Late Tang

Chapter 75 Showdown

Du Yuhou Song Wen's words were very soft, as soft as a spring breeze.But these words became a hurricane in Li Jing's ears, sweeping through his mind and messing up his thoughts.Li Jing pretended to be calm and said: "Du Yuhou's joke is not very funny, and being humble can't bear such a joke." While talking, he secretly looked around from the corner of his eye, but apart from Song Wen, it seemed that there was only the legendary guard from before .

Song Wen seemed to know exactly what Li Jing was thinking, and said with a smile: "Don't look at me anymore, I brought a guard here today. But if you plan to kill me like you killed Feng Yanqing, I advise you to Dispel this idea. This is a military camp, you don't think it's really hard for you to kill me quietly, do you?" He turned around casually, exposing his entire back in front of Li Jing, and then I chose a slightly flat stone on the spot and sat down.

At that moment, Li Jing's hand was indeed on the horizontal knife handle at his waist.He didn't know why Song Wen would say those words, but he was certain that the other party must have obtained some definite evidence, otherwise, it would be impossible for Song Wen, a dignified Du Yuhou, to come and fight him in person. Such a joke.It's just that after a lot of intense thoughts in his heart, he still didn't draw out the sword.Since he was in the camp at this time, once he drew out his sword, even if he could really kill Song Wen, his end would be death.The more important reason was that Li Jing judged that Song Wen didn't seem to intend to deal with him.Otherwise, Song Wen didn't even need to come in person, but directly gave an order. There are more than 3000 people in the Dengzhou camp, and Li Jing can't fly with his wings.He let go of the handle of the knife, wanting to hear what Song Wen meant.

Song Wen sat on the ground and waved to Li Jing: "Sit casually, don't stand there, because I have to raise my head and talk to you when I say something."

Li Jing sat down at the side, "I don't know what Du Yuhou said. Feng Changshi was assassinated. Everyone in Dengzhou knows that it was the pirate town Donghai who did it, but Du Yuhou said it was done by me." , I am wronged to think highly of me even in a humble position, and a humble position is only a small general, how can I have the ability to kill Feng Changshi and his twenty capable servants?"

"On the surface, it seems that you really don't have this ability, but in fact you have this ability, and you have indeed done this." Song Wen looked sideways at Li Jing, and the glint in his eyes flashed.Li Jing's composure surprised even him.In fact, when Song Wen knew that Feng Yanqing had been killed, the first thing that came to his mind was that Cui Yunqing and Li Rui had killed Feng Yanqing.Because in Dengzhou, they are the only ones who have such a big feud with Feng.

Later, I went to the scene, although various signs showed that everything seemed to be done by Pirate Town Donghai.However, this result was overturned by him the next day. He had never heard of Zhen Donghai's enmity with Feng Yanqing. Even if there was enmity, Zhen Donghai was just a group of pirates. It was impossible for them to dare to come to Penglai so arrogantly. Assassinated Feng Yanqing and brutally beheaded more than [-] people. The heads were piled up in a Beijing temple and the corpses were thrown into the wilderness.

What's more, there are still many clues at the scene.Although the scene had been cleaned, many horseshoe marks were still found, indicating that those who assassinated Feng had many horses that night, and this was the biggest reason why none of Feng Yanqing's twenty or so people escaped.In addition, afterward, he specifically sought out the foreman who collected the corpses. According to the foreman, Feng Yanqing and the others were mostly dead before their heads were chopped off.The causes of death were different. Most of them were shot by arrows, and some wounds were punctured by spears. In addition, the wounds of several people were similar to spears but obviously different. It is inferred that they were struck by horses.And there are a few of the most tragic deaths, all killed by huge blunt barbed weapons. According to inference, they died of maces or maces.

Riding horses, spears, lances, maces or maces, these clues add up one by one, and Song Wen can't help but immediately suspect that Feng Yanqing and the others are the result of their deaths at the hands of pirates.Pirates even have horses, but they are at sea all year round, and they are most accustomed to short soldiers. It is impossible to use spears, or weapons such as horse lances, maces, and maces.

Both horses and war horses are expensive, pirates may have very few, and other bandits may have even less.What's more, it was found at the scene that many people died from bows and arrows, and there were many wounds showing that a large part of them were armored arrows used in the army.Judging from the equipment used by these people who ambushed Feng Yanqing, Song Wen, a veteran in the battlefield, immediately deduced that the people who ambushed Feng Yanqing were not pirates or bandits at all, they were most likely a well-equipped servant team.

