Chapter 225 Heyuan Station
At the beginning of Xia, he bought a random set of clothes from a clothing estimate stall, hid his head-hunting outfit, and went to Pingguangmen.Min Feng was already waiting there, and he got two fine horses from somewhere, and they looked more powerful than the yellow horse that Xia Chu rode last time.At the beginning of Xia Xia, there were still some drums that he couldn't control, but after running, he realized that this good horse was much more comfortable than ordinary horses.Similar to the difference between a good car and a scooter.

Heyuan is located about a hundred miles east of Xijing, not far from Dongling Mountain, and after a while is the imperial mausoleum on the mountain.All the way along the plain official road, it doesn't take much effort to run a horse, but that's because horses don't need effort, and people don't necessarily have to.

Ma Haoluping, but even so, Xia Chu still felt strenuous in the second half of the run, his legs hurt from the single frequency, and he hated himself for not having a pair of riding boots.Gritting his teeth, he persisted until heyuan, his legs trembling after dismounting.

"Okay?" Min Feng asked her.

"Very good." Xia Chu bent his waist, crossed his legs and nodded firmly. "Master Yao has sent people here after the incident. I guess they are Zhong Fuming's cronies in all likelihood. They know me, so they have to avoid asking. I was thinking about this on the way. I don't know if Brother Min has There is no sweat medicine or anything, just knock them down first, or..."

Min Feng thought in his heart that this girl has dark hands, and the way of knocking down whoever blocks her is really a bit violent.He tied Xia Chu's horse by the side of the road, hit his own horse's butt with his backhand, and waited for the horse to run away before saying: "No need, the emperor is also investigating the case."

Xia Chu couldn't understand what Min Feng meant all of a sudden, and blinked at him.Min Feng took out the waist card, "It's only natural to ask questions."

Xia Chu turned his mind a few times before he understood, and couldn't help but smiled wryly: "Brother Min means that the emperor is also investigating these murder cases, so it is reasonable to send a royal guard to investigate. In other words, these few Is it up to you to ask a soldier?" Seeing Min Feng nodding, Xia Chu said, "Then why am I here?"

"Sneak in later." After Min Feng finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the station.Xia Chu was stunned for a moment, and followed him a few steps, "You..., your words are too concise, it takes a lot of thinking."

Min Feng entered the post station, and the arresters from the government office were indeed there, he flashed his waist badge to drive them away, found a room and brought the four soldiers in.

Two of the four soldiers were from the Gyeonggi Battalion, and two were soldiers of the Jiang family.Now that the people in front of the imperial court came to ask in person, they just felt that a big disaster was imminent, and they all had pale faces and dared not speak.

Min Feng sat in the room without speaking, which made them even more nervous. After a while, someone coughed outside the window.Min Feng moved the corners of his lips, "Come in."

Immediately afterwards, under the astonished expressions of several people, Xia Chu neatly turned in from the window.He went into the house and dusted off his body, glanced at the four soldiers, and said coldly, "What did you see?"

The little soldiers didn't know where the song was coming from, so they were dumbfounded and didn't speak. Someone came back cleverly, stepped forward and shook his head violently, "I didn't see anything!" He stretched out his arm and pointed at Min Feng, "There is only this lord in the house from beginning to end!"

Only then did the other three understand, and hurriedly followed suit and stood up, saying in unison: "This is the only one in the room!"

"Keep down!" Xia Chu hurriedly pressed down with his hand, glared, and said in a low voice, "Talk to me in a low voice! I'll ask about the case. If you dare to leak a little information afterwards, no matter who leaked it, four Do not live!"

The four looked at each other, looking at each other with a bit of vigilance and distrust in their eyes.Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Xia Chu went to the edge of the chair and sat down, straight to the point: "Tell me everything that happened the night Sun Youliang died."

She pointed to the clever one, "You speak first."

"Yes!" The soldier named Qi Dahai responded loudly, then quickly covered his mouth and lowered his voice, "Oh..., hero, we rested at the post that night, and Sun Youliang was locked in the corner room. There are no windows. We ate in the courtyard and drank a few sips of wine. Brother Xiang went to have a look after dark, and he heard him shouting there after a while. Sun Youliang was already dead when we rushed over."

"What is he shouting?"

"It doesn't sound real, it seems to be a murder, come here quickly or something."

Xia Chu restored the scene in his mind, and asked him, "Did he go there alone? Was there no one guarding the corner room?"

"Yes." Qi Dahai nodded, sucked his nose heavily, and said, "Hu Jinshan was supposed to be on duty in the first half of the night that day, and he... died too."

"Have you seen Sun Youliang's body?"

"I see." The soldiers all nodded, and one of them said: "The neck was almost cut off, and the blood flowed all over the place. I opened my eyes, and I was very scared."

so ruthless?At the beginning of Xia, imagine the scene at that time. In a dark hut, a person’s head and body are only connected to half of the neck. He is wounded, bleeding, and his eyes are still open. He can’t help feeling a little cold on his back, “Where is that Hu Jinshan? ? The neck was cut too?"

