Jiang Hongjin spent all the money on hand, and he didn't find any useful clues. Jiang Hongjin hated to slaughter all those officials. It was at this time that Mr. Gao arrived.

Mr. Gao has been in a hurry, and he has not received any news of Jiang Hongjin's disfigurement before. So seeing the blood-red sarcoma on Jiang Hongjin's right face, Mr. Gao was shocked: "Second master, second master, what's wrong?" It's not that he was given a neuter drug, but I haven't heard of disfigurement!

Jiang Hongjin said expressionlessly: "I was killed." Thinking that the person who harmed him was still at large, Jiang Hongjin gritted his teeth with hatred.

Mr. Gao knew that the murderer had poisoned Jiang Hongjin again: "Second master, don't worry, I will definitely assist you in tracking down the murderer behind the scenes." ”

Jiang Hongjin believed in Mr. Gao very much: "This matter depends on Uncle Gao." "Mr. Gao has been with his father for more than 20 years, and he is better than him in terms of experience and experience.

Mr. Gao asked Jiang Hongjin: "After arriving in Luoyang, has the second master offended anyone?"

Jiang Hongjin shook his head and said, "In Luoyang, I didn't offend anyone. "The number one official in Luoyang, even if there is a political disagreement, there is no evil.

Mr. Gao's thoughts were deeper than Jiang Hongjin's, and he asked, "Second Master, it's not just the rich and powerful who do such things. ”

Jiang Hongjin's face changed, and he asked, "What does Uncle Gao mean by this?"

Mr. Gao, who is that, looking at Jiang Hongjin's appearance, what else does he not understand, and asks, "Who did the second master have a mortal enmity with?"

Jiang Hongjin immediately shook his head and said, "There is no matter." The murderer behind the scenes must be someone who has a big enmity with our Jiang family. ”

Mr. Gao sighed slightly and said, "Second Master, if you don't explain this matter to me clearly, I won't be able to help you find out the murderer behind the scenes." ”

Jiang Hongjin was silent for a long time before he said: "Not long after I came to Luoyang, I came across a case. "Jiang Hongjin is the governor of the state, and he is in charge of civil affairs, that is, preferential care and resettlement, relief and disaster relief.

Not long after Jiang Hongjin arrived in Luoyang, it was revealed that officials had embezzled disaster relief money. At that time, there were three officials involved in the case, one of whom was the cousin of the prefect, one was the younger brother of Tongzhi, and the other had no background in Luoyang. The one with no background died in prison, and the other two were fine.

After listening to this, Mr. Gao asked, "Who else is in the family surnamed He?"

Jiang Hongjin shook his head and said: "The surname He is from Jizhou, and his wife and children are all in Jizhou. After the man committed the crime, the concubine fled with the money. It was his old servant who sent his coffin back to Jizhou. "It is impossible for this escaped concubine and two children to avenge that man.

After a pause, Jiang Hongjin said: "Even if the He family wants to take revenge, they shouldn't look for me." This case was not tried by me, but by the prefect. "He's an accomplice at best.

Mr. Gao asked Jiang Hongjin a lot of things, but he didn't get any clues. "Didn't you say there was a portrait of a prisoner?" "That's the only clue.

As a result, looking at the portrait of the five big and three bearded wanted criminals, Mr. Gao was depressed: "This painting is too ordinary, there is nothing special about it, and it is difficult to find out." "This appearance may be very conspicuous in the capital, but it is ordinary in Luoyang. When you walk down the street, you can pick up a few that are similar to the ones in the portrait.

Jiang Hongjin was silent, this is already the best one.

Mr. Gao said, "Didn't you say that someone had seen this man? "Mr. Gao is good at danqing, and he wants to paint it himself.

After a day's time, Mr. Gao drew Yan Xi's appearance. The man who had seen Yan Xi looked at this portrait and couldn't help but nod his head: "Like, just like a real person." ”

Mr. Gao said: "Let people copy a few more and post them on the streets and alleys, and I believe that the identity of this person will be found." ”

This trick is very useful. In less than three days, someone unveiled the portrait and went to the governor's mansion to receive the reward. Someone who came had seen Yan Xi was also more clear about his details: "This person's name is Yan Xiaoxi, who was originally a tenant in Maicheng, but later couldn't go up the mountain and fell into the grass to become a confidant of the smiling tiger in Maicheng." Later, Yunqing occupied the northwest, and I don't know their whereabouts. "The person who came to receive the reward was originally an official of Maizhou City, and he was very familiar with the local area. It was also because Yunqing led the troops to call, and he fled to Luoyang with his family.

Mr. Gao said to Jiang Hongjin: "This person should be hiding in the northwest, and this matter is more difficult to handle." "The northwest is different from Luoyang, and it is not so easy to arrest people in the northwest.

Jiang Hongjin said hatefully: "Don't talk about the northwest, even the end of the world, I won't let him go." "Now that he has found a trace, he will never let it go.

