Chapter 193 Let's find out
When Yang Zhan came back to Chuzhou to visit Qiu Guanghan last year, he had roughly guessed that this Tao Yong was pretended to be someone else. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoTao Yong is so deliberate in all kinds of designs, but the intention is to kill these high-ranking officials by Yang Zhan's hands. But Yang Zhan is not a reckless person, not only did he not start after talking to the adults, but he recognized the essence of the matter even more. However, Yang Zhan's opponent was too cunning, and he had already prepared a countermeasure in case Yang Zhan failed to make a move, so these officials could not escape the fate of death.
It's just that Yang Zhan looked back at Tao Yong's matter again, and he felt particularly strange, because he was obviously waiting for his appearance in Huangshan. In this way, I am afraid that all this is more complicated than I imagined.
In this way, Yang Zhan had to go to Huangshan again, but to see when this Tao Yong began to appear there. But Yang Zhan didn't know much about Tao Yong, and Tao Yong committed suicide after the last meeting, and if he wanted to investigate carefully, he was afraid of a thousand difficulties.
Fortunately, Yang Zhan still remembers the scene when he first met Tao Yong, when he pretended to be the agricultural official of She County. Maybe this real farmer official would tell him something about Tao Yong, so thinking about it, Yang Zhan took Hua Linglong and went straight to She County.
Just when the two of them rushed to the outskirts of the city, Yang Zhan suddenly saw a white scholar sitting in a roadside tea pavilion, but wasn't it the Si Nong official that Tao Yong played that day? Yang Zhan was overjoyed and stepped forward, but the Si Nong official had no time to take care of this weathered old man, and only looked at himself.
"The old man is in a hurry, and he wants to borrow a seat to drink tea, but I don't know if it's inconvenient?" asked Yang Zhan.
Si Nong Guan only smiled coldly and said, "I am a dying person, if you are not afraid, you can deal with it at will." ”
Yang Zhan looked at Si Nong Guan in confusion, but he couldn't guess what he meant.
"Your Excellency is in the prime of life, how can you harm yourself like this?" Yang Zhan said in confusion.
Si Nongguan then told what happened to him, it turned out that he lost his official seal and documents that day, and was absent from the work of the government for several days, so he had already violated the law and could no longer hold this position. Yang Zhan knew about Tao Yongqiao Zhuang's agricultural official, so he also expected that he would not be able to escape the fate of dismissal and investigation, but the dismissal investigation was just taking off a black gauze hat on his head, so why should he die?
Yang Zhan's point of view is correct, but it does not apply to Si Nongguan. This agricultural official studied hard for more than ten years, and finally won a jinshi who could see the moon and see the moon, and after becoming a boss agricultural official, he was even more glorious in the ancestral court, if he was dismissed from his fame, wouldn't he have been abolished for the first half of his life? Where did he still have the capital to turn over? After thinking about it, Si Nongguan planned to die.
Yang Zhan didn't understand the reason, so he sneered: "Life is unsatisfactory nine times out of ten, if you have to solve it with death every time, you will be impatient to think about it." ”
Hearing such words, Si Nongguan suddenly felt ashamed and indignant, so he snorted angrily, but no longer talked to him. Yang Zhan didn't want to anger Si Nongguan, after all, he still had to ask about Tao Yong, Lang Lang smiled and said: "The old man knows a little about the way of physiognomy, and now I see that there seems to be auspicious clouds blooming on your eyebrows, which is a good omen, and it will definitely make you seek advantages and avoid disadvantages." ”
When Si Nongguan saw that what Yang Zhan said was the way, he couldn't help but touch his forehead. But soon, he became melancholy again and said: "Sixteen years of hard study in the late life have earned today's fame, but this crime has been decided, and there is no possibility of serving the imperial court...... Everything is wasted. ”
"If the old man can help you recover the lost official seal and help you clarify the facts, can you clear this charge?" Yang Zhan asked.
Si Nongguan's eyebrows widened when he heard this, but then he hesitated: "Listening to the old man's words, he seems to know a lot about what happened to his later life, do you know who the thief who stole my official seal is?"
Yang Zhan only smiled silently and said, "The old man has a New Year's friend, and he was also killed by this thief a few months ago, and I came to find him this time." ”
Si Nongguan only looked at Yang Zhan suspiciously, and then said, "Who still doesn't know what this person's surname is, but how can he find it?"
This person is Tao Yong, a guest of Huangshan, who is good at disguise, and is said to live in the area of Tiandu Peak. Yang Zhan said.
Si Nongguan was greatly surprised, because he had not only heard of this Tao Yong, but also seen it once when he went to the mountains to study species. Si Nongguan then told his experience one by one, but Yang Zhan was amazed to hear it.
"Although the name of that person was not given, there is no doubt that it must be Tao Yong, because there are few residents in the area of Tiandu Peak, and there are even fewer old people, and I am familiar with some of them. In addition, Tiandu Peak, Guangming Peak, Lotus Peak three mountains have spiritual light alternately diving, the first half of the month is in Tiandu Peak, the middle of the month is transferred to the Guangming Peak, and the second half is flowing with the Lotus Peak. This spiritual light is the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, can make people radiant, delicate skin, it is said that this person is good at the art of disguise, must be thirsty for the spiritual light of the three mountains. Si Nong said carefully.
