Before Sang Luo began to tell his speculation, he first glanced sideways at the inn slightly, because he knew that Tang Xiaohao, this kid, was watching somewhere without eavesdropping.

Sure enough, Tang Xiaohao sat at a table in the inn, holding a teapot in his hand, looking leisurely.

Tang Chen glared at Tang Xiaohao, but Tang Xiaohao turned a blind eye.

Sang Luo began to narrate: "Before sunset the afternoon before yesterday, Ling Gongzi first saw the two disciples of the broken golden gate outside the city, and there was a conflict with them, and after the conflict was resolved, the two went straight to the west city gate. Soon after, Ling Gongzi saw the five beggar disciples again, and then, after the people from the Broken Golden Gate entered the West City Gate with the Nanrong family token, the beggar gang was also about to enter the city, but was stopped, at this time, it was Ling Gongzi who let the guard let them into the city out of kindness. ”

Tang Chen nodded and said, "Yes, that's the case." ”

Sang Luo said again: "There are three questions here, one of them, why do the people who break the Golden Gate hold the token of the Nanrong family?" Second, what did they hurry into the city for? Third, why do the beggars track them? ”

Tang Chen was silent, he naturally knew the answer, but he also heard from Sang Luo's words that Tang Xiaohao had not yet informed Che Zhihai about it, and it seemed that his son also knew that Che Zhihai had a special identity.

Sang Luo turned his head and glanced at Tang Xiaohao in the inn again: "That night, when the Shendu Army was patrolling, they found the five beggars on the street, as well as the two people who broke the golden gate. To be precise, three beggars were found at that time, because one of them had died in the inn next to him, and one was at the back door of the inn, plus two disciples of the Broken Golden Gate who were already dying, it was easy to analyze that the five beggar disciples were here to hunt down and kill the two disciples of the Broken Golden Gate, and this was the purpose of the five beggar disciples entering the city. ”

Tang Chen just stood there and listened, and he was also doing analysis in his heart.

Sang Luo continued: "Therefore, it can be analyzed that the five disciples of the Beggar Gang have found the two disciples of the Broken Gold Sect who live in that inn. The beggars helped five people, two of whom entered the inn, arranged for two people to lurk in the surrounding high places with longbows to wait, and the remaining one person blocked the back door of the inn. Who knew that when they started, the five beggars first lost one person, that is, the beggar who died in the inn, and then the two disciples of the broken golden gate escaped with serious injuries, but they were ambushed by the archers who had been ambushed in advance, so that they fell from the roof, and just when the beggars were about to die, the Shendu army happened to arrive, so the leader of the leader evacuated, and the well-trained Shendu army also realized that things were not simple, and began to disperse the manpower to surround it, and then found the beggar at the back door, but, Eventually, the two beggars, the leader and the back door, escaped, and the two archers were killed by the Shendu Army. ”

After finishing speaking, Sang Luo looked directly into Tang Chen's eyes: "The three questions I raised before have already been answered, that is, the purpose of the Beggar Gang chasing the two Broken Golden Gate disciples is to kill them, but why do the people of the Beggar Gang want to hunt down and kill the people who break the Golden Gate?" ”

Of course, Tang Chen had a general direction in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it.

Sang Luo continued: "In addition to the imperial court, there are rivers and lakes and different ways in this world, the eight major sects of the rivers and lakes and the twelve sects of different ways are two very huge forces, especially among the military generals, there are many people from the rivers and lakes sects, and they are proud, but there are also people from different ways, but these people from different places dare not disclose their former identities, why is this?" Because there is an immutable rule of the heretical way, it is never allowed to cooperate with the government, and once the people in the heretical way take refuge in the government, they will be hunted down and killed, and this is the reason. ”

Tang Chen said deliberately: "According to this, the reason why those two disciples of the Broken Golden Gate are holding the token of the Nanrong family is because they have taken refuge in the Nanrong family?" It can be regarded as taking refuge in the imperial court, so he was chased and killed by the beggars? ”

This can be regarded as answering Sang Luo's first question, why the two disciples of the Broken Golden Gate would hold the token of the Nanrong family.

