The arrest record in Lin Feng's hand was blown by the night wind, trembling violently, like a kite trying to break free.

The fire shone on the paper, so that Zhuang Yan and the others, who were close to the paper, saw the names on the paper very clearly.

The names were densely packed, and there were more than two dozen of them.

And among them, several names are circled.

Lin Feng said slowly: "The name of the circle is the relatives of Zhao Peng and others. ”

"There are their parents, there are their children, there are their brothers, their sisters, ......"

"On this arrest record, the reason for the arrest is either to gather a crowd to make trouble, or to steal other people's property, or it is suspected that other forces are responsible for internal response, and they need to be arrested and interrogated."

"There are all kinds of reasons, and you can see ......"

Lin Feng glanced at Wang Pengcheng, whose eyes widened and his pupils were constantly trembling violently, and said with a smile: "You really put a lot of effort into arresting them reasonably and controlling Zhao Peng's death hole back then. ”

The green tendons on Wang Pengcheng's face began to beat, and the blood vessels swirled around his forehead, looking a little crazy and terrifying.

He gritted his teeth stiffly, and his voice seemed to spit out from between his teeth: "They committed crimes back then, and it is reasonable for me to arrest them, is it that I, as a county lieutenant, can't even arrest a few ordinary people who committed crimes?" ”

"Ordinary people who commit crimes?"

Lin Feng smiled coldly.

He took out another piece of paper from his bosom and said, "Here is the list of people who were released, the date, and the reason for their release!" ”

In the Tang Dynasty, or in various dynasties, there was a strict prison system.

There must be detailed records of the arrest and release of prisoners.

If it were decades or centuries, these records could be lost.

But now it is only ten years, and it is still the prosperous era of Zhenguan, and Zheng County has not been attacked by war again, so these records have been preserved and are very detailed.

Lin Feng looked at Wang Pengcheng and said lightly: "You said that they are all ordinary people who committed crimes, then can you explain to this official, why when they were finally released, the reasons given were acquittals?" ”

"You say they are guilty, but where is the guilt?"

Wang Pengcheng's brows furrowed, his eyes flickered for a moment, and said: "Back then, the situation was chaotic, and there were many people who took advantage of the chaos to fish in troubled waters, in order to maintain the stability of Zheng County, I could only catch a thousand wrong ones than let one go...... So if you accidentally catch the wrong few people, there is no way to do it. ”

"What can't be helped?"

Lin Feng laughed and said, "Indeed, you can make an excuse and say that you accidentally caught the wrong one, so what about the release time?" ”

Wang Pengcheng's expression froze.

Lin Feng pointed to the date on the paper, his eyes were as sharp as a knife, and he stared at Wang Pengcheng: "The dates you released them were all on the same day, and on the same day...... It was on the second day of the Zhou family's extermination case! How do you explain it? ”

"What?"

Zhuang Yan was stunned and said, "They were all released on the second day of the Zhou family's extermination case?" ”

The others' eyes widened as well.

Lin Feng smiled: "Zhuang County Ling also thinks it's a coincidence, right?" ”

"The relatives of Zhao Peng's five people were all arrested before the Zhou family's extermination case, and their release time was exactly the day after the Zhou family's extermination case, and the reason why they were arrested was not because they committed the crime at all, but because they were arrested ......wrongly."

"It's just that Zhao Peng and the five people are the real executors of the Zhou family's extermination case! They and Wang Pengcheng are still conspirators! ”

He looked at Zhuang Yan and said with a smile: "Zhuang County Order, you are good!" You savor it! With so many things put together, who do you think is in control of whose destiny? Who can command whom to act? ”

Zhuang Yan's face was cold, he gritted his teeth and said, "Do you still need to think about this?" ”

"Obviously, it was Wang Pengcheng who used Zhao Peng and their relatives to coerce Zhao Peng and them to act according to his orders, and after Zhao Peng and they killed the Zhou family, Wang Pengcheng fulfilled his promise and released their relatives."

When the others heard this, they all nodded in agreement.

"Zhuang County's order is right, I also think that's the case."

"If it's just a person's relatives arrested, it can still be a coincidence, but the relatives of these five people have been arrested, then it can't be a coincidence!"

"Wang County Weiniang's illness has been cured, and there is no weakness, but he arrested Zhao Peng and their relatives and was able to coerce them."

"I really didn't expect that County Lieutenant Wang would be such a person!"

"What else do you say County Lieutenant Wang, phew! He is a despicable, insidious and vicious villain, is he worthy of the word county lieutenant? ”

"Wang Pengcheng is really hidden, if it weren't for Lin Si re-investigating this case, we wouldn't have known that he was so insidious!"

The officials exchanged heads and talked about each other.