Mr. Gao lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his head and said to Jiang Hongjin: "Uncle will be able to arrive in Luoyang in half a month, and when the time comes, I will follow Uncle to Ho City, and I will definitely find out the whereabouts of this person." Second master, you should hurry back to the capital!" The injury on Jiang Hongjin's face is more appropriate to go back to the capital for treatment.

Jiang Hongjin wanted to find out the people behind the scenes with his own hands.

Mr. Gao disagreed with Jiang Hongjin's behavior: "Second master, the most important thing for you now is to heal the wound on your face. Everything else is secondary. Mr. Gao had a vague feeling that the mastermind behind the scenes was not only difficult to find, but also difficult to deal with.

Under Mr. Gao's tough attitude, Jiang Hongjin finally compromised and returned to the capital in a carriage the next day. As for Yurong, she stayed in Luoyang to have a baby.

Three days before getting married, Tie Kui received a reply from Yuxi. Along with the letter, there are some inconspicuous gifts. Of course, it was sent in the name of Tong Chrome.

Holding the beautiful plum blossom font on the letter, Tie Kui knew that the letter was written by Yuxi. Because Yuxi can write plum blossom fonts, it is not uncommon, and people in the capital who are slightly well-informed know it.

After entering the house, Tie Kui opened the letter. Looking at the word 'uncle' written at the beginning of it, Tie Kui's pupils shrank. He will take the risk of wanting to recognize Yuxi, not only because he wants to restore his identity, but also because Yuxi is the only person who is related to him by blood.

After reading the entire letter carefully, a smile appeared on Tie Kui's face. In the letter, Yuxi just told her feelings of missing her biological mother, and also her joy at the uncle who suddenly appeared. Outside of this time, it is to let Tie Kui protect himself. If Tie Kui is willing to go to the northwest, she will also welcome it with both hands, and there is not a word about espionage news.

After reading it again, Tie Kui took the fire fold and burned the letter. With Yan Wushuang's people watching, he had to be careful, he couldn't keep anything that might be Xie Lu's identity.

Tie Kui said to Zhong Shan, who walked into the house, "Let's have a good drink tonight." Now in his heart, he has actually identified with Yuxi, his niece.

Zhong Shan has known Tie Kui for so many years, and it is the first time he is so happy to see him: "Kuizi, what makes you happy like this." ”

Tie Kui was really happy today, and he also wanted Zhong Shan to share this joy with him: "Didn't you have doubts about my background before? ”

When Zhong Shan heard this, he said, "You wait." After saying this, he quickly walked out and looked outside. Fortunately, there was no one outside, and no one was on the roof.

Tie Kui laughed, how could he dare to say this if he wasn't sure that there was no one here. However, Zhong Shan's behavior still warmed his heart.

Zhong Shan closed the door, pulled Tie Kui into the compartment inside, and said with some complaints: "You have to be careful about such a big matter!"

Tiekui smiled.

After Zhong Shan calmed down, he asked, "Kuizi, then what is your identity?" From Han Jianming's matter, he had actually guessed that Tie Kui should be from the capital, and he also knew Han Jianming, the prince of the Guogong Mansion, so Tie Kui's birth was definitely not bad.

Tie Kui said: "My real name is Ning Hai, Ning of tranquility, the sea of the sea, and I am the youngest son in the family. My father chose this word for me in the hope that I can have an open mind that is inclusive of all rivers......" When it came to the Ning family's suffering, Tie Kui choked up a little.

Zhong Shan said: "If you don't want to say it, then don't say it!"

Tie Kui shook his head and said, "All the adult men of the Ning family were beheaded, and the female dependents were sold. My second sister sold all the dowry to dredge up the relationship, so as to save the lives of me, my fifth brother, several nephews and a daughter-in-law. It's a pity that in the end, I ran into bandits on the way to Liaodong. "Tie Kui's father made a lot of friends before his death, and they also secretly helped. Otherwise, with only the little dowry of the Ning family, how could so many people's lives be saved.

Zhong Shan lowered his voice and asked, "How did you escape?" Those who survived the bandits were all lucky people.

Tiekui said: "When the bandits attacked, we were resting. I was going to the toilet in the bushes, and the bandits didn't notice me. "Tie Kui is a scholar, and he is very particular about reading, even if he becomes a prisoner. Therefore, he had to run to a place far away from the side of the road and a bushy cat to solve his personal problems, which is why the bandits did not find him.

On the way to Liaodong, Tie Kui heard that the road was not smooth. So when he heard the screams and cries for help, he didn't dare to run out, so he could only cover his mouth and squat in place and didn't dare to move, and only after the bandits were gone did he walk out of the grass.

And the picture he saw when he came out has always become a lingering nightmare for him. All his remaining relatives fell in a pool of blood, of which the third sister-in-law was in a different place, and the fourth sister-in-law was still alive.

In fact, many times, the dead are happy, and the survivors are the most painful. Tie Kui has often had nightmares in the past twenty years, and every time he wakes up from a nightmare, he is covered in a cold sweat. And this kind of pain can't be complained to others, it can only be suppressed in the heart. R1148
