Zhao Xinle laughed dryly twice: "This ...... Although this boat gang is powerful, it is not very lucky......" Then I thought, how can I say that their plot to assassinate the lord did not succeed and was unlucky, isn't that clearly sympathetic to the boat gang? Zhao Xinle's head reacted quickly, and he said with some embarrassment: "No, no, it's because the lord is blessed and the stars shine brightly, and the gods take care of him. Hey. ”

Yang Qiuchi looked at Zhao Xinle meaningfully, smiled, and then said: "Cuihuan and Long Laohan knew that time was running out, so they immediately discussed and decided to kidnap Mrs. Peng's sweetheart, Young Master Peng, and force her to poison the official. ”

Zhao Xinle was a little frightened by Yang Qiuchi's meaningful smile just now, and when he heard this, he asked in disguise: "Sir, Cuihuan is also from Pengjiazhuang, why didn't she poison herself?" ”

"Because in the past two days, she has seen that only people like Mrs. Peng who can eat at the same table with me have the opportunity to be poisoned, and she and other subordinates have no chance."

"Oh? Why is that? Zhao Xinle glanced at Shui Wanqi and asked.

"Every meal served to the official is prepared under the strict supervision of my guards, including the wine banquet hosted by Peng Weng, and my guards must monitor the whole process. Personnel who have nothing to do with cooking are poisoned, and they can't even rely on the edges. This cuihuan is just Mrs. Peng's personal ring, and she can't get close to the side of the banquet, let alone touch the eating utensils. And the house slaves who serve the banquet have to go through the strict physical examination of my guards. These prefects must have seen it in the past two days. ”

Zhao Xinle nodded, and said with a smile: "At this point, Zhao also discovered that the lord is an important minister of the emperor and shoulders a heavy responsibility, and this defense is really strict enough." ”

Yang Qiuchi smiled: "This official has broken the Jianwen Yu Party and the Boat Gang, has been assassinated several times, and has died nine times, thanks to the favor of Long Live and given me the guards to defend themselves, for the sake of the country and the society, and for the safety of the official's personal wealth, I have to be careful." ”

Zhao Xinle nodded again and again, and said: "Yes, yes, these thieves are in the dark, murderous and cunning, and the means are all at their best, the lord should be cautious." ”

"Hehe, just now Governor Zhao has a saying that is very good: 'There is a lot of help for the righteous, and little help for the unjust', this boat gang trafficks illicit salt, kidnaps and extorts, kills people and extorts goods, and does all kinds of evil, this time they tried to kidnap Young Master Peng and coerce Mrs. Peng to assassinate the official, which is not tolerated, so their conspiracy was accidentally heard by the Wei family, and Wei lost was forced to tell the news to the official. The official sent people to capture them in one fell swoop in Lichun Garden, and successfully rescued Young Master Peng. After the interrogation of Cui Huan and Long Laohan, he confessed to the crime. ”

Peng Hexi understood now, it turned out that Yang Qiuchi had already cracked this insider kidnapping case, and just now he was just testing his own lady Shui Wanqi. If Shui Wanqi didn't stop the precipice, it would be over. Thinking of this, Peng Hexi was really scared for a while. However, if he wanted to know that Yang Qiuchi was the envoy of the Jinyi Guard commanded by the emperor, and assassinating the envoy was a rebellion and wanted to exterminate the nine clans, then he would still be afraid.

Zhao Xinle applauded exaggeratedly: "The lord is clever, and the thief is captured in one fell swoop, which is really happy!" Hahaha. ”

Yang Qiuchi smiled, stared at Zhao Xinle and asked, "Lord Prefect, don't you want to know who gave Cuihuan's instructions?" ”

Zhao Xinle said with some embarrassment: "It's better that one less person knows about such a confidential matter." ”

Yang Qiuchi nodded: "The prefect knows how to keep secrets." He turned to look at Peng Hexi and said, "Peng Weng, what about you, do you know who instructed Cuihuan to them?" ”

Peng Hexi was stunned, why did Yang Qiuchi ask him here as he spoke, and faintly felt a little wrong, and shook his head: "Sir, I don't know, can I tell you?" ”

Yang Qiuchi glanced at the maid servants behind him, coughed, and didn't speak. Peng Hexi immediately understood, turned around and said, "You all retreat!" ”

The servants all agreed, and withdrew from the room.

