After the city gate was opened, Zhang Yubo, who joined the army of Jiangning Zuo Sikou, personally led the cavalry to the mouth of the Jinchuan River, and Yang Pu then led the cavalry of the inspection envoy to arrive. After a cursory inspection of the scene, the murderer withdrew to the poplar forest in the southwest corner and paid attention to the hidden traces, the poplar forest used to be a village, and then did not enter the village, there was a carriage and horse road leading directly to the official road of Donghua Gate, until the official road of Donghua Gate can still find some clues, but traced to the outside of Donghua Gate, what traces disappeared.

Thirty-six cold corpses lay on the ridges, covered with white cloths, and their families sat on the ground in mournful sorrow, sobbing and wailing. Lin Tie asked Qian Xiaowu to take people to Quyang Town, Moling County to buy coffins, these people lying on the ground are men and women, old and young, the moment they arrived at the mouth of the Jinchuan River, they were full of joy, he couldn't let people simply take straw mats and wrap the dead to bury.

The more despicable human life is, the more Lin Jian feels the preciousness of human life, he sits among the ridges, sits between the heads of this row of corpses, and puts the waist knife across his chest.

"The murderer's methods are very neat, and it is difficult to find ......" Zhang Yubo also disregarded his image and sat down beside Lin Lian.

Lin Lian's eyes looked at the long white clouds in the distance, and after a while, he said: "It is impossible to know for sure who was targeted by last night's incident, it is indeed difficult to investigate, if it is aimed at Lord Gu, I am afraid that the Jiangning Mansion Soldiers and Horses Division will not be able to interfere." ”

Zhang Yubo nodded, he examined the scene and the wounds of the deceased, last night's murderer was by no means an ordinary character, he saw Yang Pu coming from a distance, he couldn't be too imageless, so he stood up with Lin Lian.

"Lord Zhang, Lord Lin......" Yang Pu gave gifts to Zhang Yubo and Lin Lian. Zhang Yubo is the Zuo Sikou of the seventh grade to join the army, Yang Pu is only the military position of the eighth grade, so he naturally wants to salute Zhang Yubo, the Dayue Dynasty has always suppressed martial arts and Chongwen, and the senior military attache is better, and the low-level military attache has never been taken seriously, and he should give a salute to Lin Bin, the prison officer of the Jiupin Division.

However, the relationship between Yang Pu and Gu Wuchen was extraordinary, and Zhang Yubo didn't dare to hold it up in front of him, so he returned the salute with Lin Lian: "Yang Dianwei is polite." ”

"After inspecting the scene, until there is further evidence, this case can only be entrusted to Lord Zhang for a thorough investigation," Yang Pu said, "I will go back and report the case to Lord Gu first, do you want Lord Lin to enter the city with me?" ”

"I'll stay here for the time being to clean up the aftermath," Lin Jian said, "If Lord Gu is summoned, send a horse out of the city to inform me." ”

Lin Jian knew that Yang Pu also suspected that the murderer's atrocities yesterday were aimed at Gu Wuchen, so he hurried back to ask Gu Wuchen for instructions, before Gu Wuchen made a decision, the jurisdiction of yesterday's murder case belonged to the Jiangning Mansion Soldiers and Horses. Whether it is Zhang Yubo or Yang Pu, at least in the investigation of the murder, Lin Jian trusts them, but Zhang Yubo and Yang Pu can't find any clues for the time being, which doesn't mean that Lin Jian is helpless.

When the murderers attacked the camp last night, there were three people hiding in the poplar forest to command all this, Cao Ziang and Wu Qi led people to take them down quietly, and Lin Jian had already asked the big loach master Ge Cunxin and the little loach master Ge Cunxiong to hide them on the boat and move them elsewhere; In addition, Wu Qi led people to follow the murderer last night, and he has not yet come back to report, maybe he has found out the whereabouts of those people.

A sneer appeared at the corner of Lin Lian's mouth: Yesterday, the murderers attacked the camp with a careful plan and quick actions, but these murderers never thought that Cao Ziang, Wu Qi, Ge Cunxin, Ge Cunxiong and others hid him among these homeless people.

Cao Ziang, Wu Qi, Ge Cunxin, Ge Cunxiong and others are not able to see the light, not only can they not let those murderers and enemies who committed atrocities know their existence, but they also can't let Zhang Yubo, Yang Pu, and Gu Wuchen know their existence, Zhang Yubo and Yang Pu can't find any clues, and Lin Jian is only silent.

Yang Pu left first, and did not go to Prison Island a mile away by water to meet his son, so he rushed back to the city to tell Gu Wuchen about the matter; Zhang Yubo left the grievances of Jiangning Mansion, and if such a major homicide occurred in a suburban county, he also had to report it to Yin Wang Xueshan of Jiangning Mansion, and at this time he could not confirm whether the case would eventually fall under the jurisdiction of Jiangning Mansion or that it would be taken over by the Inspectorate.

After Yang Pu and Zhang Yubo left, the Moling County Lieutenant arrived late, and Lin Jian was too lazy to socialize, saying that things were busy on Prison Island, so Lin Jingzhong was pushed out, and he and Zhou Pu left the Jinchuan River estuary by boat and returned to Jinchuan Prison Island.

The boat arrived at Jinchuan Island, and Lin Jian arranged for the boatman on this boat to be from Changshan Island, so that the guards and soldiers went ashore, and he and Zhou Pu took a boat around to the northwest corner of Jinchuan Prison Island. There is a dense forest here, some shrubs have grown into the river, and they have been propped into the depths, and there is a boat hidden in it, Cao Ziang and Ge Cunxin and Ge Cunxiong brothers hid in the cabin, and only then did they poke their heads out and welcome Lin Jian and Zhou Pu in.

