How could Yao Shun have never thought of this? If he really treated it as a murder case, and the body was bombed like this, how could the case be solved? And there was no clue at all. If the case was filed and it could not be solved in the end, it would inevitably be a stain on his political achievements.

Therefore, when Yao Shun heard Ke Bei's words, he interrupted: "Someone in the capital has recently reported that a large number of people have disappeared. How to judge this? Moreover, there have been famines, plagues, and starvation and illness everywhere. It is not surprising that people are burying here if they die."

Officer Ke wanted to go again, but was interrupted by Yao Shun waved his hand and said, "We are here for Mr. Fang's case, let's talk about the others later."

Fang Congzhe listened to Yao Shun's words and looked at Ke Tuiguan and walked away. Although he didn't say anything, his look was enough to express Fang Congzhe's dissatisfaction.

One of them was the assistant of the dynasty and the other was the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture. Since he didn't want to ask about this, he had no choice but to sigh in his heart and then continued to look for clues in the pit in depression.

After searching for nearly half an hour, a group of people found many burnt cloth pieces and scattered corpses. After coroner inspection, they had nothing to do with Fang Shihong.

After searching for so long, there was no clue related to Fang Shihong. Fang Congzhe couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Perhaps he was thinking too much. On the day of the martial arts in Beijing, the father and son of the Zhang family strongly recommended him to test the cannon. Perhaps it was as they said to calm the rumors from the outside world, but the cry for help that day still kept making him feel uneasy.

Seeing that there had not been any clues again for a long time, Fang An came to Fang Congzhe and said, "Master, it is a good thing that there is no clues about the young master here, which means that the young master was not here that day."

Fang Congzhe nodded.

"Master, why don't we look up the mountain? Now with the help of Shuntian Prefecture, we can go to the forest to find it."

Fang Congzhe listened to Fang An's words and said deeply to Yao Shun not far away: "Mr. Yao, since there is nothing else to find here, let's go upstairs and look for it?"

Yao Shun said: "The Lord is trying to do this." Then he said to the yamen runners: "Stop, dig all the bones into a hole and bury them first, and then continue searching on the mountain with me."

Upon hearing this, a group of yamen runners stopped what they were doing and dug a pit in the soil. Although there were several corpses of people, they were all very incomplete. These corpses could not be collected together, so the pits dug by these yamen runners were not big. Soon a group of yamen runners dug a shallow pit to bury the scattered corpses found again.

While these yamen runners were busy digging holes, Fang Congzhe, Yao Shun and others came out of the earth pit to watch. Only Ke Tui Guan was still searching in the pit. Just when the yamen runners buried their bodies, Ke Tui Guan looked at the edge of a soil pit and his face darkened.

He looked up at the people standing on the pit and slowly spoke, "Two sirs, don't have to go up the mountain to find them."

Fang Congzhe's expression suddenly changed when he heard this, and then he stared at Ke Tui Guan without blinking and said in a deep voice: "Ke Tui Guan, what do you mean?"

Ke Bei threw away the piece of soil in his hand, then looked at Fang Congzhe without fear and said, "Master Fang will tell you if you dig it in from this place."

When Yao Shun saw Fang Congzhe's expression was ugly, he quickly scolded Ke Bei: "Officer Ke, don't be stupid. We have searched all the pits and there is nothing to find. Why do you still need to dig up there?"

Ke Bei grabbed a handful of soil from the place he pointed at and said to the people above: "The soil in this place is different from other places. The scorched earth after the explosion is mixed with newly dug soil, and there is blood in this piece of soil. The blood here is different from the previous corpses. Those corpses were buried after death, and the blood mixed in the soil here is sprinkled into the soil and solidified."

"What can that mean?"

"It means that in addition to the previous corpses, there is another person in this place, and this person is not the same as the previous corpses."

After hearing what Ke Tui said, Fang Congzhe shook his body, and Fang An quickly helped him and said, "Master, this can't explain anything. Maybe it's the blood of other beasts on the mountain."

Fang Congzhe shook his head and said to Yao Shun: "Listen to the recommendation of Ke, please dig it out."

When Yao Shun heard this, he ordered to the yamen runners: "Dig in as the place Ke Tui official pointed out."

The yamen runners who had just buried their bodies were ordered to pull out their swords again and start digging the soil. Fang Congzhe saw that the yamen runners were slow to move, so he rushed to the guards and you guys to help.

As soon as the guards jumped out of the earth pit, they heard the yamen runners exclaiming: "Sir, I've dug it."

When Yao Shun heard this, he asked quickly: "What have you dug?"

The yamen runner said, "I can't see it yet."

When the yamen runners saw that they had dug out something, they quickly accelerated their movements. After a while, the two yamen runners in the front reached out and pulled out the dug out.

When everyone saw it, they felt disgusted, but the two yamen runners were holding a pair of broken feet.

