Chapter 394

When Li Shimin learned that it was Captain Tang Feng who came to his mansion, he immediately put down his work and directly ordered his subordinates to bring Captain Tang Feng to his living room, and then ordered his subordinates to serve two bowls of tea, and then closed the door of the room tightly, preparing to have a secret conversation with Captain Tang.

Li Shimin saw that he and Captain Tang Feng were the only two left in the room, so he moved the chair to Captain Tang Feng and sat down, and whispered to Captain Tang Feng: "How did you investigate the things I asked you to investigate?" Where is Liu Benli? ”

Captain Tang Fengfeng listened to Li Shimin's question, and even though he wanted to stand up and answer to Li Shimin respectfully, he was pressed on the chair by Li Shimin. I only heard Li Shimin continue: "There are only you and me in this room, and there is no need to stick to those mundane etiquette when the matter is urgent." If you say anything, just remember one thing, and don't go around in circles with me. ”

When Captain Tang heard Li Shimin's words, he had no choice but to obey. Although Li Shimin said that there was no need to be formal, he still sat on only one-third of the chair with trepidation, and said to Li Shimin with a slight bow: "General, please prepare mentally first." We found an unrecognizable corpse in Chang'an City yesterday, and the back of this corpse was also burned to rot. The burns were only on the face and back, so an accident was ruled out, and it was clear that the man had died as a result of his homicide, and that the man who had killed him had destroyed all the features of his body that might have been identified in order to prevent his identity from being revealed. If you just destroy your face, you won't mind too much, after all, destroying your face is enough to make people unrecognizable, but this person's back has been burned to rot by something unknown, so there are a lot of strange things in this. As you know, our Tang style's distinctive mark has always been a tattoo on the back. Plus, we're Tang Feng's. Unique markings. After the lower officials discovered the circumstances of this corpse, they had preliminary suspicions, and this person was very likely to be Liu Benli, who had been missing for several days.

Later, he and his brothers went to investigate the inn where Liu Benli had been before, and according to the shopkeeper there, Liu Benli had brought food to a tenant on the second floor on the day of his disappearance, and never came down again. So I went to the room with my brothers and found that the couch in the room was gone. Moreover, a lot of sawdust was found in the cracks of the floor, so it is preliminarily speculated that Liu Benli in that room had a fierce fight with the tenant, and it may even escalate into a physical conflict. Later, as expected, there were some blood stains mixed in the sawdust, and there was a three-edged groove on the floor that was not very conspicuous.

At first I was curious, why is the groove triangular in shape? Later, after seeing the wounds of the corpse, it dawned on me. It can be said that once injured by this vicious and vicious weapon, either immediately find a doctor to suture the wound and promote it to heal under the pressure of external forces, or you can only wait quietly for it to drain the blood in the body, and then die painfully. ”

Li Shimin listened to Captain Tang Feng's thirteen moves, but he never said the information he wanted to know the most, so he couldn't help but urge Captain Tang Feng anxiously and said: "I don't care about those things, I just want to know if that person is Liu Benli?" And if that person is really Liu Benli, then who is the tenant who killed him? I know Liu Benli's ability, if it is said that in front of the two armies, any soldier can take his life, but in the house, in this situation of close combat, there are still only a handful of people who can hurt Liu Benli. ”

After Captain Tang Feng nodded, he said to Li Shimin: "That tenant has already asked my brother to investigate, it is none other than the envoy Li Yun sent by Xue Ju. The meal that Liu Benli went to deliver to the person on the second floor was given to Li Yun. So no matter what, Li Yun is inseparable from Liu Benli's death. ”

Li Shimin was even more surprised after hearing this, and he was really stunned for a moment, and then said to Captain Tang: "Li Yun? Isn't Li Yun a civil official under Xue Ju? How could he have such force to kill Liu Benli? Are you sure there is nothing wrong with this information? ”

After listening to this, Captain Tang Feng said to Li Shimin: "General, when I first got this information, your reaction is the same as now. But I don't think there is any need for my brothers to lie to me, and there is no need for the innkeeper to lie to me, for if the matter is revealed, he will probably be arrested as an accomplice. Therefore, if nothing else, this information is absolutely true. And many people who stayed in the hall to eat that day also said that they had seen Li Yun, and the day after Liu Benli's disappearance, he hurriedly retreated from his room, and then rode his horse all the way away, seemingly very eager to leave Chang'an City. This is the information we have so far, and based on this existing information, we have speculated that the result is that Li Yun killed Liu Benli, and then fled Chang'an City in a hurry. The only question now is that we can't confirm whether the person who died is Li Yun or Liu Benli, but when Li Yun returns to Xue Ju, all this must have an answer. If this so-called "Li Yun" did not return to Xue Ju, then he would definitely be Liu Benli; On the contrary, if this "Li Yun" returns to Xue Ju's side, then the deceased will definitely be Liu Benli. You can't go wrong, and that's the limit of what we can do at the moment. It's a shame to say that his subordinates are incompetent, and he can only share the general's worries in this matter. ”

Li Shimin listened to Captain Tang's words, waved his hand, and then said, "It's not in the way." You have been able to investigate so much in such a short period of time. is already extremely good, how can you say that you are incompetent? Li Yun escaped from Chang'an City that day to today, counting the days, if he had traveled under the stars and nights, he would have fled back to Xue Ji's territory by this time. What's more, now that the cooperation agreement between my Datang and Xue Ju has just been reached, this is not a good opportunity for Liu Benli to do this. ”
