The destruction of the Shijiutuo dock made the people of western Liaoning panic.

It was only then that the matter of the Karasuma people was resolved, and now there is another wave of pirates, and the impact is far greater than that of the sneak attack on the Rokugu River.

Many of the displaced people who followed Liu Chuang to Liaoxi began to be suspicious.

They also don't know if the decision to follow Liu Chuang from Qingzhou to Liaoxi was correct.

Although Liu Chuang ordered Zheng Ren and Huang Zhen to appease the displaced people in Guzhu City, everyone knew that this could only appease for a while, not for a long time. If this mysterious pirate can't be eradicated, I'm afraid everyone can't really feel at ease. The people are like this, Liu Chuang is like this, and the generals and strategists under Liu Chuang's command are also like this...... The attack on Shijiutuo was undoubtedly a resounding slap in the face to many people.

Wei Yue, who was stationed in Guzhu City, Zheng Ren, who was in charge of the political affairs of Guzhu City, and many other people all felt their faces hot.

As soon as Sima Yi was at dawn, he took Zhang Chao and Li Lun from Linyu to Guzhu City.

He didn't even have time to rest in Lonely Bamboo City, so he went straight to the Shijiutuo dock.

At this time, the Shijiutuo dock was in a mess...... Although Zheng Ren had ordered the body to be cleaned up, there were still traces of blood on the ground, which stood out in the sunlight. Several houses are still billowing with smoke. In the harbor, three seagoing ships were charred and could no longer be repaired.

Sima Yi was in the dockyard and met Zheng Ren and Wei Yue.

Both of them looked angry, and there was a little shame in their words.

"How's it going?"

Zheng Ren sighed, "Heavy losses...... It would take at least twenty days for the dock to be restored to its original appearance, but these were small things, and the point was that the craftsmen were so frightened that they did not want to work. Just now, a few people asked me to resign, and they no longer dare to continue working here. ”

Sima Yi listened. frowned.

He walked to the dock and looked at the burned ship, his eyes shining.

"Big brother, I want to walk around and check on the situation."

Zheng Ren is Zheng Xuan's son, even if it is Sima Yi, he does not dare to slack off.

He confessed his guilt to Zheng Ren, and then took a group of followers and searched around the dock......

Wei Yue walked up to Zheng Ren and said, "This Sima Gongzi is very big in and out. But he is so young, can he really see the clues? ”

"General Wei said cautiously, Gongzi has always done things in a measured manner, and he must not speculate.

You see that the son employs people, and everyone makes the best use of their talents...... Zhongda is young though. But what the son who can do, there must be his reason, you and I don't have to ask. ”

Wei Yue's words revealed a strong distrust of Sima Yi.

It's no wonder that Wei Yue is like this, Zhuge Liang is younger than Sima Yi, but he is alone and is worshiped by Liu Chuang. But no one doubted. After all, Zhuge Liang followed Liu Chuang from Liu Chuang's entry into the Beihai Kingdom. He was also a student of Zheng Xuan, and he also experienced many wars with Liu Chuang. Everyone is relatively familiar with him, and they also know Zhuge Liang's ability, so there is no objection.

Ke Sima Yi ......

Perhaps in the eyes of everyone, Sima Yi, the power of the Yellow Pavilion Master Book. Far inferior to Zhuge Liang.

But everyone still has doubts about him, after all, no one knows. This Sima Yi's ability. If it weren't for Sima Yi being Liu Chuang's cousin, I'm afraid it would cause many people to be dissatisfied. Moreover, no one knew the true nature of the Yellow Pavilion, otherwise Sima Yi would be even more hated.

But this qiē is not important to Sima Yi.

After he took Zhang Cheng and Li Lun around the dock, he climbed high and looked into the distance.

It wasn't until dark that he returned to the makeshift barracks outside the dockyard and paid a visit to Zheng Ren.

"Zhongda, do you have a harvest?"

Zheng Ren warmed a pot of wine and filled Sima Yi with a glass.

Wei Yue on the side did not get up to pay attention, but sat there, squinting at Sima Yi.

Sima Yi smiled and said softly, "The harvest is not small. ”

"Oh?"

"I walked around the dockyard a few times and then looked around the perimeter again.

The geographical location of Shijiutuo is very private and difficult to find...... I also asked a few boatmen, and they told me that even if I went out on the sea, I would not be able to find out where the dockyard was if I was not careful. The construction of the Shijiutuo dock has not been completed for more than a month, and many places have not yet been completed...... In this case, it is impossible to attract pirates to attack, but ...... Big brother, don't you think it's strange? ”

Zheng Ren was stunned and nodded slightly.

And Wei Yue also sat up straight and listened to the side.

