Chapter 304: A Sincere Conversation on the Road to the West (I)
Among the many people present, shrewd people such as Zhong Yu and Song Xueqiao saw the clues, but the others were still confused, especially those villagers, who were even more surprised, and they didn't know what kind of medicine Yang Zhen bought in the gourd. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Yang Zhen didn't hide it, so he told the truth of the matter under the confused eyes of the villagers: "I confirm that Huang Shilang is the murderer because he doesn't have ink on his hands like you, which is a reflection of the murderer's lack of heart." Because I have smeared ink on the copper in the ancestral hall before, and as long as someone touches the copper with their hands, it will inevitably get ink stains. But as for him, he was obviously afraid that he would be pointed out by the god of Brother Chun as I said, so he didn't dare to really touch the copper, so among the many people who entered, there was no ink on his hands. Huang Shilang, do you have anything to quibble about now? As he spoke, Yang Zhen had exuded a strong pressure, which was the power he had accumulated over the past few years of handling cases and killings, which was naturally not trivial.
Huang Shilang was poked by Yang Zhen's words, and was pressed by him with such a powerful momentum, his face suddenly turned like earth, he fell to his knees and kowtowed: "The eldest lord spares his life...... It was the villain who was angry for a while, so he killed my brother by mistake, and the villain knew that he was wrong...... "Although he is more slippery and bold than ordinary villagers, he is a village man who does not have much knowledge after all, and in front of a person like Yang Zhen, he naturally can't support it."
Yang Zhen didn't look at him, but turned to look at the other villagers: "Do you understand?" Why don't you get rid of the wronged person quickly? I hope you will learn this lesson in the future, and don't condemn people indiscriminately because of some so-called gods! ”
The villagers woke up like a dream at this time, and some people hurriedly ran over to untie Huang Qishan from the wooden frame. The others bowed to Yang Zhen after a pause: "Thank you Lord for upholding justice for us, Xiaomin knows." ”
Yang Zhen could see that it was impossible for them to stop believing in that Baiying God because of this incident, but this deep-rooted belief was not something he could change overnight, so he waved his hand to let them get up, and then turned around and left. That's all he can do, because he's just a passerby.
However, when he returned to the group, he found that something was wrong. Those sergeants who were lukewarm to themselves, let alone not much respect, were looking at them with eyes full of reverence at the moment, and even Zhong Yu, who was sitting in the car not far away, poked his head out and nodded appreciatively at himself.
Being looked at like this by so many people, Yang Zhen was a little at a loss, and he hurriedly touched his nose and said, "Let's go, after a long delay, it's time to continue the journey." ”
"Yes!" The surrounding soldiers agreed loudly at the same time, and then the team, which seemed a little lazy before, changed their faces and marched forward majestically, which made Yang Zhen, who was in it, feel funny. I didn't expect that what I did on a whim could still have an inspiring effect on the army.
He didn't know that what really made the sergeants respect him was not his clever methods to solve the case, but the tricks he had played before. After seeing his ability to make money from a boiling oil pot with his bare hands, everyone decided that he had a divine body, and respect for him was also respect for the gods. Perhaps, this is the meaning of unintentional willow insertion.
In the other carriage, An Jizong's face became very ugly when he saw this change: "How can this be, Yang Zhen's luck is too good." Snow Bridge, where are the people you said could kill him, it's almost Datong, why haven't you seen them do it? ”
Seeing this, Song Xueqiao hurriedly comforted his man and said, "An Lang, you can relax, he won't be proud for a few days." A little further afield, it is Xin County, where the people I arranged will take his life! ”
Seeing that he said so, An Jizong finally felt a little relieved. He didn't know that in fact, Song Xueqiao was just as anxious as him. However, because of Zhou Zhi's death, his plan lacked key contacts and co-ordinators, and everything had to be done by Song Xueqiao himself, so it was inevitable that there would be some problems. As a result, the plan was postponed, and the assassination that should have happened before and after entering Shanxi could only be postponed until Xinzhou.
Yang Zhen actually felt a little strange. According to what Xiang Ying said before, Song Xueqiao will be unfavorable to him on the way to Shanxi. But it's more than half of the journey, but there is still no movement, is the other party planning to start after the team arrives in Datong? That's too bold and looks down on the Ming army.
Just when Yang Zhen was guessing when Song Xueqiao would make a move, a person dressed as an entourage suddenly came to his side and said respectfully: "Yang Qianhu, my family wants to invite you to the car for a talk." ”
"Huh?" Yang Zhen, who was thinking about things, was stunned when he heard this, and then came back to his senses, knowing that it was Zhong Yu who came to call him, so he nodded with a smile and said: "There is a labor housekeeper, and I will go over here." ”
After instructing Mo Chong beside him to say a few words, Yang Zhen turned his horse and came to the carriage that looked quite spacious, and then said in a low voice: "But Zhong Yushi summoned the officials to have something to order?" ”
Zhong Yu's slightly magnetic voice soon came from inside: "It's Yang Qianhu, please come in and talk." ”
Since Shangguan said so, Yang Zhen was no longer polite, and after answering in a low voice, he dismounted, and then kicked behind the car, and then bent down and entered the carriage.
