Chapter 86 Suspicious dreams in the middle of the night startled by the wind and rain outside the window (2)

The heavy rain is like a note, slapping on the courtyard walls and pavilions, like the sound of Jin Ge on the battlefield, it is hard to imagine that the winter rain will be as wild as the summer rainstorm.

Maybe the rain wasn't as heavy as it felt, but it was because the cold wind was too tight, so the rain could easily soak your clothes.

The big umbrella is like a cover, squeezing the wide streets and alleys, and the raindrops the size of beans fall along the edge of the umbrella, and the bead curtain is like a smash on the ground.

The flannling torches seemed to be extinguished at any time, reflecting the murderous aura on the faces of the Tsing Yi warriors.

The door of the mansion where he recorded the army, in front of the night rain and the sharp soldiers of the military intelligence department, seemed to feel the cold of winter, and couldn't help but shiver.

A carriage drove quickly from the other side of the street under the escort of dozens of horsemen, and the Tsing Yi Rui men outside the gate of the mansion gave way to both sides to make way for the BMW carved car.

The carriage stopped in front of the door, and a sergeant beside the carriage dismounted early, opened an oil-paper umbrella twice the size of an ordinary umbrella, and bent down in front of the frame.

Li Congjing walked out of the carriage without hurry, looking at the door of the mansion that looked very calm in the night fire, and raised his feet and stepped up to the steps in front of the mansion.

"Report to the marshal, all the people in the palace have been centrally charged, there are no other casualties, and after preliminary interrogation, no suspicious people have been found, what else does the marshal command?"

The fifth girl, who arrived one step earlier, had already learned the latest situation, and at this time she hurried to meet her, she did not hold an umbrella, and the wind and rain quickly drenched her.

Li Congjing pulled her into a large umbrella, stroked a rain stain on her head, and "Take me to the place where the body was found." ”

The fifth girl led the way in front, Li Congjing was about to cross the threshold, and suddenly there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves on the street behind him, Li Congjing stopped, and the Tsing Yi on the horse rolled off the saddle in front of the house, and shouted urgently: "Doctor of Medicine hanged himself at home!" ”

According to the system, there is one doctor of medicine in Shangzhou, one is under the ninth grade, one teaching assistant, and fifteen students.

Li Congjing turned around and looked at the sky, the sky was pitch black, half a star was also, and the rain above his head fell from the void, and he couldn't see its source.

Waving his hand to indicate that he knew, Li Congjing walked into the mansion.

The place where he hanged himself was not a bedroom, but a study, and it was a maid in his wife's room who found him, because his wife had not seen him go back to the room to rest for a long time, so he sent a maid to investigate.

It was found that after the record joined the army and hanged himself, there was a mess in the house, and there was a patrol of armor soldiers passing through this place, and it was not raining at that time, and the messenger sent by the mansion was quickly sent to the military intelligence office of the marshal mansion by the armor soldiers.

The record is named Liu Yan, who is in his forties, slightly fat, and when Li Congjing saw his corpse, the other party's eyes were not closed.

There was no trace of a fight in the study, and Li Congjing walked around the room, and it was normal.

Half an hour later, the various reports of the Military Intelligence Department were handed over to the fifth girl, and after the fifth girl went through the preliminary screening, she took the "autopsy report"

