Chapter 63: Ten Miles of Prosperity and Frost

Cheng Liangjia stroked the mustache on his lips and said casually: "After the assassination of Qi Tai in the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of War last time, the Holy Lord attached great importance to it and strictly ordered Ying Tianfu to patrol and Jinyi Wei to investigate this matter thoroughly. The two joined forces and searched almost all the large and small hotels and entertainment venues in the city, but still found nothing. ”

"Could it be that these gangsters are hiding somewhere unexpected?"

"Who knows, our police force is limited, and we can't go door-to-door. Cheng Liangjia sighed frequently, "Therefore, in addition to increasing control and strictly checking the entry and exit of pedestrians in and out of the city gate, the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division also sent a large number of soldiers to strengthen night patrols. And there seems to be no better way. ”

Lin Fanghe was worried: "There are quite a lot of people in the other camp, who are familiar with the art of disguise, and they have even recruited a group of highly trained full-time killers, which is really unguardable!"

"Fortunately, the Forbidden City of Ouchi sent two Zhendian generals, Wuwei General Yin Liufang and Wuyao General Yin Liuquan commanded the formation skillfully, and the experienced Yulinwei sat in the Beijing Division, and the commander of the Nine Gate Army Horses ......"

"Yin Liufang and Yin Liuquan, but those two sword masters from the Wudang faction?"

"Exactly. ”

"With them, my heart is half relieved. Lin Fanghe groaned for a long time, cut his hands back, and paced back and forth in the room a few times. Suddenly, he stopped and asked, "Cheng Zhutou, do you remember the former emperor's abandoned concubine Liu Fanhua?"

Cheng Liangjia exclaimed: "Why don't you remember, after this Concubine Liu entered the palace, she was favored for a while. Deeply loved by the saints. In the twenty-sixth year of Hongwu, he was implicated in an old case and degraded the cold palace. Didn't she die of grief later? Lord Lin, why did you mention this person for no reason?"

"Because I fought against her today, and I was almost defeated by Liu Fanhua's men. ”

"Concubine Liu is still alive?"

"Not only is she living well, it seems that she also knows the inside story of the court very well, and she only says a few words, hiding mysteries......"

"That's weird, someone had seen her corpse back then. ”

"A dead person, and you know that it's not Li Dai Taozhuang?"

"If you say so, the secret hidden here is extraordinary. Cheng Liangjia shook his head with a wry smile and said: "In the palace, the guards are heavily guarded, after the death of a concubine, from tidying up the appearance, changing the court clothes, to setting up the coffin and entering the funeral, the palace inspection, and then to the public and the ministers bowing, how many complicated procedures do you have to go through? Isn't it too sensational that someone can steal the dragon and exchange the phoenix?"

Lin Fanghe's face was solemn, and his words were resolute: "I only know that the existence of this Liu Fanhua is not only an ironclad fact that cannot be changed, but also that her martial arts have improved by leaps and bounds in the past five years, and she has also practiced the Demon Sect Great Array 'Heavenly Illusion Sun'......"

"Demon Sect Great Array? Isn't this the secret of the Western Demon Sect Leader 'Supreme Freedom' Kuang Jiuyou in the past?"

"Not bad. Lin Fanghe stroked his chin and said loudly: "Fifteen years ago, Kuang Jiuyou relied on this array to repel the three elders of Wudang on the snowy plateau in one fell swoop, injured the master of Shaolin Temple, and trapped Yang Duxing, who was recognized as the first fast sword in martial arts at that time, 'White Horse Jade Sword, Wanli Lone Ranger'!"

"How could Liu Fanhua be involved with this big devil?"

"Because Liu Fanhua is not actually surnamed Liu, her surname is Ding. Her father was Ding Pulang, one of the four King Kongs in the army of Han King Chen Youliang. ”

"Ding Pulang?" Xiang Jincheng and Tang Yu listened to the port on the side, and they couldn't keep their tongues down, and they didn't feel that they yearned for it. Lao Xiang took two steps forward, his face flushed, and shouted: "Lord Lin, I have heard from the gentleman who told me in this paragraph, this Ding Pulang has amazing strength, and he uses iron and iron swords, and this dance will be opened, straight as a pear blossom covering the top, snow pressing bamboo branches, and daring to take the head of a general in a million troops! Hey, didn't he later abandon the darkness and surrender to the light, and lowered my Ming Emperor Wu Wang Zhu Yuanzhang?"

