On the third day after Jarvis led the troops into Zhangzhou, the soldiers took turns to take a holiday. Go to the market, see the bustle, help the people in the market to do some work, and talk to the literati and ink writers about elegance. When I met someone who inquired about the Taiwanese government, I just told the people: there is more wasteland, and there is a lack of population. If some people said that they did not know how to farm, the soldiers told the people, and there were many workshops that lacked people to work. Besides, you can learn if you don't know how to farm, someone will teach you. Although Tan Mo knew that they sincerely wanted to lure the people under his rule to cross the sea, one could not do anything with them, and the other was also flattering, so he didn't care.

That night, Tan Mo had a drink with a few staff members, came up, and sang a little song to the starry sky, and everyone cheered in unison. After a while, he was in a hurry, and called a singer to help him go to the toilet. Someone in the room heard the singer shouting, and when he heard a plop, there was no other sound, and he thought that she had made Tan Mo unhappy and let the master kick. Tan Mo kicked and beat singers and dancers, and it was not strange to kick and stun to death, so no one cared.

After a long time, the kitchen with a box of food and drink, saw a figure on the ground and said, "But which gentleman is drunk?" When he took the lantern and shone it, he was so frightened that his soul flew away, and he shouted, "Someone is coming—the master has been assassinated—" and all the people in the room poured out.

The first to run over was Mr. Li, who snatched the lantern and looked at it, and said, "The master has returned to the west." A group of singers and Qingke immediately cried, and they didn't know whether it was true or not. Mr. Li simply took out the candle in the lantern and looked at it carefully, and said, "One move to seal the throat is extremely neat, and he is a practitioner." "I asked Fang Cai again what about the singer.

Only then did everyone think of her, and they found her in all directions. Several people stepped forward and carried the singer into the house to wake up, and it took her a long time to come back to her senses. He asked her again. It turned out that she helped Tan Mo out of the house before she took a turn, and suddenly saw a black shadow on the tree, so she looked up. The shadow leaped down and kicked her away. She only screamed and fainted, and she didn't know what happened to her.

One of the scavengers shouted, "Hurry up and search!" ”

Mr. Li waved his hand and said, "After such a long time, the assassin must have left early." "I ordered to go and invite Dong Ming, the old official of the torture room, to come.

Dong Ming was invited to check at night. Immediately, he found a piece of paper under Tan Mo's sleeve, and a strange figure was drawn on it. He didn't see what it was, and he stood up. Then he looked around, and said, "The assassin is using a sword, and the sword is extremely sharp, it must be a sword." There was a strand of black silk on the branch, and he was probably wearing a night coat. The silk was silk, which showed that the Assassins were wealthy. He walked around again, pointing to a footprint under a tree three or four away, "The assassin is eight feet tall. "Then he will have a ladder fetched, and he will go up to the roof and see.

There are several strings of footprints on the roof, which are left by the same pair of shoes. Dong Ming got off the roof and said to everyone: "The assassin has stepped on the point three times. And he commanded his dogs to be brought in. The dog ran along the footprints under the tree and ran straight to the base of the west wall of Tan's mansion. Dong Ming said: "The assassin took the fastest path, and he never went around in circles. It can be seen that he knows where the lord has set up a banquet today. ”

He led the dog out of the wall and looked for it again. After a while, the dog found the smell and ran away. After running for a long time, he finally barked at a yard. The faces of the few descendants of the Tan family who came with them changed, and two of them "plopped" and fell to the ground, muttering, "Could it be a ghost?" ”

There was no one left in the house. Their old lady has good tailoring skills, and she made clothes for one of Tan Mo's aunts in the old years. Because the old man was sick, he asked his daughter to come to Tan's house to deliver goods, but he happened to bump into Tan Mo. The girl was only fourteen years old, and her birth was not good, so she somehow made Tan Mo fall in love with her, so she left her daughter and didn't let her go. The girls of small families are pampered, where can they stop Tan Mo's tiger-like person? However, after half a month, the old couple heard that their daughter asked him to detain and force him to be an aunt, but they refused to agree, and came to the house every day to make trouble. Tan Mo is just a freshness, where do you put that girl in your eyes? Once, when he heard the old couple crying, he asked the girl to be strangled to death and the body returned to them. After the old couple buried their daughter, they both committed suicide by hanging beams, and the neighbors helped them enter the ground.

Dong Ming also knew that this family was helpless as a subordinate official. He ordered the door to be smashed. The door was unlocked, and it opened when it was pushed—and everyone was amazed! There was a candle in the house. After the old couple died, someone on the street spread the word that they had seen the old woman open the door and come out of the house in the middle of the night. It became a haunted house, and several neighborhoods moved. Some of them were so frightened that they wanted to run. Dong Ming is not afraid of ghosts and gods, and pulls the dog to walk ahead. But he saw that the room was clean, and it was evident that someone had cleaned it. There was a pair of white candles standing on the desk, and there was a lot of ash piled up in the ash basin on the ground, which was still warm. Dong Ming took a candle casually, examined the ash basin for a long time, and said, "Some are paper money, and some are silk ashes, all of which are burned extremely clean." It is rare to burn paper and burn clothes so cleanly. He sniffed out again, "It turned out to be pouring sesame oil." He walked around the yard with the dog for a long time, and the dog could no longer smell the assassins.

