Chapter 435: Ninghai (1)

Jiang Hongjin spent all the money on hand, but did not find any useful clues. Jiang Hongjin wished he could kill all those officials. At this time, Mr. Gao arrived.

Mr. Gao has been on his way, and had not heard of Jiang Hongjin's disfigurement before. So when he saw the blood-red sarcoma on Jiang Hongjin's right face, Mr. Gao turned pale with shock: "Second Master, what's wrong with Second Master?" It's not that he was drugged to kill his son, but he never heard of disfigurement!

Jiang Hongjin said expressionlessly: "He was murdered." Thinking that the person who murdered him is still at large, Jiang Hongjin gritted his teeth with hatred.

Mr. Gao knew that the murderer was planning to kill Jiang Hongjin again: "Second Lord, don't worry, I will definitely help you find the murderer behind the scenes."

Jiang Hongjin believed in Mr. Gao: "It's all up to Uncle Gao." Mr. Gao has been with his father for more than 20 years, and he is better than him in terms of experience and experience.

Mr. Gao asked Jiang Hongjin: "After arriving in Luoyang, who will the second master offend?" Someone who can do this kind of murder must be a deadly enemy, so it is not difficult to find.

Jiang Hongjin shook his head and said, "In Luoyang, I didn't offend anyone." The number of officials in Luoyang, even if they disagreed with each other in politics, did not offend anyone.

Mr. Gao's thoughts were deeper than Jiang Hongjin's, and he asked, "Second Lord, it's not just rich and powerful people who do such a thing."

Jiang Hongjin's expression changed, and he asked, "Uncle Gao, what does this mean?"

Who was Mr. Gao? Looking at Jiang Hongjin's appearance, he still didn't understand, and asked, "Who did the second master have a death feud with?"

Jiang Hongjin immediately shook his head and said, "It's nothing. The murderer behind the scenes must be someone who has a big grudge against our Jiang family."

Mr. Gao sighed slightly, and said, "Second Lord, if you don't tell me about this, I can't help you find the murderer behind the scenes."

Jiang Hongjin was silent for a long time before saying, "Not long after I came to Luoyang, I encountered a case." Jiang Hongjin is the magistrate of the prefecture, and he is in charge of civil affairs, that is, special care and placement, relief and disaster relief and other matters.

Not long after Jiang Hongjin arrived in Luoyang, there was an incident of officials embezzling disaster relief funds. At that time, there were three officials involved in the case, one of whom was the prefect's cousin, one was the younger brother of the same prefect, and one had no background in Luoyang. The one with no background ended up in jail, and the other two were fine.

After listening to Mr. Gao, he asked: "Who is still in the family surnamed He?

Jiang Hongjin shook his head and said: "The man surnamed He is from Jizhou, his wife and children are all in Jizhou. After that man committed an offense, all the concubines ran away with money. It was his old servant who sent his coffin back to Jizhou." It is impossible for the concubine and the two young children to avenge that man.

After a pause, Jiang Hongjin said, "Even if the He family wanted revenge, they shouldn't have come to me. This case was not judged by me, but by the magistrate." At most, he could be regarded as an accomplice.

Mr. Gao asked Jiang Hongjin a lot of things, but he didn't get any clues. Mr. Gao said: "Didn't you say that there is a portrait of the prisoner? Bring it here and show it to me." This is also the only clue.

As a result, looking at the wanted criminals with thick beards in the portraits, Mr. Gao was depressed: "This painting is too ordinary, and there is nothing special about it. It is very difficult to find it." This appearance may be very conspicuous in the capital, but It is common in Luoyang. Walking on the street, you can grab a few that are similar to the portraits.

Jiang Hongjin remained silent, this was already the best one.

Mr. Gao said: "Didn't you say that someone has seen this person? Bring that person down." Mr. Gao is good at painting, and he wants to draw it himself.

After a day, Mr. Gao drew Yan Xi's appearance. The person who had seen Yan Xi looked at the portrait and couldn't help nodding: "Like, just like a real person.

"

Mr. Gao said: "Let someone copy a few more copies and post them in the streets and alleys. I believe that this person's identity will be found out."

This trick is very useful. In less than three days, someone uncovered the portrait and came to Zhizhou Mansion to receive the reward. The visitor had seen Yan Xi, and knew his background quite well: "This man's name is Yan Xiaoxi. He was originally a tenant in Maicheng. Later, he couldn't survive and went up the hills and became a bandit. He became the confidant of the smiling tiger in Maicheng. Later, Yun Qing I don’t know their whereabouts if they occupy the northwest.” The person who came to receive the reward was originally an official of Maizhou City and was very familiar with the area. It was also because Yunqing led troops to fight over, and he fled to Luoyang with his family.

Mr. Gao said to Jiang Hongjin: "This person should be hiding in the northwest, so this matter is more difficult." The northwest is different from Luoyang, and it is not so easy to arrest people in the northwest.

Jiang Hongjin said bitterly: "Don't talk about the northwest, even the ends of the earth, I will not let him go." Now that he has found the trace, he will never let him go.

