Daming King of Punishment

After leaving those words behind, he and Bai Zhuo started eating.

The smile on the county magistrate's face became a lot uglier. He couldn't tell that Song Wuya had something to say, he was clearly saying that he, the county magistrate, did a 'good job'.This is good, the county magistrate's face immediately changed, the one in front of him is still holding the gold medal bestowed by the emperor.Moreover, he still doesn't know what the purpose of coming here is.Although Song Wuya said he was passing by, the county magistrate didn't quite believe it.

Right now, this is the county magistrate's method to test Song Wuya's purpose.It's a pity that he invited him twice in a row, but he couldn't see Song Wuya's purpose.

Just like that, he waited awkwardly for Song Wuya and Bai Zhuo to have breakfast, and took them to the county government office.

"Master County Magistrate, please sit down." Song Wuya looked at the overly respectful county magistrate, and reluctantly asked him to sit down.

The county magistrate completely treated Song Wuya as a giant Buddha.As the head of a county, he insisted on letting Song Wuya sit on the top seat. Not only did Song Wuya not feel flattered, but he felt a little bit unbearable.

Under Song Wuya's insistence, the county magistrate had no choice but to follow suit.

"Lord county magistrate, can you tell me about the bloody case in Zhaojia Village in detail?" Song Wuya didn't have time to chat with this magistrate about such useless things, so he immediately went straight to the point and asked about the details of the case. .

When the county magistrate heard about this case, his head grew dizzy, and he said, "Come here, serve tea to the two adults!"

Song Wuya's face turned dark, "Master County Magistrate, please say it one last time, don't call me Sir. If you don't want to cooperate with our investigation, then I can only ask the Holy Majesty for an imperial decree to change the county magistrate to assist us in investigating this case. "

"My lord, forgive me! My lord..." The county magistrate's complexion changed suddenly, and he knelt down on the ground and screamed. Just halfway through his words, he was shocked when he saw Song Wuya's expression change, and quickly changed his words. "My lord, please forgive me! I don't mean that. I want us to talk about it while drinking tea. In addition, I still need to find a file so that I can tell the whole story of the bloody case!"

For the county magistrate's delay, Song Wuya had no choice but to let him go.However, what Song Wuya said before was not a joke with him, and what he said was completely possible.

It was just a cup of tea, and the county magistrate respectfully took the file and came here.

"The county magistrate's efficiency is pretty good. I thought it would be a long wait! I'm about to prepare pens, ink, paper and inkstone!" Bai Zhuo said with some malicious intentions as he watched the county magistrate sit down.

With just such a sentence, cold sweat dripped from the magistrate's forehead, and he looked nervously at Song Wuya.

"Young Master Song, the officials are trying their best to cooperate now, you must have seen it!"

Ignoring such inquiries, Song Wuya said indifferently: "Now the county magistrate can tell us in detail the details of the bloody case in Zhaojia Village?"

The county magistrate nodded and began to tell the story of the murder.

One morning more than 20 days ago, the county magistrate had just woken up and came to the county government office, when there was the sound of a drum calling for grievances outside the county government office.

"Who plays the drums?"

Soon the person who played the drum was brought to the court, and the county magistrate immediately questioned him.

The person kneeling in the hall was covered in mud, looking extremely embarrassed in this winter, and his body was completely black, with a smell of burnt smell.

Hearing the county magistrate's inquiry, the drummer immediately reported his name.

"My lord, Xiaomin Zhao Manshan, my Zhaojiazhuang was caught in a fire, and I was the only one left to live alone among the more than 300 people in the village. Please let the lord and the little people be the masters!"

Unexpectedly, the person who came to report the crime was none other than Zhao Manshan who was identified as the murderer.

The county magistrate frowned when he heard this. This is a terrible thing. A huge village with a population of more than 300 households died in the fire.

He pondered Zhao Manshan's words, and after a long time, he suddenly frowned, and exclaimed: "You said that the fire killed more than 300 people in your village! But you survived?"

"Yes! My lord!" Zhao Manshan was thinking about the destruction of Zhaojiazhuang in his heart, and he didn't hear the suspicion in the county magistrate's words at all.

"How did you escape?" the county magistrate continued to ask.

Hearing this, Zhao Manshan immediately explained the truth.

"I made a bet with Zhao Sanhu in the village, enter Heifeng Mountain at dusk, and go to the Heifeng Village that has been burned to ashes to get something."

The county magistrate was surprised by Zhao Manshan's answer, and he yelled, "Heifengshan! Heifengzhai! Go get things in the middle of the night! You are really brave enough!"

