Concubine

Chapter 465 Xingzi Col

According to the old bustard of Mianchunlou and others, the gang who attacked Yunleng were all young, in their teens and 20s, and their actions were very capable, unified, and they advanced and retreated with a certain degree of control, much like soldiers in the army.

So Ma Du and Niu Dahai analyzed that Yun Leng's beating and framing must have something to do with their investigation into the murder of Xue Dudu's concubine, and it took only a few hours from the beginning of the investigation to the beating. The people in the army should be the soldiers of the Beijing camp in the capital or the troops of the nearby guards.

The Jingying soldiers in the capital are Shangzhi 22 guards (including Jinyiwei), which are in charge of the emperor himself.In addition, it is the Beijing Guard and Outer Guard troops under the direct control of the Five Armed Forces Governor's Mansion.The outer guards were too far away, and it was impossible to mobilize them in time. Therefore, the focus of the investigation was on the 22nd Guards of Shangzhi and the Jingwei troops directly under the command of the Fifth Army Dudufu.

Jin Yiwei also set up many spies in the army, and the news came back quickly. If they were from the army, more than 100 people were dispatched at once. This scale is still not small, and there should be some movement. But the guards didn't realize that so many people had been mobilized that night.According to the feedback, it is certain that these people are not members of the Jingwei Army.

Yang Qiuchi was very surprised after listening to the investigation results of the two. Did these 100 young people fall from the sky?Could it be that Ji Gang mobilized people from the local guards?If this is the case, it means that Ji Gang has long planned to attack Yun Leng.

There were two million troops in the Ming Dynasty, and it was impossible to find out these 100 people.Yang Qiuchi had no choice but to order them to expand the scope of the investigation, to investigate some military craftsmen workshops that used young people on a large scale, as well as the government offices of the Ministry of Industry and other nearby counties and counties with strong civilian populations.

After the arrangement was completed, Yang Qiuchi took the time to look back and investigate the murder of Governor Xue's concubine.He needs to check whether Lin Yuan is the murderer who raped and murdered Governor Xue's concubine.

He took Lin Yuan's blood sample for testing, and the result was very surprising. Lin Yuan's blood sample was not type A. Since the blood sampled at the murder scene was type A blood, this ruled out that Lin Yuan was raped and killed Xu Lingzi. suspicion.No wonder Ji Gang handed Lin Yuan over to Yang Qiuchi with confidence. It turned out that he knew that Lin Yuan was not the murderer at all.

Ji Gang clearly knew that the emperor asked him to cut off Lin Yuan's head to settle the case, and he also knew that Lin Yuan was not the murderer at all, but he still handed it over to him, obviously not because he could find out the truth and return Lin Yuan's innocence, but I hope that I can kill Lin Yuan according to the emperor's wishes, close this case, and save the car.

However, bridges return to bridges, roads return to roads, Yang Qiuchi will not kill anyone by mistake, and ordered Lin Yuan to be released in court, but told him not to leave the capital until the case was solved, and to be there whenever he was summoned.

When Ji Gang handed Lin Yuan over to Yang Qiuchi, he had already told him that the emperor wanted Yang Qiuchi to kill him to close the case. In order to show Ji Gang's kindness to his subordinates, he also specially told him to let him go on the road with peace of mind, and that Ji Gang would bury him generously.So Lin Yuan knew that he was doomed.Now hearing that Yang Qiuchi released himself and narrowly escaped death, he couldn't help feeling ecstatic in his heart, and repeatedly kowtowed to Yang Qiuchi: "The kindness of Lord Hou's life, I will never forget it...!"

The murder of Xue Dudu's concubine was disconnected, which made Yang Qiuchi very frustrated, and he didn't bother to talk to Lin Yuan, and waved him away.Lin Yuan walked to the door, bowed his head and thought for a while, then turned around and walked back, and said to Yang Qiuchi, "I have something I want to talk to Lord Hou about."

Yang Qiuchi said: "What's the matter? Say it."

Lin Yuan saw that there were only three guards in the lobby, including Song Yuner and Nan Gongxiong. He also knew that these were Yang Qiuchi's confidantes, so he leaned over and said in a low voice, "This subordinate knows who attacked Yun Leng that night."

Yang Qiuchi said in surprise: "Really? Who are they?"

"It's the second prince's personal guard who guards Tiance."

