The sun sets and the sun rises, and the morning of a brand new day is coming.

As the Chen Dynasty approached, Luoyang City, which had been after a one-night-long curfew, had become lively again. People came and went, even in front of the government offices, even in front of the government offices, there were a lot of people gathered at the entrance of the Ministry of Justice. Dozens of soldiers from the Ministry of Justice lined up in an orderly line waiting for the boss's order. Yang Yan stood in front of the team with a serious expression, looking ahead, but was waiting for Li Ling and the others to arrive.

There was still a moment before Chen Shi, Li Ling rode his horse under the custody of six guards. Compared to yesterday's official uniform, his outfit is much simpler today, with short arrow sleeves, tied his hair and forehead, and looked like a young master Guijie who was going out to hunt more than court officials.

Seeing his outfit surprised Yang Yan and others, but they soon smiled and met again: "Magistrate Li is indeed extraordinary. At first glance, it makes the officials dare not recognize him."

"I'm laughing at Lord Yang. After all, I'm leaving the capital to get people today, so the officials will naturally be ready." Li Ling smiled and bowed, "It's getting late, can we set off now?"

"Set out!" Yang Yan looked at the dozens of elite soldiers next to him who were carrying guns with swords and guns, then glanced at the only six subordinates brought by Li Ling, and felt more at ease. He waved his hand and ordered to set off.

At this moment, the two teams gathered together, lined up in a relatively neat queue, and jogged along the long street ahead with a full momentum. Naturally, no one dared to gallop in the capital. Now they can only control the horses to trot, but even so, their group of people still attracted the attention of many pedestrians and people.

It was not until after leaving the capital and boarding the flat and wide official road that the team's travel speed suddenly increased, and they ran straight towards Yanshi County, which was under the capital.

Although we set out early and had unobstructed along the way, it was not until afternoon that the group arrived in Yanshi County.

Compared to the simplicity and majesty of Luoyang City, this small Yanshi County seems too dilapidated and old. In Li Ling's opinion, it is just a little better than Huating County. But what is surprising is that from a distance, I found that the small county town is actually closed with four gates, and it looks like it is facing a great enemy. This is really unreasonable.

"What's going on?" Li Ling frowned, "Is it because the Luo Tian Sect, who had disappeared for many days, has rekindled again and ran to Jingjin to cause trouble?"

By the way, the Luotian Sect has quickly changed from open to dark since the continuous setbacks in Jiangnan. In more than two years, there have been almost no incident. There are even rumors that it was caused by severe damage, and the internal disputes have been broken into pieces and there is no threat.

However, Yang Yan smiled distractedly: "Magistrate Li is too worried. How could these little ones dare to come and be arrogant in the important areas of the capital? To be honest, thirty miles east of Yanshi County, a Longxiang army stationed to guard the capital. If they dare to come, they will ask them to come or not!"

Li Ling then smiled: "Shame, after experiencing several incidents in Jiangnan, I couldn't help but feel a little afraid of bandits like Luo Tian Sect, which made Lord Yang laugh." This immediately caused the latter to chuckled a few times, but he didn't say much, just keep moving forward.

After a while, they came to the city, and immediately a subordinate revealed his identity and asked what happened in the city and why they closed the four doors in broad daylight.

The defenders on the city hesitated for a while before an officer hurriedly replied: "My lords, please forgive me. It was because of the murder in the city yesterday, causing several casualties. The county government urgently ordered Guancheng to take over the bandits."

"There are such crazy thieves in the capital!" Yang Yan was immediately annoyed and shouted immediately: "Start the city and let us wait in quickly. Our members of the Ministry of Justice are the nemesis of those thieves!"

The title of officials of the Ministry of Justice is much bigger than that of ordinary county magistrates, so the soldiers guarding the city did not dare to hesitate anymore. They quickly opened the city gate and let them enter.

After seeing the officer in charge, Yang Yan asked, "What is the specific murder case? What is the identity of the deceased? Where is the scene of the murder?" After all, the official of the Ministry of Justice asked was professionalism and a strong aura, which made a small officer stunned.

After a while, he replied, "Xiao... the little one is just doing things on orders, and I don't know much about the specific situation. I only know that it happened in a house in the east of the city. All the dead are all from other places, and more than ten people died..."

More than ten people were still outsiders. When Yang Yan heard these two keywords, he suddenly jumped. He didn't mean to delay any more. He just shook the reins and rushed towards the east of the city first. Seeing this, the others quickly followed. However, Li Ling took a few steps and looked at the officer: "Has the murderer been caught?"

