Before Sang Luo began to tell his speculation, he first glanced sideways at the inn, because he knew that Tang Xiaohao was watching somewhere without eavesdropping.
Sure enough, Tang Xiaohao was sitting at a table in the inn, holding a teapot, looking relaxed and content.
Tang Chen stared at Tang Xiaohao, but Tang Xiaohao turned a blind eye.
Sang Luo began to tell: "Before sunset the day before yesterday, Mr. Ling first saw the two disciples of Broken Golden Gate outside the city and had a conflict with them. After the conflict was resolved, the two went straight to the west gate. Soon after, Mr. Ling
The young master saw the five disciples of the Beggar Clan again. Then, after the people from Duanjin Gate entered the west gate holding the token of the Nanrong family, the Beggar Clan also prepared to enter the city, but was stopped. At this time, the young master asked him to give in out of good intentions.
The sentry let them into the city."
Tang Chen nodded and said, "Yes, that's right."
Sang Luo added: "Three questions arise here. First, why do the people in Duanjinmen hold the Nanrong family's token? Second, why do they rush into the city? Third, who are members of the Beggar Clan?
Why track them?"
Tang Chen was silent, he naturally knew the answer, but he also heard from Sang Luo's words that Tang Xiaohao had not informed Che Zhihai about it yet, and it seemed that his son also knew that Che Zhihai had a special status.
Sang Luo turned around and glanced at Tang Xiaohao in the inn: "That night, when the Shendu Army was patrolling, they found the five beggars on the street and the two people who broke the Golden Gate. To be precise, they found three
A beggar, because one of them has died in the inn next to him, and another one is at the back door of the inn. In addition, the two disciples of Duanjinmen are already dying. It is easy to analyze that the five disciples of the Beggar Gang are here to hunt down the two
To break the Golden Gate disciples, this is the purpose of the five Beggar Gang disciples entering the city."
Tang Chen just stood there and listened, analyzing in his mind.
Sang Luo continued: "So it can be analyzed that the five disciples of the Beggar Clan found the two Duanjinmen disciples who lived in that inn. Two of the five members of the Beggar Clan entered the inn and arranged for two of them to lurk with long bows.
Waiting in the surrounding high places, the remaining person blocked the back door of the inn. Who knew that when they started to take action, the five members of the Beggar Gang first killed one person, the beggar who died in the inn, and then the two disciples who broke the Golden Gate.
He escaped with serious injuries, but was ambushed by archers who had prepared an ambush, causing him to fall from the roof. Just when the Beggar Clan was about to kill him, the Shendu Army arrived just in time, and the leader withdrew.
, the well-trained Shendu Army also realized that the matter was not simple, and began to disperse their forces to contain, and then discovered the beggar at the back door. However, in the end, the leader and the two beggars at the back door escaped, and the two archers were captured.
The Shendu Army will kill them."
After finishing speaking, Sang Luo looked directly into Tang Chen's eyes: "One of the three questions I raised before has been answered, that is, the purpose of the Beggar Gang in tracking the two disciples of the Golden Gate is to kill them, but why did the Beggar Gang
Are the people who want to hunt down the people who broke the Golden Gate?"
Of course Tang Chen had a general direction in mind, but he didn't dare to say it.
Sang Luo continued: "In addition to the imperial court, there are also rivers and lakes and different sects in this world. The eight sects of the Jianghu and the twelve sects of the different sects are two very huge forces. In the court, especially among the generals, the big ones who are from the Jianghu sects
There are people who are here, and they are proud of it. However, there are also people who come from different sects. But these people who come from different sects do not dare to disclose their former identities. Why is this? Because there is an unchanging rule of the heretic.
, Cooperation with the government is never allowed. Once a person from a heretic takes refuge with the government, he will be hunted down. This is the reason."
Tang Chen said deliberately: "So, the reason why the two disciples of Duanjinmen held the Nanrong family's tokens was because they took refuge in the Nanrong family? They were also considered to have taken refuge in the imperial court, so they were punished by the Beggar Clan.
