()(The fifth update is here!!! Okay, let’s be soft, the task is completed! Tomorrow Bolong is going on a blind date, I hope I can come back smoothly, and then continue to update, hehe, should everyone give me some blessings or something?)

Liu Er finally revealed Zheng Yao's final destination, which was Yandang Mountain. This was undoubtedly great news for Zhang Cheng and others in Ning'an.

However, this seemed to be a difficult problem for Qi Jiguang, but after hearing about Yandang Mountain, his whole body trembled involuntarily, as if he had been electrocuted.

"What's wrong, General Qi? Why did you react like this?"

Upon seeing this, Zhang Cheng immediately touched Qi Jiguang gently, and then asked with concern.

It stands to reason that few things like Qi Jiguang, a battle-hardened general, could make them so at a loss. However, Yandang Mountain seemed to suddenly touch his acupuncture points, which made Zhang Cheng feel puzzled.

. .

"Uh, no, it's nothing. By the way, Liu Er, tell me, who are the three dead people, and how did they die? How did they die next to you?"

Qi Jiguang seemed to be hiding something on purpose. As he spoke, he suddenly changed his words and turned his question to Liu Er.

However, Liu Er's question is also a key point. It is already very bizarre that three people of unknown origin died next to him, and it is even more bizarre to say that he killed them.

Not to mention those three people, Feng Bao is probably the weakest among them, and Liu Er may not be able to beat him. Isn't it a joke to ask him to kill three people?

Qi Jiguang finally asked this question, and Zhang Cheng couldn't help but nodded and said: "Yes, how did these three people die? Liu Er, just tell me what you know. If you are sure that it was not you who killed them.

, not only will we not punish you, we will also reward you!"

Zhang Cheng also began to use inducements. However, there was nothing good about this inducement. On the contrary, perhaps this would stimulate Liu Er to tell more truth. After all, between coercion and inducement, I believe most people would

Choose incentives.

"Then I...I'll tell you what I know! Here's the thing. Yesterday, I bumped into a scholar-looking young man at the gate of the city. At that time, I thought he wanted to argue with me. I didn't want two people to come behind me.

The woman gave me ten taels of silver and sent me away without saying a word. After getting the money, I naturally left! But then I found a small note popping out of my chest pocket. After thinking briefly,

.I remember it was left behind when the young man from the hidden grid bumped into me.

After reading the note, I turned around and followed them. Unexpectedly, they eventually caught up with the carriage and I couldn't catch up. Fortunately, I found out that they were going to Yandang Mountain, so I gained something.

Now that I knew his whereabouts, I decided to wait until the next day to find General Qi. After all, it was dark at that time, and General Qi might not see me even if he had time.

So I simply settled in a ruined temple in the west of the city, preparing to have a good night's sleep. However, in the middle of the night, three people suddenly appeared in the ruined temple and wanted to kill me without saying a word. I was nervous at the time. As a result, there was no one under my feet.

I stood firm and fell to the ground, but when I woke up the next day, I found that the three people had died beside me inexplicably.

When I saw a dead person, I was so frightened that I ran away quickly! But I didn't expect that before I could run three miles away, I was caught by an official from the Yamen. Before I had time to react, they actually said that I had killed someone and was trying to escape.

I am really wronged..."

It can be said that Liu Er was in a state of excitement. He seemed to tell everything he knew. He said everything that should be said, what should not be said, what was asked, and what was not asked. He said it all like a storyteller. It was indescribable.

Not detailed.

It is said that wealth can lead to the gods, and this seems to be true.

"So, even you don't know who killed those three people?"

Qi Jiguang asked doubtfully, seeming to have some reservations.

After all, there are many suspects who deny it during the first and second interrogation, and will also find excuses of one kind or another, so it is better to have some reservations, even if he does not actually think Liu Er is the murderer.

"It's true, General Qi, I really didn't lie to you, and I believe you can all see that with my body shape, even one of them may not be able to fight. How could I kill three people in one go?

"

Liu Er said aggrievedly, this is a serious crime of murder and must not be confessed indiscriminately.

"Then do you know the identities of those three people?"

Zhang Cheng immediately followed suit and asked.

"How could I know them? Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the martial arts of those three people are very strong. If I had such enemies or friends, would I still be a beggar here eating and drinking? But what is certain is that among them,

So they killed me because I had contact with that young man, and obviously they didn't want people to know where the young man was."

This time Liu Er was smarter and quickly thought that this matter might have something to do with Zheng Yao.

Of course, it is not difficult to speculate. After all, Liu Er was hunted down because of his contact with Zhengyao. As Liu Er said, if he really knew such a person, I believe he would not still be a beggar today.

.

Hearing what Liu Er said made sense, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but touch his chin, and then said to Zhao Hun, the prefect of Wenzhou on the side: "Mr. Zhao, what do you think about this?"

"Well... the lower officials can't make the decision in this matter. Mr. Zhang still has to make his own judgment!"

Zhao Hun knew that Zhang Cheng did this on purpose. After all, he had said that Liu Er had killed someone before, but now it seemed that this was not the case at all. In this way, he had mistakenly blamed good people and wronged others.

This is indeed a bit unreasonable.

Originally, the most taboo thing for officials, especially parents, was to judge cases indiscriminately. In order to grab credit and claim credit, they would not hesitate to arrest some people to take the blame. However, these things are not uncommon in today's officialdom, and they have become a common practice.

This is a major bad habit in officialdom.

This also made Zhang Cheng hate these officials to the core, and now Zhao Hun is also the same. Fortunately, he was discovered in time, otherwise he would have another innocent soul.

When Zhang Cheng said this, he naturally wanted to give Zhao Hun a warning.

"It's good that you know! I hope you won't make such a mistake again in the future! By the way, General Qi, what do you think of this?"

Zhang Cheng gave Zhao Hun a lesson, then turned his head and asked Qi Jiguang.

Among everyone now, Qi Jiguang speaks with the most authority and the most experience. Of course, everyone's hopes are pinned on him.

"It is absolutely not true that Liu Er committed murder. I believe someone must have come out secretly to kill those three people. They must have deliberately wanted Liu Er to inform us. As for whether the person behind it is an enemy or a friend, it is really difficult to tell. But now

What is certain is that the root cause of everything started when the prince-in-law was kidnapped, so the first thing we need to do now is to find the prince-in-law and rescue him safely!"

Qi Jiguang said in an orderly manner. Listening to his tone, you naturally knew that he was definitely a person who did great things.

Of course people need to be saved, but how to save them is a question worthy of discussion.

"So where to start?"

Zhang Cheng actually had no choice but to rely on Qi Jiguang. After all, there was still a certain gap between himself and Qi Jiguang.

Qi Jiguang frowned slightly, and then said: "Mr. Zhao, let Liu Er go first. As for the reward, you can just wait for it and come back to my house to get it! As for the princess and all the gentlemen, we should go back to the house first.

Let’s discuss again, this matter is not as simple as it seems.”

As he spoke, Qi Jiguang's expression became more solemn, as if he had touched upon a vital point.

"Okay! Everything will be as General Qi said!"

Ning An didn't have any ideas at this time. Apart from worries, there was basically nothing else in his mind. With Qi Jiguang here, everyone could feel at ease.

"Well, it's not too late, let's go back to Qi's house quickly!"

With that said, Qi Jiguang negotiated with Zhao Hun, then turned around and prepared to go back home.
Chapter completed!