"No." Qi Dahai took the words and said, "Hu Jinshan was not injured, he just collapsed at the door of the corner room. We only found out that he was dead later, at first we thought he just passed out."

"No injury? How did he die without injury?" Xia Chu asked.

"It's not uninjured." The other leaned forward and said, "When I was tidying up Hu Jinshan's body, there was a purple blush on his neck. Was he strangled to death? His neck was stuck and he couldn't make a sound, or else We already knew something was wrong there."

"That's also possible." Qi Dahai nodded.Xia Chu asked, "Is there no autopsy?"

Several people shook their heads in unison, Qi Hai said: "The police from the capital government office are here, so they looked at the corpse, asked us when the accident happened, and whether anyone saw the murderer, but didn't say anything else."

"Did you see it?"

"No." Several people shook their heads again, "Brother Xiang passed by early, he should have seen it. He asked us to guard the scene and go after him."

"What about others?"

"Didn't come back." Qi Dahai sighed again, "It's been a few days, no matter if he catches up or not, he should have come back long ago, so it's probably a bad luck."

Chu Xia felt puzzled and habitually looked back.But this time she looked back and saw Min Feng, who didn't have any communication with her like Jiang Xiyuan did, but just sat with a calm expression, as if everything had nothing to do with him.

Xia Chu felt a little flustered, so he had to swallow back what he wanted to say, and then asked Qi Dahai, "Who is this big brother?"

"Brother Xiang's name is Xiang Qing, and he is the chief of the Qianwei of the Gyeonggi Battalion. This time, he escorted Sun Youliang under the leadership of Brother Xiang. The whole journey went smoothly. We just wanted to prevent Sun Youliang from cutting himself off. Who would have thought..." Qi Dahai was annoyed He thumped the palm of his hand, "It seems that we are about to reach the capital, but we ended up with such a result. We..., I'm afraid we won't get well."

"Yes, my lord, hero, will we be dealt with by the military law?" A soldier asked weakly, with a bit of tears, "Then it would be better to die in Qingcheng County, and earn some pension for the family .”

Xia Chu didn't know either, but she still had to ask about the case, so she could only say, "No, it's a dereliction of duty at most. It's okay, it's okay."

Several people breathed a sigh of relief, and went straight to thank Xia Chu.Xia Chu felt a little ashamed, and said with a dry smile: "How is Xiang Qing usually?"

"Very good." Qi Dahai said: "I am a soldier of the Jiang family. I have only been in contact with Brother Xiang for a few days. He is older than us and takes good care of us." A soldier who will not be dealt with by military law, "He is a soldier under Brother Xiang."

The little soldier hurriedly said: "Brother Xiang is from Liangcheng. He is married to a daughter-in-law. His family is poor and he came to accept the recruitment." I'm back home, now I don't see anyone alive or dead, that whole family, it's like the sky is falling..."

Xia Chu asked about Xiang Qing's appearance and the clothes he was wearing, so there was nothing more to ask.She got up and patted Qi Haihai on the shoulder, "Okay, take care of your own safety. Don't miss today's matter, otherwise no one will be able to protect you, understand?"

"Yes!" Several soldiers responded in unison with a shudder.

At the beginning of Xia, he asked Min Feng to take a look at the corner room where the accident happened, and then he went out of the window again, quietly went to the place where the horse was tied and waited.Seeing a lot of footprints on the ground, he smiled secretly, and said that Min Feng is a big man with a really careful heart. Fortunately, he drove away a horse before, otherwise he would have been ruined by now.

After waiting for a while, Min Feng came back, whistled with his fingers, and the horse that ran away alone came back.The two got on their horses and walked towards Xijing. Xia Chu's legs were so painful that he couldn't hold the horse, and his speed was much slower than when he came. A blatant disdain for early summer riding.

"Brother Min, is there anything suspicious about that corner room?" Xia Chu asked him.

"Very clean."

"It means, have you cleaned it?" Xia Chu translated Min Feng's words and asked for proof. Seeing Min Feng nodded, he continued: "It seems that the incident happened like this. The murderer sneaked into the post station. , first killed the guard Hu Jinshan, and then went into the house and killed Sun Youliang. At this time, Xiang Qing came and ran into him, so he called someone and ran out to chase the murderer."

Min Feng nodded, and glanced at Xia Chu casually, obviously not taking her words seriously, which made Xia Chu feel very unfulfilling, although these words were indeed not that important.

She was silent for a while, grasped the rein tightly and breathed a sigh of relief, and said to herself, "Hu Jinshan was strangled to death, so as to prevent him from making a sound. Then why did you cut Sun Youliang like that? Why bother? As for the modus operandi, it’s over if you strangle him to death?”

"Repeat offenders wear shackles." Min Feng said lightly.
