Chapter 7: The Great Thief
Three days later.
Spring breeze full moon building.
"The crown prince of Goryeo, General Park, and the seventh prince, three people died in a row, and the case has no clue so far, and now the Eight Sages King is also here, if the case can't be solved again, the Great Song Dynasty and Goryeo are afraid that they will meet each other." Shen Liang sighed.
"If you want me to say, we still have to start with the assassins who assassinated the prince, as long as we catch these assassins, this case will be solved." Gongsun Ce peeled off a peanut and threw it into his mouth, and said firmly.
"Bao Zheng, what do you think?" Shen Liang asked Bao Zheng, who had been in a daze.
Bao Zheng came back to his senses, "I always feel that these three people died a little strangely, not like they were done by one person, but like they died at the hands of three people." ”
Isn't it just three of them?
The crown prince was killed by Shen Liang.
General Park was killed by the Seventh Prince.
I killed the Seven Princes.
Li Yang sat next to Bao Zheng, holding a cup of hot tea and taking a sip from time to time.
"Brother Li, how many inches are your shoes?" Bao Zheng asked suddenly.
"Eight inches." Li Yang replied.
"What kind of weapon?" Bao Zheng asked again.
Li Yang looked at Bao Zheng and replied seriously: "Sword." ”
Bao Zheng was stunned, he thought that Li Yang would avoid this question, or lie about the sword, after all, General Park and the Seventh Prince both died from the sword.
"Brother Bao, what do you mean by this?" Xiao Ai exclaimed angrily.
"Okay Xiao Ai, this morning, each of our shoes was taken by Bao Zheng to compare the footprints at the murder scene, your brother Li is just being asked a few words now, which is enough to save face." Shen Liang said helplessly.
"Just ask." Bao Zheng said a little.
Li Yang didn't care at all, and spoke for Bao Zheng, "It's just a normal investigation, Xiao Ai, don't take it to heart." ”
"Oh." Xiao Ai was still a little angry in her heart, but she still lowered her head obediently.
"Knock Knock"
Hurried footsteps suddenly sounded at the mouth of the stairs, and two tall men with serious expressions rushed up to the second floor, glanced at the second floor, and finally went straight to Bao Zheng's table.
Their target is Li Yang.
"Excuse me, but Mr. Li?" The two asked in unison.
"Who are you?" Li Yang glanced at them and asked rhetorically.
"We'll find out who we are when you come with us." The tone of the two of them, the posture of standing, if they are paired with a knife and official uniforms, they are even more like officials than Shen Liang, the head of the knife.
Li Yang couldn't help but look at Shen Liang.
Shen Liang shook his head silently, indicating that he didn't know these two people.
Gongsun Ce knew, bowed his head and said: "Don't resist, it's the Eighth Prince's person, I saw it yesterday when I greeted the Eighth Prince's Lord with my father." ”
The two did not blame Gongsun Ce for revealing their identities, their eyes were still on Li Yang, they turned sideways, and said in unison to Li Yang: "Please." ”
"Brother Li." Xiao Ai grabbed Li Yang worriedly.
"It's fine." Li Yang patted Xiao Ai's hand, got up, and walked behind the two.
Get out of the restaurant.
A blue tweed sedan chair and four sedan chair drivers have already been prepared at the door of the restaurant.
"It's rare, and I got a sedan chair." Li Yang nodded, and before the two of them invited him to get into the sedan chair, he had already sat in first.
You're welcome!
The two looked at each other in a daze.
"Can't afford the sedan car?" Li Yang's urging voice came from inside the sedan chair.
Only then did the two come back to their senses.
"Get up."
The four palanquin bearers lifted the sedan chair and swaggered through the street, and when they arrived at the gate of the mansion, they did not stop, but carried it straight into the mansion.
I walked through the front door, the front yard, the living room, etc., and went to the depths of the house.
"Get off the sedan chair."
Hearing the sound outside, Li Yang took the initiative to lift the sedan curtain and found that he was now in a hall, and in front of him sat a man with a good appearance and a crown of beads.
Obviously, this is the Eight Sage Kings.
Li Yang walked out of the sedan chair, and before he could salute, dozens of soldiers suddenly poured out around him, and dozens of bright knives surrounded him.
"What do you mean by this, Eighth Prince?" Li Yang looked past the heavy soldiers and looked at the Eight Sages King at the back.
