Song Yun'er was very happy and asked Yang Qiuchi, "Brother, how did you find out that this silver is in the wood?" I saw that the trappers had also inspected the wood, but why didn't they find it? ”

Evidently, the carpenters, seeing that the gate was strictly searched, hollowed out the large log, melted the silver into pieces of silver, stuffed them into a hole in the wood, and plugged the entrance. Although these carpenters are exquisitely workmanlike, and there is no gap in the cross-sectional plug, there is a flaw that they did not pay attention to, and there is no way to hide it. ”

"What's the flaw?"

"This piece of plug wood is movable and can be removed, and because of this, these days the plug wood has a different degree of evaporation from the wood itself, so the degree of dryness and wetness is different, and if you look closely and touch it, you can find it."

Song Yun'er suddenly realized and said with a smile: "You are so powerful, you can find this!" ”

Yang Qiuchi smiled: "Didn't I say that any crime will leave traces, it depends on whether you can find it." ”

Kang Huai listened to it on the side, and also gave a thumbs up in admiration: "No wonder Master Gu Fu Yin Kuayang, you are like a god in solving the case, and the young man is promising, it's really good." This time, thanks to Lord Yang's help, otherwise, I can't keep this black yarn, I'm afraid I will still be in prison! ”

Yang Qiuchi hurriedly humbled a few words.

Kang Huai ordered that Han Huagang, who colluded with the guards to steal the treasury silver, and Li Carpenter, the owner of the shop, and others be brought over. The men were escorted to the backyard, and when they saw the several silver sticks piled on the ground, their faces changed, but they all insisted that they didn't know where the log came from. The big Han Huagang struggled desperately, scolding a few times from time to time.

Yang Qiuchi was too lazy to talk to them now, and saw that the fire in the workshop had been completely extinguished, so he stepped into the room to check carefully, and found a big melting pot in the room, and studied it with great interest for a while, and he already had the bottom in his heart.

Kang Huai's silver was found, and the big stone in his heart fell to the ground, this person got all the stolen goods, even if they refused to admit their guilt, they were not afraid, they were tortured slowly. He ordered that all the silver ingots and prisoners be taken back to the yamen to await trial.

When the group returned to the yamen, they were greeted by Bai Sumei's mother and daughter and two escort officers coming out of it. Seeing Yang Qiuchi, Bai Sumei was overjoyed, and was about to say hello, but she could see that there were many people behind her, and there were also people tied up with five flowers, so she quickly avoided the side of the road.

Along the way, Dahan Huagang is scolding. Jin Yiwei was very annoyed, and kept beating him all the way, and pressed his head down so hard that it almost hit the ground, and stumbled forward all the way. Huagang is very stubborn, and this time he is even more scolded.

Yang Qiuchi walked over and asked the escort officer: "How is it?" Is the handover process completed? ”

The two officials hurriedly bowed down and replied: "Lord Hui: The handover procedures have been completed, and the matter of sending it to the flow center will be handed over to this place to be responsible." ”

Yang Qiuchi nodded: "Very good, the two of you have worked hard, I will arrange the rest of the things, you go back to rest for a while, and you can return to the capital." He took out two ingots of silver from his bosom and handed them to them, "A little meaning, please laugh at it." ”

These two escort officers are simply playing in the mountains and rivers this trip, where is there any hard work, knowing that this Lord Yang in front of him is righteous and generous, so he no longer refuses, and after bowing down and thanking him, he took it with both hands and said goodbye to Yang Qiuchi and left.

After Yang Qiuchi sent away the two officials, he found that Bai Sumei and Mrs. Bai both looked nervously at the group of people who had just been caught and walked in front of them, and asked a little strangely, "Sumei, what's wrong?" ”

Bai Sumei pointed to the back of the big Han Huagang, and said in a trembling voice: "That person...... The man's voice...... It seems like...... It seems that my father's original subordinate was the general manager, the general manager who led the team to participate in the protection of Luan's driving and later rebelled! His name is Wu Yangjun! ”

Madame Bai's eyes were even more like they were about to burst into flames: "That's right, this voice is his, and the body shape is exactly the same!" It must be in disguise! ”

Yang Qiuchi's head smacked, and he hurriedly asked in surprise: "You guys are not mistaken?" ”

"That's right!" Madame Bai said hatefully, "He rebelled by himself, and even caused our master to be beheaded, and I know his voice and appearance turned to ashes!" ”

Bai Sumei also said: "It's Wu Yangjun!" That's right, he was my father's former deputy, and he often came to my house to play. His voice and appearance are exactly the same, and you can't be wrong! ”

Those people had already gone away, Yang Qiuchi was surprised and delighted, chased after him, and suddenly shouted loudly from behind: "Wu Yangjun Wu General!" ”

Dahan Huagang suddenly heard someone calling his original name and official title from behind, and he couldn't help but stop and turn around. Yang Qiuchi sneered: "Sure enough, it's you, Mr. Wu!" You wouldn't have thought that you would meet acquaintances in Kunming, southwest thousands of miles away from the capital, right? ”

Hua Gang also sneered: "I don't know what you're talking about? But when he saw Mrs. Bai and Bai Sumei following behind Yang Qiuchi, his face suddenly changed greatly.

Yang Qiuchi took a closer look at his face, and suddenly reached out and grabbed the back of his ear and pulled it violently, and a human skin mask was removed, revealing a completely different face.

"Wu Yangjun! You dog thief! Give back my master's life! Madame Bai had already followed, and when she saw this face, she hissed and shouted. On the way, she had already picked a stone to hide behind her, and suddenly a stone was thrown over, and Hua Gang was firmly grasped by the brocade guards on both sides, and there was nowhere to avoid it, this stone hit his mouth and nose, and he screamed miserably, and suddenly his nose bleeded and his front teeth were smashed off.

