Under the company and comfort of Yang Zhen, the spirits of Zhang Jingyun and Luo Yueying, who had been quite frightened, finally recovered. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Staying early the next morning, Yang Zhen got rid of the two daughters' pink arms and jade legs, and looked at their spring sleep from Begonia, and his heart was full of tenderness. Thinking that what those thieves did was obviously to ruin their current happy life, and even the survival of ordinary people in the capital might be in danger because of them, Yang Zhen secretly decided in his heart that he must find out everything as soon as possible and return Beijing to peace.

After having this thought, although there was still some attachment and reluctance in his heart, Yang Zhen still got up and put on his clothes, and walked out of the bedroom in the face of the biting cold wind.

At this time, a middle-aged woman happened to come over, and when she saw that it was him, she hurriedly saluted and reported: "Master, the eldest man has just come over, saying that he has something to discuss." ”

This woman is now the internal manager of the Yang Mansion, and is known as Aunt Qi. Now Yang Zhen's identity is very different from the beginning, so it is impossible for the interior of his house to be as casual as before, not only are there more slaves in the family, but also there are more evasiveness and attention to the inner and outer houses. Like the several courtyards before and after his entry, they are all inner houses in the house, only some maids and women can enter and exit, and Aunt Qi, the housekeeper who is in charge of the affairs of them, takes care of everything, and the people outside can only pass on the news outside the courtyard.

When Yang Zhen heard this, he didn't feel a little strange. It's only early in the morning, why is my brother in a hurry? However, he still nodded lightly and asked Aunt Qi to prepare some breakfast and send it to the front, and then walked through the courtyard to the living room to see his brother.

When he saw Yang Chen, he was walking back and forth in the hall with some uneasiness, and when he saw Yang Zhen arrive, he hurriedly walked over: "Erlang, you can be regarded as coming out." ”

"Big brother, you were kidnapped yesterday and were injured, are you feeling better? Why didn't you rest at home today, but you came to see me so early? But is there anything that matters? Yang Zhen asked with some concern and puzzlement.

Hearing him ask this, Yang Chen subconsciously touched his neck with his hand, which was still bandaged, and then smiled and said, "It's just some flesh wounds, Erlang, the injuries you have suffered are much more serious than mine." After a pause, he changed the topic and said: "Actually, there is something I wanted to tell you the night before, but it was just because something bigger happened at that time, and you didn't have the heart to pay attention to it." But when I went to Yamen early this morning, I learned that things had changed again, so I hurried to tell you. ”

"But what?" Yang Zhen thought about it carefully, and really remembered that when his brother found him the night before, it was not only to comfort and encourage him, but also seemed to have something to say. It was only after that he had already asked from his mouth where the White Lotus Sect's lair was, and he was in a hurry to save people, so he didn't talk deeply. Now that he had come to him again, it was clear that this matter must not be trivial.

"You were wrongfully accused of killing a director of our Ministry of Engineering the day before yesterday, and because he has no head, he has never been able to find out his identity, but is there such a thing?" Yang Chen asked solemnly.

Yang Zhen immediately nodded: "This is indeed the case, do you know his identity, eldest brother?" He looked at his brother expectantly.

As he always thought, those guys have done so many things in the capital, kidnapping people and arranging them, and killing people and causing trouble, so they will always show some flaws. It's just that because there are too many clues and too much confusion, Yang Zhen didn't find a breakthrough for a while, but now that he heard his brother say this, his heart moved, maybe the breakthrough was in the identity of the corpse.

Yang Chen nodded: "Although many officials in Beijing have already left because of the close to the New Year's Festival, it is a little difficult to find out their true identities. But as far as I know, there is indeed a director of our Ministry of Industry who has been missing for many days, and that is Zheng Heng! ”

"He's missing?" Yang Zhen unconsciously asked a little strangely: "Big brother, how did you know?" ”

Yang Chen immediately understood the meaning of the other party's words, after all, many officials in Beijing have left now, and it is indeed a bit strange to say that people are missing. But he still explained: "He is different from ordinary officials, and he also has a position, and he is the one who helps me deal with the New Year Festival and the Shangyuan Festival." But the day before yesterday, I found out that he was not in the yamen, so I sent someone to inquire at home, only to learn that he was not at home a few days earlier......"

Yang Zhen's eyes narrowed quickly, how suspicious is this matter, could it be that the corpse that was framed for killing him was really the head of the Ministry of Works named Zheng Heng? Just, what did those guys kill him for? Is it just to blame yourself so that you can take the next step?

However, the authenticity of this is not too difficult to distinguish, just call Zheng Heng's family and recognize the corpse, and naturally there will be an answer - although the corpse has been burned to the point that it is not visible, Yang Zhen feels that he is still somewhat sure.

