An arrow accidentally hit his vest. The man did not die immediately, but still stubbornly climbed forward. But soon, several knights caught up and chopped off his head with a knife.
"General Yu Lang is good at archery." Gao Jifu's voice came, and his figure gradually emerged.
General Yu, surnamed Lang, smiled calmly, "With little skill, among the sixteen guards, there are not many people who are outstanding in their archery skills."
Since the birth of the Weihe Workshop, the cost price of arrows has been suppressed again and again. The firepower of Datang's arrows is extremely fierce. In order to deal with the Turks who were riding through the mountains, the soldiers of the Sixteenth Guards shot arrows like crazy day and night.
Even an ordinary knight has impressive archery skills.
Gao Jifu looked at the dead body on the ground and sighed: "It's a pity that this person is the contact person and we couldn't capture him alive. If we want to continue investigating this clue, I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort."
General Yu Lang pondered: "Those captured thieves, I wonder if they know this person's identity and whereabouts."
"It's possible. We can only start from this aspect now. I hope we can get the evidence quickly, otherwise the guys behind these people will probably hide." Gao Jifu rubbed his temples with a headache.
This operation went very smoothly at first. He used Zhao Dawei to successfully infiltrate the landowners who were mining coal mines privately. When he was about to arrest these people, he did not expect that the liaison officer would be so alert and actually let him know.
He escaped.
In desperation, in order to prevent the news from leaking, they had no choice but to kill this person.
"Let's go back and interrogate those guys."
"yes."
Qixian, Wenfu.
Although the Taiyuan Wen family is not as prominent as the Taiyuan Wang family, due to the status of Wen Daya, Wen Yanbo and others in the Tang Dynasty, they are currently one of the major families in Taiyuan.
Winter winter winter!
Wen Yanfang knocked on the door of the mansion, and soon the concierge opened the door and let him in. Wen Yanfang walked through the verandah and came to a courtyard.
"Brother, Xiao Liuzi went to collect the goods last night and didn't come back."
Wen Yanzhi put down the tea cup and asked: "Will you go to a brothel in the city? That guy can't control his lower body. It was the same last time."
"No, I sent someone to inquire. The mice who went to deliver goods yesterday didn't show up."
"What?" Wen Yanzhi couldn't sit still. He stood up and asked, "Have you found their whereabouts?"
"No, this is what I'm worried about." Wen Yanfang said, "Brother, do you think the government will..."
"Impossible." Wen Yanzhi immediately objected and said, "Taiyuan Commander Xue Deyin is one of ours. If he wanted to arrest someone, how could he not know about us?"
"Then where did they go?" Wen Yanfang was confused.
Wen Yanzhi paced back and forth and immediately said: "Send someone immediately to find out the information. Remember, be careful not to leak the information."
"yes."
Three days passed and the Wen Yanzhi brothers found no one, so they finally panicked.
"We can't go on like this. You go to Xue Deyin immediately and ask him to send someone to investigate the traces of Xiao Liuzi and those rats."
"Yes." Wen Yanfang agreed.
At the same time, Taiyuan Street.
"This is indeed the land of Longxing, and Your Majesty deserves to praise Magistrate Xue for his talent in governance." Gao Jifu looked at the majestic and solid Taiyuan City and praised Xue Deyin without hesitation.
"Gao Yushi is so complimentary." Xue Deyin smiled proudly and said: "Since His Majesty appointed me as the Order of Taiyuan, I have been frightened, fearing that I would not do well and live up to His Majesty's respect. Now that Gao Yushi agrees with me, I
I feel very relieved."
He has been in the post of Taiyuan Order for several years. Next year at most, he should be transferred to the central government as an official. With Xue Shou here and His Majesty's trust, it is not impossible to become a minister in the future.
matter.
"Haha." Gao Jifu chuckled, his eyes wandering.
The two arrived at Taiyuan County Government Office.
Gao Jifu took out a confession from his sleeve and handed it to Xue Deyin.
"Let's take a look."
Hearing the cold tone of the other party, Xue Deyin was a little surprised, but he didn't think much about it and opened the confession to watch.
As a result, the more he looked, the more frightened and frightened he became.
Because what was written in it were the confessions of several landowners who mined coal mines privately, and there was also a small amount of evidence of selling Tang people. The most important thing was that a man named Wen Liu was involved.
He knew that this man was a member of Wen Yanzhi's tribe.
According to the confession above, Wen was secretly involved in coal mining and other matters.
"This... this is impossible." Xue Deyin was sweating on his forehead, feeling panicked as if something had been revealed.
"This is true." Gao Jifu broke his last bit of luck and said slowly: "I have obtained the evidence, controlled the thieves who secretly mined the coal mine, and also found the place where Wen's coal mine was hidden.
Magistrate Xue, if something like this happened under your rule, what would your Majesty think of you if he knew about it?
Are you worthy of His Majesty's importance?"
At first, Gao Jifu didn't want to come to Xue Deyin, but when it came to the Wen family, if he didn't capture Xue Deyin first and let him cooperate with him to capture the people involved in the Wen family, things would go wrong. As a bureaucrat, Gao Jifu knew very well.
Xue Deyin must have played some role in this.
It may be a participant, or it may be an inaction that turns a blind eye. In any case, Xue Deyin cannot escape the blame.
Of course, there is a danger in doing this, that is, exposing yourself. Once Xue Deyin colludes with the Wen family, his approach will undoubtedly be a trap for himself.
However, he was ready, and Tang Qi was ready. Once the negotiations broke down, he would first control Xue Deyin, and then use Xue Deyin's name as an excuse to take down the Wen family. At that time, he would bring Xue Deyin and the Wen family's involved personnel together
Sent to Chang'an.
Xue Deyin squeezed the confession tightly and whispered: "Do you know who is behind the Wen family?"
"I know." Gao Jifu said, "Servant Wen Yanbo."
"Then you still dare to investigate them?" Xue Deyin was a little angry. Of course he knew what the Wen Yanzhi brothers were doing in private, but he knew better that Wen Yanbo was behind them. Because of this, he chose to indulge.
After all, he couldn't afford to offend Wen Yanbo.
"So what?" Gao Jifu sneered: "As long as the truth is found out, I will definitely impeach Wen Yanbo for the crime of indulging his clan members to seek wealth and murder!"
Hearing this, Xue Deyin knew that he had met Erluozi.
"How do you want to check?" he asked after being silent for a while.
When the matter has developed to this point, Gao Jifu holds evidence in his hand, and his sophistry is useless.
"Just check how you want to check." Gao Jifu said coldly.
"I see."
At this moment, a petty official walked in.
"Your Majesty, Wen Yanfang would like to see you."
Xue Deyin looked at Gao Jifu, who sneered: "It came quite quickly."
At the gate of the county government office, Wen Yanfang received permission, stepped into the county government office, and met Xue Deyin.
"Xue Gong, Wen Liu is missing." Wen Yanfang said bluntly.
Xue Deyin glanced at the screen and asked, "Then what do you want me to do?"
"Find him."
"What else?"
Wen Yanfang said: "Those people are also missing. We must find them all, otherwise the matter will be leaked and it will be difficult for us."
Xue Deyin said: "Don't worry, as long as Prime Minister Wen is here, you will be fine."
Speaking of this, Wen Yanfang smiled and said, "Having said that, it's better not to disturb brother if you can. Don't worry, Mr. Xue, after this matter is over, I will say a few nice words for you in front of brother."
"Thank you very much." Xue Deyin twitched the corner of her mouth and agreed.
Even if you say nice words to me, you can't protect yourselves.
