"In the city?"
"How is this possible?"
"That's right! Wasn't he captured by the Yan family?"
Hearing Bai Yan's words, all the Qin officials in Xiaoyuan looked at each other in confusion. They didn't understand how the county lieutenant could say that Yang Jin was still in the city. You must know that everything has been determined now, and it was Yan who killed him. It was also the Yan family who took out Shanwu after robbing people. Whether they were the servants of the Yan family's mansion or the bribed Qin officials, this could be confirmed.
Under such a certain situation, why would Bai Yan say that Yang Jin, who was kidnapped by the Yan family, was still in the city.
In the small garden.
After hearing Bai Yan's words, Yang Duanhe, Gan Si, and Mi Jing also looked at each other in astonishment.
However, Bai Yan didn't explain much. After seeing the corpses and the crime scene, he turned to salute Mr. Yang and Mi Jing.
"Bai Yan asserts that Yang Jin must be in the city. In addition to notifying various passes, the top priority is to ask Gan Cheng to dispatch all Qin officials to search for clues in the city!"
Bai Yan said to the two of them.
Such a big thing suddenly happened, and Bai Yan couldn't make the decision on many orders at the moment. He had to get the consent of Mr. Yang. As for Mi Jing, who was the censor, he had the right to supervise the whole process and even raise objections.
Murder cases are classified as homicide cases and are under the jurisdiction of the city and county commanders. However, such a major event has affected Yanmen County, and the county governor and the censor cannot be immune to it.
"Are you suspecting that someone else in the city is involved in this matter?"
When Yang Duanhe heard Bai Yan's words, he thought for a moment and looked at Bai Yan.
Mi Jing also looked at Bai Yan in confusion.
"Bai Yan has an impression of the Yan family. Even if the Yan family is so courageous, they are not enough to accomplish this."
Bai Yan explained to Yang Duanhe, and after finishing speaking, he looked around.
"Secondly, all the officers and soldiers outside Xiaoyuan were killed, and no one survived. The Yan family is not that powerful yet. Old Yang ordered people to check whether the officials in the city have left Shan Wu, and then they will know. If no officials have left, Yang Jin will In the city!”
As Bai Yan spoke, he looked at Gan Si.
When Gan Si heard Bai Yan's words, he immediately understood what Bai Yan meant and was about to turn around to carefully check all the Qin officials in the small garden.
"Perhaps some of those soldiers accidentally leaked the news, and the Yan family has the promise of the Yue family, so it is not bad to be timid! The words of the county captain may be one-sided. As far as Mi Jing is concerned, the top priority is Send Qin officials to inform other counties and cities!"
Mi Jing thought for a while, frowned, and retorted to Bai Yan, not really agreeing with Bai Yan's idea.
As if worried about offending Bai Yan, Mi Jing also softened his tone and raised his hand to explain to Bai Yan.
"We are also worried that there are not enough manpower in the city now, and if the Yan family escapes and loses trace, if we don't order people to inform other counties and cities, we are worried that the Yan family will completely disappear!"
After Mi Jing finished speaking, he sighed and looked at Bai Yan.
In Mi Jing's eyes, he had given enough face to Bai Yan. If he hadn't kept his father's words in mind, as a censor, he would have no need to explain what happened before him. He had to know that this matter had spread to Xianyang and he would be held accountable. The only ones left were Yang Duanhe and Bai Yan. As the censor, he didn't need to explain so much. If Bai Yan didn't listen, he could write to Xianyang to remonstrate Bai Yan's mistakes.
In the small garden.
Seeing the conversation between Mi Jing and Bai Yan, all the Qin officials, officials, and even the city magistrate Gan Si were too angry to take a breath. After all, in the eyes of everyone, whether it was the censor Shi Mi Jing or the county captain Bai Yan, they were all the same. The largest official in Yanmen County.
When they have differences of opinion, whoever dares to speak rashly will be unhappy in the future if either of them is displeased.
Mr. Yang also looked at the two of them and was about to speak when he saw Bai Yan shaking his head.
"If it is true that the Yue family is the person behind the Yan family, no matter how courageous the Yan family is, they would not dare to spare Yang Jin's life!"
Bai Yan looked at Mi Jing, raised his hand to return the salute, and said softly.
As Bai Yan's words fell, in an instant, some people in the small garden who understood quickly widened their eyes, and then Qin Li, who was thinking more and more, nodded in sudden realization.
The same was true for Yang Duanhe and Gan Si. After hearing Bai Yan's words, they suddenly woke up.
yes!
