Chapter 13: A Sudden Change

Wu Zhenshan told Ling Xia that since receiving the news of the disappearance of the Praetorian Guards, guards have been set up in all sections of the province to check the situation, all prefectures and counties have set up cards along the streets, and all the officials have been scattered, and as long as there are suspicious people, the government will come forward to arrest them, but as of now, no clues have been found anywhere.

"The imperial imperial examination, the place of the government examination."

Hearing Wu Zhenshan's question, Ling Xia pointed to the direction of the river channel in the distance, and seeing that Wu Zhenshan still didn't understand, Ling Xia told him: "The general may have forgotten one thing, this year is the year of the imperial imperial examination, and the county examination has just ended last month.

Those candidates and their entourage, most of them are riding horses, so they give the murderer a good cover, at the time of the crime, someone must have been injured, the murderers want to avoid the investigation and healing, they can only pretend to be students, use the identity of the candidates as a cover, they will temporarily hide in the boundary of the river house, and when the government test is over and the provincial test is opened, they can go to the provincial capital openly.

The government test is about to start in a few days, as far as I know, the government test is invigilated by the officials of the governor's yamen, Su Jing'an came to the river house at this time, and it is estimated that he is the invigilator of the government test, the government test is only two days, if he is in a group with the murderer, then after the government test is over, he will leave the river house with those murderers.

General, Su Jing'an is a dignified political envoy, and he has a lot of power in the province, once he returns to the provincial capital, it is to his own territory, and he can do whatever he wants. ”

After talking about the powerful relationship, Ling Xia instigated Wu Zhenshan to go to Su Jing'an to rob someone, and he told Wu Zhenshan that if Ling Baiyu was really the missing female general, then she was the only witness to this case, and as long as she was cured, she would be able to know all the details of this case, so Su Jing'an must not be allowed to take her away.

Wu Zhenshan is a martial character, and was so encouraged by Ling Xia that he really had the idea of robbing people, he first ordered a detailed investigation of the place where Ling Baiyu was detained, and then he ordered all his soldiers to be on standby, and in the time of half a cup of tea, he came over to reply carefully, Su Jing'an was personally escorting Ling Baiyu to the yamen of the river mansion.

Hearing that Su Jing'an was gone, Wu Zhenshan was more anxious than Ling Xia, and then led the team to catch up, seeing Wu Zhenshan's troubled appearance, and then at Ling Xia, who had succeeded in his treacherous face, the fine man couldn't help but remind: "General, Su Jing'an is a political envoy after all, let's move him, do you want to ask the chief soldier for instructions?" ”

"Will be outside, the king's order will not be affected. This place is too far away from the military camp of the chief soldier, even if it is a flying pigeon, it has to fly for half a day, and by the time the general soldier approves it, a day has passed, and by that time, Su Jing'an has long since disappeared. After speaking, Wu Zhenshan walked out of the military tent to chase after Su Jing'an.

", this guy is actually more active than me, looking at his angry appearance, I don't know and think that his sister was robbed!"

Ling Xia stood in the military tent, looked at Wu Zhenshan with a stunned face, stunned for a moment, he hurriedly chased out of the military tent, at this time Wu Zhenshan had already chased out on horseback, and found the fine work from the team.

Su Jing'an and his party left in an official sedan chair, while Wu Zhenshan and the others chased after them on horseback, so half an hour later, Wu Zhenshan led people to catch up with Su Jing'an, looking at the soldiers blocking around, staring at Wu Zhenshan who was riding on a horse opposite, Su Jing'an's face showed a trace of gloom.

"Your Excellency, may I ask who is sitting in the sedan chair?" Wu Zhen Shanyin asked testimonishmently.

"That's a friend of Benguan." Su Jing'an replied.

"Friends?" With a sneer, Wu Zhenshan motioned to his subordinates to check the sedan chair, as soon as he raised his hand, Ling Xia couldn't wait to rush up, and when he opened the sedan curtain and saw Ling Baiyu who was leaning on the sedan chair in a coma, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Reporting Ling Baiyu out of the sedan chair, Ling Xia put her on a horse, looked at Wu Zhenshan and Su Jing'an who were facing each other, he led the horse and quietly retreated, taking advantage of the fact that others didn't notice him, Ling Xia suddenly jumped on the horse, then flicked the reins, and rode away into the distance.

Although Ling Xia couldn't ride a horse, he had seen Ling Baiyu ride a horse before, and he had asked her about the tips of riding, so he could also ride a horse, but because he was riding a horse for the first time, his skills were not up to par, and he always couldn't control the horse well.

The changes on Ling Xia's side instantly attracted the attention of Wu Zhenshan and the others, no one thought that Ling Xia would suddenly escape, so when Ling Xia left with Ling Baiyu, Wu Zhenshan and Su Jing'an were all stunned.

Stunned, Wu Zhenshan was the first to come back to his senses, pointing to the direction of Ling Xia's escape, he yelled, and then rode his horse to chase after him. Not only Wu Zhenshan, but after Su Jing'an saw this change, he also hurriedly beckoned his subordinates to pursue it.

"Driving...... Appeal ......"

Wu Zhenshan's horseback riding skills are very skillful, and after a while, he caught up with Ling Xia, after he forced Ling Xia to stop, he rode his horse in front of Ling Xia, and after such a while, Su Jing'an's people and his subordinates all caught up.

