Yue Su is now the crown prince and the prince, the secretary of the criminal department, and the Yin of the Shuntian Mansion, the small governor of Bazhou, and the direct jurisdiction of the Shuntian Mansion, how dare he not go out of the city to greet him. After receiving the notice from the Shuntian Mansion, he had already sent people out of the city for thirty miles and explored along the road.

After welcoming Yue Su into the city, Yue Su and his entourage had dinner at the Zhizhou Yamen, and stayed in the Yamen to rest after the meal. The next morning, led by Zhang Sheng and accompanied by the governor of Bazhou, Yue Su and others came to the scene of the crime.

When he arrived at the place, Yue Su first carefully surveyed the terrain, this is not the only way to enter Beijing, but it is extremely convenient, there are few people on the road, and it is much quieter than taking the road to Bazhou City. However, the roads are not dangerous, and they are not a place for bandits. From the geographical analysis, it can be concluded that the other party is by no means a bandit or a grass bandit, and the target is the convoy of the British public.

Zhang Sheng found the specific location of the robbery and the ditch where he was hiding. Yue Su took a look, most of the blood stains on the ground were covered by dust, only a little bit, the ditch next to the road, not two meters wide, only about one meter deep, and the flowing water below was just enough to pass the foot.

Seeing this small ditch, Yue Su chuckled, and thought to himself, with Zhang Sheng's figure, even if he knelt below, he couldn't hide his traces.

So, he said, "Steward Zhang, you are hiding in this ditch." ”

Zhang Sheng nodded and said, "Exactly, it should be in this position." As he spoke, he pointed two or three paces away from his feet.

"Okay, Manager Zhang, please go down again, the headquarters wants to see if you are hidden after you hide." Yue Su said with a smile.

"My lord, what do you mean by this, don't you believe the villain's words?" Zhang Sheng said with some dissatisfaction.

"What does the main department mean, you don't have to ask, just obey the orders." Yue Su was still smiling.

Don't look at Yue Su is smiling and talking, but in his tone, there is an aura that cannot be disobeyed. Zhang Sheng didn't dare to say more, squatted down to remove his shoes and socks, and jumped down by himself.

This guy also understands that if he doesn't jump, this Lord Yue will be able to throw himself down.

According to the way he dodged last time, Zhang Sheng squatted down, and everyone took a look, and the fat body didn't have to deliberately stand by the ditch to see it.

Yue Su nodded and said, "Steward Zhang, the water is cold down there, come up quickly." After speaking, he no longer looked at him, but turned his head to look at Xing Ying, who was following him, and asked, "Xing Zhutou, what do you think of this case?" ”

The ins and outs of the case, Yue Su said that he was on the road yesterday, so he talked to Xing Ying, and he didn't use his opinion at that time, he just asked him to study first, and when he arrived at the place, after looking at the terrain, he said his thoughts in combination with the geographical situation.

Now that the terrain has also been seen, and Steward Zhang's appearance after hiding, he has also understood, and Yue Su also plans to listen to Xing Ying's opinion.

"If you go back to your lordship, I think that there are other strange things in this case, and I am afraid that it is not as Zhang Guan said." Xing Ying bowed down and said.

"Oh?" Yue Su smiled slightly and said, "Tell me." ”

"I think that from the topography, this place is not a place where bandits and horse bandits haunt, and the possibility of bandits blocking and robbing is very low, and there is a good chance that they are coming specifically for the silk goods of the British public......"

"Yes, yes...... That's it, it will never be done by ordinary bandits, it must be the Li family coming at us. No, it's for the Prince. The messenger was pulling Zhang Sheng to climb up, and before this guy could climb up, when he heard Xing Ying say this, he immediately echoed it. Because of his speech, his center of gravity was almost unstable, and he was pulled down with his errand servants.

"I didn't let you speak, what a mouthful do you have!" Yue Su scolded, and said: "Don't pull him, let him come up by himself, can't he come up by himself last time, the ministry wants to see how he came up this time." ”

"Yes, sir." When the messenger heard this, how dare he pull Zhang Sheng again, as soon as he let go of his hand, he heard a "plop" sound, and Zhang Sheng sat in the water.

"You...... You ......" Zhang Sheng was too obese, this fall was not light, his buttocks were thick, although there was nothing wrong, his body was shocked. Pointing at the officer, it was the fire that struck upward.

"What are you, it's not like I want to let go." After the officer finished speaking, he took two steps back, just waiting to see Zhang Sheng's joke.

Zhang Sheng struggled to get up, and when he saw that no one pulled him anymore, he scolded Yue Su in his heart. But it's useless to scold, you have to climb up on your own. The last time he climbed up, he had already used all his strength to feed, and he had added a bit of potential under high tension. Now, there is no danger around, and that potential is gone, and it is really hard to get up.

