Chapter 960: Go south to Taizhou
Taizhou Thorn Shi Su Yan is Su Yin's father, and when he heard this place, Gao Jun and Fan Ying couldn't help but glance at each other. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info two people can go to Taizhou, which must undoubtedly be what Su Yin is looking forward to.
Lord Fan not only wanted to find out the cause of his brother and sister-in-law's death, but also feared that his majesty's appointment would be delayed. He saw his niece Fan Ying crying sadly, no matter whether he checked it or not, Fan Boshan's heart was very conflicted.
But what he didn't expect was that Gao Jun couldn't even guess for a moment, and he actually had a clearer direction of inspection with just a receipt. Lord Fan secretly said in his heart, no wonder there are so many human spirits in Ashina Desire Valley, Gang Chengji and Jiannan Dao who can't do anything about him.
His heart was relieved, so he also smiled, "It seems that being old is also a treasure!" Thinking about Zhenguan for nine years, you and Ying'er are only in their teens, where do you know Haizhou and Taizhou! ”
Chu Suiliang was in a good mood and said, "It's time for you to go to Taizhou, Master Su must be happy to entertain his son-in-law in the governance office!" Such a son-in-law is something that ordinary people can't dream of. ”
Gao Jun said, then my sister and I will accompany the two adults, you go south for business, and we will visit!
Before leaving, Gao Jun asked Li Junshi to visit Fan Ying's hometown to see if there was a person with a lame right leg among Fan Bojiang's past friends. It would be better if we could find out who Fan Bojiang and his wife entrusted their daughter to before they went out.
He also asked Yu Qianxian County to immediately find someone to dig up within a 100-step radius of the place where the three people were killed, or in the direction of the lower reaches of the Zixi River, to see if they could dig up the remains or bones of horse-drawn carriages and driving livestock. Li Junshi and Zheng Zao immediately sent someone to do it.
The remains of Fan Ying's parents were still taken care of by Zheng Zao, the county commander of Qianxian County, while Fan Boshan, Chu Suiliang, Gao Jun, and Fan Ying immediately set off and went to Haizhou in the past, which is now Taizhou, along the official road.
In this way, the two adults who went to Leizhou and Yazhou for disaster relief happened to be on the way with Gao Jun and Fan Ying.
It would be great if the mystery of the dead could be solved in a short period of time. But the delay is too long, and the case has no eyebrows, don't say that the two of them can't wait any longer, and neither can Gao Jun and Fan Ying.
Gao Jun ran so far with his junior sister this time, as soon as he came, he could turn around to Qianzhou, and the situation in Qianzhou was good, so he took some people to escort Su Yin and Cui Yan back to Xizhou.
In addition, the life experience of his sister Fan Ying has always been remembered by him. When the two were studying art in Zhongnan Mountain, Fan Ying was cheerful and lively, and she was very active, but she was sad once when she talked about her life experience.
Finally, with such news, Fan Ying must rush back. But not only is Gao Jun not at ease when she is allowed to travel alone, but none of the women in the family will agree.
But this trip will not leave much effort for them, excluding the cost of the road and the delay of the two in Qianzhou, whether it is clear or not, he has to quickly return to Yuqian County to bury the two elders.
Then, the time for the four of them to stay in Taizhou should be calculated by hours.
The blow to the back of Fan's head had pierced his skull, which was a fatal injury. But Mrs. Fan had no scars on her body at all.
According to Master Chu, at that time, the posture of the couple was that of a woman and a man, with Fan Bojiang on his back, while Mrs. Fan was holding the "Yellow Lotus" bead box and prostrating herself on Fan Bojiang's body.
Gao Jun said that the possible plot is: on the night of the heavy thunderstorm, Fan Ying's parents' car happened to be walking on the mountain road above the Zixi Stream, and a sudden thunder destroyed the mountain cliff, causing the two to fall into the stream without help, so Fan knows that there is probably an explanation for the impact on the back of Jiang's head.
But such an inference needs to be corroborated - that is, to see if Zheng Zao can dig up the wreckage of the carriage and horse.
Because in the middle of the night when the wind and rain were blowing, it was impossible for Mrs. Fan to run outside the carriage, but in the process of the car falling, it was possible for people to fall out from the inside. So the people who accompanied him also understood that what Gao Jun had ordered Zheng Zao to do before setting off had already been planned.
