Tibet

Chapter 349
Yang Jian frowned slightly. Of course he knew that Zhang Huan was Zhang Jun's nephew and came to Heyang on behalf of the Zhang family, but he had nothing to do with him and each went his own way. Why did he come to find him?
Yang Jian hesitated for a while, but still nodded, "Let him in!"

Not long after, Zhang Huan and his staff Jiang Quan walked in and bowed. Yang Jian had met Jiang Quan and knew that he was Zhang Jun's confidant and staff.

"You two, please sit down!"

Yang Jian asked the two to sit down. He saw the gauze on Jiang Quan's hand and couldn't help but startled, "Why is Mr. Jiang injured?"

Zhang Huan sighed, "That's why I came to find Yang Zuoshi. Li Ye came to the door, maimed all my subordinates, and stabbed Mr. Jiang's hand. I escaped quickly."

Yang Jian was stunned, he asked puzzledly, "What is Li Ye doing at the door?"

Zhang Huan glanced at Jiang Quan, Jiang Quan said slowly: "It was to compete for a list of the dead and injured. We got the list, but Li Ye came to the door and abruptly snatched the list away."

Yang Jian thought 'bang! ' With a jump, he also has a list in his hand!

"What is he grabbing the list for?"

"He must find these people and eliminate the adverse influence on Li Yu in advance. What we have to do is to reverse him."

Yang Jian really didn't know what to do?There is no counselor like Jiang Quan around him.

"What does sir think we should do?"

Jiang Quan pondered for a while and said: "The first thing we have to do is to join forces. The Yang family has warriors, and we have a relationship. Only by joining forces can we compete with Li Ye. Then I will come up with a specific plan."

"Joined forces?"

Yang Jian looked at Zhang Huan with a smile, "I don't know what kind of relationship Mr. Zhang has in hand?"

Zhang Huan said indifferently: "Now the county magistrate Cuoju and the county Wei Wangshan of Heyang County are all our people, and Si Zhi Cheng Xiao, who represents Dali Temple, is also our people!"

The county magistrate and the county lieutenant belonged to each other, Yang Jian immediately looked at each other with admiration, he smiled and nodded, "Then we will make a deal!"

In the afternoon, Peng Haiyan also arrived ahead of schedule with a few of his subordinates. He is a technical official who is good at solving cases and conducting autopsies. With Peng Haiyan's participation, Li Ye immediately decided to start the investigation the next day.

Early the next morning, Chen Huan led everyone to the Qiligou where the conflict occurred. It is about ten miles away from the county seat. It is more than ten feet long, but it is at least one mile wide, and people can walk directly down the gully. There are large wheat fields in the gully, and a small river flows through the middle of the wheat fields.

But it was winter at this time, and the gully was covered with thick snow.

Chen Huan pointed to the distance and said to Li Ye: "This ditch is called Qiligou, and there is a village in front of it, called Qiligou Village."

Li Ye smiled and said, "If it rains heavily, won't you be flooded if you live below?"

"No, the front of this ditch is very open, and the rainwater will not accumulate."

The crowd urged the horses to go forward for a while, and Peng Haiyan suddenly got off his horse and carefully inspected the soil on the ground.

Li Ye also discovered that the soil was dark brown, which was caused by the infiltration of a lot of blood.

Peng Haiyan walked around, came back and said to Li Ye: "This should be the death scene. More than 60 people died here, and there are scattered bloodstains around, which are left by the injured people when they fled."

Li Ye looked at the mountain on the left, and there was a large bamboo forest twenty steps away, "The murderer must have rushed out of the bamboo forest!"

Peng Haiyan nodded, "Actually, this case is very obvious. The real conflict with the catcher was a mile away to the south. The catcher should have driven the people away with water and fire sticks. The people fled back after being frightened. The road here is relatively narrow, and there are a lot of people. Gather here, so suddenly a large group of killers rush out from the bamboo forest, and the casualties will be very high."

Li Ye discovered another important point, "And this seat just turned a corner, the county magistrate and the catcher in front couldn't see the situation here, so it's understandable that they didn't know there was a killer here!"

