Chapter 448 "The Killer"

It is not as simple as an ordinary case that allows His Majesty to intervene.

"At first I thought it was just an ordinary assassination case of the county magistrate, but I didn't expect that even His Majesty would be alarmed..." Lin Yan said with emotion, "My old Mr. Shang Fengji said it well. Addicted, but you must learn to stop in time, enough is enough, if you don't stop, you may die in a daze at some point."

Ji Chongyan didn't speak when he heard the words, but just glanced at Lin Yan, paused, and said, "Chen Wanyan is not an ordinary county magistrate, how could it be an ordinary assassination case?"

Lin Yan didn't refute this, but after thinking about it, he said, "Chongyan, I remember that Chen Wanyan has a daughter who was fostered in Chang'an City's grandfather's house..."

"He sent his daughter away because he didn't want her to get involved in these things. It's unlikely that Chen Wanyan's daughter knows the inside story." Ji Chongyan said, paused, and then said, "It's just a fluke. Yang Yan's temperament will not easily let this insider go, Yang Yan asked people, what else can we ask? If we really ask, it is something Yang Yan wants us to know, not the truth."

So you can't ask these people you can think of on the surface.

"My old Shangfeng said that if you want to live a long time, you must learn to be stupid." Lin Yan said and glanced at him, "Your Majesty told us to stop, and we should stop, at least on the surface."

Of course, it is always unwilling to stop like this, so before the person is taken away, they want to toss as much as possible to learn more about the truth.

"This Chen Wanyan..." Lin Yan didn't care whether Ji Chongyan would accost him or not, and continued, "What secret is hidden behind it?"

"The Fang family." Ji Chongyan said two words suddenly, and when Lin Yan suddenly looked up at him, he paused and said, "Zhou Fang, these things seem to be related to the old affairs of the two dynasties."

Lin Yan also agrees with this point: "Chen Wanyan is not an ordinary county magistrate since the previous dynasty. Zhou Fang assassinated him, and Zhou Fang who assassinated him was related to Miss Fang San, so... can we also say The Fang family is also related to the old affairs of the two dynasties?"

"I don't know." Regarding this, Ji Chongyan just shook his head and said, "The Fang family has lived in Jiangnan Road for a long time, and the side is rich, but it has nothing to do with the political affairs of the court."

At least, he had never discovered any relationship between the Fang family and the court before, and he has not discovered anything so far.Therefore, it made him feel a little puzzled.

"It's useless to think too much now, there are still five or six days to find Fang San who is hiding in the city as much as possible." Ji Chongyan squinted his eyes when he said this, "As for five or six days later, if no one is found , then we will talk about it when we return to Chang'an."

So what if Yang Yan takes over, since the secrets have gathered on Yang Yan alone, then keep an eye on Yang Yan.He and Miss Jiang Si had prepared a surprise for Yang Yan in Jiangnan Road before, but he didn't know about it. When they left Jiangnan Road, they would leave the surprise to Yang Yan.

……

……

The noise at the entrance of the Yancheng post station soon quieted down. Fang Zhixiu squatted in the stable behind the post station, and when she was brought out, her expression was still in a daze.

"Miss Fang San, let's go, I'll take you to find a place to wash up for a while." The refreshing woman with a turban on her head said with a smile, "Xiao Wu belongs to Miss Jiang Si, and I want to stay with Miss Jiang Si Now, so I will take you the rest of the way. You wash up first, we go to the Taniguchi station, and when the people from the imperial court take Zhou Fang through the Taniguchi station, you can meet him again."

Fang Zhixiu opened her mouth, and the question that she was about to ask came to her mouth. Somehow, she didn't know where to ask it, so that in the end, she only got a simple "um".

"I belong to Mr. Jiang, and I know Zhou Fang too, since you belong to Zhou Fang..." The brisk woman blinked at her when she said this, and Fang Zhixiu blushed suddenly, and said with a smile, " That’s my own person, don’t worry.”

Fang Zhixiu let out a "huh" again when she heard the words, and the previous scene flashed in her mind: she was taken away from the Earth Temple, and then she left the city while lying in the gun case, listening to the gun case separated from her. Mr. An was talking to the Fourth Miss Jiang, and then stopped outside the post station. The box was suddenly opened, and the Fourth Miss Jiang told her to hide in the stable behind.

The whole process is flat but intense and exciting.

It was Miss Jiang Si who dealt with it calmly, but she who was hiding in the box was afraid of everyone trembling uncontrollably, lest Mr. An would suddenly open the box on a whim.

