Chapter 393: Ming Thirteen
The wind is getting stronger, and the waves on the lake are getting higher.
The waves came in waves, crashing on the causeway, making a rumbling sound that was terrifying.
The water vapor was filled, and standing in the Autumn Wind Pavilion and looking out, the whole world seemed to become a little illusory and not so real.
Yang Shouwen's hair was wet and stuck to his face.
However, he ignored it, digesting Lu Chengzhi's words in his heart.
It can be heard that Lu Chengzhi's evaluation of Wang Yuankai is even higher than Wang He.
It's a pity that such a person......
Yang Shouwen said: "Since you have found a problem, why don't you say it in the past two days?" ”
Lu Chengzhi smiled bitterly: "This kind of thing, if you are not completely sure, who dares to talk nonsense?" If it weren't for this incident, I wouldn't dare to say such words in front of Ah Lang. Wang Yuankai is very detailed, and he seems to be very wooden, but in fact, he ...... But such a person still died at the hands of thieves. When you think about it, it's a pity. ”
"Yes, such a careful person......"
Having said this, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in Yang Shouwen's mind.
Wang Yuankai is such a careful person, he must be very careful in doing things.
According to the report of Cui Xuanwei, the assassin of Suzhou, Wang Yuankai had secretly reported to him, saying that he had discovered some strange things, and that he was going to go to Wu County to report to him in person two days later. But the day after he sent the secret report, he was poisoned in the study. This shows that the thief got the news and decisively killed him.
But how could a person who is so careful leak the news?
Unless someone close to him ......
Slowly, the cause of Wang Yuankai's death has been found out. Including the way thieves poison them. It's also clear.
So. All this time, Yang Shouwen didn't think about it anymore.
But now that Lu Chengzhi is talking about it, he suddenly thinks of a problem, a fatal loophole.
The cripple drilled a hole in the beam, hid the poison inside, and sealed it with wax. The question is, Wang Yuankai will make tea and read books in it every day, why doesn't the wax melt early. If it's too late, it will melt the day after he sends out the recital? Unless, someone discovered the situation, and put the poison in the hole in the beam of the house that day, and then sealed it with a thin layer of wax. This is also why when Yang Shouwen inspected the beams, he could still find residual wax marks.
In other words, Su Wei, or those thieves in Annan, have ears and eyes around Wang Yuankai!
Thinking of this, Yang Shouwen couldn't help but gasp.
He swallowed his saliva and looked at Lu Chengzhi. I couldn't speak for a long time.
This can also explain why it was after Wang Yuankai's death. Cui Xuanwei sent someone to check, but he couldn't find the slightest clue.
Who is this person?
"Ah Lang, what's wrong with you?"
Yang Shouwen suddenly came to his senses, raised his hand and rubbed his face vigorously.
From his satchel, he took out the book "Wuzhong Miscellaneous Quirks" found in Wang Yuankai's study and put it on the stone table in the pavilion.
"Huh?"
Lu Chengzhi was stunned for a moment, and then came to his senses.
"Ah Lang, you ......"
He didn't finish his sentence, but he closed his mouth.
Because he found that Yang Shouwen seemed to be a little anxious.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
At noon, the rain poured down.
The Taihu Lake in the distance and the Changzhou Garden in the near distance were all submerged by the mist, and the fog was clear from afar, and the scenery was hazy.
Yao Saburo took Minzhuang and was on duty on the city tower.
The gates of Changzhou County are closed, and the city is heavily guarded.
The fish market has been closed and the docks have been blocked. Groups of patrol soldiers Wu Hou patrolled the streets, their expressions serious.
In the county town, there is an atmosphere of tension.
"County lieutenant, someone is coming."
Yao Saburo had just finished inspecting the city gate and was about to sit down to rest, when he suddenly heard the captain of Minzhuang beside him shouting loudly.
He hurriedly got up, braved the rain and walked behind the city wall, and put his hands on the pergola to watch.
I saw a team of people and horses coming from a distance, and there were many chariots and horses in the team, which looked mighty and powerful.
In a short time, the convoy was under the city.
"Open the gates."
"Who is next? Today, Cheung Chau is under martial law, and no one is allowed to enter or leave without an order from the Levy Lang. ”
"Register your mother, I'm Wang Haibin."
A young general stepped forward and came to the city.
Yao Sanlang was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Wang joins the army, where is Zhengshilang?" ”
Without waiting for Wang Haibin to reply, he saw a person from the team come to Wang Haibin's side, "San Lang, open the city gate quickly."
My family Ah Lang has found an important clue and has gone to Wu County to visit Fuzun.
The important items seized from the Su family in the car were ordered by Ah Lang to be kept properly...... You don't hurry up and open the gates. ”
Yao Sanlang recognized that the person who spoke was Lu Chengzhi.
He knew that this Lu Chengzhi was Yang Shouwen's staff and confidant!
"Open the gates."
Yao Sanlang shouted loudly, only to hear a movement from the city, followed by the city gate opened.
Wang Haibin led the officers and troops into the county seat with chariots and horses. Yao Saburo was dressed in a cloak and rushed down the gallop from the castle tower.
"Mr. Lu, what's the situation?"
Lu Chengzhi was already soaking wet, leading the horse, looking very embarrassed.