Yue Su ignored him, looked at Xing Ying again, and said, "You go on." ”

"Yes, sir. According to what I saw in my humble position, not to mention who the robbers were, but since the target was the silk goods of the British public, it must be necessary to do a thorough investigation and investigation, and how many people in the convoy, who led the way, and which way to go, we must find out clearly. According to common sense, since you want to rob the British duke's things, you must kill everyone and do it cleanly, otherwise you will bring yourself into great trouble. If I am the leader of the robbers, after the killing, I must count the corpses, and if I find that the number of people is wrong, I will immediately continue the search to find out who is there. Steward Zhang is the leader of the team, there should be a number of robbers, Steward Zhang's characteristics are obvious, it is very easy to identify, and if he misses anyone, he should not be missed. Moreover, judging from the place where Steward Zhang is hiding, as long as the robbers glance over here, they can see it, how could they not pay attention. This is one of the suspicious. Also, Steward Zhang said that he had heard the robbers report to their homes and reveal their identities when they talked to each other. I was thinking about it, could this be the robber's intention, deliberately saying it to Steward Zhang, so as to frame him. Or, Steward Zhang stole himself, teamed up with his subordinates, and shared the grandfather's silk goods, which is unknown, and then made up an excuse, saying that he was robbed. ”

Zhang Sheng, who was still in the ditch, was about to climb up, but as soon as he heard Xing Ying's words, he was angry and planned to scold. But as soon as his mouth opened, he remembered what Yue Su had just said, and forcibly swallowed it again. This time I fell down, I was originally gritting my teeth and climbing up, exhaling and inhaling in my mouth, and the little strength I had just mustered was all leaked at once. His fat body went down with it. With a "bang", he sat in the water again.

The officers above laughed when they saw this scene. Yue Su and Xing Ying didn't feel it either.

However, Lord Yue still didn't have the heart to care about this, Xing Ying's words just now coincided with his own opinion. Yue Su nodded and said, "Xing Zhutou, then you see, what should we do next?" ”

Xingying understood that this was Lord Yue considering himself, so he immediately bowed down and said, "I think that the top priority is to find the bodies of the convoy guards first, so as to determine the surname of the robbery. At the same time, send people to find the whereabouts of the silk goods, those silk goods, as long as they are not destroyed, are still relatively easy to find, and they may be able to find clues in the large and small silk villages in the nearby prefectures and counties. After all, the robbers are weak in their hearts and dare not carry so many silk goods with them for too long, so as not to show their traces. ”

"That's a good point!" Yue Su nodded with satisfaction and said, "In that case, this matter will be under your full command, and you will now order someone to find the corpse and silk goods." ”

"Obedience." After Xing Ying finished speaking, he turned his head and shouted, "Get the map!" ”

Liumen has always gone out to handle cases and get people, how can there be no map, their map was dialed from the East Factory back then, and the level of detail can be imagined. Especially on the side of Beizhili, the map is more detailed, and the area around Bazhou is also depicted in detail.

The catcher in charge of the map quickly took the map, Xing Ying ordered, spread it directly on the ground, and he squatted down to check it carefully. With Yue Su beside him, he naturally saw that when he saw the map drawn, he couldn't help but be surprised, the geography of Bazhou drawn on it was very clear, and the mountains and rivers were drawn very clearly, which was a little more detailed than the geographical maps of the local yamen. But then, Yue Su was overjoyed, the map of the six doors was not his own, and after returning to Beijing, let Xing Ying hand in the map and draw a copy on his side, which might be of great help to himself.

Not mentioning Yue Su's intentions, Xing Ying immediately unfolded the cloth after observing the map in detail. There were several secluded places in the surrounding area, suitable for burying the body, and they were ordered to be searched. But wherever there is looseness in the soil, dig it up and examine it. But at this point, there is no need for him to tell him more, the catching of the six doors is all training, and these things are very clear. Then, he arranged for people to visit the surrounding prefectures and counties, and asked all the silk villages to understand. These people are also very good at observing words and feelings, and of course they don't need to ask too much.

Everything was arranged, Yue Su arranged some messengers from Shuntianfu and Bazhou who were familiar with the terrain to follow, this is not a person who is not worried about Xing Ying, but he just wants to ask the messengers of Shuntianfu to learn from others, what to do. Of course, there is also a motive for a little bit of surveillance.

At the moment, Zhang Sheng has not climbed up, and is struggling on the edge of the ditch with all his strength. Yue Su glanced at him and chuckled, "I wonder how you came up in the first place, it's very possible that the guards are stealing from themselves." ”

"My lord, I didn't ......" As soon as he heard this, Zhang Sheng was so frightened that he hurriedly explained, his mind was confused, and he fell down again. But this time it can be better, not to sit on the feet, but to land on the knees.

"Alright, alright...... Go down and get him up. "Yue Su really can't stand this kind of wasteful behavior.

The messenger dragged Zhang Sheng up, and then returned to Bazhou to wait for news.

The people who were following Yue Su now were not much less than before, and the speed of their movement was much faster than when they came. When I came to the outside of Bazhou City, it was almost noon, and there were more people rushing into the city to eat. Lord Shangshu and Lord Zhizhou returned to the city, can they still line up in the back, Zhizhou gave the squad leader behind him a look, and the squad leader immediately understood, ran to the front with the errand to open the road, converged the soldiers defending the city, and ordered the people and vehicles to wait for each other.

When Yue Su and the others were about to arrive at the city gate, pedestrians and vehicles had already given way to the road, and everyone walked directly towards the city, and at this moment, Yue Su suddenly heard someone shouting on the side of the road, "Hey, isn't this our aunt?" ”

"It's my aunt." Then, several people shouted: "Auntie! ”…… Yue Su wondered in his heart, who is this shouting? Curiously turned his head to look.
