Chapter 220: Jin Mantang

"Look at the two of you, do you remember those archers and killers in Xijiang Rice Lane last night?"

"Your Excellency, those archers and killers are the Warats who live in this courtyard?" Tang Xiao reacted.

"If this official expects it to be true, it should be them!"

"Your Excellency is right, those people are dead, haven't they all become ghosts?" Lu Yan said with a sneer.

It was a shame just now, and I was afraid of being like that.

Click......

Niu Dali personally led the team, and hundreds of brocade guards rushed in: "Brother Meng, are you okay, why don't you wait for Lao Niu to come over?" ”

"It's okay, this is indeed a rat's nest, but the building is empty!" Meng Yan explained.

"Ran away?"

"I didn't run, I died!"

"Dead, where is the body, why haven't you seen any of it?" Niu Dali hadn't reacted yet.

"Lord Niu, those who came back from Xicheng Terracotta this morning!" Tang Xiao explained.

"Oh, old cow understands, this courtyard is a hiding place for those Tartar archers and killers?" Niu Dali finally understood.

"Although the rats are all dead, there is still some gain from finding this rat nest, old cow, let your people search by themselves, and don't let go of any clues." Meng Yan pleaded.

"Don't worry, Brother Meng, I'll leave it to Lao Niu." Niu vigorously agreed, and commanded his subordinates to start searching.

"My lord, there is a discovery!"

"Let's go, go over!" Meng Yan and Niu Dali galloped away together, and a batch of weapons was found in a room in the west wing of the courtyard. There were scimitars used by the Tatars, as well as bows and arrows, and things like flying lines.

"My lord, take a look, is it the weapon used by the Wolf Guard?"

"At first glance, it's really similar, but in fact, these are not, after these people left, they didn't plan to come back, this weapon seems to be the exclusive weapon of the wolf guard under the command of Prime Minister Wara, you see that the pattern of this wolf's head is not clear. As far as I know. The craftsman who created the exclusive scimitar of the Wolf Guard is a Han Chinese, and the craftsmanship is exquisite, and the wolf head created is lifelike, and you look at the wolf head on it. There is no murderous aura in the eyes. One look at it you knows it's a fake! Meng Yan grabbed a scimitar. Pull it out, pointing to the wolf head on it and etching it.

"Really, this wolf head has no momentum at all."

"These things are something they deliberately let us discover. The purpose is simple, let's put the target of suspicion on the Wolf Guard! Meng Yan said.

"So, aren't those the archers and killers of Warat?" Niu Dali asked.

"If I'm not surprised, these people should be the same people who first assassinated me."

"Tatars?"

"Yes."

"Look, my lord, stable, stable......"

Meng Yan and Niu vigorously came out of the house, came to the stable, and saw the corpse of the horse that had fallen to the ground, and couldn't help but gasp.

Ruthless enough, decisive enough!

"My lord, there are thirty-three war horses in total!" Tang Xiao reported.

"Thirty-three war horses, that means that thirty-three people once lived in this courtyard?" Meng Yan said, "Tianxing, how many Tatars have we killed?" ”

"Twelve archers, twenty killers!"

"So there's another person who slipped through the net?" Meng Yan's eyes flashed, "Tang Xiao, where does that Gongbu Langzhong live?" ”

"It's not far, two streets away!"

"Let's go!" Meng Yan ordered.

Sigh......

"Where is Zhang Chong!"

"Mark it here!" Zhang Chong rushed forward from the darkness to Meng Yan.

"Knock!"

"No!"

"Who, it's the middle of the night, don't you know whose house this is, knocking on the door in the middle of the night?" There was a very displeased voice from inside the door.

"Jinfu?"

"My lord, the Ministry of Labor Langzhong Jin Mantang, forty-five years old this year, born in a craftsman, Xuande two years with the Jinshi background, first released to do a county Cheng, three years later appointed to the county, and then transferred to Beijing, in the Ministry of Industry as the director, five years ago in Langzhong to the present!"

