Yang Huairen analyzed it and pondered all the situations he could think of, but he still didn't come up with who wanted to kill his whole family. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

He began to realize that Liang Yitan's death might just be a coincidence, and the day he entered Tongyuan County was random, not a predetermined day.

Tong Guan set up a banquet for him in Xiyu Building, the largest restaurant in Tongyuan County, to catch the wind and wash the dust, maybe it can be calculated, but at the same time, he met Liang Yitan leading his men to the Xiyu Building to bully the shopkeeper's father and daughter, which can only be explained by coincidence.

In this way, the murderer's plan to poison Liang Yitan may have existed in the first place, and blaming Yang Huairen was just a whim?

Yang Huairen felt that there was quite a contradiction here, the mixed poison of mandala flower poison and tetrodotoxin was obviously aimed at him personally, but he chose Liang Yitan, a person with a special identity, which could not be foreseen, so it was not clear here.

If it was really what he thought, it was just a coincidence that this murderer killed two birds with one stone, then Yang Huairen felt that he was unlucky enough.

Fortunately, Yang Huairen is a time-traveling person, although he is not a professional detective, but his deeper and broader knowledge allows him to have another angle to find clues.

Huanzhou is a state and county in the northwest borderland, and there are not many people in the county, and the population mobility is not strong.

It is precisely because of the special geographical location of Tongyuan County that the soldiers who patrol the city camp and guard the gate of the city patrol camp must conduct a strict inspection of the people entering and leaving the county seat, and make detailed records. If there are living people coming in and out, they should all be more impressed.

Since this murderer framed Yang Huairen, then he must not be the original person in Tongyuan County, he must have only recently come to Tongyuan County, and from the soldiers guarding the gate, he may be able to get unexpected clues.

This matter naturally has to ask Yang Shihu to help do it. Yang Shihu was also very nervous because of this matter, in his heart Yang Huairen did not need to kill Liang Yitan at all, so he felt that he must be innocent, when Yang Huairen roughly told him that someone might be trying to frame him for blaming him, Yang Shihu expressed his willingness to do his best to help.

Tongyuan County only has two city gates in the north and south, because it has just started spring, and there are more people coming in and out of the county in the past few days than in winter.

However, this is also relative, compared to the flow of people in Zhongyuan Prefecture and County, this is not much more.

The local people and the soldiers guarding the city are basically familiar, and there is nothing suspicious about these people, and they basically skip the investigation in ordinary times.

Among the fresh faces, there are very few people visiting relatives and friends, most of them are merchants, either they came to Tongyuan County to buy rare things from the Western Regions and returned to the Central Plains to sell, or they brought tea and silk and other goods from the Central Plains to sell to Western Xia.

The composition of the merchants is also more complicated, there are Song people, and there are also Hu people of all colors. And some merchants are the whole caravan into the city, similar to this situation, because a caravan is a large number of people, the goods are complicated, and the inspection is more time-consuming and laborious, so the soldiers guarding the door only roughly check whether there are prohibited goods in the goods, and for people, they can only simply record a name and place of origin.

With this information, Yang Huairen had a new idea. As long as you find out what suspicious people are in these caravans, you may be able to find some new clues from your relationship with him.

This matter is handed over to the internal guard, Tongyuan County is not very big, the inn and the inn are basically on a street running from north to south, check one by one, it will not take long to find out the situation of all the caravans that have recently entered Tongyuan County.

Lian Zigeng knew that this matter was very important to Hou Ye, so the execution of this task was very strong, and the efficiency of the internal guards was very high, and it only took half a day to find three suspicious caravans.

The first was a caravan of the Tanguts. The reason why this caravan makes people feel suspicious is that the goods carried by this caravan are not very valuable, but they consume a lot of manpower, material and financial resources.

As mentioned earlier, although Liang Yitan was the son of Liang Yiti, the minister of power in Western Xia, he did not serve in the Western Xia court.

Yang Huairen actually admired Liang Yikui's arrangement, in Western Xia, their Liang family was powerful enough, he was the prime minister in power, and his sister was the queen mother who listened to the government, and the Liang family's position in the Western Xia power class was unparalleled for a while.

Liang Yitan is only in his early twenties, and there is no need to immediately arrange for him to have any real power official position in the imperial court, it is better to let him come out to take charge of the family's financial resources and use the power of the family to earn a lot of wealth, which will not only help the stability of the Liang family's position, but also a kind of sharpening for him himself.

Liang Yitan relied on the prestige of the Liang family, and naturally controlled the most profitable transactions in the Song and Xia border trades, and the rest were relatively low-profit and laborious transactions that were left to ordinary Western Xia merchants.

The Jin Jutang guards brought by Yang Huairen came out for the first time, and they may not know much about this point, so they feel that the behavior of this group of Western Xia merchants is a little different from the mercenary merchants they usually perceive, and it is not difficult to understand.

The second is the Han caravan of the Great Song Dynasty, and it came from the city of Tokyo, and the time to enter the city was the day before Yang Huairen entered the city.

Yang Huairen came to Huanzhou on the first day and turned around and went to the Yang family's ranch first, so he entered Tongyuan County one day late.

But the problem is that Yang Huairen doesn't have any impression of such a caravan, which is a bit strange. However, the trade done by this group of merchants is really ordinary, it seems that they came to buy the furs of the Western Xia, both in terms of the season and the goods, and the owner of the caravan is indeed engaged in the business of selling Western Regions furs in the city of Tokyo, which is not suspicious.

And the third caravan is the most suspicious for Yang Huairen, because this group of people is not very numerous, and the key is that these people are Khitans.

There are also many merchants of the Khitan people who do border trade, but they are all engaged in Song-Liao border trade, and they take several ports in the north of the Great Song Dynasty, such as Fuzhou, Daizhou, or directly take the Grand Canal.

The Khitan caravans that did the border trade in the Song and Xia were really pitiful, even if they bought goods from the western part of the Great Song Dynasty and coveted the convenience of the caravans returning to the western part of the Great Liao in the Western Xia, there was no need to take the road around the state.

What makes people feel even more suspicious is that since this Khitan caravan arrived in Tongyuan County a few days ago, it did not contact other merchants to sell goods, and second, it was not in a hurry to go north, but lived in Tongyuan County.
