God stick peeping the sky

Braving the heavy rain, Yue Xiaoyan, Liang Enze and his team followed the path pointed out by the proprietress of the fly restaurant, led a dog to investigate, and did a field investigation experiment. They went out from the small restaurant, and if they were not familiar with Xiangshan in the heavy rain, guess where Liang Enlun would go at that time way.

After entering the mountain gate, the road is obviously more difficult to walk. The mountain is covered with moss, which is already slippery. Especially after it rains, there are earthworms, centipedes, leeches and other poisonous insects everywhere in the mountain. It is difficult to walk every step. Why did Liang Enlun go up the mountain in the rain?

Even though they were all martial arts practitioners, walking was extremely strenuous. Liang Enlun was Huahua Taisui, a child of Jiaoliang since he was a child, and he was extremely spoiled.

The best place to rest halfway is the Earth Temple on the hillside of the Xiangshan Mountains.

Yue Xiaoyan and Liang Enze's clothes were soaked, and they entered the earth temple, which was obviously clean and tidy. This small temple used to have good incense, and a small courtyard outside the temple was built with a high wall. There was a bluestone path in front of the temple gate, leading to the temple. There are several gods and Buddhas enshrined in the main hall, and the dilapidated stone houses at the back seem to have been inhabited in the past. I followed up with the people and residents in the vicinity and found out that they were seated with the abbot. permanent residence.

Yue Xiaoyan was always casual, he took off his jacket and wiped the water from his head and body casually, leaving only his middle clothes soaked and sticking to his body, making him look muscular and well-defined.

He looked up again and saw that Liang Enze was still wearing the arrow-sleeved belt, neatly dressed, standing upright, not as embarrassed as he was, even though the water was dripping from his forehead, he just stroked it slightly with his hand - he felt rough Stinky like a farmer.

There is a poem how to say, put green seedlings all over the field with your hands, and see the sky in the water when you bow your head.

He moved nimbly, and began to look around with his head down. He didn't see the sky in the water when he lowered his head. He only saw the dirt floor that had obviously been cleaned, but there were still small blood spots.

Liang Enze lost his brother, his heart was aching and chaotic, thinking that his younger brother might have died here a few days ago, he couldn't be calm for a long time, his bright eyes were full of water vapor, he didn't know if it was rain or tears, and we investigated together Come on the spot.

It should have been thoroughly cleaned several times, and all traces had disappeared, and the heavy rain in the next few days did not leave even a footprint.

Even if the person is dead, the body must be found, but it is a pity that even the body cannot be found.

The group of them tossed and tossed in the mountains until midnight, and they couldn't see clearly after lighting the torches, so they returned to the city exhausted. Liang Enze and the old prince went back to the mansion in silence. Yue Xiaoyan and Yue Jiu brought a bunch of yamen servants back to the yamen in a panic.

Just tidying up and freshening up, I heard the attendant at the door striding in: "Master Yue, there is a surrendered person at the door, saying that he killed Liang Enlun."

Yue Xiaoyan and Yue Jiu looked at each other with excitement in their eyes. Could it be that there is hope for solving the case?Immediately agreed, and strode to the interrogation room.

When I arrived at the interrogation room, I saw that the surrendered person was dressed in coarse cloth, with his waist slightly bowed, and his eyes were full of curiosity and freshness about the surrounding environment.

Yue Xiaoyan felt that this person had a greasy aura all over his body, and he looked like a street gangster. He felt that this kind of thing should not harm the son of the Duke of the Kingdom——Liang Enlun is not very skilled, but the guard next to him is called Liang Lei Yes, practicing martial arts since childhood is not a good stubble.

Yue Xiaoyan put away the carefree aura around him, walked into the interrogation room steadily with two long legs, and asked with twinkling eyes: "Who are you? Tell me about the situation that day?"

This person has a wretched face, and his voice is quite brisk: "Okay, sir, my youngest name is Chen San, the situation was like this, I was short of money, and I was waiting outside the Cuihong courtyard where the son of the aristocratic family likes to stay. Then, when I saw a rich man, I wanted to touch two points, and it happened that Mr. Liang was drinking too much and came out to pee. I asked him for money, but if he didn't give it, I strangled him to death."

"..." It was a bunch of nonsense, making myself feel uncomfortable.

Yue Xiaoyan knew that there were those street gangsters who came to Dali Temple for the sake of being brave and having fun, but they dared to talk nonsense about the case of Liang Guogong's son. Aren't they afraid of being tortured and using them to take the blame?

Immediately, he sat down firmly and began to look at Chen San carefully. Seeing that Chen San was a gangster, he must know that he was here to beat the wind and talk nonsense at this point in time. Since he dared to show his courage, it would be fine.

Although Chen San was a little hunchbacked, he still had a bit of stability and vigor when he stood there. Even if he was a gangster, his subordinates should be able to control a few brothers.

Yue Xiaoyan and him looked at each other for a while, ignored Chen San's other words, and said directly: "If you provide useful clues, you will be rewarded with 1000 taels of silver, but remember, the clues must be useful."

Chen San was embarrassed, and he was crazy about money, so he risked his life and said, "I want 5000 taels."

