The Tu Gang Master walked past Leng Yi, stood still, and said, "Leng Zhixian, thank you for helping me find out what this beast has done. Thank you! ”

Leng Yi looked at him, and only said lightly: "The sky has eyes!" ”

After the leader of the Tu gang was taken away, Governor Liao asked the arrester to lead the way and came to the corner where the body was found to check, and sure enough, it was Tu Er and He Xian. Hung from two trees respectively.

Leng Yi said: "Lord Liao, I want to check the corpse. ”

"No need, isn't this a suicide note? There was no sign of compulsion in them. It was supposed to be suicidal. ”

Leng Yi glanced at the corpse and nodded.

Liao Zhifu said: "Do you think that the leader of the Tu gang participated in the robbery of merchant ships and the kidnapping of hostages?" ”

Leng Yi said: "This is the lice on the bald head, an obvious thing." As a gang leader, how could he not know about this? ”

"This, it's hard to say, if it's really the people below who did it without him, he may not know, after all, the boat gang is too big."

"Our side has just discovered the cellar and the ledger, and Tu Er and He Xian committed suicide in fear of sin, how did they know? Don't adults think it's weird? ”

"This ......" Liao Zhifu said, "We have been looking for you all day, and they have probably guessed that you have fallen into this trap, so there is preparation, just now the guards of the Tu gang leader saw us arresting the Tu gang leader, and after they withdrew, they may have told Tu Er and them, so the two knew that the end was coming, so they hanged themselves, which makes sense." ”

"Really?" Leng Yi looked at Liao Zhifu and saw that he lowered his head, and then said slowly: "It's still the same sentence, paper can't hold the fire, and it will be found out eventually." ”

"Well, the government immediately organized an investigation. Wash up well, thank you! ”

The prefect of Liao immediately arranged for the prefect to summon all the big and small leaders of the boat gang, and at the same time conducted an investigation among the gang.

The entire investigation lasted three days.

In the past three days, Leng Yi still returned to the Yinling Inn to stay, arranged by Master Dong, to visit the various adjutants of the prefect one by one.

These adjutants originally didn't take a small county order in their eyes, but for Leng Yi, they were indeed very enthusiastic, the reason was very simple, they had headhunters from the six gates of the capital as guards, which showed that they had a very good background, although they didn't know what the background was, but it was definitely amazing. This is one of them; Second, this time, Liao Zhifu, the leader of the Leng Yi gang, cracked the murder case of the wife of the boat gang leader, and at the same time, he also inadvertently exposed the heinous crimes committed by the boat gang. Governor Liao is now blue-eyed about Leng Yi. Naturally, the adjutants deliberately stammered.

Therefore, when Leng Yi went to pay New Year's greetings, these adjutants all went to the gate to greet him in person, and also set up a banquet to entertain him, calling Leng Yi a brother and brother, and returning a generous gift before leaving.

However, there is a not very good thing, that is, the corpse odor on Leng Yi and Cheng Luojie, the two of them soaked in a day's bath and used up a large bucket of soap powder, but they couldn't get rid of the corpse odor on their bodies. It will take ten days and half a month for the smell to disappear.

Leng Yi is a little better, Cheng Luojie has a headache, as a girl, the fragrance on her body is comfortable, but she now has the smell of corpses, the most unpleasant smell in the world, wherever she goes, she pinchs her nose and walks away, and looks at her with strange eyes, making her so ashamed that she can't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into.

Fortunately, Leng Yi didn't dislike it, and still talked to her with great interest, which made her feel a little at ease.

On the third day, Governor Liao sent someone to invite Leng Yi.

In the flower hall, Governor Liao pointed to several large files piled up on the table, and said: "The matter has been investigated, and a number of gangs and small leaders who participated in the robbery of merchant ships and kidnapping hostages have been found, and they all unanimously confessed that they were the deputy gang leader He Xian. The Tu gang leader has nothing to do with it. It seems that the Tu gang leader was really kept in the dark and unaware. He was wronged, and the government is ready to acquit him. How about Lord Leng wishes? ”

Leng Yi didn't look at those files, looked at Governor Liao's mansion, and said lightly: "This is Lord Liao's case, naturally Lord Liao decides." ”

Governor Liao breathed a sigh of relief: "This case was also unintentionally solved by you, of course I have to listen to your opinion." By the way, the woman who was rescued in the cellar with you was Xu Yuanwai's wife, and after identification, the person who forcibly killed her was the nephew of the leader of the Tu gang, and when he was arrested, he found that he had committed suicide in fear of sin. Wiped his neck with a knife. ”

Leng Yi just looked at him and didn't say anything.

The prefect said: "I understand your thoughts, and I also suspect that this Tu gang leader is involved." But they all said in unison, that there was no evidence to condemn him! -- The government will reprimand the leader of the Tu gang and ask him to strictly restrain his subordinates and not to do anything that violates the king's law. At the same time, he had to hand over all the money and goods obtained by his brother and the hostages they had robbed merchant ships, and imposed a huge fine! ”

Leng Yi still didn't speak.

"This major case is mainly solved by you, and your merits will be reported to the authorities, and in the three-year assessment, it will also give you a good evaluation."

"Thank you, sir!" Leng Yi got up and bowed.

Seeing that he finally had a smile, the prefect was relieved.