Walking in front of Li Congjing, anger was faintly visible on his white and flawless little face, "The cause of Liu Yan's death is not suicide!" Of course, Liu Congjing did not commit suicide, Li Congjing no longer believed that these two people committed suicide when he heard that Si Cang had joined the military and hanged himself, and then he heard that the doctor of medicine also died, so he firmly believed in his inner judgment. About to commit suicide together, did these people all join the cult? After killing a person, the corpse is put in the appearance of hanging, this kind of thing is not much difficult, and there are many methods of killing people without seeing blood or wounds, and the military intelligence department can naturally find out. The question is, why would the killers put these people on the appearance of suicide? Why do murderers kill these people, and for what purpose? Who is the murderer, and who can kill multiple officials in a row in the city of Chengdu overnight? This is the key issue that needs to be pursued. The war had just ended, and Chengdu was in a transition period from wartime to non-wartime, and at this time, all kinds of order in Chengdu were being restored, which can be described as an eventful autumn, and the limited manpower, including the military intelligence department, was thrown into various places, which was the time when the defense force was the weakest, and it was also an excellent time for those with bad intentions to take advantage of the situation. And at this time, it is the time when there is no way to make trouble. "After the end of the war, the manpower of the Military Intelligence Department was mainly scattered in the pursuit of Meng Thief Yu Party, and the protection of the imperial court officials to go to various posts to serve, and now there are probably not too many people left in Chengdu, I will ask Meng Ping to transfer some manpower to you." This case is clearly not an ordinary homicide case, the task of chasing and killing the murderer still has to fall on the head of the military intelligence department, Li Congjing did not give the fifth girl a chance to refuse, and said solemnly: "This time the opponent is only afraid that it is not simple, we must take it quickly with the momentum of a lion fighting a rabbit!" After instructing the fifth girl, Li Congjing did not linger any longer, nor did he go to the homes of the other deceased, he went straight back to the Shuaifu - although this case was unusual, there was no need for him to investigate it personally, compared to it, it was the things outside the case that he should bother. When he returned to the Shuaifu, the wind and rain were still not light, and after some tossing, it was almost time, and Li Congjing went straight to the east study. Three Xichuan officials died overnight - there may be more, Li Congjing's first thing to do is to bring the situation under control, if tomorrow the whole city is rumored that Xichuan officials have committed suicide, I don't know how many people have guessed some unwarranted shady things, the three of them become tigers, and there are many rumors, which is extremely unfavorable to the empire's governance of Xichuan. Li Congjing first called Meng Pinglai and instructed him: "One of them will send out five hundred elite armor soldiers to strengthen the protection of the Xichuan officials in the city for twelve hours without interruption; Second, 500 elite armor soldiers were also transferred, and in addition to the original patrol mechanism, they focused on strengthening the protection of important places in the city, such as the official market; Third, increase the guards at the city gates, pay more attention to the personnel entering and exiting, and immediately check the details of those who have suspicious deeds; Fourth, "the city gate of Chengdu can not be closed, nor can it shorten the opening time, let alone check the entry and exit personnel too strictly, the imperial court has just arrived in Chengdu, and it is necessary to use the prosperity of Chengdu as the original order to whitewash the peace - no one is in chaos, in order to show that the imperial court has two rivers is the hope of the people; The fact that the imperial court is not on guard against rebellion everywhere shows that the imperial court is lenient and virtuous. Subsequently, Li Congjing issued gag orders to officials at all levels, not to discuss tonight's affairs, and violators were directly thrown into prison. These measures show that Li Congjing not only wants to ensure that similar incidents do not happen in Chengdu again, but also to ensure that the murderer is dug up as much as possible, and more importantly, to ensure that the impact of this incident is minimized. After all the arrangements were made, Li Congjing didn't think about being useless anymore, and turned around and devoted himself to the reconstruction of Liangchuan. Li Congjing doesn't like to sit in the courtyard of the deep house, self-righteous finger-pointing at the world, even if he walks out of the door, things are limited, but seeing the subtleties must be of great benefit. In the next two days, Li Congjing inspected the water conservancy situation in the fields outside the capital, and also went to the people to understand their demands and the necessary understanding of the imperial court's commercial grass markets in various places. Nothing major happened in the past two days, and although the military intelligence department has not yet traced the murderer, no one in Chengdu has made any more disturbances, and everything seems to have calmed down. The reports of officials from various places are increasing day by day, and the two rivers are moving towards a bright future. The first unexpected thing after this did not come from military and political affairs, but from Meng Yanyi. "The slave plans to leave Chengdu for a while, and I ask His Highness to agree." When Meng Yanyi came in to say these words, the look on her face was very entangled, she was very uneasy, and a handkerchief was twisted in her hand. As if she was afraid that Li Congjing would not agree, she immediately added: "When His Highness summons the slave, the slave will come back." Meng Yanyi, who was standing timidly in the empty study in front of her, was far from the smart and stubborn lady she was when she first met, Li Congjing didn't want to be too embarrassed for her, "You are a free body, so you can go wherever you want." However, after all, Liangchuan has only experienced war, and I am afraid that the places are not very peaceful, so I will send some people to protect you. Meng Yanyi probably didn't expect Li Congjing to be so cheerful, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he hurriedly thanked: "Thank you, Your Highness!" She hesitated for a moment and peeked at Li Congjing, "The slave has a maid and a wife to follow, and he only walks the avenue, so there shouldn't be any danger" The last sentence refusing Li Congjing's arrangement of guards still couldn't be spoken. "It's fine. Then I won't send you guards, you just have to be careful. Li Congjing said what she wanted to say for her. Seeing that Meng Yanyi breathed a sigh of relief, Li Congjing didn't ask much. Until Meng Yanyi exited the door, Li Congjing suddenly felt bad for no reason, which made him feel inexplicable. Meng Yanyi said that he was going out to relax, the real purpose must be to find Meng Zhixiang's whereabouts, this Li Congjing naturally knows, but he doesn't care, he can't even find someone from the military intelligence department, what can she do if she is a weak woman? "Someone." Li Congjing called the people from the guard. "What does Your Highness command?" It was a woman who came in, slim and elegant, with a calm and calm temperament. Li Congjing was stunned, he didn't expect that Liu Xixian was on duty today, but this is fine, "You can take a few people and secretly follow Meng Yanyi to ensure her thoughtfulness, don't care about the rest." Liu carefully ordered him to retreat, and went to bring people to prepare without mentioning it. Let's say that when this day was approaching twilight, an urgent report from Jianzhou made Li Congjing's brows squeeze together. The urgent report was sent by Zhao Xiangyao, and the content of the letter was shocking. Overnight, several of the original local officials in Jianzhou hanged themselves at home! Like Liu Qi and others, these are former Xichuan officials, because they have no culpability, they are now being used by the imperial court. At the end of the letter, Zhao Xiangyao had a plea, mentioning that most of the personnel of the military intelligence department in Jianzhou were assigned to the court officials as temporary guards to protect them, and that the situation in Chengdu was no different from that of the former Xichuan officials. Li Congjing immediately called Mo Li. After Mo Li heard this, he said with a solemn face: "I'm afraid that in the next two days, there will be news of the killing of officials from all over Xichuan one after another!" "The situation that seemed to have stopped suddenly rose to an extremely strict level! This book is from/book/html/16/16949/