Yang Qiuchi shook his head: "No, we have checked the 22 guards in Shangzhi, including Tian Cewei, and we are sure it is not."

Lin Yuan thought for a while, gritted his teeth, and lowered his voice: "The second prince has expanded the Tiance Guard and recruited a lot of new people. These people are not in the Tian Ce Guard camp of the King of Han Mansion."

"Oh?" Yang Qiuchi was taken aback, staring at Lin Yuan, "Where is that?"

"It's in Xingzi'ao Mountain, thirty miles outside the east city." Lin Yuan's face turned pale, "Not long ago I was with the team to protect Commander Ji...Ji Gang has been there, so I know. I recognized some of them that night. "

Yang Qiuchi stared at Lin Yuan and said, "Why did you tell me this?"

Lin Yuan said bitterly: "Ji Gang clearly knew that I was not the one who killed Governor Xue's concubine, but he still handed me over and let me die. It's a shame that I risked my life to follow him! Lord Yang enforced the law fairly and returned my innocence. Having said this, I have repaid Lord Hou's great kindness, anyway, I am alone, there is no burden, and I will fly away from now on."

Lin Yuan already knew the consequences of telling this big secret. However, Yang Qiuchi didn't kill him even with the emperor's order, which made him very grateful. He is also a bloody man who knows how to repay his favor. The second time he escaped from death, he saw through Ji Gang's indifference and hypocrisy, and decided to leave.Before leaving, I thought twice and decided to tell this secret.

Yang Qiuchi ordered Nan Gongxiong to take 100 taels of silver from the yamen tent and give it to Lin Yuan, and to bring him clothes.After Lin Yuan disguised himself, he thanked Yang Qiuchi a thousand times and left the capital.

Song Yun'er said: "Brother, the emperor ordered you to kill Lin Yuan and give Dudu Xue an explanation to close this case. Now that you have let him go, how can you explain to the emperor?"

Yang Qiuchi said: "I won't kill innocent people. At least the existing evidence can't prove that he killed people and violated the king's law. If I kill innocent people indiscriminately, what is the difference with Ji Gang's dog thief? As for the emperor, I will talk about it." The reason why the emperor asked me to kill Lin Yuan was because I told the emperor that Lin Yuan was suspected of a major crime. Now that the suspicion has been ruled out, of course he can’t kill him randomly. The emperor should understand. We’d better be able to do this before the emperor asks about this matter. , catch the real murderer."

Song Yun'er asked, "Brother, is what Lin Yuan said just now a lie?"

"I don't think he's lying. Besides, I've already released him. He just needs to go. Why would he make up this story to lie to me? He doesn't know that I will give him 100 taels of silver."

"Maybe Ji Gang set up an ambush in Xingzi'ao She, let Lin Yuan lead us there!"

"It's not like, and it's unlikely. The emperor has made it clear that if I fight with him again, I will come to see him personally. No joke, no matter how courageous Ji Gang is, it is possible to assassinate me, but he still dare not make it public. Send the army to meet us with swordsmen. However, we should send spies to check first, to make sure if it is true.”

Yang Qiuchi called Yun Leng over, told him about the matter, and instructed him to send a team of spies to Xingziao outside the capital for reconnaissance.

After Yun Leng left, Song Yuner asked: "Brother, the second prince's Tiance guards already have more than 5000 people, and the Han Palace is more than enough to protect him. Why did he recruit so many people to hide in the valley for secret training? He thinks..." Song Yuner's lips moved twice, although she didn't pronounce the pronunciation, she could guess from the movement of her lips that the next two words were - Rebellion.

Yang Qiuchi smiled and nodded: "Since he threatened me last night that he would be the first to destroy my Nine Clans, judging by his arrogant posture, it is very possible. Otherwise, he What are you secretly training this army for?"

Song Yuner thought for a while, and then said: "Tell me, will this Ji Gang also participate in it?"

"Just now Lin Yuan said that the reason why he knew about this was that he went there with the team to protect Ji Gang and followed the second prince Zhu Gaoxu. So it is obvious that Ji Gang also had a part in this matter. Hehe, the two of them worked hand in hand, vented their anger through one nostril, This kind of thing would not be fun without Ji Gang."

Song Yun'er said: "That's good! If we catch Ji Gang's sore foot, we can sue him for treason and destroy his nine clans!"

