According to the old bustard of Mianchunlou and others, the gang of people who attacked Yun Jing were all very young, all in their teens and twenties, and their movements were very capable, their actions were uniform, and they advanced and retreated in a certain way, much like the soldiers of the army. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

So Ma Du and Niu Dahai analyzed that Yun Du was beaten and framed, which must be related to their investigation of the murder of Xue Dudu's concubine, and from the beginning of the investigation to the beating, it was only a few hours, if these people were from the army, they should be the Beijing battalion soldiers in the capital or the nearby guard troops.

The Beijing battalion soldiers in the capital are the 22 guards of Shangzhi (including the Jinyi Guard), which are personally in charge of the emperor. In addition, it is the Jingwei and foreign guard troops under the direct jurisdiction of the Governor's Office of the Five Armies. The foreign guard troops were too far away to be able to be mobilized in time, so the focus of the investigation was on the 22nd Guards of the Shangzhi and the Beijing Guards directly under the Governor's Office of the Fifth Army.

Jin Yiwei also set up a lot of eyeliner spies in the army, and the news was quickly fed back, if it was a person from the army, more than 100 people were dispatched at once, this scale is still not small, there should be movement, unexpectedly, all the feedback news is that the guards did not find that so many people were dispatched that night. According to the feedback back, it is certain that these people are not from the Jingwei Army.

After listening to the results of the investigation of the two, Yang Qiuchi was very surprised, did these 100 young people fall from the sky? Could it be that Ji Gang transferred people from the local guard? If this is the case, it means that Ji Gang has long had a conspiracy to attack Yun Xuan.

The Ming Dynasty had an army of more than 2 million people, and it was impossible to find out these 100 people. Yang Qiuchi had no choice but to instruct them to expand the scope of their investigation, including some military craftsmen's workshops that used young people on a large scale, as well as yamen such as the Ministry of Industry and the yamen of nearby prefectures and counties.

After the arrangement was completed, Yang Qiuchi had time to go back and investigate the murder of Xue Dudu's concubine. He needed to check whether Lin Yuan was the murderer of Xue Dudu's concubine.

He took Lin Yuan's blood sample for testing, and the result was very surprising, Lin Yuan's blood sample was not type A, because the semen extracted at the scene of the murder was type A blood, which ruled out the suspicion that Lin Yuan was the murderer of the Void Spirit. No wonder Ji Gang was very relieved to hand over Lin Yuan to Yang Qiuchi, it turned out that he had long known that Lin Yuan was not a murderer at all.

Ji Gang obviously knew that the emperor had let him cut off Lin Yuan's head to end the case, and he also knew that Lin Yuan was not the murderer at all, but he still handed it over to himself, obviously not out of consideration for his ability to find out the truth and return Lin Yuan's innocence, but hoped that he could kill Lin Yuan according to the emperor's wishes, end the case, and lose his pawn to protect the car.

However, the bridge returns to the bridge, the road returns to the road, Yang Qiuchi will not kill a person by mistake, and ordered Lin Yuan to be released on the spot, but told him that he must not leave the capital before the case is solved, and he must be with the rumors.

When Ji Gang handed Lin Yuan over to Yang Qiuchi, he had already told him that the emperor wanted Yang Qiuchi to kill him to close the case, and in order to show Ji Gang's kindness to his subordinates, he also specially told him to let him rest assured that he would be buried thickly. So Lin Yuan knew that he was dead. Now listening to Yang Qiuchi's exculpation and escape from death, he couldn't help but feel ecstatic in his heart, and kowtowed to Yang Qiuchi again and again: "Master Hou's grace of life, his subordinates will never forget ......!" ”

The murder of Xue Dudu's concubine was broken, which made Yang Qiuchi very frustrated, and he didn't bother to deal with Lin Yuan, and waved him away. Lin Yuan walked to the door, lowered his head and thought about it, then turned around and walked back, and said to Yang Qiuchi: "My subordinates have something I want to talk to Master Hou. ”

Yang Qiuchi said: "What's the matter?" Let's talk about it. ”

Lin Yuanjian saw that there were only three guards in the lobby, including Song Yun'er and Nangong Xiong, and he also knew that these were Yang Qiuchi's henchmen, so he leaned over and said in a low voice: "My subordinates know who the people who attacked Yun Xuan that night were. ”

Yang Qiuchi was pleasantly surprised: "Really? Who are they? ”

"It's the second prince's personal soldiers who protect Tiance Guard."

