"It's good that Lord Shang knows someone Chen, so I'll ask directly if you have anything to say,"

Chen Ruyi stood in front of Shang Wensheng's sickbed with his hands in his hands and said,

According to Lord Wei, the second son of Shangfu returned to Donglu Mountain with his small slave and maid, and when he passed through Lishui City, he knew that Shangjia Fort was occupied by a group of displaced people, so he left the slave and maid in Lishui City, and rushed to Donglu East with his family and soldiers to drive away the displaced people. The homeless people resisted strongly, and they were killed and injured a lot, and in the end, they did not leave, and gathered the women and children in the front house and burned them to death - Lord Wei and Chen Xiang, the guard next to Lord Shang, said that Lord Shang rushed back from Langxi three days ago, and he wanted to get together with his wife and children for two days before returning, and when he left Langxi, he did not say a word to Changshi and others, so it stands to reason that no one in Langxi knew that Lord Shang was in Donglu Mountain the night before yesterday. Jinyun Si and the officials of the Criminal Department galloped over to look for clues, and asked the surviving people of the Shang family, and they could almost confirm that the noble son was killed first, and then the assassin was killed in the back house. In addition to the noble son and his wife, seven other family soldiers were killed and wounded, and the assassin finally escaped from the back house. However, if we look for the blood stains left by the assassin, we can confirm that he is quite familiar with the terrain of Shangjiabao, and although he committed the crime in a mask, Lord Shang can feel anything familiar about his figure? ”

Only then did Shang Wensheng know that he had been in a coma for at least two days and two nights, but he clearly remembered that at the time of the accident, there were thirty-one elite soldiers in the house, how could ten people be killed and injured in the end, and what about the others?

At that time, the sky had not completely darkened, and they had just arranged the inside and outside of Shangjiabao into a scene where the homeless people were killed after fierce resistance, and everyone should not have relaxed yet, why were only ten family soldiers involved in the siege and pursuit of the assassins?

In addition, the Assassin was familiar with the terrain of Shangjiabao, and killed people, suffered many knife wounds and arrow wounds, and finally escaped easily?

Shang Wensheng lost blood in the past, and his body was indescribably weak, but there were too many questions that made him want to get up from the sickbed now.

Seeing Shang Wensheng's pale face, Wei Zhen said to Chen Ruyi: "Lord Shang has just woken up, and my body is afraid that he can't stand ......it."

Chen Ruyi glanced at Shang Wensheng.

Wei Zhen said that Shangjiabao was occupied by the homeless people and could not be expelled, and the homeless people could not resist, but they killed the women and children's families and burned the houses, and finally there were fifty-seven people who were old and weak, and there was no one left, he did not believe this story, but the Shang family was broken in by an assassin and killed so badly, he did not "bear" to investigate these details.

He was more concerned about the assassination of Shang Wensheng.

Shang Wensheng is the governor of Guangde Mansion, he temporarily left Langxi County only a few days after taking office, and was assassinated on the night he returned to Shangjiabao, why not make people think of Pianpian?

It was like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples to ripple in the court.

Shang Wensheng saw that Chen Xiang, who was standing at the door, seemed to have something to say, so he reluctantly raised his hand and motioned for him to come in and speak.

Chen Xiang also rushed into the corridor, trying his best to prevent the assassin from breaking into the room to assassinate Shang Wensheng's soldier, his left cheek was cut by the tip of the knife, fortunately the wound was not deep, but the right hand holding the knife was cut off three fingers, and the person was half useless.

"According to others, the Assassin looked like a slave in the fort." Chen Xiang said.

Chen Xiang and He Jin are all serving by Shang Wensheng's side, and they are usually in Jinling City, they rarely return to Shangjiabao, and they are naturally unfamiliar with the situation of more than 2,000 slaves and maids in Shangjiabao at its peak.

However, the soldiers beside Shang Zhongjie still felt that the assassin's figure was particularly similar to a slave in the castle.

