Chapter 452: A Difficult Case (5)
"I heard that Yang Qianhu, ah no, it's time to call you Yang Zhenfu, I heard that you have made great contributions in Shanxi, Lin is still planning to come to the door to congratulate you, but I didn't expect that it was Yang Zhenfu who came to the cold house first, I am really ashamed. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info" Lin Tiande, a tycoon in the capital who greeted him after hearing the news, was already bowing to Yang Zhen very respectfully while speaking.
Facing his enthusiastic and humble appearance, Yang Zhen just smiled faintly: "Brother Lin is too polite, it's just a small credit, it's nothing." ”
"Hey, you can't say that, when the Shanxi mutiny was reported back to the capital, I was also frightened, and the people in the city were even more panicked to the extreme, for fear that if Shanxi was in chaos, the Mongolian Tatars would take the opportunity to attack, which would bring endless disasters to my Ming Dynasty. Fortunately, thanks to Yang Zhenfu, you worked tirelessly and riskily to quell the rebellion, which is why I am safe in Beijing today, and it is not too much to express my gratitude in the future. Lin Tiande said a series of flattering words, comparing Yang Zhen to a hero who saved the country and perished.
In this regard, Yang Zhen naturally said a few words humbly, and after saying this, the relationship between the two was slightly closer. At the same time, the two of them, accompanied by his brothers, entered the courtyard and finally came to the guest hall, where they were seated separately.
Even though he has said a lot, Lin Tiande especially felt insufficient, and after someone served tea, he mentioned the matter of Shanxi again: "To tell the truth that I am not afraid of Yang Zhenfu's jokes, I heard that you were killed in Shanxi a while ago, and I am really sad for a while, I feel that our Ming Dynasty has lost a capable official since then, and I, Lin Tiande, have also lost a good friend who can be made." Fortunately, God bless me Daming, God bless my lord, you finally returned safely. ”
Seeing his sincere appearance when he said this, Yang Zhen really believed it, so he hugged his fists with some gratitude: "Thank you, Brother Lin, for your love so much, and you have received it in your heart." It seems that you really treat me Yang Zhen as a friend? ”
"That's natural, when I didn't deal with Yang Zhenfu much before, I saw that you were a friend worth making, and then you made me even more impressed by the trouble of the Japanese people. So at that time, I told myself in my heart, you, my friend, Lin Tiande, have made a deal. Lin Tiande patted his chest without hesitation.
"Actually, I also think that Brother Lin, you are a friend worth making, so I will visit today, it seems that the level of looking at people is not low." Yang Zhen also followed these words and made friends with the other party.
After saying some words that praised each other and pulled the relationship, Lin Tiande asked, "But I don't know why Yang Zhenfu is here today?" ”
"Since you and I are friends, don't call me why I am calm, too much, if you don't dislike it, you and I can only be commensurate with our age." Yang Zhen was not busy saying what he meant, but continued to draw the relationship between the two closer.
Lin Tiande is not a person who is too polite, and he is also very bold, as soon as he saw Yang Zhen make this proposal, he nodded without too much hesitation: "It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate, then I will call you Brother Yang." After saying that, he looked at Yang Zhen again: "Brother Yang, if it weren't for the fact that I, an elder brother, have a lot of eyes, it is really with your current identity, it is impossible to meet such a character as me at this time." Tell me, what do you want me to do for you, as long as I can help you, I will not refuse. ”
"Brother Lin is really quick to talk, but he is a little embarrassed, and he will come to see you to discuss when he has something to ask." Yang Zhen was a little ashamed.
"Hey, Brother Yang, you are out of sight when you say this, isn't it just for friends to have multiple ways and multiple helps? I helped you today, maybe you'll help me tomorrow, so why bother. Say, what can I do? Lin Tiande waved his hand very generously, and comforted Yang Zhen in turn.
Seeing that he had said it so well, Yang Zhen didn't have the need to swallow it anymore, and said truthfully: "I don't know if Brother Lin still has an impression of the female corpse case that happened in Xiangshan last year?" ”
"Xiangshan...... Female corpse ......" Lin Tiande's brows suddenly furrowed. A tycoon like him needs to do a lot of things every day, so naturally he won't deliberately write down any cases. But after some reminiscences, he still patted his thigh and said: "I remember, this matter was really a bit uproar at the time, and many people with girls in the capital were still in a panic for a while." Our brothers also helped the government find the murderer, but unfortunately they didn't find any clues, and then it was gone. Why, Brother Yang, you will be interested in this when you are not in the capital at that time? ”
"It's not that I'm interested in this case, it's that it's in my hands right now." Yang Zhen said truthfully.
