At dinner, Qingchuan and Yeqi had already returned, and Yunluo was also shouted. She had a good afternoon sleep and was in good spirits.

When Yunluo went to the next room, three big men were sitting around the table discussing something. As soon as she sat down, she heard a commotion downstairs.

"Surround this place! The thief is hiding here, search! ”

The sound outside was not small, and it was just audible inside the house. Rong Zhou also secretly said that it was not good, so he got up and rushed to the next room. It's just that they were stopped in the house, and the officials had already gone to the next door to tie up Gurry and Mrs. Gao and take them downstairs.

"Dare to smash this girl's field." Yun Luo rolled up her sleeves and was about to rush out, but was grabbed by Qing Chuan, and at the same time looked at Rong Zhouyi on the side.

"They can't be allowed to take Gurry away."

As soon as Rong Zhouyi's words fell, the guards blocking the door were instantly restrained by Ye Qi. Rong Zhou also took the opportunity to chase downstairs, and many officials had received the favor of Yunluo's snow and plum san that night, so they didn't really stop them.

Before Master Li and his people could get out of the inn, they were blocked by Qingchuan jumping down from the second floor.

"I wonder why this lord captured Gurry?" With Qingchuan blocking the road, Rong Zhouyi and Yunluo are not in a hurry. The two of them came down from the upstairs slowly and asked a question.

"Why? This thief broke into the middle school of the gold clerk and wanted to make money and kill him, but was caught by the guard of the gold clerk's family, but unexpectedly let him escape. The official just received a secret guard, saying that the thief was hiding here, so he would be brought to the yamen. ”

Master Li's face did not change, and he said with his head in a Taoist manner. Many of the spectators who were chatting and eating on the first floor looked at each other at this moment - what is the situation?

"My lord, they are the ones who took Gurry away!" It is suspected that the little guy of the Jin Mansion said such a sentence beside Lord Li, and Lord Li raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "Oh? That being the case, take them down together! ”

"Who dare?"

Outside the door, the county commander and Li Zhutou also rushed over with some officials. They just received a letter, saying that Master Li led people to surround the inn where Rong Zhou also lived, others may not know, but he knows that this Rong Gongzi is extraordinary, how can he be wronged? So he hurriedly came with someone.

"Lord County Order, they are making a big fuss about the Jin Mansion harboring criminals, why don't they arrest them?"

Master Li was obviously a little angry, and Rong Zhou took a sip of tea unhurriedly, and said, "County Master, please go and invite Jin Yuanwai and the previous county commander Master Xu to come over." ”

The county lord didn't know why, but he still did it and asked the officials to bring people.

Yun Luo pointed at Gurry and said to Master Li: "Let them go, I finally saved them, if something happens to you again, I can ask you." She said this seriously, she has never saved a few people since she was a child, and she didn't plan to meet one to save another.

It's hard to save someone, and if he dies again, then he will smash the master and the family signboard.

Master Li didn't want to pay attention to her, but those officials had already obediently loosened the rope that bound the Gao family husband and wife. Li Da is not angry, but the county order is here, and he doesn't dare to spread it if he is angry.

"What do you have to toss outside of this member?"

Jin Yuanwai and Master Xu were brought over together, and Rong Zhou also put the teacup on the table when he saw this, and said, "Since everyone is here, then I will start talking." ”

"Who are you? Which round here gets you to speak? But why don't you take this person away quickly? Jin Yuanwai looked at Rong Zhouyi viciously, it was a few of them who had ruined him just now. But now is not the time to settle accounts, and he just wants to get Gurry away quickly.

Qingchuan leaned against the door with a posture of not wanting to go out if he came in, and the county magistrate sat at the table and made his position clear.

That's when they realized something was wrong.

"Three years ago, near the Guanyin Temple outside the town, a caravan was robbed and everyone died, but the whereabouts of the body are unknown. At that time, the county magistrate Mr. Xu did not investigate the matter thoroughly, but closed the case in a perfunctory manner. ”

However, rumors of haunting were boiling, and several adults secretly discussed the rebuilding of the Guanyin Temple, and did a big deal. Since then, although the Guanyin Temple is dilapidated, there has never been an accident. ”

Rong Zhouyi's expression was slightly serious, Yun Luo sat on the side, holding the snack in her hand that she didn't know when she asked Xiao Er, and listened carefully while eating.

"What are you talking about?" Master Li was already a little weak-hearted, and Rong Zhou also smiled lightly and continued:

"Three days ago, two bodies appeared in the Guanyin Temple and the eaves collapsed at the same time, and it was suspected that someone was killed by stone. In fact, Lord Wang and Lord Zhou were both murdered to death. Lord Wang will not mention it for the time being, but first talk about this week's Lord ......"

