After traveling through time, I took command and led the troops to conquer the mountains and rivers.

Chapter 143 Investigation
Lin Gongxun's eyes were so bright that they made Yu Jia feel very flustered.

She made a strange "hmm" sound, then turned around and looked at the large army of Poseidon parading in front of her.

"Where do you think they will end?"

There was an interruption in the morning, and Li Daxun did not explain the final destination of Poseidon.

"We should go to the beach for a walk and then return to the ancestral hall where the statues are enshrined!"

"Do you want to go to the beach and watch the ceremony?"

Lin Gongxun put the kit into his arms and patted it twice like a treasure.

"Well, it's okay not to go!"

Suddenly, there was a commotion in the front ranks, and the people dispersed with shouts.

The patrolling government officials approached the statue, but were quickly rushed to the outside.

Yu Jia and Lin Gongxun hurried towards the statue.

There were too many people around the statue and it was impossible to get close.

Looking from a distance, I saw that the statue was no longer majestic and fell to the ground. It was unclear what the situation was.

After half a moment, when the people dispersed, Yu Jia and the other two followed the government officials and approached the statue.

At this moment, the statue fell to pieces and fell to the ground. There was blood flowing out of the eyes, and the source of this blood turned out to be a corpse placed in the statue.

It's just that the corpse has rotted and exudes a disgusting stench.

The yamen servant with a shallow stomach vomited it out on the spot.

The "Maokeng Beef Buns" project has been going on. No matter how adaptable Yu Jia is, she still can't help but feel nauseous when she sees the scene in front of her.

Someone from the Dudu Mansion quickly sealed off the scene and took the body back to the Dudu Yamen.

In the government office, Wu Zuo was carefully conducting an autopsy, and Li Daxun said with a guilty look on his face.

"Your Majesty, you'd better go back to your house first. If there is any situation, the official will report to you in time!"

Li Yanzhao didn't speak, he watched Wu Zuo's every move.

"Master Li, what do you mean by this happening?"

What does it mean?
Li Daxun's face was pale, his body was shaky, and his limbs were numb.

There has never been such a mistake during his tenure.

The people would think that this was God's punishment for his lax governance and a divine punishment.

It was him who was incompetent as the governor.

Tomorrow, the Poseidon Guild, organized by the Chamber of Commerce, will definitely criticize him and even hold a demonstration.

Li Daxun closed his eyes in despair when he thought of such a scene.

"God's punishment for me!"

"Master Li also thinks it's a divine punishment?"

Li Yanzhao looked at Zuo Zuo who still had a serious look on his face and whispered.

"Mr. Li, everything depends on people, it's better to find out the truth first!"

After the autopsy conducted by the Dudu County Government Office, the death time of this body was approximately three days ago.

Although the weather in the Weijiang River has been hot these days, it should not have been at this level of decay. It should have been that the body was contaminated with drugs that accelerated decay before it was stuffed into the Poseidon Statue.

The residue of medicine left on the corpse is evidence.

"Why let the body decompose so quickly?"

Lin Gongxun, who had been silent all this time, frowned.

Three days ago, it was when they were preparing to set off.

The murderer did not hide his intention of using drugs to decompose the body in advance, and he was not afraid of them finding out.

If this is the case, what on earth did the murderer want to do?
Pull Lee Dae-hun out of office?

Li Yanzhao saw that Li Daxun's face was really ugly, so he asked him to go back to the Governor's Mansion first.

Then, he and Lin Gongxun entered the government office.

"Contribution, what do you think about this?"

"Your Majesty, I think this matter is directed at us!" Lin Gongxun thought for a moment and came to a conclusion.

Li Yanzhao did not deny it. Thinking of today's abnormality, it was indeed directed at him.

The people who usually look after the Poseidon Statue and those who participated in the sacrifices have been detained and are being interrogated by the county government.

"Well, let's see what happens tomorrow!"

Because the incident happened suddenly and A-yan was feeling unwell, she did not go to the yard to inquire about the situation at night.

The next day, Li Daxun presided over the trial, Li Yanzhao sat aside, and Lin Gongxun stood beside him.

Li Daxun knocked on the gavel tree, "Who is here?"

The government servant on the side waved the wooden stick in his hand and shouted "Mighty"!
"Lord Governor, this is a small injustice!"

The person in the hall who complained about the injustice was the old man who was in charge of divination that day, and he was respectfully called Mr. Qian.

He explained everything he did that day and had no chance to get close to the statue of Poseidon. After the divination, he went home early to rest because his old age could not bear it.

It's reasonable and nothing unusual.

The other two are the ones who guard the statues in the temple and stop the team that welcomes the gods.

The person in charge of the ancestral hall was a man in his early thirties named Zhang Daqing. He was trembling and kneeling on the ground.

"Lord Governor, on weekdays we only check the statues in the ancestral hall to see if they are free of moths and clean the dust. We really don't do anything else!"

"I have an old man and a young man, and I will never do such a fatal business!"

As he spoke, he actually started crying.

Li Daxun sternly stopped him, "How is it appropriate to cry loudly in court?"

Zhang Daqing was so frightened that he kept silent, but his whole body was shaking. He must have been frightened to the extreme.

"What about you? Old Man Yang, your clan has never won in the past. Why did you win this year so uncharacteristically?"

Old Man Yang was respectful and unfazed at all. He raised his hands and bowed.

"Your Majesty, your words are wrong. Our clan has never had any luck in the past years. The few defeats do not mean that we will not be able to make a comeback in the future."

"The villain leads the boys in the clan to intensify training and never rest for a moment, so that they can achieve something."

This is going too far, Li Daxun's brows were full of impatience.

"What about you? What did you do that day?"

Old Man Yang's attitude was still respectful, "The villain has been watching the situation in the team. He is also accompanied by several team leaders such as Zhang, Liu, and Yan."

Yesterday we found relevant witnesses based on their confessions, and it was indeed what they said.

Seeing the "what can you do to me" look on Old Man Yang's face made Li Daxun itchy with hatred.

After yesterday's parade ended hastily, the old man Yang joined the Chamber of Commerce to ask for an explanation.

If the government officials had not imprisoned him for interrogation on the grounds that he was suspected, he might have launched an attack yesterday.

Li Daxun looked at Li Yanzhao and saw Li Yanzhao's eyes glancing back and forth between the few people.

"The author has submitted the time and cause of death of the deceased. This person died of poisoning three days ago."

"Where were you three days ago? Is there any witness?"

"Sir, the younger one is at the villain's father-in-law's house. My father-in-law's family and neighbors can testify!"

Zhang Daqing said first.

"The villain is preparing for today's divination in the ancestral hall. There are children from the clan and the Chamber of Commerce as witnesses!"

Mr. Qian also spoke respectfully.

Only old man Yang has been unable to tell where he is and whether he has any witnesses.

At this time, there seemed to be a struggle in Old Yang's eyes. Seeing his expression, Lin Gongxun asked.

"May I ask Mr. Yang, where were you three days ago?"

Old Man Yang pondered for a moment, kept silent, and even closed his eyes, letting him do whatever he wanted.

Li Daxun became angry and immediately sent Old Yang to prison.
