When Yang Chen walked out of the pawnshop, it was already dark, and the gate of Taiyuan City had been closed, even if he wanted to return to Biguan County at night. In desperation, Yang Chen had to find a small inn nearby to live in.

After eating a bowl of soup cakes to satisfy his hunger, and sending the inn guys away, Yang Chen bolted the door and came to the cotton clothes with the collar on the bed with an oil lamp. After carefully examining the lamp for a while, he didn't find anything, this is a thick jacket that is no different from the cotton clothes used by ordinary people to keep out the cold, and he can't see anything special.

However, Yang Chen believed that Chen Zhigao would never take such a cotton coat to Taiyuan City for no reason to pawn. What's more, this happened a few days before he was killed, which is even more worthy of thought.

Since you can't see anything wrong on the surface, let's check the inside. Turning his mind, he reached out again and pinched it carefully, from the collar down, not daring to relax in every inch. Finally, it didn't take much effort, when he pinched the hem of the clothes, Yang Chen obviously felt that it was thicker than elsewhere, and when he touched it carefully, he found that it was still a little hard.

"This is it!" Yang Chen's heart suddenly moved, he grabbed both sides of the hem with both hands, and with a sharp force, he ripped the cotton clothes apart. The cotton wool flew out in response, and at the same time, a piece of light paper was also brought out, and he caught it with a quick hand.

Throwing the torn cotton clothes on the bed, Yang Chen immediately paid attention to the hard-earned piece of paper, and read it carefully under the light: "Outside the Guan, the pine forest in the northwest, ten in the east and thirty-three in the north." "There are ten words on this piece of paper.

But Yang Chen was only stunned for a moment, and then showed a knowing smile: "This Chen Zhigao is very cautious, not only dividing the pawn ticket in half, but also setting up an extra guarantee, it seems that what he has hidden is indeed very important." After remembering the cross, he brought the note in his hand close to the oil lamp, and in a few moments the piece of paper, which had been obtained with great difficulty, was reduced to ashes.

Now, he is the only one in the world who knows the truth of this matter.

And in this way, Yang Chen put his mind at ease, and after cleaning up a little, he fell asleep on the bed.

There was nothing to do all night, the sky was slightly bright, Yang Chen had woken up, and after quickly sorting out the lower bag, he would leave the inn, and then rode straight out of Taiyuan, and then went to Biguan County.

————

When Yang Chen galloped all the way back to Biguan County, the time had come to the afternoon again, and the sun had gradually sunk in the west, but it didn't matter, anyway, all the mysteries could be solved tomorrow when he went to the pine forest outside the gate to find what Chen Zhigao left behind.

So when Yang Chen came to the post station and led the horse to find a familiar post guard to return the horse, he still had a confident smile on his face: "Old Li Tou, your horse is really good, I will tell the county commander, and I will promote you at that time." ”

"The fourth master is back...... Lao Li Tou saw him busy stepping forward to salute, and his face was full of smiles: "That little one will thank you for lifting up." ”

The two were chatting, but one of them walked out of the post station: "Did the fourth master come back from Taiyuan so quickly?" Is everything going well? ”

Yang Chen turned his head to look at him when he heard this, and then a friendly smile appeared on his face: "How could Li Xingshu be here?" "The one who came out of the beating was Li Xing, the warden of the county government torture room.

When the other party heard his question, he laughed: "Why, fourth master, you have been in my Biguan County for a while, don't you know this old Li Tou's unique skills?" ”

"Unique? What do you mean by that? Yang Chen asked a little puzzled.

In addition to raising horses, this old Li Tou is even more amazing for his skill in making wine. The wine he brewed is more delicious than the best Fenjiu in Shanxi, and many brothers in our county government often come here. ”

"It's just a few masters who show love, and the small ones are just carving insect skills." Lao Li Tou replied with a humble smile.

"I see, I'll try it when I have time." Yang Chen said casually.

Li Xing immediately answered: "Why wait for next time, today is the right time." Your Excellency, you have just come from afar, and we are just taking this thin wine to wash the dust for you. My lord, please come in and speak. As he spoke, he made a gesture of please.

Yang Chen saw that he looked expectant, and it was not easy to refuse to sweep away the other party's interest, so he nodded and said, "So it's bothering." ”

"It's a small honor to be able to invite adults to drink, but I haven't found a chance before." Li Xing hurriedly said modestly, and the two of them entered the small post station before and after, and sat on the edge of the table where the wine and food had already been arranged.

Yang Chen is also a person who loves wine and understands wine, and after just one glance, he found that the other party really didn't say big things. Although this wine is poured in a coarse porcelain bowl, it is amber, and you can clearly smell the strong aroma of the wine when you smell it, which is much stronger than the dry roast he drank before, and it is not much better than the local famous wine Fenjiu.

