Hearing Yang Zhen talk about the Xiangshan case, the muscles on Mao Siliang's cheeks trembled, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he said with a little cringe after a while: "I want to disappoint Lord Yang, the little one who knows about this case is really limited......

"Really? So why are you still so upset? The change in his expression naturally couldn't hide Yang Zhen's eyes, and then he covered his face with his gaze and said: "And Brother Mao didn't say just now, you have been a messenger in this Wanping County Yali for eight years, and almost every case will pass through your hands, how can you know so much about this case is so serious?" ”

"I ......" After subconsciously shirking it, Mao Shuzhi remembered the contradiction between what he just said and what he said, and he was both frightened and a little embarrassed for a while, and he didn't know how to justify himself. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Yang Zhen pressed step by step: "What, Brother Mao still refuses to tell the truth?" Then the official can only invite you back to the Yamen of the Jinyi Guard's Pacification Division and ask you slowly, and please don't be weird. ”

"Adults spare their lives, little ones ...... The little one does know some of the circumstances of the case! In the face of such a threat, Mao Siliang no longer dared to hide anything, and hurriedly said. Although the influence of Jinyiwei in the capital was not as good as that of the year, the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse, and the rotten ship also had three catties of nails, and for low-level officials and ordinary people like Mao Siliang, their threat was still quite large.

Yang Zhen nodded with satisfaction: "You say, this official can guarantee that what you said today will never be known by others, let alone affect you." ”

"My lord, before I explain this case in a small way, can I ask a question?" Mao Siliang suddenly asked boldly.

"Just ask." Yang Zhen didn't think about it, and nodded with a smile.

"Why did you become interested in this case? Why should I look it up? ”

"Shouldn't such a bad case be investigated? That's five lives. Yang Zhen asked rhetorically.

"But my lord, did you know that a certain big man was involved in this case? Because of this, our county lord in Wanping has changed, and a certain master of the Criminal Department has also lost his official. If it weren't for the small people's small words and not being taken seriously, I was afraid that the small ones would not be able to stay here. Although you are an adult of Jinyiwei, I am afraid that investigating this case will also bring you a lot of trouble. Even at this time, Mao Siliang was still trying his best to persuade Yang Zhenmo to intervene in this thorny case.

It's a pity that he couldn't say these words Yang Zhen at all, so he smiled indifferently: "This is my business, so I won't worry about it." You should tell me everything you know truthfully, as for whether you should check it or not, and how you should check it, it's all my business. ”

"Okay...... Now that the adults have made up their minds, the little ones will tell you everything they know. Speaking of this, the voice of the scrivener Mao was stunned, and his expression suddenly became more solemn, and then he said in a heavier voice: "In fact, when the case was reported to our county government, the little one was the same as the adult, and I hope to give the deceased a justice and arrest the murderer."

"However, there is also a difficulty in this case, the five deceased have no items on their bodies that can prove their identity, and even their faces are unrecognizable due to corruption, so it is extremely difficult to trace the murderer through the corpse."

Yang Zhen nodded in agreement, he had also thought of this question. Generally speaking, murder, especially the killing of several people, has a reason, either for love or hatred, and is often the work of someone who knew the deceased well. And judging from the wounds on the bodies of those women, this is even more confirmed, and it is obvious that the murderer has a certain relationship with them. But now they don't even know who they are, so how can they find the murderer?

After swallowing his saliva, Mao Siliang continued: "For this reason, Xiaguan, the scribe of the torture room, was not less reprimanded by the former county lord. So during that time, Xia Guan has been thinking about where to start to follow up the clues. Fortunately, it is also the sky that lives up to the painstaking people, and it is really a little bit of a thought. ”

"Oh? But where to start? Yang Zhen was also immediately interested. He had also thought about where to start investigating the case, but he didn't have a clue for a while.

It seems that because of talking about what he is good at, Mao Siliang has changed his previous cringe and seems natural: "Actually, it still has to fall on the five female deceased." Although their faces are no longer recognizable, anyone close to them can always recognize them. And the little ones also felt that they couldn't be people outside the capital, maybe their family members had come to the government to report their disappearance, so they hurriedly asked Daxing County and Shuntian Mansion for the disappearance cases before and after that time. ”

Yang Zhen couldn't help but nodded and praised: "This is indeed a good idea, Brother Mao, the scribe of the torture room, is not too bad, and he even knows how to start investigating the case from elsewhere." ”

"Lord Yang is too complimentary, and the little one was forced to have no way out of it by the above, so he came up with such a way." Speaking of this, he sighed again: "But even so, the little one couldn't find a clue at the beginning, although there are indeed many missing people in the capital, but they are not the same as these five female corpses." ”

"Oh? How did you find the clues after that? Yang Zhen knew that since the original Wanping County Order was convicted of this case, then they must have found some direct clues.

