Outside the small courtyard of Xishan, the locust trees are neatly arranged, and several heads are hidden in the canopy, one of which is Su Yan. The crown on its right side is Wang Yan, and next to it on the left side is Yan Zhen. Although Su Yan already has a perfect strategy, he is afraid that he will be sparse, and if he is true, he can at least control the remaining filial piety, and he can always use it as a last resort.

At this time, it was night, the Xishan courtyard was dark, and he couldn't see the surrounding scenery clearly, only hearing the frogs and insects in the pond under the tree, and the gusts of spring breeze blowing, but it was a pity that the West Building didn't see it, otherwise he could have recited a poem.

"It's coming!" Yanzhen's voice broke Su Yan's beautiful imagination. She adjusted her posture to hide herself in the canopy as much as possible, and at the same time she could see the movement in the small courtyard.

Sure enough, it was the beard, and when I looked at it carefully this time, I felt a chilling feeling. I saw Yu Zhixiao driving his horse, jumped off the horse before he reached the gate of the courtyard, and after looking around cautiously, he stepped forward to meet Wang Liang.

"What kind of woman is it that you want me to come in person?"

Wang Liang leaned over and said, "The princess of Chu who is out of exile, few people know, and I also learned about it by accident, so I will inform you immediately." ”

"Princess of Chu?" Yu Zhixiao was shocked, but he didn't believe it: "Can there be proof?" ”

"Naturally," he said to show him a token, the token was made by Su Yan temporarily asked the craftsman Li in the dark market, according to the booty of the Chu King's Palace that he had seen from his father when he was a child, although it was old, Su Yan couldn't remember the appearance of the token for a long time, but he could still roughly imitate him for four or five points, and what he wanted was that it was only four or five points, Yu Zhixiao would be suspicious, as long as he doubted, he would carefully check the token, she sprinkled ecstasy on the token, if people look at it for a long time, their vision will be blurred, and their limbs will be weak.

Wang Liang said to Yu Zhixiao: "The palace card of Chu State is considered an ancient thing, and I have confirmed that she is the princess of Chu who is outcast. ”

"What about people?"

"There are too many people to bring it, as long as you want, you can go to check it at any time."

Yu Zhixiao nodded, he didn't seem to have too many doubts, and it seemed that he really responded to that sentence: the mind is simple and the limbs are developed!

Yu Zhixiao took the palace card, looked at it repeatedly for a long time, and was suddenly attracted by a trace on the opposite side, he approached the palace card to check it carefully, and suddenly frowned.

"It's a replica!"

"How can it be fake?" Wang Liang pointed to the palace card in surprise and said: "The Chu State Palace card is made of special material, there is an elegant aroma, come close and smell it, it can refresh your mind, I have smelled it, but you can wake up!" ”

Su Yan couldn't help but admire, although Wang Liang was timid and selfish, this mouth was clever.

Yu Zhixiao heard such a thing for the first time, so he came close and smelled it for a long time, but he didn't smell the elegant smell, but his whole body was soft, and he didn't stand firm and fell to the ground.

"This thing...... What is it! ”

"That's a good thing, thank you for taking care of me over the years!"

Yu Zhixiao felt a sudden feeling of exhaustion spread throughout his body, he raised his head with the last bit of strength, and slowly fell asleep under Wang Liang's triumphant smile.

Yan Zhen flew down first, patted the leaves hooked on his robe and said, "I should have killed Tan Cen Dog Thief in the first place, how can there be such a bad thing today!" Saying that, he kicked his foot at Yu Zhixiao, and only relieved to see that he really passed out. Wang Yan jumped down with Su Yan, and without saying a word, he pulled the carriage hidden in the shadows, and beckoned Wang Liang to carry people up.

Su Yan patted Yan Zhen on the shoulder and said, "Tan Cen has lived carefully to this day, so that he can't figure it out enough to mention me to Murphy, but his head hangs your sword." ”

Yan Zhen shook his shoulders and said, "It's true, even if he still has some self-knowledge!" ”

Under the afterglow of the sunset, the weeping willows by the river are swaying, and the warm wind is blowing, and it is a good spring.

