The salted fish script was played by me [Transmigration Book]

"What's wrong?"

"It's hard to say, anyway, something is wrong."

"..."

He Yanzhi was silent, and Yubai tapped twice on the table with his fingertips: "Get ready, the time has come."

Jiang Beihai was tied up cooperatively, and before he was taken out, he suddenly remembered something, and asked He Yanzhi: "You haven't told me about others, did you get tied up or ran away? How did he find it? Did he bring any helpers?" Ah, what on earth was he thinking?"

Facing so many questions, He Yanzhi blinked and said frankly: "Oh, I lied to you."

As he said that, he opened the door, and the yamen servants outside came in to carry Jiang Beihai, but they were surprised to find that he was still alive.

Jiang Beihai froze in place, and it took him a while to come back to his senses, and then burst out laughing.

The yamen servants were frightened by his appearance and did not dare to move forward, and they hurriedly carried him away after He Yanzhi spoke.

Back in the hall, the yamen servants reported the results of the interrogation, saying that Jiang Beihai had a hysterical attack and laughed wildly, so the magistrate asked them to detain him first.

The magistrate looked at the person standing aside: "Yanzhi, what did you ask?"

He Yanzhi forgot about taking a nap, and will report it after a while.

After the magistrate heard this, he called Yang Kuan over: "You search the place Yanzhi said, and you must find the thief from the Chijin gang, Yanzhi, you go with him."

"Yes."

The two took the tokens, left the Yamen with nearly thirty arresters, and went straight to Baoque Mountain and Waterway.

He Yanzhi and Yang Kuan rode in front alone on a horse, causing a lot of commotion in the passing places, and the people hid on both sides of the road to give way to the spacious road.

Yang Kuan reined in the reins, moved the horse's head to He Yanzhi's side, and walked side by side with him.

"Brother He, look, in the past these people couldn't see us without scaring us twice, but now we ride horses and lead people, and they consciously avoid it. It seems that if you want to be respected, you have to be a high official."

Xu Shi felt a different atmosphere, and the horse under him slowed down unconsciously.He Yanzhi squeezed the horse's belly hard, looked at Yang Kuan: "Do you want to be a high official?"

Yang Kuan laughed and said: "That's natural, it's great to be a high official! Like the magistrate, it's so magnificent to go out and sit in a sedan chair to avoid others!"

He Yanzhi said: "That's all?"

Yang Kuan shook his head: "If I were to be an official, the thieves must be caught! And those bastards who fight and steal will be thrown into prison to copy books. Books are the most annoying thing. Let them I got dizzy from copying, so I didn’t have the time to sneak around..."

He Yanzhi quietly listened to him talk about what happened after he became an official, looked ahead, and suddenly saw a familiar face among the crowd gathered by the common people.

The more Yang Kuan talked, the more excited he was, he wanted to jump off the horse and make some gestures, but he didn't notice a person jumping out from the horse at all.

He Yanzhi reached out to hold the rein for him, and the horse immediately raised its upper body and neighed. Yang Kuan was so frightened that he hugged the horse's neck tightly: "Who is it? Who doesn't have eyes that hurt me?!"

He Yanzhi let go of the rein and looked at the person who came: "Master Chen, what's the matter?"

Master Chen is getting old, so he didn't know he would bump into Yang Kuan, and the horse frightened him a lot. He calmed down and said to He Yanzhi: "It's like this... the weather is getting colder these days, so my brother's clothes are thin , can I trouble Guan Ye to send you some warm clothes."

Yang Kuan managed to stabilize the horse, and when he heard that it was such a trivial matter, he said dissatisfied: "You didn't say this earlier, you have to pick this time to scare me!"

Master Chen apologized again and again, He Yanzhi dismounted and handed Master Chen the money: "The case is urgent, Master Lao will prepare some clothes for me and send them to me."

