Chapter 608: The Dead
Xie Mulin recalled that the proprietress of the pastry shop once said that Du's mother complained to the guards sent by the Fang family to protect Cao Shuqing's entry into Beijing, saying that Fang Wenshan's people were unreliable, not only failed to solve Xie Pu, but also showed their feet, and they didn't know if it would cause trouble.
The so-called exposed horse's feet mean ...... Among the four people sent by Fang Wenshan to attack Xie Pu, a dead man and a living mouth were left in the hands of the Yan Wangfu?
If the dead are recognized, they may reveal the Lord's envoy Fang Wenshan; Not to mention the living mouth, as long as you confess the people behind the scenes, Fang Wenshan will not think that he can escape responsibility!
But...... Fang Wenshan can still calmly write to Cao Shuqing, asking him to take away his daughter Xie Yinghui and threaten Xie Pu as a hostage, proving that he is still sure that the dead man will not expose him, and he will not confess alive, right? The reason why I want to take Xie Yinghui away is probably just in case. Besides, even if the fact that he sent someone to attack Xie Pu would not be exposed, he would need to have the means to threaten Xie Pu and lend a helping hand in his friend's case. Who the hell did he send? Where did he come from the faith, and those would never betray him?
Xie Mulin continued to read the letter, and found that Xiao Rui's henchman also heard the speculation of the people in the Yanwang Mansion about the identities of the two attackers, one dead and one alive, saying that they had a rather obvious military aura on their bodies, and their skills were also very extraordinary, not like they were hooligans and ruffians, but they were probably from elite soldiers in the army.
But at the same time, Yan Wangfu felt that these two people did not look like soldiers on duty, because the one who died was stabbed to death in the back by his accomplices on the premise that he was seriously injured and could not be evacuated, which was considered to be a killing. Usually people in the military attach great importance to their comrades, and they can't do this kind of thing to kill their comrades until they are in a desperate situation, let alone stab them in the back. The guards in King Yan's mansion are all from the military, and they are very sure of this kind of thing.
As for the one who was alive, it happened to be the one who started to kill the mouth, he was also injured a lot, and he had already fled the scene, but he was unlucky and met the master of the Beiping City Guards at another exit of the alley. The master was originally waiting near the lantern festival venue, so as to ensure that Yan Wang's father and daughter could have a good time at the lantern festival and would not encounter anything bad. Hearing that there was movement here, he saw that Yan Wang's men had sent a rescue signal, and knew that something was wrong, so he rushed over to help. When he saw that the fleeing attacker was dressed in black, and did not look like a good person, he stepped forward to stop him and successfully knocked him unconscious. Afterwards, he found poison on the other party, and he was glad to the people of Yanwangfu, saying that if he hadn't knocked the person unconscious directly, but just captured the person, God knows if that person would have committed suicide in fear of sin? Then all the clues are broken.
But even if this living mouth did not commit suicide in fear of crime, it is difficult to say that he can rely on him to find out the truth about Xie Pu's attack. Since the man woke up, he kept silent, and no matter how much he was interrogated, he would not say a word. Even if the punishment was greater, he only wailed, but his mouth was tightly closed. This made the people of Yanwangfu puzzled.
Such a master, who can still be unwavering under the punishment, is really a talent! Isn't it good for such people to deal with enemy forces? Even if he goes to the enemy country in the north to be a spy, he is still contributing to the country, what kind of dead soldier is he running to do? What a waste! Who wastes talent so much? Damnation! And dispatching such talents was just to attack a third-grade civil official of the Beiping Political Envoy Division, and he also chose such an inappropriate location for the attack, so what was the main envoy thinking in his heart?!
Xie Pu is not involved in military affairs, and the only thing that can be related to the army is that he once expressed his opinion on the case of being served in the army. But what he said was just common sense, saying that the impact of such a case in the army was very bad, and it was necessary to deal with it severely, so as to deter the small and make those who come after him dare not repeat the mistakes of the past. The officials of Peiping Prefecture have no military attitude, and they all have this attitude in public, ensuring political correctness. Even if Xie Pu said so in His Royal Highness King Yan, he was not the only one who did this! If it is for this reason that the messenger of the Lord attacked him, then why not go to someone else?
At present, the people of Yanwangfu can't find out the truth, so they can only continue to interrogate the living mouth, and at the same time check the body of the dead person to see if there are any clues on him, and ask someone to draw the appearance of the two, and go around to ask if anyone has seen it, so as to find out their whereabouts.
However, the people in the Yan Wangfu generally believed that this should have happened because of the acceptance of the case, and it was the high-level generals who were involved in the embezzlement of military funds and silver money that feared that the Yan King would find out about them, so they sent their henchmen to assassinate the officials under the Yan Wang, which was both a warning and a demonstration. Xie Pu just happened to be the first unlucky person, because he was a civil official, weak and powerless to guard him, so it was easier to start. But then, other civil officials who have made similar remarks to Xie Pu may be in danger.
For a time, the big and small officials in Beiping City became extremely vigilant, trying to only go back and forth between their own houses and the official offices, rarely going to certain entertainment venues, even drinking and feasting, and taking many guards in and out. There are no reliable guards for those with lower official ranks, and there are still people who hire the ruffians in the city, and there are many fewer street gangsters. Several city gates were also more heavily guarded, and the number of officers and soldiers guarding and patrolling the gates was increased in various official offices. As soon as a new face appeared near the official office, someone would immediately come forward to inquire about it.
At the same time, those military generals who went to Beiping City from other places and the guards around them became the objects of suspicion of the government. Because the four attackers all had a military atmosphere, but the two people who were arrested were all fresh faces, the government felt that they either came into the city during the Lantern Festival to take advantage of the cancellation of the curfew, or they were originally the entourage of military generals from other places, and the military generals who were familiar with the military personnel involved in the case were the most suspicious.
Xiao Ruiren was halfway through, and it wasn't the first-hand news that he could get his hands on, so he couldn't say who was suspicious. He himself was quite convinced of the inference of Yanwangfu, thinking that Xie Pu was just suffering from the disaster of the pond fish, and after this catastrophe, he lived even more simply. If the main envoy still wanted to attack the officials again, he would not find Xie Pu and persuade Xie Mulin to rest assured.
However, how could Xie Mulin be at ease? She not only learned the news of her father's attack from Beiping, but also learned the truth from the attacker's side first, and understood that although this matter was related to the convicted case, the main target's target was only Xie Pu, and it had nothing to do with others.
Xie Pu was lucky to escape this time, but Fang Wenshan clearly didn't plan to stop yet! He was clearly going to save his friend. That friend was imprisoned for being convicted, which was already a threat to him, and now he has a henchman who has fallen into the hands of Yan Wangfu, once he confesses to him, he will only be more unlucky. God knows what else he can do to protect himself?!
The dog jumps off the wall in a hurry, and it is necessary to guard against it!
