The former county magistrate is a thin middle-aged man.

is different from ordinary scholars, although he is wearing a county official uniform, but in his bones, he reveals a simple craftsman atmosphere.

His skin was dark, his palms were rough, and they were covered in calluses and scars.

It seems that there are many craftsmen on a regular basis.

This is not surprising.

The Great Qin Jushi did not all employ scholars such as Confucianism and Legalism.

Some craftsmen born in the Mo family and peasant families can also be officials.

After Huijue explained his intentions, he invited Huijue to enter the county office.

It seems that he came to the original county by himself, and the state capital has already passed a book to him.

"The little master's intention, Xun already knows. ”

"In fact, this matter is also related to a very difficult issue in my original county. ”

A group of people took Huijue into the county office, and on the way, the original county magistrate was already a little impatient to say.

"Amitabha. ”

"Donor, please. ”

Huijue nodded.

"Here's the thing......"

After receiving Huijue's reply, the thin former county magistrate hurriedly continued,

"This one thing has to start from about 10 years ago. ”

"Ten years ago, the original county was not Xun Mou, but Xun's predecessor, Luo County Ling. ”

"At the end of the term of office of the Luo County Commander, a murder occurred in Qianche Town, the former county, and almost all of the 74 members of the family of Zhai Yuanwai, the richest man in Qianche Town, were brutally killed. ”

"The corpses were all violently killed, and the methods of death were disembowelment, heart and lungs, and even eight pieces were dismantled, torn alive and skinned. ”

"Some of the corpses died so miserably that it took us a long time to identify the corpses sent by the county government. ”

"And in this murder, only one person survived. ”

"He is Zhai Yuanwai's biological son, the only seedling of the Zhai family, Zhai Ying. ”

And, by his own admission, he killed all the people in his family. ”

Hearing this, Huijue couldn't help frowning slightly,

"Amitabha, he killed his entire family?"

"It's not!"

Xun Xian Ling shook his head and couldn't help but smile bitterly,

"If it's that simple, that's fine. ”

Although Zhai Ying himself admitted that he killed everyone, after we investigated, we found that the real murderer was not him at all. ”

"It's Zhai Ying's scholar, Bai Kuan. ”

"The Bai family is a tenant of the Zhai family, the Bai family rents the Zhai family's land, and at the same time, the son of the Bai family, Bai Kuan, entered the Zhai family since he was a child and served as a scholar for Zhai Ying. ”

"The relationship between the two families was originally harmonious. ”

But I don't know why, before the murder of the Zhai family, the entire Bai family disappeared, and then Bai Kuan's unjust soul took revenge and killed the entire Zhai family. ”

"We guess that the disappearance of the Bai family may have something to do with the Zhai family. ”

Xun County's words fell, and Hui Jue bowed slightly,

"What does Master Xun mean is that the Zhai family killed the entire Bai family, and Bai Kuan's resentment in his heart did not dissipate, turned into a powerful ghost to take revenge, and killed the entire Zhai family?"

"Exactly. ”

Xun Xian Ling nodded.

Then he continued,

"But in reality, it's more than that. ”

After Bai Kuan killed the entire Zhai family, his resentment did not dissipate, and he was still entrenched in the Yi River outside Qianche Town. ”

"On the first day of every month, on the fifteenth day of the month, he would make waves in the Yi River, and anyone who dared to cross the river on these two days, no matter who it was, the elderly, children, and pregnant women were all killed by him. ”

"So far, according to our records, more than 1,600 people have died at his hands, and since ten years ago, our people here have not dared to approach even if they have crossed the river. ”

"So rampant?"

There was some anger in Huijue's eyes,

"In the past ten years, hasn't the county government sent someone to deal with him?"

Saying this, Hui Jue couldn't help but ask.

The Yi River is one of the more famous rivers.

Daqin has a vast territory.

There are seven great rivers in the world.

The name is: River, Chishui, Liaoshui, Heishui, Dajiang, Huaihe, Canglan.

These seven are all great rivers that run through several states, and even ten states.

The Yi River is a tributary of one of the seven great rivers.

The river originates in the northwest of Daqin and flows eastward to the North Sea.

Leizhou is also a large state through rivers, and it is also the border between Leizhou and the three neighboring states to the south.

"Of course, the county government has sent a master to arrest him. ”

Xun County Ling smiled bitterly,

"It's just that this fang doesn't know what's going on, and it's extremely high, and it's very good at water. ”

"He hid in the Yi River, and it was not easy to defeat him in a fight, let alone go down to the river to chase him. ”

"It's not just the masters of the county government, in fact, the state government has also sent Xuanmen masters many times. ”

As a result, the people who came either became water ghosts of the Yi River, or retreated in embarrassment. ”

Among them, Mr. Xuan Xiu of Dahong Taoist Temple also came here. ”

"He is a great cultivator of the Dao Sect, and he is extremely good at the Five Elements Water Dao Divine Power. ”

"It's a pity that although he defeated this fang, but this fang escaped in the Yi River, Mr. Xuan Xiu chased him along the bottom of the Yi River for more than a thousand miles, until he chased him to the entrance of the big river, knowing that he couldn't chase him, he had to give up. ”

Later, less than a month later, the fang returned, still in the Yihe section of the river, making waves and wantonly harming people. ”

Speaking of which, Xun County Ling is really angry and helpless.

"This fang is really arrogant!"

Hearing this, Hui Jue frowned deeply.

But then, he couldn't help but say,

"Why is this fang so resentful, but a lonely soul and wild ghost can actually fight with the great real people of the Daomen. ”

"That's something we don't understand. ”

Xun Xian Ling said ashamedly.

Mr. Xuan Xiu also had questions about this, and wanted to ask Zhai Ying, the survivor of the Zhai family's case, if he knew something secret, but he didn't want to open his mouth at all. ”

"He won't speak?"

"Then where is this Zhai Ying now? Can you take the little monk to have a look?"

Hui Jue said towards Xun County Order.

His words fell, but Xun County Ling immediately said,

That's exactly what Xia Guan meant. ”

"We're on our way to the county jail. ”

"It's almost there. ”

Xun County Ling said this, and Hui Jue also showed the same expression.

Along the way, Xun County Ling said while taking him straight to the back of the county office.

He was a little confused.

Unexpectedly, Xun County's order had this meaning for a long time.

It can also be seen from this that it seems that he really cares about this matter.

Led by the Xun County Order, accompanied by a group of officials and errands from the original county, Huijue soon came to the front of the inner cell behind the county office.

"In the county, the prisons where prisoners are generally held are located, and elsewhere, are dedicated to the temporary detention of prisoners on trial, as well as for those who are extraordinarily capable of serious crimes. ”

In front of the county jail, Xun County Ling said.

From the outside, the inner dungeon has only one entrance the size of a hut.

At the entrance is a stone gate.

The stone door is carved with all kinds of talismans and prohibitions. 21010
