Chapter 262 A Windfall

The atmosphere of the crowd froze instantly.

Fu Rong stood up and walked up to Guan Su: "How is Tang Jian?"

Guan Su bowed and saluted: "Because of precautions, although he was injured, he was not killed. He was just stimulated and very excited."

Ling Yuan stood up: "I've finished eating, why don't we leave first?"

Everyone had no objection, Feng Shaoyin was not like them, he had nothing to do with Yang Su, he said he would go to his mother-in-law's house to pick up his wife, so he withdrew first.

Because Changying had to rest early, she went with Feng Shaoyin.

Fu Rong naturally had to go and see, Ling Yuan accompanied him, and the group got up and went downstairs.At the intersection of the street, the roads were divided, and Yang Su and the others went straight to the Yamen of Wucheng.

The lights in the yamen had already been lit, and the prison was located on the west side, and many people had already come. Huang Ji and Zhou Liang rushed over after hearing the news, and they were leading the yamen servants to encircle the surroundings.

A terrified cry came from the courtyard, it was Tang Jian who had just been frightened.

Immediately, the deputy commander in charge of the guards came over and reported: "There are only two people here. One is acting, and the other is watching the wind. They are all good at fighting skills. They use swords and come straight to Mr. Tang. After the incident, they also retreated. Quick, no sloppy."

While talking, everyone stopped in front of Tang Jian. Tang Jian was sitting on the ground with his back against the wall, his face pale, and the doctor was treating the wound on his body.

Yang Su looked at his wound, the wound was on the shoulder, and there was a long cut. He guessed that he had been noticed when he first attacked, so he missed it, but the wound was not deep.

"Fortunately, he is in prison. If he is released back to the mansion, his life will be gone today." Zhou Liang's words were full of rejoicing.

Yang Su thought for a while and said to him, "Bring him to the room."

The yamen servant boiled water and made tea, and Tang Jian had been brought in here.

Yang Su also set up a seat for him, and when he calmed down, he took out a few pieces of paper and gave him: "This is the account entry record of Mr. Tang's two shops, and the receipt issued by Mrs. Zun. I want to know, Tang Where did the young master give Xueniang 20 taels of silver for chewing?"

Tang Jian's back straightened, and the emotion that he experienced just now was clearly ups and downs: "Yes, yes..."

He opened his mouth, but his words were always incomplete, making people wonder what he wanted to do.

"Mr. Tang, you'd better speak directly. You should have seen the danger just now. If you hide it, there may be some disaster waiting for you." Xie Peng said while supporting the handrail, "Or, do you know who wants to kill you?"

Fu Rong also looked over.

Tang Jian's Adam's apple rolled, his eyes were messy and lifeless.

Then he raised his head, panting quickly and said quickly: "I don't know who is going to kill me, but I went to Tongzhou a few months ago and encountered something!"

"Tongzhou?" Yang Su narrowed his eyes.

"Yes. Tongzhou." Tang Jian said, "To be precise, it is actually the junction of Tongzhou and the capital!
"The Tang family has a Zhuangzi in Changshan Town. I went to the Zhuangzi with a few classmates to enjoy the flowers and eat wine. We walked along the mountain road that day and arrived at a village called Liuertun.

"After going up the mountain, we found a ruined temple to rest. When I entered the temple for convenience, I accidentally found a hole plugged with clothes in the corner of the backyard—"

"Wait," Yang Su interrupted him when he heard this, "Did you just say Liu Ertun?"

Tang Jian raised his head and said, "It's Liuertun. That village is not far from the post road. Most of us children who grew up in the capital have real estate in the suburbs of Beijing and Tongzhou. Where have we never been when we were young?
"What's more, that place is quite close to my Tang family village, I remember it clearly!"

Yang Su quickly met Ling Yuan's eyes: "Since you are familiar with Yanjing's terrain, do you know how many Liuertuns are nearby?"

"Two!" Tang Jian took a sip of hot tea, calmed down, and replied, "This one is in the south, and the other one is in the northern suburbs."

Yang Su glanced at Ling Yuan again, Ling Yuan also frowned.

"What did you find in the cave?" Ling Yuan asked.

"There are many silver ingots in that cave, and there are two swords in it!"

"How many silver ingots are there? Is there any engraving?"

"The five taels and one ingot of silver is divided into several packages. There are as many as a thousand taels. There are engravings. It is a batch of silver allocated to Shaanxi by the imperial court four years ago." Tang Jian's voice became hurried again when he said this. "I found someone to melt the money from the black market."

Yang Su turned his head: "After dawn, go to the household department to check the number and whereabouts of the Luyin transferred to Shaanxi in Qingxi's 18th year."

Tong Qi responded.

Yang Su looked at Tang Jian again: "What about the two swords?"

Tang Jian swallowed his saliva: "As for the sword, it looks like an ordinary long sword, nothing special, and I'm not a martial artist, so I can't tell the difference.

"Where is the sword?"

"...If no one goes there later, it should stay in the original cave."

Yang Su paused: "Then you moved the money out on the spot?"

"No," Tang Jian said, "I was not a greedy person. I didn't touch the silver at that time. The silver was hidden here, and there was a murder weapon at the side. I guessed that it was stored here by bandits, so I didn't dare to touch it."

"Then your money for raising Xue Niang didn't come from this money?" Yang Su asked.

Tang Jian sighed, and said: "It wasn't at first, I wasn't very obsessed with Fengyue, so I still had some spare money.

"By this summer, I was obviously cramped. I was obsessed with ghosts. I couldn't do without her, and I couldn't afford to support her. I thought about it to no avail, so I thought about this again.

"About two or three months ago, I went back to try my luck. I didn't expect that the silver was still there, and there was no trace of it being touched by outsiders. I was so upset that I took it out at night."

Having said that, he lowered his head and lowered his voice.

But soon he looked up again: "But after I took the silver and came back, nothing happened."

"You didn't suspect Xueniang's death?" Yang Su asked.

"Didn't Chen Xiong kill her?!" Tang Jian asked back, clenching his fists on his knees.

The corners of Yang Su's lips moved slightly, and he said again: "Since you have a windfall, you must have bought Xueniang's makeup and brocade?"

"No!" Tang Jian shook his head, "It's not me! Even if I dote on her, why would I dare to be so lavish?
"She is just a girl from a poor family. 20 taels of silver are given to her every month, and she doesn't have to become a monk. It is enough. I don't know who bought the damask!"

Yang Su frowned for a while, then looked at Fu Rong.

Fu Rong's face was always gloomy, and he was obviously speechless about it.

Yang Su asked Tang Jian to be taken back first, and then looked at Fu Rong: "Tang Jian didn't buy the makeup satin, which means that there is a third person behind Xueniang. But Tang Jian didn't suspect that Xueniang was killed by a third person. He didn't suspect Xue Niang either, which means that this person's hands and feet are quite clean.

"A person with such clean hands and feet, but he has his eyes on Mr. Tang, and even borrowed a knife to kill Xue Niang, stirring up disputes between the Chen and Tang families. If this person is not the owner of this windfall, it is really hard to think of anything else. identity."