And after taking a sip, the long and long taste made Yang Chen's head even bigger, and he praised it sincerely: "Good wine." Old Li Tou, you're not right. If there is such a good thing, why didn't you tell me earlier? ”

Lao Litou, who was accompanying him, suddenly didn't know what to say, so he could only laugh. When Li Xing heard this, he filled another bowl for Yang Chen: "Since you think this wine is very wonderful, adults should drink a few more glasses." ”

"That's right." Yang Chen picked up the bowl, took another sip, and after tasting the taste, his ears moved slightly, and then he put most of the bowl of wine on the table, looked at the other party and said, "But before drinking, the official has one thing he wants to ask Li Xingshu." ”

Seeing his crystal bright eyes, Li Xing suddenly felt uneasy, as if his internal organs had been seen through by the person in front of him. After being stunned for a moment, he reluctantly smiled and said, "My lord, please speak." "I have raised my guard in my heart.

"You just mentioned that I came from Taiyuan, but I don't know how I knew about it?" Yang Chen stared at the other party for a moment and asked his own question.

This made Li Xing stunned for a moment, and then glanced at the old Li Tou beside him and said, "Naturally, I know the whereabouts of the adult from his mouth." ”

"Really? But when the official asked him for a horse yesterday, he never mentioned to him that he would go to Taiyuan, which is a little unreasonable. ”

"This ......" Li Xing finally changed color, and he didn't know how to speak for a while.

"In fact, in the entire Biguan County, only two people know my exact whereabouts, one is Huang Zhutou, but he has already been instructed by me and will not disclose the news. And the other one is the prefectural magistrate. Do you think Taizun will tell you where I am?

"Also, you say that you happened to appear in the inn because you were greedy for the good wine here, which makes sense. But how can there be only one person drinking? You can't be drinking friends with Lao Li, right? But it doesn't look like it just now! Moreover, you haven't taken a sip of wine until now, and you just try to persuade me, which really doesn't make sense. So I can only come to one conclusion, your Li Xingshu appeared here completely to wait for me! When he said this inference, Yang Chen's tone was already quite calm, and his body also leaned forward, with a posture that he would make a move at any time.

The pressure exuded from his body was not something that Li Xing could resist, which made him quickly stand up: "Yang Chen, what you said is right, I am indeed waiting here for you." Your incident happened, I can't imagine that you really dare to come back! When he said the latter sentence, he was already full of voice, and he looked like he wanted to take people.

"What happened to me? But what's the matter? Hearing him say this, Yang Chen was a little confused.

"Do you still want to play stupid and fool around at this point? Naturally, it was a bloody case in which you killed the Chen family! As he spoke, Li Xing pursed his lips and whistled violently.

As soon as the whistle sounded, dense footsteps sounded from all around the post station, and then Yang Chen found that dozens of county officials were surrounded. Even though he had noticed that someone was quietly leaning over when he was drinking just now, he didn't expect so many people to pop up at this time.

This change came too quickly, and what the other party said was so amazing that it made Yang Chen a little distracted for a short time: "What did you say?" What is the Chen family's murder case? ”

"Naturally, it is a big case of Chen Zhigao's family being killed. Yang Chen, at this time, you still want to deny it! Li Xing immediately shouted, "Come on, take him down for me!" ”

With this order, these servants who had already surrounded them suddenly shouted in a low voice, rushed into the door, and waved the iron chain towards Yang Chen's head and neck.

Even when he heard such shocking news suddenly, Yang Chen's reaction was still quite fast, and he immediately bowed his body, lowered his head, flashed this time, and shouted in his mouth: "How is this possible?" ”

"The corpses of the Chen family were found in Chen's house yesterday morning. According to the neighbors, only you and Huang Feng appeared there the day before yesterday. So who else could the murderer be besides you! Li Xingyi shouted solemnly: "Now that the evidence is there, you still want to resist arrest, and the crime is even more serious!" ”

"I'm not a murderer, there must be some misunderstanding in this!" Yang Chen tried his best to dodge the successive attacks of those messengers, and at the same time pleaded in his mouth: "If it was really me, since I had left Biguan County yesterday, why would I go back to the net today?" ”

"That's where your cunning comes in. Because you know the truth of Skynet's restoration, if you run away like this, you will definitely not be able to escape the law, so you came up with such a seemingly stupid method, and you want to use it to exonerate yourself. It's a pity that someone has already testified against you! Li Xing said conclusively.

And Yang Chen's heart was even tighter at this time, knowing that things had reached the point where it was difficult to clean up. If you continue to dodge and resist, it will only be more difficult to tell. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I won't resist." I'll go back to the county government with you and talk to the county lord! As soon as he stopped dodging, several chains were clattered around his neck, and several knives were raised.

Yang Chen was captured alive by a county official like this!
