Chapter 219: Chrysanthemum Banquet One
Duan Renyi went to Xuancheng a month ago, because a strange incident happened in Xuancheng, which later turned into a criminal case.
There are a lot of thirty or forty men missing near Xuancheng, and more than a month ago, on the side of the main road from Xuancheng to the capital, the bodies of several men were found, all of which were fatal by swords.
Later, it was determined by Xuancheng that the dead were some of the missing men.
Xuancheng checked by himself for more than half a month, but he couldn't do it after he had no clue, so he had to ask the Jingzhong Criminal Department for help, and pointed out Duan Renyi in the middle of the night.
"Master, all the missing are veterans." As soon as Duan Renyi spoke, he shocked everyone, including Midnight.
Duan Renyi didn't look in a good state, he was dusty, not only was he thin, but his face was sickly pale.
"You're hurt?" Midnight smelled the faint smell of blood.
"A little bit of a wound." The hand unconsciously covered the side of his waist.
He was not happy with the injury, not only because he was aggrieved by the injury, but also because he almost hurt the man's roots, where are the kidneys, how important are they to men? It's almost a loss.
Midnight glanced at it, and his divine sense probed over, the sword wound had already scabbed, and he could take care of the matter first: "You go on." ”
"Yes.
According to the investigation of his subordinates, a year ago, there was a mysterious group of people recruiting people near Xuancheng, looking for veterans who were not physically disabled.
The Nineteenth Master also knows that soldiers who have retired from the army and are not physically disabled are not difficult to find jobs after retiring, and those who have some silver are willing to invite such people.
So the recruitment of this mysterious person did not go well, and then the recruitment disappeared.
But since they stopped recruiting, the provinces near Xuancheng began to lose family guards, and these family guards were all retired and had some skills.
A month ago, there was a foul smell on the official road leading to the capital, and people passing by only smelled the smell and didn't think about anything else.
There was a cargo man who couldn't help it, and then he found that there were more than a dozen corpses along the river by the official road.
I went there to see it, because there was a tree that was broken, and it happened to be in the middle of the river, and the body should have been stopped by the tree. ”
Yan Haoze: "So, the body was not thrown there, but floated down from the top?" ”
"I guess it was, if it weren't for the tree that happened to be in the way, I don't know where the corpse would have gone." If the body hadn't been found, the case would not have alarmed the Criminal Department at all.
The disappearance of the family and the guards will become a topic of conversation, but it will basically not alarm the government.
It's heartless, but it's true.
This is such an injustice in this world, some people's lives are worth thousands of dollars, but some people...
Wei Ziru: "Have you found out where those mysterious people are coming from and where are they going?" ”
Duan Renyi shook his head without hope, and he also blamed himself: "The one who showed up was an old man, and he only posted a few notices saying that he asked the guards to send a batch of goods, and he lived in the inn for more than half a month, and he left the room after no one came, and no one knew where he went." ”
"And how did you get hurt?" This time it was midnight to ask.
Speaking of injury, Duan Renyi looked suspicious: "Nineteenth Master, my subordinates suspect that someone in Xuancheng is staring at this matter.
Later, on the way back to Beijing, they encountered a team that gave birth halfway, and they stopped their subordinates to ask for help, and the subordinates were in a hurry to return to Beijing, and the subordinates and others were all men, and the matter of giving birth was not something that subordinates and others could help.
So the subordinates told them about the difficulties, and they prepared to leave.
But those people were obviously there to stop their subordinates and others, and they used force without saying a word, dressed like farmers, but when they moved, they were all good.
Later, when they found out that they were not defeated by us, they fled very preparedly, scattering in all directions, and in a blink of an eye, they either fled into the river or into the forest, so that their subordinates and others could not chase them. ”
There was silence in the middle of the night, this thing is really strange, it seems to be coming for the disappearance and murder of veterans, and I can't be sure that it is for this.
Yan Haoze hooked Duan Renyi's shoulder ruffianly, and deliberately poked his fingers to poke the position he had pressed with his hand just now: "I said, did you offend someone?" ”
Duan Renyi slapped his hand away and gave him a blank look: "Our criminal department, which one hasn't offended anyone?" ”
Sister, don't you know if it's painful?
What he said is true, in the Criminal Department, people like them are already officials, and there is really no one who has not offended anyone.
It's not completely impossible to be retaliated against or something, it's just that in the past few years, with the regent, and later with the nineteenth master, no one dares to blatantly attack them.
Midnight always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't think of anything wrong now, as if there was a fog that surrounded him, and he couldn't see and touch the target clearly when the target was ahead.
&
Two days passed in a flash.
October in the capital has entered the winter, although the wind has not reached the point of cold, but what is ready to be prepared, especially in the morning and evening, the air blowing out is a little white smoke.
Dressed in light purple civilian clothes, he went to the Great Sima Mansion with King Ping at midnight.
As for King Yi, I don't know where to go, King Ping only saw King Yi after returning to Beijing, as far as midnight knows, King Ping went to the casino to bring back the red-eyed King Yi.
As a result, the next day, even King Ping couldn't find anyone, and then there was no follow-up.
Neither of them rode in a carriage, but chose to ride a horse.
As soon as I arrived at the gate of Da Sima's Mansion, I happened to meet the prince and others who had just gotten off the carriage.
"I've seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." The two dismounted and greeted each other.
Yes, say hello, not say hello.
"Second brother, nineteenth brother." The prince still had that near-perfect smile.
The King of Xiang and the Night King behind the prince also had a good attitude and greeted King Ping at night: "I have seen King Ping, I have seen King Xian." ”
The whole scene is called a harmony, brother and brother.
"I haven't congratulated the second brother yet, this time the second brother has made a great contribution to our Yanxi, and I can ask the palace to sprinkle another day."
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince laughed, it was his father who was wise and powerful, this king just ran his legs, His Royal Highness the Prince's praise, this king doesn't have that face."
"Second brother is humble, let's go, let's go in together."
"Your Highness, please first."
"Look at you, that's how polite it is, let's be together."
Looking at the words and swords in front of him, Midnight silently rolled his eyes in his heart.
This is the most important reason why he is reluctant to interact with these people more, he doesn't dare to say anything directly, he doesn't dare to let go of farts, is he tired?
Look how crisp he is.
"Brother Nineteen has been doing well lately, I see that you have been very busy recently, and the fourth brother is worried that he will not see you today."
"I didn't want to come, but Da Sima didn't dare not give face." He's a good boy and always tells the truth.
I can't talk about it this day, where did I get the second stunned?