Yang Qiuchi smiled at this time: "Peng Weng, Wu Ciren, the political envoy of the right branch of the province of Ling, has never met with this official, and he has never had any contact, why did he suddenly entrust your old man to invite this official to Enyang Town to watch the Fairy Festival?" Has Peng Weng ever thought about it? ”

"That's ...... It was my cousin's heart, knowing that the lord was a young talent and had an unlimited future in the future, so he deliberately stammered. ”

"Definitely!" Yang Qiuchi shook his head, "He is luring the snake out of the hole and luring the official out of the heavily guarded Bazhou Yamen, so as to find an opportunity to assassinate the official." Hehehehe, after all, it is much easier for this official to walk out of the yamen than to stay in the yamen of Bazhou. ”

Peng Hexi's surprise was not trivial, the earl who assassinated the super-first-class was a great crime, he was only trembling with fright, trembling and kneeling and kowtowing: "Wronged, the old cousin has no such intention, please be aware of it!" ”

Peng Hexi knelt down, Peng Laoqi and Shui Wanqi also hurriedly knelt down.

"Peng Weng, you haven't heard what the official has finished, don't worry." Yang Qiuchi smiled and helped Peng Hexi and the others up, and said, "This official also knows that the right political envoy has no intention of assassinating this official, and he has been taken advantage of. If he wants to assassinate his own official, he will never let Peng Weng invite me, wouldn't he set himself on fire like this? ”

When Peng Hexi heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief and said gratefully: "Thank you!" Thank you, sir, for your insight. He said hatefully: "Who used my cousin and almost killed my uncle and nephew, if you let the old man know, he will definitely be broken into ten thousand pieces!" ”

The old man trembled and said such cruel words, but it was like that. Yang Qiuchi said: "The official hasn't specifically investigated yet, once it is found out, it will naturally come to light." Peng Weng, please rest assured. ”

"Thank you, sir, for clearing our grievances!" Peng Hexi shuddered and thanked him.

Yang Qiuchi smiled: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say." I thought to myself, whether it was a grievance or not, I had to check it.

Early the next morning, Yang Qiuchi took his entourage and set off with Zhao Xinle to return.

Peng Hexi and his wife were frightened by a series of things this time, and they were grateful to Yang Qiuchi for rescuing their only son, and they also cleared their grievances for them, and out of the need to pat on the back, they gave Yang Qiuchi a heavy gift.

Returning to Bazhou, after a short rest, Yang Qiuchi interrogated the Wei mother and son, according to Wei's major meritorious service, and also for their mother and son to take care of each other, sentenced Wei's mother and son to both be 100 rods, 3,000 li, the sentence was later approved by the Criminal Department, and Wei's mother and son were safely sent all the way to the exile.

The important information provided by the Wei family also saved Yang Qiuchi in a sense, and also provided important clues to detect the boat gang, so Yang Qiuchi not only exempted them from capital crimes, but also rewarded Wei's mother and son with a generous bounty.

With this rich bounty, Wei's mother and son used the money to redeem the two from labor, bought real estate and property, and gave Shui Guzi a wife and children, and lived a stable life. This is an aside, press not the table.

For Cuihuan and Old Man Long, Yang Qiuchi ordered them to be imprisoned first, and after the boat gang case was solved, they would be dealt with together.

After having lunch in Bazhou, Zhao Xinle said goodbye to Yang Qiuchi and returned to Baoning Mansion, but Yang Qiuchi smiled and said that he immediately set off for Chengdu, Sichuan, and wanted to pass through Baoning Mansion, and happened to go all the way.

