Ji Ziyang has an unattractive appearance, but his medical skills are unexpectedly superb.

Xiao Suo was given the medicine prescribed by him, and he soon regained consciousness.Shen Yan jumped up and down until midnight, now sitting on the footrest, leaning against the edge of the bed and sleeping soundly.In his dream, his brows were still slightly furrowed.

The night rain has stopped for a while, and the morning light has not yet penetrated the clouds.The candles and embers in the house are extinguished, and the solitary smoke hangs on.A few gusts of wind seep in from the window, carrying the coolness soaked in water vapor.

Xiao Suo pulled the quilt, but before covering Shen Yan, he woke up.The bleary-eyed appearance does not have the aura of a general at all, but is extremely gentle and fragile.The corners of his eyebrows and eyes are slightly raised, like stretched out from a painting, there is no end to the description of romance and chic.

"You're awake!" Shen Yan didn't have his leisure time, so he got up and touched his forehead, "How do you feel, do you feel tired? The heat has receded, but his face is still not good. That bastard Li Jizong dare not directly lay down on you If you don’t want to be poisoned, you will have heavily dosed the medicines in your prescription. If you hadn’t checked the dregs of the medicine, you wouldn’t be able to see it right now. They jumped the wall in a hurry, fearing that you wouldn’t die, so they directly poisoned you last night! It’s okay I came back in time, otherwise your life will be gone!"

He sighed, and said again: "It's all my fault that the general didn't act well and offended Li Huaiyuan that day, otherwise he wouldn't hold a grudge and collude with those assassins to harm you!"

"General, don't blame yourself!" Xiao Suo pulled out a weak smile: "The students are fine, but they are just causing trouble for the general."

Shen Yan was slightly displeased, and said with a stern face: "If you say this, you are not allowed to say it again. You sleep a little longer, and I will call the doctor surnamed Ji." He tucked the quilt for him and walked out.

Xiao Suo watched him leave, looked at the bed curtain and sighed, as if he was sinking deeper and deeper.

Ji Ziyang came to check his pulse, said that the danger was over, and prescribed a prescription for recuperation.Naturally, Shen Yan didn't dare to be negligent, and hurriedly ordered someone to decoct the medicine.

The conscientious Ji Langzhong wanted to change Shen Yan's medicine again, and the general's hand was like a shofar attack, but he still couldn't hide it.Xiao Suo half propped up his body and asked, but he had no choice but to say a few perfunctory words, only saying that he suffered some minor injuries.

In fact, it was a minor injury for him. He had never suffered any injuries in the Southern and Northern Wars. He was cut twice on the shoulder and whipped on the back. It was not much different from a mosquito bite.

Xiao Suo didn't take it seriously, seeing the flesh around his wound turned out, he was startled and frightened, he felt quite sorry, he accompanied him to change the medicine and bandage, and then he lay down to recuperate in peace.

Shen Yan secretly smiled in his heart, feeling that his injury was really worth it.Thinking of this, he suddenly felt a little guilty for the sissy who had been interrogated by Chaifang all night.

Xiao Suo's head was groggy, but he couldn't fall asleep, chatting with Shen Yan casually.Seeing that he was in good spirits, Shen Yan ordered Eleven to report the results of last night's interrogation.

Yesterday Shen Yan alone supported the guards to reinforce them, and captured the group of assassins back to the mansion.The overnight interrogation on the eleventh day must have ended.Xiao Suo lost his mind last night, but he still doesn't know the cause and effect.

Eleven's face was very haggard, as if he had swallowed a fly.He shook his robe, handed a confession statement to Shen Yan, and said: "Master, this subordinate would rather go to guard the border than do this job anymore! That sissy is so disgusting! But his identity is very suspicious , the water here is not shallow!"

Shen Yan read the confession twice, his eyes widened, and he handed it to Xiao Suo, "Look, am I wrong..."

Xiao Suo took a look, couldn't help being surprised, and blurted out: "He said he was an iron-handed butcher, this person is an iron-handed butcher! How come, isn't he dead?"