"No, this has to go back to the beggar gang again," Sang Luo shook his head and said, "Although the beggar gang belongs to the Jianghu sect, it is also the largest gang in the rivers and lakes, and the reason why it ranks first is because there are two reasons, one is that the beggar gang has a large number of people, and the other is that the beggar gang is also inextricably linked with the different sects, in other words, the beggar gang is not only a Jianghu sect, but also a different sect. However, the beggar gang will not care about the heretical traitors, as far as the current beggar gang is concerned, in addition to maintaining the basic order of the rivers and lakes, they also have a duty, which is to hunt down and kill the deceit. ”

When Tang Chen heard this, he immediately thought of the news that Che Zhihai said before he became a caricature - Nanrong's family was raising caricatures!

Sang Luo suddenly smiled: "So, the five members of the Beggar Gang chased and killed the two disciples of the Broken Golden Gate, not because they took refuge in the Nanrong family, but because those two guys have become Guijia, this is the only answer." Now, there is only one last question left, why did those two disciples of the Broken Golden Gate who became the Broken Golden Sect and held the token of the Nanrong family enter the Divine Capital City? ”

Sang Luo's words were very clever, but the original intention was why these two disciples of the Broken Golden Sect who had become Guijia would take the token of the Nanrong family to enter the Divine Capital City? Did the two of them become Guijia before they took refuge in Nan Rong's family, or did they become after they took refuge? That's the biggest problem with this case.

Of course, Tang Chen knew why, but he couldn't say. If you tell Sang Luo the news that Che Zhihai spied on, it is equivalent to throwing a difficult problem to this great strategist, what should the great strategist do after learning the news? Is it to confirm the authenticity of this information or to pretend not to know? Not to mention the series of questions that extend later.

Sang Luo saw that Tang Chen didn't plan to say anything, so he had to say: "Since the bodies of those two deacrates are in the morgue of the Shendu Army's yamen, then it's time for General Tang to close the case." ”

After Sang Luo finished speaking, Tang Chen was stunned, what does it mean to close the case?

Sang Luo said again: "It's a pity, the relevant culprits in this case are all dead, and now I know that the two people who hold the token of the Nanrong family are only you, me, Ling Gongzi, as well as General Mu and General Liao of the Shendu Army, as well as those Shendu soldiers who have seen the token with their own eyes under the Xicheng Gate, as for the leader of the beggar gang who is still alive, I said earlier that they will not interfere in the affairs of the imperial court, so if you go all out to arrest him now, it will only cause trouble." ”

Sang Luo was already teaching Tang Chen to do anything, as long as the two Guijia holding the Nanrong family token would not leak out, the case would be over.

Sang Luo, Tang Chen, Tang Xiaohao, Mu Yinghao and Liao Yanqi naturally did not divulge this matter, but the soldiers who had seen the token under the West City Gate the day before yesterday were not sure, so those poor soldiers became substitutes for the dead.

This is the only way to close the case quickly.

People are swordsmen, I am fish and meat, this is the truth.

Tang Chen, who knew how to do it, turned around and left, and went straight to the Yamen of the Shendu Army with his ironclad guards.

After seeing Tang Chen go away, Sang Luo turned around and returned to the inn and sat opposite Tang Xiaohao.

Tang Xiaohao smiled and asked, "Why is my father here?" Seeing that you are talking so seriously, you must be talking about what happened in the past two days, right? Brother Luo, did my father say that he wanted to kill me? ”

Sang Luo didn't answer his words, and said bluntly: "I'm not interested in who the rest of the beggar is and what his name is, but I will help him out of the city." ”

Sang Luo was basically saying that Tang Xiaohao knew where the last of the five beggars was.

