"You also know, General Han...Although Han Ni is in rebellion, the Han family is a three-pillar country. The upper pillar country that personally captured Han Ni, Han Gong, although he talks about the misfortune of the family, he also told us that we must He treated his nephew well. When he arrived at Tongguan, General Han Yingong also said the same thing. Along the way, there were countless people from the Han family's old department who said the same thing. How dare we disobey him? So we treated him with courtesy along the way.
"Actually, as early as Chang'an, Han Ni told us that he would definitely die if he left. Why would he die in a dream if he didn't live drunk? I think it makes sense...
"At first, Han Ni drank by himself. After leaving Chang'an, we started drinking with him, and there was no problem...
"Later, after passing Tongguan and seeing the east capital, the road was blocked by rain again, so I became more casual. I simply drank for three days. He was fine for the first two days, but he fell unconscious. We went back fine, and the result was On the last day, I heard that the road was open, and suddenly we drank so much that we fell unconscious, and when we woke up, he was gone..."
In the escort team sent by Xidu, there were about three people who could make the decision. One was the captain of Jinwu Guard, the other was Yuanwailang sent by the Ministry of Punishment, and the last one was, of course, the father-in-law of Beiya.
And these three people actually drank together.
"That's what it is."
In the evening, in the Taolinyi compound, after the three people who came out to greet him had finished speaking, Qian Tang immediately looked at Bai Yousi. "What do you think of the inspection?"
"What do you think, Brother Hu?" Bai Yousi turned to look at Hu Yan.
"It must have been premeditated and coordinated." Hu Yan frowned slightly. "He drank alcohol many times to paralyze the guards, and suddenly drugged him. After drugging, he unlocked the door and ran away without disturbing anyone. The summer rain was continuous and the roads were muddy. Someone had to help him when he went to hide... But if this is the case, there is another problem, and that is this How sophisticated is the premeditation?"
"Not bad." Qian Tang also frowned. "This medicine is most likely given by someone, but how is the timing of the medicine determined? According to the date, place, or a temporary decision? If it is a temporary decision, who will make the decision and what opportunity? The most interesting thing is that we met at Taolinyi They were forced to wait for three days when a flash flood washed out the road ahead. When they were about to set off after the road was repaired, it was also the time when people were most lax, and they suddenly started... Could the flash flood be part of their plan?"
Bai Yousi went to see Zhang Xing again.
Zhang Xing had no choice but to nod perfunctorily: "Inspection, Qian Baishou probably means that we should consider the possibility that the escorting officers and soldiers have insiders."
Bai Yousi was speechless. Of course she understood what he meant. She wanted to hear if Zhang Xing, who had performed well recently, had any other opinions. If you want to be promoted, you have to work hard.
However, Zhang Xing was also helpless, because this was not what he was good at, and Qian Tang was so attentive. He obviously felt that his status was threatened, so why would he add fuel to the fire?
In fact, after the Nancheng operation that day, more than one person was aroused by his catfish.
"In short," Qian Tang nodded, summarizing more and more hastily. "The lower official believes that this matter should be investigated from within... But if there is an internal culprit, it should be among these three. At this time, Zhou Xiang is being tortured and interrogated."
The Jinyi patrolmen who had just arrived at Taolinyi, plus the original Jinwu Guard officers and soldiers of the escort team, officials from the Ministry of Punishment, and officials from Taolinyi itself, the whole yard came together to see the three escort leaders.
After a while, Wai Lang, a member of the Criminal Department, finally realized: "Are you going to torture us? Are you suspecting that we are internal agents?"
Bai Yousi nodded.
"No." The captain of the Jinwu Guard turned pale and quickly avenged his injustice. "If that's the case, why don't we go with General Han?"
"This is the inspector." Finally, the father-in-law swallowed. "I am a member of the palace, and I am in charge of the Bei Yamen..."
"Three, three." Li Qingchen stepped forward with the knife and reminded impatiently while holding the handle. "You three, please don't pretend to be stupid... What is Han Shixiong's identity? Now that he has escaped from such a scandalous case, can you three still be officials? Do you really think that you will continue to be officials? Return to Beiya... ...To put it bluntly, what if you are really wronged today? You deserve to be beaten to death, and no one will avenge you!"
"Tear off the official uniforms of these three prisoners, take them to the woodshed door and hang them up. First, they will be whipped twenty times and then talk about the matter!" Bai Yousi understood and ordered coldly.
No matter what, this inspector is always as good as others in his vigorous and resolute conduct.
The three of them were dumbfounded, their hands and feet were cold, but a patrolman in fine clothes had already swarmed up to them and began to take off their official uniforms. The three of them instinctively struggled to express their grievances, but they were beaten seven or eight times by the patrolman, who waved his scabbard and slapped their heads and faces seven or eight times. My nosebleeds splattered everywhere.
This scene was so startling that the other escorting officers and soldiers in the station courtyard started to fight and almost wanted to flee.
"This inspector!"
In the panic, the criminal department member Wai Lang, who had half of his clothes taken off and half of his white arms exposed, suddenly hugged the thigh of a patrolman, lowered his head and pointed in the direction of Bai Yousi, who was standing with a sword. "I have something to confess... That Eunuch Han took General Han into custody on the way... Han Ni gave fifty taels of gold, and when he got to Tongguan, he even married General Han Yingong. If we talk about internal cooperation, he must be the most likely!"
