Chapter Forty-Eight, The Mysterious Man Behind the Scenes
It's no wonder that their faces can get better.
If one of these Dao knives was really one of the knives used by the soldiers of the guard, why did they fall into the hands of this thief.
You must know that this kind of knife was uniformly built by the workshop under the Ministry of Industry and delivered to the Ministry of War.
They are numbered on them, and when they are issued, they will be sent to the corresponding guards and the corresponding soldiers.
It should all be registered and documented.
But now this weapon appeared in the tunnel under the Mei family's Zhuangzi, which made them think about it without thinking about it.
Besides, what happened to the nearby guards, they rarely interacted with each other on weekdays.
If these weapons were weapons that might be used by the soldiers of the guard, then the identity of these men in black was not the dead soldiers or family members they thought they had raised, but the soldiers of the guard?
For a while, Xia Xunjian and Fang Zhutou thought a lot, and they also felt that this matter was a bit serious, and it was not for them to decide.
After the two glanced at each other, Xia Inspector immediately spoke: "Virtuous nephew, what happened in this Mei family's Zhuangzi is so important, we need to inform Lord Liang and the county magistrate of this matter as soon as possible, and ask them to decide, if you have any ideas, please inform them in advance." ”
"Uncle Xia is too polite. The kid also thinks that it is the right way to inform Lord Liang of Jinyi Wei Baihu and the county magistrate as soon as possible.
And since those black-clothed thieves appeared in the Mei family's Zhuangzi, they must have nothing to do with the Mei family's son, and the boy has to ask his father again to see what the father's relationship with this matter is that he was framed for murder. ”
When Shen Mu heard Xia and Fang say that this knife was very similar to the knife used by the soldiers in the guard, he also felt that the case was further complicated.
In modern times, he only knows the Ming Dynasty Guard, which is an important part of the Ming Dynasty army system, which was established by Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty.
Generally, several prefectures will have a health center, and there are thousands of households and hundreds of households under the health center.
The chief officer of the guard is the commander, and the chief officer of the guard is thousands of households, and each guard seems to belong to the command department of each province, and it is under the jurisdiction of the governor's office of the five armies.
In addition, the military positions under the hundred households should also have general flags, small flags and ordinary soldiers.
But in the end, what is the establishment of each guard, he has no concept in his heart, only knows that in the later period of the Ming Dynasty's guard, the main function of the soldiers became Tuntian, and only a small part was stationed, and by the end of the Ming Dynasty, Tuntian basically became the private field of officers, and a large number of sergeants lived in hardship.
Some even participated in the peasant uprising at the end of the Ming Dynasty, which completely shook the foundation of the Ming Dynasty.
Now it's only the middle of the Ming Dynasty, and I don't know what the living conditions of the soldiers in the guard post are, but it involves the affairs of the first army, which is not something that his identity can mix.
Regarding the case of Mei Gongzi's murder, he could only think of taking advantage of the situation and trying to help Shen's father clear the suspicion as soon as possible.
As for other things, it depends on what the brocade guard will think.
He believes that Jinyi guards are not only ubiquitous among the people, but also should be planted in the guards.
Of course, he felt that although the weapons held by those men in black were the standard weapons of the guard, it was doubtful whether they were the soldiers of the guard.
But whether it is or not, these people are just chess pieces, not masterminds, and he feels that the focus is still on the mysterious person who lives on Mei Gongzi Zhuangzi.
What kind of basis did this mysterious person have to dare to attack Jinyiwei.
And what secrets did Tsing Yi Jinyi Wei know before he was hunted down by this mysterious person?
Thinking of the secret, he couldn't help but think of the trust that he had forgotten.
Before he died, the Tsing Yi Jinyi guard asked him to send a bag of things to the T-shaped room of the Qingshan Inn in the county seat to the merchant surnamed Li.
But the merchant surnamed Li is dead? Until now, he has not been sure about the identity of this merchant surnamed Li, whether the other party is from Jinyi Weizhong.
That mysterious person was able to plan the assassination of Tsing Yi Jinyi Wei and the poisoning of the merchant surnamed Li almost at the same time, which shows that this person is thoughtful and good at planning.
Afterwards, he killed the master and servant of Feng Damei's son, as well as everyone in the Mei family's Zhuangzi, which shows that this person is ruthless and has no kindness for a woman.
It should be a tricky opponent.
But this person shouldn't have been, and Father Shen shouldn't have been involved, so let's have a showdown.
The mysterious man seemed to have erased many clues, but left many more clues.
Now he should go home and find out the bag to see what was in it and if he could find any new clues.
Thinking of this, his heart suddenly sank, the bureau he set up at the beginning, he thought that it could attract the attention of Jinyiwei, but if the bag of things left by Jinyiwei in Tsing Yi was so important, would the mysterious person also cast suspicious eyes on him and guessed that this thing fell into his hands?
Could it be that the other party has not left Taiping County, but is still paying attention to the further development of the situation?
It seems that I still have to make some preparations in advance.
……
After returning to the county seat, Xia Patrol and Fang Zhutou were going to resume their lives.
After Fang Zhutou returned to the county office, he heard the brother who guarded the door say that the Lord Liang of the Jinyi Guard had gone to the county post house to rest.
Now there are only four other giants left in the county government: Wang Xianling, Hu Xiancheng, Liu Zhushu, and Meng Dianshi.
Among these four people, Liu Zhubo has a high-minded attitude, who made him responsible for the main thing in the county's money and food.
And Meng Dianshi felt that there were so many thieves in Taiping County, mainly because of the responsibility of the Xia Patrol, and he was only in charge of the prison on weekdays, but now he just asked Boss Shen in the prison not to have an accident.
There are no other things in the county order, what can he do with a little canonical history?
Even if the board on it is knocked down, it is still a high official position.
Only Hu Xiancheng looked indignant.
Originally, this Hu County Cheng had been a county magistrate for two terms in Taiping County, and he finally got rid of the previous county magistrate, and was planning to find someone to carry out activities and take the position of the county magistrate.
Who knew that before he could do his activities properly, the county order of Wang County was sent from above, which made half of the results of his activities go down the drain and lost a lot of money.
He already has a grudge against Wang Xianling in his heart, and he also loves Yang and Yin in some major matters on weekdays, but this Wang County Order is not too old to look at his age, but this city government and means are still there, so he can't take advantage of anything.
In the past few years, Taiping County has been relatively calm, so he can't make any splashes.
But now, so many people have died in Taiping County at once, including a Jinyi Wei General Banner and a Jinyi Wei secret agent, as well as Mei Gongzi, the nephew of his wife's cousin's family.
Although he and the Mei family are only relatives who have turned a few corners, they have also heard that the old lady of the Mei family is very fond of this little grandson.
Now that this little grandson has died in Taiping County, Master Mei is a dutiful son, how can he give up.
As for the bet that the boy of the Shen family made with Liang Baihu, in his opinion, this kid of the Shen family is looking for death by himself.
Whether the Shen family's father and son die or not, he doesn't care much, and he doesn't really want to get any justice for the death of Mei Gongzi, but through this matter, it is best to get Wang Xianling down.
