Defend the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 26 You are crazy!
Unload the money and let the fake Taoist leader, Xu Haoran and others eat quickly.

Han Pingan took advantage of their time to eat, went back to the study in the inner house, and took the time to read the letter that the superintendent father asked Yinniang to bring back.

After reading the letter, the false Taoist leader and others have already eaten and drank enough.

Time was tight, Han Pingan told them not to clean up, and briefly introduced everything that happened in the next few days.

The false Taoist leader knew it a long time ago, but he didn't know so comprehensively, so he wasn't very surprised.

Xu Haoran, Huang Bowen and Yu Wangli almost dropped their jaws in shock and couldn't believe their ears.

"Why did Cao Duman want to rob and kill Han Shiyu, and why did he rebel..."

"He is the third son of Cao Wulan, but he is not loved by Cao Wulan. He will not be able to inherit the position of governor in the future. He has always been dissatisfied, so he was seduced by a Sogdian scribe named Hedam Take the risk."

Yu Wangli settled down, and asked inexplicably: "He rebelled to inherit the position of the governor of Yele, but what's the use of robbing and killing Han Shiyu?"

"It's useful. If the guess is correct, they must have robbed and killed them with their faces covered, and they are planning to blame others."

Xu Haoran thought for a while, and then said: "He may have already made preparations for Han Shiyu to lead the subordinates who had killed Han Shiyu to help our army put down the chaos after Han Shiyu encountered an accident."

The people recommended by Cui Han and Yichang Chen were indeed not bad, and they guessed the general idea so quickly.

Han Pingan secretly praised one, and said with a wry smile: "It was guessed by Xu Shaofu. After he was ready to succeed, the thief shouted to catch the thief. Under the guise of avenging my father, he snatched my father and his father before the counter-insurgency army rushed to Baisha City." Those brothers were all killed, and there will be no proof."

After all, Yu Wangli was young, and he had never been in the army before, so he still couldn't figure it out, so he asked with a blank face: "I really can't figure it out, isn't he afraid that when the counter-insurgency army arrives, they will kill him as well?"

Xu Haoran pondered and said: "Of course he is afraid, but for him, this risk is worth taking. Wealth is what we seek in danger."

Yu Wangli asked: "How do you say this?"

Han Pingan didn't explain, but still looked at Xu Haoran.

Xu Haoran found the feeling he had when he helped the military supervisor thoroughly investigate the ink corruption case and clean up military discipline, and quickly entered the state, explaining: "The reason is very simple, since it is the governor's office of Jimi, it is natural to have the governor of Jimi.

They rebelled, so we naturally have to put down the rebellion, but it is impossible to kill all the blood of King Yele. After the rebellion is over, we still have to choose an obedient Cao family to inherit the position of governor. "

Huang Bowen, who didn't want to be underestimated by Han Pingan, added: "Anxi is so big, and there are so many fanhus like the Yele tribe, but our four towns in Anxi only have more than [-] soldiers in total, so we should treat them like this." This kind of thing must be cautious. Otherwise, the other chief governors and governors of Jilin Prefecture will definitely die and be sad, and may even rebel."

Yu Wangli suddenly realized: "So that's the case, so those leaders are staring at each other."

"That's just one of them."

Xu Haoran thought for a while, and said worriedly: "If someone in the army colludes with him and helps him, then he will definitely be the governor of Yele."

Yu Wangli asked again: "Why did those people in the army help him?"

Thinking of those former colleagues, Xu Haoran said with mixed feelings: "There has been no war for several years, no matter who initiated the rebellion, as long as the rebellion is put down, the great achievement of countering the rebellion that can increase officials and ranks will be achieved. "

"It's not just a promotion." Han Ping'an looked at the letter in his hand and said with a sneer, "Cao Duman is very arrogant, and he promised to donate 50 Wen in silver when things are done."

"To whom?"

"Cao Duman didn't know either. He said that He Damu helped him get in touch with these things."

"Where are the Hedam people?" Xu Haoran asked eagerly.

"Dead, and very strange."

"What's so strange?"

