It can be seen that Bai Yousi, an old lady, is still very prestigious. At least, Wenwenfang often treats guests on weekdays, so that when Zhang Xing and others were on patrol to make announcements, almost 10% of the people who promised to go were willing to go. There may be a very few people who really don't want to go, but they don't show it in person.
As for the money, Bai Sanniang directly promised each person fifty taels.
Regarding this, Zhang Xing roughly analyzed that either thirty taels was too little and the Bai family felt embarrassed, or the risk of going this time was greater than imagined, and thirty taels was too shabby.
But in short, that afternoon, all members of the second patrol team of the Jingan Taichung Town Fu Division gathered on the main island of Jingan Taipei.
Among the twenty-seven riders, under the red ribbon, there are one black ribbon, three white ribbons, and twenty-two patrol riders. They all wear standard brocade clothes, warrior crowns, and embroidered swords. Most of them bring their favorite horses with them. Qin Bao, who loved horses but couldn't bear to ride them, also borrowed official horses. Then he took out the patrol documents, identification number plate, some dry food, change, and several mules and pack horses at the black tower. After getting ready, it was still bright, and he went directly out of the city to the west.
That evening, we followed the valley water on the other side of Xiyuan and arrived at the foot of Mount Xiao.
Between the eastern and western capitals, the mountains and rivers are probably the busiest and most critical route in the entire Wei Dynasty. The roads are smooth and the official post system is complete. As the most representative violent organization in the Wei Dynasty, the Jinyi Patrol Group deserves to be granted receive due treatment.
What's interesting is that just twenty or thirty miles out of Dongdu, the officials on the road became obviously wary and cowed when they saw the expressions of the Jinyi patrolmen.
There is no way, who made you a bad spy with the power to collect intelligence and collect reports?
Just after dinner in the evening, the dirty spies began to hold a meeting, preparing to persecute Zhongliang. This time, both black and white ribbons were present, so Zhang Xing naturally listened honestly.
"The afternoon has been very complicated and hard, and I haven't been able to announce the specific details of the case. I will tell you about it."
Bai Yousi sat on the window holding a long sword. Qian Tang took two people to patrol. Deputy inspector Hu Yan, with black ribbon, naturally sat in the center of the main room in the west courtyard of Guanyi, and contracted the Jinyi patrol in the west courtyard. The riders give explanations.
In fact, the case itself couldn't be simpler.
Long before Zhang Wenda, the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, was assassinated, the imperial court found a letter in Yang Shen's military tent. The letter was written by Han Shixiong, the general manager of Liangzhou. After attacking the eastern capital, he raised troops from Liangzhou to attack the western capital, echoing each other.
And this letter was probably an important weight for Yang Shen to reject Li Shu's suggestion and determined to attack the Eastern Capital.
Of course, with the speed of Yang Shen's defeat, Han Shixiong could not have done anything, and the imperial court had already sent Han Changmei of Shangzhu State to capture this man... Han Changmei easily captured the opponent, and then brought him back to Xidu, and then captured him in Xidu. The person was handed over to the Beiya envoy there.
The envoy did not dare to neglect and immediately escorted the man back to the eastern capital.
However, when we walked to Tongguan, wasn't it raining continuously in summer? The road ahead was slightly obstructed, so we stopped at an official post on the east side of Tongguan and waited for the road to clear.
During this period, Han Shixiong invited the envoy to drink. After drinking for three consecutive days, he suddenly took the opportunity to run away...
Hearing this part of the case seems to be a complete accident, but in fact, all the Jinyi patrolmen, including Zhang Xing, know a little bit about the inside story, that is, they just want to hear it.
"The matter is on our shoulders. Some things have to be said." After Hu Yan introduced the superficial plot, Bai Yousi, who had never seen anyone before, suddenly appeared in the room and named another person. "Zhang Xing, please tell everyone the key points of what should be said and what shouldn't be said."
No one was surprised, and Zhang Xing took it calmly, but he handed out a few pieces of paper that he had already prepared, and then pointed out the key points with an expressionless face:
"There are four interesting things here... First, Han Changmei of the Shangzhu Kingdom was the uncle of Han Shixiong, the general manager of Liangzhou in the Zhu Kingdom; second, Han Yingong, the guard general of Tongguan, was another uncle of Han Shixiong; third, at that time Li Ding, a member of the Driving Department under the Ministry of War who was responsible for repairing roads destroyed by flash floods, was Han Shixiong's cousin and the nephew of Han Changmei and Han Yingong. Finally, according to Han Shixiong's letter, the reason why he wanted to raise troops to respond to Yang Shen , because he has always regarded his biological father, the former British Duke and Shangzhu Kingdom Han Bolong as unworthy, and felt that the court had treated his family badly. But everyone knew that the court really did not treat the Han family harshly, and it was just that General Han Changmei inherited the throne. The former British Duke’s military power, titles and settlements were nothing more than that, but it was normal for Han Shixiong to be angry about it, and there was indeed a long-term feud within the Han family over this.”
Having said it clearly, the scene in the main hall on the side of the station was still a bit tense and awkward.
It’s not that everyone doesn’t want to ask, after all, no matter how stupid you are, you may have noticed something fishy in this... But how should I put it, the former British Duke Han Bolong was one of the nine heroes of the founding of the Wei Dynasty and one of the four generals. There are some things that these people really don’t dare to do. Beaking.
"There's something I want to ask." In the end, it was Qin Bao who spoke carefully and seriously. "All the roads in the Guanlong area were opened by the Han family and his relatives. Why is it such a coincidence?"
"Let's put it this way." Without waiting for Li Qingchen to ridicule, Zhang Xing took the lead in answering. "If no one is caught this time, the court said that Manager Bai of Jingzhou also had some correspondence with Yang Shen, so he was arrested, and he ran away somewhere in Nanyang... You have to go and check. You can find ten people named Bai on the road. , there are still ten old members of the Bai family, plus ten in-laws... a wealthy family, that's what it is."
Everyone looked at Bai Yousi, who did not say anything. It was not clear whether he acquiesced, was too lazy to argue with his subordinates, or was thinking about something.
"So." Qin Bao hesitated and asked. "Maybe the Han family did it?"
"It's very possible that he just escaped." Zhang Xing nodded. "This is the best result... But we can't follow this. Han Yingong or Li Ding rescue people; after Han Changmei got rid of the suspicion, he rescued his nephew and deliberately led us to find out the innocence of Han Yingong and Li Ding; It is even possible for Han Changmei, Han Yingong, and Li Ding to join forces to save people."
Everyone sighed.
"That's how it is." Bai Yousi seemed to have just come back to his senses and ordered calmly. "Everyone must be prepared. General Han Yingong is stationed at Tongguan. He has always had a fierce temperament... Even though it is only three to five days' journey from Dongdu, you still have to be cautious and don't mess with him without permission... Once there, anyone will We are not allowed to leave the team without authorization, so we will start investigating from the station where Han Shixiong escaped, follow the steps and abide by the rules, I don't believe that a living person like him can disappear out of thin air."
Everyone quickly bowed their hands in awe.
One day later, the Jinyi patrol arrived at Taolinyi, fifteen miles east of Tongguan.
PS: Happy New Year everyone.