Tang Xiaohao naturally continued to pretend to be stupid: "What is the last beggar?" ”

Sang Luo looked at Tang Xiaohao and said, "If you really don't know, you should be puzzled now, not a hippie smile, and you won't ask me right away." Xiaohao, although you are smart, you have no experience, since you are smart, you will be killed. ”

Tang Xiaohao's smile became very embarrassed, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Sang Luo said again: "I also know you, you have a purpose in everything you do, you pretend to be a disciple all day long, and it is also to prevent the Nanrong family from thinking that you are a threat, so you brought someone here yesterday to play the game of marriage, it must be for the beggar who was killed by me, but you didn't know that he would become a deagar, and I believe that even the beggar leader you hid didn't know." ”

Tang Xiaohao poured a cup of tea for Sang Lu, and took the opportunity to whisper: "What do you mean by the great strategist?" That's it, don't go around in circles. ”

Sang Luo said: "This case is over, you have to rot in your stomach, don't say anything, let him hide it first, in a few days, I will find a way to send him out of the city, if something goes wrong in the past few days, you will bear the consequences, anyway, I have already thought of another rhetoric, did I make it clear?" ”

Tang Xiaohao nodded: "I understand." ”

Sang Luo asked again: "Then do you understand?" ”

Tang Xiaohao smiled reluctantly: "I also understand." ”

Sang Luo smiled: "Tang Gongzi should go and accompany the frightened girl Hanshuang and wait for the inn to be unsealed." ”

At this time, Sang Luo and the previous judgment are like two people, when to say something, what tone to use, what kind of tone can make the other party understand the priorities, Sang Luo is very accurate, and can immediately change into another appearance after speaking, as if he carries countless masks with him, and he is changing them at any time.

This kind of person is terrible.

After Sang Luo left, Tang Xiaohao regained his usual expression, his previous smirk, embarrassment, and even fear were all disguised according to Sang Luo's tone and rhythm, and the content of his words.

Tang Xiaohao never thought that he could smash Sang Luo and hide from the world, and he was also waiting for Sang Luo to say it directly. As long as Sang Luo said it, he would admit it, and since he was given the steps, he quickly raised his feet and walked down.

In the words that Sang Luo said earlier, the sentence "It's just that you don't know that he will become a decanter, I believe that even the beggar leader you hid doesn't know" is equivalent to telling Tang Xiaohao the truth of this matter. It's like whether it is Tang Chen or Sang Luo, they deliberately did not analyze what Xiao Xuan experienced during the period from fleeing the night before to being taken to the Four Seas Inn yesterday.

The two disciples of the Broken Golden Sect holding the Nanrong family are Guijia, this is already the answer, but this answer cannot be pursued.

To sum up, Sang Luo has a good heart, not only for Tang Xiaohao, but also for the overall situation.

——

Tang Chen came to the front of the Shendu Army Yamen with a large number of ironclad guards, and walked in alone, and when he was about to walk to the front of the lobby, Mu Yinghao stepped forward, and was just about to salute, but was held up by Tang Chen.

Tang Chen said: "General Mu, there are only the two of us here, the situation is urgent, so I won't go around in circles." The emperor sent me to investigate the case of the Four Seas Inn, and I have already found out. ”

Mu Yinghao pretended to be calm: "Oh? What's going on? ”

Tang Chen said: "The city is indeed mixed in with the Guijia, that is, the two disciples of the broken golden gate, what they came to the city for, because they died, there is no way to know, but I can be sure of one thing, the token of the Nanrong family held by these two people is forged, as for the five beggars, it has also been found out that they are the disciples of the beggar gang, they are here to track down the Guijia, and they don't know that the two people pretended to be the retainers of the Nanrong family." ”

Mu Yinghao smiled: "It's like you don't know that fake Iron Guard Captain." ”

Tang Chen knew the meaning of Mu Yinghao's words, nodded and said, "Yes, the same." ”

Mu Yinghao said: "Then the case is over." ”

Tang Chen said: "That's right, it's over, but someone has to be responsible for this matter after all." ”

Mu Yinghao nodded slightly: "General Tang is aware of everything, who does he think should be responsible?" ”

Tang Chen said: "Whoever let those two armors into the city should be held responsible, although the sentry guard is dead, but the day before yesterday there were three teams of Shendu soldiers who saw the fake token with their own eyes." ”

According to the military system of the Dachang Dynasty, five people are a team, ten people are mounds, fifteen people are teams, forty-five people are sentinels, two hundred and twenty-five people are flags, and one thousand people are the general flag, the general flag is also called the battalion flag, five thousand people are the battalion flag, and the ten thousand people are called the army.

