Chapter 061: Cicadas, Praying Mantises, Yellow Sparrows
Huang Dan and others withdrew in a hurry, and the bloodstains on the side of the road could not be erased, and Lu Guan, who smashed open the gate of Yixing City in the middle of the night, said that Huang Wenqing, the magistrate of the county, sent hundreds of officials and young men to search along the forks, and saw the bloodstains on the roadside, as well as the big knife inserted in the trunk of the roadside, and finally found Yang Yi in the forest search.
Both the old and new parties have the same attitude towards Yang Yi's robbery, if even personal safety is not guaranteed, what is the authority of an official? It is one thing to fight in the officialdom, but it is another thing for bandits or ordinary people to challenge the authority of officials, and the attitude of both the old and new parties in this matter is to crack down severely.
Yang Yi is the champion of the new department, which is the attention of the world, and he was robbed at this time, and its impact is far worse than that of Luo Ye being killed in Beijing. When Zhang Dian and Zhao Xu heard the news, they were even more furious, and asked the Criminal Department to send hundreds of experienced head hunters, and the team of He Shi, the servant of the Criminal Department, rushed to Liangzhejiang Road day and night.
At this time, the Liangzhejiang Road, under the auspices of Yu Yingxian, the punishment envoy, launched a huge 'strike hard' operation, and the Maitreya sect was the first to bear the brunt.
Yu Yingxian asked people to paint portraits of the dead Maitreya disciples in the forest, starting from their origins and who they usually came into contact with, and indeed found out many Maitreya disciples.
Yang Yi saw that He Shikuan brought a large group of cadres with six doors, and he had a plan in his heart, and when they met, Yang Yi said: "Lord He, in the process of my abduction, I heard some of their conversations, and I can confirm that they are the remnants of the original Beizhou Wang Ze, these people have mentioned Shouchang and Sui'an many times, and it is inferred that the nest of the Maitreya Sect is very likely to be in the area of Shouchang. ”
"Shouchang?"
He Shikuan's brows tightened, this place name quickly reminded him of Luo Ye's case, Luo Ye had just been transferred back to Beijing from Shouchang and was killed at home, this case Kaifeng Mansion has been pursuing, and the Criminal Department has also participated, but because there are not many clues, there has been no progress, could it be that this is also the work of Maitreya?
"That's right! It is Shouchang, Lord He may wish to track it from the direction of Shouchang, it is likely to have a major gain. ”
Yang Yi originally wanted to slowly find out the details of Maitreya, and then start after becoming an official in the future, so that he could always win a political achievement for himself, but now, if he has revenge, he will not revenge the non-gentleman, as long as he can give the Maitreya Sect the slightest blow, he will spare no effort to do it.
"Good! Without further ado, this official will take people to Shouchang! ”
"Wait, Lord He, I'm going with Lord He!"
"No! Zhuang Yuanlang must enter Beijing as soon as possible, and your leg injury has not healed now, so it is not appropriate to run around, Zhuang Yuanlang can rest assured, this official will definitely make every effort to investigate this case, return Zhuangyuanlang a fair, and also return the world's son Lang Lang Lang. ”
He Shikuan's tone was very firm, Yang Yi thought about it and didn't insist anymore, Maitreya repeatedly attacked him, he really wanted to kill Shouchang, there was revenge, there was revenge, it was best to uproot the other party, and the chicken and dog would not be left!
But his current identity is a little embarrassing, and he has not even officially taken office as an official in Jixian Academy, if he kills Shouchang regardless of it, it will be no different from the revenge and brawl of the Jianghu people, which is not in line with his current identity.
Since he couldn't go to Shouchang, Yang Yi didn't stay in Wuxi for long.
The speed of the ship back to Beijing has been driven to the fastest, but Yang Yi is not enough, his legs are injured, and he can only lie in the cabin every day to recuperate, which is very unhappy!
"Aoba, go and invite Lin Daochang and Ma Hanqing in."
"Yes, Great Official!" Aoba left the cabin in response.
This time Qingyun Lao Dao is very interesting, although he learned that Yang Yi has successfully escaped from the predicament, he still sent two masters to be his guards, one is called Ma Hanqing, male, twenty-three years old, is the most proud lay disciple of Qingyun Lao Dao, Yang Yi has never seen him perform martial arts, but from some subtleties, it can be judged that this person is definitely not weak.
There is also a woman named Lin Ethereal, female, twenty years old, Qingyun did not agree with her to become a monk, but this woman has a very strong heart to enter the Tao, she wears a Taoist robe, wears a Taoist crown, and dresses up as an authentic female Taoist priest every day, she is very reluctant to be sent to guard Yang Yi, and she has not had a good face for Yang Yi, and she is not allowed to be called by her name, but she must be called Lin Daochang.
