Chapter 35: The White Dress
"No! Absolutely not! Settle this matter for yourselves! Forgive us for not wanting to help! ”
After learning about the county Cheng's intentions, Li Cheng immediately sternly rejected their request, no matter what the county Cheng said, Li Chengcheng refused to let go, and in a few words, both of them heard that Li Cheng's tone already had the meaning of sending off guests......
Although the two county officials were prepared to be rejected in their hearts, it was difficult to face their colleagues when they went back like this, so they had no choice but to go straight to the county lieutenant and put forward that they wanted to see Shen Huan and ask Shen Huan in person.
The county lieutenant understands their thoughts Li Cheng very well, if it is an ordinary homicide case, he may be willing to sell them a favor, but this is the only thing Li Chengcheng does not want Shen Huan to be involved in this matter! And only he knows why......
Just when Li Cheng wanted to forcibly send the county officials away, Shen Huan appeared at the door very unexpectedly, and the county lieutenant hurriedly greeted him as soon as he saw him.
Just when the county lieutenant wanted to say something, Shen Huan stopped him, "You don't have to say more, I heard what you just said, just like Uncle Li said, I can't participate in this matter, you better report this matter as soon as possible, and the court will send someone to investigate." ”
That's right, the county lieutenants also know that such a big thing can't be hidden, and robbing the tribute is a big crime of rebellion! But once this matter is reported, the imperial court may be angry with the entire Jiangyin County Ya! If you want to avoid this crisis smoothly, you can only find out the robbers or find out the clues about the robbers before the court officially sends people, so that you may be able to escape! However, the difficulty was that they didn't know where to start, otherwise they wouldn't have the cheekiness to come to Shen Huan's white clothes......
"Don't know how to track it down?"
Shen Huan was a little dizzy when he heard this, it was rare for an official to be like them! No wonder the ass hasn't moved for decades, that's what happened......
Shen Huan sighed, "Forget it, since you have already come, then I will help you once, and I will tell you how to investigate this kind of case!" First of all, we know that the people who escorted the tribute into Beijing were escorted by the forbidden army stationed in various places, and they were different from the soldiers in various places, they were under the direct jurisdiction of the Privy Council, and their combat power was very strong, so it would not be ordinary thieves who could kill them and steal the tribute! It can't be a solitary crime! The first thing you have to do is to find out if there are any thieves in the vicinity who have the power to do this. Secondly, most of the tributes were precious gold, silver and jewelry, and the robbers would certainly try to make a move in exchange for money after robbing them, so you should immediately find out what was in these tributes, and issue an official letter ordering the local state governments to strictly investigate the black market in various places to see if any tributes flowed into them. Third, strictly check all kinds of people who come in and out, because it is very likely that the robbers will scatter and flee after committing the crime. ”
With Shen Huan's guidance, the county lieutenants had a bottom in their hearts, and immediately returned to the county government to deploy.
After sending them away, Li Cheng's face was a little uncertain, and he couldn't help but say to Shen Huan: "Didn't you say that you don't care about this matter?" You're fine, you're in the limelight! ”
"I'm just giving them a little advice, Uncle Li, don't worry, I won't be involved in this matter!"
Looking at Li Cheng's face, Qian Yi, who came over with the county and them, couldn't help but persuade: "Okay, this kid just gave them some advice, it's not a big deal!"
Seeing that Li Cheng didn't answer, Qian Yi didn't say anything more, and asked softly to Shen Huan, "You kid don't really want to care, do you?"
"I don't want to care, this is a big trouble, it's better not to get into trouble, I want to live a few more years."
"Huh? That's not your kid's character! Qian Yi looked at Shen Huan with some surprise.
"Tell me about it." Shen Huan spread his hands.
"Uh... I thought you were the kind of person who wanted to be a criminal prison officer who wanted to clear the wrongs and ban explosions, clarify Yuyu, and return the people of the world to a clear prison officer! ”
"I'm sorry I've let you down, but my biggest wish is to eat and drink enough every day! Hold your wife to bed at night and sleep well, and be a happy rice worm! ”
"A life ...... pursuit" Qian Yi twitched the corners of his mouth, shocked by Shen Huan's "great" dream......
Shen Huan laughed, "That's!" Isn't life just about having a happy life! I wonder why you think this way about me. ”
"It's not because of the cases you solved! You kid is so enthusiastic, and you have helped the yamen solve one murder case after another several times, so anyone would have such an idea, right? But you still listen to Brother Li in this matter, it's best not to have anything to do with them, you don't have a reputation yet, they can't solve the case at most and they are just exiled, if you participate in it, your life may be gone! ”
People live old and fine, Qian Yi is not living in vain at such an age, he also knows in his heart what the county lieutenant has in mind, they just want to pull Shen Huan into the water, if the case is solved, only some silver can be sent away, and if it can't be broken, then Shen Huan is their back! You can share part of the blame for them! When the time comes, the court may dispose of it relatively lightly!
Shen Huan, who Qian Yi can understand, naturally also understands that the profession he once engaged in forced him to come into contact with basically the ugliest side of human nature, so his mind is often much more mature than others! However, many years later, Shen Huan realized that as long as he was a human being, he still had a limit to bear after all......
In the early morning of the next day, today was the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Shen Huan and they had been staying here for many days, and it was time to go back, so Shen Huan said goodbye to Li Cheng early in the morning and left Jiangyin City......
