The next day, after taking a bath, changing into clean clothes, and getting enough rest, Yao Gan came to Lu Zhen again, his whole spirit was much better, and he looked at the governor with a little more gratitude.

After retreating from the others, only Lu Jin, him, and Qinggel were left in the room, and the former smiled and asked him to sit down, saying, "Okay, now you can tell you what happened to you and the reason in detail." I believe that something must have happened to you. Let's start with who you are. ”

Yao Gan nodded, and then said: "The villain was originally a former army scout captain in Datong City, and he had also made some small contributions before, and he was rewarded by the chief soldier. I thought that I would be able to make more feats on the battlefield in the future, and I would be able to fight for a wife, but I didn't expect ......" Speaking of this, thinking of his relatives who were brutally killed, he couldn't help but shed tears in his eyes: "And all this is actually because of that Shi Heng arrived in Datong!" ”

Lu Zhen realized that Yao Gan was able to escape from Shanxi to Shandong precisely because he had many years of experience and ability as a scout, hiding his body and running long distances are all necessary abilities for an excellent scout. But he didn't say anything, just listened quietly, because he knew that what the other party needed now was a qualified listener.

Sure enough, Yao Gan only gritted his teeth and continued: "Although the villain's status is low, I have also heard about some things. Because Shi Heng wanted to seize the military power in the hands of General Hu, there was a lot of friction between the two. It was only because General Hu was quite prestigious in the army that Shi Heng had no way to deal with him for a while. But in order to deal with General Soldier Hu, the one surnamed Shi began to win over the generals in the army, and his status was already higher than that of the General Soldier, so the General Soldier could only tolerate it in every possible way.

"And it all started with a battle with the Tartars in February of this year. At that time, the villain was ordered to take his brothers to investigate the movements of the Tartars, and during this time, he did find out their movements and transmitted the news back to Datong.

"Results...... Under the personal leadership of General Hu Zongbing, our Datong official army was actually ambushed by the Tartars, suffered heavy losses, and had to retreat to Guancheng. And that Shi Heng used this as an excuse to seize the right to lead the army of the chief soldier, and also complained to the imperial court, saying that the chief soldier was greedy for merit and rashly attacked before he could confirm the movement of the Tartars......"

Lu Zhen frowned when he heard this, at that time he should have been busy with all kinds of preparations before going to sea, so he had no idea that such a change had happened in the imperial court and the border pass. At the same time, he also quickly thought of the inside story, but he was afraid that Shi Heng had done all this.

Yao Gan continued: "At that time, the villain only said that the information he found was wrong, and he deliberately went to General Hu to confess the crime. Unexpectedly, he then said that the information he had received was completely different from the one I had reported. It wasn't until this time that I knew that someone had framed General Hu and thousands of soldiers!

"But I'm just a small person, and I don't dare to say such things, and Mr. Hu also understands this, so he also told me not to make a noise. Unexpectedly, in the next month or so, my brothers kept dying because of various things, and when I found out that the situation was not good, I was also caught by Xue Changqing in the name of colluding with the Tartars. It wasn't until this time that I realized that in order to ensure that the news was not leaked, the other party wanted to kill all of us who knew the real information.

"I didn't want to die just with the crime on my back, so I escaped by the negligence of the guards, and escaped into the Taihang Mountains with the familiarity of the scouts with the surrounding terrain and roads for many years. I didn't want to, but they refused to let me go, and immediately sent people to chase and kill, and Xue Changqing also led people to find those thieves who were entrenched in the mountains, and wanted to borrow their knives to deal with me......"

"Wait!" It was only at this time that Lu Zhen interrupted his speech, and said with a solemn expression: "You said that Xue Changqing of the Thousand Households actually colluded with those thieves in the mountains in order to hunt you down?" Is this exact? ”

"This is what I asked from the mouths of those thieves when I set a trap against them, and it should not be false. It is precisely because of these thieves who obstruct the pursuit in every possible way that the villain hides in the mountains for nearly a month. As a result, when I finally escaped back to Shandong, I found that ......" said this, his eyes were red, and he was a little speechless.

Lu Jin fell into deep thought. From the other party's narration, he can be regarded as clarifying his thoughts. This is completely a tragedy caused by Shi Heng in order to seize the military power of Datong and deal with Hu Sui. Originally, the Yao Gan in front of him was just a chess piece that could be eliminated at any time, but because of his own ability, he made things out of control, not only pulling the thieves in Taihang Mountain, but also causing countless innocent people in Huangyan and Linshan towns to die tragically!

And if what he said was true, then Lu Zhen could already be sure that Xue Changqing and Shi Heng behind him were also to blame for the tragic killing of the people in the two towns. Even if it seems that this incident is indeed the work of the thieves, it is their selfishness that leads to all this.

