Chapter 181: Bamboo Rice (5)

"We ...... We received a copy of the blood letter of the year! Xun Zhou looked at the two people who were looking at him opposite, and subconsciously said.

As soon as he opened his mouth, there was a sense of unwarranted annoyance, but when he said that, when he faced the two thoughtful faces in front of him, he was inexplicably relieved in his heart.

The secret has been pressed in the bottom of my heart for too long, and it is somewhat overwhelming.

Since he said it, then there is no need to hide it anymore, Xun Zhou said: "The messenger who sent the letter was robbed by mountain bandits on the way to deliver the edict, so that the edict was stolen. The messenger was afraid of being implicated, so he went to the bandit village to negotiate, and the bandit village was very reasonable, and after hearing about it, he returned the stolen edict to the messenger! ”

As soon as he said this, Lin Fei's brows on the other side couldn't help but twist up: "I haven't heard Wei Fu and their people who handled this eucalyptus say that there is an edict that has been looted!" ”

"Ants are still greedy!" When Xun Zhou said this, he sighed helplessly and explained, "The messenger didn't dare to say this, and the edict was taken back, and the sealing wax was not removed, so the right to send the edict over in a hurry as if this had not happened." ”

Then...... The next thing everyone knew, the famous general died tragically, and Wen Xuance became the one who replaced the edict.

"When nothing happened to the edict, the messenger had already taken a chance, and chose to conceal it; Something happened to the edict, and the messenger was afraid that he would not dare to say it! When Wen Mingtang heard this, he said clearly, "It's not that I can't understand the messenger's concealment, it's just that this concealment makes the whole eucalyptus missing a vital link." ”

Xun Zhou said "um" and said, "Originally, except for the two messengers, I am afraid that no one else will know about this matter." My brother-in-law and I have been checking all these years, and it is also a coincidence that last year, an old messenger told the old man to return to his hometown, and his ancestral home happened to be in the county where my brother-in-law is located. His ancestral house could not be taken back because it had been invaded by the wicked, but my brother-in-law came to help, and the old messenger spoke of it with guilt. ”

After that, Xunzhou and the others naturally went to check the news of the bandit village back then, and after checking it, they were immediately shocked.

"We've asked the people around us, where did that place come from?" Xun Zhou said, "There has never been any banditry, so how can you say that you want to loot the edict?" ”

Either the old messenger lied, but he was too old to say it himself, and no one had anything to do with it, and who would have known about it if he hadn't opened his mouth?

"We don't think there's any need for him to lie, in that case, there's only one possibility......"

Without waiting for Xun Zhou to finish speaking, Lin Fei said: "Someone pretended to be a robber, intercepted the edict, exchanged the edict, and then used the messenger for fear of being implicated, so he did it unknowingly." ”

Wen Mingtang nodded, not forgetting what Xun Zhou said before: "What do you mean by the blood book......"

At the mention of the word "blood book", Xun Zhou's face turned pale, he looked at Wen Mingtang, and said with a solemn expression: "The old messenger who talked to us about this is dead." ”

As soon as these words came out, Rao is Lin Fei's face couldn't help but change, and without waiting for Xun Zhou to speak, he took the initiative to ask, "How did you die?" But artificial? ”

Xun Zhou didn't shake his head or nod, just looked at Lin Fei and said, "He fell into the water when he went out at night and died, because everyone in the tavern can prove that he drank a lot of wine that day, and it makes sense to be drunk and stumble." ”

So...... looked at it for people, but Xun Zhou didn't shake his head or nod, there were other things in it.

"Two days after the messenger's accident, my brother-in-law received a letter that had been secretly thrown in through the crack in the door of the yamen with his name hidden. When my brother-in-law opened the letter, he saw the messenger's bloody letter. Xun Zhou said, "Because of the previous seizure of the house, the messenger has written a lot of notes, and my brother-in-law knows his handwriting, whether it is his signature or handwriting, he can match the messenger." If there were no surprises, he had written it. ”

As for the content of the blood letter, it is to say that it was looted on the way to the edict, and beg for a strict investigation of the matter.

If this matter is to inform Xun Zhou's brother-in-law, it is really necessary, because they have already known about it from the messenger's mouth, so the messenger's blood letter is obviously not to inform Xun Zhou's brother-in-law, but ......

"Physical evidence." Lin Fei said, "Leave a piece of physical evidence." ”

People are still alive, but they leave physical evidence in advance, and not long after leaving physical evidence, something happens, so ...... There is only one thing that can be proven.

"The messenger must have discovered or known something, and knew that he was going to die, so he left behind a physical evidence." Lin Fei said.

Xun Zhou looked at Lin Fei, who either didn't open his mouth in front of him, and when he opened his mouth, he would inevitably point to Lin Fei, and nodded: "Lin Shaoqing is right!" ”

It seems that this person's ability is much more powerful than the rumors, Xun Zhou is a little embarrassed: No wonder Sister Mingtang trusts him so much!

"The delivery of an edict is not left to one messenger, but what about another?" Lin Fei didn't wait for Xun Zhou to sigh, so he continued to ask.

Xun Zhou, who was forced to interrupt his emotion, shook his head and said, "I died, I heard that he ate unclean things and died of malaria, and he died two months earlier than the old messenger." ”

It is not a coincidence that the two messengers have had accidents within two months, or that there is an attempt to clear the matter completely.

When Lin Fei heard this, he furrowed his eyebrows and asked Xun Zhou, "Have you checked the two messengers?" ”

Xun Zhou nodded and said, "I checked it, but I didn't find it." ”

Lin Fei let out an "um" and stretched out his hand to him: "Take a look at the news of the two messengers you found with me."

He didn't check it, so the phrase "didn't find it" was said by Xun Zhou, but it wasn't said by him Lin Fei.

Xun Zhou: "......" He raised his head and looked at Wen Mingtang on the side, but saw Wen Mingtang nodding at him, and said: "Lin Shaoqing has handled a lot of eucalyptus, hand it over to him to investigate, maybe you can find clues that you and I have not found." ”

On the investigation of eucalyptus, Lin Shaoqing is of course much more powerful than them! Xun Zhou took out a stack of envelopes from his arms and handed them over, saying, "I did bring it this time, I was afraid that Sister Mingtang would not believe it, just in case, but it came in handy if I didn't think about it." ”

Wen Mingtang looked at Xun Zhou, who had everything ready, and thanked him: "Thank you for running for my father's business!" ”

Xun Zhou hurriedly said when he heard this: "Sister Mingtang's words have tormented me, and the teacher treats us like a mountain......

Before he finished speaking, Lin Fei, who had received something on the other side, spoke, this time he did not cooperate with the politeness he had earlier, but interrupted Xun Zhou's words when he opened his mouth: "Since you are as kind as a mountain, why do you want to switch to the king and his subordinates?" ”

Wen Mingtang: "......"

Their Lin Shaoqing is so good at "talking", and I don't know if anyone has done anything to him because he can "talk" like this.
