Chapter 641: Shocking Change (1)
Shehong County is full of devastation. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
When Yang Shouwen came to the outside of Shehong County with Su Changshi, he saw a mess everywhere.
The city gate of Shehong County is closed, and the gatehouse is brightly lit and full of people. Far away, you can feel the solemn atmosphere on the city gate. The shadows of the people walking around the gatehouse, as well as the faint cold light of the swords and guns against the firelight, all show that at this moment, the panicked atmosphere that shrouded the sky over Shehong County.
"I am Su Changshi, I am ordered by Sun Changshi to welcome Li Sizhi back, please open the door quickly."
Su Changshi shouted loudly under the city gate.
Just his name...... Yang Shouwen couldn't help but laugh.
The doorman on the city tower looked down, and after confirming Su Changshi's identity, he responded loudly.
In a short time, the gates opened.
"Li Sizhi, please come with me."
Su Changshi walked into the city gate first, and faced a man who looked like a captain and said with a smile: "Su Changshi, you are finally back."
Sun Changshi has sent people to inquire many times, and it seems that he is very worried. ”
"Nonsense, Hugh wants to talk nonsense in front of the court officials, where is Sun Changshi now?"
The lieutenant saw Yang Shouwen, and hurriedly put away the smile on his face and said, "Sun Changshi is in the county office, waiting for you to go back." ”
Su Changshi glared at the captain, turned his head and said, "Li Sizhi, let's go." ”
Yang Shouwen could generally understand the meaning of the joke in their words.
It stands to reason that the captain should have called Su Changshi 'joining the army', but he called him by his name, which was a joke.
Thinking about it, Su Changshi was not less teased because of his name on weekdays, so he was not angry.
Yang Shouwen nodded to the captain, and then walked through the city gate with Hu Cong.
After they left, the lieutenant ordered his subordinates to close the city gate, while looking thoughtfully at the backs of Yang Shouwen and the others.
"Joining the army, this Shangguan doesn't look very old, but the pomp is not small."
A small school came over with a hippie smile and said: "Look at their armor, it seems to be better than the armor of Jing Wei's subordinates, and they are all one person and two horses, which is really different." In my opinion, this Li Sizhi's origin is not simple. ”
"Nonsense, which one is easy from the gods?"
The lieutenant glared at the little colonel, and his eyes fell on the backs of Yang Shouwen and the others again.
The little colonel only saw Yang Shouwen's bright armor, one person and two horses. But as a member of Zizhou and Cao participated in the military, although he had never walked out of Zizhou in his life, he was able to feel the fierceness of those subordinates.
That's not just a matter of obedience!
And judging from their weapons, they are all horizontal knives and spears of high-quality craftsmanship.
But it's that outfit, it's worth a lot of money. Can the director of a punishment temple be equipped with such a servant? Also, those who entered the city with Sun Changshi during the day were also extraordinary. In particular, Sun Changshi's attitude is more than enough to show that the origin of these people is ......
The lieutenant's eyes unconsciously narrowed into a slit.
He vaguely felt that his opportunity might come!
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Sun Chuxuan is over thirty years old and has a slightly dark complexion.
He is not tall, about 170 centimeters, with thin cheeks and bulging cheekbones. He did not have a beard like many people, but only had two small mustaches, which gave people a kind of ability. When Yang Shouwen saw him, Sun Chuxuan was not wearing official clothes, but in civilian clothes, wearing a scarf, and was standing in the courtyard, checking a corpse.
"Li Sizhi, you're here."
Seeing Yang Shouwen, Sun Chuxuan looked very calm, clenched his fists and arched his hands: "This official has been waiting for a long time." ”
Yang Shouwen also returned the salute with his fists, and looked Sun Chuxuan up and down.
This little man is not simple!
Sun Chuxuan's first feeling to Yang Shouwen was good, but even so, Yang Shouwen still maintained vigilance.
"Thanks to Sun Changshi's help this time, otherwise Xia Guan might still be trapped at the ferry now."
Zizhou is Xiazhou, and the history of thorns is the fourth product. Thorn history below, with a different car, for the four products. And Changshi can be regarded as the third person in the state capital, and he is an official from the fifth grade. Yang Shouwen is a straight, six-grade official. Although it is not a subordinate relationship, but in terms of rank, Yang Shouwen still has to bow his head. Therefore, in the face of Sun Chuxuan, he called himself a 'lower official'.
