At this time, not only Wang Can's face changed greatly, but Ma Chao and Ma Xiu were also in a bad mood.

The situation has become complicated.

Hou Fang's death and the death of Ma Teng's family were too unexpected for Wang Can. For Ma Chao and Ma Xiu, after Wang Can knew about this incident, they were also in danger.

Ma Xiu stared at Wang Can and said, "Big brother, Hou Fang's matter has been exposed, we can't get out for the time being, so let's hide first." ”

Ma Chao shook his head and said, "Wait a minute, if Wang Can enters the city directly, we will take the opportunity to leave the city." ”

They were still standing in the crowd and did not get together, so they did not attract anyone's attention.

As soon as Wang Can returned to Xinping County, he encountered a mess of things, and he was a little irritable.

Hou Fang is a typical wall grass, such a person is not liked by any monarch, and he will not be reused. Hou Fang's life and death, Wang Can did not care. As for Ma Teng's family, Wang Can doesn't care, Ma Teng is dead, Ma Chao and Ma Xiu are on the run, what use can a group of women and children have?

However, Wang Can's heart was full of doubts, thinking about who killed Hou Fang and Ma Teng's family. It stands to reason that Hou Fang and Ma Teng's family members are on opposite sides and should not be killed together.

All these things make Wang Can's head as big as an ox.

Wang Can looked at the soldiers who reported the news and asked, "When were Hou Fang and Ma Teng's family killed?" ”

The soldier replied: "Back to the King of Shu, the villain also saw the county commander last night, and the county magistrate was in good condition at that time, and there was nothing unusual. This morning, the villain received a notice to invite the county commander to come to the city gate to greet the king of Shu, but found that the county magistrate died in the east courtyard, and it should have been last night. ”

After Wang Can listened, he waved his hand and asked the soldiers to retreat.

He turned around and ordered, "Zilong, you go and settle the army, so that the army can be on standby at any time." ”

"No!"

Zhao Yun nodded and agreed, and then rode out of the city to settle the 60,000 army outside the city.

Wang Can swept his eyes and ordered: "We will rush to the county government immediately to find out the specific reason." He patted the horse's back lightly, ready to lead people to the county government.

Ma Chao and Ma Xiu stood in the crowd, and the two of them were overjoyed when they saw Wang Can preparing to take people into the city.

As long as Wang Can did not close the city gates, they could take the opportunity to leave.

The opportunity is in front of us.

At this point, everyone was excited.

Not long ago, they were kept in the city, unable to get out; Now, Wang Can didn't let the soldiers close the city gates, and they could just take the opportunity to leave. Ma Chao and Ma Xiu looked at each other, then nodded to the soldiers scattered around, signaling them to prepare to leave. Matthew stared at Wang Can, his eyes flashing with a cold murderous intent.

In the face of this great hatred, Matthew wanted to rush to kill Wang Can. However, Wang Can has always been on guard around him, and soldiers are ready to protect Wang Can all the time.

Just as Wang Can was about to lead his troops into the city, Fa Zheng's voice came: "Lord, slow down!" ”

Wang Can grabbed the reins of the horse and asked, "Xiaozhi, what's the matter?" ”

Fa Zheng admonished: "The Lord, Hou Fang and Ma Teng's family members were killed, it is no accident. Something big happened in the city, and the city gates had just been opened, and no one had left yet, and the criminals had not had time to leave Tan Binh County. Therefore, it is time to impose martial law immediately, close the gates of the city, and search for the criminals. It is recommended that the city gates be closed for the time being, and that the gates be opened again after the cause has been ascertained. ”

Guo Jia also said: "Lord, filial piety is reasonable. ”

Wang Can looked at Lu Meng and ordered, "Ameng, you are responsible for this matter. Command the soldiers to be stationed at the gates of the city, forbid everyone to leave, and open the gates until the cause has been ascertained. ”

"No!"

After receiving the order, Lü Meng ordered the soldiers to be stationed at the city gates and forbid anyone to leave.

Then, he returned to Wang Can's side.

Waiting for Lu Meng to close the city gate, Wang Can led people to the county government.

Ma Chao and Ma Xiu hid in the crowd, and when they saw the city gate closed, they were extremely disappointed. They went from loss to surprise, and now from surprise to disappointment, and the mood can be imagined.

Ma Chao sighed and said, "Let's go, let's retreat." ”

The group left quietly and went into hiding.

