Start with a blood-drinking sword and destroy the world of immortal cultivation

Xianggu City Dungeon.

"Dianshi, where are the Yang family members?"

Dianshi's eyes dodge, he hesitates to speak, and finally lowers his head and remains silent.

"Why don't you answer?" Ye Buwen's voice became louder, and his strong voice echoed in the cell.

Dianshi was startled by the sharp shout and quickly replied: "Sir, everyone in the Yang family has been beheaded. There is no Yang family in the prison."

"They were all beheaded!" Ye Buwen was surprised. The Yang family was a famous family in Xianggu City.

The family has many properties and has a large number of guests, servants, and even private soldiers. Together with the members of the family, it is enough to make up hundreds of people.

"Are you sure that all such a big family has been killed?" Ye Buwen confirmed with Dianshi again.

"My lord, the head of the Yang family, his wife, several clan elders, the young and old from neighboring families, and the servants of the Yang family were all questioned and executed one after another seven days after the incident.

Currently, only Yang Gongming, the eldest son of the Yang family, Yang Huiqing, the second daughter of the Yang family, and several elders with martial arts skills are on the run. "

"How many were killed in total?" Ye Buwen asked curiously.

"One hundred and five people."

Ye Buwen couldn't help but be surprised by this number, and then sighed. With one hundred and five people, the Yang family was basically gone.

Ye Buwen was filled with emotion at the fate of his former employer.

"Give me a copy of the Yang family's confession. Since they have been interrogated, the facts of the crime should be investigated clearly."

With the disappearance of the Yang family, the clues to the Yang family have been cut off, and the last trace can only be pinned on the oral confessions recorded in classical history.

However, Ye Buwen did not hold out hope. Given the moral character of this group of people, there was a high possibility of false confessions.

Dian Shi took out a few bamboo slips and placed them in front of Ye Buwen.

"The confession of the Yangs and his wife in the Liu Family Daughter Case:

The eldest son of the family, Yang Gongming, had a bad temper since he was a child, fun-loving and immoral.

Coupled with our increasing favor, his temperament became more and more unscrupulous and disrespectful of the king's law.

When he was only over ten years old, when he first realized the love between a man and a woman, my son Yang Gongmin summoned a maid to rape him in his room.

Since then, my son has become addicted to the joy of having sex, and he must have sex every night.

We did not stop him, but felt that it was beneficial to the family. We often sent servants to look for girls and lure them with money to serve my son.

As he gets older, my son becomes tired of unfaithful women and becomes interested in loyal and strong-willed women.

When I was thirteen years old, my son led his servants to kidnap a good girl named Ye Zinu from nearby Linzi Village, imprisoned her at home, and forced her to have sex.

Ye Zi Nu Zhenlie was tortured to death.

We discovered it too late, so we covered it up and killed the insiders to protect my son's safety.

Because of my protection, my son Yang Gong's reputation became even worse, and he even secretly built a prison cell and raised evil servants.

From the age of 20 to 20, there were more than 100 women who had been raped. Some killed them when they got tired of playing with them, and some committed suicide because they couldn't bear the humiliation.

The well-known ones include Gong...

On July 15th, Miss Liu's family dressed up in disguise to appreciate the moon and read poems at the Moon Appreciation Poetry Party.

Yang Gongming saw that the young lady was fair and beautiful, with a delicate figure and a pure heart, so he felt evil in his heart.

After the poetry meeting, Yang Gongming sent Ye Buwen and other evil servants to follow Miss Liu and abduct her in a deserted place.

He was imprisoned in a secret room in the mansion.

Yang Gongming was cruel and cruel, and beat Ms. Liu with whips and sticks, forcing her to bend over.

During this period, they used forced drugging to obtain Ms. Liu's innocence.

Ms. Liu was fierce and unwilling to be humiliated, so she bit her tongue and committed suicide.

Yang Gongming sent his evil servant Ye Buwen to dress up Miss Liu and transport the body to the east of the city to dump it late at night.

My wife and I both know the evil that Yang Gongming has done, and we have helped him hide it many times. The crime is unpardonable. "

"Ye Zinu, Gong, Wang... they are all the deceased of well-known unidentified murderers, and now they are all placed on the head of one person.

He is indeed a master at investigating crimes, and he clears cases really quickly. "Ye Buwen sneered.

Seventy percent of this confession was fabricated, especially his involvement in kidnapping people and dumping their bodies.

As a person involved, he had no idea that he had ever done such a thing.

But the remaining 30% of the truth gave Ye Buwen some ideas.

For example, among the famous disappearance cases and homicide cases in recent years, some cases are similar to the case of Miss Liu.

They were all beautiful women, but they were all tortured and raped before their deaths.

It is very possible that the same person committed the crime.

"Dianshi, bring me the files of all the cases mentioned in the confession."

Dianshi said respectfully: "Sir, there are no files for these cases."

"No, why?" Ye Buwen was puzzled. There were some big, high-profile cases, and it was fine if they were not investigated. There were no files.

