Long Xingtu asked: "Which year did the flood occur?"

"It should be... it was five years ago." Li Zheng replied as he recalled.

The old patriarch nodded: "Absolutely, in the year of Honglang, I just passed my seventyth birthday and now I am seventy-five years old."

Long Xingtu looked at the bones on the ground, frowned deeply, "The specific time of death requires an autopsy to be confirmed. After transporting it back to the ancestral temple later, please ask the old clan leader to make an empty room for bone examination."

"No problem." The old patriarch responded happily and sighed, "If the deceased is a foreigner and dies in Daijiazhuang, it is also a misfortune for me Daijiazhuang. I should do my best; if I am a native of my village, I should be even more so."

Dragon Star Map clasped her fists to show her gratitude. Then she uncovered a ghost-suppressing talisman and said, "You are old and must be knowledgeable. Please help me identify where this talisman comes from?"

"The most famous talisman in this village is the witch. We have seen many of the talismans she drew, but these three talismans don't look very similar!"

"No, there are marks on the talisman paper, which is the unique logo of the witch, probably like this."

After an old man finished speaking, he picked up a branch from the ground and drew it on the spot.

"Yes, yes." The others whispered.

Seeing that they didn't look like they were lying, she asked again: "Apart from the witch, are there anyone else who can draw ghost talismans, or masters, sorcerers, and fortune tellers?"

"There is only a witch in Daijiazhuang, but there is a Master Li in the neighboring village of Lijiatun. I heard that he can connect to gods and immortals and underworlds."

"There is also Zhang Banxian in Zhangzhuang who can tell fortunes and drive away evil spirits."

Hearing that the Dragon Star Map lifted two pieces of talisman paper and handed them to the two constables respectively. "You two go to Lijiatun and Zhangzhuang to verify quickly, and the time range will be expanded to within six years."

"Yes!" The constable took the order and left with his fists.

Long Xingtu said again: "Li Zheng, please count a list of people who left the village in Daijiazhuang in the past five years, regardless of men and women, and whatever the reasons, and mark them in detail before giving them to me."

"Okay. Master Long has any need, we have no choice." Li Zheng said with great respect for the Dragon Star Map.

"Thank you, Mr. Long!" Long Xingtu returned the gift politely, "The rest is to annoy Laurie to arrange a few meals for my brothers, and the government will bear the cost." After that, she took out five taels of silver from her sleeve bag and handed it to Li Zheng, "No need for big fish, big meat, and coarse tea and soup."

Li was surprised and hurriedly refused, "Master Long doesn't need to spend money..."

Long Xingtu raised his lips, "It should be! Lord Du has a lesson. Whether it is public or private, he will not take any action against the people. Don't let me break the rules."

Du Mingcheng has been an official for ten years and is well-known for his actions. He dared not force him anymore.

The place where the corpse is thrown, all the evidence records should be collected have been completed.

Long Xingtu ordered the last constable to be sent by his side, "bring the bones with you and go to the ancestral temple."

...

Wuyang County Government.

The crowd rushed back to the yamen at 3:00 a.m., and sent the dead bodies to the morgue. They refrigerated with ice and waited for the autopsy. Li Fuhai and Li Fushan were locked up together, and Xu Hong and Zhu San were respectively imprisoned in the prison of the retaliatory prison.

Du Mingcheng held a banquet to reward him, regardless of the size of the official rank, and all the constables and the constables had a meal together.

This is also his unique feature of being an official and being a man and being deeply loved by the people.