Chase?"
This answers Sang Luo's first question, why are the two disciples of Duanjinmen holding the Nanrong family's tokens.
"No, this has to go back to the Beggar Gang," Sang Luo shook his head and said, "Although the Beggar Gang belongs to the Jianghu sect, it is also the largest gang in the Jianghu. There are two reasons why it ranks first. One is that the Beggar Gang has a large number of people.
, Secondly, the Beggar Gang is also inextricably related to the Heretic. In other words, the Beggar Gang is both a Jianghu sect and a Heretic sect. However, the Beggar Gang will not take care of the heretic traitors. As for today’s Beggar Gang
It is said that in addition to maintaining the basic order of the world, they also have another responsibility, which is to hunt and kill Guijia."
When Tang Chen heard this, he immediately thought of the news that Che Zhihai had said before he became Guijia - the Nanrong family was raising Guijia!
Sang Luo suddenly laughed: "So, the five Beggar Clan chased and killed the two disciples of Duanjinmen, not because they took refuge in the Nanrong family, but because those two guys had turned into Guijia. This is the only answer.
. Now, there is only one last question left, why did the two Duanjinmen disciples who became Guijia and held Nanrong family tokens enter the Shendu City?"
Sang Luo's words were very clever, but the original meaning was why these two Duanjinmen disciples who became Guijia took the Nanrong family's token and entered Shendu City? They both became Guijia before joining the Nanrong family.
, or became one after taking refuge? This is the biggest problem in this case.
Of course Tang Chen knew why, but he couldn't say. If he told Sang Luo the news about Che Zhihai's spying, it would be a difficult problem for the great counselor. What would the great counselor do after learning the news? It was to confirm the information.
Is it true or pretending not to know? Not to mention the series of questions that followed.
Seeing that Tang Chen was not going to say anything, Sang Luo could only say: "Since the bodies of the two Guijias are in the morgue of the Shendu Military Yamen, it's time for General Tang to close the case."
After Sang Luo finished speaking, Tang Chen was startled. What does closing the case mean?
Sang Luo said again: "Unfortunately, the relevant culprits in this case are all dead. Now we know that the two Guijia people who hold the Nanrong family token are only you, me, Mr. Ling, and the Shendu Army."
General Mu and General Liao, as well as the soldiers of the Shendu Army who saw the token at the West City Gate, as for the leader of the Beggar Gang who is still alive, I said before that they will not interfere in the affairs of the court, so now if we go all out to arrest
Catching him will only create additional problems."
Sang Luo was already teaching Tang Chen to do anything. As long as the two Guijia holding Nanrong family tokens were not leaked out, the case would be over.
Naturally, Sang Luo, Tang Chen, Tang Xiaohao, Mu Yinghao and Liao Yanqi would not reveal this matter, but the soldiers who saw the token at the west city gate the day before yesterday were not sure, so those poor soldiers became scapegoats.
This is the only way to resolve the case quickly at the moment.
People are cutters and slaves, and I am fish and meat. This is the truth.
Tang Chen, who understood what to do, turned around and left, leading his armored guards straight to the Shendu Army Yamen.
After Sang Luo watched Tang Chen go away, she turned around and returned to the inn, sitting opposite Tang Xiaohao.
Tang Xiaohao asked with a smile: "Why is my father here? Seeing that you are chatting so seriously, you must be talking about what happened in the past two days, right? Brother Luo, did my father say that he wanted to beat me to death?"
However, Sang Luo did not answer his words and said bluntly: "Who is the remaining beggar and what is his name? I am not interested, but I will help him get out of the city."
Sang Luo was basically saying that Tang Xiaohao knew where the last of the five beggars was.
Tang Xiaohao naturally continued to pretend to be stupid: "What about the beggar at the end?"
