Chapter 191 Clues
It was still the former Wu Mansion, but the owner inside had changed.

This huge and luxurious house officially became criminal property the day before yesterday, but it was temporarily confiscated for use and will be sold at a later date.

The person who sits in the Wu Mansion is naturally Yang Jie, the official of the Zuo County of Beijiang County.He had already dug three feet into the Wu Mansion, and he had gained quite a lot, but there were also a lot of doubts, which made him feel that this place could still be dug deeper, so he didn't move out of here, but continued to stay here.In addition, there are enough rooms in the Wu Mansion, and there are no local government servants from Langyuan City, so the privacy and security are better.

As for the yamen, the second batch of people from the county guard's mansion has already filled in.In addition to taking over the daily affairs of Langyuan City, he is also looking through old files day and night.The main thing is to check the cases since Wu Yuan took office as the city magistrate of Langyuan City.And the case that Wu Yuan had interests in before he took office.

The case itself was not difficult to investigate.Whether it was before or after Wu Yuan took office as the city magistrate of Langyuan City, because of the relevant personnel in the yamen here, it was easy to find out the context of favoritism, fraud or corruption of the law, and then discuss the facts, make a preliminary conviction, and then go to prison to wait for punishment.

In other words, Wu Yuan is already dead, otherwise Wu Yuan's crimes at this time would have piled up.So much so that Yang Jie often talks about "it's cheap, that's a thief".The anger that could not be vented on Wu Yuan was shared among the remaining officials in Langyuan City.

The "leniency for confession" promised by Yang Jie before did not go back on his word, and all the crimes they confessed were reduced to a lower level.But the things in the confession are all taken out to avoid the serious and light, and there is no big change in the first-class convicts, and those felonies that are involved in the digging will not have the opportunity to enjoy the first-class treatment.So one counts as one, and in the past half month, nine out of ten officials in Langyuan City who have been suspended have all gone to prison.The remaining one was also dismissed from office because he did not report his knowledge, but he stayed in his original position to see the aftermath.

Therefore, no one in Langyuan City is at ease now. They will either go to jail or lose their official position and live in fear.Even those yamen servants who were not officials were exposed, and all of them became prisoners with bitter faces.

This heavy punch is almost equivalent to completely smashing the official face of Langyuan City, and it will be rebuilt after cleaning up the exposed filth.No wonder Zhou Cang said "the sky has changed".

But in fact, although the Langyuan City case seemed to be progressing smoothly, with the digging in all aspects, more and more suspicious points were dug up, and they knew there were problems, but they just couldn't find any clues.This has become a big trouble for Yang Jie.

In Yang Jie's sight, almost all the cases related to Wu Yuan and his son can find circumstantial evidence to prove that there is trickery in them.But when it comes to human life, two important contexts are always missing: the perpetrator and the method of the perpetrator.

Take the case mentioned by Yang Jie's adjutant Liu Yi as an example.At that time, Wu Yuan premeditated to kill Yao Hua, who was then the school examiner of the prefectural government, for the sake of a high-ranking official.There were rumors before and after this incident, and some people even proved that before Yao Hua's accident, Wu Yuan and his son had figured out Yao Hua's daily habits and family location through various relationships.But how did Yao Hua get killed and act like an accidental death?And who moved the hand?None of this is known.

It would be fine if it was just a single case. Later, as Lewis had guessed, there were as many as dozens of similar murders unearthed from successive confessions.The dead involved are not only officials, but also some merchants, landlords and even ordinary people.The causes of death are also various in the files, but without exception, they are all related to the interests of the Wu family and his son, and in the end, both the Wu family and his son benefited.Those who died not only died, but their families were often broken up afterward.Even the whole family died more than once or twice.

Using Liu Yi's many years of experience to sum up these strange words: Wu Yuan and his son definitely have a group of powerful assassins to help them carry out assassinations and assassinations all year round.And the cultivation base is definitely not low.

But Wu Yuan and his son are not warriors, and the power they hold has almost nothing to do with warriors.Even the disciples at home only have one Tongqiao state to be considered the highest combat power.With such external conditions, it is hard to see that Wu Yuan can keep a group of powerful assassins in captivity.Even digging three feet into the ground didn't reveal anything related to the assassin.

This made Yang Jie unable to get off the wall.There are so many murder cases in doubt, including the official status and the extermination of the family, he can't handle it and dare not hide it.But you can't keep reporting the case overview without making any progress, right?Wouldn't that make him look incompetent?Even the credit for clearing the official face of Langyuan City this time may be offset by a lot.

So Yang Jie is really anxious. If there is no further progress, I am afraid that the county guard's mansion will ask someone else to take over this matter. At that time, the credit will be second, and the ability will be questioned.

"Is there no clue yet?" Yang Jie in the study could no longer see those relaxed smiles from a few days ago.Frowning tightly, he spoke badly to the adjutant Liu Yi who was standing bowed in front of him.

"The subordinate is incompetent, and I really can't find any useful clues." Liu Yi's face became more tired. He is on the front line, and he is the director of the investigation. Now he is stuck and cannot take the lead, so he is already busy. I haven't slept for several days, relying on squinting from time to time to hold on.

"Didn't you say that you found something strange in the backyard before? There is no follow-up?" Yang Jie can only rely on his adjutant.The other party really climbed up by handling cases, and his ability is beyond doubt.But the case of Wu Yuan and his son was indeed not satisfactory.

"Returning to my lord, my subordinates did find something strange in the backyard, that is, the dry well that I didn't pay much attention to before. Although nothing was found in it, but there was a painting on a rock wall deep in the well. Pattern. The shape looks like a vertical eye and a ball of flame. When I wiped it, I found that it was not painted with powder, but an unknown method, which can penetrate into the stone texture and cannot be wiped off or washed off.

At that time, the subordinates thought that it would be the logo of a certain assassin organization or family.But after searching through the records, there is no match.In the end, I could only use a stupid method to copy it and paint it on the wall near the four gates of Langyuan City, and then find someone to stare at it secretly.But now nothing. "

Yang Jie wanted to curse, but finally had to bear it.Liu Yi did not handle the case effectively this time, but to be honest, the case itself was too weird.With a long sigh, he said in a slow tone: "Do your best. If there is no result by the end of this month, then this case will probably be taken over by someone else.

The other pattern is currently the only clue that can be obtained. Don't limit yourself to the archives of the yamen, go to the Yuanding Imperial City for a copy, maybe there will be something to gain. "