Zhuang Yan took a deep breath, looked at Lin Feng, and blamed himself: "Lin Sizheng, it's the negligence of the lower official, the lower official has never found out, the subordinate of the lower official is such a person who harbors evil intentions and is ruthless!" ”

Lin Feng saw Zhuang Yan blaming himself, shook his head, and comforted: "Zhuang County Order doesn't have to blame himself, first of all, you are not the county magistrate who personally experienced the case back then, it has been several years since this case when you took office, and it is normal that you will not pay attention to this case." ”

"Secondly, even if you have personally experienced this case, but Wang Pengcheng's planning is very thorough, first Xie Fang's family was treated as criminals, and then Liu Fei's five people were used as second-layer scapegoats, how can you know that the real murderer will be five ordinary people in a village who have nothing to do with the Zhou family?"

"Since you don't know about the existence of the five of them, how can you pay attention to the relatives of the five of them, whether they have been arrested or released?"

Lin Feng said with a smile: "The reason why this official will investigate these is because the five Zhao Peng people that the official discovered first are the real murderers, and the official also knows that he Wang Pengcheng is also an accomplice, and the official is looking for clues based on the results, so it is naturally more purposeful and easier." ”

Listening to Lin Feng's gentle words, Zhuang Yan's heart was full of emotion.

He only thought that Lin Feng's ability to solve cases was terrifying before, but now, he was even more impressed by Lin Feng's personality charm.

He took a deep breath and nodded heavily: "Thank you Lin Sizheng, Lin Sizheng's words made Xia Guan's heart feel a lot more comfortable." ”

Lin Feng smiled, he looked at Wang Pengcheng again, and said, "What else do you have to say?" ”

Wang Pengcheng clenched his fists with both hands, his nails were buttoned into the flesh, and blood flowed.

His eyes were scarlet, as if he was an enraged lion, staring at Lin Feng deadly: "If I knew you would check those, I should have destroyed these records a long time ago!" ”

When everyone heard this, the look of disappointment on their faces was completely fixed.

Because of Wang Pengcheng's words, there is no doubt that he has already admitted Lin Feng's inference.

Lin Feng's inference before, even if it sounded reasonable, the inference was inference after all, but now, Wang Pengcheng admitted it, it was already a fact.

He is really the mastermind of the Zhou family's extermination case!

Zhuang Yan looked at Wang Pengcheng with a complicated expression, shook his head and said, "This official still thought that you would continue to quibble and insist that all this was a coincidence. ”

Lin Feng smiled, but there was no surprise, and said: "When I want to go back to Puguang Temple to track down the identity of the person back then, he can't wait to escape overnight, which proves that he thinks that when this official finds out those people hiding in Puguang Temple, he will definitely be able to confirm that he is the mastermind." ”

"This shows that those thieves must have ironclad evidence pointing to him in their hands, otherwise, if it is really as he said, he is forced to cooperate, he is completely ignorant of what the thieves have done, and he only did a small thing that did not go to the gate of Zhou's mansion to patrol the night, then even if he will be implicated in this case, he will never die, and he may not even be able to squat for a few years in prison."

Li Shimin was very cautious about the death penalty, and specially set up a system of five repetitions, the so-called five repetitions, which meant that the execution was carried out two days before the execution and three on the execution day, giving Li Shimin the opportunity to repent.

Therefore, if there is no evidence pointing to Wang Pengcheng as the mastermind, Wang Pengcheng did not kill people with his own hands, and his hands were not stained with blood, then he would never die.

"And compared to being incognito, frightened, and having nowhere to go in the world, the result is now only a few years in prison at most...... Besides, he was the county lieutenant of Zheng County, and he was familiar with the jailers in the prison, even if he was in prison, he wouldn't be too uncomfortable, so why did he escape overnight? ”

Listening to Lin Feng's words, Zhuang Yan thought about it and nodded immediately.

He said: "The official thought that he had finally found out in his conscience and stopped quibbling, but it turned out that he knew that he couldn't quibble at all, so he gave up!" ”

Hearing this, Zhao Shifu scratched his head and said, "Father-in-law, since Zhao Peng and the others all have ironclad evidence of Wang Pengcheng, and Wang Pengcheng also knows this, how can they save Zhao Peng's life if they are as insidious and vicious as him?" ”

"Isn't that always the risk of leaving yourself exposed?"

Hearing Zhao Fifteen's words, everyone's eyes suddenly fell on him.

Zhao Wufu thought that he had said the wrong thing, his face turned red, and he hurriedly said in embarrassment: "I, I just talk about it casually, don't worry about it." ”

Seeing this, Lin Feng smiled and said, "No! Fifteen, that's a good question. ”

When Zhao Fifteen heard this, his eyes lit up and he looked at Lin Feng.

Just listened to Lin Feng said: "Through the analysis I just made, we all know very well what kind of person Wang Pengcheng is. ”

"He acted carefully and planned cautiously, and in the Zhou family extermination case, he never killed people in person from beginning to end, and he always played the role of a poor person who was coerced...... So how could he leave himself with such a big risk? ”

"Not to mention that he has no humanity, in the face of the Zhou family who helped him, he can repay virtue with resentment, how can he not bear to do anything to the so-called accomplices who have to be stained with blood by his own coercion?"

