Chapter 8: Yang Chenglie (II)

Yang Rui sent it to the door yesterday, and he took the opportunity to get mad, wanting to test Yang Chenglie's true attitude.

Unexpectedly, Yang Chenglie saw through his intentions at a glance.

Fortunately, Yang Chenglie did not pursue it, but looked at Yang Dafang's spiritual position, and said softly with tears in his eyes: "Daddy, my son has recovered, your many years of hard work have not been in vain, and you can rest assured under Jiuquan." ”

After speaking, he motioned for Yang Shouwen to come over and kowtow to Yang Dafang.

"Ajinu, since you have recovered, then live a good life in the future, and don't fight recklessly.

Although I am the county lieutenant of Changping, it doesn't mean that you can run amok here. Changping is very complicated, the Khitan rebellion in the first two years, although it was finally suppressed by the imperial court, does not mean that they will become honest. Now that the imperial court has set up a lonely bamboo in the northwest, the situation is even more complicated. The Khitans, Xi people, and Turks are arrogant, and you'd better be honest.

Originally, I was going to let you go to the yamen for some training.

But now that Erlang has made the clothes, you will honestly stay here, and you can be regarded as holding a funeral for your grandfather on behalf of your father.

Over the years, you have been confused, demented, and have lost a lot of time. It's rare that now that I'm sober, I can study hard at home. You don't have to worry about things in the county. I will not be missing you for the monthly expenses. In two years' time, when you can succeed in your studies, I will find another way for you...... In short, you just have to stay at home. ”

Yang Chenglie's words, but there is something in the words.

Yang Shouwen looked at him in amazement, realizing that Yang Chenglie meant to let him continue to pretend to be crazy and stupid, so as not to attract attention.

As for finding another way out......

What is the way out?

Why do you want to pretend to be crazy and stupid, why do you want to be a low-key person?

Yang Shouwen suddenly realized that things might not be as simple as he imagined!

However, Yang Chenglie was reluctant to say, and he did not ask again. only respectfully agreed, and accompanied Yang Chenglie out of the mourning hall.

"Daddy, the corpse at the entrance of the village, do you have eyebrows?"

Yang Chenglie glanced at him, frowned, and seemed to be a little impatient.

"This place is located at the intersection of Juyongguan, Guzhu and Changping, and the daily people are complex, how can we find out clearly? Besides, the fangs are rude, they like to fight bravely, and murder happens from time to time, so don't ask about it. ”

"But that man is not a fang."

Fangzi is a name given by the Han people to the Hu people such as Khitan, Turkic, and Xi people.

Yang Chenglie's eyes widened, "You know again?" ”

Yang Shouwen smiled bitterly: "Daddy, don't think that the child is still as stupid as before, and he can't even distinguish between a fangzi and a Han person." Although the man had a fang's hairstyle, his eyebrows were Han Chinese, which was very obvious.

Before you came, the child had carefully examined the man's body.

His hands are rough and his knuckles are thick, and at first glance he looks like a peasant. But between his legs, there was a very obvious old skin, which was obviously caused by a long period of riding. How can a person who lives on horseback all year round be a farmer? Also, he has a lot of wounds on his body, and although he has been deformed by the rain, he can still see that they are sword scars. If you look closely, you should be an extraordinary warrior in your lifetime, and you should be a skilled samurai. ”

Yang Chenglie's eyes narrowed, looked at Yang Shouwen, and was silent for a long time.

To be honest, he didn't expect Yang Shouwen to achieve anything, it was enough to be safe and secure for a lifetime.

As for the reason, he didn't want to say and couldn't say.

didn't expect Yang Shouwen's observation to be so good, and he only came to his senses and could see so many problems.

Yang Chenglie suddenly had a strong curiosity, and after hesitating for a long time, he said softly: "What else do you see?" ”

Yang Shouwen thought for a while, and then said: "This person should have been killed last night, and he had fought with three knives and four people before he died. ”

"How so?"

"He had stab wounds, sword wounds, but fatal, he was wounded with arrows.

Therefore, the child felt that there were at least three, maybe even four, people besieging him. Moreover, the area around the scene where the body was found was too neat and clean, not like a fight scene. After seeing the corpse at that time, the child felt that he must have been abandoned...... With such a heavy rain yesterday, it is impossible for the murderer to abandon the body too far after the killing. So the child walked along the mountain road into the mountains, and found obvious traces of a fight in the tail of the sheep, which was probably the real scene. ”

"Sheep's tail?"

Yang Chenglie heard this, and couldn't help but nod slightly.