Han Pingan pushed the letter in front of him, and said helplessly: "He Damu was originally captured alive by the Youyi team. Unfortunately, my father was busy with fighting the chaos at that time, so he didn't care to identify him. After he rushed to Baisha City, he was taken away with him." The other traitors were locked together, and when Cao Duman confessed and went to find him, he was found strangled to death."

Huang Bowen asked, "Who killed it?"

"At that time, only the weapons of more than 70 rebels were confiscated. They didn't even bother to tie their hands and feet. They were just locked up in a big yard like this. There was no way to investigate."

"Who is in charge of custody?"

"At that time, my father had to lead the most capable night watchmen and Youyi people to suppress them, so he had to hand over the rebels to the thirty or so frontier soldiers who rushed to Baisha City first. The leader of the team was a man named Qian Chonghou. The brigade commander, and a fire chief named Liu Sangen."

Han Pingan looked at the thoughtful false Taoist priest, and added: "On the day of Cao Duman's rebellion, the two of them were on duty in the military city. After the headache rose, they were ordered by General Li to investigate quickly. of."

Could it be that there are really ghosts in the army? No wonder "Han Sancrazy" said that what he was going to do was very dangerous...

Huang Bowen was secretly startled when he heard this, and subconsciously looked at Xu Haoran: "Brother Xu, do you recognize Qian Chonghou?"

"I have been in charge of food for several years, how could I not recognize it."

Xu Haoran thought for a while, and then said: "Back then, so many people were greedy for food and salary, but Qian Chonghou was the only one who kept himself clean. He handed in what should be handed in, and what should be handed over to his subordinates. The soldiers in the regiment loved him very much. Even the general Both Han Shiyu and Han Shiyu praised him for loving soldiers like sons."

Huang Bowen asked, "Where is that Liu Sangen?"

"Liu Sangen is very loyal and once served as General Li's personal guard."

"Han Shiyu didn't offend them, did he?"

"No, when Han Shiyu was cleaning up military discipline, the general and general Li couldn't bear to see that so many people were going to be killed, so they all went to Han Shiyu to intercede. At that time, people were really panicked, and no one dared to say a word, just Liu Sangen clapped his hands and applauded, and said to everyone he met, that he was killed well and should have been killed long ago."

Huang Bowen didn't ask any more questions, but turned to look at Han Pingan who was sitting beside him.

"This Qian Chonghou is not suspicious, and there is no way to investigate it now. But one thing is certain, if there is really an insider, his official position will not be low, at least he is a brigade commander."

Han Pingan picked up the wine gourd of the false Taoist priest, poured himself half a bowl of grape wine, and continued: "My father also mentioned one thing in the letter. Cao Duman led more than 100 rebels to try to rob and kill him. At that time, the horse team rolled up such a large amount of dust that the commander-in-chief Fengzi who was stationed on Langya Peak must have seen it, but they didn't light the wolf smoke for a long time. They didn't light it until the night watch team defeated the rebels in one fell swoop."

Only those who have served in the military know what this means.

Xu Haoran broke out in a cold sweat, he was stunned for a while before asking in a low voice: "Does the general know about these things?"

"He Dam bewitched Cao Duman to rebel. There may be ghosts in the army. How can such a big matter be hidden from the general. After all, Cao Duman has been captured alive, and he can't hide it if he wants to. But Langya Peak has been slow. About Wolf Smoke, my father didn't tell the general."

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"Because it's useless to tell the general. Although so many night watchmen and Youyi people have seen it, but there is no evidence for it, you have to show the facts."

It's not that the wolf smoke is not lit, it's just that it is lit early and late.

This man, he doesn't worry about being few, but about unevenness.

Those frontier soldiers who did not have a war to farm, but had a war to go to battle, because they were too poor, they had long envied the Night Watchmen and Youyi people, and the two sides did not deal with each other.

If this matter is really brought up in front of the general, then it will only be said that the public is right, and the mother-in-law is right. After all, there is no way to prove the time.

Thinking of this, Xu Haoran couldn't help but nodded.

Han Pingan didn't want to make unnecessary guesses, took out an account book from his arms, and gently placed it in front of them.

"Four, in fact, this case is not difficult to investigate. The reason why my father and Cui Mingfu are helpless is that the time is too short, the second is that there are too many things to do at the same time, and the third is that there are too many worries and hands are tied."

