Chapter 8 Investigating the truth
"Murder!"
"Let's stay away! This man is getting fierce."
The onlookers were terrified, and those with weaker psychological endurance had already covered their mouths and ran away.
But there were still many bold onlookers who stayed nearby.
Ye Buwen pulled out his knife and looked in the direction of the voice that had just called his name.
It was a caravan of merchants, and many goods were wrapped in thatch.
A dozen escorts put their hands in the thatch and looked at Ye Buwen solemnly.
A escort who was dressed better and had his name embroidered more beautifully on his chest saluted Ye Buwen with his fists.
After the salute, the escort talked to a man who looked like a businessman.
"Boss, let's leave here first."
The businessman looked very dissatisfied, pointing at the escort's nose and scolding: "What's wrong with your people? They did something unexpected while protecting the escort and caused trouble for the boss."
"Sorry, sorry!" The escort saluted humbly with his fists.
The merchant saw Ye Buwen's eyes on this place, and quickly saluted: "Sir, our men are rude. We will leave now if we don't bother you." After that, the merchant called his men to pull the carriage and turn around. The escort escort was wary of Ye Buwen, fearing that he would rush up and chop people because of his accomplice's behavior just now. Ye Buwen was also wary of this team and the crowd. He was a wanted criminal worth a thousand taels of silver, and there was no shortage of people in the crowd who were tempted. Although there were many people who were ready to move, they were shocked by the sharp blade in Ye Buwen's hand, the defensive equipment on his body, and the technique of killing people with one move. For a long time, no one dared to jump out to fight. Ye Buwen turned his attention back to the city gate and the city wall. The city guards held long spears to protect the city gate and did not rush forward to touch him. Both sides were extremely quiet, maintaining a brief silence, like the calm before the storm. More and more people gathered on the city wall to watch the excitement. Soon, the people on the city wall heard riots. The soldiers standing in front of the city gate put away their spears and opened the wooden stakes blocking the road.
A dozen people walked out of the city gate. The leader was wearing leather armor and holding a two-meter-long spear, and the rest of the soldiers followed behind him.
"Ye Buwen, we have been searching for you for months but have not found your whereabouts. Now you are coming to our door to seek death. It is ridiculous to do such a sensational act." The leader pointed at Ye Buwen and scolded him loudly.
Ye Buwen didn't care and picked up the knife and replied: "I came here with a friendly attitude. Don't come up and fight and kill."
"Do you know why I am wanted?" Ye Buwen looked directly into the soldier's eyes, revealing a great desire for knowledge.
The leading soldier looked at the two trees erected by Ye Buwen, and then looked at Ye Buwen's confused expression, and he was quite shaken and suspicious.
"As the wanted notice says, I am guilty of raping and killing a woman."
"Excuse me, what is the name of the woman I raped and killed, where is she from, and when did it happen? I don't remember doing it."
"We are only responsible for arresting you and bringing you to justice. We don't know the details."
After a moment of silence, Ye Bu asked: "Then let me tell you about my experience.
A few months ago in the afternoon, everything was normal. After accompanying the young master of the Yang family to study, I went home to eat.
After eating, I felt sleepy, so I went to bed to rest for a while.
But at this time, the door of the house was suddenly kicked open, and a stranger came in. A man who was not familiar with the matter rushed in with a long knife in his hand.
Without saying a word, he came up and stabbed me, piercing my chest.
I fought back, broke the bowl I was eating from, and stabbed the man who attacked me with the fragments.
I screamed and left the house, calling for help, but no one came to help.
At this time, a group of soldiers appeared.
I asked them for help, but they were indifferent and did not help. Instead, they asked, "Servants of the Yang Mansion, where is Ye Bu Wen's home?"
I asked them why they were looking for Ye Bu Wen, and the answer I got was "chasing the fugitive."
I was puzzled and thought it was a person with the same name and the same family. I was a man with the surname Ye.
But I was seriously injured, so I asked the soldiers for help again, but the soldiers ignored me and just said, "I have important things to do. Find a friend to take you to the hospital and report the case."
In panic and anxiety, I dragged my serious injuries to find a doctor.
However, the search soldiers learned from my neighbors that I was Ye Buwen.
So many soldiers appeared to hunt me down.
These people were armed with knives and wanted to kill me.
I fled in panic, and was finally surrounded and had to flee out of the city. "
Ye Buwen paused to take a breath and then said: "A few days later, I went back to Xianggu City and found my wanted poster posted on the city wall. The crime I committed was the rape and murder of a good woman. "
After telling his story, Ye Buwen began to ask: "This soldier, did you participate in the search for me?"
The soldier looked at Ye Buwen and nodded: "I participated."
"Who issued the order?"
"The centurion above me."
"When was it issued?"
"In the afternoon, this task was suddenly arranged. The centurion said that the fugitive was fleeing in the city and we needed to send troops to block him."
Ye Buwen pondered for a moment.
According to the soldier's words, the soldiers should have been dispatched after he fled.
"How many people were dispatched in total?"
"Most of the guards in the city were mobilized, about a hundred people."
"Excuse me, after I escaped from the city, how many people were dispatched to search the nearby villages and patrol."
"More than a thousand people, all the barracks were dispatched. Later, the Lincang army came to search the mountain."
Ye Buwen nodded, and he had some idea of the power of the people behind him. After all, he could mobilize a thousand soldiers.
"I was being chased that day and I was on the run. As a person in the city, have you heard who the person I killed was and why I was killed?"
The soldier took a deep look at Ye Buwen and shook his head: "You don't need to ask anymore, I know very little. The only thing I know is what is described in the wanted order. We are not allowed to talk about this matter in the army, otherwise we will violate the law." Flogging, even beheading.
I didn't hear about the murder you committed. "
Ye Buwen looked up at the sky and sighed.
I rarely met someone who was willing to talk, but I didn't get much important information, and things were still a mystery.
"Tell me your name, and if possible, I will spare your life."
Ye Buwen closed his eyes, seeming to be sad.
"Wang Sheng." Wang Sheng raised his spear and pointed the tip at Ye Buwen, "The military order I received is to arrest you and bring you to justice. The military order is irresistible. I hope you can clear your grievances in prison."
Ye Buwen couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "I don't dare to hope for this. The magistrate of Xianggu City doesn't look like the selfless Lord Qingtian.
If I was caught and thrown into prison, I would probably die inexplicably. "
Being inexplicably wanted and killed, Ye Buwen didn't have any trust in the city's justice.
In addition, this is a world with backward technology, and the possibility of finding out the truth is very small.
"Then there's nothing we can do." Wang Sheng said firmly, "Catch him."
Ye Buwen suppressed his human emotions and strengthened his beliefs.
The truth must be obtained even if blood is shed.
"Ha~" the soldier next to Wang Sheng shouted, raising his gun and approaching.
