Chapter 659 Bloody East Camp

Tang Miao checked very carefully, in fact, Tang Miao has always had his own set of criminal investigation techniques, which he completely figured out by himself, which is very different from Zhao Ding's literature. The brows were sometimes furrowed, sometimes stretched, and his fingers touched those wounds, constantly examining them, and almost every wound Tang Miao would examine it in detail. At this time, the room was dark and damp, exuding a special musty smell, everyone didn't say a word, only a faint wheezing, facing dozens of dead corpses, Rao is a battlefield warrior like Yang Zaixing, and he couldn't help but feel a little blocked in his heart. No one knows why Tang Miao still examines those wounds in detail, isn't the condition of the wounds all on the autopsy record?

After inspecting the front of the body, Tang Miao took a step back, rolled up his sleeves, and said expressionlessly, "Come on, turn the corpse over, stretch out your limbs, and lay it flat!" ”

Tang Miao is like this, he didn't take the county government in his eyes a little, he had already worked hard to examine the corpse before, didn't you General Tang play with people like this? Song Yungang's expression was also a little embarrassed, General Tang can't trust the Xianyang County Ya? Several officials hesitated a little, and they all went to see Song Yungang, but Song Yungang didn't dare to speak, only Yang Zaixing, his eyes were wide, and he said, "Why don't you go and help, you can afford to delay General Tang's investigation?" ”

The people of Xianyang County are not very cold to Tang Miao, after all, Tang Miao has a secret palm and does not often appear in front of people, and now General Tang has personally conducted an autopsy. The officials still thought that the Qin Wangfu was a small official of the Criminal Department. However, they didn't dare to be disrespectful to Yang Zaixing, as long as they followed Tang Miao's request with a bitter face. After turning the body around. There are good limbs. At this time, Yang Zaixing and Song Yungang also came up, only to see that there was an obvious wound under the right shoulder blade of the corpse, it seemed that it should be an old injury, Yang Zaixing had been on the battlefield for a long time, and could tell that this was an arrow wound, the wound was easy to identify, I didn't understand why Tang Miao looked so carefully, he even used a slender knife to peel off the wound.

The northern part of the body was not a wound. There are a few places, mostly on the back and calves, after looking at it for a long time, I didn't see anything abnormal, they are all old injuries, what use can it be? Yang Zaixing was puzzled, Tang Miao didn't explain much, he still checked the corpses one by one according to his own method, and only after inspecting more than a dozen corpses did he call the county magistrate over. "Are the other corpses similar to these corpses?"

"Back to my lord, the other corpses are not much like these. Most of them have a little old injury, and there are very few who don't have old injuries" After finishing speaking, Tang Miao's face became gloomy, he raised his eyebrows, and the corners of his mouth revealed a sneer. But when Tang Miao did this, he must have been really angry, Yang Zaixing knew something about Tang Miao, this master of the dark hall had always been moody and angry, and when he showed his anger on his face, something big must have happened.

After waving away, Tang Miao motioned for the idlers to withdraw, leaving only Song Yungang and Yang Zaixing, at this time, Yang Zaixing also felt that something was wrong, and asked in a low voice, "General Tang, did you find anything?" ”

"Of course there is, hehe" Tang Miao narrowed his eyes and said slowly in a very low tone, "General Yang, the one lying here is the soldier of my Dingguo Army"

"What?" Yang Zaixing's eyes widened, with a look of disbelief, how could it be, these are two hundred and thirty-nine corpses, that is to say, two hundred and thirty-nine soldiers of the Dingguo Army, more than two hundred, that is two small pairs, who can kill so many people quietly? How many years, the Dingguo Army has fought in the south and the north, and has experienced no less than 100 bloody battles, it can be said that now the Guanzhong Dingguo Army is brave and extraordinary, not to mention 239 people, it is 39 people, and it is not so simple for others to eat silently in one breath. Yang Zaixing obviously didn't believe it, Song Yungang didn't believe it even more, there was no wild place near Xianyang, how could there be no movement at all if he wanted to kill more than 200 Dingguo soldiers?