Fortunately, An Guogong did not open the box.only……

"What did Miss Jiang Si do? Those two in the yamen are not easy to fool. They must have checked the carriage. If they find that the gun box is empty, they will know that there may be someone hiding in it." Fang Zhixiu asked the woman puzzled. People, "How did she hide it?"

"There is a silver gun in the box. How could it be empty?" The woman just smiled and shook her head, and said, "You can just call me Mrs. Ge. If Miss Fang San can't figure it out, go back and ask The Second Miss Fang is done, as the Second Miss Fang knows, the Fourth Miss Jiang is the reincarnation of a great immortal and can do magic tricks."

Fang Zhixiu: "..." Is this deliberately telling some jokes to make her happy?

"Okay, Mo Duo thought about it, we just need to trust Miss Jiang Si." Mrs. Ge said and winked at her, "Isn't it possible for someone who can steal you out of the city openly to make you believe it? "

Fang Zhixiu moved her lips: "...Yes."

"That's it!" Mrs. Ge said, handing the package in her hand to Fang Zhixiu, and said, "Let's go! Go and wash off the smell on your body. Let's go to Taniguchi Station."

……

……

As the sun was setting, in a tavern facing the street in Chang'an City, the proprietress standing behind the cabinet was fingering the abacus on the table, carefully calculating today's flow.

"Miss Boss, here are seven or eight jars of wine, seal your mouth tightly, and drink it on the road!" Several men with big knives walked into the tavern and said.

Zisu, the proprietress of the tavern who was cleaning up the running water behind the cabinet, gave an instinctive "hmm" when she heard the words, but was startled when she looked up at the men with big knives on their backs.

These five big and three thick guys have a scar that seems to be "aged" in the middle of their faces, and two have only one eye. The only pair of eyes that is not scarred or missing is cloudy and lustful. Looking right at her.

That sticky snake-like gaze made Zisu instinctively feel a little uncomfortable, and subconsciously glanced at her own clothes.

In the ordinary square-necked Ru skirt, only the part near the neck was exposed, but the man's eyes were only fixed on the exposed white skin.

It's so vicious and lustful, it's disgusting.

Zi Su frowned: since she met Lin Yan, no one dared to look at her like this for a long time.

It's just that although I felt disgusted in my heart, there was no trace of embarrassment on my face. Zisu had a faint smile on her face, but the smile didn't reach her eyes and she shouted, "Bring seven or eight jars of wine!"

The little maid, A Yuan's voice rang out immediately, and after a while, she came out from behind with the wine jar in her hand.

When the little girl, A Yuan, brought two jars of wine to those people who looked like desperadoes, A Yuan, who usually carried four or five jars of wine, which was more than enough, suddenly uttered a shriek. Shouting, with the sound of the wine jar falling to the ground, A Yuan fell into the broken pieces of the wine jar.

A group of drinkers who were drinking in the hall were startled by the sudden sound here, and they all looked here at the same time.

The five people who didn't look like good people were looking fiercely at A Yuan who fell to the ground with their hips on their hips, and cursed: "You lowly servant girl, how dare you deliberately spill wine on us, this is your Chang'an City Tavern Is it the way of hospitality?"

Zi Su's heart skipped a beat when she heard this, after all, she is not a newcomer in the industry, she is not so naive, seeing the appearance of these few, she knew in her heart: I am afraid that they just want to provoke troubles and blackmail others.

Sure enough, the next moment, A Yuan who fell on the ground cried out with a "wow": "I didn't do it on purpose, it was you, a disciple, who touched my hand just now!"

Although A Yuan is just an ordinary little maid, she has done a lot of rough daily work, but she has never been treated harshly. It never happened.Therefore, after meeting him for the first time, he panicked immediately, and the drink in his hand was not steady, so he dropped it on the ground like this.

"With your poor maid's looks like chaff, how many brothers do you like?" The lecherous man with no eyesight and scars sneered, his eyes fell on Zisu who came around from behind the cabinet, and flashed A trace of greed, "Even Lushui and his wife have to be like the proprietress..."

"Slap!" There was a soft slap, and the lustful man who was laughing wildly did not expect that Zisu would dare to do it on the spot, he was stunned, and when he recovered, he immediately raised his hand furiously and wanted to fight back , just stretched out their hands halfway, but let out a scream. Everyone looked at the hands of the Wucheng soldier Ma Si officer who suddenly appeared at the entrance of the tavern and the hands of the lecherous man who was caught by him. The normal twist angle, I don't know if it is broken or dislocated.

