The most ferocious sword of the Imperial City Division

Wu Jiang pretended to be scared when he heard this, and raised his hand to Han Shiyan, "Uncle Han, please show your respect. If I get whipped, who will go to the Northern Dynasties with you!"

Han Shiyan shook his head speechlessly. He touched in his arms and took out a map, which he spread out on his lap.

"Gu Shiwei, come and see, this place is our Yong Dynasty. This place is Bianjing. We are heading north all the way. After crossing the border, we will reach the Northern Dynasty. The Northern Dynasty has strong soldiers and horses, so it is a powerful enemy. "

"The Yong Dynasty is currently in a fierce war with the Xia Kingdom to the west. The despicable Northern Dynasty took the opportunity to send an envoy Liu Fu to cede territory, otherwise Dayong will fight on two fronts."

"Officials are hesitant about doing things. When there are major issues, they usually ask the prime ministers and ministers to discuss them first, and then fight in the morning. Whether to negotiate or not has not been decided before. It was not until yesterday that the imperial examination fraud case came out that the officials suddenly let out the news and wanted to send someone. Envoy Liao..."

"I think what you said earlier was correct. Our investigation of the case is very close to the truth. Now that the Gu family's curtain has been torn off, if we are given another ten days and a half, we will definitely go straight to Huanglong."

When Han Shiyan said this, he glanced at Gu Shinwei, his eyes full of respect.

When he was reorganizing the case at home last night, he suddenly discovered that he and Gu Shiwei had just met in spring, and now before spring, they had already done things together that no one else could do in three or five years!

He used to feel that this life was extremely short, and there were many things he wanted to do but it was too late.

But now with Gu Shiwei, this life seems to have endless possibilities.

Han Shiyan suppressed the turbulence in his heart, and suddenly felt uncomfortable when he remembered Chang Guan's thunderous words yesterday.

He shook his head and traced the map with his finger, "We will go all the way north from Bianjing, pass through Xingzhou to Zhending Mansion, and enter the Northern Dynasties at the border. Have you seen Xingzhou?"

Han Shiyan tapped his fingers on Xingzhou.

Gu Shenwei's eyes moved and he immediately understood Han Shiyan's intention, "Although we have left Bianjing City, we may not be able to continue investigating the case. The batch of ordnance in the weapon-breaking case took the same route as us and was sent to the border. . Xingzhou is the key place."

She thought and added silently in her heart.

But it wasn't just a weapon-severing case, she just wanted to investigate the cause of Ma Hongying's death. What exactly happened to her and Wu Jiang in that war, why it led to the destruction of the entire army, and why Wu Jiang has been avoiding it until now.

Because she always suspected that the Mianjin girl who could hide the body under the carriage in the temple and prevent the horse from moving was probably a member of the Ma family who was good at controlling animals.

"That's right!" Han Shiyan took over Gu Shiwei's words. He pulled out a wooden box from under the carriage base and pushed it between the three of them.

"This is a copy of the files on the weapon-breaking case and the tax bank case..." He said, thinking that Wu Jiang didn't know much about these two cases, and explained, "You can take a look at the weapon-breaking case. , you will know why Chen Shenji insisted on killing Li Zhenxian."

"In the weapon-breaking case, the official of Li Zhenxian's court was responsible for accepting this batch of weapons. The swords made by Izumo Sword House and the Qianji Chen family's crossbows were all transported to the border through Li Zhenxian's hands."

Wu Jiang glanced at the thick pile of files, grinned bitterly, and pointed to his nose.

"Brother Shi Yan, Gu relatives, you four have sharp eyes. Do you think I, Old Wu, is the kind of person who studies files? You see, my name, Wu Jiang, Wu Jiang, Military General, has been decided since I was born. He’s a brainless guy but he can fight!”

Gu Shiwei repeated after him that Wu Jiang's name really matched the sound of military commander.

Han Shiyan rolled his eyes at Wu Jiang, "You can't use your brain, just think about these crooked things." He said, not bothering to pay attention to Wu Jiang, and continued to talk about the weapon-severing case, "When the weapons were handed over to Li Zhenxian, they must have been genuine. There is no doubt that the goods are there. It is far different from the Emperor Tiangao in the case of severed weapons. This batch of ordnance set off from Bianjing to Beiguan."

"The Qianji Chen family has been manufacturing crossbow machines for the imperial court all year round. They are very familiar with the process and keep a close eye on the process. Li Zhenxian accepted it in full view of the public, sealed it, and handed it over directly to Cao La, the officer escorting the ordnance."

"Li Zhenxian shirked responsibility and killed the Qianji Chen family. Originally, the case was going to end like this, but Gu Yudai vigorously pursued the investigation and finally found Xingzhou and Cao La."

Hearing Han Shiyan mention his father, Gu Shiwei sat up slightly.

She was young at that time, and her father never told her good things but not bad things. She didn't know the specific details of the weapon-severing case at first, but she investigated the details later in order to find out the truth. It's just that her identity was not clear at that time, so she couldn't come to Bianjing to see the sealed files.

Seeing that Han Shiyan had already reached this point, he simply explained the general contents of the dossier.

"Gu Yudai's name is not mentioned in the file, nor is there any mention of his role in this case. All we can see is Cao La's confession. According to his and other soldiers who were escorted at the time, Confession, a strange thing happened when they arrived in Xingzhou."

When they heard the word "strange things", Gu Shinwei and Wu Jiang's eyes widened instantly. They looked at Han Shiyan in tacit understanding, their eyes shining.

Han Shiyan looked at them, one with a head and two big ones.

He resisted the urge to flick each of the two big heads. He did not sell out: "When they were traveling to Xingzhou, they arrived at a place called Songmaoling. The mountain was not very high. It was By not taking any detours.”

"After arriving at the ridge, we met a tea shed. There was a tea seller in the tea shed. She was very beautiful."

"At that time, Cao La's adjutant was named Chu Ying. Chu Ying persuaded Cao La that it was a lie to say that there was a beautiful girl living alone in this mountainous place. However, Cao La was fascinated by the beauty and refused to listen to the advice. He rested in a tea shed and drank. Chu Ying was the only one who was cautious about not having access to the tea there."

"According to Chu Ying's confession, they all became delirious after taking it. Some cried and some laughed wildly. The scene was very strange at the time, and they looked like they were possessed by evil spirits."

"Chu Ying wanted to look for the girl selling tea, but the girl disappeared. Suddenly a thick fog appeared on the pine fur collar, and the surroundings were suddenly full of elegant sparrows. Chu Ying thought they had encountered an evil sect. He took the black dog's blood from his horse and sprayed it in Cao La's face, but it had no effect."

When Han Shiyan said this, he was interrupted by Wu Jiang's colleague Gu Shiwei, "Black dog blood?"

Who on earth carries black dog blood with them when they go out on business?

Gu Shiwei thought silently, are there any normal people in this Great Yong Dynasty?

"Why doesn't he have black donkey hooves? Why can he just throw them in the tea girl's face!"

Han Shiyan hesitated for a moment and said in a somewhat difficult-to-speak manner, "He really took it! He even threw it away! Not only that, he also danced around the group of people!"

There was silence in the carriage for a moment, and then Wu Jiang's thunderous laughter rang out.

Han Shiyan glared at him angrily, and Wu Jiang immediately covered his mouth when he remembered that they were still in the mission and that useless baggage had been stuffed in.

"Then what? If Chu Ying was awake, they wouldn't be able to swap the weapons, right?" Gu Shiwei calmed down and asked. (End of chapter)