Knowing that Yang Zaixing didn't believe it, Tang Miao walked up to a corpse, pulled up the corpse's left arm, pointed to the outside of his left arm and said in a dark voice, "General Yang, you can see for yourself, this person's left arm has calluses attached to the outside, and there is a slight collapse, which is much smoother than the outside of ordinary people's left arm." Looking at his left knee, he also has thick calluses, but his right knee does not, dare to ask General Yang, who will have this characteristic? Tang had already examined it, and among the corpses he had just examined, there were four corpses with similar characteristics. Hmph, can there be such characteristics, in the world, except for the shield hand of my Dingguo Army, is there anyone else? ”

Listening to Tang Miao's words, Yang Zaixing only felt that his scalp was numb, and a chill rose from his back. Yes, who would have this trait? Only the shield hand of the Dingguo Army, the shield of the Dingguo Army is high and thick, so the shield hand often has to pass the left arm through the handle on the shield, so that the left arm will be close to the inner wall of the shield, when the enemy collides rapidly, the arm will bear a huge impact force, after a long time, under the friction of the outside of the arm, it will form calluses, due to the long-term squeezing relationship, it will also be much smoother than ordinary people, as for the left knee has calluses, the right knee does not, it is also easy to figure out, whenever against the cavalry, the shield hand has to squat, With their bodies propped up on their shields, most people will land on their left knee.

Yang Zaixing was still thinking about it, but Tang Miao continued, "General Yang, come and see, this arrow wound looks no different from an ordinary wound on the outside, but you look at the shape of the wound inside, although it is scarred, the flesh still has traces of pulling, so this kind of arrow wound is definitely not caused by the wolf tooth arrows used by the Dingguo Army and the feather arrows of the imperial court specifications, compared to this kind of arrow, there must be a little barb, and this kind of barbed feather arrow is also used by the Liao people." According to the wound calculation, it should be three years, and the war between my Great Song Dynasty and the Liao people is also the third year of Xuanhe, especially under the city of Wuzhou, I Dingguo Army fought a bloody battle of more than 100,000 troops in Xijing, if Tang is expected to be good, this arrow wound should be left over from the Wuzhou War. Look at it again, this person has a knife wound on the chest, the knife is deep and narrow, and the scar is only half a year away, this kind of wound is more like the long-handled knife left by the Tangut people. Looking at the various characteristics, Tang can conclude that it is not only a Dingguo soldier who is lying here now, but also a veteran of a hundred battles who has experienced the Battle of Wuzhou and the conquest of Western Xia! ”

Yang Zaixing's body shook, and a little mist appeared in the tiger's eyes. He shouted with his hands outstretched. "Say no more!" Yang Zaixing didn't want to listen to it anymore. Because he had already believed what Tang Miao said, he had experienced the Battle of Wuzhou and participated in the war to conquer Western Xia, so he could be said to be a veteran soldier of the Dingguo Army, but such a veteran did not die on the battlefield, but died outside Xianyang City, the hinterland of Guanzhong. Yang Zaixing is an out-and-out battlefield warrior, who has been with Zhao Yougong for a long time, and he knows very well that if His Royal Highness knows about this. How angry it will be. frowned, and grabbed Song Yungang's robe, "Song Zhixian, don't tell General Sù, you don't know anything about things here!" ”

Song Yungang was frightened, he never thought that the elegant-faced General Yang would be so terrifying when he launched a fire, if Tang Miao was a poisonous snake, then General Yang was a fierce tiger, Song Yungang hurriedly waved his hand and said in a trembling voice. "General Yang, Song really doesn't know about this. If he knew, Song would not dare to hide it even if he had a hundred guts! ”

Tang Miao pressed Yang Zaixing's shoulder and shook his head vigorously, "General Yang, let go of Song Zhixian, I believe he doesn't know anything about things here, if he knew, he would have run away a long time ago, and he wouldn't stay here and wait for death." ”

Yang Zaixing was just angry, not really stupid, after calming down, he let go of Song Yungang, and then hummed with an unkind face, "Song Zhixian, just now it is not right, I hope to take care of the offended." However, I hope that Song Zhixian will do his best to investigate this matter, in short, I am sure that the soldiers of the national army cannot die in vain, and if they can't find the murderer, they will take some waste to pay tribute to these brothers. ”

Hiss, Song Yungang gasped, he could read the fierceness in Yang Zaixing's eyes, if he couldn't find out the case, Yang Zaixing would definitely kill some people to vent, and His Royal Highness wouldn't necessarily care, who didn't know that Yang someone was His Highness's close confidant and close minister, and he was like a brother. Hey, why is he Song Yungang so unlucky, in fact, Song Yungang is not a fool, he understands why Tang Miao wants to help, that is, he wants him to thoroughly investigate the Xianyang officials. Hmph, there will be nothing abnormal at all when such a big event happens? Presumably someone must have discovered something, but it was covered by someone, and who can do this, except for the officials of Xianyang County, can there be anyone else?

