Meng Liang suddenly laughed.

He took out the wine bag and took a big sip. Then he was the ruffian general again:

"I changed my name to stay in Shangqi, and I only served as a small lieutenant.

Later, I said I wanted to go to the border army to find a way out, but the dozen or so guys opposed it, saying that I was worried that I would violate the agreement and start a new job.

It was not until I said there were soldiers outside that were safer inside, and they were willing to let go.

Their concerns are right.

If there are soldiers outside, they are my own soldiers. If you come back in the future, can you still do things for them?

And what about you…”

Meng Liang looked at Zhang Mochen:

"The army over there is mostly a coarse man who works hard to eat food. At most, he raises a loyal dog, which is not very useful.

Only you, a person who is as literary and martial as a martial artist, and who is so hardworking, can be a chess piece.

I originally wanted to cultivate your heart well, and then send it back to the brigade, which will be of great use in the future.

But unexpectedly, you turned out to be ‘him’.

It seems that people who are too thoughtful in this world will suffer any losses after all..."

Meng Liang's smile was a bit presumptuous and perverse.

"Where is Yingzi?"

On the altar, Zhang Mochen said coldly:

"Is he just your dog?"

Helianying, the young general who said, "My life is from Meng Tongjun" and "I will never forget the kindness of my senior brother."

Meng Liang didn't answer and turned to Zhao Han:

"Boy, what you said just now is just guessing who "Xue Hong" is.

Then how do you know that the 'evil ghost' was the prince of Xiqin back then, and this prince was him Zhang Mochen?"

"Simple."

Zhao Han said:

"I have suspected of Kong Yuan, Dugu Tai, Xue Hong and Zeng Qian.

But the results show that they are not.

Since I deduced who Xue Hong was, I realized that he must have saved the prince and given him the jade head.

In this way, isn’t Dugu Tai’s story of “revenge” just right?

So I immediately thought that this "evil ghost" was the Prince of Xiqin who was rescued back then.

Everything he did, such as revenge, killing rebel generals, taking heads, and putting the corpse into the appearance of a Xue family slave, was exactly in line with his identity.

After confirming this, I immediately thought of the next question:

So who is the prince Xue Dingnan now?

Sixteen years ago, when the Tang army broke the city, Xue Dingnan was less than twelve years old. Sixteen years later, he should be a person of twenty-seven or twenty-eight years later.

Then who is around us at this age?

At this time, Brother Zhang really came into my sight.

But this is just about being of similar age and there is no actual evidence.

I know Brother Zhang very well.

Although he treats people indifferently, he is indeed a real good person.

If I put it on weekdays, I would never be able to connect him with that sinister and cunning 'evil ghost'."

"Good guy..."

Hou Liangjing sneered: "Then how did you confirm it was his?"

"Reading a book."

Zhao Han said:

"Brother Zhang, you have always been hiding your whereabouts very well.

The eleven people who were killed in Shangqi were chosen in the middle of the night and were alone, no one saw them.

Of course, this is the message Xue Hong gave you, so that you will be so familiar with their habits and whereabouts.

When the Cannibal Valley Case, you hid in the dark and followed us and entered the valley.

The person who has been spying on me behind me is you.

Of course.

In Qin'an Valley that time, there were two rebel generals Ning Wuxiang and Xu Jixian, which was another remote and desolate land, and it was a good time to start.

How could you not go?

You killed Ning Wuxiang and took his jade pieces.

And Xu Jixian was already dead, so you took away the jade he left for Xiao Yunnu.

You also dug out Xu Jixian's corpse, put it in his form, and you are ready to cut off his head.

But then, you discovered the regretful suicide note he was holding.

I believe you were unexpected. This Shangshu Xu was a loyal minister. He regretted his mistakes back then and did so many things for the duration of the Qin Dynasty.

You must have been moved.

So you didn't take his head or let him kneel down, but left. So, Xu Li was standing intact when he saw Xu Jixian's corpse.

And for Kong Yuan, you can monitor him openly in the name of handling the case.

Later, he escaped from the water in Qingyu Courtyard.

You took the shortcut and took the lead to Yongningze, killed someone and took the jade, and then ran away calmly under my nose.

Later, as Zhang Mochen, he killed one of them and shot him back.

This made me and everyone think that you went there to chase the rebel Kong Yuan.

From beginning to end, all this is seamless and flawless.

Isn't there a saying?

‘Arrogance is arrogant, and arrogance is misleading’.

Just when you think you are invincible and no one can see through it, your flaw finally appears.”

Zhang Mochen's expression remained cold and unchanged.

"On the Yamamo," Zhao Han continued, "When you killed Dugu Tai, you didn't expect that he would have that secret trick before he died.

Your mask was torn apart, and your face was seen by Dugu Tai."

Hou Liangjing said disdainfully:

"You are going to say that Dugu Tai said, 'Sixteen years ago, it was you who lived, not him'?

You have already said this just now.

Based on this, you can only infer that the "evil ghost" is the crown prince, but how do you know that the crown prince is Zhang Mochen?"

"What I just inferred is the second half, and what I now infer is the first half - 'sixteen years ago'.

Dugu Tai had already seen the true appearance of the evil ghost. These four words were spoken from his mouth and suddenly woke me up again.

I decided to read Master Pei’s county annals again.

It was also thanks to Lord Pei who kept the set of saving books, otherwise the old document library would have been burned and would never be found again.

During this rereading, I got a lot of new clues in conjunction with what Dugu Tai said.

The most important one is the identity of the 'evil ghost'."

“Which one?”

"Before, I have read the records of you seventeen in the past sixteen years and dozens of times.

I was too focused and wanted to find out your identities and the "evil ghost" from it that I ignored it, another very important record.

Records of the current officials in Shangqiu County.

That's right.

This "evil ghost" must be around us, someone in the case.

So who have come into contact with the most in this case since we entered Shangji?

It is the current officials of Shangqin.
To be continued...
