"Official, it's my fault, I didn't expect that our Xinxiang would be mixed with so many people with evil intentions!"

It was already dawn, Yu Guozhen had just started to work, and Gao Erzhu appeared in front of him with a pair of red eyes.

"Don't talk about this, what do you have to do with it, Xinxiang is going to increase hundreds of thousands of people every year, there are always some snakes and rats mixed in, and there are fewer of them that have been pulled out by you over the years?" Yu Guozhen smiled dumbly: "I haven't caused any losses, even if I don't catch them all this time, it will be a deterrent to these guys, and they don't dare to act rashly." ”

This fireworks show was originally a bureau. During the defensive battle of Longmen Island, after someone took advantage of the chaos to enter the steam engine ship manufacturing workshop, and even killed a tiger guard and injured Hua Youzhi, Yu Guozhen was very vigilant about this. But these people were very well hidden, and after the investigation, they only knew that the two people were shipwrights who came from Fujian four years ago, and because they knew about shipbuilding, they were arranged on Longmen Island. It's just that their technology is average, so they can't get in touch with the core of shipbuilding technology, at most they learn the structure of the clipper.

And these two people actually escaped from Longmen Island later, and when they were found again, they were already two corpses - not suicide, but extermination.

This means that Xinxiang still has a large number of enemies lurking, Yu Guozhen did not make a noise at that time, first left Xinxiang to make the lurkers think that he did not care about it, and then held a fireworks show to give the lurkers a chance to get up and act.

As he expected, these lurkers were fooled, and the clowns who jumped off the beam did not see the light of day. But there are also things that Yu Guozhen didn't expect, in addition to the lurkers who wanted to steal Xinxiang's technical information. I also want to assassinate him.

It was not the first time that the Assassin Yu Guozhen had encountered him, and he himself was not afraid, but this group of Assassins reminded him of the assassination of Fang Ziyi in the Jingshi in the first place.

"Is the result of the trial?" Yu Guozhen asked.

"All three committed suicide, and to no avail." Gao Erzhu was a little ashamed: "None of the rest of the people knew these three people, and in addition, they investigated the surrounding relationships of the rest of the people, their neighbors, and colleagues. They also said that they had never seen these three people contact them. ”

"It seems to be a headless case." Yu Guozhen was a little irritable in his heart, what he was most worried about was not his own safety, but Fang Ziyi and others. Before that. The security of Xinxiang is generally very good, Fang Ziyi and Fang Zining sisters are simple and obedient, visiting shops and streets. This kind of thing is not less, but from now on, when they go out again, they are afraid that they will have to bring a bunch of people.

"When I came, Mr. Zhang Chi went to see the deceased, and I don't know if he can see some famous people." Gao Erzhu said again.

"I'm afraid it's difficult, although Mr. Zhang has been under Shi Kefa's account for a long time to make money, food and punishment, but this case is ......"

As he was talking, he saw Hua Youzhi push open the door, and Zhang Chi walked in slightly excitedly. After he saw Yu Guozhen, he said, "My lord, it's the person who built the captivity. ”

"Oh?" Yu Guozhen perked up: "How can you judge it?" ”

"I checked the files. These people all came from Liaodong two years ago, and they are said to be Han people who fled, so they have already guessed that the tenth ** is a traitor sent by Jianyu. And then, from these people. One feature I noticed was that there was a thick callus on my index finger. The work of several of them was found out, they were all farmers in the farm, and it was normal to have calluses in their palms, but it was not normal to have calluses on their knuckles, which was pulled by the bow. Zhang Chi smiled: "Then I looked at their original file registration. It was found that they were only recognized as farmers from Liaodong, and they all chose "whether they have learned archery" in the specialty column, and although the three of them came to Xinxiang in different batches, there were quite a lot of similarities in the information that could be registered. It is conceivable that only Jianyu in Liaodong will consciously organize this kind of lurking. Moreover, from the information registered by the three people, we can roughly summarize a rule, and we can focus on the investigation of people from Liaodong who register in this way......"

Gao Erzhu's face was quite ashamed, and Yu Guozhen glared at him. What Zhang Chi is talking about is not a clever detection method, even a skilled criminal master and pestle have this ability, Gao Erzhu was brought up by Yu Guozhen, and he has talent in this area, how can he not know this!

He was just weak-hearted, and he was in a hurry to find Yu Guozhen's explanation, so he came before he reached a conclusion. In the final analysis, after all, he is still young and has few things, and when he encounters such a major event as Yu Guozhen's assassination, he is calm on the surface, but he is actually panicked.

On the contrary, it is not as calm as an old official like Zhang Chi, who is nearly forty years old.

"Since Mr. Zhang sees so many suspicions, Erzhu, you should check according to Mr. Zhang's prompts, and I think there are accomplices. Note that it is better to let one or two go than to wronged your own people, during this time, I will ask the Tiger Guard to strengthen the protection of key people. Yu Guozhen ordered.

He didn't blame Erzhu very much, like the big pillar, Erzhu's game was smaller after all, and he needed to keep honing and improving himself in the training. It is Yu Guozhen himself who is constantly summarizing his past, and only in this way can he ensure that he will not make the same mistakes one after another.

This time Gao Erzhu's actions were very fast, and Yu Guozhen's order was also a knock and a warning to him, so he carried it out to the letter. It only took half a month to completely crack a gang lurking in Xinxiang, but Zhang Chi's conjecture was still wrong, the true identity of this group of assassins turned out to be Guan Ningjun!

