"No, the 23 families are all local to the village, and no one has moved in the last 10 years. Li Zheng's voice was a little higher, one was the truth, and the other was to let the villagers see that he was standing up for them; Yang Zhi nodded and asked, "That day, did you see people entering the village or passing by the village?"

"No, the official has asked a few times, but no. Li Zheng said affirmatively, Yang Zhi still nodded, and instructed Ling Hurong: "Let all the villagers tell where they were at that time, what did they see and hear?" Li Zheng, you lead the way in front, and each family calls one person back to stand at the gate, and I want to look at it one by one." ”

Ling Hurong agreed, and asked the official to direct the villagers to line up and write it down himself; Li Zheng looked at the villagers, and couldn't help but feel a little nervous, but then he thought about it several times, and it was not a big deal, so he shouted his name and arranged one person for each family. Yang Zhi thanked him and started with the two thatched huts closest to the drying field; there were no big landlords in the small village, and the houses of every household were not much different, either thatched huts or tiled houses.

Li Zheng and the villagers originally wanted to complain, but they were forced by Yang Zhi's fierce gaze, and none of them dared to speak, Yang Zhi kept seeing the west end of the village, where there was a small courtyard of three brick houses and the houses in the village were separated by a ditch, the east of the ditch was a lonely thatched land, and the west was two weeping willows, the weeping willows were some years old, and the thick two people couldn't hold them. The small yard is a row of wooden fences, and two large dogs are tethered in front of a thatched kennel.

Li Zheng hurriedly introduced: "That is Ou Peng's home, he is a merchant, either to the city to buy goods, or to walk in the four villages and eight townships, most of the time is not at home, so he has two dogs to guard the door." ”

Yang Zhi asked Yang Xuefu, who was following him: "Have you seen this person between Master Sheng and Kaifeng Mansion?"

Yang Xuefu remembered her previous testimony, nodded and said: "I have all met this person, one is that he happened to be at home on the day of the incident, and the other is that on the third day after the accident, I checked his home. ”

Yang Zhi asked Li Zheng to lead the way to the outside of the small courtyard, the two dogs were fat and strong, baring their teeth and grinning, and the iron chains were brushing; Yang Zhi looked at the kennel and asked Li Zheng leisurely: "If someone runs in to steal something, and the dog barks, can't anyone in your village come over?"

Li Zheng was stunned for a moment, his expression became serious, and after a long time, he said: "But come, as long as someone passes by outside the yard, the dog will bark, at most it will be glanced at by people nearby." ”

Yang Zhi pointed to the dog chain and said: "The length of the chain can't see the door at all, whether we open the door of the small courtyard or the door of the room, there is no way for the two dogs, will your family use such a bolting method?"

A servant behind Yang Zhi kicked open the courtyard door, although the two dogs screamed and wanted to rush over, but they were dragged by the iron chain, and they couldn't do anything at all; the official and Yang Xuefu went in to see the three rooms, there was nothing unusual, Yang Zhi smiled, walked to the iron door of the kennel, and the two dogs immediately pounced, this time the chain length was enough. Yang Zhi swung out a knife, and the two dog heads and two dog bodies landed at the same time.

Yang Zhi followed a knife to cut down the iron lock on the iron door, but did not immediately break in, but retreated ten steps away, picked up a big stone and smashed it on the door, Yang Zhi's hand strength was extraordinary, but he did not smash the iron door open; everyone was shocked, Yang Zhi ordered two archers to check the outer wall of the kennel, the archers cautiously passed, and after checking, they trotted back all the way and said: "The outside of the wall is mud and straw, and the inside is iron." ”

Yang Zhi asked people to find a big wooden stake to break open the iron door, and the iron door was a bolt from the inside; Yang Zhi ordered the officials to drill into it, and finally found a tunnel made of bricks, Yang Zhi asked Li Zheng to bring five lanterns, and he took the lead in going down the tunnel with the lanterns, and found a small stone room after walking more than 100 meters. Li Zheng's sweat came down from his head, and he muttered, "Yang Zhutou, we don't know this." ”

Yang Zhi carefully looked at the stone room, the stone room had been cleaned up, and it was obvious that there were traces of recent cleaning, except for a basket woven into the ordinary, there was nothing; Yang Zhi took a closer look at the basket, put the basket back in its place, and drilled out through the door opened by the officials, it was the tomb of Ou Peng's grandfather, no one could have imagined that the tomb was not a coffin, but a stone chamber of Tibetans. After reading the stele, Yang Zhi nodded and said: "Looking at the age of this stele, this tomb should have been dug when Ou Peng's grandfather was still alive, and it was not easy for Ou Peng." ”

Yang Xuefu nodded and said: "Three generations of undercover agents, no one really will doubt them, and they can endure loneliness." ”

Yang Zhi shook his head and said: "Ou Peng will not be a merchant, he has not seen anything valuable in the tunnels of his house, he should have a residence in Bianliang City, and an identity." Let people draw an image of Ou Peng, arrest the whole city, and bring Li Zheng back, leaving two archers in the village. ”

The location of the tomb was not far from Ou Peng's residence, but on the back of a small hill, except for the occasional woodcutter and tourist passing by, even the people of the village rarely walked to this side. Yang Zhi searched Ou Peng's house again, and found Ling Hurong in the corner of the drying field and asked: "In Bianliang, is there a master of the Shaolin faction, who is unwilling to deal with the Shaolin Temple." ”

Ling Hurong could only smile bitterly when he heard this: "There are many such people in Chang'an, and there are two of the most famous ones, one is Lord Du Wan Chedu, the angry dragon slayer, and the other is Tan Saixi, the head of the Tianzi Sect of the Royal Boxing Gym. Chief catcher, did you find any details?"

Since Yang Zhi found Ling Hurong, he didn't plan to hide it, and said some of what he knew: "Tong Yi and Tong Er are both Shaolin disciples, I just saw some boxing books in Ou Peng's room, so I have an idea, Tong Yi They used not necessarily the power of Liao and Western Xia, it may be those people or descendants who were forced to leave Shaolin back then." ”

Ling Hurong's body was shocked, and he said suspiciously: "It's been decades since this matter, isn't it over yet?"

Yang Zhi said lightly: "In the eyes of outsiders, the past is over, but in the eyes of the parties, how can the unforgettable pain be forgotten, if there is no opportunity and no ability to swallow this breath, if there is an opportunity, even if it is death, it will be a fight." Now that a few days have passed, there is that tomb, it should be that those people have left this small mountain village, you immediately go to Kaifeng Mansion, investigate whether the five masters of the rivers and lakes who died in the battle have anything to do with Shaolin, and urge them to find Ou Peng; "Read the latest chapter of "Ironium Dragon's Claw Book House" for free for the first time.
