Chapter 1022: Suspicion of Li Yan
This is red willow. Chu Xintian said: "Red willow is a shrub. This plant is highly drought and drought tolerant, usually grows in desert areas, and is resistant to wind and sand. However, I have not seen the red willow forest in Jinzhou City. However, just below the horseshoe of the yamen, there are many red willow leaves......"
"Zhao Wu, is this Li Yan very strange? Even if you, the young marshal of Zhao Wangfu, appear, he will not give face. He was still perfunctory to Lu Weichuan. If he did, he would be arrogant, unless someone was at court. But Mr. Lu said Mr. Li did not seem to have any relatives or friends in the capital, and no one supported him. He even has such an attitude, which shows that the person has an absolute problem. ”
Of course, Zhao Wu also saw this point raised by Chu Xintian.
"You mean Li Yan colluded with the bandits?"
Zhao Wu had no doubts about this. He just thinks that no matter how excessive Li Yan is, he is a court official after all. He is the parent official of Jinzhou Prefecture. These people can embezzle and break the law for personal gain. But would a court official really collude with bandits to harm the people?
"People's hearts are dangerous. Some people can sacrifice everything for money and power. What does it matter if the parents kill a few people?" Chu Xintian said coldly.
"Tian'er, what does this have to do with the red willow?" Zhao Wu didn't understand for a while.
"Although the red willow is a shrub, the red willow forest near the oasis will be very lush. The most suitable forest is hidden. I suspect that Li Yan's attack on Lu Weichuan's caravan is either a bandit or a wolf attacking us, and Li Yan is in collusion with them! There is no red willow forest in Jinzhou Prefecture, so the horseshoe of the yamen is covered with red willow leaves, which is somewhat strange. I also noticed that Li Yan looked haggard and didn't seem to have slept all night. Does he know that we arrived in Jinzhou yesterday, rode all night, went to the werewolf's hideout, and reported the news? Of course, this is just my guess. ”
"Therefore, Lu Ren's previous investigation was wrong. He only surveyed the villages inhabited by the Liao. He thought the rogue would be hiding there. But in fact, this matter has nothing to do with the rogue. The wolf did it!" Zhao Wu was stunned.
If things really go as they guess, it's too complicated.
However, we can also deduce that Li Yan and the wolves are in a group. This coincides with Lu Ren's previous research.
In front of Lu Ren, he suspected that there were people in Jinzhou City cooperating with the robbers outside.
If this person is Li Yan, he is Jinzhou Mansion Yin. He was capable enough to know what was going on in Jinzhou.
Whose store has bought the goods, and who wants to leave Jinzhou? It's all under his control. As long as he sends the message outside the city, the caravan carrying valuables will naturally become a meal for the robbers.
As for why Li Yan, an official of the government, did this, it should not be difficult to guess. This Jinzhou city is a place without oil and water, and there shouldn't be too many benefits to get. Obviously, Li Yan did this for money.
"Go back to the General Army's Mansion quickly. Let Lu Ren send his soldiers to take a look around, where there is a lush mangrove forest!" Chu Xintian was very excited.
She felt that her reasoning should not be wrong.
If it was Li Yan who colluded with the wolves, then Lu Weichuan and the other hostages must be monitored by the wolves and cannot be placed in Li Yan's yamen.
If they find the wolves' lair, they might be able to find Lu Weichuan.
Although time has passed so long, Lu Weichuan may no longer be safe, but what if he is still alive?
They came to Jinzhou to save Lu Weichuan's life.
Things have been puzzling before, and now, at last, there is a little eyebrow, and they should hurry up and not delay for a minute!
Thinking of the Lu family and Lu Weishui and others in the capital, they were still eagerly looking forward to Lu Weichuan going back alive. Chu Xintian thought that since they had already come here, they could only do their best to rescue Lu Weichuan. Even if Lu Weichuan is not alive, they will bring his body back.
