Volume 1 The Return of the Old Man The Thirteenth Episode Something Goes Wrong
In autumn, although the sun is big, there is still a little coolness in the wind, and the delicate Hu bed that only allows one person is cushioned, Yao Qi and Leng Linjiang sit opposite each other, and there is a sound on the food table, and the aroma of meat slowly overflows.
"Eh, have you heard, there is a new explanation for the Yang family's case." The man who opened his mouth was the big man at the dining table next door, dressed as a bearded man with narrow sleeves, his voice was like a bell, and his beard trembled slightly when he spoke.
The running hall that was serving the food collected his legs and feet, paused slightly, and talked about gossip from a good stream: "What the guest official said is the Yang family of Xuanpingfang." β
"In Chang'an City now, who else is more famous than the girl from the Yang family." The other young scholar smacked his mouth, and the other party's roast was still a little aftertaste, and he squinted and smiled.
Ran Tang nodded and said with a smile: "The villain has also heard that this case has now been moved to the Internal Security Division, and the Internal Security Division is no better than Jingzhao Mansion, and she has to be beaten and spit out." β
How can this word of mouth be more effective than the tweeter at the entrance of the village, and the right and wrong come so quickly, and the matter of getting up in the morning is known to the Manlifang at noon, or there is no secret in Chang'an City.
Yao Qi and Leng Linjiang quickly gave each other a look.
Leng Linjiang pretended to cough lightly: "No matter how powerful the Internal Security Division is, it can't be bent into a move." β
The three of them looked over together, and Hu Ren said in surprise: "Son, I don't think I know yet, the internal security department led people to seal the Yang family, and more than a dozen people of old and young have taken it down, and now they are locked up in prison." β
"Flutter", Leng Linjiang choked, and took it all, is this going to kill them all.
He shook his head, and went off the scientific examination with Han Changdu, he still knew a little about his temperament, and sighed: "This, the internal security department also asked." β
The scholar sneered: "Question, when the young envoy of the Internal Security Division Han was in office in Jiannan Dao, he was the famous jade-faced Yama, and the means of questioning him were the kind of blood." β
Yao Ji took the bamboo chopsticks and slowly turned the meat in the dipping sauce.
The Department of Internal Health just took Yang Yinghua away, and before he was tried, he took the Yang family again.
The methods of the Internal Health Division, in the modern words of her previous life, have always been low-key and luxurious, but this time they are as fanfare as big as a villain who suddenly succeeds.
She couldn't figure it out, could it be that this Han Shao Envoy looked like he had an ascetic face, but in fact, like the prince, he was a keen high-profile appearance.
"Eh, eh," Leng Linjiang shook the bamboo chopsticks in front of Yao Qi: "Eh, Ah Qi, what do you think, the meat has made you rot." β
Yao Qi came back to his senses suddenly, approached Leng Linjiang, and lowered his voice: "Old Leng, you said, if Young Envoy Han can't ask anything, will he be angry and beat them all to death?" β
"Poof-" Leng Linjiang sprayed a meal of wine, his eyes were as big as copper coins, and he opened his mouth: "No, Ah Qi, what do you think, Young Envoy Han is also a serious scientific candidate, how can he be so indistinguishable from wrong." β
These are two different things, is there any inevitable connection between the scientific examination and the distinction between right and wrong?
Those who entered the scientific examination and became ministers have all been in any dynasty and generation, or there are so many unjust cases, are they all made up blindly?
Yao Qi pursed his lips: "Lao Leng, you are also a serious scientific candidate, and you don't know what to do." β
Leng Linjiang glared at the beads of his eyes, and sighed fiercely: "Ah Qi, it's heart-piercing, have you been abandoned by the scientific examination, or do you have any misunderstanding about not distinguishing right from wrong." β
"......" Yao Qi was speechless: "The books in the books are all scientific examinations, and it can be seen that there are many books that have been read in the dog's stomach." β
Leng Linjiang stared at him and was speechless.
But isn't it, most of the money in Pingkangfang was contributed by the scientific examination lifter, and most of the prostitutes who were let down were made by the scientific expedition.
A gust of wind swirled, and He Denglou ran over panting, crossed his waist, his face was white, and he kept humming: "Leng Shaoyin, Boss Yao, hurry, hurry, go back, yes, yes, yes." β
"There's a case, let's go." Yao Qi cut off He Denglou's words, and got up on his knees, it was really unfavorable for the passing year, and it was not good for a big family to eat a meal, and it was cheap and cold.
He Denglou shook his head, and finally took a breath: "It's not a case, someone took a flying slave to Chang'an County, and the county magistrate of Chang'an County saw that the matter was serious, so he asked Facao to send people to Jingzhao Mansion." β
The three of them rode their horses and whipped up, galloped back to Jingzhao Mansion, got off the horse, Chang'an County Fa Cao greeted them, hurriedly walked to the government office, and said: "A few months ago, Chang'an City held a five-year pigeon race, the slaves were released outside the Yumen Pass, there were tens of thousands, and then ninety percent of the slaves flew back to Chang'an City, I thought that the rest of the slaves were folded on the road, who expected that this morning, when the slaves of the Li family flew back, and brought a letter on the paws, the second son of the Li family read it, and came to report the humbleness, The county magistrate felt that the matter was very important, and ordered him to report to the governor Yin. β
"Believe it." Leng Linjiang changed into his official uniform, tied up his loose bun neatly, took the letter handed over by Fa Cao, glanced at it, his face changed greatly, and stuffed it to Yao Ji with his backhand, and his lips trembled in shock: "It's a big deal." β
Said to be a letter, in fact, it is a two-finger-wide, palm-long strip of cloth, which feels like a piece of clothing, tied to the claws of the flying slave, all the way back to Chang'an City from Yumen Pass, the plain white material has long been gray and abrupt, and the edges are all wool.
