Chapter 53: Confusion (Part II)

Song Zheng said of course: "It's very important, you help me check two people, Wang Liancheng and Tian Sanshui, I guess they are all Long Yiwei's people, maybe pseudonyms." ”

Xiao Zhen asked, "How important?"

"It's important if I can catch the finch in advance. ”

The light of the jade talisman was extinguished.

Song Zheng didn't wait: "Call Miao Xiaoyi over again." ”

Miao Xiaoyi's sister and brother had just gone out for a while, and before the chairs were hot in the room arranged for them, a captain came to shout. Miao Xiaosong muttered dissatisfiedly, but Miao Xiaoyi knew that those officials were just supporting their sisters and brothers for a moment: "Don't complain, Lord Song rescued you, and we have a great favor." ”

Miao Xiaosong snorted: "It's not all for you, sister. ”

Miao Xiaoyi shook her head lightly and said, "No, this Lord Song, I feel a little different from others. ”

Miao Xiaosong rolled his eyes, not believing it at all: "The world is as black as a crow." ”

The two appeared in front of Song Zheng again, and Miao Xiaoyi said, "My lord wants to know the news of that Huaxu ancient countryman." "She used it in exchange for her brother's conditions.

Song Zheng nodded: "How did you know we were investigating him?"

"The caravan also has its own people in Zhenshanwei, but their status is not high. We wanted to seize some of Ma Daquan's incriminating evidence in exchange for him to release my brother, so our people secretly overheard Ma Daquan's words and knew that he was investigating the affairs of the Huaxu Ancient Kingdom recently.

Then you came again, my lord, and the rumors in the city, I boldly guessed it, but fortunately I guessed correctly. ”

"Tell me everything you know about this person. ”

"Yes. When the folk girl learned that the person Ma Daquan was looking for was a spy of the ancient country of Huaxu, I also wanted to find this person one step ahead of time and use him to replace Xiaosong.

Not only did our caravan have our own business, but we also had contacts with the high-profile coachmen in the city, many of whom were also members of our caravan.

Later, an old coachman of the Zhou family in the west of the city told me that their master had ordered him to send a guest to Xiaoshan the day before. There is no shop in front of the village and no store in that place, and there are Xiaoshan bandits rampant, and ordinary people will never go. So the old coachman kept an eye on it, and found that although the guest's outer robe was our Hongwu style, the inner robe was the style of the ancient Huaxu country, and he guessed that this was a person from the ancient Huaxu country. ”

Speaking of this, Song Zheng can also guess the rest of the part, this clue Miao Xiaoyi may have just secretly written it down at that time, and later Leopard Taowei and Zhenshanwei exterminated the Xiaoshan bandits on the border of the two states, and Song Zheng took the opportunity to enter Xizhou, Miao Xiaoyi was immediately able to confirm that the guest that day was the spy of the ancient country of Huaxu that Ma Daquan and Song Zheng were looking for.

This clue can directly find the trace of the bird, and he immediately said: "I want to see this coachman immediately." ”

......

In the backyard of the Duanyang Horse Gang General Altar, an ordinary carriage is parked, and it looks dilapidated in some places.

Miao Xiaoyi said: "On the same day, I ordered someone to replace this carriage, and no one has ever sat in this carriage since that spy of the ancient country of Huaxu." ”

Song Zheng nodded, Miao Xiaoyi was meticulous and thoughtful, no wonder she was able to take charge of the Duanyang Horse Gang.

The old coachman stood beside the carriage, looking cautious. Song Zheng asked: "The specific story, please tell me again." ”

The old coachman had never seen such a big official in his life, and as soon as Song Zheng opened his mouth, he subconsciously wanted to kneel down, but was stopped by Song Zheng: "Don't be polite, old man, you are an elder." ”

The old coachman trembled, quietly pulled Miao Xiaoyi aside, and asked in a low voice: "Is he really an official, why is he different from the ones our master knows......

Miao Xiaoyi smiled: "He is now the biggest official in Duanyang City, so he naturally has everyone's bearing, and he is of course different from those small officials and officials that your master knows." ”

Song Zheng pretended not to hear it, and the old coachman came over again, and then said: "I usually do miscellaneous work in the Zhou family, if there are too many guests, and the coachman at home is too busy, he will let me put on the car to help deliver it."

Several of the coachmen in the family were idle that day, and I didn't expect the master to let me go by name. And the guests are not staying at home, they are at the Homeinn four blocks away.

The lord specially instructed me not to say much when I picked up the guests, and he told me to go wherever I went, and just deliver it. ”

Song Zheng nodded: "What about the return trip?

"It's not. The lord said that we just have to send, I picked up the man at the Rugui Inn, he said to go to Pinglinkou under the Xiao Mountain, he spoke a little strangely, I later figured out, it should be because he has the accent of Huaxu Ancient Kingdom, and he wants to cover it up so it seems a little strange.

I sent him to Pinglinkou, and he went up the mountain himself, and I came back. ”

Song Zheng said to Du Baihu behind him: "Reward him with three hundred taels of silver, and arrange an errand for him in the property below Zhenshanwei." ”

Du Baihu responded, Song Zheng turned around and said to the old coachman: "The old man took me to the Rugui Inn to have a look."

The old coachman was moved: "Yes, my lord." ”

The Song family is not well-known in Duanyang City, but they have a solid background. They have dealings with many families and sects in Xizhou, such as the Lin Zhuqiu Wu family, the Ouye family, the Chongdao family, etc. Taking over some business from these big forces, although each business does not make much money, it is endless.

