Yi Song

Chapter 29 The Clue Is Broken Again

"I have been playing hawk all my life, and I don't want to be pecked in the eye by a little wild bird. Liu Erlang! If I catch you, I will make you taste my tricks and regret being born in this world."

"Gang leader, is it possible that people over there already know about letting Liu Erlang go, but they still want to use the gang leader now, so they don't trigger it?" Zuo Qianshou said hesitantly.

Fan Sitong was speechless, staring into space for a long time, and then said slowly: "None of these officials can be trusted. In their eyes, we are probably not even as good as dogs. What you said, Qianshou, is not unreasonable. , we have to guard against it.”

"Gang leader, the situation over there is huge. If it really breaks out, I'm afraid even Captain Gao won't be able to protect us."

Fan Sitong looked bitter, stood up, and walked back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back.

Zuo Qianshou held his breath and waited patiently.

A maidservant hurriedly walked in, said a thousand blessings, and asked respectfully: "Alang, the two ladies are asking when Alang will go back to the backyard to rest."

The maid's question ignited the immense anger in Fan Sitong's heart.

"Have a rest! Take a rest! If you don't think of anything else, I will have to rest for the rest of my life. The noise is annoying me to death. Shut up, shut up!"

Fan Sitong rushed forward, kicked the maid over, grabbed her bun, lifted her head, and smashed her head against the ground.

Boom-boom!
  After more than a dozen blows in a row, the poor maid's head was smashed, and her blood and brains flowed all over the floor.

Fan Sitong shook his hands, half of the anger in his heart dissipated, walked to the copper basin in the corner, and washed his hands.

Zuo Qianshou quickly called in his servants, took away the body of the maidservant, poured water on it, and wiped it with a cloth.

After a while, the ground was as clean as new.

Fan Sitong sat on his seat and closed his eyes to relax. After a quarter of an hour, he suddenly opened his eyes.

"Qianshou, spread your eyes and ears to see where Liu Erlang is. No matter how clever the plan is, you can capture this beast alive. I want to see what kind of bezoar dog treasure he has on him that makes them so interested in him."

Zuo Qianshou understood, "I understand, little one. Let's do it right away."

It was another morning in Kaifeng City, and Liu Guozhang and Yue Fei were having breakfast at a foot shop on the roadside.

"Brother, where did Mr. Zhengdao make an appointment?"

"Yuan Pozi Tea House in Second Tianshui Lane."

"It's a bit far away."

"Yes, hurry over after eating. Don't be rude and arrive later than Mr. Zhengdao."

The two of them finished their breakfast, left their meal money, and left.

When we arrived at Yuanpozi Teahouse, there were only three or four diners inside, and Zhang Zeduan and Zhang Jun were not seen.

I opened a private room, told the Huo family, sat inside and waited quietly.

A quarter of an hour later, Zhang Zeduan arrived on time with a man.

The man is about 20 years old, with a Chinese-shaped face, broad eyebrows and round eyes, slightly thick lips, and looks honest and honest.

"This is Ma Kuo and Ma Zichong, the envoy sent by You Zhiyuan to catch the trouble." Zhang Zeduan introduced, "Zichong was originally from Didao, Longxi Prefecture. His father, Ma Zhang, joined the Western Army as a utility soldier in his early years and made many achievements. With military merit, he was transferred to Wuyi Dafu, and is now under the jurisdiction of Dengzhou Bingma Qian.

Zichong used his father's skills to complement his work as a disciple of bow and horse. He excelled in bow and horse and was ready to compete in next year's martial arts competition. There have been a lot of things going on in the capital recently, and Youzhi Jian is too busy. There is a vacancy for the envoy to catch the troubles, so Ma Zhang's friend recommended him to fill the vacancy, which is a bit of experience. "

Ma Kuo took a step forward and said kindly: "I heard Mr. Zhengdao mention Erlang and Pengju as heroes at that time. I am really lucky to get to know them."

"Your Majesty, you're welcome."

"Erlang is serious. I am the fifth in the clan. My relatives and friends call me Wulang and Fifth Brother. Erlang doesn't need to call me by my humble official name. Just call me Wulang and Fifth Brother."

"Okay, I see Wulang is also a generous person. I feel honored to meet him today."

Yue Fei also stepped forward to greet him, "Yue Fei has met Brother Wulang."

"Wulang, just call him Brother Fei."

