Chapter 75: Showdown
Duyu Marquis Song Wen's words were very soft, soft like a spring breeze. But when these words heard Li Jing's ears, they became a hurricane, sweeping through his mind and blowing his thoughts up. Li Jingqiang pretended to be calm and said: "Du Yuhou's joke is not very funny, and you can't bear such a joke if you are low." As he spoke, he secretly looked around with his afterglow, but apart from Song Wen, there seemed to be only the legendary guards from before.
Song Wen seemed to know exactly what Li Jing was thinking, and said with a smile: "Don't look at it, I'll bring a guard over today." But if you plan to kill me like Feng Yanqing, I advise you to dispel this idea. This is a barracks, you don't think it's really hard for you to kill me quietly, do you? Saying that, he turned around very casually, completely exposing his entire back in front of Li Jing, and then chose a slightly flat stone and sat down on the spot.
At that moment, Li Jing's hand had indeed pressed to the horizontal handle of the knife on his waist. He didn't know why Song Wen said those words, but he was sure that the other party must have already had some definite evidence, otherwise, it would be impossible for Song Wen to come and make such a joke with him in person. It's just that after some fierce thoughts in his heart, he still didn't draw his sword. Because he was in the camp at this time, once he drew his sword, even if he could really kill Song Wen, he would not escape death. The more important reason was that Li Jing judged that Song Wen didn't seem to have any intention of dealing with him. Otherwise, Song Wen didn't need to come in person at all, and directly gave an order, this Dengzhou camp was full of more than 3,000 horses, and it was difficult for him Li Jing to fly with wings. He let go of the handle of the knife, wanting to hear what Song Wen meant.
Song Wen sat on the ground and beckoned to Li Jing: "You can also sit casually, don't pestle there, I have to raise my head and talk to you if I say something." ”
Li Jing sat down on the side, "I don't know what Du Yuhou of Lu Dao said meant, Feng Changshi was assassinated, everyone in Dengzhou knew that it was done by the pirate town Donghai, but Du Yuhou said that he did it, and he was wronged in the lowly position and looked down on the lowly position, the lowly position is just a small general, how can I have the ability to kill Feng Changshi and his twenty elite family members to kill me?" ”
"On the surface, you really don't have this ability, but in fact, you have this ability, and you have done it." Song Wen looked sideways at Li Jing, and the glow in his eyes flashed. Li Jing's composure surprised him a little. In fact, when Song Wen first learned that Feng Yanqing had been killed, the first thing that came to mind was that Cui Yunqing and Li Wei had killed Feng Yanqing. Because in Dengzhou, they are the only ones who have such a big enmity with Feng.
Later, I went to the scene, although various signs show that everything seems to be the work of the pirate town of Donghai. However, this result was overturned by him the next day, he had never heard of Zhen Donghai and Feng Yanqing having a grudge, even if there was a feud, Zhen Donghai was just a group of pirates, they could not dare to run to Penglai to assassinate Feng Yanqing so arrogantly, and brutally beheaded more than 20 people first, piled up their heads into Jingguan, and threw their corpses into the wilderness.
What's more, there are still many clues at the scene. Although the scene was cleaned, many horseshoe marks were still found, indicating that those who assassinated Feng that night had many horses, which was the biggest reason why none of Feng Yanqing's more than 20 people escaped. In addition, he specially looked for the person who collected the corpse afterwards, and according to the confession, most of Feng Yanqing and others were already dead before their heads were cut off. The causes of death varied, ranging from arrows to spears, to spear punctures, and to several others with wounds similar to spears but distinctly different, presumed to have been inflicted by horses. And there are a few of the worst deaths who were killed entirely by a large barbed blunt object, and it is speculated that they died from a mace or a weapon such as a mace.
Horseback, spear, horse lance, mace or wolf tooth, these clues added up one by one, and Song Wen couldn't help but immediately suspect that Feng Yanqing was the result of their death at the hands of pirates. Even if the pirates have horses, they are at sea all the year round, and they are most accustomed to short soldiers, and it is impossible to use spears, or weapons such as horse lances, maces, and wolf teeth.
Horses and horses are expensive, and pirates may have very little, and other bandits may have even less. What's more, many people were found dead at the scene from bows and arrows, and there were many wounds that showed that a large part of them were armoured arrows used in the army. Judging from the equipment used by these people who ambushed Feng Yanqing, Song Wen, a veteran of the battlefield, had immediately deduced that the ambush of Feng Yanqing was not a pirate or a bandit at all, and they were most likely a well-equipped family team.
He once again suspected that this matter was manipulated by Cui Yunqing and Li Wei behind the scenes, and later a news reported to him by Han Zhong, the envoy of the prison city, made him more sure of his thoughts. Han Zhong reported to him that the Zhendonghai Shock Kill Sticker found at the scene that day was a bit strange. Han Zhongjiu Zhen Penglai also knows some about the pirates of the Zhendong Sea. As far as he knows, Zhen Donghai does have a shock kill sticker, but Zhen Donghai's shock kill sticker has always used a palm-sized brass sheet to make a sticker, with a shock word on the front instead of a town word, and a kill word on the reverse. But the one I found that day was a wooden sign, and it was actually written with the word town instead of Zhen.