Madame Bai still wanted to find a stone, Yang Qiuchi persuaded her: "Madam Bai, don't fight, this person participated in the rebellion and will be executed by Ling Chi, wouldn't it be cheaper for you to kill him now!" Bai Sumei also hurriedly grabbed her mother.

Hua Gang spat out a mouthful of blood and said in a deep voice, "Sister-in-law...... Sister-in-law, I'm sorry, it's me who has caused Big Brother Bai...... Really sorry ......"

Mrs. Bai listened to his apology, she already had a stone in her hand, but she couldn't bear to beat him again, thinking of Bai Qianzong's tragic death, she was angry and sad, and couldn't help crying.

Kang Huai ran over and asked, "Lord Yang, what's the matter?" ”

Yang Qiuchi said: "Bring these prisoners to the lobby first, I have something to say to Master Kang." ”

Seeing his solemn expression, Kang Huai nodded hurriedly, and ordered to take Mrs. Bai and Bai Sumei to the living room to drink tea and wait, and bring these prisoners to the lobby to await trial.

Yang Qiuchi and Kang Huai came to the back hall, and Yang Qiuchi showed Kang Huai the waist card of his envoy of the Jinyi Guard. Kang Huai was shocked when he saw it, and bowed his hand: "It turns out that Lord Yang is the special envoy of the Jinyi Guard, please forgive me for the crime of neglect of my duties." ”

Yang Qiuchi put away the waist card and said: "Your Excellency, you don't have to be polite, I identified myself because Su Mei and her mother and daughter recognized that Hua Gang was one of the anti-thief leaders who participated in the kidnapping of Guifei Luan last year. His real name is Wu Yangjun. It turned out to be a general manager under Su Mei's father, Bai Qian. ”

"Really?" Kang Huai was surprised and delighted.

"Yes, since it involves rebellion, I will take over this case now."

"Obedience!" Kang Huai arched his hand.

Back in the lobby, Kang Huai removed all the officials, and all of them were escorted by Yang Qiuchi's brocade guards to take up the hall. Master Jin sat on the master's seat on the side of him, ready to record a confession.

Yang Qiuchi ordered to bring the big man to the lobby, and Yang Qiuchi asked: "Wu Yangjun, your makeup skills are not bad, you almost hid me, no wonder the Jinyi Guards can't find you all over the world." It turns out that you hid in the southwest and put on makeup. Where are your comrades? It's not really recruited! ”

Wu Yangjun sneered: "Since it has fallen into your hands, if you want to kill it, you want me to say something, dream!" "Madame Bai smashed out a few of his teeth with a stone just now, and his speech leaked, and his lips were swollen and high, and some nosebleeds flowed down.

Yang Qiuchi saw that he was still a good man, and he couldn't help laughing, and said to Nangong Xiong: "I'll leave it to you, drag him down, you must pry his mouth open, but don't kill him!" ”

The interrogation of this Wu Yangjun is not a question of admitting guilt, but a question of making him confess the whereabouts of his comrades.

For this problem, forensic medicine and reasoning can't help too much, and besides, this person caused Bai Sumei's father to die tragically, causing Bai Sumei's mother and daughter to be exiled, and it is also appropriate for him to suffer a little, so this work is handed over to the Jinyi guards, who have rich experience in this.

After Nangong Xiong ordered someone to drag Wu Yangjun down and torture him, Yang Qiuchi ordered the Carpenter Li to bring the divine knife up, and asked, "Are you telling the truth yourself, or are we beating you to tell the truth?" ”

Carpenter Li knelt and kowtowed to Yang Qiuchi a few times, accompanied by a smiling face: "My lord, I really don't know how the silver got to my backyard, I can swear by a curse, really, I didn't lie." ”

"Really? You don't know that there is such a big piece of wood in the backyard of your workshop out of thin air? Did the wood fall from the sky? ”

Carpenter Li looked innocent: "I really don't know, my lord." ”

Yang Qiuchi supported his chin with his hands and said, "Okay, I'll ask you a few questions, you can explain it reasonably, I'll let you go right away!" ”

Carpenter Li's eyes lit up and he agreed.

Yang Qiuchi asked, "Do you have a door in your backyard?" - Remind you, we all looked at your workshop just now, don't try to lie! ”

"The villain doesn't dare, there is a small door."

"What's outside the door?"

"It's an alley."

"Where is your carpenter's shop in the alley?"

"In the middle."

"How wide is the alley?"

Carpenter Li now somewhat understood Yang Qiuchi's intention in asking this question, and his face turned a little pale: "I can pass two horses in parallel." ”

"How long is that piece of wood with silver?"

"It's more than a foot long." Carpenter Lee's forehead began to sweat.

Yang Qiuchi continued to ask unhurriedly, "Can you enter through the back door through the alley?" ”

"This ...... No. ”

"How high is the fence of your yard?"

"Two people tall."

"That piece of wood is so heavy, can you throw it through the wall?"

At this moment, there was no trace of blood on Carpenter Li's face, and he said in a low voice: "I can't." ”

"How did the other wood get to the backyard?"

"Carried in directly from the front door of the workshop......"

"What about this piece of wood?"

Carpenter Li couldn't support it anymore, and kowtowed again and again: "My lord, to tell you the truth, this wood was brought in by Nahuagang and put it there to me, saying that it would be stored with me for a few days, and gave me a preservation fee of one or two silver." I really didn't know there was stolen silver in that log. ”
