That face? Qin Shu fell silent.

"Of course I remember that face." After a long moment, he spoke again.

He was not a murderer, he did not kill like hemp, and he did not have the blood of innocent people on his hands. But it is not easy to remember the face of everyone who died at their own hands.

But for that face, don't say that it has been five years, even if it is another five years, he will not forget it.

"You found him?" After a pause, he looked at the girl in front of him again and asked.

The girl said, "Maybe Lord Qian has already found him." ”

Qin Shu raised his head suddenly, and the two of them were walking around in the prison on Shanxi Road, and the iron chains that locked his hands made a crisp sound as they walked.

The girl said in a low voice: "As the governor of the first government, Lord Qian is not unable to pardon some minor offenders in the prison, and use money or other things to pay for the prison that has not yet been completed." It's just that he has the right to do this, and without a good reason, Mr. Qian can't do so. ”

Generally speaking, the power of pardon of the governor is rarely exercised, and even if it is carried out, it must be carried out by the imperial court.

Ordinary pardons are generally granted by the Son of Heaven or the Queen Mother, and few Fu Yin can make decisions on his behalf.

This is just like a general who has been subject to a foreign military order, although it is possible, but it is not easy to really do it, and His Majesty must also know about it.

"I think, no matter how much Lord Qian can't do without orders, he suddenly clears out all the prisoners who can be cleared out of the prison, and Lord Qian must make a move." Qiao Ran said, "We need to vacate the prison to deal with what may happen next." ”

Qin Shu followed behind her and whispered, "Master Qiao means that Lord Qian wants to suppress bandits again?" ”

"There's a good possibility." Qiao Ran said, "However, just as General Qin said, what kind of plan Lord Qian is and how he is going to do it at the moment, none of us knows." ”

Qin Shu was silent.

"Also, Lord Qian suddenly decided to do something, and he must have found some crucial evidence." The girl stepped over the corner in front of her, looked at the deep and secluded cell on this side, and said, "So, I would like to ask General Qin to identify these people to confirm my suspicion." ”

Qin Shu stopped and looked at her: "Master Qiao, why do you say that Lord Qian was able to make a move only after finding the only son of the previous bandit leader?" ”

In all fairness, the clues and news that this Lord Qiao from Dali Temple knew were far inferior to them, and it was hard to hear, and she probably didn't know as much as they did.

Since everyone knew about it, how did she come up with these things?

"This kind of thing is not something that can be done overnight, one wave of bandits has just died, and another wave has become a climate, I don't know where the bandits came from after this, but if the previous bandits didn't notice the idea that someone was fighting this Shanxi road bandits, I don't believe it." Even if the two waves of bandits have never been in contact, the first wave will certainly not be serious and unaware of it.

"I don't know much, and I don't know how to look into a lot of things." The girl's voice was soft, as if she was a little helpless, "I can only find people who may know about this and let them tell me the truth." ”

"In addition, people like Lord Qian, who have to control everything, have been haunted five years ago, but they have not been resolved, and then they have been even wanted, which is obviously unreasonable." Qiao Ran said, "So, I think either the fish that slipped through the net is dead, but judging from Lord Qian's previous behavior of showing the head of the bandit leader, if he really solved the fish that slipped through the net, then this person should also be used to show the public or announce the people." But he didn't, in this case, the most likely thing is that he has already controlled the fish that slipped through the net. ”

Qin Shu said: "Although I don't come to this prison often, I have to bring people whenever I arrest them, so I have come many times, if that face was in prison at that time, I should be able to see it." ”

Qiao Ran said, "What about after pardoning many prisoners?" Qin Jiangwei has he still been here? ”

Qin Shu paused for a moment and shook his head: "Don't arrest people at that time, so I didn't have it." ”

There are some things that she doesn't mention, maybe she hasn't noticed anything yet, or it's just a little weird, and it's quickly skipped, but at this time, the girl in front of her mentioned it, and he had a little doubt in his heart.

"It's useless for you and me to talk so much here." Qiao Ran stretched out her hand as she spoke, made a gesture of please, and said, "Yes or not, we can see at a glance." ”

"Wait!" The sound of hurried footsteps was followed by an urgent sound of self-stopping.

Qiao Ran and Qin Shu turned their heads to look at Zhou Shilin, who had arrived with the two officials themselves.

"The Grand Overseer." The girl nodded at him and said.

Zhou Shilin, who looked calm and calm, only felt a blockage in his chest.

He hurried over, and she was fine, with this calm look.

Zhou Shilin, who strode over, stretched out his hand and trembled at Qin Shu, and when he saw Qin Shu walking behind Qiao Ran, he suddenly felt speechless.