When everyone worked together to pull people to Qinghefang, it was the end of the next day.

Yanzhen tied him up with a lot of flowers, and forcibly fed him a dose of 'good medicine' that was enough to weaken his whole body for three or four days, and at the same time, his consciousness was clear, so clear that he could remember what he had eaten a few days ago and what he had done to whom. This medicine has always been used in the criminal department to interrogate prisoners, and I don't know where I got it, in short, it would come in handy. After doing this, he left in a hurry, saying that there was a class in the school and he had to go back. How could Su Yan not know, he went back just to show off the battlefield battles with the students and tell stories, the smart ones may be able to learn some tactical tactics from those fights, and the unsmart ones can only listen to them as a story.

After dealing with the matter, Wang Liang said diligently: "I don't know that the people in this place don't know, even Yu Zhixiao hasn't been here, and the two of you can rest assured that they won't leak the news." ”

"It seems that you have also learned the three holes of the cunning rabbit!"

"Don't dare, don't dare, I'm just leaving a way out for myself."

Wang Yan touched the old ash on the door frame, and frowned: "You haven't been here for a long time, have you?" ”

"I've been living in an old house, and this place is a place I use to hide, and I won't use it unless I have to, so it's dirty, don't dislike it."

As he spoke, Yu Zhixiao woke up completely, stared at his round eyes, and immediately became angry when he saw Su Yan: "It's you again, what do you want to do?" ”

Wang Liang gave Wang Yan a look and then quietly hid behind the door, Wang Yan didn't bother to pay attention to him, cowardly, he never bothered to say anything to him.

Su Yan didn't say much nonsense, and directly showed him the token of the Criminal Department: "Do you recognize it?" ”

Yu Zhixiao's pupils trembled, and he nodded hurriedly.

"Since you do, then you should also know that every question I ask next, you must answer it truthfully."

Yu Zhixiao hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded.

"How many things have you done for Tan Cen over the years, including which ones and who people are involved, you tell me one by one."

Yu Zhixiao suddenly laughed gloomily and struggled hard. He was very strong, and if it weren't for the medicine, the rope that bound him would probably have broken.

He struggled for a while and then gave up, and said to Su Yan: "I don't understand what Miss Su said, I'm just the guard of the Tan Mansion, and it's natural to do things for Lord Tan, but those things are all legal things, how can Miss Su say it, it seems like something is wrong." ”

"Why pretend, didn't we already tear our faces last time in the Xishan Courtyard, you were beaten stupid by General Yan, right?"

"Miss Su, my family is worried about the country and the people, and I dare not let go of a criminal, what kind of abduction and trafficking business did you disguise as a border city woman at that time, my family naturally wanted to set a trap to arrest you, is it wrong for the officers and soldiers to catch criminals? But it was a misunderstanding, didn't we explain it later? ”

Su Yan didn't expect this person to react quickly, and he was rounded back, but after all, he was a fool and couldn't last long.

"You said it was all a misunderstanding, okay, I'll let you meet someone and see if it's a misunderstanding!" After that, he motioned for Wang Yan to bring someone in.

Compared with the last time we met, the little girl at this time changed her clothes, combed her hair in a clean and neat bun, slim and very good-looking. Yu Zhixiao naturally didn't recognize her, but the little girl recognized it, and she recognized it when she turned into ashes!

Su Yan pulled her to her side and said softly to her, "You carefully identify, is it the wicked person who captured your sister back then?" ”

The little girl stretched out her hand and pointed to Yu Zhixiao's forehead, "I recognize this scar, it is she who kidnapped my sister!" ”

"Are you sure it's this scar? Can't look away? ”

"Definitely not!" The little girl's tone was very anxious, and when she said this, her eyes were already red, "My sister was taken away by him, I hid under the bed and saw it clearly, I think about his appearance every night, I am afraid that I will forget, and I will never find my sister again!" ”

"Little doll, not all men with scars on their heads are bad people who catch your sister, isn't it too casual for you to point at a deer and a horse with just one scar?"