After he finished speaking, he deliberately paused, and his eyes looked at Yun Luo, who was smiling and eating snacks. Yun Luo was also stunned for a moment, not knowing what he was doing when he looked at himself at this time?

Qing Chuan, who was standing at the door, suddenly spoke: "There is a pair of special Emei thorns in Jin Yuanwai's house, and this Emei thorn does not seem to be suitable for men. "This was still what they saw when they were making trouble in the Jin Mansion, and Qingchuan just accidentally saw it at that time, and he forgot about it afterwards. It was only when Rong Zhouyi interrogated Gurry that he remembered. So when he was helping Rong Zhouyi to do something, he brought this out together.

"That Emei thorn was given to Madame by me, what's wrong?" Jin Yuanwai glared at Qingchuan, and in his heart was surprised, when did he see it?

Qingchuan raised his eyebrows and did not speak. threw a piece of cloth wrapped in something from his arms to Rong Zhouyi, and was finally caught by Yeqi.

"Miss Yunluo, please look." Ye Qi opened the cloth, and what was placed inside was a pair of Emei thorns.

Yun Luo didn't look at the excitement anymore with a snack in her mouth, sat up straight and leaned over to take the Emei thorn and measured it a few times: "It's like ......."

Lao Li was also the person who knew the most about this case, and suddenly asked, "Could it be that this is the murder weapon that has never been found?" ”

"Yes, it's about the same length." After she finished speaking, she took out a small paper bag from her waist and sprinkled the powder inside on the Emei thorn.

In one of the sharp spots, the powder gradually turned blue.

"This powder is sprinkled on a blood-stained area for less than seven days, and it will appear blue."

Yun Luo's face changed after Yun Luo finished speaking, and Rong Zhou also continued: "Just now I asked people to go to Lord Zhou's house to investigate, Mrs. Zhou said that when her husband was not missing, others had been in a very anxious state, and always said that when someone came to investigate this matter in a few days, he would be finished. ”

"I don't know if the things referred to by 'this matter' have anything to do with Master Li and Master Xu?" He looked at a few people meaninglessly, but Master Xu denied it on the spot, and said: "I didn't work in the yamen early, what did he have to do with me if he was afraid of investigation?" ”

"Ahh Speaking of which, then I'll talk about Master Xu, why you were dismissed in the prime of life. Rong Zhou also clapped his hands, his eyes locked on Master Xu's body, and said: "We looked through the previous files in the yamen, and found in the files filed with the prefect that you had embezzled the public money of the yamen to build the Guanyin Temple. ”

"The locals present, you must all know that three years ago, Master Xu claimed to the public that several adults used their own furniture to repair the temple. The embezzlement of public silver was written into the file by the teacher, so Master Xu, you were dismissed. ”

"Do you have any evidence for that? It's all your gibberish, though. Master Xu retorted confidently, and Rong Zhou also raised his hand at Yun Luo: "If you want evidence, then I will give it to you." ”

Yun Luo reacted this time, put down her snacks and ran upstairs with her calves, and then put the file she took out on the table.

"In order to destroy the evidence, you did not hesitate to use Gurry as an excuse to go to the Yamen to report the crime, in order to take the opportunity to set fire. You want to wait for an opportunity to kill Gurry, but to your surprise, this girl sneaked into the Golden Mansion and found Gurry. ”

Rong Zhou also looked at the puzzled diners next to him, pointed at Gurry and said, "This is the orphan of the caravan owner back then, and we have also found the body of the caravan." It was hidden in the Guanyin Temple and became a dry corpse. ”

All the diners exclaimed, Jin Yuanwai pretended to be justified and sneered, and just about to refute, he heard Yun Luo's crisp voice coming: "It's not strange that you say it's strange, this Guanyin Temple has been newly repaired by the Yamen, and there are more than a dozen intact dried corpses buried in it, but no one has found it." ”

"They must have buried it!"

"No wonder the Guanyin Temple has been haunted during that time, it turns out that there are corpses inside!"

Several diners spoke one after another, and Rong Zhou also waved his hand to silence them before continuing: "It should be haunted first before burying the corpse." Otherwise, there are people in the Guanyin Temple who worship incense and stay overnight day and night, how can they have the opportunity to hide the corpse? ”

"Because the Guanyin Temple is 'haunted', people who have been to the temple are seriously ill. Therefore, the mage can have an excuse to rebuild the Guanyin Temple and take the opportunity to hide the body. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Master Xu over there made a defense: "If it is really what we did, why bother so much, just throw the corpse into the mountains." ”

"Because you can't do this, as far as I know, when the caravan had an accident three years ago, the imperial court sent General Chu Si'an Chu Xiao to lead six thousand elite soldiers into the mountains to suppress bandits, not to mention more than a dozen corpses, I'm afraid that a few rats will be caught if they enter the mountain."

As soon as Rong Zhou's voice fell, someone next to him began to echo.

