Dinghe County.

There was a group of soldiers outside the yamen gate in the center of the county, and more than twenty people stood inside.

Except for a few Da Zhao people, the rest were all barbarians.

Nurhaji walked out of the crowd.

Among Da Zhao people, he is considered ugly, but among barbarians, he is average, with a pair of arms that are slightly longer than ordinary people.

"Early this morning, when I led the troops passing by the Chengning Road Station, I saw no one came out to greet me and the gate was closed, so I ordered my soldiers to go and check. Unexpectedly..."

Nurhaji paused, and seeing that everyone was listening carefully, he continued: "Unexpectedly, after opening the door, I saw three mad dogs with mouths full of blood, and seven corpses whose appearance was unclear."

Hearing this, many people's expressions changed.

Chengning Road Station was only half a day away from here, and it took less than two hours to ride a horse. In other words, this murder happened under their noses.

"Bring the body up."

Nurhaji walked to the side and gave up the seat in the middle.

Ten corpses covered with white cloth were brought in and placed on the floor in the middle of the Yamen. Judging from the shapes outlined by the white cloth, they should be the seven people and the three dogs.

"Pull the cloth off those three mad dogs."

Nurhaji ordered to the soldiers standing aside.

As the white cloth was pulled away, three yellow-haired dogs with bodies as thin as skin and bones, but whose bellies looked like those of pregnant women, appeared in front of everyone.

Most of the dog's head was stained with blood, and the edges of the dog's mouth turned dark red. There were many shreds of meat hanging from the sharp teeth, and there was a faint smell of blood.

Magistrate Futai has reason to believe.

If it wasn't the beginning of winter and the cold weather outside had already solidified the blood on these corpses, I'm afraid the smell of blood wouldn't be there now.

"Three mad dogs initially wanted to attack my soldiers, but because they ate too much, their abilities were greatly reduced, and they were beaten to death with sticks."

Nurhaji saw that most of the people around him who were also barbarians had pale faces. On the contrary, the faces of the Zhao people who were military advisors and civil servants remained normal. He could only curse them secretly for not living up to expectations, and then ordered his soldiers to remove all the remaining seven pieces of white cloth.

Reveal.

The white cloth was pulled away together, and seven corpses appeared at the same time.

The body was covered in blood and flesh, and there were pits on the hands, legs, and face. Either this or that piece of flesh was missing, as if it had been bitten away by something.

Thinking of the three dogs' big bellies, several barbarians turned pale and bent over to vomit.

Nurhaji glanced at them coldly and said: "After verification, the bite marks on these seven people were all caused by three mad dogs."

Someone asked: "Were they all bitten to death by mad dogs?"

"There was someone else who killed them."

Nurhaji glanced at the man, then came to the corpses and said one by one: "This one was killed by someone cutting his throat with a sharp weapon from behind. This one, this one, this one, and this one were cut from the front."

The person was killed by cutting his throat with a sharp weapon. As expected, this person was bitten to death by a dog, and this one..."

He took two steps forward and stopped next to the worst corpse.

Compared to the others, whose torsos were not bitten because of their armor, this man, who only wore an ordinary animal skin coat, could barely see a piece of intact skin on his body, even his internal organs were exposed, and there was a dagger stuck in his mouth.

"This man was stabbed to death. The murder weapon was the dagger in his mouth, and there was far more than one knife. Based on the depth of the injury, it can be inferred that this assailant is different from the assailant who killed the previous five people."

Nurhaji pulled out the dagger and showed it for a moment, then inserted it back in.

Many people couldn't help but touch their mouths when they saw it.

"Could he be Abate?"

One of the barbarians recognized the blood-stained animal skin clothing on the deceased.

"Abatai seems to be the postmaster of that inn, right?"

"I remember that he once complained to me that he only had six men under his command. In addition, the other men were all wearing ordinary cloth armor. This must be him."

"Who on earth dares to kill me, the Great Master?"

"First he was stabbed with a dagger, and then he was bitten by a dog. This person must be the remnant of Zhao!"

"Nurhaji, have you found any clues about the murderer?"

Futai suppressed his discomfort at the corpses on the ground and looked at Nurhaji, who looked normal.

"There are clues."

Nurhaji turned around and nodded to the soldiers outside the door.

The barbarians turned their eyes one after another and saw two soldiers carrying a door panel in.

Before they could ask questions, the door panel was raised.

A line of blood words caught everyone's eyes.

"The murderer, the two hundred thousand dead souls in Yecheng."

Someone whispered the words in blood on the door panel, and his scalp suddenly felt numb.

As they were less than a day away from Yecheng, they naturally heard about the flames and heavy rain that Yecheng faced after the ten days of massacre, as well as the continuous gloomy wind afterwards.

With no less than 200,000 corpses and those bizarre rumors, the place has long become a ghostland in everyone's mind.

Nurhaji's face was expressionless: "Rather than saying that I found the clue, it's better to say that the murderer left the clue himself."

"There are 200,000 dead souls in Yecheng. This person must be a remnant of the Great Zhao!"

Futai picked up the gavel and slapped it hard with an angry look on his face.

The sudden sound caused many people around to tremble, and several people who had just vomited were so frightened that they became unsteady and knelt on the ground.

This kind of person is worthy of being called a great person, which is ridiculous!

When Nurhaji saw it, he smiled coldly in his heart and said immediately: "In addition to this door panel, I also found some footprints around it."

Futai immediately asked: "But you found someone?"

Since there are barbarians among the dead, the murderer must be arrested as soon as possible, for the sake of all the barbarians in the county, and for himself.

Nurhaji asked people to carry away all the corpses, and then said: "I found the footprints of more than a dozen people and disappeared more than a hundred meters away from the post station. After my soldiers searched, they only found some people killed by wild dogs nearby.

Excavated corpses.”

Futai was a little disappointed: "That's all?"

"In addition, there are some horse hoof prints, and the shape looks like two horses."

Nurhaji didn't wait for him to ask, and continued: "The horse's hoof prints are much clearer than the footprints. Although the traces disappeared later, I have initially found his whereabouts."

A barbarian's eyes widened: "Could this place of rest be our Dinghe County?"

Hearing this, everyone looked at Nurhaji.

It's not like they haven't seen their own people die at the hands of the Zhao people, but none of them have met such a miserable end as Abatai.

The thugs who first stabbed him all over the body with daggers and then let wild dogs eat them came to the county.

Just thinking about it made them tremble.

It's still wartime.

The barbarians who were left in charge of the management of small places were either ordinary barbarians or barbarians with no hope of career in the military.

It was more than just a simple embarrassment for them to face an unknown number of murderers.

"If it weren't for the murderer, he would be right here."

"I won't let people block the Yamen and disperse almost all the people of Zhao."

Nurhaji's eyes passed over the several Da Zhao people next to him, and there was a faint hint of menacing power on his face.

"Master Nurhaji, we have absolutely nothing to do with those murderers,"

Several Da Zhao people immediately knelt on the ground and expressed their loyalty nervously: "Our loyalty to Da Zheng can be seen from the sky and the sun and the moon."

"I can vouch for these people. There is no way that they have anything to do with the remnants of Zhao."

Futai spoke up at the right time and added: "In the past few months, they have cooperated with me in arresting many remnants of Zhao Dynasty."

Nurhaji then looked away from them and said: "I need you to send all your troops and trustworthy people to find the murderer."

After hearing his words, many people expressed doubts.

"But we don't know what the murderers look like, how can we find them?"

"Since they are using weapons, they cannot abandon them. Maybe they can look for them here."

"What if they hide their weapons?"

"What if we don't find anyone and offend those murderers?"