If the Yuezhi participated in this assassination, how could the Yan family dare to kidnap Yang Jin and leave Yang Jin's life behind? You must know that Yang Jin's death is the most important thing for the Yuezhi King.
In the same way, even if the Yan family is a fool, they would not dare to take Yang Jin out of the city when the Yuezhi is here.
In other words, the person behind this incident may have something to do with the Yuezhi, but the involvement in the murder in the city has absolutely nothing to do with the Yuezhi. And there is only one possibility that the Yan family has the courage to kill people and take Yang Jin away.
The real person behind the scenes is still in the city! ! !
No wonder Bai Yan just said that if no officials left Shan Wu, then Yang Jin must still be in the city.
"Gan Si, go investigate quickly and ask people to guard the city gate. All nobles and officials in the city are not allowed to leave the city!"
Yang Duanhe turned to Gan Si and ordered.
In fact, for many mysteries, once you find the key point, you will immediately see through all the previous doubts. Just like looking at these corpses, no one would have thought at first that apart from the Yan family, there was actually a real murderer in the city, and it might even be possible. It's the person behind the scenes.
Based on the murder scene and these corpses, everyone thought that Yan must have left Shan Wu after he robbed Yang Jin.
However, Bai Yan's few words made everyone feel suddenly enlightened.
"promise!"
Gan Si raised his hand to take the order. Before leaving, he looked at Bai Yan in shock, and then went to give the order.
There were many people with the same look as Gan Si. After listening to Bai Yan's words, those Qin officials who were talking a lot just now all became quiet, extremely quiet.
If just now they were bragging about how they guessed and judged, and were still complacent, now after listening to Bai Yan's words, they knew what true power and analysis meant.
No wonder the first of many rumors about Bai Yan was that Bai Yan went to Xinzheng, and after returning, he told all the details and judgments he learned from Xinzheng to the general of the army, General Teng, and Teng The old general also relied on this incident to annihilate the Korean army in one fell swoop, capture Xinzheng, and destroy South Korea.
There was also the same rumor when I was in Gaonu, Shangjun.
They had not realized it before, until now, they saw this murder with their own eyes and participated in it personally. You must know that they have been here at the scene of the murder for so long, they have investigated so many things, and they finally came to the conclusion. As a result, Bai Yan just After a while, just taking a look at these corpses, relying on the fact that Yang Jin was alive, instantly overturned all their previous guesses.
Only then did they understand why Bai Yan was so powerful in the rumors.
"It's a shame that I lost my worries!"
Mi Jing only came back to his senses at this time, looked at Bai Yan blankly, swallowed his saliva, and then saluted Bai Yan with a dazed look on his face.
Bai Yan didn't show any proud expression when he saw Mi Jing's appearance, he just raised his hand gently to return the favor.
Half an hour later.
In Shanwu City, as the snow fell, children played on the streets, and a few people walked on the streets. Two carriages, escorted by several Qin officials and men, drove slowly.
Bai Yan's carriage was used to transport the corpses of soldiers out of the city for burial. Bai Yan, who did not have a carriage, took Yang Duanhe's invitation and left the small garden just now in Yang Duanhe's carriage.
"If there are no accidents, Yang Jin should be in his mansion."
With the carriage shaking slightly and the wheels turning, Mr. Yang spoke softly.
If it was initially thought that the Yan family was united with the Yue family, then after it was confirmed that the Yue family was not involved, Mr. Yang already knew who was behind all this.
It's not hard to guess.
Rebellion came from Yingchuan County, and then to Xianyang where he ordered Changping Jun to lead the Qin army to quell the rebellion.
Lord Changping still remains in Yingchuan County.
Coupled with the observation just now, Mr. Yang saw that the hidden look inadvertently showed something slightly abnormal, and he was even more sure.
"If he kills Yang Jin, no one can do anything about it, but he is just greedy for beauty in this matter!"
Bai Yan nodded.
Looking at the entire plan, it is really embarrassing. This is one of the rare times when Bai Yan has no ability and relies on experience and experience to keenly detect something wrong.
Not to mention that the people who were killed in this incident were all Yuezhi people and spoke the Yuezhi language. The perpetrators were all Yans who had fled Shanwu. Under such circumstances, even Bai Yan's ability could not be improved. It is difficult to use them. The languages of foreigners are almost all highly similar to the ears of Central Plains people. It is difficult to remember two or three paragraphs, let alone distinguish them.