"Sanlang, this is..."

"This is the thorough investigation method I drafted, and you can just follow the above. Start with the death of Chamifatai, because the two seemingly unrelated lines of trying to murder me and my father all converge at Mifatai here."

Fearing that they would not understand, Han Pingan emphasized again: "It is said that Mifatai died at the right time, otherwise our real teacher will be unknown. Next, I will look at the four. I want to find out who he met before he died. What words, what things did...

Not only do we need to find the person who asked about it, but we also need to verify each other to see if anyone is lying, and to see if there are any contradictions in the confessions of those people.

We need to find out how many people there are in his family, how many buddies, how many apprentices, how many warriors, and what these people have been busy with in the past month.

It is necessary to find out his social relations, that is, which relatives and friends he has, and which business partners he has.To bring back his correspondence, his family's account books, as long as everything related to him is brought back!
In short, we have to investigate him to the bottom of the sky, even if there is no big harvest in his house, his accomplices will not sit still! "

I have never heard of such a case investigation. Looking at the detailed rules on the account book, the false Taoist priest who had not spoken all this time raised his head and reminded: "Sanlang, everyone said that eating persimmons is soft, but the Sogdians are not soft." persimmon."

"Fake Daoist, what are you worried about?"

"Everyone thought that this city used to belong to King Yele. In fact, this city was first built by Sogdian merchants, and it was later seized by the Yele tribe."

Afraid that "Han Sanmad" would not take it seriously, the false priest gently put the bowl aside, and emphasized: "Do you know how many Sogdians there are in the city, and how many warriors those Sogdian nobles raised?
I feel that no matter how Miphattai died, and no matter how much they wanted to find the murderer, they would not let us intervene easily. "

Because the Sogdian caravan had to travel east and west and travel north and south, ensuring the safety of goods and people must be the first priority, so they paid great attention to training warriors, and they can be said to be armed merchant groups.

Han Pingan knew that the false Taoist leader was worried about causing trouble, so he said lightly: "To be honest, I thought of this a long time ago. They will definitely obstruct tomorrow, but Cui Mingfu and Chen Yichang have long been prepared. The convened a few days ago The frontier soldiers have not been released, and General Li is still sitting on the tower."

The Sogdians either didn't make trouble, or if they did, they were far more terrifying than the Yele tribe.

They have money, food, and warriors.

Many of their clansmen served as clerks and nobles for the chiefs of the Western Regions attached to the Tang Dynasty, and there were even people in Dashi to the west of Congling, Tubo on the snow-capped mountains, Huihe in the north, and Chang'an thousands of miles away.

Beat you, they use money to make peace.

If they can't beat you, they can kill you with money.

Isn't it just buying a few tribes who are good at fighting to attack, or buying a few ministers who can favor them in the court?

The false priest had dealt with the Sogdians for most of his life and knew them too well, so he asked in surprise, "Sanlang, you mean that if they interfere, we will dispatch troops to suppress them?"

"False Daoist, have you ever thought that Mi Fatai dared to murder me and my father, and even Cao Duman, who was greedy for life and fear of death, dared to rebel, what does that mean?"

"Indicate what?"

Han Pingan clenched his fists tightly, and said through gritted teeth: "This shows that those people outside are not as afraid of us as before. At this time, we have to stand up. Otherwise, it won't be long before the second or even the first one appears." The three mifatais are full!"

What he said was powerful, resounding, and full of murderous intent...

Thinking about it carefully, this is indeed the truth.

The false priest was stunned.

Yu Wangli's blood boiled when he heard it, and Huang Bowen was thoughtful.

Xu Haoran couldn't help asking: "Sanlang, who said these words."

"As I said, both Cui Mingfu and Yichang Chen think it makes sense. The reason why they didn't come at night is because they want to report to General Li about tomorrow's Chami Fatai case. I believe General Li will also think it makes sense. "

"Sanlang, the general is also a Sogdian."

"I know, but he's not here, so we have to act fast, otherwise we won't be able to check when the general comes back."

"Sanlang, you are crazy!"

"False Daoist, I was originally a lunatic, and you didn't just meet me today."