When Zhao Fifteen heard this, he was very puzzled, and said, "But he still didn't do it." ”

"No!"

Lin Feng shook his head and said, "It's not that he didn't do it, it's that he couldn't do it." ”

"Can't do it?" Everyone was stunned.

Lin Feng looked at Zhuang Yan and said, "Zhuang County Order, you just said that Wang Pengcheng released Zhao Peng and their relatives on the second day of the Zhou family's extermination case, and you fulfilled your promise...... But in the eyes of this official, people like Wang Pengcheng would not do such a thing as fulfilling their promises at all. ”

"The reason why he quickly released Zhao Peng and their relatives was only because he didn't dare to let go, he was afraid that Zhao Peng and them would expose his conspiracy and expose him, so he could only release them first to appease Zhao Peng and them."

Zhuang Yan was stunned, and he couldn't help but look at Wang Pengcheng.

Wang Pengcheng's face was gloomy, his eyes were cold, but he didn't refute it, it seemed that it was really as Lin Feng said.

Lin Feng continued: "Zhao Peng, they can threaten Wang Pengcheng, it is obvious that they have important evidence, but how can a person like Wang Pengcheng let them go? Even if he pretended not to leave that night because he had to lead the officials to put out the fire, once he had the opportunity, he would definitely kill people and kill people, only in this way could he be completely relieved. ”

Saying that, Lin Feng looked at everyone and said, "Don't forget, Zhao Peng's new household registration information was given by Wang Pengcheng, and Wang Pengcheng also prepared the place for them, don't think that this is how kind Wang Pengcheng is, and he has considered the road behind for them." ”

In fact, with the office, Wang Pengcheng will be able to know where they went! With household registration information, whether they use the new household registration information or not, Wang Pengcheng can clearly know what their identity is! In this way, no matter how fast they run, Wang Pengcheng can easily find them, so as to kill people! ”

Listening to Lin Feng's words, everyone's pupils shrank.

The ordinary officials only felt a chill, and instantly rushed straight to the Tianling cover from the soles of their feet.

That terrifying coolness, that cold feeling, made their hands and feet cold.

They never thought that what Wang Pengcheng seemed to have prepared for Zhao Peng and the others was to facilitate him to kill people and kill them!

Zhuang Yan's eyes also widened, and he couldn't help but swallow and spit subconsciously.

Seeing this, Zhao Fifteen and Sun Fujia also felt a little cold.

It was really Wang Pengcheng's viciousness, which surprised them.

He really showed hypocrisy to the extreme!

"Really?" Zhuang Yan's scalp was numb.

Lin Feng slowly looked at Zhuang Yan and said slowly: "What Zhao Peng and the others did later can prove this. ”

"What?"

When everyone heard this, they all looked at Lin Feng.

Lin Feng said calmly: "The three monks who were killed in Puguang Temple can now be confirmed to be three of them by Zhao Peng, and before this official came to Zheng County, the Chang'an County Commander had counted the information of Zhicheng, Zhihe and Zhiguang, and asked someone to send it to this official. ”

"So the official knows all the information about the time when the three of them entered the temple."

"First of all, it's the time they enter the temple!"

Lin Feng looked at everyone and said, "The time when Zhicheng and the three of them entered the temple was the beginning of the sixth year of Wude, and the time when the Zhou family's extermination case occurred was in October of the fifth year of Wude. ”

"In other words, not long after the murder case, they entered the temple in a hurry to become monks."

Lin Feng looked at Zhuang Yan as he spoke, and said, "Zhuang County Order, do you think they entered the temple as monks in such a hurry?" ”

"You know, at that time, they had just obtained countless wealth from the Zhou family! They have just been given a new identity and can enjoy their hard-earned wealth! ”

"They finally got so much money, but they didn't enjoy it at all, so they went headlong into the temple on the mountain, and lived a vegetarian diet every day, either chanting scriptures or ringing bells! Do you think this is reasonable? ”

"This ......"

Zhuang Yan's brows furrowed tightly.

He thought about it, his eyes rolled for a long time, but he could only shake his head and say, "It's really unreasonable!" And at that time, Xie Fang's family had already scapegoated for them, and they didn't have to worry about being wanted by the imperial court at all...... So it is indeed a little strange to enter the temple without hesitation at this time. ”

The others thought about it and nodded in agreement.

Through the destruction of the door, I finally got countless wealth, but I didn't enjoy it at all, so I went to the deep mountain temple to be a monk, went to the temple to eat vegetarian and chanted scriptures, and I didn't live well in the Zhou Mansion.

"And!"

Lin Feng continued: "Just now, when the official asked Wang Pengcheng about the new household registration identity he had prepared for Zhao Peng's five people, Wang Pengcheng told us the five names. ”

Everyone nodded hurriedly, and they all heard it.

"But ......"

Lin Feng's voice suddenly changed, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "You may not know...... The five names given to the official by Wang Pengcheng and the names on the household registration information of the Chang'an County Decree to the official were Zhicheng before they became monks......"