Zhao Xinle immediately understood that Yang Qiuchi was going to Chengdu to continue to investigate the kidnapping case and find out the real culprit behind the scenes. Yang Qiuchi brought Song Yun'er, Hong Aya, Master Jin and all the male and female escorts this time, handed over the affairs of the yamen to the adjutant to deal with, and then accompanied Zhao Xinle's men and horses, and two days later, came to Baoning Mansion.

Yang Qiuchi temporarily rested in Baoning Mansion, and did not live in his Tongzhi Internal Office, but directly lived in the Jinyi Wei Hundred Households in Yunyi.

Yun was very happy, and immediately set up a banquet for Yang Qiuchi to catch the wind, and told Yang Qiuchi that according to Yang Qiuchi's instructions last time, an investigation of Zhao Xinle and Zhao Governor's Mansion was being organized, and it was found that there were often some unfamiliar faces entering and leaving Zhao Governor's Mansion, but there was no major breakthrough.

Yang Qiuchi instructed Yun Xuan to step up investigation and surveillance. Zhao Xinle is only suspicious of this, and there is no evidence to prove that he is a member of the boat gang.

After the banquet was over, Yang Qiuchi and his party continued to leave for Chengdu.

Leaving Boryeong Mansion, Yang Qiuchi, Song Yun'er and Hong Aya rode on horseback. Song Yun'er chirped all the way, happy like a happy bird.

Yang Qiuchi smiled: "Yun'er, why are you so happy?" ”

Song Yun'er said: "Brother, I'm about to see my master, that is, your Liu ...... Senior, aren't you happy? ”

How could Yang Qiuchi be unhappy, calculating that Liu Ruobing's due date is about to arrive, at this time, there is a case to travel to Chengdu, taking care of both public and private affairs, how can he be unhappy, thinking of Liu Ruobing's cold and beautiful face, thinking of the enthusiasm of the two of them, I can't help but feel a little excited, and when I think of the child I am about to come to this world, I can't help but feel a strong happiness.

Yang Qiuchi looked into the distance: "I don't know what happened to Ruobing, I really hope to be able to step into Chengdu in one step." ”

Song Yun'er grinned: "Brother, are you going to investigate the case, or are you going to see my master?" ”

"Take care of both public and private affairs," Speaking of the case, Yang Qiuchi's heart was heavy, every case that had not yet been solved would make him feel an invisible pressure in his heart, "This case involves the political envoy of Youbu, and it is a little troublesome." ”

Song Yun'er asked in a low voice: "Brother, that Cuihuan said that she kidnapped Peng Jiafu and coerced Shui Wanqi to poison you, and it was instructed by Miss Tong Qiaozhen, the daughter of the right political envoy, do you think she is telling the truth?" ”

Yang Qiuchi pondered for a moment and said, "This is what we want to find out this time." It's hard to say until it's clear, but what Cuihuan said is reasonable, and it doesn't look like he's lying. ”

Song Yun'er also nodded: "I see too, it doesn't look like she's fake, besides, this kind of thing, whether it's true or not, you will know it as soon as you ask, and you can let them confront them when necessary, isn't it clear." ”

Yang Qiuchi nodded: "That's why I asked Nangong Xiong to use Jinyiwei 800 li to urgently notify Shen Shisheng of Jinyiwei Qianhu in Sichuan Province, and asked him to organize the monitoring of the political envoy and his daughter Tong Qiaozhen." ”

It turned out that after the Wei clan told Yang Qiuchi the news he heard, Yang Qiuchi immediately sent Nangong Xiong with guards to arrest Cuihuan and Long Laohan hidden in Lichun Garden, rescued Young Master Peng, and then interrogated Cuihuan and Long Laohan respectively.

