Ding Qin was actually thinking about this as well.

According to the previous analysis of him, Tong Yan, and the people of Jiangshang, the Nine Turnstile and Ruyifang would not easily kill themselves, unless they had a clear intention and wanted to throw themselves into one of them.

After I arrived in Tiannan Prefecture, I had limited contact with people.

Ding Qin first ruled out Jiagu Yun. Because he was originally a man of the Nine Turnstiles. And now he is in a high position, even if he wants to kill, he will personally take action, secretly act, and it is impossible to send someone who only has the third order of spiritual power to do it.

And then there's Wei Zhi. It can be said that the biggest contradiction with himself is Wei Zhi, and Wei Zhi's own cultivation is not high. However, after all, Wei Zhi is also a person from the Nine Turns.

Her actions at that time were completely under the command of Jia Gu Yun, and what she represented was Jia Gu Yun. If Jia Guyun doesn't do it, she won't easily set herself on fire.

What's more, she also has the title of one of the top ten charms of the Nine Turns, and she can't be regarded as a nobody.

Thinking about it, Ding Qin frowned.

Could it be him?

Seeing the change in Ding Qin's expression, Tong Yan asked tentatively, "Childe has figured out who it is?"

Ding Qin was silent for a moment, "I'm not sure. However, after checking and checking, he is the most likely. ”

Tong Yan also seemed eager to know the answer for a while, "Who is it?"

"Qiangren, the military commander of Yangshan County, the border county. When Ding Qin said this name, he felt a little incredible.

Tong Yan was also stunned. "Qiangren, didn't he ask the border county guards to send a letter for us to escort you? why would you be suspicious of him?"

Ding Qin said, "Because I have a secret of his." Under the pressure of Jia Guyun from the Nine Turns, he confused black and white, replaced the criminals with innocents, and went to settle a murder case caused by the Nine Turns. I was there when Jia Guyun was negotiating with him. ”

Tong Yan exhaled slowly, "You mean, he wants to kill people?"

Ding Qin said, "That's right. As soon as I die, the only one who knows the truth is the Nine Turnstile and himself. He won't say that the nine turnstiles got what he wants, and naturally he won't say it. The truth is directly in the world, and he has peace of mind. ”

After a pause, Ding Qin sorted out his thoughts, "Moreover, some of our doubts have been solved. As a military order, Qiang Ren was somewhat exposed to some information about the Nine Turnstiles, so he was able to send someone to disguise himself as a person from the Nine Turnstiles, use the signal of the Nine Turnstiles, and carry the tokens of the Nine Turnstiles. ”

"However, since he doesn't know much about the Nine Turnstiles, there will be the loophole you are talking about. The reason why he wanted to remove me by the hand of the Nine Turnstile instead of Ruyi Fang was because he knew that I had contact with Jiagu Yun. The reason why he asked you to escort me was to find a way to get your attention, to make sure that it was the Nine Turnstile that was responsible, and to make himself appear to be out of the way. ”

"In addition, as soon as I die, if there is a dispute between the Nine Turnstile and the official, no matter how much Jia Guyun says that Qiangren is not, even if he drags the entire case and plate out, no one will believe it. Because at that time, there was a strong relationship between the Nine Turnstile and the official, and it was impossible for the official to believe the words of the Nine Turns. And if there is no dispute between the Nine Turnstile and the official, it means that the Nine Turnstile is reluctant to swallow the official's questioning and does not want to expand the situation. In that way, even if Jiagu Yun knew that it was Qiangren who did it, he would not go to him for trouble. It can be said that he is a win-win. ”

When Ding Qin said this, he couldn't help but clench his fists, "At that time, I still felt that he was relatively not biased in handling things, at least a little more thoughtful than his subordinates. Unexpectedly, he is not thoughtful, but old and spicy. ”

Tong Yan smiled bitterly at this time. "Ding Gongzi, you are still young, especially if you don't understand officialdom. How can you see the people in the officialdom at a glance? By the time you see them clearly, you may have already suffered a lot. ”

He sighed heavily, as if remembering something from his past.

Ding Qin didn't have the heart to think much about what Tong Yan said. He walked up to the boss and used his spiritual power to directly wake him up.

Without waiting for Ding Qin to speak, the man took the initiative to speak, "You, what are you doing? Tell you, it annoys us nine, nine turnstiles, and you feel good!"

Ding Qin smiled lightly, "Okay, then let me ask you, why did the Nine Turnstile kill me?"

Lao Dao, "Nine turnstile kills, never ask the reason!"

Ding Qin asked again, "Then do you know who I am?"

"Ronin Ding Qin!"

"Who sent you here, is it Wei Zhi?" Ding Qin didn't really ask, but wanted to find some contradictions from his words.

"Knowingly ask!" the boss replied categorically, as if it were the case.

"That's good. Ding Qin took two steps to the side and woke up the third child. The third child woke up and saw that the boss had also been captured, and there was a lot of fear in his eyes.

The boss had already thought that Ding Qin might want to be interrogated separately, and he was about to say something, but he didn't want to be directly blocked by Ding Qin, and he had no ability to speak. Ding Qin asked the third child, "You were sent by the Nine Turns." ”

The momentum of the third child is obviously weaker than that of the boss, "Know, I know that you still ask, and you still don't let us go?"

