That's right, why didn't I pay attention to this detail in the first place, and let such an important person slip past in front of me. Now that I think about it carefully, what Chen mentioned in his mouth has a lot to do with Chen Zhigao, and his friend who is in the government is likely to be closely related to what he did before, filling his pockets and making loopholes in the city wall!

The more he thought about it, the more Yang Chen felt that his judgment was very reasonable. After all, it is difficult to cooperate with people who do not know each other well, and this is related to the lives of many people, once the news is leaked, whether it is Chen Zhigao, a businessman, or those local officials will inevitably be severely punished, and they must be sure enough to do it.

But why didn't I think of this layer at that time, and asked the Chen family which of Chen Zhigao's friends was in the county office? And now, even though some problems have been seen, all those who know have been eliminated, who else can they find out about the identity of this person?

After being stunned for a long time, Yang Chen let out a long sigh of some loss. It wasn't until Tana, who felt a little strange when she saw him come back to her senses and had been guarding the side, that she spoke: "Yang ...... Brother Yang, do you really see something here? Her big eyes were full of confusion, and she hadn't been able to see anything for a while.

Yang Chen nodded, casually told the other party some of the previous discoveries, and then said a little frustratedly: "Even if I see something, it actually doesn't help this case in any way, at least there are no clues that really guide me to investigate." ”

In fact, he had already expected such a result. After all, long ago, when Chen and the others were still alive, he came here to investigate and failed to find other clues, and now that time has passed, and all the people have been killed, it is naturally impossible to make new discoveries. However, this still made his heart heavy, once this road did not work, it would be even more difficult to confirm that there was a problem in the Eccentric Guancheng.

Tana didn't think so, after listening to this story, she looked at the man in front of her with admiration, and her impression of him became more and more profound. It turned out that he not only had extraordinary martial arts and courage, but even his mind was far better than those men on the grassland, which was not exactly what he hoped for...... Thinking of this, her face suddenly turned red, and she didn't dare to glance at the other party.

It's a pity that this affection was not noticed by Yang Chen, and he was concentrating on the case, so he didn't care about the expressions and thoughts of the girls around him at all, but continued to check and search in several rooms in Chen's house, expecting to find some clues that had been missed before.

But even if he searched carefully this time, he still found nothing. The only thing that can be confirmed is that the murderer really came here only to kill people this time, because many of the furnishings in this house are placed where they should be, and there is no sign of being turned over. At the same time, this also reflects a very important point - the county government officials also rushed through the investigation of this case, and without obtaining any conclusive evidence, they used the confession of one person to identify themselves as murderers.

"Looks like I'll have to find another way to do it somewhere else." Seeing that the sun had set in the west, and if he didn't go back, he was afraid that it would arouse the suspicion of the government, Yang Chen finally gave up, and climbed outside along the courtyard wall with Tana, and quietly walked out of the alley while there was no one, and pretended to wander around towards the pavilion.

After returning to the pavilion, naturally everything was normal, and other people also used the excuse of going out to go around in this small Pianguan County for a while, the purpose of which was naturally to find the whereabouts of that nobleman. However, their luck was on par with Yang Chen, and most of the day turned down, but there was still no progress.

For the next few days, they stayed in this small county town, looking around under various pretexts during the day, and did not rush back until the evening. But after this toss, almost no effect was received. On the defender's side, after seeing that these Mongolian people did not move much except that they were not very peaceful and liked to go out and hang out, they were a little lax in their eyesight.

And this is exactly what Yang Chen and the others hope to see. It's only when the people here let their guard down completely that something can really be done. For example, taking advantage of the dark moon and high windy night, sneak out of the pavilion to meet some people who shouldn't have been seen.

————

At the beginning of October, it was already quite chilly, especially after nightfall, as soon as the north wind blew, it could not stop, and the whining wind filled the streets and alleys, so that the soldiers and civilians in the city just wanted to hide in the house and not come out. Therefore, in such a season, the curfew decree set by Biguan County seems to be a bit redundant. Even the soldiers who were supposed to patrol at night were lazy and hid in a barracks somewhere to sleep at this time.

But tonight, someone took advantage of the late night to start acting. He darted down the empty streets, turning every corner familiarly, and hiding in the shadows before a guard came from afar, so that he would not be discovered.

