Chapter 98 Treasure Sword, Hidden People in the Deep Mountains
Zeng Yanliang carefully followed these strange people and soon found that they seemed to be very cautious. According to Zeng Yanliang's previous experience, such a person who is cautiously wandering around the city is either to explore the way, or has some unspeakable secrets to come to the city to find people.
Zeng Yanliang has been following them all day, and these people have been shuttling through Quyan County.
When the sun tilted to the west and was about to close the gate, these talents mixed with the crowd out of the city and left the county seat of Nayan County.
Zeng Yanliang did not hesitate to follow, but these people seemed to have responded after they left the city. They went to the woods next to the official road and took a fast horse and galloped along the official road.
Zeng Yanliang was sure that he could not keep up with them before returning to the city.
Before holding the lamp, Zeng Yanliang went to the place where he and Zhao Hanwu met every day with doubts.
In the tavern, Zhao Hanwu is already waiting for Zeng Yanliang.
After listening to Zeng Yanliang talk about the strange things he found today, he stared and said to Zeng Yanliang in a low voice, "Strange person? Maybe it has something to do with what I found!"
It turned out that Zhao Hanwu also found strange things in the county government.
A few days ago, Mr. Liang must have sent county magistrates out to do this and that every day, but in the past two days, Mr. Liang seemed to be doing something alone.
Others were happy and leisurely, but Zhao Hanwu became suspicious.
Although he did not dare to follow Mr. Liang, he had been observing him carefully.
"It's full of dirt, and the horses' hoofs are also full of deep mud." Zhao Hanwu frowned and whispered, "In the previous three days of rain, the land around the county should have been almost dry. I'm afraid it's only on Fengquanling that it can be stained with so much deep and shallow mud. Mr. Liang went there for several days in a row. I don't know if he was planning something.
Zeng Yanliang was a little puzzled and asked, "At this time, Mr. Liang is still on Fengquanling... What can he do?"
Zhao Hanwu looked at no one around, pulled Zeng Yanliang, and asked mysteriously, "Yan Liang, do you remember the case we investigated together two years ago?"
Zeng Yanliang frowned and thought for a long time before he suddenly remembered what Zhao Hanwu said.
Two years ago, when Leng Xuanrong and his father and daughter went to Yanyan County, Zeng Yanliang and Zhao Hanwu, as well as the brothers who died in the robbery of Guanyin, investigated a big case together.
Nayan County is surrounded by mountains and water, which is an excellent residence, but the Fengquan Mountains are thousands of miles deep, and even the most experienced old hunters dare not go deep into the mountains. There is also a legend that there are countless demons hidden in the deepest part of Fengquanling. If people go in, they will definitely go back.
These are all old sayings from the previous generation and even the previous generation, so people like Zeng Yanliang's age will be in awe of the mountain intentionally or unintentionally.
But any birds and beasts will appear in the mountains, and there are many unknown secrets hidden in such deep mountains.
At the beginning, Zeng Yanliang and Zhao Hanwu received a report that there was a group of robbers in the territory under the jurisdiction of Yan County in Fengquanling.
At that time, Liang Qiurong had just taken office for a short time, and he didn't know how to deal with such a case. The master beside him said that it was enough to send someone to investigate, so Liang Qiurong sent Zeng Yanliang, Zhao Hanwu and others to investigate.
After checking for a few days, the government officers inquired about the hunters around the mountains and found that they did find that strangers seemed to suddenly come to the mountain, but it is unknown whether this group of people were robbers or not.
Later, Leng Chengqi met robbers on the way to Nianyan County with Leng Xuanrong. After Zeng Yanliang and others knew about this, Zeng Yanliang went to find their father and daughter. That's why they got to know each other.
However, this case has never been clear. Zeng Yanliang remembered that they seemed to find some clues later, but after these clues were reported...
Thinking of this, Zeng Yanliang's eyes lit up. He looked at Zhao Hanwu and asked in a low voice, "I remember that this matter was taken over by Mr. Liang San at that time?"
Zhao Hanbu nodded vigorously.
At the beginning, Mr. Liang seemed to have nothing to do. After hearing about this, he took his luggage to Fengquanling alone to investigate. It has been more than a month. For more than a month, the officials of the county government have discussed the attitude of the Liang family. The son's whereabouts are unknown in the deep mountains, and the family did not ask a question, let alone show any concern.
It was not until the safe return of Mr. Liang San that these people learned from the former subordinates of the Liang family that Mr. Liang Sanzi was a strange person that no one could control and no one could understand.
Zhao Hanwu whispered to Zeng Yanliang, "Do you remember Yan Liang? At that time, when Mr. Liang San went to Fengquanling, he went out with only a small package with his bare hands, but when he came back, he was wearing a sword.
