The surprise on Jin Yichuan's face was not faked.

He really wanted to know how the second brother deduced the conclusion that Wei Zhongxian directed and acted himself.

Shen Lian sighed: "It's very simple, if a person wants to disappear in this world, the best way is of course to fake his death."

Jin Yichuan was puzzled: "Fake death? But there is no Wei Zhongxian's body here, and there is nothing that can prove his identity, so no one will believe that he died like this, right? ”

That's true......

Shen Lian pondered for a moment or two, and suddenly turned his gaze to the rutted track on the ground.

Lu Jianxing followed his gaze to the ground, and suddenly understood what he meant.

If Wei Zhongxian really directed and staged this robbery, then it is very likely that the death scene he faked was not here, but fled for a distance according to normal logic, and then was chased and killed.

This is in line with the perception of others about him.

After all, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and a person like Wei Zhongxian will never be killed without resistance.

Lu Jianxing gritted his teeth and asked in a low voice, "Do you want to catch up and have a look?" ”

Jin Yichuan's heart tightened, and he hurriedly stopped: "But what if the second brother guesses wrong?" ”

"If, I mean, there really is such a group of strongmen who rob Wei Zhongxian's convoy here, with a few of us, even if we catch up, what can we do? Besides, even if the second brother's inference is correct, Wei Zhongxian really directed and staged this robbery in order to get out of danger, then he will definitely handle the tail of his hands cleanly, and even if we catch up, I'm afraid we won't be able to find any trace of them......"

“……”

Lu Jianxing's brows were tightly locked, and his heart was at war, but in the end, he had to nod and admit that Jin Yichuan was right.

But then, Lu Jianxing's words changed: "Even so, I still think we should catch up." ”

Jin Yichuan frowned and wondered, "Why?" ”

Lu Jianxing lowered his voice and said: "I know it's dangerous, but in the same way, this is also our chance - third brother, don't blame the eldest brother for speaking badly, haven't you had enough of this nest of days?" ”

"We have no money, no way, if we want to be promoted, we rely on this opportunity, and now this opportunity has been placed in front of us, no matter what the real situation is, as long as we catch it, we can turn over!"

Jin Yichuan and Shen Lian glanced at each other, both frowning and silent.

Lu Jianxing understood that his two brothers had been moved, so he hurriedly struck while the iron was hot.

"If there is really such a group of strongmen, let's quietly confirm Wei Zhongxian's situation, and then go back to Beijing to report, but if Wei Zhongxian directed and acted in this robbery, let's continue to chase after it until Wei Zhongxian is killed, anyway, now Wei Zhongxian's whereabouts are unknown, I'm afraid it will be difficult to escape death if I go back like this, it's better to fight, what do you say?"

“……”

Shen Lian looked at Lu Jianxing's expression, then at Jin Yichuan's face, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Okay, I'm going to call someone."

After speaking, Shen Lian was about to get up, but was pulled by Lu Jianxing.

"Don't!" Lu Jianxing hurriedly stopped, and then he glanced at the Jinyi guards in the convoy, and said in a low voice: "This errand falls on our brothers, there are already many people in the yamen who are red-eyed, and the hundred households are not happy, it is difficult to ensure that there are no stakes among our people, if we deliberately ruin our affairs......"

Shen Lian frowned and said, "You won't be afraid that your credit will be robbed by others, right?" You can't be fooled with this kind of thing! ”

Jin Yichuan suddenly said at this time: "I think it's okay, second brother, if it's really as you expected, then there will not be too many people around Wei Zhongxian, just the three of us brothers are enough to deal with it, the same way, if the second brother you guess wrong, then we will be as the eldest brother said, quietly lurking on the side to observe the situation, no need to do anything, in this way, there are more people but it is easy to be exposed." ”

Lu Jianxing immediately agreed: "Yichuan is right! I thought so too! ”

Shen Lian glanced at Jin Yichuan deeply, and after pondering, he finally nodded.

Jin Yichuan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, but he still had some drums in his heart.

