In the 26th year of Liang Mu's reign, he lived in Taiping County, Yunzhou.
The reason why Taiping County is named Taiping County is that there have never been any serious cases since the county was established, and even petty thefts are rare. The people live and work in peace and contentment, with adequate food and clothing. It is a model county town that has long been famous in Daliang Kingdom.
Half a month ago, a scream broke the peaceful sky in Taiping County.
"Dead people...Liu Dashan's family has been wiped out..." A thin man shouted while running.
The county government officials quickly cordoned off the scene and took away a man wearing a hood. The people watching the excitement began to speculate about the man's identity.
It's June now, and the scorching summer heat makes the prison smell linger for a long time.
"The sun is shining in the sky, and the flowers are... confused..." A strange song sounded from the deepest cell of Taiping County Prison.
Yan Jingyuan looked around with wide eyes in confusion. He saw the uneven walls and the thatch scattered on the ground. He was wearing a prison uniform, which was covered in blood. He felt pain when he moved slightly.
"What's going on?" Yan Jingyuan patted his forehead and couldn't remember what happened.
"Aren't I preparing for the college entrance examination? Why did I end up in a place like this? Spy? Silent script killing?"
Yan Jingyuan stood up, patted the cell, then picked up the big lock on the cell door and took a look.
"Real style..." Yan Jingyuan's heart sank, and an unknown premonition arose in his heart.
"Hmph, look, everyone, the thief is awake!"
Just when Yan Jingyuan was confused, a cold and disdainful voice sounded.
Yan Jingyuan looked up and saw people standing around the cage. They were all wearing prison uniforms and looking at him fiercely.
"Everyone...do we have any misunderstanding? Why are you looking at me like this?" Yan Jingyuan swallowed and asked softly.
"Humph, you wolf-hearted thief, how can you be so shameless? Liu Dashan is such a good person, but you cruelly slaughtered his whole family, bah... you bastard! If it weren't for this prison, I would have to tear you alive!"
As soon as he finished speaking, all the prisoners started beating the cage and yelling curses at Yan Jingyuan.
"This..." Yan Jingyuan began to retreat unconsciously until he hit the wall behind him.
"Everyone...everyone...what did you say I did just now?" Yan Jingyuan asked stammering.
"You slaughtered Liu Dashan's entire family, one hundred and twenty-seven people!!!"
"I slaughtered Liu Dashan's entire family, one hundred and twenty-seven people???"
"right!"
"Who?"
"you!"
"What's wrong with me?"
"You slaughtered Liu Dashan's entire family!!!"
Yan Jingyuan opened his mouth in surprise, his head suddenly felt dizzy, and some pictures appeared in his mind.
He held his head in pain and was forced to accept the integration of these memories with himself.
"Daliang Kingdom? Liang Mu's twenty-sixth year? I...I traveled through time?" After a long time, Yan Jingyuan murmured in disbelief.
"I killed someone? No...impossible. In my memory, I was just a weak scholar. I didn't even dare to kill a chicken. How could I kill someone?" Yan Jingyuan automatically blocked the curses around him and recalled carefully.
The time and space he traveled through is different from the original time and space, and the owner of this body is also named Yan Jingyuan, a native of Taiping County. He is a student with average family conditions. Both his parents died in his early years. Liu Dashan has been sponsoring his studies.
In his heart, Liu Dashan was equivalent to his reborn parents, and it was impossible for him to kill his family due to emotion or reason.
A month ago, Chunlai County, fifty miles away to the west of the city, surrounded and suppressed a group of bandits who robbed the road down the Qingliang Mountain. Due to the large number of people, Chunlai County Prison could not detain them, so some of them were escorted to Taiping County.
This group of bandits from Qingliang Mountain is very powerful. It is said that there are no less than a thousand people, and they are famous throughout Yunzhou.
Although these bandits are bandits, they still have a good reputation among the people. They kill the rich and give to the poor, and they are charitable.
But the bandits are bandits after all, and they are ultimately on the opposite side of the court.
Everything started with the transfer of these bandits.
More than a month ago, the Taiping County Magistrate went to Liu's house to meet Liu Dashan. It happened that Yan Jingyuan was at Liu's house, and the content of the conversation between the two was also known to Yan Jingyuan.
It turned out that the Taiping County Magistrate somehow learned that Liu Dashan was secretly connected with these bandits.
Although the county magistrate was a little angry, Liu Dashan had a good image in the hearts of the people in Taiping County, and it was difficult to accuse him without any real evidence.
With no choice but to inform the Liu family secretly, until these bandits are brought to justice, the Liu family must avoid suspicion and cannot go out without permission.
Yan Jingyuan sighed and said, "Although I am not the original person, I should find out the real murderer and avenge Mr. Liu and the Liu family, both emotionally and rationally."
Thinking of this, he began to analyze the case based on his own experience. As a senior script killing player, his reasoning about the case was better than that of some private detectives.
As he slowly closed his eyes, he suddenly felt the scene change. He appeared on the night half a month ago, surrounded by lively streets.
"This... this is so amazing. How could this happen?" Yan Jingyuan was shocked beyond measure. This scene was too real. The shouts of sellers on both sides of the street and the smell of the food in the restaurant were all perfectly reflected.
Just when he was shocked, a voice sounded behind him.
["Brother Yan, we have been studying for a long time today, how about you and I go have a glass of wine to relax a little bit?"]
Yan Jingyuan turned around when he heard the sound, only to see his other self chatting with someone. It felt as if he was standing outside, watching himself in another time and space.
The person he was talking to was Wang Lin, who was also a student.
["Although drinking is good, I've just been feeling shy lately..." Yan Jingyuan said sheepishly. ]
"It's okay, it's okay. How dare I ask Brother Yan to spend a little money. I happen to have some knowledge and want to ask Brother Yan for advice. How about today's wine money be used as my tuition?" Wang Lin said with a respectful attitude. ]
["Then...then I would rather obey my orders out of respect. Brother Wang, please..."]
Yan Jingyuan watched "himself" and Wang Lin go away with a sneer on his face, and then followed him.
In the blink of an eye, the scene changed again, and it was already in the restaurant. "I" was changing glasses with Wang Lin. The two were talking and laughing, sometimes discussing poems, sometimes discussing, and the atmosphere was full of joy.
Yan Jingyuan just watched silently. The whole thing was normal and there was nothing wrong with it.
His eyes focused on Wang Lin, and he saw every move, glance and smile he made.
"Wait...this wine jug..." Suddenly, Yan Jingyuan's eyes stopped on the wine jug.
As his thoughts changed, the scene suddenly froze, and except for him, everyone and everything remained still.
