Chapter 339 Liang Zhongshu was furious upon hearing the letter
The few officers and soldiers who were escorting the birthday party were the Imperial Guards of Daming Prefecture. They originally planned to go to Jeju Prefecture to report for official duties, so they stayed at Xiaoxing for lunch. When they arrived at Liang Zhongshu's residence, they all prostrated themselves on the ground and kowtowed in apology.
Liang Zhongshu saw these people's heads touching the ground and was very puzzled, but he still followed the routine he had already thought of and said: "You have worked hard along the way, thank you all." After saying that these officers and soldiers were still not seen here, he felt in his heart Suddenly I felt something was wrong and quickly asked: "Where is Yang Tiha?"
The officers and soldiers glanced at each other secretly, and already had their heads on the ground. No one dared to lift them up, and no one dared to respond.
Liang Zhongshu had a bad premonition that spread through his body like a bolt of lightning. He couldn't help but buzz in his head, and almost fell down due to weak legs. Liang Zhongshu supported the corner of the table with one hand and put his other hand on his painful forehead, saying sadly : "Is there something wrong with the birthday plan? You are the only one left alive, Yang Tiha and the others are all dead,"
After hearing this, everyone shivered on the ground, pretending to be shuddering deliberately, but still did not speak.
"You guys should say something," Liang Zhongshu finally touched the bottom line of his endurance and couldn't help but get angry.
At this time, the best time came, so everyone said: "In return... to return favors, Yang Zhi... Yang Zhi is an ungrateful thief. We have all been plotted by that guy. Everything belongs to that guy." It's a trap. He, Yang Zhi, is the head of Erlong Mountain. I don't know how he got a military status. He actually came here for the birthday plan. Otherwise, he would have chosen the wrong path instead of taking the good path. The purpose of this method is to send him to Erlong Mountain."
"What," Liang Zhongshu heard in disbelief. He didn't want to believe that he was wrong. He couldn't believe that being the governor of Daming Mansion was not as good as being the head of the family in the mountains. Liang Zhongshu was even more unwilling to admit that he The promising plan actually fell into someone else's ridiculous trap. Liang Zhongshu slapped the corner of the table again. Although it hurt his hands, it was nothing compared to the heartache of losing the birthday card at this moment. Liang Zhongshu said angrily: "You guys You are talking nonsense, I guess there must be some shameful deeds,"
"It's unjust," everyone kowtowed to the ground and said, "The sky is clear and the sun is clear, my kindness is clear."
"Where is the old gambling den?" Liang Zhongshu asked.
"Lao Du was in charge... Lao Du was in charge of others... He was killed by Yang Zhi,"
"What?" Liang Zhongshu was shocked again. He sat dejectedly on the chair of the Grand Master. If Yang Zhi really killed the old governor, it seems that he really did the opposite... Liang Zhongshu focused his distracted eyes instantly. , he sat up, stared at the kneeling officers and soldiers below and asked: "What exactly happened that day? Tell it from the beginning in detail. There must be no absurd words, otherwise everyone will be executed."
"Yes, yes, yes," the crowd below kowtowed like chickens pecking at rice and responded in rapid succession.
"Since we left here, Yang Zhi's attitude towards us has become worse and worse. He would curse us if we had any slight inconvenience. At first, there were gangsters who tried to rob us. No matter how many there were, no matter how powerful the opponents were, Yang Zhi took the lead. We were still secretly impressed by the killing of everyone, but there was a slight flaw. You don't know, Enxiang. There were as few as two to three hundred to as many as a hundred thieves along the way. As the saying goes: ' Two punches are no match for four palms. However, every time our chariots fight against them, we kill those thieves and throw away their armor."
After hearing this, Liang Zhongshu raised his eyebrows and said, "Why is there a flaw?"
The officers and soldiers replied: "We didn't notice it at first. It was General Qin Fei who discovered it. The two of us took a closer look. Sure enough, many of the dead thieves had fatal wounds three fingers wide on their bodies. However, This wound was not caused by one of our people. We are all simple swordsmen, and we can't kill such a wound."
"Oh..." Liang Zhongshu listened intently and said: "What's going on?"
"It was Yang Zhi's group who helped us secretly. I don't know what evil methods were used to do it. Another time when we were crossing a big river, two groups of people were killed on both sides of the river. After they fought out, we found several groups on the hillside. Hundreds of corpses, all died in the same way,"
"There's this thing..." Liang Zhongshu half believed and half left in his heart.
"No, that's not all. After arriving in Yidu, Yang Zhi no longer settled in the military camp. We still had to pack the birthday card into small boxes and escort them to a dilapidated escort agency. I don't know. When did he set off, he took another group of people and left early, leaving only General Qin Fei and us marching slowly behind. There were still strong men coming to kill along the way, but this time the killing was obviously not as effective. It turned out to be easy,”
After hearing this, Liang Zhongshu certainly understood. He pretended to be a member of the escort agency in Yidu, and asked the troops to follow and protect him. This was what Liang Zhongshu agreed to do. He originally wanted to say: Those people were sent by him. However, as soon as he opened his mouth, before he could interrupt, the officer and soldier below made a startling statement: "It's a good thing Yang Zhi, he took his men from Erlong Mountain and pretended to be members of the escort agency and left long ago. He didn't care about our life or death, and wanted to take advantage of the obstacles of the strongman's fighting to get rid of us. However, Yang Zhishan's retribution came after he had done all his deeds. They walked into a canyon and were ambushed by a group of rogue bandits. None of them could escape, but one person came to Qin Fei with a guard badge to ask for help. At that time, General Qin Fei didn't know what they were doing, so he led a large army to kill them. When he rescued them, Apart from the old Du Guan and the two Yuhou, the only ones left are Yang Zhi and him, the leader of Erlong Mountain."
