In the back hall, after the tea leaf fell out of the teacup, no one spoke.

Chen Renhai knew that the enemy that Long Xiangtian and the others faced was the most vicious. From the injuries on Long Xiangtian's body, it can be seen that the price he paid was the greatest among them. After a while, Leng Jue said: "It took us a long time to catch Yu Qing and the others, but they fought with us like a desperate person. Later, we fell for their tricks, and they besieged a deserted village, causing them to raise yellow sand again, and attacked us with poison in the method of controlling sand. Although the soldiers had taken the water to resist the poison, many of them still could not withstand the wind and sand, and as soon as the wind and sand passed, they killed us in groups......

Long Xiangtian interrupted Leng Jie's words and said: "The brothers died in the wind and sand and the weapon fight, and the remaining eight brothers were also deeply poisoned at this time, and they were all placed in the hospital by us.

Chen Renhai said at this time: "Brother Long, Brother Leng, you have suffered...... Now all the sinners have been prostrateged, and the brothers have seen it in heaven, and the spirit of heaven can rest in peace. ”

Li Defei said: "This yellow elephant has now been wiped out, only the two people in the prison remain, and the Han pile that broke half of his body, and related to this, there is General Zhou." We should write to the emperor, listen to the emperor's will, and see what the emperor does with them. ”

"General Zhou's family and the couple's children all died at the hands of the Yellow Weevil, and we haven't told them yet. They have all been threatened by these gangsters, and now they have lost their relatives, how can we tell them?" Li Defei said.

Wei Gong said fairly: "My lords, according to the old slave's opinion, General Zhou should be punished, and the same is true for the couple. ”

"Gonggong Wei wants to repeat the law field of Dongting Mansion again?"

Wei Gong said fairly: "What does Lord Long mean by this? General Zhou fornicated with the Yellow Elephant Armor and almost assassinated all the people in the desert, and the couple took in the Yellow Elephant Armor and secretly hid the rebels, and these should be punished according to the law." And the matter of Dongting is the emperor's holy decree, why did it come to the old slave?"

Chen Renhai said: "Although we are the chief of the case, but we can't easily judge their guilt, this case involves a lot of people, in addition to those people, there are also a few people who we captured alive, these people must be punished according to the law, we need to measure their guilt first, and give it to the emperor in a letter to decide." ”

Li Defei nodded and said, "What about the couple and General Zhou?"

"So far, I can only talk about it all. Chen Renhai said.

"But who can say such words? General Zhou misses his wife and children so much in his letters, what is the difference between telling him this bad news and killing him? General Zhou is a fierce general in the Ganliang army, and his guilt can be mitigated...... Li Defei said.

Chen Renhai said: "I can't hide such a thing, so let me tell them everything" After that, Chen Renhai got up and walked out of the back hall.

Long Xiangtian immediately got up as well, "The matter of the dossier, there is also Brother Lao Li." ”

Li Defei said: "Brother Long is injured, so it's good that the dossier is written by Li and Brother Chen." Brother Long can rest assured that he will recuperate."

Long Xiangtian said: "Leng Du, you go to the hospital first to recuperate with the brothers who are recuperating from their injuries." You have also suffered internal injuries in the past few days, and the residual poison in your body has not been cleared, and you don't need to take care of the affairs of the government in the past few days. Heal yourself. ”

Leng said: "Dragon Commander, the poison in your body has not been cleaned up, and your injuries still need to be ......."

Long Xiangtian interrupted Leng Jie's words and said, "Even if you go to the hospital, there are so many people here, everyone can take care of each other, and Yuwen Feng is still in the mansion, if I am really sick, I will look for him." ”

He didn't reply after such a cold decision, and not long after Long Xiangtian walked out of the back hall, he said goodbye to Li De and flew out of the back hall. Seeing that Leng Jue didn't look at him at all, Gonggong Wei was a little unhappy in his heart, and his face showed some gloom. When he was young, Gonggong Wei got up and said: "Lord Li is here to slowly and carefully write the dossier, today's case is over, but there are some stubs that need to be dealt with, and the old slave will write a letter to the emperor again, which will be counted as tomorrow." ”

Li Defei didn't look up at Grandpa Wei, but only said "Grandpa Wei, please" while writing and tidying up. Seeing this, although Gonggong Wei was full of smiles, but the smiling face was extremely ugly, he squeezed out a few words from the root of his teeth, and after talking about his respect for his rank, he went directly out of the back hall.

