Chapter 329 The Shang Palace Involved in the Small Case

Just as Wu Sansi left with the second inner guard, the previous inner guard who went to the county government came back.

They also brought a few yamen servants with them, all of whom were in charge of the case. When they saw Li Yan at the scene, they were secretly startled, and quickly stepped forward: "Li Jiyi! Young Master Xu didn't know you were here..."

Li Yan waved his hand: "I didn't inform you on purpose. I asked you to come here because I found that there was something suspicious about the horse riding case the day before yesterday, and I needed to verify it."

"As far as I am concerned, whenever a homicide is involved, no matter whether the deceased is a nobleman or a commoner, as long as I encounter it, I will sort out the doubts and find out the truth."

"However, this case is really not that big. As the Law Cao of the Luoyang County Government, Xu Shaofu is busy with official duties, so there is no need to come here. Instead, he delayed other things."

All the yamen servants listened in awe: "Yes!"

Li Yandao: "Check with these witnesses to see if there are any missing details."

These guards quickly matched the testimonies of the surrounding vendors, and returned to the front: "To Li Jiyi, when we asked the day before yesterday, it was the same situation, and there were no new clues."

Li Yandao: "According to what another Wu family member said, Wu Yizong's riding skills are good, and the horse under his crotch has a gentle temperament. He shouldn't suddenly lose control. This person is suspected of riding a horse to commit murder. What do you think about this?"

The yamen servants looked at each other, and someone replied: "Wu Yizong was really flustered at first, but after Zhou Guogong's mansion came, he became arrogant, let the servants drop a few coins, and then left in a big way. It doesn't seem like a murder..."

Another yamen servant thought about it, but suddenly said: "On the contrary, the parents of that girl are a little strange."

Li Yan looked over: "What's strange?"

The yamen servant was a little nervous, but when he thought of Wu Yizong being dragged back to the county yamen and imprisoned, he suddenly became hardened: "I won't give you even ten coins. This week, the Duke of Zhou's mansion is too bullying. Young Master Xu couldn't stand it, so he made up the ten coins. But with such a small compensation, the couple left without crying or begging too much."

Li Yan raised his brows slightly: "Aren't you afraid of the majesty of Duke Zhou's mansion?"

The yamen servant said: "At that time, he was patronizing the Wu family, and he didn't care about anything else. Thinking about it now, the couple never cried, and there was nothing wrong with them. They just lowered their heads, as if they wanted to settle the matter quickly. "

Another yamen servant also said: "Yes, they left immediately after taking the money and painting, and they didn't even hear the couple speak."

Li Yan's face darkened: "I just heard from a vendor I witnessed that the girl who was unfortunately killed was well dressed. How did the couple dress?"

The yamen servant wondered: "Is the girl dressed well? When we arrived, the ground was covered with blood, so we didn't take a closer look, and I hurriedly restrained myself... The couple's clothes are very ordinary!"

Li Yan immediately said to the left and right: "Take him back to the county government office, and check carefully. Recently, some children from rich families have been lost. If the situation is similar to that of the murdered girl, then work with Wu Zuo to verify the identity of the corpse. Hurry up! "

Everyone's expressions changed when they heard the words, and they immediately took orders: "Yes!"

The cross streets of Xiuwenfang are full of streams. Li Yan is sitting on the lion's horse, his eyes are slightly drooping, and he is practicing consciousness-only strength.

The sun was gradually setting in the west, and there was still half an hour before the closing of the square market, and the two parties almost rushed forward.

The case was turbulent again, and the yamen servants did not dare to hide it. After all, Xu Lin, the Luoyang judge, was alarmed. He appeared in front of Li Yan at this time, and kept wiping the sweat from his forehead: "This case is the negligence of the subordinate officials, and the subordinate officials should investigate the case carefully." , I won’t miss all the suspicious points, I hope Li Jiyi will forgive me!”

Wu Sansi ordered a group of Zhou Guogong's servants to drag a green horse over, shouting: "Li Jiyi, I finally brought this fierce horse!"

Li Yan first looked at Xu Lin: "I never like to talk about the big truth, because if you can't remember the next lesson, it's useless to say more, whose child is it?"

