The system forced me to be emperor

Xiao Rui is not stupid, as soon as he heard Guo Jia's question, he knew what Guo Jia was talking about!

Why was there the sound of evil spirits pulling the chains the other night, but not last night?Is the devil on maternity leave?

If not, then it was because of other reasons, so Guo Jia immediately wondered, was it because of the fact that his party came, the hidden murderer noticed, so the midnight drama of the evil ghost pulling the chain was canceled?

Understanding Guo Jia's guess, Xiao Rui couldn't help secretly praising him for his flexibility and how fast he turned.

As soon as Meng Du left, Xiao Rui said: "Feng Xiao, do you suspect that there are spies in the yamen?"

Guo Jia nodded and said, "That's right! If the murderer really planted spies in the county government office, he would know all the activities in the county government office well. This would be a great move."

"Then who do you suspect?" Xiao Rui asked.

Guo Jiadao: "Although the county office is not big, it has all the internal organs. A middle county like Songyang County has hundreds of people. Up to the county magistrate and county magistrate, there are three classes and six houses, and there are men, Zaoli, grooms, etc. Wait, there are a lot of people coming and going, but only the upper echelons can grasp the news, so many people have been excluded. In addition, we just arrived yesterday, and we only got in touch with very few people, and we live in the county office. Those assistant officials didn’t even meet face-to-face, so those people were basically eliminated. In the end, the person worthy of our suspicion must be in this county government office, and he can get access to important information.”

Xiao Rui nodded, and said: "Those who meet this condition, now only the county magistrate Wu Biao, Meng Dutou and the teachers around the county magistrate are in the county government."

"No, Your Highness, there are more!" Guo Jia laughed.

"Who?" Xiao Rui asked.

Guo Jiadao: "The county magistrate's residence is just behind the county government office, and the two are connected. Wu Biao's wives and concubines cannot be ignored."

Suddenly, Xiao Rui said: "Yes, since ancient times, the wind on the pillow and the language on the bed are the sharpest!"

"Your Highness, I mentioned two methods yesterday. After I analyzed the gains and losses, I felt that it was too slow to wait. The initiative is in the hands of the murderer. It is better to adopt the second method, but the second method needs to be flexible. Why not talk to Wu Biao first? Clearly, if someone around Wu Biao is really the murderer's eyeliner, then the murderer will find out that we have found the truth. Then, the murderer must take advantage of the fact that the truth has not been announced, deal with us in advance, and even take the opportunity to create greater panic. Secondly, He will also speed up the implementation of the conspiracy to avoid more trouble. In this way, although we may be in some danger, we have the initiative in our own hands." Guo Jia said.

With Guo Jia by his side, Xiao Rui really lost his mind and said, "Okay, then follow Fengxiao's method!"

That afternoon, Guo Jia found Wu Biao and said that he had basically judged that the cause of death of the three deceased was man-made, not evil spirits, but no reliable evidence had been found.

Wu Biao was a little confused on the spot.

Didn't they say yesterday that there was no clue, and that it was suspected to be the work of evil spirits?

Wu Biao was also happy to play with his little concubine at night, so what about the most basic trust between people?

After listening to Guo Jia's narration, Wu Biao looked like he was widowed, and this time he was finished.

In the evening, when he came to the concubine's room again, he didn't have any other thoughts. Seeing that his expression was wrong, the concubine quickly rubbed his shoulders and asked side-by-side questions.

……

The third day in Songyang County.

Yesterday, I informed Wu Biao of the murderer's speculation. Unexpectedly, early this morning, the police quickly reported that there was a dilapidated brick kiln in the north of the county.

Wu Biao hurriedly got up from his concubine's jade arms, hurriedly led the guards and guards to rush, Xiao Rui and the others naturally followed.

Unexpectedly, before the murderer started to attack, there was an unexpected situation.

Chapter 302: Dian Wei is as brave as a tiger

The four of Xiao Rui followed Wu Biao out of the city, and came to a place five miles north of the county seat, where there was a deserted brick kiln, and there were no people around.

The kiln entrance of this brick kiln was sealed. In order to climb the mountain behind the brick kiln to collect medicine, the commoner and his companion stepped on the brick kiln. Unexpectedly, the brick kiln was old, and one of them fell into it, only to find the inside of the brick kiln. There were corpses everywhere, and his companion hurriedly rescued him with a rope, and then hurriedly reported to the police.

Meng Du climbed up to the official kiln, looked down from the top, and saw a large number of corpses in the brick kiln under the sunlight. After he came down to report to Wu Biao, Wu Biao couldn't help sighing. There was a dead body case, and I was really unlucky.

