Yunzhong County is located in the northwest of Shuozhou City, two hundred miles away from Shuozhou City. It was dusk when the three arrived at Yunzhong County Office. Qiu Wencai, the magistrate of Yunzhong County, learned that Chincha Di Renjie was coming to Yunzhong County early. So I greeted him on the official road, waited for a whole afternoon, and finally the three of Di Renjie arrived!
"Dare to ask the respected driver, but the imperial commissioner Di Ge Lao?" Qiu Wencai asked Di Renjie in a salute!
Di Renjie got off his horse and said, "I am Di Renjie!"
Qiu Wencai was taken aback, and hurriedly led people to kneel down and kowtow, "Qiu Wencai, the magistrate of the low-ranking Yunzhong county magistrate, led the co-government officials to kowtow to the imperial commissioner!"
Di Renjie stretched out his hand to pick up Qiu Wencai, smiled and said: "Country Order Qiu does not need to be courteous, this pavilion is here for investigating the case, and there is no need to greet you with imperial courtesy!"
Qiu Wencai bowed to thank you, and led Di Renjie and the three people to Yunzhong County Office!
Qiu Wencai said: "The pavilion has come all the way, please rest at the county office today, right?"
Di Renjie waved his hand and said: "County Qiu, the situation is urgent and cannot be tolerated. To prevent the situation from changing, please ask the county magistrate Qiu to call the person who provided the clues quickly, and the cabinet has something to ask!"
Qiu Wencai bowed and said, "Then please ask Elder Ge to stay calm, and call him in the humble position!"
Not much time, a thin man was brought to Di Renjie. Di Renjie looked at the man up and down, and the county magistrate Qiu Wencai quickly shouted: "Bold, don't you kneel down when you see the imperial commissioner?"
The man trembled with fright, fell to his knees with a thump, and kowtowed: "Caomin kowtow to see the imperial commissioner!"
Di Renjie smiled and said: "Get up! Don't be nervous, this pavilion is just asking you a few questions! What is your name?"
The man stood up tremblingly, and replied: "In response to the words of the adults, the Caomin's name is Zhao Ada, from Hexi Village!"
Di Renjie nodded, twisted his head and smiled: "Zhao Ada, let me ask you, you said you have seen the man and woman on the missing persons notice?"
Zhao Ada bowed and replied, "Master Hui, Cao Min has seen it! Those two people are in our Hexi Village!"
Di Renjie was taken aback and asked quickly: "You mean these two people are from your Hexi Village?"
Zhao Ada shook his head and said, "No, no, they came to our Hexi Village about a month ago. The woman seemed to have broken her leg and couldn’t hurry, so she borrowed from Po Chen, who lives in our village. Home! Cao Min came to town to sell firewood yesterday and saw it
Yamen’s notice felt that the two people in the painting were exactly the same as the two people in our village, so they reported it to the master! "
The county magistrate Qiu Wencai hurriedly said: "Ge old, after receiving this clue, he sent someone to Shuozhou to report to Master Governor!"
Di Renjie nodded and continued to ask: "Zhao Ada, when you left Hexi Village, were those two people still in the village?"
Zhao Ada replied: "Yes! Yes! That woman broke her leg and can't go, she was the doctor whom the grassroots helped to find! The doctor said, every three or two months, she can't get off the ground!"
Di Renjie couldn't help being overjoyed. He looked at Li Yuanfang and Xiao Ying and said, "Okay! Zhao Ada, you take us to Hexi Village now!"
When the county magistrate Qiu Wencai heard this, he hurriedly persuaded him: "Elder Ge, you see that it's almost dark. It's too hard for you to go to Hexi Village at this time? This is what Zhao Ada said, and the woman broke her leg , I can’t leave anyway. Elder Ge will rest here for one night. It’s not too late to go tomorrow?"