After noon, Ganliang Mansion had returned to its former calm, and the guards in the city returned to what it should have been in peacetime. On the house where the night had been fought, the couple sat at the table as if they had lost their souls, and their eyes were completely gone. Chen Renhai stood aside, he knew that if he told them such bad news, he would definitely usher in such an ending.

The loss of a parent is painful. Chen Renhai naturally didn't understand this kind of pain, but the demeanor of the two people in front of him, he could naturally understand that in the past few days, there were a lot of family letters in the official post that had piled up. More than two months have passed since the Spring Festival, and it has been almost two months since he returned to the palace from Chenjiabao.

Looking at the two soulless people in front of him, he seemed to see the appearance of his parents, brothers and grandmother when something happened to him. From the day Chen Jiabao came out, the rivers and lakes he fell into were much more vicious than others as Mei Jin said. If there was no Wei Lian Mink to help, he would have died at the hands of the enemy before he reached Longbi Pass, and when he arrived in the palace, he felt that he would be much better in the rivers and lakes. But in his official position, he has to face the rivers and lakes, that is, the officialdom, which is a more dangerous area than others.

After he informed General Zhou, General Zhou was only sneering, and he kept asking Chen Renhai repeatedly

Whether or not that person was caught. Chen Renhai said that if he was caught, he would soon be punished according to the law, and General Zhou made a request to him to make himself the executioner who took the heads of those prisoners. Chen Renhai agreed, this was the only way for General Zhou to take revenge.

"Thank you...... Thank you, sir...... The humble house did not boil tea today, and there is this bad news in the family today...... The hospitality is not good, please forgive me" Tao Xiaodao.

Chen Renhai said: "Brother Tao, don't talk like this, it's our dereliction of duty and failure to keep Ling Lang." Here, I kneel down to apologize to Brother Tao and Sister-in-law Tao on behalf of me and all other officials."

After that, Chen Renhai bent his knees, and when he was about to kneel down, the two of them got up and coveted Chen Renhai left and right. Tao Xiaodao: "Don't be like this, don't be like this, don't be like this."

Tao Xiao continued: "The adults have done their best to exterminate the rebellious party, and we have heard it in the prison of the government office: all the adults investigated the case, and most of the deliberations were late at night, and they led troops to arrest the rebellious party in various states and counties, and some of the adults were seriously injured. How dare I blame the adults?"

After hearing this, Chen Renhai slowly got up and asked, "By the way, two." The corpse you were waiting to see was not the painter of the workshop, so who was the person you saw before?"

Wu Jia sighed and carefully said a few things about the person's appearance. After hearing this, Chen Renhai said: "Can you go to the government with me again, the person you said is still in the government." ”

After hearing what Chen Renhai said, the two of them nodded one after another, and Tao Xiao said, "My lord, can that person have anything to do with the murderer who killed my son?"

Chen Renhai nodded and said, "I'm afraid they know each other." You will know when you recognize me, and then you will be informed. ”

In the palace, the kitchen was preparing food, and I heard Governor Ma say that today is the day to close the case, so we should make dinner more sumptuous.

In Han Zhuan's room, he was facing these three people at this time: the couple, Chen Renhai.

Wu Jia carefully looked at his appearance, turned his head to Chen Renhai and said, "It's him, the painter in the studio in those days was him." ”

Chen Renhai said: "Han Zhu, can you explain? Why did this couple see you in the workshop instead of Qingyuan Painter?"

Han Zhu moved his neck, although his back could feel warm in the past few days, after the three daily dressings, his back had some sensations, but he still couldn't move. "Qingyuan Painter was killed by me and another member of the Shaxi Gang, and the Shaxi Gang had poisoned him by the method of controlling the sand, and I stabbed him in the back. The one-eyed man Mu Peng was a rebel in the Shaxi Gang, and he sneaked into the studio that night, and I moved with him. Han Zhuan said.

Chen Renhai continued to ask: "I think you have lived in Qingyuan Painter's house for a long time. ”

Han Zhu said: "The house was mine, it was Tiandao who invited Liu Nandong and gave him a lot of money to paint here, and after he painted for a few days, the leader of the Yellow Elephant Armor sent a message from the sect master, asking him to repeat the manuscript paper of the album a few times." After that, I closed the door and let him paint in secret. ”

Hearing what Han Zhu said, Chen Renhai fell into deep thought, although he saw the flaws of Tao Xiao and his wife that day, and saw that they had unspeakable secrets, after the four people in the prison secretly interrogated the couple, they learned that someone tied up their children and forced them to send some food to the opposite house every day, and on the designated day, that is, the night Liu Nandong was killed, cut the clotheslines of the two families, and then the people in the Heavenly Dao would release their children. Tao Xiao and his wife had no choice but to do so, they tried to report to the official, but before they could go out, they picked up their child's hair and a letter at the door of the house, in which the people of heaven told them that if they dared to report to the official again, they would send their child's head home.

