Daming King of Punishment

This mountain forest is not very big, and it took a while to reach a place not far from the front of the mountain.

"Wow!"

Suddenly, there was a roar from ahead, and everyone stopped.

"What's the sound?" Situ Yi immediately asked forward. "Is it a wolf?"

"Uncle, I'm afraid it's not the sound of a wolf, but a large dog. I'm afraid there are not only wild animals in this forest, but also people here." Song Wuya said with a smile on his face.

Although the voice sounded scary, to Song Wuya's ears, that one was really wonderful.

When he said this, the imperial envoy at the side was also startled: "Are you talking about a mastiff?"

"Huh! It seems that the imperial envoy has seen this kind of dog before!" Song Wuya thought that these people would not know the existence of this mastiff, but the imperial envoy made sure of it.

Seeing that he was right, the Imperial Envoy immediately said proudly: "Hey! I saw it, it is very fierce. It is still a Tibetan tribute to the emperor. It is a huge reminder. Let alone a wolf, even a tiger can kill it."

These words may sound a bit exaggerated, but this Tibetan mastiff is extremely ferocious, it can easily bite off a person's neck.

After listening to the conversation between Song Wuya and the imperial envoy, Situ Yi immediately shouted: "Everyone search carefully, don't miss any clues."

In the mountains, everyone responded one after another, and Song Wuya also left here again, walking to the front of the crowd.When he came to Lao Zhang's third son again, they had almost reached the bottom of the mountain.

At this moment, the third child twitched his nose a few times and frowned.

"My lord, do you smell something?" He turned his head to look at Song Wuya, and asked suspiciously.

Seeing his serious face, Song Wuya immediately stopped and looked at Bai Zhuo beside him: "Brother Bai, did you smell something?"

Bai Zhuo frowned and said, "It seems to be a bad smell."

Song Wuya nodded, immediately twitched his nose, sniffed a few times, and immediately felt a faint stench in the air.

"Take a big look around, the source of the smell should be nearby." He walked towards a bush in front of him as he spoke.

The people around heard this and immediately looked around.In just a blink of an eye, someone shouted: "Come here and have a look, there seems to be something wrong here."

Upon hearing this, Song Wuya and the others immediately ran over, and when they saw that place, they immediately frowned.The official pointed to a pile of gravel behind the bushes and said.

There are no traces of wind and rain on the gravel, but it is very brand new, as if it has just been dug out of the mountain.The strangest thing is that under these stones, there is actually a piece of loess, not grass, which is incompatible with the surrounding ground.

"Others continue to search, let's move the stones here." Song Wuya said, first he asked the servant at the side for a knife, and cut down the bushes in front of him.

Several people immediately stepped on the soft soil under their feet and began to clean up the stones above.These stones are not big, each one weighs more than ten or twenty catties, and after a short time, the soil underneath is exposed.

The soil made Song Wuya see at a glance that something must be buried here.And as the stone was moved away, the stench became more clear and variable.

"The corpse stinks!" Song Wuya frowned and said, "There should be a corpse buried here, find something to dig it up."

Following Song Wuya's instructions, the officials immediately dug up the soil.And at this moment, Situ Yi and the others who followed behind also came here.The Imperial Envoy covered his mouth and nose and came over, looked at Song Wuya and asked, "Wuya, why are you so ugly, did you find a dead body?"

He also knew that in this mountain forest, there were only corpses that could have such a smelly thing.Song Wuya nodded, sighed and said, "The corpse has been dead for a few days, and the temperature has been high recently, so it has already rotted."

A few people came to the front, turned around and vomited immediately with just one glance.In a pit with a diameter of three meters, there are piles of dead bodies.If they were just corpses, it wouldn't make them sick to this extent.And in this pit, all the stumps were buried, and all the corpses were dismembered.

"Second brother!" Suddenly exclaimed, the old man's third son threw himself into the corpse pit, took out a head and cried loudly.

"As expected." Song Wuya said helplessly, it seems that many of the villagers who were taken away had already died.

All of a sudden, the third child suddenly became ruthless and rushed towards Zhang Hui.

"You dog official! Give back the life of my elder brother and second brother!"

"Hurry up and take this person!" Zhang Hui panicked, and hurriedly backed away, almost not falling down from here.

The officer at the side immediately stepped forward to stop the third child, but the third child was still mad, holding a head and roaring loudly.

Seeing this, the Imperial Envoy was very surprised, and hurriedly turned his head to look at Situ Yi who was beside him, wanting to seek an explanation.And Situ Yi was also very angry at this moment. He looked at the third child's crazy look, and his heart felt as if a knife had been twisted in his heart. He suddenly said behind the scenes: "Come on! Take Zhang Hui down for me!"

