Midnight watch.
While people were sleeping, a horse came out of the Yuzhu County Yamen and headed straight for Dingyuan County.
As soon as it dawned, Magistrate Ma and several detectives waited at Lu Shaoze's door.
He already knew Lu Shaoze's identity. His Majesty personally appointed him as the commander of the White Tiger Guard, a third-rank official in the imperial court!
Although this matter seems a bit ridiculous to be true, the facts are right in front of you and you can’t believe it.
As a county official, he just needs to keep his attitude and follow others to handle the case, and he won't ask too much about anything else.
Crunch~
at this time.
As the door opened, Lu Shaoze, fully dressed, appeared in front of everyone.
"Good morning, Mr. Ma."
"Your Majesty, please see Commander Lu. Breakfast has been prepared in the front yard. Please move on."
Who would have thought that when faced with Magistrate Ma’s sincere invitation, Mr. Lu would directly reject it?
"It's not necessary to have a meal. I'm going to visit the place where the incident occurred today. Will Magistrate Ma go too?"
It's not that he doesn't give Magistrate Ma face, it's because Lu Shaoze knows the food of this world.
Taite’s taste is terrible!
Only barbecue, pastries and the like are acceptable.
All the food he ate at the restaurant last night was steamed, and he didn't want to eat any more today.
When he refused, Magistrate Ma was not surprised.
It makes sense that the nobles in the capital are not used to eating coarse grains from the mountains!
But when faced with Lu Shaoze's inquiry, Magistrate Ma shook his head and said:
"The lower official is in poor health and cannot ride a horse, so I won't hold you back. However, these few are all good men in the county. How about letting them follow you?"
"good."
Lu Shaoze responded and took the lead to step out.
The others saw this and quickly followed behind.
Only Magistrate Ma stayed in place, with deep worry flashing in his eyes!
I'm still young, I hope I'm not a dictatorial person!
Otherwise, Yuzhou Prefecture may be in trouble~
…
the other side.
In fact, there were not many people going with Lu Shaoze this time.
There were only six people.
Only two of the six people had martial arts skills.
They are still in the second-grade realm.
One can imagine how powerful Yuzhu County has been.
They are just a few people leading the way, whether they have strength or not does not matter.
In this way, the eight horses galloped out of the city.
Yingguan Road heads north towards Ningyuan County.
The place where the incident occurred was on the official road between the two counties, on the boundary of a tree-covered area.
Close to Yuzhu County.
A group of eight people arrived here just as the sun was rising overhead.
However, looking at the official road with people coming and going in front of him, the corners of Lu Shaoze's mouth couldn't help but twitch.
Thousands of people died and more than three million taels of tax money were lost, but the road was not closed?
But he also knows that road closures are simple, but can have serious consequences.
After all, this is official!
So after a few curse words in his mind, he turned his gaze to his surroundings.
There are still sporadic blood stains on the official road, and there are also marks of corpses or ruts around it.
On both sides are towering trees.
Nothing else.
Lu didn't believe in evil, so he took Fuji and dismounted and searched around.
But except for a meter-long rut mark on the east side, there are no other useful clues!
The main reason was that he arrived too late. .
"Hey, come here."
"Sir, what are your orders?"
"Through this dense forest to the east, what's behind?"
"My lord, through the dense forest is a small stream flowing from Quanzhou through Yuzhou, called Yuxi."
Having said this, the detective paused and continued to add:
"Sir, after the incident, we searched all over Yuxi River, but there was no trace."
Some words don't need to be stated clearly, Lu Shaoze naturally understands what he means.
He didn’t continue to ask, but changed the topic and asked:
"What about Simeon?"
"Sir, there are more places to the west. Ten miles to the west is Qingzhu Town, which has eight villages under its jurisdiction.
To the south are the big and small Ning villages, to the north are the big and small bamboo villages, and to the west..."
"Wait, Xiaozhu Village is also nearby?"
Lu Shaoze asked the police officer and looked back at Fuji.
Didn’t Fuji say last night that the person who received the letter was none other than the villagers of Xiaozhu Village!
Is this a coincidence?
Fuji nodded, and the policeman responded:
"Yes, sir, Xiaozhu Village is a little far away from here, about fifty miles to the northwest."
"Let's go to Xiaozhu Village."
There is a rut mark of about one meter on the east side. It looks like it was left by the robbers in a hurry and they did not have time to clean it up.
But who can know whether they did it on purpose?
The purpose is to let the pursuers go east, but in fact they are hiding in the west?
Of course, there is another possibility.
But no matter what the possibility is, Xiaozhu Village must be visited.
At the very least, we should see if we can find out anything from the dead man!
"Drive~"
…
And just when Lu Shaoze and others were on their way to Xiaozhu Village, Guan Hai also caught up with the escort team outside Ningyuan County!
However, he was not in a hurry to show up, but slowly observed the ruts of the escort team.
Three minutes into the ground, there must be heavy objects in the car!
Recalling what Mr. Lu told him last night: "If you encounter something heavy, just stop the road and inspect it!"
Although Guan Hai didn't know what kind of medicine Lu Shaoze was selling in his gourd.
But this investigation is mainly focused on others, and he is happy to cooperate!
Thinking of this, Guan Hai tapped his toes and crossed the escort team to block the middle of the road.
Then with a flick of his official uniform, the Blood Tiger Order belonging to the White Tiger Guard appeared in his hand.
"The White Tiger Guard is handling the case, stop!"
"Xu~"
Seeing the person coming, the leader, an eight-foot-tall black-faced man, immediately reined in his horse and stopped.
They may not know what officials in the DPRK and the Central Government are like, but the White Tiger Guards are like thunder!
After all, this yamen was built to supervise the martial arts world!
"Yang Wanli from Wanli Escort Bureau has met Mr. White Tiger Guard."
The black-faced man thrust his spear into the ground on his back, then dismounted and bowed respectfully.
Then he asked a little strangely:
"Sir, our Wanli Escort Agency is doing serious business and we don't usually do anything harmful to nature. What do you mean?"
"Whether it's serious or not, I have to see it with my own eyes. Open the box!"
Guan Hai snorted, and at the same time he held the sword at his waist.
The main reason is that the Yang Wanli in front of me is not simple, he is actually an innate master!
Although it was only the early stage of Xiantian, Guan Hai did not want to capsize in the gutter.
And there were at least twenty escort cars behind him.
And each escort car is equipped with five large boxes.
Coupled with the large number of people in front of him, there is no room for Guan Hai to be careless!
Yang Wanli was a little confused when he saw that the White Tiger Guard in front of him showed signs of taking action.
The contents in his box are all other people's gold and silver, so how can he show them to others?
Each line has its own rules, and since you have received the deposit, the box must not be opened!
After all, no one can guarantee whether the sound will leak out after opening the box and cause accidents to you, right? ?