Mr. Gao lowered his head and thought for a moment, then raised his head and said to Jiang Hongjin, "Master will arrive in Luoyang in half a month. When the time comes, I will go to Pick City with you. I will definitely find out the whereabouts of this person. Second master, you should hurry back to the capital." Let's go!" For Jiang Hongjin's wound on his face, it would be better to return to the capital to treat it.

Jiang Hongjin wanted to find out the people behind the scenes with his own hands.

Mr. Gao disapproved of Jiang Hongjin's behavior: "Second Master, the most important thing for you now is to heal the wound on your face. Everything else is secondary." Mr. Gao had a vague feeling that the mastermind behind the scenes was not only difficult to find, but also Still hard to deal with.

Under Mr. Gao's tough attitude, Jiang Hongjin finally compromised and returned to the capital in a carriage the next day. As for Yurong, she stayed in Luoyang to conceive.

Three days before Tie Kui got married, he received a letter from Yu Xi. Along with the letter, there are some inconspicuous gifts. Of course, it was sent in the name of Tong Chrome.

Holding the beautiful plum blossom font on the letter, Tie Kui knew that this letter was written by Yu Xi. Because it is not uncommon for Yuxi to be able to write plum blossom fonts, anyone in the capital who is a little well-informed knows it.

After entering the house, Tie Kui opened the letter. Seeing the word 'uncle' written at the beginning of it, Tie Kui's pupils shrank. He would take the risk of wanting to recognize Yuxi, not only because he wanted to restore his identity, but also because Yuxi was the only person with blood relationship with him.

After carefully reading the entire letter, a smile appeared on Tie Kui's face. In the letter, Yuxi just told her how she missed her biological mother and her joy for this uncle who appeared out of nowhere. Except this time, Tie Kui had to protect himself. If Tie Kui was willing to go to the northwest, she would welcome her with both hands, and she didn't say a word about spying on the news.

After reading it again, Tie Kui took the fire folder and burned the letter. With people from Yan Wushuang watching, he had to be careful not to keep anything that might be Xie Lu's identity.

Tie Kui said to Zhong Shan who walked into the room: "Let's have a good drink tonight." Now in his heart, he has actually approved of Yu Xi, the niece.

Zhong Shan had known Tie Kui for so many years, and it was the first time he saw him so happy: "Kui Zi, what made you so happy."

Tie Kui is really happy today, and he also wants Zhong Shan to share this joy with him: "Aren't you very puzzled about my life experience before? I can tell you today."

Zhong Shan heard this and said: "You wait." After saying this, he hurried out to look outside. Fortunately, there was no one outside at this time, and there was no one on the roof.

Tie Kui smiled, if he was not sure that there was no one here, how would he dare to say this. However, Zhong Shan's behavior still warmed his heart.

Zhong Shan closed the door, pulled Tie Kui into the inner compartment, and said with some complaints: "You have to be careful about such a big matter!" It must be extraordinary.

Tie Kui smiled.

After Zhong Shan calmed down, he asked, "Kuizi, what is your identity?" He had already guessed from Han Jianming's incident that Tie Kui should be from the capital, and he also knew Han Jianming, the eldest son of the Duke's mansion. So Tie Kui's birth must not be bad.

Tie Kui said: "My real name is Ning Hai, quiet Ning, the sea of ​​the sea, and I am the youngest son in my family. My father chose this name for me in the hope that I can have a heart that embraces all rivers..." Speaking of the disaster of the Ning family, Tie Kui choked up a little.

Zhong Shan said: "If you don't want to say it, then don't say it!"

Tie Kui shook his head and said: "All the adult men of the Ning family beheaded, and the female relatives were sold. My second sister sold all the dowry to clear up the relationship, and saved the lives of me, my fifth brother, a few nephews and a group of female relatives. Unfortunately, in the end On the way to Liaodong, I ran into bandits." Tie Kui's father made many friends during his lifetime, and they also secretly helped. Otherwise, how could so many people's lives be saved with just that little dowry from the Ning family.

Zhong Shan lowered his voice and asked, "How did you escape?" Those who survived the encounter with the bandits were lucky people.

Tie Kui said: "We were resting when the bandits came. I happened to be going to the toilet in the grass, and the bandits didn't notice me." Tie Kui is a scholar, and scholars are very particular, even if they are prisoners. So he had to go to a place far away from the road to solve his personal problems, where there were grass and cats, which was why the bandits didn't find him.

On the way to Liaodong, Tie Kui heard that the road was not smooth. So when he heard the screams and calls for help, he didn't dare to run out, so he could only cover his mouth and squat on the spot, not daring to move, and he walked out of the grass after the gangsters left.

And what he saw when he came out has always been his lingering nightmare. His remaining relatives were all lying in a pool of blood, the third sister-in-law was decapitated, and the fourth sister-in-law was still naked.

In fact, in many cases, the dead are the happy ones, and the survivors are the most painful. Tie Kui has often had nightmares in the past twenty years, and every time he wakes up from the nightmares, he is covered in cold sweat. And this kind of pain cannot be complained to others, it can only be suppressed in the heart. (to be continued)
