People are in Zhenguan, solving crimes scientifically

Chapter 226 Lin Feng’s third trump card! Another force enters the game!

"Report to Lin Si Zheng, there is new information coming back."

In the room with flickering candlelight, the man in black rushed into the room again. He showed excitement and said quickly: "The Du family's men have arrived at the inn, and when they arrived at the inn, most of the people from the Four Elephants organization were inside the inn. There were only a few people guarding the door, so the Du family made a quick decision and directly attacked the Sixiang members who were guarding the door, then surrounded the inn and fired rockets directly into the inn."

"Now some rooms in the inn have begun to be set on fire. If nothing goes wrong, the entire inn will soon be engulfed in flames... The Du family closed the door of the inn, and nailed the door and windows of the inn with wooden boards and nails. At the same time, many people were arranged to guard the gate. They should trap the people of the Four Elephant Organization directly in the inn and let them burn them alive! When the intelligence came, the Four Elephant Organization had already begun to rush to the door. But the inn door has not been opened yet.”

The man in black spoke concisely and clearly about the current situation of the inn.

Everyone in the room couldn't help but light up their eyes and look happy after hearing this.

Zhao Xieyang couldn't help waving his fists and said with joy: "The Du family is really decisive. They will kill you when they take action... Attack with fire and seal all the exits. Now it's better. There is no way to go to the sky and to the earth." No way, these thieves are definitely dead!"

Zhao Shiwu, who had experienced the battlefield in person, could not help but smack his lips and said: "When you arrive at the scene, you quickly make a plan based on the situation on the scene... sneak attack, fire attack, and at the same time, block the enemy's way out... This is on the battlefield , is also a commendable method, this Du family is indeed a great family, it seems that there are generals in the family."

Sun Fujia couldn't help but nodded repeatedly. He looked at Lin Feng and said with a smile: "Zide, it is as you said, the Du family will surprise us."

Lin Feng held the warm tea cup in both hands, with no surprise on his face. It seemed that all this had been expected by him. He said with emotion: "This is the strength that a big family can unleash when they feel a crisis."

Sun Fuga nodded and said: "Indeed, the aristocratic families have enough financial resources and rich knowledge to cultivate their descendants, and have enough time to accumulate strength. At the same time, they will intermarry with each other and marry each other, making each other's forces intertwined and competing with each other. At the same time, they will support each other, so once you offend a big family, if you can't destroy them quickly, then it will be more difficult than you imagine until the big family really mobilizes their connections and other resources before trying to move them."

Therefore, by letting the Du family face the crisis and forcing the Du family to show their strength, Lin Feng can have a clear understanding of the Du family's strength. In the future, he can know himself and the enemy when fighting against the Jinchai inheritance family.

Sun Fujia understood this, so he told Lin Feng about the troubles of the aristocratic family, and let Lin Feng understand that dealing with the Du family would be very troublesome if he could not cut through the mess quickly... This is a common problem among the aristocratic families, and it is also why Li Shimin clearly did not The reason why the aristocratic family is happy, but it can only support the poor families through the imperial examination, slowly weakening the aristocratic family.

Listening to Zhao Xieyang's story, Lin Feng and Sun Fujia couldn't help but look at each other again.

Sun Fuga looked at Zhao Xieyang and asked, "Is there anything special about this Du Cheng?"

With the ability of the Du family in Shenshan County, let alone Du Cheng running away from home, I am afraid that the Du family will know clearly where he went and who he met as soon as he walked out of the door.

Lin Feng gently rubbed the tea cup with his fingertips, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "This Du Cheng, I really want to meet him."

As for where, who, and what the purpose was, Lin Feng was not sure.

It wasn't until this moment that Sun Fujia understood Lin Feng's intention to drag the Du family into trouble.

After saying that, Lin Feng raised his head and looked at the man in black and said: "You said that the number of Four Elephants members in the inn is about five hundred, but there is a difference of two hundred people."

Lin Feng thought for a moment, then looked at the man in black and said, "How many people have been sent by the Du family? How many people do the Four Elephants organization have?"

Zhao Xieyang said quickly: "Ducheng, the third son of the Du family, is a very special person in the Du family. The Du family is a family of great Confucians. Everyone in the family takes it as their mission to become great Confucians through reading. But this Du Cheng has not liked reading books by saints since he was a child. He only wants to read books by saints." I like to read books on the art of war, and I also like martial arts. When I was seven years old, in order to practice martial arts, I secretly left the Du family for three years to learn martial arts."