Sima Yi continued: "Last night, the pirates suddenly appeared, and they found the dock without difficulty.

According to the shipwright, Captain Xue had sent a ship at that time, but it was hit and sunk by the other party. In other words, from the very beginning, these pirates had a plan to attack the dock. And judging by its actions, it was swift, orderly, without any confusion, and the purpose was very clear.

Big brother, a dock with a hidden location and few people knowing, was attacked by pirates so planned.

If the pirates hadn't inquired about it in advance and made a good plan, it would have been impossible to carry it out...... I suspect someone is tipping off the pirates. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the Pirate Root to be so familiar with the dockyard and know the guards of the dock well. ”

Wei Yue's face became solemn.

The previous suspicions about Sima Yi also disappeared.

"Second son, you mean...... Got a spy? ”

In western Liaoning, there are two 'second sons', one Zhuge Liang and the other is Sima Yi.

However, everyone is more accustomed to calling Zhuge Liang 'Kong Ming', so the title of the second son mostly refers to Sima Yi.

Sima Yi said: "Whether there is a spy or not, I can't completely determine it yet, but I believe that if the pirates hadn't found out the situation in the dock in advance, they wouldn't have launched such a smooth attack." So, I wanted to start by looking at the craftsmen in the dockyard and the people who have been in and out since the dock was built. I don't believe that those guys can really predict the prophet and do it seamlessly? ”

Before he finished speaking, Zheng Ren had already grown up.

"Someone!"

"Whoa!"

"Immediately bring up the roster of craftsmen working in the dockyard, as well as the roster of the guards.

In addition, I want to check on the people who have come and gone since the construction of the dock...... I remember that Gongzi made such a provision at the beginning of the construction, and I believe that Captain Xue will also leave a record. ”

"Whoa!"

The officers sprang into action. After a while, a thick file was brought in.

"Big brother, you check the roster first, I want to see the records of people who have been in and out of the dock in the recent period.

By the way, please get the dockyard clerk and let them wait. If you have any questions, we can always ask them questions. ”

When Zheng Ren heard this, he praised it again and again.

He immediately sent people to follow Sima Yi's instructions. Bring in the clerks in charge of the dockyard and the various chores.

More than 20 officials lined up and stood with their hands down.

I could only hear the rustling sound of turning the pages in the big tent, and Wei Yue's eyes scanned everyone like an eagle falcon, ordering those officials. One by one, they were terrified.

"On the second day of the seventh month, who is on duty?"

Sima Yi flipped through the entry and exit records, and suddenly spoke after a while.

A clerk hurriedly stood up, sweating all over his head, bowed his body and said, "If you go back to Gongzi, it is the villain on duty." ”

"Name."

"Villain, Jeep."

Sima Yi looked up. Look at Jung In.

Zheng Ren soon found the name of the jeep on the roster, "Jeep, the word is wide, and the secret person of the Beihai Kingdom." ”

"You're a subordinate? Why did you come to Liaoxi? ”

Jeep hurriedly said: "The villain's family is poor. Thanks to Captain Xue's support, he had a family.

At the beginning, Captain Xue asked the villain if he would like to come to Liaoxi with him. The villain thinks about it, and now this qiē is all made by Xue Xiaowei. It should be followed. Besides, the villain can show off his might under Captain Xue, but if Captain Xue leaves. I'm afraid no one will look up to me.

After discussing with his wife, the villain came with Captain Xue. ”

Whether what Jeep said is true or false can be known at a glance, so it is unlikely that he will lie.

Sima Yi and Zheng Ren nodded, then looked at the jeep and said, "Let me ask you, when you were on duty on the second day of the seventh month, a batch of baggage entered the camp. I see that you wrote on the record: Old Zheng Zi and nephew delivery ...... Generally speaking, all you need is a record file, so why add such a record? ”

Jeep thought for a while, and then said, "Lao Zheng is the head of the Lonely Bamboo City Wood Shop.

The construction of the dock requires a large amount of wood, and almost all of it is purchased from Lao Zheng. Lao Zheng had always been in charge of escorting before, but there were several faces that day. I was still a little strange at the time, so I asked, and the leader said that Lao Zheng was sick that day, and he came to deliver the goods on behalf of Lao Zheng. When I was unloading, I saw a few of them wandering in the docks, so I stopped them, and they did not wander around.

But I still feel a little uneasy...... The villain didn't know why he felt this way, so he added this note. ”

Sima Yi looked at Zheng Ren.

Zheng Ren asked: "That old Zheng carpenter, but the carpentry shop at the west gate of the city?" ”

"Exactly."

