Volume 8 The Secret Forest Chapter 4 Reversal of the case

It turned out that the young man was only eight years old, and he had no father or mother since he was a child, and he relied on the help of the Yang family to survive.

This Yang family is the family that was tragically wiped out back then, and this Yang family is a great family of goodness that is known to everyone in ten miles and eight towns.

Back then, the young man, as usual, came to Yang's house to get some Fumi to go, and suddenly, there was a scream outside.

The young man was frightened, so he took the opportunity to hide in the cupboard.

In the cracks, I saw a group of masked black-clothed men break in, and kill people on sight, both old and young.

At this, the young man choked up and shed tears of excitement.

"I recognize them, they use swords with special patterns on them, and if I were to look at them again, I would definitely recognize them."

Cassia saw that this young man was so excited and wanted to solve this case, and this young man was the key person.

"Now that everyone is fine, let's go down the mountain." Cassia suggested.

"Yes, under the mountain, Xiaoxiao and Zheng Yi are waiting for us." Qin Yu suddenly thought.

Just as he was about to leave, he heard someone talking in the fog.

"Zheng Yi, look, there are so many stars."

Qin Yu and Cassia glanced at each other, and immediately went into the mist, and within a few steps, they saw Zheng Yi carrying Xiaoxiao on his back, walking around in the forest.

"Zheng Yi!"

"Your Excellency!"

Cassia didn't care about the happiness of meeting, and it was important to take the two out of the fog first.

Out of the fog, I saw that Xiaoxiao was already poisoned, so I quickly took the antidote and let her drink it.

Xiaoxiao, who was in a coma after drinking the medicine, kept holding Zheng Yi's wrist tightly, as if she was afraid that someone would run away.

And Zheng Yi has always been guarding Xiaoxiao's side, never leaving.

"When Xiaoxiao wakes up, we'll go down the mountain together."

As soon as Cassia finished speaking, the young man suddenly shouted.

"My lord, it's him, he was the one who killed Master Yang's family back then."

Everyone looked at the young man in shock, only to see him walk up to Zheng Yi and point to his sword.

"That's what those people had on their swords back then."

In an instant, Zheng Yi became the object of suspicion.

"What Master Yang, is something going on?"

When the young man saw Zheng Yi's innocent face, he threatened to beat him out of a bad breath.

But where is the young man Zheng Yi's opponent, the young man will be suppressed in three or two clicks.

"My lord, what the hell is going on?" Zheng Yi asked.

Zhang Cianming told everything he learned when he came here.

Zheng Yi thought for a while and said lightly that it was impossible.

"I have followed the prince since I was a child, and I helped the prince do things at the age of sixteen, and I led the team in everything, and there was no one else, if I had done this, I would have remembered it."

The young man sneered and hated Zheng Yi, "If your prince wants to do things secretly, how would you know." ”

Cassia saw that the two of them were about to get up, so he hurriedly stepped forward and made a detour.

"How to say that the current evidence is still very one-sided, you have to look at it carefully." Cassia analyzed, and then murmured, "If only I could go to the scene of the crime." ”

When the young man heard this, he immediately reacted and said that he could take us to Yang's house.

Zheng Yi was about to get up, and found that Xiaoxiao hadn't woken up yet, so he sat down.

"Zheng Yi, you stay and take care of Xiaoxiao, and I, my master and Wang Chen will leave first." Cassia instructed, "When we return, I'll take you out of the Secret Forest." ”

Then, they went out and followed the young man to the Yang family, which had been sealed for many years.

There was a big seal at the door, and the four of them had to climb over the wall to get in.

When I entered, I saw a desolation, the bricks of the wall were overgrown with weeds, and the cobwebs could be seen everywhere, which looked very dilapidated.

Walking in, a few people walked around the Yang family together, and found nothing abnormal.

When the few people were about to split up and look for it again, Qin Yu stood in front of the main hall and looked at the couplets on the two pillars.

Cassia thought something was strange and went over to take a look.

"My lord, look at this couplet, is there anything wrong?"

"The water flows cold to the stones, and the wind comes from the flowers."

"It's a good couplet, it's quite an interesting couplet." Cassia replied.

Qin Yu stepped forward, touched the pattern of the plaque with his hand, and suddenly seemed to think of something, and went to look at the next couplet.

"This pattern is a little strange, not like an ordinary pattern."

Cassia stepped forward to study it carefully, thought of something, took a few steps back and looked away.

"This is a Gen hexagram, and it is really strange to use Gen hexagram to make a couplet edging."

The young man searched the inside and came to them.

Cassia grabbed the young man and asked, "Do you know what place is in the northeast direction from the Yang family?" ”

"It's Huling Mountain, where the terrain is complicated, and there is only one road up and down."

Cassia and Qin Yu glanced at each other, and the two nodded in tacit understanding.

Wang Chen came out of it, and was about to ask what he had found, when Cassia said to leave.

When he returned to the mountain, Cassia instructed the leaders here to let the people below feel at ease, and they would definitely be given justice.

Then the five of them and the young man went down the mountain together, and saw that the team brought by Zheng Yi surrounded the village, which was very eye-catching.

After descending the mountain, Cassia gave the village chief a hundred taels of silver and harvested all the crops.

The village chief was excited to kneel, but Cassia subconsciously helped him up.