Xu Lin broke out in a cold sweat: "It's not certain yet, but a child from a rich family at this age only reported one case to the Yang family a few days ago..."

Li Yan was taken aback: "Mr. Yang? A child of Hongnong Yang's?"

Xu Lin bowed his head: "Yes."

Li Yan understood: "Master Yang has suffered a disaster, so why don't you just ignore his children if they get lost?"

Xu Lin was full of bitterness, and said again and again: "It's the lower official's dereliction of duty! It's the lower official's dereliction of duty!"

In fact, Li Yan knows that it is normal to step up to the high and step down in the officialdom, but when he thought of Yang's crimes, the children were the first to bear it, he couldn't help sighing, and then showed a stern look: "The child-trafficking matchmaker must have If you find out, you will be sentenced to death!"

Xu Lin gritted his teeth: "Li Jiyi, don't worry, the officials will definitely grab those teeth out and make them die!"

This is not an angry word, the law of the Tang Dynasty stipulates that those who rob and sell their lovers as slaves shall be hanged!
Not to mention direct abduction, even people who buy and sell abducted people will be sentenced to prison. Once Yaren is caught, the county government has plenty of ways to make them pay for their evil.

Xu Lin led the team to find the clues of the traffickers, while Li Yan turned to Wu Sansi.

Wu Sansi waited for quite a while, and finally it was his turn, and quickly put on a smile: "Li Jiyi had a clever plan, the horse that Wu Yizong was riding at that time was really at the mansion, and it was very irritable these two days, even the servants were hard to get close to. It was hard for me to bring it, luckily I did not disgrace my life!"

Li Yan was furious in his heart, and directly angrily reprimanded: "Let you lead a horse, dawdle for a long time, what face do you have to say that luck is not disgraceful, go to the side to reflect!"

Wu Sansi stood aside dejectedly, and began to reflect.

Li Yan looked at the green horse that was abruptly dragged over by several healthy servants, and found that the horse's condition was really not right.

Qingcong horses are Longyou BMW. The polo team formed by An Zhongjing back then had all Qingcong horses in the stables.

In comparison, the lion horse is a special breed, because it is too strong and difficult to control, it is basically bought by the aristocratic family to show off, but it is not as easy to ride as the green horse.

However, the green horse in front of him was extremely irritable, the horse's head kept shaking, its four hooves paddled on the ground, making dust everywhere, and its barking was shrill.

Li Yan got off his horse and walked over.

Although his animal friends can no longer endow animals with more spirituality, the breath that makes animals close is constantly released. As he approaches step by step, the restlessness of the green horse is visibly calmed down by the naked eye. Bring out some whimpers.

Li Yan walked in front of him, and gently touched its neck with his palm, making a soothing gesture.

Qing Congma calmed down, but his body was still trembling slightly, while Li Yan's hands kept moving back.

Finally, he lifted the ponytail and found that there was a large ulcer in the buttocks, and there was pus oozing from the wound.

Li Yan frowned. The horse suddenly frightened the day before yesterday and killed the child who was suspected of being lost by Mrs. Yang. Is it a coincidence that the horse has such a serious wound on its rear thigh today?
He doesn't know medical skills, so he will not make a judgment and let professionals come over: "Go to the Taipu Temple and invite a doctor of veterinary medicine with the most experience, and then go to Beishi to find a few servants who specialize in horse training."

In ancient times, there were not enough doctors to treat people, and there were even fewer veterinarians. Fortunately, most of the veterinarians treated horses, also called "horse doctors".

There is another group of people with more experience, that is, servants who specialize in animal training, such as leopard slaves who specialize in training lynxes. They know the habits of lynxes best, and naturally there are more horses.

When the veterinarian and servants arrived, night fell.

Xiuwenfang has been closed, and everyone came to the empty street, lit torches, and continued to search for clues.

The doctor of veterinary medicine is old, and his eyesight is a little blurred. After fumbling for a long time, he dare not make a judgment, and on the contrary, he almost startled Qing Congma again.

On the contrary, the servants plucked up their courage. After carefully inspecting the wound, they discussed in a low voice for a while, and came to Li Yan to report: "This wound looks like a sharp weapon..."

Li Yan's eyes moved: "Sharp weapon?"