The three men in the corner of the cabin tied up Wuhuada, they were all scarred, it seemed that Cao Ziang had interrogated them, and at this time they had rag socks stuffed in their mouths to prevent them from shouting and screaming. They saw Lin Tie walk in, the young man who was a little younger, about thirty-one and twelve, showed a look of surprise and panic in his eyes, they didn't know who Cao Ziang and the others who caught them were, but when they saw Lin Tie walk in, they knew that Cao Ziang and the others were originally Lin Tie's people. They thought they had seen through the roots of Lin Tie and the Jiyun Society, so they saw the time to plan for yesterday's attack on the camp, where did they think that Lin Tie still had the ability to fight back, and even catch them with his backhand, how could this make them not surprised and frightened?

"It seems that you are the leader!" Lin Jian missed the young man in the middle, took out the rag socks from the mouth of the man with the scar on the left side of his face, held it in his hand, and asked, "Who is so ruthless to deal with me?" ”

"Phew, which green onion are you thinking of?" The scar-faced man pouted and wanted to spit on Lin Lian's face, Lin Lian punched him in the chin, and when the tip of his tongue reached his lips to spit, his upper and lower teeth collided, only biting the tip of his tongue with blood, and he couldn't spit the spit in his mouth on Lin Lian's face.

"Are you really hard-mouthed, thinking I can't kill?" Lin Jian stared at the scar-faced man with a gloomy face, and said in a cold voice, "There are thirty-six innocent corpses lying on the opposite shore, and you actually think that I won't kill you?" Lin Tie grabbed the man's hair, pulled out the knife and wiped it on his neck, and before pulling out the knife, he blocked the rag socks in his hand on the artery that had been cut to prevent the knife from being pulled out and blood splattered everywhere.

The other two never expected that Lin Jian would draw a knife and kill people after just saying two words when he walked in, and the killing method was still so clean and neat, even the man with the scar didn't expect that he would die like this, and he only heard the sound of blood spraying onto the rag socks in his ears, and saw that a large stream of blood was still steaming and soaked the rag socks in an instant.

Lin Jian waited for the scarlet face man's carotid artery blood to stop spurting, then let go of his hand and threw the corpse into the corner, throwing aside the blood-soaked rag socks, then turned sideways and pulled out the white cloth socks in the mouth of the young man, his hands and wrists were soaked with blood, he took the socks unhurriedly wiped the blood on his hands, and said to the young man: "It's time for you to talk to me......"

"Lin... Forest... Forest... Lord Lin ...... "This young man's tongue was knotted, and the word "Lord Lin" was said for a long time, but then he couldn't say half a word, Lin Lian smelled a smell of urine, and looked down, this kid's crotch was already wet.

Lin Jian threw aside the cloth socks that wiped his hands, walked to the cabin, and threw the interrogation to Zhou Pu and Cao Ziang, he squatted on the bow of the boat, and reached into the water to wash the blood stains on his wrists.

After a while, Cao Ziang, Zhou Pu, and the Ge brothers came out and said, "Last night, it was the swordsman raised by the Qu family in Quyang Town......

"Quyang Qu family?" Lin Jian glanced up at Cao Ziang suspiciously.

Jiangning City gathers 150,000 households, the market economy is prosperous, the dependence on the supply of materials outside has reached an unimaginable height, only one of the rice grains needs to be imported from other places every year as much as 400 million catties, and other materials are also astronomical, which also promotes the rapid rise of the surrounding towns, in addition to the ten counties in the suburbs, but also forms twenty-four satellite market towns with a degree of prosperity and even far beyond the ordinary county seat, Quyang Town is one of them, Qujia is a famous wealthy family in Quyang Town, Even more than seventy percent of the land rent collection rights on both sides of the Jinchuan River are in the hands of the rent collection stacks controlled by the Qu family, of course, including the land where Lin Jian will requisition the stack wharf, in addition, whether it is Lin Jian or Jiyun Society, there is no intersection with the Qu family, maybe Lin Mengde has purchased a large number of materials from Quyang Town, and many of them are from the hands of the Qu family. With such a little grudge, the Qu family is so evil, doesn't the Qu family really understand that Gu Wuchen is standing behind Jiyun Club or Jinchuan Prison Island?

"That kid is Qu Wuyang's only son, and he sent Qu Wuyang to increase his experience yesterday...... He didn't know why the Qu family wanted to do such a vicious attack on us, and a bite of the Jiyun Society's foothold in the estuary would encroach on their Qu family's interests in this area, so he brought someone over to teach us a lesson! Cao Ziang said.

"The lesson, in their mouths, this lesson is really an understatement." Lin Jian had indescribable grief and indignation.

"What to do with him? He was willing to pay 20,000 taels of silver for his life! Cao Ziang asked, "Qu Wuyang is probably willing to give 20,000 taels of silver for this only son." ”

"Twenty thousand taels of silver, that's a lot," Lin Jian squatted on the bow of the boat, turned his head to look at Cao Ziang, Zhou Pu, Ge Cunxin, and Ge Cunxiong who were standing behind him, and said, "If someone else spends 20,000 taels of silver to buy your head from me, what do you want me to do?" ”

Ge Cunxiong wanted to say that the government's bounty bonus for his two brothers was only two hundred taels of silver to adjust the atmosphere, but seeing that the surface on Lin Lian's face was particularly serious, he could also feel his mood, so he stopped telling jokes casually.

Lin Jian said: "There are thirty-six corpses lying on the shore, old and young, men and women, they are all recruited by me to work, I want to give them an explanation - kill, kill cleanly, and then go to find out who is standing behind the Qu family?" ”