Yang Qiuchi shook his head: "We have to wait for the results of Yun Leng's investigation first. Based on the second prince's expansion of Tiance Guard's secret training, it can at most be regarded as his private expansion of the army. From this, it is somewhat reluctant to conclude that the second prince is rebelling. Not convincing enough. I can’t control the enemy with one move.”

"Ah? Then what should we do?" Song Yuner frowned.

"We need to continue to investigate and get comprehensive evidence of their rebellion. The emperor has already ordered me to investigate Ji Gang. Only when we get the real evidence of their rebellion can we sue him! So, if we don't move, we will take it. Catch him seven inches and knock him down completely! There is only one chance, if the denunciation fails, we will be in bad luck."

Song Yun'er thought for a while, and said: "How about we report through others, such as telling the prince, and let him go and tell the emperor. Okay?"

Yang Qiuchi shook his head: "I've thought about this method a long time ago, but it won't work. First of all, for such a top-secret matter that loses its head, of course, one less person who knows it will be more safe. Once the news is revealed, Zhu Gaoxu and Ji Gang will definitely take the risk Second, the prince has a generous and benevolent character. Although the second prince and the third prince peeped at his position as prince and attempted to seize it several times, and the third prince even directly assassinated the emperor in an attempt to rebel, the prince not only did not take the opportunity to get rid of them Two, instead interceding for them, it can be seen that the prince attaches great importance to their brotherhood, if you tell the prince, there is no guarantee that he will not make trouble."

Song Yun'er said: "Yes, I think this prince is also indecisive. I'm afraid he is not competent for this kind of counter-rebellion. How about finding someone else to tell the emperor? For example, Eunuch Li."

Yang Qiuchi shook his head and said: "There is a reason, no matter who we turn to, it is possible to leak the news. Moreover, if our evidence is enough to overthrow Ji Gang and the others, the result will be the same if we tell the emperor directly or through others. If our evidence is not enough to overthrow But they, even if we tell the emperor through others, the emperor will still track it down and find it on our heads, after all, this is a major matter involving rebellion, and he will definitely investigate it to the end."

In the end, we can only wait and see.

Now that Dudu Xue’s concubine was murdered, the clues were broken, and he couldn’t investigate further. Yang Qiuchi remembered that Dong Fucheng of Yingtian Mansion said that he was looking for a woman for the emperor in the past two days. Song Yuner and the guards came to Yingtian Mansion.

In the yamen of Yingtian Mansion, Dong Fucheng was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. The holy order was to report the beautiful girls to the public today. The six hundred beautiful girls had already been selected and sent, and they all filled the yard in the yamen. However, Qiu Chi never showed up, and he went to his home to invite him, saying that he had gone to the Fusi Yamen in Nanzhen. Dong Fucheng didn't dare to send someone to Jinyiwei to urge Yang Qiuchi to choose a woman, so he could only wait in the yard and pray for Yang Qiuchi. Come to Yamen to work early.

Now finally seeing Yang Qiuchi coming, Dong Fucheng was overjoyed and greeted him: "Master Fuyin, you are here, this beautiful girl will be reported today, if we are late, we will be in trouble."

Yang Qiuchi smiled: "Hey, isn't it just to pick women, it's very simple, you let them come to the hall in groups of ten, and I just make a decision on the spot in the hall."

"Yes, but the identities, places of origin, clean family history, old age, disease, and household size of these beautiful girls, adults have to take a look at them."

Yang Qiuchi squinted and saw the files of beautiful girls piled up like a hill beside the warm pavilion in the lobby, his head was getting big: "Have you seen those?"

"I've seen it, I've seen it all. In the past few days, I have organized all the stable women and doctors in Yingtian Mansion to give physical examinations to the beautiful girls. They are not yellow flowers, but those who are sick. Anyone who does not meet the requirements will be sent back. Let them change it again. I have been busy with this day and night for the past few days. Now these six hundred women are all young girls, without any serious illness, and their family history is clean. They are all issued by the local Libao. .”

Yang Qiuchi nodded, then turned around and asked Master Long who stayed in the yamen to manage administrative affairs: "Have you seen it, sir?"

Master Long said: "I have carefully reviewed each and every one of them, and now these 600 people all meet the requirements for selecting a show girl."

"Well, you two have reviewed it, so I won't watch it. Anyway, the three of us are grasshoppers on the same line. If the review is not strict and something goes wrong, I can't escape, and neither can you two, haha. "

The two hurriedly bowed and laughed together.Lian said he dare not neglect.