Yang Qiuchi shook his head: "No, we have checked the twenty-two guards of Shangzhi, including Tiance Guard, and we are sure that it is not." ”

Lin Yuan thought for a while, gritted his teeth, and lowered his voice: "The second prince has expanded the Tiance Guard, and recruited many new people, and these people are not in the Tian Ce Wei camp of the Han Palace. ”

"Oh?" Yang Qiuchi was taken aback and stared at Lin Yuan, "Where is that?" ”

"In the apricot colt mountain nest thirty miles outside the east city." Lin Yuan's face was a little pale, "Not long ago, I accompanied the team to protect the commander...... Ji Gang has been there, so he knows. I recognized some of them that night. ”

Yang Qiuchi stared at Lin Yuan and said, "Why are you telling me this?" ”

Lin Yuan said hatefully: "Ji Gang knew that it was not I who killed Xue Dudu's concubine, but he still handed me over and sent me to death." I owe it to him in the first place! Yang Hou Ye enforced the law impartially and returned my innocence, I said this and repaid Hou Ye's great kindness, anyway, I was alone, there was no drag, and I flew away in the future. ”

Lin Yuan already knew the consequences of telling this big secret, however, Yang Qiuchi did not kill him with the emperor's instructions, which made him grateful, he was also a man with a blood surname, and he was grateful to repay his kindness, this time he escaped from death, so that he saw through Ji Gang's indifference and hypocrisy, and decided to leave. After thinking about it again before leaving, I decided to tell the secret.

Yang Qiuchi instructed Nangong Xiong to take a hundred taels of silver from the yamen tent and give it to Lin Yuan, and then bring clothes to him. After Lin Yuan dressed up in disguise, he thanked Yang Qiuchi and left the capital.

Song Yun'er said: "Brother, the emperor ordered you to kill Lin Yuan, give Xue Dudu an explanation, and end this case." Now that you have released him, how can you explain it to the emperor? ”

Yang Qiuchi said: "I won't kill innocent people, the existing evidence can't at least prove that he killed someone and violated the king's law, if I kill innocents indiscriminately, what's the difference with Ji Gang's dog thief?" As for the emperor, I'll talk about it. The emperor asked me to kill Lin Yuan because I told the emperor that Lin Yuan was suspected of a major crime, and now that the suspicion has been ruled out, of course, he can't kill indiscriminately. The emperor should be able to understand. We'd better catch the real murderer before the emperor asks about it. ”

Song Yun'er asked, "Brother, could this Lin Yuan just say something a lie?" ”

"I don't think he's lying, besides, I've released him, he's just gone, what's the reason to make up this story to lie to me? He didn't know that I was going to give him a hundred taels of silver. ”

"Maybe it's Ji Gang who is ambushing under the Apricot Pass, let this Lin Yuan lead us there!"

"Not like, and it's unlikely. The emperor has made it clear that if I fight with him again, I will come to see him, you have no jokes, no matter how bold he is, it is possible to assassinate me, but he does not dare to openly send troops to meet with our swordsmen. However, if you are careful to hold up the ship of ten thousand years, let's send spies to check first. Find out if it's true. ”

Yang Qiuchi called Yun Xuan, told him about the matter, and instructed him to send a team of spies to reconnoiter outside the capital.

After Yun was stunned and left, Song Yun'er asked: "Brother, there are already more than 5,000 Tiance guards of these two princes, and the Han Wangfu to protect him is more than enough, why did he recruit so many people to hide in the valley and train secretly?" Does he want to ......" Song Yun'er's lips moved twice, although she didn't pronounce it, according to the movements of her lips, she could guess that the last two words were-rebellion.

Yang Qiuchi nodded with a smile: "Since he threatened me last night and said that after waiting for him to do something, he would be the first to destroy my nine clans, looking at his arrogant posture, it is very possible." Otherwise, what is he secretly training this army for? ”

Song Yun'er thought for a while, and then said, "You say, will this Ji Gang also participate in it?" ”

Lin Yuan had already said just now that the reason why he knew about this was that he followed the second prince Zhu Gaoxu there with the team to protect Ji Gang. So obviously, this matter is also a part of the discipline. Hehe, the two of them are embarrassed, one nostril is out of breath, this kind of thing is not fun without him. ”

Song Yun'er said: "That's good! If we catch Ji Gang's sore foot, we can sue him for rebellion and destroy his nine clans! ”

Yang Qiuchi shook his head: "Let's first wait for the results of Yun Xuan's investigation, just based on the fact that the second prince expanded the secret training of Tiance Guard, at most, he expanded the army privately, and then concluded that the second prince rebelled, which is still a bit reluctant and not convincing enough." You can't defeat the enemy with one move. ”

"Huh? So what to do? Song Yun'er frowned.

