Shehong County is full of devastation.

When Yang Shouwen followed Su Changshi to outside Shehong County, he saw the mess everywhere.

The gate of Shehong County is closed, the gate tower is brightly lit and the people are clamoring. You can feel the solemn atmosphere on the city gate tower. The shadows of the figures walking on the gate tower, and the faint cold light of swords and guns against the firelight, all show the panic atmosphere shrouded in the sky above Shehong County.

"I am Su Changshi. I am welcomed by Sun Changshi's order to welcome Li Sizhi back. Please open the door quickly."

Su Changshi shouted loudly under the city gate.

It's just his name... Yang Shouwen couldn't help laughing.

Men Bo on the city tower looked down, and after confirming Su Changshi's identity, he responded loudly.

Soon, the city gate opened.

"Li Sizhi, please follow me."

Su Changshi walked into the city gate first, and smiled at a man who looked like a captain and said, "Su Changshi, you are finally back."

Sun Changshi sent someone to ask many times, and it seemed that he was very worried."

"Don't talk nonsense, don't talk nonsense in front of the imperial court's Shangguan. Where is Sun Changshi now?"

The captain saw Yang Shouwen, quickly put away the laughter on his face and said, "Shi Changshi Sun is in the county government office, waiting for you to go back."

Su Changshi glared at the captain, turned his head and said, "Li Sizhi, let's go."

Yang Shouwen was able to understand the jokes in their words.

Logically speaking, the captain should have called Su Changshi "joined the army", but he called him the name directly, which means he was joking.

I think Su Changshi was often joking about his name, so he was not angry.

Yang Shouwen nodded to the captain and took his entourage through the city gate.

After they left, the captain ordered his subordinates to close the city gate, while looking at the backs of Yang Shouwen and others thoughtfully.

"Joining the army, this Shangguan seems to be not very old last year, but he has a lot of pomp."

A small school student came over with a smile and said, "Look at their armor, it seems to be better than the armor that the manager and his subordinates follow. And they are all riding on one person and two horses, which is really different. In my opinion, Li Sizhi's background is not simple."

"Nothing is simple, from God?"

The captain glared at the school and his eyes fell on the backs of Yang Shouwen and others again.

The school only saw Yang Shouwen's entourage's entourage's bright armor and two horses. However, as Zizhou and Cao Sen, he had never left Zizhou in his life, but his eyesight was high and he could feel the sturdyness of those entourages.

That is definitely not an ordinary entourage!

Moreover, judging from their weapons, they are all high-quality horizontal knives and spears.

But even that outfit is valuable. Can Sizhi, a Sixing Temple, be equipped with such an entourage? Also, those who came to the city with Sun Changshi during the day were also extraordinary. In particular, Sun Changshi's attitude was enough to show the origin of these people...

The captain's eyes were unconsciously narrowed into a slit.

He vaguely felt that his opportunity might have come!

Sun Chuxuan is over thirty years old and has a slightly dark complexion.

He was not tall, about 170 cm, with thin cheeks and protruding cheekbones. He did not harness like many people, but only had two small beards, giving people a sense of ability. When Yang Shouwen saw him, Sun Chuxuan was not wearing a public uniform, but was wearing casual clothes and a scarf on his head, standing in the courtyard, checking a corpse.

"Li Sizhi, you are here."

Seeing Yang Shouwen, Sun Chuxuan seemed very calm and bowed his fists and said, "I have been waiting for a long time."

Yang Shouwen also bowed his fists and returned the salute, looking at Sun Chuxuan up and down.

This little guy is not simple!

Sun Chuxuan gave Yang Shouwen the first feeling, but even so, Yang Shouwen remained vigilant.

"Thanks to Sun Changshi's help this time, otherwise Xiaguan might still be trapped at the ferry now."

Zizhou is Xiazhou, and the governor is the fourth rank. There are other leaders below the governor, which are the fourth rank. The chief may be regarded as the third person in the prefecture, and the official rank of the fifth rank. Yang Shouwen, a Sizhi, belongs to the sixth rank. Although it is not affiliation, Yang Shouwen still has to lower himself from the top in terms of rank. Therefore, facing Sun Chuxuan, he claimed to be the "lower rank".

Sun Chuxuan smiled and said, "Li Sizhi is polite, it's just a matter of raising hands, why bother thanking me?

However, when Li Sizhi came to Shehong to do this, he encountered such a thing, and I am afraid that it would be delayed a little, so please forgive me."

Those black painted eyes stared at Yang Shouwen.

Yang Shouwen smiled and said, "The lower official came to Shehong this time and was given the prince's secret order to confirm something with Chen Zi'ang.

It’s a bit strange to say that the officials are also a little strange.

In the first year of Shengli, Chen Zi'ang returned home in sorrow. Why was he tortured by Shehong County like that, but Zizhou Prefecture ignored it?"

