The Hidden Murderer Behind the Scenes!

"What I'm worried about now is not the murderer, but the person hiding in the county government. This person was either a helper or the mastermind.

Wu Song, you don't have to patrol around these few days. You only need to pay attention to suspicious people in the county government.”

Yang Yi immediately ordered Wu Song after voicing out his guess.

"This subordinate will obey! However, why did Daren suspect Wang Sheng? This subordinate does not quite understand!"

After hearing Yang Yi's instructions, Wu Song accepted the order on the spot.

However, he was still a little curious about Yang Yi suspecting Wang Sheng. In his heart, Wang Sheng had escaped death, so why did he become Zhao Gang again?

He couldn't understand the twists and turns.

Yang Yi immediately explained.

"Think about it. Dozens of members of the Wang family were poisoned to death and then buried in the sea of fire. According to his own account, he had come into contact with Zhao Xiangyan before the fire.

In addition, the two families were about to become relatives, so it was more convenient for Zhao Gang to make a move. The so-called marriage was probably just a conspiracy, and the target was the Wang family's tea house.”

Seeing that Wu Song didn't quite understand, Yang Yi immediately explained.

Only then did Wu Song understand that this was Zhao Gang's family's scheme.

"After hearing what Milord said, this subordinate thought that it was indeed so! If Zhao Gang had killed the real Wang Sheng and used the fire to destroy his appearance and voice, he could have completely concealed himself.

It was just that this person did not expect that Daren was even smarter than him!”

Wu Song went through the matter and praised Yang Yi.

He thought that he had strength, but compared to Yang Yi's intelligence, he was not just a little bit inferior.

"You go first. Remember to keep it a secret!"

After giving the order, Yang Yi had Wu Song take action immediately.

He hadn't been in the county office for long, so there weren't many people he could trust. Wu Song was also a newbie, and he was leaning on him, so he could use it without worry.

A moment later, Wu Song brought the two of them and hurriedly left.

Meanwhile, Yang Yi led two constables and a dozen bailiffs to a certain place in the suburbs where Wang Sheng was recuperating.

"Surround this place! Follow me in."

Arriving at a campus in the suburbs, Yang Yi immediately gave the order.

Hearing the noise outside, a man who was burned beyond recognition and had no hair appeared at the gate of the courtyard.

"Sir, what do you mean?"

The man called Wang Sheng asked when he saw Yang Yi coming at him menacingly.

Fortunately, he was in a terrible state, and the panic on his face was difficult to notice.

"Humph! Zhao Gang, how dare you play the golden silkworm shell in front of me and try to deceive me? Take him down!"

Seeing that this person was still acting, Yang Yi snorted coldly and waved his hand.

Immediately, a few bailiffs drew their long sabers and surrounded the man.

After he did not dare to resist, a few bailiffs immediately rushed forward and held him down tightly. Then, they tied him up.

"Zhao Gang, I didn't expect you to be so heartless as to kill your own sister and wife for money.”

Ignoring his defense, Yang Yi said coldly.

As if realizing that he was really exposed, Zhao Gang, who had been completely unrecognizable, instantly lost his spirit and became a frosted eggplant.

"Such a detailed plan was actually seen through by Daren with a single glance. As expected of the top scholar. That's right, I killed Wang Sheng's family. As long as we swallow his cloth shop, my Zhao family will be able to dominate Yanggu County!”

Realizing that he couldn't escape, Zhao Gang admitted everything.

He explained in detail how he had schemed against the Wang Clan and how he had carried out the murder plan.

After listening to his explanation, Yang Yi finally realized that his initial suspicions were not wrong. Zhao Xiangyan was reporting a fake case in an attempt to confuse Yang Yi.

Fortunately, he was observant. After realizing that it was not Zhao Gang, he cleared the fog and cleared up the clues.

"I didn't expect you to be so vicious. For money, you didn't hesitate to kill dozens of people from the Wang family. Who was the one who tipped you off in the county office? Tell me, and I might be able to take care of your family!”

Yang Yi asked again when he saw that Zhao Gang had confessed.

He said that he was taking care of his family, but in fact, he could also listen to the other way around. The meaning was obvious. If they did not reveal the mastermind, Zhao Gang's children would not have a good life.

This was an interrogation method. There was no need to be too polite to a heartless murderer like Zhao Gang.

Yang Yi's method was indeed effective. Zhao Gang glared at Yang Yi after hearing it.

Sighing, he decided to reveal the mastermind!

"Whoosh!"

Unexpectedly, just as Zhao Gang decided to reveal the truth, a cold light tore through the air.

A sharp arrow accurately hit Zhao Gang's chest, killing him on the spot.

"Chase!"

When he found out that Zhao Gang had been silenced, Yang Yi immediately sent the bailiffs to chase after him.

He wasn't afraid of being shot in the back, but he was afraid that the mastermind wouldn't appear and let the case drag on.

"Xing Dutou has good archery skills. Where are you going?”

After Xing Tong finished shooting the arrow, he realized that it had hit Zhao Gang accurately. He was overjoyed and quickly fled into the distance.

However, just as he pulled away from the crowd, he saw Wu Song holding a stick with both hands. He stood behind him calmly and looked at him with a smile that was not a smile.

Xing Tong's expression darkened at this unexpected scene.

"The county magistrate is indeed powerful, but you want to stop me? I'm afraid I'm not qualified enough!"

"Whoosh!"

Realizing that he couldn't escape, Xing Tong didn't waste any more time. He threw away the longbow in his hand and immediately drew the long saber at his waist.

With dense killing intent, he took the initiative to attack Wu Song.

"Then let's try!"

Seeing that Xing Tong wanted to fight to the death, Wu Song waved his staff and fought with Xing Tong.

"Woo! Wu! Wuuu ~!"

The long staff broke through the air and clashed with Xing Tong.

After just a few moves, Wu Song wielded his staff and gained the upper hand, which shocked Xing Tong.

Only then did he witness the power of the staff technique.

The long staff didn't seem to have much lethality, but in Wu Song's hands, its power was even greater than a large saber.

"Xing Tong? Take him down!"

He led his men into the dense forest and found Xing Tong fighting with Wu Song. Yang Yi waved his hand and immediately asked the bailiffs to go up and help.

After a few rounds, Xing Tong was taken down by Yang Yi.

At this point, the real murderer who had killed countless people had finally revealed himself.

Xing Tong was pinned to the ground. Several bailiffs tied him up before bringing him to Yang Yi.

"I didn't expect you to be so ruthless. You killed so many people for money.”

Yang Yi coldly snorted when he saw Xing Tong being brought in front of him.

At first, he thought that this person was quite capable, but he did not expect him to have such a big appetite. He actually instructed others to kill and prevent fire, and to plunder by force!

"Your Excellency is indeed amazing. You saw through my plan that I had planned for a year.”

Xing Tong praised Yang Yi, his eyes filled with disbelief.

He didn't expect that this young man was so smart that he could see through such a strict plan. Such a high IQ was rarely seen in his life.

"Take him away!"

Yang Yi couldn't be bothered to talk nonsense with him and decided to return to the county office to immediately hear the case.

The trial went smoothly. However, when he checked the accounts of the two fabric dealers, he realized that the case was not over!
