Speaking of this, Steward Liu sighed lightly and said a little sourly: "In the future, I'm afraid Ah Lang won't be so strict." ” He waved his hand excitedly and said, "You go, stay in the side yard, don't walk around." ” "Yes, then Steward Liu is busy, and the little one is going back."
Yang Fan smiled respectfully and turned to go.
"Zhou Xing" Yang Fan walked all the way, thinking about this person all the way, and after a little analysis, he shook his head and denied the possibility that Zhou Xing might have something to do with him.
In the second year of Yongchun, when the Shaozhou bloody case, Zhou Xing was only a county order in the northern region, until recent years, the authority of the Empress Wu became heavier and heavier, and it was expected to change Li Tang's life.
The incident that happened back then could not have been implicated with Zhou Xing, Zhou Xing is now a waiter in the Criminal Department, the de facto number one, whether it is from the perspective of caring for his subordinates, or from the perspective of God having such a major case, it is normal for him to personally inquire about the affairs of his subordinates.
He has already inquired that although Cai Dongcheng today is a general of Zuo Fengchenwei, a prominent general, and holds great power, he was a brigade commander of Long Wuwei back then, and this person is the specific implementer of the Shaozhou bloody case. injured a Yang Mingsheng and brought out a Cai Dongcheng, but Cai Dongcheng is also a pawn.
The culprit behind the scenes still hasn't appeared.
It seems that if you want him to show up, you have to eat Cai Dongcheng and the four big King Kongs under him before you can force the leaders behind the scenes to appear Yang Fan thought all the way and returned to the side courtyard.
That day, Yang Mingsheng blurted out a name: Helan Minzhi.
Yang Fan has already inquired, this Helan Minzhi is Wu Zetian's nephew, his mother is Wu Zetian's sister, and she was also favored by Gaozong Li Zhi and was named Mrs.
Korea, and his sister Helan was also favored by Li Zhi and was named Mrs.
Wei.
And Helan Minzhi himself, after Wu Zetian exiled his two brothers, changed his surname to Wu, and succeeded him as the heir of Wu Zetian's father Wu Shitong, and was named the Duke of Zhou, which can be described as extremely rich.
However, Wu Zetian later made He Lanmin reconcile with his maternal grandmother Yang, embezzled public funds to enrich his own pockets, and the crown princess Yang who had been selected by the crown prince Li Xian, so that he changed his original surname back to Lingnan, and on the way, He Lanmin hanged himself with the reins of a horse.
This is the legendary life of Helan Min.
Yang Fan couldn't think of any connection between this Helan Minzhi and the small village in Shaozhou.
He Lanminzhi is said to be dissolute and lustful, but this person is handsome and handsome, talented, and erudite, coupled with his illustrious family background and identity, so he has many friends in the government and the opposition, and these people were later implicated by him and were demoted to official positions.
Yang Fan suspects that the abruptly built Taoyuan Village is likely to be used to house those officials who were implicated by He Lanmin and were degraded, and the eleven families in the village were the officials who were implicated back then.
However, it is a bit strange that the village was built a year after Helan Minzhi's suicide, and the massacre of the village happened eleven years later.
If the villagers of this small mountain village that suddenly appeared were the officials and their families who were implicated by Helan Minzhi in the first place, if the imperial court intended to eradicate these people, there would be no need to wait so many years, let alone use an excuse like the plague to cover it up.
What's more, at the time of the Shaozhou Bloody Case, Helan Minzhi had already turned into a piece of loess, and the government and the opposition had long forgotten such a person, how could it be that more than ten years later, they suddenly poisoned the people involved in it again, judging from their secret actions and the fact that the personnel they used did their best to cover up their identities and whereabouts, it could not be the actions of the imperial court.
Yang Mingsheng is the specific implementer of the Shaozhou bloody case, and from the sentence blurted out by Yang Mingsheng, it can be proved that the occurrence of the Tucun bloody case must have a major relationship with Helan Minzhi, and this is undoubted.
The question is: what are the secrets of these "villagers" in the mountain villages, so that some people have to solve the problem by slaughtering the villages, which is an inhumane killing act.
Perhaps, only by figuring out this problem can we find out the real culprit behind the scenes, Yang Fan has thought about it for a long time, but there is really no other way to think about it, it seems that he can only use killing as bait to alarm the culprit behind the scenes.
Cai Dongcheng's four King Kongs have gone to one of them, and even if the remaining three join forces, it will be difficult to play their ability to join hands and attack together, Yang Fan plans to eradicate the four King Kongs one by one, and finally kill Cai Dongcheng, at that time, Yang Mingsheng, who is like a frightened bird, will definitely ask for help from his real mastermind behind the scenes.