Ding Qin smiled again, "But Yan Zhenglin Yan sent you?"

Who Yan Zhenglin is, Ding Qin doesn't know. Because this name is a fictitious name that he took on the spur of the moment.

Unexpectedly, the third child also immediately responded, "Knowingly ask!"

At this point, Ding Qin is already very clear. He unlocked the boss's meridians again, "Okay, I don't need to ask about your specific intentions." Go back and tell Qiangren the military order, saying that I am fine on the road, and I am taken care of by the military order. ”

Suspicion immediately appeared on the boss's face. The third child didn't control his mouth, "How do you know ......?"

Ding Qin snorted coldly, "If you don't want people to know, you can't do it unless you do." Let's go. ”

Seeing the two of them crawling and leaving, Tong Yan couldn't help but say, "Ding Gongzi, do you just let them go?" Since Qiangren intends to kill you, if you don't get rid of the trouble, won't it be difficult to feel at ease?"

Ding Qin smiled lightly, "This kind of person, killing him will dirty my hands." I think someone will help me kill him. ”

"What do you mean?" Tong Yan was puzzled, "Could it be that Gongzi wants me to report to the Ming Army? In that case, these two should not be released." There are specific rules for official questioning, and it is difficult to convict without witnesses. ”

Ding Qin said, "I think, the nine turnstile will do it." Now, there is no contradiction between the official and the nine turnstiles. I want to write a letter to the Nine Turnstile and Ruyi Fang in the name of General Affairs Tong or Jiang Junshou, and write about today's events. At the same time, he made it clear to the two sects that if these people were really sent by the two sects, they hoped to stop in the future and not become enemies of the authorities. If not, I hope that the sect will find out the facts and stop being provoked. ”

After hearing this, Tong Yan nodded frequently, "Well, this is a way." Okay, I'll write a letter at the next station, and send someone to evacuate it to the guards. ”

Tong Yan did what he said, and when he was at the next station, he wrote a letter directly to the people on the river. After that, they went on again, and by the fourth or fifth day there were a great number of people following them on the road, and by the seventh day, at the end of the day, there was no one to follow them.

At this time, Ding Qin had already reached the border of Zhongshan County. Before saying goodbye to Tong Yan, Tong Yan specially explained to Ding Qin in detail what he knew about the Nine Turnstile and Ruyi Fang, and gave Ding Qin a piece of his personal name tag, especially telling him that in case of special circumstances, he could go to the nearest military liaison station for help.

Ding Qin was extremely grateful. During this period of time, Tong Yan continued to tell him a lot of his life history, and everything can be called a life lesson. With such a difference, Ding Qin was somewhat reluctant.

In the subsequent journey, at least Ding Qin did not find anyone following him. He basically regained his freedom of movement, although he knew that in this land, he had to remember the two sects of Ruyifang and Nine Turnstile at all times.

About half a month later, Ding Qin heard a piece of news.

The news was to the effect that in a county town on the northern border, Shang Ling was first killed, and later Jun Ling was also killed. It is said that after the military order cracked the murder case of Shang Ling, he was about to be promoted by his superiors, but before he could be reused, he was dismembered into his home.

In terms of specific details, it is obvious that it has been added to the vinegar, but the news heard from several areas is generally the same, indicating that Qiangren must be really dead. Moreover, some people mentioned that the murderer killed only one of them, and that no one in the family was injured, and all the belongings were not touched.

Although he achieved his goal, Ding Qin did not have much pleasure in his heart. He didn't want anyone to die because of himself, although he also knew that such a person would be a scourge sooner or later if he lived in the world.

He just felt heavy. These people are dressed in a layer of disguise, so that people can't tell the good and the bad at all.

After a few more days, Ding Qin had reached the southern seaside. From here, even the sea area and islands are all within the scope of Nanhai County, but because the sea path is between adjacent islands, some islands only have a boat every two or three days, and the distance that seems to be not far on the map is several days.

Due to the hot climate in the south, the customs and customs of Nanhai County are very different from those in the north, and even the food is very different. In this way, along the way, Ding Qin's mentality has also changed. From the original eagerness to know the memories of his life experience, he has begun to become calm.

This kind of calmness is not about forgetting the past, but about accepting the reality.

What's more, vaguely, he felt that the key to his memory recovery might not lie in Guo Cheng, the smelting master of Honglang County. If you end up coming for nothing, instead of letting your loss occupy all your mind, it is better to enjoy the comfort of travel in the process.

Therefore, when he landed on the first island, Ding Qin was in no hurry to book a boat to the next island. He found an inn by the sea and planned to stay for two days, just enough to relieve the discomfort of sailing.

However, before the evening came, he realized that he did not seem to have a blessed life.

Because there is a news on the island: there is a large-scale invasion of sea beasts in Honglang County, and the local defense measures are in danger, if they cannot resist the impact of sea beasts, the personnel of the entire Honglang County will be dispersed and evacuated!

That's a problem.

Ding Qin couldn't help frowning. Once the personnel are dispersed and evacuated, who knows where Guo Cheng will be evacuated?
