Chapter 460

According to the Madam Junchunlou and others, the group of people who attacked Yun Lang were very young, all of whom were over 10 or 20 years old, and they were very capable in their movements, unified in their actions, and advanced and retreated in moderation, very much like soldiers in the army.

So Ma Du and Niu Dahai analyzed that Yun Leng's beating and false accusation must be related to their investigation into the murder of Governor Xue's concubine. It took only a few hours from the start of investigation to the beating. If these people were from the army, they should be the Beijing camp soldiers in the capital or the nearby guards.

The Beijing camp soldiers in the capital were the Twenty-Two Guards of Shangzhi (including the Jinyi Guards), and were personally led by the emperor. In addition, they were the Beijing Guards and the Outer Guards under the jurisdiction of the Five Army Governors Office. The Outer Guards were too far away and it was impossible to be mobilized, so the focus of the investigation was on the Twenty-Two Guards of Shangzhi and the Beijing Guards of the Five Army Governors Office.

The Jinyiwei also had many spies in the army, and the news was quickly fed back. If it were people from the army, more than 100 people were dispatched at once, and the scale was still quite large, so there should be some movement. Unexpectedly, all the feedback was that the guards did not find that so many people had dispatched that night. According to the news received, it is certain that these people were not from the Beijing Guard troops.

After hearing the two people's investigation results, Yang Qiuchi was very surprised. Did these hundred young people fall from the sky? Could it be that Ji Gang mobilized the troops from the local garrison? If this is the case, it means that Ji Gang had already had a conspiracy to attack Yun Lang.

There were about 2 million troops in the Ming Dynasty, and it was impossible to find out that these 100 people were found. Yang Qiuchi had no choice but to instruct them to expand the scope of investigation and investigate some military craftsmen's workshops that used young people on a large scale, as well as the Ministry of Works and other yamen that had civilians and bravery, and nearby prefectures and counties.

After the arrangement was completed, Yang Qiuchi was free of time to look back at the murder of Governor Xue's concubine. He needed to verify whether Lin Yuan was the murderer who raped Governor Xue's concubine.

He extracted Lin Yuan's blood sample for examination, and the result was very surprising. Lin Yuan's blood sample was not type A. Since the semen extracted at the scene of the murder was type A blood, this ruled out that Lin Yuan was the suspect of raping and killing Xu Lingzi. No wonder Ji Gang handed Lin Yuan to Yang Qiuchi with confidence. It turned out that he had known for a long time that Lin Yuan was not the murderer at all.

Ji Gang knew that the emperor had asked him to cut off Lin Yuan's head and settle the case, and knew that Lin Yuan was not the murderer at all, but still handed him over to him. Obviously, it was not out of his consideration of finding out the truth and giving Lin Yuan a clean innocence, but hoped that he could kill Lin Yuan according to the emperor's wishes, settle the case, and throw away his pawns and protect the car.

However, Yang Qiuchi would not kill anyone by mistake when he returned to the bridge. He ordered Lin Yuan to be released in court, but he told him that he would not leave the capital before the case was solved and he should be there as soon as possible.

When Ji Gang handed Lin Yuan to Yang Qiuchi, he had already told him that the emperor wanted Yang Qiuchi to kill him to close the case. In order to show Ji Gang's kindness to his subordinates, he also told him to let him rest assured to go on the road, and Ji Gang would bury him. So Lin Yuan knew that he was dead. Now, he heard Yang Qiuchi release him and escape from death. He couldn't help but feel ecstatic and kowtowed to Yang Qiuchi repeatedly: "The marquis's grace of life will never be forgotten by his subordinates..."

The murder of Governor Xue's concubine was broken, which made Yang Qiuchi very depressed and too lazy to pay attention to Lin Yuan, so he waved his hand to let him go. Lin Yuan walked to the door, lowered his head and thought for a while, then turned around and walked back. He said to Yang Qiuchi: "I have something to talk to the Marquis."

Yang Qiuchi said: "What's the matter? After that."

Lin Yuanvisited the lobby with only three guards, including Song Yuner and Nangong Xiong. He knew that these were Yang Qiuchi's confidants, so he leaned over and whispered: "I know who the people who attacked Yun Lang that night."

Yang Qiuchi said in surprise: "Really? Who are they?"

"It is the second prince's personal soldiers who guard the locals of Tiance."