Yang Shouwen is no longer the young boy who was just starting out.

Although he has not been in Luoyang for many years, he has been exposed to the powerful and powerful people in the court, so he naturally has become much more sophisticated. While the two of them were chatting and laughing, they actually had a confrontation. Sun Chuxuan wanted to ask Yang Shouwen for the purpose, and Yang Shouwen directly told him that I was looking for Chen Zi'ang under the secret order of the prince, why did he suffer such a torture?

Since Sun Chuxuan is here, it is impossible for Chen Zi'ang to hide it anymore.

Therefore, Yang Shouwen was not polite and directly questioned.

Sun Chuxuan's cheeks twitched slightly, revealing a look of embarrassment.

He hesitated for a moment and said softly: "This matter is indeed a negligence from me."

Last year, the magistrate of Shehong County reported the matter to the prefecture. At that time, the magistrate of the prefecture returned home to recuperate due to illness. It happened to be the end of the year, and there were many trivial matters. After receiving the secret report, the official did not pay attention and only replied to the magistrate of Shehong County, asking him to deal with the matter carefully.

But what I never thought was that the magistrate of Shehong County…”

Sun Chuxuan is indeed very troubled because this incident is no longer just a simple rebellion case.

It would be fine if Chen Zi'ang was an unknown person, but he was an official who retired from the court and had a great reputation in the literary world.

If there is not enough evidence to prove it, then Chen Zi'ang's affairs may well turn into persecution of Qingliu... If Duan Jian had not been dead, Sun Chuxuan would have taken Duan Jian down and interrogated him. He never expected that Duan Jian would use such fierce means to deal with Chen Zi'ang. What was spread out would definitely cause the entire Shilin to shake.

Of course, it would be fine if Chen Zi'ang died.

But Chen Zi'ang is not dead now... This matter has become troublesome!

In fact, not only Sun Chuxuan did not expect that the entire Shilin in Xichuan would not expect that Duan Jian would be so bold.

However, Sun Chuxuan did not shirk responsibility, but took the initiative to take the blame.

This also made Yang Shouwen look up to him a few times, and did not continue to talk about this topic, but instead walked to the corpse.

"Whose body is this?"

Sun Chuxuan quickly moved away and said softly: "This person is Duan Jian."

"oh?"

Yang Shouwen's eyes swept over Duan Jian's body.

"He was killed?"

Sun Chuxuan smiled bitterly and said, "Just as Li Sizhi saw."

At this time, Sun Chuxuan's aura had been completely suppressed by Yang Shouwen. Originally, he wanted to ask Yang Shouwen about his purpose, but now, his mind was a little confused. Unconsciously, Sun Chuxuan's attitude also changed.

"After the Guan crossed the river in Japan, he was preparing to join the front army, but he received news that a riot occurred in Shehong.

The Feiwuman suddenly launched an attack in the county town, and broke into the county government office, killing the county magistrate Wang Meng. Seeing that the situation was not good, the county magistrate Shehong committed suicide in the study. After Feiwuman washed away the county town, he quickly evacuated, but now he is missing.

Previously, the official had received news that there were bandits outside Shehong County.

Now it seems that those bandits are Fei Wuman... but I don't understand why Fei Wuman has been very honest all these years, so why did he suddenly rebel and rebellion?"

Yang Shouwen did not respond, but squatted down and waved to move the lights closer.

Sun Chuxuan was not angry either, but instead took a torch and came to the corpse.

"Duan Jian, did he commit suicide in the study?"

"When Xiaguan arrived, he did see his body in the study."

"What did he commit suicide?"

"Sword."

"Take it with me."

When Sun Chuxuan heard this, he quickly handed over a sword.

What Sixing Temple does is to reason and determine the case. In Sun Chuxuan's opinion, since Yang Shouwen is in the position of Sixing Temple, he must be a master in this regard. So he simply handed over the matter to Yang Shouwen, and he helped him aside.

"Sun Changshi, do you really think he committed suicide?"

After a long time, Yang Shouwen returned the sword and turned his head to look at Sun Chuxuan.

Sun Chuxuan's mouth twitched slightly, and then he smiled bitterly: "Actually, after I arrived at the scene, I felt a little strange at first sight. But later, based on the investigation, I felt that he had committed suicide, so I was a little unsure."

"He didn't commit suicide."

"ah?"

Yang Shouwen took out a handkerchief from his carry-on pocket and wiped his hands.

"At first glance, Duan Jian committed suicide.

But...you see, Duan Jian has obviously more calluses on his right hand than on his left hand, which at least shows that Duan Jian is not a left-handed. But if we look at the wound, Duan Jian’s wound is caused by right to left. Generally speaking, this situation should be the right holding a sword in his left hand. Duan Jian is not a left-handed, so why does he have to hold a sword in his left hand when committing suicide? This is one of them!