"I dare not dare, but there is still something I want to tell the official, my younger brother and the students in the courtyard..." Master Chen still wanted to talk about Xiao Hongyin and Wang Dafu, but seeing that He Yan and the others were really in a hurry to investigate the case, it was hard to think about it. It was not Xiao Hongyin's fault, so he swallowed the words back.

In order not to cause commotion, He Yanzhi and Yang Kuan asked the police to follow up by themselves, and the two hurried to Baoque Mountain first.

Walking along the river, the water banks on both sides gradually get closer. When you reach the belly of Baoque Mountain, the waterway can barely accommodate two transport ships in parallel.

In this way, they had to bypass the mountain wall.

The mountains are cold and foggy.

Thick white mist shrouded the gray-green mountains, and because it was late autumn, it gave people a sense of desolation and desolation.

He Yanzhi and Yang Kuan went straight into the foggy forest, and within a few steps, they were forced by the sharp branches and couldn't move forward, so they had to leave their horses outside.

"I can't see the way at all, how can I find it?" Yang Kuan was stabbed several times by the unexpected branch, and he drew out his knife impatiently and slashed.

"listen."

He Yanzhi told him to silence, and closed his eyes to listen to the sound of water flowing.

There is a faint sound of water in the dense forest, almost indistinguishable

Yang Kuan didn't hear the reason for a long time, and was about to speak, but saw He Yanzhi pointing to a direction, striding forward.

The time in the forest passed slowly like water, He Yanzhi led the way silently, Yang Kuan only felt that he had been walking for several years.

He couldn't help yawning, and was about to yawn when He Yanzhi stopped in time.

"arrive."

When the two walked out of the forest, their eyes suddenly became clear, and the water channel that had disappeared before reappeared in front of them.

The sun shines into the hinterland, dispelling part of the fog.

He Yanzhi walked to the river, and saw the weapons scattered on both sides of the river, and the messy footprints on the bank.

"The yamen sent people to search before, and all the corpses were moved back." Yang Kuan came to him and stood still.

He Yanzhi looked at the surrounding terrain and said, "Did you find anything?"

Both sides of the waterway are blocked by mountain walls and dense forests, extending in a belt shape.The mountain wall is straight and steep, and there are no exits around.

"I found a red scarf and sent someone to check it out. It seems that it came from a gang called the Red Scarf."

Speaking of the Red Scarf Gang, Yang Kuan frowned: "There are very few records of this Shilaozi Gang, and their whereabouts are erratic on weekdays. They rob the government today and kill farmers tomorrow. There is no law at all. I don't know who the leader is, how many people are in the gang, and how powerful it is. I have been a policeman for all these years, and I have never seen such a difficult thing to deal with."

He Yanzhi thought for a while, came to the downstream of this section of waterway, stared at the water for a while, and beckoned Yang Kuan to come over.

"Brother He?"

"There's something in the water."

He Yanzhi signaled Yang Kuan to go into the water and touch along the direction of the water flow.

Yang Kuan jumped down without thinking, and groped in the water with his two small hands according to He Yanzhi's instructions.

Putting aside the entangled water plants, Yang Kuan suddenly touched a soft unknown object, and said pleasantly, "Hey, there is really something."

He grabbed the object vigorously, but he didn't bring it up. The small object seemed to be connected to a large object.

So Yang Kuan gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, lifted the whole thing underneath with both hands, and threw it to the shore.

When he opened his eyes again, he saw that it was a man's body.

"That's why I grabbed a man's hand just now? Bah, bah, bah!"

Yang Kuan thought it was bad luck, so he rubbed his hands in the water desperately.

With a red turban tied on his head, he looked like a member of the Red Scarf Gang.As soon as the edematous corpse reached the shore, it gave off a stench. He Yanzhi squatted down in front of the corpse regardless of his nausea.

Yang Kuan cursed and went ashore, seeing He Yanzhi rummaging through the corpse, he quickly found a wooden sign from his waist.

"What is this for?" Yang Kuan asked suspiciously.

