Chapter 262: A Windfall
The atmosphere was instantaneous.
Fu Rong got up and walked in front of Guan Su: "How is Tang Jian?" β
Guan Su bowed and saluted: "Because I was prepared, although I was injured, I was not injured, but I was stimulated and very excited." β
Ling Yuan stood up: "I've finished eating, let's disperse first?" β
Everyone has no opinion, Feng Shaoyin is not like them, he has nothing to do with Yang Su, and he said that he would go to his mother-in-law's house to pick up his wife, so he withdrew first.
Because Changying wanted to rest early, she went on the same road with Feng Shaoyin.
Fu Rong naturally had to go with him to take a look, Ling Yuan accompanied him, and the group got up and went downstairs. The street was divided, and Yang Su and the others went straight to the Yamen of the Five Cities.
The lights have been lit in the yamen, the prison is located on the west side, and there are already many people here.
There was a cry of horror in the courtyard, and there was no need to think about it, it was Tang Jian, who had just been frightened.
Immediately, the deputy commander in charge of the guard came over to report: "There are only two people who came, one acted, and the other looked at the wind, and they saw that their skills were good, and they used swords, and they came straight to Tang Gongzi." After the incident, they withdrew quickly, and they did not drag mud and water. β
While speaking, everyone stopped in front of Tang Jian, Tang Jian was sitting on the ground, his back against the wall, his face was colorless, and the doctor was treating the wounds on his body.
Yang Su looked at his injury, the injury was on the shoulder, and he made a long cut, guessing that it should have been discovered when he first started, so he lost his hand, but the wound was not deep.
"The loss is in prison, if you are released and returned home, this life will be gone today." Zhou Liang's words were full of happiness.
Yang Su thought for a while and said to him, "Bring him to the room." β
The official boiled the water and made tea, and Tang Jian had been brought in.
Yang Su also set up a seat for him, waited for his mood to stabilize a bit, and then took out a few pieces of paper and gave it to him: "This is the account record of Tang Gongzi's two shops, as well as the receipt issued by Mrs. Zun." I want to know, where did Tang Gongzi get the twenty taels of silver that Xue Niang chewed from? β
Tang Jian's back straightened, and the emotions that had just experienced the stimulation obviously fluctuated again: "Yes, yes......"
opened his mouth, but the words were always incomplete, making people not know what he wanted to do.
"Tang Gongzi had better say it directly, you should also see the danger, if you hide it, maybe there will be some disasters waiting for you." Xie Peng propped up the handrail and said, "Or, do you know who is going to kill you?" β
Fu Rong also looked at it.
Tang Jian's Adam's apple rolled, and his eyes were messy and unfocused.
Then he raised his head, and said quickly with a quick breath: "I don't know who wants to kill me, but I went to Tongzhou a few months ago and encountered something!" β
"Tongzhou?" Yang Su narrowed his eyes.
"Yes. Tongzhou. Tang Jian said, "To be precise, it is actually the junction of Tongzhou and Jingshi!"
"The Tang family has a Zhuangzi in Changshan Town, and I went to Zhuangzi with a few classmates to enjoy the flowers and eat wine.
"After going up the mountain, we found a broken temple to rest, and when I entered the back of the temple, I accidentally found a hole in the corner of the backyard wall with clothesββ"
"Slow," Yang Su interrupted him when he heard this, "You just said Liu'ertun?" β
Tang Jian raised his head and said, "It's Liuertun." The village is not far from the post road, and most of our children who grew up in Beijing are in the suburbs of Beijing and Tongzhou.
"What's more, that place is quite close to my Tang family Zhuangzi, I remember it clearly!"
Yang Su quickly exchanged glances with Ling Yuan: "Since you are familiar with the terrain of Yanjing, do you know how many Liuertun are nearby?" β
"Two!" Tang Jian took a sip of hot tea, his mind was also settled, and he replied: "This one of mine is in the south, and the other is in the northern suburbs. β
Yang Su glanced at Ling Yuan again, and Ling Yuan also frowned.
"What did you find in the cave?" Ling Yuan asked.
"There are a lot of silver ingots in that cave, and two swords in them!"
"How many silver ingots? Can there be lettering? β
"Five taels of silver, divided into several burdens, as many as a thousand taels, with inscriptions, is a batch of silver allocated to Shaanxi by the imperial court four years ago." Tang Jian's voice became hurried again when he said this. "I found someone to turn the money from the black market."
Yang Su turned his head: "After dawn, I will go to the household department to check the amount and whereabouts of Luyin transferred to Shaanxi in the eighteenth year of Qingxi." β
Tong Qi responded.
Yang Su looked at Tang Jian again: "What about the two swords?" β
Tang Jian swallowed his saliva: "As for the sword, it looks like an ordinary long sword, nothing special, and it is not a person who practices martial arts, so I can't tell it."
"Where's the sword?"
ββ¦β¦ If no one has been there since, it should have remained in the same cave. β
Yang Su paused: "Then you moved the silver out on the spot?" β
"No," Tang Jian said, "Originally, I was not a greedy person for money, and I didn't touch those silver taels at that time, but the silver was hidden here, and there was a murder weapon on the side, I guessed that the bandits were stored here, and I didn't dare to move it." β
"Then isn't the money you raised for Xue Niang from this money?" Yang Su asked.
Tang Jian sighed and said, "No, at first, I wasn't very infatuated with Fengyue, so I still had some money left on hand.
"By the end of this summer, I was obviously cramped, I couldn't do without her, and I couldn't take out the money to support her, and I thought about this again after all kinds of thoughts to no avail.
"About two or three months ago, I went back to try my luck, but I didn't expect the silver to be there, and there was no trace of outsiders moving, so I took it out at night."
At this point he lowered his head and lowered his voice.
But soon he looked up again: "But nothing has happened since I took the money and came back." β
"You don't suspect the death of Xue Niang?" Yang Su asked.
"Isn't it Chen Xiong who killed her?!" Tang Jian asked rhetorically, and the fists on his knees were also clenched.
The corners of Yang Su's lips moved slightly, and then said: "Since you have a windfall, then presumably Xue Niang's makeup satin must have been bought by you?" β
"No!" Tang Jian shook his head, "It's not me!" Even if I spoil her, how dare I be so extravagant?
"She was only a poor woman, and twenty taels of silver were given to her every month, and she did not have to leave the house, which was enough. I don't know who bought that makeup satin! β
Yang Su frowned for a while and looked at Fu Rong.
Fu Rong's face was always gloomy, and he was obviously speechless about it.
Yang Su asked Tang Jian to take him back first, and then looked at Fu Rong: "The makeup satin was not bought by Tang Jian, that is, it is certain that there is a third person behind Xue Niang." But Tang Jian never suspected that Xue Niang was killed by a third person, nor did he suspect Xue Niang, which means that this person did a very clean job with his hands and feet.
"A person with such clean hands and feet, but he just set his sights on Tang Gongzi, and also borrowed a knife to kill Xue Niang's mouth, provoking disputes between the Chen and Tang families, if this person is not the owner of this windfall, it is really impossible to think of other identities."
