Chapter 153: The Mystery of the Murderer (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
After talking with Father Sun, Fang Yingwu took the initiative to join Sun's father and daughter. Who knows if there are any other murderers? In the face of unpredictable danger to life, it seems that only by standing by Sun Xiaoniang's side can he feel safe.
The murderer was killed by an arrow, but his horse did not run away and became a trophy. Horses are more expensive than people these days, and it is a great gain to be able to capture a horse.
In this way, Father Sun drove the carriage in front, and Fang Yingwu and Sun Xiaoniang led a horse to follow behind-if it weren't for Fang Yingwu's oil bottle, Sun Xiaoniang would have run back and forth a few times.
Fang Yingwu was holding a horse borrowed from the students to practice, and Sun Xiaoniang was holding the trophy. As the sun set, two men and two horses dragged long shadows side by side, passing through the bluestone-mottled city gates.
The image may be romantic, provided that the corpses on horseback are ignored. Originally, Sun Xiaoniang habitually wanted to throw the corpse into the wild, but Fang Yingwu must bring the corpse back. He also wanted to follow up on the clues, and he couldn't be attacked so unexplained.
Sun Xiaoniang walked with her father all the year round, and she had a lot of knowledge inside and outside the frontier, so she reminded: "Fang Xianggong! From the point of view of the slave family, although this thief is wrapped in a bun to hide people's eyes, it seems that he is not from the Central Plains, and nine out of ten are from the thief's side. ”
Fang Yingwu couldn't help but fall into deep thought, he thought it was a herdsman from Biansai, but he didn't expect it to be a thief.
Although it is autumn and the side wall has entered the maximum alert period, it seems not strange that there are sporadic thieves on a single horse looking for a time to cross the mountains and mountains, and it is still possible.
But the strange thing is that this thief is crazy to hunt down himself. For what? Even if he wanted to assassinate, there were so many military attachés here in Yulin. They all seem to be more valuable than themselves, so why should they find themselves?
Or because I went to the book to plan for the side. Let the Beiyu know, so come and assassinate yourself? If you think about it, it's even more impossible!
In Yulin, at present, only Governor Yang and Master Cui know these strategies, and they are sealed to the imperial court, who will deliberately pay attention to these without anything special? The Beiyu only knew about burning, killing and looting, and had no substantial infiltration into the Central Plains, so it was impossible to know these contents.
Take 10,000 steps back and say, if it was an assassination carefully prepared by the Northern Prisoners, how could it be so reckless and hasty that there was not even a bow and arrow. Zuihou was put down by a cold arrow from Sun Xiaoniang.
Could it be that this thief is a psychopath who sneaks inside the side wall and kills people like crazy? And I was unlucky to bump into him?
Sure enough, the sudden murder that looks strange, Zuihou may be related to mental illness, Fang Yingwu sighed.
From the point of view of sloppiness, it does look like a mental illness, but there are still things that don't make sense. Psychopathy runs out and cuts people indiscriminately, how can this thief have such a clear goal and a resolute attitude to chase after himself to cut?
Come and think about it. Fang Yingwu was still confused, so this thing was really weird.
After entering the city, when I arrived at the central bell and drum tower, Fang Yingwu wanted to go west. The Sun father and daughter are going north. Sun Jing stopped the carriage, and the other party asked, "We are going to rest at Brother Sun Lin of Touguang Youku tonight, won't Fang Xianggong go back together?" ”
Just when I was on the road. Fang Yingwu only cared about pondering the origin of the thief, and did not explain his situation to the Sun family's father and daughter. At this time, he spoke: "In the lower Chengmeng Futai." Now he serves as a curtain seat next to the governor and runs a social school. ”
Taboo? Sun's father and daughter said they didn't understand such elegant words. Fang Yingwu explained in a very popular way: "It's the master!" ”
Mrs. Sun said with admiration: "Aren't all old men in their forties and fifties supposed to be masters?" Fang Xianggong is so powerful! He is worthy of being a reader in Jiangnan. ”
The old and sophisticated Sun Jing was not surprised. Being able to read is a key these days, and it's not surprising what kind of opportunities you have.
