Anseong County.

Yesterday, Shen Leng and the few people they brought back all confessed under the interrogation of the Tingwei Mansion, but because of this confession, the investigation came to an impasse, and everything seemed to have returned to the original point, thinking that the fog had been cleared, but after opening it, they found that what they saw in front of them was what they had seen before.

Fang Baijing looked at Shen Leng and said: "The confessions of the three people are basically the same, they will be interrogated separately, and they will not collude in confessions, but maybe they have already been colluded before they were arrested, so this confession is not very true, and the degree of credibility is not so high." ”

"The three of them all said that they are soldiers in the arsenal of the Jiazi Battalion in Gyeonggi Province, and they have been stealing things from the arsenal all year round, and I have sent someone to rush to the Jiazi Battalion to meet General Yutai as soon as possible, and it will take a few days to verify it over there, but if it is true, then the materials stolen and sold over the years must be a large number."

After a pause, he continued: "Now we can only check the buyer, who bought the gunpowder bag from the arsenal, but in fact we all know who bought it, and that's why it's ......."

Shen Leng nodded: "Actually, we all speculate that the gunpowder bag was brought out by Xue Cheng from Jiazi Camp, and now he has become a buyer, what we want to check is Xue Cheng's internal response that Xue Cheng still left in Jiazi Camp, and it turned out to be a sale, instead of verifying what we want to investigate, it has confirmed that Xue Cheng did not leave any internal response in Jiazi Camp." ”

His fingers tapped rhythmically on the table: "Old Fang, do you feel it, since the incident of the Wind and Drizzle Building, our opponent seems to have changed, and everything is arranged very carefully, and the matter of the Wind and Drizzle Building is full of loopholes, and the person who set up the bureau is not a master, and even pointed out the direction of the investigation for us...... However, after the incident of the Hefeng Drizzle Building, the layout of the people completely upgraded to a higher level, not only filling in the loopholes of the Hefeng Drizzle Building, but also clearing up the relationship between Xue Cheng and the Jiazi Battalion, and even getting rid of the people who stole gunpowder bags from the Jiazi Battalion. ”

Yu Manlou sat next to him and stopped for a while, he sorted out his thoughts and said: "Now if we still assume that all this was arranged by Xue Cheng's people, then it is actually very simple, they are just making up for it, but the means of making up for it are clever, can we completely ignore this matter, as if it didn't happen, how to check it before or how to check, the target is still Xue Cheng." ”

No one spoke, because Yu Manlou's summary is actually known to everyone, and this is actually a nonsense.

"When the three of us went to the pig farm in Xiaoyin Village, we also said that if it is determined that Chang Yueyu, the owner of the pig farm, is related to this matter, it proves that Hu Huan, the county magistrate of Ancheng County, is related to this matter, and it also proves that Master Yuwen Xiaoce is related to this matter."

Chen Ran sighed: "But now there is nothing to prove at all, Chang Yueyu is dead, and the testimony shows that those moths in Jiaziying only bought the coachman of the pig farm, and it has nothing to do with Chang Yueyu, so it also clears up the people in the officialdom of Ancheng County." ”

"Did you do an autopsy?"

Shen Leng asked Fang Baijing.

Fang Baijing nodded: "After I led the team to arrive, I did a rough examination of the corpses at the scene, and it can be determined that except for those who were killed by you, they were all poisoned." ”

Shen Leng asked: "The people who came with you, there are county commander Hu Huan, county Cheng Li Ge, master Yuwen Xiaoce, and head catcher Sun Baicai, in addition to these people, are there any others?" ”

"It's gone."

Fang Baijing said: "The people from the county government of Ancheng County have basically arrived, and there is no one else, if they are all in a group, there will be no flaws in them." ”

Shen Leng got up: "You guys continue to discuss, I'll go talk to Yuwen Xiaoce." ”

A moment later, in Yuwen Xiaoce's study, when facing Shen Leng, he looked a little restrained in front of Shen Leng, and he had always been cautious.

