Chapter 215 The Wisdom Near the Demon(1/2)
Since Qin Lang heard the news of his father-in-law's death, he felt sad and angry. On the second day of the second month, he took the initiative to declare that they were responsible for Long Shixing's death. It can be said that they were blinded by hatred and did not consider other things at all. He Shankuo said this, his heart suddenly became trembling, yes! How did Long Shixing escape calmly? Even if he escaped from Da Baoen Temple, there were Jinlin Guards who were closely inspecting outside, unless someone deliberately let him go. Since he left, why didn't he choose to leave the city? Or just find a place to hide?
But according to what Long Xixi said, Long Shixing was already discouraged and he didn't want to leave Dabaoen Temple at all. In other words, he would most likely not leave if someone let him go. The rest may be someone taking him away.
He Shankuo said: "Have you ever thought that he had been killed before he arrived at the murdered place. It was just a scene of abandoning corpses. After all, it was not that easy to bring a living person to a designated place to kill him, but it was much easier to abandon the corpse."
Qin Lang said: "Where did you get the things in this wooden box?"
He Shankuo said: "The person who claimed to kill King Qing did not belong to the second day of the second month, but they must have a very good understanding of the second month. This wooden box was entrusted by them to send it to the second month of the second month of the second month of the second month of the second month of the second month of the second month of the second month of the second month of the second month of the second month of the second month of the second month of the second month of the second month of the second month of the second month of the first month of the second month of the first month of the second month of the first month of the second month of the first month of the second month of the first month of the second month of the first month of the first month of the second month of the first month of the first month of the second month of the first month of the first month of the second month of the first month of the first month of the second month of the first month of the second month of the first month of the first month of the second month of the first month of the second month of the first month of the second month of the happened to take on the task of hijacking Princess Xixi."
"How do you prove it?"
He Shankuo shook his head and said, "I can't prove it, but I think this matter is unreasonable. If you can trust me, I am willing to help you investigate this matter. After all, I owe you a favor."
Although Qin Lang and He Shankuo did not have much contact, they deeply admired this person's wisdom and had to admit that He Shankuo's analysis was very reasonable.
He Shankuo did not respond immediately when he saw Qin Lang, thinking that he was still hesitating: "There are many killers on the second day of the second month. Once the station is fully opened with them, you can't even think of peace. I don't say that, it's not to destroy your prestige, but to not want you to have such a meaningless battle, so that the real murderer can get away with it."
"What are you going to help me?"
"I'll investigate the Dabao'en Temple. I'll help you find out the list of Jinlinwei's duty that night." He handed Qin Lang a piece of paper.
After Qin Lang unfolded, he saw that the list of Jinlin Guards on duty on the night Long Shixing left Dabaoen Temple was listed. Even their patrol routes and whereabouts were clearly marked after leaving.
Qin Lang said: "Brother He thought the real murderer was in Dabaoen Temple?"
He Shankuo nodded and said, "If my speculation is correct, King Qing was killed in Dabaoen Temple that night. The murderer took King Qing's body away from Dabaoen Temple to avoid the inspection of Jinlin Guards, or the Jinlin Guard had his inside line. The reason for bringing the body to the crime site was that you had an ambush on the second day of the second month. The purpose of doing this was to make people naturally contact the murder case to the second day of the second month. They had done so much, but they had to claim that they were responsible for King Qing's death on the second day of the second month of the second month of the second month of the second month of the second month of the second month of the second month of the second month of the second month of the second month of the first month of the second month of the second, which would be suspected of being a snail."
Qin Lang listened to his analysis and secretly admired him. Fortunately, it was his younger brother who opposed him at the beginning. If it were He Shankuo, it would be really not that easy to deal with.
Qin Lang said: "So on the second day of the second month, they were not willing to take the blame, so they found you."
He Shankuo said: "It's a pity that it's still too late. The most unwise thing for people in the world is to interfere in the court."
Qin Lang heard the mystery from He Shankuo's words and whispered: "Brother He is hinting to me that this matter has something to do with the court?"
