Tang Dynasty Mingyue Song Dynasty Pass

Chapter 670 Investigate the truth behind the scenes
After a night of fire fighting, the fire in the entire mansion was extinguished at dawn the next day.

Five or sixty people were killed or injured by the guards of the mission. The house where Su Chen lived was the most severely damaged. Overnight, it had become a piece of rubble. Four or five corpses could be vaguely found inside.

Cheng Dexuan ordered Zuo Zuo to personally inspect these corpses, identify men, women and ages, whether they were Su Chen and his family members.

Wu Zuo checked immediately, but from the charred corpses after death, there were two men and three women, there should be the lost killer, Su Chen himself and his wife.

In the other room, there were also two men, who should be his bookboy and guard, all of whom were killed.

"No one was left alive, and all of them were killed." Cheng Dexuan muttered to himself, always feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell. After all, all the corpses were burnt and couldn't be recognized from the outside. .

But Wu Zuo confirmed that there were the bodies of the young man and three young women, and Cheng Dequan had nothing to say.

Liang Jiong said angrily: "This group of people are so insane that they killed Mr. Su. It's a heinous crime."

No one would have imagined that Su Chen, a talented person from Jiangzuo, would have an accident at the first stop of Yangzhou on the way north to the Great Song Dynasty, which is very embarrassing.

Cheng Dexuan said to Liang Jiong: "We must find out who is responsible for the murderer behind the scenes, so that we can explain to the court, otherwise, if you and I bear the crime of dereliction of duty, I am afraid that we will also bear a lot of responsibility."

Yang Jiong nodded, and replied: "Master Cheng, we have examined all the corpses of some black-clothed assassins, and they should be from the south, not from the Khitan and Han in the north, because the bones show the characteristics of Jiangnan bones. And we also captured a living assassin, who was already wounded, after the interrogation last night, according to his confession, it was Wei Cen of Tang Dynasty who sent them to assassinate Su Chen."

Cheng Dexuan showed a look of surprise: "Wei Cen? That's the leader of the Song Party in the Tang court. They were worried that Su Chen would go north. This kind of talent would fall into our Song Dynasty, which would be bad for the Southern Tang Dynasty, so they sent someone to commit suicide on the way. "

"Yes, yes, that's what I thought too, and it makes perfect sense." Liang Jiong said.

However, Cheng Dequan also had doubts, and said: "We can't listen to his one-sided opinion on this matter. What proof does he have that Wei Cen sent him here?"

Liang Jiong replied: "We have also asked about this. Since the bodyguard assassin was just an ordinary killer, no letters or warrants were found on him, but according to him, one of the dead assassins was someone he was familiar with. People, that person is Liao Han, a general in Wei Cen's residence, we can use this named and surnamed Liao Han's family general to identify the truth of lies, if that person is indeed Wei Cen's, then the situation will be clear .”

Hearing this, Cheng Dexuan said, "It makes sense. You send someone to investigate this matter, and immediately go to Jinling to find out if there is a general named Liao Han in Wei Cen's house. He has disappeared recently, or his whereabouts are unknown. If you put his portrait on it, you can inquire about it.”

Liang Jiong nodded and said, "No problem. I'll find a painter right away, draw a portrait of Liao Han, and take it to Jinling City for investigation. But, should the news of Su Chen's murder be blocked?"

Cheng Dexuan thought for a while, and said: "Don't block it, let it out, let the world know. After all, this incident happened for real, and we didn't fake it. At most, we just didn't protect it well, but we don't have to take other responsibilities, otherwise , Block the news now, and in a few days, if the news of Su Chen's murder comes out again, I'm afraid others won't believe it and think that we did it on the way, and it won't be clear if we jump into the Yangtze River."

"Oh, that makes sense, Mr. Cheng is more thoughtful!" Liang Jiong nodded in agreement.

Cheng Dexuan showed worry on the surface, but his heart was like a mirror. He had already made preparations for this. If Su Chen was unwilling to join Zhao Guangyi's camp, he would take some measures to kill Su Chen, and then put the blame on the Northern Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty. , Khitan and other forces, now, he felt that there was no need to use it, but he was preempted and assassinated Su Chen and his family members. What he did was even more vicious than what he had planned at the beginning.

It is precisely because of this that Cheng Dexuan felt a little familiar and confused, just assassinate Su Chen, there is no need to set fire to all the people accompanying him, let's destroy the corpse and wipe out the traces!

Liang Jiong didn't have these thoughts, so he directly sent someone to find the painter. After the surviving assassin identified Liao Han's body, he drew a portrait of the deceased and took him to Jinling for secret investigation.

Who would have thought that these were all traps designed by Su Chen in advance!
Three days later, Su Chen arrived at a small island in a big boat.

This is one of more than 20 large and small islands under the control of Hei Yundu. There are very few residents on the island and it is relatively quiet. The entire island is temporarily given over to Su Chen and others. After all, he is not suitable for exposure and can only hide on the island for a period of time. , Avoid the limelight.

Dozens of people came down from the clothes, all of whom were dead men rescued by Jing Hong this time. Back then, Su Chen asked Jing Hong to pick a group of orphans to take to Beigu Mountain Villa for training. After a year, it really came in handy.

At this time, only using your own people is the most reliable.

"Stay in a cage for a long time, and return to nature!"

Su Chen stood on the island, looking at the virgin forest and the endless sea, everything was natural, and his heart became peaceful and calm.

Peng Jingjing, Bai Susu, and Liu Mo Nong all disguised themselves as men and stood beside Su Chen. Feeling her husband's peace and composure, they immediately felt extremely at ease.

The husband is like a mountain, giving them a sense of stability and security.

Su Chen said with emotion: "Next, we will stay on the island for a few months, quietly watching the development of the situation in Tang and Song, and by the way, think about how we should go step by step!"

"Master, we all listen to you and believe in you!" Bai Susu said firmly.

"Okay, then let's work together!"

At this time, Peng Jingjing said optimistically: "Does this look like Spirit Snake Island? Zhang Wuji, Zhao Min, Zhou Zhiruo, Xiao Zhao and others were stranded on the island. That part of the martial arts story."

Liu Mo Nong chuckled lightly and said, "Those are all novels written by Mr. Xianggong, so they can't be taken as real!"

Peng Jingjing clapped her hands and said, "I just like those martial arts stories about my husband. For me, they are more fascinating than those poems and songs!"

Bai Susu joked, "If you're bored on the island, you can urge your husband to tell you a story or write a story."

"Hee hee, of course it is also a kind of enjoyment to listen to my husband making up martial arts stories in my spare time." Peng Jingjing was very happy.

Su Chen saw that the three girls were in high spirits, without the sadness of leaving home or the sadness of being in trouble, and he breathed a sigh of relief, and he didn't blame himself so much in his heart.