In other words, all the forty-five soldiers guarding the gate of the West City the day before yesterday had to die.

Although Mu Yinghao is not as much as Tang Chen, the Shendu Army is brought by himself from Nanrong's family and trained by himself, and they are all brothers who live and die together.

Mu Yinghao gritted his teeth and said, "General, that's forty-five lives." ”

Tang Chen said: "My son is also involved, I will play truthfully and ask the emperor to condemn him." ”

Tang Xiaohao has always been the grandson of Nanrong Qufeng in name, and he is about to marry Princess Baomeng of the Harcha Department of Rouyuan City, so even if Tang Chen really plays, he will only be reprimanded. And Mu Yinghao offended Tang Chen because of this, and it would also make the master Nanrong Qufeng lose face in the court.

Mu Yinghao had no choice but to clench his fists and say: "Tang Gongzi has nothing to do with this matter, his subordinates know what to do." ”

Mu Yinghao was just about to leave, Tang Chen said again: "I have prepared some money and food, and you will hand it over to the family of that sentry for me." ”

Mu Yinghao said again: "No need, my subordinates have it." ”

Mu Yinghao was just about to leave, Tang Chen said again: "I'll go with you." ”

Mu Yinghao was furious: "Does the general still have to personally supervise the beheading?" I don't think that's necessary, right? ”

Tang Chen's subsequent words extinguished Mu Yinghao's anger: "You misunderstood, I just want those soldiers who died in vain to remember my face, so that they can seek revenge on me in the next life." ”

When Mu Yinghao heard this, he didn't say anything anymore, took off his saber and put it in his hand, and strode towards the yamen.

That evening, in the western camp of the Shendu Army, the forty-five soldiers knelt on the ground and faced the setting sun after unloading their armor, but no one cried, and no one begged for mercy and cried out, these people knew exactly what they were like the sentry guard.

However, they don't actually know what they are.

Is it human? However, Mu Yinghao and Tang Chen are also human beings, and they are also human beings, why do they kneel here and wait for death?

Tang Chen personally served the wine, personally served it to the soldiers to feed them to drink, and then stood in front of them and said: "Everyone, remember Tang Chen's face, if there is an afterlife, remember to seek revenge from me." ”

Mu Yinghao stood behind the soldiers, looked at Tang Chen, and said in a loud voice: "Brothers, it is me Mu Yinghao who is incompetent and cannot die on the battlefield with you, your family and I will settle down, please go on the road with peace of mind!" ”

After speaking, a soldier suddenly shouted: "Nanrong Changmao, ambition is thousands of miles!" ”

Subsequently, the rest of the soldiers also chanted the eight-character family motto of the Nanrong family together, and in the chorus of shouting, the heads fell to the ground.

The soldier's shouting before he died, hearing Tang Chen's cold sweat, he subconsciously looked at Mu Yinghao, and found that Mu Yinghao was also looking at him, but his eyes were full of resentment.

Tang Chen never thought that even if these soldiers were dying, they would not forget their identity as Nanrong's family.

Once upon a time, the Nanrong family also wanted to dominate Jiuyuan, and the family motto of the Nanrong family at that time was - Nanrong Changmao, aiming at Jiuyuan.

No matter how big Jiuyuan is, it spans only 10,000 miles, and replacing the Jiuyuan in those eight words with 10,000 miles is just a change of soup and not a change of medicine.

The heart of Nanrong is well known to passers-by.