After walking in the dark for a long time, he finally came to a building. If someone who thinks he is a thief follows him here, and sees the plaque in front of the building he wants to enter, he will definitely think that he is dazzled - because the long plaque is inscribed with four big characters "Biguan County Ya"!

A thief and bandit actually dared to hit the head of the official yamen? This person is either bold or crazy!

But this person in front of him was really coming towards the yamen, only to see him stop in front of the yamen for a while, and after making sure that no one was near, he rushed towards the half-foot high brick wall, and when he came to the front and back, his body was suddenly pulled up, and then he kicked forward, and he reached out to climb up, just hooking the top of the wall. Then he pressed hard with his hand, and his body rose up with his strength, and he gently and skillfully flipped into the yamen from outside the wall.

After falling inside, his movements did not slow down, only rolled slightly, and after unloading the force of landing, he quickly identified the direction and touched in the direction of the back ya. Obviously, he is very familiar with everything about this partial county office, and he does not hesitate to go to the back office.

After a while, this person had come to a room with closed doors and windows, and at this time, there was still candlelight shining through, and a figure who was writing hard behind the case was cast on the window paper, and he was also stunned: "So late at night, is the county magistrate still busy with official business?" ”

This is really hard to believe, after all, this small county does not have much official business on weekdays, as the power has been divided by half of the garrison in the Guan, and the county officials such as the county chief book under his command have been divided into most of the county orders, it should be very idle on weekdays, and it should not be busy late at night.

In fact, Zhu Xuan, the county magistrate who is now writing something under the lamp, is indeed not busy with the official affairs in the yamen, but is recording what he sees and thinks during the day. This is a habit he has developed since he came to Biguan County, only in this way can he find out the things that he may have ignored during the day, and see some clues hidden behind it.

In addition, only by leaving this thing can he really feel at ease. Otherwise, if one day he was seen through by the people below and was poisoned by them, at least the old man could still find the evidence of those people's greed and evil through this record.

With this thought in his heart, Zhu Xuan waved his pen and wrote faster. Because lately, he has always felt that some people are moving more and more frequently, as if they are about to do something terrible.

Just as he was writing this, and the thoughts kept flashing in his head, there was a sudden beep outside the window. This is obviously not the movement that the wind can produce on the window paper, but someone is deliberately knocking on the window! This made Zhu Xianling's heartbeat suddenly fast, and the movements in his hands also stopped, and he raised his head suddenly: "What person?" As he spoke, his eyes were already looking straight ahead.

It's a pity that through the thick window paper and the dark night outside, he couldn't see anything at all. And because of the whirring wind, he couldn't even hear other movements clearly.

This situation made Zhu Xuan even more nervous in his heart, and quickly put away a few pieces of paper in front of him and put them in a dark compartment under the bookcase, then turned around and took out a long sword from the wall, and after drawing the sword out of the sheath, he cautiously came to the door, and slowly pulled out the latch, and then suddenly opened the door, the horizontal sword was in front of his chest, and he jumped out in one step, and shouted: "Who is outside?" ”

It's no wonder that he is so vigilant, but the atmosphere in the county government has been quite strange recently, and he always feels that something is going to happen, so he has such a reaction.

It was only at this time that a figure flashed out from behind the pillar next to him, bowed to Zhu Xuan and said, "The villain has seen the county lord." ”

"Who are you?" Finding that there was indeed an uninvited guest outside, and he was dressed as a night walker, Zhu Xuan became more and more vigilant, staring at the visitor with a pair of eyes and shouting: "Do you know that this is the county government, as long as the official shouts, there will be countless officials and soldiers to kill you and take you down!" ”

"There's no ill will towards adults.,I'm just here to talk to adults about something.。 The man was not afraid, and still said politely.

"Talk about things? What does this official have to talk about with you, a gentleman on the beam? Speaking of this, Zhu Xuan's expression suddenly changed, and his face showed a sudden expression: "It's you!" Yang Chen, you still dare to come back? Although the person opposite hid in the shadows and deliberately concealed his original tone when he spoke, he still couldn't escape the eyes and ears of Zhu Xianling, and the identity of this person was revealed at once.

This time, it was also greatly unexpected by Yang Chen, and the whole person was also stunned......