―――――――――――――――――――――――― the Tu gang leader was acquitted, and when he left the Yamen, the boat gang became another deputy gang leader, Bao Lie, dispatched hundreds of boat gang members, blocked all the streets, and dozens of martial arts masters, hugging each other and hugging each other, strictly guarded, a luxury carriage went all the way to the door of the Yamen prison, directly picked up the Tu gang leader, and escorted him back to Tufu.

The leader of the Tu gang got out of the carriage and found that the mansion was surrounded by gang members of the boat gang, and they were all close people. The number of bodyguards who follow them is several times more than before! Almost didn't know each other, so he turned his head and asked Bao Lie, the deputy gang leader behind him: "What's going on?" ”

Bao Lie said in a low voice: "When you get to the house, you will report to the gang leader in detail." ”

The leader of the Tu gang nodded, stepped into the gate of the mansion, and after entering, he found that there were also three steps and one post inside, and five steps and one sentry. Moreover, they are all capable helpers. The Tu gang leader frowned, and went all the way to the bedroom study, and the dozens of bodyguards who followed immediately surrounded the bedroom. Even the rooftops are guarded by a dozen people with light skills.

The Tu gang leader took off his robe and sat down on the chair, looked at Bao Lie coldly, and said, "Say it!" ”

"Yes!" Bao Lie took out a letter from his arms, handed it to the Tu Gang Leader, and said, "Gang Leader, please take a look." ”

The leader of the Tu gang stared at him, slowly took it over, took out the letter paper and glanced at it, and suddenly his body was shocked, only to see the dragon flying and phoenix dancing on it: "The boat gang is sinful, and it is difficult to write with a chime pen!" The culprit, the boat gang leader! Within a month, you will take your head! ”

Bao Lie said in a low voice: "This is the day before yesterday, on the plaque at the entrance of our ship, a bull's ear knife was inserted into it. In order to prevent accidents, his subordinates made arbitrary claims and mobilized the gang to be vigilant. At the same time, dozens of masters were hired with high salaries to take strict precautions. ”

The Tu Gang Master nodded slowly and said, "Do you know who it is?" ”

"I don't know!" Bao Lie said: "The day before yesterday, the subordinates were convening the leaders of the gang in the hall to arrange the matters, in the morning, the subordinates were sure that there was no such thing on the plaque, and after eating at noon, they discussed in the lobby and saw this thing!" At that time, because of the meeting, the entrance of the hall was heavily guarded, and it was impossible for outsiders to come in! The other party specially chose this time to write the book, which is clearly a demonstration to us! The subordinates felt that the level of this person's martial arts was unfathomable! Don't take it lightly! That's why this counter-deployment was made. ”

The Tu Gang Master nodded slowly and said, "How is my brother's funeral?" ”

"It's been arranged, right in the front lobby. However, just in case, a pergola was erected outside the gate to set up a mourning hall to receive condolences and prevent them from entering. ”

"That's a good arrangement!" Tu Gang Leader said.

After a few days, the Tu gang leader closed the door, refused all visitors, and only sat quietly in front of the real mourning hall of his younger brother in the house to burn paper.

That night, the leader of the Tu gang sat in front of his brother's spirit and burned paper, and several personal guards stood guard around him. The white lanterns on the mourning hall sway in the wind.

While slowly burning the paper money, the leader of the Tu gang prayed in his heart: Brother, it's not that my brother is ruthless, and I have no choice but to let the guards kill the two of you and your nephew, and throw you out, in order to save me, otherwise, we will all be finished.

The leader of the Tu gang was glad that he had prepared in advance, and from the beginning of the robbery and kidnapping, he put his brother in charge of the accounts. He also only gave instructions to He Xian, the deputy gang leader, and only listened to He Xian's report, and the people involved in this matter were only a small number of people in the boat gang, all of whom were his dead soldiers. All activities are supervised by the nephew and reported to him. After Leng Yi insisted on living in the small courtyard where the hostages were held and the accounts were kept, the Tu gang leader began to think about how to deal with the worst outcome. and gave an explanation to his personal guards for killing people.

When he was restrained by Yin Ying, he sent a code signal to the guards to act, and after the guards withdrew from the outside of the courtyard, they immediately acted and hanged Tu Er and He Xian alive. Before hanging himself, he forced Tu Er to write that suicide note. At the same time, kill the nephew who knows the inside story.

Therefore, the investigation of the prefect of the province failed to find evidence that he participated in the robbery and kidnapping, and he had taken many benefits from the boat gang before. However, he was ordered to hand over all the stolen goods to the yamen and return them to the victims' families according to the records in the account books. If there is no family member, it will be handed over to the imperial court.

In the past two days, Tufu has been busy with this matter, this amount is very large, and there is not so much money, so he has to sell some of the fields, businesses, and ships, and only then can he make up enough money and hand it over to the prefect.

Finally relaxed, the Tu gang leader wanted to open it very much, stay in the green mountains, and was not afraid of running out of firewood. The money will be recovered soon.

He sat in front of Lingtang, looked at his brother's tablet, and secretly gritted his teeth and said: It's all a good thing done by that Leng Zhi County! When this rumor passed, he had to ask his dog to be martyred for his younger brother, and then he could get out of the evil anger in his heart. (To be continued)
