Ancheng County.

The several survivors brought back by Chen Leng and the others yesterday confessed under the interrogation of the Tingwei Mansion, but because of this confession, the investigation of the case was stalemate, and everything seemed to have returned to the starting point. I thought I had cleared the fog, but after I opened it, I found that what I saw in front of me was what I had seen before.

Fang Baijing looked at Chen Leng and said, "The confessions of the three people are basically the same. They will be interrogated separately and will not be interrogated, but they may have been interrogated before they were arrested, so the confession is not very true, and the credibility is not that high."

"All three people say that they are soldiers of the arsenal of the Jiaziying in Gyeonggi Province and steal things from the arsenal for many years. I have sent people to the Jiaziying camp as soon as possible to meet General Dan Tai. It will take several days to verify there, but if it is true, the materials stolen and sold over the years must be a big number."

He paused for a moment and continued, "The only thing we need to check now is the buyer, who bought the gunpowder bag from the arsenal, but in fact we all know who bought it, and because of this..."

Chen Leng nodded: "In fact, we all speculated that the gunpowder bag was brought out by Xue Cheng from Jiaziying. Now he has become a buyer. What we want to investigate is Xue Cheng's internal agent who is still in Jiaziying, but it turns into a transaction. Not only did we not verify what we were going to investigate, but instead confirmed that Xue Cheng did not leave any internal agent in Jiaziying."

His finger tapped on the table rhythmically: "Lao Fang, have you felt that after the incident of Hefeng Xiyu Tower, our opponents seemed to have changed people, and they arranged them carefully everywhere. The incident of Hefeng Xiyu Tower is full of loopholes. The person who set up the situation is not a master, and even pointed out the direction for us to investigate the case... But after the incident of Hefeng Xiyu Tower, the people who were layout have completely improved the level. Not only did they fill in the loopholes in Hefeng Xiyu Tower, but they also cleared the relationship between Xuecheng and Jiaziying, and even eliminated the person who stole gunpowder bags from Jiaziying."

Yu Manlou sat next to him and stopped for a while. After sorting out his thoughts, he said: "Now if we still assume that all this was arranged by Xue Cheng's people, then it is actually very simple. They are just making up for it, but the means of making up for it are clever. Can we completely ignore this matter and just pretend that it has not happened. How to check it before or how to check it, the target is still Xue Cheng."

No one spoke, because everyone knows Yu Manlou’s summary, which is actually a nonsense.

"When we went to the Xiaoyincun Pig Farm, we also said that if it is confirmed that the owner of the pig farm is related to this matter for more than a month, it proves that Hu Huan, the county magistrate of Ancheng County, is related to this matter, and it also proves that the master Yuwen Xiaoce is related to this matter."

Chen Ran sighed: "But now there is nothing to prove. Chang Yueyu died. The testimony shows that the borers of Jiaziying only bought the coachman of the pig farm, which had nothing to do with Chang Yueyu, so he also left the people in the officialdom of Ancheng County."

"Has the coroner been given an autopsy?"

Chen Leng asked Fang Baijing.

Fang Baijing nodded: "After I led the team, the coroner conducted a rough examination of the corpses on the scene, and it can be confirmed that except for those who were killed by you, they were all poisoned to death."

Chen Leng asked: "The people who came with you include county magistrate Hu Huan, county magistrate Li Ge, division master Yuwen Xiaoce, and chief captain Sun Baicai. Is there anyone else besides these people?"

"It's gone."

Fang Baijing said: "The people from Ancheng County Government have basically arrived, and there is no other person. If they are all from the same group, there will be no flaws in them."

Chen Leng stood up: "You guys continue to discuss, I'll go and chat with Yuwen Xiaoce."

A moment later, in Yuwen Xiaoce's study, when facing Chen Leng, he seemed a little restrained in front of Shen Leng, and always looked cautious.

“How much do you know about Changyueyou?”

Chen Leng asked. Yuwen Xiaoce said: "Chang Yueyu was originally doing business in the Taoist government. There have been rumors that he had a close relationship with a big man in Jiaziying, otherwise he would not have come back to build a pig farm. It was soon decided that his pig farm would provide meat to Jiaziying."

"But......"

Yuwen Xiaoce said: "For so many years, no one knows who has a close relationship with Chang Yueyu in Jiaziying. I have had contact with people from Jiaziying over the years, and they can't even say it. I have asked for it a few times because of curiosity, but I didn't ask anything."

Chen Leng asked: "Chang Yueyu has a good relationship with county magistrate Hu Huan?"

"National Duke..."

Yuwen Xiaoce looked at Chen Leng in embarrassment: "I really don't know how to answer this."

Chen Leng said: "To be honest, I will not tell you what you told me casually, nor will I tell Lord Hu Huan and Lord Hu."

“Yes, yes, yes…”

Yuwen Xiaoce sorted out the words and said, "Actually, Mr. Hu and Chang Yueyu are not very close. The Duke knew that it was difficult to be an official in the local area. He had to deal with it carefully at all times and everywhere, for fear of omissions. It was rumored that Chang Yueyu had a close relationship with a big man in Jiaziying, so Lord Hu would naturally take the initiative to get closer. This is just a kind of... "

He seemed to be unable to find a suitable word, and nodded coldly and said, "I understand, inertia."

“Yes, inertia.”

Yuwen Xiaoce said: "Mr. Hu doesn't ask for anything for every day of the month, but because of this rumor, I just walked around casually, a kind of interaction that makes people unable to find any mistakes."

Chen Leng nodded: "Then do you know who else in Ancheng County has anything to do with Jiaziying besides Changyue?"

