Back at the mansion, Yang Kuan personally served tea to Yin Tiancheng and said: "The prestige of the elder brother Shenzhu is really not blown, and he saved seven women in just one day." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Li Xiaoyun also praised him on the side, "I started to hear you tell me about the case, I was scared that it was a ghost who committed the crime, but I didn't expect the son to let the thief be exposed in such a short time." ”

But Yin Tiancheng couldn't be happy, he sighed: "There are still six women missing, we have to rescue them as soon as possible." ”

Yang Kuan said: "I destroyed one of their dens this time, but I am afraid that they will be more cautious, and it will not be easy to find another hiding place." ”

"I think so, but time doesn't allow us to delay because they only have six women on hand, so it will be easier to transfer."

Li Xiaoyun smiled and said, "Do you want me to show my beauty trick again?" ”

Yin Tiancheng shook his head again and again, "This time has frightened Miss a lot, how dare I trouble you again." ”

"Punishing evil and promoting good is not just your man's business, our girl's family should also have a share."

Yin Tiancheng had a pride when he heard her words, and he was quite a woman who didn't let her eyebrows go, and she couldn't help but have a good impression of Li Xiaoyun. So he thanked politely: "This gang of thieves has a secret method of committing crimes, and they are very scheming, and the beauty plan has been used once today, and I am afraid that it will not be effective if I use it again." ”

Yin Tiancheng took a sip of tea and said: "But although the thieves have not all been caught, I can basically draw conclusions about this case." ”

Yang Kuan smiled and said: "If your brother has any opinions, you might as well talk to me." ”

Yin Tiancheng then talked to the two of them about his judgment of the case, "The faceless man that Sun Hu met, we haven't captured it today." Since the perpetrator is a human being and not a ghost, then he must have a human face like us, and the facelessness is actually the illusion he creates by covering his face with some kind of elaborate mask. However, we did not find this mask or anything like this at the scene today, which means that he does not live with the perpetrators of today's suicide, but hides in another place, most likely with six other women. ”

Yang Kuan replied: "I also agree with my brother's inference, but now that I have blocked the city gate, it is not easy for him to run out." ”

Yin Tiancheng continued: "It's a little strange that this gang of thieves actually knows me today. ”

"Brother, your name has long been resounding in the rivers and lakes, and those habitual criminals will naturally keep your portrait behind their backs, so they can be wary of you at any time." Yang Kuan disagreed.

Yin Tiancheng said worriedly: "I'm afraid it's not that simple. When I first discovered the thieves' lair, I eavesdropped outside the door, and from their words, I found that this group of thieves were all in the capital, as if they had lived in the capital for a long time, especially the one who wore gray clothes, and spoke with a few official tones. ”

Yang Kuan was surprised: "Could it be that they are from the official government in the capital?" ”

Li Xiaoyun thought about it carefully, and also felt that what Yin Tiancheng said was very reasonable, she said to the two: "Son, you are right, their conversation is indeed an authentic Beijing accent. I found that this group of people, whether sitting or standing, had a straight waist and a military style. ”

Yin Tiancheng nodded and sighed: "Yes, even you can see it, how can I not know." Although their martial arts are very different, their moves do not have the habits of the rivers and lakes, but pay attention to practicality, which is very suitable for facing the enemy, which is also the characteristic of martial arts in the army. What surprised me even more was that they seemed to mention a certain adult when they spoke, judging from the means of their crimes, they were extremely secretive, and they were afraid that their true identity would be known, which also vaguely showed that the adult was a person with a very high status. Judging from the above points, I estimate that they are not small, and the mastermind behind the scenes is likely to be a prominent official and nobleman in Beijing, who is probably much higher than your official position. ”

Yang Kuan gasped when he heard this, he thought that these people were just some rogues, but he never thought that they would have such a deep background. But Yin Tiancheng's analysis is well-founded, and he can't help but believe it.

Seeing that the case was gradually becoming more complicated, Yang Kuan stood up and paced back and forth in the hall, and his expression became a little anxious.

Yin Tiancheng smiled and said: "Brother Yang, could it be that these thieves have a deep background, and they are already cowardly in their hearts? ”

"Afraid?" Yang Kuan said sharply: "Since these guys dare to do such a bad thing under my nose, I don't have to be polite to him, no matter what his origin is, even if it is the king of heaven, I can't spare him." ”

It turned out that Yang Kuan had been an official for many years, and although he was quite well-known among the people, he was also well aware of the sleek skills of officialdom, and his own bones were not hard enough to be afraid of power. But there is a reason why he dares to say such heroic words.