Such a move, not to mention the county magistrate, surprised everyone present.You must know that they have all heard of the haunted area of ​​Heifeng Village in Heifeng Mountain, and they dare not let anyone go there during the day, let alone at night.

All of a sudden, the county magistrate couldn't care less about asking about the case, and asked with his eyes wide open, "How is it! What did you see? Is there really a ghost?"

"Ghost! There are ghosts! I went to Heifeng Village, but I didn't see anything. I just found half a bone in Heifeng Village, and then returned to the village. On the way back, I heard the sound of horseshoes from a distance. When it came, I thought of the haunted thing and quickly hid. Soon I saw a group of people passing by on horseback. They...they..."

Having said that, Zhao Manshan's breathing also became quicker. Even though he was courageous enough, he also felt scared now. The cold sweat on his forehead could not help but flow out in this cold weather. It is conceivable that I know how terrified he is at the moment.

Seeing such a situation, the county magistrate knew that there was something wrong with this group of people, and he immediately asked: "You should tell me quickly! What happened to that group of people? Where did they go?"

Zhao Manshan's current expression is not enough to say this. He obviously recalled the situation at that time, and his heart was extremely terrified and unable to extricate himself.

Like the rest of his life after a catastrophe, Zhao Manshan didn't listen to the words of the county magistrate, but just stood there in a daze.

However, it didn't take long for Zhao Manshan to calm down. After all, he is also a courageous person, so he continued to talk about what happened just now.

"Their eyes! Their eyes! They're all glowing red, glowing red!"

"what?"

The county magistrate and the surrounding yamen servants turned pale with fright, their eyes glowed red, which is unimaginable.

"How could their eyes be glowing red? Isn't this too scary?"

The county magistrate sat on the chair in a panic, his face full of horror. He had never heard of such a thing. At this moment, these things came from Zhao Manshan's mouth, which made him unable to calm down for a long time.

"What are those things? Are you sure it's a person with red eyes riding a horse?" After the county magistrate calmed down his emotions, he immediately asked Zhao Manshan again.

Zhao Manshan nodded: "The direction they went was exactly the direction of the Black Wind Village. After that, I regained my strength and ran away quickly! When I returned to the village, it was almost dawn and the fire was still burning , I ran in and shouted for a long time without hearing anyone's response."

"From this, you can judge that all the 300 people in your Zhaojiazhuang Village died in the village?" The county magistrate's face was ugly. After all, in his opinion, Zhao Manshan's judgment was too arbitrary.He didn't see the cause and process of the fire at all, and naturally he didn't see whether the villagers escaped. How could he conclude that all the villagers were dead?

"My lord! If the villagers weren't all dead, why didn't they put out the fire?" Seeing that the county magistrate didn't believe him, Zhao Manshan shouted angrily.

The county magistrate's face tightened immediately, and he became a little embarrassed, which is indeed the case.After all, all the family business is here, if there are survivors, it is impossible to leave it alone.

"Okay! Send people to investigate immediately!" After the county magistrate inquired about the situation, seeing that Zhao Manshan couldn't say anything else, he immediately ordered the yamen servant to go to Zhaojiazhuang immediately.

Zhaojiazhuang was not far from the city, and in less than an hour, the county magistrate brought a group of yamen servants to Zhaojiazhuang following Zhao Manshan's identification.

There was already a scorching smell in the distance, and the thick smoke was still billowing.In Zhaojiazhuang, most of the houses are dilapidated adobe houses and thatched houses, which are very easy to catch fire.At this moment, the fire was almost over, and many houses had collapsed and turned into ruins. From time to time, there were still some small flames jumping, telling them how big the fire yesterday should be.

The county magistrate looked at this scene and couldn't bear it, it was too tragic.

"Extinguish the remaining fire immediately, and investigate the scene." The county magistrate knew that the entire village had been destroyed by a fire, and it would be difficult to find the living. Next, count the trees and compare them with the population registered in the county government, and everything will be clear.

The yamen servants immediately started to transport the snow from a distance, covering the ruins, and quickly extinguished all the flames.

When they conducted the on-site investigation, they were really shocked. More than 300 people died in the fire. The horrible scene still makes the county magistrate feel nauseous when recalling it.

?Chapter 2 and Four Convicted

After listening to the county magistrate's narration, both Song Wuya and Bai Zhuo could imagine the tragic scene. More than 300 corpses were burned in the fire. The smell of burning is terrifying just thinking about it.
