"Your Highness, where are the witnesses?"

Shi Lei saw many people walking down the mountain.

There were many people with mixed eyes, and they were afraid that Prince Zhang would let the witness go by mistake again, so he looked very anxious.

"Far away in the horizon, yet so close."

Zhang Junlin pointed at Xia Gui, who was lying in a pool of blood.

"..."

"..."

The Xichu prisoners present could not control their expressions for an instant.

They all looked at Prince Zhang with stupid expressions on their faces.

They have heard that the dead can speak.

But that situation is mostly used when investigating homicide cases and relying on coroners to retract their confessions.

But now this thief bit his tongue and committed suicide in public, and there is no doubt about the cause of his death.

I really don’t know what else Prince Zhang’s so-called witness can say.

"Your Highness, do you want to ask a man to do it?"

Shi Lei couldn't understand Prince Zhang's intention, so he could only help as much as possible.

Please help?

Zhang Junlin looked at Shi Lei with the same expression of looking at a fool.

Suddenly realizing their confusion, he slapped his forehead.

"It's my fault that I didn't explain it clearly. Sometimes this witness is more honest dead than alive."

"..."

"..."

Everyone looked very speechless.

Of course they know this!

So, we still need to ask for help?

"A living person will lie. It is inevitable that he will alert the enemy when verifying."

Zhang Junlin smiled playfully and poked the dead Xia Gui with his sickle.

"But the dead are different. As long as you take him door to door and touch him, you will definitely be able to surprise the person behind him."

As soon as these words came out.

Everyone suddenly realized.

But immediately afterwards, Shi Lei felt worried again.

"Your Highness, where did the nearly 100 powerful and gentry families in Yangxian County come into contact?"

"Who said you want to touch Yang County?"

Zhang Junlin picked up Xia Gui's body, put it on the horse, led the horse and followed the people down the mountain, explaining to Shi Lei and others who were curious and puzzled.

"Heifeng Village ambushed on the road the day before yesterday and did not take action. I was still worried that the locals were behind it. But after everyone exchanged contracts yesterday, no one of the powerful squires in Yang County was left behind. And Heifeng Village had not been disbanded yesterday. I

Just know that the man behind Heifeng Village is not in Yang County."

Some things are like a leaf that blinds the eye.

Wait for the leaf to be removed.

Shi Lei and others understood immediately.

Why didn't Prince Zhang immediately suppress the bandits when he came to Yang County?

It turned out that I wanted to win without fighting.

As a result, after subduing the powerful gentry, bandits in Yang County still existed.

Knowing that the person behind the scenes was hiding deeper, in order to prevent changes, he went directly to Heifeng Stronghold.

Take it easy when it should be slow, and make decisive decisions when it should be quick.

Such courage and consideration actually allowed a young man who had not yet reached the top to merge!

Shi Lei felt like his heart was sour again.

“The Lord’s messenger is not in Yang County, so where is he?”

Sun Gengdu understood Prince Zhang's method of dealing with Heifeng Village.

But I still don’t understand that if we leave the scope of Yangxian, wouldn’t the suspects become the dignitaries of all other cities in South Vietnam except Yangxian?

We took the dead people and searched them along the way. The bodies were probably going to rot.

When the person behind the scenes can't even recognize him, how can he shock the other party and expose his flaws?

"Brother Gengdu, if you think about it carefully, we delayed our arrival in Zhenzhou and escorted the grain to Yang County on the same day without stopping in Zhenzhou. How could this witness and traitor instigate Heifeng Village and other people to rob the emperor's grain that day?"

Yo.

Not bad.

Zhang Junlin knew that Shi Lei could understand everything with just one click.

boom!

When Sun Gengdu saw Prince Zhang nodding his head to confirm Mr. Shi's statement, an idea flashed in his mind, and he finally figured out the origin of this witness and thief.

"He is a loyal servant of those powerful families in Zhenzhou who disobey the prince's decree!"

"Congratulations to Sun Gengdu, you got the answer right!"

Zhang Junlin was unable to applaud and praise even though he was holding the horse.

I can only give a thumbs up to show my affirmation.

"First go to the dean and see how many colleagues and people with lofty ideals have been recruited in the past three days. For those who are not on the list, I will come to your door in the middle of the night and greet them one by one."

Zhang Junlin chuckled.

The Xichu prisoners suddenly felt a chill on their backs.

Shi Lei couldn't even laugh or cry.

He thought that Prince Zhang was a rare plan to kill two birds with one stone.

Unexpectedly, Prince Zhang also knew how to use the topic to his advantage.

No matter who was behind the scenes this time, after seeing this dead body, the dignitaries in Zhenzhou City did not dare to use the same method to torture the people again, secretly or openly.

To avoid another "ghost" knocking on the door in the middle of the night.

"Your Highness, I have something to ask of you."

"Master Shi, we have such a good relationship, don't use the word "begging", just say it directly."

Zhang Junlin thought to himself: Are you asking me to force me to agree to you?

"Your Highness, I'm hungry. Can I eat and walk at the same time?"

"Okay! Go to the city and buy a few hundred kilograms of roasted meat for everyone to share. As long as you find the mastermind behind it, I will personally cook for everyone!"

I happened to be going to the city to buy some fast horses to ride to Zhenzhou City.

That's enough time to eat.

"Thank you, Your Majesty the Crown Prince!"

…

Ta-ta-ta-ta!

midnight.

The city gate of Zhenzhou City has not been able to fully implement the decree to open up wasteland and allocate farmland.

Still closed.

It blocked the way for the people who wanted to leave the city at night to open up wasteland.

The two soldiers guarding the city gate looked at the carriages deliberately blocked by several dignitaries in front of the gate of the city tower, and sighed in anger but did not dare to speak.

"I don't know when His Royal Highness will be able to return to Zhenzhou City."

"I heard that Yangxian County is already clearing up wasteland and allocating fields, and many bandits who were forced to go up the mountain have also been allocated the fields."

"It's a pity that there are always some powerful people in Zhenzhou City who refuse to accept hard and soft policies and have clever methods. However, those who are greedy for wages are unwilling to open up wasteland, and they also cause refugees and refugees to suffer."

There are many people in the world who can clearly see the reality of the situation.

But there are very few things that can change the situation.