But Yang Chen's subsequent words made Yang Zhen's plan abortive: "Although this matter is a little strange, I am not in a hurry to come to you at this time to talk to you." However, when I arrived at the Yamen early this morning, I learned even more shocking news -- just yesterday afternoon, someone discovered that there had been a bloody incident in Zheng Heng's house, and the old and young in the family had been killed......

"What?" Yang Zhen was a little surprised and said, "His whole family was killed? ”

"Exactly. Someone found that the door of his house was not closed, so they went in to check, but they didn't want to see the corpse in the courtyard, and they cried out in horror, and then they alarmed the people of the Soldiers and Horses Division and the Shuntian Mansion......"

"There are such things, so it seems that there are indeed some problems with Zheng Heng's death." Yang Zhen frowned, he didn't expect that when he rested yesterday, there would be such an accident in the capital. But it's no wonder that Xia Kai and them, Jinyiwei is not a public security yamen after all, who would pay attention to this kind of homicide?

But obviously, this is not an ordinary homicide case, this is a murder case that has a lot to do with the case on his side! Thinking of this, Yang Zhen asked again, "Then when were they killed?" ”

Yang Chen shook his head: "I don't know this, after all, I just listened to other people in the Ministry of Industry, and I didn't go to Shuntianfu to ask." ”

Yang Zhen nodded in understanding, and at the same time had a plan in his heart, it seems that this is a clue, and if you want to investigate it today, you have to start with this case.

"Thank you, big brother, for telling me this news, otherwise I might have missed an important clue." Yang Zhen hugged his fists.

"Erlang is serious, you and I are brothers, and the people next to me can't help you, so you always have to do your best in this matter."

Yang Zhen smiled, and just picked up the breakfast brought by the servant, when he suddenly remembered a little more and asked, "By the way, big brother, what kind of errand is this Zheng Heng responsible for in the Ministry of Industry?" He always felt that the other party must have another purpose for killing such a petty official, not just to blame himself.

"Usually he does trivial things. But this time, because our Ministry of Industry suddenly got a big errand and asked us to prepare for the festival celebration from the New Year to Shangyuan, he was responsible for the various arrangements in the area of Yujie. Yang Chen replied truthfully.

"Oh?" Yang Zhen responded thoughtfully, his eyes flashed a few times, but he didn't say much. However, he had secretly decided in his heart that he wanted to conduct a deep investigation into the case.

Although this case has a deep relationship with him, in the previous situation, it was impossible for Yang Zhen to deliberately investigate such a trivial matter. But now it is naturally different, and the case is in the hands of Shuntianfu, so it is not too difficult for him to intervene.

After breakfast, the two brothers of the Yang family separated, one went back to the Ministry of Industry to do things, and the other planned to go to the Zhenfu Division first, and then went to Shuntianfu to inquire about the news.

But when Yang Zhen came to the Zhenfu Division, he saw several officials of the Criminal Department waiting there with some cowering, and in front of them, there were many people from the Jinyi Guards who were staring at them with hostility.

"Is this ......" Yang Zhen asked with some puzzlement as he dismounted.

"Yang Dudu, can't you make it difficult for us......" As soon as he arrived, several Lang Zhong Wailang or something from the Criminal Department surrounded him and said with a bow.

"Presumptuous!" When Gelehei, who was guarding the door, saw this situation, he immediately walked over with a straight face: "What, do you really dare to take us back?" ”

Hearing what he said, Yang Zhen suddenly understood the reason, and his face sank slightly: "Why, your criminal department really thinks that I killed that unknown official of the Ministry of Industry?" ”

"Xiaguan...... Xia Guan didn't believe it, but before this case is investigated, Yang Dudu, your suspicion is still the greatest......" Xu Sizhi, the head of the criminal department, said boldly, which made the expressions of the people around him change again.

In this regard, Yang Zhen is really hard to refute, who called himself really caught the trap?

Seeing him like this, Xu Sizhi continued to say boldly: "Moreover, today, many officials have impeached our criminal department, saying that our corpse is a vegetarian meal and a public and private matter, since an official of the imperial court has been killed, since he should find out the truth, how can he let it go because it is about Yang Dudu......

Under the other party's complaint, Yang Zhen finally understood why they came here to beg for suspicion, and it turned out that the Criminal Department had no choice.

I don't know if it was because of the fact that Zheng Heng's family was killed yesterday, and the fact that he was killed by Yang Zhen in Xianqingguan quickly became known. At this time, the officials who had nothing to do in the DPRK and China could be regarded as having found their target, and they immediately went to the court to impeach. Early this morning, the Criminal Department knew that they had been attacked by dozens of officials, and they naturally refused to take the blame for Yang Zhen, so they could only come here to invite someone.

At this time, Yang Zhen was also a little embarrassed, he naturally didn't want to go to the Criminal Department to hear the trial, after all, there were still too many things to deal with by himself. But after all, the Criminal Department helped him the day before yesterday, he can't take revenge and let the Criminal Department be attacked, right?