The two men in the official robes of Dali Temple who had already got up when Zisu had a dispute with others looked at each other, smiled, and sat down again: Lin Yan is from Beijing, so is he. Make good arrangements for people not to come over and make trouble.

It's just that Lin Yan's printed flag is hanging outside the tavern. With the level of "gossip" among the people in Chang'an City, they already know that this tavern is related to Dali Temple. That much courage?Could it be that he is also the same thoughtful foreign businessman as in the past few days?
However, the merchant from the outlandish area is still considered gentle, so if he understands it, he behaves properly, so he came to make trouble, oh no... Looking at the five-city soldiers and horses with a fierce look on his face, he didn't come to make trouble, he came to make trouble It's the first time I've seen such a person these days!

Such scars, one-eyed, lecherous and severed hands, coupled with the shining big knife behind his back and a physique that has been practicing martial arts for a long time, he really doesn't look like a good citizen who has no lawsuits... The people of Wucheng Bingmasi couldn't help seeing this Glancing at each other, Dang even asked, "Who are you guys? Do you have any status?"

Seeing this, the two scar faces immediately unwrapped their packages, took out a few ID cards from the package and handed them over.

The people from Wucheng Bingma Division checked it out: a person from Youzhou, a foreigner, a good citizen without a criminal record, is he still a businessman?
Such a scarred, one-eyed, lecherous businessman with a broken hand and a big knife on his back?The people from Wucheng Bingmasi glanced at each other: they have also maintained public security in Chang'an City for many years, and I have never seen many businessmen like this.

It's just that this official disc...is really fine.While hesitating, he helped A Yuan up and asked A Yuan to apply medicine to his hand, which was scratched by the fragments of the wine jar. Zi Su stepped back a few steps, and after reaching behind the officers and soldiers of the five city soldiers, Ma Si, he said: "These few days The person's appearance looks familiar, I saw it at Lin Shaoqing's place when I was last year, it seems that some brothers surnamed Qiu in Youzhou, who specialize in murdering and stealing goods, are being wanted now!"

Her memory is not bad, and the characteristics of these people are really obvious, and the figures of these people are more or less similar, and the Youzhou accent quickly reminded her of these people.

Zi Su looked at the troublemakers with a changed face, and said, "If the business of killing people and stealing goods is considered a serious business, it is not false to say that they are merchants."

As soon as these words came out, there was booing in the hall, and the officers and soldiers of Wucheng Bingmasi drew their swords and pointed at those people.

The commander of the officers and soldiers who just made the lecherous man lose his hand narrowed his eyes and said, "Go to Dali Temple and ask if there are any of these people."

"It seems to be there." The two officials of Dali Temple who wanted to get up just now by the window got up and walked over when Zisu spoke, "I have some impressions that these people look very conspicuous, they seem to be the Qiu brothers. , Of course, you can find out when you take it to Dali Temple Prison."

If you have an impression, you can catch people first. Several officers and soldiers winked at each other, and the moment the two scarred faces pulled out the sword behind them, they immediately did it. The provocateur has already been captured by the officers and soldiers.

How dare you make trouble with this amount of effort?All the drinkers shook their heads "tsk tsk" watching.

The few people who had been maliciously provoking before were arrested and immediately begged for mercy. They didn't even need to go to Dali Temple to check, and they readily admitted that they were the Qiu brothers.

The two civil servants of Dali Temple were very puzzled when they heard the words: "Since you are the brothers of the Qiu family, where did you get the officials?"

The official seal on the official plate of this identity does not seem to be fake, not to mention the soldiers and horses of the five cities, even their Dali Temple, who is good at picking things, didn't see anything wrong with the official plate for a while.

"Creating official records is a serious crime. You and others are already guilty of living. Adding the crime of privately creating official records, it is estimated that the crime of implicating the Nine Clans can also be hooked." The two officials of Dali Temple looked at each other. With one glance, he decided to scam them.

The Qiu brothers panicked immediately when they heard the words, if they implicate the nine clans, wouldn't they even implicate their own mother and children?So without even thinking about it, he sold out the person who made the official dish privately.

"Miss Su Er bought it for us!" The lustful man who lost his hand immediately yelled, "She asked us to go to a place called Baoling on Jiangnan Road and kill the fat lady from Bo Jiang's family in Dongping!"

It's just that they didn't realize it, the group of people "died before leaving the capital" just after buying a drink.