"How much do you know about Chang Yueyu?"

Shen Leng asked. Yuwen Xiaoce said: "Chang Yueyu was originally doing business in the Taoist Mansion, and there have always been rumors that he has a great relationship with a certain big person in the Jiazi Camp, otherwise he would not come back to build a pig farm, and he quickly settled down to provide meat to the Jiazi Camp by his pig farm." ”

"But ......"

Yuwen Xiaoce said: "For so many years, no one knows who Chang Yueyu has a lot to do with in the Jiazi Battalion, I have also had contact with the people in the Jiazi Camp over the years, and I can't even tell them, I have inquired a few times in the past because of curiosity, but I didn't ask anything." ”

Shen Leng asked: "Chang Yueyu and the county commander Hu Huan also have a good relationship?" ”

"Grandpa Guo......"

Yuwen Xiaoce glanced at Shen Leng in embarrassment: "I really don't know how to answer this." ”

Shen Leng said: "To tell the truth, what you told me, I won't say it casually, and I won't tell Master Hu Huanhu." ”

"Yes yes yes ......"

Yuwen Xiaoce sorted out the wording and said: "Actually, the relationship between Lord Hu and Chang Yueyu is not very close, Grandpa Guo knows that it is difficult to be an official in the local area, and he must be careful to deal with it everywhere at all times, lest there be omissions, it is rumored that Chang Yueyu has a great relationship with a certain big man in the Jiazi camp, and Lord Hu will naturally take the initiative to get closer, this is just a ......"

He didn't seem to be able to find the right words, Shen Leng nodded and said, "I understand, inertia." ”

"Yes, inertia."

Yuwen Xiaoce said: "Lord Hu won't ask for anything from Chang Yueyu, it's just because of this rumor that he just walks around casually, a kind of interaction that makes people can't find faults." ”

Shen Leng snorted: "Then do you know that apart from Chang Yueyu, there is anyone else in Ancheng County who has a relationship with the Jiazi camp?" ”

"There are a total of 230 military households in Ancheng County, of which 120 households are in Jiazi Battalion, and the remaining 110 households are in Eastern Xinjiang, Northern Xinjiang, Yizi Camp and C Battalion.

Yuwen Xiaoce said: "If you talk about the extended relationship, for example, a military household has more than a dozen relatives, and these families are also related to the Jiazi Battalion, if you chase it like this, you can probably chase at least more than a thousand households." ”

This answer is not leaky.

Shen Leng glanced at Yuwen Xiaoce: "What about you?" ”

Yuwen Xiaoce was stunned: "Me? ”

Shen Leng said: "Yes, do you have anything to do with Jiazi Battalion?" ”

"Nope."

Yuwen Xiaoce said: "My ancestors are not from Gyeonggi Province, they are from Anyang County, Jiangnan Province, when they entered Beijing to catch the exam and walked to Ancheng, they missed the time because of illness, and then they thought that it would be more convenient to live here for a few years and the next imperial examination, but unfortunately, they only went to the township examination and did not enter the country. ”

Shen Leng nodded: "So you have been staying?" ”

"Yes."

Yuwen Xiaoce said: "I no longer have any relatives in Anyang County, Jiangnan Province, and I fell ill when I first came here, and it was the villagers here who saved me, so I have always been very grateful and willing to stay and do what I can for the villagers." ”

"Anyang County."

Shen Leng said: "I have been in Anyang County for a long time, where are you from Anyang County?" ”

"Dahe Town, Ding County, Anyang County."

Shen Leng was stunned: "Next to Fish Scale Town? ”

"yes."

Yuwen Xiaoce said: "It's next to Fish Scale Town, and Grandpa Guo is also half a fellow, but I'm afraid that others will say that I'm close to it, so I haven't mentioned it, but I see that Grandpa Guo is really close." ”

Shen sneered and said: "I didn't go to Dahe Town to deliver goods at that time, Yuwen's family in Dahe Town is a big family, I still remember that Yuwen Xiang is the richest man in your Dahe Town." ”

"That ......"