"The day Feng Yanqing was killed, it was the day of Yu Gong's departure banquet. I remember that you seemed to have left at about the same time as Feng Changshi that day, it seems that it was before the city gate was closed, but as far as I know, only 68 of the 100 soldiers of Zuo Yidu returned to the camp before dark that day, and 32 of them did not return to the camp together. Later, the officer on duty confirmed that the 32 people were not seen returning to the camp until dawn that day, including General Li and Coach Lin, Deputy General Wang, and Zhang Yuhou and others. But the next day, you all showed up, how do you explain it? ”
He didn't wait for Li Jing to explain, waved his hand and shook it: "It's not just interesting, I remember that General Li has a horse lance in his hand, and Lin Wei and Lin Wu brothers also have a horse lance in their hands, and Wang Chong also has a wolf tooth in his hand." And if I'm not mistaken, these three horse lances and a wolf tooth are all won by fighting with Feng Liang, and it is precisely because of this that the Feng family seems to have a very tense relationship with Captain Li. ”
"And guess what else I found? I found out that Li Jiangtou also kept more than a dozen horses at Lin Wei's home in the city, and I also found out that Zuo Yidu had lost a lot of arrows in training a few days ago, especially in armor and arrows. Also, the day after Feng Liang's uncle and nephew died, several unity soldiers on the left were 'injured' during training."
Every time Song Wen said a word, Li Jing's complexion couldn't help but change a point. He thought that he had thought about the matter of killing the seal very carefully, but he didn't expect that it would be clearly investigated by Song Wen one by one. But even so, he had to take one step at a time, and before he didn't understand what Song Wen meant, he could only hold on: "What Du Yuhou said seems to be related to two things, but maybe it's just a coincidence." Based on these, I'm afraid that I can't conclude that Feng Yanqing was killed by me, right? ”
"If you really want proof, I can give you more. Or, to put it simply, directly interrogate all the dozens of suspects separately, do you think everyone will deny it to the end like you? ”
Li Jing didn't speak, he was waiting for Song Wen's next topic. Everything is as Song Wen said, for Song Wen there is no need for any evidence at all, just with these, it is enough to kill Li Jing directly on the spot. What's more, even if Li Jing really wants evidence, it will only be a matter of minutes. But since Song Wen didn't arrest him immediately, but said such a big deal, he obviously had other plans.
Seeing that Li Jing was still calm at this time, Song Wen seemed to be a little surprised, and looked directly at Li Jing for a long time and said: "You are just a pawn in this matter, I'm afraid there are people behind the scenes, is it Cui Yuanjun or King Zhao?" Or is it both? ”
Li Jing's eyelids fluttered, and he finally knew the purpose behind Song Wen's big call. A little Li Jing is obviously not in his eyes, his real goal is to assassinate Dengzhou and Dengzhou. Hearing this, Li Jing couldn't help but get excited. If Song Wen thinks that he is the one who killed the seal, then Li Jing and Cui Yunqing and Zhao Wang Li Wei can find a way to protect him. But once Cui Yunqing and Li Wei are involved, then he, Li Jing, really can't protect anyone.
"This matter is all done by Li Jing alone, please don't mess with your teacher and King Zhao."
"You don't have to be nervous!" Song Wen saw that Li Jing was finally no longer so calm, and couldn't help but show a rare smile on his face. He thought he was not afraid of heaven and earth, but it turned out that everything had a limit. "Actually, I told you so much, I just want to tell you and your teachers, although I, Song Wen, have just come to Dengzhou, I am not a fool. Feng Yanqing, in fact, I hate it too, and if I kill it, I will kill it, it's nothing remarkable. ”
Li Jing was stunned, and didn't understand what Song Wen's 180-degree transformation was for?
"In fact, the festival commander has always admired Cui Tingshi and King Zhao, and of course Yu Gong. This time I came to Dengzhou, I urgently needed to join forces with a few people, but they didn't seem to be interested in my cooperation as a martial artist. But that Feng Yanqing always ran to him like a fly and buzzed, now that Feng Yanqing is dead, there is no longer any obstacle between me and your teachers. I hope you will bring a message to Cui Tingshi, I will hold a banquet in the mansion tonight, I hope Cui Tingshi can enjoy it. After saying this, he didn't pay attention to Li Jing's half-believing gaze, got up and patted his buttocks, flicked his sleeves and greeted the guard in the distance, and left flutteringly.
Li Jing's eyes kept watching Song Wen's figure go away, and he still didn't understand what kind of medicine was going to be sold in his gourd. Could it be that Song Wen really didn't care about the death of Feng Yanqing and the others, but wanted to join forces with Cui Yunqing and them?
