After a few spring rains, the earth completely awakened and full of vitality everywhere.

The group left Qiyun County City, a total of seven, Xin Tianyou, Dong Shumin, Ma's father and daughter, Xiaoxiang Xiaolan, and Zhao Jia.

Xintian was wearing a simple golden dress, a pair of deer-skin high-top boots, and a silver-edged gauze hat, which was heroic.

This set of clothes was specially made by a craftsman in the county magistrate's office. According to Ms. Dong's visual measurement, there was no error. The original coarse cloth clothes were naturally abandoned.

In fact, he is not particular about clothing and does not need to be changed frequently. He is surrounded by force and cannot be contaminated by dust. In addition, he rarely sweats and is very clean. A set of clothes can be worn for a long time without breaking, and it is as clean as new.

But Xintianyou likes this set of young golf costumes very much.

The stools around his waist can hang many small things, such as food detachment knife, water bag, bamboo chopsticks, bags, and purses... This reminded him of a word from ten thousand years ago, a multi-functional and practical belt.

He hates the most noble clothes. It doesn’t matter if he has a wide robe and big sleeves. The key is that he has no pockets. Unlike the civilians in the city, there are inner bags sewn inside the sleeves, and some small things can be placed, which are called "pockets".

The most wonderful thing is that after removing the outer blade of the wolf teeth, I found a craftsman to configure the handle and scabbard, and hung it at my waist, which completely turned into a food-removing knife.

Dong Shumin looked at the strange shape of the knife and insisted on pulling it out to see if Xin Tianyou refused to do anything. Yiren asked again why he invited General Zhennan to dinner last night, and why he didn't let him attend. He refused to say anything.

The young lady was so angry that she pouted and looked straight, and ignored people for a long time.

But as soon as she left the city, she threw her unhappiness out of the sky, and was as happy as a bird that ran out of the cage, leading the way.

When the pedestrians saw this team of furious horses, they all avoided them.

Yangchang Valley is thirty miles away from Qiyun City.

The hills that are five or six miles long are only more than one hundred meters high. Because they stand on the plain, they are very eye-catching. Xin Tianyou guessed that this should belong to the tail peak that spreads from Yunshan.

It can be seen that the government has made great efforts to maintain this road leading to Baisha Wangcheng. The road surface was covered with gravel and potholes were filled. Weeds on the side of the road were cut off, drainage ditches were dug, and a pavilion was built for pedestrians to rest every ten miles.

A journey of mountains and water, a journey of long pavilions and short pavilions.

After entering the valley, the road surface narrowed and the rocks on the side walls were cut, so that two carriages could still be crossed.

The reason why it is called Yangchan Valley is that it is winding and basically takes less than a hundred meters to turn. Walking in the valley, you can hear the voices coming from the front, but you can't see anyone.

The narrowest section in the middle is almost 90 degrees perpendicularly turning at both ends. The peaks stand together, and the valley is deep. You can only see a line of sky when you look up.

Xin Tianyou stopped and told everyone to leave first and he would catch up with him later.

Everyone thought he wanted to be convenient, so they stayed for about five or six minutes after turning the corner, but no one came, but smoke came out of the valley.

Dong Shumin was impatient when she got off the horse and walked back dozens of steps. She secretly stretched her head and looked at it. Her eyes suddenly became wide open and she raised her hand to greet Ma Cuihua.

Ma Cuihua walked over, took a look and immediately retracted, covering her mouth with her hands.

The two looked at each other, looked at each other, and then muttered in a low voice.

"Sister Cuihua, is Xiaotian worshiping the mountain god?"

"Unlike, where do you need to burn paper money when worshiping God? It should be a tribute to ancestors."

"It's impossible... there are cliffs on both sides, and there is not even a grave. How can I worship? Besides, I have to prepare offerings to pay homage to my ancestors. I kneel down on both legs and kowtow. He just knelt on one knee, without saying or kowtowing, and was stunned."

"Xiaotian looks so pitiful..."

Ma Kong coughed heavily and glared at Ma Cuihua fiercely.

The two girls retracted their heads awkwardly, tiptoed back, and shut their mouths.

A few more minutes later, the sound of hooves suddenly started.

Xin Tianyou rushed out of the horse as if flying.