"Well said."
The captain of the Jinwu Guard also shouted quickly. "Han Laogou was originally a eunuch. He thought he could escape through the protection of Beiya, but instead he had nowhere to go... Unlike the two of us... it should be him!"
"You two bastards!" Eunuch Han, whose upper body clothes were completely torn off and his pants were half taken off, was shocked and angry. He gave up resistance but burst into tears. "Didn't you have a share in collecting the money? When General Han Yingong asked us to take care of Han Ni, who knelt down and called the general directly? When we were drinking on the last day, I said that the road was ready and we should go on. Who was it? What a shameful article, why do you want to stay drunk for half your life? Why are you blaming it all on me?"
However, no matter how the three people tried to defend themselves against the biting, Bai Yousi just remained silent, and the patrolmen naturally did not care. They only stripped off the official uniforms of the three people, leaving each one with a pair of obscene trousers. It was really embarrassing. He went under the eaves of the firewood house and was severely whipped twenty times in public.
Then, without putting the person down or changing his clothes, Qian Tang directly led four or five people over and asked them carefully.
Every time I ask a question, someone will wail a few words, and the yellow dog of the inn that is disturbed will bark from time to time, which is really like a soundtrack.
At the same time, Hu Yan had already taken Qin Bao and a few other serious people to inquire about the source of the drinks, check the layout of the inn, and analyze the escape route. And Li Qingchen also put his hands behind his back, and proudly went to introduce the background of Inspector Bai's family to the officials and sergeants in the escort team, and showed the documents stamped with the seal of the Prime Minister of Taichung, Jing'an...
For a while, it seemed impressive.
Of course, Bai Yousi's patrol team is the second largest patrol team in Jingantai. It has high-end military force like Bai Yousi and top nobles as the core and upper limit support, as well as experienced people like Hu Yan. To help lay a solid foundation, Qian Tang, Li Qingchen, and Qin Bao, who have different backgrounds and personalities, but who can be called universal young talents, serve as the framework.
Taken together, it is enough to be no weaker than any Jingantai peers.
Relatively speaking, Zhang Xingneng quickly became one of them and was recognized, even vaguely outstanding, so much so that Bai Yousi secretly placed high hopes on him, which shows that he is still half a person.
However, just when everyone was using their housekeeping skills and preparing to take care of their own house inspections, Zhang Xing seemed a little careless at this time - in the evening, under Bai Yousi's gaze, he held the knife , facing the sunset, walked into the peach forest south of Taolinyi and started picking peaches.
It was midsummer, and the peaches were still delicious. The inn officials were so frightened that they had no time to cry, and they didn't dare to chase them away with their dogs.
After eating about three peaches and making her mouth full of hair, Qingtian finally couldn't bear it any longer and walked over with her sword in her arms, her face looking terribly dark:
"Zhang Xing, are you free?"
Zhang Xing did not answer in a hurry, but handed over a big peach.
Bai Yousi was startled for a moment, then stood still.
"It's like this. I have a family heirloom. I should have seen it once during the inspection." Zhang Xing reluctantly changed Taozi's hands, then took out the compass from his arms and gave it a look. "If you want to find someone, it works wonders... In other words, as long as you want to do the inspection, I can now find Han Shixiong's location for the inspection. You can see the person in life and the body in death... By then, the inspection will take care of the family. At the same time, I will be promoted, my brothers will get rich, and everything will be fine."
Bai Yousi was stunned for a while before he came back to his senses, but he was doubtful and asked seriously: "What's the price?"
"Yes." Zhang Xing held the compass and answered sincerely. "Every time I use it, I have to go through a test of life and death, so that I am never willing to use it unless I have no choice... and everyone else who has used it has all died so far."
Bai Yousi thought for a moment and suddenly laughed: "I kind of believe you, but if that's true, wouldn't I dare not use it? Why did you use it?"
"It's not for inspection." Zhang Xing also laughed. "Let me give it a try...and without a compass, it would be too difficult to do this with all the clues. Besides, if we find out that someone is in Tongguan Military Camp or something, wouldn't it be a life-and-death struggle?"
"Don't despise your life for a mere white ribbon, and don't abuse such things." Bai Yousi responded seriously. "If you ask me, let's investigate carefully and thoroughly to find out who is who. It's really impossible to find out who it is. It's a last resort. It doesn't hurt to try again, but it's just a waste of time for me... How can I do it without permission? Use the lives of your subordinates to exchange for the stability of your own family?"
Zhang Xing frowned slightly and wanted to salute, but there was a peach in his hand, so he simply took a bite and threw it to the ground, then saluted: "Goodbye, inspection officer."
"Li Ding is still in the inn, but he hasn't shown up yet..." Bai Yousi glanced at the other party and simply gave the order. "Since you have eaten so many peaches, go and eat him."
Zhang Xing is incompetent.
PS: Thanks to the new leader zjsf, this is the fiftieth cuteness in this book, and special thanks to Shu Ruyu, the 12th classmate, for being the second and third cuteness... I can’t thank you enough.
Starting from the day before the New Year's Day holiday, I suddenly felt pain in the back of my head. After two days of struggling, the update was weak. I apologize to everyone and hope to regain the status as soon as possible before it is put on the shelves.
Finally, I wish you all a happy new year.
