Seventy-six episodes: Lonely Town Complex Case, Qianxing Enlightenment Mystery

Previous Chapter

The room was full of ordinary displays, and it was only a one-story building, with only one bedroom in it, and the door was hidden, but the whole room was silent at the moment.

Poplar didn't know how that moment happened, and the person in front of him was lifeless in the blink of an eye, which was nonsense at all. Poplar motioned to all the guards not to act rashly, and to leap into the house with his own light skills. At this moment, Poplar was in the middle of the room, and when he looked around, he didn't notice anything unusual. In this way, as soon as the sword on Bai Yang's waist was unsheathed, the sword qi piggybacking on the door of the bedroom was opened, but unfortunately the light inside was too dim to be seen clearly at the moment.

Drawing a fire fold, Poplar stepped into the bedroom, and opened the door of the bedroom with a sword, and there was no movement in the firelight. There was nothing special about this room except for the guards who fell face down in the room. Bai Yang went out of the room and said, "Send this brother back to the county government for an autopsy." You should lock this room, be careful of any noise inside, if there is anything abnormal, do not rush in, just record it and report it to the county government as soon as possible. ”

In this way, Poplar got on the horse and returned to the palace. It is only said that the number of people in this county government is scarce at the moment, and the couple and their daughter were escorted to the yamen by Li Defei, and the man entered the gate of the county government and said: "Thank you, my lord, but this government is the land of the official family, how can we and other grass people live here?"

Li Defei said with a smile: "Little brother, don't say this, you wait to go to the guest room with me first." In this way, the family led the way down to the guest room in the back garden, and for about a quarter of an hour, the couple placed their two daughters in the guest room, put some things in the guest room, and sat down to rest after being so busy. Li Defei said: "I haven't asked the name of the little brother's family yet." ”

"Back to the adult's words, Xiaomin's surname changed to Pengfei, Neizi Sikong's family, the eldest daughter's single name is Jing, and the youngest daughter has not yet been named. Yi Pengfei said.

Sikong whispered: "There is a milk name." ”

"The name of the milk is the name of the house, but it is a small name, it is not a name, and it is not rude to say that the name of the adult is the milk name?"

Li Defei said: "Brother Yi is serious, this milk name is the closest name for parents and children, why should it be related to etiquette." ”

"The little people should be damned, what the adults said is very true. Speaking of the child's milk name is not a rare object, the little girl is only called Meiyi, but according to the rules of the small ethnic family, the child needs to be full moon to be named. Yi Pengfei said.

Li Defei said: "I see, Brother Yi's family also belongs to Jingjiang Mansion?"

"It's not, the villain's ancestors are from the north, and a few of the great-grandfathers moved to Jiangning. The villain tried and failed repeatedly, and felt that his career was hopeless, so he came to Jingjiang Mansion to do some business. Yi Pengfei said.

"Oh, is there anyone else in Brother Yi's family?" Li Defei said.

"My sister also lives in Jingjiang Mansion, she married from afar, the villain's mother died early, and my father and father also passed away last year...... Yi Pengfei stopped talking.

Li Defei immediately opened his mouth and said, "Brother Yi, forgive me, I really don't know the current situation in Brother Yi's family, so it was an unintentional mistake to ask." ”

"What do adults say, it's just that the villain has encountered too many things recently, and when the little girl is born, I can't help but think of the things at home. Yi Pengfei said.

While talking, an attendant came to pass the word, and the attendant whispered to Li Defei, and Li Defei knew that something strange had happened in the town, and Bai Yang and King Jingjiang had already discussed in the back hall of the mansion. In this way, Li Defei responded, first asked the waiter to go out and wait, and then had an idea in his heart - when Li Defei was chatting with Yi Pengfei, he was thinking about how to tell Yi Pengfei not to go out, but now that this matter has come, there is still a reason.

Li Defei said: "Brother Yi, there was something wrong in that town just now, and when I was young, the prince of the government will invite our officials to discuss matters." What happened in the town was not trivial, and the prince ordered that this mansion be temporarily closed, and no one should enter or leave without the prince's order. But don't worry, Brother Yi, if Brother Yi needs anything, just tell me. ”

Yi Pengfei immediately replied: "The adults took the Xiaomin family to this mansion, so that the Xiaomin family had a place to live temporarily, and reduced a lot of expenses for the Xiaomin family. ”

Li Defei answered, and immediately left the guest room to go to the back hall of the palace to discuss matters, and when he was young, the chamberlain led Li Defei to the back hall, only to see that Bai Yang and King Jingjiang were already above the hall. Li Defei immediately stepped forward to pay a visit, Baiyang returned the salute, and after King Jingjiang signaled to be exempted, Li Defei informed King Jingjiang of the placement of Yi Pengfei's family. King Jingjiang said: "This is very good, they can move in the palace for a few days, but they are not allowed to leave the gate of the government until we find out the facts of the case, or have enough evidence to prove their innocence, and then release them from the palace." ”

Li Defei said: "I respectfully follow the edict of the prince, and the waiter who just passed the order said that there was an incident in the town, what happened?"

