Tibet

Chapter 460 The last legacy

In the end, Li Ye let Yang Shun go. Li Ye is a person who remembers his kindness. Yang Shun helped him steal the concubine's warrant to make him slap Zhang Jun in the face in front of the emperor. For a small person like Yang Shun, it may only be a few hundred pennies. But not to Li Ye, he has to pay back this favor.

Li Ye felt that he was about to find the answer. The people in Tsing Yi were the key. As long as someone knew the people in Tsing Yi, the answer would be easily solved.

The next morning, Li Ye came to Wanbao Restaurant in Dongshi. Interestingly, Wanbao Restaurant was next door to Zhang Ping's Xiao Zhang Baiwei Restaurant.

The shopkeeper of Wanbao Restaurant is named Xu. He is in his fifties, not tall, and has a kind face.

Li Ye showed him the Dali Temple card, took him to the shopkeeper's room at the back, and asked a few men to guard outside, and he asked the shopkeeper alone.

Shopkeeper Xu was really nervous, wondering what he had done?

Li Ye said softly, "Don't worry about shopkeeper Xu, I'm just asking you for someone."

Shopkeeper Xu breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly bowed and said, "Your Majesty, just ask, and the villain will answer everything!"

"There is a scribe who likes to wear Tsing Yi. He is tall and thin, about 40 years old, and his surname is Tang."

"Could it be Tang Yu!" Shopkeeper Xu blurted out.

"There is a big red mole in the middle of the eyebrow." Li Ye continued to remind.

"Yes! That's him, my fellow countryman Tang Yu. I've known him for many years."

"What is he doing now, and who does he work for?"

"He is King Qing's staff!"

"King Qing Li Cong?"

Shopkeeper Xu nodded, "He has been King Qing's assistant for ten years."

"Do you know Tang Guang's home?"

"I know, I have been to Xinfeng County."

The answer was revealed inadvertently. The real culprit who assassinated the son-in-law turned out to be King Qing Li Cong.

But it is useless to know that it is Qing Wang Li Cong, he still needs evidence.

Li Ye then took a carriage to Xinfeng County, and according to the address provided by shopkeeper Xu, he found the home of Tang Huan, a man in Tsing Yi.

There was actually a government seal on the courtyard door, which really shocked Li Ye.

Li Ye immediately asked his subordinates to ask the neighbors to inquire, but the old neighbor shook his head and didn't know anything.

Li Ye asked his subordinates to give him a few taels of silver, and the old neighbor weighed the silver, and then said to Li Ye: "A lot of people came to the government this morning. I heard that Mr. Tang's wife and children were killed at her natal home last night. My wife His parents and brothers were also killed, and Mr. Tang became a suspect in the case of exterminating the family. He didn't come back for two days, so the government wants to arrest him."

Li Ye immediately understood that Tang Yu had been silenced, and even his family members had been silenced. This Prince Qing was really ruthless. Now all the clues were cut off. He knew that the man behind the scenes was Prince Qing Li Cong, but there was no evidence, so there was no evidence. It doesn't make any sense.

"Thank you!"

Li Ye turned to leave, but the neighbor sighed again: "Fortunately, he still has a daughter, otherwise the family would really be wiped out."

Li Ye turned around abruptly, "You said just now that he still has a daughter? Isn't his wife and children dead?"

The old neighbor smiled, Li Ye understood, and asked his subordinates to give him a few taels of silver. The old man took the money, and then said calmly: "The daughter was born to his ex-wife, who died of illness three years ago, and the current wife Son is his step-wife and two-year-old son."

"How old is his daughter?"

"Five years old this year, she should be at Grandpa's house."

The old neighbor pointed to a house in the distance and said: "The yard with the pigeon cage on the roof is the house of the child's grandfather, surnamed Jiang, who teaches at the county school."

"Does the government know?"

The old man shook his head, "That kid is pitiful. We won't tell you. Seeing that the general looks like a decent man, I won't hide it from the general."

These words are righteous and awe-inspiring, as if they have nothing to do with a few taels of silver.

Li Ye came to the gate of the courtyard with pigeons on the roof. The gate was black-painted with blue bricks and black tiles, and there were drum stones on both sides.