He once again suspected that this matter was manipulated by Cui Yunqing and Li Rui behind the scenes, and a piece of news reported to him by Prison City Envoy Han Zhong made him more certain of his thoughts.Han Zhong reported to him that the Zhendonghai shock sticker found at the scene that day was a bit weird.Han Zhongjiu was in Penglai, and he also knew a little about the pirates in the East China Sea.As far as he knows, Zhendonghai does have shock stickers, but Zhendonghai's shock stickers have always been made of a brass sheet the size of a palm. A kill word.But the one I found that day was a wooden sign, and it was actually written with the word "Zhen" instead of "Zhen".

"The day Feng Yanqing was killed was the day when Yu Gong left his office. I remember that you left at about the same time as Feng Changshi, probably before the city gate was closed, but as far as I know, that Only 68 of the 32 soldiers from Rizuo Yidu returned to the camp before dark, and 32 did not return together. Later, the officer on duty confirmed that the [-] people did not return to the camp until dawn that day, including General Li. Tou and Coach Lin, Deputy Wang and Ten Generals, Zhang Yuhou and others included. But the next day at midnight, you all showed up, how do you explain it?"

He didn't wait for Li Jing to explain, and shook his hand: "The interesting thing is more than that. I remember that General Li has a horse lance in his hand, and Lin Wei and Lin Wu brothers each have a horse lance. He also has a pair of spikes in his hand. And if I remember correctly, these three horses and a pair of spikes were all won by fighting with Feng Liang, and it is precisely because of this that the Feng family It seems that the relationship with Lieutenant Li is very tense."

"In addition, guess what else I found? I found out that General Li kept a dozen horses at Lin Wei's home in the city. I also found out that Zuo Yidu used a lot of arrows in training a few days ago. , especially armor-shooting arrows. Also, on the second day after Uncle Feng Liang died, several united soldiers on the left were 'injured' during training..."

Every time Song Wen said something, Li Jing's complexion couldn't help changing.He thought that he had considered the matter of killing the seal very carefully, but he didn't expect that Song Wen would check it out one by one.But even so, he can only take one step at a time. Before he understands Song Wen's meaning, he can only hold on: "What Du Yuhou said seems to be related to two things, but maybe it's just a coincidence. Based on these, I'm afraid I can't conclude that Feng Yanqing was killed by me, right?"

"If you really want evidence, I can give you more. Or, to put it simply, directly interrogate the dozens of suspects separately. Do you think everyone will deny it like you do? "

Li Jing didn't speak, he was waiting for Song Wen's next topic.Everything was as Song Wen said, Song Wen didn't need any evidence at all, just relying on these, it was enough to kill Li Jing directly on the spot.What's more, even if Li Jing really wanted evidence, it was only a matter of minutes.But since Song Wen didn't arrest him immediately, but said such a big deal, he obviously had other plans.

Seeing Li Jing's still calm face at this time, Song Wen also seemed a little surprised, looked straight at Li Jing for a long time and said: "You are just a pawn in this matter, I am afraid there are people behind the scenes, is it Cui Shijun or King Zhao? Or both?"

Li Jing's eyelids twitched, he finally knew the purpose behind Song Wen's big call.A little Li Jing is obviously not in his eyes, his real goal is the Governor of Dengzhou and Dengzhou Biejia.Hearing this, Li Jing couldn't help becoming excited.If Song Wen believes that he is the one who killed him, then Li Jing and Cui Yunqing and Zhao Wang Li Rui can find a way to protect him.But once Cui Yunqing and Li Rui are involved, then Li Jing really can't protect anyone.

"This matter is all done by Li Jing alone, please don't talk about your mentor and King Zhao indiscriminately, Marquis Duyu."

"You don't have to be nervous!" Seeing that Li Jing was finally no longer so calm, Song Wen couldn't help showing a rare smile on his face.He thought he was not afraid of anything, but it turns out that everything has a limit. "Actually, I told you so much. I just want to tell you and your teachers. Although I, Song Wen, came to Dengzhou for the first time, I am not a fool. In fact, I also hate Feng Yanqing. If I kill him, I will kill him." Well, it's nothing special."

Li Jing was stunned for a moment, not understanding why Song Wen made such a 180-degree change?

"Actually, Jie Shuai has always admired Governor Cui and King Zhao, and of course Yu Gong. This time I come to Dengzhou, I urgently need to join forces with a few of them, but it seems that they are not interested in cooperating with me as a warrior. But that Feng Yan However, Qing always came to me like a fly and buzzed. Now that Feng Yanqing is dead, there is no obstacle between me and your teachers. I hope you will send a message to Cui Shishi, tonight I will There is a banquet in the mansion, and I hope Governor Cui will appreciate it." After saying this, he ignored Li Jing's dubious gaze, got up, patted his butt, waved his sleeves to greet the guard in the distance, and then he was in a good mood. left.

Li Jing kept watching Song Wen's figure go away, but in the end he still couldn't figure out what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.Could it be that Song Wen really didn't care about the deaths of Feng Yanqing and others, but instead wanted to join forces with Cui Yunqing and the others?
