Da Song Private Investigator

It was already very late at night, but everyone didn't feel sleepy at all.

Sun Qi knelt on the ground and glanced at Hua Lang, and was silent for a while. After a while, he opened his mouth and said, "Liu Qi is a beast. I always wanted to kill him, but I didn't have the chance. I was so drunk that I followed him quietly. I didn't know where he was going, but he fell into my eyes, so I must make him pay the price. He drank too much wine and walked On the way, he suddenly fell down, but after he fell, he didn't intend to get up. Seeing that the time had come, I suddenly raised my dagger and rushed up. He didn't even have time to resist, so I chopped him down died."

Listening to Sun Qi's narration of the murder process, everyone felt that what he said was so casual, as if it was not difficult to kill a person at all.

"After killing Liu Qi, I felt a little uneasy. In order to eliminate some clues, I decided to change the murder scene, so I carried Liu Qi's body to another place, and then dealt with the real murder scene."

The murder process was very simple, and the murder method was not complicated, but it took so long to find the real murderer.

But this is not important, as long as the murderer can be caught, does it make any difference whether he is caught immediately or after a few days?

After Liu Qi's murder case ended, Linxi City was quiet for more than a month. Around early summer, a major incident happened at the border. Xixia soldiers suddenly attacked the border of Song Dynasty. They fought back, but they fought back, but Song's soldiers and horses suffered heavy losses.

After this incident happened, the people in the entire Linxi City were panicked. It is not time to harvest the crops. Could it be that these Xixia people are already thinking of plundering them?

It is normal for the people to be uneasy. After all, war is a terrible thing. Human life is like ants in the face of war.

Hwarang, Wen Meng and others were also a little worried, but they were more worried about the Great Song Dynasty. How could the 10 troops at the border of the Great Song Dynasty not be able to withstand the mere tens of thousands of Xixia soldiers?

Is it because the Xixia soldiers are too powerful or the soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty are vulnerable.

The weak soldiers and horses have always been a long-standing disease of the Song Dynasty, but for this, Hwarang has nothing to do. Unless there is a Wu Emperor in the Song Dynasty, he has a decisive heart to kill, otherwise this situation is only afraid that the Song Dynasty will perish Neither can be changed.

And the latecomers like Hwarang knew very well that such an emperor did not appear in the Song Dynasty, so the long-standing disease of the Song Dynasty naturally could not be solved.

Regarding this matter, Hwarang had no chance to make any changes at all, so he had to hide in Linxi City with Wen Meng and others to wait for the news. Might as well run away.

The current situation is like this, even if the escape is very unbearable, there is nothing they can do to survive.

It was just that on the night when the soldiers of the Song Dynasty repelled the Xixia soldiers, someone knocked on the door of Hwarang's house. Hwarang opened the door and saw a soldier standing outside the door. He was very curious, but he didn't speak yet. The soldier immediately bowed his hands and said, "This subordinate is Bai Shuai's bodyguard, and he visited late at night because Bai Shuai has something important to discuss with Young Master Hua."

Now that the border is in turmoil, Bai Ji must be in a hurry. Although Hua Lang is not a member of the court, he can be regarded as a commoner of the Song Dynasty. Now that the Song Dynasty is in trouble, Bai Ji sent someone to look for him. He can't shirk it, so he hastily invited such a guard After entering the room, Hwarang asked, "What does Shuai Bai have to discuss with you?"

The guard took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Hua Lang, saying: "Everything Bai Shuai said is in the letter, please read it, Young Master Hua."

Hwarang picked up the letter and read it. After reading it, he was startled, and then said to the guard, "Go back and tell Shuai Bai, and just say that Hwarang has taken over the matter he entrusted to me, and I must give him an answer as soon as possible."

The yamen servant didn't show any joy on his face, and after a slight nod, he rushed into the night again.

After the guards left, Wen Meng took the letter and read it again. After reading it, she was also surprised, and said, "Huarang, someone in the Song Dynasty sold pig iron to the Xixia Kingdom. Bai Ji wants you to investigate. This is not a trivial matter. How could you agree so casually?"

Hua Lang's face was heavy, and he said: "Because of the importance of this matter, I agreed without hesitation. Pig iron is the material for forging weapons. If someone sells pig iron to the Xixia Kingdom, wouldn't it create opportunities for the Xixia Kingdom? Are you massacring the people of Song Dynasty? This matter must be investigated as soon as possible."

Hwarang also had patriotism in his heart, everyone was a little moved after hearing his words, but everyone also knew the difficulties in front of them, Bai Ji only said that someone sold pig iron to Xixia, but there was no evidence and no suspicion people, how they investigate.

Hwarang naturally knew that the matter was difficult, but since he had already accepted it, no matter how difficult it was, he had to do it.

There was nothing to say all night, and after everyone got up the next day, they immediately went to the Yamen with Hualang. If they wanted to know who sold pig iron to Xixia, it was necessary to ask Tong Zhuo for help. Tong Zhuo has been here for many years, who did the pig iron business with? It should have been clearer.

After everyone saw Tong Zhuo, Hwarang immediately asked people who were doing business nearby. Of course, in order not to arouse Tong Zhuo’s suspicion at first, Hwarang asked about several types of business, and only those who were in the pig iron business were mixed in. up.

This Tong Zhuo was not suspicious, and answered all the questions that Hwarang asked.

"In our place, there are not many pig iron companies, and there are only three of them. None of these three pig iron companies live in Linxi City. After all, pig iron is nothing else. Living in the city affects people's lives too much. They all live in the city. Ten miles east of Linxi City, the three pig iron businesses are the Cheng family, the Pang family and the Zhao family. There is no pig iron to mine in our area, so most of their goods are shipped from other places, and then The ones that are sold to the army are when the war starts every year, that’s when they get rich.” Speaking of this, Tong Zhuo couldn’t help sighing, after all, it’s a bit awkward to make money from the war.

"I'm afraid these three pig iron manufacturers have backers behind them."

"Of course, the business of pig iron is no different than others. If there is no backing, it would have been robbed by the army, and they can still do business here."

Tong Zhuo's words are true. Although soldiers are soldiers, they can still do things like robbers. If they are required to buy pig iron and pay for it every year, they must have skills.
