Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 522

The county magistrate Niu was not found.

Song Qiyun took Ying Shiwu and Dai Yi, and led the shadows to turn the county government up and down, inside and out, and found no secret room, let alone the county magistrate Niu.

This result surprised everyone, Bai Meng did not give up, and led others to search again, but still found nothing.

When Shen Cha was searching the county government office in Baimeng, he personally went to the camp in Wangxin Town. While asking the imperial army who was ordered to take over the camp to search the camp, he interrogated Wu Fei in person, but he didn't get any results either. The answers they want.

"We can't delay any longer, let's go back to Beijing early tomorrow morning!" Shen Haolin looked at the few people sitting together with frowning faces, "You don't have to look like this, there must be something we have overlooked here, take your time , don't worry. Let's deliver Wanyan Xi safely to His Majesty's eyes first, that's the most important thing!"

"Master Guo is right." Song Jinyu nodded, and reached out to pat Bai Meng, who was frowning, "Anyway, people can't escape in our hands, right? When we arrive in Xijing, let's interrogate slowly, and we have plenty of time Spend with them."

"Sister is right. What they care about is their status in Wangxin Town, so let's stimulate them with what they care most about. When we return to Beijing, enter the palace, and meet the emperor, I will suggest that we choose the right person. Take over here. When everything is settled, I will tell them the excellent news." Song Qiyun sneered, "Since they don't want to tell us the truth, then don't tell us at all, and spend the rest of your life in prison !"

"Why are you so angry today?" Song Jinyu pinched Song Qiyun's face, "Is it because of General Wu Fei?"

"There is no one else but him. I really never thought that my brother could stab me in the back." Song Qiyun snorted twice, and looked at Shen Cha, "It's really wise that my sister didn't leave him in the shadows back then. Just like what you said at the beginning, he is not of one mind with us."

"It's not that he doesn't have the same heart, but his thoughts and original intentions are completely different from ours. Our purpose in joining the army is to use our whole life to resist foreigners and keep the people of Daxia safe and sound. Therefore, it doesn't matter where we are stationed. And what he wants is to become the local authority. He can say the same thing. At least in his jurisdiction, no one will not listen to his words, and no one will refute them. Such a person will never allow himself to be inferior to others Let's go." Shen Cha sighed, "So, he would rather choose to stay in Wangxin Town than go to the border to be restrained."

"However, even if he stays in Wangxin Town, the county magistrate and commander-in-chief are also his immediate superiors, so it's not unrestricted?" Song Qiyun lay on the table, "Whatever he wants to do, he has to take Niu County into consideration. The idea of ​​the order also needs to consider the consequences."

"Your Majesty, you didn't understand what the general meant." Bai Meng took a sip of tea, "Although Wangxin Town is known as the last barrier of Xijing, it is still a bit far away from Xijing. He wants to do something behind our backs. We don't know for a short time. Although County Magistrate Niu is his immediate boss, if he holds the handle of County Magistrate Niu, County Magistrate Niu can only let it go. So..." He sighed, "This place Who is in charge? It’s not certain! At least judging from the current situation, Wu Fei must be an indispensable person. This absurd lie has nothing to do with him. If we want to find Magistrate Niu, I'm afraid we have to start with him." He looked at Shen Cha, "General, I..."

"Commander, no matter what you want to do, you have to wait for us to solve the matter of Wan Yanxi, okay? Besides, the Commander has many experts under his command. They are competent for this interrogation. I believe in their ability , I hope the general will also believe them. If it really doesn’t work, I will ask Shadow to assist you. The general does not need to be so anxious, anyway, we will stay in Beijing for more than half a month, and the time is enough.”

"Okay." Bai Meng agreed straightforwardly, "Then I'll just wait for the general!"

Shen Cha shook her head helplessly, this Bai Meng was stalking her, if she disagreed, the commander might make a fuss with Song Jue, or even cry with Song Jue!

She rubbed her chin. Thinking about it this way, it seemed very interesting. Suddenly, she really looked forward to this scene, and wanted to see what the usually stable general would look like if he cheated.

Early the next morning, everyone set off for Xijing. Niu Chuang, Meng Xiancheng, Wu Fei and others were also escorted by the imperial army, and entered Beijing with the brigade.

Wanyanxi sat on the horse, looked at the prison cart following behind them, and sighed softly.

Although he didn't leave the post house for the past two days, he just wandered around in the yard, but the incident in Wangxin Town was so noisy, it was impossible for him not to know that the people from the Shen family army who came and went did not avoid him , more or less heard some.But he understands that this is not what he should know, nor what he should talk about, so he pretends that he is completely ignorant.

"Do you know who's in the prison van behind? You should have heard something about Wangxin Town, right?" Song Qiyun followed Wan Yanxi, and when he saw him looking back, he smiled slightly, "What's the matter?" idea?"

"Deputy General Song, I..."

"Stop it, don't say you don't know, the whole Wangxin Town is full of rumors." Song Qiyun patted Yan Xi's shoulder, "It's okay, just say what you want to say, you can taunt if you want!"

"Vice General Song, you're thinking too much. I don't mean to ridicule anyone. Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite, and no one's life is particularly easy. There's no need to add insult to injury." Wan Yanxi looked at the armor on his body, I smiled wryly, "Based on my current position, what right do I have to ridicule others? Vice General Song, did you not find the county magistrate?"

"Yes!" Song Qiyun didn't hide anything, and simply admitted, "We thought the county magistrate was not dead, but we searched Wangxin Town, but couldn't find him. This person disappeared as if he had never existed. It’s strange that there’s no trace.”

"Deputy General Song, you can change your mind, maybe you can find the root of the problem, and you can also find the county magistrate."

"Oh? Let's hear it, how can we change our mind?"

"It's like this." Wan Yanxi sighed softly, looked at Song Qiyun, and said, "I've been wandering outside for the past few years, met a lot of strange people, seen a lot of strange things, so unbelievable things, I have experienced it. About the winter of the year before last, I also encountered a similar situation. In a rich family, two brothers got sick at the same time. The elder brother unfortunately died of illness, but the younger brother was lucky enough to recover and became the head of the family. But later I found out that my elder brother did not pass away, but my younger brother. The reason why I pretended to be my younger brother was because during the process of taking the medicine, not only did he recover from his illness, but by accident, his appearance also became younger. , Those old physical problems are gone. This is a very good thing, but he has no way to explain this change to outsiders, and no one will believe that this is the effect of medicine. So, before death, think about the future, He can only tell others that the person who died was himself, and the one who survived was the younger brother." He looked at the pensive Song Qiyun, "I know this story sounds very unreliable, and it sounds like a lie, but it is It really happened. If you send someone to inquire, many local people can testify. Vice-General Song, Mr. Jin is very skilled in medicine. If you ask her to check the pulse of the person who claims to be Niu Chuang, you should be able to find some clues. Back then It was a well-known local doctor with great medical skills who noticed the exchange between the two brothers, and I believe Mr. Jin's ability can also detect the difference."

Song Qiyun stared at Wanyanxi for a long time, until Wanyanxi got hairy, and he didn't wait for the other party to speak, until the team stopped to rest, the county prince let out a sigh of relief.

"If it's as you said, you've been of great help." He patted Yan Xi's shoulder, "I will thank you very much!"

"It's good if I can help you. I don't need to thank you." Wan Yanxi smiled lightly, "I just hope to return to the Kingdom of Jin and finish Yan Ping with my hands. Apart from that, I have nothing else to ask for."
