Chapter 13: Officials come to the door(1/2)
"Master, I've inquired, but the county government did not say that there was any missing soldiers!"
Song Yuan stood in front of Li Yu, his hands drooped naturally, and said seriously.
"But the street you asked me to check, some residents said they heard screams at night. They didn't dare to look, until early the next morning, a county government constable appeared outside."
"After the constable leaves, the streets are very clean and there is nothing unusual."
“Yeah, keep going”
Li Yu took a sip of tea and nodded. He was not surprised by this result.
In the territory of Dayu, a team of soldiers was killed, which was obviously not a trivial matter.
Nowadays, those county magistrates must not dare to reveal this matter before finding the suspect without knowing the exact clues.
Otherwise, his official position would be over.
"There is also the Feilong Gang being wiped out overnight! The Tiger Gang, Feilong Gang, and the second of the five major forces were destroyed one after another, and there was a lot of noise from the outside world."
Song Yuan's expression was much more serious. Compared to the unclear issue of the previous issue, this matter obviously made him pay more attention to it.
"It is said that the county magistrate was very angry. Yan Ling County Magistrate must find the murderer in half a month."
"The other forces and people in the city were also panicked and afraid, and now they didn't even dare to leave the door. This incident also made many businessmen from other places feel scared and left early."
"I believe that with the spread of the news, the number of people who originally planned to do business will definitely be reduced. This will also have a certain impact on our business."
Song Yuan looked a little hesitant, as if he had something to say.
"If you have anything to say, just say it."
Seeing this, Li Yu smiled.
"The subordinates do have problems. I wonder if the matter of the Feilong Gang is related to the Lord?"
Song Yuan asked carefully.
"Um."
Li Yu did not veto it and nodded slightly.
"I understand."
Song Yuan's eyes were dazed. When he learned about the death of the Feilong Gang, he guessed that this matter might be related to the master.
He didn't ask why, it was natural that the Lord did this.
"Since that's the case, we must not give up the territory of the Feilong Gang."
If the Feilong Gang dies like the Tiger Gang, he really doesn't plan to interfere again.
They have already occupied the Tiger Gang's territory, and even if they are bigger, they will be short of people under them.
However, since he knew that the Feilong Gang was made by his own boss, even if he did not take down all the territory, he would have to grab the most oily place.
You can't let other forces get your own wool!
"You can handle this matter yourself."
Li Yu nodded. This is what he admired the other person the most.
No matter why, I will do everything in my hands.
"How did you find out about the death of the Tiger Gang?"
The matters of the Feilong Gang were just small matters, and Li Yu quickly left it behind.
Song Yuan didn't know why the Lord was interested in a group of dead people, but he answered honestly.
"I bribed the coroner who was examined on the same day and the constable who went to the Tiger Gang."
"From them, they learned that more than 200 people from the Tiger Gang, most of whom died under the sword, and a small number of people died very strangely."
Song Yuan's voice was filled with a hint of shock, "These people were left with only one skin, and there was no blood and bone left at all."
"And the human skin is very complete, and I didn't even see any wounds, which is extremely terrifying."
"Many people who saw the corpse that day still remembered it freshly, and there were rumors that the murderer was a powerful man from the Western Regions."
However, Song Yuan sneered at this statement and did not believe it at all.
"How can people from the Western Regions have this ability?"
"If they are really so powerful, they will kill so many people overnight without leaving any traces. They won't be blocked outside the territory by the Central Plains martial arts world for so many years."
After hearing this, Li Yu was already 70% sure that the people from the Tiger Gang were killed by the female ghost last night.
However, although he knew the murderer, he did not intend to tell Song Yuan.
After his continued inquiry, Song Yuan also gave out a new news.
That was yesterday when the Tiger Gang was destroyed, someone found a corpse with only human skin left in the alley in Xicheng.
After Li Yu learned about it from Song Yuan, he asked the other party to step down to deal with the matter of the Feilong Gang.
He returned to the study and asked someone to collect all the strange things that happened in the city in the past January and the dead.
After several hours of review and inspection, Li Yu found that before the first human skin was discovered, although someone died in the city, it was not as strange as this.
At the same time, nothing strange happened in the city recently, such as adultery between men and women, being soaked in a pig cage; missing concubines, no news.
"It's hard to guess when the female ghost was born, but at least before the 12th."
Li Yu sat at the desk, tapping his fingers on the table, making a crisp sound.
"I don't know if the ghost will become stronger after killing people."
He was worried that if this female ghost had the same characteristics as the legendary ghost.
Then after killing so many people, his strength must be very terrifying.
It is difficult to deal with ghosts. If the opponent is also outrageously strong, he doesn't have to find a way to deal with them. Just buy the property and run away.
"I still have to go to the temple and the Taoist temple to see it. I hope there are capable people there."
Since there are ghosts in this world, there must be Taoist monks who eliminate ghosts.
Otherwise, if the ghosts have no enemies, the world will have long become a ghost.
Human beings have become blood food, so how can they be as harmonious and peaceful as they are now?
"The head of the family, the head of the county magistrate Yan, asked for a visit."
Li Yu had just ordered things and was preparing to go to the Taoist temple to burn incense tomorrow.
A servant appeared at the door and notified someone to visit.
"Captain Yan? What did he ask me for?"
Li Yu was puzzled and ordered: "Take him to the living room and I'll be there later."
In the Li Mansion living room, Yan Sandao sat on the chair. He was burly, with a straight appearance, with a beard, wearing a red general captain suit, and exuded a faint majesty on his body.
He looked at the surrounding environment in secret and sighed in his heart that the Li family is worthy of being one of the three major families.
Any piece of furniture in this living room can be worth his annual salary.

Behind Yan San, a accompanying head-in-law was looking around with envious eyes, his voice full of sourness.
His voice had no intention of concealing it, and it clearly fell into the ears of the surrounding servants of the Li Mansion.
Everyone's expressions changed immediately, and the eyes of looking at several people were full of hostility.
"Shut up, don't you see what occasion this is!"
Another head catcher next to him noticed the change in the atmosphere around him, looked unexpected and scolded him.
"Haha, it's not your turn to teach me a lesson here!"
"Enough, you all shut up!"
Sun Xing sneered and wanted to say something else, but he heard Yan San sitting in front of him speak.
"Yes, sir!"
The two of them were scolded and did not dare to speak anymore, and they agreed honestly.
After a while, a slender figure walked in from outside the door.
Li Yu walked into the hall in white clothes, and Yue Feng walked in half a step behind him.
"Captain Yan!"
Li Yu saw the extraordinary Yan San at a glance, and bowed with a polite smile on his face.
"Head of Li!"
Yan San stood up and returned the gift, and then the two of them sat down.
"Captain Yan is a noble man who doesn't enter the Three Treasure Hall. I wonder what to give me advice?"
After a simple greeting, Li Yu went straight to the point.
