The deceased person actually said goodbye to them and set an invitation to meet in the future Who would have thought that they had just said goodbye, and agreed that after Brother Zhao sent the tribute safely to the capital, they would invite them to drink, and in the blink of an eye, they said goodbye with such a tragic ending.
The back hall of the yamen was connected to the post station, and after they delivered the tribute to the post station, they were ready to wait for the person in charge to take over.
Originally, it was supposed to be over here.
But what I never expected was that this was the beginning of bad luck.
"The accompanying Ryukyu envoys were all killed in the post station, and Brother Zhao and the others died in the place where the post station was connected to the back hall, which was originally the place where Lord Xu arranged for them to rest temporarily, they may have been waiting here to hand over to someone and hand over the tribute to be delivered, but then they were killed at this time."
After inspecting the scene, Yin Yulin determined the general situation.
The post station and the back hall are separated by a wall, seemingly "After the inquest, it can be confirmed that the first to be killed were Zhao Liang and others called Brother Zhao in Yulin, a total of thirteen corpses in the post station and the back hall, seven in the back hall, Zhao Liang and the other corpse were all killed by a knife, a little earlier, and the other five corpses showed different degrees of fighting injuries on their bodies, which should have been left by fierce fighting with the gangsters.
However, they are obviously very different from the gangsters, even if they resist fiercely, they are all six corpses, and they are the people sent by the Ryukyus to transport tribute, and they do not leave much resistance damage on their bodies, so they should be the last to be killed.
Chen Ziyou and the Jin Zhi brothers and sisters happened to walk in and told everyone the conclusion that they had carefully discussed after examining the body.
"Could it be that these gangsters are here for tribute" Song Lao Wu seemed to be panicked, and they seemed to be involved in a particularly difficult case again.
"Previously, when Zheng Yu and I met Brother Zhao, they were fighting with a group of bandits, with heavy casualties and almost robbed of tribute.
That's why Zheng Yu and I helped out, and I got acquainted with them.
Escorting them to the inn to settle down, Brother Zhao mentioned that night that he had told Lord Xu and asked Lord Xu to send someone to pick us up, and when we were about to leave this morning, the store told me that they had left.
It was said that earlier, the person sent by Lord Xu arrived, and because he couldn't bear to disturb our rest, he just left a message to the store, and said that he would come and invite us to drink when he sent the tribute to the capital and completed the task.
"Now, I'm afraid I won't be able to drink the wine invited by Brother Zhao anymore.
Brother Zhao himself didn't have a premonition that something was going to happen, leaving regrets.
"Do you notice what the tribute they are transporting" Chen Lao Er couldn't help but think more.
"It's brocade, cloth and the like.
A large box, sealed, but when they encountered the bandits fighting, the box was opened, and some cloth was indeed revealed.
Yin Yulin carefully described the scene he saw in a hurry and tried his best to describe it, "Brother Zhao also mentioned that in order to ensure that the tribute was safely transported to the capital, Taiwei Jiang would specially order them to be transported in batches, presumably in order to avoid people's eyes and ears, and quietly transport the tribute of the Ryukyuan people in the name of ordinary tribute.
But I can't figure it out if it is really as Lord Xu said, the elite is sent to escort it, but when Zheng Yu and I rescued each other, I found that many people, including Brother Zhao, were not very good at kung fu.
Brother Zhao did do an escort of tribute before, but this is the first time to take the lead in escorting, I really don't understand" If it is really like what Lord Xu said, all of them are escorted by elite divisions, in terms of Brother Zhao's martial arts, it is indeed much weaker.
They have suffered heavy losses against those ordinary bandits, not to mention, if they meet someone who is specially planning to rob the tribute, then it will be even more dangerous These people, no matter how you look at it, seem to have been put together on an improvised basis.
"If you say so, these people may not be the elites that Lord Xu thinks, but more like someone deliberately arranged them and replaced them with guards with lower capabilities."
Yu Ce immediately understood what Yin Yulin was thinking.
It was deliberately arranged.
"Then what is their purpose, is it to facilitate the robbery of bandits and bandits along the way" Yu Yu was deeply puzzled by this, "Yulin also said, the things in the box are just some soft and soft things.
Although the price is high, it is not an extremely valuable thing, and it can arouse the concern of the bandits, but " This makes people wonder what the purpose of Jiang Taiwei's arrangement is.
"In fact, this time, among the tributes paid by the Ryukyu Kingdom, there is a treasure, which is the most valuable, because the demon sword is unscrupulous."
Chen Lao Er thought that it was time to let them know that since Yulin and Zheng Yu had arrived, and there was an accident with the tribute, and Yulin was the one who had seen him in front of the attendant who escorted the tribute, their relationship with this case had begun.
"I think those thin softness are actually cover, and what is really coveted is the demon knife."
"Demon knife Wuji" everyone changed when they heard it.
"Exactly, this demon knife contains great anger, which has caused wars and disasters in the Ryukyus, and it is said that it can control people's minds and fight endlessly."
Chen Lao Er said.
"The Ryukyu Kingdom wants to pay tribute to Da Yu, so the gift list of tribute should not easily fall into the hands of anyone, especially on Da Yu's side, and only the envoy, Your Majesty, the people in the palace who are close to your Majesty, and Jiang Taiwei, who is responsible for arranging the escort, knows."
Yin Yulin said.
Chen Ziyou gradually reacted, "If it was Taiwei Jiang who was playing tricks from the beginning, deliberately making a god and distributing the people who transported the tribute, in this way, no one would know who was responsible for escorting what the tribute was, and the demon knife Wuji was hidden in the tribute that was escorted, I'm afraid the escort wouldn't know."
Then, if the rumors are released at the right time, as long as it is said that the tribute of the Ryukyu Kingdom has arrived, it will naturally attract the concern of the bandits, even if it is only a little soft.
Attracted the robbery of the bandits, and then quietly transferred the real demon knife, even if the demon knife suddenly disappeared after that, no one knew whose escort it was wrong, who snatched the demon knife. ” "Although it is a low-key escort, the service of the Ryukyuan people is different from ours, they do not change into low-key clothes to cover up, as long as they pass by the cottage, the sentry eyeliner will detect it, and they will remind the bandits in the mountains to make a move, which greatly attracts the target's attack."
Song Yuchen continued.
"What you said is reasonable, but now, the people who escorted this batch of tributes are dead, and the tributes they escorted to the capital are gone, and there is no way to prove whether the real demon sword will be in these tributes they escorted."
Chen Lao Er was still worried about the whereabouts of the demon knife, "But now, before the news spreads, find out the truth, find the murderer who killed the people who escorted the tribute, and find the lost tribute, otherwise, once the Ryukyuan people notice that the tribute is lost, their people will be killed, I'm afraid" It's going to be another war.
