For several days, Shi Xun was tortured, but no one had said a word to him. Shi Xun Xun's vigilance and anxiety at the beginning gradually began to collapse and despair, until he could not control his roaring and yelling. Finally, someone began to ask him. Instead of asking him what bad things he had done and where to hide his money, he chatted with him like a gossiper.

Two days later, Yu Xing took a thick stack of records to Xiao Jiu. After looking through them carefully, Xiao Jiu drew out several names for Yu Xing to send people to investigate in detail.

Yu Xing was puzzled and asked: "big boss, Shi Chong has already prepared the ransom. Why don't we inform him of the place of delivery, instead of interrogating Shi Xun back and forth? What do you see in these questions? "

Small nine meaningful way: "the highest level of interrogation is to defeat the psychological defense line of criminals, let him unknowingly reveal information.". If what I expect is not bad, you can pick out the bottom of the story after checking these people. "

"What are you doing with him? Are we not for silver? " Yu Xing was confused.

"Xiaojiu said with a sigh:" Yuxing, people live a little higher and pursue further. Don't you think it's much more interesting to dig out his background than to make a pile of gold and silver

Yu Xing shook his head without hesitation and said, "I don't think so!"

Small nine with incurable eyes Piao Yu Xing one eye, turn around to float away.

Yu Xing looked at Xiao Jiu's back and could not help muttering: "I think you are just in a hurry!"

A few days later, Xiao Jiu who got the ransom sent the heads of Shi Chong and Shi Xun to the county yamen gate, with a secret letter.

The magistrate of Qi County, who suddenly received the head and the secret letter, was shocked and overjoyed. But in Qingfeng Village, Xiao Jiu, who received several boxes of gold and silver, didn't smile at all. She didn't expect that for the sake of dealing with the aftermath, she was just curious to send Yu Xing to investigate the history of the village, and finally found out a secret.

Thinking of the news that Yu Xing brought back, Xiao Jiu felt very heavy.

According to Xiao Jiu's orders, Yu Xing sent people to investigate several people revealed by Shi Xun. One of them, Fan Zheng, was the richest man in Hedong. He had intimate relations with Shi Xun and had many business contacts with Shi Chong.

When Xiao Jiu heard that Fan Zheng was rich, he asked Yu Xing to inquire about Fan Zheng's character. As a result, he found that Fan Zheng not only had close contacts with the historian brothers, but also had contacts with the guards of Anxi, Hexi, Hedong, and even the officials of Anxi capital. He had a wide range of friends and contacts.

But such a well connected merchant had some secret connection with the vassal army. Fan Zheng sells a large number of high-quality furs every year. Most of these furs come from the vassal state. Moreover, Fan Zheng can get a kind of mineral which is a special product of the vassal state. It's the raw material for making arrows. That's why he can make the guards look at them differently.

At this moment, Xiaojiu looks at the northwest map that Yu Xing got from Shixun. He stares at the places marked by his pen. He looks at the red dots that are densely distributed in the thirteen passes of Jiuzhen in Northwest China. It's like a well-designed giant net covering the northwest. A strong uneasiness grows in Xiaojiu's heart.

Xiaojiu can't help but think that the reason why they became mountain bandits in Yuxing was that they were bullied by an officer surnamed Niu and had to be deserters. The brother-in-law surnamed Niu was the garrison general of Anxi, and the northern court was under the protection of Guo Qianjin. A terrible thought flashed through her mind. She thought that what happened to them in the afterlife was just the accidental act of a corrupt man. But now looking at the red dots on the map, she thinks that things may not be as simple as she thought before.

If there is more than one general at the bottom like Niu in the northwest, or many of them have become the running dogs of a certain force under some design, then the northwest frontier army will no longer be the backing of the northwest army, but may become a sharp sword to stab the northwest army at any time. Small nine fingers along the map of red dot distribution area gradually move, and finally fell in the map of red dot most dense area, see the place, small nine eyes can't help but suddenly sink.

In the northwest, from the border to the inland, from north to south, there are nine towns, two capitals and thirteen passes. The nine towns are Anxi, Beiting, Hexi, Shuofang and other nine border towns, which are under the unified jurisdiction of Beiting and Anxi capitals. The main task is to ensure the safety of the people in the area under its jurisdiction, and to provide supplies for the northwest army as a reserve force in wartime.

The thirteen passes, namely, Maling pass, Yunji pass, huoshao pass, Shantou pass, Fenshui pass, Shiling pass, Shiling pass, Shiling pass, Baihu pass, Yijiao pass, Jinjia pass, Yanggong pass, kongkeng pass and Yangtou pass, were guarded by the northwest army. The thirteen passes are like barriers. Bears stand in all directions to the west of the northwest to protect the peace of the earth.

The thirteen passes are located in places where the terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the most important one is Shiling pass in the middle. Shiling pass is located in the Shiling main road more than 50 miles away from Anxi city. On the ridge, there are battlements, pavilions and battery, which are the main passage to lock this road from north to south. The garrison general of Shiling pass is no one else. He is mo Pingcheng, the third elder brother of Xiao Jiu, the third son of the Mo family. He is the Deputy garrison of the capital of Anxi, zhengsanpin. He has been garrisoned in Shiling pass for nearly five years with his wife Wei Yuwan and his son.

Xiaojiu stares at the red dots on the map tightly, but no matter how she looks at them, those red dots clearly point at Shiling pass. Little nine's fingers can't help shaking gently. She clenched her lower lip tightly. For the first time, she sincerely hoped that her judgment was wrong. The third brother, the third sister-in-law and the nephew she never met would never have an accident, never!

But the news from Yu Xing made Xiao Jiu unable to sit down any longer. Fan Zheng had frequent contacts with the people in the vassal army, as if he was about to take action. Xiaojiu immediately called Wang Youbao and others, and told them to guard the stronghold and not to move rashly. She wanted to go to Hedong in person.

Before Wang Youbao and others ask about it, Xiao Jiu can't wait to fly away with his lightness skill. Wang Youbao looks at Xiao Jiu's disappearing figure and sighs with worry.

He Jin took a funny look at Wang Youbao and said, "Lao Wang, if you want me to tell you that you are just eating radish and worrying about it, what kind of means are we in charge of the family? Even people like Shi Chong and Shi Xun can kill you when they say they kill you. The magistrate of Qi county even reported that it was done by the people in the Jianghu. I have no idea that it was done by Qingfeng Village. If you want me to tell you, our leader must be the eldest lady of a Greenwood family. Look at the skill and style. Tut Tut, we will have a good life with our leader in the future! " The new computer version will be opened after you collect it.
