Suspect in Jinling

The boundless sky is covered with thick clouds.

In an armchair in the outer hall of Jinling City's garrison yamen, Jiang Xingzheng looked at his hands quietly with scars on his face——

Last night, Jinling City was too lively. In the first half of the night, the west of the city was encircled and suppressed, and in the second half of the night, the Houhu Lake was arrested. Overnight, the Taiping Sect was uprooted overnight. When I woke up this morning, all the ministries were shocked.

A few hours ago, Jiang Xingzheng returned from Liangzhou Island in the Houhu Lake to the Zhenfu Division. The more he thought about the situation in Houhu, the more frightened he became: when the ghost was in trouble, he was not sure if he heard his words clearly, he seemed to be shouting What Li Mengliang said, as a person who experienced the situation at that time, Jiang Xingzheng could see that, given the situation at the time and the courage to kill Xiangyue, he could completely hold the commander and rush out of the encirclement, even if the soldiers from the north of the city at that time It's over, but as long as he wants to kidnap Li Mengliang on the spot, he still has the chance to rush out.But he didn't do anything, and suddenly he was caught without a fight.

Adoptive father.

Killing Xiangyue should have said such a sentence at the time, but the voice was too low and weak. He couldn't imagine that it was the voice that this top wanted criminal would make, but the act of killing Xiangyue to obey the law itself was too meaningful, and Jiang Xingzheng couldn't help it at all. There is no way not to think about it.

"Step aside!"

A few hours ago, Sha Xiangyue was escorted back to the Sizhao Prison in the town government, and Jiang Xingzheng followed into the cell. Before he had finished the steps of the dungeon, Qu Bao ran over to stop him in a panic: "Jiang Baihu, Mr. Li said that we are not allowed to interrogate 'Ghost Seeing Sorrow', he will interrogate himself."

Jiang Xingzheng stood on the steps expressionlessly, reached out and lifted Qu Bao's collar directly, and asked in a low voice:

"Who are you? And who is it that sent you to watch me?"

Countless details were strung together after Sha Xiangyue's kneeling, Li Mengliang's identity, the identity of Xiaoqi next to him, Qu Bao was with him at the beginning of the Qinhuai River Huye case, when Kuang Jian found out about Yu Daijiao's family, he He once took the initiative to warn himself that Li Mengliang came to the town's office half a month ago, and Qu Bao was quickly appreciated by Li Mengliang, and even discouraged him from intervening in the Cigu case. After that, the situation in Jinling began to change rapidly. It's so fast that it makes people dazzled and overwhelmed...

There was obvious panic in Qu Bao's eyes, and he grabbed Jiang Xingzheng's mouth to defend himself: "Baihu, no one is watching you... What are you worrying about? We are not all just following the instructions from above, Mr. Li It will harm you..."

"Xingzheng!"

A male voice suddenly stopped Jiang Xingzheng's furious behavior. Li Mengliang walked from the depths of the prison and raised his eyes to look at him: "What are you doing?"

Jiang Xingzheng threw Qu Bao away and walked over step by step. This man still causes him pressure. Even knowing his possible identity, he still couldn't help obeying: "This subordinate applies for interrogation of 'Ghost Seeing Sorrow'. Ask him important things."

Li Mengliang's expression remained unchanged: "This official said, 'Ghosts are sad' and I will interrogate myself."

"Why!" Jiang Xingzheng was suddenly excited: "You don't let people interrogate, is it because you have a guilty conscience?"

"presumptuous!"

Jiang Xingzheng's veins twitched, and he took a deep breath: "...The subordinate just wants to understand."

Li Mengliang looked at Jiang Xingzheng calmly: "The notice of the emergency meeting of the garrison yamen has been issued. After two hours, everything you want to know will have an explanation, but this is not what you should care about now." Li Mengliang stretched out palm, firmly grasping his shoulder——

Jiang Xingzheng stared at him, holding his breath.