After Song Yungang left in a panic, Tang Miao asked with a calm brow, "General Yang, you tell Tang the truth, has I moved the national army recently?" ”

In fact, the division of labor in the Dingguo army system is very clear, Zhang Yi grasps government affairs, Xiao Zhiyun, Dongfang Jin, Niu Gao, and Han Shizhong hold the military power, Zhu Lian and His Royal Highness Zhao coordinate and dispatch, and the dark hall and intelligence department belong to Cui Niannu and Tang Miao, in short, the dark hall must not interfere in military affairs, so some military dispatches, Tang Miao, the spy leader, is not very clear. Yang Zaixing frowned, and looked at Tang Miao with some hesitation, "General Tang, this matter is related to our army scheduling?" ”

"General Yang, don't you think it's strange? Why did more than 200 officers and men of our army suddenly die, but no one cared? You can think about it, if it is a soldier stationed near Xianyang, even if they live in the barracks all the year round, they always have to interact with the county government, and it is impossible that no one in the county government knows anyone. Therefore, Tang judged that these more than 200 people should have been transferred to the vicinity of Xianyang recently, so he asked General Yang if there was any transfer arrangement. ”

Yang Zaixing was also reminiscing about what Tang Miao said, and slowly felt that Tang Miao's analysis was very reasonable, although it was said that the county government garrison was not under the jurisdiction of the county government, but the military camp baggage still had to be supplied by the county government, so some contacts between the two sides could not be avoided, and it was impossible for the county officials not to know them. Could it really be as Tang Miao said, he was just transferred to the vicinity of Xianyang? Suddenly, Yang Zaixing remembered something, he frowned, and said with some horror, "After deciding to hold a sacrificial ceremony in Xianyang a month ago, General Niu issued an order to transfer a thousand men and horses from the northern camp to be stationed near Xianyang to ensure the safety of His Royal Highness, could it be that the brothers here are from the northern camp?" ”

Listening to what Yang Zaixing said, Tang Miao's heart was cold, there was really a move, even Tang Miao couldn't calm down a little now, he hurriedly walked out, "General Yang, take Tang to the army station, I'm afraid something big will happen!" ”

In fact, there is no need for Tang Miao to say, Yang Zaixing also understands that if something goes wrong with the newly transferred soldiers of the Zhengbei Battalion, it will be dangerous, because His Royal Highness has a lot of trust in the Zhengbei Battalion, and he would never think that there is a problem with the Zhengbei Battalion. But now that the matter has not been decided, Yang Zaixing does not dare to draw conclusions arbitrarily, is there a problem with directly suing His Royal Highness Sù's brother in the northern camp? In desperation, Yang Zaixing could only lead more than a dozen guards to run out of Xianyang City with Tang Miao.

A thousand soldiers and horses of the northern battalion were stationed in Xianyang, not in a camp, and completely surrounded Xianyang City from the east, west, north and south. In order to ensure that there will be no accidents during the festival. So. Yang Zaixing could only patrol one camp at a time. When I arrived at the camp in the north of the city, it was already the beginning of the year, and I heard that Yang Zaixing personally came to inspect, and the head of the north camp was temporarily assembled, and Yang Zaixing checked them one by one, checking the roster, and there were many people, including some veterans who had met. There was no problem with Beidaying, and he went to Dongdaying again. The East Camp is a little far away from the North Camp, and when I came here, the sky was already dark, and as soon as I entered the East Camp, the soldiers guarding the camp gate hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "The little one has seen General Yang!" ”

Yang Zaixing nodded and hit the horse to enter the camp, but suddenly stopped the horse again, because he saw that Tang Miao had already clenched the hilt of his sword. In fact, Yang Zaixing also had a little aftertaste at this time, he was not familiar with the soldiers of the northern camp, how did these two gatekeepers know that he would come. He also opened his mouth to call General Yang, as if he was waiting here. And. According to the rules of the Dingguo Army, that is, the general patrols, and he must also show his waist card to be released, but now it is good, these two people just bowed and let go of the camp gate. Although Yang Zaixing rarely stationed troops abroad, he still knows the military regulations of the Dingguo Army very well, and without a waist card, even if General Niu and General Han come in person, they can't be released, because some military camps have special missions, such as Ling Zhen's artillery camp, and the research of the Firearms Bureau, but except for the Qin Wangfu token, no one is allowed to enter and leave casually.

