"Fortunately, I got the news and arrived in time. After pleading a few words in front of the emperor, His Majesty ordered me to come to Xizhou with Mr. Wang. With me here, I can help you withstand the king for a few days, at least according to the imperial edict.
During these three days, he, the imperial envoy, will not restrict you.
But... you must seize the opportunity of these three days. If you can't find the bird, I'm afraid I won't be able to protect you."
Xiao Zhen was worried. Song Zheng was a talent that he and Shi Yuanhe were optimistic about. He was very important in their plans for the future of the Hongwu Dynasty. If a group of people used the excuse to wipe out his official position and demoted him to a white body, both of them would be in trouble.
The previous efforts were immediately shattered by half.
"Don't worry, sir." Song Zheng said: "There are enough clues. This case should be revealed soon."
Xiao Zhen waved his hand: "I believe you, just do it."
…
Song Zheng immediately brought in all the interrogation statements and reviewed them one by one.
He has a photo-level Yin Shen, and these confessions will never be forgotten after seeing them at a glance. Because there are many prisoners, including Zhenshan Guards and Wushan Bandits, it takes time to sort out the connections and flaws in them before discovering the real clues.
There was no result yet on his side, so Du Baihu quickly came in and reported: "Sir, the clue about Chen Yicheng has been found out."
Chen Yicheng was extremely suspicious, and he ordered a secret investigation.
"Chen Yicheng secretly misappropriated part of the family property to do business, but lost everything. The hole was so big that even he couldn't repair it. So he used the family's caravan to smuggle back a batch of ninth-level exotic medicines from the ancient country of Huaxu
, hidden among the hundred boxes of heavy stones.
He hoped to sell this batch of strange medicines and make money to make up for the shortfall, because the day of the Chongdao clan's annual family reckoning was coming soon.
However, this batch of heavy Chu stones was seized, and he was particularly anxious because he could not sell his private goods. He went to the Xucheng Gang to borrow a sum of money. If the goods were too late to be sold, he could use the borrowed money to sell the family property first.
Make up for the shortfall."
Song Zhengyi frowned: "Is it the scattering of five lights? No wonder."
The ninth-level magic medicine Wu Guang Powder is dissolved in water and then soaked in the wood, and then dried and the magic medicine penetrates into the wood. After being smuggled into the country, the wood is soaked in water, and after the water is boiled dry, Wu Guang Powder can be obtained again.
This method of smuggling is difficult to detect. It only requires five-light scattering and must be made of wood. Other high-level exotic medicines can easily deteriorate in the process. So what Chen Yicheng wants is not heavy Chu stones, but
It's those boxes.
"Yes."
Song Zheng nodded: "So, the Chen family has no suspicion."
Du Baihu was a little disappointed, but Song Zheng was not very surprised.
He has already secretly analyzed that the four forces that Yanque initially came into contact with all seemed suspicious, but looking back at this time, it was more like a cover-up. The real purpose was to slow down Ma Daquan's investigation and cover his use.
The Xiaoshan Bandits moved the Ming Moth out.
He initially planned to use Chongchu Stone and Ningyi Shuttle to find traces of Yanque, but it was interrupted due to successive accidents. At this time, he also understood that even if the plan was implemented, it would not have any effect.
Because judging from various subsequent incidents, Yanque is extremely cunning and will not leave such obvious clues.
Zeng Baihu came in again and reported: "Sir, the losses in Liuyin Mountain have been calculated. Please take a look."
Song Zheng took the file and glanced at him: "How is your injury?"
"It's nothing serious." It's just that the arm hasn't grown back yet.
Song Zheng nodded and opened the file. During the attack on Liuyin Mountain, forty-seven Baotao Guards were killed. Except for Yao Huan who was taken away by Song Zheng, the rest of the Zhenshan Guards were all dead. However, there were only
About ten people.
For Bao Tao Wei, the loss was heavy! When Song Zheng saw those names, he couldn't help but get angry. So he remembered to remind Du Baihu: "Tell the brothers below that for those Wushan bandits, I
I hate you as much as they do. But before you dig out all the useful confessions, be a little more measured in your torture, so as not to kill them all."
"Yes." Du Baihu agreed: "I will warn everyone."
Song Zheng knocked on the confessions on the table and emphasized: "These are far from enough. Ask again!"
Du Baihu had also read the confession, and was secretly annoyed: "Don't worry, sir, I don't believe it. We, Long Yiwei, can't even pry their mouths open with the methods they used!"
He left in a menacing manner, but Song Zheng felt worried.
None of these testimonies actually involved the Linzhuqiu Wu family! They admitted that they sold some stolen goods to Wuhu Hao. In addition to Wuhu Hao, there were seven or eight other merchants in the city who secretly cooperated with them, and all of them were big businessmen in Duanyang City.
power.
Song Zheng took out the name of the company and handed it to Zeng Baihu: "Go and verify it."
Zeng Baihu went away for a short time and then came back: "Sir, every house can find the kind of jade talisman with the word Wushan engraved on the back."
"It turns out they were already prepared!" Song Zheng gritted his teeth secretly. The forces that can stand for thousands of years are indeed old foxes.