Li Ye winked, and a soldier went up and knocked on the door. After a while, the door creaked open, and a thin old man asked, "Who are you looking for?"

"Bang!" The gate closed, and the old man shouted in the yard, "I haven't broken any law, so don't bother me!"

Li Ye said loudly: "Tang An is dead, do you know that?"

The inside suddenly became quiet, and after a while, the door opened again. The old man poked his head in and said coldly, "He used to be my son-in-law, but after my daughter died, he married another woman. Do you understand? He has nothing to do with me anymore." gone."

"Bang!" The door closed again.

"We are looking for his daughter."

"My granddaughter is only five years old. Why are you looking for her? Do you want to kill her?"

Although the old man was still stern, his tone was obviously a little nervous.

"We didn't kill him, nor did we kill his wife and children. Tang Guang was involved in a big case. If the case is not solved, his daughter will be killed by others sooner or later, and you will not live."

After a while, the door opened a crack for the third time, and the old man asked cautiously, "What's your surname?"

"I am Mr. Lee!"

The old man looked him up and said, "Actually, you are not from Dali Temple, are you?"

Li Ye nodded, "I am a side general, and I was temporarily appointed to investigate this case."

"Are you Li Ye, the governor of Hezhong?"

The other party actually knows about him, there is something going on in this.

Li Ye took out his gold medal and showed it to him for inspection. On the front was the Governor of Hezhong, followed by the two characters Li Ye, both in small seal characters. The old man obviously recognized it.

The door finally opened, "Please come in!"

Li Ye entered the courtyard with a few of his men.

At this time, a well-behaved little lady ran out and hugged the old man's leg.

"Is that her?" Li Ye asked.

The old man nodded, "Her name is Tang Fuer, she is only five years old!"

The old man waved his hand again, "Li Dudu, please speak in the hall!"

Li Ye asked his subordinates to wait in the courtyard, and he followed the old man into the living room.

The two sat down, and the old man asked the child to play in the back. Li Ye asked, "Did his father have a premonition in advance?"

"I think it should be. The child came to me at noon yesterday. I felt strange. I went to find Tang Wei. The door was closed. The neighbor Lao Zhou said that his wife and children had also returned to their natal home. Then this morning I heard his wife General Li, the news that Er's family was killed, have they been silenced?"

Li Ye nodded, "Tang Yu is probably in danger."

The old man sighed for a long time, "Hey! I advised him that Prince Qing is ruthless and unkind, so don't mess with him. Tang Gu didn't listen, and he ended up like this."

What Li Ye cared about was the clues, he pondered for a moment and said, "Since Tang Qing had a hunch, did he leave anything for his daughter?"

"Li Dudu, wait a moment!"

The old man entered the back room and took out a big envelope in a moment. This was found by the child's grandmother in the middle of her clothes last night. Inside was a counter ticket from Baoji Cabinet, [-] coins. The note said, The money is left to his daughter, and there is a letter for you, we dare not open it, take a look! "

The old man took out a counter ticket, a slip of paper and a smaller letter from the large envelope. On the envelope was written, "Hezhong Governor Li Ye personally signed it." '

Li Ye opened the letter to himself, and there was also a note and a letter inside. The note said, "Li Dudu can see this letter. I believe you understand the cause and effect. The letter in front of you is Ann. Lushan's letter to King Qing can prove that the son-in-law Zhang Yi was killed by King Qing, I believe it will subvert the general's imagination, please take care of my poor daughter, Tang Yu Jiuquan is very grateful. '

He looked at the two-page letter again, and it turned out to be a letter written by An Lushan to Prince Qing Li Cong.

The letter said: "I have received the letter. I am glad to hear that His Highness intends to assassinate the son-in-law Zhang Yi. Lu Shan will never object. He is not my man. He should still be the prince's confidant. Killing him will be beneficial to our cause. Remember to be careful."

This letter really overturned Li Ye's imagination. An Lushan's rebellion turned out to be the collusion between King Qing and An Lushan.

Li Ye didn't look any further, he called his soldiers in and fetched 100 taels of gold, which was dug out from Zeng Honger's shack.

Li Ye pushed it to the old man along with his famous post and gold, "This gold belongs to the father of the child, so leave it to the child as a dowry! If the child has any difficulties in the future, just come to me. I am not here, and my father can help you. "