Zhao Xieyang said: "Ducheng lives in seclusion and doesn't travel much. Even the lower officials have not seen him very often. However, it is rumored that he has great military skills and tactics. He has great martial arts skills and few enemies. So he personally led his people to deal with these thieves. These The end of the thieves may really be coming."

"That is to say, there is not much time for the Du family. Otherwise, after the Du family truly mobilizes all its resources, it will definitely have a power that is several times or even dozens of times more terrifying than it is now."

"Ducheng?" When Zhao Xieyang heard the name, he showed a look of surprise: "No wonder the Du family acted so decisively. If it was him, it would be normal."

Where has Du Cheng been in the past three years? Who did you learn from?
After returning, Du Ming's attitude was also very interesting... He didn't care at all about his son's behavior of running away from home for three years, and there was not even a superficial punishment. In a Confucian family like the Du family, which values ​​​​the rules, this incident itself is Totally unreasonable.

In an instant, Zhao Xieyang, who was originally full of excitement, suddenly froze on the spot. His eyes widened suddenly and his pupils began to beat violently.

"As for the Du family, a total of 350 people were sent to protect the hospital, led by Du Cheng, the third son of the Du family."

"Now Du Cheng has left the army, and there are rumors that Du Cheng will rush to the military camp to start as a soldier and open up a path for the Du family to become a general."

Lin Feng glanced at Zhao Xieyang and others, and said in a low voice: "Where have these two hundred people gone?"

But in short, Du Ming must be so secretive, there must be some hidden secret.

After all, the Du family is the second echelon of aristocratic families besides the seven sects and five surnames. Outsiders have no way of knowing how much hidden strength they have.

Both of them heard something unusual.

The man in black hurriedly said: "The people from the Four Elephants Organization are all trapped in the inn. The exact number of people cannot be determined, but there should be more than 500 people."

Lin Feng saw everyone's changed expressions and continued: "There are only two possibilities."

Lin Feng and Sun Fujia looked at each other, and they both saw a look of solemnity in each other's eyes.

Lin Feng's eyes flashed as he listened to Zhao Xieyang's excited words. It seemed that the Du family was constantly promoting Du Cheng. Was this because they wanted to turn Du Cheng into a symbol of the Du family?
He said slowly: "When we left Linshui County, we discovered the number of horses on the road we took. From the number of horses, we can roughly estimate the number of people in the Four Elephants organization who are chasing me."

"Either Jin Fenglu and the others showed their might and killed twice as many of their enemies in the inn, or..."

"...There are two hundred people who did not participate in tonight's battle at all. They were hidden by the leader of the Four Elephants Organization in case of an accident!"

Zhao Shiwu and Sun Fuga were also shocked at this moment, and their expressions changed greatly.

"So, we can know that the number of enemies is close to a thousand. They sent a hundred people to the city gate tonight, but they were stopped by the people from the Yamen and had no chance to go back."

Then, the so-called three years away from home is worth talking about.

The aristocratic family is not easy to move. If it is not handled well, it will shake the stability of the entire Tang Dynasty.

It is not unusual for Du Cheng to appear in the Du family. The forest is big, and there are all kinds of birds... It's just that Du Cheng, a seven-year-old boy, can run away from home and study directly with his master for three years, while Du Cheng I can't find him at all, which is a bit unbelievable.

"I said at the time that from that moment on, the moment we knew the number of enemies, victory was already tilted in our favor... This is the advantage of information difference. We already know ourselves and the enemy."

"When I came back three years later, my martial arts skills were already incomparable... The Du family was very angry about Du Cheng practicing martial arts and running away from home, and wanted to deal with it according to family law. Fortunately, the head of the Du family, Du Ming, was open-minded and didn't care about it. Instead, he thought that Du Cheng had taken a second path for the Du family, so he overcame everyone's opinions and began to find masters in the art of war to teach Du Cheng, and to find people with strong martial arts skills to teach Du Cheng."

Based on this, Lin Feng couldn't help but have a bold guess in his mind... Maybe Du Cheng was ordered by Du Ming to run away from home. In other words, the so-called running away from home was an illusion. Du Cheng was probably sent to a certain place by Du Ming. place, or someone.

