Chapter 62: You're just calling me Second Master? "If it is really as Mr. Liu predicted, then today, the flag bearer of Wuchang should also hide in the carriage and leave the city together." Deputy Commander Gu said slowly: "Then return to the city openly and completely clear yourself of suspicion." Meng Lu was about to speak, but he couldn't help but turn his head to look at the street not far away. A small flag named Lin Yan was already driving the Linjiang Division's carriage and was slowly approaching. "So what now?" Meng Lu couldn't help but ask. "It's not easy to offend either family." Deputy Commander Gu said, "Let's go patrol the city." - Lin Yan drove the carriage forward. In his mind, he couldn't help but recall that half a quarter of an hour ago, he went to Linjiangsi and prepared to ride out of the city.
Yang Zhubu and others all had strange looks on their faces. Obviously, he had learned about Liang Hu's suicide, and he probably guessed the truth behind it, which might not be simple. When I think back to yesterday afternoon, when Fifth Master chopped Liang Hu with a knife, my imagination runs wild. But everyone knew that the flag bearer of Linjiang Division, Wuchang, had not returned to the city. Anyway, Lin Yan asked himself that there was no suspicion in this matter. What's more, the Liu family has already made a final conclusion: Liang Hu, who was shot in the back and stabbed in the heart, and the old servant of the Liu family who was shot in the throat and then had his head cut off, all committed suicide! "..." When Lin Yan arrived at the city gate, he saw the soldiers guarding the city coming to investigate. It is also common sense for soldiers to conduct searches when entering or leaving the city. This time the search was more thorough than in the past. But if we consider the recent frequent occurrences of evil incidents and people's unrest, there doesn't seem to be anything unusual. But Lin Yan keenly noticed that the captain of the city gate who was in charge had a rather unfriendly expression. "Captain Wu, we've checked it and there's nothing wrong." A soldier stepped forward and said in a low voice. "Ah." Captain Wu's eyes narrowed slightly, but he did not let the carriage go. He just looked at Lin Yan deeply and sizing him up. He seemed to be thinking about how to embarrass this small flag of Linjiang Division. Several soldiers nearby looked at each other and dared not say anything more. This Captain Wu was also cultivated by the Liu family. When he was young, he worked in the Liu family's salt factory. Later, because of his good family background, he was selected by the Liu family to go to the inner city, where he was taught martial arts and worked as a security guard for several years. After he turned thirty, he was appreciated and sent to the Outer South Yamen, where he was incorporated into the city defense army. He was promoted to captain in just three years.
"Xiao Wu, let them go. There is a caravan behind us that needs to travel. Don't delay others." A voice came from the city wall, the tone was calm and gentle. Lin Yan slowly raised his head and looked upwards. What came towards me was a cup of tea. He turned his head to the side and dodged. But some tea still fell onto the carriage and splashed a few drops onto Lin Yan's face. "Oops, I'm sorry, my hand slipped and I couldn't hold the cup firmly." Master Liu looked down, his eyes full of coldness and indifference. Lin Yan gently wiped off the two drops of water stains, but did not say anything. As a small flag with little influence, he just whipped the horse and drove out of the city. But Captain Wu at the city gate raised his head and shook his head slightly. "I put water on my face and wiped it twice, but there was no change. I couldn't see any clues." "This is not a disguised face." "..." Master Liu withdrew his gaze and frowned slightly. At this moment, Deputy Commander Gu came over and said, "Second Master probably misunderstood. What happened last night has nothing to do with Fifth Master of Linjiang Division." "What happened last night?" Mr. Liu laughed, but his eyes did not look very satisfied. He originally guessed that it was Wuchang, the flag-bearing general of Linjiang Division, who was hiding in the car. But he found no traces on the car, so he remembered something. It is said that before this killer Wuchang succeeded as the flag bearer, he had received a book on "disguise" in the Tianshi Department for his meritorious service. So he guessed that perhaps this Impermanence Flag Bearer had disguised himself to look like Lin Yan. Now it seems that this Lin Yan is the genuine article. In this case, Wuchang might have really been outside the city last night. "No, he has another skill." Master Liu thought to himself, "This Wuchang once made a paper man to attract the criminal, and finally he was able to lure the criminal out and capture him in one fell swoop!" "Yesterday, Deputy Commander Gu did not conduct a thorough investigation. He just saw a figure through the curtain and concluded that Wu Chang was in the car!" "If this is the case, then the person in the car at the time might not have been a paper figure." "If that's the case, then Wuchang has been in the city since yesterday until this moment!" "If that's the case, then when this carriage returns to the city, the impermanence inside the carriage must also be a paper figure!"
Master Liu thought so, and said to himself: "If the impermanence in the car is not a paper man, then it can only prove that he is not the murderer! Then the person who assassinated Liang Hu and Cun Bo yesterday must be someone else..." - It's noon. Linjiangsi's carriage finally returned to the city. Looking into the distance, Mr. Liu looked solemn, with a hint of anticipation. But as it got closer, my heart sank. Because at this moment, the one driving the car was not the small flag bearer Lin Yan, but the new flag bearer Wuchang of Linjiang Division. "Was he really out of town last night?" Master Liu whispered, his brows furrowed. After a moment, Master Liu tilted his head to look at Captain Wu and whispered, "Maybe it was Xiaoqi Lin Yan pretending to be him. Why don't we check him out?" "..." Captain Wu's face turned pale immediately. If it's Xiaoqi Lin Yan, it doesn't matter how we investigate. But this is the notorious Fifth Master! It would be fine if it was really the flag bearer Lin Yan in disguise, but if it was the real flag bearer Wuchang, wouldn't he be chopped down with one sword? "Second Master, it seems to be true. It seems that what happened last night has nothing to do with Linjiang Division. Why not just let it go without causing any trouble?" "Let's not talk about what happened last night. Yesterday afternoon, he beheaded Liu Yi, which was a slap in the face of the Liu family." Master Liu said slowly: "I will not let this matter go." As soon as the voice fell, it was discovered that the Linjiangsi's carriage had stopped at the city gate. The flag bearer got off the carriage and climbed up the steps to the city wall. "Ok?" Master Liu's expression was slightly solemn. At this moment, Captain Wu stepped forward and saluted, saying, "Fifth Master..." Snap! Then Captain Wu was slapped in the face and fell to the side. He felt the world spinning and was about to get up, but then he remembered something and became panicked. He quickly closed his eyes and let himself pass out. The second master of the Liu family looked at the flag-bearer of the Linjiang Division who strode up to him. Judging from this slap, it was obviously not the small flag bearer Lin Yan, but the real flag bearer Wuchang! "It is said that you should not hit a smiling person. As the flag bearer of Linjiang Division and the captain in charge of the city defense, you are so reckless. You are..." Master Liu sneered, put his hands behind his back, and was about to scold.
Then I saw a palm suddenly grow bigger in front of my eyes. Snap! The sky is dark and the earth is dark! Before he could raise his head, a sheathed knife hit him in the face. I was so dizzy from taking the photos that I saw stars. "You're the fucking Second Master?" Lin Yan looked down and said expressionlessly: "Who gave you the courage to bully me?" (End of this chapter)