"Village Chief, we're leaving tonight, take care."

Cassia got into the car and instructed Zheng Yi to leave someone to guard the village secretly, worried that someone would come over after leaving.

After getting ready, we set off overnight and headed back to Kyoto.

But as soon as he returned to Kyoto, the emperor wanted to summon Cassia.

After changing into official clothes, he sat in a sedan chair and entered the palace immediately.

"Weichen Zhang Cassia Ming, see the emperor." Cassia knelt on the ground, and the emperor gave him a seat when he saw it.

The emperor put down the fold in his hand and looked at Zhang Cianming condescendingly.

"I heard that Zhang Qing's family has recently been investigating the Yang family's extermination case, so you can look at it."

Cassia pondered cautiously for a while before answering, "Back to the emperor, I have a little eyebrows, and I found the eyewitness of the year. ”

The emperor applauded again and again, "What about the witnesses?" ”

"Wechen didn't bring it back." Cassia replied.

I saw that the emperor nodded, took a sip of tea, and then beckoned to let Cassia leave.

Cassia who came out of the palace pondered in the sedan chair, what did the emperor mean just now.

An old case, why is the emperor interested, who did he listen to.

These questions went back and forth in Cassia's mind, and he just couldn't think of an answer.

After going back, Cassia took a few people to Huling Mountain.

There are indeed few people who come to this mountain, and I haven't seen a single person for half a day.

"My lord, what are you doing here, it's very sunny at noon in August and September." Xiaoxiao used her sword to cut down the weeds that grew taller than people, trying to clear the way.

Cassia stood where he was, looked back at the way he looked, and saw that he had been walking for a long time.

"Let's take a break here." Cassia finds a few big trees and takes them to the shade.

Xiaoxiao screamed with hunger, so she wanted to get up and go to the woods to see if there were any wild fruits to eat.

Zheng Yi followed behind, and everyone was also relieved.

In a few moments, screams were heard through the valley.

The three of Cassia stood up in fright and ran in the direction they had just left.

Finally, spot Xiaoxiao's saber on the steep slope.

Cassia picked up his sword and walked all the way down, the steep slope was indeed terrifying, and there were many rocks and trees underneath, and it would be terrible if he hit it.

The three of them were slowly looking down, but Qin Yu's feet slipped, and the whole person rolled down.

Seeing this, the adults ran down directly in a hurry, trying to stop Qin Yu from rolling down, but he was still a step too late.

Qin Yu's head hit the stone hard, and the whole person was unconscious.

Wang Chen came down from above and helped the adult to help Qin Yu up, but he got blood on his hand.

"My lord, the blood is the blood of the master."

He trembled and stretched out his hand to show the adults, and the blood on his hands turned white with fright.

"You carry Qin Yu down the mountain, I'll go find Xiaoxiao and them, quickly."

Wang Chen, who got the order, didn't dare to delay for a moment, and immediately carried Qin Chan down the mountain on his back.

Looking at Wang Chen until he left, he relaxed and sat weakly on the ground.

After a moment, Cassia stood up with a strong pause.

Along the way down the mountain, I looked for Zheng Yi and Xiaoxiao all the way.

In a pile of grass one man high, he found a cave, and when he walked in, he found that there was another cave.

Cassia lit the fire and walked inside, seeing a large gate hidden, and vigilantly drew the soft sword at his waist.

Slowly pushed open the door with his hand and found Xiaoxiao inside.

"My lord, how did you find this?" Xiaoxiao covered her feet, her head was covered with sweat in pain, her muscles were bursting up, and she endured the pain and asked.

Cassia immediately came to them and saw that Xiaoxiao's trouser leg had been soaked with blood.

"Zheng Yi, you go out along the door and pick up two thick branches." So saying, he tore his clothes and pulled out a long cloth.

After a while, Zheng Yi came back with a thick branch, "Xiaoxiao, it will hurt a little, you bear with it." ”

Xiaoxiao was so painful that she couldn't say anything now, she just nodded, her eyes kept staring at her injured foot.

Cassia lowered the branches to the sides of her legs and held them firmly with a long cloth.

Xiaoxiao couldn't stand it, biting her hand in pain, tears dripping down with sweat.

After fixing it, Cassia relaxed and looked around, like a secret room.

Cassia came to the bookshelf, flipped through the books, and found that there was a hidden compartment behind the bookshelf, and after finding the switch, he found that there were some things hidden in the dark compartment.

When I took it out, it was a counterfeit banknote and rubbing, a booklet and a letter.

Cassia hid these in his clothes, and then took Xiaoxiao down the mountain with Zheng Yi.

It was already night when he returned to the bottom of the mountain, and the doctor who had just cured Qin Yu turned around and another injured person came, and he couldn't stop at all.

It was busy until the middle of the night that the doctor could rest.

Now Qin Yu hadn't woken up yet, Xiaoxiao had just fallen asleep again, and the remaining three big men were sitting around the table guarding them.

Cassia took the contents of the chamber from his bosom and placed them on the table.

"This should be a rubbing board of counterfeit banknotes." Then, Cassia opened the letter again.

"When you see this letter, I guess I am no longer in the world, I know that I am guilty and deserve it, but I still hope that after you see this letter, you will help me avenge, the person who wants to kill me is the Marquis of Guyang, I am just a pawn of him."