"The remaining 900 people attacked the inn, and there were more than 100 dead soldiers from the Western Regions Caravan and Jin Fenglu in the inn. How could they consume the same number or even more members of the Four Elephants, so the people of the Four Elephants organization probably should There are still more than 700 people left, but now..."

"interesting."

Therefore, it is impossible for the Du family not to know where he went.

Lin Feng not only wanted to use the Du family to deal with the Four Symbols organization, but also wanted to take this opportunity to find out the Du family's background.

"You said..." Lin Feng lowered his voice, giving people a feeling of panic, and said slowly: "What kind of situation will it be?"

The eyes of Zhao Xieyang and others kept flashing with thoughts, and their expressions changed again and again.

Sun Fujia frowned and said in a heavy tone: "Jin Fenglu and the others were deceived by you. They had no idea what kind of enemies they would encounter before the incident, and the people from the Four Elephants organization unexpectedly launched a surprise attack. In this case, Jin Fenglu and the others were not fully prepared at all, on the contrary, it was the people from the Four Elephants Organization who were fully prepared."

"And Jin Fenglu and the others don't have any advantage they can rely on. In this case, they can exchange one for one. I think they are capable enough. If they want to exchange one for two, or even more... the probability is not high."

"In addition, the people of the Four Elephants Organization have always been known for their cunning and cautiousness. They will prepare for accidents and arrange for some people to hide in secret. It is very possible!"

"Because of all kinds of..."

Sun Fujia looked at Lin Feng solemnly and said, "If nothing else, there is probably a force of at least two hundred people hidden outside the inn."

Listening to Sun Fujia's words, Zhao Xieyang and Zhao Shiwu couldn't help but feel their scalps numb and goosebumps all over their bodies.

It seemed to them that it was a simple matter of sitting on a mountain and watching a tiger fight, but they never thought that there would be so many calculations.

Zhao Fifteen took a deep breath and said: "The Four Elephants organization already has an absolute advantage in numbers, but they are still so cautious in their calculations. They are really too cautious."

Zhao Xieyang couldn't help but said: "If there are really two hundred people hiding outside, and they suddenly attack the Du family at this time, the Du family will be in chaos. At this time, if the thieves trapped in the inn seize the opportunity, they will extremely If it is possible to break out of the inn, then the Du family will be far smaller in number than the enemy, and I am afraid they will face the crisis of destruction!"

"Once the Du family cannot bear it anymore..." Zhao Xieyang couldn't help but look at Lin Feng, his face turned pale and said: "Then there will be no force in Shenshan County to protect us, and we will be really in danger."

Everyone in the room was very aware of the current situation.

As the first family in Shenshan County, the Du family is the most powerful, with a security force of more than 350 people, which already exceeds that of the county government.

Therefore, the Du family must not make any mistakes. Once the Du family's power is destroyed, they will definitely not end well.

Thinking of this, everyone's hearts became heavier and heavier. Lin Feng had already considered everything to the extreme, from using the power of merchants in the Western Regions to forcing the Du family to go all out. Only then did they have the advantageous situation they have now. But who knew... something unexpected happened. .

Lin Feng glanced at the heavy-faced people, suddenly laughed, and said: "What? Is this difficult for you?"

"What?" When everyone heard the voice, they subconsciously raised their heads and looked at Lin Feng.

Then he saw Lin Feng take a sip of tea, feeling the salty aroma of the tea filling his mouth. Lin Feng slowly said: "When fighting against an enemy like the Four Elephants Organization, it is normal to encounter unexpected events."

"Normal plans can't keep up with changes, let alone the cunning Four Elephants organization. So it's only normal if there are accidents, and it's only worthy of our vigilance if there are no accidents."

"Not to mention, the accident in front of us has been noticed by us, so it is not a surprise."

Sun Fujia knew Lin Feng best. When he heard Lin Feng's words, he immediately realized something.

He couldn't help but said with great expectation: "Zide, have you considered this?"

When Zhao Xieyang and Zhao Shiwu heard this, they quickly looked at Lin Feng.

Lin Feng smiled: "I did guess that with their cunning, they would have some strength left to deal with sudden accidents...but I can't guarantee that guess."

"But now, because we have mastered the number of enemies in advance, it is now enough to completely determine what they will do. Knowing what the enemies are going to do gives us the opportunity to deal with it."

