Zhou Ya, Yuwen Wen was talking with Zheng Tong, and the other party went to Zhang's mansion in the morning to talk to Zhang Liu and Zhang Li for a long time, and finally found some useful content from the complicated information.

"In other words, that Zhang Xiaowu, a servant of the Zhang Mansion, colluded with the thieves to help Lang advocate An to find a group of black coachmen?" Yuwenwen asked, Zheng Tong nodded and said yes, that day Zhang An decided to take his wife Zhang Li back to Hengzhou to visit relatives, because there were not enough carriages in the house, so he had to hire a carriage, and there were many coachmen who could be hired in Xiyang City, so he asked the servant Zhang Xiaowu to hire them.

Zhang Xiaowu hired a coachman to find a famous car and horse shopkeeper in Xiyang City, and later after the accident, the government also sent the shopkeeper to question, and the shopkeeper said that Zhang Xiaowu had found him and sent a message early the next morning saying that there was no need to hire someone and pay liquidated damages.

"Zhang Xiaowu went out with Zhang An that day, and later died together, and it was confirmed by the autopsy." Zheng Tong said, seeing Yu Wenwen's suspicious look, he immediately explained that Liu Qing, who later framed Zhang Li's family, also heard some rumors, saying that Zhang An himself took the idea to temporarily replace him.

The problem is that Zhang Xiaowu pouted, the specific reason is unknown, according to the original speculation, Zhang An felt cheap and reliable, so he agreed, and today Zheng Tong and Zhang An's widow Zhang Li asked from the other party what she didn't remember before.

According to Zhang Li's recollection, on the morning of his departure, he heard someone mention that Zhang Xiaowu was benevolent and righteous to take care of his friends, which was a bit clueless, but she later thought that this was probably referring to the change of hiring a coachman. ”

"After that day, I met a few riders on the way, Zhang An talked very happily with each other, according to Zhang Li's words, although Zhang An has a wide range of friends on weekdays, but he may not be able to get acquainted with strangers immediately."

In other words, the other party can bring up the topic that Zhang An is interested in. After all, it is this Xiao Wu who has become a thief," Yu Wenwen groaned. "He colluded with thieves to sell Lord Lang's family, and he never wanted to be exterminated?"

Zheng Tong judged. Since the thieves have taken a lot of trouble to kidnap people, there are indeed two groups, Zhang Xiaowu may just really take care of his friends, or collude with the thieves to kidnap the housemother, as for the kidnapping driver, the other coachmen can be said to be thieves, as for Zhang An's attack and death, and the property was robbed, it was done by another group of thieves, otherwise there was no need to commit the crime twice, so Zhang Xiaowu was afraid of the Lang master, and it was also an accident.

Yu Wenwen agreed with his judgment and asked Zhang Xiaowu if there were any clues about the people who came and went on weekdays, Zheng Tong said that with the assistance of Zhang's house, he had found servants to interrogate and sort out all the people that Zhang Xiaowu had more contact with on weekdays, and now he had sent officials to investigate.

As for the first suspect, Tian Yilong tried his best to deny that he had entered the city in April, so the reason for his entry into the city was also investigated, but there was no clue at present, although the Tian clan was self-contained, they were low-key in Xiyang City, and they did not have the audacity of the local heroes as they imagined.

"Pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger? Could it be that on the surface, humans and animals are harmless, but in fact they are extremely filthy? Yuwen Wen muttered to himself. This Tian clan and Lu clan's style is a bit beyond his imagination, these two families have multiplied in the Xiyang realm for hundreds of years, although they occupy the mountains and solidify Ze, but it seems that they live their own lives with the well water of the official mansion and the river water.

Zheng Tong said that the world is as black as a crow, and the means that Haoqiang should have elsewhere must have these two families, but they did a good job on the surface and didn't let people catch the handle.

But it was the messenger from Hengzhou who sent Zhou Faming's letter and a copied confession, Yuwenwen first read the letter, then read the confession, and then applauded the case, he handed the confession to Zheng Tong, and the other party was also overjoyed after reading it several times: "I didn't expect it to be Zhou Langjun's side with news!" ”

In the letter, Zhou Faming said that Li Que'er, the thief who robbed the merchant travel, had confessed that he had led people to intercept and kill Zhang An and his party on the official road in April, and that Li Que'er's confession about the case was recorded in detail.