He looked at everyone and paused deliberately before continuing: "...... Not at all! ”

"What!?"

"The name doesn't match?"

"How so?"

Everyone was stunned.

Zhuang Yan was also stunned for a moment, then suddenly looked at Wang Pengcheng and said sharply: "You are still deceiving us!?" ”

Wang Pengcheng's face was gloomy, his brows furrowed, and he said, "This kind of thing has no effect on me at all, why should I deceive you in this matter?" ”

Zhuang Yan was stunned for a moment, and he frowned: "You didn't deceive us?" ”

"Then why ......"

He couldn't help but look at Lin Feng and said, "Why can't the household registration information be correct?" ”

Everyone was also at a loss, Wang Pengcheng didn't lie, and Lin Feng couldn't and didn't need to lie, what was going on?

Why is the household registration information different?

They all looked at Lin Feng suspiciously.

Lin Feng met everyone's inquisitive gaze and said with a smile: "He really didn't deceive us, but Zhicheng's household registration information is indeed different...... But Zhicheng and them are indeed Zhao Peng, not two waves of people, so there can only be one explanation. ”

Everyone held their breath and looked at Lin Feng nervously.

Lin Feng squinted his eyes, looked at Wang Pengcheng, and said slowly: "That is like Wang Pengcheng forged household registration information for Zhao Peng...... After the Zhou family's extermination case, after Zhao Peng and the others left Zheng County, they tried to find a way to forge a household registration information for themselves again. ”

"At that time, the world was chaotic, and it was extremely difficult to count household registration information, and there were many hidden populations, which were not counted, and the 'Juntian System' and 'Rent Modulation' were promulgated in the seventh year of Wude, and the five-year household registration management of Wude was far less strict, so as long as there was money, it was not difficult to forge household registration information."

Everyone thought about it, and then they all nodded.

As those who had experienced that era, it was easy to understand Lin Feng's words.

Lin Feng said: "Based on these, we can have an intuitive understanding of Zhao Peng's itinerary." ”

"At the beginning of October of the fifth year of Wude, they created the tragedy of the Zhou family's extermination case, and then left Zheng County with the help of Wang Pengcheng's pass...... But as soon as they left, they immediately created a fake household registration information for themselves, but after getting the new household registration information, they didn't even have time to enjoy a prosperous life, and hurriedly ran to the deep mountain temple to become a monk! ”

"There was less than two months between them entering the temple and the Zhou family's extermination case, and during these times, they had to falsify household registration information and hurry, so it can be said that there was no day to rest......

Lin Feng looked at everyone, followed by good temptations, and said, "What do you think Zhao Peng is doing all this in such an abnormal way, doing all this in such a hurry?" ”

Lin Feng had already hinted at this level, if everyone present didn't understand it, it would be too stupid.

Zhuang Yan's eyes widened and he said, "Escape!" Hide! Don't want to be discovered! ”

Lin Feng smiled: "Don't want to be discovered by anyone?" Hiding from whom? ”

Zhuang Yan's pupils twitched violently, his face was full of surprise, his eyes couldn't help but look at Wang Pengcheng, and said, "Who else could it be!?" ”

"After they left Zheng County, they were so anxious to falsify their household registration information again, clearly wanting to get rid of Wang Pengcheng, after all, only Wang Pengcheng knew their identities before and after forging!"

"So obviously, they don't want to be discovered by Wang Pengcheng! And the reason why they go to the temple in a hurry is because there are few people in the temple, as long as they are not outside to entertain pilgrims, it is difficult for anyone to find them, so they are the safest in the temple! ”

Everyone nodded heavily when they heard Zhuang Yan's words.

Lin Feng nodded slightly: "It seems that the Zhuang County Order has already understood everything." ”

He looked at Wang Pengcheng and said slowly: "Now let's go back to the question just now - is it that Wang Pengcheng doesn't want to kill people to prevent future troubles?" ”

"Obviously, it's not that he doesn't want to kill! Of course, he prepared everything in advance, and when the matter in Zheng County was resolved, he would be able to find Zhao Peng and them according to the information of the office and household registration, and then kill people! ”

"It's just that he didn't expect it...... Zhao Peng and the others had already noticed that Wang Pengcheng might have to cross the river and demolish the bridge, so they were very smart and directly gave up the household registration information and the transfer center that Wang Pengcheng prepared for them, and spent money to forge a new identity again. ”

"In this way, Wang Pengcheng has completely lost their traces, and if he wants to kill them, he can't find them."

Zhuang Yan nodded in agreement, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion, and said: "Wang Pengcheng is cunning, and Zhao Peng is not far behind." ”

Sun Fujia couldn't help but say: "But Zhao Peng and they are also decisive enough, even if they have a lot of wealth, they can not hesitate to give up that good life, and directly and decisively hide in the temple to live the days of ringing the bell and chanting Buddha and eating vegetarian." ”

Lin Feng said with a smile: "The consequence of being indecisive is likely to be found by Wang Pengcheng, then those who greet them at that time will definitely die!" How could they not be decisive? ”

"Not to mention ......"

