After the city gate was opened, Jiangning Zuo Sikou joined the army Zhang Yubo was convinced and personally led the cavalry to the mouth of Jinchuan River. Yang Pu then led the police cavalry to arrive. After a rough inspection of the scene, the criminals retreated to the poplar forest in the southwest corner and paid attention.
Hidden traces, Yang Shulin used to be a village, and then without entering the village, there was a carriage road that led directly to the Donghua Gate official road. Some clues can be found until you reach the Donghua Gate official road, but when you follow it outside Donghua Gate, any traces disappear.
All empty.
Thirty-six cold corpses lay in the fields, covered with white cloths. Their families sat on the ground next to them sadly, sobbing or wailing. Lin Fu sent Qian Xiaowu to take people to Quyang Town and Moling County to buy coffins and lay them on the ground.
The people on the ground were both men and women, old and young. When they arrived at the mouth of the Jinchuan River, they were filled with joy. He couldn't just wrap the dead in straw mats and bury them.
The more humble human life is, the more precious Lin Fu feels that human life is. He sat on the edge of the field, between the heads of the row of corpses, and held the knife across his chest.
"The murderer's methods are very neat and difficult to detect..." Zhang Yubo ignored his image and sat down next to Lin Fu.
Lin Fu stared at the long white clouds in the distance, and after a while he said: "It is still unclear who was targeted for what happened last night. It is indeed difficult to find out. If it was targeted at Mr. Gu, I am afraid that Jiangning Mansion's Military and Horse Department will not be able to intervene.
"
Zhang Yubo nodded. He had examined the scene and the wounds of the deceased. The murderer last night was by no means an ordinary character. He saw Yang Pu coming from a distance and couldn't be too inconspicuous, so he and Lin Fu stood up.
"Master Zhang, Master Lin..." Yang Pu saluted Zhang Yubo and Lin Fu. Zhang Yubo was a seventh-rank Zuo Sikou who joined the army, and Yang Pu was only a military officer of the eighth rank, so he naturally had to salute Zhang Yubo. The Dai Viet Dynasty had always suppressed Wu Chongwen, a senior military attaché.
Fortunately, low-level military attachés have always been ignored, so it was appropriate for him to salute Lin Fu, the ninth-grade prison officer.
However, the relationship between Yang Pu and Gu Wuchen was extraordinary, and Zhang Yubo did not dare to show off in front of him, so he returned the greeting to Lin Fu: "You're welcome, Yang Dianwei."
"After inspecting the scene, until there is further evidence, the case can only be entrusted to Mr. Zhang for a thorough investigation," Yang Pu said, "I will go back and report the case to Mr. Gu first. Do you want Mr. Lin to go into the city with me?"
"
"I'll stay here to take care of my affairs for the time being," Lin Fu said. "Uncle Yang, please inform Mr. Gu. If Mr. Gu wants to summon you, just send a horseman out of the city to inform me."
Lin Fu knew that Yang Pu also suspected that yesterday's murderer committed such atrocities against Gu Wuchen, so he hurried back to ask Gu Wuchen for instructions. Before Gu Wuchen made a decision, the jurisdiction over yesterday's murder case belonged to the Jiangning Mansion Military and Horse Department. Whether it was Zhang Yubo or Yang Pu,
At least Lin Fu trusted them in the investigation of the murder, but Zhang Yubo and Yang Pu could not find any clues for the time being, which did not mean that Lin Fu was helpless.
When the murderers attacked the camp last night, three people were hiding in the poplar forest and directing everything. Cao Ziang and Wu Qi took them down quietly. Lin Fu had asked the big loach master Ge Cunxin and the little loach master Ge Cunxiong to hide them on the boat and transfer them.
He went elsewhere; in addition, Wu Qi led people to follow last night's murderers, but they haven't come back to report yet. Maybe they have found out where those people stayed.
A sneer appeared on Lin Fu's lips: Yesterday's murderers had a well-planned attack on the camp and their actions were swift, but these murderers never thought that Cao Zi'ang, Wu Qi, Ge Cunxin, Ge Cunxiong and others were hiding among these refugees for him.
Cao Ziang, Wu Qi, Ge Cunxin, Ge Cunxiong and others cannot see the light. Not only can they not let the thugs and enemies who commit atrocities know their existence, but they can also not let Zhang Yubo, Yang Pu and Gu Wuchen know their existence. Zhang Yubo and Yang Pu have checked
Without any clues, Lin Fu could only remain silent.
Yang Pu left first, without going to the prison island a mile away to meet his son, and rushed back to the city to report the matter to Gu Wuchen; Zhang Yubo left Jiangning Mansion's disobedience behind, and such a major incident occurred in the county on the outskirts of the city.
He also wanted to report the murder case to Jiangning Prefecture Yin Wang Xueshan. At this time, he could not confirm whether the case would eventually come under the jurisdiction of Jiangning Prefecture or whether the Prosecutor's Office would take over.
After Yang Pu and Zhang Yubo left, the Moling County lieutenant came belatedly. Lin Fu was too lazy to socialize and said that things were busy on Prison Island, so he pushed Lin Jingzhong out. He and Zhou Pu left the mouth of Jinchuan River by boat and returned to Jinchuan Prison Island.
When the boat arrived at Jinchuan Island, Lin Fu arranged for the boatman on the boat to be from Changshan Island, and asked the escort soldiers to go ashore. He and Zhou Pu took the boat around to the northwest corner of Jinchuan Prison Island. There is a dense forest here, and some shrubs have already grown.
It grew into the river and stretched deep into the river. There was a boat hidden inside. Brothers Cao Ziang, Ge Cunxin, and Ge Cunxiong were hiding in the cabin. Only then did they stick their heads out and welcome Lin Fu and Zhou Pu in.