As the person in charge behind the scenes, Mi Jing was not greedy for beauty, but directly asked Yan to get rid of Yang Jin. Given Mi Jing's identity and background in this murder case, even if he was suspected, no one could do anything about him.
But by accident.
On the most critical and fatal issue, Mi Jing made a mistake.
Mi Jing didn't understand the meaning of the word "sex".
"Stay or arrest?"
Yang Duanhe looked at Bai Yan.
After knowing that the Bai family had been framed several times by Lord Changping and Lord Changwen, Yang Duanhe, who knew that Bai Yan knew everything, now left the issue of dealing with Mi Jing to Bai Yan.
Not to mention that this matter almost affected Bai Yan's plan, even Mr. Yang was almost affected by the conspiracy of Chang Pingjun and Mi Jing. No matter how good his heart and nature were in the past, Mr. Yang felt a little bit confused at this moment. Warm anger.
"Catch it! No more!"
Bai Yan said softly.
This incident reminded Bai Yan that not everything can go smoothly. Chang Pingjun's actions were so fast that Bai Yan didn't expect that he had just received the news about Gouze in the morning, and it hadn't happened yet. Soon, something happened here in Yangjin.
Apparently, he had received news from Xianyang before. When Lord Changping went to Yingchuan, he had secretly sent a letter to Yanmen in advance and told Mi Jing how to take action, otherwise it would not have been so fast.
As for whether Changping Lord secretly colluded with Yuezhi King Yaamucha, Bai Yan was not sure.
After all, no matter what the situation is, as long as the Yuezhi is strong, it will be beneficial to Lord Changping.
"good!"
Yang Duanhe nodded when he heard Bai Yan's words.
It would be fine if he kept to himself and everything would be fine, but now that his fangs are showing, it would be better to deal with them.
In front of Mi Jing's mansion.
Because Mr. Yang wanted to take Bai Yan back to his mansion, Mi Jing's carriage separated from Mr. Yang and Bai Yan, then left alone and soon returned to the gate of the mansion.
The carriage stopped and the curtain in front suddenly opened. Mi Jing stepped out of the carriage in silence. After taking a look around, he walked back to the mansion with a gloomy look.
At this moment, Mi Jing's forehead was covered with sweat, and his breathing was a little rapid and uneasy.
Fortunately, they had been hiding it well just now. Mr. Yang, Bai Yan, and Gan Si didn't know that Mi Jing's hands were actually trembling under the wide cuffs of his official uniform, nor did they know that since hearing Bai Yan's words, Under the heavy snow, Mi Jing's back was already covered with sweat.
"grown ups!"
"grown ups!!"
In the mansion, when the servants and maids saw Mi Jing, they all stopped and knelt on the ground to bow.
However, Mi Jing hurried past these servants without stopping at all.
In the yard.
The concubines that Mi Jing had accepted in the past did not dare to come forward and disturb her when they saw Mi Jing's appearance.
Mi Jing walked with three subordinates for a long time and came to the backyard. As a servant came, Mi Jing took a look around and breathed a sigh of relief.
"No one is allowed to come near!"
Mi Jing ordered.
When the three subordinates heard the words, they all responded politely and then looked around.
"grown ups!"
A forty-year-old servant came forward with a smile on his face after seeing Mi Jing.
This old servant was taken in by Chang Wenjun when he was young, and has been serving in Chang Wenjun's mansion ever since. It can be said that he has watched Mi Jing grow up. Now that he sees Mi Jing's forehead covered with sweat, he naturally knows that Mi Jing is. Caused by impatience.
When he came to Mi Jing's ear, he looked around and saw that there was no one around.
"Sir, I have secretly brought you to the mansion. You can enjoy it as much as you like!"
The servant said to Mi Jing.
After finishing speaking, he looked at Mi Jing with a smile. As someone who has watched Mi Jing grow up, it is no exaggeration to say that the old servant knows better than Chang Wenjun what kind of character Mi Jing is. When he arrived, the old servant noticed that Mi Jing almost lost control and even had the idea of forcibly raping Yang Jin on the spot.
Fortunately, he was there to remind Mi Jing not to touch Yang Jin easily, otherwise Bai Yan would not be able to explain it, and Mi Jing finally regained some sense.
It was also at that time that the old servant who had been serving Mi Jing saw Mi Jing's straight eyes for the first time, full of naked greed, and he could more clearly sense that Mi Jing had swallowed his saliva countless times throughout the process.
It was like this, and the old servant always kept it in mind.