Lin Feng lowered his head, looked at the arrest list in his hand, and said slowly: "Their relatives, can they still stay in Zheng County...... If they can live, it will be a deterrent to Wang Pengcheng, Wang Pengcheng will never dare to treat their family badly, but once they die, the safety of their family cannot be guaranteed. ”

"So even for the sake of their families, they have to survive."

When everyone heard this, they all nodded with embarrassment.

Who would have thought that after the Zhou family's extermination case, those criminals who committed a lot of crimes would still have such intrigue and conspiracy!

These people, there really isn't a stupid one.

But after thinking about it, if any of them were stupid, they might have died a long time ago, and they wouldn't have been able to wait for the survivors of the Zhou family to take revenge.

Revenge......

Zhuang Yan thought of this, and couldn't help but sigh again, he said: "But no matter how decisive Zhao Peng is, they still didn't expect that one day, they would be found by the survivors of the Zhou family...... They escaped Wang Pengcheng's pursuit, but they did not escape the revenge of the survivors of the Zhou family. ”

When Zhao Fifteen heard this, he thought about it and said: "This is the so-called not retribution, the time has not yet come, this is their due retribution." ”

Everyone else nodded.

After all, Zhao Peng and Wang Pengcheng fought wits and courage, and finally evaded the pursuit and hid in the deep mountain temple, but in the end, they still died in the hands of the survivors of the Zhou family, if this is not retribution, it can't be explained.

But who knows, when Lin Feng heard their words, he shook his head and said with a smile: "Retribution? ”

He looked at everyone and said, "After the official finishes a few very coincidental things, you will judge whether this is retribution or not." ”

Everyone was stunned for a moment, but they didn't understand what Lin Feng meant.

They subconsciously looked at Lin Feng.

I heard Lin Feng say: "When this official first arrived in Zheng County, he inquired about the situation of the abandonment of the Zhou Mansion...... It stands to reason that such a large mansion in the Zhou Mansion and such a good location should not be abandoned for ten years. ”

So the official was curious, so he inquired about it...... As a result, it was learned that the Zhou Mansion had haunted ghosts twice in the past ten years. ”

Listening to Lin Feng's words, a servant spoke: "Indeed, the Zhou Mansion has been haunted twice. ”

"I remember...... The first time was a year after the Zhou family's murder case, when the watchman passed by the door of the Zhou Mansion, he heard the sound of ghosts crying from the Zhou Mansion, which scared the watchman into illness for several days. ”

"I remember it too...... And the second time the Zhou family was haunted, it happened half a year ago! ”

A tall and thin official, when he talked about this, his face turned a little pale, and he said: "At that time, our group was on night patrol, but when we passed by the gate of the Zhou Mansion, we heard a movement in the Zhou Mansion, and then we took a look into the Zhou Mansion with the help of the hidden door......

He looked left and right, looking very nervous, his voice was much quieter, and said, "As a result, we saw the ghost fire, the ghost fire...... In this empty mansion, there is a ghost fire floating in the air, and it scares us to death! ”

Hearing this official speak, the other officials also echoed.

"I saw the ghost fire too!"

"There really is a ghost fire!"

"The blue ghost fire, floating in the air, is very terrifying!"

With the opening of these officials, everyone only felt that the temperature around them seemed to have dropped a lot, and they originally only thought that it was the night wind howling, but now, they suddenly felt that the night wind was a little cold.

Because the second haunting was what they saw with their own eyes, their reaction was even more violent.

Even Zhao Wufu couldn't help hugging himself tightly, looking a little nervous.

Seeing this, Lin Feng smiled and said, "You didn't know that there were survivors in the Zhou family before, so you would think that this was a haunting, which is normal...... But now, you all know that there are survivors in the Zhou family, how can you still think that this is haunted? ”

Everyone was stunned.

Then the official widened his eyes and said in shock: "Could it be ...... Isn't that a ghost? Is it a survivor of the Zhou family? ”

When everyone heard this, they all looked at Lin Feng.

"Except for the survivors of the Zhou family, who will cry here?"

Lin Feng said slowly: "In the first year, the watchman heard a whimper, thinking that it was the survivors of the Zhou family who came back here to pay tribute to the souls of the dead. ”

"Why did he pay tribute at night? It's because during the day, people come and go outside, and he is afraid that someone will find out about his existence. ”

A servant said, "But when we came to check the next day, we didn't find the ashes of the burning paper." ”

Lin Feng said with a smile: "He can't expose it yet, after all, he hasn't found the real murderer yet, and he hasn't avenged it, so he naturally has to be cautious, so after burning the paper to pay tribute, he will definitely clean the scene and won't be discovered by anyone." ”

Everyone thought about it, and then they all nodded suddenly, what Lin Feng said was very reasonable.

