Look at the mountains and rivers I have drawn

Chapter 722
Although he was imprisoned in the prison, butcher Zhang finally got his life back.

The veterinarian's examination results also came out. These cattle and sheep were indeed poisoned after drinking the river water outside the city.

The herdsmen both blamed themselves and felt angry, wishing to tear Butcher Zhang into pieces.

These cattle and sheep are the lifeblood of the herdsmen. It is really hard to tell what happened to suffer such a big loss this time.

Ye Yan broadcast some money from the treasury and sent someone to deliver it to the herdsmen.

The people were moved and calmed down.

Ye Yan told everyone that Zhang Tuhu may not be the murderer of this incident.

After the people were settled, Ye Yan interrogated Butcher Zhang.

"Honestly, you can say whatever your lord asks you." The officers and soldiers escorted him to kneel in front of Ye Yan.

"My lord, I will be lenient in the confession." Butcher Zhang cried.

Many animals were harmed by the river bank, and so many people suffered losses, Zhang Butcher also felt afraid.

The reaction of the people in the church today also made Butcher Zhang feel scared.

"Butcher Zhang, you said someone bought your rubbish, what does that person look like?" Ye Yan asked sharply.

"Sir, when that man saw me, he was wearing a black shirt and a black turban on his head. Only his two eyes were visible." Butcher Zhang replied honestly.

Chang Qing personally recorded what he said, and carefully observed his expression and demeanor, he didn't seem to be lying.

"Remember what?" Ye Yan frowned slightly.

"His voice is very hoarse, but now that I think about it, maybe he lowered his voice on purpose." Butcher Zhang was a little regretful.

"Did you say anything else?" Ye Yan asked again.

"He said that his home is outside the north gate of Nanli, and buying these things is useful for other purposes. I was dazzled by the money, so I didn't ask too much." The butcher explained.

Ye Yan pondered Zhang Tuhu's words carefully. If his words were true, then this person had premeditated plans from the beginning.

"You said, you moved your things to his car." Ye Yan suddenly remembered what the butcher said.

"That's right, he went west afterwards." Butcher Zhang tried hard to remember.

Right now, he wished he could catch that sneaky person and crush him to death with his own hands.

I could have happily renovated the new house at home and married a wife, but now I am caught up in this mess and completely ruined.

"By the way, my lord, that man has a scar on his right eye." Butcher Zhang added.

Ye Yan's eyes suddenly turned, which was a clue.

"Take him, let's go and investigate." Ye Yan got up and left the dungeon.

Changqing and his men took Butcher Zhang all the way and looked for him in the direction he said.

Along the way, a lot of rubbish was indeed found along the way, and it was confirmed that it belonged to Zhang Tuhu's house.

This also proves that Tuhu Zhang did not lie about this matter, but it cannot be ruled out that Tuhu Zhang is in partnership with others.

Fortunately, Zhang Tuhu didn't use too much force when he closed the lid of the bucket, otherwise these marks would not have been left.

Walking all the way to the end, I also found the cart that Butcher Zhang had mentioned. The traces on it and the depth of the wheels pressed down on it showed that someone had been here not long ago.

"Butcher Zhang, if you are honest, now your suspicion has been cleared by three points. Next, you can follow Mr. Ye to investigate the case." Changqing reminded from the side.

"Thank you sir, I will do my best..." Butcher Zhang was ecstatic.

"Okay, don't do your best. This matter has nothing to do with you. If you don't quickly help the adults find that person, there will still be no good fruit to eat." Changqing kept a straight face aside, and the sharpness in his tone made him feel a little fear.

"Don't worry, I will follow you honestly." Butcher Zhang thanked Dade.

According to Zhang Tuhu's description, he searched around the city for a whole day but found no clues.

As the evening approached, Ye Yan and the others finally made a discovery.

Ye Yan led a small team along the river to search for clues. There were some rubbish washed up by the river on the river bank.

As he walked closer, he could still smell the pungent smell, and Ye Yan's anger grew even stronger.

He never thought that someone would dare to do such a destructive thing in Nanli City.

The river water is the source of life for Nanli, and his intention is to destroy Nanli.

Nothing was left by the river, but Ye Yan found a few footsteps by the weeds by the river.

"It seems that no matter how cautious he is, there are still times when he is cautious." Ye Yan sneered.

Chang Qing and Ye Yan carefully checked the steps, and roughly outlined the figure of the man.

I also compared all the information about Zhang Tuhu carefully, and it was indeed not him.

The footprints on the bank, together with Ye Yan and Chang Qing's analysis, matched the person Zhang Tuhu described.

"Zhang Tuhu, now I believe that you didn't do it." Ye Yan walked in front of Zhang Tuhu.

"Sir, is it true? I am finally innocent." Butcher Zhang's eyes were red with excitement again.

"However, don't get too excited. According to your confession, you transported these things out of the city?" Ye Yan asked back.

Butcher Zhang lowered his head instantly: "Yes, my lord, the little man is guilty."

Ye Yan ordered the prohibition of rotten meat from entering and leaving the city, fearing that these things would affect the health of the people of Nanli.

"Do you know how much damage these things of yours can easily cause when piled together!" Ye Yan raised his voice a little.

"Xiao Min knew it was wrong!" Butcher Zhang quickly knelt down.

If these rotten meats are not handled properly, they will deteriorate if piled together. In severe cases, they will cause plague.

The more Ye Yan thought about it, the more afraid he became. At the same time, he also realized that there was a problem in the defense of the city gate.

"We will settle your affairs slowly later, including the person who helped you get out of the city, I will deal with them one by one!" Ye Yan said sternly.

Butcher Zhang knew he had made a big mistake, he was ashamed of the people of Nanli, no matter how he was punished, he would admit it.

"Let the adults handle the little people." Butcher Zhang kowtowed.

Seeing his sincere attitude, Ye Yan's anger dropped a bit.

After searching all over Nanli, they couldn't find that person. Ye Yan's patience was exhausted bit by bit.

But he knew that he had to calm down. The enemy was in the dark and he was in the light. That man was determined to destroy Nanli.

After a busy day, even though they were exhausted, the people in the yamen did not relax in the slightest.

Ye Yan tried his best to look for clues everywhere, how dare they take it lightly.

At this moment, something unexpected happened, and everyone fell into uneasiness.

After Ye Yan and the others rested for a while, they found that the river had turned red, staining the surrounding city walls red.

The entire riverside turned a strange red color, Ye Yan was full of doubts, and felt a deep sense of uneasiness in his heart.