"Yang Zhi's conspiracy was shattered like this, and he had to go with us as a last resort. However, he didn't get rid of the large army as planned, so he couldn't escape back to Erlong Mountain. Therefore, when we arrived at Erlong Mountain, we were attacked At that time, the leader who was traveling with Yang Zhi also changed his expression and swung his sword towards General Qin Fei to kill him. However, after all, our officers and soldiers are well-trained and incomparable to those reckless people. Three strikes Five divided by two quickly killed the gangsters and captured many prisoners. When Yang Zhi saw that the situation was not right, he originally wanted to be rebelled but pretended to be rebellious. Not only did he stop his leader, he also asked Qin Fei to arrest him. The minions were silenced,"
"What happened next," Liang Zhongshu asked.
"Everyone has seen Yang Zhi's kung fu, and no one dared to offend him. After passing Erlong Mountain, he walked down like this. I originally thought that Yang Zhi's delusion of robbing the birthday card was shattered, and he would be able to work for En Xiang with peace of mind. However, We all overestimated this guy. Not only did he not want to repent, he also intensified his efforts. In the ensuing fight with the bandits along the way, he no longer took the lead. Instead, he secretly cheated and shot the two marquis to death. The old governor was also hit by an arrow. However, he was very lucky and did not die at that time. However, because the old governor knew Yang Zhi's background, he had long been a thorn in Yang Zhi's side.
"When we arrived at Huangnigang, the weather was very hot, so we all rested in the woods to cool off, but we didn't expect that Yang Zhi and seven thieves collaborated and pretended to be jujube merchants. Yang Zhi had been with him before, so he first recommended Seven Jiangzhou carriages were waiting in the pine forest on Huangni Gang. They asked a man to carry a load of wine to rest on the hill. Everyone was thirsty, so he bought wine for them to eat. Who would have thought that they would be eaten by that man? The anesthesia we used was numb, and the drug took effect for a while. None of us could move. We watched helplessly as Yang Zhi killed the old man. General Qin Fei struggled to fight, but he didn't want to be killed by Yang Zhi. My arms were all chopped off... I only escaped by pretending to be dead. Later, Yang Zhi and the seven thieves loaded all the birthday treasures and luggage into the car. We first went to Jeju Prefecture, which is under the jurisdiction of the local government. After reporting the report, two people were left there with the government to catch the thief. The young people rushed back at night to inform the prime minister, "
Liang Zhongshu was shocked when he heard this. What he said was very clear, and there were causes and consequences. This conspiracy was actually layer by layer. No matter how you thought about it, it didn't look like it could be made up by these rough guys, so at that moment, he felt Convinced, he was so angry that he trembled all over. He threw all the Four Treasures of the Study on the table to the floor and cursed: "This thief is a prisoner of the army. I only want to promote him as a man. How could I imagine that he can do this?" If such an unkind and ungrateful thing happens, if I catch him, his body will be broken into thousands of pieces." Then he called the scribe to write a document. At that time, someone was sent to Jeju to drop him off at night. He also wrote a letter home, and the author also went to Tokyo that night. Report to the Grand Master to know.
【Jeju Prefecture·Fu Yamen】
Ever since the governor of Jeju Prefecture received a letter from Liang Zhongshu, the left-behind secretary of Daming Prefecture in Beijing, he went to court every day and searched every day. However, after several days, there was still no clue at all.
Just when the official of the first government office was feeling depressed, the chief official quickly walked into the government office and reported: "The official of the Imperial Palace in Tokyo has arrived in front of the office. I have an urgent official document to send to you, sir."
When the governor heard that he was from the Taishifu sect in Tokyo, he was shocked and said, "Don't worry about the birth date." So he hurriedly went up to the hall to meet with the governor.
The Fu Yin came out of the inner office, but he thought of a lot of ways to respond during the short journey. When he saw the Fu Yin, he said: "It's been a long journey from afar. I guess this trip to the official office is for my birthday." , Alas, I have been accused of this matter by the officers and soldiers of Daming Prefecture. I have sent arresters to cast nets all over the city, but there is no trace yet. The day before yesterday, the Remaining Department sent people to pay a courtesy and paid it here, and also sent Wei Si and Arrest and observation are coming to cooperate in handling the case, and the arrest is limited by the staff. However, there are many mountains and forests in the surrounding area of Qingzhou, and so far we have not found anything. If there is any news, I will definitely go to the Prime Minister's Mansion in person to reply,"
The governor snorted coldly and didn't care about the governor's clever words. After presenting the letter in full, he solemnly declared: "The villain is a confidant in the Taishi's house. Now I serve the Grandmaster Jun." According to the decree, I was specially sent here to capture these robbers. Before leaving, the Grand Master personally paid the money and taught the villain to arrive at the mansion. He only stayed in the state government office to rest, waiting for Master Yin to take this. The seven date sellers, the liquor seller, and especially the fugitive officer Yang Zhi were escorted back together. Finally, the Grand Master specifically gave instructions that the culprits should be captured within ten days and then sent out. I'm going to Tokyo. If I don't solve this case within ten days, I'm afraid I'll have to ask you to go to Salmon Island for a visit first, and I won't be able to go back to the Grand Master's Mansion. I don't even know what's going to happen to my life. "If you don't believe what I said, please take a look at the Jun note sent from the Grand Master's Mansion. The instructions will become more and more detailed." After reading this, the Fu Yin was shocked, and the sweat on his back made his clothes stick together. At this time, there is no need to delay, and I don’t dare to hesitate at all. I immediately summon the arrester and others.
