Volume 1 Sunrise and Setting in the West Chapter 66 The Voice in the Carriage
Shi Ling immediately smiled and said, "Captain Han misunderstood. Shi Mou came here not to embarrass the Governor's Mansion, but to be instructed by the old marquis to arrest the traitor. ”
"Traitor?" The smile on Han Yunong's face immediately put away: "I don't understand the meaning of Commander Shi's words. When were there traitors in the city? ”
Shi Ling said: "Han Duwei may not know that last night, someone assassinated the young son, although he only injured the young son, but Mr. Shen Shuilang, the guest of the Hou Mansion, was killed. ”
Han Yunong's face changed suddenly, and he said in surprise: "Lang Shenshui is dead? ”
Seeing Han Yunong's reaction, Shi Ling seemed to really not know that Lang Shenshui was killed, and nodded slightly: "Exactly." There are two Assassins ......! After thinking for a while, he shook his head and said: "To be precise, there were three assassins last night, one of them failed to assassinate and was rescued by the same party, but there was another assassin lurking at the scene. The assassin took Mr. Lang by surprise and killed him, and was about to assassinate the young man, but fortunately the young man was lucky and escaped, but the assassin also took advantage of the chaos to escape. ”
Han Yunong's brows furrowed, and he said, "If you assassinate the young man, it will naturally be a big thief." Commander Shi, are the thieves still in the city? ”
Shi Ling bowed his head and said: "Speaking of which, the assassination was fortunately at night. Han Duwei knew that Turtle City could not open the city gate at night, and it was necessary to wait until the end of the day to open the city, and before that, no one could leave the city. After Shi received the report, he brought people to Pegasus overnight, entered the city before the hour, and immediately blocked the entire ghost city, and now the four gates are also controlled by Shi's people, and before the murderer is found, the city gate will never be opened, so the murderer has no chance to escape from the city after the assassination, and now he can only hide in the city. ”
"As it should be." Han Yunong immediately said: "The Governor's Mansion has the responsibility of assisting the Hou Mansion to quell the rebellion, and now that there are rebels in the city, the Governor's Mansion is naturally obliged to help arrest the murderer." He took a step forward and asked, "Commander Shi brought people to the Governor's Mansion, could it be that he wanted to discuss with Han what to do next?" ”
Shi Ling said with a smile: "We have enough manpower to arrest the murderer this time, and just now Shi has sent people to post wanted notices on the streets and alleys of the city, so that the people of the whole city can search for the murderer together, as long as they can provide clues, and even catch the murderer, whether they live or die, the old marquis will have a heavy reward." ”
"Wait a minute." Han Yunong immediately said: "Commander Shi, you said that someone has been sent to post a wanted notice, do you already know who the assassin is?" Otherwise, who is wanted in this wanted post? ”
Shi Ling said with a smile: "The identity of the assassin has indeed been clarified. It's just that..... Han Duwei probably couldn't think of who the assassin was. ”
Han Yunong sighed and said, "I have a lot of work these days, and my body is a little tired, so I went to bed early last night." He smiled bitterly and said: "Commander Shi may not know that Lu Hong, the head of the Governor's Mansion, knew that he had broken the law and was detained and imprisoned, and Meng Zimo was even more resigned and wanted to return to his hometown, so the inspection in the past two days was a little negligent, and this is the responsibility of my Governor's Mansion." Who are you talking about as an assassin? ”
"It's the horse before the Duwei Mansion who quickly catches the head of Meng Zimo." Shi Ling stared at Han Yunong's eyes and said.
"What?" Han Yunong lost his voice and said, "Mencius? ”
Not only Han Yunong was taken aback, but also the officials of the Governor's Mansion around him were also shocked.
Shi Ling said solemnly: "When the murder was committed last night, many people present recognized that the assassin was Meng Zimo, so there is no doubt about it. ”
"No way." A Ma Kuaiya sneered: "You have no basis for what you say, what evidence is there to prove that it is Meng ..... What did Mencius Mo? They are all your people, and who you say is who you are? ”
The other catchers immediately shouted: "Yes, you are spewing blood, how can you slander good people without evidence?" ”
Han Yunong raised his hand, motioned for everyone to calm down, stared at Shi Ling and asked, "Commander Shi, did everyone on the spot see Meng Zimo's appearance, are you sure?" Or was it just that you suspected that the Assassin was him? ”
Of course, Shi Ling wanted to say that someone had seen Mencius's appearance clearly.