"Let's continue to investigate and get comprehensive evidence of their rebellion. The emperor has already decreed that I am not allowed to investigate the discipline gang, and only when I get the real evidence of their rebellion can I sue him! Therefore, if we don't move, we will hold his seven inches and completely knock him over! There is only one chance, and if we fail to report it, we will be unlucky. ”

Song Yun'er thought for a while and said, "Otherwise, let's report it through others, such as telling the prince and letting him go and talk to the emperor." Good no good? ”

Yang Qiuchi shook his head: "I've thought about this method for a long time, but it doesn't work, first of all, this kind of top-secret event that loses its head, of course, the less one person knows, the more security, once the news is revealed, Zhu Gaoxu and Ji Gang will definitely take risks, then it will be dangerous; Second, the prince's surname is generous and benevolent, although the second prince and the third prince peeped into his position as the crown prince and tried to seize it several times, the third prince even directly assassinated the emperor in an attempt to rebel, the prince not only did not take the opportunity to get rid of the two of them, but interceded for them, which shows that the prince attaches great importance to their brotherhood, if he tells the prince, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not make extraneous branches. ”

Song Yun'er said: "Yes, I think this prince is also indecisive, this kind of counterinsurgency, I'm afraid he can't do it." What about finding someone else to tell the emperor? For example, Grandpa Li. ”

Yang Qiuchi shook his head and said: "One truth, no matter who we look for, it is possible to leak the news, and if our evidence is enough to bring down Ji Gang and them, tell the emperor directly and through others, the result will be the same, if our evidence is not enough to bring them down, even if we tell the emperor through others, the emperor will also track it down and find out to our heads, after all, this is a major matter involving rebellion, and it will definitely be investigated to the end." ”

At the end of the day, this can only be said later.

Now that the clues of Xue Dudu's concubine murder case have been broken, and there is no way to investigate, Yang Qiuchi remembered that Dong Fucheng of Yingtianfu said that the matter of the draft girl in the past two days was to find a woman for the emperor, but it could not be delayed, so he took Song Yuner and the escort team to Yingtianfu.

In the yamen of Yingtianfu, Dong Fucheng was already as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and the holy order was to report the show girl to him today, and the six hundred show girls had already been selected and sent, all of which were full of yards in the yamen, but Yang Qiuchi never showed up, and went to the house to invite, saying that he had gone to the Yamen of Fusi in Nanzhen, Dong Fucheng did not dare to send someone to Jinyiwei to urge Yang Qiuchi to choose a woman, so he could only wait in the courtyard, praying that Yang Qiuchi would come to work in the yamen as soon as possible.

Now that he finally saw Yang Qiuchi coming, Dong Fucheng was overjoyed and greeted him: "Lord Fu Yin, you can come, this show girl is going to report today, if it's late, we will be in trouble." ”

Yang Qiuchi smiled: "Hey, isn't it just picking a woman, it's very simple, you let them come to the hall in a group of ten people, and the official will make a decision on the spot in the lobby." ”

"Yes, yes, but, the identity of these show girls, the innocence of their family history, whether they are yellow flowers, whether they have diseases, and the number of households, adults also have to look at it."

Yang Qiuchi squinted his eyes and saw the archives of the show girls piled up like a hill on the side of the warm pavilion in the lobby, and his head was big: "Have you seen those?" ”

"I've seen it, I've seen it all, and in the past few days, I've organized all the stable women and Langzhong in Yingtianfu to conduct a physical examination for the show girls. If it is not a yellow flower, it is sick, and if it does not meet the requirements, the lowly position will be sent back and they will be replaced. I've been busy with this day and night for the past few days. Now these 600 women are all yellow flower girls, they have no illness, and their family history is innocent, and they are all guaranteed by the local bailiffs. ”

Yang Qiuchi nodded, then turned his head and asked Master Long, who stayed in the yamen to manage administrative affairs: "Has Mr. seen it?" ”

Master Long said: "The contemptible people have been carefully examined one by one, and now these six hundred people meet the requirements for selecting show girls. ”

"Well, you two have reviewed it, then I won't look at it. Anyway, the three of us are grasshoppers on the same line, if the review is not strict and there is a mistake, I can't run away, and you two can't run away, hehe. ”

The two hurriedly bowed down and laughed. Lian said that he did not dare to be negligent.