Su Yan said angrily: "Yu Zhixiao, your mouth is quite hard, do you think I am just this witness?" ”

"You mean Wang Liang, right?" Yu Zhixiao laughed and said: "This person is a good gambler, a rotten person, do you also believe him?" He's just a dog I raised from the gaming table, and I was kind enough to give him some living expenses every month, but I didn't expect him to bite back, but what a good dog! ”

Wang Liang, who had been hiding behind the door, gritted his teeth with hatred and rushed out: "Yu Zhixiao! I nodded to you, and you scolded me for being a dog! ”

"Isn't it?"

"I've done so many bad things for you, even if I die, I'm going to pull you back!"

Yu Zhixiao didn't think so, although he was tied up, it didn't affect him laughing there at all, and provoked Su Yan while laughing: "Miss Su, you pay attention to human and material evidence in handling cases, so you take the two of you to fool me?" I really can't figure out how you solved the previous two cases? ”

"Are you done laughing?" Su Yan kicked him in the leg, "You think I can arrest you without all the evidence?" The Criminal Department has always only talked about evidence in handling cases, and no, I will not act rashly. ”

"What do you mean?"

"Wang Yan, have you arrived?"

Wang Yan immediately ran outside the door to check, and after a while, a message came: "It's coming!" ”

Before the words fell, Yang Lian hurried over, presented a booklet, and said after a while: "I searched Yu Zhixiao's residence overnight with several eldest brothers of the Criminal Department, and found a dark room, although there was nothing in it, but some account books that had not yet been destroyed were found from a wooden shelf, although many were mutilated, but I collected the information and wrote it all on this booklet!" ”

After Su Yan thanked Yang Lian, he opened the booklet, which was full of names and headless and uncontinued price codes, and it was the same when he turned a few pages, Su Yan's eyes hurt when he saw it, and he couldn't help frowning. Yu Zhixiao found out and said: "Miss Su broke into the house without a search order, this is not in line with the laws of Rongguo, if you can't find anything, I have to sue you when I go out!" ”

"Don't be complacent, although the ledger is badly damaged, the names in it should be able to correspond to the dark market, it's just a matter of time."

"What are you going to do?" Yu Zhixiao said angrily.

Su Yan put down the booklet and said with a smile: "Let's wait for one more person, and when he comes, everything will be clear." ”

Yu Zhixiao glared at her impatiently, "You wait for me, my family will definitely settle accounts with you!" ”

"We'll see!"

This person didn't let Su Yan wait too long, half a pillar of incense, there was a sound outside, and several officers and soldiers in disguise from the Criminal Department led a person in, Yu Zhixiao squinted at it, and his face turned pale with fright.

"Miss Su, Lao Luo is late, and I hope to be able to make meritorious contributions!"

Su Yan looked back at the shopkeeper Luo, and today he actually had a kind feeling on his face.

"Abandoning the darkness and turning to the light is the right choice, I will intercede with the eldest grandson on your behalf and strive for leniency."

Shopkeeper Luo hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "Miss Su, I was also forced to be helpless, I was originally a little shopkeeper in Liangshan, Yu Zhixiao found me, he threatened me, saying that if I don't go to Kyoto to be the shopkeeper of the dark market, he will kill my wife and children!" He's been sending people to spy on us for the past few years, and I really can't help it! Miss Su, don't worry, since you have found me, I will tell you everything I know, and I can only repay you with this! ”

"If it weren't for the fact that you desperately protected Craftsman Li that day, and let me find out that there was still a trace of justice in you, I wouldn't have found you and helped you save your wife and children, if you help me today, I will help you get out."

