"Help?" Yun Zheng frowned: "Where did Zuo Sect Master start with these words?"
"Alas," Zuo Dongming sighed, "On the night of the Lantern Festival, when the emperor was assassinated, I heard that you, young marshal, would accompany him?"
"That's right"
"And the young marshal also shot away a spear that was aimed at His Majesty?"
"That's right"
"The spear is an inch and a half long, as wide as a thumb, and the front end is divided into two dart points?"
"Well... I haven't had direct contact with the dart, but based on my feeling, your description seems to be correct."
"It's broken, it's really broken." Zuo Dongming's face darkened, and Zuo Pengcheng's face turned pale, and the corners of his mouth even trembled.
Yun Zheng was wondering, could it be that this assassin was actually from their Rainstorm Sect? But looking at Zuo Dongming and his son, it didn't look like they had sent these three assassins themselves. What was going on?
"What kind of bad method is this? The sect leader needs to explain it. Is it possible that these three assassins were sent out by you, the sect leader?... Zuo sect leader, I have to say ugly things first. If it is indeed the assassins you sent to assassinate me,
Your Majesty, I can't help you with this matter," Yun Zheng said with a frown.
"The young marshal was joking. The whole family of Cao Min is in Luoyang, and their family property is also here. Although Baoyumen is a martial arts sect, it still abides by the "Laws of the Great Wei". Because it is located in the capital of Kyoto, I, Baoyumen,
We always act cautiously, fearing that something will go wrong. However, it is inevitable that there will be some mistakes. Last time, the 3,000 spears we ordered for the Rainstorm Gate were stolen on the way back. More than 100 of them were stolen..."
Yun Zheng understood something now and asked: "The shape of these spears you customized is exactly the same as the spears used by the three assassins?"
Zuo Dongming smiled bitterly and said: "The same length is an inch and a half, thumb width, and the front end is divided into two dart tips." He said, and then explained: "This style of spear dart is the only one in Zhongzhou that we are used to.
use"
Yun Zheng looked at him and suddenly asked: "After His Majesty was assassinated, the Royal Street was sealed off, and from the time of the assassination, when I entered the palace, to when I returned home, it took less than two hours.
During the time, Zuo Sect Master, you not only knew the specific style of the hidden weapon used by the assassin to assassinate the Holy Emperor, but you were also able to write a greeting note and send it to the Duke Yun's Mansion - Sect Master is very well informed!"
Zuo Dongming was a little surprised that Yunzheng thought of this so quickly, but he was not worried and said with a wry smile: "To be honest with you, Marshal, the Storm Gate has been operating in Luoyang City for many years. What happened in this city?"
, the common people can still know... not to mention such a big thing as the emperor's assassination, the common people will naturally receive the news immediately. As for writing a greeting note, it doesn't take much time."
"Oh, that's it. It seems that there were a lot of people from the Storm Gate on Yu Street that day?"
"Young Marshal has misunderstood. There are many gangsters in Luoyang City who are not members of our Heavy Rain Sect. They just benefit from our Heavy Rain Sect. When there is any news, they can report to our Heavy Rain Sect."
Yun Zheng nodded and stopped pursuing the issue. He thought for a moment and asked: "Why didn't you investigate after your batch of spear darts were stolen? It's only now that such a big thing has happened that you are talking about it. What happened to you?"
Very disadvantageous”
Zuo Dongming glanced at Zuo Pengcheng and sighed: "Everything has been going wrong in our Storm Gate recently. How could I be in the mood to deal with these hundreds of spears? I didn't know that these spears would really cause us trouble."
"The people from the Criminal Department should have done a lot of investigating in Luoyang City. Since the spears of this shape are almost only used by your Storm Gate in Zhongzhou, why haven't they been investigated by you yet?"
"Nothing has been checked. Two batches have already been sent away," Zuo Pengcheng interrupted.
"You have no right to speak in front of the young marshal! Why don't you shut up!" Zuo Dongming suddenly taught his son a lesson. Zuo Pengcheng seemed a little afraid of his father. When he saw Zuo Dongming reprimanding him, he quickly shut up.
Well, the so-called two batches were sent away, probably with money. It seems that the storm door knew that this matter would not be settled with money in the end, so they came to me. But what are they looking for me for? Storm Door
Haven't they already surrendered to Lin Xi? If they get into trouble, they should go to Lin Xi! Could it be that they have already approached Lin Xi, but Lin Xi feels that this matter is too sensitive, so he is unwilling to intervene?
No, it’s still wrong. Yun Zheng quickly analyzed in his heart: This matter involves the assassination of His Majesty the current emperor, which is a crime of treason. It is indeed excusable for Lin Xi not to dare to intervene, but why is the Storm Sect looking for me? The Yun family is certainly powerful
It's quite a big deal, but I definitely don't dare to bear this charge. Besides, the most important point is that I have no way to solve this matter.
Zuo Dongming seemed to see Yun Zheng's doubts and whispered: "Young Marshal may not know that the spears used in the Storm Gate are all custom-made from the government-run iron workshop in Longde Mansion..."
Holy shit, Yunzheng almost cursed out loud. The Longde Mansion is the big mansion in southern Shanxi, and the so-called government-run ironware workshop in Longde Mansion is the property of the Yun family! Although three thousand spears are not a big business,
, but Storm Gate is obviously an old customer. According to the rules, the Yun family must have sent at least one delivery person to follow the transportation team. More than a hundred of Storm Gate's spears were stolen on the road, so the delivery person must know!
Damn it, isn't it possible that even our Yun family might be involved? Although this possibility is extremely small, I don't think the emperor himself would believe it, but after all, there is a suspicion, isn't it, annoying?
However, as long as the Yun family and the Storm Sect insist that more than a hundred spears were stolen on the road, the possibility of this crime being brought against them becomes smaller.
Damn, I've become a grasshopper on a rope.
"You want the delivery person to come forward and prove that more than a hundred spear darts were indeed stolen, right?" Yun Zheng asked.
"Young Commander Mingjian, this is exactly what the common people mean," Zuo Dongming said
"Well, this matter is not troublesome. I will write a letter to Longde Mansion later and tell them what to do. Master Zuo Sect, don't worry."
"Thank you, Young Marshal, for rescuing Baoyunmen!" Zuo Dongming thanked him quickly and took out a sealed red envelope from his arms. He presented it to Yunzheng with both hands and said, "Young Marshal, everyone in Baoyunmen is deeply grateful for your kindness. It's just a small gift and it's not disrespectful."
, please let the young commander accept it”
Yun Zheng said politely: "It's a trivial matter. Master Zuo doesn't have to be polite. This gift is unnecessary. It's getting late now. If there's nothing else, I, the young marshal, will go back home."
Yunzheng didn't want it, but Zuo Dongming insisted on giving it. In the end, Yunzheng "had to reluctantly" accepted the red envelope, went out with Zuo Dongming's respectful gift, and rode away.
Yunzheng returned to the house, opened the red envelope and saw that it was a banknote worth five hundred thousand taels.
Another huge sum of money, but Yunzheng frowned
This money may not be easy to collect.