"What if we can't dig up the wreckage of the horses and wagons? Is it possible? Fan Boshan asked as he walked.
"You can't let a man fall into the water and not be swept away, while a carriage is nowhere to be seen. If the wreckage of the cart and horse cannot be dug up, it can almost be concluded that the two elders were killed here, and the cart was driven away by the traitor at that time! ”
Fan Ying asked, "Senior brother, if the car was driven away, it wouldn't be the headless man." ”
Gao Jun said, "That's why I said it's important to find the traces of the chariot and horse." ”
Fan Boshan and Chu Suiliang listened to the words of the two young people here, and thought that they were reasonable. But Master Chu speculated, "Could it be that the pearl seller used the Yellow Lotus Pearl as bait to get a sum of money first, and then secretly followed him here, taking advantage of the opportunity to recapture the pearl?" ”
Gao Jun's expression seemed to be a little reluctant to agree with this speculation, he didn't say anything, but just said to Master Chu, "I guess this pearl seller is unlikely to be a great traitor, and besides, he and his father-in-law have had business dealings for many years, how can my father-in-law not know who he is?" ”
"But people change, especially when things happen suddenly. Like him, he is willing to sell Huang Lianzhu for a very small price, and according to his own officials, it really has some intention to tempt people to take the bait," Fan Boshan said.
Everything can only be done after arriving in Taizhou, and then visiting this Wang Haijiao first.
Taizhou, Hangzhou, three hundred and sixty miles, if Gao Jun and Fan Ying are like flying horses, it will be there before it gets dark. Because there were two civil officials, although the road was also "urgent", I still stopped at a store in the middle of the night.
In the evening, the two old and two young did not say much about the day's events, and Lord Chu asked about the drought in Qianzhou with great concern. Gao Jun briefly talked about the situation in Qianzhou, and he was actually not very sure about the idea he gave Su Yin.
Lord Chu said, "You can rest assured, according to the old man, His Majesty will probably not be too harsh on Gao Thorn Shi, and after the old man and Lord Fan return to Beijing for disaster relief, when there is a suitable time, he will also speak a lot of good words for Gao Thorn Shi in front of His Majesty." ”
At this time, Chu Suiliang probably thought that there was no doubt that he would return to Beijing early to resume his post during the Ding Worry.
Fan Ying's mood has stabilized slightly, and finally her parents have the exact whereabouts, and after so many years, she can still see the faces of her relatives, which is a blessing in misfortune, so there are more words than when she was in Qianxian.
"Senior brother, after we go back, are we going to go back to Zhongnan Mountain to see Master?"
Gao Jun said that Zhongnan Mountain was the last place to go on this trip, and perhaps the cause of death of the two elders could finally be revealed, that is, after meeting the master.
Chu Suiliang and Fan Boshan heard them talk about Zhongnan Mountain, and their words were half pulled, knowing that they didn't want to talk more about that mysterious figure, so they didn't ask more.
But the trip to Taizhou undoubtedly gave them more expectations. After a night's rest, they set off at dawn and galloped, and half a day later, Taizhou was in sight.
Three of Taizhou's five counties have both salt and iron, and their population has reached nearly 500,000. Xizhou is also five counties, and the area is several times larger than Taizhou, but the population is only less than 50,000.
After Tiantai Mountain, in Taizhou Thorn History Mansion, Gao Jun and Fan Ying met Su Yin's parents for the first time. And the Assassins also saw their prominent son-in-law for the first time.
Like the New Year, the Assassin's Mansion immediately became busy inside and out. The visit of Fan and Chu, two high-ranking officials appointed by Chang'an to go south on important business trips, is also a visit for Taizhou that has not been encountered for many years.
Su Yan stabbed Shi to receive four people at the banquet, feeling that Taizhou had a lot of relationship with the two well-known yamen in Chang'an because of his son-in-law.
And in addition to taking every opportunity to take a good look at the young and handsome governor of Xizhou, Mrs. Thorn Shi is also affectionate to Fan Ying.
From Gao Junken's departure from the post and personally accompanying her to the east, it can be seen that this woman's status in the family of the governor of Xizhou.
