The Massacre of a Clan Is a Bright Dawn!

He was surprised earlier that the two cloth shops were in trouble and that the injured person was Zhao Xiangyan's fiancé.

Yang Yi had an indescribable feeling in his heart.

It was as if he had thought of some clues, but there was a barrier in the middle, and he could not grasp that trace of spiritual light.

The news of the fire in the rich and noble cloth shop spread throughout Yanggu County in one night.

This made many commoners extremely vigilant. Not only did they keep their important belongings well, but they basically did not dare to light their lamps at night and went to bed early.

Early the next morning, Yang Yi came to a clinic and saw the injured person who had escaped death.

"Wang Sheng, tell me what happened!”

Seeing that Wang Sheng had already woken up, Yang Yi immediately asked him to describe the situation and asked Zhang An to record it.

Wang Fugui's family of more than a dozen people had died in the sea of fire. He needed to figure out what was going on.

"Thank you, county magistrate, for finding someone to save him. Sir, after I sent Xiangyan away, I went back to my room to rest…"

Hearing Yang Yi's question, Wang Sheng immediately told him the details.

However, Yang Yi didn't get much information. Wang Sheng said that he was sleeping at that time, so the information he gave was very limited.

He said that when he woke up, the fire was already raging and he had no idea what had happened.

While Wang Sheng was explaining, Yang Yi was also sizing him up.

He found that the injured person was beyond recognition. There was almost no intact skin on his face.

Perhaps it was because he had inhaled too much smoke, his voice was a little hoarse, and he was not used to it.

"Have a good rest first! If you think of any useful clues, inform the county government immediately!”

After listening to Wang Sheng's story, Yang Yi left with his men and decided to return to the county office to take a look.

After a busy night, the corpses had been collected and placed in the morgue, waiting for Yang Yi's order to dispose of them.

"So many people died. It's a disaster! Get the coroner to examine the corpse!"

There were dozens of corpses covered in white cloth on the ground, including old people and children.

Seeing this, Yang Yi's mood was a little heavy. He felt very sorry for these people's accidental deaths.

Although he was regretful, Yang Yi asked someone to call the coroner to examine these corpses as soon as possible.

There were dozens of people in the Wang family, but only one person ran out. Were the adults and children all drunk?

Even if they were drunk, they would wake up in shock when they saw the fire. It was impossible that they would not even have time to call for help. It was fine if he didn't have time to call for help, but the child didn't even cry?

A moment later, the coroner came to the morgue and began to examine the body according to Yang Yi's request.

It would have been fine if he hadn't checked, but after checking, Yang Yi was shocked.

After the coroner's autopsy, he found that these people were all poisoned before they were burned to death.

Rather than saying that they were burned to death, it was better to say that they were poisoned to death before they were burned to death. That fire was just a cover-up!

This discovery finally made Yang Yi understand why only one person escaped and no one shouted for help.

It turned out that he had been poisoned long ago, and this fire was intentional.

They wanted to cover up the fact that their sect was exterminated!

"Massacre!"

Thinking that this was a murder case that had been planned for a long time, Yang Yi's expression suddenly turned cold. He was furious at the murderer's cruelty and felt that it was unforgivable.

They didn't even let the elderly and children off. They were simply crazy!

"Sir, I found something unusual about the thing you asked me to investigate!”

Knowing that this was a massacre, Yang Yi decided to investigate it to the end.

Coincidentally, at this time, Wu Song's investigation made a discovery.

"Put these corpses into the coffins first. Three days later, regardless of whether the truth was revealed or not, he would be buried in peace!”

Before he left, Yang Yi saw Xing Tong was about to leave with him, so he gave him some instructions.

Wu Song's secret investigation was extremely important. He did not want a third person to know.

"This subordinate accepts the order!"

Hearing Yang Yi's order, Xing Tong stopped in his tracks and immediately responded.

After Yang Yi left, he looked at Yang Yi's back with a thoughtful expression.

"What did you find?"

Yang Yi asked impatiently as she brought Wu Song to the main hall.

There were two murders in a row in the clothing shop. He was very curious about the motives of the murderer and wanted to know who the murderer was.

"My lord. When I was investigating, I found a woman looking for her husband everywhere! She said that her husband had been invited to paint and had not returned home for more than ten days!

The missing person is a young man!"

Wu Song didn't delay and told Yang Yi about his findings.

This case was of great importance. If he could make a contribution, he would be able to secure his position as the head of the capital.

"Missing for more than ten days? Someone asked you to do calligraphy and painting?"

Thinking of this, Yang Yi immediately fell into deep thought. Then, his eyes suddenly opened as he finally grasped what that spiritual light was.

He hurriedly brought Wu Song and the others and immediately rushed to the woman's house to inquire.

The woman's house was a little far from the county town. It took them nearly four hours to reach the woman's house.

When she heard that the county official had arrived, the woman was very happy and immediately told him the whole story in detail.

According to this woman, her husband was often called to paint because of his outstanding painting skills.

In the past, she would come back in three days at most and would even get someone to bring her a letter to tell her that she was safe.

This time, not only had her husband left for too long, she didn't know where he had gone, and no one had sent her a letter.

Thus, she anxiously looked around for people to inquire, hoping to get news of her husband.

Unexpectedly, before the news came, the county magistrate came.

"Take out your man's calligraphy. I want to take a closer look.”

After hearing the details. Yang Yi signaled her not to worry and let him investigate everything.

The woman was naturally very cooperative and hurriedly rummaged through the cabinets to find something.

Soon, the paintings appeared in front of Yang Yi.

"This is…"

It would have been fine if he hadn't looked, but Yang Yi was shocked when he saw it.

He realized that the handwriting of these words was very familiar. He had seen them before in the Zhao Clan's clothing shop. They were very similar to the words 'Heaven and Earth Monarch, Father, and Teacher' on the wall.

Not only were they similar, they were exactly the same.

After seeing this, Yang Yi understood what his spiritual light was.

"But why is Zhao Gang pointing at this piece of calligraphy? Could it be that the person who killed him was this scholar?"

He realized that the clue he had obtained was suddenly cut off.

Yang Yi threw away his doubts and continued to look at the paintings!

"Who is this person?"

After checking, Yang Yi suddenly saw a portrait, and his expression became even more shocked!

He hurriedly asked the owner of the portrait.

The woman did not suspect anything and hurriedly told the truth.

"County Lord, this is my husband's self-portrait in front of the mirror!”

It would have been fine if she hadn't said anything, but when she said it, Yang Yi's eyes widened in shock.

At this moment, he finally knew what the true inspiration he had grasped was. It turned out that the deceased was not referring to the work, but to one of the words.

He discovered that the portrait of this scholar was extremely similar to the deceased Zhao Gang.

The moment the deceased was killed, the meaning of the words pointed to was the word 'Jun' in Heaven, Earth, Monarch, Father, and Teacher!

Who was Jun? Of course, it was Song Huizong, Zhao Ji.

Zhao Ji. There was a Zhao character in it. He was hinting that the person who killed him was surnamed Zhao!

In other words, this woman's husband had already been killed in the Zhao's cloth shop.

And the person who killed him was surnamed Zhao!

Since the corpse was not Zhao Gang, where did he go? Did he disappear into thin air?