"The general is right!"

Chen Huan added: "The captors really didn't see the situation here. Several captors said that they thought it was people trampling each other and falling into the ravine to death."

Peng Haiyan smiled slightly and said: "This case is actually very easy to judge. As long as you interview the injured people, they will see who did it. It must have nothing to do with the catcher!"

Chen Huan pointed to Qiligou Village, which was faintly visible in front of him, and said, "It seems that there are also casualties in Qiligou Village, let's go find out!"

Leaving a few of his men to watch the horses on the official road above, Li Ye led the people down a small road into a ditch and walked along the small river. The river was frozen and covered with a thick layer of snow. Not long after, a small village appeared in front of them. Two chatting old men were sitting at the entrance of the village, enjoying the warm winter sun.

Li Ye went up and cupped his fists and said, "Two old men, did anyone in the village die during the gathering some time ago? It's on the official road ahead."

"Yes! Both the Liang family and the Zhang family have died. The first and second houses are in front." The old man pointed to the front.

"What's the name of the deceased?" Chen Huan asked.

"One is called Liang You, and the other is called Zhang Qi."

"Thank you old man!"

Li Ye found these two names on the subsidy list, and the second and third were them.

Everyone continued to move forward, and came to the head of the village not long after. This should be the Liang family. There was an old man in the yard who was drying pickled vegetables.

Li Ye stepped forward and asked, "Excuse me, old man, is this Liang You's home?"

The old man glanced at them and said coldly: "He is dead, what's the matter?"

"Let's ask, how did he die?"

"The crowd was chaotic and trampled to death while running!"

Everyone was stunned, they couldn't help but look at each other, the one who was trampled to death, what happened?

At this time, an old woman in the next yard came out and said, "My Zhang Qi is the same, he was tripped and trampled to death!"

Li Ye couldn't realize it immediately. This was clearly a unified statement. Could it be that they were bought off?

At this moment, Peng Haiyan asked, "Where is your son buried?"

The old man suddenly turned his face, ran to the corner, picked up a hoe, rushed out and shouted: "Get out! You dare to touch a hair of my son, I will fight you!"

"Let's go!"

Li Ye led everyone out of the village and said, "It is estimated that the Yang family has already visited and bought them, so they have unified their caliber."

Chen Huan worried: "If he trampled to death, Li Yu is still to blame. He ordered the suppression to cause chaos, which is not good for us!"

Peng Haiyan said with a smile: "Uniform caliber is useless, once the injury is checked, it will show the truth."

"But they can't allow an autopsy. In Guanzhong, the dead are the most important, and they can be buried in the ground for safety. Generally, it is not allowed to dig up the corpse for an injury examination."

Peng Haiyan shook his head and said: "It's normal for the government to dig up corpses, and no one dares to stop them. I'm worried that these guys will replace the corpses and pretend to be uninjured corpses, and it's impossible to examine every corpse. Only a few corpses were examined, and there is a possibility of fraud.”

"What about the injured person?"

Li Ye said from the side: "It's impossible for them to bribe the injured people!"

"It's hard to say!" Peng Haiyan shook his head, sighed, and said, "According to the normal process, the various selection lists are negotiated and formulated by the local government and the investigation team. I'm afraid that Yushitai, Dali Temple and the local government will make the list , if the Ministry of Punishment’s attitude is a little more ambiguous, it’s useless for Guangjingzhao’s family to object, and they must obey the majority.”

Li Ye said coldly: "Yang Jian only came yesterday afternoon, Wang Chenghua has been watching them all the time, Zhang Huan only went to see Yang Jian at dusk last night, and the warriors of the Yang family hadn't left the city until last night, so they are The buying started this morning, that is to say, they are walking ahead of us, at most half an hour."

Li Ye immediately said to Zhang Ping: "You take the money and ask those two old men if anyone has been here before? If so, when did you leave?"

"I'll ask right now!" Zhang Ping ran towards the village entrance.
