Ling Hurong immediately took the two servants Heli is leaving, Yang Xuefu is reluctant to go back to the city, to follow Yang Zhi to investigate; it is already summer, at noon, the sun is poisonous, the earth dogs are hiding in a cool place, Yang Zhi and the two came out in plain clothes, pretending to be a pair of brothers and sisters, and walked to Lunangang. Lunangang is a large mound, the two walked more than ten miles of path, only to meet a woodcutter chopping wood, dark face, a large tumor on the head, thick eyebrows, bare arms, the muscles on the big pen are high and bulging.

Yang Zhi stepped forward to explain his identity, and asked with a smile, "What do you call your brother?"

"Zou Run, what's the matter, you hurry up, I have something to do when I go back!" Zou Run was a little impatient, these officials were already annoying, and they stopped themselves on a hot day, and Ou Peng was even more unhappy; Zou Run directly took out five taels of silver and handed it to Ou Peng and asked, "Unicorn Dragon Zou Run?"

Zou Run took the silver, and his face looked much better: "Once in a fight, I broke a tree, and the nearby villagers called me that. ”

Yang Zhi smiled and said, "I'm Yang Zhi, the blue-faced beast, do you know that someone robbed the Liao State Mission that day?"

"You are the blue-faced beast Yang Zhi. Perhaps Yang Zhi's current reputation is too prosperous, Zou Run is obviously much more careful, nodded and said: "I have heard that in the first few days of the accident, I met officials almost every day, and asked me if I met anyone, but I really didn't see anything." ”

Yang Zhi pulled Zou Run to the shade under the tree, helped Zou Run unload the bundle of firewood and said: "The other party is secretive, how can it be so easy to see, what I want to ask is, you are chopping firewood in the mountains and forests, have you found something different from usual, such as beautiful women, luxury carriages that have not been seen before, trampling on crops and other things." ”

Yang Xuefu followed behind Yang Zhi, carefully pondering the meaning of Yang Zhi's words, Zou Run loosened his arm, thought carefully and said, "There are really two such incidents, but I didn't see them, I heard them." One is the front of the Yan family garden two days ago out of two small sedan chairs, the sedan chair is the kind of small sedan chair that a woman sits, but the sedan chair driver is very difficult to lift; the other is the west side of the top of the Wang Village, the day before yesterday, there was a mad dog biting people, a dog watching the yard suddenly went crazy, the owner was bitten to death. ”

Yang Zhi handed over another five taels of silver and asked, "Who told you that?"

"My uncle Zou Yuan. ”

This time, even Yang Xuefu knew who Zou Run was talking about, although Zou Yuan, who was out of the forest, was not a Jiangyang thief, but he was the number one person in Bianliang North, and he was also registered in Gutong Garden, Zou Yuan killed cattle and gambled, helped some temples collect debts, and there was nothing he didn't dare to do; Yang Zhi thought for a while and said to Zou Run: "You go to your uncle, invite him to Chen Qiaomen for questioning tomorrow, and I will give you ten taels of silver for each of you." ”

Zou Run hurriedly said: "Yang Zhutou, don't worry, I will definitely find my uncle tomorrow." ”

Zou Run told Yang Zhi how to go to Yanjia Garden and Wang Village, picked up the bundle of firewood, and walked quickly; Yang Xuefu said dissatisfiedly: "Yang Zhutou, you are really rich, just ask about these things, and I am afraid that he will not say it." ”

Yang Zhi naturally wouldn't tell Yang Xuefu that he wanted to recruit Zou Yuan's uncle and nephew, so he smiled and said: "The wealth is moving, if you don't give money Zou Run may say, maybe he won't say it, let alone Zou Yuan dragged it in." What we lack most now is time, hurry up and go to Yanjia Garden first. ”

The two of them only walked five miles to see the Yan family garden that Zou Run said, it was noon at the moment, the sun was shining, the sky was blue, and there was a cool breeze on the hill, and the villagers below were probably roasted by the sun, and there was no figure on the more than a dozen winding paths. As far as the eye can see, there are more than a dozen gardens that are stretched together, and from a high place, the pavilions and ponds are covered, and the red flowers and green leaves are in pieces.

Yanjia Garden is the third one after going downhill, there is a path to the entrance of the garden, the path is lined with seedlings of less than two meters, the new green and verdant, at a glance is the traces of artificial planting; The door to the garden was locked, and there was no gatekeeper in sight, but a fire-like red apricot sticking out of the courtyard.

Yang Zhi and the two sat down under the old elm tree, hiding in the shade to rest, Yang Xuefu comfortably put her legs flat on the ground and said: "These gardens are all owned by the officials and wealthy merchants of Bianliang City, and every spring, these gardens are open to the outside world for people to enjoy the spring; ”

Yang Zhi looked around, shook his head and said: "There will be no one to take care of, what if someone turns into the garden and moves away precious flowers and trees or rockery, do you see, in order to respond to the scenery, the doors of these houses are all carved wooden doors or bamboo doors, can you rest assured that no one is here to watch? Rest for a while, if no one has passed in and out, I will go directly to knock on the door." ”

Yang Xuefu took out the water bladder and took turns drinking a few sips of water with Yang Zhi, Yang Zhi put down the water bladder and walked to the bamboo door with a strong quaint atmosphere; Yang Zhiyun knocked on the bamboo door with internal force, and the knock on the door came more than ten meters away, which startled Yang Xuefu. Yang Zhi could see clearly from the gap in the bamboo door, a person stood up in the grass under the shade of the trees in the garden, wearing a suit of clothes, and the broken grass clippings were stained on the clothes, and he shouted from afar: "What are you doing?"