First of all, he has a backer, and this backer is still very strong, he is Yan Daozhong, the current prime minister under one person and above ten thousand people. No matter how hard the thief's backstage is, it can't be as hard as Prime Minister Yan. Secondly, he is not alone, isn't there still Yin Tiancheng now? Yin Tiancheng was promoted from the head catcher in the capital to the four-grade guard with a knife in less than half a year, he was jealous and hateful, and now he is deeply favored by the emperor, in case something happens, Yin Tiancheng's character will never sit idly by, and he must come forward to take all the burden for himself. The last point may not be anything in the eyes of ordinary people, but it is the most important thing for Yang Kuan, that is, the masters of these thieves are too indifferent to themselves! If he had said hello in private, Yang Kuan might have turned a blind eye to the matter after weighing the pros and cons. Yang Kuan was born in poverty and was bullied since he was a child, but fortunately, he finally gained fame after ten years of cold windows, and he was promoted by Prime Minister Yan to sit firmly in the position of the prefect of the daimyo house. Years of officialdom and childhood encounters have cultivated his character of being kind on the outside and strong on the inside.

Yang Kuan made up his mind when he was pacing just now, that is, to crack this case with Yin Tiancheng, extinguish the prestige of these thieves, and let their masters know that the daimyo is their own territory, and it is not your turn to intervene! At the same time, Yang Kuan also had a deeper consideration, that is, when today's son is the master of wisdom, in case things get bigger, he can't bear to punish the officials who fulfill his duties in public with the character of the saint, leaving an infamy for himself. Thinking of this important point, Yang Kuan was even more determined to take a gamble, maybe if he was lucky, he could still make a good impression on the saint with this case, so it would not be a problem to rise to prominence in the officialdom in the future.

Yin Tiancheng didn't know Yang Kuan's scheming, and when he heard his bold statement, he thought that Yang Governor was dedicated to the people, so he also stood up and said: "Since Brother Yang is not afraid, even if the younger brother goes to the soup, he will solve the case and find out the real culprit behind the scenes." ”

Li Xiaoyun saw that Yin Tiancheng was so resolute, and said secretly in her heart: I thought that he had been reincarnated for a long time and had lost his essence in the world. Now it seems that his words are quite proud of the past. Looks like I'll have to help him a few more times in secret, so he can't just sink into it.

At this time, a servant came in and reported: "My lord, the landlord has arrived." ”

"Just in time." Yang Kuan was about to order the officials to open a court trial, but was stopped by Yin Tiancheng.

"Brother Yang, it's just a landlord, there shouldn't be any collusion with the thief, I think it's okay to let him go to the morgue to identify the body and then ask in the back hall." Although Yin Tiancheng is eager to solve the case, he doesn't want to disturb the people, let alone wronged the innocent.

Yang Kuan was about to rely on Yin Tiancheng at this time, so naturally it was not easy to save his face, so he nodded in agreement.

Later, as Yin Tiancheng expected, the landlord really had nothing to do with the thief, he was a businessman, and he had a few properties in Daimyo, and he rented out the vacant house to make some extra money. When the gang of thieves came to rent a house half a month ago, they paid for the house for three months in advance. When encountering such bold tenants, the landlord is naturally happy to pay them rent. As for what they are doing in private, the landlord has no idea.

However, the landlord also provided Yin Tiancheng with an important clue, that is, the thieves first came to see the house were two people, except for the dead man in gray, the other middle-aged man was not one of the dead people who were placed in the morgue. Yin Tiancheng wanted this clue, because it proved his previous judgment that the thieves were divided into two groups.

Yang Kuan saw that he couldn't ask anything from the landlord's mouth, so he sentenced him to 20 boards for the crime of harboring, and several officials heard the order and immediately pulled the landlord down to beat the board.

Yang Kuan said to Yin Tiancheng: "Now that the thieves can't hide, how can I arrest them?" ”

The corners of Yin Tiancheng's mouth lifted lightly, and he said with a smile: "Brother Yang, don't worry, the younger brother already has an idea." Then he told Yang Kuan his plan.

After listening to this, Yang Kuan said yes again and again, Li Xiaoyun also felt that this idea was good, and began to be a little impressed by Yin Tiancheng.
