Yang Zhi understood, Song Huizong's whereabouts were uncertain, Du Wanche was not looking for Song Huizong in general, but the person in charge of the market, the original eunuch Yang Jian, and the current eunuch He Su; Gu Tongyuan is equivalent to an institution hanging under the criminal department in the market, so it has the power and freedom that ordinary departments do not have, and even the criminal department of the higher department can only supervise, and cannot know, no wonder the position of the chief catcher makes people feel unusual.

Since this is the case, Yang Zhi immediately began to review the file; the original on-site investigation was done by Sheng Yuyi, and when he heard that Yang Zhi began to take over, Sheng Yuyi put down the case at hand to see how Yang Zhi, the chief catcher, was going to operate. After Yang Zhi finished reading Sheng Yuyi's inquiry report, Yang Zhi immediately sent people to ask every Song official and soldier present at the time to make a description of the process. Whether it is a person from the Ministry of Rites or a person from the Golden Gun Class, Yang Zhi sends someone to inform, but Yang Zhi is very reasonable, those who can write their own experience do not need to come to Gu Tong Garden, just let the messenger bring it back after writing;

Yang Zhi is the chief catcher, and he is still in charge of six catchers, all of whom were transferred by Yang Zhi tonight; Sheng Yu nodded, after so much time, it was impossible for Yang Zhi to see the original scene, so he could only find another way to restore the scene from the testimony. When solving the case, there are many clues that are not found directly at the scene, but the clues that the person who solves the case sorted out in a large pile of documents.

Sheng Yu and his family have done a lot of work a few days ago, the Wuli Road outside the Chenqiao Gate is still blocked, when the scene was searched, even the donkey cart was not spared, but no hidden people were found on the ground, all the vehicles were fine, and several people disappeared out of thin air. Yang Zhi compared the records one by one, and didn't find a place to squint for a while until dawn.

After a year in Liao, Yang Zhi knew that what he needed most now was to keep himself energetic, and once his body was exhausted and he was in a state of excitement, he would probably not be able to think about it somewhere. Yang Zhi woke up and washed his face with cold water, ate two steamed buns in the canteen, and then continued to work.

Shen Chong ate a bowl of shredded chicken noodles, entered the office and asked, "Are there any new discoveries?"

Yang Zhi raised his head in the file and said: "There are no new discoveries, Master Sheng is right, those people are too fast, but I just think that the five masters who died don't seem to have come for money, because when they pinned down the pursuers, they didn't think about retreating at all, they all fought to the death." We may not have the energy to investigate, we can confirm the identity and hand it over to the local government, but our energy should still be on Kaifeng Prefecture, since the Liao people can get the news, it means that they are very close to Tongyi and those people. ”

Yang Zhi stayed in the ancient Tong Garden for one night, as soon as the sky was bright, Yang Zhi mobilized Yang Xuefu, Ling Hurong and six servants to set off; the sun had just risen above the sky, Yang Zhi had already taken Yang Xuefu and Ling Hurong to Chenqiaomen, the three of them all rode horses, dismounted in front of Chenqiaomen, the morning light of Bianliang seemed to be only the dew on the leaves and the soft warmth in the birdsong in Chenqiaomen, not at all like other city gates, or the majesty of the royal family, or the prosperity of the prosperous times.

After Yang Zhi showed the waist card, the soldiers guarding the city opened the city gate; Yang Zhi did not panic out of the city, but climbed the city tower and overlooked, Chen Qiao post is near the Yellow River, straight to Bianliang, and the nearest two intersections are Chen Qiao Gate and Fengqiu Gate, when Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin Chen Qiao mutiny, the first choice was Chen Qiao Gate, but the guard of Chen Qiao Gate categorically rejected Zhao Kuangyin's request, so that Zhao Kuangyin's army had to turn to Fengqiu Gate to enter the city.

Standing on the tall city wall, Yang Zhi could almost see the range of twenty miles, as the document said, except for a dozen small villages, they were all farmland and wasteland. Ling Hurong pointed to the fluttering flags and said: "Kaifeng Mansion and the forbidden army are still sending people to guard the villages and various intersections of the road, but no one believes that these things are still effective, and only think that it is an explanation to the Liao State Mission, which shows that we attach importance to this issue." ”

Gu Tongyuan actually sent a large number of people, Sheng Yuyi personally came four times, but still did not find any useful clues; Sheng Yuyi was a little unwilling, but fortunately, Yang Zhi came back, and on the first night of returning to Bianliang, he wanted to investigate the case, and Sheng Yuyi happily agreed to transfer the case. Yang Zhi looked at the Jinshui River in the northwest direction, the Jinshui River is a tributary of the Bianhe River, and the embankments on both sides of the bank are built.

Ling Hurong also saw Jinshuihe, shook his head and said: "At that time, there were soldiers standing at the head of the city, and they kept staring at the figures of the fleeing people, and saw them rushing into Liu Village, the houses and population of Liu Village are not large, Kaifeng Mansion and we checked seven or eight times, but we did not find it. What Sheng Daren suspected was the stone village behind Liu Village, where there was a stream leading to Lunangang, which could directly reach the official road to the west on the other side. ”

Yang Zhi is a native of Bianliang, and he thought for a while and said: "Master Sheng's suspicion is reasonable, there are many private gardens between Lunangang and Zhuanlongwan, which is just convenient for hiding, but at that time there were masters from the Liao and Song dynasties, and of course the suspect would not act in broad daylight, he should have been hiding somewhere for two or three days, and then find a night to transfer." It's time for us to check it out. ”

Yang Zhi was cautious, and used the waist card to mobilize six archers to accompany him, fortunately, the distance is not too far, ten miles away, whether there is a horse or not is not a big problem; because it is a clue designated by the forbidden army, Liu Village in addition to Lizheng, also arranged three officials of Kaifeng Mansion, after Yang Zhi arrived, let more than 100 villagers, all find the village head of the drying field.

The rising sun shone on Liu Village, not warm, but vicious, Yang Zhi stood under the big locust tree in the drying field, carefully looked at the crowd of people who kept muttering, most of the people were shouting from the field, their faces were tired, but the liver fire was very strong; at the feet of the Son of Heaven, these people all boasted that they had seen the world, more than 100 people were not wood, nor chess pieces, and they would not wait quietly, at least to express their dissatisfaction and demands in private. Li Zheng nodded and walked over and said, "Yang Zhutou, except for the six people who went to the city, everyone else is here." ”

Yang Zhi looked around the crowd and asked Li Zheng casually: "Are there any people who have moved in recent years?"
