Chapter 68: Barracks

Beiping, Beizhen Fusi;

Tang Jianqiu managed Zhao Prison as usual, and sent people to inspect and guard the suspicious person.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a machine, who makes him do the same but not exactly similar things every day.

Tang Jianqiu had long been accustomed to it, and he would naturally not be merciful to the prisoner who was full of evil.

Just as he was about to interrogate the prisoner, a brocade guard hurriedly came to report:

"Lord Tang, General Shen invites you to come over."

The lieutenant who came to report put on the most respectful side.

He owes himself and waits for Tang Jianqiu to give orders;

Tang Jianqiu's mind flashed with inspiration, he was no stranger to such a woman who was upright and decisive in killing.

"She's looking for me? But what happened? ”

Tang Jianqiu clearly remembered that she did send someone to find her during this time period in her previous life, but at that time, he didn't take it to heart, but instead asked Zhao Jingzhong to deal with this matter.

Of course, you can't act too ordinary, and if you say it's okay, you will be suspected.

The lieutenant replied with a fist, and he was very unbelieving: "It is said that Vice General Zhou committed suicide with a knife in the barracks, and now he is dead, General Shen asks you to go over and investigate." ”

"What! Commit suicide? ”

Tang Jianqiu stood up from his seat as soon as he "soared", his eyes were full of shock.

What Tang Jianqiu couldn't understand was that the deceased was a deputy general, not someone else.

If it was someone else, they might have believed it, but the person who died was the deputy general.

It is said that this person is strong in martial arts, how could he die in the barracks for no reason? It's just too weird.

"Okay, Ben Zhenfu will go over and take a look."

Tang Jianqiu decided to deal with it personally, and he couldn't be as stupid as he was in his previous life.

"My lord, I'll take you there." The captain on the side looked flattering, wanting to take this opportunity to attract Tang Jianqiu's attention.

Tang Jianqiu wore a red python robe and walked out of Beizhen Fusi.

Not long after, Tang Jianqiu led people to the Beijing camp in Beiping.

Speaking of this Beijing camp, the origin of which is worth mentioning, that is, from the early years of Hongwu, the world was set to train soldiers to defend the Beijing division, and the Beijing camp was placed.

After Chengzu Zhu Di succeeded to the throne, while obeying the old Hongwu system, he expanded the Beijing camp and increased the original 48 guards to 72 guards.

Since then, three battalions have been gradually set up: the Fifth Army Battalion, the Three Thousand Battalion, and the Shenji Battalion, which are collectively known as the Beijing Army or the Beijing Battalion.

The five military camps, namely the middle army, the left sentry, the right sentry, the left post, and the right sentry, were changed to the governor's office;

After coming to the barracks, Tang Jianqiu saw the female general, and did not hesitate to salute her with his fists.

"I've seen General Shen."

Tang Jianqiu's cold eyes were cold, and he looked at the woman who was as imposing as a rainbow and her hair was flying.

Shen Hongluan was like a frightened dragon, graceful like a dragon, holding a spear, guarding the barracks.

She was stunned, and then put on the majesty that a female general should have, and raised her hand to signal: "Lord Tang doesn't need to be polite. ”

"General Xie."

After saying that, Tang Jianqiu put down his fist-hugging hand, and several brocade guards behind him followed.

Tang Jianqiu's expression was serious, and then he looked at Shen Hongluan: "It is said that Vice General Zhou killed himself for no reason, I don't know why the general committed suicide?" ”

Shen Hongluan shook her head, if she knew her, she would naturally not be so distressed.

"I don't know this general, and I don't have any evidence in my hands, so I really don't understand why Vice General Zhou committed suicide."

Tang Jianqiu bowed down and said, "General Shen doesn't have to worry, please give me a little time in the next moment." ”

"Please."

Shen Hongluan made a gesture of please.

After that, Tang Jianqiu waved his hand and motioned for the surrounding Jinyi guards to investigate the deceased.

Tang Jianqiu circled around the corpse, and then squatted down in order to observe the wounds on the deceased's body.

The blade was stabbed into the chest from the front, and the deceased showed no signs of struggling, and the wound was the only one.

That's the weirdness of that;

Seeing the appearance of the corpse, Tang Jianqiu had already guessed seven or eight points, but at the moment, he was not fully sure of the proof, so he deduced:

"Back to General Shen, it seems that this is not accidental, although this person died under his own knife, he did not kill himself."

Tang Jianqiu got up as he spoke, and then looked at Shen Hongluan.

