C479 Let's go together

"Constable Head Huo, it's bad. Something has happened. A murder case has occurred at the West Street entrance! The Lord wants you to come over immediately. " Just as Huo Dong walked into the yamen, he was still curiously looking around when a yamen runner walked over.

Huo Dong was startled, what was this?

He really wanted to say, "I'm here to study the Jade Seal Scripture. What does the murder case have to do with me?"

However, after thinking for a while, he looked at his clothes, nodded, and said, "Lead the way!"

West street, it belonged to a bustling area of this small city.

Most of the people living here were merchants, wealthy merchants.

Actually, in this city, the status of a merchant was not very high.

However, this place belonged to the rich and established district.

At the east end of the street, there were a few famous families, famous book families, as well as some government officials' manors.

At the West Street entrance, there were mainly merchants and wealthy families.

When Huo Dong and the yamen runners rushed to the West Street entrance, the scene had already been touched.

On the ground, a corpse lay on a broken mat. It was a man in linen robes. He looked to be in his twenties.

At the West Street entrance, it was obvious that this was the son of a rich family.

Next to the corpse was an elderly man with a beard who was currently examining the corpse.

Huo Dong frowned. Seems like this old man should be a coroner or something.

Not far away from the corpse, there was a small crown. Under the crown, there was a middle-aged man dressed in an official robe.

At this moment, he was holding a cup of tea, occasionally taking a sip and occasionally glancing at the corpse.

Seeing that Huo Dong had arrived, the man waved his hand, signaling Huo Dong to go over.

"My lord!" Huo Dong could not remember, but he still called him Master.

The middle-aged man was stunned and asked curiously, "My younger brother was always called Big Brother by Big Brother. Why did he suddenly have an affair with me? Could it be that Big Brother, I have done something wrong? "

Huo Dong was startled, and immediately laughed: "Big … "Big brother, no, I drank too much yesterday. I'm not completely awake yet."

"Brother, you're acting a bit strange today. Forget it, let's get down to business. This corpse was discovered this morning and was flogged to death. The victim's name is Yang Laojiu, he's a rich person of his generation."

"This matter has caused a lot of people in the city to panic. Younger Brother, you must solve this case as soon as possible!" The county magistrate had a stern expression and a righteous spirit.

"Yes, milord."

"Alright, then I'll head back first. The magistrate court still has a lot of matters to attend to, so if you need anything, inform me immediately." Zhixian stood up and turned away.

"Yes, my lord!" Huo Dong agreed loudly.

Zhi Xia looked at Huo Dong strangely, but he did not say much and walked away.

Huo Dong was secretly pleased with himself, he did not expect that he could deceive her like this, he was truly glad.

Walking to the corpse's side, Huo Dong took a look at the corpse. On the corpse, the whip marks were very obvious, the skin and flesh was cut open, this was clearly not the result that could be created in a short period of time.

The coroner at the side said, "Constable Head Huo, this man was beaten to death. How tragic!"

"I can tell, is there any other useful information?"

To return to Constable Head, the feet of the dead have a kind of red mud. This red mud is very special, only the rich could have this red mud. The coroner quickly said.

Huo Dong looked up at him and nodded silently.

Actually, to him, it was a piece of cake for him to solve this case.

After releasing the psychic superpower, Huo Dong went through Yang Lao Jiu's memories once.

Although some memories were blurry, there were still some memories that remained only fragments.

However, the most crucial part of his memories hadn't been lost at all.

He was beaten to death by a member of the Zhang Clan at the eastern end of the street.

The reason was simple. The Zhang Clan wanted to buy his land, but he refused.

Old Master Zhang then ordered that Yang Lao Jiu was beaten to death.

This Old Master Zhang was a well-known figure in the small city. His big brother was a well-known figure in the prefectures, so he was not afraid.

In actuality, in the small city, this Old Master Zhang was a character who walked unhindered. Even if he knew the county, he still had to give him three points.

It really wasn't a big deal for Old Master Zhang to beat them to death.

In the words of Master Zhang, if someone above me was here, who would dare to do anything to him?

In Old Yang's memories, there were still some dirty things Master Zhang did. Gradually, an unspeakable anger condensed in Huo Dong's chest.

Looking at the ugly expression on Huo Dong's face, many people's eyes flickered.

At this time, a constable quickly walked over and said: "Constable Head, Yang Jiu's case, the matter is rather complicated. I think we should first return to the yamen and discuss about it in detail before making any plans."

Huo Dong looked at him, and as his perception swept across it, his heart immediately became clear.

This fellow, he also had a little friendship with the Zhang Clan.

The so-called friendship was a small favor from the Zhang Clan. Afterwards, they would help the Zhang Clan take care of a small matter that they could not see.

Huo Dong frowned, he thought for a while and said: "Alright, let the brothers return, I already know who the culprit is. Let's discuss how to capture them! "

The constable was startled, then asked: "Constable Head, you already know about it?"

"Yes, it's the Zhang Family at the corner of East Street." Huo Dong said with certainty.

The constable's heart jumped as he said: "Constable Head, you should know about the Zhang Family, right?"

Huo Dong pretended not to understand and asked: "What do you know? I don't know. "

"Then... Lord Constable Head, let's return to the yamen first. When we arrive at the yamen, I will explain in detail to you. " The constable quickly said.

Huo Dong nodded his head, one hand on his waist blade, he waved his hand and said: "Bring the corpse back to the yamen, let's go."

Soon, all the constables in the small city gathered in the yamen.

Huo Dong looked at the crowd and said: "Brothers, Yang Laojiu is dead. He was actually beaten to death in our small city, and the murderer was Master Zhang of the Zhang family. I am going to capture him, what do you say?"

The expressions on the faces of the constables were truly marvelous.

Someone had purposely ignored him and moved his fingers here and there, making life difficult for him.

Some people had confused expressions on their faces, as if they had not woken up from a dream.

Some of them immediately whispered to the people around them, as if everything had nothing to do with them.

Huo Dong looked at him coldly as he felt a wave of speechlessness in his heart.

At this time, Constable Head Chen Gang, who was talking to Huo Dong previously, cupped his fists and said: "Constable Head, you have just arrived at Lu City, do you have some things I don't know if I should say?"

"Speak."

Yes, Lord Constable Head, in this Lu City, there is a person who is known as Little Zhi County. He is a benevolent, righteous, and compassionate person, and is known by all in the capital.

"I think that since Master Zhang has such a family background, he would definitely not beat someone to death. Maybe it's the servants, in order to curry favor with Master Zhang, accidentally beat them to death. We have also seen this before, we must take down the servants, and let Master Zhang give the Yang family some compensation."

"What do you think?" After Chen had finished talking, all the constables nodded in agreement.