But in fact, although Zhen Yujiang and others were sure that the assassin was Meng Zimo, Meng Zimo covered his face from beginning to end and didn't even say a word.
The incident happened in a free place, but there were not only people from Zhenhou Mansion at the scene, there were many guests in the building who hid behind the door and peeked.
If it is categorically said at this moment that he saw Mencius's face, and when he turned around, the imperial court sent someone to investigate the matter, and the facts obtained did not match the facts, then the Zhenhou Mansion would naturally be accused of wanton slander.
Shi Ling didn't answer Han Yunong's question directly, and asked rhetorically: "Han Duwei, is Meng Zimo in the Duwei Mansion now?" ”
"Now that he has left his post and is no longer from the Governor's Mansion, of course he will not be here." Han Yunong said lightly: "And with all due respect, if you don't have conclusive evidence to prove that he is an assassin, even if he is in the Governor's Mansion now, you are not qualified to arrest him." ”
Shi Ling said with a smile: "If he is really in the Duwei Mansion, then ask Han Duwei to ask him to come out to prove his innocence." ”
"Oh?"
"The murderer who committed the assassination last night was seriously injured." Shi Ling said: "He was slashed at least three times in the back, one in his waist, and the most obvious is that his right leg was also slashed. His face became cold: "If Mencius Mo is unharmed, then the person who assassinated last night will naturally not be him, otherwise...... He has to be! ”
Han Yunong said calmly: "If Meng Zimo is really in the Duwei Mansion, I really want him to come out to prove his innocence." It's just that after he left the day before yesterday, I never saw him again. He said in a deep voice, "Can you see him?" ”
The crowd said in unison: "No." ”
"Commander Shi also heard it, and no one in the Governor's Mansion has seen it." Han Yunong raised his hand and said, "So please also ask Commander Shi to take your men and horses and leave this place immediately." If you want to arrest Mencius, even if you go and search for it, I only hope that you will not wronged good people. ”
Shi Ling said: "Meng Zimo's residence has already sent someone to go, but Shi feels that he should be hiding in the Duwei Mansion now. ”
"Could it be that Commander Shi is still going to take people into the Governor's Mansion to search for it?" Han Yunong said coldly.
Although there were not many people in the Duwei Mansion, as soon as they heard Han Yunong say this, they immediately pressed the handle of the knife on their waists and glared angrily at the wolf rider outside the main gate.
Shi Ling nodded and said, "That's what I mean." Han Duwei, I heard that not long ago, Meng Zimo was suspected of stealing in the Hou Mansion, and the young prince allowed your people to search in the Hou Mansion in order to let Meng Zimo prove his innocence, I don't know if there is such a thing? ”
"The young man is magnanimous, there is indeed such a thing."
"The Hou Mansion seems to be more important than the Du Wei Mansion, and the young prince allows your people to search the Hou Mansion in order to let the truth come to light." Shi Ling stared at Han Yunong without squinting: "Now we are searching for the Duwei Mansion, but we also want to let the truth of the matter be revealed, but I don't know why Han Duwei wants to stop it?" ”
Han Yunong said with a smile: "Not everyone is as big as the young man. The young son can be the master of the Zhenhou Mansion, but the Duwei Mansion is not ruled by Han. ”
"Aren't you a lieutenant?"
"I'm the lieutenant of the imperial court." Han Yunong said: "So Commander Shi wants to lead people to search the Governor's Mansion for no reason, but I can't agree." ”
Deputy Commander Yan Qing stared at Han Yunong coldly from beginning to end, and finally couldn't help but say at this time: "Captain Han, what do you mean for no reason?" We suspect that Mencius is hiding in the Duwei's Mansion at this moment, and he went in to search and arrest him, could it be that you don't understand? ”
"As I said, you don't have conclusive evidence that the assassin is Mencius." Han Yunong said lightly: "Even if he is really an assassin, he is not from the Governor's Mansion, so naturally he has nothing to do with the Governor's Mansion." He raised his hand and said: "Commander Shi, let's take your people and leave quickly, it's been a long time, I'm afraid that I will really be misunderstood as a rebellion." Come on, close the door! Then he was to return to the house.
