So I play chess

Chapter 163 Headless Koan
Tongcheng became lively on the surface and secretly.

The excitement lasted for a whole day, and Master Sun was the first to notice something was wrong.

The team he sent out of the city should have returned within a day, and even if it didn't go well, there should be someone who sent a message back.

However, there was no news from the four teams.

Originally, because there was a large amount of silver and silk in deposit, in order to prevent some of them from taking advantage of the wealth and giving birth to dissent, each of Mr. Sun's teams was arranged to lead the team with many reliable confidantes whose family members were still in the mansion.

It stands to reason that there shouldn't be any variables, not to mention that four groups of people had problems at the same time.

But no matter how many should not be there, none of them came back.

Master Sun had no choice but to take advantage of the dawn of the next day to send some people to continue from the four city gates to the four directions of the southeast, northwest, and follow the route originally arranged for the first group of people, traveling lightly. Look for.

However, in the evening, none of this group of people came back.

In this way, there is nothing to say, it is obvious that something happened quietly outside Tongcheng.

Ordinarily, it should be reported to the officials at this time, but the purpose of the two groups of master sun and horses leaving the city is not pure, if they want to report to the officials, there must be a reason.

At that time, you will have to explain where the money came from and where it will go?

What's more, it's not just about money. Some people have nothing to do with Mr. Sun on the surface, and some people don't see the light.The prefect's aunt or the prefect didn't intend to be his backer in the first place, so it gave them a good opportunity to carve up themselves.

After thinking about it, I still can't report it to the official, so I have to transfer some more people, gather in one place, and look for it first.

While Mr. Sun was in a state of desperation, the other three families were also in trouble.

On the third night when the prefect's aunt fell ill, a small incident happened.

A commoner living in Beicheng came to report to the officials, saying that two dead people were found in a remote alley near his home.

Inspector Jin Wan took over the case and rushed over immediately, and sure enough, he saw two people lying there upright, with obvious sword wounds on their bodies.

Since Yang Wantang's death, there has been no such headless case in Tongcheng for some time.

Jin Wan mobilized the soldiers to seal off the alley first, and then made some investigations.

The strange thing is that these two people have the guide certificates of Tongcheng, but in the records of the four city gates gathered here, the names of these two people cannot be found, and it is not clear when they were born. Where did you enter the city from.

This case used to be a trivial matter, but now it is a major matter under Liu Zhu's rule.The relevant people in the government office put down all their original errands and discussed the matter together.

The first is the authenticity of Luyin.

The signature on the road guide was redone by Li Xun.At this time, Li Xun was missing, but the craftsman who was in charge of signatures in the hall was there, so he came to make a distinction, and concluded that the guide certificates of the two people were absolutely genuine, and there was no possibility of forgery.

Then there is only one situation left, a person who can get in touch with this thing, decides without authorization, and privately releases the guide to these two people who may not be able to tell the origin.

Everyone understands each other, who else can have such a person now?At this point, many people were either meditating or distracted, but they just didn't look at the prefect sitting in front of the hall.

The masters of Zheng, Wang, and Shi also heard some rumors at this time, and each of them secretly thought that it was not good.

In fact, according to the calculations of these three companies, this situation should not have happened.

The bad thing is that the prefect's aunt explained to the city gate officials that the convenience of the three families should be provided, regardless of seniority, only priority.No matter which family came to which city gate, as long as they gave the due share, they would all be allowed to go.

However, the historians of the Wang family controlled the three city gates in the southeast and north, and the Zheng family won't give up when they take over the west city gate, which they can't wait for a day without a single refugee.

Since you can't compete on the surface, then secretly have other thoughts.

Anyway, they were talking to the city gate officials, and the Zheng family selected their targets outside the city gate, asked them about their identity, and communicated with the city gate officials before entering the city. Give it to the visitor, and the visitor can enter the city directly with this voucher.

Those with guides and those without guides should be registered separately, and the Wang family historians only work in the places without guides, which can properly bypass them.

This was stated on the surface and found out.

There are some more important things that only some people related to the government office know.

Although the two dead people could not be revealed on the outside, there was a lot of evidence on their bodies that showed that these two were soldiers of a certain Chu army.Even a very important one.

Only Jin Wan Liu Zhu knew the details.

Anyway, when everyone was waiting for the results outside the workshop, they all heard Liu Zhu's voice from inside, and they didn't know whether it was crying or howling.

After that, after a long time, when Liu Zhu, Jin Wan and Li Mao came out together, Liu Zhu immediately ordered someone to seal the room, and no one was allowed to come closer.

Not only that, after Liu Zhu found out the probable cause and effect of this incident with extreme anger, he didn't care about any relatives or elders, and only lost his temper in the government office, saying something like "all achievements fall short", "previous efforts are wasted" and so on. .

Afterwards, he wanted to thoroughly interrogate the matter in a dignified way.

However, after he called the city gate officials from the four city gates, as well as the officials who guarded the roads for release and registration, and questioned them harshly, he got an unexpected result.

This morning, after everyone learned that the identities of the two deceased were unknown, Master Li Xun took the rosters that had been gathered at the four city gates yesterday, and had a guide to enter the city. gone.

Liu Zhu was so angry that he just asked, "Li Xun doesn't care about this kind of thing, what is he doing with it?"

After asking a sentence, everyone present thought carefully, and he also thought carefully.Yes, what is Li Xun doing with this?
Isn't that the one who was recovering from illness in Bushiju, who opened a hole for the public inspection, and came all the way to help this nephew, the eunuch, under the instruction of the eunuch's aunt Liu Niangzi?

Thinking of this, Liu Zhu was left with nothing to love, so he temporarily left everyone in the government office, and then dragged Li Mao to the back to have some in-depth discussions.

When he came out, Liu Zhu was obviously not as aggressive as he was just now, and he let Li Mao pull the officials who were in charge of entering the city by road behind him, and had a long discussion.

In the end, only one conclusion was drawn. These people were not in charge of important gates, and because of the agitation of Zheng, Wang, and Shi, they relaxed a little. They only checked the guides and did not make any records.