Li Mengliang: "Jiang Baihu was successful in capturing Gui Jianchou. Congratulations. You are going to be promoted."

Jiang Xingzheng stared at his hand, feeling extremely heavy in his heart——

The garrison yamen is not too far away from the Zhenfu Secretary. When it was just dawn, he walked all the way here from Chongli Street. When he was about to go to the yamen, he guarded the honorable Fengcheng Hou Li Xian, Ying Tianfu Yin Li Min, the guard eunuch Tang Guan, and the town hall. Lu Duanxian, the deputy commander of the government department, Li Mengliang, the supervisor of Jinyiwei, Zuo Yang, the Tutor of Yingtianfu, and others rushed to the reception room first, and Jiang Xingzheng, as the hero of the previous night, sat frustrated and depressed in the outer hall waiting for the summons.

The most wanted criminal of the Zhenfu Division was once the guest of the head of the Zhenfu Division. Jinling City's famous stern-faced head arrester slept with the number one suspect. He kept saying that he wanted to hunt down the chief of the Taiping Sect, and he was probably the head teacher of the Taiping Sect. ... This world is so absurd, Jiang Xingzheng was in a daze for a while: What about that adult?If it was Sha Xiangyue who killed him, did Kuang Jian know about it?Complicit?He no longer dared to speculate, if everything was true, then the conspiracy would be too big.

A burst of frightened footsteps sounded from the outside quickly, Jiang Xingzheng turned his head, and sure enough, it was Kuang Jian.He strode forward in black clothes, covered in frost and snow, Jiang Xingzheng stood up and stared at the past coldly.

"You caught Sha Xiangyue?"

Kuang Jian glanced at him, and rarely spoke first.

Jiang Xingzheng responded with a sentence: "I caught Gui Jianchou."

There are also guards guarding the yamen here, Kuang Jian took a breath and lowered his voice: "He is also Yu Daijiao's friend."

"shut up!"

Jiang Xingzheng drank in a low voice, staring at Kuang Jian, afraid that people would hear: "It was his friend who induced Jiaojiao to commit a crime."

With Jiang Xingzheng's rebellious attitude, Kuang Jianjian had nothing to say. The Taiping teaching case was the focus of all the attention. He did not dare to abuse the punishment even if he judged the governor of the town government. He turned his eyes away and didn't sit down. Go back, stand straight on the other side of the half-moon gate, and wait with a sullen face.

The guards on guard cast their gazes at the two of them, and their eyes were a little puzzled: These two are young people who have just made great contributions last night, but there is no joy and joy on their faces. Instead, the two of them frowned. One is very heavy, and when they meet each other, they are even more tense.

Not allowing them to think too much, a call was soon heard in the meeting hall, and Kuang Jian and Jiang Xingzheng entered the door.

The weather was bad, the dark sky shone mistyly on the window panes, and several large lamps were still lit in the square meeting hall. There were two rows of tables on the left and right in the room. Marquis Fengcheng sat in front of the big table in the middle, and the table on the left. The first person on the table is Tang Guan, the guarding eunuch of Jinling. The left and right sides are clearly separated. On the right is Ying Tianfu: Master Li Min and Fourth Master, and on the left is the Secretary of the Zhenfu: Lu Duanxian and Li Mengliang.

"Our heroes from last night are here!"

As soon as the door opened, the eunuch Tang Guan saw Kuang and Jiang, and immediately opened his mouth first, and said with a smile: "How many years, the Taiping Sect is a poisonous thorn in the heart of the imperial court, such a serious worry, today's day Extinguish it, it's too popular! Marquis Fengcheng, I must give credit to these young and promising juniors!" Changed from the domineering appearance in the lobby last time.

Kuang Jian and Jiang Xingzheng immediately stood in silence, politely responded to the words "I dare not" and "Thank you for the cultivation of the court", and then greeted each other one by one, found a seat, and Kuang Jian consciously sat next to the fourth master. Jiang Xingzheng sat under Li Mengliang.Kuang Jian took another look at Fourth Master.

