"Should we use extraordinary means against the despicable?" Zhong Yu repeated what Yang Zhen said, but his eyes fell on the stack of silver tickets and house deeds on the table, and his face showed a slight look of surprise: "These Datong officials are really big!" Although he had mentioned to Yang Zhen before that someone would give him a lot of benefits, this benefit was really too great. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

At the same time, Zhong Yu was also moved by the fact that Yang Zhen was still firm in what he thought before when he got so many benefits, and he was not moved by the wealth, and he thought a little more highly of this young man. Because of this, Zhong Yu thought more about Yang Zhen: "Yang Qianhu, aren't you afraid that once they learn about your behavior, they will hate you to the bone?" ”

Yang Zhen's face was solemn, and he nodded: "I have naturally considered this, but as long as I act carefully, I am afraid that it will be too late for them to notice something." And do you think that if I don't accept their bribes, these people won't think about what to do with me? Since both horizontal and vertical will offend people, it is better to take their benefits, which can temporarily paralyze them for a while, so as to give us more time for our visit. ”

"There's some truth to that." Zhong Yu nodded, and then frowned again: "In the past two days, have you found any useful clues?" I didn't gain anything on the bright side. ”

Yang Zhen spread his hands and shook his head helplessly: "At least there is nothing to gain now, although I already know that the families of those rebellious troops were mostly in the Beicheng area in the past, but after inquiring, I found that those families have long been missing, so it is a little difficult to find out the cause of the mutiny from this side." ”

"What is missing, it is obviously taken by the government. Since they have to deal with the inspection of the imperial court, they will naturally be vigilant, and the families of those rebellious soldiers are a big problem, so they will naturally not let it go. Zhong Yu rubbed his eyebrows with some anxiety: "I just don't know how those family members will be treated, I hope they haven't lost their hearts enough to ...... them all."

"It's not that much, to kill so many people, firstly, they don't have the guts, and secondly, they don't have the chance, so adults don't have to worry. But I think they will keep these people in places where we can't find them, until we return in vain, and then dispose of these families and the captured rebels after we leave Datong. Yang Zhen deduced: "But even so, it is very unfavorable to us, except for this, I really can't think of other ways and clues to solve the current puzzle." Do you have any opinions? ”

"It's really not easy to find clues in Datong that are beyond what they said, but I believe they can't cover the sky with one hand, and there will always be a chance." Zhong Yu looked at Yang Zhen Zhengse and said, "It is precisely because things are difficult to do that you and I need to go all out." I will continue to look for opportunities in the officialdom, I don't believe that so many civil and military officials in Datong will collude with them, regardless of the imperial court system and justice; As for Yang Qianhu, you will continue to look for clues among the people in accordance with the established policy, and we can always find some flaws. ”

Yang Zhen nodded deeply. Both of them are stoic, and even if they see what kind of problem they have in front of them, they are still bent on breaking through this shady curtain. But the two of them didn't know that the difficulties they would encounter next would be much greater than they imagined.

Although Yang Zhen had accepted the "kindness" from the Datong government, he even said in front of Pan Pingfeng that he would help them persuade Zhong Yumo to keep entangled in this matter. But this did not affect him to continue to wander around Datong City, especially the area around Beicheng, and inquire about the news in the following days.

Even if Pan Pingfeng suddenly walked up to him at this time, pointed his nose and said that he was treacherous, Yang Zhen also had a good reason to explain - I was just ordered to act, and the words have already been brought to Lord Zhong, and he refuses to accept your arrangement. As for whether I'm going to get you in trouble by doing this? You can rest assured, I'm just taking it personally, and I won't really try my best to investigate. Of course, only he knows if he is really trying his best to investigate.

However, Yang Zhen was obviously a little redundant in his preparations, because in the next few days, although there were still people following him behind when he went out to check clues, no one stood up to reprimand him for his treachery, as if the other party had completely forgotten that he had made friends before.

At the beginning, Yang Zhen only said that the other party was forbearance and what he was waiting for. But after days of hard work to no avail, he knew that this was not the case, so those Datong officials did not rush to stop their secret investigation, just because they believed in their own ability to do things, they believed that no matter how Yang Zhen investigated, it was impossible to find any clues that were unfavorable to them in a short period of time.

After a few days, not to mention finding any family members of the rebels, even they hardly heard anything about them, as if these people had never been in Datong City at all. But Yang Zhen is sure that even if not all of them, there should be many family members of the rebel army who were once residents of the city, but they were erased by extremely powerful forces.

