350　　"Um?"

　　Qimuge didn't understand, so Yelu said, "Because whether it was him or not, Nan Batian has already gotten into trouble, and that's what he wants."

　　Qimugege didn't understand what he said.

　　Yelu didn't say much, just looked outside, his eyes full of admiration. This Chen Jiusi was a wise man.

　　He was right. Whether Chen Jiusi did it or not, he had already succeeded.

　　If it wasn't done by Chen Jiusi, then it was done by Nan Batian. Maybe he really had secret dealings with the Zoroastrians.

　　In this case, I was right to doubt him.

　　What if it isn't?

　　It was Chen Jiusi who framed him, but that doesn't matter. Nan Batian has always been hypocritical to me, and it's time for me to give him a warning.

　　Chen Jiusi just handed himself a knife.

　　but?

　　Yelu narrowed his eyes and said to Qimuge, "Keep an eye on Chen Jiusi recently. Report his whereabouts to me in time!"

　　Qimuge said: "Master, him?"

　　Yelu said: "Just keep an eye on them. Before this batch of weapons is found, everyone will be a suspect."

　　Qimuge said: "Yes."

　　…

　　The matter at Yelu Mansion was soon concluded. Chen Jie and Xiaohu left Yelu Mansion. Xiaohu asked, "Brother Jiusi, what should we do next?"

　　After hearing this, Chen Jie said, "Don't do anything. Ask your people to behave themselves for the next few days. Yelu will send people to keep an eye on us. We just need to arrange the funeral normally and don't do anything extra."

　　"yes."

　　Xiaohu immediately agreed after hearing this.

　　Chen Jie returned to his mansion and immediately arranged for Si Xi to go to the coffin shop to order twenty-eight extra-large golden nanmu coffins to be used for the funeral seven days later.

　　Si Xi went to do it immediately.

　　Just like that, two days passed. During these two days, the entire Mianshui County was in a panic and was caught in a tense search.

　　The Yelu Mansion, the Fishing Gang, and even the Cao Gang all sent people to search the streets, especially asking everyone if they heard any sounds similar to jingling-dang-dang.

　　And it was under such circumstances that an earth-shaking event occurred in Mianshui County.

　　That was the once-powerful Mulan nobles, Tara's family. All 36 members of the family were killed overnight, leaving only a 70-year-old old woman.

　　This incident immediately alarmed the entire Mianshui County.

　　You should know that the Tara family was once prominent in Mianshui County.

　　But recently they have suffered misfortunes one after another. The first was Tara, who was killed by Chen Jiusi from the fishing gang while visiting the temple fair in Dongcheng. The case was brought to the Mianshui County government office, but the county magistrate was a timid person and did not dare to offend Chen Jiusi, so he directly announced his release in court.

　　As a result, the next night, all 36 members of the family were killed. If the slaves and workers were included, the total number of people was 70 to 80.

　　The only person who survived was an old lady paralyzed on the kang.

　　Moreover, the murderer was quite arrogant. After killing the woman, he went straight to the paralyzed old woman and said to her: "Your family has committed many evil deeds, and you deserve to be slaughtered. However, I feel sorry for you, an old thing, so I will spare your life. Just live well and see the retribution for your family!"

　　The old lady was so frightened and terrified that she fainted.

　　When they woke up, the entire Tara family had become a ghost town. Later, the people of nearby Mulan discovered the miserable plight of the Tara family and reported it to the police.

　　After reporting to the police, Wu Hong arrived and after an investigation, he found that it was the Zoroastrianism that did it.

　　Why?

　　Because this group of thieves was so arrogant, they actually wrote a line of words on the gate of Tara Family: "If you do too much evil, you will be killed. The death-seeking ghost is watching you!"

　　Below is a huge red lotus.

　　This is the symbol of Zoroastrianism.

　　Seeing such obvious Zoroastrian symbols, if Wu Hong didn't know that it was done by Zoroastrianism, then something strange would have happened.

　　So Wu Hong wanted to ask the old woman who had fainted from fright.

　　However, they were stopped by a group of Mulan people.

　　"Why are you stopping us? We need to investigate thoroughly before we can arrest the person and seek justice for the deceased!"

　　One of Wu Hong's constables said as he looked at a Mulan man who was blocking the road.

　　The Mulan people said, "We Mulan people don't need you Han people to uphold justice. You guys should just go away. We will uphold justice ourselves."

　　Wu Hong frowned slightly and said, "You can't represent the family of the deceased."

　　The Mulan people looked at Wu Hong and said, "You are a Han official, don't you know where this is? This is the Mulan tribe's land. Here, you are just our slaves. What qualifications do you have to ask to see the master?"

　　"you!"

　　Seeing this Mulan man being so arrogant, the younger brother beside Wu Hong shouted loudly, but was stopped by Wu Hong just as he was about to speak.

　　At this moment, an old man walked out from among the Mulan people. When they saw this old man, all the Mulan people saluted solemnly.