Shi Ling snorted coldly and said in a deep voice: "Come on, enter the mansion to search, today I want to see who can stop it." ”
Yan Qing had already pulled out his saber and said sharply, "Follow me into the mansion." The first one rushed forward, and the wolf cavalry soldiers also "choked" and pulled out their sabers, and followed Yan Qing to rush towards the Governor's Mansion.
Han Yunong didn't have a knife in his hand, but when he saw the wolf riding rushing over, his face turned cold, he snatched the saber of a messenger next to him, held it in his hand, pointed the blade forward, and said sharply: "Trespassing into the Governor's Mansion will be punished for the crime of treason, and there will be no forgiveness for killing!" ”
All the catchers quickly drew their swords, although the number was small, but they were not afraid.
The two sides were tense, and at this moment, someone shouted, "Stop." ”
The crowd followed the sound, and saw only a carriage speeding towards it, and one man had already come out of the carriage, stood at the head of the carriage, and shouted: "Do not act rashly." ”
Han Yunong had already seen clearly that the person who came was Du Hongsheng, the county guard of Zhenjun.
Although Du Hongsheng has no real power in his hands, after all, he is the guard of a county, and when he appears, it is not good for the wolf to continue to rush forward.
When the carriage arrived at the gate of the Duwei Mansion, blocking between the two sides, Du Hongsheng looked left and right, his face was cold, he looked at Shi Ling and asked, "Is it what the old marquis meant?" ”
"The old marquis has orders, find the assassin at all costs." Shi Ling said solemnly: "The inferior general suspects that the assassin is in the Governor's Mansion, and is about to bring people into the mansion to search. ”
Du Hongsheng said: "The official already knows about the matter, and the old marquis sent someone to tell the official that there was an assassin who assassinated the young prince last night. Although the young prince and others all said that the assassin was Meng Zimo, after all, there is no conclusive evidence, Commander Shi, is it not appropriate for you to lead people to rush into the Governor's Mansion like this? ”
"My lord, the assassination of the young prince is a very important matter, if you don't catch the murderer, not only will you not be able to explain to the old marquis, but you will also be unable to explain to the court." Shi Ling said slowly: "When the old marquis was knighted, he made an oath to the imperial court, in Zhen County, but there are bandits and rebels, and he will do whatever it takes to quell the chaos for the imperial court." Pointing to the main gate of the Governor's Mansion: "Now that the traitor is suspected to be inside, I will be ordered by the old marquis, of course, we will catch the murderer against all odds." ”
"What if Mencius is not in it?" Du Hongsheng frowned.
Shi Ling smiled faintly: "If you go in and search and don't find Meng Zimo, the humble general will naturally apologize to Han Duwei, and if the county guard wants to condemn the crime at that time, the humble general will also be willing to accept it." ”
Du Hongsheng said in a deep voice: "Commander Shi, the Commander's Mansion is directly subordinate to the Xiling Metropolitan Protector's Mansion, if it is changed to this official, before searching, you still have to report to the Metropolitan Protector's Mansion, otherwise there will be a dispute afterwards, and the official is worried that Commander Shi will not be able to bear the consequences." ”
"Only death." Shi Ling said with a smile: "If Lord Du Hu feels that it is wrong for the humble general to arrest the thief, and even wants to execute the inferior general, the humble general will never complain." The lowly position is not aimed at the Governor's Mansion, but the anti-thief, the Governor's Mansion does not assist the lowly generals, and the lowly generals cannot force it, but if they want to stop it, the lowly generals will never retreat. His face sank, and he was about to wave his hand to let Yan Qing lead people to rush in, but he heard a shrill voice from the carriage: "Do you really want to rush into the Governor's Mansion?" You're really daring. ”
