After coming to Gao Biying's temporary residence, Xiang Luyang asked straight to the point: "I saw in the town just now, Brother Gao's coffin is still listening in the courtyard, what's going on?" ”

Gao Biying sighed and said: "My eldest brother suffered a misfortune, and the two groups of people under him made a fuss, accusing each other of killing my brother, and before the truth was clarified, both parties did not agree to be buried."

"Before I came back, they had been facing each other and not giving in to each other, and after I came back last night, I met with the leaders of the two gangs twice, and listened to their respective opinions, and this is not the time to ask them to meet this afternoon, and the two of you have arrived."

Xiang Luyang said: "After you meet them, what do you think of this matter, does Big Brother Gao's death have anything to do with them?" ”

Gao Biying said: "What both of them said has a certain basis, and I hesitated for a while, just when you came, you can help me analyze the causes and consequences of this matter." ”

Xiang Luyang smiled and said, "You don't need to tell me the specific content of their conversation, I'll help you analyze it briefly first." ”

"When I was having dinner with Aotian in the tavern just now, the owner of the tavern told us that Brother Gao's subordinates have always been divided into two factions, one faction is the main battle, and the other faction advocates Zhao'an, and I have also seen Brother Gao, he has always figured out Guò's own efforts to change the current status quo, so he will definitely not support Zhao'an, if Brother Gao's death is really related to his subordinates, I will focus on suspicion and support Zhao'an's side."

"Because Brother Gao has always supported the main battle faction, if Brother Gao dies and the main battle faction loses its backing, with the cooperation of officers and soldiers from outside, the main war faction can easily achieve its goal."

After listening to Xiang Luyang's words, Gao Biying said: "I have also thought about what you said, and I have always been suspicious of them, but judging from all kinds of signs, my eldest brother's death, even if it has anything to do with them, has little to do with it, because as far as I know about those people, no one among them can kill my eldest brother in a short period of time." ”

"If they're involved, it's just a tip-off at best."

Xiang Luyang said: "How did Brother Gao die, have you seen the corpse?" ”

Gao Biying said: "I haven't seen the corpse yet, the corpse has always been in the ice cellar of the barracks, and the coffin you see now is just an empty coffin." ”

Xiang Luyang said: "If conditions allow, I want to go and see Big Brother Gao's corpse, and then make the next step." ”

Gao Biying said: "Okay, you guys take a rest here first, wait for me for a while, and I'll arrange it." ”

After Gao Biying left, Shen Aotian said to Xiang Luyang: "Do you suspect that someone sent a message to Zhu Changming and them, and killed Brother Gao when they cooperated with each other?" ”

Xiang Luyang said: "It is very likely that this is the case, Brother Gao has always been in the barracks, and you have also seen this barracks, if outsiders come here, from the living environment to the dress of these people, it is difficult to tell who is the leader and who is the soldier here, not to mention the accurate finding of Big Brother Gao himself." ”

Shen Aotian nodded and said: "If this is the case, then the group of people who advocate Zhao'an, is it too obvious, if Brother Gao is killed, someone will suspect them at the first time." ”

Xiang Luyang said: "I know what you think, but the main battle faction has no reason to use their own backstage as a price to blame the opponent, so that even if they sit on the ground, the opponent will rise up to resist if they are wronged, and when the time comes, not only will their side lose the backstage, but they will also face the crazy revenge of the opponent, this kind of thing, if they are not stupid, they will not do it." ”

Shen Aotian said: "If things are really like what you analyzed, does that mean that those who advocate Zhao'an have already come into contact with the people in the imperial court?" ”

Xiang Luyang said: "At least a few leaders should have had contact with the people of the imperial court. ”

Shen Aotian said: "Then what should we do next, crack this case and kill those leaders?" ”

Xiang Luyang smiled bitterly and said: "It's not easy to solve the case, we just came, we don't know anything, just based on the results of our analysis, do you think those lords and factions will confess?" ”

Shen Aotian said: "Then what should I do, just watch them keep making trouble like this?" ”

Xiang Luyang said: "If you can't solve the case, it doesn't mean that you can't do it, when the time comes, you just listen to my arrangement, I will kill whoever you want, no matter who it is, don't hesitate, you will kill someone." ”

Shen Aotian said: "Don't dare to say anything else, I'm good at killing people, as long as you give an order, the head will be guaranteed to fall to the ground as soon as possible." ”

After the two discussed, Gao Biying also came back and said to Xiang Luyang: "Let's go, I've arranged everything, and we can go over now." ”

When Xiang Luyang, Shen Aotian, and Gao Biying walked out of Gao Biying's residence, there were already a few people standing there at the door, Gao Biying pointed at Xiang Luyang and said: "This is my brother's best friend Xiang Luyang and Brother Xiang, and the batch of gold we transported back from the capital was sent by Brother Xiang." ”

After Gao Biying's introduction, a big man with a beard on his face hugged his fists and said: "In Xia Hu Jinquan, I have been working under Boss Gao on an errand boy, and I often hear Boss Gao mention you, but I have never had a chance to see each other." ”

After Hu Jinquan finished speaking, Gao Biying said to Xiang Luyang: "Brother Hu has always been my eldest brother's right and left hand, all these years of blocking and killing, Brother Hu has always been at the forefront, and he is the first fierce general under my brother's account." ”

Hearing Gao Biying say this, Xiang Luyang knew that this Hu Jinquan must be the leader of the main battle faction, so Xiang Luyang hugged his fists and said, "I've seen Brother Hu!" ”

The two of them exchanged a few polite words, and Gao Biying introduced a man in his thirties and dressed in a long robe to Xiang Luyang and said: "This is my brother's military advisor, Mr. Song Zhesong, and we are also the most knowledgeable person, and Mr. Song is responsible for all the finances and business dealings with the outside world during my brother's lifetime." ”

After introducing Song Zhe, Xiang Luyang saw Gao Biying give him a look, and he understood what was going on, it seemed that this Song Zhe was the leader of the Lord and faction.

Looking at the polite Song Zhe, Xiang Luyang hugged his fists and said: "I have admired Mr. Song's name for a long time, and I saw him today, Xiang is really fortunate in his three lives." ”

When Xiang Luyang greeted Hu Jinquan, he called Brother Hu, and when he greeted Song Zhe, he called Mr.

Song Zheyi hugged his fists and said: "Lord Xiang can still come to attend Boss Gao's funeral despite his busy schedule, it seems that reckless people may not be able to be friends with people in the court!" ”

Hearing Song Zhe say this, Xiang Luyang knew that this Song Zhe was not simple, not only had he been secretly paying attention to Gao Biying's actions, and he had made it clear what was going on around Gao Biying, but he also told his identity at the first time, the purpose was to let Hu Jinquan have an opinion about himself, and then pull himself into his camp.