Along the way, Shen Huan didn't say a word, and Song Shi couldn't help but say when he saw that he was in a state of despair, "Why don't we go and have a look?"
Shen Huan knew the meaning of Song Shi's words, "Look at what!" As I said, I'm sure I'm not going to care about it! ”
"Good, good! You don't care, don't care! Anyway, I'm going to see the excitement! ”
"Hey! You wait! ”
Not long after Shen Huan and the two left, for some reason Li Cheng always had a feeling of panic in his heart, and an ominous premonition always shrouded in his heart, he was really relieved, Li Cheng sent his family to chase him out of the city, but at this time it was too late, Shen Huan and the others had already got on the ox cart to Jiyang City......
Because it was an ox cart, the speed was not as fast as a horse-drawn carriage, and it was ten o'clock at dusk when the two came to Jiyang City, and on the way here, Shen Huan and they met Xing Zhutou, who came here to investigate, and several people came to a small town near the scene to settle down.
Wiping his face, Shen Huan couldn't help but complain to Song Shi: "I said you have nothing to do, what are you running around?" I won't tell you, I don't care about it! ”
Glancing at Shen Huan gently, Song Shi's eyes were full of contempt, "Come on, don't pretend!" You don't know if you've been like a soulless ghost since yesterday! I can't even eat, I can't sleep! I said, what are you pretending to be like this! No matter what! Come and see and won't die! ”
"Hey...... I'm just curious......" Shen Huan smiled awkwardly as his mind was pierced......
Early the next morning, Xing Zhutou requisitioned a donkey cart from the town and took Shen Huan and them on the road, and after half an hour, they had already arrived at the scene of the crime. Seeing that the scene was surrounded by Tuntian sergeants in a three-mile radius and was impermeable, Shen Huan nodded subconsciously, it seems that his education was still very effective last time! Xing Zhutou: They have realized how important the first love on the scene is!
The sergeants were assigned by the county government to naturally know Xing Zhutou, so the three of them entered his scene very smoothly, but at this moment, Shen Huan saw a man in white squatting near the scene from a distance and observing around! It's like you're surveying the scene! Shen Huan looked at Xing Zhutou in surprise, as if asking him what was going on?
Not only was Shen Huan very surprised, but Xing Zhutou himself was also very puzzled! These three miles of land have been surrounded by sergeants, let alone people, and even a hare cannot slip in!
When Shen Huan came in, the white-clothed man stood up. This is a young man in white, with red lips and a small mouth, willow leaf thin eyebrows, a delicate and beautiful nose, slender eyelashes, a pair of big eyes that seem to be able to speak with a bright luster, and a delicate melon seed face, which makes people feel very amazing! The white belt tied around the waist shows that the waist is slender and only a hand, and a simple sword held by slender fingers like jade is even more heroic!
The first time he saw the person's appearance, Shen Huan stayed there, he had never seen such a beautiful person! It's like a fairy in the sky! But the bulging Adam's apple on the neck of the man in white told him that this thing was a man......
A man looks so pretty? Shen Huan felt that his worldview had been subverted, could it be said that the legendary Longyang really existed? Is there really that kind of man who looks more beautiful than a woman?
After the initial "shock", Shen Huan asked the man in white, "This brother, how did you get in?" Did you know that this place is under martial law? ”
The man in white didn't answer Shen Huan's words, but his eyes stared at him motionless! His body was trembling slightly, and his hand holding the sword seemed to be trembling......
The two just looked at each other like this, Shen Huan was a little confused for a while, he didn't know what was going on......
After a while, the man in white slowly relaxed, and said to Shen Huan, "If you want to come, you can come."
After the man in white finished speaking, he stopped talking, still just looked at him quietly, at this moment Shen Huan couldn't help but wonder if there was something on his face, and specially wiped a few handfuls......
Although Shen Huan felt that the man in white was a little strange, he could feel that the man in white was not malicious, and looking at his dress, he seemed to be from the rivers and lakes, so this kind of person still tried to provoke as little as possible......
He doesn't care doesn't mean that others don't care, and there are still people running to the scene under such strict guard, which is undoubtedly a slap in the face of Xing Zhutou!
"Dog's day! I didn't hear you asking! ...... the hell you"
Before Xing Zhutou finished speaking, he felt a flower in front of him, and when he woke up again, he was already on a high branch, and the sharp pain in his chest told him that he had been beaten up! Looking at the white-clothed man below who had barely moved at all, Xing Zhutou couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, now even if he is stupid, he knows that he has provoked someone who shouldn't be messed with, so it's better to shut up in order to save his life......
The scene in front of them stunned Shen Huan and Song Shi, not only Xing Zhutou, but even they didn't see clearly how the man in white moved...... It's like a dream......
"Forget it, don't think about him, it's important to get down to business!" Shen Huan forced himself to ignore the man in white, focused his attention on the scene, and carefully investigated.
At the scene, Shen Huan soon discovered the first suspicious point! He found that the wagons that had been robbed were neatly arranged! The footprints on the ground are also arranged in an orderly manner, the rut marks are not messy, and there are no traces of a fight around! This discovery made Shen Huan wonder if this was the scene of the first crime, it was very likely that those sergeants were killed and moved here!
However, the subsequent discovery surprised Shen Huan a little! He found that the dragon flag on the carriage and these carriages he seemed to have seen before!