Horses and chariots passed him, and many boxes were piled on them.
Lu Chengzhi smiled bitterly: "That thief is really treacherous, when Ah Lang led us, there was no trace of the thief."
Not only that, but even the envoys of the Su family sent by Wu County were poisoned by the thieves. ”
As he spoke, a look of horror appeared on his face, and he said softly: "Those thieves are really vicious, and more than a dozen lives were lost so easily. However, Xu was in a hurry to leave, but Ah Lang still found some clues and ordered me to send them to the county office. He took Yang Jasmine to Wu County, saying that he wanted to ask Fuzun for help and was going to seal the lake again for searching. ”
"Huh?"
Yao Sanlang was also taken aback, and said in a trembling voice: "I didn't expect Su Yuanwai to be so frustrated? ”
"What Su Yuanwai, fake!"
"Huh?" Yao Saburo looked shocked again. blurted out: "Fake? ”
"I still remember what Ah Lang said before. He once visited Puhui Temple at night. Did you find out that Su Wei was killed by Shenhui and others?
Ah Lang can already be sure that the real Su Yuanwai is dead, and the Su Yuanwai we saw recently was impersonated.
However, they can't run! ”
Lu Chengzhi said, pointing to the carriage that passed by him just now.
"Ah Lang has already discovered where they are, just waiting for him to invite the Fuzun, and when the time comes, he will prove it to him in person.
That's right. The evidence will be kept in the study in the back garden. If you find someone reliable, you have to keep a good watch. ”
"Understood."
Yao Saburo nodded again and again.
At this time, Lu Chengzhi suddenly sneezed and said with a wry smile: "Forget it, I'll go back and take a hot shower first."
It's a damn damn weather, it's a real headache. Just such a little thing, pulling it back, can be regarded as exhausting to death. ”
"yes, yes, it's raining too much."
Lu Chengzhi and Yao Sanlang said goodbye and escorted the car straight to the county office.
After returning to the county office. He discussed with Wang Haibin for a while, and Wang Haibin immediately left in a hurry with his subordinates.
Lu Chengzhi brought Yang Chouer and Fei Fugui again. After a few words, he went back to the house. There was no rest all night, and Lu Chengzhi felt a little uncomfortable after being watered by the rain, so he hastily had lunch and went back to the room to rest.
Heavy rain, which stops in the evening.
Martial law in the county town has not been lifted, but it feels like it has been relaxed.
In the fish market dock, there are few people.
The guise at the entrance of the Eight Immortals Inn, like an eggplant beaten by frost, wilted. It hung from the flagpole and looked weak. The dead wind lantern at the door swayed gently, and the candle flame inside flickered and dimmed, like a ghost fire.
Ming Jiu curled up behind the counter, his eyes half-open and half-closed, as if he was asleep.
At this moment, the door canopy was pushed open, and a person walked in from the outside.
Ming Jiu Lingling woke up, looked up, and saw that the person who came was about six feet tall, with a tall figure and a slender body. He was dressed in a black robe, with a hood and a black veil covering his face. After walking into the Eight Immortals Inn, he went straight to the back of the counter.
"Shopkeeper, give me an upper room."
Ming Nineteen immediately laughed when he heard that voice.
"There is a room in the upper room, please come with me."
As he spoke, he shouted loudly: "Xiao Wu, come and watch, I'll take a look at the room." ”
He picked up a room card and walked out from behind the counter, "Guest, please come with me." ”
The guest didn't speak, and followed closely behind Ming Nineteen. The two of them came to the door of a guest room on the second floor and stopped. Ming Nineteen pushed open the door, leaned sideways and humbly said, "Zheng Shilang, please inside." ”
His voice was so small that only the two of them could hear him.
The guest nodded and walked into the room.
Ming 19 then followed and closed the door. At this time, the guest also took off the hat on his head, and it was Yang Shouwen.
"Ming Nineteen, how do you know it's me?"
Ming Nineteen grinned and said, "Zheng Shilang, I have no other skills, but I have a good pair of ears." As long as it's a sound I've heard, there's basically nothing wrong with it. Not to mention that although Zheng Shilang has a good official dialect, he has a Youzhou accent, which is quite unique...... I heard, that Xibei goods ran away? What is the Seishiro going to do next? ”
Yang Shouwen put the hat on the table.
He sat down, looked at Ming Nineteen, and said, "Your fourth brother left me a letter...... Those Annan people may jump over the wall in a hurry, although there are Xiao Pei and Yang Siqiao over there to help him, but he is still very dangerous. I'm ready to leave immediately and head to Dongting Township.
It's just that I'm not familiar with life there, so I came to you for help. ”
Ming Nineteen heard this and immediately smiled.
"My fourth brother really didn't see the wrong person, and knew that Zheng Shilang was a righteous person.
Speaking of which, I don't know the situation in Dongting Township very well. However, my fourth brother has already explained...... Zheng Shilang can leave at any time, and Ming 13 will be there to answer. When the time comes, she will fully cooperate with the Levy Lang. ”
"Ming Thirteen?"
Yang Shouwen was stunned, and then smiled: "Your brother?" Why does this sound so weird? ”
After saying that, he stood up and took up his hood, "In that case, then we will leave at once, so that there will be no more mistakes." (To be continued.) )
