He was written in a suicide note, and the fear revealed between the lines was from the heart. Even before the suicide note was completed, he died suddenly on the spot. No matter how you look at it, this is strange.
However, both Wu Zuo’s conclusion and the cross-examination of the Wu family and Wu Yuan’s doctors pointed out that Wu Yuan’s death was caused by a sudden illness and had nothing to do with the person named Zhang Yan. . If this were not the case, just based on the name left on the suicide note, Zhang Yan would have been taken back to the Yamen for careful interrogation, instead of simply confirming his whereabouts as is the case now.
"grown ups."
"Come in."
The adjutant pushed open the door and came in with a thick piece of paper. After saluting, he placed the paper on the table in front of Yang Jie.
It's actually quite interesting. Just a few hours ago, the owner of this study room was Wu Yuan, and Wu Yuan's body was even lying under the seat where Yang Jie was sitting.
"Is the eucalyptus house under control?"
"Yes, sir. Our people first secured the entrance and exit of the eucalyptus room. During this period, someone tried to block it and was cut down twice. Now we called a group of soldiers from the garrison to help keep an eye on it, and we have already begun to inspect the interior of the eucalyptus room. I've sorted it out. So far, there are quite a lot of things hidden in it.
In addition, this document about the "Zhang Yan" mentioned in Wu Yuan's suicide note has been completed. The subordinate looked through it briefly and found that it was very solid and seemed to have no problems. But when I think about it carefully, it doesn’t make sense. "
"What doesn't make sense?"
"The motive of Zhang Yan's murder makes no sense. He didn't run or hide after the murder, but ended up hungover in a place that was unfamiliar to him. It's even more unbelievable."
After hearing this, Yang Jie also opened the copy of the document, and while flipping through it quickly, he asked: "So you think there is something wrong with this document?"
"Yeah. At least it's not clear enough, and it can't stand up to scrutiny. If one of my subordinates decides to take a life like this, I will definitely spread his ass and tell him to get out."
Yang Jie laughed. As an adjutant, he was a detective, and half of his abilities were in investigating various crimes. Later, he was promoted with Yang Jie, and it was impossible to continue running the business, but his habits and eyesight did not change, and he could see something fishy in Zhang Yan's career at a glance.
Yang Jie took a quick look at it. Then he said: "Take someone to check where the witnesses and testimonies mentioned above come from. Maybe they can be used later."
"It's your lord. But we don't have enough people this time. The people in Langyuan City's Yamen think it's prudent not to use any of them for the time being." The adjutant's words were decisive. Although he has only been in Langyuan City for half a day, he is already familiar with the things in Langyuan City. I know how deep the water here is and how bad the officials are.
This is not to say that everyone here in Langyuan City is a thug who takes bribes and violates the law. There are also people who seek to survive in the cracks. But this kind of people doesn't mean they can be trusted. They also have the possibility of "compromising" when being "forced", otherwise why would they have stayed in the mud pit until now?
"What do you mean? Transfer people from the county governor's office? Or transfer people from another place?"
"Sir, what I mean is to transfer our own people directly from the county governor's mansion. Wu Yuan has been operating in Langyuan City for many years. It's hard to say how big the network weaved around it is. It's better to be cautious. As for our people You can ask Mr. Zhou’s soldiers to help take care of you before you come here.”
Yang Jie thought for a moment after hearing this, then agreed with his adjutant's opinion, nodded and said: "Do as you say, report it to Mr. Xiao immediately, simply report the first-hand situation, and at the same time request for reinforcements.
As for Mr. Zhou, he also sent a note with a more sincere attitude, asking them to help maintain the internal and external security of the Langyuan City Yamen and the safety of the officials. It would be best to protect them all. do you understand me? "
The adjutant nodded in agreement, and then hurriedly went to implement it.
Soon an urgent report left Langyuan City and rushed towards Xiangkou where the county governor's mansion was. At the same time, the adjutant personally went to the garrison camp outside the city and asked Zhou Cang for help.
Zhou Cang didn't show any airs, he had to give him the respect of Zuo Langguan, the magistrate of the county. So with a wave of his hand, half of the battalion left the camp, took Yang Jie's permission request and his own seal document to the Yamen of the General Manager of Zuojun Daoxing, and drove into Langyuan City at the same time.
There were half a battalion of five hundred soldiers, including fifty cavalry. The battle when entering the city is definitely very intimidating. Especially for people living in a sensitive geographical location like Langyuan City, the first reaction is: Beiwu Kingdom is coming? Or is Huayue on the other side of the river fighting to the edge of the city?
But then I thought something was wrong. If we really got there, wouldn't the city gate be closed long ago? Can you still leave it open and let anyone in and out?
So something big happened in the city? Could it be related to the sudden death of the city administrator?
There are many good people, and they are all the so-called upper-class people in Langyuan City. After all, for them, the heads and heads of Langyuan City are related to their "livelihood". For ordinary people, it is just gossip, and no one will take it seriously.
But soon, the upper class in Langyuan City were so frightened by the next scene that cold sweat broke out on their foreheads.
One by one, all officials with titles in the local yamen of Langyuan City were assigned soldiers to guard the door and back door of their homes, and several soldiers followed them in a dignified manner when traveling. The two Langyuan City's left and right officials and even a full group of soldiers accompanied them, and the number of people guarding the house was also counted!
Wei Shu's move frightened not only the upper class, but also the officials. Wouldn't the first reaction be that the garrison Zhou Cang rebelled? But then I thought it didn't look like it.
When asked, the soldier replied: "I received the order from the peak. There have been bandits secretly committing murders in Langyuan City recently. I am accompanying you to protect all officials."
Just this sentence, if you ask anything else, they won't answer you. If you dare to run around or deliberately get away from them, you will be grabbed by your clothes and dragged back. No matter how you look at it, this has nothing to do with the word "protection".
By this time, even the most obtuse person would understand that the biggest thing happening in Langyuan City right now is not that a city official has died, but that the entire local officialdom of Langyuan City is in big trouble!
That night, late at night. In the study of the Wu Mansion, Yang Jie saw the account books, property lists, and various retained correspondence that were collected after digging three feet into the house.
It was the same adjutant, still in high spirits at this time, but his eyes were a lot more bloodshot. He bowed to Yang Jie in his seat with a slightly excited tone and said: "Sir, with these belongings, we can drag Wu Yuan out." It would be fine to skin him alive. It's just a pity that he died first. However, the letters and accounts received from the Wu Mansion can also be used. At least the contents of many secret letters received before can be matched. In that case, those pieces of information will be I can continue to dig deeper.”
"Very good! Mr. Xiao said it before this happened. As long as he is from Beijiang County, no matter who he is, he will be captured if he is found. If there is any pressure, I will shoulder the responsibility. So, it is time to dig carefully. Those bugs!”