Seeing that his face was gloomy, everyone did not dare to ask, and they followed.

...

Because the boy looked depressed, everyone just kept busy rushing to the road. Without much burden of giving gifts, the horse was brisk and arrived at the royal city in the morning and entered Dengfeng County before dusk.

Xin Tianyou, who doesn’t like shopping the most, offered to accompany the two girls for the first time, which is simply flattering.

It was midnight at 3 o'clock, and everything was silent.

Dongdongdongdongdong...

Bang!

"The weather is dry, be careful of fire and candles. Close the door and door, guard against thieves and theft..."

The updater who beats the gong and gong walks along the street.

Xin Tianyou opened his eyes, changed into a black tight night clothes, put on his wolf's teeth, and flipped out from the half-open window. The ground was as light as a raccoon cat, silent.

Dengfeng County Government covers an area of ​​five acres and has more than 100 rooms. It is a very large building complex.

According to the etiquette system of "sitting north and facing south, civil and military on the left, sleeping in the front and back, and living in the south", Xintianyou, who had already stepped on the ground, quickly locked in the torture room.

Files of various criminal cases are generally collected here.

There was a copper lock on the door, which could not be depressed. He pulled out his wolf teeth and cut the latch of the window. Although the window creaked slightly at the moment of opening the window, the doorman was far away and the door had already fallen asleep, so there was no need to worry at all.

Xin Tianyou flipped in and opened all the windows.

The moon is halfway through, and the clear light leaks in.

With the faint light, he looked at things like daylight. However, the colors were difficult to distinguish, a bit like looking at black and white prints.

Suddenly I thought of a question: If there is no moonlight, the fire broker will be easily discovered outside. Wouldn't you be caught blind tonight? After arriving at the royal city, I had to take a night pearl with me and be prepared for any trouble.

One wall of the torture room was against a huge wooden cabinet two meters high and five meters wide, and divided the upper and lower layers, with ten small cabinets on each floor, and none of them were locked. The door of the bottom cabinet was pasted with "The First Year of the Apocalypse", "The Second Year of the Apocalypse"... and the note from "The Tenth Year of the Apocalypse". The middle layer was pasted with the eleventh year of the Apocalypse to the twentyth year of the Apocalypse, but the top layer had no labels.

Xin Tianyou squatted down and gently opened the cabinet door of the "Fourth Year of the Apocalypse".

It was a very strange thing that the constable from Qiyun County once went to Dengfeng County to review the files, but was rejected without hesitation.

The criminals are mobile and the public are connected. What's more, the missing population case and the Xinji Horse Farm bloody case are coincidentally dated and the region is close, so there may be a connection between the two.

There is no reason to refuse unless there is a hidden secret that is not suitable for spreading.

There were only nine files stacked in the grid, covered with dust and less than an inch high. It seems that the public security in Dengfeng County is good, and nine serious criminal cases have occurred in a whole year.

Xin Tianyou took out the top one, blew off the dust and opened it.

It records a case of death caused by a drunken fight in the first lunar month, including testimony from others, confessions of criminals, lawsuits of relatives, verdicts of government officials, etc. The coroner's inspection report is very careful, not only clearly describes the death case, but also draws the hatchet of the murderer.

He glanced a few times, put the file back, and took out one of the items below. He saw that it was a case of killing pills and killing plowing ox in late spring, and put it back.

These files are sorted by time, and the next one should be the Xinji Horse Racecourse bloody incident in April.

Opening the cover, Xin Tianyou couldn't believe his eyes, and a feeling of something bad appeared in his heart.

Damn, I jumped directly to a murder case of affair in May.

He quickly stuffed it back and continued to search down.

Unfortunately, I finished reading all the nine files, but I didn’t see the bloody incident in the horse farm. It seemed that in April of the fourth year of the Tianqi, Dengfeng County was safe and sound. I opened the two cabinet doors of the three and five years of the Tianqi next door, but I still couldn’t find them.

Xin Tianyou restored the file to its original state and pondered for a while.

It makes no sense!

Sun Shuan's words are definitely not groundless.

Such a major case would not have lost the file. Could it be that the Ministry of Justice was transferred away?

Xin Tianyou calmed down and found that there was no label on the top floor of this huge row of cabinets.

What would be inside?
Chapter completed!
