The guard showed a clear smile, held the reins and walked into the golden door: "That's what it should be, it should be."
After walking into the Golden Light Gate, Leng Linjiang pulled off another bag, threw it to the guard, and said with a casual smile: "Take it, I'll treat the brothers to tea."
"Thank you so much, Mr. Shaoyin!" The guard was overjoyed. He weighed the bag and almost smiled. Otherwise, the guard like them liked Leng Shaoyin the most. He was so generous in his actions. Not like that envoy of the Internal Security Department, who has a face like the King of Hell, can't even smile, and is stingy as hell. He deserves to have no wife.
After entering the city, Leng Linjiang looked at the bustling crowds on the long street with a solemn expression and said calmly: "I will go to Jingzhao Mansion first. Guo Liang, you go to the Internal Security Department and ask Sun Ying to come to Jingzhao Mansion Yamen Office. , Song Lixin, go to Xiupingfang and Yongchongfang and bring Fang Zheng over."
They both claimed that they were, and rode their horses in two directions.
Leng Linjiang looked at the secret guard who was following him closely, never leaving, and smiled: "Let's go, I'll treat you to tea."
The secret guard smiled and said, "Then I would like to thank Lord Shaoyin for the reward."
He Denglou never expected that Leng Linjiang would rush back in person after receiving the news. He watched Leng Linjiang walk into the signing room, rubbed his eyes, and looked at it a few more times before he came back to his senses and pounced suddenly. He went over and hugged Leng Linjiang and howled: "Master Shaoyin, if you are not around these days, you will die in your humble position!"
Leng Linjiang pushed He Denglou away in disgust, tilted his head and frowned at each other: "Have I only been gone for two days?"
He Denglou pretended to cry: "One day is like three autumns, sir. It has been six autumns since two days. I miss you so much!"
Leng Linjiang was so disgusted that he shouted loudly: "Stop, stop, stop! If you have something to say, stop being so disgusting!"
He Denglou chuckled, and quickly invited Leng Linjiang to sit down at the head. He regained his serious expression and said, "Master Shaoyin, this time, things are serious."
He poured a cup of tea and handed it to Leng Linjiang, and explained the matters about Xiupingfang and Yongchongfang in detail.
Leng Linjiang held the cup of tea in both hands without even raising his eyes: "Guo Liang and Song Lixin have already told me these things. Can you tell me something I don't know?"
"Master Shaoyin, please hold the tea steady." He Denglu said in a deep voice with an unprecedented serious expression: "All the bodies in the Yi Zhuang have been lost!"
With a "Plop" sound, Leng Linjiang held the cup steady, but he spit out a mouthful of tea, all over He Denglu's body. His eyes widened and he screamed: "What? Lost it all! Pei Yin Married! This is too lawless!"
He Denglu wiped the tea on his body with a handkerchief and murmured in a low voice: "Please hold it steady, these are newly made clothes yesterday."
"What did you say!" Leng Linjiang shouted sharply.
Leng Linjiang always had a smile on his face and never got angry easily, but once he got angry, he could destroy mountains and stir up seas. As soon as he shouted, He Denglou was frightened and he knelt down with a "pop".
"Master Shaoyin, no, I'm humble, I'm confused." He Denglou almost cried.
"Get up, I didn't do anything to you. You kneel down all the time. What a look!" Leng Linjiang grabbed He Denglu and sneered angrily: "Look at how useless you are! The sky is still open It didn’t collapse!”
He Denglu finally calmed down and asked cautiously: "Sir, what should we do now?"
Leng Linjiang narrowed his eyes, no longer as gentle as before, and said coldly and solemnly: "Go, look after the two people guarding the Yizhuang, yes, Wang Bixin and Wang Zhongcheng, the uncle and nephew!"
He Denggou quickly arranged for the government officials to go to Yizhuang to pick up people.
Leng Linjiang pursed his lips, and thought of the reason why those people wanted to destroy Ramie Xiang and Ning Jimanmen, and felt a chill in his heart.
Crazy, crazy!
He thought thoughtfully and asked, "Have you heard from those who went out to chase the caravan?"
He Denglu shook his head: "Not yet." He looked at Leng Linjiang's clothes. They were bumpy in the wind and dust. The clothes were covered with dust and dirt, his bun was loose, and his face didn't look good. He hurriedly said: " Mr. Shaoyin, please take a shower first and take some evening food, I just ordered someone to prepare it."
Only then did Leng Linjiang realize that he was hungry and nodded: "The little brother who came back with me was sent by Han Secretary to protect me. You must settle down well and don't neglect it."
He Dengglou's eyes lit up when he heard this. He was sent by the Commander-in-Chief to protect his young master. He must be very skilled at it. He said, "This is a humble position. I will definitely put that little brother in good care. However," he said. Past: "Sir, in your humble position, can you learn from that little brother?"
Leng Linjiang glanced at He Denglou teasingly, and said with a half-smile, "Do you want to lose arms or legs?"
He Denglou was frightened and flinched: "Sir, don't scare me. I am a coward."