Therefore, when he received the letter from Lord Changping, the old servant saw through Mi Jing's desire and reluctance, so he bluntly said that he could hide Yang Jin's life secretly, and it might not be of great use in the future.
"You shouldn't have brought him back! Maybe we should kill Yang Jin as my uncle said!"
However, what the servant didn't expect was that after hearing his words, Mi Jing was not excited as expected. Instead, he shook his head in panic and fear.
The servant frowned upon seeing this, a little confused.
"Bai Yan learned that Yan had left the city and concluded that Yang Jin was still in the city, and he bluntly said that the person behind the scenes was an official in the city!"
Mi Jing explained to the old servant.
Looking back at that time, Mi Jing felt a little regretful. At that time, his uncle asked them to kill Yang Jin, and he was worried that they would not be able to leave Yanmen with Yang Jin, so they would get angry. However, they underestimated Bai Yan and secretly stayed. By paying Yang Jin, you can not only possess Yang Jin arbitrarily, but it can also become a condition for your father and others to unite with the Yuezhi in the future.
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! The Yan family has already left Shanwu. If we can't catch the Yan family, how could Bai Yan know?"
When the old servant heard Mi Jing's words, he subconsciously denied it, not believing that Bai Yan could know all this. You must know that this was a sophisticated plan, and even Changping Lord had made arrangements. Bai Yan would never be able to find Yan in his life.
However, after denying it, the old servant looked at Mi Jing, but it was not fake at all. Gradually, he became a little confused.
soon.
After learning what happened in Qian Xiaoyuan, the old servant's expression suddenly changed, and a touch of panic and unprecedented fear appeared on his cheeks.
"I will take her out of the mansion immediately and kill her!"
The old servant looked at Mi Jing with a panicked tone and said.
Mi Jing nodded, but as Yang Jin's appearance emerged in his mind, he thought that Yang Jin was in the mansion.
"etc!"
Mi Jing stopped the old servant from leaving.
In the old servant's doubtful eyes, his face was full of hesitation. After struggling with his eyes, he still shook his head.
"Bai Yan will never doubt me for a while! It's too dangerous to leave now. You can take people out again at night!"
Mi Jing said.
Recalling Bai Yan's closeness to him before, coupled with their current relationship, and his current identity and status, Mi Jing was sure that Bai Yan would not doubt him for a while, let alone bring people with him without the slightest evidence. Come here to search. After all, Bai Yan, who was at fault in this matter, rashly brought people here to search. If no one is found, this matter will be brought to Xianyang. Even if Ying Zheng favors Bai Yan, Bai Yan will not What will happen?
It is impossible for Bai Yan not to know this, so no matter how courageous Bai Yan is, he will not dare to do anything reckless, and it is not worth it for a Yangjin.
It was a fault in the first place. As long as he is around, he will definitely put in a good word for Bai Yan in order to maintain the relationship. At that time, Bai Yan will be a fault at most. With the previous merits of Bai and Bai Yan, there will not be any serious punishment.
But if he comes here without permission and offends him to death, and if no one can be found, Bai Yan will have to face the entire Chu family and the arrogant reputation. Under such circumstances, Bai Yan will not be able to claim the title again in the future. soldiers.
Bai Yan doesn't dare to mess around!
What's more, it's only less than half a day.
After thinking about this clearly, Mi Jing breathed a sigh of relief, and the fear in his eyes slowly turned into a look of greed.
When she thought about being able to have Yang Jin under her and enjoy Yang Jin's various behaviors, Mi Jing was so excited that she almost lost her mind and kept swallowing her saliva.
"good!"
When the old servant saw Mi Jing's appearance, he naturally knew what Mi Jing was thinking. He thought that following Bai Yan's words, the whole city would be searched during the day, which was indeed very dangerous. It would be better to take people out of the mansion at night.
"Sir, here!"
After the old servant nodded, he led Mi Jing towards the room where Yang Jin was hidden.
Seeing this, Mi Jing nodded excitedly and quickly followed.
However, what the old servant and Mi Jing never expected was that just as they were walking towards the room where Yang Jin was hidden, men with swords and many Qin officials were already walking outside the yard.
As soon as the door of the mansion was opened, the servants in the mansion were controlled by Qin officials holding sharp swords.
The carriage that was supposed to take Bai Yan back slowly stopped in front of the mansion. Yang Duanhe, Bai Yangan Si and Cheng Ling, the city captain, all got out of the carriage.
"Seal the entire mansion!"
Mr. Yang looked at Mi Jing's mansion in front of him, gave an order, and then took the lead in leading people towards the mansion.