As soon as he entered the carriage, Yang Zhen was stunned. Because the environment here is much better than the outside, not only the place is very spacious, but also very cool, in which you don't feel that the outside is about to enter the hot season, as if you have driven an air-conditioned car in the future. In addition, Zhong Yu, who was sitting on the side of the carriage, also placed a small table in front of him, on which some food and wine were placed, and even two books were placed on it......
This is like a horse-drawn carriage going the long way, this is clearly a moving house, an RV in this era!
When Zhong Yu saw him like this, he first politely asked Yang Zhen to sit down opposite, and then poured him a cup of fragrant tea, and then smiled and said, "Call Yang Qianhu, you are smiling......
Yang Zhen smiled bitterly and picked up the teacup and took a sip, then said: "It's just that the lower officials have little knowledge, otherwise they wouldn't be shocked by the situation here of adults." As he spoke, he couldn't help but sigh in amazement. If this condition appeared in the later generations, he would not take it seriously at all, but a few hundred years ago, the Ming Dynasty, and it appeared in the body of a not very high status of the Imperial History, it is inevitable that he will not be suspicious: Isn't this Zhong Yushi not as honest and honest as others say?
Zhong Yu seemed to see what Yang Zhen was thinking, and smiled self-deprecatingly: "As long as you have seen my colleagues, you will generally feel that Zhong Yu must be a person who is different from what he seems, otherwise where would he get so much silver." Presumably Yang Qianhu thought so in his heart, right? ”
Yang Zhen wanted to say something he didn't dare, but then changed his mind and said with a smile: "It seems that I want to fork it, and there is a legitimate reason why my lord is like this." ”
"Not bad. My Zhong family is a big family in Shanxi, and my family has a lot of money, and I am a person they focus on cultivating, so my life will be better than ordinary people since I was a child. Over time, habits become natural, and they can only live this life of poverty and luxury in the eyes of others. However, the official can guarantee that he has never done anything unrighteous with his conscience because of this. ”
Yang Zhen looked around and found that there were several ice basins in the corner of the carriage, containing several ice cubes, no wonder the car was so cool. But he nodded and said, "I can trust my lord in this." With your style, it is not easy for ordinary people to buy you. ”
When Zhong Yu heard this, he couldn't help laughing: "Yang Qianhu really has some knowledge, not bad." When this official was the first imperial history, there were indeed people who wanted to buy me with money. However, after seeing the extravagance of this official, he didn't dare to have this idea anymore. Over time, no one dared to buy me anymore. Therefore, this money is indeed a good thing, it can not only bring people a comfortable life, but also strengthen people's will. ”
For this statement, Yang Zhen heard of it for the first time. But when I think about it carefully, I feel that it is not unreasonable, and it is obviously far easier to buy an official from a rich family with the same amount of money than to buy an official from a rich family. Perhaps it is precisely because of his family's wealth that Zhong Yu can stand alone in today's officialdom.
Zhong Yu didn't dwell on this issue all the time, and after a little explanation, he turned the topic to Yang Zhen: "In fact, the name of Yang Qianhu has been heard for a long time when the official was in the capital. In the previous Lantern Festival fire case, you were able to crack and catch the murderer in a short period of time, which made the official deeply admired. ”
Yang Zhen hurriedly said humbly, not daring. Zhong Yu said again: "But after all, it is better to see than to hear, and today after seeing the case of Yang Qianhu Zhizhi in that village, it made the official feel even more surprised." How did you come up with such a clever plan in such a short period of time, so that his murderer could not be hidden? ”
"This ...... It's just a coincidence. After listening to the words of those villagers, he knew that they believed in the theory of ghosts and gods, so he decided to use this as a breakthrough. Sure enough, the murderer revealed his flaws because he was afraid of the might of the ghosts and gods in the underworld. ”
"Oh? Is that all? Zhong Yu already had a complete understanding of the previous incident at this time, and also had his own opinions, and this inquiry was obviously testing Yang Zhen.
Yang Zhen saw the other party's thoughts, and knew that he couldn't hide it from the other party, so he smiled bitterly: "The adult is really more shrewd than me, and I guessed that there was another reason just by listening to the general process of the case." Yes, before using this method, I already thought that Huang Shilang was the most suspicious. ”
"Oh? What do you mean by that? Zhong Yu continued to ask quietly.