Looking at the two guards in front of the door, Yang Zaixing narrowed his eyes and asked with a smile, "Who are your heads, let him come out to see the general, something strange happened on the Remnant Wind Slope, and you will quickly gather troops to go to the Remnant Wind Slope with the general." ”

After Yang Zaixing finished speaking, he paid attention to the two soldiers, although the two tried their best to hide it, they still saw the panic in the eyes of the two, so Yang Zaixing also concluded that there was something wrong with the East Battalion, and immediately pulled out the silver spear immediately, and directly pressed against the back of a soldier, "Say, who are you, why do you want to pretend to be the soldiers of my North Battalion, have the soldiers in the battalion been killed by you?" ”

Yang Zaixing suddenly made a move, and the two of them didn't expect it, one of them was frightened, and he knelt on the ground, "General Yang, what are you talking about, the brothers in the camp are alive and well, General Yang must not listen to other people's nonsense, if the general doesn't believe it, he can go into the camp to inspect, and the small ones must have half a sentence of nonsense."

"Bah, shut up for Ben General" Yang Zaixing was angry, and interrupted this person impatiently, "I dare to quibble, I am sure that the soldiers of the national army, each of them are good men who stand up to the sky, their bodies can die, and their knees are not bent, will there be a bad breed like you?" Let Ben General enter the camp, I'm afraid you have prepared a plate of good dishes to greet Ben General! ”

While Yang Zaixing restrained the two gatekeepers, Tang Miao was also carefully observing the entire Dongda camp, and based on his experience, he could conclude that this barracks was almost empty. Suddenly, Tang Miao remembered something, he approached Yang Zaixing, and asked in a low voice, "General Yang, His Highness inspected the Grand Canal today, which battalion is responsible for opening the road ahead?" ”

Well? Yang Zaixing froze suddenly, because he remembered it now, it should be a team of soldiers and horses from the North Camp to lead the way, could it be someone from the East Battalion? It's not good, something big is going to happen, Yang Zaixing didn't have time to think about it anymore, he raised his hand to stab the person to death, at this time, the mutation protruded, and I saw that the thin soldier who was kneeling on the ground and trembling all over his body twisted his body and withdrew like a spiritual snake, and the other person also jumped out of a distance, pulled out his saber and whistled, and then dozens of black-clothed masked killers rushed out of the barracks, and surrounded Yang Zaixing, Tang Miao and more than a dozen guards in the middle in the blink of an eye.

When the thin soldier used that strange light skill, Tang Miao's pupils shrank, and he laughed coldly, "Who else should it be, it turned out to be the fifth son of Shuzhong, General Yang, please return to Xianyang quickly, and leave it to Tang and the brothers to deal with here!" ”

Tang Miao said so, that is, to the queen of the palace, at this critical moment, Yang Zaixing did not hesitate, now His Royal Highness does not know how dangerous the situation is, and he must rush back to Chang'an to report the news, so he must rush out alive today. On this kind of fighting in the rivers and lakes, Tang Miao is even more adept, nodding, Yang Zaixing beat his horse and retreated, "You must protect General Tang!" ”

More than a dozen soldiers of the Ruifeng battalion pulled out their sabers and surrounded Tang Miao, while Yang Zaixing took advantage of the unstable foothold of the man in black, sprinted his horse, and directly cut a gap, and after running out, Yang Zaixing did not look back, and ran directly to Xianyang City. He believed that Tang Miao would definitely be able to stop the man in black, and he could only choose to believe Tang Miao.

Seeing that Yang Zaixing was about to escape, Sun Lao Wu suddenly became anxious, and the pavilion master had worked hard to set up a clever plan. If Yang Zaixing escapes. The whole plan was ruined. "Quick, stop Yang Zaixing"

Tang Miao pursed her lips and smiled, fortunately, this Yang Shaolie reacted quickly enough, and he didn't drag mud and water, if he inked for a while, waiting for the man in black to stabilize, it would not be so easy to escape. Several black-clothed people wanted to chase Yang Zaixing, but Tang Miao patted the horse's back. The body rose into the air, and with a flick of his left hand, the scabbard flew like a sharp arrow, nailed to the back of a man in black, and immediately spitted blood from the man's mouth. The body flew over like a big bird, and landed directly in front of several black-clothed people, Tang Miao held the long sword obliquely, his face was like water, "If you want to catch up with Yang Shaolie, first ask the sword in Tang's hand." Hmph, Sun Lao Wu. Tang really didn't expect that the person in charge of Tielei Castle in Shuzhong would be the lackey of Tingyu Pavilion. ”