He Shankuo said calmly: "If you want to drill holes in the jade, if you use an iron chisel to achieve it overnight, then the jade will most likely crack from it. Only by using a drill and slowly advancing with patience can you succeed. Commander Qin is a smart person. To say that you don't like to hear, King Qing's death is still of some value to you."
A cold wind blew, He Shankuo shivered, wrapped the sable fur tightly on his body, and whispered: "It's time for me to go back. Commander Qin Jie's grief and help me convey my greetings to His Highness the Princess."
Qin Lang did not continue to take action on the second day of the second month. Despite this, 53 heads of the second month of the second month of the second month of the second month of the new month of the new month of the new month of the new month had already made him famous in Yongdu. After discussing with Long Xixi, he decided to place King Qing's remains in the pagoda forest of Dabaoen Temple. He Shankuo's words inspired Qin Lang. The real murderer should be hiding in Dabaoen Temple.
Although the court returned the Prince Qing's Mansion to Long Xixi, the couple still decided to live in Jinyuan. With the help of Lu Buyao, Babu Academy agreed to return the rockery to Jinyuan. However, it was easy to sink the rockery, and it took a lot of manpower and material resources to fish it out of the water. Now it is cold and the land is temporarily frozen. It is tentatively time to wait until spring is warm and the flowers are blooming and the ice and snow melt, drain the water of the pond before transporting it.
Qin Lang temporarily gave up the pursuit of the second day of the second month, which does not mean that he gave up pursuing the real murderer. The list He Shankuo gave him shows that the commander of the Jinlin Guard who was on duty at Dabaoen Temple that night was Yuan Menkun.
Qin Lang and Yuan Menkun had already met when they escorted Chen Weiyu to Yongdu. At that time, there were not so many conflicts between them. Even if Yuan Menkun was not one of the suspicious characters, Qin Lang had to settle the score with him.
Dongyumen is the headquarters of Jinlin Guard. With He Shanming's release, the person who is in charge here has become Yuan Menkun. Of course, he is not the President of Jinlin Guard. Liu Jiuyang has always served as the Chief of Jinlin Guard. However, Liu Jiuyang was injured in the protection of the driver three years ago and has been recuperating at home and rarely appears here.
After learning about Qin Lang's return, Yuan Menkun became uneasy. He heard that Qin Lang led the Xiyu Guard to sweep the two strongholds on the second day of the second month overnight and killed fifty-three people, he felt even more frightened. He had a premonition that Qin Lang would come to him sooner or later.
Qin Lang and his wife have been busy with funerals these days. Although Yuan Menkun did not come to the door to celebrate the filial piety, he was always paying attention to the news there. He also knew that Long Shixing had been restored to the royal family status after his death and was posthumously named King Qing. The court returned the Qing County Prince's Mansion to Long Xixi. Now Long Xixi has regained his identity as a princess.
These news made Yuan Menkun a headache. He went to Jinyuan to search more than once, and it was an indisputable fact that he offended Qin Lang and his wife.
On the eighth day of the first lunar month, Yuan Menkun was assigning tasks to his subordinates at Dongyumen. Someone came to report that Qin Lang was here.
Yuan Menkun's heart sank, whether it is a blessing or a disaster, or a disaster, he would meet Qin Lang sooner or later, and asked Qin Lang how many times had Qin Lang come. Hearing that Qin Lang was coming alone, he felt a little relieved.
Qin Lang was wearing a black outfit, majestic and calm expression. When he walked into the Jinlin Guard, Yuan Menkun greeted him and said with a fist: "Mr. Ma is here, and he is wrong to welcome him. I will forgive him for his crimes." Since Long Xixi restored his identity as the princess, Qin Lang also restored his identity as the county horse.
Qin Lang looked at Yuan Menkun with a smile and said, "Deputy Commander Yuan, I came here today because I have something to ask for advice."
Yuan Menkun made a gesture to invite him into the room, and Qin Lang shook his head and said, "Just say a few words, I'll leave after I ask."