Shopkeeper Luo kowtowed a few more times, took out a thick book from the package he carried, got up and said: "Miss Su, this is the account book of the dark market in the past few years, Yu Zhixiao is not worried about us, and he will send someone to take it away every few months, and there are traces of his marks on it." ”

Su Yan took it, flipped through a few pages, and showed one side to Yu Zhixiao: "This is your handwriting, right?" ”

"Just a few words, a few strokes of underlining, you are sure that it is me, you are a trick!"

"Dead duck has a hard mouth!" Su Yan cursed, and showed him the account book that Yang Lian had gathered, "The account book found in your residence can correspond to the account book of the shopkeeper in the dark market in many places, whether it is the name of the person or the capital, it is the same." You are very vigilant, worried that Shopkeeper Luo is not loyal, so you will copy the account book, in case Shopkeeper Luo will do something in the future, and you will not be able to verify it. It's a pity that your hand has exposed yourself! ”

"You can continue to stalemate with me, but I don't have the patience, I will hand over these two ledgers to the Criminal Department, they will make a move, but they are not so polite, when the time comes, directly send troops to your hometown, there must be a lot of information there, right?"

"Su Yan! You are powerful, but these are all done by myself, and they have nothing to do with Lord Tan, I stole money from Tanfu and opened a dark market, and I also ordered the shopkeeper Luo to resell the treasures in the palace, buy a little people, kill people and set fires, I did it, you arrested me and took me to the criminal department, if you want to kill, you have to listen to the respect! ”

"Nothing to do with Tan Cen? With your own strength, how did you evade the government's search, and how did you sell the population slightly? Where did you come from, do you have a place for Tibetans? You have done so many dirty things, and how did you destroy the evidence one by one, so that so many families who have lost their wives and children and sisters in the downtown area cannot be found. I guess it's not just the downtown area, but also outside of Kyoto. One Wang Liang can only control the downtown area, how many people are still staring at you? Su Yan slammed the ledger on his face, "You are just a guard, even if you steal money from Tanfu, it is not enough to support such a huge business, without Tancen, you can't do anything!" ”

Yu Zhixiao may be tired, or maybe he is desperate, and he sighed long: "Su Yan, you can't find out, there are only traces of me in everything, you don't have to work in vain, kill me, end all this." ”

"Then tell me where you sold all those people? Where are the people who haven't changed hands yet? ”

Yu Zhixiao's eyes were closed, his mouth was tightly closed, no matter how Su Yan coerced and tempted, he never opened his mouth again.

"Most of the buyers are not from Ruoshui, and some live in distant towns." Shopkeeper Luo said.

"Listen to what you mean, there are still some people who are sold in Ruoshui?"

"I don't know, but the buyers are all hiding their names, or they're sending an unfamiliar face, so it's hard to determine who it is."

"What about those who haven't sold yet, there's always a place to hide, right?"

Shopkeeper Luo shook his head and said helplessly: "Those women who are about to be sold are generally prepared by Yu Zhixiao, and when someone bids to buy them, he will send someone to send them, so I don't know where to hide, and I don't dare to ask." ”

Wang Yan stepped forward and said to Su Yan: "He is very loyal, he won't say it, if you don't send it back first, I know that he has a favorite person in Kyoto, who is in the Qinglou, I arrested him, and used it as a bargaining chip, he shouldn't talk about us being exposed." ”

"No, you can't. Yu Zhixiao has been missing for a day and a night, and he has fought in the Xishan Courtyard, so Tan Cen may be suspicious. ”

"How's that to be?"

"For the time being, let's ignore the woman who has been sold, and let's find out the person who hasn't changed hands yet! You immediately go to inform the Criminal Department, send more people, and carry out a search centered on Yu Zhixiao's residence, as long as there is no one living in it, and the suspicious ones will be carefully checked one by one. He has always been handling the population himself, and there are many people in Kyoto, and if he hides people far away, he is afraid that he will attract attention, so he may hide people near his residence, whether it is to monitor or transport. ”

"Understood!"