The head of the Song family is good at dancing with long sleeves and is recognized as a safe worker. There is nothing superfluous about what should be said and what should be done.

Leopard Taowei had someone to secretly spy on the Song family, Song Zheng asked the old coachman to catch the carriage of the day, he sat in the carriage, and came to the Homecoming Inn.

When he arrived at the street outside the inn, Song Zheng ordered: "Wait here." ”

Qi Bingchen was a little worried: "My lord......"

Song Zheng waved his hand: "Don't startle the snake for the time being." ”

The person received by the old coachman, whose name was registered at the Rugui Inn was "Yan Jiusan", and he lived in the No. 6 room of the inn at that time. With Song Zheng's current cultivation, he sneaked into the inn quietly and silently. He followed the door number and found the No. 6 room of Tianzi.

It just so happened that there were no guests here today, so Song Zheng gently pushed open the door and entered, raising the Void Divine Town to look - after a moment, there was a burst of doubt.

The relatively clear traces of the soul in the carriage were not the same as those in the room.

According to the time, the swallow bird checked into the inn and was then sent to Xiaoshan by carriage, it should be two or three days ago, in such a short time, it is impossible for the traces of the soul to completely dissipate without a trace.

He looked at it again with the Heavenly True Spirit Dew, and the result was still the same.

He vaguely felt that something was wrong, but fortunately he was cautious and did not bring Long Yiwei over to investigate with great fanfare. But what's the problem? He pondered.

Originally, this time, he was very confident that he would find the bird, as long as he found the carriage and the same trace of soul in the room, he would be able to find the "true face" of the bird. Then it's easy to catch the finches.

"Could it be that the old coachman is mistaken, isn't it the No. 6 room of Tianzi?" he guessed, and "raised" the Void God Town, shining on the entire inn, even including the location of the carriage at the entrance of the inn, and still did not find the same trace of soul as in the carriage.

"What went wrong?" I thought I had caught the most important clue and everything was about to be solved, but I didn't expect to get anything.

After thinking for a while, he quietly left, and a street away, Qi Bingchen and the others were waiting with anticipation, and Song Zheng met their gaze and shook his head slightly.

He couldn't rule out the suspicion of the old coachman, and glanced at Du Baihu, who understood, naturally someone was secretly staring at the old coachman.

"Send someone to guard here, and immediately after dawn live in room No. 6 of Tianzi as a business traveler. ”

"Let's go to Pinglinkou again. ”

This time, he only took Qi Bingchen and the old coachman, and they flew away in an instant. The old coachman pointed out the location where the swallow bird got out of the car, and Song Zheng looked up and saw that it was still nothing.

On the barren mountains around here, there are some traces of souls, but none of them are the same as those in the carriage and inn.

But this time Song Zheng was not surprised, he said lightly: "Go back." ”

The old coachman on the road was a little uneasy, but he didn't ask anything. may be precisely this kind of character that the master of the Song family will choose him to send the birds.

When he returned to the small courtyard, Du Baihu and others greeted him: "My lord, how is it?"

Song Zheng waved his hand and was about to speak, when the jade talisman in his arms flashed, it was Xiao Zhen. He said to the people, "All right, it's been a hard night tonight, take them to rest." ”

After they went out, Song Zheng took out the jade talisman, and Xiao Zhen's voice sounded from the jade talisman again: "That Tian Sanshui can't be found, there shouldn't be this person." Wang Liancheng is a spy of Zhenshanwei, his real name is Wang Jingzu, and his public identity is a businessman in Duanyang City.

Two months ago, Ma Daquan reported the death of Wang Jingzu. ”

Song Zheng confirmed his guess: "Thank you, sir." ”

He secretly regretted: It's a pity, two months have passed, and the traces of the soul have almost dissipated, and it is difficult to trace. Fortunately, there were other clues to follow, and he had already arranged them in advance.

......

At the same time, in Zhenshanwei's yamen, Ma Da sat still as much as water, and several of his henchmen were confused: "My lord, what should I do, I can't hide this matter!"

Bang!

Ma Daquan slapped heavily: "Waste, what are you panicking about? The clues have been cut off, what can he find? We arrested Miao Xiaosong, and we just wanted to confirm whether the Duanyang Ma Gang knew something, and after repeated interrogations, that kid probably really didn't know anything."

We are all veterans of Long Yiwei, and we deal with these hands and tails neatly, even if Xiao Zhen comes in person, I can't find anything, Song Zheng is a new ding, what can he do if he has a position? At most, he is only suspicious, and he has no ability to catch our evidence. ”

Several subordinates calmed down, thought about the part they were responsible for, and indeed all of them had been dealt with, and breathed a sigh of relief: "What the lord said is that we are in chaos. ”

Ma Daquan waved his hand, impatiently drove these fools away, took out the rarely used homophone bone note, gritted his teeth and asked, "How much time do you need?"

"Three days. A low, hoarse voice replied with two words, and the homophone note was broken.

Ma Daquan gritted his teeth again, opened his secret cabinet, took out a golden box from it, opened it vigorously, and there was a special bow and crossbow inside.

Song Zheng would feel familiar if he was here, because Zhao Xuan also used this: the Eastern Wilderness Crossbow.

He loaded the bolt into his mustard finger, and let out a long breath.