In the corner of the cabin, three men were tied up. They were all covered with bruises. It seemed that Cao Ziang had already examined them. At this time, they had rag socks stuffed in their mouths to prevent them from shouting. They saw Lin Fu walking in.
, the young man who was slightly younger, about thirty-one or two years old, had a look of surprise and panic in his eyes. They didn't know who Cao Ziang and the others who captured them were, but when they saw Lin Fu walking in, they knew that Cao Ziang and the others were there.
They were originally Lin Fu's people. They thought they had seen through the foundations of Lin Fu and Jiyun Society, and they only saw the right time to plan yesterday's attack on the camp. Who would have thought that Lin Fu would be able to fight back, or even catch them with a backhand, how could this make them
Not surprised or alarmed?
"It seems you are the leader!" Lin Fu missed the young man among them, took out the rag socks from the mouth of the man with the scar on the left face, took it in his hand, and asked, "Who could do such a cruel thing?
Deal with me?"
"Bah, who do you think you are?" The scar-faced man pouted and was about to spit in Lin Fu's face. Lin Fu punched him on the chin. When the tip of his tongue reached his lips to spit, he moved up and down.
His teeth clashed together, and he bit the tip of his tongue until blood dripped from his mouth. He was unable to spit the spittle on Lin Fu's face.
"Are you really so stubborn that you think I won't kill people?" Lin Fu stared at the scar-faced man with a gentle look on his face, and said in a cold voice, "There are thirty-six innocent corpses lying on the opposite bank, and you actually think that I won't kill you.
?" Lin Fu grabbed the man's hair, pulled out the knife and wiped it on his neck. Before pulling out the knife, he blocked the cut artery with the rag socks in his hand to prevent the knife from splattering everywhere.
.
The other two people never expected that Lin Fu would draw his sword and kill after he walked in and said a few words. The killing method was still so clean and neat. Even the man with the scar didn't expect that he would die like this. He could only hear the blood spurting into his ears.
There was a sizzling sound on the rag socks, and a large stream of steaming blood instantly soaked the rag socks and dripped down.
Lin Fu waited until the carotid artery blood of the scar-faced man stopped spurting, then he released his hand and threw the body into the corner. He threw aside the blood-soaked rag socks, then turned sideways and mouthed the young man's mouth.
Pulling out the white socks from inside, his hands and wrists were soaked with blood. He calmly took the ball of socks and wiped the blood off his hands, and said to the young man: "It's your turn to talk to me...
…”
"Lin...Lin...Lin...Master Lin..." The young man's tongue was tied. He said the three words "Sir Lin" for a long time, but couldn't say half a word after that. Lin Fu smelled the smell of urine.
, looked down and saw that the boy's crotch was already wet with urine.
Lin Fu threw aside the ball of cloth socks that he used to wipe his hands, walked to the cabin, and left the interrogation matter to Zhou Pu, Cao Zi'ang and the others. He squatted on the bow of the ship and reached into the water to wash away the blood on his wrists.
After a while, Cao Ziang, Zhou Pu, and the Ge brothers came out and said, "Last night was the swordsman raised by the Qu family in Quyang Town..."
"Quyang Qu Family?" Lin Fu raised his head and glanced at Cao Ziang in confusion.
Jiangning City has a population of 150,000 households, a prosperous urban economy, and a degree of dependence on external material supplies that is unimaginable to ordinary people. Rice and grain alone need to be imported as much as 400 million kilograms from other places every year.
These are astronomical figures, which have promoted the rapid rise of surrounding towns. In addition to the ten counties around the city, there are also 24 satellite towns that are even more prosperous than ordinary counties. Quyang Town is one of them.
The Qu family is a well-known wealthy family in Quyang Town. Even more than 70% of the land rent collection rights on both sides of the Jinchuan River are in the hands of the rent collection warehouse controlled by the Qu family. Of course, this also includes the land that Lin Fu will expropriate to build the warehouse dock. In addition,
In addition, neither Lin Fu nor Jiyunshe had any contact with the Qu family. Maybe many of the large quantities of materials Lin Mengde purchased from Quyang Town came from the Qu family. Just such a small grudge would make the Qu family angry.
With such evil hands, does the Qu family really not understand that the person behind Jiyun Society or Jinchuan Prison Island is Gu Wuchen?
"That boy is Qu Wuyang's only son. He was sent to Qu Wuyang yesterday to increase his experience... He doesn't know why the Qu family is so cruel to us. He insists that Jiyun Society's foothold at the mouth of the river will encroach on their Qu family.
Those who have interests in this area brought people here to teach us a lesson!" Cao Ziang said.
"Lesson, in their words, this lesson is really an understatement." Lin Fu felt indescribable grief and indignation.
"How to deal with him? He is willing to pay 20,000 taels of silver for his life!" Cao Zi'ang asked, "Qu Wuyang is probably willing to pay 20,000 taels of silver for this only son."
"Twenty thousand taels of silver is really a lot," Lin Fu squatted on the bow of the boat, turned to look at Cao Zi'ang, Zhou Pu, Ge Cunxin, and Ge Cunxiong who were standing behind him, and said, "If someone else spends 20,000 taels of silver with me,
Buying your heads, what do you want me to do?"
Ge Cunxiong wanted to calm down the atmosphere by saying that the government's reward for his two brothers was only two hundred taels of silver. However, seeing that Lin Fu's face was extremely serious and he could feel his mood, he stopped making casual jokes.
Lin Fu 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 have to give them an explanation - kill them, kill them cleanly,
Then go find out who is standing behind the Qu family?"
