Chapter 231

Ji Biao stared at Li Yongnian and said coldly: "Mr. Li, I think the identities of these murderers are self-evident. My Lord Hou said that he believes that this matter has nothing to do with Mr. Li. But since my Lord Hou I came to Datong at your invitation. Now that this kind of thing happened, my Lord Hou hopes that you can give a satisfactory explanation. Otherwise, the brothers below will do something when they get excited. You must be able to hold it down."

Li Yongnian smiled wryly in his heart, and he already understood that Jiang Chuan wanted to take advantage of this matter to make a big blow to himself.However, he also had a hard time and couldn't tell why this happened on his own territory, and it was when Jiang Chuan came to Datong.

If this matter gets out, even if Jiang Chuan doesn't pursue it, the imperial court will know about it. Jin Yiwei and those people with sharper noses than dogs will definitely report this matter to the emperor as soon as possible.

At that time, if the emperor sends someone to Datong, he will have to stand aside again, and maybe even his official position will be removed.

Not to mention that Jiang Chuan is young and energetic, and his subordinates are tens of thousands of tigers and wolves. Once provoked, the consequences will be disastrous.

In an instant, Li Yongnian had thought clearly about the pros and cons of the matter, clasped his fists and said in a deep voice, "Please tell Captain Ji to tell Lord Hou that Li Yongnian will definitely give Lord Hou a satisfactory explanation. If the investigation reveals the truth, Lord Hou will not be disappointed."

Ji Biao said in a cold voice: "At the end of the day, I will pass on what Li Zongbing said to Lord Hou verbatim. I hope that Zongbing Li will do what he says, and don't disappoint Lord Hou."

After speaking, he made a gesture of invitation, Li Yongnian took another look at the corpses all over the ground, and took the lead to walk out, followed by several servants hurriedly behind him.

........................

After Bai Mu surrounded the magistrate's Yamen with a large team, he sent someone to smash the door.

The gate of the magistrate's yamen was smashed, and after a while, the lazy and impatient voice of the old gatekeeper came from inside: "Who is it, it's late at night, it's time for your life to come!"

"Jin Yiwei handles the case, open the door quickly!" The door roared in unison, so frightened that the old doorman almost sat down on the ground, trembling for a long time, finally realized what Jin Yiwei was, his face changed drastically, and he hurriedly opened the door.

Before the door was completely opened, a group of Jinyi guards swarmed in, squeezed open the door, and rolled the old door to the side, looking at the group of flaming torches and flying fish in horror. The cold Jin Yiwei who embroidered the spring knife didn't dare to say more.

Bai Mu passed through the crowd, walked in from the gate boldly, and ordered in a cold voice: "No one is allowed to enter or leave without my order, and anyone who violates it will be killed!"

"Promise!" All the guards in Jinyi suddenly agreed, and the old men trembled in fright. I don't know when Jin Yiwei, who has been down for many years, became so rampant. He even dared to barge into the magistrate's office in the middle of the night. Is it going to change again?
Bai Mu didn't care what the old man thought, ordered people to guard the door, and personally led a team of people to go straight to the magistrate's back office, where the magistrate Muzuo's family lived.

Hearing the sound, a group of night-time yamen servants rushed over in a panic, carrying iron rulers and chains, and some even carried water and fire sticks in their hands, rushing toward the front yard in a panic.

These yamen servants thought it was a drunken rascal causing trouble, and they were all aggressive and swearing, but when they turned a corner and suddenly saw a group of sharp swords and spears, when the ferocious Jinyiwei rushed towards them under the light of the torches, they were all dumbfounded eye, do not know what happened.

"Jin Yiwei handles the case, idlers disarm and evade!" The leading Jin Yiwei Baihu shouted sharply, but without stopping, they rushed towards the yamen servants.

The quick-witted one hurriedly dropped the weapon in his hand, and squatted aside with his head in his arms.But there are also those who can't turn their minds around, always feel that Jin Yiwei is too angry and dare not act wild in the prefect's yamen, holding a water and fire stick in his hand and shouting: "What is Jin Yiwei, dare to come to the prefect's yamen to act wild?"

As soon as the words fell, a bright knife flashed by, blood mist overflowed, and a big good man's head had fallen to the ground and rolled out far away, with a hideous face, the other yamen servants hurriedly threw away the utensils in their hands, crouched on the ground with their heads in their hands, their faces terrified, and then I didn't dare to say too much.

Bai Mu snorted coldly, leaving two people to look at these yamen servants, and led the others to continue rushing towards the back yamen.

Along the way, I met the yamen servants who rushed over, as long as they were not long-sighted, they would just kill them without saying a word. By the time they arrived at the gate of the back yamen, three or four good heads had fallen to the ground.

The entire magistrate's yamen was already disturbed, and they didn't know what happened at all. They only heard someone yelling murder, and someone yelling that the Tartars had entered the city.

The magistrate Mu Zuo, who was sleeping with his concubine Liu Qingqing in the back yamen, was woken up by a servant knocking on the door, saying that the Tartars had entered and were killing people everywhere.

Mu Zuo was so frightened that Mu Zuo was dumbfounded. When he heard that Tartar was scared, he didn't have time to verify the news. He hurriedly put on his clothes, and dragged Liu Qingqing, who was also disheveled and discolored, to the back door in panic. Go, it's too late to clean up all the gold and silver.

The entire backyard was in chaos, with men shouting and women crying, the dragons had no leader, and there was chaos.

Mu Yi, the prefect's son, woke up from his sleep. Hearing the cries outside, he was panicked but didn't know what happened. He hurriedly put on his clothes and went out to check.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he went out, he saw a group of ferocious Jinyi guards rushing into the courtyard of the back office. He was shocked and stood there at a loss.

Bai Mu walked in the front, saw Mu Yi who was standing beside him and asked in a cold voice, "Who are you? Where is the prefect of Datong?"

Mu Yi replied subconsciously: "I am Mu Yi, the son of the magistrate, what are you going to do?"

Bai Mu sneered coldly: "Tied!"

As soon as the words fell, two Jinyi guards rushed out and came behind Mu Yi, and when they closed his arms, a cowhide rope was tied around his wrists and hung around his neck at the same time. He yelled and cursed, but felt a pain in his stomach, but was punched hard by a Jin Yiwei, and his body bent like a shrimp.

Asked a servant, after Bai Mu led people into Mu Zuo's room, he found that the person had disappeared, and when he touched the bed, it was still warm. Knowing that he had just left, he sneered in his heart, and he was not in a hurry. All the family members of Mu Zuo in Houya were tied up, while the servant girls and servants were under centralized guard.

Mu Zuo took Liu Qingqing to the back door in a panic, Liu Qingqing even lost a shoe in a panic, crying, how pitiful, but Mu Zuo had no intention of comforting this most beloved concubine.

When the cold wind blew, he came to his senses, and only then did he realize that it should not be the Tartars attacking the city.It was cold winter, and the Tartars never sent troops at this time in previous years.Moreover, it was impossible for the city to be breached suddenly without any warning before. There must be something strange about this matter.

When he wanted to understand these things, he had already reached the back door.Seeing the back door open, there was peace, and he felt relieved, secretly thinking that he had finally escaped.

It's just that before he could smile, as soon as he went out, a cold and bright long knife was placed between his neck, making him freeze all of a sudden.

 The second one arrives.There are two more.