Mr. Li then stepped forward and asked, "Master Dong, do you have any clues?" ”

Dong Ming said: "The assassin is a tall man, who is used to flying eaves and walls, is good at using swords, behaves cautiously, and has been a snitch. ”

Mr. Li asked, "How can you see it?" ”

Dong Ming said: "Insider." ”

Mr. Li nodded: "I'm afraid that it is the relatives and friends of this family who will avenge them." ”

Dong Ming said: "If you are a relative, you must be a relative of a foreign country, and if you are a friend, you must leave Zhangzhou for a long time, and I only learned about it recently." Their family was poor. The Assassins could afford to wear silk, but most of them were not relatives. ”

Mr. Li said: "Since I am a tailor myself, it is also possible to leave some noble people's clothes slots to assemble clothes for important relatives." ”

Dong Ming said: "How many of the nobles' clothing slots are black?" Even if you can put together a piece of clothing, you can't put together a black night dress. ”

Mr. Li felt reasonable, looked around the room for a long time, and said, "I can't see any traces in my later life." Check it out again tomorrow morning. And they dispersed.

Early the next morning, Jarvis led the soldiers out of the exercise and had breakfast, returned to the Chinese army's tent, and told the brothers in detail what had happened last night. Everyone applauded and asked him why he had burned his night clothes. He said: "How can we not guard against our own habitual dogs? The night robe was soaked in spices that could confuse the dog's nose. I heard that the Zhangzhou torture room also used dogs without permission, I am afraid that they will be aware of it. ”

A brother said, "What if you notice it?" We're still afraid he won't make it. ”

Jarvis said, "We'll have to leave in a few days." If people know that we killed Tan Mo, when we leave, the rest of the officials and their successors will have nothing to fear. If there is revenge on the wronged ghost, they will always be a little afraid. ”

Lin Daiyu nodded: "Very much." Ghosts and gods are invisible, but they can restrain the unscrupulous. ”

Jarvis said again: "I have long guessed that there must be someone staring at this place in Fujian, and at first I thought it would be King Wu, but I didn't want it to be King Jin." He said, "I saw Li Qizhi at Tan Mo's banquet. ”

Lin Daiyu thought for a while: "This person seems to be the nephew of King Jin." ”

"Not bad." Jarvis said, "In the early years, I made friends with him in Beijing for a while, and then their family schemed against my brother Shi Meiren, so they broke off contact. This person is among the top among the younger generations of the Jin Queen's Mother's family, I always thought that he must be in the Jin Kingdom, but I didn't want to send Fujian, and I was also a staff member under Tan Mo. Isn't it the same thought as Bering's order to Ding Chu to go to Lu that day? ”

Lin Daiyu pondered: "Why don't you send Huang Wengang to his head?" Huang Wengang is the governor. ”

Jarvis laughed and said: "Although Huang Wengang is not honest, he always has a bit of literati popularity; Where can Tan Mo be unscrupulous? ”

Daiyu said: "I'm afraid that there are other reasons, I have to try to find out." ”

As he was talking, a soldier outside shouted, "Report! "It turned out that someone from Tan Mansion came to report the funeral. The crowd then pretended to be shocked, and Jarvis immediately changed into plain clothes and went to mourn.

Li Qizhi naturally refused to let him see him, so he found an excuse to avoid it. Tan Mo's eldest son presided over the funeral inside, and there were many related and irrelevant cries. Jarvis said some polite words to Uncle Tan and was about to say goodbye, when a person flashed next to him and made a gesture to him: "Does General Jia still remember the little official?" ”

Jarvis looked at it fixedly, and it turned out to be the torture chamber official with a clear expression that he had seen a few days ago, and hurriedly returned the salute: "Lord Dong." ”

Dong Ming said: "The little official has long admired the name of the three great names of the Rongguo Mansion, and I heard that General Jia is well-read and well-read, and there is something left by the assassin today, can you ask General Jia to help you take a look at it." ”

Jarvis hurriedly said, "Please take a look." ”

Dong Ming then took a handkerchief from his sleeve, and wrapped a small piece of paper in it. The piece of paper was square, about the size of a walnut cake, and had a strange picture on it. Jarvis blurted out, "S.H.I.E.L.D!" ”

Dong Ming hurriedly asked, "What is S.H.I.E.L.D.?" ”

Jarvis said, "It's an organization in the green forest that buys and sells news for a living. I heard that their news was very accurate, and all the princes looked for them to do business. ”

Dong Ming asked, "Has Rongguo Mansion also done it?" ”

"Yes." "Extremely expensive. In his early years, he only bought and sold news, and later he also guarded and rescued people. A few years ago, I heard that I occasionally killed people, but I don't know if it's true or not. I think it's mostly fake. ”

Dong Ming asked, "Why is it fake?" ”

Jarvis said: "Killing people is different from saving people, it will offend people. If they only sell news, why should they kill? ”

"What if the guest pays more?"