General Shen scratched his head, and asked Eleven: "Could it be that you can't cheat the corpse? If this is a ghost, it's justified for a sissy to have such virtues!"

Eleven frowned and said, "This subordinate can't believe it either. But he was wearing gloves. I took them off and looked at them. There is no doubt that he was slaughtered with iron hands! He gritted his teeth and refused to talk about what happened back then no matter how much he asked. Instead, I vomited this incident."

"So..." Shen Yan rubbed the bridge of his nose, "Did he swindle his death back then? This case was investigated by Chen Ji at first, and he also arrested the relevant persons involved. You can't get away from him!"

Xiao Suo hesitated: "Or maybe he faked his death that day, Chen Jigu didn't know about it, and it's unknown."

"Impossible!" Shen Yan waved his hand. "This kind of big case that alarmed Dali Temple and the Ministry of Criminal Justice, even if the bandit leader died, his body should be sent to Beijing for examination. If he faked his death, he would definitely be found."

Besides, he had already read Yan Jun's reply letter, and it said everything in just four words——Wei Lan must have refused to tell him the inside story.In terms of the relationship between Yan Jun and Wei Lan, even he couldn't find out the truth, which shows that there is a lot involved.

Eleventh said: "That sissy woman is not allowed to get in, no matter how my subordinates ask, he won't say anything!"

Shen Yan frowned, and said: "He confessed to the crime he committed, but kept silent about the escape. It can be seen that this thief is not afraid of adding crimes to himself, but wants to protect the people who helped him escape According to this general, this person is undoubtedly Chen Jigu!"

Eleven said again: "By the way, Iron Hand Man Tu has dragonfly tattoos on his body. He is with those assassins. They should all be the killers of Happy Hall!"

Shen Yan nodded and said nothing, this matter became more and more unpredictable.Why did Chen Jigu protect Tieshou Rentu, and what is the relationship between him and Ruyitang?

Xiao Suo suddenly said: "General, the student remembered something. Since the body of the Iron Hand Man Tu was sent to the capital, it can be seen that although he is not dead, someone else must have died to replace him. Let's go to the government office to check the identity of the deceased. Record the file, maybe we can find out some clues."

Shen Yan thought so, and after two days, after Xiao Suo recovered, he went to the government office again.He didn't go for a few days, and the people in the government office thought he was just a whim, but in fact he was impatient to read the paperwork, he was tired of it these few days, so he didn't go anymore.

So when Shen Yan returned to the government office, no one expected it, and they were caught off guard.Not only did King Zhang not be free, but even Chen Jigu, the Futai, went to Yunzhong County in the south of Zhuoyang for inspection.

Shen Yan was overjoyed, finally made him wait for a good opportunity, proud of himself, and secretly scolded Chen Jigu for being stupid - he didn't stay in the mansion to watch them carefully, but went out to have fun.

The dossier of the government office is huge, and most of the archives of Yuezhou Prefecture and Zhuoyang County are kept here.Xiao Suo moved over the records of Yongyan's second year and checked them carefully from beginning to end, but found nothing wrong.

Shen Yan also helped to search, leaned beside him, and told the guards: "Don't check those who died of old age or illness, just check those middle-aged men who died unexpectedly. Copy them all, and then go to their house to find out. "

Everyone agreed, and checked from morning to afternoon, but found no flaws.

Shen Yan rubbed the sun, threw a thick book in his hand on the ground, and cursed: "These damn bastards, how can this be done by humans!"

It might as well let him pick up a knife and kill a thief!

"My lord is right, these words are deliberately embarrassing!" Eleven handed over a cup of tea thoughtfully, "Calm down, drink a cup of tea and check before it's too late!"

Xiao Suo was a little discouraged at first, seeing him so irritable and annoyed, he couldn't help pursing his lips and snickering.Shen Yan stroked the lid of the tea, and brought the cup to his lips.Xiao Suo's face turned red, he quickly dodged and said: "Students don't dare, the general will drink it himself."