Yang Qiuchi went to the warm pavilion in the lobby, and the gavel slapped: "Bring the beautiful girl to the hall!"

A group of ten people, beautiful women have been born in the south of the Yangtze River since ancient times, and this capital is even more beautiful.The [-] candidates selected for the show are all in their twenties and eighties, with delicate facial features, like water lotus blossoms.

Yang Qiuchi was happy to have chosen this, as if he had returned to the time when he was picking out the escort girls in the nightclub in his previous life.Song Yuner also knew that he was addicted to sex, but she was not jealous, she watched him study every woman's face and body with a smile, and did not interfere.

Yang Qiuchi chose very carefully and asked questions from time to time.Unconsciously, it was already past noon, and only a small half of the screening was done, so I was a little anxious.After a hasty lunch, Song Yun'er was sent to call Liu Ruobing to help her choose.

With the help of Liu Ruobing and Song Yun'er, it was done very quickly, and finally 600 beautiful women were selected from [-] people before the end of get off work.Instruct Dong Fucheng to take these three hundred beauties, together with their personal files, and send them to Ji Gang, who will make the final selection, and then send them to the palace.

After arranging for the three hundred beauties to be sent away and the rest of the unselected women sent home, the draft will be considered over.

Song Yun'er giggled: "Brother, how do you feel about picking this day's beauty?"

Yang Qiuchi rubbed his eyes: "I thought it would be a very pleasant thing to choose a woman, but I didn't expect to see too many women, I was really dazzled, and I didn't dare to make a random decision, thanks to the help of you two, Bing'er and Yun'er, Otherwise, I really can't figure it out, if I can't do it after the deadline, this Ji Gang will have to catch me again."

Liu Ruobing also smiled: "Our capital has really produced a lot of beauties. This time, Yun'er and I selected two very beautiful ones. They can be called beautiful and beautiful, and they are all over the country."

oh?Yang Qiuchi opened his eyes wide: "It must be so beautiful that I, Bing'er, can praise you. Why don't you two let me have a look? What a pity."

Song Yuner's face was serious: "What's the pity? You have my sister and Hong Ling, two beautiful beauties who are so beautiful that even the emperor is tempted. Are you not satisfied?"

"I...I didn't mean that..." Yang Qiuchi said with a sneer.

"Hmph! I knew you would be tempted, so when my sister asked me to call you to come and see, I didn't call."

"Ah?" Yang Qiuchi glared, "Your sister don't worry about letting me see, why do you..." Seeing Song Yuner staring at him with wide open eyes, Yang Qiuchi hurriedly changed his mouth and said with a smile: "I just want to grow up Long experience."

Liu Ruobing said: "Yun'er, don't tease him, he has already said that he has seven of us, and he has a son, and he will never take concubines again. I believe he is a man of his word, so he Seeing other beauties is just a feast for the eyes, don't take it seriously."

Yang Qiuchi smiled and said: "Exactly! Bing'er understands me. I have seven beauties who are as beautiful as flowers and jade, especially my Bing'er and Hong Ling. That is really the beauty of the country, and I have a son. , I am already very satisfied. Hehe..."

Song Yun'er said angrily: "It would be great if it was like this! I'm afraid that you will feel weak when you see a beautiful woman."

"Look at what you said." Yang Qiuchi said awkwardly, "How could it be?"

In the morning of the next day, Yang Qiuchi came to Nanzhen Fusi to deal with some important daily tasks. At this time, Yun Leng came in with a few people, all of whom were full of excitement.

When Yang Qiuchi saw their expressions, he immediately knew that there must be something found in the investigation results.Overjoyed in my heart, I hurriedly retreated to the left and right.

Yun Leng bowed and said, "Master Hou, I took these spies, disguised as woodcutters, and searched in Xingzi'ao Valley, thirty miles east of the city, and found a hidden military camp. It is estimated that there are nearly 1 people inside People are practicing, because they can’t see clearly from a distance, and they dare not approach, so I don’t know if there are more than 100 people who attacked us that night.”

"That's great!" Yang Qiuchi slapped his thigh, stood up excitedly, walked back and forth a few times, and said to the spies, "You guys are doing a good job, each of you will be rewarded with ten taels of silver, and go to the account room to collect it." Bar."

Those people thanked in unison and withdrew.