Yu Wenwen asked Zhang Yu to take money to thank the person who sent the letter, and then he took out a map of Bazhou and put it on the bookcase, unfolded it, and pointed with Zheng Tong with a pen to discuss the possible scope of the mountain villa where Zhang Li was captive.

According to Zhang Li's account, there was a post station not far in front of the official road when the carriage she was riding was broken, but according to the case file, when the state government investigated the case and questioned the post station, the other party did not find that a similar carriage passed by that day. From this it was judged that the coachman had gone the other way before the post station.

However, after the incident, the state government sent people to investigate around according to this line of thought, but did not find Zhuangzi who matched Zhang Li's description, and when she was taken to the villa by the coachman, she got out of the car and entered the village, and had an impression of the situation near the gate. But according to this impression, I couldn't find it.

"I think that since the thief originally planned to let Zhang Li leave, in addition to blindfolding, he also had to cover up the façade, so according to the map, I am afraid that he will never be found."

"Yes, repaint the gates and walls, cut down the big trees around them, or put a few on them, so that people can glimpse them differently from the outside." Yu Wenwen frowned, there was still too little information about the villa.

Zhang Li's family is a woman's Taoist family on weekdays, even if they go out of Zhang's mansion, that is, they are circling in Xiyang City, and the specific topography and orientation of the villa are not clear at all, and she can remember the color of the gate and wall of the villa.

Yu Wenwen 'suffers' from serious paranoia of victimization, so he looks everywhere, while Zheng Tong is the master who sees and listens to all directions, and it is too reluctant to ask for a weak woman compared to these two 'perverts' whose observation is different from ordinary people.

"Fortunately, Zhang Li still recalled some other details, and he painted them according to his description." After Zheng Tong finished speaking, he took out a piece of paper from his arms, and after unfolding it, Yu Wenwen looked over and saw that it was a 'sketch', which was the general appearance of the main gate of a manor, along with the walls at both ends, and the surrounding area.

"Zhang Li doesn't know how to describe it, but he only remembered it from time to time after asking questions one by one, and the biggest gain is the mountain near the villa and the direction of the villa." Zheng Tong said,

First of all, the shadow, even if Zhang Li didn't know the time and didn't know the direction, but fortunately it was a sunny day, and when she got out of the car cautiously in front of the villa, she noticed that her shadow was at her feet, and it was about noon at this time.

In the instinct of a normal person, when he comes to a strange place, he will always involuntarily look around, Zhang Li naturally found that he was in a strange place, and when he walked to the gate, he saw a mountain behind the manor.

Yuwenwen said that the south of the mountain and the north of the water are yang, and most of the big families choose the south side of the mountain when they start their houses, and they sit in the north and face south, so no matter how they change, the gate faces the south and the road is on the south side of the villa.

He thinks that Bazhou is mountainous, and when he wants to come to Xiubei Villa, he chooses the south side, according to this statement, it is not possible that nine out of ten houses meet this description, and it is no wonder that the state government sent people to look for a long time and cannot be sure.

Zheng Tong confidently said that there was a feature of the villa that he asked from Zhang Li's mouth: "Before arriving at the villa, Zhang Li sat in the car and kept climbing the carriage tightly with his hands, so it was inferred that the villa was on a slope. ”

"What's strange about the villa on the hillside" Yu Wenwen wanted to almost blurt out "nonsense", but he still held back, because he heard the meaning of the words, seeing Zheng Tong's mysterious appearance, he thought for a moment, and then raised his eyebrows: "The carriage can't go uphill fast, it's too steep and can't go up, so I think it's the downhill that causes the body to lean forward and climb the carriage, this is all climbing the carriage or has it been climbing, presumably the horse spreads its hooves and runs too bumpy, and does she lean to the left or right?" ”

When Zheng Tong heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then his face showed admiration: "Make you so meticulous!" Humble admiration"

"Come less, don't bother to ask so much, you write out the relevant details, and the official will immediately send someone to cast the net!" (To be continued.) )