Sun Chuxuan said with a smile: "Li Si is polite, but he has to show his hands, why thank you?"
However, Li Sizhi came to shoot Hong on a business trip this time, but he encountered this kind of thing, I am afraid that it will be delayed a little, please bear with me. ”
Those dark eyes stared at Yang Shouwen.
Yang Shouwen smiled and said: "Xiaguan came to shoot Hong this time, on the secret order of the prince, in order to confirm a matter with Chen Ziang.
Speaking of which, Xia Guan is also a little strange.
In the first year of the holy calendar, Chen Ziangding returned to his hometown, why was he tortured like that by Shehong County, but the Zizhou state capital ignored it? ”
Today's Yang Shouwen is no longer the fledgling hairy boy at the beginning.
Although he has not been in Luoyang often over the years, he has been exposed to all the powerful people in the DPRK and China, so he has naturally become much more sophisticated. The two were talking and laughing, but in fact, there had already been a confrontation. That Sun Chuxuan wanted to ask Yang Shouwen's purpose, and Yang Shouwen directly told him that I was looking for Chen Ziang on the secret order of the prince, why was he so tortured?
Since Sun Chuxuan is here, it is impossible for Chen Ziang to hide it anymore.
Therefore, Yang Shouwen was not polite and directly questioned.
Sun Chuxuan's cheeks twitched slightly, revealing a look of embarrassment.
He hesitated for a moment and said softly: "This matter is indeed the negligence of this official.
Last year, the county order of Shehong County reported the matter to the state government, when the government returned to his hometown for recuperation due to illness, and it coincided with the end of the year, and there were many trivial matters. After receiving the secret report, the official did not pay attention to it, and only wrote back to the Shehong County Order, asking him to handle this matter carefully.
But what this official didn't expect was that Shehong County ordered ......"
Sun Chuxuan is indeed a headache, because this matter is no longer just a simple case of rebellion.
It would be fine if Chen Ziang was an unknown person, but he was an official of the imperial court, and he had a good reputation in the literary world.
If there is not enough evidence to prove it, then Chen Ziang's matter is likely to evolve into the persecution of Qingliu...... If it weren't for the fact that Duan Jian was dead, Sun Chuxuan would not have taken Duan Jian down for interrogation. He never expected that Duan Jian would use such drastic means against Chen Ziang. If it spreads, it will definitely cause the entire Shilin to shake.
Of course, if Chen Ziang died, it would be fine.
It's just that Chen Ziang is not dead now...... This is where the trouble becomes!
In fact, not only Sun Chuxuan didn't expect it, but the entire Shilin in Xichuan didn't expect Duan Jian to be so bold.
However, Sun Chuxuan did not shirk the responsibility, but took the initiative to take the blame.
This also made Yang Shouwen look at him a few times, and did not continue to talk about this topic, but walked to the side of the corpse.
"Whose body is this?"
Sun Chuxuan hurriedly stepped aside and said softly: "This person is Duan Jian." ”
"Oh?"
Yang Shouwen's gaze swept over Duan Jian's corpse.
"He was killed?"
Sun Chuxuan smiled bitterly: "As Li Sizhi saw. ”
At this time, Sun Chuxuan's momentum had been completely suppressed by Yang Shouwen. Originally, he still wanted to ask Yang Shouwen's purpose, but now, his mind was a little confused. Unconsciously, Sun Chuxuan's attitude also changed.
"After crossing the river today, the official was about to join the front army, but he received news that there was a riot in Shehong.
Those flying barbarians suddenly launched an attack in the county seat, and broke into the county office, killing the county lieutenant Wang Meng. Seeing that the situation was not good, Shehong County Ling committed suicide in the study. After Fei Wuman ransacked the county, he quickly evacuated, but now he doesn't know where to go.
Previously, this official had received news that there were bandits outside Shehong County.
Now it seems that those bandits are flying barbarians...... It's just that the official doesn't understand that Fei Wuman has been very honest all these years, why did he suddenly rebel and make trouble? ”
Yang Shouwen didn't respond, but squatted down and beckoned to bring the lights closer.