Sun Laowu's real name is Sun Duolei, and he is the lord of the Iron Thunder Fort in Shuzhong, which is second only to the Jin family in Shuzhong, and it can be regarded as a big family in the rivers and lakes. It is said that this Sun Lao Wu's light skills are weird, and the one-handed spiritual snake skill is even more of a great law of escape, but this Sun Duolei has a bold personality and unparalleled righteousness, and he is a good man in the city, who would have thought that this Sun Duolei is also a person who listens to the Rain Pavilion. Now Tang Miao is becoming more and more jealous of Tingyu Pavilion, and he feels more and more that His Royal Highness is bent on exterminating Tingyu Pavilion, even Shuzhong Tielei Fort is the power of Tingyu Pavilion, how many forces are there in the secret of Tingyu Pavilion?

"Hmph, who is Sun doing things for, don't worry about you General Tang, today Zhao will definitely die, if General Tang knows each other, he can return to my pavilion master, my pavilion master is eloquent, and he will definitely let General Tang show his ambitions!"

Tang Miao smiled slightly, the corners of her mouth were full of sarcasm, "Sun Lao Wu, do you think Tang is you?" His Royal Highness has the grace of knowing Tang, how can Tang betray him, today is just death, if you don't want to die, come! ”

Today must be a vicious battle, Tang Miao knows this very well, others have laid a net, how can it be a joke, but fortunately did not break into the barracks, if you enter the barracks, the situation at this time will be even worse. More than a dozen soldiers of the Ruifeng Battalion beat their horses to protect Tang Miao, their faces were resolute, they clenched the Tang knife, and they did not have the slightest intention of retreating. Tang Miao is not a bold person, he is cold by nature and unsociable, but at this time, he suddenly has infinite pride, "Brothers, Sui and Tang died together, do you feel that you have a loss?" ”

"Ruifeng Battalion, the man who will die, never retreat, we are willing to live and die together, kill!" More than a dozen soldiers raised their Tang swords and stared angrily, and the shout pierced the sky, and the momentum was majestic, as if there was a hundred-man cavalry standing there.

Sun Lao Wu was also admired, he really deserved to be the most elite Ruifeng Battalion soldier of the Dingguo Army, raised his hand, and his voice was like a hellish netherworld, "Let's go up together, kill them!" ”

All the men in black gathered around, and suddenly the two sides were entangled together, these soldiers of the Ruifeng battalion were absolutely brave and extraordinary, but their bravery was only suitable for fighting in battle, and it was not very useful in the face of these good players in the rivers and lakes, but it was Tang Miao, who faced Sun Lao Wu and six or seven men in black alone, and still did not fall behind. Sun Lao Wu was anxious, he didn't expect this Tang Miao to be so difficult, not to mention the purity of swordsmanship, even the light skills are so good.

Tang Miao could resist it, but more than a dozen Ruifeng battalion soldiers couldn't, looking at the resistance for nearly a quarter of an hour, because of the disadvantage in numbers, they were still dominated by the men in black, and soon several soldiers died in the hands of the men in black, and almost everyone in the rest was injured. Tang Miao was in a hurry, seeing that another soldier had died, he forced one person away, carried a light skill and rushed over, repelled a man in black, and got off the soldier. Now the situation is very clear, as long as it takes another half an hour, Tang Miao and the others will all be buried here. Just as Tang Miao was thinking about how to retreat, the soldier suddenly turned over and dismounted, and arched his hand, "General Tang, please get on the horse!" ”

"Why?"

Tang Miao was extremely smart, and he was also a little stunned at this time, the soldier did not answer, but ordered, "Brothers, kill the horses!" ”

Under an order, those surviving soldiers did not hesitate to swing their knives and slash at the necks of the war horses, and in an instant, more than a dozen war horses fell to the ground one after another, and outside the entire Dongda Battalion, only the horses beside Tang Miao were still safe and sound. At this time, Tang Miao understood that these soldiers had to make the last resistance, giving him a chance to escape for someone Tang. Tang Miao only saved people in his life, never let people save him, he didn't want to owe favors, whether he was arrogant or withdrawn, but at this time, Tang Miao's eyes were a little moist, he gritted his teeth, and immediately got on the war horse, he had to get out alive, and he couldn't let these brothers die in vain.

"General Tang leave quickly, please tell my family General Yang, the brothers did not disappoint him!"

One qiē only originated from Yang Zaixing's words, so these Ruifeng battalion soldiers wanted to keep Tang Miao alive. (To be continued......) R1292