"There are 230 military households in Ancheng County, of which 120 are in Jiaziying, and the remaining 110 are in the East, Northern, Yiziying and C-shaped camp. If there is any relationship, the 120 military households are all related to Jiaziying."

Yuwen Xiaoce said: "If we talk about the extended relationship, such as a military household with more than a dozen relatives, these families are also related to Jiaziying. If we pursue this, we can probably catch up to at least one thousand households."

This answer is unsightly.

Chen Leng glanced at Yuwen Xiaoce: "Where are you?"

Yuwen Xiaoce was stunned: "Me?"

Chen Leng said: "Yes, do you have anything to do with Jiaziying?"

"No."

Yuwen Xiaoce said: "My ancestors were not from Gyeonggi Province, but from Anyang County, Gangnam Province. When I went to Beijing to take the exam, I missed the time because I was sick. Later, I thought it would be more convenient to live here for a few years. Unfortunately, I only went to the provincial examination and never entered the country."

Chen Leng nodded: "So he stayed there all the time?"

"yes."

Yuwen Xiaoce said: "I have no relatives in Anyang County, Jiangnan Road. When I got sick when I got here, the villagers here saved me. So I have always been very grateful and am willing to stay and do something for the villagers within my ability."

"Anyang County."

Chen Leng said: "I have been in Anyang County for a long time. Where are you from Anyang County?"

"Dahe Town, Ding County, Anyang County."

Chen Leng was stunned: "Near the Yulin Town?"

"yes."

Yuwen Xiaoce said: "Early next to Yulin Town, the Duke of the Guoguo is half a fellow villager. He is just afraid that others will say that I will get close to you, so he has never mentioned it, but he looks like the Duke of the Guoguo is really close."

Chen sneered and said, "I have been going to Dahe Town to deliver goods a lot at that time. The Yuwen family in Dahe Town is considered a big family. I still remember that Yuwen Xiang is the richest man in your Dahe Town."

"That......"

Yuwen Xiaoce sighed: "It's my cousin."

Chen Leng was stunned: "I understand."

At that time, water bandits were rampant in Anyang County. Yuwen Xiang's richest man in Dahe Town, Ding County was rushed into the mansion and ransacked by water bandits, killing more than a hundred people. The case at that time was made by water bandit Baili Tu.

Later, I thought about it. Boss Meng and Yuwen Xiang had business dealings. Chen Leng had been to Yuwen's house to deliver goods more than once. I still remember the Yuwen's house's high house. The people in the Yuwen family are different from Boss Meng. They bring people polite and kind. Even if someone like Chen Leng enters the house, they will be well received.

So Yuwen Xiang's business grew bigger and bigger, and the money accumulated more and more. One night, Bailitu led more than 200 water bandits into Yuwen's house and started a massacre, forcing Yuwen Xiang to open the cellar, rob tens of thousands of taels of silver, and insulted his wife and concubine in front of Yuwen Xiang.

At that time, Chen Leng was nine years old, and three years later, Mr. Chen went to Yulin Town to take him away.

Yuwen Xiaoce lowered his head and said, "Don't think too much. It's been more than twenty years since the incident. At that time, I was only twenty years old and almost fifty years old. No matter how deep the hatred and resentment are, it will disappear with time. I only learned about Baili Tu's death a long time later. The villagers actually found this and hoped that I would go back. After all, although the Yuwen family was silenced, the family's business still had to be maintained...but I didn't go back."

He smiled and said, "I wrote a letter and asked them to take it back, telling them that all the business will be distributed to all the servants of the Yuwen family. According to the years of the Yuwen family, it is impossible to be absolutely fair, and I can only do this. I... in fact, I dare not go back or go back there. I am afraid I can't sleep. As soon as I enter the door, I can see the whole yard full of incomplete corpses."

The smile is bitter.

Chen Leng breathed a sigh of relief: "It's hard for you."

"It's not difficult, now I don't feel much about these things."

Yuwen Xiaoce apologized: "But I was still a little disobedient just now, please forgive me."

Chen Leng patted Yuwen Xiaoce on the shoulder: "It's okay. If you find out who has something to do with Jiaziying, it may be the suspect who bought gunpowder bags from the Jiaziying treasury, notify me immediately."

“Yes, yes, yes.”

Yuwen Xiaoce quickly leaned over and said, "It's all my duty. Don't worry, Duke Guo. I will immediately repay the news."

Chen Leng nodded and looked at Yuwen Xiaoce's hand: "Have you practiced martial arts?"

“Practiced.”

Yuwen Xiaoce still leaned down: "At that time, I was quite young and energetic. I started practicing martial arts in my twenties and planned to go back. I practiced for a few years... It's a pity, I don't have talent."

Chen Leng sighed and turned around and went out.

Yuwen Xiaoce said everything was true, without a lie, but some words were not explained... He fell ill after he got here, and he didn't know what strange disease he had. The two friends who took care of him to Chang'an died of illness one after another. Xue Cheng met him on the way on his way. Xue Cheng was his savior.

That was once Xue Cheng went out because of a private matter, so few people knew about it.

Looking at Chen Leng's back, Yuwen Xiaoce took a few light but deep breaths, as if afraid that the sound was too loud to cause Chen Leng's alertness.

After Chen Leng left, Yuwen Xiaoce said to himself: "There are always so many helplessness in life... Later, I arranged for someone to chase Chen Xiaosong, and then Chen Xiaosong killed Baili Tu. In short, you are the child of my savior, and your brother Meng Chang'an is the child of my savior."