Hearing Tang Jianqiu say this, Shen Hongluan was a little curious.

Although Shen Hongluan had heard of Tang Jianqiu's prestige in this military camp, she was surprised that she could see at a glance whether the other party had committed suicide.

"Oh? How does Lord Tang know? ”

Tang Jianqiu took Shen Hongluan to review it together, then paced around, and explained the reason: "Judging from his fatal wound, you can judge the strength of the knife,

He should have been killed by a knife when he was caught off guard or had no resistance to do so. ”

The audience was shocked when these words came out, although they were martial arts practitioners, they didn't notice this, so it seems really ashamed.

"So he knows the murderer?"

Shen Hongluan made a bold guess, if he wasn't an acquaintance, how could he be killed without knowing it?

Tang Jianqiu just shook his head, it was difficult for him to settle down before the results were investigated.

"As for how the truth is not known for the time being, there is no real evidence to conclude at present, and the lower official uses the method of scrutiny, so the lower official thinks that the murderer should be a person in the camp."

Hearing this, Shen Hongluan's beautiful eyes flashed with a hint of puzzlement, and then asked Tang Jianqiu for advice: "How can you see it?" ”

"Dare to ask the general, how is Vice General Zhou's martial arts?"

Tang Jianqiu had never asked about those useless things, and the reason why he said this was to dig out the answer from Shen Hongluan's mouth.

In this regard, Shen Hongluan replied without hesitation: "It's not bad, his martial arts are not weak, and he can fight with General Ben for more than ten rounds." ”

Hearing this, Tang Jianqiu was even more surprised, he had an answer in his heart;

"In this case, he is also a fierce and extreme warrior, so can his subordinates defeat the lieutenant general?"

Shen Hongluan said: "There are not many people whose martial arts are higher than him, otherwise they would not become deputy generals." ”

"If it weren't for the fact that his martial arts were not much higher, the deputy general would never have been killed by someone without a defense."

Tang Jianqiu surprised the people around him with just one sentence, and the officers and soldiers in this battalion admired Tang Jianqiu even more.

At that time, they were also in such a hurry that they didn't think to go there, so it made sense.

Shen Hongluan was not stupid, and soon knew what was going on.

"General Ben understood."

After that, Tang Jianqiu asked another fatal question: "When the general learned of the death of the adjutant general, did he find out the number of officers and soldiers in the battalion after he arrived?" ”

Hearing this, Shen Hongluan looked at the deputy commander next to him.

The deputy commander understood instantly, considering that it might be that Shen Hongluan was not good at speaking as a woman, so he hugged his fists and replied.

"Back to Lord Tang, everyone was in the barracks at that time, and they never left, but there were a few people who rushed to the thatched toilet halfway, and after the soldiers went to the thatched house in the middle of the night, they saw Deputy General Zhou lying on the ground."

Tang Jianqiu pondered for a moment, and then spoke: "It seems that this person is very clever, he can still be so calm when he sneaks into this military camp to kill people, and can maintain his original appearance.

Perhaps this murderer is hiding in you and me. ”

"Lord Tang's research and judgment of the case is indeed unique, it is really a person who wakes up in a dream!" The people on the side woke up like a dream after hearing this, and seemed to be able to realize something.

"There are many subtleties in this that General Ben has overlooked, even if he is ranked from the third grade, he has no ability to handle cases with Lord Tang, and his eyes are not as meticulous as Lord Tang, which is really ashamed.

General Ben believes that this matter is still properly dealt with, but how to know who the murderer is? ”

This is the suspicion of the whole case, Shen Hongluan only wants to know who the person who killed her brother is, and he must not be allowed to go unpunished!

Even though he knew that it might be a little uncomfortable to say such a thing, Tang Jianqiu still said truthfully: "General Shen, Vice General Zhou is the commander of the camp, and the people who associate with him are extremely simple.

If no obvious motive for the crime can be discovered, there will be no clues to speak of, and the case may never be solved. ”

Shen Hongluan understood the meaning of Tang Jianqiu's words, and said with a little regret: "Even Lord Tang thinks this matter is difficult to handle? Who should General Ben turn to? ”

She didn't know who else she could trust besides Tang Jianqiu.

Tang Jianqiu put his hands behind his back, and then told Shen Hongluan the truth:

"General Shen, this town has handled cases for many years, and there are thousands of things of all sizes, and naturally there have been cases that cannot be solved, unless new evidence can be found."