Yang Qiuchi shook his head: "No, we have checked the 22 guards in the Shangzhi period, including the Tiance guard. I'm sure it's not."

Lin Yuan thought for a while, gritted his teeth and lowered his voice: "The second prince has expanded the Tiance Guard and recruited many new people. These people are not in the Tiance Guard Camp of the Han Palace."

"Oh?" Yang Qiuchi was shocked and stared at Lin Yuan, "Where is that?"

"In the Xingziao Mountain nest, thirty miles outside the East City." Lin Yuan's face turned pale with his sword, "I was with the team to protect Commander Ji not long ago... Ji Gang had been there, so I knew. I recognized some of them that night."

Yang Qiuchi stared at Lin Yuan and said, "Why do you want to tell me these?"

Lin Yuan said hatefully: "Ji Gang knew that Governor Xue was not my beloved concubine, but he still handed me over and asked me to die. I sacrificed my life to follow him! Mr. Yang enforced the law impartially and returned my innocence. I told this and repayed the Marquis' great kindness. Anyway, I was alone and there was no burden, so I would go away from now on."

Lin Yuan already knew the consequences of telling this big secret, but Yang Qiuchi did not kill him with the emperor's instructions, which made him cry. He was also a bloody man, and he was grateful to him. This time he escaped from death, allowing him to see through Ji Gang's indifference and falseness and decided to leave. Before leaving, he thought about it for a while, but decided to tell the secret.

Yang Qiuchi ordered Nangong Xiong to take 100 taels of silver from the yamen tent and give it to Lin Yuan, and then bring him clothes. After Lin Yuan disguised himself, he thanked Yang Qiuchi for his gratitude and left the capital.

Song Yuner said: "Brother, the emperor ordered you to kill Lin Yuan, and give Governor Xue an explanation to settle the case. Now that you have let him go, how can you explain to the emperor?"

Yang Qiuchi said: I will not kill innocent people. At least the evidence cannot prove that he killed someone and violated the law of the king. If I kill innocent people indiscriminately, what is the difference between me and Ji Gang Dog Thief? As for the emperor, I will say that. The emperor asked me to kill Lin Yuan because I told the emperor that Lin Yuan had a major criminal suspect. Now that the suspect is ruled out, of course, he cannot kill him randomly. The emperor should understand it. We should better catch the real murderer before the emperor asks about this matter."

Song Yuner asked, "Brother, is this thing Lin Yuan said just now a lie?"

"I don't think he is lying. Besides, I've released him and he's gone. What's the reason to make up this story to lie to me? He doesn't know that I'll give him a hundred taels of silver."

"Maybe Ji Gang was ambushing in Xingziao, so that Lin Yuan could lead us there!"

"It's unlikely. The emperor has made it clear that I will fight with him again. He came to see him, and Jun Wu joked. No matter how brave Ji Gang is, it's possible that I'll be assassinated, but he still dared not send troops to meet us openly. However, be careful that the ship will last for ten thousand years, let's send spies to check first. Make sure if it's true."

Yang Qiuchi called Yun Leng, told him about the matter, and instructed him to send a team of spies to Xingziao outside the capital for reconnaissance.

After Yun was stunned, Song Yuner asked, "Brother, the second prince's Tiance Guard has more than 5,000 people. It's more than enough to protect his Han Prince's Mansion. He has recruited so many people to hide in the valley and why did he do secretly training? Could he think..." Song Yuner's lips moved twice. Although she didn't make a pronunciation, based on the movements of her lips, she could guess that the next two words were - Rebellion.

Yang Qiuchi smiled and nodded: "Since last night he threatened me that after he had that, he would be the first to destroy my nine clans. Judging from his arrogant attitude, it is very possible. Otherwise, why would he secretly train this army?"

Song Yuner thought for a while and said, "You said, will Ji Gang be involved in it too?"

"Lin Yuan had already said that the reason why he knew about this was that he followed the team to protect Ji Gang and followed the second prince Zhu Gaoxu there. So it was obvious that Ji Gang also had a part in this matter. Hehe, they colluded with each other. One nostrils vented his anger. This kind of thing would not be fun if Ji Gang was missing."

Song Yuner said: "That's good! If we catch Ji Gang's painful foot, we can sue him for rebellion and destroy his nine clans!"

