This hero will strike

Chapter 43 Searching for people in the whole city (Happy New Year everyone!)
Shangye County Yamen.

The atmosphere in the yamen this day, from last night to now, has been extremely depressing.

The head arrester Zhao Zi, County Magistrate Liu and County Captain Zhang gathered in the hall, their brows were tightly wrinkled and their faces were ugly.

They got a report from the yamen servants that since last night, people had been beating drums at night to report the incident, and when it was dawn, four families came to report the incident.

The nature of the case was unexpected. The deceased were all officials, and they all died under the sword of a man in black.

Among them, Liang Tong, the head of the infantry army, and Yang Jianhe's family members came to report the case, and they all gave the murderer's full name, Yan Rugang.

If ordinary people died, maybe it would be easier to explain, but those who died were all officials, and in a sense these four officials were also their colleagues.

Four colleagues were killed last night, and the three of them inevitably felt a kind of sadness in their hearts.

During the silence, County Magistrate Liu, who was most responsible, finally broke the silence, took a sip of tea, and said, "According to the description of the deceased's family, this Yan Rugang should be a knight-errant with a sword. It seems that this is a typical case." The Jianghu murder case is a way for the people of the Jianghu to vent their anger on my imperial court."

As the head of a county, County Magistrate Liu is not a dizzy and corrupt official. On the contrary, he is clever, tactful in his affairs, and treats people exquisitely. He is quite friendly with the local forces in Shangye County.Naturally, he also knew a little bit about the four dead colleagues, but usually because they knew how to be filial, so he turned a blind eye to what they did.

Zhao Zi, the head arrester, couldn't help frowning. County Magistrate Liu's words implied pressure. After all, although he was sent down by the Zhao family from the county, he was the head arrester, and it was his job to solve the case.

When a case arises, no matter it is an ordinary civil case or a criminal case, he has to shoulder it on his shoulders. The people above will not understand him because he is a gangster committing the crime.

Sure enough, County Magistrate Liu's second sentence was straight to the point and asked: "Captor Zhao, do you have any idea about this matter?"

Zhao Zi, the head catcher, had a bitter face, shook his head, and said: "Among the well-known figures in the world in Mizhou, there are some who are hostile to the imperial court, and the subordinates are familiar with it, but this Yan Rugang It is not among them, maybe this is a crime of passion. This subordinate suggests that we start with Liang Tong and the other four deceased’s own situation, and dig deeper, maybe we can find some clues from it.”

"This method is feasible." County magistrate Liu nodded while brushing his beard, and suddenly turned his head slightly to look at the county lieutenant Zhang Yan on the right: "Master Zhang, what do you think about this case?"

In the Dayan court, the county lieutenant of a county is equivalent to the director of the county public security bureau in Li Yu's previous life.This position belongs to one of the three giants in the county, and it is also the leader in charge of public security in the county.

County lieutenant Zhang Yan and county magistrate Liu have been officials in the same yamen for not a day or two, and they have already been prepared for the boss's understatement and secret pressure questioning.

What's more, his confidants in the yamen's arrest team also told him the specific situation, and he already had a plan in mind, and said: "Reporting to my lord, this case is a bit strange. I heard from my subordinates that the house Jia Huan and Liang Dutou They both died in the Liang Mansion, the warehouse official Yang Cang and Zhou Dianshi, the former died in the concubine's room, and the latter died halfway."

The head catcher Zhao Zi and County Magistrate Liu couldn't help turning their heads slightly when they heard the words, with a look of attentive listening on their faces.

"I heard from the shopkeeper of Zhu's sedan chair shop that Yang Canglin, Zhou Dianshi, and Jia Hufang rented sedan chairs from his sedan chair shop last night, and went to Liangdutou's house for a banquet." The county captain Zhang Yan added again One sentence.This sentence contains a huge amount of information.

County Magistrate Liu frowned when he heard this, on the surface he was calm, but in his heart he was secretly cursing that the three of them actually traveled in sedan chairs in private, which was clearly a way of enjoying themselves beyond the rules.

