Daming King of Punishment

"Lord County Magistrate, so what Zhao Manshan said is the truth, Zhao Family Village was indeed massacred?" Song Wuya looked at the county magistrate and asked.

There were more than 300 people, and it was impossible for all of them to be sleeping soundly in the room without knowing about the fire outside.Moreover, Song Wuya also felt very strange about the group of red-eyed men riding horses. Their appearance made Zhao Manshan feel that they were the dead souls of bandits that had been rumored in the Black Wind Village.What made him most suspicious was that these people had a face-to-face meeting with Zhao Manshan on the way back. Doesn't this just mean that these guys probably came from the direction of Zhaojiazhuang, so the people who set the fire might be these people .

"That's right! When we went there, the frozen soil under our feet was blood red, as if it had been washed with blood." The county magistrate nodded in horror.

Just as Song Wuya thought, it was absolutely impossible for these villagers to be burned to death in their sleep, and there must be another reason for their death.

"In that case, what else was found at the scene?" Song Wuya nodded and continued to ask.

The county magistrate no longer had the file, and shouted without hesitation: "In the ruins of the village, and around the village, there are horseshoe prints everywhere! At first I wondered why there were so many small ones on the ground. Small blood pits. Only after the yamen servants dug them up did they realize that they were all horseshoe marks!"

"Horseshoe prints!" Shao Wu was shocked when he heard that, but also delighted. Just now he was guessing what the connection between that group of people and the murder in Zhaojiazhuang was. Now the horseshoe prints on the ground directly prove that the relationship between them So when I met Zhao Manshan, it was entirely because those people happened to cross paths with Zhao Manshan, Zhao Manshan went to Heifengzhai, and they went to Zhaojiazhuang.

The county magistrate immediately responded: "That's right, it's the horseshoe print. In this way, the team of people with red eyes that Zhao Manshan encountered is extremely suspicious!"

"Well! You're right, and I think so too. But, I don't understand why you identified the murderer of this bloody case as Zhao Manshan? After all, he is the one who reported the case, and he can't expose his own crimes. Right?" Song Wuya was very puzzled about the county magistrate's intention.

If he didn't say that the murder case was related to that team, Song Wuya would only think that he was confused.But he clearly knew this, and he wanted to convict Zhao Manshan, which obviously had ulterior motives!

"Who says it's not! Although he has evidence of his alibi, he has no witnesses, so what he confessed cannot be proved to be true." The county magistrate immediately explained after hearing Song Wuya's doubts. "So the lower officials sent people to the Black Wind Mountain to search for evidence, and they did find the horseshoe marks. What is shocking is that the horseshoe marks left on the ground suddenly disappeared, as if those horses and horses suddenly grew wings Flew away from the sky. The most frightening thing is that, based on the time of Zhao Manshan's confession, when those people and horses disappeared, it happened to be just before dawn."

Unexpectedly, the case became more and more terrifying and suspenseful, Song Wuya's brows were tightly frowned, and he, who has always been an atheist, couldn't help doubting himself at this moment.

"Could it be that they are really the ghosts of the bandit in Heifengzhai?"

The moment this idea appeared, Song Wuya immediately shook his head and vetoed it.

"Impossible, impossible, some weird means must have been used, maybe there is a mechanism there." Song Wuya explained his doubts, he couldn't let himself believe in such superstitious things.

But Bai Zhuo was different, his face was extremely ugly now, if Song Wuya was not by his side, he wouldn't want to listen to the county magistrate about the Zhaojiazhuang murder at all.

"Let's go and see the scene!" Song Wuya knew that it was not enough to find out the details of the case based on what they said, so he had to go to the scene to check it out.

At the very least, he had to solve the mystery of the sudden disappearance of that group of people.

Hearing his words, the county magistrate immediately became nervous: "Hey! Mr. Song, this is absolutely unacceptable! That place is haunted, and those red-eyed murderers don't know if they will appear again. If you There was an accident, how can I explain it to the Holy Majesty! Besides, the scene was extremely terrifying, how can you bear to watch it!"

"Yes!" The magistrate didn't wait for Song Wuya to say anything, Bai Zhuo nervously agreed, "Brother Wuya, this winter is so cold. Besides, it's been so long, and I can't find anything if I go there gone."

Listening to Bai Zhuo's words, Song Wuya sighed, he ignored the words, and said directly to the county magistrate, "Lord magistrate, we can arrange manpower now!"

The county magistrate knew that Song Wuya was not joking this time, but he also knew in this cold weather that he didn't know what the scene was like.After all, the cold wind has been blowing a lot during this period, and the scene has changed a long time ago.

Now that Song Wuya had already made his decision, what else could the county magistrate say, so he could only nod his head and call the yamen servants to open the way.

The ruins of Zhaojiazhuang can be seen from a distance, and a group of people walking in this mountain field should be extra careful.After all, the previous fire had melted a lot of the snow here, and there were condensed ice crystals everywhere on the ground.

After walking in, Song Wuya immediately saw bright red bloodstains on the ground. The county magistrate was right, the villagers here must have been brutally slaughtered.Although this is the truth, the bright red all over the ground is still weird, even if it is death, blood will not flow everywhere!

