Chapter 379 The First Major Case
Jiang Zhe, Duan Rong, Wang Shuliang and others entered Yuanshun Escort Agency together.
After a rigorous investigation, screams were heard from time to time in the escort agency.
Ruan Fengshan's wife and family, including Ma Chunying, Ma Wentao, and his only son Ruan Jing, were all locked up in the county jail.
About three hours later, Duan Rong and Xiao Yu, with a pale escort, walked out of the gate of Yuanshun Escort Agency.
The escort was Zhang Xinping, who was originally from the fifth escort team.
That night, it was he who led the group to take the bodies of Xiao Zongting and a group of troublemakers to the mass grave.
Xiao Yu followed him out, wiping her tears. When she thought of her father's body being thrown on the mass grave for more than half a month after his death, she felt heartbroken.
They came to the city gate, which had already been taken over by a team of heavily armored cavalry.
"Who is it?!"
The little leader guarding the gate immediately became alert when he saw Duan Rong and Xiao Yu approaching.
Duan Rong and Xiao Yu then showed the Taiyi Order together.
"Sir!"
The little leader was startled when he saw the Taiyi Order and said respectfully. He had heard that the case here was uncovered by several outer disciples.
Duan Rong said: "Open the city gate! We will take this person out of the city!"
"This..."
The little leader showed a hesitant look on his face. The order he received was not to let anyone out of the city.
Duan Rong looked at the little leader's expression and knew why he hesitated. After a night of observation, Duan Rong had discovered that the Iron Cavalry Commander named Yuanye was very strict with his subordinates and had strict military discipline.
He didn't want to embarrass the little leader in front of him, so he said: "If you can't make a decision, go and ask your commander. He is in Yuanshun Escort Agency."
The little leader's eyes lit up, and he clasped his fists to Duan Rong with gratitude and said: "Please wait for me, sir. I'll go right away!"
The little leader mounted a black horse, whipped it hard, and went to Yuanshun Escort Agency.
Not long after, with a burst of horse kicks, the little leader had already ridden back.
As soon as he arrived at the city gate, he sighed, reined in the horse, and shouted: "Open the city gate and let the two adults leave the city!"
As the city gate opened, the little leader clasped his fists at the city gate and saluted Duan Rong and others out of the city gate.
As soon as he left the city gate, Duan Rong immediately showed his body, grabbed Zhang Xinping's shoulder with his right hand, and his body whistled through the wilderness.
Xiao Yu showed his full strength, but he was just behind and barely followed.
The two figures were as fast as ghosts. It didn't take long for them to stop at the edge of the mass grave.
Although it was afternoon, the winter sun was bleak. Along the way, the cold wind was howling, and Zhang Xinping had been frozen to the point of having a runny nose.
He sniffed his nose and swallowed it. Duan Rong turned his head, glanced at him, and asked coldly, "Where is it?"
Zhang Xinping raised his hand and pointed, saying, "It's at the edge over there."
Duan Rong grabbed Zhang Xinping, moved his body, and flashed to that place.
To get from here to there, you have to cross the mass grave diagonally.
The distance was short, and Duan Rong no longer suppressed his body to wait for Xiao Yu.
At such a short distance, Xiao Yu was slower than Duan Rong by almost half a breath. This was when Duan Rong was with Zhang Xinping.
The mass grave was full of dead bones and weeds.
Duan Rong and Xiao Yu whistled past, startling many birds and wild cats.
Duan Rong landed gracefully, looking at the pile of corpses in front of him, his eyelids twitching.
Although it was winter, there was still a strong stench of corpses. The corpses had turned black and were covered with spots, but they had not yet begun to rot.
The top layer of corpses had obvious signs of being eaten by wild cats.
Duan Rong looked at the clothes of the top few corpses, which were the clothes of the escorts of Yuanshun Escort Agency.
Duan Rong looked at Zhang Xinping and asked, "Where is Mr. Xiao?"
Zhang Xinping trembled and said, "It was dark at the time, and there were two or three carts of corpses. Who cared about who was who?"
As Zhang Xinping spoke, he looked at the two people vigilantly, fearing that they would kill him in anger.
"Dad! My daughter is here!" Xiao Yu had already run to the pile of stinking corpses crying and started searching.
Duan Rong looked at Xiao Yu's appearance, and a trace of pity rose in his heart, but he couldn't stop Xiao Yu. A daughter was looking for her father's body, what reason did he have to stop her?
Duan Rong walked forward a few steps, stood there, and suddenly released his spiritual sense, penetrating the pile of corpses.
Zhang Xinping felt relieved when he saw that the two had left him and went to the pile of corpses. At least they would not kill him for a while. But he did not dare to run away. Along the way, the light skills displayed by Duan Rong and Xiao Yu had already cut off his thoughts of running away.
Duan Rong's spiritual sense penetrated the pile of corpses and searched carefully.
Xiao Zongting's right leg was disabled, so Duan Rong focused on this place. The corpses were black and their faces were unrecognizable.
Soon, Duan Rong's eyes jumped.
