Chapter 16: Xiangyang Gathering Dragons (1)
After the three of them returned to the room, covered the door, and returned to the table to sit down, Zhu Wenyu said, "Eagle, do you know why Mu is in a hurry to return to the Nangong family?" ”
"Brother Nangong didn't say it in his letter, why is this?"
"In Danling, Mu and I have analyzed that Mu's five uncles 'black and white sword' Nangong Zhi are very likely to be related to the Tianyi League, and I guess that Nangong Zhi may be one of the leaders who trained dragon slaying killers for the Tianyi League, and the other leader is the 'Blood Knife Death' Du Feng, because those dragon slaying killers are very similar to the two of them."
"Oh? Is there such a thing? Why? "The desert was a big surprise.
"We don't know why this is so, but all kinds of signs indicate that Nangong Zhi should at least participate in the affairs of the Tianyi Alliance, Nangong Zhi is the fifth uncle of the wood, and he is an elder, so if you want to embarrass him, you naturally have to go back to the door to ask for an order."
"Oh, this is also true, no wonder Brother Nangong hurried to Shandong, and the letter did not say in detail, it turned out that there was such an inside story." The desert was a big surprise.
Zhu Wenyu knew that the desert was thoughtful, very good at analyzing and judging cases, and could often have some new ideas and discoveries in the inadvertent clues, so he told the desert what had happened in the past few months since the separation of Baishui Town, and Tang Yun also added from time to time, when it came to Bazhong County's slap of Wang Dingbiao, Tangmen discussed, Danling investigated the case, met an ambush at the foot of the mountain, and recuperated in the deep mountains, until he saw Yu Shixiong in Leshan, and the siege of Chongqing, it took more than an hour to roughly say it clearly, and Zhu Wenyu's mouth was dry, and he couldn't stop drinking water. I'm afraid that there has never been a time in my life when I have been talking so incessantly for more than an hour, and the desert occasionally interjects a few words, but most of the time he just listens attentively and thinks carefully.
"So, what we had guessed was pretty much the same. At least now we know that there are good players such as Du Feng, Nangong Zhi, He Honghua, and Golden Butterfly in this Tianyi Alliance, as well as a large group of dragon slaying killers, and the bloody cases of extermination in various places are also committed by these killers, in order to accumulate wealth and prepare for great use? ”
"yes, that's pretty much it." Zhu Wenyu nodded.
Desert said while thinking slowly: "Then let's analyze it again, the silver medal of the dead 'Wanyue Hook Soul' Zhang Qianshan is the tiger character, and the 'Jiuqu Xiang' Golden Butterfly master and apprentice is the mink character, when it is related to poison, then He Honghua should also be the mink character, and since the 'Blood Knife Desperate' Du Feng and the 'Black and White Sword' Nangong Zhi are training killers, they belong to the wolf group together with the killer, by the way, there is also the leopard group to which the 'Nanhai Suo' Liu Haiqi belongs. The word 'wolf' naturally means predator, and what the word 'leopard' refers to, we originally guessed that it was specifically for assassination and assassination, but this is just a guess, and it probably won't be wrong. However, this Qianshan Xing Assassin 'Thunder Swordsman' is called the Tiger Group, what is the difference between this leopard and the tiger, and what kind of task this Tiger Group is for a while, so I will ignore him for the time being. As for what is the purpose of this Heavenly Clothes Alliance? Now it seems that it is really difficult to judge, if it is to dominate the martial arts? And what did you do by pulling the Mongols and the lamas in? It doesn't seem to be good for themselves, and others won't do anything that doesn't do good. Or is it really the intention of the important ministers of the court to seize power, which we have speculated in the past? Or even usurpation and rebellion? If this is the case, the matter will become more and more troublesome, if it is only to seek to seize high positions and power, it is easy to do, but to involve the people of the Western Regions of Mongolia, it is no longer so simple, it is already a great crime of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, which will easily cause war disasters and harm the people. ”
Zhu Wenyu really hadn't thought about it so much before, he was shocked when he heard it, and then he thought about it, if it was really the case, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat: "This Ming Dynasty has just been established for more than ten years, and the people have just been able to take a breath and recuperate, but don't make another fire." It seems that this matter is really not just a matter for people in my martial arts. ”
"Not necessarily, after all, what we know at present is still done by people in the martial arts, and the people who want to come to this leader must also be related to the martial arts, if there are soldiers and horses coming, we really can't deal with it, but if we can suppress this matter in the martial arts, it is not impossible to eliminate their power and eliminate a war. Further, although the imperial court in the Eguo Gong Chang Yuchun has died early, but Xu Da Lanyu and other generals are still there, the Ming official army swept north and south, and laid down this piece of the country, if it is said that the battlefield is really fought with real knives and guns, I am afraid that no one can be the opponent of these generals who can fight well, the people in the Tianyi League will not be so stupid, want to see the difference on the battlefield, do the real chapter, according to my guess, I am afraid that most of them still use the people in the martial arts, using assassination and assassination to seize the throne and other means to seize power. As for these lamas who are involved in the Western Regions of Mongolia, there are also two possibilities, one is to buy it with money, and the helpers invited are easy to deal with, with Brother Zhu's skills, and the Nangong family that supports Brother Zhu later, there are few ** when the major sects, as well as the Tang Sect, even Yu Shixiong, the head of the Qingcheng faction, has some friendship with Brother Zhu, almost the power of the entire Central Plains martial arts, how can I not be afraid of them, these masters of the Western Regions, I am afraid that these people are not here for money, but have some forces in Mongolia and Tibet as the background, with them as the background, The Tianyi Alliance wants to cooperate with the outside and use the strength of these people, or arrange pressure on the border, create some kind of opportunity, or absorb masters, intending to assassinate, after all, it is not easy for them to find the help of masters in the Central Plains Martial Arts. In case this is the case, there will naturally be some price to pay for using the power of other countries in this way, maybe the Tianyi Alliance promised them what conditions or returns, maybe these costs are not anything like the power of the imperial court, but I am afraid that it is also related to the territory of the Ming Dynasty. "The more you think about the desert, the deeper you go.