After Wang Can took Fa Zheng, Guo Jia, Dian Wei, Lu Meng and others into the county government, he went directly to the backyard to check the cause of death of Hou Fang and Ma Teng's family. Among the dead, two of them were Hou Fang's staff, and one of Ma Teng's women actually committed suicide, while the rest were mostly killed with their mouths covered, and one was killed in the bathtub.

Such a complicated situation made Wang Can feel a headache.

After Wang Can finished reading it, he took everyone back to the hall.

Everyone sat down, Wang Can looked at the rest of the people and said; "You followed me through the situation of all the deceased, and you all expressed your opinions, and everyone discussed and discussed."

In the hall, everyone looked solemn.

Seeing that no one spoke, Fa Zheng took the lead and said, "My lord, Hou Fang and the two staff members under his command were all killed in Beiyuan. And Ma Teng's family members were all killed in the East Courtyard. Among them, there is a woman who died naked in the bathtub, and another woman committed suicide, which is very weird and complicated. After a pause, Fa Zheng said again: "I think that someone killed the woman in the bath bucket first, then killed Hou Fang and his staff, and finally killed Ma Teng's family. ”

Wang Can asked, "Filial piety, what is the basis?" ”

Fa Zheng shook his head and said; "My lord, the lowly position is just speculation, and it is difficult to make a conclusion."

Wang Can looked at Guo Jia and asked, "Fengxiao, what do you have in mind?" ”

Guo Jia said: "Lord, it is still so-so for you to let the lowly lead the troops to fight, but analyzing the murder case, the lowly position is really not good. Xiaozhi has already suggested that the lord close the city gate, and there is enough time to inquire, so there is no need to worry. ”

Wang Can rolled his eyes and was speechless.

Dian Man said with a grin: "Lord, the last general will also talk about it." The last general looked at the situation of all the deceased and found that except for the person in Ma Yunlu's room, who committed suicide, the rest of the people were killed. ”

At this point, the pawn came to an abrupt end.

Wang Can looked at Dian Man, but Dian Man waved his hand and said, "Lord, the last general is finished." ”

Dian Wei saw his son's nonsense, and glared at Dian Man fiercely.

Suddenly, Lu Meng, who had not spoken, said: "Lord, the last general thinks of a strange place. ”

Wang Can immediately asked, "What's weird?" ”

Lu Meng said slowly: "The last general led his troops to capture Huaili and captured Ma Teng's wife and concubine, as well as Ma Teng's daughter Ma Yunlu. But the only person who died in the county government was Ma Teng's wife and concubine, and Ma Yunlu disappeared out of thin air, which is very strange. Not only that, when Ma Yunlu disappeared, Hou Fang and two staff members were also killed, could it be that Ma Yunlu killed everyone and then fled? ”

After a pause, Lu Meng said: "Ma Yunlu's martial arts are good, and he has this ability. ”

After Wang Can heard this, he fell into deep thought.

This statement is reasonable, but it is a bit far-fetched.

After Guo Jia listened to Lu Meng's words, his eyes suddenly lit up, and a happy expression appeared on his thin cheeks, and he said loudly: "Lord, I think of who killed everyone. ”

Fa Zheng also said: "My lord, I have also thought of humiliation. ”

Wang Can looked at the two of them with interest and said, "Okay, you all talk about it." ”

Guo Jia and Fa Zheng looked at each other and said in unison: "Ma Chao! ”

After Wang Can heard this, he thought about it carefully, and gradually figured it out, and said slowly: "What you mean is that Ma Chao and Ma Xiu infiltrated Xinping County, and then took the opportunity to sneak into the county government to rescue Ma Yunlu, and then kill Hou Fang and his staff. Speaking of which, Wang Can paused and continued; As for Ma Teng's wife and concubine, it should be that the two of them put an end to future troubles, so they didn't do anything and killed everyone. ”

Guo Jia and Fa Zheng nodded in agreement.

Wang Can took a deep breath and said with a smile: "In this way, Ma Chao and Ma Xiu are still in Xinping County. Well, we were worried that we couldn't find Ma Chao and Ma Xiu, but we didn't expect them to bump into each other by themselves. ”

Wang Can was not angry but happy, with a happy face.

As long as you catch Ma Chao and Ma Xiu, you can cut the grass and eradicate the roots.
