Chapter 120

Wu Siyuan grabs the cup at the table and pours a mouthful of water: "will General, something's going on. Yan Yan was killed in Liangcheng. Now there are rumors outside that the general has sent someone to kill Yan'an in order to vent his personal anger. "

Murong Zhining frowned: "at this time, does anyone want to make trouble for the general?" Chiyun Yuexuan got up and said, "siyao, change clothes for general Ben. General Ben is going to see the emperor."

In the imperial study, Yan Feng turned his back to chiyun Yuexuan, and his face was frosty: "I also want to believe general chiyun, but at this time, even Yu Wei is in the prison of the Ministry of punishment. All the interested people are dead and shut down. Who do you think would take such a big risk to kill Yan? It's not necessary. "

Chiyun Yuexuan thought for a while and said: "the emperor will think about it again. There must be someone who has a great relationship, but he is not clear yet."

Yan Feng turned around and was still angry: "you promised me that you would make the case an iron case, general chiyun. But now that Yu Wei doesn't even have a statement. Yan Yan is the only insider, but was killed at this time. It's no wonder that others will doubt you. You always owe some rules when you do things. I would also like to believe you, but there are too many cases of lynching in the past, and I can't always bear it for you. Alas, in fact, this pot is not carried by the general, but also by me! "

Chiu Yun Yuexuan said: "the end will understand in his heart that the emperor believes in the end. This case will be supervised by the end, and it will be found out by the end. Finally, there will be a feeling that the death of Yan Yan may not be related to this case. At last, he will go to Liangcheng in person to find out the cause of Yan Yan's death. At least he is also the emperor's father The son of the emperor. By the way, the emperor is OK. Go to the emperor and comfort him. His heart is softer than anyone! "

Yan Feng nodded his head: "don't worry, general. I want to hide it from the emperor's father again. He's been worrying about your affairs recently, and his health is not as good as before. You should make clear about the five sages first. "

Chiyun Yuexuan returns to the general's mansion and pulls Murong Zhining to the room. He kissed Murong Zhining gently: "Xianggong is reluctant to separate from Ning'er for a minute, but Xianggong has important things to do. Ning'er stays in the general's mansion and waits for his father-in-law. He will go to Liangcheng to investigate the case of Yanchang being killed. Xianggong is expected to go for about ten days. Xianggong always thinks about his wife. "

Murong Zhi nodded: "don't worry, general. Ning'er will wait for the general to come back. Be sure to pay attention to safety and don't let Ning'er worry. The general's life is congealing. " She returned to chiyun Yuexuan and kissed him. She sent him to the gate of the general's mansion and watched him and Du Youtian ride away.

Chiyun Yuexuan and Du Youtian rush to Liangcheng, which is a remote town and very desolate. As the saying goes, poor people come out of bad water. Here we can see prisoners with prison words stabbed on their faces. Driven by the officers, they are doing the hardest work. Along the way, several fierce men stopped the horse that chided yunyuexuan and tried to extort money from him, but he beat them to pieces.

Chiyun Yuexuan shook his head at once and said: "this ghost place is really suffering from the burning. He grew up in the capital, where he was well-off, how could he survive? If people are satisfied, they will live an ideal life. However, there are such greedy people who can live better than others without paying. They are still dissatisfied and want to be the son of God. We have to get to the end of our lives. We have to die. "

Du Youtian said: "there are not many people who are as capable as generals but do not fight. It's very lucky for my sister to meet the general. "

Chiyun Yuexuan sighed: "I'm ashamed! In the past, Ning'er suffered a lot. General Ben now remembers the mistakes he made before, and he still feels sad for a while. If Ning'er had not met this general, she would have been the queen of Hua Yan now. Can you say that she was lucky to meet this general? "

Du Youtian said: "my sister resolutely chose to be with the general, which must have been considered. The general doesn't have to be ashamed of his younger sister, just be more kind to her, and don't let her regret having been with the wrong person. My sister has been very clever and sensible since childhood. She knows that it's not easy to depend on others. She always tries to do the dirtiest and most tired work in the family. When eating, I never dare to pick up the dishes I like. It's only when my mother puts them in her bowl that she dares to eat them. Because our family was poor and she was thin, she could only pick up her sister's small old clothes. Even if life is hard, she gives our family the most brilliant smile every day. Less than a year after she was in my house, she was abducted to Shangjing by my uncle. This trip, however, changed her fate. Otherwise, she might be a village woman in hetang'ao for a lifetime. The fate of a man does not mean that he is bad, that he is well off, or that he can be stable. "

Chiyun Yuexuan's eyes were slightly red: "Ning'er's fate seemed to follow Biwu. In the dark, Biwu tied her to our general."

Du Youtian wondered, "does the general mean that jade leaf on her body?" That year, there was a debt collector at home. She took out the leaf to pay for her mother's debt, but her mother didn't dare to ask for it. It seems to be a real blessing. "

As they were talking, another big man with a tattoo on his face stopped them. The man was big and rough, with rough faces and bulging muscles. He took a short iron bar with a sharpened end in his hand and kept knocking on his left hand: "Yo, this little lady is so handsome. I'm short of silver. I like your horse. Do you want to leave people or horses? Or Stay together? "Chiyun Yuexuan immediately disdained to laugh and said: "I am your grandfather, call Grandpa, and forgive your incoherence just now. Otherwise, Grandpa will make you cry and cry

Seeing that chiyun Yuexuan was unwilling to compromise, the big man rushed over with an iron bar. He took the iron bar in turn and pulled it away from the lightning's front leg. Chiyun Yuexuan grabbed the lightning with his legs and pulled the reins. The lightning's forelegs soared and the horse's hoof just kicked the big man's arm with the stick.

