Chapter 362 Guess
"Master Ma, don't talk nonsense. I just said that I have some guesses. As for whether the specifics are the same as my guess, we need to ask the coroner to perform an autopsy to make a final conclusion." The county magistrate said.
"I am just anxious!" said the master of the Ma family.
"Look at what you said. Who wouldn't be anxious when such a big thing happened?" said the person who held him.
"Old Huan, have the bodies of the dead been brought back? I want the coroner to perform a thorough autopsy." The county magistrate said to the master of the Huan family .
"They have been brought back and are now parked in the Yizhuang. If you want to perform an autopsy, go ahead! I also want to know which bastard is so bold."
"How dare he set his sights on my Huan family? When I find this bastard, I will skin him alive." said the master of the Huan family.
"Notify the coroner to perform an autopsy. Report back immediately after the autopsy." The county chancellor called his men and gave them instructions.
"Yes!" The county chancellor's men bowed and retreated.
The county chancellor did not take the words of the head of the Huan family seriously at all. If he guessed correctly, the soldiers who looted their food this time must be soldiers from the imperial court, most likely Wu Wang Li Ke.
He really did not believe that the head of the Huan family would dare to do anything to a prince.
In fact, the county chancellor wronged Li Ke. The whole thing was done by Long Zhi and his Jinyiwei. It had nothing to do with Li Ke, and Li Ke knew nothing about it.
Besides, the standard sabers of the Jinyiwei were different from those used by the Tang army. It was impossible to confirm through the wounds.
"Mr. Huan, what do you think about this matter?" asked the county chancellor.
"I guess it's very likely that the missing helpers colluded with the thieves and robbed our food together with outsiders." said the head of the Huan family.
"How can you be so sure that they committed the crime?" asked the county magistrate.
"They once begged me, hoping that I could take out food to help those bastards, but I refused."
"A bunch of lowly bastards also want to eat my food. My food is more valuable than theirs, but they don't even look at what they are." "
I can keep them as helpers, which is already a gift to them. I give them a meal, but they are not grateful, and they dare to eat outside. They are really a group of ungrateful wolves who can't be fed." The head of the Huan family was shaking with anger.
"You are right, it is because you are too kind that these lowly people dare to push their own limits and take themselves too seriously."
"In my opinion, we should immediately arrest all the families of these people. If we cannot lure out these bastards, maybe we can follow the clues and find these thieves." The county magistrate said.
"The county magistrate is right! Let our yamen handle the arrest." The county magistrate said, and shouted outside: "Captain Gou, quickly take people to bring the family of the criminal to the yamen to see if there are any accomplices."
"Yes!" Gou San took the order and left.
No one discussed this matter anymore, but quietly waited for the result before discussing the next plan.
Half an hour later, the coroner finally got the news.
"The coroners have finished the autopsy and have come up with the results." After listening to his subordinates' reports, the county chief said to everyone.
"Who did it?" the head of the Ma family asked hurriedly.
"I originally thought that Li Ke sent someone to do it, but after the coroner's autopsy, it was different from what I thought." The county chief said.
"What's the difference? What's the difference?" the head of the Ma family said.
"All the dead were killed with one strike. The opponent's method was fast, fierce and accurate. They all died with one strike. It is obvious that the opponent is a group of well-trained people."
"Only the Tang Dynasty's soldiers can do this. However, judging from the wounds of the dead, they are not the standard weapons used by the Tang Dynasty's soldiers, but a kind of weapon that none of us have seen before."
"Judging from the wounds, it is more like the weapons commonly used by the Turks. Therefore, it is not easy to determine whether it is related to Li Ke." The county magistrate said, these are all his guesses.
"What is there to guess? In my opinion, it was Li Ke who did it. Apart from him, who else in Qingxi dares to be so presumptuous." The head of the Ma family said angrily.
"Why do you say that, brother Ma?" asked the county magistrate.
"Our Tang Dynasty is a great country. The previous emperor once took in many Turkic people who migrated from the interior. This Li Ke came to Qingxi on behalf of the emperor. He can mobilize some Turkic people to rob our food. What's so surprising about this?" The head of the Ma family was sure that this was done by Li Ke.
"Should we wait until Gou San and his men bring back the families of those bastards?" said the county magistrate.
Everyone also felt that what the county magistrate said made sense. If it were someone else, he would have taken action to capture the other party long ago, even if it was just a suspicion.
But Li Ke is not an ordinary person. He is a prince of the Tang Dynasty and a minister sent by the emperor. They cannot act recklessly.
"Captain Gou is back!" the servant of the Huan family shouted.
"Quick, let him in." The head of the Ma family was more anxious than anyone else.
"Meet the governor, the county magistrate, and all the heads of the families." Gou San walked in and saluted.
"Gou San, have you caught the person?" the county magistrate asked.
"Return to the governor, when I took people there, the person was gone!" Gou San said.
"What? How could this happen? How could a living person disappear?" The head of the Huan family slammed the table and roared.
He was already very angry because the food was stolen, and now even the person suddenly evaporated from the earth, which made him even more angry.
No one has ever been able to challenge the majesty of the Huan family in Qingxi.
But now, not only did someone dare to challenge the Huan family, but he also slapped the Huan family in the face twice in a row. If they don't teach the other party a lesson and kill the chicken to scare the monkey, how can the Huan family gain a foothold in Qingxi in the future.
"I have inquired many times, and these people were taken away by His Royal Highness Prince Wu's men. They said that he was short of people and needed manpower, so they asked them to help." Gou San said. "
Bullshit, there is no such coincidence in the world. We just lost food and were about to catch the criminals, and they were taken away by that brat Li Ke." "
In my opinion, it was Li Ke who did it secretly. What are you guys still doing here? Let's go and settle the score with Li Ke." The head of the Ma family shouted.
But no one responded to him. After all, the other party was the emperor's younger brother, the prince of the current dynasty. How could they just do it casually?
If you lose food, you can find a way to get it back, but if you lose your life, you lose everything!
No one spoke for a while, and the hall was completely silent. After a long
while, the head of the Huan family said, "This matter is of great importance. We cannot just arbitrarily conclude that it is related to Li Ke because of some speculations. In my opinion, we should take a long-term view."
"What Mr. Huan said makes sense. Aren't there many coincidences in this world? What if this is just a coincidence? It's not good for us to make such a big fuss." A wealthy businessman said.
Everyone nodded in agreement. They all planned to keep this matter to themselves and pretend that nothing happened.
They could tolerate it, but the head of the Ma family could not. He decided to take action himself.
