Chapter 161: Traces

Mrs. Xie did not stay in the county lord's mansion, she only rested for a while and then returned to the Xie mansion with the people of the Xie family. Fastest updates

Lin Qingwan put people in the carriage and said softly, "I'll go and say goodbye to my mother tomorrow." ”

Mrs. Xie refused: "I just came back, I have a lot of things to do, and I will send someone to call you when I am ready." ”

After being attacked, the Lin family must have more things to do than her.

Lin Qingwan responded softly and asked the guards to escort her back to Xie's house.

Sun Huai and Liu Pei were talking with Zhong Ruying, and when they saw Lin Qingwan hurriedly getting up and saluting recently, Zhong Ruying also got up and said, "You have something to talk about, I'll go down and rest first." ”

The three of them watched Zhong Ruying leave, and then they began to talk about business.

Lin Qingwan also told the story of the last time the exiles besieged the other courtyard, and Zhou Tingshi did not gain nothing, but he found out and cut off the clues in the end.

The clue was broken in Zhou Tingshi, which doesn't mean that Sun Huai and they can't find out.

Lin Qingwan handed over the information found to the two of them without reservation, and the rest was left to them.

Sun Huai asked, "What does the eldest lady want to do with these corpses?" ”

"Naturally, I will leave it to you at your disposal."

Sun Huai and Liu Pei glanced at each other and promised, "Don't worry, Lord Lin, we will take care of it." ”

This incident is a good opportunity for them to make meritorious contributions, and it is common for several countries to infiltrate each other, even if the big beams are also active in other countries.

Although they knew each other well, it did not indicate that they would tolerate such an existence, so it was always a merit for the magistrate to grasp the details.

This time, the Liao State was so arrogant that he dared to entangled so many people in the territory of Daliang to ambush the Lin family's aunt and nephew, which was simply contempt for Daliang.

In public and private, they will not let go of this matter easily.

Even if the household registration system in this era is not strict enough, it is impossible for so many people to appear out of thin air.

And so many Liao people, how can they cross the checkpoint and fall between Yangzhou and Suzhou?

If you want to say that no one provides convenience for them, and you don't believe it when you kill Sun Huai and Liu Pei, Lin Qingwan is obviously not interested in the Liao people, but the people who are there to provide convenience to the Liao people.

The Lin family and the Liao people are irreconcilable hatred, and it is useless to uproot more Liao people, there will always be Liao people lurking again.

But the people who help them are different, in the territory of Daliang, such a person will be one less if he pulls out one, and the Liao people must spend a lot of money to buy or subdue such a person, and they may not be able to find the next one.

Sun Huai and Liu Pei left with two carts of corpses, and the corpses were hung next to the bulletin board by the city gate that afternoon, and they were hung in two rows, and the people passing by turned pale.

Jiangnan Cheng'an has been in peace for a long time, although the troubled times are difficult, but the local officials are still honest, although there are tax increases from time to time, but there are also occasional tax reductions, so although the people shout that life is difficult, there is really no one who can't live with the court.

Such a shocking hanging corpse is the first time in the eyes of the younger generation, and only the old people in their fifties have seen it, when Lin Ying led the troops to resist the Liao, during that time, the imperial court grasped the fine work every once in a while, and the fine work caught was hung at the gate of the city after being executed.

To serve as a warning to those who work carefully and knowingly conceal and do not report.

It's been so many years since I saw this familiar scene again.

An old man took the lead in surrounding him, and the official waiting next to the corpse suppressed the fear in his heart and trembled the gong and drum, and said in a trembling voice: "These are the fine works of the Liao State, yesterday I had the audacity to ambush the county lord and the county lord of Lin, fortunately God blessed, the county lord and the county lord are safe, now you all come up to see, whether you know or are familiar, there is a reward for providing correct information, if you don't report it, you will be dealt with according to the crime of conspiracy, and you will come up and see it......"

An old man's eyes widened, "There is a Liao dog who wants to kill someone from the Lin family?" ”

"But it's not," the official stood beside a pile of corpses and trembled in his heart, and could only keep talking to divert his attention, "Lord Lin is left with this one sister and daughter, those Liao people still don't let go, the court conviction is not as good as the heir, fighting on the battlefield, these Liao people have held a grudge for so long, and their hearts are too narrow-minded." ”

The old people spat at the corpse, "The eight kings who were killed by the heavens, dare to come to my Daliang to spread wild, come, everyone come and see if there are familiar people, and we can't let these fine works run rampant in my Daliang and harm the heroes after them." ”

The young people are boldly moving forward......

At the same time, the portraits of these corpses were also sent to various prefectures in Suzhou as quickly as possible, and it was necessary to find out the Liao people hidden in the south of the Yangtze River.

This time, Sun Huai took out a lot of money to offer a reward, and Lin Qingwan made up some more when she saw it, and anyone who provided information and proved useful could receive a reward.

Zhao Sheng received news when Lin Qingwan arrived in Yangzhou and knew that the ambush had failed.

However, this was already expected by him, and he was relieved to know that all the people sent out were dead, and hurriedly ordered the rest of the people to withdraw from Jiangnan and clean up their tails.

At the same time, a mutton restaurant in Suzhou caught fire, killing the owner and five of his associates.

This can be regarded as a big case, Zhou Tingshi took a look at it and ordered his subordinates to investigate strictly, but he only came to an unexpected conclusion.

Zhou Tingshi didn't pay much attention to it, but he soon received the official document from Yangzhou, as well as the pile of portraits.