This can't be blamed for Han Donghu's poor disguise, it is really that the vast majority of people in the world are malnourished, and there are really a few people like him who are strong and powerful.

Even if he covered his face with a black cloth and only showed a pair of eyes, those who knew him well would inevitably have some suspicions as long as they came into direct contact with him.

What's more, Jinyun Si and the officials of the Criminal Department had snooped out of the scene of the assassins and their escape, and confirmed that the Assassins were very familiar with the terrain inside Shangjiabao and near Donglu Mountain, from the Assassin Shang Zhongjie to the direct attack on the inner house to the assassination of Shang Wensheng, they took the most trouble-free and rapid shortcut, and did not hesitate to climb over the wall from the back house, and chose the easiest path from the back mountain to escape from the pursuers and fled straight to the south - which in itself directly shows that the Assassin had lived in Shangjiabao for a long time.

"Who is it?" Shang Wensheng didn't expect that it was a slave of the Shang family who assassinated his family, his eyes were about to crack, and he struggled to sit up, and he felt a sharp pain in his armpit, but he tore the wound open.

"Don't get up, if the wound is broken again, I'm afraid that even the gods may not be able to save you." An old man in a gray robe with a clear face walked over and pressed Shang Wensheng down on the bed.

"It looks like a house slave named Shanghu next to my nephew, and then I heard that he joined the Chishan Army, and he was the one who led the attack on Shangjiabao in the first place." Chen Xiang said.

It's not that the people below didn't talk about Shang Hu and the young lady, but at this time, there were outsiders present, and Chen Xiang thought that the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, so he didn't mention this.

"Do you know where this man went?" Hearing this, Chen Ruyi's expression perked up, and he took a step forward and interjected and asked.

The Chishan Army recruited more than 300,000 slaves and maids before and after.

Before the general attack on Jinling, due to Han Qian's surrender of military power, in addition to a considerable number of grassroots military attaches who followed Han Qian to Xuzhou, other generals of the Chishan Army who were reorganized into the Zuoguang German Army were also dispersed, and as reserve soldiers to supplement the forbidden army stationed in Beijing, there were still more than 7,000 generals in the formation after the recovery of Jinling.

The Privy Council is also planning to withdraw these generals and their families from Guangde Mansion and place them as military households in the corresponding cantonment military palaces of the forbidden armies.

If Jinyun Si wants to check just one name, the project is huge, and the officials on the Privy Council side may not be very willing to cooperate.

However, if they don't start with the forbidden armies of the various ministries and directly point the finger at Xuzhou, it is inferred that this person may have withdrawn to Xuzhou with Han Qian when Zuo Guang's German army was disbanded, even if they were not reprimanded by His Majesty, they would feel that they were too "reckless" and their intentions were too obvious.

In the past year or so, the Jinling area has been in chaos and personnel information is confused, but if the Shang family can provide more and more accurate information, Jinyun Division will undoubtedly save a lot of trouble.

The soldier named Chen Xiang hesitated for a while, but he didn't dare to say more.

"What the hell is going on, why don't you dare to say anything to Lord Chen?" Shang Wen was so angry that he was about to vomit blood, he was pushed down on the sickbed, and asked angrily at Chen Xiang.

"I heard that Shang Hu later changed his name, called Han Donghu, and followed Qianyang Hou on an errand, I heard that his name was still given by Qianyang Hou, but he should have already moved to Xuzhou with his younger siblings and mother with Qianyang Hou, and people should not appear in Lishui." Chen Xiang followed Shang Wensheng to Guangde Mansion on an errand, of course he knew about the involvement of Qianyang Hou Han Qian and Guangde Mansion, and he also knew that some words were likely to be a bolt from the blue, but under the gaze of Shang Wensheng, Chen Ruyi, Wei Zhen and others, he didn't dare to hide anything, so he had to bite the bullet and tell everything he knew.

