Xie Xianling's thin chest kept rising and falling, this is a big case, not only because it is an official post station, but also because at least five lives are involved!

He rubbed through the file, thinking that he should let the head catcher take people to the scene to investigate. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Suddenly, an old family member came from behind and whispered in his ear: "Master, go back quickly, someone is looking for you." ”

Xie Xianling frowned: "I have a big case here." ”

The old family said, "The man said that he escaped from death and came to find the old man." ”

Xie Xian Ling was slightly stunned, such a coincidence, could it be related to the case at hand?

You must know that in the county under his jurisdiction, there are no major events on weekdays, and in normal years, it can be regarded as smooth weather. Although the land is barren, the people are still living well, and there are no bandits in the territory.

He put down the file in his hand and followed his old family to the backyard.

The whole county government is a courtyard with a big three. The county government in front of the county order handles official business and goes to the office, and the backyard is the county order's living place. Luyang County is not a big county, and life is hard, so Xie County Ling did not bring his wife and children and went to work alone.

When I arrived in the backyard, I saw a teenager sitting unkempt on the stone steps in the backyard.

"Why don't you go in?" Xie Xianling asked.

"I, I'm so dirty." The boy muttered.

"Don't worry, follow me."

After entering the room, the old family brought a basin of water and handed a coarse cloth to the young man: "Wash first." ”

When the young man hurriedly washed his face, Xie Xianling was taken aback: "Peng Liu? Why are you here? ”

Peng Liu has been frightened for the past few days, for fear that those people will know about his existence. After thinking about it, he thought that he Xie County Commander had come to their post station several times, and the people said that he was a good official and a master of Qingtian, so he came to Xie County Commander and wanted to avenge his second uncle.

Seeing that Xie Xianling knew him, the thrill, fear, and grievances of his escape from death all broke out at once, and he cried "wow".

Xie Xianling knew that something was wrong, and instructed the old family: "Take care of the courtyard gate, no one can be let in." ”

waited for Peng Liu to cry enough, and then asked him: "I just got the news that your post station is on fire, and none of the post guards are spared." ”

Peng Liu sobbed and wiped his tears: "Lord Xie, my second uncle died unjustly!" He choked up and told him everything he had seen that night.

As he spoke, Xie Xianling's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and he kept asking questions.

After the two finished speaking, Xie Xianling had already pieced together the general situation of that night: Guo, the shopkeeper of the Qin family's firm, sold a batch of grain to Dizhou. At the post station, they met people who wanted to collect grain, but for some reason the two did not talk to each other, and then a group of people appeared, killed all the caravan and the post station officials, and transported the grain away.

Thinking about this matter clearly, he gasped, what kind of person is this who has the audacity to kill people and set fire to grab food!

It doesn't make sense, food is not a valuable item, used to commit this heinous crime?

He couldn't figure it out.

Besides, according to Peng Liu's description, this Qin family firm also invited a dart master to escort it, and the strength of those dart masters could not be so bad, so many people were actually served in one pot! Unless, this group of food snatchers is much more skilled than them.

Luyang County, when did such a thief kill people and steal goods? This realm can't afford to support this group of people at all, unless, they are not locals at all!

At this moment, Xie Xianling heard the noise on the street outside, which was extremely lively.

He asked Peng Liu to stay in the house and went out to ask the old family what was going on outside?

The old family was full of excitement: "My lord, Luyang County has been saved!" The official document from the government office, you bring the roster of the county and go to the government office to receive food! The second batch of grain brought by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived! The people outside are celebrating. ”

Between the lightning and flint, Xie Xianling suddenly figured it out!

He only felt a cool breath blowing in from his Celestial Spirit Cover to the back of his spine. Standing in place, his face was blue, his palms were sweaty, and he fought a cold war.

"My lord, what's wrong with you?" The old man asked cautiously, how could you hear this good news that the adults were still unhappy? Look, even a little scared?

Xie Xianling came back to his senses: "It's okay, I suddenly felt a little unwell." You set up a car, prepare the roster with your master, and set off in an hour. By the way, the set of clothes that the subordinates are wearing. ”

Back in the room, Xie Xianling paced back and forth.

If his speculation is correct, this batch of grain from the prince is the same batch that was robbed at the post station. So, was this murder and arson instructed by the prince, or was the prince deceived by his subordinates?

After a few circles back and forth, he made up his mind, took up the pen and wrote a letter, sealed it with fire paint, and stamped his private seal.

called Peng Liu over, and said to him very solemnly: "This matter is very important, and it may be related to the prince." You go wash yourself and change into clean clothes, and you will go to Fucheng with me later." ”

After a slight pause, he said: "You can keep this letter closely." After going to the palace, I will go to see the prince, and you will wait for me at the inn. If I have not come to you in the evening, you will immediately set out for the capital, find He Yushi of the Imperial Observatory, and give him this letter. He is related to me by marriage, let him protect your safety. ”

Although Peng Liu escaped with his wit, what Xie Xianling said was obviously far beyond his understanding. What prince, capital, imperial history, these are too far away from him.

His mind was clouded: "My lord, I just want to avenge my second uncle, how can it be so complicated?" ”

Xie Xianling sighed: "You don't just want to take revenge now, but also save your life." This case, if I expected it to be true, is far beyond my ability. You have to go to the capital to save a small life. Did you go home after the fire at the inn? ”

Peng Liu shook his head: "I don't dare to go back, for fear that those people will find me." ”

Xie Xianling nodded: "Well done." You wash your body first, someone will bring you clothes, and I will come back to you later. ”

When he went out, Xie Xianling called his master and instructed him to prepare a road guide. Then, he went back to the room, took a few coarse cloth clothes, two ingots of snowflake silver, some loose silver and copper coins, and gathered them into a bag, and brought them to Peng Liu.

Peng Liu had already finished washing, tied his hair back to the back of his head, and changed into a brown cloth short. When he cleaned it up like this, he looked like a pretty clever young man.

Xie Xianling handed over the burden to him and instructed: "You must remember that from the time you set foot in the capital, you are not called Peng Liu, your name is He San, your parents are dead, and you went to Beijing to go to relatives." The guide must be put away, you can't get to the capital without this. And let not your possessions be nailed, but hire chariots with copper coins and loose pieces of silver. ”

Peng Liu was stunned when he heard this, and he also felt that something was wrong. Listening to Xie County's order to arrange him properly, he couldn't help but ask: "I'm leaving, what about you, my lord?" ”