Shen Yan didn't care about 21, and forced him to take a sip before taking it back to drink himself.

Xiao Suo was interrupted by him, he couldn't tell which page of the file he had turned to, so he could only flip through it aimlessly.This search actually turned up a strange record for him.

"Look, general." His slender index finger touched the yellowed paper, "here it is said that in the winter of the second year of Yongyan, there was an epidemic in Zhuoyang, and nearly a hundred people died at once. The names of the deceased recorded here, students Remember, it seems to have appeared in the account books of the county government."

Shen Yan hurriedly ordered Eleven to take the secret decree to the county government to adjust the account books, and asked: "If there is an epidemic, how would you not know it? Could it be a cover?"

Xiao Suo shook his head and said: "There should be. In the fall of the second year of Yongyan, not long after he took the throne, the emperor vigorously selected talents, ordered all states and counties in the world to be filial and honest, and recommended scholars with good moral character but failed to pass the exam to Beijing. En Zhunjing Central Tribute Academy opened a subject examination and specially recruited a group of supervising students. The students went to Beijing to take the examination at that time, but they were not in Zhuoyang, and it was already the spring of the following year when they returned.”

Shen Yan took the record, glanced at it roughly, and said: "It is indeed wrong. Even if there is a seasonal epidemic, the sick should be more frail, elderly, women and children. But the people who died of the epidemic on this record are not They're all young men. That doesn't make sense either."

Xiao Suo immediately brought a pen and paper to record the names of all the victims of the epidemic.But Shen Yan rolled the record file into his sleeve and said: "Why bother, just take it away."

"Taking files out of the library without permission is a serious crime!" Xiao Suo held a pen, with a look of surprise and innocence.

Shen Yan smiled, couldn't help pinching his face, and said: "What are you afraid of, I have an imperial decree here, take it! Besides, this record is stamped with Chen Jigu's official seal, which is the first-hand evidence. If you stay here, one day you will accidentally send out water or fire, but it will be gone!"

"The general is thoughtful!"

Xiao Suo nodded sincerely, and went back home with him.Eleven has brought the account books of recent years and is waiting in the mansion.The two went back and couldn't take care of others, so they immediately started to search, and found that the nearly one hundred people who died of the epidemic had never canceled their household registration, and they were receiving gifts from the court every year.

Seeing that the investigation of this case is getting bigger and bigger, Shen Yan is afraid that Chen Jigu will find out that the file is lost, knowing that he has found out his handle, he jumps over the wall in a hurry to kill again.So that night, he sent people to visit the homes of the victims of the epidemic.

Eleven led people to go and return quickly, but they came back at Haishi.

According to the family members of the victims, they have never seen their family members infected with the epidemic.At the beginning, the government government levied labor and went to Zhuo River to repair the embankment.Unexpectedly, within a few days, news came from the county government that the epidemic broke out in the labor camp and many people died.

Chen Jigu of the Futai ordered that the epidemic was so severe this time, and for fear of contagion, the corpses of the deceased were all burned and not transported back to the county.Although the family members of the deceased were reluctant, they all knew that the epidemic was severe and were afraid of infection, so no one questioned the government's approach.

Xiao Suo said: "The fake corpse that was slaughtered by the iron hand man back then may be one of those who were infected with the epidemic inexplicably."

"Not only." Shen Yan shook his head, "Actually, the scope can be expanded."

Eleven blinked and asked, "You mean, the accomplices you caught back then were all fake, and this is actually a trick to get rid of the shell?"

Shen Yan nodded: "It should be, otherwise there is no need to make such a big deal for falsely claiming gift money. So many people died, if it is not handled properly, it may trigger a civil uprising. Back then, there was an uprising in Dianzhou, and the court Sending troops to suppress the rebellion was caused by soldiers on the frontier killing good men and taking meritorious deeds! If it was just for some money, Chen Jigu would not have taken such a big risk. It must have been to save the lives of those killers. Receiving money should be a matter of smooth sailing."

Xiao Suo was puzzled: "But why did Chen Jigu put so much effort into saving those assassins?"
