Chapter 159: Jingbei Verification
Lou Shangshu chatted with the military general for a while, and then walked out of the room. Gui Ming wiped the sweat from his head and jumped off the beam gently. It seems that I can't find anything in this house today, but I have heard some terrible words.
As soon as he returned to the house, his butt was not hot, and Chen An came. Gui Ming didn't have to think about it, he knew what he was here for.
"Hu Yue, Shi Yan. Your Excellency has something for you to do. Chen An took out a piece of paper with the person's name and address written on it.
This person is known to him, and it is Boss Lin who held the ring at that time and recruited martial arts people instead of Lou Shangshu. Sure enough, I'm still ready to kill people.
Gui Ming's old trick was repeated, and he played another game of stealing beams and changing pillars, hiding Boss Lin in a safe place. Of course, this is also indispensable for the intermediary assistance of the Zhongjing government.
Boss Lin saw that Lou Shangshu was so unrepentant of his old feelings and wanted to kill people, so he no longer hid it. wrote a confession of all the things he had done for Lou Shangshu before.
Coupled with the testimony of Ran Xuer and others, it is actually enough to open a case to investigate Lou Shangshu. However, if you want to convict him, there is still a lack of evidence for the most important link, which is the purpose of Yu Chong's trip to the border.
If you do it before the chain of evidence is complete, not only may Lou Shangshu escape by quibbling, but also alarm the forces behind him, so that the gains outweigh the losses.
Now we have to wait for the results of the remaining investigation.
Yu Zhong and his entourage dressed up in disguise and entered Fuzhou, the place of governance on the left side of Jiangbei.
It is a large border city, and 70% of the 100,000 households in the city are military households. Walking on the street, you can see shops making weapons and smelting steel everywhere, and in this kind of city, the branch of Jiangzhou Yu family is naturally indispensable.
In order to hide his whereabouts, there is no place more suitable for hiding than his family's semicolon, and these border veterans who came with Yu Zheng naturally knew the reputation of the Yu family, but they didn't expect him to be the eldest son of the Yu family in Jiangzhou.
"Everyone is still a wanted prisoner, there will be an accident, stay here for the time being, and I will go out first to collect the news, and then we will discuss the next step. Yu Zhong said.
Everyone said yes.
At this time, there are still wanted portraits of a group of people, including Ran Xu'er, at the gate of Fuzhou City, and it is obvious that there has been no news from Zhongjing City here. After all, on the bright side, she and these veterans are already dead.
"Boss, have a bowl of tea. Yu Zhong found a tea stall and sat down first.
"Wait a minute, officer. Xiao Er hurriedly poured a large bowl of tea and brought it up.
"How far is Yangshan from here? Yu Zhong inquired.
"Not far, twenty miles north of the city. After Xiao Er finished speaking, he went to busy himself again.
At this time, the two tea guests at the next table suddenly chatted.
"Hey, our Ran system is dead in Yangshan, pitiful, sacrifice for the country and suffer injustice. A bearded tea guest sighed.
"Shhh Another tea guest hurriedly stopped.
When Yu Zhong heard this, he was also interested, picked up the tea bowl, and sat down.
"Big brother, the Ran system you are talking about is the Ran Zilin system. I have heard that he is a good officer, not only for his valor in battle, but also for our people. Yu Zhong said.
"Well, I remember one year, when I was in town to make a delivery, the horse was frightened and broke my leg. Thanks to Ran Tong's passing, not only did he have people help me deliver the goods, but he also personally sent me to the medical center. The bearded tea guest said.
"I heard that he was killed in battle by taking the light of the enemy's advance, and the court has already announced this matter. Yu Zhong said again.
When the bearded man heard this, he was furious, slapped the table and said angrily: "Bullshit." ”
Another tea guest on the side hurriedly said, "You be quiet." ”
Immediately afterwards, he said to Yu Chong: "This little brother wants to come from other places, in fact, the matter of Ran's control is privately spread among the people, but he was actually framed." The garrison lieutenant of Nayang Mountain, who was originally from our village, suddenly disappeared with his family afterwards, you say this is suspicious or not. ”
Hearing this, Yu Chong's eyes lit up. Hurriedly asked: "Then this big brother, do you know the whereabouts of this lieutenant now." ”
"I don't know, but he has a brother-in-law who stayed to take care of the family's few acres of thin fields, so he didn't leave, maybe he knew. The tea guest said.
Yu Zhong inquired about the specific address of the village from the tea guest, and hurriedly went back and told the veterans about it. The people deliberated and decided, and immediately set out to find the captain.
Everyone followed the clues given by the tea guest and came to the village to find the brother-in-law of the captain. Although he denied it at first, he soon recruited it under the combination of soft and hard work.
It turned out that the lieutenant had moved to a small village dozens of miles away with his family. Yu Zhong and the others quickly rushed over, and when they arrived, it was already night.
It was a very small village, and there were not dozens of families in total, so Yu Zhong easily found the home of the captain. He winked, and the veterans guarded the entire courtyard.
"Is anyone home?" Yu Zhong shouted as he knocked on the courtyard door.
