Zhang Yanling decided to rush back to the capital immediately. After such a big thing happened, it was natural to be extra cautious. Therefore, Zhang Yanling ordered Zhao Yuancheng to rush back to the capital to notify Chen Shiyi and ask him to come with his personal guards to respond. Although the attacker
The probability of a comeback in broad daylight is very small, but Zhang Yanling doesn't want any surprises.
At the same time, this incident caused the death of more than a dozen people. Before the relevant yamen intervened, Zhang Yanling hoped that Chen Shiyi could identify and examine the attacker's body to see if Chen Shiyi's experience could detect some clues.
Come. Once you enter the city, the relevant corpse evidence will be handed over to Yousi, and you may not be able to verify it yourself.
Immediately, he ordered someone to drive a carriage back to Xishan Manor, picked up the master and servant Tan Ruqing who stayed there, and the Zhang family's maid and others, and rushed to join them. It was already past time when Tan Ruqing and others arrived. The group of people then
Start getting ready and set off for the capital.
In the carriage, Tan Ruqing simply checked Xu Wanyi's wound and applied some herbs. Xu Wanyi's biggest concern was whether her appearance would be disfigured, and Tan Ruqing also gave her a satisfactory answer. Xu Wanyi's face
It's a burn. The injury is not too serious. Only a small area of skin is burned and damaged. Then apply it with herbs that treat burns. After a while, new skin will grow and the old skin will fall off. Basically, there won't be any major problems.
.
But before that, Xu Wanyi was afraid that she would have to stay behind closed doors for a while. Because her face was burned after all, and the black and red burns on her skin after cleaning were very irritating. The herbal medicine was also a black plaster.
After applying it, her whole face looked very ugly. With Xu Wanyi’s temperament, she would not want to be seen like this, even if she was alive or dead. Therefore, after Tan Ruqing diagnosed and treated her, Xu Wanyi quickly
The blue cloth covered his face.
Among the several injured servants, except for one who was seriously injured, the rest were safe. Tan Ruqing and Xiao Zhu treated and bandaged them. Huang Si was stabbed in the arm, and Xiao Zhu bandaged him.
He screamed in pain, and was looked down upon by Xiaozhu.
Everyone slowly headed towards the capital. A few miles away from the capital, a group of people came galloping in front of them. It was none other than Chen Shiyi, a member of the Nanzhen Fusi Guards, and sixty or seventy brothers from the guards.
As soon as Chen Shi arrived, Zhang Yanling felt at ease. After Zhang Yanling briefly explained the situation to Chen Shi, he asked Chen Shi to inspect the corpse to see if there were any clues.
The two came to the cart containing the corpses at the end of the team. Chen Shiyi ordered his men to remove the corpses from the cart one by one, and inspected and rummaged through them one by one. When they saw some of these corpses,
Chen Shiyi couldn't help but be horrified when his chest was smashed to pieces. He didn't know what kind of firearm Zhang Yanling used to kill these people.
"Chen Baihu, can you see any clues?" Zhang Yanling asked.
Chen Shiyi ordered his men to carry the bodies back to the car and reported in a deep voice: "Master Zhen Fu, I apologize for my incompetence in my position, but I cannot identify the identities of these people for the time being. There are no identifiable clues on their bodies, and their clothes and knives are unmarked.
They are all of the most ordinary kind. I don’t recognize these people’s faces, and I can at least be sure that they are not from my Nanzhen Fusi Yamen. Otherwise, I would definitely recognize them.”
Zhang Yanling nodded slowly and said: "Sure enough, you can't tell their identities. But what do you think of this matter?"
Chen Shiyi said: "Beizhi listened to some descriptions from Brother Yuancheng and the circumstances mentioned by the Marquis Shicai. Beizhi believes that this is not some strongman's robbery. It is an action specifically directed at the Marquis."
Zhang Yanling nodded and said: "Yes, they named me to kill me, I agree with this."
Chen Shiyi said: "This group of people all have their faces covered, which shows that they are actually worried that the Marquis will recognize them. Based on this, I suspect that some of these people may be people known to the Marquis."
Zhang Yanling said: "Hiding your face may not mean that you are someone I know. This may be just their habit. After all, you can't show your true face when doing such illegal attacks. If you make a mistake, you must avoid being recognized.
Chase him after he comes out."
Chen Shiyi said: "What the Marquis said makes sense, but it doesn't mean anything. I want to know, did they leave nothing else except the corpses? I never believe that someone will act without leaving anything behind.
Any clues. Is there anything missing?"
Zhang Yanling frowned and said, "What else can there be? The corpses and weapons are all here. There were only a few horse corpses in the place of the fight last night."
Chen Shiyi cupped his hands and said, "I'm going to take a look at the carcasses of those horses to see if I can gain anything. People can disguise themselves and don't have any markings, but maybe we can find clues on the horses."
Hearing this, Zhang Yanling said: "I'm going with you, but I forgot to check the bodies of the horses. Maybe there are some marks on the saddles, stirrups and horses. After all, the horses of our Ming Dynasty are not so easily captured by ordinary people.
Someone got it."
At that moment, Zhang Yanling ordered the carriages and horses to stop and rest and wait. He and Chen Shiyi took several bodyguards and flying cavalry and rushed to the rear where the fighting took place last night on the official road. Two of the other's horses were shot and killed last night.
Er's body was too heavy, so Zhang Yanling simply checked it without going into detail.
Soon after, everyone discovered the first horse that Zhang Yanling had killed in the grass by the roadside. The two inspected the horse carefully, including studying the patterns on the horse's body, but found nothing.
As a result, Zhang Yanling was angry and faced death.
The horse's legs kicked, and he heard the sound of nails colliding with each other, which attracted Zhang Yanling's attention. He raised a horse's hoof and saw that there was a circle of horseshoe iron nailed on the horse's hoof, which had been worn away by sand and gravel.
It was polished. Then I saw writing on the side of the horseshoe iron.
"Shaanma... An Ning... Shangyuan..." Zhang Yanling frowned and recognized each word.
Chen Shi on the side quickly came over to take a look and said in surprise: "This is the clue. We have found the clue, Mr. Hou."