"Okay, okay. I'm really happy to see you two today."

Zhang Zeduan explained on the side: "Deyuan has to take the exam next spring, so he can stay at home to review his homework. We can't delay him." The four of them sat down, and Liu Guozhang asked: "Brother Zhengdao, when will the two military inspectors come? arrive?"

"We made an appointment at the same time. Wu Lang was waiting for me at the corner of the street early, and you two arrived early too. They are interested. I'm afraid those two won't be so interested. Please wait."

"it is good."

Liu Guozhang was still thinking about how he would later find out from the mouths of the Wang Jun envoy and Tao Jun inspector whose personal entourage sent the message to Zheng Wenchang.

He even thought about it, and when the time came, he would come up with a reason to give the money to buy the news to the two of them.

There are benefits to making friends with two people.

They have a lot of dealings with Kaifeng Mansion and know many people. When assisting in the investigation, find a reason and ask them to come forward to find a familiar scribe in Kaifeng Mansion and take them into the cabinet to read the household registration records.

A full half hour passed before the two of them arrived in a hurry.

"What's wrong, Wang Dalang, Tao Laosi, seeing the angry looks on your faces, what went wrong?"

Zhang Zeduan asked.

"Unfortunately, this morning at midnight, our official in charge, Zheng Guan, did not know what was wrong with him, but he actually sat in the hall and waited at midnight. We did not dare to neglect him and served him respectfully.

As a result, he found five or six mistakes, had a violent attack, and dragged down about a dozen people at all levels to be beaten. Inspector Luo Si even ate thirty-spine sticks and died. "

"Who is Luo Si?"

"He is the personal entourage of Inspector Zhang Jun, the one we are planning to buy the information from. Even Lao Zhang was embarrassed, and was found out and sent to Cangzhou."

Liu Guozhang and Zhang Zeduan looked at each other. I am afraid that the nobleman heard the news and secretly asked Zheng Wenchang to find an excuse to silence him.

The clue is broken again! The man behind the scenes has a few tricks up his sleeve.

The key is that he is weak, has insufficient sources of information, and lacks manpower.

It's a tough start.

"Ignore him for now, let's talk about the murder of Chen Xiushan first. Erlang was having breakfast in the private room next to him. He vaguely heard some noises and made some inferences.

I also told the three of you that I have called you all here today just to sort it out in detail and try to solve the case as soon as possible. We will feel at ease. Wang Dalang and Tao Laosi, you have also abdicated your responsibilities. "

"Exactly, exactly."

"Erlang, if you have anything to say, you can ask first." Zhang Zeduan turned to Liu Guozhang and said.

"Okay, Ambassador Wang, Judge Tao, Wu Lang, I would like to ask, have the results of Chen Xiushan's autopsy come out?"

Ma Kuo was alert and saw that Inspector Wang Jun and Inspector Tao Jun were absent-minded and ignored Liu Guozhang. He probably would not answer attentively, so he took the initiative and said: "I have read the file on Mr. Your Majesty, Judge Tao is here to answer."

The inspector of the Wang Army and the inspector of the Tao Army nodded indifferently.

"The Kaifeng government officials examined Chen Xiushan's body and found that there was only one wound on his body, which was more than two inches wide and deep to his heart. There were no other wounds. It was inferred that he was stabbed to death with a slender blade.

Accurate and ruthless, the murderer should be powerful and familiar with killing techniques. "

When Ma Kuo said this, he nodded to Liu Guozhang.

"We are familiar with Chen Xiushan and he is very powerful. We checked carefully but could not find a suitable candidate. He is originally from Yaozhou and has only been in Tokyo for two years. His family is still at home, and all he associates with are colleagues from the Art Academy. As well as the professors and students of the art gallery, they are all helpless.

After checking again and again, I had no clue, so I had to find another way to check again. "

Ma Kuo's words were implicitly excusing the royal envoy and the Tao army inspector. The idea provided by Liu Guozhang reached a dead end, so the two had to think of other methods.

It's not that they don't care, but they are under the greatest pressure in this case and must find ways to "solve" the case.

Ma Kuo introduced the case in detail, including the investigation of several companions who went to have breakfast together, the investigation of the Huo family, and the investigation of the rental landlord.
  Let's go into detail.

"Erlang, if you have any ideas, you might as well tell me." Zhang Zeduan looked at Liu Guozhang and said with expectation.
