"The rolling waters of the Yangtze River... I still feel amazed when I think about it. It is hard to imagine that Yang Yongxiu was the murderer of Jian Zhang."
Lin Xu sat in the teahouse and said slowly: "But looking back on that day and what happened in the city these days, I'm afraid this is really the case."
Zhou Nan, who was sitting opposite him, looked very haggard. He looked downstairs and asked, "Is An Dao also being followed?"
"Yes, I stopped one person in turn and asked. It was Fan Zibo who asked them to follow us, saying that he would arrest Yang Yongxiu if they encountered him."
"I had this suspicion after I went back that night." Zhou Nan whispered: "Then it seems that Jian Zhang really died because of me."
"Yuanjiang, you don't have to blame yourself..."
Zhou Nan shook his head, tears rolling down his eyes.
"If I hadn't been deceived by Yang Shen and brought him to see Jian Jian, how could such a thing have happened?"
"Yuanjiang, listen to me. I don't blame you for this. Anyone who hears such words will be shocked." Lin Xu said: "If I were the one who met Yang Shen at that time, I would definitely take him with me.
If you go to a party, it’s just that this person is really deep-set.”
Zhou Nan didn't answer, but he was obviously still blaming himself.
Lin Xu added: "It's useless to feel sorry for yourself right now. What you and I should do is to catch Yang Shen and avenge Jianzhang. Then ask him face to face. Why did he treat us like this when we have confided in him?"
"Catch him?"
"I think the two murder cases in the city the day before yesterday must be related to Yang Shen. Fan Zibo sealed off Bozhou City, which shows that Yang Shen is still in the city. You and I have seen him, so it's time for us to contribute."
Zhou Nan said: "Why didn't Zibo tell us earlier?"
"He just doesn't want you to blame yourself. Moreover, this matter involves the Song people and the Mongols, so he doesn't want us to get involved too deeply. But the matter is over, let's catch the person first and then talk about it."
"good."
"Let's not worry, Bozhou City is so big, he..."
In the middle of his speech, Lin suddenly stopped, squinting and staring at somewhere on the long street.
"Andao?"
"Yuanjiang, look at that..."
Zhou Nan turned his head and looked where he saw a handsome young man standing at the entrance of the theater. He had a slender figure and a graceful temperament. If not Yang Shen and Yang Yongxiu, who could he be?
~~
"Fan experience, Fan experience, we found Yang Shen! We found it..."
Fan Yuan turned his head and rubbed his red nose, with some confusion on his face.
"Found it so quickly?"
"Yes. At the Yutang Theater, Lin Andao, Zhou Yuanjiang could clearly see that it was definitely him. Our people were already watching him. We were afraid that he would run away, so we came back first to report the news. Let's take people to arrest him quickly."
Fan Yuan thought for a while and then ordered: "Take Andao and Yuanjiang away to prevent them from getting involved in this matter and offending the Mongols."
"yes."
Fan Yuan then calmly stood up and led the people to the Yutang Theater.
When he arrived at the theater, he first ordered people to surround the garden.
I was worried that the kid would slip away, so I walked into the door and saw a young man walking out.
"That's him! Yang Shen, don't leave!"
"Take it!"
"..."
Fan Yuan had already met the man's eyes, and just by looking at the firmness and calmness in his eyes, he was sure in an instant that this was the Song Dynasty's Xi Zuo who had caused trouble for him.
Suddenly, a loud shout in Mongolian sounded, like an explosion.
"What are you doing?!"
Fan Yuan turned around and saw Chi Na striding out of the theater.
He frowned, feeling somewhat enlightened. Then he looked at the young man standing there calmly and calmly, and couldn't help but laugh to himself.
"What are you doing?!"
Fan Yuan hurriedly greeted him, bowed in front of Chi Na, and said with a smile in Mongolian: "We are arresting the murderer of Galu."
"Fart!" Chi Na said: "This is my new interpreter!"
~~
Li Xia was also looking at Fan Yuan.
He still had a polite smile on his face and a gentle demeanor, but his eyes were looking at him.
For a moment, the two seemed to communicate with their eyes.
"Interpretation?"
"Yes, I killed Qin Boxheng, so he will naturally find a new interpreter."
"I'll expose you."
"Try it."
Li Xia smiled silently, with a calm look on his face.
Only after this moment of eye contact, Fan Yuan looked at Chi Na before he wanted to speak, but Chi Na had already lifted up his collar.
"You killed two of my men, and I didn't come to you, so you came to me?!"
"No... Galu and Qin Boxheng were really not killed by us." Fan Yuan said: "We have found out that the murderer is him. He is a spy sent by the Song Dynasty..."
