Chapter 103: A Strange Palm

Xue Libao walked in, Yang Zhi quietly instructed Xue Libao to heat up the dishes and buy two jars of good wine, before turning around and asking Murong Yuan: "The other party has made such a big move, from the prison to the outside of the city, even if Miao Tuhu escapes, there will not be no clues, right?"

Yang Zhi was still interested in this case, Murong Yuan was happy in his heart, but he didn't reveal it: "Miao Tuhu himself has no family members, he only takes a small prison on weekdays, Mu Longsan, when Miao Tuhu was escaping, Mu Longsan was sent to deliver a letter to contain others, and we caught him after the incident, if General Yang is interested, you can come to the governor's mansion tomorrow, and I will bring it up for you to see." ”

Yang Zhi understood as soon as he heard that Miao Tuhu was either dead or an outcast, otherwise according to Murong Yuan's methods, I am afraid that he would have asked for something and closed the net in Zhongjing Dao. Yang Zhi didn't want to cause this trouble, so he pondered for a long time and asked directly: "There are no clues at all in other places?"

Murong Yuan was not disappointed when he saw this situation, if Yang Zhi was greedy for merit or crashed into the case, Murong Yuan would have to worry about whether Yang Zhi had another purpose, and now it seems that Yang Zhi sincerely wants to help him solve the case. Murong Yuan smiled and said: "It's because there is no clue at all, I am unwilling, speaking of victory and defeat is a common thing in soldiers, you can't judge heroes by temporary gains and losses, isn't this just looking for you to help?"

Yang Zhi nodded in greeting: "It seems that Brother Murong has a clue, otherwise it wouldn't have taken such a big setback." ”

Yang Zhi and Murong Yuan both subconsciously changed their names for each other, just to establish trust between each other, so as not to be exhausted when talking about the specific facts of the case; Murong Yuan gave Yang Zhi a thumbs up in his heart, and still smiled on his face: "Miao Tuhu is not a cold-blooded person, so when he had to do it, he still left two living mouths; thanks to the Dasen Zen Master of Tianxiong Temple, there was a life-saving elixir, and the two people were seriously injured but did not die, we drew portraits according to the people they saw, and among the people who came to answer was Brother Yang's old acquaintance Wang Bolong." ”

Yang Zhi nodded and praised: "Brother Murong is quick to talk and happy." However, according to the current time, Wang Bolong had already fled with Monk Ma, Brother Murong's thoughts, are there those who haven't escaped yet?"

Yang Zhi estimated that Murong Yuan found clues from the portrait, and it was likely that there were people who knew the government, Murong Yuan really smiled and said: "It's a pity that that person has been missing for a long time, it is a person from Mingjian Hall, called Kuaidao Ye Chengbin, Mingjian Hall is a killer organization in Liaodong, specializing in collecting money for the powerful to do things, and the price of Kuaidao Ye Chengbin back then was three hundred taels of gold to kill a person." ”

Murong Yuan released a bait, as long as Yang Zhi is interested, he will step into the case little by little; for Murong Yuan's intentions, Yang Zhi is like watching the fire, Dading Mansion and the palace tent army have a potential competitive relationship, Dading Mansion naturally hopes that Yang Zhi will help solve the case on the one hand, and on the other hand, he hopes that Yang Zhi will take the initiative to join on his own initiative, and will not cause the palace tent army to grab credit. Yang Zhiyin smiled and said: "Brother Murong, why do you have to be so sloppy, as long as you promise me one condition, I can report to General Xiao Lira tomorrow and take a look at the file." ”

Yang Zhi still gave the decision to Xiao Lira, Murong Yuan originally knew that there would be no easy good things, Yang Zhi also participated, and added a glimmer of hope to solve the case, Murong Yuan smiled, and said: "What Brother Yang said is extremely true, I am hypocritical, I brought a portrait, Brother Yang might as well have a sneak peek." ”

After Murong Yuan finished speaking, he took out a pile of paper from his arms, which were four portraits and two pages of files, the file should have been copied by Murong Yuan himself, mainly focusing on the analysis of the case; Miao Tuhu led people to save people in disguise, but the only flaw was that the prison in Dading Mansion was too close to the patrol shop and the city gate, and Monk Ma left the prison in prisoner's clothes, only changing clothes in the patrol shop, pretending to be an official and going out of the city, Wang Bolong chose to kill, five dead and two wounded.

Xue Libao, Hong Rirong and Sha Jing came in with wine and food, steaming, Yang Zhi only needed a glass of wine, motioned for everyone to eat first, and looked at the file repeatedly. The two injured were Miao Tuhu's friends, one was cut by Miao Tuhu, and the other was when Wang Bolong was about to make up for a palm, but Miao Tuhu shouted to stop, and finally chose a life; Yang Zhi looked at it for a long time, stopped and drank half a glass of wine, and said: "How did the injured man named Jiang Yingtou know that Wang Bolong was going to make up for it, and Miao Tuhu didn't say much when he saved people, is Jiang Yingtou's kung fu very high?"

Murong Yuan was stunned, took the file and looked at it carefully, recalled it and said: "It's just a veteran, Brother Yang, you really have a way, Jiang Yingtou was injured by Wang Bolong's punch, even if Wang Bolong wants to kill him, his first reaction should be a fist or a weapon, unless he knows that Wang Bolong's killer weapon is in the palm of his hand." ”

How could an irrelevant person know that Wang Bolong's stunt was in the palm of his hand, Jiang Yingtou could know this, even if he was not Wang Bolong's accomplice, he had concealed the inside information from the government. Murong Yuan immediately made a decision, left the file for Yang Zhi to read slowly, and hurriedly said goodbye and left; the next morning, news came that Jiang Yingtou was Miao Tuhu's accomplice, Jiang Yingtou confessed, and a large amount of gold and silver was found in Jiang Yingtou's house.

Dading Mansion dug up Jiang Yingtou, and there was no big breakthrough in the case, because no one contacted Jiang Yingtou, and the emergency plan left for Jiang Yingtou was in an inconspicuous alley, there was a dead mailbox to deliver news, as long as Jiang Yingtou put a piece of jade pendant left by Miao Tuhu behind a moving green brick, someone would come to Jiang Yingtou.

The alley is called the third alley, it is a dead alley, away from the street, and few people usually walk, Murong Yuan can be sure that no one will come to see if there is something behind the green bricks every day, there is only one possibility, that person knows Jiang Yingtou, and when he sees Jiang Yingtou entering the third lane, he will go to see if the green bricks have been passive. Murong Yuan's investigation targets were the residents of the third lane and several shops at the entrance of the alley, but the investigation was inconclusive for several days.

Dading Mansion's action was also very fast, an official document was sent to the palace tent army, requesting that Yang Zhi be transferred to assist in handling the case, Xiao Lili approved it very happily, this case was known from top to bottom, and it could not be shirked; Yang Zhi received an order to take Xue Libao and Sha Jing to the arrest room of Dading Mansion, and came to the third lane with Murong Yuan.

Murong Yuan checked it all over, Yang Zhi didn't have much hope, and looked at the alley according to the usual practice, Yang Zhi only asked one question: "What is the situation on the other side of the wall of the third alley?"

Murong Yuan obviously considered this possibility, investigated the situation, looked at the tall building on the other side of the wall, and said: "Over there is the Xiao Mansion, Xiao Fengxian's second son, Xiao Yu's courtyard, Xiao Yu lives in the imperial city, and the courtyard is usually empty. ”