Sang Luo looked at Tang Xiaohao and said: "If you really didn't know, you should have a puzzled look on your face now instead of a playful smile, and you wouldn't ask me right away. Xiaohao, although you are smart, you have no experience. Since being smart will kill you
your."
Tang Xiaohao's smile became very embarrassed, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
Sang Luo said again: "I know you well. You have a purpose in everything you do. You pretend to be a disciple all day long just to prevent the Nanrong family from thinking you are a threat. So, you brought people here yesterday.
You must be playing the marriage game for the beggar I killed, but you didn’t know he would turn into Guijia, and I believe even the beggar leader you were hiding didn’t know.”
Tang Xiaohao poured a cup of tea for Sanglu and took the opportunity to whisper: "What does the great counselor mean? That's it for now, don't talk in circles."
Sang Luo said: "The case is over. If you want to rot in your stomach, don't tell anyone. Let him hide first. In a few days, I will find a way to send him out of the city. If anything goes wrong in the past few days, you will suffer the consequences."
You have to bear it yourself. Anyway, I have already thought of another explanation. Do I understand it?"
Tang Xiaohao nodded: "I understand."
Sang Luo asked again: "Then do you understand?"
Tang Xiaohao forced a smile: "I understand, too."
Sang Luo smiled: "Master Tang should go and accompany the frightened girl Hanshuang, waiting for the inn to be unblocked."
At this time, Sang Luo is completely different from before. When to say something, what tone to use, and what kind of tone can make the other party understand the priorities. Sang Luo knows it very accurately, and can immediately become another person after speaking.
His appearance is as if he carries countless masks with him and changes them at any time.
This kind of person is so terrible.
After Sang Luo left, Tang Xiaohao returned to his usual expression. His previous giggles, embarrassment, and even fear were all disguised according to the rhythm of Sang Luo's tone and the content of his words.
Tang Xiaohao never thought that he could hide it from Sang Luo. He was also waiting for Sang Luo to tell him directly. As long as Sang Luo said it, he would give in. Since they gave him the chance to step down, he would quickly walk down.
In what Sang Luo said earlier, the sentence "It's just that you didn't know that he would become Guijia. I believe that even the beggar leader you hid didn't know." It was equivalent to telling Tang Xiaohao the truth about the matter. It was like not caring.
Neither Tang Chen nor Sang Luo deliberately analyzed what Xiao Xuan went through between the time he escaped the night before and when he was taken to the Sihai Inn yesterday.
The two disciples holding Nanrong's Duanjinmen are Guijia. This is already the answer, but this answer cannot be pursued further.
To sum up, Sang Luo has good intentions, not only for Tang Xiaohao, but also for the overall situation.
——
Tang Chen led a large number of armored guards to the Shendu Military Yamen and walked in alone. When he was almost in front of the lobby, Mu Yinghao stepped forward to greet him. Just as he was about to salute, Tang Chen held him in his arms.
Tang Chen said: "General Mu, there are only two of us here. The situation is urgent, so I won't go around in circles. The emperor sent me to investigate the Guijia case at Sihai Inn, and I have already investigated it clearly."
Mu Yinghao pretended to be calm: "Oh? What's going on?"
Tang Chen said: "Guijia did sneak into the city, the two disciples of Duanjinmen. What they came to do in the city is impossible to know because they are dead, but I can be sure that the south held by these two people
The tokens of the Rong family were forged, and as for the five beggars, it was also found out that they were disciples of the Beggar Clan. They came here to track down Guijia, and they did not know that those two people were pretending to be retainers of the Nanrong family."
Mu Yinghao smiled: "Just like you don't know about the fake armored cavalry captain."
Tang Chen knew the meaning of Mu Yinghao's words and nodded: "Yes, the same."
Mu Yinghao said: "Then the case is settled."
Tang Chen said: "Yes, it's settled here, but someone will have to take responsibility for this matter."
Mu Yinghao nodded slightly: "General Tang clearly understands everything. Who does he think should be responsible?"