"Believe me, you bitch! Do you want to kill everyone around me one by one?! If I, Abu, hadn't stopped me, I would have killed all of you!"
Chi Na was obviously very angry. He sprayed foam in Fan Yuan's face and cursed: "You Han people are too cheap! The person who killed me deceived me again, Abu! I'm so angry!"
Fan Yuan was lifted up and his feet had already left the ground. He smiled apologetically and said, "We will never dare to deceive Daru Huachi, never."
He pointed at Li Xia and said, "Did he say these words? He is deceiving you. He..."
"You fart! Are you saying that I am stupider than my Abu?!" Chi Na shouted: "You are the ones who are lying to my Abu, not Yang Shen who is lying to me!"
Li Xia looked at Fan Yuan, tilted his head, and a smile flashed in his eyes.
--uh-huh?
"Evidence, we have evidence, Yang Shen really killed Galu." Fan Yuan suddenly said.
When he said that, he stared at Li Xia's eyes, and sure enough he saw the smile in Li Xia's eyes disappear.
"evidence?!"
Chi Na finally let Fan Yuan down.
Abu said not to rush to judgment on this matter until there is evidence.
"show me!"
"Okay... okay..." Fan Yuan straightened his collar, wiped the snot that he had not blown away with a handkerchief, and then spoke slowly again.
"Earlier today, we found the carpenter. Yang Shen bought the small Buddha statue from his shop and placed it at Galu's house. He also stole the ax from the carpenter. This will be known once we ask."
"Okay! Then bring the person for questioning!"
As Chi Na said, he turned back and glanced at Li Xia, his eyes became evil, and two Mongolian guards immediately held Li Xia down.
"If you dare to lie to me, I will trample you into a pulp!"
Li Xia seemed to have not yet reacted, with a confused look on his face. After a while, he exclaimed: "I was wronged..."
…
After a while, the carpenter Ah Fu was brought over.
Chi Na stepped forward, kicked away a Zhang family guard, and shouted: "I will judge!"
"Yes, yes." Fan Yuan hurriedly stepped forward to apologize, but turned to Ah Fu and shouted: "Quickly tell me what happened that day."
"Yes, that day, a petty official came to the villain's shop with his servants, bought a small Buddha statue, and stole an ax from the villain."
Ding Quan took out something and asked, "Is it this Buddha statue and this axe?"
"Yes, it's these two things."
"If you tell the truth in front of a noble person, is that person him?"
Ah Fu raised his head and looked at Li Xia...
At this time, Chi Na's face already had a look of suspicion; Ding Quan gritted his teeth and his eyes were full of excitement; Fan Yuan looked at Li Xia again with some contemplation.
Only Li Xia still looked confused and turned to look at the carpenter Ah Fu.
"No." Ah Fu said.
"What?!" Ding Quan couldn't believe it.
Ah Fu knelt down quickly and said: "Jintian bought the wood carving that day, and it was not this little official who stole the axe."
"No...didn't you say that? A young and handsome official..."
"Yes, the villain said it, but it's not him." Ah Fu said: "The villain remembers it clearly, and it's really not him. That person is shorter than him, and his face is rounder than him, so he is definitely not the same person...
"
Ding Quan opened his mouth. Based on the descriptions of Lin Xu and Zhou Nan, and comparing them with the carpenter's words, he found that they both looked like young and handsome children of aristocratic families, and he was completely sure that they were talking about the same person.
"But……"
Before Ding Quan finished speaking, he felt a pain in his abdomen and was kicked away by Chi Na.
"Lie to me?! You still want to lie to me! It must be you who killed two of my men and wanted to capture my men! You just want to weaken my strength and you lie to my Abu?!"
Fan Yuan quickly prostrated himself and said: "My lord, calm down and calm down. This incident at least proves that it was indeed a young man who killed Galu, not us. We will investigate as soon as possible and give you a satisfactory answer."
"Release my interpreter! If you lie to me again, I will kill you!"
Chi Na snorted heavily, turned around and left.
Fan Yuan stood up and saw Li Xia being let go by the Mongolian guard.
He quickly followed up and asked in a low voice in Chinese: "Yang Shen, what is your real name? Did you ask someone to buy the wood carvings for you? And you deliberately left the wood carvings to lure me into being deceived?"
Li Xia smiled and said, "Why do you doubt people so randomly?"
"Okay, let's see who can deceive this fool."
"How dare you call a noble person a fool?"
Before turning around, the two of them only had time to say these two sentences. Li Xia, the new interpreter, had already caught up with him and followed Chi Na away among several Mongolian guards.
Fan Yuan stood there silently for a long time, and finally burst out laughing.