The difference between the two people's body shape is so obvious, no matter how to hide, where can they hide? Is it appropriate for a big man to hide behind a woman?

"You...... Never mind. "For Qin Shu, he really doesn't know where to start.

She did tell him early in the morning about the whimsical idea of asking Qin Shu to grab the surname Qian, and he didn't deny it at the time, but he never expected it to ...... so soon And even if Qin Shu is released, what is this look of wandering around the prison with Qin Shu, looking at the appearance of wanting to release people?

"I'm going to ask General Qin to help me identify someone." To the angry Zhou Shilin, Qiao Ran explained.

Zhou Shilin took a deep breath and suddenly smiled, I don't know if he was laughing angrily, he actually hugged his arms, simply followed behind her, and said, "Okay, you identify, I'll follow." ”

Qiao Ran glanced at him with a smile and walked forward with Qin Shu.

This is the original prisoner of Shanxi Road Prison, it is said that they are all the most heinous criminals, Zhou Shilin snorted coldly, and looked at the girl leading the way in front.

said that he asked Qin Shu to identify him, but looking at Qin Shu's glances in the prison from time to time, it seemed that he didn't know which one he wanted to see.

The girl didn't say much, but walked forward with the people until she came to the penultimate cell and stopped, then reached out and touched the bunch of keys hanging from her waist, and pointed to the inscription on the stone wall of the cell, and found the key to unlock it.

Zhou Shilin's eyebrows jumped like this: Look at this lock-picking action, it's quite skillful!

The girl opened the lock, turned her head to look at Zhou Shilin, and after Zhou Shilin let out a light cough, her eyes swept over him, looked at the official behind him, and said, "This one in this prison is sick?" "City

This was not a curse, but the prisoner in the prison looked really sick, and the whole person was cowered on the stone bed, barely motionless except for the faint breathing on his chest.

His hair and beard were messy and covered most of his face, and he looked like he couldn't do it soon.

The official who was ordered was taken aback, glanced at Zhou Shilin's face, and saw that he had not stopped him, so he said: "Yes, this disease in this prison is very serious, before Lord Qian said that we should remember to give him food, if the body is too weak, also help to grab a medicine or something, don't let people die in prison." ”

Qiao Ran snorted, turned his head to Qin Shu and said, "You go and see if you recognize him." ”

Qin Shu snorted and stepped forward, the prisoner who was covered by the beard hair couldn't recognize any appearance at first glance, he stretched out his hand to push the beard hair away, and his face immediately changed with just one glance.

Qiao Ran was surprised: It seems that she expected it.

"Find a doctor and show him!" Qiao Ran sighed and said to Zhou Shilin.

Zhou Shilin said to the officials on the side: "Call the doctors in the prison who have better medical skills to come and see this person." ”

Several doctors with good skills on the left and right Shanxi Road are in prison, and they are very close, and there is no need to look for someone to invite, which shows the importance of him arresting the doctors together at that time.

It's so convenient to use local materials and use them on call!

This man was seriously injured, and even if there was no personal confirmation from the doctor, it could be seen from his condition alone.

"Earlier, Lord Qian asked us to catch gold sore medicine and skin and flesh wounds, saying that this prisoner was bitten by a wild beast on the mountain." The official said.

These words were also confirmed by the mouth of the doctor later.

"It's really a flesh wound, but it's not an ordinary flesh wound." The doctor's hand holding the pen was trembling, "the nails of the ten fingers were pulled out, the missing flesh on the legs was bitten by the tiger and wolf, the tendons were wasted, and the throat was ......"

It's obviously broad daylight, but people feel cold all over their bodies.

After the doctor retired, Zhou Shilin couldn't help but slap his thigh: "Fuck, this is a trip to the criminal department!" ”

Qiao Ran interjected: "The Criminal Department will not be lynched for no reason, what he encountered was lynching." ”

Zhou Shilin frowned: "Didn't his injury come from the surname Qian?" ”

Qiao Ran shook her head: "I have seen the prisoners in the prison, even the death row prisoners have no extra scars, and in this prison, except for the simplest torture tools such as whips and wooden frames, I have not seen any other torture tools, which shows that Lord Qian is a cheerful person and does not like to torture prisoners." Of course, the injuries on his body have nothing to do with Lord Qian. ”

Zhou Shilin said: "How can that be...... And who did you just say? Is it the fish that slipped through the net of the previous group of bandits? ”

Qiao Ran nodded, looked at Qin Shu, who was silent on the side, and said, "These were originally my guesses, but the identification of General Qin's guard officer confirmed my guesses. ”

Hearing her mention herself, Qin Shu raised his head, sighed, and asked, "Master Qiao, what is he...... What the hell is going on? "The clearest thing about this matter is naturally Lord Qian, but Lord Qian's temperament, even if people are in front of him, they may not be able to say it, let alone the person is not there, in this case, it is better to ask Lord Qiao directly about his speculation.