The wooden sign looks like a fish, with several vertical and horizontal lines engraved on it to act as fish scales. The workmanship is rough and the shape is weird.

"It should be a token for contact." He Yanzhi thought for a while and said, "An organization like theirs whose whereabouts are uncertain must have an informant."

Yang Kuan agreed: "Then let's take this thing and walk around the street a few times, and let the informant come to us."

"No." He Yanzhi: "If they can show up at will like this, we won't be able to mention the Red Scarf Gang and just ask three questions."

Yang Kuan smiled shyly, and said, "I'm just trying to liven up the atmosphere, Brother He must have a good idea."

He Yanzhi glanced at him sideways: "I don't have any good ideas, but I can let people check the shops in the city."

"How to check?" Yang Kuan asked curiously, He Yanzhi asked him to put away the wooden sign and leave here first.

The two retreated to the dense forest, and the fog in the forest dissipated a lot compared to before, and He Yanzhi and Yang Kuan walked much faster.

As soon as Yang Kuan changed his previous boredom, he walked through the overgrown branches flexibly, his speed was a little faster than He Yanzhi, and he spontaneously led the way.

Suddenly, He Yanzhi called Yang Kuan.

The two stopped.

"..."

Yang Kuan was about to ask about the situation, but He Yanzhi motioned him to look to the right.

In the bushes half as tall as a person, a black head half poked out, looking towards them.

Yang Kuan immediately understood that someone was following him, and made a gesture to ask if he wanted to chase him. He Yanzhi nodded. Yang Kuan was about to draw his knife, but He Yanzhi immediately used his lightness kung fu, jumped up from the ground, stepped on the tree trunk and quickly swept towards the person. .

The man realized that he was exposed, so he rushed out of the bushes and ran back. He Yanzhi chased him very fast, and he caught up behind him in the blink of an eye.

He Yanzhi stretched out his arm to catch it, but the man was extremely agile, he dodged the blow and disappeared into the pile of rocks.

"Brother He, wait for me, where is the thief going!"

Yang Kuan managed to catch up, seeing He Yanzhi standing still, holding a piece of blue cloth in his hand, he regretfully said: "Damn, this grandson runs so fast!"

Although He Yanzhi was not happy, but there was no expression on his face, he said coldly: "Go back first."

After getting out of the dense forest, finding the horses, and meeting up with the baffled policemen, He Yanzhi said: "Search the stores in the city that earn little money but are still doing business, and focus on those who are neglected."

The policemen got the order and immediately started to investigate. He Yanzhi and Yang Kuan went back to the yamen, reported today's incident, and went to the cell to see Jiang Beihai. Early the next morning, the policemen reported the results to the two.

He Yanzhi picked out four suspicious places, and Yang Kuan and Yang Kuan led people to investigate separately.

Perhaps because of the rain, the sky was gloomy, and the autumn wind passed by, causing a shiver.

There were very few pedestrians on the street, and He Yanzhi led a large group of people walking on the road, which seemed particularly prominent.

"Scatter the investigation, don't startle the snake."

The policemen dispersed separately, He Yanzhi went into the restaurant to order a pot of wine, and wandered slowly in the street.

He didn't intend to wait for the policemen's report, because the real contact station was not on the list. The reason why he did this was to attract the attention of the other party.

He Yanzhi lifted the jug, opened his mouth and poured himself half of the jug of wine, and walked to the most prosperous part of the city with his slightly drunk and flushed face.

He walked aimlessly on the street, his corner of the eye glanced at the shops on both sides.

Because the business was deserted, the people inside were guarding the door, all listlessly staring in a daze.

He Yanzhi couldn't see anything unusual. When he looked away, two strange people suddenly appeared in the narrow alley behind him. They looked dignified and looked around, as if they were looking for something.

He Yanzhi deliberately slowed down, trying to listen carefully to their conversation, but someone bumped into him the next moment.

"Brother Yan!"

Xiao Hongyin panted heavily, with surprise on his face, and whispered to He Yanzhi.