"No...... Make a mistake? ”

It was Yu Guozhen, who didn't expect this to be the result, his eyes widened. Jianyu wants to assassinate him, that's normal, although the relationship between Guan Ningjun and him is not harmonious, but there is also some friendship, he sold a lot of Jianyu's first achievements and Guan Ningjun, why did they do this assassination?

"The people sent by Wu Xiang, the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, and his son Wu Sangui." The high second pillar is definitely authentic.

If it weren't for Gao Erzhu mentioning it, Yu Guozhen would have almost forgotten about Wu Xiang and Wu Sangui. At the beginning, he also met Wu Sangui and calculated the gold he brought from his hometown, and this precious metal also became an important capital for him at the beginning of the development of Xinxiang. Over the years, Yu Guozhen's influence in the Ming Dynasty has risen extremely rapidly, while Wu Xiang and Wu Sangui are still only one of the many general generals in Liaodong, and they are not big names at all.

However, Yu Guozhen still has the information of their father and son in his hands.

Wu Xiang had a very good relationship with Gao Qiqian, and in the battle between the 11th and early 12th years of Chongzhen's invasion of Gyeonggi and Shandong, a large number of officials were executed for their crimes, but Chongzhen not only did not punish Gao Qiqian, but trusted him more. After the generals were defeated by Jianlu or died in the imperial court, Wu Xiang, the originally deposed general, was promoted to the general of Shanhaiguan, and then to the deputy general of Liaodong, and his status gradually became prominent.

Knowing that it was a dead soldier sent by the Wu family, it is not difficult to guess the reason, but I am afraid that Wu Sangui already knows that it was Yu Guozhen who provoked him to oppose Liu Zeqing in the small village outside Jinling City.

Yu Guozhen didn't know that behind this, there was also Zhang Pu's strength. Zhang Pu had already guessed that it was Yu Guozhen who robbed him of the gold he used to operate Zhou Yanru's recovery, and he kept it silent, but when he secretly informed Wu Chang, he quietly sent someone to tell Wu Sangui. Zhang Pu wants to deal with Yu Guozhen, but he doesn't just hope for Zhou Yanru alone, Wu Xiang and Wu Sangui's father and son are the backhands he secretly keeps.

"Put forward a few people sent by Jianyu, plant the assassination on their heads, and then invite Chen Zilong to come." Yu Guozhen put his hands behind his back, walked around the office twice, and suddenly spoke.

Gao Erzhu was slightly stunned: "Jianyu? ”

"Hmm." Yu Guozhen pouted with a sneer at the corner of his mouth: "Wu Xiang and Wu Sangui are just clowns jumping off the beam in my eyes, they can't do anything, but this assassination can become an opportunity!" ”

Gao Erzhu didn't quite understand, but he had recently made a mistake and didn't dare to say more, so he left as he said.

When Chen Zilong received Yu Guozhen's invitation, he was inevitably stunned for a long time.

He really didn't want to come to see Yu Guozhen, because during this time, every time he met Yu Guozhen, most of the time he broke up unhappily.

No matter how much he emphasized the law of the imperial court and the dignity of the Ming Dynasty, but his order as the governor of Qin'zhou could not be passed on without Yu Guozhen's permission, and his Zhizhou yamen could not be passed on - although it had been repaired by Wang Chuanyu, this Zhizhou yamen was afraid that it was the most magnificent and largest yamen in the whole Ming Dynasty, and there was even a special stargazing platform, but Chen Zilong and Wang Chuanlu had different interests and hobbies, and he didn't want to stay in the yamen all day long to do those practical experiments!

Therefore, it is rare to go to see Yu Guozhen, persuade with loyalty and righteousness, and infect with righteousness, but when it comes to dialectics, where is he Yu Guozhen's opponent. Yu Guozhen didn't even need to say anything else, and repeated a sentence, "Since the imperial court is so great, bright and correct, why should you be suspicious of me", it was enough to make him speechless.

He also heard about Yu Guozhen's assassination some time ago, and deep in his heart, he was also extremely worried that this was the work of the factory guard. If this is the case and forces Yu Guozhen to rebel, then how should he deal with it?

He doesn't do anything to take refuge in the thief, it seems that he can only learn from Yan Zhenqing.

Thinking of this, he called a rickshaw and went out of the yamen.

Although he still has a sedan chair in Zhizhou, he has less time to go out, because almost everywhere in Qin'zhou is connected to water' dirt roads, and the sedan chair driver in addition to occasionally carrying the sedan chair, more often, still pedals a rickshaw for him. The three-wheeled rickshaw covered with wooden planks and canvas outside ran much faster than the sedan chair, so that the group of officials had to always trot behind, but every time he went to Xinxiang, Chen Zilong did not take the officials, so as not to misunderstand Yu Guozhen.

It was only a little more than an hour's journey from Qin'zhou to Xinxiang, and when he was brought to Yu Guozhen, he couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Yu Guozhen's gloomy face.

"There are traitors in the court, and there are villains around the Son of Heaven!" As soon as Yu Guozhen opened his mouth, he said angrily.

This remark made Chen Zilong's heart jump, he knew that Yu Guozhen was about to have a seizure.

"Mr. Wozi, do you know that the people who assassinated me a few days ago, as well as the people who came out to meet the assassins during the fireworks show in Xinxiang, have now confessed." Yu Guozhen stared at Chen Zilong: "The assassin was sent by Jianyu, but the person who responded was sent by the imperial court, and someone in the imperial court wanted to be Qin Hui and wanted me to be Yue Wumu!" ”

Chen Zilong's hands and feet were suddenly cold. (To be continued)
