"Although the villain doesn't care much about the things in the officialdom, but prompted by curiosity, the villain still went to investigate, although those soldiers flickered, but the villain judged that what Chen Xiaoer said was not far from ten."

"After dark, the villain instructed the miscellaneous servants to prepare meals, and at this time Pang County Ling suddenly came with a few people, and the small ones hurried to meet them, although our Niutouyi does not belong to the local jurisdiction, but after all, it is in Zhexian County, and there are contacts on weekdays, and the relationship is also harmonious."

Yan Shu frowned and said, "Pang County Order? Is it Pound who came today? ”

Liu Youlun nodded and said: "It is the county order of Pang Depang, and the villain is also puzzled, it is so late, the county order came to the post station and didn't know what to do, so he stepped forward to ask; Pang County Ling said that he received an official letter from Ying Tianfu, saying that there was an official who went to stay in Niutouyi, and the matter was very important, so he had to come and see it; The villain thought that if he wanted to cross the border, the local county official was indeed responsible, so he didn't think much about it, so he let him into the post station, and Pang County Ling first went to the small courtyard to talk to the escort soldiers, and the villain remembered that the leading soldier seemed to be surnamed Meng and was a capital. ”

Fu Bi nodded and said: "The surname is Meng, and Meng is not the head of Meng." ”

"That's it, Pang Xianling and that Mengdutou seem to have a good conversation, so when the meal was served, Pang Xianling brought out three jars of wine from his palanquin, and wanted to drink with me, saying that it was to catch the wind for the head of Mengdu in the capital."

Yan Shu scolded: "How can you drink alcohol when escorting officials, this Meng Fei is afraid that he is confused." ”

Liu Youlun said with a smile: "Yes, the villain also said it at the time, but the Pang County Order said that Niutouyi is only a few miles away from the county seat, and hundreds of soldiers in the small military camp in the county town are close at hand, and it has been peaceful for several years. ”

"The villain really can't resist him, plus the wine is good wine, and everyone in the post station often drinks when they have nothing to do on weekdays, during this time, the messengers in the capital are endless, and they haven't touched alcohol or food for almost a month, so everyone wants to drink two sips to moisten their throats; The villain was confused, and he didn't think much about it and stopped refusing it. ”

The escorted Lord Tang didn't seem to want to come out to drink with everyone, so Pang Xian Ling ordered to send a jar of wine and a table of dishes into the small courtyard, and Meng Dutou was really careful, he brought five out to drink, and the remaining eight or nine stayed in the courtyard to guard; After three rounds of drinking, everyone couldn't care about anything else, so they closed the gate of the post station, and called the patrol and the lookout brothers to come down to eat together, and when I ate the third altar, I felt that the wine tasted a little strange, as if it was a little different from the wine I drank before, and I was about to speak, but suddenly the wine surged, and the villain fell drunk to the ground. ”

Su Jin smiled and nodded: "Then when you wake up the next day, you will have a bloody case, right?" ”

Liu Youlun said: "This adult is right, the next morning, after I woke up, I was busy searching, but there was nothing unusual; The county magistrate and the first person of Namengdu were gone, and I think they must have gone back, and everyone drank secretly, and they did not patrol all night, and they were all worried; So I asked the handyman to send morning tea and water to the small courtyard, but I didn't expect it...... Unexpectedly, more than a dozen people, including the prisoner, were all killed. ”

"You said that the third jar of wine tastes a little strange, what is a strange way?" Su Jin asked.

Liu Youlun said: "I can't say it, it seems that there is some sour taste in the wine, in short, the taste is not right." ”

"Your tongue is so good? After drinking two jars in front, can you still identify the peculiar smell in the wine? ”

"This ...... To tell you the truth, the small amount of wine is very good, and it is said that these dozens of people drank three jars, even if I drank a large jar alone, I would never be able to get drunk, this wine is really strange, and the strength of the wine is so big. Liu Youlun smacked his tongue.

Yan Shu scolded: "Stupid, the wine is sour, it is caused by Mongolian medicine, you have such a good amount of alcohol, but you were knocked down by a few bowls of wine, what is it if you are not poisoned?" ”

"Huh? Drug? The wine was brought by the county magistrate, and he slapped the mud seal in front of me and waiting, how could he be anesthetic? ”

Yan Shu scolded angrily: "Idiot, of course you have to pat the mud seal in front of you, will you still drink the medicine in front of you?" ”

Liu Youlun was stunned and said, "My lord is saying...... Is there a problem with the alcohol brought by the prefectural magistrate? ”

Yan Shu was noncommittal, twisted his beard and thought for a while: "Then why did you hide this matter and not report it?" ”

Liu Youlun kowtowed and said: "I waited for a drink and made a mistake, which led to more than a dozen lives in the post station, who would dare to say it." In addition, on the second day, Pang County Commander came to the post station again to gather us together on the occasion of the investigation, saying that this matter is very important, and everyone is afraid that they will not be able to get out of it, if they admit to drinking and making mistakes, they are afraid that everyone will go to prison, so it is better to keep his mouth shut, he will write in the case submission that the strongman comes and goes strangely, although we are scrupulous in our duties, but we are not aware of it at all, so that everyone can protect themselves. ”

"So, you made an offensive and defensive alliance to conceal everything, didn't you?" Yan Shu shouted.

"The little ones should be damned, the little ones should be damned." Liu Youlun kowtowed wildly and kept begging.