Song Wuya squatted on the ground. For more than 20 days, the place has already been blown by the cold wind, and a lot of dust and snowflakes have been scattered here.

After sweeping away the snowflakes on the ground, Song Wuya saw the blood-colored potholes at a glance. These were the horseshoe marks that had stepped deeply on the ground one by one.

This is winter. If it wasn't for the fire that made the ground soft and bloody, there would be so many clear horseshoe prints. This also shows that at least it was before the fire completely burned. Those on horseback are still here.

Seeing such a situation, Song Wuya must have a new analysis, that is, all these people did it deliberately, but their purpose is a bit confusing.What is the hatred between them and Zhaojiazhuang?Why kill these unarmed villagers so cruelly?What is their purpose.

Things happen for a reason, so everything they do cannot be without purpose.

"Lord county magistrate, how did you check the scene here?" Song Wuya saw that the clues left at the scene were basically the same as what the county magistrate said, so he didn't care about it.

The county magistrate has been waiting by Song Wuya's side all the time. Seeing his seriousness, he really has the aura of a capable person.

"We cleaned up all the corpses here, and found the cause of the fire." The county magistrate replied immediately, and explained the results of their investigation to Song Wuya. "There are many fire points in this fire. It is obviously arson intentionally. As for the others, I can't find out. After all, the fire is too fierce, and everything here has been reduced to ashes."

"As expected!" Song Wuya snorted coldly and said, "I knew you would only check corpses!"

"This..." The county magistrate became nervous: "Young Master Song, what do you say? Besides examining the corpse, what else can we do? After all, you have also seen the situation here, and it was really burned Jing, I can't find any other clues. I hope Mr. Song will check clearly, the official is really meticulous in collecting evidence!"

Song Wuya smiled, and he was not in a hurry to speak, but led the county magistrate directly into a ruined courtyard.

"There are three houses here. Judging from the distribution, this family is a single family." Song Wuya walked towards the west side, which was obviously within the outline of the house. "This house is too small, and it faces east from west. It should always be a place to store farm tools and sundries."

After making this inference, Song Wuya asked the yamen servant at the side for a machete and began to search for it in the ruins.

Soon, several deformed agricultural tools were found in the ruins, which also verified Song Wuya's calculation.Song Wuya didn't say much, walked to the main room and started searching as before.

"This place should be an old man living alone, and an old lady." After inspecting the two houses, Song Wuya immediately expressed his judgment.

After hearing this, Xian couldn't help frowning, and immediately looked behind him and shouted: "Zhao Manshan, come here!"

Soon Zhao Manshan was brought to him, and the county magistrate immediately asked him about the situation of the family in front of him.

"This is my aunt's house. He has no children and lives here alone."

Unexpectedly, this family has some relationship with Zhao Manshan, this is not important, what is important is that Song Wuya's calculation is completely correct.

The county magistrate immediately gave a thumbs up: "Young Master Song, how do you know the situation here? Even I don't know, you are really amazing!"

"It's nothing! I found a few unused agricultural tools in the utility room before, and they were placed in the deepest corner. It can be seen that they are not intended to be used. And there are a lot of wood ash outside the agricultural tools. It can be seen that they were piled behind the firewood. Moreover, there are not many things in this house, but there are many small objects in the back room. In such a village, these metal objects can only appear on women's dressing boxes. And There should be some evidence on the position of the corpse in this house, but it was a pity that it was destroyed by man!"

Chapter 2 Black Wind Mountain

"Destroyed artificially? How is this possible? What kind of evidence is it!" The county magistrate was a little flustered, and now hearing what Song Wuya said, he found that the scene he did was really full of loopholes.

Wasn't it a slap in the face to be pointed out one by one by these clues that they didn't find?How dare the county magistrate say anything more to Song Wuya now, if he continued, he might lose even the slightest bit of face.

Song Wuya pointed to a trace on the ground that was obviously a corpse and said, "This should be a piece of melted silver! Someone took it away."

As soon as he said this, the faces of the servants who followed him immediately became ugly.

However, Song Wuya did not intend to pursue this matter, after all, it was nothing, the melted silver should have been a hairpin, and it was the trace left by the position of the corpse and the silver hairpin. It was only then that the identity of the deceased was determined.

Song Wuya walked towards the ruins of another courtyard with his legs open, and the yamen servants breathed a sigh of relief.The county magistrate was the same, his heart dropped from his throat, he stared fiercely at them and pointed a few times before following Song Wuya.

Soon, after an hour, Song Wuya had checked several ruins around him, and found many things he wanted.

"Now it seems that these people are not here for money." Song Wuya quickly got the answer, but Song Wuya did not find traces of food being burned here. "It seems that their main purpose may be for food! As for why they killed all the people and used such cruel means, I am afraid that the purpose is to show this horror to the world and make everyone fear Heifeng Mountain!"

"That's right!" Bai Zhuo echoed: "This is exactly the same method as those people! From this point of view, it must be the work of the Wuliang Sect!"

"What!" The county magistrate, who was following Song Wuya and Bai Zhuo, almost fell to the ground with a scream.

This scene surprised Song Wuya and Bai Zhuo, and the servants at the side had already quickly supported him.

"What's the matter, magistrate?" Song Wuya asked after looking him up and down.