Yang Qiuchi shook his head: "We must first wait for the result of Yun Leng's investigation. The second prince's expansion of Tiance Guard's secret training alone is at most he privately expands his army. From this, he concluded that the second prince's rebellion is a bit reluctant, and it is not convincing enough. He cannot defeat the enemy in one move."

"Ah? What should I do?" Song Yuner frowned.

"We must continue to investigate and obtain comprehensive evidence of their rebellion. The emperor has already made it clear that I am not allowed to investigate Ji Gang. Only by obtaining the real evidence of their rebellion can we sue him! Therefore, if we don't move, we have to take his seven inches and completely knock him over! There is only one chance, but it won't be reported. We will be in great trouble."

Song Yuner thought for a while and said, "How about we report it through others, such as telling the prince, and asking him to tell the emperor. Is that okay?"

Yang Qiuchi shook his head: "I have thought of this method for a long time, but it doesn't work. First of all, this kind of head-losing top secret matter, of course, one person knows more security. Once the news is revealed, Zhu Gaoxu, Ji Gang and others will definitely take risks, which is dangerous; second, the prince is generous and kind. Although the second prince and the third prince spy on his position as the prince, he has tried to seize it several times, the third prince even directly assassinated the emperor and attempted to rebel. The prince not only did not take the opportunity to get rid of them, but instead pleaded for them. It can be seen that the prince attaches great importance to their brotherhood. If he told the prince, it is difficult to guarantee that he would not cause trouble."

Song Yuner said: "Yes, I think the prince is also indecisive. I'm afraid he is not competent in suppressing rebellion. So, let's ask someone else to tell the emperor, such as Eunuch Li."

Yang Qiuchi shook his head and said, "There is a truth that no matter who we look for, the news may be leaked. Moreover, if our evidence is enough to overthrow Ji Gang and others, we will directly tell the emperor and tell others through others, and the result will be the same. If our evidence is not enough to overthrow them, even if we tell the emperor through others, the emperor will still track down and find out what is on our heads. After all, this is a major event involving rebellion and will definitely be investigated to the end."

After all, I can only wait and talk about this.

Now the clues of Governor Xue’s concubine’s murder case were cut off and it was impossible to investigate. Yang Qiuchi remembered that the Xunfu Prime Minister of Yingtian Prefecture said that the selection of women in the past two days was to find a woman for the emperor, so he could not delay it, so he brought Song Yuner and the guards to Yingtian Prefecture.

In the Yingtian Prefecture yamen, Dong Fucheng was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. The decree was to report the girl to the show today. The six hundred girls had already been selected and sent to the yamen. Yang Qiuchi had not shown up and went to the house to invite her, saying that she had gone to the Nanzhen Fusiya Office. Dong Fucheng did not dare to send someone to the Jinyiwei to urge Yang Qiuchi to choose a woman. She could only wait in the yard and prayed that Yang Qiuchi would come to work in the yamen early.

Now that he finally saw Yang Qiuchi coming, Dong Fucheng was overjoyed and greeted him: "Sir, you are here. This beautiful girl is going to report to you today. If you are late, we will be in trouble."

Yang Qiuchi smiled and said, "Hi. Isn't it just picking women? It's very simple. If you ask them to come to the party in one group and have a sword, you can make the decision on the spot in the lobby."

"Yes, but the identity, origin and family history of these beautiful girls are innocent.

■■■, whether there are diseases or the number of people, adults must also check it out."

Yang Qiuchi glanced at the edge of the warm room in the lobby and saw the beautiful female archives piled up like hills, and his head was wide: "Have you seen those?"

"I have seen it. I have seen it. In the past few days, all the Wenpo and doctors in Yingtian Mansion have organized physical examinations for the girls. They are not yellow flowers, sick, and those who do not meet the requirements will be beaten back and let them change again. These days, they have been busy with this matter day and night. Now these six hundred women are all yellow flowers, and they have no illness and abolished their illnesses. The family history is innocent, and they are all guaranteed by the local government."

Yang Qiuchi nodded, then turned to ask Master Long who stayed in the yamen to manage administrative affairs: "Have you seen it?"

Master Long said: "I have carefully examined them all. Now these six hundred people meet the requirements of selecting girls."