"No...no...there's no...the sound of killing suddenly rose last night, which scared everyone. When we received the order and rushed over, there were only one corpse left. Even a murderer could not be found, so the county magistrate ordered the four gates to be closed and wanted to search for the murderers in the city."

Li Ling smiled, then led the others forward and headed towards the East City.

Yanshi County is not big. If you ride a horse, you can walk from east to west in just a meal. Now they look for the murder scene in the east of the city faster. In just a while, Li Ling saw that there were many Zaoli people standing in front of a mansion standing along the street, and the members of the Ministry of Justice who rushed to the front.

When he ran to the front, he quickly got out and heard Yang Yan's roar sounding inside: "How could this be? How could they die here..." This made a faint light flash in Li Ling's eyes, and then he stepped inside and entered the yard.

The situation in the yard and in the house in front of me was indeed quite shocking. More than a dozen short-dressed corpses were lying in pools of blood. The wounds on several of them were clearly visible, and they were stabbed by sharp blades. And beside them, there were also weapons such as swords, but their skills were not as good as people, and they all became corpses.

A green-robed county magistrate and several other Zaoli were standing there nervously at this time, watching Yang Yan standing in the middle with a distorted face, with murderous intent in his eyes, but he didn't even dare to speak out. Only the magistrate muttered in a low voice: "Mr. Yang... the official..."

Li Ling also exclaimed at the right time: "How could this happen? Lord Yang, this... are you familiar with them?"

"They are from my Ministry of Justice..." Yang Yan, who was a little lost, replied subconsciously, and then he realized that he looked at Li Ling in a strange way, which dissipated a little.

"So that's it. I'm sorry for the Lord's Day... Hey, it's not right. Didn't the Lord just bring someone with me? Then what happened to them?" Li Ling looked at the other party with a look of surprise.

Yang Yan, who was shocked and angry, had recovered and said casually: "Prince Li, please forgive me. This is my errand for the Ministry of Justice, so I can't explain it in detail."

"Is that so? I dare to ask, whose house is here?" Li Ling's last question was the magistrate of Yanshi County beside him, who was confused.

The county magistrate looked at Yang Yan hesitantly, as if he was waiting for his approval to answer. However, a small yamen runner on the side, saw that Li Ling was very arrogant and came in with a high official, so he answered casually: "Sir, this is the family of Zhang Kang, the criminal lieutenant of the county..."

As soon as these words were said, the faces of several officials at the scene changed, especially Yang Yan, whose face turned from the sharp blue to the red one just now. He glanced at Li Ling and said stammeringly: "Master Li, this matter..."

"It seems that Lord Yang, no, it should be the Lords of the Ministry of Justice. This is very trusting to me, Li Ling." Li Ling also darkened his face, "I said that I came to get the prisoners together today, but you sent someone to come yesterday. Then...hey..." The smile was full of ridicule, but it made Yang Yan and the people of the Ministry of Justice not have any trouble with the attack, and their expressions became more strange and embarrassing.

"Master Li also asks to forgive me for my crime. I am very serious. I am just following the order. Moreover, the superiors sent people earlier just to be safe, but they didn't want to..." Yang Yan knew that he was in the wrong, so he could only explain dryly.

Li Ling did not pursue the matter too much, and only glanced back and forth at the scene: "From the situation here, it was your subordinates of the Ministry of Justice who came to take the person but lost their hands, and instead lost their lives?" As he said that, he looked at the more uneasy Yanshi County Magistrate, "Well, Zhang Kang is so powerful that he can easily kill so many officials of the Ministry of Justice?"

The county magistrate was shocked suddenly and then said in a low voice: "It's impossible. Then Zhang Kang is just an ordinary clerk in the yamen. How can he have such skills..."

"This is becoming more and more unreasonable. Are there any accomplices here?" Li Ling narrowed his eyes and expressed his own guess, but Yang Yan did not agree. Instead, he continued to look at the corpses carefully. After a while, he said: "No, Lao Jiang, how many people would be sent here yesterday?"

A subordinate quickly glanced over the many corpses at the scene as he asked, and then he was shocked: "Seventeen brothers are all good at the Supervisor Division, and the leader is still the Iron Captain... But here, why are there fifteen corpses here? Iron Captain is not here..."

Yang Yan suddenly felt even more panicked: "Are you sure?" As he said that, he didn't care about the tragic situation and blood of these corpses. He turned over one by one and carefully checked their faces. The other subordinates also quickly helped and investigated the bodies one by one. Fifteen, now it was confirmed that there were only fifteen corpses, and the iron captain of the Supervisor of the Ministry of Justice was not among them.