Leng Linjiang snorted: "You're a coward, don't pretend to be with me here. Okay, you can go if you want. Just don't cry to me if it hurts."
After hearing Leng Linjiang's words, He Denggou responded with a crisp yes, and ordered someone to bring in the meal with a smile on his face.
The food in the official kitchen of the Jingzhao Mansion has always been crude. Everyone was busy with errands and would only reluctantly eat a few bites in the official kitchen after dinner time.
Leng Linjiang knew how unpalatable the food served by the government kitchen was. Although it was not outrageous, it was still a bit hard to swallow.
He scooped a spoonful of porridge with clear soup and enough water to make people's figures shine through. He sighed and threw the spoon back into the bowl.
Of course, He Denggou knew how much Leng Linjiang disliked the food in the public kitchen, but he had no choice. His salary was extremely low, and he had no money to buy good food and good food outside. He had no choice but to wrong Mr. Shaoyin. He Smiling, he pushed over a plate of greasy and rotten meat and said, "Sir, it won't taste good after it gets cold."
Leng Linjiang's brows were furrowed so tightly that he could pinch a fly to death, and he curled his lips in disgust: "It doesn't taste good even when it's hot."
"This is meat, much better than vegetarian." He Denglu pushed the plate in front of Leng Linjiang again.
Leng Linjiang reluctantly picked up a piece of bamboo chopsticks and took a sip, then spat it out: "Bah, bah, bah, did the cook in the public kitchen find a salt seller as his concubine? Four of them!"
He Denglu smiled bitterly. If you don't make salty snacks, how can you make people eat more and eat less vegetables? How can the leftovers be hot again? He didn't look at the public kitchen, from the cook to the busboys, everyone is full of food. The fat intestines are all made from money dug out from the leftovers, and the whole body is full of fat!
Leng Linjiang glanced at He Denglu: "Aden, you don't need Mu Shi either, right?"
"..." He Denglu was stunned for a moment: "Ah, no, I just ate two sesame cakes and I'm not hungry anymore."
Leng Linjiang said "Oh", raised the end of the sound, and said jokingly: "I thought you wouldn't use the evening food. I can't eat these, so I might as well ask you to go to Old Wu Yu Mansion to buy something good and come back to eat together." Since you are full, then I," he stood up, patted the hem of his clothes, and glanced at He Denglu slowly: "Then I can eat by myself."
"Hey, no, it's a humble position, ugh." He Denglu suddenly felt that he was a villain and shot himself in the foot. The fish he got could swim away. He caught up with Leng Linjiang and said with a smile: " Mr. Shaoyin, I am humbled by my position. I suddenly feel a little hungry again. I can eat some more."
"really?"
"It's more true than Boss Yao's deceitful words!"
"Puch", Leng Linjiang burst into laughter. This analogy was quite appropriate.
He took out a banknote from his pocket and threw it to He Denglu: "Go and get a bigger fish, and you can take care of the rest."
"Okay!" He Denglu happily responded and ran out happily.
Not long after He Denggou left, Leng Linjiang brought back all the people Leng Linjiang asked the government officials to pass on, and they stood in a row in the signing room, all of them trembling with fear.
Especially the uncles and nephews of the Wang family were the most frightened.
Sun Ying, on the other hand, walked in leisurely with her hands behind her back, swept the food table, and said twice: "Oh, the cooks in Jingzhao Mansion are very good at cooking the food that farmers have worked so hard to grow. It tastes bad and looks ugly, where did you learn this skill?"
"..." Leng Linjiang was speechless. After Sun Ying said this, the cook in the public kitchen was indeed worthy of being beaten with a stick.
He was speechless for a while, then pointed to the bed next to him: "Sun Wuzuo, let's sit down and listen together."
Sun Ying nodded and sat down slowly.
What he was about to say was too secretive for outsiders to hear, so there was no harm in him sitting down and listening to what these government officials had to say.
Leng Linjiang's eyes slowly fell on the people in front of him, and his indifferent thoughts swept across them.
After being stared at for a moment by such a threatening gaze, the other government servants who came back to reply were still able to hold their own, but the Wang family's uncle and nephew couldn't bear it anymore. Their knees weakened and they fell to the ground with a "pop".
"The villain is guilty, guilty." Before Leng Linjiang could speak, the Wang family's uncle and nephew kowtowed and confessed.
"Oh, what are you guilty of?" Leng Linjiang tapped his knees with his fingers and glanced at the two of them casually.
The uncle and nephew of the Wang family did not dare to raise their heads, they were shaking all over and hesitantly said: "Young man, I have lost my sight of the body, I am a little man, I am pleading guilty."
Leng Linjiang's voice was as cold as ice. He was not surprised or angry, but it was frightening: "Since you are guilty of this crime, I will tell you what happened last night in detail. I may give you some mercy."
Wang Bixin and Wang Zhongcheng looked at each other and saw the confusion and fear in each other's eyes.
What to say, they don’t know anything, what can they say!
Leng Linjiang did not miss the confusion in their eyes, and his heart sank slightly.