A man came to open the door, poked his head out and asked, "Who are you looking for?"
"Excuse me, but is it Captain Li's home?" Yu Zhong asked.
"What Li Duwei, there is nothing Li Duwei here, you are looking for the wrong one. The man's head immediately retracted and he was about to close the door. But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't close the door, and when he saw that Yu Zhong had already used his sword against the courtyard door.
"Who the hell are you, I don't know anything, why are you still coming to me?" The man's panicked look had already betrayed himself, he must be Li Duwei.
Yu Zhong stepped forward and kicked him back into the courtyard, pushed the door open and walked in.
"It's you, lying about the military situation and harming Commander Ran. Yu Zhong asked coldly.
"I've already promised you that I won't say anything, so why do you want to chase after me?" said Captain Li knelt on the ground and cried.
"I'm not here to kill you, but if you don't tell me the truth, I don't mind giving you a ride. Shameless people like you, everyone will be punished. Yu Zhong said angrily.
"I'm just acting on orders, hero, you have a debt and a master, you should go to the new Yuan Commander to seek revenge, these things are what he ordered me to do, if I don't do it, he will kill my whole family." Captain Li kowtowed and begged for mercy.
Yu Zhong secretly scolded this Li Duwei in his heart is also a soft bone, he didn't ask much before he did all the tricks, no wonder he would betray Ran's system.
Under his continued questioning, Li Duwei told the truth of the matter one by one, and there was no difference between what Ran Xu'er said, it was basically the truth.
"You are so empty and white-toothed, how can I trust you, do you have a certificate?" Yu Zhong asked.
"There was originally a letter sent by the Yuan Ruler at that time, which can be used as proof. Li Duwei confessed.
The letter he said was already in Ran Xu'er's hands, and Yu Zhong naturally knew it, but it was not enough to be used as ironclad evidence of the Yuan Dynasty's treason.
"Is there any other evidence, if you want to live, I advise you to hand it over, now that the person sent by the capital to take your life is already on the way, and I am the only one who can save you. Yu Zhong continued to ask.
Although he was scaring Lieutenant Li, in fact, everyone understood that it was only a matter of time before he killed people.
Li Duwei thought for a while, gritted his teeth, and said: "There is also a secret letter here, which was written by the Yuan Commander to the general of the Beining Army. ”
I saw him run into the house and rummage for a while, and then came out with a crumpled envelope.
Yu Zhong opened it and looked at it again, his face solemn.
"How did you get this letter?" he asked.
"The small one was picked up when I was cleaning the Yangshan battlefield, and because I didn't know the authenticity, I kept it by my side, planning to use it to save my life at a critical moment. Li Duwei said with a wincing face.
"Hmph, if you take it out, I'm afraid your life will be gone. Yu Zhong snorted coldly.
He couldn't help but secretly think in his heart, such an important secret letter was stamped with a big seal, and it should be true. But why was it discovered on the battlefield of Yangshan? There is only one possibility after thinking about it, this is the trick of the people of Bac Ninh.
When the two armies are at war, there is no morality at all. The Beining Army took advantage of the infighting in the Southern Han military to get rid of Ran Zilin, a thorn in their eyes, but left a secret letter, apparently to create greater chaos in the Southern Han army.
Once this secret letter is picked up by someone with a heart and stabbed above the court, it will definitely set off a storm. The chaos in the Southern Han army is beneficial to Beining and not harmful, and this intention is so sinister.
With this secret letter, it can be said that the officials of the Yuan system have also done it. It's just that Li Duwei is an important witness, and if he is left alone, he will be harmed sooner or later.
Hidden in the city, Yu Chong thought about it, or the Yu family's semicolon is relatively safer. After all, no one would have thought that Li Duwei would return to Fuzhou, hiding under people's noses.
Yu Zhong put away the letter, and together with the veterans, he brought Li Duwei's family back to Fuzhou and settled down. The next step is to deal with this meta-system.
Collaborated with the enemy and treason, and framed Zhongliang. If it was placed in normal times, Yu Zhong would have stabbed him in a few transparent holes with a sword and sent him directly to the Western Heavens, so as not to bother. But this time I'm here to collect evidence, so I still have to keep his life.
It's late at night, and the guards of this control house are unexpectedly lax, and this yuan control system is a waste of eighty percent. It didn't take much effort for Yu Zhong to find his bedroom.
At this moment, he was hugging the beauty and dreaming, and the snoring sound shook the sky. Suddenly, he woke up from a dream and saw a young man sitting in his room, looking at him with Erlang's legs crossed.
After all, Yuan Tongzhi was also a military general, turned over and got out of bed, and drew his sword. With a sword groan, its momentum was like lightning, attacking Yu Zhong.
It's a pity that his sword is fast, and the rest of the sword is faster.
With the sound of the sword breaking, the sword in the hand of the Yuan Commander had been split in two. The blade of Yan Jun's sword had already pressed against his throat.
"You can try again, if your mouth is fast, or my sword is fast. Yu Zhong said coldly, the killing intent in his eyes made people shudder.
