After waiting for a long time, no one followed, so he asked the waiter to come over and ordered him to make 15 large pots of rice and kill a few pigs.
Pigs are raised, and they are a completely different animal than the pigs and beasts in the mountains and forests. They are fat, sweet and delicious. The key is that they have no smell. They are considered high-end delicacies.
The waiter was a little confused. Ye Xing took out 50 taels of silver and put it on the table. The waiter finally understood and hurriedly called the boss.
When the boss came out, Ye Xing took out the county guard's token and said, "We, the city guards, are having lunch here. Hurry up and get ready. There are 150 people. Prepare 15 big tables for me."
The boss didn't dare to neglect and hurried to prepare. Ye Xing gave him the money and asked him to buy vegetables and start cooking immediately.
Because the portion requested was so large, the boss quickly invited several people from nearby restaurants to come over and help.
After a long time, when everyone from the special training team came to the small town, they were all exhausted, weak from hunger, and listless, like people fleeing a disaster area.
A few smart people had already seen Ye Xing's horse, and after a quick look around, they saw Ye Xing drinking tea on the side of the road.
Everyone came over immediately and sat down on the ground one by one without moving. Ye Qingyan also led the horse over and tied the reins, picked up the teapot in front of Ye Xing and poured it to his mouth.
Ye Xing smiled and asked the waiter to bring out several large buckets for everyone to drink. He also ordered a few captains who seemed to be more energetic to arrange tables with the waiter, and lined up 15 tables on the roadside for immediate serving of food. Lunch.
After walking more than 70 miles in one morning, they didn't have enough to eat in the morning, so these people were really hungry, just like refugees.
Naturally, everyone had no manners. They robbed and ate for a long time, and then started to eat slowly again. They also remembered that Ye Xing, the cruel leader, was beside them, so they did not dare to make any noise, and became quiet and cultivated.
Ye Xing asked the 15 captains to come over and said, "You will rest here later. You can make your own arrangements to buy pots, salt, rice, etc. I will not care about your dinner, and there is no place to sleep. You will take care of everything yourself."
The captains nodded, knowing that Commander Ye would no longer care about his people from now on, and would return to his team to discuss.
Ye Xing finished eating quickly and continued to drink tea. At this time, the shop owner came over, bowed to Ye Xing and said, "Lord Commander, here are the remaining silver taels." He handed over more than 20 taels of broken pieces with both hands. silver.
Ye Xing asked, "You asked others to help, and you didn't need to pay for the hard work?"
The shopkeeper said quickly, "I've given it, that's enough."
Ye Xing didn't answer and said, "Please take a look and prepare some dry food for everyone. You don't have to ask if it tastes good or not, the key is to be full. If you don't have enough money, ask me again."
The boss nodded and turned to leave.
Ye Xing walked out and Ye Qingyan wanted to follow. Ye Xing said, "You rest here while I go for a walk."
Shishan Town is indeed a big town. Mountain towns like Yunshan Town are far inferior, because people come and go, and naturally there are all kinds of people.
Ye Xing looks very small, but he is dressed in the green military uniform unique to the City Guards, equipped with weapons, and is much taller than the average person.
Everyone knew he was a city guard, so no one dared to look at him more for fear of causing trouble.
Ye Xing had nothing to do, he just wanted to examine different customs.
When I came to a street in the town, I saw a large group of people watching in front of an alley, which was very noisy.
At any time, anywhere, there is a group of idlers who will gather together when nothing happens, and will definitely gather around to watch when something happens.
Ye Xing walked forward and found out that a murder had occurred.
This case was discovered in the morning. A family in the alley was killed last night. A family of four, a couple and two minor children were killed.
There were very few government officials in the town, and it was possible that such a vicious case had never happened for a long time, and they didn’t know how to investigate the case, so they just protected the scene;
I asked someone to report to the county immediately, but until now, no one is handling the case.
Seeing Ye Xing's attire, those people thought that Ye Xing was sent by the county to investigate the case, so they took the initiative to give way.
An official came over and asked Ye Xing to come in, meaning to ask Ye Xing to handle the case.
Ye Xing didn't want to pay attention at first, but he thought that he was also a city guard and had the responsibility to defend the land, so he walked in. The mayor was not there, so he should go back and wait for someone from above.
The junior official introduced some things about the case to Ye Xing. In the morning, a neighbor found blood in the back alley, found the family's house, and discovered the case.
Report to the town government office. The town government office has already sent someone to report to the county seat.
Ye Xing said nothing and asked someone to bring a group of city guards from outside the town, while he carefully observed the house.
The house is very small, with only three rooms, a kitchen and a hall.