The sedan chair can only be enjoyed by the official of the imperial court with the palm print. Ordinary court officials are not qualified.

Of course, private sedan chair shops are opened for the private sector, but court officials have to abide by official rules after eating official meals, and cannot be treated as ordinary people.

Zhao Zi, the head catcher, also frowned when he heard that, from Zhang County Captain's words, he smelled an unusual smell.

There are many understandings that four officials gather at night.If you are friendly, it can be understood as colleagues visiting each other, and if you are malicious, it can also be understood as a secret collusion.

He had just been transferred to Shangye County, and when he encountered such a difficult case head-on, Zhao Zi, the head arrester, felt a little indignant.

But after thinking about it, if you can win such a difficult case, it will be a pretty good qualification for future promotion.

Thinking of this level, Zhao Zi, the head catcher, didn't intend to continue spending time with the two superiors with minor responsibilities. He got up and said, "Master Liu, Mr. Zhang, this case was caused by Yan Rugang, and it is probably correct. The subordinates think that the other party should be innocent. Go far, lead someone to search, maybe you can stop the other party."

In this regard, County Magistrate Liu and County Captain Zhang both smiled and encouraged.

They had heard about the Zhao family behind Zhao Zi. It was a powerful martial arts family, and it still had some influence in the entire Mizhou territory.

"This brother Zhao seems to be very sure." After Zhao Zi stayed away from the room, County Captain Zhang Yan said in a chatty tone.He didn't continue to say all the follow-up words just now, not to test Zhao Zi on purpose, but as a county lieutenant, he also has some concerns about this case.

This kind of homicide of yamen officials is sometimes very dangerous if it involves too much depth. If he accidentally steps on Liu County Magistrate's dark line, his position as a county lieutenant may be difficult to preserve.

"People from the Zhao family! If you come here to practice, if you don't have any skills, it will hurt your reputation if you spread it out, so just watch it. This brother Zhao may bring us a lot of surprises." County Magistrate Liu After taking a sip of tea, he narrowed his eyes, and the expression on his face was somewhat unpredictable to others.

……

Although Li Yu didn't witness the small gathering that took place in the county government office in the morning, he was not completely ignorant.

In the inn, Li Yu withdrew from the trial space, sat on a chair a little tired, drank tea and took a rest.

Li Yu couldn't bear to let go of the three-hour trial every day. After all, the opponent in the trial was a martial artist in the Qi Accumulation Realm and a master of swordsmanship. It could be called a tailor-made gold medal training partner.

"In the past few days, every time I practiced, I was able to improve my perception of swordsmanship, and I also earned 700 crit points by accident. Counting the previous accumulation, my current crit points are already 1190 points, which is an improvement. The basic crit multiplier or the new crit mode?" Li Yu touched his forehead and wiped off the sweat on his forehead, feeling a bit embarrassed for a while.

"However, this matter is not in a hurry. I don't know how the county government will react." Li Yu pondered, and the trial space would reward him with 50 crit points every time he had a new trial insight. In addition to doing tasks, there is a new way to earn crit points.

This new function of the crit system seems to be an additional supplement to the mission mode, so Li Yu's expectation for the crit point is not as anxious as before.

"Um?!"

Suddenly, Li Yu frowned slightly, and there was a somewhat unusual noise from the street downstairs, accompanied by severe scolding.

Li Yu got up and walked to the window of the inn in two or three steps, opened a small window, and looked towards the street downstairs, with a solemn expression on his face.

On the street downstairs, among the crowded crowd, there was a group of people dressed as yamen police officers, who were posting wanted papers. The fierce portrait of the middle-aged Jianghu people on it was so familiar that it was unbelievably familiar. just looks.

"This butcher ghost is really not an ordinary headhunter. This city search operation is really a bit vigorous!" Li Yu gently touched his nose with the middle finger of his right hand, and a trace of anticipation could not help appearing in his eyes.

The speed at which the other party took action was much faster than he expected.
