Jin Yiwei starts from Ming Yugong

Chapter 85 The Prefect's Death
The day after the feast

Xia Yan received a secret report that all the magistrate's yamen were destroyed overnight.

He subconsciously thought it was done by Pingnan Palace.

But he quickly rejected this idea. Some things should be based on facts, and random speculation without evidence is nonsense.

Xia Yan walked out of the room and asked Chen Jiu to find Wu Zuo, and when he arrived at the magistrate's yamen with Jin Yiwei, someone had already arrived one step ahead.

"who are you?"

Xia Yan looked at the handsome man who was as handsome as an ice cube, and had an answer in his heart, but he still asked aloud.

"Shenhou Mansion—Lengxue." Lengxue continued to examine the cause of death without turning his head.

Xia Yan ordered Jin Yiwei to surround the magistrate's yamen, and asked with a smile, "What did you find?"

"All the people in this courtyard were beaten with fists and feet, their neck bones were broken, and they were killed with one blow."

"Fang Zhifu and his master, Sun Liang, had their throats sealed by sharp swords, and their swordsmanship was fast, precise and ruthless, and they were almost killed with one blow."

"As for Houya... most of them are raped first and then killed."

After Leng Xue finished speaking, his already ice-like face became even colder and more handsome.

"Have you found anything else?"

Xia Yan looked at the ground that was not stained with a trace of blood, and nodded slightly.

"No." He looked around coldly, holding his sword and staring at Xia Yan, "Now you have the highest official position in Fuzhou, what are you going to do?"

"The matter of Qianyuan Treasure has attracted a large number of people from the rivers and lakes, and now the whole Fuzhou is mixed with dragons and snakes."

Xia Yan explained the difficulty, and then smiled and said: "But the strong dragon does not suppress the local snake, even if they are dragons, they have to coil."

"If you commit a crime in Fuzhou, you will naturally have to pay a price."

Originally, these people in the rivers and lakes had nothing to do with Fuzhou Qiu, so he naturally didn't want to touch them.

But now that Fang Zhifu is dead, even if they didn't do it, they should be arrested and sent to prison for interrogation.

Cold-blooded looked at Xia Yan, turned around and left the magistrate's yamen.

Xia Yan then began to check the cause of death of the dead bodies all over the floor.

First, he carefully checked the eyes, ears, mouth and nose of the corpse, then untied the clothes of the corpse, and finally found a palm print on the neck of the corpse.

Does this palm print look familiar?
Slam the monument!

Xia Yan quickly thought of the source.

Xiong Shan has been arrested and taken to Beijing, and those who can display this kung fu are probably Shaolin disciples or the Murong family.

Only they could have practiced Dashou Beishou.

Xia Yan untied the clothes of several corpses, and after careful inspection, he realized that they were killed by the same person.

He walked in front of Fang Zhifu and Sun Liang again, seeing how they were dying, he also sighed with emotion.

Heroes are forbidden by martial arts!
The magistrate of a prefecture was beheaded silently in the courtroom like this.

Xia Yan untied Fang Zhifu's clothes, and after careful inspection, he found that the body was stiff, with no trace of blood on the surface, a sword wound on the throat, and coagulated blood on both sides of the ear.

Two injuries!

Xia Yan pondered for a while, looked at the amount of bleeding on the ground and the coagulation marks in his throat, and immediately came to a conclusion.

They didn't die from sword wounds, which were obviously drawn from behind.

Fang Zhifu was killed by someone smashing the eardrum with double wind piercing or sound wave power.

Master Sun Liang also died in this way.

The man drew the sword wound afterwards, just to create the illusion that they died by the sword.

The murderer is likely to be the same person!

It's just that Fang Zhifu's wife and concubine were raped and killed, and it couldn't be the same thing.

This is obviously unreasonable!

Xia Yan jumped onto the roof and found a row of fresh shoe prints on the roof.

Immediately followed a few steps, but found that the shoe prints returned the same way, and understood that they might be left in cold blood.

Xia Yan returned to the magistrate's yamen, and checked room by room.

Passing by the official document room of the prefect's yamen, I found that the official documents in this room were scattered everywhere, as if someone was looking for something.

He patiently picked up the official documents on the ground and flipped through them one by one.

There are many things recorded in the official documents, such as: Zhou Tuhu in the west of the city was sued to the Yamen for lack of catties.

The embankment of Qixia Town was washed away by the river due to the torrential rain in spring and needed repairs.

Someone was sued by the wife's family for buying and selling his wife and children for gambling debts.

It took Xia Yan an hour to sort out all the official documents.

The things recorded in the official documents are scattered, most of which are civil matters.

However, it was unexpectedly discovered that Fang Zhifu was monitoring the Pingnan Palace, and recorded all the affairs of the Pingnan Palace, and passed it to the capital through Zhezi.

The things recorded in this Zhezuo are very detailed, and even the several times when King Pingnan went out to Gong are recorded in detail.

Xia Yan saw this Zhezuo and felt that the suspicion of Pingnan Palace could be minimized.

But he couldn't rule out whether the Pingnan Palace was suspicious.

Take important information away!Deliberately leave some unimportant clues to get rid of suspicion!

Xia Yan stood there thinking for a while, and then carefully checked whether there was a hidden cabinet in the official office, but unfortunately, he still found nothing.

Walking into the Hou Yamen, looking at the wives and concubines in Fangzhi's mansion who are dying and disheveled, they can only sigh with emotion.

Prosperity, people suffering, death, people suffering!
It's just that they have been wealthy people after all, and they were considered to have had a good time during their lifetime, so they are different from real common people!

Xia Yan also checked these people in detail, and found that there was actually only one person who was raped and killed!
The prettiest one among the wives and concubines of Fang Zhifu.

The rest of the people may have been hit by a palm during the pulling process, and their muscles and bones were broken and died.

He carefully checked the beams and other places in the back office, but found no useful clues, but he couldn't find any jewelry, bank notes and silver taels.

But this incident is similar to the disappearance of children in Qixia Town.

It's the same way of killing and silence, but also without leaving any clues. This way of doing things is very similar to that of the White Lotus Sect!

Could it be that Fang Zhifu found out about the White Lotus Sect?Will the White Lotus Sect kill people?
Xia Yan pondered for a while, then walked out of the back office.

"My lord, Zuo Zuo is already undergoing an inspection, but he said that some injuries will not appear until two or three days later."

"I'm here to ask your lord if you want to transport the body to Yizhuang for preservation."

Chen Jiu explained in detail what Wu Zuo had discovered.

Xia Yan handed the jewelry and bank notes he received to Chen Jiu, and said with a smile: "Place it in Yizhuang first, and when the case is solved, you can use the money to bury Fang Zhifu's family, and the rest will be your hard work." fee."

"I'll go back to Jinyi Guard first, and find Pingzhi to arrest people and handle the case."

Chen Jiu nodded yes.

Xia Yan left quickly, and after returning to Jinyiwei, he summoned Lin Pingzhi and told what happened in the magistrate's yamen.

"Shaolin lay disciples or disciples of Shaolin Temple, as well as those who know the sound wave technique, all of them will be arrested."

"Wait, go find Zuo Lengchan and ask him to assist you in catching people."

Lin Pingzhi immediately complied, and the prefect of Fuzhou was killed, which was a matter of breaking the sky.

The imperial court will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly. If this case is not handled well, Jin Yiwei will not be less responsible.