The big man grinned a few steps back and stood still, swearing: "this damn beast, I will not kill you."

Chiyun Yuexuan jumped off the horse, rushed up with a lunge, clamped the big man's head with his elbow, snatched his iron bar with empty hands, and threw it into the distance. Chiyun Yuexuan said: "look at your muscle. It's strong. Grandpa hasn't fought with anyone for a long time. It's itchy."

The big man spat on the ground: "I, Shi Yong, don't beat women. Just now I was unprepared. I was kicked by the beast and hurt my hand. Then I was robbed of my weapon by you. It's bullying you to fight with you empty handed. I won't do it. "

Chiu Yun Yuexuan said angrily, "blind your dog eyes, I am a pure man. I have silver in my bag. It's all yours to win. " Du Youtian is afraid to scold yunyuexuan and make trouble again. He immediately urges: "general, you are here to do business, not fight with others. Let's go."

Shi Yong tilted his mouth and said, "Oh, who dares to be a general? I don't want to beat you, general. " He rushed forward with a fist in his hand. Chiyun Yuexuan dodges. When he can't hold back his strength, Shi Yong jumps forward.

Seeing that he was about to fall into shit, Shi Yong put his hands on the ground and lifted his feet back. Chiyun Yuexuan was caught off guard and kicked back two steps.

Chiyun Yuexuan suffered losses and rushed forward to fight with Shi Yong. Shi Yong has two hands. After several moves with chiyun Yuexuan, he is knocked to the ground.

Shi Yong gets up, spits out a mouthful of blood and wipes the blood on the corner of his mouth with his sleeve: "little lady, I'm really lucky. If I had not lost my soul, I would have been a general. "

Chiyun Yuexuan took out fifty Liang silver from the package and threw it to him: "this is what you just won by kicking Grandpa. With this skill, what can you do? Do you want to be a robber who blocks the way? "

Chiyun Yuexuan got on the horse, and Du Youtian went on, asked several passers-by, and finally found the dilapidated Liangcheng County Government. A small official of the county government, respectfully led chiyun Yuexuan into the room where the corpse of Yan'an was parked.

Chiyun Yuexuan uncovers the white cloth on Yan Yan's body. Yan Yan's eyes are wide open, which seems to be very painful or unwilling to die. On Yan's face, in addition to a prisoner's character on the left, a criminal character on the right, and a criminal character on his forehead.

The little official arched his hand and said, "I don't know the origin of the fire? When I was sent to this cold city, I always had high toes and high Qi. My eyes grew on my head. The person who sent him told the villain not to let him do heavy work, and the villain asked him to do errands in the county government. But he didn't work hard, and he was in trouble. He was beaten several times. But the villain really doesn't understand. Who has to take his life? "

Chiyun Yuexuan asked, "I heard that he only had two words stabbed on his face. Now how can he have three words on his face?"

The little official pondered for a moment and said: "the little man also thought it strange that when he came, there were only two words on his face: prisoner. Ten days ago, he disappeared for five days. When he escaped back, he was very embarrassed. He was stabbed in the forehead again. He hid in panic for five days and disappeared again. When we found him, he had been killed. "

Chiyun Yuexuan opens his burning clothes and looks at the scars on the surface of his body. Although it is late autumn and the weather is not hot, the body has been for three days and the smell is very strong. Chiu Yun Yuexuan asked Xiao Li, "have you checked? What is the cause of death?

"General, you can see that our county yamen has become so dilapidated. The money allocated by the court was not enough to spend. No one was willing to live here. Zhuzuo had already changed his career to become a butcher. It's true that no one had an autopsy. If the county Lord hadn't heard of his special identity, he would have been thrown to the mass grave. "

Chiyun Yuexuan frowned, took out a handkerchief from her arms, covered her mouth and nose, and examined it carefully. Yan's mouth was filled with mud, and his ankle was tied with a small wooden card with a hemp rope, on which he drew a symbol that he could not understand. His hair was scorched by the fire. There was a clear dry water stain on his close fitting white clothes.

Du Youtian looked at chiyun Yuexuan doubtfully: "the general thought, how did he die? My subordinates have never seen this kind of death. How much does the murderer hate him and deal with him in so many ways? "

Chiyun Yuexuan saw Yan Yan's face was black. He took out a silver needle and stabbed it in his throat and chest several times. He nodded his head.

Chiyun Yuexuan quit the room and handed the clerk a five hundred Liang silver note: "you can find a pen and paper to record and make a file. Although he went through all kinds of torture before he died, he died of poisoning. The stabbing on his face before he died should also be recorded. Besides, the body can't be left. You arrange someone to cremate his body. The ashes will be taken back to Beijing by general Ben. You arrange a place for general Ben. He wants to stay and investigate the cause of his death. "

Chiyun Yuexuan sat at the table in the post house, frowning and thinking. Du Youtian handed over a cup of tea: "I also feel very puzzled. Who has such a deep hatred with this inflamed girl? Before you kill him, you want to stab him in the face? Isn't that to add to the cake? "Chiyun Yuexuan nodded his head: "maybe that man didn't want his life at first, just wanted to stab a word on his face to vent his private anger. By the way, Yan Yan has a concubine who is sent here with him. I have to ask that woman tomorrow. She should be the only one who knows her. I will take her back to Shangjing as a witness of Yu Wei's case. "