When he realized this, Yang Zhen couldn't help but have a question in his heart: Is this really something that officials from the top and bottom of Datong can do? Maybe power can completely disappear the traces of the existence of one or two people, but can it really do something that the government can do to completely disappear one ethnic group, one of the hundreds of thousands of ethnic groups that have lived in the city for decades? Or did they use other means they couldn't have imagined?

No, Yang Zhen believes that it is almost impossible for such a great ability to exist in this world, even if it is the son of today or the first assistant, I am afraid that there is no such powerful force that can completely erase the existence of thousands of people. Baimi is still negligent, let alone doing such a big thing.

After struggling for a long time, Yang Zhen suddenly thought of something, it was his previous idea that went wrong. Although the north of the city is indeed the area where the families of the rebellious army used to live, which does give them a focus of inspection, but why not the important place that those officials focus on covering up?

And those family members of the rebel army, since they know that their husbands, brothers, and sons have made big mistakes, they will inevitably worry that the government will condemn them for this and arrest them to deal with their relatives. Then they will inevitably think about leaving Beicheng, or even leaving Datong. This is also one of the reasons why Yang Zhen has almost turned around the north city of Datong in the past few days, but has found nothing.

After thinking about this, Yang Zhen was both pleased and a little dazed. Extrapolating from this, it is almost impossible to find clues in the north of the city, and Datong City is so big, it is almost like looking for a needle in a haystack to look for it aimlessly like before. And it is very likely that the families of these rebels have fled Datong City, so it is even more difficult to find them.

"What should I do next? Do you want to try your luck in the North City, or do you want to go elsewhere, or go out of the city to find it? Yang Zhen's heart suddenly became a little confused, and he didn't know where to go.

When Yang Zhen was faced with a difficult choice, Zhong Yu's situation was not much better. Because he also encountered a problem, he thought it was a flaw, but the Datong official told him that there was no problem there at all.

Zhong Yu had mentioned before that he wanted Guo Rong to bring the captured rebel soldiers to him for questioning, so as to confirm whether the rebels were indeed just doing the chaos because of the issue of food. At that time, judging from the demeanor of those people, Zhong Yu felt that he had found a breakthrough, and it only depended on whether Guo Rong and they were willing to hand over the people according to their own wishes.

But now, Zhong Yu realized that he was still too self-righteous, and things were far from being as simple as he thought.

Right in front of Zhong Yu, there were five or six rebel generals covered in dust and blood on their knees, just looking at their embarrassed appearance and the dishes on their faces, he knew that these people were not disguised, only people who had not landed for months and had nowhere to forage would show this state.

Zhong Yu was still a little surprised that Guo Rong really brought someone for him to interrogate. But since everyone had brought them, he naturally would not be polite, so he quickly interrogated the six captives.

But after some interrogation, Zhong Qincha was a little confused. Because the confessions given by these three men were completely consistent, and they were all exactly the same as those statements mentioned by the officials, they staged a mutiny only because of insufficient military pay.

How did Ren Zhongyu guide, how did he emphasize that as a messenger, he could accept them into the custody of his subordinates without them being retaliated against by Datong officials, and let them tell the truth, the attitude of the six people did not change at all, and they only said that they were guilty, because a little military salary turned against the imperial court, and the crime deserved to die.

You must know that when Zhong Yu interrogated, all his people were in the hall, and Guo Rong and the others were not present on the grounds of avoiding suspicion. can make these guys who even dare to make the opposition of the imperial court cooperate so obediently, which shows how strong and terrifying the other party's strength is.

After several inducements but still nothing came of it, Zhong Yu had to order someone to take them out. At the same time, he had to make a new judgment on the situation in front of him, and he, like Yang Zhen, saw from this abnormal sign how terrible the forces he was facing, which was completely beyond the ability of a normal magistrate.

"What the hell is going on? What are they hiding and who is behind it all? I don't think this must be from Liu Yingji's instructions and planning, above him, there must be a force controlling everything in Datong! Zhong Yu fell into deep thought in the lobby.

At the same time, Liu Yingji, who was outside the hall, looked at Zhong Qincha, who was full of entanglement, and showed an unpredictable smile on his face that everything was under control. I saw him exhale slowly, and then whispered in a voice that only he could hear, "It's time for him to get out of the horse......"
