So I play chess

Chapter 189
"Killed?" Zhou Tong was dumbfounded, "Who killed who?"

Zhou Tong's reaction made Tang Mingyi feel even more dissatisfied: "I didn't say it clearly enough. Those who died were all servants of the Sun family. As for who killed them, it's still unknown."

"More than 100 people, all dead?" Zhou Tong asked again after regaining consciousness this time.

Tang Mingyi was a little impatient, but he could only nod his head.

Zhou Tong looked at Tang Mingyi in disbelief, and then at Wen Gu, his brows were knit together, his mouth was pouted, and his face was full of "what this little boy said is absolutely unbelievable".

Wen Gu knew what he meant, so he explained further: "Lieutenant Jin is still there and hasn't returned yet. If Commander Zhou knows the situation, he can make preparations first. I'm afraid these bandits have other plans."

After Wen Gu finished speaking to Zhou Tong, he asked Mr. Tang to work harder and tell Commander Zhou what he had just said.

Tang Mingyi had already said a lot just now, but now it was hard to refuse, so he had to tell Zhou Tong again from the beginning to the end.

The more Zhou Tong listened to it, the more he felt that it was very suspicious, but after all, he couldn't show anything, and after he finished speaking, he sincerely showed a confused look.

Tang Mingyi didn't expect this black-faced brat to have any good opinions at all. After talking with him, he had already given the young lady face. He drank two more bowls of tea to moisten his dry tongue, but he didn't even look at it. Zhou Tong, just wait for Wen Gu to speak again.

Wen Gu asked him to speak, but he just wanted Zhou Tong to listen clearly so that he could distinguish any contradictions. Seeing Zhou Tong's appearance at this time, he knew that he had no idea, so he asked again at the right time: " What do Mr. Tang think?"

Zhou Tong was relieved for the time being, so he had no choice but to give up first, and retreated to the side to sit down and let the young lady discuss with Tang Mingyi.

Tang Mingyi hadn't heard of the saying that Zhou Tong was "a general of the Liangzhou army" subdued by the prefect's aunt. He only thought that his reaction in this way was due to lack of training and seldom seen in the world. Aunt easily seized the city.At this time, I was too lazy to argue with him, so I just told Wen Gu my own analysis.

"These bandits kill people for nothing. For one thing, they obviously have more intentions, so they went to reveal their identities to Mr. Sun. Now that they have revealed their identities, it is impossible for the Tongcheng government to not know the existence of the bandits. It doesn’t involve the idea of ​​concealing whereabouts.”

Wen Gu nodded, showing his approval, and motioned for him to continue talking.

In Tang Mingyi's words, he was talking about bandits, but in fact he was thinking about his elder brother Tang Xianyao.

Since Tang Xianyao was acting as a bandit, the purpose of asking for money was definitely not for lack of money, but to inform the Tongcheng government office that the bandits did it.

Unless some of these people know his true face, there is really no need to kill people to silence him, which arouses many doubts for no reason.However, this possibility is extremely slim.

These were all Tang Mingyi had already figured out on the way back, so there was no need to spend more time thinking about it at this time, so he continued to talk later.

"Secondly, judging from the letter received by Mr. Sun, such an act of asking for money seems to be a method thought up by some rough people in the mountains, but in fact, it was carefully planned and calculated. , Ordinary bandits tend to seek quickness in their actions, but such a waste of energy seems to be deliberately pretending to be a bandit, but they have learned the superficial but not the flesh and blood."

When Zhou Tong heard this, he couldn't tell whether he was praising him or scolding him for a while, but he always felt that he had done things poorly, and someone found out the fault, so he let out a piss in his heart, but he also nodded on his face.

Naturally, Wen Gu didn't want to draw words on himself, but he couldn't ignore some obvious problems, so he had to follow his words and analyze a few sentences: "Not necessarily, bandits are not born bandits, there must be a reason .There hasn't been such a thing in Tongcheng for many years, but it's strange that there are so many people suddenly."

Tang Mingyi continued: "The third thing I want to say is exactly this. I am far inferior to Jin Wan's inspector in judging the case, but I can see some things. After listening to Jin's analysis, I generally come to this conclusion. Sun The death method of these people should be a group of people attacking together, or a few peerless masters working together to have such a result."

This is in line with Wen Gu's idea.

Wen Gu guessed in his heart that Tang Xianyao was actually Tang Xianyao, but if Tang Xianyao hadn't changed his itinerary at this time, he shouldn't be near Tongcheng, and would have gone to Lianzhou long ago.The people he stayed behind should also be preparing to enter the city in the east and south, and they definitely wouldn't go around to the north to kill a group of descendants of the Sun family who had nothing to do with them.

Apart from Tang Xianyao, Nan Yijian Cheng Wangshu should be the only master near Tongcheng at this time, but even with the girl with kung fu next to him, there are only two people, it is impossible to combine these two One thing is done like this.

But other than that, it's hard to think of any other possibilities.

Tang Mingyi didn't know what to think, so he just finished what he wanted to say: "Judging from the preliminary judgment of the inspector Jin, these people died for less than a day, and we left the city in the evening, and we came from the west, north, and east. Surrounded by detours from three sides at the same time. So whether it's a group of people or a few experts, how did they avoid so many of us?"

Wen Gu followed Tang Mingyi's wishes and finished what he hadn't said: "Unless, after they killed people, they went straight north?"

This is the most reasonable statement, but it is also the most unlikely statement.

Tang Xianyao, the dignified prince of Chu, ran all the way to Tongcheng, killed a group of servants from the rich families in the city, robbed some money, and then fled towards Liangzhou, which Beiyu had just captured.

How can this be?

However, no matter how hard it is to believe, there is no other solution for the time being. Now that the prefect aunt has asked, she always has to answer: "It may not be impossible to go north, maybe they are from the north?"

Wen Gu took advantage of the situation and asked: "Mr. Tang, what do you mean, these people are soldiers and horses of Bei Yu?"

Tang Mingyi shook his head: "The people from the north may be from Beiyu, but they may also be from other people."

Wen Gu understood what he meant, but asked knowingly, "Who are the horses?"

"Liangzhou Army." Tang Mingyi replied simply.

Wen Gu couldn't see whether he meant to test it, but he just snorted softly: "Mr. Tang may not know that the Liangzhou Army did occupy Tongcheng a month ago, but everyone in Tongcheng also knows that these people have long since I was subdued."

"Of course I've heard about the story of the eldest lady, but since these people have already retreated, they can't retreat so neatly. Or some people became bandits after seeing their failure. There are also precedents."