The cloth strip is messy fly-headed small letters, although the writing is hasty, and the ink is a little sloppy, but the penmanship can still see the chapter, obviously practiced.
"We will go to Mohe Yanmoi, get lost, and save quickly. Department of Internal Health Yang Youzi, May 25. β
Yao Qi's hand shook, remembering the "Miscellaneous Notes of the Western Regions" he had read.
"Mohe Yan moraine, 800 miles long, the ancient Sha River, no birds, no beasts in the afternoon, no water and grass."
With eight hundred miles of quicksand between Yizhou and Guazhou, the traveler caravan may be lost, but the baggage convoy carrying several Sinan cars should not be lost.
However, this is not the point, the point is that Mohe Yanqi is outside Yumen Pass, southeast of Yizhou, and the baggage convoy should return after arriving at Yumen Pass, and it is impossible to go deep into this place and get lost in the quicksand.
According to the news from Yumen Pass, the baggage convoy never arrived at Yumen Pass at all.
can see the meaning of this note, but the baggage convoy seems to have bypassed the Yumen Pass and inexplicably appeared in Mohe Yanmoi.
When things go wrong, there must be demons.
After a few words, Yao Qi's face also changed, and he twisted the cloth and said, "The second son of the Li family can come over." β
Fa Cao nodded: "Here, the lowly position knows the severity, let him wait in the hall." β
This Li family has no official and no title, since the ancestors began to run the medicinal materials business, practicing medicine and selling medicine for decades, quite respected, and placed the house and pharmacy in the Xian Fang.
One is to enter from the Yanping Gate, and it is convenient to purchase medicinal materials back and forth.
Second, the people living in the neighborhood near Xianfang are all poor and have a difficult livelihood, and the Li family pharmacy has always done good deeds and can better benefit the township.
But the second son of the Li family did not inherit the ancestral industry, but took the road of the imperial examination, and he was already a son at a young age, and in two years, the middle jinshi is unknown.
Seeing Leng Linjiang and Yao Qi, Li Ergongzi made a salute, as if he knew what the two wanted to ask, and without waiting for the two to ask, he said in an orderly manner: "The flying slave in the lower is released on the eighth day of the fourth month in the Yumen Pass thirty miles away, and on the twenty-eighth of May, he rushed back to Chang'an City, according to the speed of the flying slave on the same day, about the beginning of June, the flying slave should also come back, but he did not wait for the flying slave in the next, he thought that it was folded on the road, after all, from the Yumen Pass to Chang'an City, thousands of miles away, the journey is difficult. But, this morning," he took a breath: "The flying slave fell in the yard, and after checking it below, one of the wings and one of the claws of the flying slave was injured, the wound had been cleaned, the claws were also bandaged, and the pigeon ring on the paws was also there, and the other claw was tied with this letter. β
Yao Qi nodded: "You can bring the cotton cloth to bandage the wound." β
Li Ergongzi held a piece of gray cloth in both hands and handed it to Yao Qi: "I brought it, I was afraid of destroying the physical evidence, so I didn't dare to untie it, I cut it with scissors." β
Yao Ji glanced at Li Ergongzi, and was quite surprised by his meticulousness.
Leng Linjiang was also surprised, turned over the knot and looked carefully, his face sank, and he nodded at Yao Qi.
The strip of cloth is an ordinary plain white cotton cloth, without embroidery and dyeing.
Military attachΓ©s mostly use this cloth to make their midcoats, for no other reason, it is cheap and sweat-absorbent.
What is unusual is that the knotting technique is indeed exclusive to the Department of Internal Guard, Yao Qi politely thanked him: "This time, thank you to the second son, if you think of something after you go back, I hope to report it in time." β
Li Ergongzi also politely replied with a salute, and followed Fa Cao out of the government office.
Leng Linjiang looked at the letter again: "The knotting technique can't be wrong, but this handwriting may not be, we haven't seen Yang Youzi's handwriting, so we can't judge." β
Yao Qi said: "What about Lord Fu Yin." β
Leng Linjiang counted the days: "Today's review of the backlog of cases, Lord Yin of the Mansion has gone to the Tingwei Mansion, and it is estimated that it is good to be able to come back in the middle of the night." β
Although it is said that the matter is urgent, it is a matter of human life, and it is too urgent to slow down, and if it is delayed until tomorrow, I don't know what kind of complications will arise.
It's not difficult to find Yang Youzi's handwriting, go to Yang's house to search, and you can always find some letterheads, codexes and the like, but now that the Yang family has been sealed by the Department of Internal Guard, it's not so easy to enter.
800,000 silver and defense maps were lost, and Yang Youzi was wanted, which is something that all Chang'an City knows, and it is precisely because of this incident that Yang Yinghua's accident has attracted special attention.
In fact, Yang Yinghua's case was handed over to the Department of Internal Health, and it had nothing to do with Yao Qi, but she felt a little pity for the weak Yang family girl, like the desperate appearance of herself who had just crossed over, but was in prison, knowing that she had grievances, but she sat idly by, she couldn't let go.
