Five days later, Xia Zhu, who got the news, rushed back to Bianliang from Bazhou in a hurry, and almost fainted when he learned the specific situation; Xia Zhu hurriedly summoned Wen Yanbo, the governor of Kaifeng Prefecture, to inquire, but did not get any valuable news, and the angry Xia Zhu scolded Wen Yanbo for being incompetent.

Wen Yanbo is also aggrieved, Quan knows that Kaifeng Mansion has never had many big cases like this year in the past two years, and one is more bizarre than the other, one is bigger than the other, and what is even more strange is that most of them are related to this privy deputy envoy, there are always tragic cases in his house, and there are dozens of people who die.

In the face of Xia Zhu's scolding, Wen Yanbo could only bear it, and only after Xia Zhu vented his anger did he explain the progress of the case to Xia Zhu one by one.

Where did Xia Zhu have the heart to listen to him, the old house in Sock Lane was a mess, although it had been cleaned up, but the dried blood stains splattered everywhere showed that there had been a life-and-death fight here that night; None of the nearly sixty people in the nursing home survived, and nearly twenty people including Yan San also died in the house, and there was a sense of forest in the whole house all day long, not to mention the surviving servants, even Xia Zhu himself did not dare to live in the old mansion.

This is not what annoys Xia Zhu, what Xia Zhu is most angry about is that Xia Siling didn't know where to go, and asked the surviving servants, they said that Xia Siling was taken away by a group of people in black, and they couldn't ask why they came when they asked again.

Rumors gradually spread on the street, saying that Xia Siling, a woman from the Xia family, was taken away by bandits as a lady of the village, Xia Zhu was even more ashamed when she heard these rumors, if Xia Siling died, it would be fine, but she didn't see anyone dead or dead, and the dignified Song Dynasty's deputy maid was taken away by bandits to be humiliated, and her old face had nowhere to stay.

On the surface, all the officials in the court expressed comfort, but there were not many people who gloated in private, Xia Zhu was not very kind on weekdays, and his notoriety was unforgiving, which made some officials slander, so although these people seemed to be concerned about the progress of the case, the excitement of schadenfreude flashing in their eyes could not be concealed.

Xia Zhu couldn't face it, so he chose to take leave to recuperate, Zhao Zhen also sympathized with Xia Zhu's experience, and Enzhu didn't say anything about it, but also personally ordered a strict investigation of the murderer and gave Deputy Envoy Xia an explanation.

Xia Zhu temporarily moved to live in the courtyard of the farm outside the city, and he didn't want to live outside the city, but the three courtyards in Bianliang City seemed to be restless, and the courtyard on Junyiqiao Street only hanged the maid's small button a few months ago, it is reported that the sound of ghosts crying is often heard at night, although Xia Zhu does not believe it, he can't experience it, Yuzhang Tower is also the place where the tragedy occurred, where more than 20 people died, Xia Zhu is naturally more impossible to live, the old mansion is even more outrageous, eighty or ninety people died at once, and the whole house is about to become a haunted house, Not to mention living people, it is cold hairs that stand on end when you go in and walk in broad daylight.

Xia Zhu wanted to cry without tears, in just a few months, how did he end up at this point, his nephew died, his daughter was missing, and he didn't dare to live in the house, what kind of sin did he create? Is there really a ghost haunting us? I have killed a lot of people before, and the ghosts of these people have haunted me and imposed one curse of bad luck on myself after another?

After calming down, Xia Zhu didn't believe in this evil, he began to slowly clean up the clues, he ordered Wen Yanbo to send all the files of the Kaifeng Mansion to investigate the case, and slowly look for clues from it, and at the same time called the surviving servants and maidservants and maids and daughters-in-law who survived that night to inquire one by one.

The servants said that the torrential rain poured down that evening, and everyone packed up and went back to their rooms after dinner, but suddenly there was a sound of fighting outside, according to the coachman Xiao Dengzi, he had the courage to sneak to see, but saw the newly invited head of the courtyard in the front yard, Yan San, with a group of people and the courtyard led by Zhang Heizi in the house; Xiao Dengzi thought it was a trick to learn martial arts, but when he saw Yan San's men kill several people in a row, Xiao Dengzi was so frightened that he almost peed his pants.

Xia Zhu was taken aback and asked, "Then why don't you go out and report to the official quickly?" ”

Xiao Deng Zi said: "The little one thinks so too, but as soon as he arrived at the door, he saw three people holding the door with knives menacingly, and the villain knew that he would not be able to get out, so he could only find a place to hide." ”

Xia Zhu nodded, waved away Xiao Dengzi, and called the two concubines in the house that night to interrogate, the two concubines sobbed and cried as soon as they mentioned the situation that night.

Cuifang, the concubine in the eighth room, sobbed and said: "After the fight that night, the concubine wanted to run away from the door, but the courtyard outside the second entrance is the place of fighting, and there will definitely be danger when she goes out, so she asked the seventh sister what to do, and the seventh sister said that it is better to hide in the house, Xu is the two gangs turned their faces in order to compete for the favor of the master, and they will not necessarily hurt us." But who would have expected that the group of people from the outer house would suddenly break into the inner house and ...... And then ...... Woooooooo ”

Xia Zhu's heart was cold, knowing that the bodies of these two concubines must have been polluted by Yan San's gang, these two people were terrible, and they were sent away casually in a few days, but now they still need to coax them to explain the situation, so they couldn't help but comfort a few words in their hearts at the moment, and asked, "What happened?" ”

"Later...... Later...... "That little concubine Cui Fangwu kept sobbing on herself."