Yuwen Xiaoce sighed: "It's my cousin." ”

Shen Leng was stunned: "Understood." ”

At that time, water bandits were rampant in Anyang County, and Yuwen Xiang, the richest man in Dahe Town, Ding County, was directly rushed into the mansion by water bandits and ransacked, killing more than 100 people.

Thinking about it later, Boss Meng and Yuwen Xiang have business dealings, Shen Leng has been to Yuwen's house more than once to deliver goods, and I still remember the high-rise compound of Yuwen's family, the people of Yuwen's family are different from Boss Meng, they are polite and kind, even if a person like Shen Leng enters the door, he will be well entertained.

So Yuwenxiang's business is getting bigger and bigger, and the money is accumulating more and more, one night, Baili Tu broke into Yuwen's house with more than 200 water bandits, forced Yuwenxiang to open the cellar, robbed tens of thousands of taels of silver, and insulted his wife and concubine in front of Yuwenxiang.

At that time, Shen Leng was nine years old, and it was only three years later that Mr. Shen went to Fish Scale Town to take him away.

Yuwen Xiaoce lowered his head and said: "Grandpa Guo doesn't have to think about it, things have passed for more than twenty years, I was only twenty years old at that time, and now I am almost fifty, no matter how deep the hatred and resentment, it will dissipate with time, I only found out about Baili Tu's death until a long time later, and the people in the village actually found this, hoping that I would go back, after all, although the Yuwen family was wiped out, the family's business still had to be maintained...... But, I didn't go back. ”

He smiled and said: "I wrote a letter for people to take back, telling them that all the business has been divided among all the guys of the Yuwen family, and according to the years that have followed the Yuwen family, it can't be absolutely fair, and it can only be like this, I ...... In fact, I didn't dare to go back, I didn't dare to go back there, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to sleep, and as soon as I entered the door, I could see the courtyard full of mutilated corpses. ”

The smile was bitter.

Shen Leng let out a sigh: "It's hard for you." ”

"It's not embarrassing, I don't feel much when I talk about these things now."

Yuwen Xiaoce said apologetically: "But there was still a little gaffe just now, Guogong forgive me." ”

Shen Leng patted Yuwen Xiaoce on the shoulder: "It's okay, if you find out who is related to the Jiaziying side, it may be the suspect who bought the gunpowder bag from the Jiaziying treasury, notify me immediately." ”

"Yes, yes, yes."

Yuwen Xiaoce hurriedly leaned over and said: "It's all within the scope of the matter, don't worry, if there is any news, I will report to the Guogong immediately." ”

Shen Leng snorted and looked at Yuwen Xiaoce's hand: "Have you practiced martial arts?" ”

"I've practiced."

Yuwen Xiaoce still leaned over: "At that time, I was young and vigorous, I started practicing martial arts in my twenties, and I planned to go back, and I practiced for a few years...... It's a pity, no talent. ”

Shen Leng sighed and turned to go out.

What Yuwen Xiaoce said was all true, there was not a single lie, but some words were not explained...... He fell ill after coming here, and he didn't know what strange disease he had, the two guys who took care of him to Chang'an died of illness one after another, and it was Xue Cheng who met him on the way to pick him up, and Xue Cheng was his life-saving benefactor.

It was the first time Xue Cheng had gone out because of a private matter, so very few people knew about it.

Looking at Shen Leng's back as he went out, Yuwen Xiaoce took a few deep breaths lightly, as if he was afraid that the sound would be too loud and cause Shen Leng's vigilance.

After Shen Leng left, Yuwen Xiaoce said to himself: "There are always so many helplessness in life...... Later, I arranged for someone to hunt down and kill Shen Xiaosong, and then it was Shen Xiaosong who killed Baili Tu, counting it, you are the child of my life-saving benefactor, and your brother Meng Changan is the child of my killing relatives and enemies. ”

He smiled bitterly again: "This life is really ...... Fucking. ”