Zhao Xieyang quickly said: "What opportunity?"

"Block the opportunity of these two hundred people."

"Could it be..." Zhao Xieyang guessed: "Lin Temple is about to use people from the Yamen? Are you going to transfer them all to the inn? Although there are less than a hundred people in the Yamen, it can still be done to stop these people for a period of time, but not I know it’s not too late yet.”

Lin Feng shook his head: "They are not from the Yamen... I must ensure that the city gate is in my hands. I can't touch any of these people from the Yamen. Only if they guard the city gate can I rest assured."

"Not from the Yamen?" Zhao Xieyang frowned. He racked his brains and thought, but he couldn't think of anyone else Lin Feng could find to help. He couldn't think of any other force in Shenshan County that was not weak. of military strength.

Shenshan County is not a big county, with a population of only tens of thousands. Apart from the Yamen, the strongest family is the Du family, and the second largest is Jin Fenglu. Apart from them, there are no other big families or forces.

Moreover, Lin Feng had been investigating the case all day, and apart from these people, he had not contacted anyone else, so where else could Lin Feng get help?
Does Lin Feng have any hidden friends in Shenshan County?

Zhao Xieyang couldn't figure it out, and Sun Fujia and Zhao Shiwu couldn't figure it out either.

Moreover, they knew Lin Feng better and knew that it was Lin Feng's first time in Shenshan County and there was no one he knew at all.

In this case, it was impossible for Lin Feng to find other helpers without telling them.

At this moment, everyone looked at Lin Feng with doubts.

Lin Feng met their confused gazes, the corners of his mouth curled up, and he said meaningfully: "In fact, you all know my helper."

"We all know each other?"

Everyone was startled.

Sun Fujia's brain quickly recalled all the people he had met today. Suddenly, he didn't know what he thought of, and a look of astonishment appeared on his face, and he said: "Could it be... An Shen, the shopkeeper of Miaochun Yuan?"

"what?"

"Anshen!?"

Zhao Xieyang and Zhao Shiwu were both stunned.

"Sure enough, the person who knows me is none other than Dr. Sun."

Lin Feng nodded with a smile and said, "That's right, it's Shopkeeper An."

"How could it be him?"

Zhao Xieyang was full of surprises. After all, Anshen was very mysterious. When Lin Feng questioned him, he showed an attitude that made Zhao Xieyang very suspicious. This made Zhao Xieyang once think that Anshen was the real murderer, and almost made an unjust and false case.

Although it was finally confirmed that the real culprit was Jin Fenglu, it did not prevent Zhao Xieyang from being wary and unkind to An Shen. After all, An Shen was too mysterious and his attitude was too flamboyant.

"Why couldn't it be him?" Lin Feng said with a smile.

"He...why would he be willing to help Lin Si Zheng?" Zhao Xieyang couldn't help but ask.

Lin Feng smiled and said directly without any further pretense: "An Shen is your Majesty's servant, why don't you want to help me?"

"What? His Majesty's people!?" Zhao Xieyang's eyes widened suddenly, with a look of surprise on his face.

Sun Fuga also showed an unexpected expression.

Lin Feng looked at them and said slowly: "Anshen showed that he recognized me when he saw me, and after I exposed his explanation as a lie, he told the truth because of the case that happened in Shenshan County. , he was afraid that if I knew that he had seen me or my portrait, it would cause unnecessary trouble, so he hid it."

"However, this explanation cannot actually fully explain his behavior. According to what he said, he was afraid of causing unnecessary trouble and told lies... Then why didn't he just pretend not to know me? As long as he didn't tell me He doesn’t need to explain his identity at all. Without an explanation, he will naturally not be paid attention to by me.”

After listening to Lin Feng's words, Zhao Xieyang suddenly reacted: "Yes, he really wants to avoid causing trouble, and pretending not to know Lin Si is the best way...Why didn't I notice this?"

Lin Feng smiled and said: "An Shen is the only brothel owner in Shenshan County. He can open a brothel in Shenshan County and establish a firm foothold. It is impossible without some brains, so it is impossible for him to not think of this."

"So, I realized at that time that he did this on purpose. He deliberately recognized my identity and deliberately gave this flawed explanation in order to get me to pay attention to him."