He had found Xiao Zongting.
Xiao Yu's eyes were tearful and full of sadness. She seemed to be unable to smell the strong stench of corpses at all. "Dad, where are you? Show your spirit and tell your daughter!"
"Xiao Yu! Over here!" Duan Rong called Xiao Yu and ran to the other side of the pile of corpses.
Xiao Yu rushed over immediately after hearing this. He had a certain confidence in Duan Rong's words.
Duan Rong was already standing at the pile of corpses over there. He turned over and threw the corpses one by one to both sides!
Xiao Yu was still stunned beside Duan Rong.
Duan Rong glanced at her and said, "Help! It's right down here!"
Xiao Yu said, and immediately, together with Duan Rong, threw the corpses aside.
Soon, a black corpse emerged in the middle of the pile of corpses.
Although the corpse was black and covered with corpse spots, there was still a pipe stuck in his waist. With the clothes and beard, who else could it be but Xiao Zongting?
Xiao Yu immediately rushed over, holding her father's stiff and black face with both hands, and murmured, "Dad! My daughter is unfilial and is late!"
When Xiao Yu's emotions calmed down a little, the two of them carried Xiao Zongting's stiff body out.
Duan Rong stood there, glanced at Zhang Xinping, looked at Xiao Yu and asked, "Should this man be killed or released? You decide."
Zhang Xinping heard this, and his heart suddenly rose to his throat.
Xiao Yu was tidying up Xiao Zongting's messy clothes. Xiao Zongting had a shoe on one foot, but the shoe on the other foot had long gone.
Xiao Yu looked at her father's bare right foot. In her eyes, perhaps the missing shoe was more important than Zhang Xinping.
"Let him go." Xiao Sheng said softly.
This faint voice sounded like a bell in Zhang Xinping's ears.
Zhang Xinping was overjoyed and looked at Duan Rong expectantly. He knew that between the two of them, Duan Rong was the one who made the decision.
Duan Rong said, "You go."
Zhang Xinping was as if he had been saved from the gates of hell. He immediately bowed and said, "Thank you for not killing me." After he said that, he immediately jumped away, fearing that the two would change their minds.
Zhang Xinping was just a low-level escort, not the person in charge. Duan Rong and Xiao Yu were not people who killed indiscriminately without asking questions.
Xiao Zongting's death was first caused by Ruan Fengshan, then the black-clad master who assisted him that night, and then Sun Qian, and all of them have been killed.
Duan Rong and Xiao Yu brought Xiao Zongting's body back to the city.
Later, Duan Rong and Ximen Kankan went to the coffin shop and pulled back a large pine coffin.
No mistakes, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar!
But at this time, Xiangu County was closing the city for investigation, and Xiao Zongting had been dead for more than half a month, so the so-called funeral and wake were not suitable for holding.
Xiao Yu changed Xiao Zongting's shroud.
She and Zhu Xiaoqi also wore mourning.
After Xiao Zongting changed his shroud and entered the coffin, Duan Rong and Ximen Kankan nailed the coffin directly.
That afternoon, Duan Rong, Ximen Kankan, Liu Shushan, and Yang Zhen carried the coffin out of the Xiao family's courtyard.
Xiao Yu held the tablet, and she and Zhu Xiaoqi cried all the way to see him off!
Shen Mizhi was scattering paper money on the side. She and Xiao Yu had already had a deep affection for each other. Seeing Xiao Yu crying like a tearful person, her heart ached.
But there was a round thing tied on the back of Xiao Yu's mourning clothes. It was Ruan Fengshan's head.
A group of people escorted Xiao Zongting's coffin to the ancestral tomb of the Xiao family.
When Xiao Yu saw the tomb of her sister Xiao Baiyu, she burst into tears.
It was only three years before and after, and her relatives who grew up with her left her one after another!
Thinking of this, Xiao Yu burst into tears again.
Several people buried Xiao Zongting's coffin and erected a tombstone.
Everyone knelt in front of the tomb.
Xiao Yu took off the tattered clothes tied at the back of his waist, untied them, and spread them in front of the tombstone. Ruan Fengshan's pale head was there.
Xiao Yu kowtowed heavily and said, "Dad, your revenge has been avenged! You can go on your way with peace of mind. In the next life, Yu'er will be your daughter again!"
Xiao Yu prostrated herself and cried for a long time!
Seeing the dusk falling, several people supported Xiao Yu and Zhu Xiaoqi, who were crying, and returned to the city.
Duan Rong, Xiao Yu and others did not return to the Xiao family's house. First, the house was in the Yuanshun Escort Agency and was surrounded by heavy armored cavalry, making it inconvenient to enter and exit. Second, the house had not been cleaned for more than half a month, and it was in a mess and could not be moved in for a while.
At Duan Rong's suggestion, Xiao Yu and others all moved into the old house of Ximen Mansion.
The rooms in Ximen Mansion were all ready, and they could move in after a simple cleanup.
Ximen Kankan brought back a table of dishes from Babaolou. After a few bites, they went to sleep.