Fang Yingwu hugged his fists and said goodbye: "Tonight, I will first bring the body of this thief back to find someone to carefully examine it, and then visit tomorrow to thank you." ”
Sun Jing shook his hand and said: "Saving a life is better than building a seventh-level floating slaughter, this is a gesture, no need to thank you." Besides, there is no hurry, tomorrow we have to hand over the grain into the warehouse first. ”
Back at the governor's court, Fang Yingwu put the thief's body in the gatehouse, and then quickly went to Governor Yang to report.
Governor Yang was also taken aback, he didn't expect a thief to sneak attack Fang Yingwu in broad daylight, and then he also fell into the same confusion as Fang Yingwu, where did this thief come from, and what was the purpose?
Master Cui, who was next to him, frowned and thought for a moment, and the other party asked, "If it's for you, then who knows your whereabouts?" ”
Fang Yingwu thought for a while, "I was with social studies students in the morning, and when I talked about going to run a horse in the afternoon, many students knew about it. ”
"You told me about your whereabouts in the morning, and you were attacked outside the city in the afternoon. If the thieves were going to you, they must have lurked in the city or near before, so that they could be so quick and chase after hearing your news. Master Cui analyzed.
A thief lurking in the city? Fang Yingwu was originally a fan of the authorities, but after this reminder, he suddenly realized that he vaguely thought of something.
The answer was about to come out, and Master Cui concluded: "In my opinion, this thief must be a character in the envoy of the Northern Captivity!" ”
Recently, there was only one group of dalu in the city, and that was the envoys and retinues sent by Mandulu to ask for tribute.
According to the usual practice, Governor Yang kept these people in the mansion and kept them under strict guard, and then played the imperial court. It was only after the arrival of the imperial edict that it was determined how to treat these people.
From Jishu's point of view, it is very feasible for these people to know the news in the morning or noon, and then go out of the city in the afternoon to find Fang Yingwu to chase and kill. It is impossible for all these people to be dispatched, and they are closely monitored, but it is much less difficult to sneak out alone.
Governor Yang immediately called Chang Sui and instructed: "Go to the treasury to get a few urns of wine, and then you personally send it to the mansion, and say that this hospital has heard that the Tartars are good at drinking, and each person will reward an urn of fine wine!" ”
Half an hour later, the chief came back and reported: "There is indeed one less Tartar, and the others are nowhere to be found, it is said that it is possible that he admired the Central Plains and ran out without permission." ”
Fang Yingwu immediately blushed and shouted at Governor Yang with a thick neck: "There must be a traitor!" Damn it! Damn it! ”
Fang Yingwu is sincerely angry, and second, he wants to express his feelings through a fierce attitude. Neither Governor Yang nor Master Cui blamed Fang Yingwu for his gaffe, if it weren't for the internal and external news, how could the thief touch Fang Yingwu's whereabouts?
In this town, the precautions against the northern captives were the strictest, and even Governor Yang did not meet with the Tartar envoys until he received instructions from the imperial court, but only locked them in the mansion and strictly guarded and isolated. In this situation, no matter who or what reason, as long as the news is communicated, it is no different from a spy.
"I'm not surprised to say that there are people who are inside and out." Master Cui sighed faintly, "The local affairs of Yulin are all in charge of the Yulin Health Office, including the errands, supplies, and caretakings of the local mansion."
Master Cui stopped talking about this, the beams of Yulinwei and Fang Yingwu, there is no need to mention it.
Fang Yingwu couldn't help but glance sideways at Master Cui a few times, those who can be masters really have strengths, this Mr. Cui's logic seems to be very good. Clueless, he just let him find a line out of thin air. (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please read it on m.qidian.com. )
