Since Zhang Zhongwu promised to get the results of the investigation within three days, of course he first dispatched some subordinates from the army to assist. Among their subordinates, General Lan Yu didn't do his best to help, because the two hundred households he sent were exactly Zhang Laosan, who had been having conflicts, and the two nicknamed Tigers.

Zhang Zhongwu first arranged for his family to live in the inn first, and then explained the whole story to Zhao Shunming, and then started his first mission after coming to the capital. He knew that this was a test for himself. After successfully completing it, he believes that he will be able to gain a firm foothold in the capital, and his official position will rise steadily. If they can't complete it, then there is no need for them to stay in the capital. Maybe their lives are in danger, but Zhang Zhongwu is still quite confident in himself.

So Zhang Zhongwu and the others first came to the post station where the accident happened outside the city. The place has already been sealed off after such a big incident, and ordinary people are prohibited from entering and leaving. The rainwater was washed away, the flowers, plants and trees were all intact, the wooden house did not show any traces after the battle, and even the tables and chairs in the house did not fall down, Zhang Lao Sanbai, who came in with Zhang Zhongwu, couldn't help it. Asked: "Have so many people died here?"

This time, the Baihu nicknamed Tiger actually supported him and said: "Yeah, it really doesn't look like there was a fight here, could it be a play directed and acted by those adults."

Zhang Zhongwu thought for a while and said: "Not necessarily, because those corpses are real, those adults would not kill so many officers and soldiers just to catch those bandits, and it's meaningless to do so."

"What's the reason?" the Baihu named Tiger asked.

Zhang Zhongwu replied with lingering fear: "This can only explain one problem. Those gangsters have very high martial arts skills, and these officers and soldiers have no single enemy." Now he suddenly realized that things were not simple. strong organization.

"Then what if we can't find any clues here?" Zhang Sanbaihu said.

"Who says there are no clues? No clues are the best clues. Besides, we can't find the living, but can't we find the dead? Usually the dead can tell us more." Zhang Zhongwu said.

So the group of them came to Yizhuang again, because the matter had not been resolved, so the bodies of the dead officers and soldiers were parked here, and because of the hot weather, they smelled a corpse smell when they entered, But they could only hold back forcibly and turned over the corpses one by one.

After checking for a long time, Zhang Zhongwu took the lead and said to the hundred households: "Maybe we have to come here for nothing."

The two hundred households sighed in unison, only to hear Zhang Zhongwu say again: "I have already expected the situation here. You see, these officers and soldiers were all killed by one blow. The enemy used ordinary long swords, and never In terms of swordsmanship, there are all schools and sects."

"You can see that too?" Zhang Sanbaihu asked.

"Of course." Zhang Zhongwu said, "Look at this corpse. The sword wound on the throat is shallow on the left and deep on the right. It can be seen that the sword was cut open when it was retracted. And these few are all swords in the heart, and this sword is so fast that it doesn't even flow out of blood. It is the unique swordsmanship of the Tianshan School, so based on these clues, it can only be concluded that these people come from various sects in the Jianghu or because they are extremely skilled in martial arts and are familiar with the martial arts of various sects." He should be After staying in Wudang for a few years, I don’t know how many times I have been to the Cangjing Pavilion. Not only the Wudang sect, but also other sects of martial arts. He also watched it when he brought his son Zhang Baosan to practice. You already know these tricks very well.

"Then which one do you think it is?" Zhang Laosan asked.

"I'm still more inclined that these people are extremely skilled in martial arts, and they all come from one sect." Zhang Zhongwu said, "Because if they are from different sects, their cooperation may not be so tacit."

"Then there shouldn't be many sects with martial arts that have reached this level." Zhang Laosan said.

"Not many." Zhang Zhongwu said confidently, "The Wudang faction is the only one in the world where most people in a sect can achieve this level of martial arts."

"Ah, but I heard that they were exterminated by the court a few years ago, and I have also learned their Taijiquan." Baihu, nicknamed Tiger, said.

"You're the only one who still practices Taijiquan, hehe, I'm dying of laughter." Mr. Zhang Sanbaihu pointed at the tiger Baihu.

"You!" The tiger Baihu jumped up immediately after hearing this, and wanted to beat Zhang Laosan, but fortunately Zhang Zhongwu stopped him.

I just heard Zhang Zhongwu say: "Okay, the imperial court did occupy Wudang Mountain a few years ago, but the Wudang faction did not kill them all. Most of them escaped. They must have been cultivating their health and rest for a few years. Now we have to prepare Revenge."

After hearing this, Zhang Laosan said, "Since it is confirmed that the Wudang faction did it, can we have a business relationship?"

Zhang Zhongwu said helplessly: "No, these are all my guesses. Although even if the guess is wrong, we can still throw the blame on the Wudang faction, but we still have no conclusive evidence. Even if we can fool the people of the world, we still cannot fool the court." , Your Majesty is such a shrewd person, why can't he see that we are wronging them just by finding any sect."

"Then what should we do?" Zhang Laosan said, "We have investigated all the places, and there are no clues. Why don't we ask them to come out again and leave clues for us to investigate?"

Zhang Zhongwu had a flash of inspiration when he heard it, and suddenly thought of a good way, and said: "Who said that they can't come out automatically? In fact, we can impersonate those people to commit crimes. Now those people only commit crimes against the court and officials, and distribute money to others." Ordinary people, so in the eyes of ordinary people, they are chivalrous men who rob the rich and give to the poor, so now we have to discredit their reputation and pretend to be them to attack the common people. Let the merchants and merchants lay hands on them, and let them promote the evil deeds of those people among the people, so as to force them to show up."

"We are not breaking the law by doing this, should we greet the higher-ups first?" Zhang Laosan said.

"No need, time is running out." Zhang Zhongwu explained, "You can explain the situation to the target of the crime in advance, and just pretend, the common people are still very easy to be deceived, even if those self-righteous knights see your fake flaws, they There is no power to change, this is a conspiracy, when they can't help but come to arrest you, we can take good care of them."

"It's feasible." Mr. Zhang Sanbaihu said.

Zhang Zhongwu said again: "But remember that those people's martial arts are extremely high. When they show up, even though there are many of you, don't love to fight. You must make your momentum bigger. The longer the better, no matter how good their martial arts are, As long as there are people, there will always be flaws." Zhang Zhongwu took special care, after all, this is his first mission, and it must be done beautifully. If there are too many dead people, it will not look good.