It took seven or eight days to seal off the city of Xiangu County, and the number of the remnants of the dirty blood was as high as 180!
Such a number of people is already the largest case in history about the dirty blood case!
Yuanye and Wang Shuliang, who participated in the investigation, were more and more frightened!
At first, when Duan Rong asked Yuanye to lead people to seal off those many places, he was still murmuring in his heart. But after a few days of investigation, they found that these places were actually the dens of the dirty blood sect.
Moreover, they also found a secret passage, and rescued more than 30 young girls in a dark room somewhere in the secret passage.
That morning, the case had been basically concluded. At the gate of the east city, Jiang Zhe and others had decided to return to the sect.
Duan Rong, Yuanye, and Wang Shuliang all came to see them off. There was also a man wearing the official uniform of the county magistrate, who was also standing among the people seeing them off.
This man's name is Guo Xiangbao, and he is the newly appointed magistrate of Xiangu County. He just arrived from the prefectural city two days ago.
The Yunling Wild Eagle has landed not far away, and Bai Yuan and Lu Jin have already stood beside the big eagle.
The big eagle is like a small mountain, and Bai Yuan and Lu Jin are standing there like two black dots. Behind Bai Yuan and Lu Jin, each of them is carrying something.
Bai Yuan carried the red skeleton of Wei Ziyang on his back, ready to take it back to the sect for research.
Lu Jin carried the half of Shen Qing's body wrapped up.
Jiang Zhe stood at the city gate and said goodbye to everyone. He looked at Duan Rong deeply.
This case is already the biggest case of dirty blood just by looking at the number of people killed!
And there are two big fish, the chief altar envoy and the head of Yuanyang Hall!
And all this started with Duan Rong!
With this one merit, he can be promoted to an inner disciple!
And although the two big fish turned into two dead fish, the responsibility for this is not on Duan Rong!
Jiang Zhe also knew that Duan Rong was one step away from stepping on the altar during the soul test in the sect!
This boy has a really limitless future!
Jiang Zhe looked at Duan Rong with a smile and said, "Junior Brother Duan Rong, we feel very compatible after meeting each other this time! I don't know when we will meet again after this separation?"
Duan Rong also smiled and said, "Yes, Senior Brother Jiang Zhe, I feel the same way! I just regret that I can't have a drink with you to express my farewell feelings."
Jiang Zhe said, "There is nothing I can do about it. The sect is urging us to do this, and we are in a hurry. We can only wait until tomorrow to have a drink."
Duan Rong said, "Okay! Let's have a drink together when we meet tomorrow!"
Duan Rong thought that Jiang Zhe would leave after saying these polite words, but he didn't expect Jiang Zhe to suddenly take out a jade pendant with a blue-black color and handed it to Duan Rong, saying, "Junior Brother Duan Rong, this jade pendant has the miraculous effect of removing poison and warming the body. I give it to you to show my gratitude. I hope you don't refuse it!"
Duan Rong was slightly stunned. He didn't expect Jiang Zhe to give him a gift before leaving.
At this time, if he refused in public, it would be a bit of an insult to Jiang Zhe.
Duan Rong extended his hand and took it respectfully, saying, "Brother, I will never let you down for your kindness!" Although Duan Rong said this on his face, he was muttering in his heart, this guy is really something, he just left and gave me a jade pendant. He just said that it has the effect of removing poison and warming the body, I don't know if it's true or not.
Jiang Zhe felt a little pain when he saw Duan Rong took the jade pendant. This jade pendant also has some effect on him. Its body-warming effect has a slight effect on his cultivation.
But if he doesn't make friends with Duan Rong at this time, when he enters the Elders' Council, he wants to make friends with him, but it will be too late.
However, when he heard Duan Rong say that he would never let him down, Jiang Zhe still smiled.
Jiang Zhe really said goodbye and left.
He pulled up an iron chain by the city wall and walked towards Yunling Kuangying not far away.
On that iron chain, three people were tied in turn, the temple priest Xu Dongyang, the clerk of the county government, and the one who was the caretaker of Wei Yutian's old house.
These three people were all members of the Filthy Blood Sect, but at this time, the blood threads around their bodies had been retracted into their bodies, but the three of them were all haggard and dead. They all knew that they would definitely not survive this time when they went to Taiyi Sect, and they would die miserably.
Although Wei Ziyang and Ge Qinglei were both dead fish, Jiang Zhe thought over and over again and still couldn't go back empty-handed. Taking these three people back was more or less an explanation.
These three people were specially selected by him after many days of interrogation. They all knew a lot about the construction of the base in Xiangu County. Although they didn't know the confidential information at a higher level, it was also valuable in this regard.
Jiang Zhe and his men stood on the back of the Cloud Feather Crazy Eagle. The big eagle spread its wings, like a big cloud hanging down from the sky, suddenly raised a piece of wind and sand, and then slowly rose up and kept climbing!
At first, it was not fast, but after reaching a certain height, it suddenly accelerated, turned into a black dot, and went eastward!