Lin Feng looked at them and said, "Because you don't know that the Zhou family has survivors, it's easy for you to think that it's haunted, but you must know that Wang Pengcheng knows the truth about the Zhou family's extermination case, and he knows that the real murderer Zhao Peng and the five are still at large." ”

"So, what do you think...... When Wang Pengcheng knew the truth about the Zhou family's extermination case, he suddenly heard a voice in Zhou's house, what would he think? ”

Zhuang Yan's eyes flashed, and he hurriedly said: "He will think that it is Zhao Peng and someone who has returned!" ”

Lin Feng bowed slightly: "Not bad!" Because he knows more secrets, he will have a completely different judgment on the same thing. ”

"It's just that when he knew, it was already the next day, and the next day the yamen went to search, and there was no trace of the person who came at all, so that time, Wang Pengcheng returned in vain."

The officials all nodded, they had experienced those things and knew that what Lin Feng said was the truth.

"But!"

Lin Feng's voice changed: "This matter, but after all, it gave Wang Pengcheng a reminder, letting Wang Pengcheng know that since Zhao Peng and the others will come back once, they will definitely come back a second time, so he must definitely pay more attention to the haunting of the Zhou Mansion than anything, and be more keen!" ”

"That's it, half a year ago, the second haunted thing happened!"

Lin Feng looked at the officials and said, "This official wants to know, when the second time you were haunted, when you were on the night patrol, was Wang Pengcheng there?" ”

The faces of the officials changed drastically: "Here!" It was Wang Pengcheng who led us to patrol the night! It was also Wang Pengcheng who first noticed that there was movement in the Zhou Mansion! ”

Lin Feng's eyes flashed slightly, and he laughed: "He has been paying attention to the haunting of the Zhou Mansion, how could he find out about the movement later than you?" ”

"That night, after discovering the ghost fire of the Zhou Mansion, what did he do?"

The officials frowned and thought about it, and quickly thought of it, after all, after half a year, their memory was still very clear.

"At that time, after we were scared away, Wang Pengcheng said that we should not go to patrol near Zhoufu for the time being."

"Because we were all terrified, and we all agreed with his proposal."

"But not long after we patrolled, he said that there were still some official duties in the yamen that had not been handled, so let's continue patrolling first, and he would go back to the yamen to handle official business first, and then come to us after the handling was completed."

Zhuang Yan was stunned: "Is there anything else?" How did the official not know? ”

The officials said: "An hour later, Wang Pengcheng came to us again, and nothing else happened that night, so we didn't think much about it, and we didn't report to the Zhuang County Order." ”

"Yes, and the results of the night patrol were all reported by Wang Pengcheng to Zhuang County, he didn't say it, and we don't know."

Zhuang Yan nodded with a calm face, he looked at Lin Feng and said, "What they said is right, Wang Pengcheng didn't tell the official, the official didn't know that night, he had left alone." ”

Lin Feng didn't care about this, he said: "With the first haunting, the Zhuang County Order should know what Wang Pengcheng is doing, right?" ”

Zhuang Yan's face was ugly and said, "Of course, I sneaked to the Zhou Mansion to find the person who was mistaken for pretending to be a ghost...... But he didn't know that there were survivors in the Zhou family, what he thought should be Zhao Peng and them. ”

Zhuang Yan looked at Lin Feng and said, "But he shouldn't have seen the survivors of the Zhou family, right?" Otherwise, with Wang Pengcheng's ruthlessness and the desire of the survivors of the Zhou family to avenge the Zhou family, the two of them would not be safe. ”

Everyone also nodded, agreeing with Zhuang Yan's words.

But Lin Feng said, "No! I think they must have met. ”

"What?"

Everyone was stunned.

Zhuang Yan's eyes widened: "Meeting!?" How can it be? ”

"If they meet, the two of them will definitely not let go of each other, how can they both be alive and well?"

Everyone else nodded hurriedly, they all thought the same way.

Wang Pengcheng's ruthlessness has already been seen.

And the survivors of the Zhou family killed three people in a row in Puguang Temple to take revenge, so it can be seen that in order to take revenge, he is by no means a soft person.

So how can two enemies meet like this?

Lin Feng said, "Don't worry...... When I asked Sun Langzhong to secretly investigate Wang Pengcheng, I found out one thing. ”

"What's the matter?" Zhuang Yan hurriedly asked.

Lin Feng said: "Sun Langzhong found Wang Pengcheng's records, and found that seven months ago, Wang Pengcheng had been to Chang'an City once for official business...... This is the first time he has been to Chang'an City in ten years. ”

Zhuang Yan thought for a while, and then nodded: "There is indeed such a thing, that pass is still the official who opened the bill for him." ”

Lin Feng said: "And Sun Langzhong also found out...... Wang Pengcheng's mother was seriously ill again, and this time she was really terminally ill, and his mother believed in Buddhism and often went to worship Buddha. ”

"So do you think that after Wang Pengcheng went to Chang'an, by the way, he went to a famous temple in Chang'an for his mother to ask for a Buddha?"