As for Xiaoyang Village, the Wushan thieves' confession was that they had already secretly controlled the Wu family's children in the village. They had three more similar destinations, all in Xizhou, and they were the properties of several big forces.
What these painstaking efforts have in common is that they belong to an inconspicuous industry. The big forces only sent some ordinary disciples to look after them. They were easily controlled by them, and then planted a vicious "no escape curse" in each disciple's body.
", all life and death are in Wu Yunlan's hands.
Many forces are all suspected, which means that the Wu family in Linzhuqiu is cleared of suspicion! They are not the masterminds behind the scenes, but just one of the many victims of the Wushan bandits.
"Without enough evidence, we can't search the Wu family in Linzhuqiu." Zeng Baihu also felt a little angry: "The Wu family member in the court is probably keeping an eye on Mr. Xiao secretly. If we don't act according to the rules,
, giving him the opportunity to criticize Mr. Xiao."
Song Zheng sighed, nodded and said: "The Wu family dared to enrich themselves by feeding the bandits. As expected, they are fully prepared. We have caught the Wushan bandits, but it is still difficult to obtain evidence of their crimes."
He waved his hand: "You go down first and let me think about it alone."
Zeng Baihu bowed and left, closing the door for him when he went out. Song Zheng sat in front of a large desk, which was filled with files and confessions, but it was of no help to him.
The imperial envoy lives next door, and Shangguanhui is watching from the court. He has less than three days left. If he fails, the Jiangnan inspector who has just taken office less than five days ago will be dismissed.
Xiao Zhen must be charged with "unrecognizing people and abusing mediocrity".
Even with Yan Huaiyi's secret support, Xiao Zhen would not get into any big trouble because of this, but he was afraid that he would lose power and have no choice but to retreat behind the scenes.
Song Zheng was unwilling to implicate others, not to mention that he now knew clearly how much power the Jiangnan Inspector had in his hands. He was unwilling to lose his official position. This official position meant huge resources. Only with these could he be promoted rapidly and become the governor as soon as possible.
Everyone came out from Huangtai Fort.
If one day he stops being an official, he will have already brought Sister Zhao and the others out. He is tired of hanging the seal and leaves. He will definitely not be plotted by a minister, implicate his benefactor, and then be dismissed on the spot!
He still had a solid hunch: all the seemingly messy things in Duanyang City must be secretly connected. The key is that "bird"! As long as he can open a gap in any thing, he can find clues.
, followed the clues and finally caught the bird, completely breaking the situation.
He took a deep breath, and the wolf soldier's unyielding temper came up. He reached out and pressed lightly, and the files, documents, and confessions rose together. He raised the Void Divine Town, and once again concentrated all his energy to look over, trying to find clues from it.
.
…
"Sir!" An anxious shout came from outside the door. Before Song Zheng could let him in, there were also voices of accusation in front of the Yamen.
"Long Yiwei is really extravagant. In your eyes, the family members of the first-rank officials in the court are just the targets of casual beatings and false accusations."
This voice was cold and powerful. Under the urging of Lingyuan, most of Duanyang City heard it. When the leaders of the big forces heard this voice, they immediately understood: The Linzhuqiu Wu family was in trouble.
Until now, Song Zheng has never really faced off against the aristocratic sects of Duanyang City. The Zhenshan Guards are his subordinates, and the Wushan Bandits are bandits.
Rong Shiliang said to his eldest son: "The real test has begun."
Song Zheng came out, and his group of leopard guards were forced by someone to retreat from the front, looking a little panicked and embarrassed. Song Zheng shouted and asked: "Who broke into the Longyi Guard Yamen trespassing?"
With a crash, all the Leopard Tao Guards were forced into his yard, and a powerful aura followed, like a flood that broke through the dam and spread endlessly.
A sturdy middle-aged man in his forties, wearing a purple cocoon silk robe, walked in. His facial features were cold and hard, like a knife cutting an axe, and he was born with a strong temperament. The momentum exuded from his body was even more intense.
It clearly shows that this is a peak ancestor!
He looked coldly at the audience, and when he saw Song Zheng, he let out a cold snort from his nostrils, and then threw out the person behind him: Wu Hengjiang, in shackles.
"Sir Song, your Excellency, the Inspector, is so arrogant that our Wu family is very frightened. So we have kidnapped the criminal you thought was a criminal. The head of the family personally sent it to you. I also ask you to take him into custody and punish him immediately. If you want to kill him, you can cut him into pieces."
, the king’s law is just a matter of adults’ thoughts!”
Song Zheng frowned and was about to speak when another voice came from outside: "What's going on?"
The imperial envoy, Mr. Wang, followed in. Song Zheng stopped saying anything and looked on with cold eyes and sneered secretly: Yes, how could Mr. Wang be missing from such a matter?
The head of the Wu family, Wu Hengtian, cupped his hands and said: "I have met the imperial envoy. Someone in my Wu family has committed Song Zheng's crime. Our Linzhuqiu Wu family cannot afford to offend Long Yiwei, so whether it is true or not, we have to quickly kill my second brother."