In this way, Tao Xiao and his wife did this for a long time, but after that night, they were summoned to the public court by the government, and Chen Renhai and others saw that something strange and caught Han Zhu and others who met in Tao Xiao's house. Han Zhuan's confession only said where the yellow weevils were distributed, and Chen Renhai and others arrested people according to the confession, and Han Zhu did not tell Chen Renhai and others about the rest.

Chen Renhai said: "So in this case, you must know who killed their child?

Han Zhu propped up the chair and moved for a while before he said: "That person is indeed in the middle of us, and the one who tied the child was Mu Peng, and he asked the rebels of the Shaxi Gang to tie it up." After the rebellion of the Shaxi Gang brought the child back to Ganliang Mansion, Mu Peng asked them to go to the original stronghold quickly, in fact, Mu Peng asked them to explore the way first to see if there was anyone from the government who could catch them, and then I waited for Zhier to interrogate the couple, and then issued a notice that I knew that the government had convicted him, and I planned to stay here for a few days before making a decision, but I didn't expect ......"

Chen Renhai said: "Who harmed the child?"

"It's Lu Yuan, the one who was knocked down the building by you, and it was he who drowned the child in the water tank. Han Zhuan said.

After hearing this, Chen Renhai turned his head to Tao Xiao and his wife: "Brother Tao, sister-in-law Tao, the villain who harmed Linglang has been corrected by me. Subsequently, Chen Renhai informed Tao Xiao and his wife of the person's ineffective diagnosis and death. Wu Jia still had some anger in his eyes after hearing this, the kind of anger that would soon ignite. Wu Jia said: "My lord, is the Mu pendulum in his mouth still in the palace?"

"In. We will keep him in prison for the time being, and when I have been convicted of the crime, I will execute him. I think he can't escape the knife. Chen Renhai said.

Wu Jia said: "I want to see him, and I ask the adults to lead me to meet him." ”

Tao Xiao seemed to understand something at this time, and said, "My lord, please lead my husband and wife there." ”

Chen Renhai naturally knew what he was going to do, and said, "The two of you go to prison."

I also know what I want to do, and if you two really want to go, I will lead the way."

After that, Chen Renhai led the two to the prison, only to see Mu in the prison, his eyes had scabs, but the wrapped cloth cover was still in his injured eye. The chains had cut through his wrists, and the scars were red. The wound on his ankle was also worn out, and although there was no punishment for the past few days, the salt water remained greasy on his wound and did not recede, and the salt was still on his wound, and the pain was so painful for many days that the pain was relieved by the scabbing of the wound.

Chen Renhai said: "Mu Peng, look at who these two people are in front of you?"

Mu Peng raised his head and said, "It seems that the overall situation has been decided, and we and the yellow weevils have all died in the hands of Yu Er and others." The jailer was already hanging his head in the cell inside. You are waiting for a great deal, in just a few days, so many people in my Heavenly Dao Yellow Elephant Armor have died at the hands of You. ”

"If you do too much injustice in heaven, you will kill yourself, and now everyone has tasted the consequences, and you are naturally no exception," Chen Renhai said.

Wu Jia rushed into the cell at this time, Tao Xiao did the same, the two couples choked his neck, Wu Jia's tears burst out of the corners of his eyes, and scolded: "Beast, return my son's life"

The two fought against Mu Pen, Tao Xiao punched Mu Penang's face several times, Mu Pen's nose was beaten out of blood, Wu Jia's hand pinched his face fiercely, at this time Mu Pen's face was already bloody and blurred, the two directly strangled his neck, their strength was great, Mu Peng was not breathing, and the hands on the handcuffs were swinging around. Seeing this, Chen Renhai stepped forward to seal the acupoints of the two of them, and then dragged the two out of the acupoints and solved their acupoints.

Wu Jia cried and shouted: "This beast in front of my adult eyes tied up my son and let people kill my son, I saw him today, why didn't you let me kill him" Wu Jia's shout was very poignant.

