Chapter 46 Sentencing
But in the early morning, when it was almost dawn, Yan Hao couldn't laugh anymore.He was woken up by the noise of people, and saw a place outside the window where flames were rising into the sky, and thick smoke was billowing. After a little identification, the fire started on the east side of the town. The fire had already started to spread, and many people were fighting the fire.

Yan Hao recalled that this location was near Li Zhao's house, and he hoped that their house didn't catch fire.

After putting on his clothes, Yan Hao hurried out of the inn and ran towards Li Zhao's house on the east side.But the closer he got, his heart sank. Soon he saw Li Zhao's house, and saw the raging fire burning the whole house. Water can put out.

He asked a few people, and they all said that no one saw Li Zhao, or his family members. From time to time, some people were crying bitterly. They seemed to be his relatives and friends, and they seemed to think that the couple was in trouble.

Yan Hao also joined the firefighting team, which lasted until dawn, when the flames gradually extinguished. He watched the people around him enter the fire scene and carry out the charred bodies one after another. He no longer had any hope in his heart.However, he found that there were a lot of corpses, 9 corpses, but Yan Hao knew last night that only Li Zhao and his wife were in Li Zhao's house. Who were the others?
Yan Hao stepped forward to identify them, but wherever he could see, they were all charred corpses of humanoid shapes. Apart from barely knowing the height, height, fatness and thickness of men and women, he couldn't identify anything else at all.

At this moment, many women and men cried bitterly at the corpse. Yan Hao didn't understand, so he approached to find out what was going on, but upon hearing it, he discovered something strange.

It turned out that Li Zhao called many arresters to his home last night, saying that he had something to order, but all of them never came back. Now that a bunch of people died in the arrester's house, he immediately knew that his men were arresting The leader's home was burned to death.

Yan Hao's mind turned over and over again, this matter is not that simple, one is that Li Zhao should not call people to come to his home to discuss matters, he just said last night that usually only talk about romance at home, not about business; the second That is, even if his house really caught fire, there is no reason for everyone to be buried in the sea of ​​flames. No one escaped. People who found the fire around said that the fire was very fierce from the beginning, and it felt like the whole house was burning.

It seems that this should be an intentional homicide.But I just don't know who was so mad and killed so many people.Could it be the people who were coming and going on his house last night?

Feeling extremely worried, Yan Hao went back to the inn and had breakfast, and then he was going to go back to his room to rest and wait for the judge's sentencing.

Just halfway through the meal, he saw his 'good neighbor' come out of the room yawning.

This man was tall, with a fair face, beardless, high nose, handsome appearance, and a little white face.Yan Hao looked at his dark circles, and secretly laughed in his heart, making you run around so happily on top of my head last night.

Xiaobailian sat at the side table carelessly, and called Xiaoer to bring him some food, but he didn't seem to notice that his silver taels were missing. At this moment, Yan Hao had a desire to watch a play, wondering if this guy would run away after eating the Overlord's meal.

Next, I drank tea slowly, looked around from time to time, and really found that many people from the rivers and lakes stayed and came and went in the inn, and it seemed that something special happened.At this moment, Yan Hao heard the word Overlord Meal.

The pretty boy was still making distinctions, and said in a slightly soft voice: "Didn't I tell you that my money was stolen, so I have no money? I really didn't mean it."

But how could the waiter know how to listen, as soon as he pulled her up, he wanted to let him go to see the official.

At this time, Yan Hao heard the voice, looked at his clothes, and looked at his neck. There was no Adam's apple. He suddenly felt that he was a woman disguised as a man, and thought of the news he heard from Capt. Li last night.Maybe this guy is the person they are looking for. A flash of inspiration flashed in Yan Hao's mind: When he decided to take action, he would treat it like casting a net to catch fish and gain something. If there was no harvest, it would be nothing.

Seeing that the two were still arguing, he said loudly: "Xiao Er, this brother's money will be credited to my account. Check it out."

Hearing Yan Hao's words, the waiter in the shop immediately grinned his yellow teeth, ran over with a grin, and said to Yan Hao: "This young master is really bold, plus his money for staying overnight, eating and drinking yesterday, and the guests Official, thank you, guest officer, the total is ten taels of silver."

"Well, here you are, if you have more, pack some dim sum and a roast chicken for me." Yan Hao took out twelve or three taels of silver to the waiter, and gave him another tael of silver as a reward, " Tip, go and come back, don't waste my time."

As soon as the little girl heard that there was a tip, she immediately responded happily: "Okay, this young master will wait for a while, and the little one will be right back."

The money was all from this little boy, and it was used to get her thanks, and it could be regarded as returning it to the original owner, but I don't know if she would beat Yan Hao violently after letting her know.

The little boy over there was also very polite, knowing that he had come to thank Yan Hao, he planned to leave, but Yan Hao stopped her: "I asked Xiaoer to pack something, you have no money in your pocket now, take some food, It’s also good to hurry.”