"This ......" Lin Tiande's face changed slightly, and he said with some embarrassment: "Brother Yang, if it's not that I, who is a brother, refuse to help you, this case is too strange, and we brothers can also sell their strength, it's really useless to check clues or something, are you looking for the wrong helper?" ”
"Brother Lin, you misunderstood, I didn't come here to ask you for clues, on the other hand, I have a clue here to tell you."
"Oh? What do you mean by that? ”
"I have found out a key thing from other sources, the women who were killed should not be from good families, but from the dust of the prostitution village. In other words, the murderer is also a person who has been in and out of this place, and if you want to track down his identity, you can only start from here. Speaking of this, Yang Zhen glanced at Lin Tiande with a solemn face: "Brother Lin should also know that although the forces of our Jinyi Guard in the capital are not young or old, but when they really reach that place of three religions and nine streams, they are still not able to catch it." Therefore, I want to ask Brother Lin for a favor today, and use your power to find out the identity of the murderer. ”
Lin Tiande understood Yang Zhen's intentions at this time, and felt a little strange in his heart: "How could he come to such a conclusion?" This is somewhat inconsistent with some of the information I have. But there was no doubt on his face, he just frowned and said: "Since you opened your mouth as Brother Yang, I, as an elder brother, will naturally help you." However, this is not an easy thing to do. Men in the world don't dare to say everything, but at least eighty percent of them like this tune, and there are countless men in the capital who are looking for fun. ”
Yang Zhen nodded understandingly: "What Brother Lin said is that if it is just such a little clue, of course it is impossible to find out the identity of the murderer." But how could I be so embarrassed Brother Lin, besides that, I have another clue that can help you find him. ”
"But what?" Lin Tiande suddenly became interested and hurriedly asked.
"This person's status is not low, and he also has a certain status in the officialdom, either as a high-ranking official or as a powerful person, as long as Brother Lin, you follow these two clues to investigate, you can always gain something." Yang Zhen subconsciously lowered his voice.
"This ......" Lin Tiande couldn't hide the doubts in his heart this time, and couldn't help but ask: "Brother Yang, don't you feel that there is a big contradiction between the two?" If the murderer is as powerful as you say, how can there be fewer women? Why did he go to those dusty women? ”
"That's what I'm feeling weird about, but that's what I've gotten so far. Therefore, I want to use Brother Lin's power to investigate this matter, I wonder if you are willing to help me with this? Of course, if Brother Lin really feels that doing this may offend some people and be very unfavorable to you, he will not be reluctant, you can refuse my request. Yang Zhen said and picked up the tea bowl and drank the water slowly, without putting any more pressure on the other party.
Lin Tiande groaned over there, and after a while, he raised his head suddenly: "To be honest, when you are a brother, you are really afraid that this matter will bring trouble to yourself and your brothers." However, what we people in the rivers and lakes talk about the most is the word Xinyi, since I have promised you that you will help you investigate this case, there is no possibility of retreating from difficulties. Rest assured, I'll help you find out who he is. ”
"Thank you Brother Lin for that." Seeing that he agreed so happily, Yang Zhen was also quite grateful in his heart, and hurriedly arched his hand and said: "As long as Brother Lin has anything to use for his junior brother in the future, I, Yang Zhen, will definitely not refuse." ”
"Brother Yang is a little out of sight when he says this, the reason why I help you is just because I treat you as a good brother, not because I want you to return you in the future." Lin Tiande laughed, looking even more heroic and generous.
Now that he has finished talking about the business and has received the other party's assurance, there is no need for Yang Zhen to continue to stay here. After another round of greetings and politeness, he got up and said goodbye under the pretext that there was still something in the pacification department. Lin Tiande naturally sent it out of the gate very respectfully again.
It wasn't until after doing these things and returning to the guest hall with a group of brothers that his confidant brother Liu Sui frowned and said carefully: "Boss, you shouldn't have agreed to Yang Zhen about this." This matter is not a simple murderer, but a powerful man with a lot of power, if we let that person know that it is us who found him, Yang Zhen, the brocade guard, should be fine, but our brother's life will not be easy. Moreover, now there are still a lot of discord between Yang Zhen and Gonggong Feng, and you are still helping him do things at this time, aren't you afraid that the second master will not be able to explain it? ”
"Of course, I know it's tricky, but the more difficult things are done, the more people will accept our affection. Since Yang Zhen and a person in the officialdom dare to investigate the truth of this case, we people in the rivers and lakes don't have to be afraid. As for Tianxing, I always feel that Feng Bao is unreliable as a eunuch, so why not find another way? This Yang Zhen is said to have won the trust of the emperor, and he has a certain friendship with us, so it is always right to make friends with him. Lin Tiande patted Liu Sui on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry about this kind of thing anymore, the most important thing now is to help Yang Zhen find out about the matter!" ”