The Eight Sages King had a confident smile on his face, as well as a hint of surprise, "I didn't expect you to really dare to come, should this king say that you are a master of art and bold, or are you getting carried away?" ”
"The grass people don't understand." Li Yang really doesn't understand.
"Okay, this king will let you die to understand." The Eight Sages waved his hand.
A personal guard walked out beside him, holding a white scroll, and walked up to Li Yang, the white scroll opened, and it turned out to be a wanted portrait.
The person in the portrait is Li Yang.
The Eight Sages said: "Six years ago, he committed several crimes in the capital, so that the entire capital was helpless, it is said that the thieves who have escaped from the Song Realm and fled into Goryeo, who would have thought that they would live in Luzhou City so swaggeringly?" ”
Li Yang touched his nose - it turns out that I am not only an assassin, but also a thief.
"If it weren't for the killing of the Goryeo mission, this king would have personally come to investigate the case, and I would never have imagined that you, a thief, would actually be in Luzhou City."
The Eight Sages King looked at Li Yang's eyes as if he was looking at a madman, "Are you really stupid?" Or bold? Do you really think that the officials of the Great Song Dynasty are blind? Or do you naively think that if you come back after six years, no one will recognize you? ”
You have to ask the system for nothing.
Li Yang's brain has always turned fast, and he even summed up the past background of his body.
He first committed a crime in the capital, then escaped from the Song Dynasty and entered the territory of Goryeo, where he took refuge with the Seven Princes and became an assassin.
"This king is not interested in your madness, he just wants to ask you one thing." The Eight Sages King Road.
"Excuse me." Li Yang said.
The Eight Sages Dynasty guards nodded.
The guard pulled out something.
Clearance documents.
It's a customs clearance document again!
Looking at the familiar customs clearance document, Li Yang couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
The guard booth opened the Guan Wen and turned the content towards Li Yang, and the Eight Sages King pointed to the content on it, "This includes the capital and Luzhou, there are a total of nine seals, this king has checked, and they are all true." ”
Li Yang nodded, "Since it's true, what's the problem?" ”
"It's a big problem."
The Eight Sages raised his voice, "This means that all the places you pass along the way have been accepted and approved by the local government, and it stands to reason that this is not wrong."
Since the capital has been released, if there is no accident, as long as you arrive at the place, hand over the customs clearance documents to the local government, and the official in charge of acceptance will let you go, in fact, this is impossible.
This is officialdom!
Dealing with officials is the most time-consuming, and some local officials will deliberately make things difficult, exploit, and delay...... Ordinary people, even people with some strength backgrounds are still difficult to deal with, you are a thief, the information on the customs clearance documents, except for the name of the person, is all fake, and you can actually get the approval of the capital to release, and after that, within three days, you will take the seal of nine places.
What means did you use to get so many officials to let you go so quickly?
Bullying? Inducements? Or have those officials been bought by you and are willing to degenerate? Recruit from the truth. ”
Recruit what?
I don't know, how to recruit? --Of course Li Yang wouldn't say that.
"Actually," he said...... There are all, mainly depending on who it is, the greedy officials, I will tempt, and the cowardly will coerce. ”
"Isn't there anyone who resists?" The Eight Sages King said angrily.
This anger was not directed at Li Yang, but at the officials of the Great Song Dynasty.
Li Yang had already substituted himself as an assassin and a thief, and said, "Of course no one resists? Didn't you just say that my customs clearance document has been released in the capital, and if there is no accident, the places along the way will also be released, so the upright officials will naturally not make it difficult for me, and the officials who make it difficult for me are greedy officials. ”
"Which officials have taken bribes?" The Eight Sages asked.
"Well...... But there are too many, and I can't say it clearly. "Actually, Li Yang can't even say the name of a person, if he really wants to say it, he can only talk about Gongsun Zhen.
"Take it down, and hand it over to Kaifeng Mansion Yin after returning to Beijing." The Eight Sages waved his hand in frustration, as if he had lost confidence in the officials of the Great Song Dynasty.
"Let's go."
One guard was in the lead, two soldiers were on Li Yang's neck, and two soldiers were specially responsible for escorting, with bright knives in their hands, guarding against Li Yang.
For the sake of the face of these four knives, Li Yang did not resist.