"Yan's Garden, I'm investigating the case from the Criminal Department. Yang Zhi didn't want to be a fox and a tiger, but Yang Zhi knew that if he didn't say it, this subordinate who thought he was superior would immediately put on a face to show himself; ”

Yang Zhi flashed his waist card and said: "I am the chief arrester of the Criminal Department, and I have the power to investigate this garden, no matter who your master is, it has nothing to do with me investigating the case." Say, what's your name?"

Yang Zhi's tone was not good, and the family Ding glanced at Yang Zhi cautiously and said, "The little one is called Yan Ding." ”

Yang Zhi pointed to the door and said, "Open the door." ”

Yang Zhi's gaze was so sharp that it pierced people's hearts, Yan Ding only felt that he didn't dare to resist, and opened the door carefully, Yang Zhi slowly paced in, and asked in a deep voice: "Did two small sedan chairs go out of the garden a few days ago, and who are the people in the sedan chairs?"

"The Yan family. Yan Ding was relieved when he heard this, but he might not be used to talking in the noon sun, Yan Ding subconsciously moved towards the shadow of the gate; as long as he admitted that there were two small sedan chairs, Yang Zhi said meaningfully: "Isn't there a mistake? Are those two small sedan chairs from the Yan family, or are they rented?"

Yan Ding said with a little jealousy: "I don't know, the official master, I am just a gatekeeper, who asked about those things." ”

Yang Zhi looked at Yan Ding for a while, turned around and called Yang Xuefu, and asked Yang Xuefu to take Yan Ding to the octagonal pavilion twenty meters away in the park to make a record, and he took the opportunity to watch the terrain near the octagonal pavilion; Yan Ding was taken aside by Yang Xuefu, and he couldn't stop Yang Zhi at all, and watched Yang Zhi walk around. Hearing that the family members are Yan Xiaomei, the sister of Yan Fu, a member of the household department, and Tong Jiaoxiu, Yan Xiaomei's best friend, Yang Zhi can only feel that this world is really small, and clues are also very important.

Tong Jiaoxiu had just had an accident, and now she is afraid that it is 10,000 careful to go out, how could she run outside the city on such a hot day without a single guard and mother-in-law; Yang Zhi asked the address of Yan Fu, a member of the household department, in Bianliang City, and immediately returned to Bianliang City, but Yang Zhi played a small trick and discussed with Confucius Sun Ding of Kaifeng Mansion, put himself behind the scenes, and let Kaifeng Mansion routinely ask Yan Fu and Yan Xiaomei.

Yan Fu didn't know anything, but Yan Xiaomei was deceived by Sun Ding in a few words, and told the truth, she didn't know if that person was Tong Jiaoxiu, the person was sent by Jiang Menshen, a guard of Tong's mansion, because she didn't know who lost a big box, Tong Jiaoxiu had to put it in a sedan chair and take it away. Sun Ding hesitated a little, Jiang Menshen was originally in Mengzhou Happy Forest, and after coming to Bianliang, he specially handled some things that could not be put on the table for the Tong family; Jiang Menshen's notoriety spread throughout the city in a short period of time, and both black and white knew that Jiang Menshen had a violent temperament and had good means.

Sun Ding asked carefully again, and made sure that what Yan Xiaomei and the Yan family's family saw was Jiang Menshen, and everything was clear in their hearts; Sun Ding didn't even tell the Criminal Department, so he directly reported the case to Liang Zimei, who had just taken office. Liang Zimei was so frightened that she couldn't speak, Liang Zimei had been in the sea for decades, and the city still had this, but I heard that it was the file transferred by Gu Tongyuan, Liang Zimei didn't know whether someone had dug a trap and waited for him to jump down, or was waiting for him to remove the case.

Liang Zimei slowly read the dossier, and after thinking for a long time, she asked Sun Ding: "Yang Zhi didn't say why he investigated this matter?"

Sun Ding said unhurriedly: "Yang Zhutou said, Miss Tong came out with a large number of people to follow, and the sedan chair should be a special sedan chair or carriage for the Tong Mansion, so I want to check if this matter is true?"

Liang Zimei felt a huge pressure, these guys didn't play cards according to common sense, and it was easy for the boss to carry the black pot, Liang Zimei said with a gloomy face: "Sun Ding, if this case is a case from Kaifeng Mansion, don't let the Criminal Department interfere, or transfer the entire case to the Criminal Department, so as not to solve the case in the end, and everyone will pass the buck to each other." Our responsibilities are different from those of Gutongyuan, there is no bitter master, no plaintiff, how to go through the process. ”

Sun Dingding nodded and said: "Since my lord said so, I will return all the relevant things to Gu Tong Yuan." ”

Sun Ding took back the file and went to Gu Tong Garden, Liang Zimei was still a little unsure, from the perspective of Gu Tong Yuan's duties, he was qualified to ask Kaifeng Mansion for assistance, and Yang Zhi investigated the case of the attack on the Liao State Mission; Liang Zimei suddenly understood, slapped on the table, knowing that he wanted to go wrong, Yang Zhi actually wanted Kaifeng Mansion not to intervene, so that all the relevant clues could be gathered in Gu Tong Garden.