Zhuang Yan frowned, and couldn't help but look at Wang Pengcheng, only to see that Wang Pengcheng's eyes suddenly widened at this time, and his scarlet eyes instantly stared directly at Lin Feng, and the expression on his face suddenly changed significantly.

Don't...... He was shocked: "When he really went to Chang'an, he went to the temple?" ”

Lin Feng smiled and continued: "There are also survivors of the Zhou family, he has been looking for those real murderers for so long, and it can be seen from his ruthlessness and the fact that three people died in a row as soon as he made a move...... He must be eager for revenge! ”

"In other words, as long as he finds these real murderers, he will definitely take revenge a long time ago."

"But in fact, it took him a full ten years before he took revenge, why?"

Zhuang Yan frowned, and guessed: "Because he also found these real murderers not long ago?" ”

Lin Feng nodded: "This speculation is the most reasonable...... If this is the case, then it can be known that the person who killed these monks in Puguang Temple should not be the monks of Puguang Temple...... Because the monks recently accepted by Puguang Temple are all small novices, such as Zhicheng's generation, they have stopped accepting disciples four years ago. ”

"If the survivor of the Zhou family was a monk from Puguang Temple, he wouldn't wait until four years later to do it...... Therefore, it can be inferred that the murderer who killed Zhicheng and them can only be someone who has been in Puguang Temple in the recent past, and it must be someone who has been in Puguang Temple for a few nights. ”

And there are three such people...... That is, the three pilgrims who were trapped in Puguang Temple. ”

Sun Fujia's eyes flashed, and he said, "So, the murderer is among the three pilgrims?" ”

Lin Feng nodded: "According to the existing clues, and the fact that the government is concerned about the murder case in Puguang Temple, he can't wait to make a move on the third person, and it can be inferred that he can't wait at all...... If it were a monk, it would have been done a long time ago, and it would not have waited until now. ”

Sun Fujia thought for a while, and then nodded in agreement.

Lin Feng continued: "And before leaving, the Chang'an County Commander also ordered someone to send me the information of these three pilgrims. ”

"These three pilgrims, one of them is a relative of an official in Chang'an City, he has been living in Chang'an City, and his identity is confirmed, he will not be a survivor of the Zhou family!"

"The other two are not from Chang'an, they both came to Chang'an from other places...... And, according to their records, we can know that they are all coming to Chang'an for the first time, and they all came to Chang'an within half a year. ”

"And as soon as they came to Chang'an, they frequently traveled to Puguang Temple...... Obviously, their goal is Puguang Temple! ”

"Although I don't know who among them is the survivor of the Zhou family, based on this, many things are worth our taste."

Lin Feng looked at everyone and paused deliberately, leaving time for everyone to think and digest.

Then he said slowly: "Seven months ago, Wang Pengcheng went to Chang'an for the first time, and he had a reason to go to the temple to worship Buddha for his mother. ”

"Six months ago, the survivors of the Zhou family came back to pay tribute to the souls of the dead, Wang Pengcheng found out for the first time, and soon returned to find this survivor of the Zhou family! The two are suspected to have met. ”

"Not long after, the survivors of the Zhou family went to Chang'an for the first time, and after coming to Chang'an, they plunged into Puguang Temple, and the goal seemed to be very clear, and then they went to Puguang Temple many times in a row."

"Finally, a few days ago, the executors of the Zhou family's extermination case were killed by the survivors of the Zhou family one after another!"

Lin Feng Road; "After combing through the chronological order, did you find anything?"

Everyone listened to Lin Feng's words, and their brows couldn't help frowning.

Sun Fujia's eyes flashed, and he was the first to show a look of astonishment, and said, "The survivors of the Zhou family are obviously going to Chang'an for the first time, why did they go directly to Puguang Temple?" That looks, ...... It's like having a clear goal, and the goal of going to Chang'an is Puguang Temple! ”

Zhuang Yan nodded and said, "It's like this...... But it's the first time he's going to Chang'an, why is his goal so clear...... Could it be that he knew that those thieves were hiding in Puguang Temple? It's not right, if he knew it before, then he must have gone a long time ago, and besides, Zhicheng and none of them have been out of the temple, how could he know that they were hiding in Puguang Temple before he went to Puguang Temple? ”

"Unless ......" Zhuang Yan seemed to think of something, his eyes widened.

Sun Fujia took a deep breath and nodded: "Unless, someone has been to Puguang Temple, met Zhao Peng and them, and knew that the survivors of the Zhou family were looking for them, so they told the survivors of the Zhou family the news of Zhao Peng and them!" Combined with the fact that half a year ago, Wang Pengcheng may have met with the survivors of the Zhou family, and Wang Pengcheng went to Chang'an City exactly seven months ago......"

Everyone listened to Sun Fujia's words, and their hearts hung up.