Cheng Liangjia has been in the government for a long time and is familiar with old cases, and he also said: "Ding Pulang and Zhao Pusheng, another of the Four King Kongs, are sworn brothers and have a deep friendship. Zhao Pusheng fought bravely and had a bold personality, and he was a very authoritative person in the army. After Chen Youliang usurped the throne, there were many people who were not convinced, and in order to be able to completely control the Han regime, he ruthlessly killed Zhao Pusheng! Ding Pulang's betrayal was to avenge his life and death confidant......

Therefore, in the battle of Poyang Lake, Ding Pulang took the lead, took the lead in the charge, and led his subordinates to pounce directly on Chen Youliang's flagship. Lin Fanghe's cheeks were flushed, and he also lost his due calm, and said: "Although he did not succeed in the end, he was hit by several arrows, suffered serious injuries, and even his head was cut off, but he still held a simple knife in his hands, his body was straight, and he stood on the bow of the boat without falling!"

Tang Yu nodded again and again, and asked, "What about Liu Fanhua?"

Lin Fanghe was stunned, his eyes showed a confused and painful light, and he whispered: "After her father died in battle, her mother also committed suicide by hanging. Liu Fanhua lost his parents, searched for it, was deserted, and the garden of the past was all sad! Since then, the green donkey and the little sword have gone to the end of the world alone......"

"Then how did she become the concubine of the former emperor again?" Tang Yu went to the bottom of it.

"It's a long story. Lin Fanghe was slightly uneasy, hesitated, and said: "Fifteen years ago, we met once in the Drunken Weng Pavilion in Langya Mountain, at that time, she had not yet studied under the 'Supreme Freedom' Kuang Jiuyou, practicing the Wuji Sword Technique, and was only twenty-one years old......

As soon as he said this, Cheng Liangjia, the head catcher, suddenly stood up, clasped his fists, and cut off Lin Fanghe's words: "My lord, I forgot if you didn't mention the Langya Mountain Drunken Weng Pavilion, you mentioned it, I really remembered one thing! Why don't you poke it out at this time, and I won't be able to leave it in which corner for a while?"

Lin Fanghe hummed, smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, you ...... it."

"You must remember that the 'change' gold we caught last time was not exchanged, and he was imprisoned in the prison for so many days, and he was tortured by the jailers. I couldn't stand it for the past two days, and finally vomited something useful. ”

Lin Fanghe nodded, and began to listen carefully to what Cheng Zhutou was saying.

"My lord, about the bag of leopard tendons he left behind in Ningxiang Building, he will say that it has nothing to do with him, and he will say that he has received it on behalf of others. I couldn't get angry, so I ordered someone to bring Jin Buchang to the underground torture room, and as soon as he entered the water prison, without saying a word, he first put our housekeepers, such as bamboo sticks, iron chains, finger sticks, calf rollers, linen clothes with sharp needles, and a tall hat cast of 128 pounds of pure iron in front of him, and this kid was immediately paralyzed. The confession said that he had purchased and processed these things for a person surnamed Wu Ming Kenichi, and he didn't know what they were used for......"

Lin Fanghe frowned slightly and said, "Human life is at stake, don't act hastily." The "Da Ming Law" clearly states that suspects are not allowed to extort confessions by torture without being verified by the government. Raids, torture, and intimidation to induce confessions, how reliable is the testimony obtained?"

"We are just scaring and scaring him, how can we really fight!"

"Then where does this Wu Jian's family live, what does he do for a living, does he have a background, and what is the use of this specially made leopard tendon?"

Cheng Liangjia listened, and was a little emotional: "I don't know at all." 'Variety' just said that the first time they met was in the Drunken Weng Pavilion in Langya Mountain, and the other party was a tall man, with a thin body, wearing a black robe and a black cloak on his head. After talking for a while, he didn't see anyone's face at all......"

"A man in a black robe?"
