Chapter 34: See the corpse again
What happened next was complicated and trivial, but it didn't make a big difference. When Xinlingjun arrived at the square outside the city, he was honored by the young people in the city and did not resist anything. And Xinlingjun also treated him politely, and the whole process went surprisingly smoothly.
Next, the small 100 people brought by Xinlingjun were busy: half entered the city to take over the city defense, and the post guards conveyed the news of the small city to the armies in the form of a victory. Each doorman arranged the garrison of each army in and outside the city. Ma San was ordered to be the military envoy of the city lord, and led the young men in the city to the new station outside the city. After the armies entered the garrison area, they were busy setting up camp in the middle of the night, arranging patrols, setting up passwords, and a series of routine duties.
The soldiers were led from the rear army to the edge of the city, with one battalion stationed inside the city and one battalion outside the city. The 4,000 people of the People's Army were almost in place, and they were slightly adjusted according to the terrain, and eight camps were set up respectively.
While the battalions were busy setting up camp, Xinlingjun summoned Mangmao and Jin Cong, together with the disciples sent to each battalion, to the square to discuss tomorrow's affairs. Everyone unanimously agreed that the most urgent task tomorrow would be to immediately ascertain the movements of the Qin army and to reorganize the armies to prepare for battle. By the time the camp was over, the roosters had crowed. Xinlingjun asked the gatekeepers assigned to the battalions to return to the camp and take good control of the troops, while the rest of the gatekeepers entered the city and rested in the castle lord's mansion, while the postmen entered the camp of the warriors in the city.
Zhong Yue said to Xinling Jun: "Seeing that the moon is shining here, I would like to invite a few gentlemen to carefully examine the bodies of those assassins. Zhang Yu said: "The minister also invited a few gentlemen to patrol the city together." Immediately, a few of the doormen came down. Xinling Jun saluted and said, "But there are gentlemen!" A few people replied: "The branch should be!" Xin Lingjun said: "Mr. who currently has no deacon, please enter the city for a while." I want to teach Mr. Yu Zhongyue, don't refuse! ”
Zhong Yue replied: "How dare the minister, it's just that the king is working hard, how is it good!" ”
Xinling Jun said: "The sun has taken a break for a while, and at this time, when the rooster crows, it should usually be up." Just Mr. Tired! ”
Zhong Yue didn't say much, but gave a little salute, first asked a doorman to go to the city lord's mansion to find a wind lamp, that is, he walked to a car in the dark, beckoned a few doormen to help, carried down three corpses from the car, and carried them to a sheltered place under the wall next to the city gate, and not far away was the soldier guarding the city gate.
With the wind lantern that the doorman took from the city, Zhong Yue carefully looked at the corpse. "The male corpse, beardless, with round eyes and a ...... face Seven Blades. The blade of the neck pierces straight into the throat and flips outward, cutting off the large tendon ....... Zhong Yue whispered in his mouth as he flipped through the inspection. A doorman was nearby, quickly taking notes on a piece of wood.
"The male corpse, with long hair, round eyes, and a ...... face Eight blades. The blade of the neck pierces straight into the throat and flips outward, cutting off the large tendon ....... ”
"The male corpse, with a short beard, round eyes, and a ...... face Seven Blades. The blade of the neck pierces straight into the throat and flips outward, cutting off the large tendon ....... ”
"It's strange that the three of them are so consistent in their self-killing methods, they must be the same family. Whose disciple is this? ”
Xin Lingjun on the side suddenly said: "Nie Zheng! ”
Zhong Yue raised his eyebrows and said in surprise: "Why did the king say this? ”
Xinlingjun said: "There is a daughter living in a small room on the edge of the city, I don't know her name, she only calls 'little slave', and there is a child with her, but she has a relationship with Zheng Gongzi. In the middle of the day, the assassin was on the same side, I was in the same account with the little slave, and the little slave and his son could talk about the chivalrous Nie political affairs, especially showing that Nie Zheng was hiding his name, cutting his nose and gouging out his eyes, disemboweling and removing his intestines, which was equivalent to these three sons! ”
"The little slave actually knows about Nie Zheng? It's rare to ......" Zhong Yue sighed, and suddenly woke up again: "She has a relationship with Zheng Gongzi? ”
According to Mang Shen, this is a post point, and Zheng Gongzi is on duty. But he went into the hut of the little slave, and his whole armor was taken off there. ”
"When was this?"
"I think it's after I enter the barracks. Zheng Gongzi followed the car to the river in the abandoned city, and did not enter the barracks, but returned to the post point where he was on duty...... "Xinlingjun tried his best to recall the scene at that time, and also tried his best to make up for the missing scenes.
"Judging from the time, Zheng Gongzi should have met the assassin...... The sword wounds on his body were very deep, almost up to a bone...... "Zhong Yue groaned, and then leaned over to examine the body, "Dressed in three layers, underwear, middle jacket, outer robe, and a ...... under a skirt and a skirt."
As he was talking, Zhang Yu hurried over, his face dark. approached, and whispered: "Two more corpses were found outside the back door......
"Yes......" Zhong Yue asked suspiciously.
Zhang Yu nodded solemnly, as if he fully understood what Zhong Yue's unspoken sentence would be.
"I'll wait and see." Xinling Jun said, and then said to the sentry on duty at the city gate: "No one is allowed to approach!" "I took the doormen here through the city, followed Zhang Yu out the back door.
The body lay in a pile of rubble, surrounded by weeds and thorns, apparently intentionally.
"It's Nie Zheng again, the method is exactly the same!" Zhong Yue only glanced at it and concluded.
Xin Lingjun also said: "When the assassins came, three people entered the account, and two porters waited outside the camp. When the chaos arose, the two men were gone. At the time, I thought it was an unrelated person, but it seems that there were five assassins. ”
Nie Zheng...... Little Slave ...... Zheng Gongzi ......" Zhong Yue said to himself.
Zhang Yu asked, "What did the gentleman say?" ”
Zhong Yue came back to his senses and said with a smile, "Your Excellency said something related to assassins. Oh, in my opinion, where did these two Assassins come from? ”
Zhang Yu said: "Self-destruction, and then self-destruction, is a loyal and brave man!" It's just that the origin is difficult to find. ”
Zhong Yue said: "Therefore, what the right man said is very mysterious! Mr. Sizhi, after the assassination, he cut his nose and gouged out his eyes, and cut his abdomen and intestines, but who was it? ”
Zhang Yu said: "Han Ke Nie Zheng! ”
Zhong Yue said: "What you see is slightly the same as that of Mr. Mr. think about it again, how did you hear about Nie Zheng? ”
Zhang Yu said: "I don't know." ”
Zhong Yue said: "A woman lives in a hut outside the city, I don't know her name, she only calls 'little slave'. Strange or not! ”
Zhang Yu said: "Arrest this woman and torture her, naturally everything will be clear!" ”
Zhong Yue said: "Mr. Zhang's high opinion! What to plunder? How do you know Nie Zheng? ”
Xin Lingjun interjected: "Mr. Zhongyue's words are insightful. The little slave on the edge of the city, how did he know Nie Zheng? And the matter is obviously repeated in the mouth, and it is extremely skillful, even its children can blurt it out. ”
Zhong Yue said, "Hmm? Your lord's words are a clue. There is no need to torture and plunder, the king can summon him to serve, ask him slowly, and naturally get the truth. ”
Xinlingjun said: "The sky is about to dawn, these corpses must be dealt with first, otherwise it may cause panic in the army." ”
Zhong Yue said: "This place is remote and desolate, drag those corpses over, and bury them here in a shallow place." As soon as the military is over, they will go out and investigate well. ”