Qiao Ran said: "If I guess correctly, he should be familiar with the current wave of bandits in the past five years, and there is a good reason to get in, resentful of the government, after all, his father's head was hung in the city gate, and this kind of insult to his father is not shared." ”

It's not hard to have a common enemy to blend into.

This inference is also reasonable, no one questioned it, Zhou Shilin glanced at the person on the bed and said, "In this way, this person's identity was exposed, so he made it like this?" ”

Qiao Ran nodded, paused, hesitated for a moment, and said: "I don't know when this person and Lord Qian reached cooperation, whether it was before or after getting in, but the result is the same, this person provided clues for Lord Qian, and now that the East Window incident happened, he was naturally retaliated by the murderer." I think Master Qian's insistence on escaping from prison may have something to do with it. ”

Of course, these are only inferences, there is no direct evidence at the moment, and the direct evidence is this person, but this person is unconscious at the moment, and there is no way to ask.

"But why did he want to help Lord Qian?" Qin Shu frowned, "My biological father obviously died at the hands of the government......"

"Maybe it's because he found out that the government is just a knife to commit murder in this matter, and there is someone else who really holds the knife." "This is the only plausible explanation, and this explanation also confirms why new bandits have reappeared so quickly, and they are more elusive than the previous ones." ”

"These bandits are by no means comparable to ordinary bandits, what is wrong with such skills, but they want to be bandits, and they also want to seize the territory of Shanxi Road?" When the girl said this, she suddenly paused slightly, and hesitated, "Shanxi Road is a treasure of things." ”

This is Li Zhao's words with a numb face, and when she thinks of this sentence at this time, she seems to have noticed something. Don't......

"If this Shanxi Road is a treasure of nature, the people will not be so miserable." Zhou Shilin shook his head, obviously disapproving of this sentence, "It's that bandits are rampant, there have been bandits here since ancient times, the terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it couldn't be easier to occupy the mountain as the king." ”

Qiao Ran smiled, and did not continue to talk to Zhou Shilin about this matter, but turned to Qin Shu and said: "General Qin Weiguan, the bandits on Shanxi Road have been rampant for so many years, and the first three Fu Yin had an accident before Lord Qian, which shows that the original bandits are also extremely powerful. But such a powerful bandit made Master Qian pick up a leak as soon as he came. ”

"It just so happened that someone defected, and it happened to be an important person in it, and it happened to be clear about the whereabouts of the bandits, and it also happened that the bandits didn't notice it, and they were all caught in the net." Qiao Ran said, "There is such a bridge, but judging from this person's approach today, it may not be a coincidence at all." ”

Killing people with a knife was the last link in that game of chess, and since then, many of those somewhat strange details seem to be able to be matched.

Zhou Shilin couldn't help but nod his head when he heard this. In all fairness, as long as she doesn't pick the fault that is not her own, in his opinion, such doubts and inferences are obviously reasonable.

This person surnamed Qian thought that he had taken the lead, but in fact, it was just the praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches.

"Lord Qian should have noticed it later, so he joined forces with this person." Qiao Ran said and looked at the unconscious man on the bed, and said, "He is a human witness, although these inferences are explained, they still need his confirmation." ”

But almost all of the previous inconsistencies in such speculation had been explained, and she was inclined to believe that this was the truth of the matter.

"But right now, what is more important is the safety of Lord Qian," Qiao Ran turned his head to look at Qin Shu, and said with a straight face, "If everything that happened back then was calculated by the other party, then the other party's scheming methods are definitely not under Lord Qian, in this case, Lord Qian's situation is very dangerous, even if he is skilled, comparable to Zhao Yun of the Three Kingdoms, the enemy camp is seven in and seven out, and it is extremely dangerous to be alone." ”

"So, that's why Lord Joe let me out?" Looking down at the hands that had been stripped of their chains, Qin Shu got up, raised his hand solemnly and said, "Qin Shu will not disgrace his life!" ”

At this point, he had understood what Master Qiao meant, and she could deduce a lot of things from the cocoon, but about the current bandits, about those behind the scenes, it was still not something that a newcomer like her could know. So the most important thing at the moment is to find Lord Qian, who has countless secrets on him.

Once Lord Qian is recovered, many secrets can be explained.