Bai Yang informed Bai Yang and King Jingjiang of what had happened to Fang Cai, "At present, the body has been sent to the cell for temporary shelf, but this government is now out of work, and this autopsy may still need to be ordered to be sent to the village, so that Duan Gan can come here." ”

It was only said that at this time, Gonggong Wei arrived in the back hall, visited the three of them, and said: "Don't disturb the prince, the commander, the old slave has brought the good hand of Ouchi-" After that, there were two people in the back hall, Bai Yang and Li Defei looked at each other, and the two of them were the people in the Ouchi Elixir Division, one was Yu Wenfeng, and the other was Kuai Zhenping. When the two saw Bai and Li, they immediately stepped forward to pay a visit, and then Li Defei asked the two to visit King Jingjiang, and King Jingjiang immediately excused himself.

"Why did you two get to Jingjiang Mansion? Although the prince asked the emperor to send more people, I guess the news has not yet reached the palace. Poplar asked.

"The prince and the commanders don't know, I can't wait in the palace these days. I took leave to go to Sichuan and Chongqing to congratulate my father, who was promoted to governor of Sichuan and Chongqing Prefecture by the grace of God. Coincidentally, Pharmacist Kuai was refining medicine in Sichuan and Chongqing Mansion a few days ago, and I happened to meet Pharmacist Kuai when I went to the temporary residence of the Elixir Division. After that, I waited to count the days, and wanted to Jingjiang Mansion to see how the medicine cultivated by the Elixir Division in the village was good, but when I arrived in the town outside the county, I saw the notice posted, and I knew that something happened here. Yuwen Feng said.

"You are the nephew mentioned in the letter between Brother Dingnan and this king, looking at the appearance of Yuwen Pharmacist, I think that he has not passed the weak crown, and the hero is a young man, it is really extraordinary. "King Jingjiang said.

"The prince is wrong to love. Yuwen Feng said.

"By the way, you said that you were going to investigate the medicine, so do you know some things about this village?" asked Poplar.

Kuai Zhengping said: "It is said that the medicine of this village has always been under the jurisdiction of Xia Ming and Yan Jing, but it is just that the water of this spiritual water village is magical, and it can cultivate five flavors of bitter seeds. I also heard that at the beginning of spring this year, Lingshui Village sent a message to the Elixir Division, saying that the five bitter seeds had bloomed, and asked the Elixir Division to go and get the medicine. These bitter seeds can be picked in about half a month after flowering. It's just that the colleagues of the Elixir Department feel strange, this medicine cultivation is to ask the season, the second is to talk about the human law, and the third is to say the will of God, at this time the five flavors of bitter seeds should not be opened early, and the method of cultivating people in the village is told by my elixir department, if you want to come to the mountain people in the village to have a way to improve in advance, I am afraid it can only be said that it is the will of God. And this time I heard that Imperial Doctor Liu also went with me, so I wanted to come over to investigate, if I happened to meet Xia Ming and others, I could also go back to Beijing together, but I didn't know that when I arrived at the boundary of Jingjiang Mansion, I encountered this incident. ”

"In this Wang Anmin's notice, it was only written that the court rebelled when the village came, and asked the people of Jingjiang Mansion not to approach the county seat, and asked the people in the county town not to go to the mountains of the county. I don't think you two know the recent situation of this village, right?" Jingjiang said.

Yu Wenfeng said: "My subordinates don't know what happened to this village, but I think it may be related to the way of heaven." Kuai Zhengping responded: "It's just that we think that the way of heaven has disappeared a year ago, how can it make waves in this year, and this village has people from my elixir department come here every year, if there is anything unusual, I should be aware of it when I come to the village, but this year, the people in the village have lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the Jingjiang Mansion has also been well governed by the prince and the officials of the six departments, why is the way of heaven flourishing again?"

"This village has been turned upside down in these days, Commander Bai and Commander Li, you can tell the detective to the two pharmacists. "King Jingjiang said.