"Hurry up and open the brick cave!" Wu Biao gave the order angrily.

Meng Dutou immediately led people to hammer open the hole sealed with earth and rocks, and then inspected the scene, and Wu Zuo began to examine the remains.

Guo Jia also went in to have a look, and found that there was no evidence inside, and the corpses were all dry bones, which seemed to be very old.

In the end, after an autopsy, it turned out that there were eighteen skeletons, including men, women, old and young, and they had died seven or eight years ago.

Wu Biao frowned, unable to hide his joy. Seven years ago, he hadn't served in Songyang County, so this case happened while the former county magistrate was in office, and had little to do with him.

Eighteen lives, my situation is already very bad, if I come again, hum...

Xiao Rui and Guo Jia's expressions were solemn. These are eighteen lives. What kind of trick is there in this Songyang County, so many crimes are hidden.

With the further sorting out of the work, all the corpses in the brick kiln were cleaned out, and some clues were also found from the worn and rotten clothes on the bones.

Although the clothes were rotten, they were all made of high-quality silk, which meant that the deceased was either rich or expensive.

There are old and young, and the deceased was either rich or expensive during his lifetime?

Meng Dutou is from Hangzhou, and he has heard about what happened in Hangzhou. Eight years ago, didn't there be several kidnappings in Jinhua Prefecture?The kidnapped targets are all wealthy businessmen in Jinhua Mansion!

It is said that the families of those wealthy businessmen paid the ransom, but none of the kidnapped family members came back. It is suspected that the murderer took the money and tore up the tickets directly.

"My lord, these people are probably the corpses of the group of wealthy businessmen who were kidnapped in Jinhua Mansion eight years ago!" Meng Dutou said.

Wu Biao inquired about his history carefully, and then said: "It seems that this matter is not up to me to decide. Immediately send someone to Jinhua Mansion to report this matter to the prefect."

"Yes!" Head Mengdu immediately arranged for the messenger from the county government to go.

And Wu Biao looked at Xiao Rui again, and said: "Lord Fa, if this murder case is reported back to Jinhua Mansion, it will definitely cause shock, look..."

Xiao Rui said with a smile: "I'm just making inspections. How to investigate and judge the case depends entirely on Mr. Wu. How can I do it for you?"

Wu Biao nodded, now things have made him stretched, if the supervisory censor in front of him is making a horizontal move, he will definitely die.Now he is watching from the sidelines with great interest, and Wu Biao is also happy.

Afterwards, Xiao Rui and Guo Jia did not stay here for long, but returned to the county seat by carriage.

"Feng Xiao, do you think the corpse case inside the brick kiln has anything to do with the murderer in the dark?" Xiao Rui couldn't help linking the two cases together.

Guo Jia shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter! Because the corpse case has a long history, and if the murderer deliberately brought out the corpse case, wouldn't it destroy the panic created with great difficulty, and the corpse case jumping out will definitely attract the attention of the prefect of Jinhua Prefecture. This is exactly the opposite of the murderer's intention... Wait, no!"

"The messenger Wu Biao sent to Jinhua Mansion to deliver the letter is probably in danger!" Guo Jia said.

The murderer couldn't let the corpse case ruin his plan, so he must get rid of the messenger so that the news could not reach Jinhua Mansion, so as to buy himself time.

Xiao Rui immediately said to Li Yuanfang: "Yuanfang, you have worked hard. The messenger hasn't left for long, and he should be able to catch up. I hope he doesn't encounter any accidents."

"Okay!" Li Yuanfang immediately drove his horse and chased towards the official road connecting Songyang County to Jinhua Mansion.

After noon, Li Yuanfang will come.

He shook his head and said, "I chased to the boundary of Songyang County, but I didn't find the messenger. I ran on without stopping, the other party couldn't have traveled so fast, unless he was killed, and the body and horse were hidden. "

Xiao Rui and Guo Jia looked at each other, and Guo Jia's guess came true.

"Since this is the case, let's do what we can. It only takes one day to go back and forth from here to Jinhua Mansion. If the messenger doesn't come back tomorrow, Wu Biao probably won't pay attention to it. He thinks there is a delay. Only when the time delays for more than three days, he will probably start again." Send people to Jinhua Mansion to check, the murderer also knows this, so there is not much time left for the murderer." Guo Jia said: "The murderer will use the next time to create a bigger public opinion of evil spirits, continue to increase panic, and achieve His own purpose. At the same time, he will attack us, because he cannot allow his plan to be destroyed, and I believe more and more that Wu Biao has the murderer's spies around him."

Xiao Rui nodded, and said: "Okay! Then we will plan, I want to see what the murderer's real intention is!"
