At this point, the battle ended, the two sides were killed and wounded each other, three arresters in the yamen were killed, and the rest were also seriously injured.

After a while, Chen Yibing and others rushed over one after another, and they were far away, but they were delayed on the road.

Qian Zhutou walked up to the assassin's corpse and took off his black scarf, "Looking at the face, it doesn't look like a Jingzhou person." Then he said to the people:

"Take the corpse with you, go back to the yamen first, and then say, this place is not suitable for a long time."

Xu Jianping helped Wang Lin up, and many catchers also supported the injured people and the corpses on the ground. Immediately, the others returned to the yamen.

Inside the yamen, Li Jingrui Taishou, who got the news, was already waiting at the yamen, looking at the three corpses on the ground, Li Taishou's expression was grim, and he suppressed the anger in his heart to appease everyone. This is the first time since Li Jingrui took office that the yamen was arrested and killed, and there were three at a time, "Qian Arrest, this case must be investigated as soon as possible, and the people behind the scenes will be brought to justice." ”

"Subordinates take orders" Qian Zhutou gestured, and then called Xu and Chen to bring Yan Shuhuan into the Yamen study.

Yan Shuhuan was obviously frightened after this night's tossing. Qian Zhutou brought a bucket of water and got some dry food for him to tidy up a little.

"You are Yan Shuhuan" Xu Jianping deliberately lowered his voice and asked at a slower pace.

"Well, so-and-so" Yan Shuhuan took a sip of water and smoothed down the dry food, and his eyes were gloomy and choked.

"Do you know who the person is tonight, and why did he kill you," Xu Jianping then asked.

"I don't know them, but I know why they killed them" Yan Shuhuan immediately told everyone what he knew.

More than ten days ago, inside the inn.

Since Yan Derun's death, the inn has been taken over by Yan Shuhuan. At this time, it was already early days, and the customers in the inn had dispersed, and the people staying in the hotel had already rested in the wings.

In the cellar in the backyard, Yan Shuhuan is moving several jars of good burning knives to the front hall for tomorrow's backup, when moving to the last altar, there is an iron door behind the wine jar, driven by curiosity, Yan Shuhuan found an iron door with an iron rod, walked in, and walked all the way for about half an hour, it was actually an iron door, Yan Shuhuan continued to pry open the iron cable, and walked forward to a dungeon, where dozens of women, children and elderly people were imprisoned.

"Wake up, wake up, why are you here" Yan Shuhuan hurriedly ran over to try to wake up the people inside.

"Please, give me something to eat!" The people in the dungeon woke up and said weakly.

"Wait a moment, a certain rescuer will come out," Yan Shuhuan continued to ask.

"You are not with them? Childe, please, help me and wait out" After hearing Yan Shuhuan's words, everyone reacted, crawled over one after another, held on to the prison door, and kept shaking the iron door.

Perhaps it was the hope of life, and the iron door was shaken.

"What's the noise, if you quarrel again, I'll drag you all to feed the dogs tomorrow." The movement in the dungeon was too loud, and several strong men with swords came out of the stairs, and they happened to see Yan Shuhuan laboriously using an iron rod to pry open the big lock of the iron door.

"Who's there?"

When Yan Shuhuan saw it, he hurriedly threw away the iron rod, pulled his legs and ran back, and several strong men followed closely behind.

In the end, Yan Shuhuan escaped, but his family could not escape, and several strong men captured his family back to the dungeon. However, the detainees did not know about it. Later, Yan Shuhuan found an opportunity and sneaked into the dungeon the day before yesterday to rescue his family, but he was imprisoned for several days, and he did not eat, and the big guys couldn't run, and they were slaughtered in the deep alley in the process of escaping. Only Yan Shuhuan ran out again.

"Why don't you come to the Yamen to report to the official!" Qian Zhutou and the others asked after learning what had happened.

"I don't dare, I'm afraid that they will find someone after reporting to the official, and I hurt them" After Yan Shuhuan finished speaking, the psychological pressure was finally relieved, and he knelt on the ground and cried.

I am sorry that I have not faced it bravely, I regret that I failed to protect my family, and I am sad that my life is worse than death.

"It's broken" Xu Jianping slapped his thigh suddenly, "The inn is in danger." ”

Xu Jianping hurriedly ran to the outer courtyard: "Qian catches the head, immediately gather people to go to the Yuelai Inn, since we have found the people, then they must understand that we know about the dungeon, and we will ...... tonight" Before the words were finished, only a "boom" was heard, and a dazzling fire was rising under the ink-like sky dome in the south of the city.

When everyone arrived, the entire three-story inn had already burned into flames, and dozens of people who were burned by the fire were lying on the side of the street, wailing incessantly, and people nearby were holding their own water to put out the fire. Qian Zhutou jumped up to the third floor several times, trying to rush in to save people, but was separated by the fire.

Xu Jianping got closer and sniffed it, a pungent smell of tung oil, obviously someone deliberately set it on fire, and the huge explosion sound of Shicai, it was the sound of gunpowder, and the cellar in the backyard had been blown up.

When the fire subsided it was already the next morning, everyone was busy all night after the statistics: 54 people were burned to death, 22 people were burned, due to the suddenness of the fire, and with the help of tung oil, the fire spread quickly, except for a few astute people, most of them were still in their sleep and were already entangled in flames, and there was no escape.

Xu Jianping and Qian Zhutou came to the backyard and found the cellar mouth according to the traces, the cellar mouth had collapsed at this time, and they didn't know the direction of the cellar, and they couldn't dig it up in a short time.

"What to do with these bones?" Chen Yibing walked over and asked Qian Zhutou.

"If there are family members who claim them, let them dispose of them themselves, and if they are unclaimed, bury them on the spot, and bring them back without much resettlement." Qian Zhutou thought about it and felt that it could only be so.

After this day and night's hard work, everyone in the yamen was already tired, and when they were done, they all went back to sleep.

At three o'clock, Xu Jianping took the wooden box to the burial place of today's bones, took out the lamp, candlestick and other objects from the wooden box, and placed them on the ground one by one, holding the lamp instrument and chanting words in his mouth.

After a while, a thick smoke floated out of it, standing in the air, its shape was like a human figure, and when it came closer, it was composed of 54 human faces, and a trace of fire came out of the surroundings, and it rushed towards the east. Thankfully, the figure was shrouded in the light of the candlestick, and no matter how much it struggled, it still couldn't break free.

"The fruit of this life, the cause of the previous life, don't struggle, go where you should go" Xu Jianping pointed the lantern in his hand to the north, and the smoke instantly escaped into the air.

After that, Xu Jianping packed up his belongings and put them back in the wooden box. Looking to the east, it was the place where the sun rose, but it was also the place where the filth and dirt were hidden, and the case was getting more and more complicated.