She was very moved when she heard that Yan Hao was so caring, and she was very grateful to Yan Hao.

"I don't know the name of my benefactor, but let me repay ten times the money I owe today."

"My name is Yan Hao. You don't need to pay back the money. When you go out, you will inevitably encounter difficulties. Just pay attention to it in the future. What's your name?"

"My name is Qin Lin, from Tianding County."

"Okay, Qin Lin, there will be a period later, I will go back to the room if I have something to do."

"There will be a period later."

Yan Hao smiled and said his name. There are still many things to deal with now, and he has no time to care about this little boy's business. It is already the limit to make a mess, so he bid farewell to her.

After the episode of breakfast, Yan Hao didn’t go there, he just waited for the news at the inn. Not long after, the yamen sent someone to call, but the yamen looked at Yan Hao strangely, as if he was something rare Like a treasure, he couldn't figure out why Yan Hao had such strong martial arts at such a young age, and had such courage, not only killing people like mowing grass, but also wielding a knife in corpses.

Yan Hao gave some broken silver, whichever Xuanzhao Yachai knew the result of the town official's sentence in advance. According to the town official's intention, these people who were killed were bandits, and he was rewarded with a hundred taels of silver for his meritorious service in killing the thieves.

He also knew that 8 arresters died last night, as well as Li catcher's wife, but one person disappeared. The Yamen is doing its best to investigate the case, hoping to find out the result as soon as possible.

When Yan Hao heard the news, he frowned, and his mind turned back and forth: "Last night, someone from the Black Sand Gang must have come to the town official to clear the air, so that the altar master of the Black Sand Gang will not be accused of using bows and arrows to kill people and steal money. The most scruples of the government is the leakage of the bow and arrow formations and the military formation. If the high-level officials know that the exiled soldiers actually become the altar masters of the Black Sand Gang and use bows and crossbows to do robbery, then the Black Sand Gang will not be wiped out. It's strange to help."

At this time, Yan Hao also knew that his name must have been recorded by the Black Sand Gang. He didn't know if they thought they would kill him to feel at ease, or if they ignored him and pretended that Yan Hao had not killed them, but it was best. If it's the latter, it would be dangerous if the Black Sand Gang would send experts to assassinate him.

And is it that these dead are all fast arresters?Why did the murderer kill them?

"Did they all go to the woods yesterday to investigate the robbery?"

"It seems to be. Four or five of them have gone, and I don't know about the others. Boy, let's go."

"Okay, let's go."

The yamen waiter got impatient, so he urged him loudly, and Yan Hao came to his senses, followed him immediately, followed the yamen's messenger back to the yamen, and waited for the sentencing.

Sure enough, it was the same as the verdict that Yan Hao knew in advance, not only did he get the credit for killing the thief, but he also returned all the goods.It was also dubbed the title of 'Heroes of Thieves'.Yan Hao felt a little worried when he heard this name: This name is simply killing him, isn't it to tell other bandits to come and kill him as a hero?
Moreover, this name is too ugly. The name of hero to eliminate thieves is not as good as the name of hero to eliminate weeds. It is better to keep a low profile as a person.

So Yan Hao immediately rejected the title, but he didn't know if the town official had received money and insisted on accepting the title, but he was not that stupid and refused to accept it, so in desperation, the town official had to give up.

The town official seemed a little disappointed, as if he didn't expect that the young boy in front of him didn't have a little bit of young people's escape and show off.

He also asked the town official about the fire in Li Zhaotou's home, but the town official refused to answer on the grounds that the case was confidential, and Yan Hao looked at his expression, it seemed that he didn't care about the death of the catcher, and even Li Zhao's death His death didn't move him, but the corners of his mouth turned up from time to time, as if he was in a good mood.

After leaving the yamen lobby, Yan Hao did not leave, but instead found the yamen servant who brought him here, and asked him where the corpses were parked, and the name of the author. He wanted to see if there was anything unusual about these corpses.

It was strange for the clerk to see Yan Hao being so enthusiastic, and he was a bit reluctant.

"I am a friend of Li Zhao's headhunter. I was eating at his house last night. His wife is the shopkeeper in my gourmet shop. I am very suspicious of their deaths now. I want to find out the truth. Big brother can be accommodating, let me also contribute."

Seeing Yan Hao's sincere expression, the clerk knew that he was probably not telling lies, and that he had been under the care of Catcher Li a lot in the past, but now that Catcher Li died, he also wanted to know what happened to Catcher Li's death. of?
"Okay, I'll take you there. I hope we can find out the cause of his death. I don't believe that a lot of people just died in the sea of ​​fire."

"Well, indeed, I don't believe it either. Li Zhao's house is not that big. No matter how big the fire is, a few people will escape from the flames. It is impossible for the entire army to be wiped out like this."

"Come on, come with me."

Under his leadership, the two arrived at the morgue in the Yamen smoothly. Yan Hao had already smelled the disgusting stench at the door, so they didn't pay much attention and went in without stopping.