Yuan Menkun said: "Please tell me!"
"Who discovered my father-in-law's escape from Dabao'en Temple?"
Yuan Menkun said: "It was discovered by Dabaoen Temple. At that time, we heard the noise in the temple and realized something was wrong."
"You were on duty that night?" Qin Lang's face disappeared, and he looked at Yuan Menkun coldly.
Yuan Menkun tried to calm down and looked at Qin Lang and said, "Yes!"
"Why did you conclude that my father-in-law escaped, not hijacked?"
Yuan Menkun said: "The monks in the temple said so..."
"What do they say is what? Do you have a brain? Don't you know how to judge it yourself?"
Yuan Menkun was scolded by him in front of so many subordinates, and he couldn't stand it in his face. He coughed dryly and said, "Is Commander Qin asking me to ask for a crime?"
Qin Lang said: "You were on duty on the night of the accident. My father-in-law was kidnapped from Dabaoen Temple, but you didn't notice it. Are you dereliction of duty?"
Yuan Menkun said: "It seems that it is not the turn of Commander Qin to judge whether he is dereliction of duty or not, and what evidence do you have to conclude that he was kidnapped."
Qin Lang nodded and said, "Your Majesty has already given my father-in-law a glorious name and pronounced him as King Qing. This proves that he was not escaping, but being captured. As the deputy commander of the Jinlin Guard, you are responsible for on duty that night, but you allow the murderer to enter and exit the Dabaoen Temple and rob the royal family. What crime should you be punished?"
Yuan Menkun sweated on his forehead. This guy really was a kind person who didn't come. As soon as he arrived, he put a big hat on himself. Yuan Menkun shouted: "What's wrong with you if you want to add a crime? I ask myself to do my duty and have a clear conscience on this matter."
Qin Lang sneered: "What a clear conscience. Your protection is not good, which led to the tragic death of my father-in-law. I still have no guilt. I have found out all of you on duty that night." He took out a piece of paper and said: "Wang Sanmao, one of the warriors on duty that night, was a moment later than the prescribed time. Because he was too devoted to gambling at Hongtu Gambling House, it was late. Liu Changzhu and Li Shuigen, these two did not participate in the patrol that night. It happened that King Qing disappeared. After you searched Jinyuan, the two of them went to Xieyue Street to have sex with them..."
Qin Lang handed the paper to Yuan Menkun. After Yuan Menkun looked at it, his face suddenly turned blood. Qin Lang was prepared and investigated their whereabouts that night and the next day.
Qin Lang said: "After my father-in-law disappeared, you reported to the court as soon as possible that he had escaped from Dabaoen Temple. You led people to search for it in a large amount. Yuan Menkun, Yuan Menkun, you can't wait."
Yuan Menkun felt a little dry and dry: "I can't wait for something?"
"Framed!"
Yuan Menkun said: "Qin Lang, I respect you as a county horse, but if you dare to speak nonsense and be innocent, don't blame me for being rude."
Qin Lang smiled and said, "You're welcome? I want to see how you are not polite to me. Yuan Menkun, I got the news that my father-in-law was killed that night because it was your collusion with the murderer."
Yuan Menkun said angrily: "Qin Lang, don't go too far! What evidence do you have?"
Qin Lang said: "I have always liked too much. Yuan Menkun, you kill my father-in-law and force me to break into my house while I am not here. Do you really think that I can escape?"
Yuan Menkun said: "I am not afraid of my shadow slanting!"
Qin Lang laughed: "I'm so upright and not afraid of shadows." He took out another piece of paper: "You did the deducting brothers' food and salary, right?"
"You're talking nonsense!" Yuan Menkun's face turned blue.
Qin Lang said: "It's no wonder that you secretly raise a singer outside, and you have to keep it at home, and the singer still has to support you. If you don't do this, how can you please both sides? There are still many scandals. Do you want me to list them one by one for everyone?"
Yuan Menkun pointed at Qin Lang in anger and said, "Enough, Qin Lang, you ruined my reputation again and again, I want to duel with you!"
