Fortunately, the commander-in-chief was considerate and agreed that Huzi would be considered as dead in battle and would receive a pension. Their family would also be exempted from taxes for three years. With this money, Huzi's orphans and widowers would be able to take care of themselves. The days after coming down will be easier! "After saying that, Ma San shook his head regretfully.
"Yes, your lord, you really have nothing to say to us brothers!" Chen Changlin said in agreement:
After he finished speaking, the third person in the mourning hall, the stocky Feng Biao, said to his dead comrade: "Huzi, the commander has been so kind to you, you must take care of his illness when you get there." , get well soon!"
"It's rare that Feng Biao has this kind of heart!"
After Feng Biao finished speaking, a voice came over, and then a sturdy figure walked in from outside the mourning hall,
"Boss!"
When they saw the visitor, Chen Changlin, Ma San and Feng Biao hurriedly said hello.
Ye Tie, who came up with a lunch box, nodded to the three of them, and then looked at Feng Biao with admiration. Faced with his boss's approval, the honest Feng Biao scratched his head and smiled, not knowing what to say. .
After paying homage to Wang Hu's body, Ye Tie handed the lunch box in his hand to the three people in front of him, and said with a smile: "You must be hungry. This is some food I asked Liu Mansion's kitchen to cook for you. Yes, you should eat it quickly while it’s hot.”
When they heard that there was food, the three people, who had been hungry for a long time, immediately opened their lunch boxes and started to wolf down. After eating for a long time, they saw Ye Tie standing aside without moving his chopsticks. Ma San immediately looked at Ye Tie and thought Give way.
But before he could speak, Ye Tie had already seen what he was thinking, waved his hand and said, "I've already eaten in Liu's mansion."
Ma San nodded when he heard the words and continued to work hard. The food Ye Tie brought them was good, with large chunks of sauced meat, which was quite rich for soldiers like them.
After eating for a long time, Chen Changlin finally finished his meal. He sat on the bench and stroked his belly and said with some sadness: "I have been in the palace for half a year, and I don't know when I will be able to go home..." ··”
Hearing Chen Changlin's words, a strange color flashed across Ye Tie's expression, and he immediately said calmly: "The war in Gongdu is over. It won't be long before we can go back."
Ye Tie's words were undoubtedly a big surprise to the three people present. There was a smile on all three people's faces. The honest Feng Biao immediately interrupted:
"That would be great. My mother sent me a letter last time, saying that she was looking for a wife for me and that she would be waiting for me to come back..."
As he was talking, Feng Biao suddenly felt an extremely strong sleepiness coming over him, which made him unable to open his eyelids. The next second, he was lying on the table and fainted.
The last scene he saw before passing out was Chen Changlin and Ma San, lying on the table like him, without any movement.
Looking at the three men who were drugged by him, Ye Tie sighed helplessly, and then took action himself and took down the weapons carried by the three men.
After doing this, Ye Tie walked out of the county government office and waved his hand. Suddenly, two other soldiers of Ye Mingsheng, Ye Ju and Ye Changling, came out leading a carriage under the dark night.
"Go back and tell the young master that the matter was successful!" Ye Tie looked at him seriously, and Ye Ju said:
Ye Ju, who understood the rules, didn't ask any more questions and clasped his fists, and immediately ran towards Liu's house under the cover of night. After explaining Ye Ju's instructions, Ye Tie and Ye Changling who stayed behind took the three stunned people in the mourning hall. The individual loaded into the carriage and drove out of the city.
In Liu Mansion's study room, under the light of candles, Ye Mingsheng sat on the Taishi chair, closing his eyes and meditating like an old monk in trance. At this time, he was not only waiting for the good news of Ye Tie, but also felt deep in his heart. Thinking.
Knowing that the original owner had embezzled money and committed crimes by killing bandits, apart from the original owner himself, there were only nine of his soldiers. In other words, one of these nine people was a spy from the Supervision Department!
Among the nine people, Ye Mingsheng first eliminated the suspicion of Ye Tie, the captain of the soldiers. The reason was very simple. He could not think of any reason for Ye Tie to betray him.
Ye Tie is not only his relative, but also because he is a concubine and has no way to inherit the family business. Therefore, before becoming the captain of his own soldiers, he has been wandering outside and living in the green forest for a period of time. The "hero" is himself With the help of many connections, he helped him clear his identity and allowed him to enlist in the army and join the Forbidden Army, where he could earn wages as a soldier and start a family.
Ye Tie is also a person who repays kindness and has always been loyal to the original owner. He was responsible for some of the original owner's shady things. If he wanted to harm the original owner, he could have done it long ago. There is no need at all. Wait until now...
Apart from Ye Tie, the only other people who knew these two things were Ye Dong, Ye Kui, Ye Changling, Ye Ju, Ma San, Chen Changlin, Wang Hu and Feng Biao.
The first four people, like Ye Tie, are relatives of the Ye family who are related to Ye Mingsheng. In this world with strong clan concepts, it is not impossible for them to betray Ye Mingsheng to the Supervision Department, but there is no doubt that it is more difficult than others. Much smaller.
After all, if Ye Mingsheng is betrayed, they and their relatives will definitely be implicated, so even for their own sake, they should not betray Ye Mingsheng.
Therefore, Ye Mingsheng boldly assumed that after eliminating the suspicion of these four relatives, the remaining four people were Ma San, Wang Hu, Chen Changlin, and Feng Biao!
Although it is a hypothesis, it does not mean that Ye Mingsheng has no evidence. By recalling the memories in the original owner's mind, he discovered the most crucial point!
On the day when the original owner committed suicide out of fear of crime, he was secretly interviewed and intimidated by the Inspector named Jia Liang. Although Jia Liang told many details about his predecessor's crimes.
But most of these situations are about the original owner killing Japanese pirates in Xiaoli Town and using the Japanese pirate's head to pretend to be a Luobi man to take credit for killing the pirates.
As for the original owner's embezzlement of money during the Battle of Wanfeng Mansion, although Jia Liang also mentioned it, he only mentioned it briefly without going into details.
Naturally, the original owner did not notice this detail, but after Ye Mingsheng reviewed his memory and discovered this matter, it immediately attracted his great attention.
In order to keep secret the two things of killing bandits and taking credit for their own money, the original owner did not have all his soldiers participate together. Instead, he divided them into two groups. Ye Tie and other Ye family soldiers were responsible for embezzling money, while Ma San and other soldiers with other surnames were responsible for embezzling money. Responsible for killing bandits and taking credit. ,
Therefore, based on all the information currently in hand, Ye Mingsheng can basically conclude that the inner ghost appears in Ma San, Feng Biao, and Chen Changlin.