Tang Chen said: "Whoever let those two Guijia into the city should be held responsible. Although the sentry guard is dead, there were three groups of Shendu Army soldiers who saw the fake tokens with their own eyes the day before yesterday."
According to the military system of the Dachang Dynasty, there are five people in a team, ten people in a mound, fifteen people in a team, forty-five people in a sentry, two hundred and twenty-five people in a flag, a thousand people in a general flag, the general flag is also called a camp flag, and five thousand people in a group.
The camp flag and the tens of thousands of people are called the army.
In other words, all the forty-five soldiers who guarded the west city gate the day before yesterday had to die.
Although Mu Yinghao was not as fond of soldiers as Tang Chen, the Shendu Army was brought by him from the Nanrong family and trained by himself. They are all brothers who share life and death.
Mu Yinghao gritted his teeth and said, "General, that's forty-five lives."
Tang Chen said: "My son is also involved. I will report it truthfully and ask the emperor to punish him."
Tang Xiaohao has always been nominally the grandson of Nanrong Qufeng, and is about to marry Princess Baomeng of the Harcha Tribe of Rouyuan City. Therefore, even if Tang Chen does come forward, he will just be reprimanded. Mu Yinghao will
Therefore, offending Tang Chen will also make the master Nanrong Qufeng lose face in the court.
Mu Yinghao could only clasp his fists and say: "Young Master Tang has nothing to do with this matter. This subordinate knows what to do."
Just as Mu Yinghao was about to leave, Tang Chen said again: "I have prepared some money and food. You can give it to the family of the sentry soldier for me."
Mu Yinghao said again: "No need, I understand."
Just as Mu Yinghao was about to leave, Tang Chen said again: "I'll go with you."
Mu Yinghao was furious: "General, do you still want to personally supervise the execution? I don't think this is necessary?"
Tang Chen's next words extinguished Mu Yinghao's anger: "You misunderstood. I just want those soldiers who died in vain to remember my face so that they can seek revenge from me in the next life."
After hearing this, Mu Yinghao said nothing, took off his sword, held it in his hand, and strode towards the outside of the Yamen.
That evening, in the west camp of the Shendu Army, the forty-five soldiers took off their armor and knelt down to face the sunset. However, no one cried, and no one begged for mercy or complained. These people, like the sentry, knew exactly who they were.
.
However, they actually don't know what they are.
Are they humans? However, Mu Yinghao, Tang Chen and the others are also humans. Why are they kneeling here waiting to die?
Tang Chen personally served the wine and fed it to the soldiers. Then he stood in front of them and said, "Everyone, remember Tang Chen's face. If there is an afterlife, remember to seek revenge from me."
Mu Yinghao stood behind the soldiers, looked at Tang Chen, and said loudly: "Brothers, I, Mu Yinghao, am incompetent and cannot die on the battlefield with you. I will take care of your families. Please feel free to go on your way!"
After finishing speaking, a soldier suddenly shouted: "Nanrong is prosperous, and its ambition is thousands of miles!"
Then, the rest of the soldiers also chanted the Nanrong family's eight-character family motto, and in the chorus of shouts, their heads fell to the ground.
Hearing the soldiers' dying cries, Tang Chen broke into a cold sweat. He subconsciously looked at Mu Yinghao and found that Mu Yinghao was also looking at him, but his eyes were full of resentment.
Tang Chen never expected that even if these soldiers were dying, they would not forget their identity as Nanrong family members.
Once upon a time, the Nanrong family also wanted to dominate Jiuyuan. The family motto of the Nanrong family at that time was - Nanrong is prosperous and prosperous, and its ambition is in Jiuyuan.
No matter how big Jiuyuan is, it only spans ten thousand miles. Replacing Jiuyuan in those eight characters with Wanli is just changing the soup without changing the medicine.
Nanrong Qufeng’s heart is known to everyone on the road. This chapter has been completed!