Qin Lang smiled and nodded, "It's accurate!"
In addition to the law, there is another simplest way to resolve hatred in this world, that is, duels. As long as both parties make a life and death document and choose a duel, no matter what the result is, the official will not pursue the consequences.
Qin Lang pressed forward step by step, forcing Yuan Menkun to take this step.
When Zhang Yanzong took the initiative to make a duel with Qin Lang, he wanted to die. Qin Lang learned this move from Zhang Yanzong. He had used it on He Shanming before, but He Shanming finally did not choose to accept it. He sent Xihaizhou as an official before the duel. However, Qin Lang's aggressive generals worked for Yuan Menkun, and Yuan Menkun took the initiative to make a duel.
After Yuan Menkun finished speaking, he began to regret because he knew Qin Lang's strength and he could not be Qin Lang's opponent, but now that happened, if he chose to give up, he would never be able to raise his head in front of these Jin Scale Guards in the future.
Which is more important, honor or life?
Qin Lang saw Yuan Menkun's hesitation and said disdainfully: "You still have time to regret it."
Yuan Menkun bit his lip: "A common man cannot take away his will!"
Qin Lang said: "Why don't I give up. Tell me who was working with you and killed my father-in-law?"
Yuan Menkun glared at Qin Lang: "You are slandering!"
Qin Lang roared: "Come on the life and death document!"
In the Dongyumen School, Qin Lang and Yuan Menkun stood opposite each other. Qin Lang slowly pulled out the Yanling sword. Yuan Menkun held the snake spear in his hand, and looked at Qin Lang with murderous intent. Suddenly, he roared, and the snake spear rushed straight to Qin Lang's throat like a flash of lightning.
Qin Lang started it later than him, but Yan Lingdao arrived first, accurately slashing on the tip of the snake spear.
Take it!
Mars were everywhere, and the momentum of the snake spear was advanced paused. From the spearhead to the gun barrel, the violent trembling was like a living snake trying to break free from Yuan Menkun's tiger's mouth, making him unable to control it. While he tried his best to control the weapon, Qin Lang's second sword came again.
Although Yuan Menkun knew that Qin Lang was very strong, he did not expect that Qin Lang was so strong. Facing the second sword that Qin Lang slashed, he could only raise his spear to plague.
clang!
The gun was cut off by the Yan Ling Knife. Qin Lang's sword could have killed Yuan Menkun on the spot, but he did not do so. He raised his foot and kicked Yuan Menkun in the chest. Yuan Menkun was kicked and flew backwards and fell heavily to the ground. He then slid more than three feet away from behind because of inertia.
Before Yuan Menkun had time to get up from the ground, the blade had already pressed against his throat. Yuan Menkun's face was ashamed. He had no chance of winning in front of Qin Lang. It was a very stupid decision to take the initiative to propose a duel. Qin Lang could kill him now, closed his eyes and said, "I am defeated, kill me if I want to kill!"
Qin Lang patted his face with a knife and said, "There is no need to kill you, and you don't have the courage to kill my father-in-law. I will report your dereliction of duty, and none of you can escape."
Qin Lang even got into the sheath, turned around and left the Dongyu Gate under the gaze of the Jinlin Guard.
"Why didn't you kill Yuan Menkun?" Long Xixi said angrily.
Qin Lang said: "Borrowing his great courage, he dare not attack your father. It's not that I don't want to kill him, but that there is no need."
Long Xixi looked at Qin Lang with some confusion.
Qin Lang said: "I deliberately alerted the snake today. If Yuan Menkun could spend tonight safely, I will write to the Ministry of Justice to handle him and the Jinlin Guards involved tomorrow, but I always feel that he may not be able to survive tonight."
Long Xixi said: "Do you think someone will kill someone to silence him?"
Qin Lang nodded: "Someone reminded me."
On the ninth day of the Chinese New Year, Yuan Menkun, deputy commander of Jinlin Guard, hanged himself at home.