Tao Xiao also said: "My lord, this person has done a lot of evil, let my wife kill him in prison and avenge my son" After that, Tao Xiao wanted to rush to the prison again, Mu looked at Chen Renhai with a smile and said, "Hahahaha...... My lord, let them kill me, why are you stopping them here, hahahaha"

"Demon" Wu Jia shouted, and he also wanted to rush in, but was also caught by Chen Renhai. The two struggled desperately, and they wanted to go up and end up with this person they hated to the core. Although Chen Renhai used his internal strength, he didn't know where the strength of the two came from, and he couldn't grasp it. In this way, Chen Renhai could only take advantage of the situation to click on his acupoint, Chen Renhai entered the cell, and said: "I don't want them to kill you, because I don't want you to die too quietly."

With that, the jailer entered the door and carried the two out of the cell.

Subsequently, Chen Renhai also came out of the cell, and the man who never had any remorse before saying another word to Mu Pen, and even provoked himself before he died. Apart from this, there is no fear in front of the people he has harmed, such people are terrifying. Since then, the anger in Chen Renhai's heart has also ignited, but reason has temporarily suppressed him, otherwise he would have let the gang couple kill him there.

Li Defei and Chen Renhai wrote the dossier overnight, although the dinner was sumptuous, but Long Xiangtian, Bai Yang and Leng Jue all ate some casually and went back to the room to rest, Chen Renhai and Li Defei also had a dossier to write, so the dinner did not last long.

The rest of the days were only waiting, Long Xiangtian's injuries were improving, and Leng Jue also healed the surviving soldiers in the medical hall. Of the eight soldiers, three were from Ouchi and five were from the Ganliang Army. After the eight people were cured, Sergeant Ganliang returned to the Eastern Route Army, and the three returned to the inn under the official post, where the remaining guards of Ouchi lived.

It is only said that on this day, the Iron Dragon Banner Order came to deliver the decree to the king of Zhenbei.

As soon as the Iron Dragon Banner Order came out, the King of Zhenbei took out the holy decree, and all the people in the inner house, Gonggong Wei and the rest of the officials in the Ganliang Mansion went to the courtyard to kneel down and receive the decree.

The king of Zhenbei opened the holy decree and read: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said: It took many days for the officials of the Great Inner to finally crack the case of the chaotic party in the northwest and disturbing the government, which is a double happiness for my government." I have read the case file written by the commander of the Great Interior, and I will now inform all the officials of the punishment: the rebellion of the Shaxi Gang and the rebellion of the Yellow Weevil of the Heavenly Dao will be executed; the Tao couple and General Zhou will not be held accountable because they are persecuted by the people of the Heavenly Dao; and the Yellow Elephant Armor of the Heavenly Dao Han Pile, because he abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, he was spared one of his deaths and changed to the assassination and the Hui Division. Chin this"

The four commanders received the order, and then everyone went to the back hall together. This kind of sentence is more acceptable to them than when they were in Dongting Mansion, and they want to come to the palace this time no one is secretly obstructing.

King Zhenbei said in the back hall: "Zhou Ze, I have suffered you for so long. ”

After hearing this, General Zhou immediately cried and said to the king of Zhenbei: "The prince's subordinates have disappointed you" and was about to kneel, and the king of Zhenbei immediately helped him up and said: "General Zhou doesn't have to be like this, don't be like this"

After General Zhou got up, he sat back in the chair with a trembling body, and the king of Zhenbei said: "Back then, you and this king fought the enemy in the northwest together, and the Ganliang army defeated the northwest rebels one after another, and they were defeated. After nearly two years of fighting, I saw my wife for a few days, and then changed the garrison, so I was poisoned by the gangsters......"

"The last general is grateful to the emperor for not counting the crimes of the last general, and he will definitely do his best for my court, and he will die" General Zhou's eyes were filled with tears at this time, these tears had the pain of losing his wife and children, and the gratitude of the court and his rebirth.

King Zhenbei continued: "The Great Inner Commanders really have the ability, and the people of the two Great Inner Roads will be sent together, the Red Tiger Armor of the Southeast Heavenly Dao, and the Yellow Elephant Armor of the Northwest Heavenly Dao will all be exterminated. What kind of heavenly way, young people, still dare to offend me Chaotian Governor Ma, quickly arrange the law field, and behead those villains at noon tomorrow. ”

Governor Ma said: "The lower officials obey the order"