"Okay, you two have reviewed it, so I won't look at it. Anyway, the three of us are grasshoppers on the same line. If there is a mistake in the review, I can't escape, and you two can't escape, haha."

The two of them hurriedly bowed and laughed, saying that they did not dare to neglect them.

Yang Qiuchi went to the warm room in the lobby, and a slap in the auspicious wood: "Take a beautiful girl to the hall!"

There are ten people in groups. Since ancient times, there have been beauties in Jiangnan, and there are even more beautiful women in the capital. The 600 candidates selected are all in their prime, with beautiful facial features, just like water lotus flowers.

Yang Qiuchi was so happy that he was like he was back when he was choosing a drink girl in a nightclub in his previous life. Song ■er also knew that he was addicted to work. He was not jealous. He smiled and looked at him up and down, left and right to study and look at each woman's face and figure without interfering.

Yang Qiuchi's selection was very detailed and asked from time to time. Before he knew it, noon had passed, and he had only half of it, and he was a little anxious. After a hurry to have lunch, he sent Song Yuner to call Liu Ruobing to help him choose.

With the help of Liu Ruobing and Song Yuner, it was soon enough that he finally selected 300 beautiful girls from 600 people before getting off work. He ordered the Xunfu Prime Minister to lead the 300 beautiful girls, together with their personal archives, to send them to Ji Gang. He made the final selection and then sent them to the palace.

After arranging someone to send away the three hundred beauties and send the other unselected women home, the draft scholar was finished.

Song Yuner laughed: "Brother, how do you feel when you chose a beauty this day?"

Yang Qiuchi rubbed his eyes: "I thought it was a very pleasant thing to choose a woman. I didn't expect that women would be a little dazzled after seeing too many of them, and they didn't dare to make a decision at will. Fortunately, Binger and ■er, you two, would help me, otherwise, I wouldn't be able to handle it. If it was not done well after the deadline, Ji Gang would have a little braid to catch me again."

Liu Ruobing also smiled: "There are really many beauties in our capital. This time, there are two very beautiful places in the part that Yun'er and I selected, which can be called beautiful and beautiful, and beautiful."

Oh? Yang Qiuchi opened his eyes wide: "It must be so beautiful that I can praise Bing'er. Why don't you two ask me to take a look? What a pity."

Song Yuner looked stern: "What a pity? You are not satisfied with my sister and Hong Ling, who are so beautiful that even the emperor is attracted to?"

"I...I don't mean that..." Yang Qiuchi smiled embarrassedly. "Hmph! I knew you would be tempted, so when my sister asked me to call you to come, I didn't call me."

"Ah?" Yang Qiuchi glared, "Your sister, don't worry, I'll let me see, why are you..." Yang Qiuchi saw Song Yuner staring at her with wide eyes, and hurriedly changed her mouth and said, "I just want to see it for a long time."

Liu Ruobing said, "Yun'er, don't tease him anymore. He has said that with seven of us and sons, I will never take concubines in the future. I believe he is a person who believes in his words. Therefore, when he sees other beauties, he will be happy to feast his eyes. Don't take it seriously."

Yang Qiuchi smiled and said, "It's exactly! Bing'er understands me. I have seven beauties like flowers and jade, especially my Bing'er and Hong Ling. That's really a charming look. With a son, I'm already very satisfied. Haha..."

Song Yuner said angrily: "It would be great if this is the case! I'm afraid that you will get weak again when you see the beauty."

"Look at what you said." Yang Qiuchi said embarrassedly, "How could it be?"

The next morning, Yang Qiuchi came to the Nanzhen Fushi and handled some daily tasks. At this time, Yun Leng brought a few people in, all of whom were full of excitement.

When Yang Qiuchi saw their expressions, he immediately knew that the investigation results must have been discovered. He was overjoyed and hurriedly retreated.

Yun Leng bowed and said, "Marty, I took these spies and disguised as woodcutters and searched in the Xingziao Valley 30 miles from the East City. Sure enough, I found a hidden military camp, with about 10,000 people in it, and I was practicing. Because I couldn't see clearly from a distance and didn't dare to get close, I don't know if there were more than 100 people who attacked us that night."

"That's great!" Yang Qiuchi slapped his thighs, stood up excitedly, walked back and forth a few times, and said to the spies, "You have done a good job, each of them will be rewarded with 10 taels of silver. Go to the tent to get it."
