() The fourth update!!! The fifth update is around 11:30!!!

Wenzhou Prefecture is a county directly under Zhejiang Province. Like Guangzhou City, Yangzhou City, and Hangzhou City, it has a developed economy, convenient transportation, and is a port city. Therefore, the living standards of the people are also higher than those of other local cities at the same level.

high.

It was only an hour's journey by carriage from the fishing village of Crescent Bay to Wenzhou City. When Zhang Cheng and others returned to Wenzhou City, it was almost evening.

When they arrived at Qi Mansion, they called Qi Tong without staying much, and the group went straight to Wenzhou Mansion Office.

At that time, Zhao Hun, the prefect of Wenzhou, was the brother of Zhao Ying, the governor of Zhejiang. In the officialdom, the two of them did not belong to the same faction as other officials, or in fact, they were not very popular in the court.

good.

However, this kind of person is the best for Zhang Cheng and others. After all, with Yan Song here, the court has been falling apart for some time. All officials must look at his appearance when doing things, and they must be repaired.

Phenomenon...

Now that we have Zhao Hun as a middleman, it is much easier to get things done.

"I am under the command of Zhao Hun, the magistrate of Wenzhou, and I have met General Qi!"

When he heard that Qi Jiguang was coming, Zhao Hun didn't even bother to eat, and immediately went out to greet him. His respectful attitude was self-evident.

In fact, regardless of his official rank or ability, Zhao Hun is not worth mentioning in front of Qi Jiguang. What's more, if it weren't for Qi Jiguang's presence, he would not be so comfortable as the prefect of Wenzhou. The incidents of Japanese pirates every day are enough to make him

Headache.

"Without courtesy, I won't say much more. This is the current Princess Ning'an. These adults won't introduce her one by one. Please take us to see the beggar quickly."

Qi Jiguang was too lazy to waste words. The most urgent task now was to see the beggar first. Those red tapes should be avoided if possible. I believe Ning'an meant the same.

Sure enough, Ning An nodded vigorously, while Zhang Cheng and others beside him did not speak.

Hearing what Qi Jiguang said, Zhao Hun seemed a little at a loss. He actually froze on the spot, motionless.

"Why don't you go quickly? What are you waiting for?"

Feng Bao urged him anxiously. At this time, Zhao Hun seemed to have reacted. When he heard Feng Bao's voice, he naturally knew Feng Bao's identity.

"Yes, yes! Please come with me."

After Wei Wei said a few words with some trepidation, Zhao Hun did not dare to show any slightest hesitation and walked directly into the Yamen and went straight to the Yamen prison.

"What on earth did that beggar commit that made him still need to be locked up in prison?"

Qi Jiguang said in a slightly accusing tone that Qi Jiguang has always had sympathy for beggars, and he often asked soldiers in the army not to make things difficult for beggars. He would even help when he saw someone who could help. Logically speaking, beggars generally would not commit such crimes.

What a big mistake, because their request is very simple, just a meal and clothing.

Now being imprisoned in the negative pressure boss, this has to make Qi Jiguang suspicious, something must have happened.

"Back to Princess, General Qi, what happened last night. Three corpses of unknown origin were found in the ruined temple in the west of the city. According to the beggars, it was Liu Er who spent the night in the ruined temple in the west of the city. So

, we arrested Liu Er. Although Liu Er refused to admit that he was the murderer, judging from the evidence at the scene, both the murder weapon and the wounds on the deceased were completely consistent, proving that Liu Er was the murderer.

.”

"Then do you know who those three people are?"

Zhang Cheng immediately asked, it seemed that Liu Er's murder seemed a bit strange.

Wasn't it last night when Zhengyao, Zhang Cheng and others arrived in Wenzhou? A murder case occurred that night. Is it possible that the two incidents are related?

You know, Liu Er kept saying that he was entrusted by others to contact Qi Jiguang.

"I don't know, until now, we have no idea about the identities of those three people, and there are no obvious signs on those three people, so there is really no way to find out."

Zhao Hun said with difficulty. Apparently, he really had a headache about this kind of thing. It seemed like this was the first time he encountered such a case.

As he talked and walked, he soon arrived at the magistrate's prison, and Liu Er was imprisoned in the heavy prison. The meaning was very clear that he was a repeat offender.

"Is he Liu Er?"

The cell was very dark and damp, and there was an unkempt man in the corner. His face could not be seen clearly. Zhang Cheng couldn't help but ask suspiciously.

Although the man was squatting, it was certain that he was not tall, and he should be slightly thin. At first glance, he looked like a malnourished man. He would be a murderer, and he would kill in one go.

Three people? Can you believe it?

This is why Zhang Cheng has doubts. Obviously, there must be something fishy here.

"Sir, yes, he is Liu Er, but he is a beggar, so he looks slovenly. Why, do you have any questions?"

Zhao Hun asked with some trepidation. Although he did not have a team in the court, he did not directly indicate who he supported or did not support, but at least he had some experience in the officialdom. For the capital,

He cannot afford to offend any official who comes, no matter how small, so it is necessary to be cautious.

"Ahem, you'd better wake up Liu Er first. I have something to ask him."

Zhang Cheng didn't say much, and it didn't make much sense to talk to Zhao Hun. At first glance, Zhao Hun was a rare and clear official. He hadn't made any big mistakes, otherwise it would be irreversible.