"Please also ask your lord to make decisions for me, and administer justice for more than a thousand people in my Huangyan Town!" After being stunned for a long time, Yao Gan got up and knelt down, kowtowing to Lu Zhen again.

Even Qingle, who was listening from the sidelines, also looked at Lu Zhen expectantly because of anger at this time: "My lord, ......"

Lu Zhen came back to his senses at this time, quickly got up and stepped forward, and helped the person up: "You get up first." This time, it was the people under the rule of this official who died tragically for no reason, and I, as the governor of Shandong, naturally have an unshirkable responsibility. Even if you don't come to ask for it, this official will definitely take the real murderer and give them justice! ”

"Thank you, sir!" Seeing that Lu Zhen responded, Yao Gan was excited, and it was only because the governor was still supporting him that he did not forcibly kneel down and kowtow again.

"However, this matter is still not easy to start...... Lu Zhen frowned again and said: "You may not know it, in fact, not only the officials, but also other local officials in Shandong have long been interested in arresting the murderers." It's only because those thieves are hiding in the mountains that we can't do anything about them. You've just come out of the mountains, so you should know very well how unfavorable the terrain is for the government to take people.

"And if you want to give justice to you and the victims, you must first capture these thieves alive, and either take Xue Changqing on the spot, or get the testimony of Xue Changqing colluding with them to kill innocent people from these thieves, otherwise it will be difficult to convict them......"

"The villain understands, I am willing to help the adults find those thieves who killed a thousand knives and avenge my relatives and friends!" From Lu Jin's words, Yao Gan had already heard the sound of the strings, and immediately said: "I am quite familiar with the terrain around the Taihang Mountain, and I have also forced some of their nests from those guys before. As long as they are there, I will be able to lead the way for the officers and soldiers and destroy them! ”

This was exactly the answer Lu Jin wanted, and he immediately nodded: "Then it's decided." But in order to make sure that what you say is true, the official must send someone to keep an eye on you, so are you willing to suffer this grievance? ”

"As long as you can avenge your relatives in the town, this is a grievance."

"Good. Qingler, from today onwards, you follow him, don't let him out of your sight. Lu Zhen turned his head to look at Qingge on the side and ordered. He is surrounded by martial arts and resourcefulness, so Qingle has the ability to keep an eye on this scout-born expert.

Qinggel did not refuse, and immediately agreed with his fists.

"In this way, you two will rest in Jinan City for two more days and get ready. Early the morning after tomorrow, I rushed to Cao County with my military order to support the officers and troops there and sweep away those thieves hiding in the mountains! ”

"Subordinates obey." After the two of them hugged their fists and agreed, they exited the room one after another.

And after the two left, Lu Zhen fell into contemplation again.

For Shi Heng, Lu Zhen has always been hostile, and he once thought that one day there would be a fight between the two. What I didn't expect was that this day would come so early. But that's okay, if you can completely defeat Shi Heng with this big case this time, it will be one less hidden danger. If there was no such general who could lead the troops, the earth-changing change would probably end in failure.

Shanxi Datong City, Shiheng Mansion.

Shi Hou Ye was holding a letter in his hand, and his face at this time was extremely gloomy and ugly: "Xue Changqing, this waste, let him do something, he actually poked out such a big basket for me." If it weren't for the fact that he was the first general to surrender to me, I would have slashed him with a knife! ”

"Hou Ye is angry...... "The strategist Sun Xu next to him hurriedly spoke and persuaded him: "It's not worth making a big fuss about this little thing. ”

"A trifle? It was a big case of thousands of people, and if people found out that this matter had something to do with me, even if His Majesty wanted to protect me, he wouldn't be able to protect me! Shi Heng snorted angrily, he was still a little self-aware, and he knew how serious this matter was.

"In this matter, Xue Qianhu is indeed ineffective, but the matter has come to this point, and it is useless to complain. The top priority is to ensure that this matter does not implicate Hou Ye. ”

"This ...... Easier said than done. Shandong, over there, will definitely do its best to solve the case. ”

"So I thought that Hou Ye had to make a move as soon as possible and take the people into his own hands before he got hold of Shandong side." Sun Xu said, leaned closer again, lowered his voice and said, "Actually, I feel that this incident may be a good thing." ”

"A good thing? What do you mean by that? ”

"Maybe this is a great opportunity for Master Hou to completely pull out the thorn in Hu Sui's side." As he spoke, he whispered his thoughts.

And after listening to his explanation, the anger on Shi Heng's face really fell, and instead of it, it became a hint of gloomy smile: "This is a good idea to make up for the dead!" ”