Realizing that there was something missing, Tang Jianqiu added from it: "General Shen, the top priority now is to stabilize the morale of the army." ”

"General Ben understands, thank you Lord Tang!"

"General Shen is polite, the lower officials will definitely do their best."

Under Tang Jianqiu's gaze, Shen Hongluan walked out of the tent camp and gradually walked towards the place where the soldiers gathered.

When I saw the neatly arranged soldiers, the waves were magnificent, mighty, like a waterfall, unstoppable!

Shen Hongluan let out a coquettish shout: "Brothers! Last night, the deputy general was assassinated by spies in the camp and died heroically, and now the infantry is temporarily commanded by the deputy commander.

All brothers must be vigilant and trained! In the future, everyone will compete on the battlefield to kill the enemy bravely and avenge the deputy general, do you understand? ”

"Yes!"

The voices of the soldiers were like thunder, and they wore far, far away.

Tang Jianqiu didn't want to stay long, and walked to Shen Hongluan's side after walking out of the tent.

Look at the pretty woman again, looking forward to the brilliance.

The gestures are as graceful as the wind blowing the willows, and a flower is cold.

can't help but reminisce: learn the Xichuan Eight Formations, the mandarin duck holds the talisman in his sleeve, and the woman is willing to accept it, why should the general be a husband.

As if sensing that Tang Jianqiu was looking at him, Shen Hongluan raised his eyes to look at him, but found that his gaze was different from the past.

In the past, Tang Jianqiu looked at herself mostly impatient or indifferent, I don't know if it was an illusion, she always felt that Tang Jianqiu's eyes had become complicated.

Not just out of debt or something else, he always felt that Tang Jianqiu was a little different from the original, and he couldn't say what was different.

"I'm tired of Lord Tang today."

"General Shen doesn't have to be polite."

Tang Jianqiu treats everyone with a cold face that doesn't care about himself, and only treats the people around him a little better.

"Lord Tang still has to be careful about the people around him, since he has already sat in the position of the pacification envoy, he should understand that there will always be people who will covet your position.

Just like these brothers, they will obey me on the surface, but in fact, they have a lot of opinions about this general because of their status as a woman, and sometimes it is the people who trust you who will hurt you. ”

Shen Hongluan knew that it might be useless to say this, but she still wanted to tell Tang Jianqiu, so she could take precautions.

Tang Jianqiu couldn't listen to Shen Hongluan's words in his previous life, he only felt that it was unnecessary, and it wasn't until he was dying that he regretted not listening to her words at the beginning.

Some people really don't deserve to dig out their hearts and lungs, because they are just white-eyed wolves who can't be fed!

Tang Jianqiu bowed and hugged his fists, and said, "Thank you General Shen, Tang must keep it in mind!" ”

"Lord Tang, do you say it's because they don't accept me as a general, or do they just can't see a woman as a general!"

Shen Hongluan's willow eyebrows furrowed, and resentment flashed in his eyes, as if he had seen Tang Jianqiu's tragic death in his previous life.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Since ancient times, this has been the case, the status of men is great, the status of women in the Han Dynasty is the highest, and the overall status of women in my Ming Dynasty is not low, but they can't go out and walk around at will.

In their eyes, women only need to teach their husbands and children, reproduce offspring, and should not show their heads, especially not to become military attachΓ©s, the muscles all over their bodies are very indecent, and even if they do, it is difficult to convince the public. ”

What Tang Jianqiu said was just a criticism of those who always had the dregs of feudal thinking.

This is a constraint on women, and he always thinks that Shen Hongluan deserves a better fate.

"What kind of person does General Ben think of?"

Shen Hongluan was very curious, if one day she became a person who only knew how to shout and kill, would she dislike herself?

"All you have to know is that no matter what you look like, I'll marry you."

At that moment, the wind rose, blowing the hair of the two of them, and the two looked at each other, as if time had frozen in time, as if there were only two of them in this world.

The two of them looked at it in such a daze, as if they could see that the sky was old and the sea was dry and rotten.

For Shen Hongluan, he knows it very well.

There may be someone more suitable for her in this world, but he only wants her.

In this life, she is enough;

"Tang Jianqiu ......"

Shen Hongluan almost lost her mind, and it wasn't until today that she realized that Tang Jianqiu didn't hate herself as much as she imagined, but she was just not good at words;

However, I don't care about the relationship between my children and daughters, the case is important at the moment, and the cause of Vice Admiral Zhou's death should be investigated!