After the two came in, their attitudes were completely different, Lin Miao kept a straight face and didn't speak, but Ma Hanxin was very respectful to Yang Yi, and clasped his fists and saluted: "I don't know what the adults command?" ”
"Han Qing doesn't have to be polite, sit down and talk!"
The other one didn't need to be greeted by Yang Yi, as soon as they came in, they found a place to sit down.
"That's the case, I want to ask the two of you to go to Beijing first, and help me keep an eye on two people, one is Li Xiangxian of the Yixiang Courtyard, and the other is Tan Yuan, the protector of the palace of Wang Xu, the commander of the horse, if it is not necessary, don't alarm them first, try to find out who they are secretly dealing with."
"My lord suspects that they are members of the Maitreya Sect?"
"Tan Yuan can't be sure yet, I'm just suspicious, that's why I let Han Qing you keep an eye on him; And Li Xiangxian has confirmed that she is not a member of the Maitreya Sect, but she may be controlled by the Maitreya Sect, so if you check who she contacts, she should also be able to find clues about the Maitreya Sect. ”
"In that case, why don't you leave this matter to the government?"
"I still have a glimmer of hope for Li Xiangxian, if she can take the initiative to cooperate, we should have a major gain, if we let the government force her, we may not get anything except to force her to death."
"Humph!" Lin Miao, who was next to him, suddenly snorted coldly, and said with a hint of disdain: "The master sent me here just to protect you, and I have no obligation to help you investigate these messy things." ”
Yang Yi was a little embarrassed when he heard it, he had seen Lin Miao in Dongxiao Palace, it is said that Lin Miao Miao is the highest among the younger generation in terms of martial arts and Taoist understanding, and his heart to the Tao is also the most sincere, the strange thing is that Qingyun Daoist just does not agree with her birth and practice, the reason is unknown, for this reason Lin Miao is not less pestering Qingyun Dao Chang.
Yang Yi suspected that Qingyun Lao Dao was annoyed by her, so he simply sent people here to be quiet.
Ma Hanqing smiled secretly and said: "Senior sister's words are not unreasonable, the master let us be responsible for the safety of the adults, if both of them leave, it is really inappropriate, so let's let me go to Beijing first, and the junior sister will walk with the adults!" ”
It can only be like this, Lin Mi is not his subordinate, people don't want to go, and Yang Yi can't say anything.
Waiting for the two of them to withdraw, Yang walked in with the medicine, Han Bi'er followed behind helplessly, and when she came in, she 'complained' to Yang Yi: "Yang Lang, A-Niang, she has to come by herself, the slave family can't persuade her!" ”
In this incident, Han Bier first protected the Yang family with her body on the boat, and then went to chase the bandits in person regardless of the danger, with wisdom and courage, affection and righteousness, if she hadn't chased after her, Yang Yi would probably have been tortured to death on the ship.
After this incident, Han Bier really won the approval of the Yang family, and let her change her name to mother!
Yang Yi smiled, he could understand the Yang family, that kind of profound mother-son relationship can never be replaced by others, he took the medicine bowl and drank the medicine in a big gulp, and said to Han Bi'er: "Bi'er, you don't understand, the medicine that my mother has handled is not bitter!" ”
Yang stretched out his hand and pointed a finger on his forehead: "You! I know that if you really feel sorry for your mother, you will cause less trouble in the future, and let your mother worry less! ”
Yang Yi grabbed her shoulder and comforted: "Mother, I have said that children are stars in the sky and descend to earth, no matter what calamity they encounter, they can always turn evil into good fortune!" So, even if your mother puts a hundred hearts! ”
"Auntie, Yang Lang is right, you don't have to worry too much!"
"Bi'er, you don't help him to coax me, A-Niang is still counting on you to help take care of him in the future! You're good! ”
Han Bi'er didn't know what to say, let her take care of Yang Yi, she couldn't control it, let her brush Yang's mind, she didn't dare! Standing there a little uneasy, without the demeanor of the conductor that day, Yang Yi was a little funny, maybe she cared too much about that, maybe she played the role of the little daughter-in-law too devotedly.
After Yang Yi escaped from danger, he learned of her performance that day, and he was very emotional, he felt that Han Bier was very smart at the beginning, but obviously he still underestimated her, this woman has been acting, and even she may not be able to tell the truth from the fake!