The robbery and killing of Wei Zhongxian in broad daylight on the official road outside the city was temporarily discussed by Zhao Lihe and Lin Zhongtian, and he did not communicate with him, so he didn't know what the result would be if he and the others caught up?

But if he doesn't catch up and return to Beijing like this, I'm afraid that his two sworn brothers won't have any good fruit to eat.

It's better for the three brothers to catch up together, for the sake of his Jin Yichuan's face, even if he really meets Lin Zhongtian and others, it shouldn't really hurt the lives of his two righteous brothers.

"Let's catch up and take a look first, if you really meet Brother Zhao, then you can adapt to ......"

Jin Yichuan thought so in his heart, and walked out with Lu Jianxing and Shen Lian at the same time.

Lu Jianxing called all his Jinyi guards over and ordered them to guard the scene here, and then found three horses and chased them along the rutted trails with his two brothers.

Along the way, the surrounding situation can be described as corpses strewn everywhere, and rivers of blood flowed.

Each of the dead died in a manner similar to the corpses in the convoy.

The more they watched, the more frightened Lu Jianxing and Shen Lian became.

With their years of experience in handling cases, I am afraid that these corpses in front of them were all committed by one person.

Jin Yichuan knew better than they knew that these people should have been killed by Brother Zhao's sworn brother Fu Qingyun.

It's just that I didn't expect that this guy not only has outstanding swordsmanship, but also has reached the peak of marksmanship.

When it comes to killing people, it is not much weaker than those battlefield generals who have left their names in history.

After chasing to the place where the carriage overturned, Lu Jianxing and Shen Lian had to admit that the person who shot was indeed not something that the three brothers could deal with.

Shen Lian turned over and dismounted, carefully examining the traces around the carriage, simulating what happened not long ago in his mind, and finally looked at the blood stains on the curtains of the carriage, and sighed in a faint tone.

"I took back Fang Cai's words, it seems that there was indeed a group of strongmen who robbed and killed Wei Zhongxian before us."

"What about the corpses?"

"Maybe they were taken away, since this group of people dared to rob and kill Wei Zhongxian in broad daylight, they thought that they either had a blood feud with Wei Zhongxian and the eunuchs, or they wanted to use Wei Zhongxian to plan something, no matter which one it was, they would definitely not let him die so easily, let alone leave the body here."

Lu Jianxing frowned and said, "Then what should our brothers do, without Wei Zhongxian's corpse, it will be difficult for you and me to go back!" ”

Shen Lian sighed: "I can only report the matter to Shangguan one by one, I hope they can be light." ”

Lu Jianxing slammed his fist on the carriage and scolded angrily: "TMD! Why is our brother so unlucky, such a good errand fell on us, and it has become so tricky, does this thief point to honest people to bully?! ”

Shen Lian silently listened to him complain, and suddenly said, "Big brother, third brother, I have an idea." ”

Lu Jianxing paused, turned his head and said, "What's the idea?" ”

Shen Lian asked in a low voice, "Anyway, Wei Zhongxian was robbed by that gang of strongmen, so he shouldn't be able to live, right?" ”

Lu Jianxing frowned and said, "So what?" ”

Shen Lian hesitated for a moment or two, and said in a low voice: "Then we might as well forge a corpse of Wei Zhongxian and bring it back to the business." ”

Lu Jianxing was stunned when he heard this, and then shook his head with a wry smile: "It's not that simple, do you think that if you casually point to a corpse and say that he is Wei Zhongxian, those people above will believe it?" Not to mention anything else, Wei Zhongxian has the brand of the commander of the East Factory on his body, and he can only prove his identity when he gets that brand. ”

As soon as these words came out, Lu Jianxing and Shen Lian fell silent.

At this moment, Jin Yichuan's slightly strange voice came from the overturned carriage next to him.

"Big brother, second brother."

"What's wrong, third brother?"

"The brand you're talking about, but this?"

As he spoke, Jin Yichuan poked his head out of the car window, holding a jade plate in his hand, which was impressively engraved with five big characters-

"Admiral Dongchang Wei"