A bitter smile bloomed from the corner of Mao Siliang's mouth: "After this road didn't work, the little one thought of another way, maybe these women are not from a good family...... Therefore, even if they have been dead for a long time, they have not seen their family members come to the yamen to report the case, so naturally we will not be able to find clues. ”

"Are you saying that they are all (female chang) (female branches)?" Yang Zhen shook violently.

"Exactly, only such a poor woman in the dust would end up like this. However, there are countless bright and dark happy venues in Beijing, and it is a little difficult for small ones to start here. In the end, the little one reported this inference to his own adult, and it was up to him to decide how to continue the investigation. ”

"And the result?" Yang Zhen narrowed his eyes and asked, this is what he cares about the most. Obviously, they must have found some important clue from this.

But to his surprise, Mao Siliang stopped talking about this, and only said with a somewhat strange look: "After that, the little one didn't ask about the case again, and soon the county lord was accused of taking bribes, and then the case was handed over to the yamen of the criminal department." ”

"Is that so?" Yang Zhen looked at Mao Siliang with a little disappointment, and then said with some suspicion: "You didn't hide anything from me, did you?" ”

"The little ones don't dare, these are all that the little ones know. Obviously, Lord Xianzun was inspired by me to check those places, and found something terrible, and then he ...... "Speaking of this, his expression darkened again."

Yang Zhen nodded in surprise, but at the same time, the doubts in his heart deepened: "It's just some dusty women, why were they killed by people in such cruel ways?" Also, what is the origin of the guy who killed them, not only can the criminal department not dare to investigate in detail, but he only dares to attack these poor women, what is the identity of this person? ”

"Your Excellency...... Please also listen to a small word of persuasion, this case is really too strange, two officials have been convicted of it, although you are a high-ranking official of Jinyiwei, but if it is too deep, I am afraid that it will also ...... So it's better to get out early. Mao Siliang persuaded him again.

Yang Zhen saw that he said solemnly, so he also straightened his face: "Brother Mao, let me ask you a question, what are you doing as the scribe of this torture room?" Is it just for that meager salary? Or do you think you still have a chance to rise from here? ”

"I ......" was asked by him, and Mao Siliang really couldn't answer.

"I don't say anything big about the country and the people, since Brother Mao has been able to stay here for eight years, he obviously has some interest and experience in what he has done, don't you want to know the truth behind those cases, see through the true faces of those who are traitors, bring them to justice, and let the victims get justice?"

Looking at the somewhat stunned Mao scribe, Yang Zhen continued: "The reason for handling this case is the truth. The more mysterious the case became, and the more people tried to prevent us from getting to the bottom of it, the more interested I was in getting to the bottom of it. As for what you are talking about, what kind of inside story it doesn't matter to me at all, and I also believe that there is no one in this Beijing city who can cover the sky with one hand so that even I, the Jinyi guard, can easily solve it. ”

Looking at Yang Zhen's fearless appearance, Mao Siliang's heart was greatly shocked, and it took a while to stand up solemnly and salute him: "What Lord Zhenfu said is as straightforward as Daigo, but he is a small short-sighted, only caring about himself, but forgetting his true heart. ”

Yang Zhen smiled, stood up and said, "You don't have to blame yourself so much, I can see that you still have some ability." If you want to do more in the future, you can come to the Zhenfu Division to find me Yang Zhen, and I will leave a place for you in the Jinyi Guard. As he spoke, he left Mao Siliang with a stunned face and went out.

This trip to Wanping County is still quite rewarding for Yang Zhen, at least he has been given a clue to follow, those dead are all dusty women, and it is obvious that as long as you follow this line, there will be greater gains.

Although the most critical point has not yet surfaced because of someone's action behind the scenes, he believes that as long as he investigates, he can always find out the true face of that guy, after all, even a Wanping county order can find out that day, and of course he is the calmer of Jinyiwei.

However, after thinking about it carefully, Yang Zhen had another thought: "If I investigate so clearly, I may be constrained by some people with intentions, in this case, why don't I borrow the power of others?" ”