Yang Qiuchi went to the warm pavilion in the lobby, and was shocked: "Take the show girl to the hall!" ”

In a group of ten people, beauties have been born in the south of the Yangtze River since ancient times, and this Beijing division is even more beautiful. The six hundred candidates selected are all in their twenties, with delicate facial features, like water lotus.

Yang Qiuchi was happy to choose this, as if he had returned to the time when he was picking a wine girl in a nightclub in his previous life. Song Yun'er also knew that he was addicted, but she was not jealous, she smiled and looked at him up and down, left and right, and looked at each woman's face and figure, and did not interfere.

Yang Qiuchi was very selective, and asked from time to time. Before I knew it, it was already past noon, and I was only screened for a small half, so I was a little anxious. After having lunch in a hurry, he sent Song Yun'er to call Liu Ruobing and help him choose.

With the help of Liu Ruobing and Song Yun'er, this was very fast, and finally three hundred show girls were selected from six hundred people before getting off work. instructed Dong Fucheng to lead these three hundred beauties, together with their personal dossiers, to Ji Gang, who made the final selection, and then sent them to the palace.

After arranging for someone to send 300 beauties away and sending the rest of the unsuccessful women home, the draft will be over.

Song Yun'er grinned: "Brother, how do you feel about picking this beauty for the day?" ”

Yang Qiuchi rubbed his eyes: "I thought it was a very pleasant thing to choose a woman, but I didn't expect that women would see too much, and they were really a little dazzled, and they didn't dare to decide at will, fortunately, there were Bing'er and Yun'er to help, otherwise, I really couldn't handle it, if I couldn't do it overdue, this Ji Gang would have to catch me with pigtails." ”

Liu Ruobing also smiled: "Our Jingshi really has a lot of beauties, this time Yun'er and I selected the part, there are two very beautiful ones, which can be called flowers and moons, and they are all over the country." ”

Oh? Yang Qiuchi's eyes widened: "What can make me Bing'er praise must be too beautiful, why don't you two let me take a look?" What a pity. ”

Song Yun'er's face was flat: "What is a pity? You have my sister and Hong Aya, two beautiful beauties, beauties who even the emperor is tempted, are you still not satisfied? ”

"I ...... I didn't mean that......" Yang Qiuchi sneered.

"Humph! I knew you would be tempted, so when my sister asked me to call you to come and see, I didn't call. ”

"Huh?" Yang Qiuchi glared, "Your sister is relieved, I'll let me see, why are you ......" Yang Qiuchi saw Song Yun'er staring at him with round eyes, and hurriedly changed his words and smiled: "I just want to see for a long time." ”

Liu Ruobing said: "Yun'er, don't tease him, he has said it, with the seven of us and a son, I will not accept concubines in the future, I believe that he is a person who believes in his word, so he is just happy to feast his eyes when he looks at other beauties, don't take it seriously." ”

Yang Qiuchi smiled and said, "Exactly! Bing'er still understands me. I have seven beautiful women who are like flowers and jade, especially my Bing'er and Hongyan, which is really the appearance of the country and the city, and I have a son, I am already very satisfied. Hehe......"

Song Yun'er said angrily: "It would be nice if this was the case!" I'm afraid that you will see a beautiful woman and your feet will be weak. ”

"Look at what you said." Yang Qiuchi sneered, "How could it be." ”

The next morning, Yang Qiuchi came to Nanzhen Fusi and dealt with some important tasks, at this time, Yun Xuan came in with a few people, all of them full of excitement.

As soon as Yang Qiuchi saw their expressions, he immediately knew that the results of the investigation must have been discovered. I was overjoyed in my heart, and hurriedly retreated left and right.

Yun was stunned and bowed down and said: "Master Hou, I took these spies, disguised as woodcutters, and searched in the Apricot Pass Valley thirty miles from Dongcheng, and sure enough, I found a hidden military camp, which is estimated to have nearly 10,000 people, who are practicing, because they can't see clearly from a distance, and they don't dare to approach, so I don't know if there are more than 100 people who attacked us that night." ”

"Great!" Yang Qiuchi patted his thigh, stood up excitedly, walked back and forth a few times, and said to the spies, "You guys do a good job, each person will be rewarded with ten taels of silver, go to the tent and get it." ”

The men thanked them in unison and withdrew.