The fourth master has put on his official uniform again at this time. Ten days ago, he was reported for "covering heresy and turning everything into nothing", and he was stripped of his uniform and dismissed in this room. The forces of the Taiping Sect in the west of the city were pulled out, and Si Ye, as the commander in chief of the operation, was suspected of being involved in the Taiping Sect before. Today's great achievement can also explain everything clearly——Tang Guan forcibly stripped his clothes and took him away that day, and today is naturally the gesture Please put it on in place.

Tang Guan talked a lot, a lot when he was mean, and more when he was enthusiastic. Originally, today's garrison yamen meeting was to discuss the criminalization of key members of the Taiping sect such as Jin Chizi, Sha Xiangyue, and Xu. The department and the others have worked out a set of plans and submitted them to the cabinet for approval. After that, how to convict, how to review, the sentencing scale, etc., need to jointly consider the follow-up direction, but the eunuch Tang Guan can only pay attention to one thing inside and outside : Credit please.

Beijing asked them to conduct a thorough investigation of the Taiping Sect, and Jinling completed the task within a month, so it deserves credit!

Tang Guan's face was flushed, his eyebrows were dancing, and he patted his chest to assure the fourth master and others, "This time, the frontline personnel must see the benefits! There is no dismissal, everyone, just wait for the promotion!"

Kuang Jian took a deep breath.

"Master Tang, hold on, let me say something..."

It was Fourth Master who spoke first, and he smiled and kindly reminded: "Not all Taiping sects have been arrested. It's too early to say these things now."

Tang Guan paused.

Kuang Jian was more blunt: "The head teacher of the Taiping Sect has not yet obeyed the law. In terms of merit, Fourth Master and I are ashamed."

Jiang Xingzheng remained calm, his gaze turned to Li Mengliang lightly.Tang Guan glanced at Li Mengliang quickly, and then slowly put a smile on his face.

"The head teacher of the Taiping Sect..." Tang Guan pondered, and asked tentatively, "Does Ying Tianfu have a clue now?"

"There is a clue." The fourth master answered simply, with a smile on his face: "The eunuch Lao Tang asked, Ying Tianfu interrogated the suspect in the west of the city last night, and the murderers Jin and Xu took the initiative to confess that their head teacher had an undercover agent The background is quite related to the town government department, and it is said that he is still a high-level figure."

Tang Guan immediately changed his face: "This, this can't be..."

"This statement is a bit absurd."

Fourth Master smiled.

"But there's nothing you can't do."

Kuang Jian cut off the call immediately: "Maybe that person is in this room."

Fourth Master turned to look at Kuang Jian: "Actually, it's very easy to prove it, it's just a cup of tea."

Kuang Jian: "Just take the prisoners in the prison and identify them. It will be clear at a glance who is the head teacher."

"Well." The fourth master praised in a serious manner: "This method is good." Then he turned his head to look at Li Mengliang, and asked with a smile: "You think so, Mr. Li."

silence.

In the meeting hall, there was a long silence.

Kuang Jian and Fourth Master cooperated impromptuly, and suddenly there was such a double reed, the immediate boss Li Min did not make a sound, nor did Fengcheng Marquis Li Xian, completely acquiescing to the behavior of these two subordinates.For such a long period of time, the actions of the town government secretary have gone too far. Now that Li Mengliang's identity is so suspicious, everyone is not a fool, and will not let anyone play tricks. Seeing him doing evil with his left hand, His right hand was whitewashed, and he even tried to escape the law and escaped.

At this moment, even Jiang Xingzheng from the town's office looked at Li Mengliang, who was clasping his fingers and lowering his eyes, waiting for his response.

"...It seems that our hero last night has some opinions on the identity of this official." In the silence, Li Mengliang spoke slowly, his voice was neither high nor low, neither thin nor thick. And calmly smiled at everyone: "Indeed, I should give you an explanation."
