I deliver food to Wanjie

Chapter 443 459. Help from colleagues 37
He returned to Nanyue City with his men early in the morning. Seeing that they returned safely, the prefect looked a little unhappy.

He had a feeling that these people would definitely find a place to hide and slack off.

If murders continue to happen, he won't be able to keep it secret for long with so many merchants coming and going, otherwise it will affect his promotion. He will definitely dismiss these people before leaving.

After hearing their reply, the prefect felt that these people were simply talking nonsense.

What kind of giant centipede monster is this? What kind of hermit master can fly into the sky?
You're telling me all these weird and fantastic ideas so early in the morning. Do you really think you're so easy to fool?
"You said you saw the other party kill the centipede monster?"

The questioning of the prefect made Captain Lei very worried. When did he say this? They just saw Zhang Yaowen and his men fighting against the ugly centipede. "Sir, we didn't see with our own eyes that the ugly centipede was killed by the other party, but they said that they had sealed the centipede in a cave deep in the mountains.

That ugly thing is poisonous all over. I'm afraid it will be exposed to the outside and harm living beings.

Everything I said is true and I have not exaggerated. If you do not believe me, you can call the brothers who went out with me last night to come over. They have also witnessed it with their own eyes."

The prefect narrowed his eyes and looked at Captain Lei. If what the other party said was true, how should this case be resolved?

If he writes this memorial to the emperor, will the emperor think that he is spreading rumors and misleading the public?

The prefect finally summoned all the other detectives and questioned them one by one, and found that what they said was consistent.

But this does not rule out the possibility that these people made false confessions in order to deceive themselves.

The prefect turned to look at Wu Tongpan, "Sir Wu, do you think what they said is true?"

Wu Tongpan looked at Captain Lei and said, "Sir, I don't think Captain Lei and his men would lie. How about we go to Maojia Village and take a look?
If that thing really came, it would definitely leave traces. They can’t make it up even if they want to.”

It’s a pity that there was no one in the village, otherwise there would be no witnesses.

In fact, he was still willing to believe Captain Lei. After all, Captain Lei had never lied over the years.

According to him, getting rid of that scourge would be a great thing for the entire Nanyue City. At least everyone would not have to worry about their lives anymore. Otherwise, if murders continued to occur, all the officials, big and small, would be held accountable.

"What Lord Wu said makes sense. Let's quickly count the people and go to Maojia Village immediately."

Captain Lei said, "Sir, we can all go with you."

They basically didn't sleep that night, but everyone was excited.

The prefect and several other officials certainly could not leave the city on foot like they did, so the long line of carriages attracted many people to stop and watch.

When they heard that they were going to Maojia Village, everyone couldn't help but give a thumbs up. They thought the prefect was a good man and had personally ordered the people to go to the scene to check it out.

They had also heard about what happened in Maojia Village. During this period, they would close their doors tightly at night to prevent the unknown thugs from coming. If the real culprit could be caught, everyone could have a clear conscience.

There were also people from Maojia Village among them. In order to save their lives, they had to flee from the village, but now they all followed the team silently. The prefect was accompanied by so many officials, so the murderer would certainly not dare to show up again. It was a good opportunity for him to go back and see how the land at home was doing.

The group came to Maojia Village in a mighty procession. But just as they arrived at the entrance of the village, the villagers who had been following them immediately screamed and ran over to check the land. How come the rice that had just been planted had all fallen over? The vegetable fields beside them were all tilted and even crushed. Who the hell had done such a wicked thing while they were not in the village?

Captain Lei ran quickly to the side of Prefect Ming's carriage and said, "Sir, we have arrived at Maojia Village. Yesterday, the monster and the two masters had a fight here. There are many traces here, all left by the monster and the masters."

In order to prove that what they said was true, several constables behind them also nodded. In fact, they were all hiding in the village chief's house at that time and did not dare to come out. They went into the city in a hurry this morning and did not pay attention to the situation here at all.

But now, no matter what, we have to make the adults believe that they are not lying. Anyway, Captain Lei came out last night, so what he said must be correct. If there is any mistake, it is Captain Lei's responsibility.

"It looks a bit tragic," Prefect Ming held Captain Lei's hand, got off the carriage, and walked to the side where there were fallen and broken trees.

"Looking at the marks of these broken trees, what you said is true."

Wu Tongpan and the others who followed over also had serious eyes. Normally, they were used to judging cases, and when it came to overturning verdicts, they could see that these were not something that could be done by human power. Moreover, even if it was something that happened last night, they could still smell that strange fishy odor here today.

Just when the villagers wanted to go into the fields to sort their crops, the sharp-eyed Captain Lei immediately stopped them and said, "Stand still, don't go into the fields."

His roar scared the Mao family villagers so much that they dared not move.

The prefect asked, "What's the matter?"

Captain Lei panted heavily and pointed at the broken limb on the ground. "Sir, if you are not mistaken, that should be the foot of the ugly centipede. The expert said before that the ugly centipede is poisonous all over. If you touch it, it will be dangerous."

He left in a hurry this morning and didn't really pay attention to the situation in the field. At this time, he also remembered that there seemed to be a broken limb in the farmyard.

He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Even if the two masters buried the monster in the cave, he didn't know the exact location, but this broken limb was enough to prove it.

The prefect became interested and brought his men to the place that Captain Lei had just pointed out. He also wanted to see how big that thing was.

If Captain Lei hadn't shouted, everyone would have thought that it was a broken branch dropped on the ground.

The villagers of Maojia Village also saw something new in the field, but it was black and had some mud on it.

"You go and drag the things out," knowing that the prefect had eye problems and couldn't see clearly, he asked the people behind him to pull the things out.

The guard behind him was about to take action but was stopped by Captain Lei.

"Sir, don't rush in yet, just look at the field."

Captain Lei reminded everyone to pay attention to their feet, and everyone's scalp suddenly felt tingling.

The loaches and eels, which are usually difficult to catch, were all scattered on the field with their bellies turned upside down.

"This?" The villagers of Maojia Village turned pale. They had only been away for one night, so how could it turn out like this?

Why did these loaches and eels die here? And the color seems to be a little wrong, why is it a little blue?