"Family situation?"

"Married a wife, childless, and then took a concubine, and gave birth to a son and a daughter, son: Jin Baoyu, female: gold inlaid jade."

"This family must be crazy for money!" Niu Dali laughed.

"Who says it's not, it's really insulting to give such a cheesy name to a child and be born as a Jinshi!"

"You, who are you, what are you doing, do you know what kind of mansion this is?" The old man who guarded the door faced the fierce Jinyi Guard, and he had no power to stop him.

"Jinyiwei handles the case, and the idle people will all go away!"

Jinyiwei!

The old man was suddenly frightened into a cold sweat, the huge city of Beijing, who doesn't know the power of the eagle claws of the Jinyi guard, and being targeted by the Jinyi guard, there is absolutely no good end.

"Old Liutou, what's the matter, in the middle of the night, who asked you to open the door and let these people in?" Jin Mantang hadn't slept yet, he was reading in the study, and when he heard the movement at the door, he walked over quickly wearing a fur coat.

"Master, they are the ...... of the brocade guard"

"Jin Yiwei, can Jin Yiwei trespass on the official residence in the middle of the night?" Jin Mantang is the Langzhong of the Ministry of Industry in the end, and the Wupin Beijing official is neither big nor small, but he is also a figure in this forty-nine city, and he still has a bit of official authority when he stands up.

"Lord Jin, I'm disturbing your rest so late, there is a case that I want to ask Lord Jin to go back to accept our investigation!" Meng Yan walked into the Jin Mansion slowly.

"What kind of case, this official doesn't know!" Jin Mantang saw that Meng Yan was young and ran with a unicorn, so he suppressed his anger and did not attack.

The brocade guards who can wear unicorn robes are still so young, and there must be extraordinary forces behind them, and they have been officials for many years, and they still have this eyesight.

"The official hasn't said what the case is, and Lord Jin said that he doesn't know, could it be that Lord Jin knows the purpose of the official's visit?" Meng Yan smiled slightly.

Jin Mantang's face changed slightly: "The official is too lazy to talk nonsense with you, the official is going to rest, please leave immediately." Otherwise, this official will definitely participate in your play in front of the Holy Lord tomorrow! ”

"I'm afraid that Lord Jin doesn't have this chance!" Meng Yan shook his head and said, "Come on, please ask Lord Jin to move the Jinyi Wei Beiya!" ”

"Presumptuous, what right do you have to arrest people, without the approval of the Criminal Department and the driver's post of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, you arrested the officials of the DPRK without authorization, this is an attempt to rebel!"

"Master Kim, do you have to tell your sins in front of your family and children?" Meng Yan asked coldly.

"What crime has this officer committed?"

"Collusion with the Tatars, conspiracy to assassinate the imperial court, the evidence is conclusive. Do you want the official to say it again? ”

"Slander. You are spewing blood, what did this official do to collude with the Tatars? ”

"Dongshun Hutong, you have an annex, right?"

"How is it?"

"A few days ago, a group of Tatars moved into your compound. He also left a lot of weapons and horses inside. This group of Tatars attacked and killed their official in Jing'er Hutong near Xijiang Mixiang last night. According to the clues left by the killers, we know where they are hiding, which is your annex in Dongshun Hutong. Master Kim, do you think this has nothing to do with you? Meng Yan asked.

"It's just an abandoned courtyard of the official, no one has lived in it for a long time, and the official doesn't live there, how do you know what's going on there?" Jin Mantang argued.

"Since Lord Jin hasn't done it, why are you afraid to go back with us to be investigated?" Meng Yan asked.

"How can this official be afraid to go back with you to investigate, it is against the laws of the court for you to arrest people like this!"