"And if he is hostile to me, it will be too late for him to hide himself. Just like Jin Fenglu, he will try his best to distance himself from Cuiyun and try to make me ignore him... Therefore, An Shen did this deliberately. Only One possibility is that he is not hostile to me, but has good intentions toward me, which is why I pay attention to him."

"It just so happened that before that..." Lin Feng looked at Zhao Xieyang and said, "You also told me that the county magistrate won't let you cause trouble for Anshen. I asked Shi Shi to ask the county magistrate directly and learned that it was from above. People are suggesting that the county magistrate did this..."

"Contacting all these key information, it is not difficult for me to conclude that Anshen is definitely related to the imperial court, and is probably ordered to hide here."

"Then...I secretly met An Shen."

Zhao Xieyang couldn't help but open his mouth in surprise. He clearly met An Shen with Lin Feng and knew all the information about An Shen, but why didn't he think about this at all?

They are both human beings. Is the gap between him and Lin Feng that big?
"What's the result?" Sun Fuga seemed to realize something and asked quickly.

Lin Feng looked at Sun Fujia with deep meaning and said: "As a result, I obtained An Shen's self-destruction identity and learned his true identity. He is indeed a member of the imperial court, and even someone directly arranged by His Majesty. As for his mission, what is his mission?" , then it cannot be disclosed.”

Although Lin Feng said he couldn't reveal it, Sun Fujia had already realized something... This Anshen, as expected, was probably specifically keeping an eye on the Du family.

The aristocratic families are powerful and intertwined and cannot be easily moved, but His Majesty is wary of them. Even if he cannot move them, he must always keep track of their movements.

Therefore, for a second-tier aristocratic family like the Du family, it is normal for Li Shimin to send people to spy on them.

Seeing Sun Fujia's expression, Lin Feng knew that Sun Fujia had already figured this out. He smiled, suddenly looked at Zhao Xieyang, suddenly changed the topic, and said: "Zhao County Lieutenant, after this matter is over, I will I want to transfer you to Dali Temple, do you want to do it?"

These sudden words immediately stunned Zhao Xieyang.

But when he saw the majestic look in Lin Feng's eyes, he was suddenly shocked. He was alert and reacted very quickly, and he quickly understood what Lin Feng meant.

Tonight, I know too many secrets. The Four Elephants Organization, the merchant forces in the Western Regions, and now even the people arranged by His Majesty know... These secrets are top secrets and are absolutely not allowed to be leaked, so I know these now, and only Two paths are available.

Either join Lin Feng's forces and become one of them, or... be silenced.

Thinking about this, Zhao Xieyang's hands and feet felt cold, but he was also very excited... As the county lieutenant of the small Shenshan County, Zhao Xieyang knew very well that if there were no adventures, he might stay at the level of county lieutenant in this life. If you want to take another step forward, it will be as difficult as climbing to the sky.

But now, he has the opportunity to go to Chang'an and enter Dali Temple... Dali Temple is not comparable to the small Shenshan County government. When you come to Dali Temple, the future cannot be foreseen at a glance!
Not to mention, he hugged Lin Feng's lap. If Lin Feng takes advantage of him in the future, the future will be even more promising.

Thinking of these, Zhao Xieyang made a choice quickly without any hesitation. He bowed directly to Lin Feng: "It is my honor to be able to enter Dali Temple! It is my great honor to be my official!"

Lin Feng looked at Zhao Xieyang's nervous and excited look and nodded slightly. After he saw Zhao Xieyang, he knew that Zhao Xieyang was a smart man. Now that Chang'an is about to undergo a sudden change, there is one more smart person who can be trusted, isn't it? bad thing.

After confirming that Zhao Xieyang became his own, Lin Feng continued to reveal more arrangements and secrets.

He looked at everyone and said: "An Shen has a secret mission, so he also has some people under his command. Some of these people were equipped for him by His Majesty, and some were taken in by him after he came to Shenshan County. In total, there are more than a hundred people. people."

"And it just so happens that I am also very cautious by nature. I am not sure whether the Four Symbols Organization will be prepared for accidents, but I must be prepared for accidents myself, so..."

Listening to Lin Feng's words, everyone felt their hearts beating loudly and looked at Lin Feng expectantly.

Lin Feng faced everyone's expectant gazes and said with a smile: "I asked An Shen to use his manpower in advance to prepare... If nothing unexpected happens, An Shen should have already started taking action."