Si Nongguan has lived here for a long time, and is in charge of the matter of agricultural mulberry herbs, which is naturally the most clear, as soon as he said this, Yang Zhan immediately knew how to verify when this fake Tao Yong came to Huangshan.
Yang Zhan then used the scene of the last time he met Tao Yong, and then invited Si Nongguan to go with him to find the official seal. Of course, Si Nong Guan was willing to go with him, and if he could recover these things, he could not only clear his name, but even be reinstated.
"It was rainy in late spring, and mosquitoes were raging in the mountains, so the old man and I went home with me to prepare some supplies. Si Nong said excitedly.
Yang Zhan and Hua Linglong both felt that this move was very good, and after agreeing, they followed Si Nongguan into the city. Although She County is a small town in the mountains, the streets and markets are also quite luxuriant, and there are all kinds of stalls and wine shops.
Yang Zhan watched along the street, but suddenly found a well-dressed one-armed man standing in the money village on the side of the road. Yang Zhan only felt that this person was a little familiar, so he took a second look.
Seeing Yang Zhan's expression, Si Nongguan said disdainfully: "This person is Hong Tonghai, the richest man in She County, who is illiterate but has a lot of wealth. ”
At this moment, three or five young women walked downstairs, but they all shouted at Hong Tonghai, which really made people look funny.
"I can't imagine that the richest man in a county would be so afraid of his wife. Hua Linglong scoffed.
Si Nongguan smiled disapprovingly: "This Hong Tonghai can accumulate a lot of wealth, isn't it because of the support of these wives and concubines?"
But Yang Zhan couldn't laugh, because he finally remembered who the one-armed man in front of him was. Not only that, but he also remembered who Hong Tonghai's three wives and concubines were. Hua Linglong saw Yang Zhan's stunned expression, so she asked, but Yang Zhan didn't say much, because he found that the whole thing was becoming more and more complicated and interesting.
Yang Zhan then asked Si Nongguan about the time when Hong Tonghai married these three women, Si Nongguan was a native of She County, so he naturally knew about it, so he said it one by one.
"That's right. Yang Zhan said silently.
After the three of them took rain gear, dry food and other items, they hurried to the hinterland of Huangshan. Under the leadership of Yang Zhan, the three of them soon came to the place where Tao Yong committed suicide that day.
After the wind and rain at the scene, it was already unbearable for the old scene, Tao Yong naturally had a skeleton left, and the bag was also moved to the cave and turned over. Fortunately, the visitor was not interested in the paperwork, and the official seal of the official Si Nong was also left in place. Seeing this situation, Si Nongguan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and said in a loud voice: "I'm saved." ”
Yang Zhan saw that Si Nongguan was so excited, so he was also happy for him.
"The old man is very kind, and he really doesn't know how to repay him in his later life. Si Nong said excitedly.
Yang Zhan shook his head and said, "I'm just doing what I know, if you want to thank me, thank my old friend." But he is also stigmatized because of this person, if you have the heart to help, why don't you help me find out the details of this Tao Yongdi, so it can be regarded as repaying my friend. ”
"I am in charge of this matter, but I don't know how to help investigate?" asked the agricultural officer.
"My friend said that this Tao Yong was disguised by someone else, and if it weren't for that, how would he have been killed?" So the old man asked you to help me go to a nearby farmhouse to investigate, but to see if this Tao Yong was really a fake. Yang Zhan said.
"Since I took up my post as an agricultural officer in She County, I have come to Huangshan several times to investigate, and most of the farmers here are familiar with each other, so if you want to inquire about something, it must be very simple. It's just that this Tao Yong is a hermit, and he has never been with people, but I am afraid that they may not be able to distinguish between the pure and false Tao Yong. Si Nong Guan said.
Although Yang Zhan agreed with what Si Nongguan said, he had other methods, because Si Nongguan said that this Tiandu Peak, Guangming Peak and Lotus Peak have spiritual lights alternating by month, as long as you ask Tao Yong about the signs of movement over the years, you can judge when this fake Tao Yong appeared. When the farmer heard this, he also shouted wonderfully, so he led everyone to the mountain village.
Yang Zhan's assumption is right, although there are few farmers in the mountains, they are less exposed to things on weekdays, so the past can often be remembered clearly. Regarding the time when Tao Yong haunted these three peaks, the villagers also slowly talked about it.
"About three years ago, we discovered that the hermit only entered Lotus Peak during the Plastic Moon season, and it has been the same for the next three years. But for some reason, he has not been seen in recent months. The villager said puzzled.
Yang Zhan was very excited, because according to the villagers, the real Tao Yong should have been killed three years ago, and the fake Tao Yong had waited for him here for three years. In this way, the mastermind behind the scenes had already expected this matter and planned this situation in advance.
After Yang Zhan finished investigating Tao Yong's whereabouts, he asked about another thing like Si Nongguan, that is, the old man who was fishing under the Lotus Peak. The farmer then asked the farmer about this, but the farmer did not seem to be impressed, only saying that the old man and the young man were also here about three years ago, but they only lived in the deep mountains opposite, and rarely went down the mountain on weekdays.
Yang Zhan then looked closely at the mountain pointed out by the farmer, and suddenly felt that this mountain was surrounded by Tiandu Peak, Guangming Peak and Lotus Peak, but it was the central point both in terms of location and distance. Yang Zhan then asked if the old man and the young had been to the other three peaks, and the villagers only said that they had seen it once, but they had no impression. (To be continued.) )