"Master Dong doesn't know...... They've got enough money from selling news. ”

Dong Ming nodded, and said, "This paper is not our Zhangzhou paper. ”

Jarvis said: "I can't see the paper, this picture doesn't look like a painting, it looks like it was printed with a mold." ”

"When the pattern is carved out of a seal to cover, it is a rouge commonly used by women."

Jarvis said, "Could it be that the assassin is a woman?" ”

Dong Ming said: "The assassin must be a man, similar in shape to General Jia. ”

Jarvis said, "Then he is about already married to a daughter-in-law." ”

Dong Ming said with a smile: "Not necessarily. Most of the time he used the makeup box of the woman in the flower building. Jarvis looked at each other and asked, he said, "The smell of this rouge is too strong, and the rouge of ordinary women is rarely so strong." ”

Jarvis said, "Or is it her good friend?" "The stack of S.H.I.E.L.D. pieces of paper were all prepared by Camellia Zhou.

Dong Ming said: "It's not even safe." "Forgive the little official for taking the liberty of daring to ask anyone under the general's command who stays in the flower building overnight?" Jarvis furrowed. Dong Ming hurriedly said, "Your army has only been in Zhangzhou for a few days, and Lord Tan was assassinated. The little official has found out that the assassin is only afraid of having something to do with Lord Tan's family. It's just that the enemy family has no one in the old years, unless it is a new relative and friend of his family. The family was quite poor, and most of his relatives and friends were poor. In recent years, there have been many people who have crossed the sea from Fujian to Taiwan to open up wasteland, and they can't keep ......"

Jarvis said: "It is strictly forbidden to go to Hualou in our army. If you don't believe it, you can go to the flower houses in Zhangzhou to visit. ”

"What if it finds out?"

Jarvis said: "If it is found out, he will be expelled from the army." It's just that people can't give it to Master Dong, so they have to be taken back to Taiwan with a good life. ”

Dong Ming was stunned: "General Jia, kill to pay for your life." ”

Jarvis sneered and said, "You and I know how Lord Tan is an official. Presumably, the enemy who was no longer there died an unusual death. ”

Dong Ming nodded: "The whole family died because of Lord Tan." ”

Jarvis said, "Therefore, the assassin's killing of Lord Tan is revenge. If it was really done by the soldiers in the last general, the last general fired him because he violated military regulations and stayed in the flower building overnight, not because he took revenge. ”

Dong Ming frowned: "General Jia, Lord Tan is the prefect of a state after all, how can he die in vain." ”

Jarvis said, "It has nothing to do with the last general. As the commander of an army, if I don't protect my soldiers, can I still expect them to kill the enemy for me? Master Dong, we are soldiers. ”

Dong Ming was slightly stunned, and said helplessly: "It's good to know the result." ”

He then left the Tan Mansion and went to Li Qizhi for consultation. It's not that the two have a good relationship, but there is really no one to discuss except him.

When Li Qizhi heard this, he hurriedly asked for the piece of paper to take a look, and said, "It's really the picture of S.H.I.E.L.D." Why didn't you show me last night? ”

"Forget."

Li Qizhi thought for a moment and said, "If the assassins are in the Jarvis army...... A thief from the green forest like S.H.I.E.L.D., who specializes in listening to news, infiltrated the barracks and wandered through the flower building, but he was afraid that ordinary soldiers would not notice it. ”

Dong Ming said: "I'll go to all the flower buildings to check now." ”

Li Qizhi smiled: "It doesn't have to. Depending on who he is, the spies who have infiltrated S.H.I.E.L.D. can't rest assured that the people under his family can't be safeguarded. Now that Jarvis knows about it, he will find out for himself. He can't find out, but the divine Lin Junshi can always find out. ”

Dong Ming waved his hand and said, "I can't trust them." He took the piece of paper and went to all the flower buildings, paper mills, and rouge shops to check it.

They had made a big fuss last night, and the dead tailor's neighbors had already been alarmed. All kinds of rumors suddenly flew all over the street, all saying that it was revenge for the wronged ghosts.

Seeing Tan Mo's first seven, Jarvis came to worship again. After the worship, he said goodbye and went out, and was about to get on his horse in front of the Tan Mansion, when Dong Minglai flashed to the side and gave him a deep salute: "General Jia." ”

Jarvis hurriedly returned the salute: "Lord Dong." ”

Dong Ming stared at him with his eyes and said, "The little official dares to ask, what is the grievance between General Jia and Master Dong?" ”

Jarvis was stunned.

Dong Ming said: "The assassin who assassinated Lord Dong is General Jia." ”