In this way, Bai Yang informed the two of them about the investigation of the case, and the two of them learned about the original situation, it turned out that there were so many incidents after the announcement of the Anmin, but they didn't expect that this time a colleague had died in the line of duty, and Ouchi suffered heavy losses, and the whereabouts of the colleagues of the Elixir Department were still unknown. Even they thought that Pu Mu, who had always been strategic, and the two witty and decisive commanders who were sitting couldn't come up with an idea for a while, thinking that this time, the comeback of the Heavenly Dao was more certain, and I am afraid that this time the counterattack of the Heavenly Dao would be extraordinary.

While talking, an attendant came to summon the news, saying that the guards had an important report in the village and had arrived at the public court. In this way, King Jingjiang led the crowd out of the back hall to the public court. It is only said that the guards have reported the recent situation of the cottage, Pu Mu and others have all checked all kinds of medicinal materials in the Qinghe water, and they are currently sorting out.

King Jingjiang was overjoyed when he heard the news, and everyone was relieved, and they had some clues about this case. King Jingjiang asked Yu Wenfeng and Kuai Zhengping to go to the cell for autopsy first, and then asked Gonggong Wei to write down the investigation and report it to the palace. It was only said that it was time for dinner at this time, and King Jingjiang asked everyone to have dinner before going their separate ways.

Yue slowly climbed into the air, the jail was silent, Yu Wenfeng and Kuai Zhengping were busy, and there were all the things left in the county office, so everything was going well for them at the moment. It was only said that Pu Mu had arrived in the back hall at this time, and the busyness of the past few days made him look a little depressed - there were some jagged stubbles on his cheeks, and a few strands of dry hair floating between his ears and temples, but these did not prevent him from informing King Jingjiang and everyone of the details of the past few days.

"Good work, Commander Pu. It's not easy to come by these days, so it's better to go down to the hot soup first, sort it out a little, and rest early today. "King Jingjiang said.

Pu Mu said: "The prince loves him, but this subordinate still has some questions, that is, ...... What about the couple?"

Li Defei told Pu Mu about bringing Yi Pengfei's family into the mansion, and also told King Jingjiang about isolating officials. Pu Mu said: "The prince is decisive, if you want to intercept the rebellion that the Heavenly Dao has planted around us right now, you can only do so." However, it will take some time for the soldiers and horses of the Inner and Outer Provinces to arrive here, and we are currently short of manpower, and today Duan Gan led the army into Tanglin Mountain, and there is no detention of the people in the village. ”

"But the rebellion did say that the people of the Dongzhai clan were imprisoned in the ancestral cemetery of the ancestors of the Dongling Mountain, and this rebellion was obviously bewitched by the people in the Heavenly Dao, I informed them of the situation, and they naturally wanted me to rescue their people, if they said that they deceived us, but there was no reason. Poplar said.

Pu Mu said: "Thinking about it, those rebels won't lie. If they were lying, the people in the Dao would definitely set a trap and ambush in Tanglin Mountain, but Commander Duan Gan and the others were not ambushed in Tanglin Mountain. It stands to reason that in such a short period of time, we are stationed in the village, how did the Heavenly Dao spread this information to this cottage?"

Li Defei said: "I think that no one has summoned me, and the grave of the ancestors of the Dongling Mountain people is just the last bit of news that the rebel knows." Even if they see that the clansmen were escorted to the ancestral grave of Tanglin Mountain by the Heavenly Dao, the people in the Heavenly Dao still don't know the reason of the three caves of the cunning rabbit?"

"Commander Li is right, by the way, the leader of the silver snake armor that he just caught in that town is still in the prison of the government office, can he find out some things about the Heavenly Dao from him. "King Jingjiang said.

Bai Yang said: "Lord Wang, the thief's head is too seriously injured, and he refuses to cooperate with the treatment, I sealed his acupoints so that he can't cut off his muscles and bite his tongue to commit suicide, but I haven't found Lang Zhong to treat him." ”

King Jingjiang nodded, and then said: "Immediately pass on Lang Zhong to enter the prison to treat him, but this thief leader is afraid that it is difficult to speak, if it is not appropriate to be punished at this time, you commanders, what do you think?"

"If the thief is not recoverable for the first time, I might as well look for some clues from the couple or start with these herbs. Pu Mu said.

"There are a total of thirty-eight flavors of these medicinal herbs, could there be some special medicinal herbs that come from some Jianghu sects?" Li Defei said.

Pu Mu said: "Commander Duan Gan is still sorting out, and it is expected that there will be results tomorrow." ”

"Commander Pu, today I took this couple and their family to the government office, and talked with them for a while, but for a while I couldn't conclude that they had something to do with the Heavenly Dao. As Commander Bai said, how to calculate the production accurately, and how to delay the march of our army, this is the biggest doubt, and if we can distinguish this doubt, this matter will be judged. Li Defei said.