As long as she doesn't fake her feelings, Yang Yi is too lazy to study other things, some things are rare and confused!
He Shiwan carried hundreds of capable old officials of the Criminal Department, and did not go straight to Shouchang with great fanfare, as soon as he set off from Wuxi, he let those masters of the six doors disperse their actions, using various identities as a cover, and probing all the way to the past, He Shikuan stopped when he arrived in Muzhou.
Maitreya's repeated rebellions are the troubles of the imperial court's henchmen, and this blatant hijacking of the new champions, no matter what their purpose is, has touched the bottom line of the imperial court, but Maitreya has always been very secretive and good at disguising in various identities, so He Shikuan was extremely careful this time.
Yu Yingxian cracked down hard in Suzhou and Hangzhou, and indeed caught a lot of Maitreya disciples, but they were all small fish and shrimp, and they couldn't play a key role, but from the mouths of these lower-level disciples, he got some secret codes for Maitreya contact, and He Shikuan planned to use these codes to see if he could catch some big fish.
Xie Laogen is fifty-five years old, just like an honest old man, his curly beard makes him look a little sloppy, and his cloth clothes seem to have not changed for half a month, if you underestimate him because of this, it is normal.
In fact, Xie Laogen has been arresting fast in the criminal department for more than 30 years, in the past 30 years, he has cracked strange cases, and the number of Jiangyang thieves arrested can not be counted, and he is one of the best arrests in the criminal department.
Following Xie Laogen was Xie Sanlang, the father and son looked very similar, Xie Laogen leaned against the wall and took a nap, leaving Xie Sanlang to drink hard in front of the load.
At the mouth of a small alley not far away, Bai Ju, who arrived in Shouchang a day later than Xie Laogen and them, was drawing a triangle on the wall, and three small circles of different sizes were drawn outside the three top corners, which looked like a child's graffiti figure, but it was the original contact code of Maitreya, which was the fourth code he drew after arriving in Shouchang.
Of course, Bai Ju didn't expect to draw a few codes, there will be Maitreya disciples to contact him, stupidly self-throwing into the net, Maitreya people have always been very cautious, Hangzhou side of the accident, it can be expected that Maitreya must have changed the contact method, Bai Ju came here to draw an outdated code, will only make Maitreya people suspect that he has ulterior motives.
And what Bai Ju wants to do is to make the people of the Maitreya Sect doubt themselves, and if they have doubts, they may pay attention to his every move, and the role of the White Ju is to play the cicada, let the people of the Maitreya Sect play the praying mantis, and the yellow finch is none other than Xie Laogen, only with his rich experience, can he find out the mantis that is good at camouflage in the dense branches and leaves.
After drawing the figure, Bai Ju went to a small restaurant opposite to eat, and only left after half an hour.
There are people coming and going on the street, Xie Sanlang's Suzhou head is selling well, and Xie Laogen on the wall is still napping, probably because he is old and in good spirits, so he is busy with Xie Sanlang alone.
"San Lang, let's go, let's sell it in another place!" Xie Laogen suddenly stretched and said.
"Dad, why? Isn't it selling well here? ”
"You know a fart, I eat more salt than you eat rice, let you change it, you will change it!"
Xie Saburo didn't dare to contradict his father, so he had to reluctantly pack up the goods, but he kept muttering!
"If you rub it again, see that I don't break your legs!"
"But Dad, you have to give a reason!"
"Alas! You stupid boy, we have just arrived, and it is precisely because the goods are selling well that we have to change places, otherwise those ruffians will be entangled and you will have nothing to return today, understand? ”
"Oh oh......" Xie Saburo was in a hurry, as if he was afraid that there would really be a ruffian entangled, and quickly packed up the goods.
After the father and son walked out of the burden for a while, Xie Saburo took advantage of the fact that there was no one around, so he asked softly, "Dad, but what did you find?" ”
"See, the man in the shirt didn't look"
"Isn't it just a merchant selling along the street? I don't see anything suspicious! ”
"Stinky boy, learn more, you pay attention to his burden!"
"There's nothing wrong with the burden!"
If it weren't for the task, Xie Sanlang might have been beaten, and at this moment Xie Laogen had to patiently remind: "This person is indeed very much like a merchant, but one thing, in this short hundred and ten steps, he has already changed his shoulders twice." ”
Xie Saburo finally understood the truth, if he often carried the burden of people selling along the street, he would not change his shoulder once after walking for half a day, and now this person will change his shoulder twice in a hundred and ten steps, the only possibility is that this person is a novice, and he just happened to follow the direction of the white horse, no wonder he was taken by his father.