He knew that the uncle and nephew were always timid and timid. At this time, they could still keep their mouths shut. He could only say that their confusion was not an act, they really didn't know anything.
Leng Linjiang gave up the idea of continuing to question these two people, and gave an order to have these two people brought to the small room to look at them first. Regardless of whether they had any evil intentions in their minds, they should be allowed to dry out first.
After the Wang family's uncle and nephew went out, Leng Linjiang's face finally looked better after a long while. He first asked the directors of Xiupingfang and Yongchongfang about the situation at Ramie Lane and Ningji Coffin Shop that night.
The situation at Ning Ji's coffin shop was relatively simple. Fang Zheng of Yongchongfang almost didn't think much about it and told the story of that night in detail.
Leng Linjiang listened carefully and found that what Fang Zheng said was no different from what He Dengglou said, so he waved his hand and asked him to leave first, but he couldn't leave for the time being. He also found a small room for him to stay in. Spend the night in the government office.
It was not the first time that Qiao Yanda saw Leng Linjiang, nor was it the first time that he answered in front of him, but the feeling this time was completely different from the last time. Leng Linjiang in the Jingzhao Government Office seemed to be a different person. He is a Shaoyin-sama who can scare people to the point of pissing their pants.
While others were replying, Qiao Yanda took several deep breaths before calming down. However, when he heard Leng Linjiang call his name and reply, he took a step forward and trembled uncontrollably. leg.
"I have met Mr. Shaoyin." Qiao Yanda bowed politely and explained the situation in Ramie Alley in detail, including the situation during the day.
Although he spoke in detail, Leng Linjiang didn't hear any very useful clues.
Leng Linjiang frowned tightly, and doubts suddenly arose in his heart.
If this group of people only wanted to kill people and silence them, there was really no need to steal the bodies again.
But if this group of people was actually going after these corpses, then why not just take the corpses away from Ramie Alley, but wait until the corpses were sent to Yizhuang before stealing them.
His heart skipped a beat. Could it be that the people who killed and silenced the people and those who stole the bodies were not the same people?
He looked solemn and asked about the remaining yamen servants.
After the incident in Yizhuang, He Denggou immediately sent three teams of government officials to go out to investigate. At this time, only two teams came back. The government officials who went to Luoyang to pursue the investigation have not yet turned back.
The government officials who headed towards Yuhua Mountain found nothing.
However, the team of government officials who were pursuing the investigation in the capital discovered something. Without waiting for Leng Linjiang to ask, the leader Mao Yongshao stepped forward and lowered his voice: "Master Shaoyin, I asked you about the patrol last night. The cavalrymen learned that Yin Shi was about to arrive, and the convoy of Minji Trading Company carried the Taichang Temple sign and documents to carry the medicinal materials back to the shop."
Hearing this, Leng Linjiang was stunned for a moment, and his heart shuddered.
Sun Ying, who had been sleeping with half-closed eyes, suddenly opened her eyes, revealing her eyes.
Minji Trading Company is the property of Concubine Yang's natal family, Duke Yang. Concubine Yang is Concubine Yang's cousin. Both of their fathers are the legitimate sons of Duke Yang.
The Yang family had a noble concubine in the previous dynasty, who was granted the title of Duke for her support, and two more imperial concubines were born in the current dynasty. Although the eldest Concubine Yang died without leaving any heirs, the younger Concubine Yang was born. A son and a daughter.
Such a family, no matter how low-key they act, is still a force that cannot be underestimated in Chang'an City.
Leng Linjiang frowned and said nothing, his face gradually turned cold. .
Mao Yongshao didn't say anything either. He was rough-looking but as careful as hair, knowing that he had found someone who couldn't be found.
After a moment of silence, Leng Linjiang waved his hand: "I understand. You have worked hard all the way. Go down and rest first."
Several government officials agreed in unison and hurriedly retreated.
Leng Linjiang turned to look at Sun Ying: "What do you think of Sun Wuzuo?"
Sun Ying pretended to be stupid seriously: "Another death? But I am exhausted from my humble job."
"..." Leng Linjiang gritted his teeth. The subordinates brought out by Han Changmu all had the same virtue as him, and they were always good at pretending to be stupid and fooling others!
Not long after, He Dengglou came back carrying two three-layered octagonal food boxes like the wind.
The dining table had been cleaned up. He Denggou placed the food on the dining table. The aroma suddenly spread, making people salivate.
Leng Linjiang invited Sun Ying and He Denglou to sit down and eat together.
Sun Ying was not polite, lifted up her clothes and sat down, picked up the bamboo chopsticks and started picking up the vegetables.
He Denglu was particularly discerning. He first served Leng Linjiang a bowl of chicken soup with lotus leaves and mushrooms. He smiled attentively and said, "Sir, it's hot. Let's drink the soup first."
Leng Linjiang was always gentle and had no rules in front of these people in the Jingzhao Mansion Office. He took the soup bowl and joked: "Sit down, watch your saliva. If it falls into the food, you won't be able to eat it." "
He Denglu laughed and started to eat without any ceremony.