Cuihuan confessed that when she accompanied Peng Hexi and Shui Wanqi to Chengdu to visit Peng Hexi's cousin Wu Ciren, Wu Ciren's daughter Tong Qiaozhen privately gave Cuihuan a letter sealed with fire paint, Cuihuan opened it and saw that she was instructed to use the opportunity of Peng Hexi to invite Yang Qiuchi to Enyang Town to spend the Fairy Festival, looking for a suitable opportunity to assassinate Yang Qiuchi, and there was a small bag containing poison in the envelope.

The letter was stamped with the special identification symbol of the boat gang and was believed to be genuine. Cuihuan burned the secret letter after reading it, and then organized the attempted coercion poison murder.

According to Cuihuan's confession, Yang Qiuchi immediately wrote a secret letter, stamped it with the seal of his command envoy, and instructed Nangong Xiong to send Jinyi guards to send the secret letter to Chengdu Jinyi Wei Qianhu Office through Jinyiwei for 800 miles, and handed it over to Shen Shisheng of Qianhu Qianhu, so that he could organize control. Subsequently, he led the team to Chengdu.

Song Yun'er said: "Will this Shen Shisheng be like Zhou Fahai and Zhou Baihu of Baoning Mansion, who was bought by the boat gang and came to the nest?" ”

Yang Qiuchi muttered: "There is such a possibility, we have to guard against this." ”

Song Yun'er hurriedly said: "Then what if he reports the news and lets the political envoy and his daughter run away?" ”

Yang Qiuchi smiled: "I have already thought about this, first of all, according to common sense, Wu Ciren's political envoy should not be a member of the boat gang, otherwise, he is purely setting himself on fire, and it is based on this judgment, so I told Peng Hexi part of the truth about this matter, so that they can actively help me find the real culprit behind it in order to clear their grievances." ”

"And what if you misjudge?" Song Yun'er now likes to deliberately find ballast.

"Hehe, if he is really a member of the boat gang, my trick is to startle the snake, now the enemy is in the dark, we are in the light, it is very bad for us, just like the snake in the grass, you don't know where it is, it is very dangerous, but if you see where it is, it is much less of a threat to you, and you can also smash his head with one stone."

"Hehe, it seems to make a lot of sense," Song Yun'er nodded, and said with a smile: "Hit the grass and scare the snake, didn't the snake run away?" ”

"Whether it's the political envoy or Shen Shisheng's thousand households, if they are really from the boat gang and have human heads, they won't run now, because they are all one-line contacts, and the only evidence we have now is Cuihuan's confession, and this alone can't defeat them."

"Then what if they have pig's heads, or are afraid of you, the lord who solves the case like a god, and flees when they hear the news?" Song Yuner chased after her.

"Haha, that's nothing, I scared them into losing their officials and fled before I showed up, which means that they have ghosts, wouldn't we save trouble, just catch and arrest them nationwide. We can happily go home and eat the delicacies of the mountains and seas made of red silk. ”

Song Yun'er and Hong Aya both laughed. Song Yun'er thought for a while and said, "Brother, you used eight hundred miles to expedite the notification of this Shen Shisheng to send Jinyiwei to carry out control, which reminds me of the incident when the shipbreaker gang notified Zhou Fahai, that guy was in the nest and harmed us once, which made me feel unsafe with you Jinyiwei now." ”

"You were bitten by a snake once, and you were afraid of the well rope for ten years," Yang Qiuchi said with a smile, "There is an intention to inform him, as I said just now, if he is a member of the boat gang, then we are to startle the snake, and then find the snake to fight, if not, then we can control the person in time." Besides, even if we don't notify us, we arrest Cuihuan and Long Laohan of the Boat Gang, and the news will quickly reach their ears through the channels of the Boat Gang. ”

Song Yun'er nodded: "That's the same." ”

Yang Qiuchi waved his horsewhip: "So, let's put our hearts in our stomachs, respond calmly, unsheath our long swords, and go to meet this storm!" ”

Song Yun'er was so heroic by what he said, she waved her horsewhip and shouted: "Okay!" Come on! ”

The group beat their horses and whipped their horses and went straight to Chengdu.