"Lord Situ, why did you take down County Magistrate Zhang?" The imperial envoy was stunned immediately. He watched the villager rush towards Zhang Hui in a frenzy, and at this moment he heard Situ Yi's roar again. How could he know what was going on? What happened.

?Chapter 51 The Wild Devil's Lair

How could Situ Yi care about explaining this to the imperial envoy at this moment, and let the official envoy on the side take down Zhang Hui.

Zhang Hui was terrified, and looked at Situ Yi in horror. How could he just give in like this, and shouted out his injustice: "Lord Situ! You can't treat me like this! I will definitely give you a copy from the emperor! No, no ! Your Excellency, you have to save this official! This official has been wronged!"

Hearing Zhang Hui's roar, the imperial envoy was even more surprised, and immediately turned to look at Situ Yi with an angry face.

But Situ Yi didn't seem to notice it at all, pointing to Zhang Hui's nose and scolding: "Zhang Hui, don't you plead guilty yet? Your yamen servants carried out huge projects in the nearby villages and counties overnight, and forced the recruitment of strong men. .Now all the strong men you conscripted have come to such a miserable end, why do you feel wronged?"

It can be said that he directly cited Zhang Hui's criminal evidence, and at the same time explained to the imperial envoy why he wanted to take Zhang Hui down.

Hearing Situ Yi's words, the imperial envoy's face suddenly changed. He looked at Situ Yi angrily just now, and then glared at Zhang Hui who was aside: "What is said by Master Situ is the truth? As a local parent official, why are you so angry?" Treat your people like this?"

"Master Imperial Envoy, I am wronged, I don't know about these things!" How could Zhang Hui admit that, if he admits to the matter in front of him, does he still have a chance to survive?

Seeing Zhang Xin crying like this, the imperial envoy frowned, and then waved his hand: "Forget it, Lord Situ, everything is up to you. I am here only according to the emperor's order, and I am here to track down the whereabouts of the official silver." Yes. I have no right to interfere with other matters."

Apparently, the imperial envoy also saw the strangeness of this matter, and it was difficult for him to make a judgment for a while, so he had to make a haha ​​and let this matter just pass away.

Naturally, Situ Yi would not try Zhang Hui here, so he immediately nodded to the imperial envoy, turned around and told the officials: "Take County Magistrate Zhang into custody first, and conduct a detailed investigation after the search of this mountain forest is completed. The rest of you, immediately take down the yamen servants brought by County Magistrate Zhang and wait for interrogation."

It can be said that this matter was done in detail. He arranged it this way, so he was naturally unwilling to let a fish slip through the net.Song Wuya also knew why Situ Yi did this. After all, the whole thing happened after dusk, and Zhang Hui hadn't come forward, so there was obviously not enough evidence to convict Zhang Hui because of this, so these government officials On the contrary, it has become the most important thing.

Looking at the scene in front of them, everyone couldn't help but feel sore in their hearts.Such a tragic situation for such a good person, people can't help but feel compassion in their hearts.

"Quickly look around for the same suspicious place, and find all the young men who have been taken away. Even if they are corpses, you have to take them back so that their relatives can bury them in peace." Situ Yi said loudly issuing orders.

Seeing such a situation, the people around looked disgusted, but Song Wuya didn't show any disgust. Instead, he walked over slowly and comforted the third child: "Death cannot be resurrected, you But you have to be sad and change. Think about your elderly father in your family, if you have something wrong again, how can you let him live?"

While comforting, Song Wuya looked down at the incision on the head, the neat cut, it can be seen that the head was chopped off with a single knife.This kind of hand strength alone is rare. It seems that these killers are well-trained, and they are definitely not ordinary rookies.

"Everyone, be extra careful and pay close attention to any suspicious movements around you." Thinking of this, Song Wuya hurriedly reminded them.

If those killers are still in the mountains, just surround them like this, and if they fight to the death, many people will suffer accordingly.

He looked at Bai Zhuo at the side, and hurried over. At this moment, he didn't want Bai Zhuo to be alone in this dangerous place.

"My lord, I found several caves ahead! Some people have been active here recently."

Soon the officials in front reported what they had found. Sure enough, as the third child said, there is a real cave here, and there are traces of people alive, which is enough to explain all this.It seems that the truth of the matter is about to surface, and it won't be long before the whole secret mystery can be solved.

Song Wuya immediately walked to the front quickly, and immediately saw the so-called cave.The opening of the cave is very large, and the space inside is also very large.And the light conditions inside are still very good, but after entering the inside, I found that the cave is still very deep.

"Everyone must not separate, search together, and respond with shouts every few hundred." Song Wuya gave Situ Yi's orders here.