At this time, Yuwen Feng and Kuai Zhengping arrived in the back hall, and the two of them didn't have time to change their clothes, so they only did some simple cleaning and went to the back hall, and Gonggong Wei saw that the two of them were so uncomfortable, and said: "The two pharmacists, the commander and the prince are still here, you are waiting for such clothes to come in......"

King Jingjiang motioned to Gonggong Wei not to speak, and then said, "If the two of you find anything, inform this king and the three commanders of everything." ”

Kuai Zhengping said: "This person was indeed injured by a sharp weapon. And it was the internal force brought out by the sword on the forehead that hit the head so hard that it died. ”

Hearing this, Bai Yang couldn't help but be surprised, he never believed that someone could be so powerful - even if he could make a move in such a short time, but there was no chance that he could disappear so quickly under his nose, so after Bai Yang arrived at the mansion, he suspected that this person was poisoned and died, and the sharp weapon was probably only caused by the aggravation of the body after poisoning. Bai Yang immediately asked, "You can wait for it to be clear, is it indeed caused by the sword?"

Yu Wenfeng said: "We have checked its five organs, and there is no trace of poison left. And there was indeed a damage to his head, which was fatal. ”

"How can there be such a powerful martial art in the world, the moment you open the door, you can take a person's life, and then there is no trace. Ladies and gentlemen, do you believe that there are people in the world who are capable of such things?" said Poplar in confusion.

Li Defei said: "There are people outside the world, there is a sky outside the sky, there are huge rivers and lakes, maybe there are really such capable people." Take the tiger tooth crack I got recently, before this, no one in the rivers and lakes knew it. ”

"In my opinion, there are people with great ability, and there are people with good skills. Maybe the murderer's sword is fast, but Commander Bai, if you are allowed to ambush this house and let people open the door defenselessly, can you kill with one blow with your sword?"

"Of course you can, but if I'm in a room like this, I don't think I'll be able to escape without a trace for a moment." ”

"This is where the real doubts lie, Commander Bai, does such a fast sword belong to the sword style of a superior swordsman in the rivers and lakes?" asked Pu Mu.

Bai Yang thought for a while, and Pu Mu's words made him calm down at this moment - such a fast sword is the sword style of a superior swordsman, but it is not fast, it is only a part of the swordsmanship, and he can't completely judge whether this person can be a superior swordsman, and he is confused because the other party withdraws too quickly, if it is the other party's game, all this seems to be explained.

"It's not a good judgment, but it's just a sword, and it's already in the best realm. Poplar said.

"Therefore, it is not in the swordsmanship, but in the bureau. There are still mysteries in this town, and in that room, to be exact, there are things that confuse the eyes. Pu Mu said.

Pu Mu's words straightened out all the doubts again, and now it is much clearer how to deploy. King Jingjiang said: "Commander Pu is really intelligent, so that the search for clues can go further." Gonggong Wei also immediately echoed: "The ability of Commander Pu, the old slave admires, the old slave wants to have the prince lead a few commanders to investigate the case, plus the manpower of Ouchi to this Jingjiang Mansion, this unsolved case will be solved soon." ”

"Please also ask the prince to sit in the government with peace of mind, and I will go to that town to find out. Pu Mu said.

King Jingjiang said: "Then there will be all the leaders of Lao, and this king is waiting for good news in the palace." ”

In this way, Pu Mu and Li Defei ordered the guards and went out of the yamen, leaving Baiyang to wait in the palace. only said that the two of them left the mansion and went straight to the town. King Jingjiang escorted all the officials in the county government away, and now the county seat has been rumored to be in the night, and there is no one in the streets. A group of people arrived in the town, where the guards were still waiting and the streets were still lit up.

When the guards saw Pu Mu and Li Defei arriving in the town, they immediately stepped forward to greet them. The two dismounted, and told the leader of the guard the reason, and the leader of the guard led them to the room.

"My lord, this door ......" The leader was visibly frightened by the scene in the daytime.

Pu Mu said: "Don't panic, wait for the first time." With that, Pu Mu unsheathed his double knife and brought out the strength on the blade to knock the door open. Li Defei said: "You wait for someone to guard this exit, and a few more people will wait outside the house, and the rest of the people, with torches in their hands, follow us in, be very careful, don't burn the house." ”

The house was lit by lights, and Pu Mu had a few oil lamps lit, and then the torches were removed from the house. Li Defei inquired carefully about the scene in the daytime, and told Bai Yang about his infallibility. Pu Mu paced, remembering the scene of the man falling, and Li Defei also walked to the door. The two of them seemed to think of something at the same time, looking at the floor tiles.
