"Don't worry, I will definitely catch the culprit!"
The leader of this group of soldiers looked at Uncle Liu and said solemnly. Uncle Liu looked at him helplessly, and his whole person seemed a little dull. After a moment, he said: "I remember this technique!"
He suddenly spoke, and everyone who had planned to disperse to investigate also stopped. As the oldest person in the entire Jiedu Pavilion, Uncle Liu might know something that they didn't know.
Sure enough, Uncle Liu pondered for a moment, looked at them with cloudy eyes, and asked: "Do you still remember what happened to Dong Zhong in the past?"
Everyone pondered for a moment, suddenly realized, and asked: "Could it be that something happened in the past..."
"Yes, the method of committing the crime is the same as the case of Dong Chong in the past. At that time, he also disappeared from the house of the Marquis Mansion, leaving blood and water. His body was found several months later..."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked. The Dong Chong case in the past was a major sensation. Even after the emperor ascended the throne, many knights and celebrities came to come, hoping to solve the case, find the culprit, and make a name for themselves.
The world is trying to please the emperor, but no matter how they investigate, there is no truth, no clues, no clues.
Until now, no one knows why the thief killed Dong Chong.
Of course, after Dong Chong was executed, this case gradually calmed down and no longer attracted everyone. However, it was still a very influential case. When they heard that the thief's methods were the same as before, everyone suddenly realized
It turns out that in this former residence of the Emperor, there is actually a very vicious thief hiding, openly committing murders at the imperial court station!
Uncle Liu said something, but he was a little dull, his eyes were a little dull, and he looked sick. The servant immediately supported him and returned to his courtyard, while Zhang Jiao and others were replaced.
Zhang Jiao had no choice but to retain the pawn, but within an hour, the Raoyang County Magistrate, County Magistrate, County Lieutenant and others rushed here because this matter already involved an old case!
When everyone arrived, they naturally investigated Jiedu Pavilion. Zhang Jiao and others were constantly questioned. They cooperated, but they hoped to rescue their disciples as soon as possible. Everyone was busy for three days.
, but did not get any information. As always, he did not even understand the thief's intention. This made the county magistrate very angry and reported the matter to the court.
The county magistrate did his duty well. He ordered all the entrances and exits in the surrounding area to be blocked, and no one was allowed to leave. Then they searched house to house, without exception. Even the residence of the highly respected Uncle Liu was searched one by one.
All the residences, county offices, warehouses, inns, etc. in Jiedu Pavilion. In short, except for the former residence of the Emperor, there was no other place that they had not searched.
They even brought in hounds to help watch the guards, but even so, they couldn't find any trace of anyone. Later, they began to search outdoors, in caves, rivers, and Jiedu Pavilion. They searched through it several times, but there was nothing.
There are no clues, not even the body can be found, and I don’t know whether he is dead or alive.
Three days later, the helpless guards released Zhang Jiao and others, but asked them not to leave Jiedu Pavilion. Zhang Jiao did not get the whereabouts of his disciples, and was unwilling to leave in the first place, so he searched here.
A place of accommodation was left here. As soon as he packed up the place, he immediately led his brother Zhang Bao to Uncle Liu. Along the way, both of them were very worried and speechless.
When they arrived at Liu Bo's courtyard, Liu Bo was driving the car. It seemed that he was preparing to go out. He was a little surprised to see Zhang Jiao and others coming. Zhang Jiao took a look and asked, "Isn't my father going out? It seems that we and we are going out."
It’s not the right time to come..."
Uncle Liu coughed a few times and then said: "You came just in time. I suddenly remembered some old things, so I want to go find some people. You can go with me!" He asked the servant to continue driving and asked:
"You came to me in such a hurry, but what's the important thing?"
"Alas...it's not because of my disciple's case. This case is very similar to Dong Zhong's case in the past. We are not local people and have only a little knowledge of this matter, so we came to visit Uncle Liu and want to know what happened in the past...
I also want to think about whether I have offended anyone."
Uncle Liu nodded, and the servant came to help him onto the bullock cart. He asked Zhang Jiao and Zhang Bao to sit on the cart. Zhang Jiao didn't respond and followed Uncle Liu on foot. Uncle Liu then said: "
In the past, when His Majesty was young, he was repeatedly attacked by assassins. In order to protect His Majesty, the Hou Mansion recruited some local rangers as retainers, and these rangers were all retainers of His Majesty and the Liu family."
"This time I am looking for the former disciples of the Liu family. They are well-informed. If there is any trouble, I will definitely not be able to hide it from them!" Uncle Liu said hoarsely, Zhang Jiao nodded, and Uncle Liu recalled the past of Dong Chongzhi.
When Zhang Jue and others heard that Dong Chong was found naked and dead by the river, they all became a little uneasy.
Because, among the two missing people, one is called Chu Yan, his most proud disciple, and the other is called Zhang Liang, but he is his younger brother!
Uncle Liu chatted with them all the way and slowly arrived at a courtyard near the Hou Mansion. The Hou Mansion was currently empty and uninhabited. Only some servants came to clean it, and those retainers lived next to the Hou Mansion.
To protect the safety of the Hou Mansion, even an empty Hou Mansion is enough for these rangers to guard it willingly.
Passing by the gate of the Hou Mansion, Zhang Jiao couldn't help but sigh. Who would have thought that an immortal king would actually walk out of this Hou Mansion? Everyone rushed outside the courtyard. Uncle Liu carefully got off the ox cart and sent
The servant went to report, and soon some guests came out to greet them. Uncle Liu took Zhang Jiao and went in with these people. Zhang Jiao also bowed to them one by one.
Uncle Liu sat down. The guard of the guest was the former ranger Han Jichang. He was sent here by the emperor because of his physical discomfort. He could be regarded as enjoying the glory and wealth and would have no worries for the rest of his life. When he saw Uncle Liu, he immediately bowed to see him.
, asked with a smile: "Uncle Liu is here, long time no see, Uncle Liu is still so strong!"
"Okay, this is the alchemist Zhang Jiao... Those people who disappeared earlier are his disciples..." Uncle Liu interrupted him and pointed to Zhang Jiao aside. Han Jichang narrowed his eyes.
She glanced at him and nodded in salute.
Uncle Liu asked: "Has there been anything unusual in Jiedu Pavilion in recent days?"
Han Jichang was silent for a moment, and looked at Zhang Jue beside him without saying anything. Uncle Liu glanced at Zhang Jue helplessly and said, "Don't blame me, please forgive me for being with you for a moment..." Zhang Jue knew whether the other party was there or not.
Trusting himself, he agreed immediately, knelt down and sat here, chatting with the rangers, while Uncle Liu tremblingly walked into the back room with Han Jichang.
As soon as he walked in, Uncle Liu's waist straightened up instantly. Han Jichang complained: "Why did you bring him here? What if he asks questions?"
"Those two people, how did your interrogation go?"
Uncle Liu did not answer, but asked coldly. Han Jichang snorted and said: "I have been hungry for two days and beaten for two days. Now, I have nothing left to answer whatever I ask..." The two walked along.
Entering the inner room, walking to the end of the inner room, there was a small door leading directly to the Hou's Mansion. Opening the small door, the two of them walked directly into the empty Hou's Mansion, looking at the familiar furnishings around them.
, Uncle Liu couldn't help but feel a little confused in his eyes.
After walking in the Hou Mansion for a while, they just walked into the woodshed of the Hou Mansion. As soon as they entered the house, they saw two people. They were hung naked on the beam. They were covered in bloodstains. It was too horrible to see. The blood was constantly flowing.