.

"Yes, sir!" After saying that, Zhao Hun immediately said to the jailer next to him: "Luo Wei, please open the cell door quickly. Your Excellency wants to interrogate the prisoner."

Jailer Lowe is a middle-aged man in his forties with quite well-developed chest muscles. It feels like he should be an executioner rather than a jailer here.

Luo Wei responded, immediately opened the cell door, then lifted up Liu Er who was huddled inside, and then said: "Liu Er, sir, I want to see you."

"I don't see you, I don't see you! I only see General Qi, and no one else!"

Liu Er did not raise his head, but looked at his feet and shook his head, as if he was frightened.

"Liu Er, don't be nervous. I am Qi Jiguang. If you have anything to say, just tell me. I will never embarrass you!"

Qi Jiguang immediately spoke to comfort Liu Er and said. Now Liu Er's mood is extremely unstable. It is necessary to control it well, and Qi Jiguang's words are naturally a reassurance.

Liu Er immediately stopped shaking his head, then slowly raised his head, and then said excitedly: "You... you are General Qi? You... are you really General Qi?"

"Yes. I am Qi Jiguang, Liu Er. Please speak slowly and don't be anxious. How did those three people die? Also, you keep saying that you want to see me. Who is entrusting you to see me? What do you want to do when you see me? What?"

Qi Jiguang worked hard to calm Liu Er's emotions and tried to guide Liu Er to a peaceful state.

Liu Er slowly opened his dark eyes and looked at Qi Jiguang. After a moment of pause, he breathed a sigh of relief and then said: "You are General Qi. You are General Qi! I did not kill anyone. I really didn’t kill anyone. General Qi must save me, I know it must be that person, it must be the person who gave me the note!"

"The person who gave you the note? Where is the note? Let me see!"

Zhang Cheng immediately interrupted and said, obviously, the so-called note must have a great connection with Zhengyao.

"Who are you and why should I give it to you!"

Being made such a fuss by Zhang Cheng frightened Liu Er, who subconsciously took a step back.

"Liu Er! Don't be ridiculous. This is Mr. Zhang, the Minister of Justice. Please hand over the note quickly."

Seeing that Liu Er started to resist, Zhao Hun started to speak, his face suddenly showed dissatisfaction, and then he had the tendency to step forward to snatch it.

Upon seeing this, Qi Jiguang immediately stretched out his hand to stop Zhao Hun, and then said softly: "Liu Er, don't be nervous. Master Zhang, like me, has no ill intentions. We are here to help you. If you don't take out the note, we will It’s hard to believe what you said is true.”

After all, Qi Jiguang is a person who is used to seeing big scenes and has rich experience. He knows what kind of words to say to what kind of people. Sure enough, after saying this, Liu Er's original vigilance gradually began to disappear.

"Really...really?"

"It's absolutely true! I, Qi Jiguang, naturally do what I say!"

"Okay! Here...here!"

After saying that, Liu Er immediately took out a piece of paper about the size of his fingertips from his arms. It was all white and inconspicuous.

After receiving the small white note, Qi Jiguang did not read it, but handed it directly to Zhang Cheng. Zhang Cheng opened the note without any further hesitation.

"Follow me secretly and report to General Qi. I will thank you deeply!"

The white paper is spread out and eleven characters are counted. It is self-evident as to what they mean.

"That's right! That's it, that's it! This is the handwriting of the third brother!"

After reading out the eleven words, Zhang Cheng said excitedly, and now he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Upon seeing this, Ning An immediately said: "Really? Let me see!"

After saying that, he snatched the white note from Zhang Cheng's hand and took a closer look. The eleven words on it, whether it was a stroke or a stroke, or the cadence, were absolutely in line with Zhengyao's style!

It seems that there is no mistake this time. It should be Zhengyao's note. Zhengyao wants to use this note to convey his current situation.

"It seems there is no mistake."

Yuan Haiyun also nodded. Although he didn't have much research on those calligraphy or articles, he had read Zhengyao's calligraphy many times, so he was naturally impressed.

"That's right! Look, you all said yes! Then...then I must be innocent, General Qi, let me go quickly!"

Liu Er is starting to get a little excited now, believing that he will be released from prison soon.

"Wait! Then I also want to ask, have you tracked the person who sent you the note?"

Zhang Cheng immediately became serious again. This was the key point. If he hadn't been tracked, then everything would be nonsense, and it would be in vain. There was still no trace of Zhengyao's whereabouts.

"This...this is really to be honest, I didn't keep up."

Liu Er said a little aggrievedly.

"What? You didn't keep up, why didn't you keep up! Do you know that this is a matter of life and death!"

Ning An suddenly became a little angry. He had already stated that he wanted to follow him, so why didn't he follow him? This beggar was too unreliable.

Liu Er pouted and said innocently: "He... they were riding in a carriage. I... how could I possibly run past it! But..."

"But what? Say it quickly!"

Zhang Cheng was also anxious. Why did Liu Er learn to speak without finishing his sentence?

Liu Er immediately pursed his lips and smiled and said: "Fortunately, I was smart. I asked about the carriage shop and found out that the carriage leads to the foot of Yandang Mountain!"

"What? Yandang Mountain!!!"