Sun Chuxuan was not angry, but took a torch and leaned next to the corpse.
"Duan Jian, did you commit suicide in the study?"
"When the lower officials arrived, they did see his body in the study."
"What did he use to kill himself?"
"Sabre."
"Show it to me."
When Sun Chuxuan heard this, he hurriedly handed over a sword.
What the Si Xing Temple does is to reason and judge the case, in Sun Chuxuan's opinion, since Yang Shouwen is hanging the position of the Si Xing Temple, he must also be a master in this regard. Therefore, he simply handed over the matter to Yang Shouwen, and he assisted on the side.
"Sun Changshi, do you really think that he committed suicide?"
After a long time, Yang Shouwen returned the sword and turned his head to look at Sun Chuxuan.
The corners of Sun Chuxuan's mouth twitched slightly, and then he smiled bitterly: "Actually, after the official arrived at the scene, he felt a little strange at first glance. But later, according to the investigation, he felt that he had indeed committed suicide, so the official was also a little uncertain. ”
"He didn't kill himself."
"Huh?"
Yang Shouwen took out a handkerchief from his shoulder pocket and wiped his hands.
At first glance, Duan Jian killed himself.
But...... You see, Duan Jian has significantly more calluses on his right hand than on his left, which at least shows that Duan Jian is not left-handed. But if we look at the wounds, Duan Jian's wounds were caused from right to left. Generally speaking, when this happens, you should hold the sword in your left hand. Duan Jian is obviously not left-handed, why did he use his left hand to hold a sword when he committed suicide? This is one of them!
Second, in self-inflicted death, the wound is often from the top down, which can facilitate the exertion.
But Duan Jian's wound is obviously from the bottom up...... In such a situation, I thought there was only one possibility.
Someone restrained him from behind, and then ...... This person should be taller than Duan Jian, and the weapon used is not Duan Jian's sword, but a scimitar. This person is familiar with Duan Jian, and he is extremely agile in reaching out. Look at Duan Jian's face, the expression is very calm. Judging by the folds in his clothes, he was killed by the other party without even resisting.
So I judge ......"
As Yang Shouwen spoke, he walked around behind Sun Chuxuan, suddenly hugged him, and then wiped Sun Chuxuan's neck with a knife with his hand.
"Duan Jian, this should be how he was killed."
Yang Shouwen's movements were so fast that Sun Chuxuan didn't have time to react.
Even after Yang Shouwen let go of him, the entourage in the courtyard reacted and shouted in unison.
"Get out of here."
Sun Chuxuan was shocked, but he still understood what Yang Shouwen meant.
He hurriedly repelled his entourage, closed his eyes, and experienced the feeling when Yang Shouwen's palm wiped his neck just now, and then walked quickly to Duan Jian's corpse, holding a torch in his hand, and squatted down to carefully examine Duan Jian's wounds.
"That's right, that's it!"
He muttered to himself, "I just said that at the first sight of the corpse, something seemed wrong. ”
Immediately, Sun Chuxuan stood up again and walked in front of Yang Shouwen.
"Li Sizhi, why don't we go to the study and investigate again?"
This is also a guy who once he gets to work, he forgets to sleep and eat. He even forgot that Yang Shouwen had just arrived at the county office, and he had gone through a lot of twists and turns. From noon to now, Yang Shouwen has not even eaten water, and he has already shown fatigue.
However, Yang Shouwen appreciated Sun Chuxuan's seriousness very much.
He didn't refuse Sun Chuxuan, but asked with a smile: "Sun Changshi, where is my Hu from now?" Also, how is Chen Ziang doing now? ”
Sun Chuxuan patted his head, revealing a look of surprise.
"Look at my memory...... Li Sizhi rest assured that the official had already arranged for them to rest in the Chen Mansion, and Chen Ziang had also been arranged over there, and had already been treated by Mr. By the way, Li Sizhi has been busy all day, and he must be hungry and thirsty.
Why don't we have dinner first and go later? ”
Yang Shouwen thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "You don't have to worry about eating, you don't have to worry about Sun Changshi, send someone to watch the Shehong Huang Mansion, and no one is allowed to enter or leave." Let's go to the study first, otherwise, I'm afraid that there are delicacies in the mountains, and I won't be able to eat them. (To be continued.) )