　　Yes, this is the representative of the indigenous Mulan people in Mianshui County: Lao Alutai.

　　Old Alutai came over with his stick, looked at Mulanren and said, "Don't be rude."

　　The Mulan man immediately said, "Yes, Uncle Alutai."

　　Old Alutai looked at Wu Hong and said, "Hello, Han police chief. I am Alutai. They all call me Old Alutai."

　　"Regarding the extermination of the Tara clan, I have already gotten the answer from Tara's grandmother. The murderer was not a Zoroastrian, but a gang member named Chen Jiusi!"

　　"Chen Jiusi?"

　　Wu Hong was confused, and Old Alutai said: "Yes, it was Chen Jiusi. Last night, Chen Jiusi and his men..."

　　"Chen Xiaohu!"

　　At this time, a Mulan man behind him spoke up to remind him, and Old Alutai said, "Yes, there was also Chen Xiaohu, who broke into the house together and carried out a massacre. He also threatened my sister, saying that he would kill anyone he saw from Mulan."

　　Wu Hong frowned. When Old Aluta said this, Wu Hong felt that it was possible. Chen Jiusi was a man who hated evil, but he would not believe that he directly exposed his identity and killed Tara's family. Chen Jiusi was not that stupid, right?

　　Wu Hong said: "I want to meet the family of the deceased."

　　"No, my elder sister has passed out due to excessive grief and cannot see guests!"

　　Old Aluta refused directly.

　　In fact, anyone with a discerning eye could see that old Aluta lied, and it was obviously not Chen Jiusi who was responsible for this incident, but old Aluta could not wait to throw the dirty water on Chen Jie.

　　The reason is simple, they have their eyes on Baihutang's refined salt business.

　　As long as the White Tiger Hall does not fall, they will not be able to reap enough benefits. This is the core demand of the Mulan people. Chen Jie is blocking their way to make money.

　　Moreover, old Aluta has confirmed through his connections that as long as Chen Jie takes over his salt fields in Nanhu, they will belong to the Mulan people.

　　So this is why the Mu Lan people insisted on falsely accusing Chen Jie.

　　Including the county government, they instructed Tara's wife to accuse Chen Jiusi, hoping to take down Chen Jiusi and obtain the mining rights of Nanhu Salt Field.

　　As a result, Yelu intervened, causing the false accusation to fail.

　　They were originally planning to discuss the next step, but they never expected that, at the perfect opportunity, Tara's family would be wiped out.

　　You say this doesn't cause panic?

　　Of course it could cause panic, but there were also opportunities in the panic. Old Aluta was the first to react, and the opportunity had come.

　　He rushed over immediately, and when he arrived, he saw the comments and Zoroastrian symbols on the door. He originally wanted to erase them, but Wu Hong and his group arrived, and he didn't have time to destroy the evidence.

　　Then old Aluta prepared to find a witness and went straight to the paralyzed mother of Tara.

　　The old lady was already feeling very sad after yesterday's intimidation and the death of her relatives, but fortunately, she had also gone through difficult times and was still conscious.

　　Old Alutai looked at the old lady and asked, "Old sister, have you seen the murderer clearly?"

　　The old lady said: "Now that I have seen it clearly, I will never forget them even in my dreams!"

　　"What does that look like?"

　　The old lady said, "I couldn't see clearly because they were masked, but they were definitely two women, two vicious women!"

　　Old Alutai: "Well, remember, they are masked, two men with local accents, and they are suspected to be from Xiantao!"

　　Old lady: Hmm?

　　"It's a woman, not a man!"

　　The old lady emphasized again, and then old Alutai said: "Yes, I know, two men..."

　　The old lady: "I want to see someone from the government office!"

　　Old Alutai: "Well, you need to rest. Okay, watch and don't let anyone disturb you!"

　　…

　　This is why the scene just now happened, where old Aluta blocked Wu Hong!

　　The dirty water must be thrown on Chen Jiusi. He made too much money from his salt fields. Such a profitable business should be given to us, the people of Mulan.

　　Wu Hong frowned and said, "Mr. Alutai, you only said one side of the story. Do you have any witnesses?"

　　"have!"

　　Old Aluta clapped his hands, and soon two servants came up with panicked expressions. After they arrived, they knelt directly on the ground.

　　"They are Tara's slaves. They witnessed everything last night!"

　　Old Alutai turned around and looked at them again and said, "The Captain wants to know what happened last night. Tell him what happened last night."

　　The two servants looked at each other and said, "It was Chen Jiusi. It was Chen Jiusi who killed the master's family!"

　　Wu Hong narrowed his eyes and asked, "Do you know Chen Jiusi?"

　　The two servants subconsciously looked at Old Alutai, who nodded. The two servants said, "Who doesn't know the famous White Tiger Hall Master? Of course we know him."

　　"Oh, it's easy if you know him. I want to ask you how tall this Chen Jiu is, is his face black or white, are his eyebrows thick or thin, and are his eyes big or small?"

　　Wu Hong looked at the two servants and asked.

　　"this..."