"How do you know that it will be a sheep's tail, not on the official road?"

"If it is on an official road, the terrain is wide, and it is not suitable for ambushes. Moreover, if the deceased was ambushed on the official road, there would be a village three miles to the south, and a military camp five miles to the south. Last night's heavy rain came suddenly, if I were a murderer, I would never set up an ambush on the official road, it is too easy to alarm others, too easy to be discovered, and it is easier for the deceased to escape. ”

Yang Chenglie didn't know if it was okay, so he lowered his head and pondered.

After a moment, he asked, "What else do you see?" ”

"The child can also see that this person should have lived outside the Cyprus all year round."

"How?"

"He had rough skin, apparently suffering from the wind for many years, and still had frostbite on his body.

In addition, when I came back just now, the children in the village told me that they had seen the deceased enter the mountain yesterday and inquired about the location of the Maitreya Temple. If he lived in Guzhu, or if he was a person who often traveled to Changping, it would be impossible not to know where the Maitreya Temple was. He also gave the boy two pennies, and when I came back just now, I soaked the copper coin in hot water and found that the copper coin was very greasy. But if you live in Changping or Jianzhou, most of them will be affected, so pay attention to cleanliness. Only the Hu people outside the plug don't care about this, so there is so much grease on the copper coin. ”

After Yang Shouwen finished speaking, he pursed his lips and looked at Yang Chenglie.

saw that the corners of Yang Chenglie's mouth seemed to twitch twice inadvertently, and then he lowered his face and said: "All of this is just your assumption, and there is no evidence." I'll let Guan Hu take over this matter, and you don't have to ask about it again. ”

Guan Hu is Yang Chenglie's subordinate, and he is also the leader of the fast team in the yamen.

Generally speaking, there will be three classes of officials in the yamen, collectively referred to as subordinate officers. However, the division of labor is different, and there are different names. For example, on duty in the yamen, the two sides are separated during the trial, and the subordinate who escorts the prisoners and executes the torture is called Sooli, which is similar to the bailiff in the court; and the subordinate who is responsible for summoning the defendant Zheng Ren, detecting criminals, and searching for evidence, is named Kuaishou, just like the criminal police in later generations; In addition, there are also Minzhuang, who are on duty at city gates, prisons, and warehouses, and are responsible for patrolling urban and rural roads and dealing with emergencies...... This kind of people's strength is similar to the armed police in later generations.

The county lieutenant commanded the third squad, and Guan Hu was the head of the fast-handed squad of the arresting squad, also known as the head of the arresting squad, and he was also Yang Chenglie's henchman.

When Yang Shouwen heard Yang Chenglie say this, he knew that Yang Chenglie had believed what he said.

It's just that Yang Chenglie let him stand by and watch, and he was a little unhappy in his heart.

It's time to become famous!

Yang Shouwen is already seventeen years old, and he will be considered a Ding in another four years. He now very much wants to change everyone's opinion of him, hoping to help Yang Chenglie, at least to add some weight in Yang Chenglie's mind.

But now it seems that Yang Chenglie doesn't seem to want him to be in the limelight.

If he hadn't known that Yang Chenglie actually cared about him, Yang Shouwen might have been very angry.

But......

Presumably Dad must have his troubles, since Yang Chenglie is unwilling to let him show his face, Yang Shouwen has nothing to say.

"Okay, I have to rush back to the county seat and report the case to the county honor.

Let Erlang stay here for these two days, and I will have a banquet at the Maitreya Temple on August 15, if you have the heart, you can help Erlang; If you don't want to, don't bother. In short, don't ask about this matter again, otherwise let me know that the family law will serve. ”

Yang Chengyeol's voice suddenly became extremely high-pitched, and his tone was also very serious.

Yang Shouwen couldn't help but cry out in his heart, but he could only bow down and agree.

"Also, let Mother Yang clean the room, and tomorrow I will let your little lady and Qingnu come over too, just looking at you."

Qingnu is Yang Shouwen's half-sister.

Yang Shouwen had no way to refuse, so he could only grit his teeth and agree.

"Alright, then I'll go first."

After Yang Chenglie finished speaking, he walked out.

Yang Shouwen followed behind him, and when he saw Yang Chenglie getting on the horse outside the courtyard gate, he suddenly had an idea and stepped forward to grab the reins of the horse.

"Daddy, let's discuss something."

"What's the matter?"

"Give some change to spend, the child is sober now, but he doesn't have half a penny on him, and he wants to buy something sweet, but he is also shy in his pocket."