Zhu Wenyu was dumbfounded when he heard it, even if he was smart, he didn't like to use his brain, especially in this complicated situation, which had to be analyzed layer by layer, which was even more of a headache for him, he had never thought about it so comprehensively before. However, the desert used to be a fast hunter, and it was necessary to analyze and judge so carefully and carefully in investigating and handling cases, but it was its strength. At this time, Zhu Wenyu listened to the desert little by little, and realized that the pool of water in front of him was so deep, the situation was so big, and so complicated, it was far from what Zhu Wenyu had thought before, just the idea of the "Thunder Swordsman" Nangong Lei to figure out the people behind the scenes, and he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. "I wonder how shocked the emperor's uncle would be if he knew this?" Zhu Wenyu muttered.
"Hehe, the emperor has been fighting on the battlefield for decades, breaking the former Yuan, defeating Chen Youliang, capturing Zhang Shicheng, and laying down this piece of the Ming Dynasty, which is a man of great talent and strategy, even now, the Ming Dynasty is still constantly appeasing the rebellions in various places and rectifying the borders. Brother Zhu don't worry. If it really comes to a situation that we can't deal with, the emperor will also have his own way, and the Ming Iron Horse will come out, nothing will matter, but it will tire the people to suffer a war. In order to avoid wars, the people will suffer less disasters, and the martial arts will be spared catastrophes. Desert reassured.
"Brother Sha is very right." Tang Yun next to him couldn't help nodding in agreement.
"By the way, Eagle, just now you said that you, Brother Yan and Brother Zhou investigated a case in Xiangyang, how did you do it?"
"This matter has been clarified, it was not killed by my beggar brothers, but by the mountain bandits on Julong Mountain, more than 200 miles west of Xiangyang City, there is nothing difficult."
"Hehe, with your eagle out of the horse, this kind of small case is not a trivial matter?"
"The official named Zheng Fengming, more than seventy years old, is said to be a corrupt official, was denounced, was about to report to the court for investigation, but he took the first step to hand over the form to return to the field, I don't know if the court saw that he was old and decrepit or what, it was approved his resignation, let him bring a bunch of property back to his hometown in Guizhou, who knew that on the way he was robbed of wealth by the strongman, the family was killed cleanly, people who knew that he was robbing the people and did all the bad things and was punished by God, God has eyes for him not to die well, hehe." Desert laughed.
"Corrupt officials step down? A clean family? Tang Yun was surprised.
"Yes, none of the more than ten people survived, and the old boy in his seventies actually married five wives and concubines, and he is not a good person at first glance."
"What about the porter? This old guy won't walk with the box on his own, will he? Zhu Wenyu asked.
"There are also more than a dozen porters in the same company, and none of them ran away, all of them were killed, all of them were harmed by this corrupt official."
"Eagle, I have a bad feeling, but I don't know what's going on."
"Oh? Then Brother Zhu think about it, don't worry. "The desert is busy. He has been handling cases for many years, and he knows that this kind of fluttering and flickering thoughts are not logical, it is purely a feeling, but it is often a new idea or train of thought, which he has often encountered in the past when handling cases, and it often has miraculous effects.
"Wait until I think about it...... Think about it...... By the way, Eagle, don't you think this is also a case of murder? There is a lot of money in the same way, and there is no one to live, the difference is that in the past, they were all rich gentry, and this time it was just a rich man on the way home. Zhu Wenyu said suddenly.
The desert also woke up for a moment, slapped his thigh, and stood up: "Yes! Why didn't I think about it? I was just trying to find out if it was the beggar gang disciples, and after finding out the murderer, I reported it to the local yamen and rescued the beggar gang disciples who were imprisoned, but I didn't think about it...... But it's not right, we have found out that it was done by the strongmen of Julong Mountain, and it has nothing to do with the Tianyi Alliance? Besides, Brother Zhu said that Du Feng is still in Chongqing Mansion, no matter how fast he is, it is impossible for him to commit a crime in Xiangyang a month ago, and then go to Chongqing Mansion again, unless he can fly. No, no. Desert shook his head and sat down again.
"I'm just guessing, and I'm not sure." Zhu Wenyu also felt that it was impossible, and sneered.
"But it is true that we can check whether this Julong Mountain and the Tianyi Alliance have an affair, since the Tianyi Alliance can find the forces of the Western Regions, the grass cowards in the Central Plains may also be the force they want to woo, to deal with the Tianyi Alliance, we must not let go of any clues, in any case, it is beneficial and harmless to check, it is really not possible, these strongmen stay in Julong Mountain to harm the people, even if they help the officials and soldiers to suppress them, it is not necessary." The desert is another road.
"That's true." Zhu Wenyu nodded.
"By the way, where is Brother Zhu going next?" Desert asked.
"Needless to say? I'll go to Julong Mountain with you. Zhu Wenyu said with a smile.
"Isn't Brother Zhu going back to the capital?" The desert was surprised.
