In a small border county like Qiqi, the people are fierce, and the public order has always been not very good. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Coupled with the Yoro Rebellion some time ago, half of the county was in chaos, and dead people are common, let alone missing.

Therefore, the door-breaking attack on the house where Yizhu and Xiao Xin lived, in the eyes of Lan Zuo, was just another headless case. After a hasty investigation, they handed over the files into the temple, and hung them up, hoping that they would solve the case and arrest the murderer, and it was estimated that they would have to wait until the Western Han Dynasty perished.

Of course, this is also because no one has linked this case to the highest-ranking person at the moment, otherwise the efficiency would be very different.

Of course, Zhang Fang would not count on these assistants, he could only use the strength of his henchmen to investigate.

Seven days after Lord Yi's disappearance, Zhuo Bihai was covered in mud and hurriedly walked into the West Courtyard of Taishou Mansion.

Zhang Fang put down the book in his hand and nodded: "Mr. has worked hard, how did you find out?" ”

Zhuo Bihai shook his head.

Zhang Fang stroked his jaw and was silent. Due to the sensitive identity of the owner, he could not send the period menlang and the officials and Ding servants to search for him with great fanfare. can only rely on his own limited followers to do some targeted searches, one counts as one, and even Zhuo Bihai was invited by him to help.

In fact, he also knew that such an aimless search would not lead to anything. Needless to say, the captivity of the Lord must have come against him. If it's a captive by the Yelang people, it's okay, the other party will definitely make a request to him. If someone from Chang'an comes, it will be troublesome.

Therefore, the only thing Zhang Fang can do at the moment is to obtain information from the sentinels who have set up checkpoints on the two roads on the land and water to check whether there are any suspicious people. These two checkpoints were set up by Chen Li after he took office, and the purpose was to prevent the Yi people from going east or north to spy on the grain and armor transported from Jingzhou. If it is from the direction of Chang'an, most of them will not be able to run. The most afraid is that the other party does not go east but west, and takes Bashu. The southwestern part of the temple is the territory of Yelang, and the hand of the Taishou of the Buddha cannot reach here......

The current situation is that the chess is the first move, and the steps are passive, except for waiting, you can only wait - if it is a Yelang person, wait for them to come and put forward conditions; If it was a Chang'an person, he also made arrangements, and when the other party entered Chang'an, he would see the opportunity to act.

At this time, Han Zhong came in and reported: "Childe, there is a Yiren who asks to see you." ”

During this time, the marshals of various towns who arrived one after another came to pay a visit, and Zhang Fang didn't care, and asked casually: "Did you vote for a wooden thorn?" ”

In the southwestern border, the spread of advanced culture is slow, and the Central Plains has been popularized to the county-level paper office, but bamboo and wood tablets are still used in the county. When the marshals of each town came to pay a visit, the famous thorn delivered was not bamboo or wood, so it was called "wood thorn".

Han Chong shook his head, his face was a little strange, and something appeared in his hand: "He gave me this, saying that Gongzi will understand after reading it." ”

Zhang Fang raised his eyes and looked at it, his face changed slightly: "Take it." ”

Han Zhong respectfully presented it, but muttered in his heart: "No matter how you look at this crescent jade, it looks like a woman's belongings, could it be the daughter and son of this Yi family......"

This is a knuckle-sized crescent-shaped white jade, strung with red rope, and the jade quality is the best mutton fat jade, but it is too small to talk about invaluable. Judging from the shape, it should be a woman's pendant.

Zhang Fang is very familiar with this pendant, he has been sitting in the car for several months, and he is too familiar to be familiar - this is the jade pendant hanging on the neck of Lord Yi.

Great, I was worried that I couldn't find anyone, so I sent it to the door.

Zhang Fang put his five fingers together: "Where are the Yi people?" ”

"Waiting outside the house."

"Bring him in." Zhang Fang winked.

Han Zhong was stunned for a moment, pressed the handle of the knife with his hand, his expression was solemn, and he turned around and rushed out.