“It is very difficult to investigate these cases, there are almost no clues, and they are all dropped after a superficial investigation.

In addition, the county magistrate said that there were no important clues in the investigation, so there was no need to record it in the book.

So we didn't record it. "

"They are all losers!" Ye Buwen yelled angrily, making Dianshi shrink his neck and lower his head in fear.

"Did Miss Liu really go to the July 15th Poetry Party mentioned in the confession?"

"This confession was fabricated by the magistrate, I don't know."

"Take him and put him in jail."

"A bunch of losers!"

Ye Buwen was very helpless and angry.

Because of this group of losers, there are no useful clues in the yamen records.

…

In the streets of Xianggu City, Ye Buwen led soldiers on a rampage.

Many people looked at Ye Buwen with fear in their eyes.

Be it besieging the city, imprisoning the county magistrate, taking over the city wall to rebel, or numerous rumors spread by the neighbors, the terrifying image of Ye Buwen has been deeply implanted in the hearts of the people.

"Da Da Da~" A burst of hurried footsteps sounded, mixed with the sound of some iron pieces colliding.

Ye Buwen looked back and saw Wang Jinghe running over in a hurry, as if he had something to report.

Wang Jinghe stopped in front of Ye Buwen with a complicated expression.

Two days ago, he was still a captive tied to a tree.

Now he has become a subordinate who obeys Ye Buwen's orders.

His immediate superior was killed by Ye Buwen, and his troops surrendered. When he returned to the army again, everything changed.

Because he survived from Ye Buwen, he became one of the senior leaders of the new army, responsible for contacting and reporting with Ye Buwen.

Even in a subtle way, he became the highest leader of the army except Ye Buwen.

He was under a lot of pressure. On the one hand, he was dissatisfied with Ye Buwen, and on the other hand, he had to maintain a good relationship with Ye Buwen for the lives of his comrades and the stability of Xianggu City.

On the surface, he was Ye Buwen's lackey, but in his heart, he was loyal to the court.

Doing this, he didn't know what his future would be like.

If the imperial army attacks in the future, should he be executed as a traitor as Ye Buwen's lackey, or be rewarded as a hero who compromised to protect the troops and the city.

Wang Jinghe was confused.

"General," Wang Jinghe said with a sense of entanglement, "Our army is short of food, and it is less than what is needed for three days.

In addition, there is no food in the county warehouse, and it is suspected that it has been stolen.

Please make a decision, general."

"There is no food in the county warehouse." Ye Buwen smiled meaningfully.

Xianggu City is a military fortress of moderate size, and it has a lot of food production due to sufficient rain and heat, and is known as a small granary.

The county warehouse should have been sufficient, but now it is empty.

Ye Buwen doesn't believe that he can use up the food in the county warehouse in a few days of siege.

There are many tricks, and considering the character of the county magistrate, he should have embezzled it.

After thinking for a while, Ye Buwen said, "First, go to the county magistrate and the county magistrate's house, check their granaries and money, and confiscate them for military rations.

Then go to the dungeon to find the county magistrate, and take him to the major families, landlords and grain merchants in the city to collect grain.

Anyone who sells grain at a price of more than 100 wen per dou must pay 1,000 dou of grain, those who sell grain at more than 150 wen must pay 10,000 dou of grain, and those who sell grain at more than 200 wen must pay 50,000 dou of grain.

For those who cannot pay the grain, the selling price of their grain will be converted into meat at the market price before the city was closed.

For those who disobey, their homes will be confiscated.

If the confiscated money and grain is too little, the confiscated money will be used to buy from major grain merchants at the previous purchase price, and if it is too much, it will be sold to civilians at the previous market price.

The money obtained will be used to buy meat."

When Wang Jinghe heard Ye Buwen's order, his mouth and eyes were dazed.

After a long while, Wang Jinghe came to his senses and understood Ye Buwen's intention.

He wanted to strike the rich and stabilize the grain prices and people's hearts in the city.

Wang Jinghe had to admire this move, at least he couldn't think of such a way.

If it were him, he would most likely interrogate the county magistrate and order him to gather food, or seek help from the major families.

However, Ye Buwen's method has a disadvantage, which is to offend the powerful families.

Wang Jinghe looked at Ye Buwen, who was still wearing armor, and he never took it off even if he was protected by soldiers, always keeping alert.

"With his strength, he shouldn't be afraid of those families. If he is not happy, he will kill them all. No one in the city can stop him." Wang Jinghe thought.

"Is there anything else?" Ye Buwen asked.

"No, I will do it now." Wang Jinghe stepped back.

A few seconds later, Wang Jinghe turned back again: "General, do you have any instructions for me? There are many people in the army who can help you do things."

Ye Buwen was a little surprised, but since Wang Jinghe mentioned it, he would naturally not be polite.

"There is a man named Tang Yizheng among the police officers in the government office. You take people to find him and ask him to re-investigate the case of Miss Liu.

There are also suspicious cases involving Ye Zinu, Gong, and Wang."

"Yes, I will take my leave."