As soon as his heart moved, he asked people to take the portrait to the merchants near the mutton restaurant to inquire, and sure enough, they found a few people they thought were familiar.

The nearby shopkeepers said, "These people often come to eat mutton, and this one seems to be related to the shopkeeper, so it's common to see them." ”

Zhou Tingshi's face was calm, and he ordered: "Dig out their corpses and let them be examined again, how did people die?" ”

"Yes."

Zhao Sheng didn't expect Zhou Cong's movements to be so fast, and whispered to his henchmen: "Let everyone return to Jiangdu, no one is allowed to go out without my order." ”

"Then the second master, how do you explain to the uncle?"

The second master patted his chest and promised that he would be able to complete this matter.

Zhao Sheng's face was ugly for a moment, "I'll talk to my eldest brother." ”

Zhao Jiecai coaxed the second prince back to the tent and received the news from his younger brother, he couldn't help but crush the paper in his hand, is the second in line so stupid?

"General," Qin Sui looked apologetic, "It's all to blame on his subordinates, and his subordinates should stay in Suzhou." ”

Zhao Jie shook his hand and said, "Forget it, let's just forget about this matter." ”

"If she doesn't take someone back immediately, she will always have to go back to Suzhou, and she can do it on ......the road when the time comes."

Zhao Jie shook his head, "No, she has already been attacked once, the Lin family will be more vigilant, although I want to kill her, but I can't let you make senseless sacrifices." That's it, no one should mention it again. ”

It's also a shame that he has to bring people back, otherwise he may not be able to deal with this side of the matter so easily, it is really too good for the second prince to toss.

"Sweep the traces away, don't let people find out," Zhao Jie's eyes flashed fiercely, and he said in a low voice: "If someone is exposed, ......"

"The subordinates will clean it up."

Zhao Jie bowed his head, but he was also a little panicked in his heart, and he was even more annoyed with his younger brother in his heart.

Killing Lin Qingwan is a big deal, but what is bigger than this is collusion with the Liao people.

The cooperation with the Liao people is a secret, he doesn't dare to contact them easily, the second child is good, he has to find them for things like assassinating Lin Qingwan, is this because they don't die fast enough?

Zhao Jie rubbed his forehead, the second child is becoming more and more unreliable, he used to be very thoughtful in doing things, why is he so eager for quick success now?

Zhao Jie thought that he couldn't let people find traces, but in Jiangnan, in terms of control, he was far inferior to the Lin family and the imperial court.

What's more, it is still a court with the support of the Lin family?

Sun Huai personally took action, not only Yangzhou and Suzhou, but also Jiangdu and other places, all under the jurisdiction of Jiangnan were checked by him, and he really found a lot of fine works, and he also touched a vine by the way.

"Although it has not yet been determined whose family is cooperating with the Liao people, the energy of this family must be not small," Sun Huai said: "Lord Lin, this person is only afraid that he is from one of the five major clans in the south of the Yangtze River, think about it carefully, besides the Lin family, who else has the greatest malice towards you and the county lord?" ”

Lin Qingwan thought of Zhao Sheng almost immediately, and she sneered and asked, "Are you sure it's someone from the five major families?" ”

Sun Huai lowered his head and pondered for a while before nodding, "Yes, the things provided to them by the Liao people are not available to ordinary people, except for the five major families, only the Lu family in Jiangnan has the opportunity to use it, but the Lu family ......"

Lin Qingwan said, "The Lu family, like the Lin family, will not cooperate with the Liao people. ”

Sun Huai nodded.

The Lin family did not cooperate with the Liao people because the ancestors of the Lin family had killed too many Liao people, and most of the members of the Liao royal family had died at the hands of Lin Ying.

And the Lu clan is just the opposite, the Lu clan went south because Fanyang was occupied by the Liao people, and many of the Lu clansmen died under the iron hooves of the Liao people, which was also a blood feud. There is really someone in the Lu family who cooperates with the Liao people, and that person is not worthy of the surname Lu.

So I can only find it from Shang Zhou, Zhao Xiesi's house.

Lin Qingwan sneered, picked up a pen and wrote a big word "Zhao" on the paper, Sun Huai was stunned, "How could the county lord think that it was him?" ”

"Can't it be him?"

"Not really, it's just that the Zhao family and the Lin family are also related, and the relationship between Zhao Jie and adults is not bad......"

"Lord Sun, don't forget how you came here as a Jiangnan observer."

Sun Huai was stunned, and his first feeling was, could it be that the county wants to repay the favor?

Lin Qingwan took the next sentence coldly and said, "I snatched it from Zhao Jie, my brother didn't recommend him, he is very angry." ”

Sun Huai sneered slightly, and said, "It's been so long, General Zhao won't still remember it in his heart, right?" ”

World friends, you can't make enemies because of a conflict of interests, that kind of narrow-mindedness is too narrow-minded.

"I'm not in a hurry, but I can't bear to keep someone remembering, my lord, let's check the Zhao family first, if we can't find it, we will check other families."

Sun Huai thought about it, and now the people who were arrested couldn't identify anyone at all, only knowing that their partners were very talkative in Jiangnan, and every time they asked for something to change, they could provide it in time.

And the person in charge of contacting the other party is dead, and they have no idea who it is.

Now that the clue is broken, I can only go to check in two ways, one way to continue to pull down the fine vine, and the other way to start from the Zhao family.

It depends on whether these two roads will merge into one road.
