Chang'an City, the General's Mansion.

Shen Leng took the people back to the general's mansion, and the people assigned before had already tied up all the people who had been captured from Baixiaotang in the courtyard, including Li Baixiao, dozens of people were slumped, and one by one they seemed to have been drained of more than half of their vitality.

Shen Leng entered the door, and a soldier pulled a chair over and placed it in the middle of the courtyard, Shen Leng sat down and swept it around, and no one from Baixiaotang dared to look at him.

"Xue Volcano."

Shen Leng pointed out, and two wolf-like soldiers went over to untie Xue Huoshan from the tied wooden stake and came to Shen Leng on his own.

"I still have to rush to Chong'an County, time is very urgent, so I only ask everyone once if they are willing to confess, in my eyes you all deserve to die, and you should believe ......"

Shen Leng leaned over and looked into Xue Huoshan's eyes and said seriously: "I have reached a position where I don't need to be responsible for killing you. ”

This sentence made Li Baixiao and Xue Huoshan tremble at the same time.

"I ask you."

Shen Leng looked at Xue Huoshan and asked, "On the second day after the bombing of the Hefeng Drizzle Building, someone came to inquire about the Chong'an County Sky Ticket Number, and at that time, the food and silver for disaster relief should have been dropped, and before that, no one came to Bai Xiaotang to ask him." ”

Xue Huoshan subconsciously looked at Li Baixiao, and from his eyes, he could see that he must know something, and Li Baixiao also knew.

Shen Leng frowned: "Cut." ”

Chen Ran strode over, held down Xue Huoshan's head, and another soldier pulled out the black line knife and chopped it down on his neck.

"Ahh

This exclamation was not shouted by Xue Huo, but the two ben who were watching from the side, where have the people of Xiangning Guan seen this kind of scene, especially that little girl, no matter how strong she is, she is also a little girl, her face changed color in fright, and she hid behind the two Daoist people after a loud voice.

A knife fell on the head.

Shen Leng pointed at Li Baixiao: "Bring him over." ”

Li Baixiao's legs were weak.

"Grandpa Guo, Grandpa Guo, you can't kill people casually, this is Chang'an, this is the foot of the Son of Heaven, this is the land of the rule of law, Grandpa Guo."

The two pro-soldiers pressed Li Baixiao's head, then he knelt in front of Shen Leng, no matter how Li Baixiao cried, pleaded, and struggled, it was to no avail.

He knelt there, trembling violently.

"Are you hiding something?"

"I ......"

Li Baixiao raised his head, tears and snot were scared.

"Grandpa Guo, if I say it, can I ...... Can you not kill me. ”

"Say!"

"Probably ......"

Li Baixiao swallowed a mouthful of foam with difficulty, and his face turned pale.

"About six or seven months ago, that is, before Grandpa Guo returned to Chang'an, someone once came to Baixiaotang, not to buy news, but to sell news, he said that he got the news that a group of people have recently been in and out of the Dakai Mountain in Chong'an County, and there may be some big moves, and he offered 100,000 taels."

"Grandpa Guo also knows that although Daning has excellent public security, it is common for some robbers and bandits to be between the mountains, Dakai Mountain is close to the Grand Canal, the terrain is dangerous, there are many caravans in the past, there have always been mountain bandits, I don't take it seriously at all, and he offers 100,000 taels, I also ...... I didn't think the news was worth it, so I ignored it. ”

"After another month or so, that person came again, and he said that the people in Dakai Mountain had done something that could shake the entire Daning, and absolutely no one knew about this news, and if I wanted to buy it, I had to give him 150,000 taels now."

"I thought in my heart that this was a madman, so I asked people to kick him out, and when he went out, he said with a smile and said to me, I missed a great opportunity to make meritorious service, and he said you wait, in a few months, there will be a big incident with the ticket number."

Shen Leng frowned: "Have you informed the Tingwei Mansion of this news?" ”

"No ......"

Li Baixiao said: "At that time, I didn't think he really knew any important news, every month Baixiaotang has someone to claim that he knows something great, and he will open sky-high prices with one mouth, most of them are crazy for money, I have seen too many of these people." ”

"And then?"

Shen Leng asked.

"Later...... I had people keep an eye on him. ”

Li Baixiao's Adam's apple moved up and down, obviously it was the things that were more important later, and his eyes were full of fear when he looked at Shen Leng.

"Although I suspect that he is here to make money, but I still sent someone to keep an eye on him, he lived in the Fengting Inn in Chang'an City, the shopkeeper of the Fengting Inn knew me, and then I asked the owner of the Fengting Inn to drug him in his food and tie people back."

"It was Xue Huoshan who brought him back, tied him to a house in the backyard of Baixiao Hall and forced him to ask, that guy was actually a hard guy, he refused to say anything, and then he hit the wall while we were careless."

Li Baixiao looked at Shen Leng: "He...... Before he died, he said that I had the opportunity to make meritorious contributions to save people, but I didn't grasp it myself, and I let people treat me, but I couldn't save it. ”

Shen Leng said: "With such important news, why didn't you tell Han Zhaozhi until the end?" ”

"I ......"

Li Baixiao said: "It's not that I don't want to say it, but I can't say it, that person was forced by my people to hit the wall and died, if this matter is told to Lord Han, Lord Han will also kill me......"

