God-level Consort of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 509

Seeing that the two fierce guards guarding the door came in response.

Wang Laowu, who was originally complacent, immediately became cowardly, plopped, and knelt on the ground again: "Master Hou, spare my life, Lord Hou, spare my life, I am really not a liar, Master Hou... Master Hou, what I said is true If you don’t believe me, go to Chang’an to have a look, and then send someone to Yangzhou to find out. Hou Ye, this great opportunity to make a fortune is right in front of you. As long as you seize this opportunity, you will not be the richest man in Chang’an in the future, you will become the richest man in Tang Dynasty The richest man."

Old Fu leaned over and said, "Master, I think what Wang Lao Wu said has some truth."

Du He: "..."

You see, even Lao Fu has been brainwashed.

Wang Laowu is definitely a sales talent.

Du He also believed that what Wang Laowu said had some truth.

However, it is not impossible to build an unimpeded commercial route from Yangzhou to Chang'an by one's own efforts in this era of low productivity, but the cost is so high that even a family like the Changsun family does not have the courage to do it.

This thing is like digging the Grand Canal, and the power of the whole country is about the same.

Du He was amused, and asked: "Wang Lao Wu, I ask you, you are such a genius, why did you become like this?"

Wang Laowu hurriedly said: "Master Hou, the villain originally brought a batch of goods from Yangzhou. There were only twelve carriages and more than a dozen people under him. But in a place less than fifty miles away from Chang'an, the thief Snatched away, nothing to return, no choice but to live on the streets."

Wang Laowu spoke out his experience in a hurry.

But when Du He heard this, he frowned.

Less than fifty miles away from Chang'an, thieves robbed the goods?

Put it ten years ago or 20 years ago, it was very common.

But now it is the seventh year of Zhenguan, and in the entire Tang Dynasty, except for border gates and deserted places, such things as roadblocking and robbery have long been very rare.

He thought Wang Laowu was lying.

But when he looked up, he found that Wang Laowu had injuries on his body, not bumps, nor knife wounds, but burns, as if he had escaped from a fire.

At the same time, Wang Laowu suddenly realized that he had slipped his tongue, and subconsciously panicked.

Du He's eyes froze, and he realized something was wrong instantly.

This kid has a ghost!

Du He waved his hand and ordered: "Take it down and give it to Zhang Jian. After an hour, I want everything he knows."

"Ah, don't... don't... want... ah..."

Wang Laowu was dragged down like a dead pig.

After half an hour.

Zhang Jian came to the courtyard of the dean with a thick stack of papers.

"Master, I have recruited everything, even the matter of peeping at the widow next door sleeping when I was seven years old." Zhang Jian laughed and said, "This kid didn't beat him at all, and he told everything before he even made a move."

Du He waved his hand: "This young master is not a gossip person, and I'm not interested in his nonsense, I just need to know one thing, what is his real intention for coming to this young master."

Zhang Jian said: "Master, he came to you because he really wanted to make a deal with you. If the deal fails, he wants to borrow money from you to go back to Yangzhou. As for his identity, it should be certain that he was doing small business in Yangzhou before." of."

"It's that simple?"

Zhang Jian nodded.

Du He said: "So, it is true that he said that he was robbed of goods by thieves?"

Zhang Jian frowned and said, "It's impossible, but judging from Wang Laowu's confession, it doesn't look like he's lying."

As he spoke, he put the confession in front of Du He.

Du He looked at the confession carefully, and said suspiciously: "It's less than fifty miles away from Chang'an, and this kind of thing happened in the middle of the night, but Wang Lao Wu didn't go to report to the police, but lived in Chang'an... This guy has a ghost, go, let him speak , If you don’t tell the truth, send him to dig coal.”

"Yes!"

Zhang Jian's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly turned and went out.

After not much effort, Zhang Jian came back and said excitedly: "Master, you have made a big discovery. You are really good at predicting things. Wang Laowu's goods were lost and his subordinates were killed. There is a reason why he dare not report to the officials... It turned out that he brought people to live in that restaurant because there was a woman named Xiu Er in the motorcade. Killed him, killed all his subordinates, and set fire to the wine shop... This guy thought smartly that the group of people came to rescue the woman named Xiu'er, and Xiu'er must have a special background, so he didn't dare to report to the police. Afraid of being found out."

This is the truth of the matter.

"So...Xiu'er, Brother Yuchi became a confidante in anger. That woman is also called Xiu'er. Could it be a coincidence?" Du He grasped the key information keenly and asked.

Zhang Jian patted his thigh: "By the way, Wang Laowu said that the woman named Xiu'er met in the same state."

Snapped.

"There's a lot to say about this matter. A woman of unknown origin was suddenly taken away by a group of men in black... Zecheng, immediately arrange for people to take Wang Laowu with her to the crime scene." Du He He made a decisive decision and said.

In less than half an hour, a group of people left through the back door of Dream Group.

A total of more than 30 rides.

The first ones were Xu Zhengdao and ghosts and gods.

Du He and Lu Bu followed closely behind.

Zhang Jian was at the back. It wasn't that he stayed behind, but Wang Laowu was tied to his horse's back. Wang Laowu weighed two hundred catties, and even a good horse from the Western Regions couldn't stand it.

Under the guidance of Wang Laowu, the crowd quickly headed southeast.

It was dark.

A group of people came to the place Wang Laowu said.

This place is in a mountain depression, not far from the official road, but sits on a hill across the official road. I did it.

Du He and others came close, got off their horses, and saw that the original wine shop made of mud and wood had turned into ruins.

Du He immediately ordered his subordinates to come forward and check.

Not long after, Xu Zhengdao stepped forward, shook his head, and said, "There are traces of fighting, but there is not a single corpse left."

"Impossible," Du He said solemnly, "Even if it's a big fire, it's impossible to burn all the corpses. You see, the beam on the ground has not been completely burned, and the corpses are gone. It must have been dealt with by someone... It seems that my guess is right, this is not a simple thief, but a well-prepared one..."

Wang Laowu stood aside, dumbfounded.

He found that he was involved in a huge vortex.

Wang Laowu stepped forward and asked stammeringly: "Master Hou, I... I have said everything I should say. I really don't know the rest. Can I go?"

puff.

Du He kicked him to the ground.

"Tie up!"

Several guards stepped forward, tied Wang Laowu tightly, and hung him on a nearby tree.

The cold wind was blowing.

It cut across Wang Laowu's face like a knife.