At this time, the veterinary doctor was reminded, and tried to widen his eyes: "It's true, come on, give me a hand!"

He took out the tools, and the servants began to help, while Li Yan controlled Qing Congma from the side.

"Sorry!"

Accompanied by a sharp hiss, a bloody piece of meat was dug out, and the veterinarian doctor didn't dislike it. He picked and picked inside, and quickly found a small object, wiped it clean, and presented it to Li Yan with a cloth: "Li Yan Opportunity is what it is!"

Others looked over with the same curiosity, and found that it was a long and thin needle, one end was round, and the other end showed signs of fracture: "What is this?"

Li Yan pinched the broken needle with two fingers, his eyes were cold: "This is the reason why Qing Congma was suddenly frightened and went mad, Jiang Huzi's hidden weapon."

The so-called hidden weapons are really pursuing "darkness", killing people without making a sound, and hidden needles remind him of a person.

Li Yan looked around: "This horse will be handed over to Taipusi. What is involved behind this case may be bigger than I thought. Go back, everyone, take a good rest, and recharge your batteries!"

Everyone also felt that something was wrong, and each took orders: "Yes!"

Li Yan turned on his lion horse, rode his horse and left directly, Wu Sansi wanted to get close, but his shadow was gone, he couldn't help sighing, and muttered: "The job of this inner guard is too scary..."

Li Yan did not go back to the mansion, but came to another mansion and sent the agreed signal outside.

Soon, the owner of the mansion came out over the wall: "Liulang? What happened?"

Among the officials in Luoyang, Ming Chongyan, who was the deputy chief of the inner guard of Meihua, was the only one who could climb over the wall so skillfully.

Li Yan handed over the evidence just now: "Chongyan, look at this needle."

Ming Chongyan took it and looked at it carefully, and his complexion couldn't help changing: "Isn't this Shang Gong's Wuying Needle? Is it the box in Wan'er's hand?"

Li Yan shook his head: "It's not Wan'er's. When Wan'er was sent to Tubo, Shang Gong also gave her a box of shadowless needles, but the box of needles was just similar to it, not as tough."

Ming Chongyan said in a deep voice: "But the forging method is similar. This thing is not easy to forge. Without special skills, it is impossible to make such a hidden weapon. Where did Liu Lang get it?"

Li Yan briefly described the case just now, and Ming Chongyan immediately said after hearing this: "This is definitely not the work of Shang Gong."

"The shadowless needle of that old man has been practiced to the state of transformation. It is said that it is as thin as a hair, and it is impossible to guard against. When it is injected into the body, the scars and the cause of death are impossible to find."

"The skill of the person who made the needle is too weak, and the scars will be left. If the strength is not properly controlled, the needle will be broken directly..."

Li Yan said coldly: "This needle is probably used by the toothmaid. The child wanted to escape in the downtown area. The toothmaid was not easy to chase, so she injected the shadowless needle into the back of the green horse, and the horse galloped in pain... I should have given it a long time ago. Shang Gong took it!"

Ming Chongyan felt a little sad in his tone, and hurriedly said: "It's not Liulang's fault. The old thief from Shanggong has been hiding somewhere recently, and there is no trace of him. We have nowhere to start..."

He came to Luoyang to reward King Yong by order. After solving the turmoil of King Yong, he also began to search for the whereabouts of Shang Gong. After all, the case of Yang Zhirou was about to end, and there would be room in the inner prison to hang newcomers.

However, Shang Gong still couldn't find it.

The only time the old woman showed her face was when the prince was bringing all the officials to Luoyang, when she stopped Wan'er in the motorcade, trying to pull the disciple back to her side.

Li Yan was not in the team at that time, but after Di Renjie and Qiu Shenji came forward, Shang Gong quickly withdrew and never appeared again.

Li Yan didn't attack Shang Gong, one is that Gu Wan'er's mother is still in his hands, and the other is that it is really difficult to pinpoint this old man who hides his head and shows his tail.

Until now.

Li Yan's eyes flickered sharply: "Shang Gong has a relationship with the toothmaid, so we must take it down this time, so that more innocent people will not be harmed by it, and all evil will be eliminated!!"