Shen Leng let out a long breath: "The person who came to sell you the news, what does it look like, where is the accent, tell me in detail." ”

"In his thirties, judging by his accent, he is from Jiangnan Dao, but he didn't say anything himself, from the perspective of physical fitness, he should have practiced martial arts for many years, and there is nothing special about rummaging through his things in the Fengting Inn, and he didn't even find Lu Yin."

Shen Leng asked: "Now I want to ask you something that has nothing to do with this person." ”

Li Baixiao hurriedly said, "Grandpa Guo, you ask." ”

Shen Leng leaned over and stared into his eyes: "You just said that every month there are people who come to your Bai Xiaotang to cheat money, do these people end up the same as that person?" That person wasn't the first person you Bai Xiaotang killed, right? ”

"This ......"

Li Baixiao opened his mouth and didn't answer.

Shen Leng straightened up: "I have a friend named Li Buxian, if that's right, he and you should be the descendants of the first idler in the rivers and lakes in the Chu period, originally I also thought of having the opportunity to let the two of you recognize each other, but now it seems that you are not worthy of knowing him." ”

Shen Leng ordered: "Send everyone to the Tingwei Mansion, and send the corpses over." ”

"Yes!"

Chen Ran responded and ordered his soldiers to load all the people and corpses into a carriage and send them to the Tingwei Mansion.

"Get ready, after lunch, go out of the city, the ship is already waiting at the Watergate Wharf in Dongcheng."

Shen Leng got up and looked at Erben and them, and then realized that his murderous aura was too heavy just now, maybe it scared them.

"You ...... It's all right."

The second Taoist patted his mouth and covered the hand and said, "Let go, let go of ......."

The little girl Chunrou hurriedly let go of her hand, because she was too hard, there were five white fingerprints on Erbendao's face, and her mouth was almost crooked by her, the upper half of her face was red, and the lower half of her face was white.

Erben Daoren glanced back at her: "Can you be a little stronger?" Don't you have any points in your heart? ”

The little girl said, "It's harmful...... I was scared, I was afraid to scream, so I had to cover my mouth. ”

Erben Taoist: "Then why are you covering my mouth?" ”

The little girl said: "I didn't think about it so much, I just opened my mouth, so I covered it." ”

The second Daoist sighed, walked to Shen Leng's side and said: "We're fine, although it does look a little bloody, but didn't the master say it, for them this time, even if they enter the world and practice, what they can't see today, they may be able to see it tomorrow." ”

Shen Leng said: "I'll pay attention next time and try not to kill people in front of you." ”

Erben asked: "Who is the person we are tracking down this time?" ”

Shen Leng shook his head: "I'm not sure now, why would anyone want to sell this news after knowing about the exchange of grain and grass in advance?" ”

He looked up at the sky, a little confused in his eyes.

If the first person to come to Baixiaotang came to sell money because he happened to know some secret, then who was the person who came the next day after the Hefeng Drizzle Building was bombed? Is there a connection between the two? He had just asked Li Baixiao, but Li Baixiao couldn't say.

And the second person is here to buy news, not to sell.

"Is there a possibility......"

Chen Ran looked at Shen Leng: "Sanyang is not dead?" ”

Shen Leng looked at Chen Ran: "What did you think of?" ”

Chen Ran sorted out his thoughts and said: "The first person to come to Baixiaotang to sell news may be the group of people who replaced the disaster relief materials, although I don't know why he did this, but it probably won't be wrong, otherwise, how could others know about the ticket number of Chong'an County?" ”

"The second person who came to buy the news may also be the guy who changed the supplies, Chen Sanyang fled by himself, he may indeed be involved, but he felt that the other party wanted to kill people, so he fled with his guys in advance, and the gang couldn't find it, so they wanted to try their luck in Baixiaotang."

Shen Leng pondered for a while, Chen Ran's statement was not unreasonable.

"How well do you know Chen Sanyang?"

"I don't know much about it."

Chen Ran said: "We entered the water division when we were teenagers, and then I had no contact with him, a few years ago, he came to Chang'an alone to see my father and wanted to borrow money, saying that the business was a loss, of course my father would not sit idly by, so I gave Chen Sanyang all the money I paid for him, this matter is a family matter, and I am not embarrassed to mention it to you." ”

"After two years, there was no contact, he took the money and disappeared, and two years later he came again, knelt in front of my father and cried, saying that he was deceived in business, and the money my father gave him was also lost, you know, my father is kind-hearted, and it is his own nephew......"

"I couldn't stand Chen Sanyang crying, so my father promised him to help him find a livelihood in Chang'an City, but my father didn't go out, where did he know anyone, but ......"

Chen Ran looked at Shen Leng a little apologetically: "But my father knows Gao Xiaoyan, Gao Xiaoxiang was the big shopkeeper of the Chang'an City Sky Ticket Number at the time, my father actually went to ask Gao Xiaoyan, if it was someone else, Gao Xiaoyan would definitely not agree so quickly, but my father begged, and she agreed to let Chen Sanyang do things in the Sky Ticket Number." ”

"It just so happened that when my father and I led Chen Sanyang to the ticket number, Sister Lin was also there, so I also talked to her, not long after, His Majesty asked for a thorough investigation of the ticket number of Chang'an, and the people with the ticket number in Chang'an City were withdrawn, and Chen Sanyang was arranged to go to Chong'an County, I don't know, after a few years, he was actually the big shopkeeper."

Shen Leng nodded: "You don't have to feel sorry for it. ”

Shen Leng patted Chen Ran on the shoulder: "Let's find out as soon as possible." ”
