Chapter 605: Chasing the Murderer (1)

It's dawn!

The morning sun in early winter is brilliant, but with a hint of coldness.

Yang Shouwen walked through the ruins of the Jincheng Post Station, and from time to time saw Minzhuang carrying the corpse out and placing it outside the post station.

In the early hours of the morning, he went to Jincheng.

After revealing his identity to the Jincheng County Order, he let the seal point a hundred people, and followed him to the ruins of the post station again. When they arrived at the station, the fire had not yet been extinguished. Fortunately, this time the assassins mainly targeted Yang Shouwen and his party, so they only burned the courtyard where Yang Shouwen and Mingxiu lived, and although the other houses were damaged, it was not serious.

"Wait!"

Two brave men walked over carrying a corpse, and Yang Shouwen reached out to stop them.

"Who is this?"

"Horse officer."

Yang Shouwen motioned for them to put the body down, and lifted the white cloth, revealing a miserable white face. This face, Yang Shouwen is no stranger, it is the post official of this post house. Yang Shouwen squatted down and carefully examined the post officer's body.

The officer's throat was slitted by a sharp blade, and blood soaked the placket of his chest.

Yang Shouwen frowned and observed, and after a while, he covered the post officer's face with a white cloth, got up and waved his hand, signaling Minzhuang to carry the body away.

On the side, the seal stood indifferently.

When he saw Yang Shouwen get up, he said, "Yang Jun, what can you see?" ”

"How long has this postman been here?"

"It's been more than ten years...... When the lower official took office, he worked as an errand in this post house, and he has always been very honest. ”

"Honest?"

Yang Shouwen glanced at the sealing situation, and the corners of his mouth twitched, revealing a mocking smile.

However, he didn't say anything, but went straight to the post officer's residence.

"Lao Ma is an honest man, he is silent on weekdays, and he doesn't talk much. He rarely went into the city, so he lived in a post house. The lower officials heard that he was a widower. He had a son who was killed by bandits while traveling abroad in his early years. When his lady learned the bad news, she fell ill and died not long after. After that, he lived alone. ”

"The county is very familiar with this horse officer."

"Oh...... I'm not very familiar with it, but he works under me, so the subordinate naturally needs to have some understanding. ”

Feng Qian's smile was a little unnatural.

Yang Shouwen nodded, and said in a deep voice: "The county is a good official who cares for his subordinates......"

As he spoke, he looked at the officer's quarters.

After a long time, he walked out of the room and said in a deep voice: "Most of the people who attacked me this time are fangs, I don't know if the county has any clues?" ”

Feng shook his head and said: "Around this golden city, there are many naturalized Hu people.

There are the Tibetans, the Tuyuhuns, the Turks and the Qiang...... Although these people have been naturalized, they do not live in the city on weekdays, but maintain their habits. The lower officials didn't have much to do with them, so they didn't know where these assassins came from. If the angel is interested, Xia Guan can find the leaders of the Hu people around him, and maybe there will be clues. ”

"Oh, not necessarily."

Yang Shouwen thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "I am on a business trip with the prince on the secret order of the saint, and I can't delay it for too long.

As soon as the Heyuan army arrived, I would leave for Luoyang...... It's better to leave this matter to the county to investigate it. If you have any clues, you can send someone to the god capital to tell me, or report it to the Tang Dudu. ”

"This ......"

Feng Guan sighed in his heart, subconsciously raised his head and looked at Yang Shouwen.

He found that Yang Shouwen did not pay attention to him, but focused his eyes on the ruins, with a thoughtful expression on his face.

"Why, the county is unwilling to take over this case?"

"Where, where ......" Feng Qian hurriedly waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "The angel was attacked in Jincheng, and it was the fault of the lower officials. Even if the angel doesn't say anything about this matter, the lower officials will investigate it to the end, and they will never let go of the thief who attacked the angel. ”

"In this way, I am relieved."

Yang Shouwen said: "I haven't closed my eyes all night, and now I'm tired, so I want to go back to the county government to rest." Then here, it will be handed over to the county. ”

"That's nature, that's nature."

Feng Guan nodded again and again, and found Yongzhuang to escort Yang Shouwen away.

Until Yang Shouwen's back disappeared, Feng Shi's face suddenly became gloomy, and his eyes flickered, as if he was thoughtful.

He instructed the third class of officials to continue the investigation, and he got on his horse and went straight to Jincheng County.

After returning to the county seat, he did not immediately return to the county office, but came to a stop in front of a dilapidated city god temple in the county seat.

He walked into the temple and looked to the left and right.

After making sure that no one was there, he took out a sachet from his waist, stuffed it under the base of the statue of the god of the city, and then hurried away......

+++++++++++++++++

"Jincheng County Order, there is definitely a problem."

After Yang Shouwen returned to the county office, he immediately found Mingxiu.

"I'm sure he was involved in the attack we had last night.

Moreover, the post officer should know the murderer...... The murderer's skills are not bad, and the knife is ...... quickly The post officer was cut by the other party face to face, and I am afraid that he was killed by the other party. Shiro, have you heard anything? ”

Mingxiu said in a deep voice: "Our lady of the county order left Jincheng with her child as soon as it was dawn.

Obviously, he also sensed the danger, so he let his wife and children leave. It's just that he didn't expect that it was us who was attacked, so when he first met us, he seemed very frightened and nervous...... Qingzhi, do you want to ......?"

Mingxiu made a gesture, meaning to say, do you want to take down the seal.

Yang Shouwen thought about it, shook his head and said, "Don't worry about it first, continue to stare at him."

I had a hunch that he would get in touch with the Assassins. When this happens, he always has to find a way out for himself.

When I was at the inn just now, I told him to take charge of investigating the matter.

I believe that he will feel pressured and will definitely discuss with the other party. From now on, let's keep an eye on him while waiting for the arrival of the Heyuan Army. ”

Speaking of this, Yang Shouwen smiled bitterly: "The Heyuan Army has not arrived, and it is not easy for us to move him." ”

Mingxiu thought about it and agreed with Yang Shouwen's opinion.

In any case, this situation is a Jincheng County order. Up and down this golden city, I am afraid that he is still the main one, and obeys the dispatch of the seal. And he and Yang Shouwen are outsiders after all, they don't have any power in their hands, and if they make a rash move, it is likely to make the sealing dog jump off the wall in a hurry.

Waiting, they now seem to have to wait for the right moment......

The closure seemed calm, and everything was normal.

At lunch, he also specially invited Yang Shouwen to a banquet, and at the banquet, he expressed his admiration for Yang Shouwen.

Yang Shouwen was also very polite, chatting and laughing with Feng Shi, and seemed to have forgotten about being stabbed.

This banquet lasted for two hours.

Yang Shouwen was a little drunk, so he said goodbye and returned to the room to rest.

It's getting dark.

Yang Shouwen's house was always pitch black, and it seemed that he had not woken up.

During this period, the closure came several times, and when I saw that Yang Shouwen was still asleep, he had no intention of waking up, so he had to leave in disappointment...... (To be continued.) )