Yue Xiaoyan agreed on the spot, anyway, the money was paid by Liang Guogong: "Your clue should be worth 5000 taels."

What Chen San wanted was this sentence. After looking around for a while, he hooked his finger to Yue Xiaoyan and asked him to come closer: "I went to that temple two days before Mr. Liang's accident, but I think it's late at night. With a dim light on, there seemed to be two or three people indistinctly, and I would rather meet wolves in the mountains than dare to go in."

really!

Yue Xiaoyan: "What are you doing in Xiangshan Mountain in the middle of the night?"

Chen San scratched his head: "My 80-year-old mother just passed away at that time, and I went to visit the grave."

Yue Xiaoyan glared at him fiercely. A normal person goes to the grave in the middle of the night: "You look like 25 at most. Your mother died at 80. Did your mother give birth to you at 55?"

Seeing that this kid is not afraid of anything, he probably went to steal things from some decent tombs in the mountains in the middle of the night.

Chen San stomped his feet and hissed: "I said the official, I'm here to provide clues, do you still want to interrogate me?"

Yue Xiaoyan really didn't want to talk too much about it. Anyway, the things in the tomb will be stolen sooner or later, and the dead won't spend money. It should be given to the living to deal with emergencies. It's just that digging graves is too immoral. .

"When you went near that temple, who did you see?"

Chen Sanya gritted his heart: "Master, I see those figures reflected by a candlelight. They are tall and agile. They seem to be practicing martial arts, but they sound like a Shandong accent. They should be from Shandong." .”

Yue Xiaoyan's thoughts changed sharply, Shandong people, martial arts practitioners, in the temple in the middle of the night?These pieces of information are strung together, and there is no way to form a chain? "What were those people talking about?"

Chen San said: "I didn't dare to stay for a long time. I didn't even dare to light the lights in the temple in the middle of the night. I guess I didn't do something legal. At that time, I thought I was here to steal funeral objects. I thought that even if I met them It may not be an opponent, I only heard them say that they are only staying here temporarily, be careful in everything, and leave as soon as the matter is over."

Yue Xiaoyan asked again, it seemed that Chen San only knew this, he left the address of Chen San's home so that he could find him at any time, waved his hand and said: "Go, be careful in everything these days, this matter cannot be corrected." Anyone who mentions it, I will find you again if I have a situation."

Chen San was depressed: "I said, sir, where can I get the 5000 taels of silver?"

For this kind of big case, there must be a bounty for clues in the home of the suffering master. Yue Xiaoyan beckoned to Yue Jiu at the door: "Yue Jiu, you go and take Chen San to Liang Guogong's mansion to get 3000 taels of silver."

Chen San was immediately dissatisfied: "Officer, you don't have to fool the common people when you are an official. Just now we agreed to pay 5000 taels."

Yue Xiaoyan rolled his eyes at him impatiently, and sure enough, this man was good-looking and rolled his eyes, and he seemed to have a bit of flair: "I don't think your nonsense is worth 5000 taels, get out! If you say that you disturb the official business, you will be beaten twenty boards. "

Chen San turned around and left angrily: "Smelly rascal, dead rascal."

"..." was called a rascal by a street bastard, speechless.

But the more he heard from Chen San, the colder Yue Xiaoyan's heart became. The foreign accent and staying in the temple in the middle of the night indicated that he might just wander off to the capital to do other things, and he didn't even have a fixed residence. Maybe he really left the capital after finishing his work.

Could it be that Young Master Liang bumped into someone doing something bad in the middle of the night, and was killed in the end?

This kind of wandering crime is the most difficult to solve; and if there is no injustice in the future and no enmity in the near future, then there will be even less clues and contact points, and it will be even more difficult to solve; coupled with the heavy rain, all clues will be zero, how can this case be solved? ?

In other words, 3000 taels is too much.

It seemed that no matter how much Dali Temple tossed about, the clues to the case of Liang Guogong and the third son were buried in a thick fog, and no clue could be leaked no matter what.

Liang Guogong turned sadness into anger, what did Dali Siqing do to eat?So many servants were busy working all day, but they got nothing, so one came directly to the door and did not leave.

His wife's sweetheart has never seen anyone alive or dead, and she has lost countless circles of weight. In less than two months, her face paled and she showed her old appearance, and she brought people to the government office every day to cry.

Yue Zequn was originally the minister of the Ministry of War, and he was concurrently the minister of the Dali Temple. From this point of view, it is more dignified to be the minister of the Ministry of War. Now that Dali Temple can't solve the case, it has become the laughing stock of everyone. He really doesn't want to do things that are thankless. .

——People, you still need to focus on meaningful things.

An old fox is an old fox. More and more people die their sons every year. In previous wars, how many sons of the common people had to be killed after a battle. Aren’t those soldiers’ character much better than that of the young master Liang who is a stallion in the capital?If all this trouble continues, Dali Temple will no longer have to open its doors for office work.

Yue Zequn was quick to turn around, and directly asked for an order to say that he hadn't been to Jiangsu and Zhejiang for many years to organize military affairs. Now the two river camps in Jiangsu and Zhejiang don't know how the navy is developing.