Di Renjie waved his hand and said, "Thank you, County Order Qiu for your concern. Don’t worry. Besides, if this matter is involved, this pavilion won’t be able to rest even if it’s a problem! I’ve troubled County Order Qiu to prepare a carriage, and then appoint ten government officials to accompany me. Hexi Village!"
The county magistrate Qiu Wencai saw that Di Renjie insisted on going there, so he couldn't stop him any more, so he had to follow Di Renjie's instructions and prepared a carriage and ten elite servants!
When the group came to Hexi Village, the sky was completely dark. When they came to the entrance of the village, Di Renjie got out of the carriage and looked up at a small gate with the words'Hexi Village' written on it. Di Renjie called Zhao Ada. Called, pointed to the Fangmen and asked: "Zhao Ada, this is your Hexi Village?"
Zhao Ada bowed and said, "My lord, that's it!"
Di Renjie nodded, because the village road was narrow and the carriage could not pass, Di Renjie decided to abandon the car and walk, walked through the gate, and walked a few steps forward. Di Renjie suddenly stopped!
Li Yuanfang asked in surprise: "My lord, what's the matter?"
Di Renjie looked up and said, "It's weird! Why doesn't this Hexi Village light up the lights at night?"
Li Yuanfang smiled and said, "My lord, it may be that people in the village slept earlier. These ten winters and twelfth lunar months are during the slack season. It is normal to rest early!"
Di Renjie still felt wrong. It was a gust of wind. Di Renjie couldn't help but silenced his nose and frowned, "How come there is a smell of blood?"
Li Yuanfang
He sniffed vigorously, and said, "My lord, there seems to be a bloody smell!"
Di Renjie's expression tightened, and he quickly shouted: "Light up the torch!"
After hearing the order, the government officials quickly lit a torch. Li Yuanfang took a torch and walked in the forefront, protecting Di Renjie and entering the village. The blood became more and more intense!
The group walked to the door of the first house in the village. The door was closed tightly. A stream of blood was flowing from the gap under the door. Di Renjie stopped in front of the door. Everyone could see the blood flowing out. Surprised!
Seeing this, Zhao Ada yelled out of fright and ran to his own house madly. Di Renjie hurriedly shouted: "Quickly follow him!" After finishing talking, Di Renjie raised his hand to Li Yuanfang, and Li Yuanfang rushed forward with a stride. Come, kick open the door!
The door opened and Di Renjie stepped through the door. The fire light illuminated the room. Everyone was stunned by the sight in front of them. There were several corpses lying upside down in the room, and the ground in front of the door was stained red with blood flowing out. !
A group of government servants were so breathless by the heavy blood, they ran out of the room, and there were waves of vomiting outside the door. Even Li Yuanfang and Xiao Ying, who had been on the battlefield, could not help smelling the blood. Disgusting!
Di Renjie couldn't help but feel a little horrified, and hurriedly shouted: "Go! Go and see other people's houses!"
Everyone came to the next house again, and this house was the same as the one just now. Men, women, old and children fell in a pool of blood. Di Renjie clenched his fists in anger, and the angry flames in his eyes gushed out. After a long time, Di Renjie turned around. Go out!
Outside the room, Di Renjie took a few breaths of cold air, and ordered the servants present: "You should check with someone at the house to see if there is still alive. I guess all the people in this village should have been killed! "
Suddenly, a wailing pierced the night sky. It was Zhao Ada's voice. Di Renjie quickly said, "Go, go and have a look!"
As he said, Di Renjie brought Li Yuanfang and Xiao Ying towards the shouting trot. Outside the door of a house, the three of them saw Zhao Adazheng holding the corpse of a woman and wailed, "Ah! Who did it? Who killed it? My daughter-in-law? Ah!"
Looking at Zhao Ada who was distraught, Di Renjie also felt that it was not in his heart. He became more angry and angrily rebuked: "These thieves who have destroyed human nature are so vicious that they have massacred the whole village. Women, children, young and old are not letting go. , If this pavilion finds it out, they will definitely be broken into pieces!"