"Did we say we're going to arrest someone?" Meng Yan said with a smile, "We just asked Lord Jin to learn about some of the situation, if we really want to arrest someone, will we still bother with you here with Lord Jin?" ”

"Lord Jin, does it have anything to do with you, just make it clear, our Jinyiwei case is about evidence, we will not wronged a good person, but we will not let go of a bad person, you can rest assured!" Niu Dali coughed lightly.

Jin Mantang was a little weak-hearted, but he knew that if he had a tough attitude and refused not to cooperate, these brocade guards in front of him would be even more suspicious of him.

"Okay, the official will go with you, but let the official explain to his family!" Jin Mantang said.

"That's no problem, Tang Xiao, accompany Master Jin in!"

"No!"

"Childe, there must be something wrong with this Jin Mantang!" Lin Tianxing whispered.

"His eyes are flickering, wandering, and he looks like he has a weak heart, check this person's past." Meng Yan nodded.

"Yes, Childe!"

"Brother Meng, when it comes to officials of the Ministry of Industry, you must be cautious, the Ministry of Industry has the most officials who have taken refuge in Wang Zhen." Niu Dali also reminded in a whisper.

"Oh, are the officials of the Ministry of Industry very close to Wang Zhen?"

"It's very close, up to the Shangshu Shilang, down to the chief and the followers, you can try to be Wang Zhenmen." Niu vigorously said.

"I see, thank you Brother Niu for reminding me."

"What's polite, Lao Niu will rely on Brother Meng in the future." Niu Dali said without hesitation.

"This is Lord Meng, the official has heard of your name, I didn't expect to meet on such an occasion!" Jin Mantang quickly came out of the inner courtyard.

"Lord Jin also knows about Meng?"

"Who in the capital doesn't know that you, Lord Meng, bravely broke into the Jinyi Wei Beiya in order to save the brother who was framed and wronged, and finally the people in the Beiya were rolling, and the people in the capital all applauded!" Jin Mantang said, "It's a pity! ”

"Lord Jin is saying that Meng was originally a hero who was jealous and hateful, but now he has also become the minion and helper of Jinyi Wei Beiya?" Meng Yan smiled.

"I didn't say that!"

"Lord Kim didn't say that, but he thought so in his heart." Meng Yan said with a smile, "This official is worthy of doing things, and as for his reputation, it is something outside his body, and it has no effect on me." ”

"Really?" Jin Mantang smiled.

"Please, Lord Kim!"

"Lao Niu, Jin Mantang is handed over to you, I won't go back to Beiya!" Meng Yan said vigorously to the cow.

"Brother Meng, if you don't go, how can I ask?" Niu Dali was stunned, Meng Yan arrested people, he didn't ask himself, but handed it to himself, what is this?

"Jin Mantang just went back to assist in the investigation, we can't use torture, and we can't detain it for too long, besides, this guy knows at a glance that it's just a small role, and all that we can catch are small fish, and what we can't catch is big fish!" Meng Yan Road.

"You mean catch big fish with small fish?" Niu Dali asked.

"Smart, but the important thing is that the thirty-third person, who is this person now, where is he hiding there, we don't know anything, if we catch Jin Mantang, then the clue will be broken!" Meng Yan Road.

"What about after the old cow asked?"

"Let him sign the record and release him!" Meng Yan Road.

"Old Cow understands!" Niu nodded vigorously.

"Tang Xiao, from now on, you turn light to darkness and continue to monitor Xicheng, I have a feeling that this person is hiding in Xicheng, maybe there is more than one!" Meng Yan Road.

"My lord, you don't understand what you said?" Lu Yan asked.

"If you don't understand, don't ask so much, just listen to the adults!" Tang smiled and reprimanded, and Lu Yan and the others scratched their heads in embarrassment.

"Okay, when it's time for you to understand, you will understand!" Meng Yan said, "Tang Xiao, Zhang Chong, you two teams pay attention to the division of labor and cooperation, I will ask Zhang San'er to cooperate with you to do things, pay attention to rest, don't exhaust yourself." ”

"No, my lord!" (To be continued......)
