The storyteller paused for a while, then continued talking when he saw that everyone's eyes were focused on him.

The victim was Yang Xu, who was murdered and dismembered. The murderer cut off the head and scratched the face so that the identity of the deceased could not be identified.

He was killed and his body was cut into pieces, it was simply too horrible to watch.

Moreover, this case did not occur recently, but at the beginning of the year.

Yang Xu went to Songhe Academy to study, but he didn't come home for a while. His parents thought that their son was studying hard in the cold window. Unexpectedly, a month passed and Yang Xu still didn't go home.

Now, the Yang family's parents were anxious. They went to the academy to inquire and found out that Yang Xu had been missing for more than ten days.

It happened that Yang's father was doing a small business in Kyoto and met the janitor of Jing Zhaoyi's family. He learned that a villager had recently picked up a human head on the outskirts of Kyoto.

He didn't know if the father and son were connected, but Yang's father immediately had a bad premonition. He specially gave money to the people in the Yamen, saying that there was a missing person in the family and he wanted to claim the head.

In spring, Kyoto is not very hot yet. It rains every day and the temperature is not high, so the heads are not rotten yet.

At the same time, the official dispatch received reports from the villagers and found Qigan and Thigh nearby.

It's just that a murder occurred at the feet of the Emperor of Kyoto, but his body was cut into pieces. How can this be tolerated?

Yang's father went to identify the body. Even though the head and face were completely missing, he found a mole on his neck. That was his son, the son he had high hopes for. There was nothing wrong with it!

Yang's father was distraught and his mood was understandable. He fainted and died in the Yamen.

Jing Zhaoyi of the capital had just taken office not long ago, and he was still an acquaintance of Li Haitang, Zhang Ruyi's father, Zhang Zheng, Mr. Zhang.

The deceased was a scholar from Songhe Academy, and his death was tragic. For a time, it caused a very bad impact.

But I don’t know why, but the meaning given above is to reduce big things to small things, make small things small, and finally calm down the matter.

What else doesn’t Father Yang understand? Presumably the murderer is someone he can't afford to offend.

In the Yang family, Yang Xu was the only son. In order for his son to find a good academy, the couple left their hometown and came to Kyoto to make a living. Aren't they looking for a good future?

Now not only is their future gone, but their son is also gone, so what hope does the couple have for living?

Yang's father thought that his son had died unjustly, so he couldn't let it go. They and his wife, even if they risked their lives, they must seek justice!

Hearing this, Li Haitang sighed and prayed in his heart, hoping that this Yang Xu was not Xiangli's fiance, otherwise, it would be difficult to end.

"Madam, I'm afraid it is."

Xiao Lingchuan didn't care about the quality of Taoists, and it wasn't his own business, so he never paid attention to it.

Seeing that his wife still had hope, he had to confess this cruel fact.

There is almost no difference between the plot and the storyteller. The only difference is that the news he received was that Yang Xu's father confirmed that Yang Xu had been killed by identifying his son's thigh.

When Yang Xu was naughty when he was a child, he went to Cui Xiangli's house to play with the dog, and was bitten by the Cui family's big yellow dog. The scar on his calf was in the shape of a crescent.

"The murderer is not only bold, but also cruel."

Li Haitang took a breath. The reason why the other party cut his body into pieces was not because he had a deep grudge against Yang Xu. He was afraid that he didn't want people to discover the fact that he was dead and wanted to hide the past.

After all, there are hundreds to hundreds of students from Songhe Academy alone. Who would pay attention to a small scholar who only has the reputation of being a scholar?

Li Haitang heard the scholar telling stories and continued to speculate on the cause of Yang Xu's death.

"Here, I have to say, Mr. Zhang Zheng, he is really a good official who loves his people like his own son!"

Under such great pressure, Zhang Zheng actually took over the case and, wearing plain clothes, personally visited Songhe Academy and asked about the classmates and friends of the deceased Yang Xu.

Although there are all students in Songhe Academy, there is a clear distinction between those with backgrounds and those without backgrounds. Yang Xu's friends have relatively ordinary families. Many of them are engaged in small business, which is not comparable to those from high schools, but at least they have enough food and clothing.

Yang Xu was cut into pieces and died so miserably. It was obvious that he had offended someone. Everyone was trying to protect themselves and did not tell the truth at all.

However, through investigation, Jing Zhaoyi and Zhang Zheng also learned that Yang Xu had simple interpersonal relationships, studied hard and had no conflicts with anyone.

Before, he lived and ate at home and had only a few acquaintances, including Chen Chun and Du Ruohe, who lived under the same roof.

Zhang Zheng quickly found the two of them and asked some questions. In fact, he was just talking.

The strange thing is that Chen Chun and Du Ruohe seemed to have discussed it, and it was as if they had agreed. He called the two people away separately and got the same answer.

In this way, it is a bit interesting.

Zhang Zheng is an old fox. Knowing that the Du family protects their young, he is ready to find a breakthrough with Chen Chun.

"You killed Yang Xu, right?"

On weekdays, Yang Xu only went home to the academy and had no contact with anyone outside at all, so the scope of the murder was locked at Songhe Academy.

It is precisely because of this that he encountered considerable resistance.

"Master Zhang, you are Jing Zhaoyi, how can you say such unfounded words?"

Chen Chun was confused when asked, and denied everything he said. He also said that everything must be based on evidence. If Zhang Zheng refused to let go, he would go to Dali Temple to file a complaint, saying that he had been framed!

Zhang Zheng returned to the Yamen, knowing what he was doing. Chen Chun's family only had a little money, and his father was far away from Kyoto. How could he have the courage to challenge him? I must have been told beforehand.

Judging from the toughness of his words, there might be something hidden in it.

So after being eliminated and targeted, Zhang Zheng turned his attention to another person in the room, Du Ruohe.

According to Yang Xu's classmates, since Yang Xu's death, Chen Chun and Du Ruohe have become closer. The two are almost inseparable, and they always eat together in the college cafeteria.

This case is confusing.

Yang Xu was killed and the case was not solved. Yang's father and Yang's mother rolled up their bedrolls and made trouble at the gate of Jingzhao Yi Yamen every day.

Within a few days, all the people in the capital knew about it. People were talking about it after dinner, speculating that the murderer was powerful, so Jing Zhaoyi was helpless.

The emperor broke the law, and the common people were guilty of the same crime. He killed someone and didn't leave a whole body. Eighteen generations of our ancestors will be cursed. How could such a huge injustice be treated lightly?

As a result, the common people who couldn't stand it started to make a fuss, and there were also civilian students like Yang Xu, demanding that the truth be returned to him.

The matter fermented and became more and more intense. Just when Zhang Zheng didn't know how to end it, one day, a little beggar came to the Yamen and gave him a booklet. Seeing this, Zhang Zheng gave the little beggar a piece of silver and asked, "Who sent the book? Did you leave anything behind?"