The man's throat was cut in the hall, his face looked horrified and stunned;
A woman’s neck was crushed in the kitchen, her hands were stained with blood;
Two children were stabbed to death directly in the room.
Ye Xing observed each room carefully without saying anything.
At this time, a captain ran over. It was Tang Xiaoshan. He used to be a messenger, but later his skills increased greatly. During this special training, he competed for the position of captain.
Ye Xing asked everyone to guard both sides of the alley, not letting anyone in or out, and asked a soldier to ask Ye Qingyan to bring the horse over.
Soon Ye Qingyan arrived, and Ye Xing took out a magnifying glass and some powder from the package on the horse.
Ye Xing walked to the deceased, squatted down, and observed carefully with a magnifying glass. He asked Tang Xiaoshan to hold a pen and paper and said what he wanted to record.
"The male deceased was attacked and killed by an acquaintance. The murder weapon was a knife or a dagger! The murderer probably struck suddenly during a conversation, and the deceased did not resist."
"And it didn't make any big noise, and it didn't affect the women and children in the other rooms."
"The deceased woman was making food in the kitchen when she was attacked from behind and her throat was crushed. The murderer knew martial arts and must have been pretty good at it."
"The deceased woman was not sexually assaulted. The blood stains on the hands of the deceased woman should be from scratching the hands or face of the murderer before she died."
"The two children were killed while they were sleeping without any resistance. The crime should have occurred late at night and it was an acquaintance who committed the crime."
Ye Xing used a spray bottle to spray powder on the windows and windowsill, and observed carefully with a magnifying glass. After a while, he said:
"The murderer climbed out of the window of the child's room. The murderer was a man, short in stature, with large hands. There were injuries on his right hand, scratched by the nails of the deceased woman. The ring finger on his left hand should be missing."
Ye Xing turned to Ye Qingyan and said softly, "Have each team immediately guard each entrance and exit of the town. No one is allowed to leave the town."
"Inspect all adult men. There are injuries on the right hand and missing fingers on the left hand. Arrest them immediately."
Ye Qingyan ran out quickly.
Ye Xing asked the junior official to find all the neighbors here and stand in a row.
Ye Xing faced everyone and asked seriously, "Is there any noise late last night? Or something like a barking dog?"
Everyone did not dare to speak, and everyone lowered their heads. Only one bold middle-aged man shook his head and said, "It seems that I didn't hear any unusual noises and no dogs barked all night."
Ye Xing walked to the entrance of the back alley and saw some blood stains that were still red, and only a little bit of blood was seen a long way away. Behind the alley was another street, and there was no blood stain on the street.
Ye Xing said: "After the murderer left the alley, he probably stopped bleeding or got on a horse or carriage and left."
Ye Qingyan took out a piece of cotton for bandaging from the horse, cut off a small piece, and stained it with blood on the windowsill.
Ask the officials to bring in a big dog, put a leash on it, let the dog smell the blood, and then let the dog trace it.
Surprisingly, the dog only walked a few steps along the bloodstains in the alley, then turned to look at the crowd.
Ye Xing immediately turned to look at the crowd, secretly holding a flying knife in his hand.
Leading the dog towards the crowd, the dog walked straight towards a wretched middle-aged man. The dog circled around the man, who looked inexplicably innocent.
Tang Xiaoshan raised his knife to the man and shouted loudly: "Raise your hands above your head!".
Several city guards stupidly surrounded this man, and the man had to raise his hands and said tremblingly:
"Sir, what's the matter?"
Ye Xing sneered, walked around the man, and stared at the man's hands;
As expected, the ring finger on the left hand was missing, and the right hand was bandaged with cloth.
Ye Xing sneered and said, "Tie this person up and send him to the government office. This person is a murderer!"
The man shouted that he was wronged, but the city guards ignored him and stepped forward to kidnap him.
Ye Xing asked Tang Xiaoshan to lead a team to escort him to the town government.
Ye Xing asked the junior officer to search the suspect's home with someone who recognized the person's residence, and sure enough, a short knife was found.
There was just no blood, so it must have been cleaned, but nothing else was found.
But when Ye Xing went to the town government, Tang Xiaoshan came over and reported that the murderer had died on the road. He was poisoned and had black blood flowing from his mouth. The poison was hidden in his teeth.
A murder case was somehow closed. As for whether there was any inside story, there is no proof now.
Ye Xing was a little stunned, but couldn't think of a way, so he had to stop there.
Ye Xing asked Tang Xiaoshan to hand over the investigation records to the mayor. He didn't even enter the town government office, and then went to find an inn to stay.