Yan Shu sighed, waved his hand, and said, "Escort out, so that you can guard it." ”

Liu Youlun was taken out of the hall, there was a dead silence in the hall, Yan Shu said to Fu Bi and Su Jin: "What do you think? ”

Fu Bi said: "My lord, this matter has become clear, Pang De must have been instructed by someone to get the news that Tang Jie had gone to this post, so he integrated the sweat medicine into the wine in advance, sealed the mud seal and brought it to trick everyone to drink, after everyone was overturned, the robbers outside used a ladder to come in and kill Tang Jie and the escorted officers and soldiers cleanly; Afterwards, in order to cover up, Pound made an offensive and defensive alliance with the post guards, and lied that the strongman sneaked in, and everyone was unaware; Ying Tianti came to investigate, there were no climbing footprints on the wall, and the people in the courtyard outside lied that they were patrolling at night, and the conclusion was naturally that the bloody case was committed by a master, and everyone could not detect it. ”

Yan Shu nodded, turned his head to look at Su Jin, who was silent, and asked, "What do you think?" ”

Su Jin paced back and forth with his hands in his hands, and only said after a while: "I don't see it that way." ”

Fu Bi was stunned and said, "Isn't that so?" It's already obvious. ”

Su Jin said: "Menghan medicine is Pang De's handiwork, this matter is almost certain; Pound was instructed by others, and this matter is almost a foregone conclusion, because Pound has no reason to intercept and kill Tang Jie, even though there may have been grievances between the two before, but Tang Jie has been transferred to another party, and Pang De must have already known that Tang Jie was promoted and secretly descended this time, the promotion was fake, and the bad luck was true; Therefore, there was no need for Pound to kill him to vent his anger. ”

Fu Bi's eyes widened and said, "It turns out that you even doubt whether Tang Jie was killed by bandits?" ”

Su Jin said: "Of course you have to doubt, all possibilities are impossible, the appearance will blind your eyes, and your thinking can't be led by criminals." ”

Fu Bi smiled: "Then the conclusion is not the same as mine?" ”

Su Jin smiled and said, "Brother, don't blame, I'm not doubting your judgment, I'm just proposing another possibility." ”

Yan Shu said: "Yanguo, listen to Su Jin." ”

Su Jin said: "My lord, my guess is that the purpose of that group of people is to take Tang Jie's head, and the number of them must not be very large, because if they have a lot of people, they can directly break in and don't have to go through a lot of trouble to design these joints, the more joints the easier it is to make mistakes, so my guess is that their number is not as large as guessed in the official document of Yousi." ”

Yan Shu nodded and said, "That makes sense." ”

Su Jin continued: "Their purpose is actually just to kill Tang Jie, so it's a little strange that all the soldiers escorted were killed. ”

Fu Bi interjected: "What? Didn't they kill these soldiers? ”

Su Jin said: "If I am a murderer and my purpose is to kill Tang Jie, then after I enter the post station, after killing Tang Jie, do I need to kill those drunken escort soldiers?" Besides, the biggest trouble is that there are still six jailers drunk in the hall, so do I have to run to the hall and carry everyone back to the courtyard one by one, and then slaughter them with a knife? ”

Fu Bi opened his mouth and stammered: "This ...... It seems unlikely. ”

Yan Shu smiled and said, "It's not impossible, but it's impossible." Su Jin's analysis is right, their target is Tang Jie, because Tang Jie has a lot of evidence of some people, and their purpose is to destroy the mouth, as for these escorted soldiers, the two sides have nothing to do with each other, and they really shouldn't be killed. ”

Fu Bi was stunned and said, "Then who killed these soldiers?" ”

Su Jin said: "It depends on who these soldiers pose a threat to. ”

Fu Bi thought for a long time and said, "Who can pose a threat to you?" ”

Su Jin said with a smile: "The most direct threat is to the Pang Depang County Order. ”

"What do you mean by that?"

The wine that Pound brought and strongly invited these soldiers to drink, which eventually led to the killing of Tang Jie; What should be the first reaction of these escorted soldiers when they wake up? ”

Fu Bi said: "Naturally, I want to suspect Pound, suspect that he deliberately drunk everyone, so that others have a chance." ”

Su Jin said with a smile: "That's right, these people in the post station Pang De may be able to suppress and form an offensive and defensive alliance, these escorted soldiers are the personal guards of Lord Sansi and Lord Fu, will he buy Pang De's account?" And it is obvious that they are all alive, and Tang Jie is dead, this matter is obviously unreasonable, after all, the order they got was to escort Tang Jie to Beijing safely every step of the way, no matter how they quibbled, these soldiers couldn't lie, so they would definitely not help Pound lie together, and in this way, Pound would have nothing to hide. ”

Fu Bi suddenly realized, grabbed Su Jin's shoulder and shook it: "The little brother is really a god, you speculated as if you saw it with your own eyes, it must be so." ”

Su Jin laughed and said: "It's just speculation, and maybe there are hidden secrets that I don't know, but I think eight or nine are not far from ten, and the rest of the matter is to take this person early tomorrow morning when Pang De came to see him off, and I will know it in the first trial." ”

Yan Shu applauded, he looked at Su Jin with admiration, this sixteen-year-old young man, the maturity of thinking about problems in his mind has exceeded half of the people, this person has a very high understanding, and is willing to use his brain, the whole thing is almost vivid under his analysis.

"Separate the people in the courtyard, take down the confessions to check, and then detain them one by one, and ride people to Ying Tianfu overnight to report the matter to Bao Zheng, asking him to come early tomorrow morning to take over the prisoner, and the follow-up of this matter will be handed over to Bao Zheng." Yan Shu ordered.

Fu Bi agreed, and then went to instruct to handle it, Su Jin yawned, said goodbye and walked out of the back door of the hall, Yan Biyun, Xiao Sui'er, Huanniang and others were already waiting in the back to hear the news, seeing Su Jin gathered around to listen to the news, Su Jin explained while leading everyone to the accommodation, bumpy for a day, and took a lot of thought, he was so tired that he didn't want to move.