Xia Zhu shouted: "Say it quickly, what are you doing?" ”

Cui Fang was startled, and hurriedly said: "Later, another group of people came, and after they entered the room, they fought with Yan San's men, there were many of them, and Yan San's men were few, and in the end they were all killed." ”

Xia Zhu frowned and said, "Have you seen their looks clearly?" What does the leader look like? Isn't he a handsome young man who is white and clean? ”

The two concubines shook their heads and said, "It doesn't seem to be so, we were so scared at the time, it was dark at that time, and we didn't see it clearly at all." ”

Xia Zhu waved his hand and said, "You guys go down and rest." ”

Cui Fangwu refused to leave, and said: "Master, the concubine's savings in the past few years have been robbed by them, and the master wants to call the shots for us." ”

Xia Zhu raised his eyebrows and shouted angrily: "Get out!" ”

Xia Zhu summoned the people around Xia Siling to inquire again, and the situation that night gradually became clearer.

First of all, it is certain that Yan San and the others must have fallen out with Zhang Heizi and others that day, judging from the behavior of Yan San's subordinates, Yan San must have done nothing and killed Zhang Heizi and others endlessly, and then felt that the matter could not be over, so he had the idea of robbery and rape. The idea of lewdness, he can be regarded as luring the wolf into the house, knowing that this group of people is outlaws, but in order to repay the recovery, he actually lifted a stone and shot himself in the foot.

Secondly, there were a total of three groups of people fighting that night, in addition to Yan San and Zhang Heizi and others, there was also a group of mysterious black-clothed people who entered the house, and finally killed Yan San and others; Judging from the damage on the iron gate in the backyard, it is obvious that someone has inserted a sharp weapon in the iron door as a step over. wall into the house; Although there are no traces on the outer wall, it is enough to prove that a thick branch has broken off from the large tree against the wall.

The third is that this group of people seems to have come prepared, and according to the people around Xia Siling, Xia Siling seems to have followed this group of people in the end, although everyone was tied up and thrown in the wing, their mouths were blocked but their ears could be heard, and they vaguely felt that Xia Siling obediently followed the masked people without a trace of resistance.

The fourth point is the autopsy conclusion provided by Kaifeng Mansion, Yan San's body has another huge wound on the lower abdomen, just like the face of the person who died in Yuzhang Tower was beaten with iron sand all over his face, Yan San's stomach is also full of holes and a large amount of iron sand has been punched, no need to ask if this is done by firearms again.

Xia Zhu's scalp was numb, and he had already determined that Su Jin had done what happened in Yuzhang Tower, of course, it was not based on firearms, but on the actions of rescuing the woman named Rou Niang; And this time, the firearm wound is exactly the same as the last time, which can only show one point, this group of black-clothed people and the culprit of the Yuzhanglou murder case are the same group, and it can only be done by Su Jin.

This kind of speculation also happens to explain why Xia Siling followed the group of men in black without resistance.

Xia Zhu didn't know whether to hate Su Jin or thank Su Jin, it was obvious that Yan San and his gang had the upper hand that night, Zhang Heizi and others all died at the hands of Yan San, and Yan San had already brought people into the inner house; And Yan San's body was found in Xia Siling's upstairs boudoir, which shows that Yan San wanted to have bad intentions towards Xia Siling.

If it weren't for the group of people who came later, Xia Siling would have been unable to escape being defiled; From this point of view, Xia Zhu is a little grateful; But Su Jin was so bold that he repeatedly invaded his house, the last time he somehow didn't take Xia Siling away, this time he simply swept away the money with people, and completely ignored himself.

Xia Zhu paced in the room with a gloomy face, now that his daughter ran away with Su Jin, he had no evidence to prove that Su Jin took him away, although he knew that it was him, but after all, it was all speculation, and no one could see Su Jin's face clearly; Unless Xia Siling is found in the Su Mansion, this dumb man will continue to swallow his stomach.

And there is still one of the most urgent things to be done at the moment, that is, after Yan San's death, his appearance was recognized by the Arrest Department of the Criminal Department, which is the news he just got today.

Yan San's previous background was a bandit, and in recent years, he has done a lot of flower picking and murder cases on the rivers and lakes, and the officials in various places are looking for it, but he died in his own house, and there are servants to prove that he is the nursing home he invited, this matter is really tricky.

After thinking about it, Xia Zhu decided to secretly investigate Xia Siling's matter first, and concentrate on clearing up Yan San's matter first, this matter is not difficult, only the servant retracted his confession and said that he didn't see it clearly that night, Yan San and his gang were not their own nursing home at all, and that night they entered the house to commit a crime, which was noticed by Zhang Heizi and others in their own nursing home, so it caused a vicious fight.

Although Xia Zhu was resentful in his heart, after sorting out his thoughts, Xia Zhu also regained his composure, and the whole thing was not all bad news, and there was something that made Xia Zhu happy, that is, Xia Siling was still alive nine times out of ten, although it was not good, but after all, it was his daughter, he could know where she was, and she was still alive and well, and she could be regarded as letting go of a heart.