Zeng Yanliang devoted all his energy to Leng Xuanrong at that time. How could he notice such a detailed thing? He shook his head to show that he didn't remember.
Zhao Hanwu squeaked, "I remember it clearly. The scabbard of the long sword was also set with several gems. At that time, I also amused my brothers, saying that the sword taken by Mr. Liang was enough for us to eat and drink for a lifetime... Later, I found that the long sword was inserted in his bamboo forest yard by Mr. Liang, but I don't know where the scabbard inlaid with gems was put by him... ”
Zhao Hanwu became more and more energetic. He whispered to Zeng Yanliang, "Actually, at that time, I doubted that there might be someone hidden in Fengquanling. But these people must not be robbers in Yan County. They may have done something else and then run to Fengquanling to hide. The time Mr. Liang went up the mountain, he may have found them. Maybe he got the long sword from them.
Zeng Yanliang really didn't find that Zhao Hanwu's mind was turning fast enough before, and his conjectures were reasonable.
There are Tibetans on Fengquanling, not to mention one or two, but 1.8 million came. As long as you go deep into the mountains, you probably won't show any horsefoot. There is no problem...
"So... Do you mean that Mr. Liang San now thinks of those people again. He went to Fengquanling to find those people?" Zeng Yanliang still had some doubts. According to Zhao Hanwu's speculation, it is estimated that the people Zeng Yanliang saw today may be the robbers hidden in Fengquanling. But now the situation is so dangerous, especially for their Liang family, they are simply standing on the edge of the cliff. What else did Mr. Liang go to the robbers?
Naturally, Zhao Hanwu can't explain this. However, Zhao Hanwu is still very confident about the speculation of Mr. Liang's recent actions.
"There will be no mistake." Zhao Hanwu said, "Anyway, Mr. Liang must be planning something. Yan Liang, you must be careful."
Zeng Yanliang nodded and asked Zhao Hanwu if anything had happened in the county government.
Zhao Hanwu smiled bitterly and said to Zeng Yanliang, "Do you know the county magistrate He from above? Doesn't he want to investigate the matter of the river worker? Humph. Even if no one comes to investigate those things Liang Qiurong did, don't the people below know that they are inseparable? Now Liang Qiurong is sad all day long, as if he is trying to smooth things on the other side of the river industry.
Zeng Yanliang also sneered when he heard the words.
All the river workers in Wuming County have something to do, not just his Liang Qiurong's family. Because of this, Liang Qiurong never thought that He Lijing would use this matter to investigate him. Now if you want to smooth out those things, I'm afraid there will be no chance. Now unless Liang Qiurong does something strange, I'm afraid he can't escape the blame.
"The eldest son of the Liang family, who has been immersed in studying, has left Yan County. It is said that he is going to the imperial city to prepare for the imperial examination, but who can't see it? Liang Qiurong was afraid that he would drag down his son, so he sent him away first. It's hard to get rid of the matter between the second son of the Liang family and the river worker. I guess he can't run away. Only Mr. Liang is left. I don't know what will happen..."
Zhao Hanwu had no good impression on the Liang family. The head of the county magistrate was changed, and he continued to be a government office, so this came out of his mouth and only regarded it as gossip.
The two chatted for a while. After holding the lamp, Zeng Yanliang and Zhao Hanwu left the tavern and left separately.
Zeng Yanliang was not in a hurry to go back to his old house, but quietly went to the dyeing studio under the cover of the night.
As soon as he arrived near the study, Zeng Yanliang found that there were not many people watching this study...
With such a bright surveillance, even Zeng Yanliang can understand what it means.
He sighed in his heart that the prince Du Yilin may not have a good time now.
Thinking of this, the accumulated anger in my heart also dissipated a little.
Zeng Yanliang took a breath, put his foot on the roof, and crossed the ridge through the wall. Relying on his familiarity with the dyeing study, he successfully bypassed all the surveillance people and jumped into the study.
The patrol guard immediately found Zeng Yanliang. Zeng Yanliang made a silent gesture and then pointed to the outside of the yard. The patrol guard immediately understood that Zeng Yanliang came back like this to avoid the eyes and ears of those people outside.
"Has the prince fallen asleep?" Zeng Yanliang asked in a low voice.
The patrol guard shook his head and said to Zeng Yanliang worriedly, "I heard that the prince was angry with Miss Leng yesterday. If you go there at this time, the prince may not be able to see you..."
Zeng Yanliang smiled bitterly, sighed again, patted the guard's shoulder, greeted the brothers behind him with fists, and then strode towards the front yard.
In the yard in front of the dust-dyed study, the lights are bright.
Zeng Yanliang went straight to the door of Du Yilin's resting room and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, Zeng Yanliang asked to see you."
Waited for a while before hearing Du Yilin's voice in the room, "Zeng Yanliang...come in."
