After rebirth, Bai Yueguang's abandoned wife is soft and unstoppable

Chapter 68 Discovering New Clues

In addition to several thousand Liu family troops on Jifeng Mountain, there are also two thousand family members who are not subject to military regulations, scattered on various hills.

When the investigation was completed, another five days had passed.

Yu Cheng went down the mountain to report his safety and brought back a letter written by Lu Fang.

Lu Fang said in a letter that Qian Heizi, the leader of the bandits in Tongchi Mountain, was found in the prison in Guoan County near Mengqiaoyi.

Qian Heizi confessed that after committing the crime, he had no choice but to hide in the Guoan County Prison in order to avoid being chased and killed.

On the night of the first day of the first lunar month in the seventh year of Zhengde, someone went to Tongchi Mountain and paid a lot of money to try to arrive at Mengqiao Post on the third day of the first lunar month to intercept and kill Yushi Antai.

Then, they gathered all the brothers in the mountain, a total of 75 people, and followed that person through Jifeng Mountain to lie in ambush near Mengqiaoyi.

When they arrived, they found that there were only two people on the other side, so they only sent thirty brothers to commit the crime.

Later, it was discovered that one of them was very skilled, so he sent [-] more and took a handful of drugs before taking him down.

However, just when they were about to succeed, another group of people came, with extraordinary martial arts skills, killing them was like chopping melons and vegetables.

In order to save their lives, Qian Heizi and several of his subordinates had no choice but to run away.

Because Tongchi Mountain has always followed the rules and does not ask the identity and origin of the donor, so Qian Heizi does not know the identity of the person who paid the money.

All he knew was that the man was acquainted with Luo Yang, the fifth son-in-law of the old general Liu Ang on Jifeng Mountain. He was wearing a pair of official boots and had a mole on his left forehead.

The couple then told Liu Ang the new clue given by Lu Fang.

Liu Jiajun gathered people who were acquainted with Luo Yang together for interrogation, and asked a middle-aged man named Peng Chang that the man with the mole on his forehead was called Tan Gong.

Tan Gong is in his early thirties and is the captain of Guijun. His father Tan Bang is under the command of King Gui and is currently a member of the Ministry of War.

All the clues point to King Gui, why does he still cry out for injustice in front of the emperor, clamoring to reverse the case?
Who is the "other group" mentioned in Lu Fang's letter?

Shangguan Yuan said that when he woke up, he found corpses all around him, and each corpse had a fatal wound from his gun on either the throat or the chest.

And the gun was in his hand.

He was also surprised at the time that he killed so many gangsters after being drugged.

In the letter, Lu Fang was vague about whether An Tai was still alive.

Shangguan Yuan was confused.

If Antai is not dead, how can the string of bells be explained?

If An Tai was still alive, why didn't he return to Beijing to return to his command?
This is not in line with his usual character.

"However, many inferences imply that the beggar who gave Liu Songzhu the dagger may be my father. Maybe he has some last resort?"

"The dagger may have been dropped in self-defense, but the bell was a personal possession. How does that explain it?"

Qianru couldn't refute Shangguanyuan, so she had to organize the newly obtained clues into a document and hand it to Yu Cheng to bring to Lu Fang.

In a flash, they had been delayed on the mountain for half a month.

Liu Jiajun couldn't find any more clues here, but the calls for fulfilling the promise of recruiting security were getting louder and louder.

So, Liu Ang sent them to ask Shangguanyuan to return to the capital to prepare for the recruitment, leaving Qianru to continue investigating the case in Jifengshan, in fact, as a hostage.

Qianru was afraid that Shangguanyuan would be hesitant and self-defeating, so she readily agreed.

But after sending him away, he regretted it.

The life on the mountain was deserted and lonely, and it was hard for no one to fight and argue.

Fortunately, Liu's army has been on the mountain for nearly 20 years and still has strict military discipline, and it is considered safe to live there.

In order not to waste time, she wandered around the houses of Liu Songju and Liu Songhe every day, searching every corner carefully, eager to find more clues.

Unexpectedly, Tian Suiren found a clue unexpectedly.

Liu Songju lived in a wooden house on stilts, and the thing was wrapped in sheepskin and hung under the wooden boards at the foot of the main room.

What a wit!
It was the first time Qianru discovered that there were still people hiding things like this.

There were several letters wrapped in the sheepskin, all of which were letters written by Changsun Ji to Liu Songju. In addition to the negotiation on recruiting security, the content also asked Liu Songju to get rid of Shangguanyuan and An Qianru.

And the latest letter was written on the day they left the capital.

Finally grasped Changsun Ji's handle.

She was ecstatic, and while there was no one around, she hurriedly hid the letter in her sleeve, and then continued to search as usual.

Liu Songju seems to like to use this hanging method to hide things.

On the second day, Qianru found a lot of jewelry under her bed.

Pearl chains, hairpins, bracelets, earrings, and more.

A woman has all these commonplaces, why should she hide under the bed board?

Thinking that her family knew her family better, she asked Liu Tang to have a look.

The kid was also stunned, but just out of joy at seeing the belongings, he tore down the bed board with a clatter, and then collected all of them into his arms.

"Did these jewelry come from a wrong place, so she hid it underneath?"

"Why do you care so much? You found the thing, so it's your share." After finishing speaking, he took out an unremarkable hairpin from his bosom and stuffed it to her.

"That's all?"

"That's enough. I've collected too many crooked things. Aren't you afraid that Shangguan Yuan will come back and doubt you?"

It was about the day before yesterday that I tasted the sweetness.

The next day, Liu Tang also came to search with her.

From the seams of the floor to the beams and the roof, every corner was carefully searched several times.

After searching Liu Songju's place, I went to search another wooden house, which was very dusty and covered with spider silk.

"Whose house is this? Why don't we come in?"

"Idiot." After mocking Liu Tang told her that this is Luo Yang's residence.

"Why doesn't he live with Liu Songhe? Could it be that their husband and wife have a bad relationship?"

"If your husband is addicted to gambling all day long, will your relationship be better?"

After all, Liu Tang lost interest in searching here, and after searching for a while, he was about to leave.

Qianru hurriedly stopped him and asked him to find the beams and roof before leaving.

I didn't expect that something was really there, but it was not on the beams, but in the cracks between the planks of the roof.

It is a letter written to Luo Yang about meritorious service.

The letter stated that as long as Luo Yang helped to discuss meritorious service and recruit Liu Jiajun, he would be rewarded with 1 taels.

There are also detailed plans.

Including planning to win over Liu Songju's mother and son, killing stubborn Liu Ang, Liu Yi, Liu Songzhu, and Liu Songlan who is useless and so on.

Qianru was extremely indignant even an outsider saw it, but Liu Tang didn't take it seriously, and didn't have any mood swings at all.

"You don't want to scold him a few words?"

"I don't think it's strange that a person who loses money and can even steal and sell his own children has this kind of business with others."

After listening to Liu Tang's words, Qianru suddenly understood why Liu Songzhu wanted to burn that skeleton.

The story behind it is really embarrassing!
However, this discovery made Liu Tang suddenly enlightened. He pulled out his dagger and searched for all the cracks that could be pried open. He found dozens of silver notes one after another, totaling as much as 5000 taels.

Liu Tang had never seen a bank note before, so he thought it was an IOU and dismissed it.

After knowing that these papers can be exchanged for 5000 taels of snowflake silver, the two eyeballs almost fell out of shock.

Just when he was doubtful, a masked man with gray hair broke in suddenly and took away all the bank notes.