"It seems like that's the case, since the fight, there have been no more bandits outside our town."

A cold sweat broke out on Lord Li's forehead, and Yun Luo sat on the side and flipped through the file boringly, and found that something was wrong.

"I think the reason why Lord Zhou was killed was because you knew that the orphans of the caravan were still alive and wanted to seek revenge on you." As he spoke, he moved his gaze to Gurry and asked, "Have you ever found Lord Zhou?" ”

"Yes, I didn't know who the killer was at the time. I just vaguely knew that it was someone from the yamen, so I asked one by one. The first one to ask was the dead Lord Zhou. ”

"The old gentleman was drunk at the time, and I heard some. Later, when I asked Lord Zhou, he refused to say anything, and in the end I could only intimidate the old gentleman and force him to tell me what happened back then, so that I could find out who killed my father. ”

Rong Zhou also nodded, took a sip of tea and moistened his throat: "Lord Zhou was afraid at that time, first, he was worried that Gurry would know the truth and seek revenge, and second, he was afraid that Gurry would continue to report the crime. The corpse was buried in the Guanyin Temple, and if you really have the heart to check it, it is not impossible to find it. He was scared, so he was killed by the other four who were trying to bury the truth. ”

Master Li swallowed his saliva and retorted angrily: "You are a fool! ”

"Really? Lord Zhou disappeared for three days, but his body appeared in the Guanyin Temple on a rainy night. And it was not early that night, why did a few people who were not rich or expensive go to the broken temple outside the city? ”

Rong Zhou was also aggressive and threw all the questions over. Jin Yuanwai and Master Li were silent, and Master Xu said without thinking: "It was purely a coincidence that we went there that day. ”

"Happened to be out of town?"

Rong Zhou also held on to this question, Yun Luo slapped the table and said, "Zhouzhou, look at this paper, it seems that it can be cut." ”

He was stunned for a moment when he heard the title of the little girl, and then leaned over a little awkwardly.

Before they could see it, Master Xu turned around and was about to run, and was finally frozen in place by Qingchuan.

The case file could be opened between two pages, and from it they found more than a dozen pieces of paper, which were densely filled with the ins and outs of the events of the year.

Back then, General Chu Xiao suppressed bandits, and the mountain bandits around here were either dead or arrested. Jin Yuanwai was originally a mountain bandit in the vicinity, but he has always had something to do with Master Xu.

A lot of the money he robbed was given to Master Xu, and after the bandit den was suppressed, Jin Yuan had no livelihood and had bad thoughts again. thus threatened the county commander Master Xu, who had been privately accepting bribes to shield the mountain bandits, and Master Xu pulled the three adults Wang, Zhou, and Li into the water.

The five of them discussed and decided to rob the caravan, and they inquired around and learned that the Gao family was very wealthy and often went to Luling to sell goods. So they lay in ambush near the Guanyin Temple for half a month, and finally waited for the Gao family caravan on the way back from selling goods and then killed people and robbed money.

At that time, General Chu Xiao's elite soldiers were searching for bandit dens in various mountains, and they knew that they could not throw the corpse in the field, so that it would be easy to be discovered. So he had an idea to hide the body in the wing of the Guanyin Temple, and then created a haunting incident and hid the body in it while the temple was being built.

The craftsmen who helped them hide the corpses were also wiped out, and the master couldn't bear it and didn't know how to expose the matter, so he took advantage of the fact that when the file was sent to Zhizhou, he secretly changed some of it and wrote down the matter of public bank, hoping that Xu County's order could step down.

And this secret letter he hid in this file, firstly, in order to threaten Master Xu not to kill him or affect his family, and secondly, he also hoped that if someone related to the Gao family caravan came to overturn the case one day, the truth would be revealed.

The content of the letter is undoubtedly an ironclad evidence, and the county lord immediately ordered someone to take down the three people. Jin Yuan wanted to resist, and finally was broken by Qingchuan and his arm was taken to the cell by the officials.

The county lord looked at Rong Zhouyi and then at Gurry, wanted to say something and stopped, and finally left the inn without saying anything.

"Does he have something to say?" Yun Luo didn't understand what his last few eyes meant, and turned her face to ask Rong Zhouyi.

"Sort of."

"Then why didn't he say it?"

"There's no need to say it."

Yunluo was still in the clouds, but Gao Rui and Mrs. Gao both knelt in front of Rong Zhouyi to thank him. Until the two of them were gone, and the diners had dispersed, she still didn't understand what was going on.

"You tell me?" Yun Luo stuck to his side and sprinkled coquettishly, Qing Chuan on the side was thinking about whether to threaten him to say it, Ye Qi stared at Qing Chuan with a look of staring at you.

"Pack up and leave for Luling tomorrow."

Yun Luo saw that he didn't want to say anything, and thought angrily that he would definitely not let him sleep well tonight!