The mourning hall was placed for three days, Cai Dongcheng's three fierce generals guarded the mourning hall for three days, and the entire Yang Mansion stood by for three days, dragging people sleepy and exhausted, but the mysterious assassin never appeared again.
There are only a thousand days to be a thief in this world, there is no way to prevent thieves for a thousand days, such a tense precautionary measure can't last too long, not to mention those Wuhou and Fang Ding, even if it is the public of the Criminal Department and the patrol of Luoyang Mansion, they are all complaining for three days, and if it goes on like this, without waiting for the assassins to kill, everyone will collapse themselves.
Cai Dongcheng and Yang Mingsheng also knew that it was not a way to go on like this, so the two discussed it and had to restore the night patrol system at the beginning, so that everyone could have a rest when they took shifts to keep vigil.
That night, it was Yang Fan's first patrol shift, and according to the regulations of three shifts and one rotation, they had to rotate every four hours, that is, Yang Fan needed to keep watch from night to dawn, a total of eight hours, and then rest for eight hours, totaling sixteen hours.
"Shhh When Yang Fan walked through a bush, Ma Qiao came out of it again, put a straw hat on his head, and beckoned to him.
Yang Fan walked over and said with a smile: "Brother Qiao, it's really hidden. ” Ma Qiao pulled him under the tree and reproached: "What are you doing so stupidly, walking around, let the assassin break in and see it, a sword will kill you, Lang Zhongfu will give you a coffin at most" Yang Fan naturally understands Ma Qiao's kindness, but he can't help but walk around, others can slack off, he can't, he is looking for an opportunity to start, but the guards in the mansion are obviously much stricter than before, it is easy for him to kill people, but it is more difficult to do it without showing his tracks.
Seeing that Yang Fan was just smiling shyly, Ma Qiao glared at him with hatred, and said helplessly: "You, just your solid eyes" As he spoke, Ma Qiao reached into his arms, took out something, and handed it to Yang Fan.
Something to start, heavy, is an arc-shaped piece of iron, Yang Fanqi said: "What is this?"
Ma Qiao untied his belt and said: "This is the bottom of the pot, there is a leak in my house, and I was going to make up for it and use it, but after my mother heard about what happened in Yangfu, she didn't worry, so she knocked the broken pot in half." ” Ma Qiao said, pulled out another piece of iron from his waist, handed it to Yang Fan, and said, "Well, you carry it in your arms, one on your chest and one on your back, if you really want to, maybe it can be of some use." ” Yang Fan hurriedly excused himself and said: "No, I used it, what should you do, this is what the eldest mother prepared for you, you take it back quickly." ” Ma Qiao said: "Hey, I'm lying here, what are you worried about, I have a lot of brothers in my family, if something really happens, it's okay for a while, I'll find a more secret place to go, go there and sleep, the assassin doesn't come, it doesn't matter, I mean I don't get up, and I won't be stupid enough to yell, what can happen?"
Ma Qiao fastened his belt, drilled into the bushes, and poked his head out uncomfortably and instructed: "Don't be too dead-eyed, if you can be lazy, you can be lazy, even if you ask the steward to catch it, he will scold you at most, how can you not fight with your life." ” "I see" Although Yang Fan said that he didn't need the armor at the bottom of the pot, his heart was still warm, and he stuffed two iron pots into his clothes in front of Ma Qiao, and then said goodbye and left.
In fact, with these two things, his skills will inevitably be greatly affected, so after leaving Ma Qiao's sight, he wandered to the place where he met Miss Xuelian last time, and saw that there was no one before and after, so he took out the iron pot slices and stuffed them into the place where Miss Yang Xuelian hid the grasshopper.
"What are you doing here?"
Yang Fan kicked the iron pot slice into the grass, and was just about to tie his belt when a cold voice came from not far away.
Yang Fan was secretly shocked in his heart, this person could hide from his ears, such a light pace.
Yang Fan turned around slowly, only to see a man with long ape arms and a long body, a round-necked robe, wearing a flowing scarf on his head, wearing a thousand-cow knife under his ribs, holding the handle of the knife in his hand, standing as calm as a mountain.
The man was standing on the path looking at him, and beside him was a pear tree, and the yellow pears bent the branches, as if they were about to put themselves on his shoulders.
"A thousand cattle prepare Shen Jiahui" Yang Fan recognized him at a glance : Ask for referral votes:
