Chapter 51
The next day, Yongchang County
Early in the morning, Shen Youzhi rushed to the Yongchang county government under the leadership of Di Renjie and Li Yuanfang.

When the county magistrate Zeng Tai saw Di Renjie, he rushed up to greet him, cupped his hands and said, "Master, General Li!"

Since he didn't know Shen Youzhi, he didn't say hello immediately.

Di Renjie nodded, and then introduced to Zeng Tai: "Zeng Tai, this is His Royal Highness King An, and he will investigate this case with me by imperial order."

Although Zeng Tai has been an official for many years, but because he had no backer in the court, he worked as a remote county magistrate for ten years. After finally relying on the mountain of Di Renjie, he was promoted to Jing County, the capital of God.

Therefore, let alone the one-character prince, he has never seen the two-character county king, so he was a little flustered at the moment, and hurriedly saluted: "I am the magistrate of Yongchang County Zeng Tai, and I pay my respects to His Royal Highness King An!"

Seeing that he was a little nervous, Shen Youzhi smiled and comforted him: "Magistrate Zeng doesn't have to be so nervous.

This king is just a spectator, everything is in the hands of Ge Lao. "

"Yes, yes, I understand!" Zeng Tai quickly replied.

Although Shen Youzhi told him not to be nervous, but human nature is like this, how can it be changed in a moment?

"Okay." Di Renjie said at the right time: "Zeng Tai, I asked you to search for clues about the Jiang family from the Yongchang county annals. Is there any gain?"

"Master."

Zeng Tai looked at Shen Youzhi, hesitating a bit.

"Magistrate Zeng can just speak up if he has something to say, don't worry about me." Shen Youzhi said.

"Yes." Zeng Tai replied respectfully again.

Afterwards, he said to Di Renjie: "After the students returned to the county office, they checked the county records overnight and found that there was no record about the Jiang family.

The students asked the local yamen again, but they all said they had never heard of the place 'Jiangjiayu'! "

Di Renjie was very puzzled when he heard the words, and said, "How could this happen?"

How could no one know about such a big Zhuangzi?
Could this Zhuangzi still disappear by himself?
"Afterwards, the students wondered if the Jiang family had changed their name." Zeng Tai continued.

Di Renjie nodded and said, "Yes, there is a possibility."

Speaking of this, Zeng Tai's forehead gradually seeped sweat.

"The students then specially found Gao Rujin, the magistrate of Yongchang County, who was over ninety years old and had been the magistrate of Henan County since the early years of Wude.

According to him, there was indeed a Jiang family village many years ago, and Jiang Xiaolang was indeed from the Jiang family village.

just just"

Zeng Taiqi Ai Ai, for a moment he didn't know how to speak, as if he would catch some disaster if he opened his mouth.

Seeing this, Di Renjie couldn't help frowning, and said sharply, "Just what?"

"It's just that Jiang Xiaolang died decades ago!" Zeng Tai said with lingering fear.

"What?!" Di Renjie was shocked and said, "You mean, the deceased Jiang Xiaolang on the official road has already died?"

Zeng Tai nodded dumbly.

"Hiss!" Li Yuanfang couldn't help but gasped.

He couldn't help wondering: What is going on?Why can a person die twice?
"Moreover, Gao Rujin said that Jiang Xiaolang's family of more than [-] people were all killed, and everyone had their heads and left arms cut off!" Zeng Tai added: "Those stumps were all enshrined. Arrived at the General Temple in Xilin!"

Upon hearing this, Li Yuanfang asked suddenly: "Brother Zeng, who is enshrined in the General Temple you mentioned?"

Zeng Tai turned his head and replied in a low voice, "It's the former Sui Xiaoguo Army Zhonglang General Yuwen Chengdu."

Li Yuanfang's expression changed.

Flying Dragon Envoy He Yun said that the suits and colors on the remaining hoof prints on the official road are for the former Sui Xiaoguo Army!

"Not only that, on the second day after the General Temple was enshrined, the entire Jiangjiazhuang was ignited, and almost all the people in the village were burned to death!" Zeng Tai said in horror: "What's even more strange is that Jiangjiazhuang Simultaneously with the fire, the General Temple in Xilin was also on fire."

"The students didn't believe such absurd words until they found an old document from the Zhenguan period in the county government."

Zeng Tai then truthfully stated the contents of the file——

On the night of July [-]th, [-] years, Jiang Xiaolang, the owner of the Jiangjia Courtyard in Jiangjiazhuang, Henan County, and more than [-] members of his family, old and young, were murdered in the house.

The head and left arm of the corpse were beheaded, suspected to be the work of a ghost.

Jiang Xiaolang was born in the seventh year of Daye of the former Sui Dynasty. He once served in the right guard of the dynasty.

Listening to Zeng Tai's words, Di Renjie gradually frowned.

The head and left arm were beheaded again, exactly the same as the deceased in the recent Bloody Eagle case!
"The student broke out in a cold sweat, and immediately took out Jiang Xiaolang's ID card for comparison."

Speaking of this, Zeng Tai couldn't help swallowing, and after he stabilized his mind, he said: "The document says 'Jiang Xiaolang, born in Jiangjiazhuang, Henan County, born in the seventh year of Sui Daye'.

This is exactly in line with the information recorded in the old files from the Zhenguan period! "

Afterwards, the students immediately led people to the former site of Jiangjiayuan, where they found Jiang Xiaolang's grave!
hiss--

Di Renjie let out another breath of cold air.

Jiang Xiaolang has long since died, so who is the deceased on the official road?

Why did he have Jiang Xiaolang's identity document?
Is it really ghosts and gods?

No!impossible!There will never be ghosts in the world!
In any case, Di Renjie does not believe that there are ghosts and gods in this world.

"My lord!" Li Yuanfang also turned pale with fright, and said, "Could it be, could it be true."

He wanted to say, was it really the work of a ghost?
But due to the presence of the prince Shen Youzhi, he finally held back.

First there was the horseshoe specially used by the former Sui Xiaoguo army, then there was the extinct sweaty BMW in the Han Dynasty, and now there is Jiang Xiaolang who died twice.
Li Yuanfang really couldn't think of any other explanation for all of this, other than the chaos caused by ghosts and gods.

Unlike Di Renjie and the other three, Shen Youzhi knew everything behind it clearly, so he was not frightened.

The bloody eagle case was planned by Princess Taiping alone. Although it is weird, it is not profitable. At most, it can take the opportunity to disintegrate Princess Taiping's power in the court.

He came to Shendu this time mainly to express a position with Wu Zetian, so that she could relax her vigilance towards him.

Therefore, he didn't want to delay too long, and directly gave a hint: "It is absolutely impossible for a person to die twice.

Jiang Xiaolang was born in the Daye period of the former Sui Dynasty and is over a hundred years old.

When I came here, I heard Elder Ge said that you have inspected the corpses on the official road. The skins of the corpses are smooth and delicate, and they are definitely not centenarians.

It can be seen from this that the corpse on the official road is definitely not Jiang Xiaolang! "

Seeing that he was able to remain calm when he heard such a shocking thing, and his thinking was clear and organized, Di Renjie couldn't help giving His Royal Highness An another high look.

I even couldn't help comparing him with Prince Li Xian.
Although it is said that a courtier should not talk about superiority, but who knows if you only think about it in your heart?