"The assassin is ...... by Xuzhou" Wei Zhen said this, his throat seemed to be pinched by an invisible hand, and he couldn't spit out the next word, but the shock on his face was still there.

If the assassin was sent by Xuzhou, the matter would be too deep for him to speculate.

The gray-robed old man who was treating Shang Wensheng stood up at this time and said, "Lord Shang still has to rest and recuperate." If the medicine is not enough, I will send the apprentices over at that time, and it seems that there is no need to stay in the way of old decay at this time. ”

The gray-robed old man couldn't wait to leave with the two medicine apprentices, as if he wanted to desperately push out of the edge of a whirlpool that didn't know how many people would be swallowed in, and he didn't dare to have anything to do with these things.

"Old Chen, let's go." Wei Zhen and Chen Ruyi sent the old man away quite respectfully.

Although the old man was just an ordinary medical officer in the Shang Medical Bureau, he had the opportunity to show his face in His Majesty.

Besides, who doesn't have a single three diseases and five disasters in these years, it is not a bad thing to make friends with the medical officers of the Shang Medical Bureau.

If it weren't for the fact that this old man's hometown happened to be near Shangjiabao, and he happened to return home to visit relatives, whether Shang Wensheng's life could be saved is really two words.

Even if Chen Ruyi and Wei Zhen wanted to find more convincing witnesses, they would not forcibly drag him into the water when they saw that the old man was unwilling.

However, at this point, let alone Wei Zhen, Chen Ruyi didn't dare to dig deep without authorization, at least he couldn't get to the bottom of it in front of so many people.

He glanced at Wei Zhen and the officials in charge of the case in charge of the Criminal Department, and said: "Just the appearance of the body does not mean anything, the Criminal Department will continue to investigate, but there is no need to delve into these details - Lord Shen, what do you think?" ”

Shen Bochi was a son of Yuezhou, recommended by Zhang Chao, and first served as an official in the Execution Department of Xingshangshu Province in Hunan, and then served as the director of the Criminal Department when he entered Jinling.

At the age of forty, he had the experience of serving as a state and county official in his early years, and he was not an ignorant and fearless stunned young man, knowing that the assassination case had been dug up to this point, and if he continued to dig it down, it would be a shocking step by step, and it would be a cliff.

If the assassin was really someone from the side of Qianyang Hou Han Qian, let alone him, for the entire Criminal Department, it was a thunder pool that could be shattered.

Whether this matter is dug up from the people around the Marquis of Qianyang can only depend on Your Majesty, and if it is really to be thoroughly investigated, it is also sent by Jinyun Division, and it has nothing to do with the Criminal Department.

"Lord Chen, please call the shots for the lower officials!" Shang Wensheng saw that they had speculated on the possible identity of the assassin, Chen Ruyi, Shen Bochi, Wei Zhen and others all retreated, he was angry, struggled and wanted to sit up again, and begged Chen Ruyi with grief.

He knew that the Marquis of Qianyang was powerful, but he didn't say how many people had been killed and injured in the Shang family before, and now the Marquis of Qianyang also sent people to assassinate him, so that his Shang family would be wiped out, how could he be afraid and retreat anymore?

"Lord Shang, don't worry, the Criminal Department will definitely catch the real murderer, and Lord Shang will be fair-the assassin did not show his face, he just looked good, it was really inaccurate." Before getting further instructions from His Majesty, Chen Ruyi didn't want to rush to involve Jinyun Si now.

If there weren't so many people who knew, Jinyun Sicha would have checked it, and finally sealed the files and kept them out of the public.

Now? If His Majesty is not ready to turn his face with Xuzhou, Jinyun Division will be directly involved, and in the end, this matter will be in an uproar, so that His Majesty will not be able to get off the stage, and Jinyun Division can still please His Majesty?

As for Shang Wensheng's willingness, whether he will make a big deal out of it, Chen Ruyi is too lazy to care about him, and he can't care about him......