The people from Shuntian Mansion and others have come into contact with many cases. It seems that you are not blamed for this thing anymore, but the people from Fang Mansion and the hunter were almost vomiting out when they saw the things in the yamen runner's hand.

Fang Congzhe just took a look and fainted. If Fang An hadn't helped him, Fang Congzhe would have fallen to the ground.

Fang An even called out a few times but didn't respond. He headed towards the guard guards who had just jumped out of the pit and said, "Come up and carry the master back."

After several guards came up, Fang An put Fang Congzhe who had fallen into a coma on the back of a guards, and then said to Yao Shun: "Mr. Yao, I'll leave it to you first. Our master is overworked today and has been worried and scared. Now he is unconscious. I'll take our master back to see the doctor first."

Yao Shun said: "Mr. Fang's health is important. Manager Fang should go down the mountain quickly. I will go to Fang's mansion to visit Mr. Fang later."

Fang An bowed to Yao Shun, and then followed the guard guard with Fang Congzhe on his back and headed down the mountain.

Seeing that the people from Fang's mansion were walking away, Yao Shun lost his scruples at this time and asked at Tutor Ke: "Mr. Ke, do you mean that these two feet are Fang Shihong's?"

Ke Bei frowned and said, "Although I can't be sure, I think it's a mistake. Look at the boots on these feet, the satin brocade ball pattern boots with a thousand-layer bottom. The satin is the best ice silk satin in Shandong. The brocade is the best green-haired brocade among Shu brocades. Even the simple ball pattern is embroidered by the Shu embroidery method. How many people in Beijing can wear this kind of boot? I don't know who is, but he is so cruel."

Yao Shun whispered: "I heard from Manager Fang that Fang Shihong was killed by a round of red barbarian cannons from the Shenji Camp that day of the Beijing Camp. I was also present at the Beijing Camp that day. Twenty red barbarian cannons were bombarded. That situation, let alone blowing people to death, I am afraid that even if they are not blown up, they will scare people to death."

"I heard that Fang Fu was personally in charge of that round of test shooting. Now I think about what kind of deep hatred does the man who tied Fang Shihong have with the Fang family? It was not enough to harm Fang Shihong and he had to let Lord Fang personally direct others to blow his son to death. If Lord Fang had not hit the first shell, then it would not be Lord Fang who directed others to blow his son to death, but he killed his son with his own hands."

After chatting with Yao Shun for a few irrelevant topics, he talked about the case seriously. "Master Yao, come and see, these feet are intact from the lower part of the calf. From the position where the feet are dug out, Fang Shihong should have been half buried in the soil. This is why the feet are intact after a round of artillery. Looking at the broken wound, most of them are charred, and a small part has no traces of burning. It should be that the crater exploded by the Red Barbarian Cannon just reached the position of the calf. Then the crater was buried by the soil blown out of the shells behind, so we only looked around the large pit, and there was no trace of this Young Master Fang."

Yao Shun said: "In this way, those people tied up Fang Shihong but did not kill him, but buried him here and were blown to death?"

"It seems like this is probably the case at this time."

The first case between Fang Shihong and Furong was Shuntian Mansion, which was later handed over to Dali Temple. Therefore, Yao Shun knew the case very well. If anyone in the capital had such a deep hatred with Fang Shihong and dared to take revenge with him, only Zhang Zhiji would be the only one who dared to take revenge on him.

Thinking of the situation when the martial arts performance in Beijing, the British Duke Ben and Fang Fu had a big fight, but they tried hard to give the prize he got to Fang Fu. In this way, the case was basically clear, but Yao Shun had no evidence except speculation. If he wanted to convict a dignified Duke just based on these, it would be a whim.

"Old Li, please check these broken feet." Yao Shun said to the coroner.

Coroner Old Li picked up the broken feet and looked around and said, "Sir, what else can I check for this broken feet?"

"Doesn't there be any need to check the identity of the deceased, the time of death, and the cause of death?"

The coroner had heard what the two said long ago, so he said, "Sir, isn't this all obvious? The deceased, Fang Shihong, the time of death, two days ago, the cause of death was blown to death by the Red Barbarian cannon."

When he saw the coroner like that, Yao Shun said: "Do you want me to write a conclusion that I can draw on the document by guessing?"

When the coroner Lao Li saw that Lord Yao, who looked timid in front of Fang Fu, looked fierce and evil, he quickly ran away with the broken feet.

Then Yao Shun said to a group of yamen runners: "You continue digging, find all the parts you can find, and wrap them up. After returning to the city, I will go to Fang's mansion, and at least leave something for Lord Fang to think about."

The things in the hands of these yamen runners are not good at. Since they have found all the clues and asked them to dig them, they are even more reluctant to do things. They slowly dig for several hours, but they haven't found much. They think they were knocked into scum in that artillery fire.