Wu Zhenshan showed a hint of anger, and asked Ling Xia in a tone that was neither yin nor yang: "I helped you save your sister, so you thank me like this?" Brother Ling, where are you going? Why don't you just leave without saying hello? ”

Seeing that he was surrounded by Wu Zhenshan's soldiers, Ling Xia smiled, he looked at Wu Zhenshan opposite, and said lightly: "General Wu, let's not talk darkly, let's just say it, I have seen through your identity." ”

"Oh?" Looking at Ling Xia with a smile, Wu Zhenshan asked him playfully: "Didn't you say before that Su Jing'an was the mastermind of this Yin Soldier borrowing incident?" Why are you suspicious of me again? Tell me, what identity do I have to find out? ”

After the words fell, Wu Zhenshan raised his head towards Su Jing'an on the opposite side, he told Ling Xia what he had analyzed from the military tent before, as well as the process of suspecting Su Jing'an, and told him in public, Wu Zhenshan's purpose was obvious, in order to split Ling Xia and Su Jing'an.

In this regard, Ling Xia admitted frankly: "Yes, I did suspect Su Jing'an at the beginning, and even just half an hour ago, I suspected that he was the mastermind of this incident, but just as we left your military tent, I suddenly found out that I was wrong.

Although Su Jing'an has something to do with this matter, he is by no means the mastermind of the Yin Soldier Borrowing Incident, on the contrary, you, the general of the Battle Guards, are the masterminds behind all this, if you hadn't said it yourself, I wouldn't have discovered all this. ”

Hearing Ling Xia's words, Wu Zhenshan was a little stunned at first, and then he looked at Ling Xia with a curious expression: "I said it myself?" Hehe? Hearing you say this, General Ben really feels a little strange, let's say, where did I say that I missed my mouth? ”

Ling Xia replied, "Do you remember the scene in the military tent before?" You ordered to intercept Su Jing'an, and just as we were about to leave the military tent, that detailed work reminded you and asked you if you wanted to ask the chief soldier for instructions? But you refused. ”

"Will be outside, the king's order will not be affected." Muttering to himself, Wu Zhenshan shrugged his shoulders: "This sentence is normal, I don't think there is anything wrong?" ”

"General Wu may not remember it clearly, but I still remember that your original words were: the general is outside, and the king's order is not affected. This place is too far away from the military camp of the chief soldier, even if it is a flying pigeon to pass the book, it will have to fly for half a day, and by the time the general soldier approves it, a day has passed, and by that time, Su Jing'an has long since disappeared. ”

After repeating Wu Zhenshan's previous words, seeing that Wu Zhenshan had not noticed that there was any problem, Ling Xia stopped selling Guan Zi and directly made his words clear: "Your Excellency, General Wu, can I ask you two one thing?"

The Yin Soldier borrowed the road around early last night, and at the time of the incident, no one around saw the incident, and there was no trace at the scene, but how did you two know that the Yin Soldier borrowed the road incident in Feifengling? Why did it come in such a timely manner? ”

When he heard Wu Zhenshan describe Ling Xia's analysis before, Su Jing'an fell into shock and contemplation, and now when he heard Ling Xia's question, he thought for a while, and slowly replied: "I just heard what Wu Zhenshan narrated, and this official is really eye-opening.

Although Brother Ling's previous analysis was not all right, he also guessed seven or eight times out of ten, this kind of thinking and reasoning ability, this official admires, since you asked this question, then I will answer it truthfully, in fact, this official came here ------ to answer the deputy commander of Tu Hu.

According to the agreement, they should have arrived at the Yamen of the River Mansion at about 1 a.m., so the official rushed to the Yamen of the River Mansion in advance to wait, but at 2 o'clock in the morning, Tu Hu and the others had not yet come, and the official noticed that something was wrong at that time.

Subsequently, on the one hand, I sent people to the intersection of the official road to answer, and on the other hand, I sent people to inquire along the way, and while I was anxiously waiting, the passer-by who was in charge of answering came to say that they had found an abnormality at the intersection at the foot of the Feifengling mountain pass.

Since the official was only responsible for answering the person, after inquiring about the incident, I flew a pigeon and sent a letter to the governor, and reported the matter to the governor, and waited for the governor's order until early in the morning when the official received the reply ordering me to find out the matter.

Coincidentally, as soon as the official received the governor's approval, the Chong'an County Order reported to the prefect's yamen, saying that there was an incident of Yin soldiers borrowing the road below Feifengling, and when he heard this, the official didn't have time to think about it, so he led Pei Guozhong straight to Feifengling. ”

After listening to Su Jing'an's answer, Wu Zhenshan seemed to think of something? Immediately afterward, a look of ugliness appeared on his face.

"I believe that the answer of Lord Bu Political Envoy is true," after commenting, Ling Xia looked at Wu Zhenshan and asked him: "General Wu, I remember that during the day, when you were arguing with Lord Su, you once mentioned the reason why you came to Feifengling.

That's what you said at the time, these people who disappeared this time are the Imperial Capital Praetorian Guard, and the Praetorian Guard and your defense army are both subordinate to the Ministry of War and belong to the military establishment, since it involves the army, you naturally have the right to interfere.

Before you left, the commander-in-chief of the military aircraft personally gave you an order to thoroughly investigate the case. Since the commander of the military aircraft can personally give you an order, it means that you and the chief soldier are meeting face to face at the headquarters of the battle guard.

General Wu, then let me ask, it was around the early morning that the Yin soldiers borrowed the road in Feifengling, and you were far away from the headquarters of the Provincial City Battle Guards, how did you know that the Yin soldiers borrowed the road here? Also, how do you know that it's the Imperial Capital Praetorian Guard who is missing? ”

"This ------ well----- is this ------- this-------" Wu Zhenshan was forced speechless by Ling Xia.