They looked at Sun Fujia nervously, and then listened to Sun Fujia say in a deep voice: "Not surprisingly, it was Wang Pengcheng who went to Chang'an seven months ago and found Zhao Peng's traces, but he went to Chang'an on official business and couldn't stay for a long time, so he couldn't kill people." ”

"And Chang'an City is not something he wants to go to, just half a year ago, he found the survivors of the Zhou family, so he came up with a plan, told Zhao Peng and their whereabouts to the survivors of the Zhou family, and used the survivors of the Zhou family to kill him!"

Brush it up!

Sun Fujia's words made everyone's pupils tremble, and their faces couldn't help but turn white.

They opened their mouths wide and froze!

No one really thought that it would be such a development!

Is that really the case?

They couldn't help but look at Lin Feng for confirmation.

Then they saw Lin Feng and said slowly: "Sun Langzhong is almost the same as my inference. ”

"Since Wang Pengcheng has been paying attention to the Zhou Mansion and wants to kill Zhao Peng and kill them, then after he sees the Zhou Mansion haunted with his own eyes, he will never give Zhao Peng a chance for them to escape, and he knows that the entrance and exit of the Zhou family's secret passage will never lose people in such a short period of time, so the official concluded that he must have seen the survivors of the Zhou family."

"But as you said, it is impossible for the two to meet without incident...... But if they are really fine, then there is only one possibility...... That is, the survivors of the Zhou family knew that Wang Pengcheng was an accomplice, but they didn't know that Wang Pengcheng was the mastermind, and Wang Pengcheng was too good at disguise, just like he had just cried with regret in front of us, and he won the trust of the survivors of the Zhou family with tears in his eyes. ”

After that, Wang Pengcheng told Zhao Peng, the survivor of the Zhou family, where they were hiding, and wanted to borrow the hand of the survivor of the Zhou family to eradicate the trouble for him.

"As long as Zhao Peng and the others are dead, he is not afraid that his secret will be revealed, as for the survivors of the Zhou family...... After he takes revenge, he will definitely come back to pay tribute to his family, so Wang Pengcheng will have the opportunity to finally kill him at that time. ”

That way, he would be able to kill everyone involved! No more worries! ”

Everyone listened to Lin Feng's words, and they all felt cold in their hearts.

They looked at Wang Pengcheng, and only felt that the familiar Wang Pengcheng in front of them was so strange at this moment.

Not to mention the harm to the Zhou family, he also has to use the survivors of the Zhou family as his knife to help him eradicate future troubles!

Wang Pengcheng's insidious ruthlessness is really refreshed over and over again with the revelation of the truth.

Lin Feng also looked at Wang Pengcheng, looked at Wang Pengcheng's frightened appearance of looking at him, and said slowly: "But the survivors of the Zhou family don't fully believe you, even if you heard that Zhao Peng and they were hiding in Puguang Temple, he also went to Puguang Temple over and over again to confirm, and after confirming everything, he did it, so it was delayed for another six months." ”

"Wang Pengcheng, is this really the case?" Zhuang Yan couldn't help but ask.

Sun Fujia looked at him coldly: "It's useless for you to hide it now, when we return to Chang'an, we can still know the ins and outs of the matter." ”

When the officials heard this, they all stared at Wang Pengcheng.

But Wang Pengcheng just stared at Lin Feng, his expression was frightened, and his whole body trembled.

Looking at Lin Feng's expression, it was as if he had encountered a natural enemy.

At this moment, there is no need for Wang Pengcheng to answer.

And the people understood everything.

Sure enough, as Lin Feng speculated!

Wang Pengcheng really used the survivors of the Zhou family to make his knife and help him kill people!

Their emotions are complicated, and at this moment, it is indescribable.

Lin Feng saw Wang Pengcheng looking at him nervously, his dark and deep eyes became deeper and deeper, and his gaze made contact with Wang Pengcheng's eyes, giving Wang Pengcheng the feeling that it was as if the dirtiest and dirtiest place in his heart had been spied on.

"I want to ......"

Lin Feng hooked the corners of his mouth and said lightly: "You should have been paying attention to the news of Chang'an for the past six months, right?" Do you want to know if the survivors of the Zhou family who were used as swords by you have succeeded...... So, when I first arrived, were you very happy? Because you succeeded. ”

Wang Pengcheng gasped for breath, as if he was a drowning man, and his scarlet eyes stared at Lin Feng in horror.

"But blessings and misfortunes depend, you didn't expect it...... The purpose of the survivors of the Zhou family is not only to kill people for revenge, he also hopes that the Zhou family's murder case can see the light of day again and the truth can be truly revealed...... Therefore, this official not only brought the news you wanted, but also came with the obsession of an avenger who has been chasing the murderer for ten years, and came to reveal the truth! ”

"And now ......"

Under the light of the fire, Lin Feng was like the only light in the night.

He looked around the desolate mansion, looked at the charred building, and his ears seemed to sound the desperate cry and roar of the Zhou family that night ten years ago, he closed his eyes, was silent for a moment, and said slowly: "And now, the truth of the late arrival has finally been revealed...... However, it was ten years late. ”