Zheng Ren said: "This old Zheng wood shop is an old family in Guzhu City, and it has been opened in Guzhu City for more than ten years, and its reputation is good." However, the carpentry shop is not Lao Zheng's property, and he seems to be doing things for others...... Zhong Da didn't think that there was something wrong with this Lao Zheng? ”

Sima Yi smiled, "If there is a problem, you will know after checking." ”

Zheng Ren didn't say a word, and immediately ordered someone to go back to Guzhu City to inquire about the situation.

In order to prevent accidents, Wei Yue also dispatched 300 soldiers to accompany him.

Sima Yi looked at Jeep with appreciation, and suddenly asked, "Jeep Jiguang." ”

"The villain is here."

"I see that you are quite meticulous in doing things, although the words are straightforward, but you go straight to the core...... I ask you, would you like to come to work in my Yellow Pavilion? ”

The case work of the Huang Pavilion is extremely cumbersome and the workload is very large.

And Sima Yi doesn't have too many people available in his hands now...... In fact, the Huang Ge case does not require much skill, the key is to be meticulous. It is necessary to review all kinds of information, find the corresponding points from it, and record it. This is a job that requires patience and meticulousness. Sima Yi was also worried about this matter, but he didn't want to meet a person in the dock.

When Jeep heard this, he was stunned.

What is the Yellow Court?

He doesn't know!

Wei Yue couldn't help but scold: "You guy, the second son works for the emperor's uncle, and Huang Ge is the emperor's uncle's side, which is extremely important, but you guy has a lot of luck, don't hurry up and thank the second son." ”

When Jeep heard this, he shuddered and hurriedly bowed down to agree.

"The villain is willing to work for the emperor's uncle, but it's just ......"

"Just what?"

"The villain has been greatly favored by Captain Xue, if he can't avenge Captain Xue, even if the glory and wealth are in front of him, the villain can't enjoy it with peace of mind."

Sima Yi and the three of them glanced at each other, and their eyes couldn't help but show a touch of appreciation.

In these days, loyal and righteous people will always be valued.

I didn't expect this little official to have such a loyal heart, which really surprised Sima Yi and the others.

Sima Yi said in a deep voice: "Jeep, you don't need to talk about this matter, I will also track down the murderer."

Uncle Xue has great respect for Captain Xue, and before I came, he specially left me to advise: Captain Xue was the first old man to follow him, and he gave Uncle Xue a lot of help when Uncle Xue was not able to make a career, and Uncle Xue's kindness to Captain Xue has never been forgotten for a moment.

Therefore, Uncle Huang ordered me to ask me to go to see the murderer if I was not found.

Therefore, I will not let go of these pirates, as well as the commanders behind the pirates, and I will definitely seek justice for Captain Xue. ”

When the jeep heard this, he fell to the ground.

"If so, the villain is willing to serve the son of the dog and horse."

Sima Yi smiled and nodded, and stepped forward to help the jeep up.

About two pillars of incense passed, the two messengers hurriedly walked into the big tent and whispered a few words in Zheng Ren's ear, and Zheng Ren's face suddenly changed greatly.

"Big brother, what's wrong?"

Zheng Ren stood up, looked at Sima Yi and said, "Zhongda, I just got the news that the old Zheng family and the carpentry shop are in charge, a total of twenty-seven people, all of whom were killed, and none of them were spared. It seems that as Zhongda said, this matter is by no means a simple pirate attack, there must be spies mixed in the Lonely Bamboo City. I'll go back to the city to check, Zhong Da is interested, come with me? ”

A touch of coldness flashed in Sima Yi's eyes.

"Jeep, you go back and pack your luggage, and let your family go to Linyu to settle down first.

You come with me to the woodsmith shop...... You are familiar with Lao Zheng's family, maybe you can help me find out what flaws. ”

Jeep hurriedly agreed, and hurried away.

Zheng Ren also instructed Wei Yue to continue to clean up the dock and ensure that the dock was no longer threatened.

After daybreak, the dock will be rebuilt, after all, there is still a lot of work to be done in the dock, and there is no way to delay it any longer.

After Wei Yue received the order, Zheng Ren and Sima Yi took people and hurried back to Guzhu City.

The Lonely Bamboo City runs east-west and has two gates.

When the two came to the west gate, they saw a façade that looked quite old, surrounded by more than 100 soldiers and guards with solemn expressions.

Zheng Ren and Sima Yi walked into the house, and there was a thick bloody smell in their faces.

From the hired man's house in front of the store to the courtyard of the back house, there was blood all over the place, and several corpses were lying in pools of blood.

In the living room, there were two dead bodies lying down.

One is older and one young, identified by Jeep, it is Lao Zheng's father and son.

Sima Yi squatted down and just wanted to take a closer look, but suddenly heard a dog barking outside the house, followed by a commotion......