Zhuo Bihai saw that the master and servant had a different expression, and was about to ask. Zhang Fang lit up the jade pendant to him: "This is the thing on the missing maid." ”

Zhuo Bihai immediately understood, and immediately took the Ziying bamboo, put it on his lap, and nodded to Zhang Fang to indicate that it was okay.

When Han Zhong took the Nayi people into the hall, Zhuo Bihai jumped up and blocked in front of Zhang Fang, with a bamboo cane and a halberd, and his beard was open: "It's you!" He was the one who injured Xiao Xin's lady! ”

Han Chong's scalp exploded, and he actually brought in a fierce beast. He turned suddenly, drew his sword, and rested it on Yiren's neck.

The person who came was not afraid, stretched out his fingers like chicken claws and knocked on the blade of the knife, and bared his teeth at Han Chong: "Little guy, hold it steady, if you accidentally cut something, your master wants to ask, and I can't answer." ”

Zhang Fang raised his hand: "Mi Lang, collect the knife, people dare to come to the door alone, how can we lose our manners?" ”

Yiren let out an ugly quack laugh: "The Marquis of Fuping is the Marquis of Fuping, with bearing and elegance, much stronger than the envoy who was also surnamed Zhang last time." ”

Han Zhong stared at the protruding green tendons (blood vessels) on the thin ridged neck under the blade, and he really had an urge to pull away. However, he could only restrain himself, silently put away the knife, and moved to the side of Yiren, the knife was not in the sheath, and he stared at it, but if there was a change, it was a knife.

Yiren's eyes turned to Zhuo Bihai on the side, and squinted: "You are very powerful, I have written down this account, and I will pay it back soon." ”

Zhuo Bihai said lightly: "Zhuo is here to wait, ready to accompany you." ”

Yiren stretched out his finger and tapped him a few times, but ignored it again. Turning to Zhang Fang, the big thorn arched his hand as a salute: "Yelang Nongxi, I have seen the Han envoy." ”

Zhang Fang spread out his palm, revealing the crescent pendant: "The owner of this thing is in your hands?" ”

Nongxi raised his head and crossed his arms and said proudly: "Exactly." ”

"Why did you kidnap my maid?"

"Why did the Han envoy come to the Qiang?"

"If you guys are more peaceful, I won't have to come."

"The mountains are barbaric, and I never know what it means to be safe."

One reprimanded harshly, the other was not to be outdone, and such a conversation could not continue at all.

"In that case, don't talk nonsense, Ben Hou gives you two choices." Zhang Fang's expression was indifferent, and he said the word "two" to Nongxibi, "First, return the person intact." From you, so those who are involved in this matter will cut off their arms and apologize. Second, do not hand over people, keep arming, waiting for the severed head. Which do you choose? ”

As Zhang Fang's wording became more and more severe, Han Chong's knife was slowly raised, and there was a posture of slashing and killing at any time.

Nongxi scoffed: "When I'm stupid? Fuping Hou, you have to make it clear that I didn't come today to live impatiently and send you to the door with a broken arm and a broken head, but to ask you to agree to three conditions. It's all done, and the person is absolutely intact and returned - rest assured, your beautiful maid, we are waiting for us to eat and drink, and not a single hair has been touched. ”

"Three conditions? Do you still want to put forward conditions? Zhang Fang's eyes were full of ridicule.

"Yes, first ......"

"I don't want to hear any conditions, and I won't agree to any." Zhang Fang didn't listen to Nongxi's nonsense at all, and flatly refused, "You have thrown yourself into the net, and you can't protect yourself, and you are not qualified to put forward any bullshit conditions to me!" ”

"Fuping Hou, you have to figure it out!" "If I can't go back, she can't come back." ”

Zhang Fang shook his head indifferently: "Wrong! You can't go back, she can come back. ”

Nongxi's pupils contracted, and she was stubble: "You really don't care about her life?" ”

Zhang Fang didn't pay attention to it at all, and asked again: "Give you the last chance - where are the people?" ”

Nong Xi puffed out his goldfish eyes, raised three fingers, and gritted his teeth: "Three conditions, promise to live, refuse to accept the corpse......"

Boom! Zhang Fang slapped the case again: "Answer incorrectly, take it!" ”
