Da Song Private Investigator

Hwarang and the others are about to leave Linxi City, but where they are going is still uncertain.

Seeing that Hwarang and others were about to leave, Tong Zhuo was very reluctant, so he repeatedly begged Hwarang to stay for a few more days. Hwarang knew exactly what Tong Zhuo meant. He just wanted to help him solve a few major cases. It's just a matter of reporting to the imperial court for meritorious deeds and rewards.

But even though he understood Tong Zhuo's thoughts, Hwarang accepted it. After all, it's not bad to stay in Linxi City temporarily before they decide where to go.

And just a few days after Hualang and others returned to Linxi City, an urgent report came from the border, saying that Liao Xingzong Yeluzong, the emperor of the Liao Kingdom, saw that Xixia was beaten up by the Song Dynasty, so he took the opportunity to send troops to visit and fight Xixia.

However, the Xixia soldiers were insulted by the Song Dynasty, but they did not expect that the Liao Kingdom would come to take advantage of the fire to loot them, so they were furious and resisted desperately. I want to taste the taste of taking advantage of the fire.

This news is good news for the Song Dynasty. According to Hwarang, the Liao Kingdom is very corrupt today, and Liao Xingzong Yeluzongzhen is a person who likes luxury and foreign military use. The people of the Liao Kingdom are suffering. Unbearable, but this Liao Xingzong didn't care at all, he only thought about his own happiness.

Thinking of this, Hwarang smiled lightly. Every country has its own problems, which cannot be solved by their yearning to start a war.

After sighing, he didn't pay much attention to the news. After all, the Song Dynasty has completely deterred Xixia, and at this time, Xixia was fighting with the Liao Kingdom, and the Song Dynasty can be said to be completely worry-free.

Then he, Hualang, can also rest in Linxi City for a few days, and set off immediately after thinking about where to go.

But during the few days when Hwarang was resting in Linxi City, an important case happened in Linxi City.

It was midsummer, and although Linxi City was located at the border, it was gradually getting hotter. Usually, there were few pedestrians on the street, and it only resumed its bustling around evening.

And that day at the Xiyue Tower in Linxi City, a person died, a benefactor who was looking for happiness in the Xiyue Tower.

At this time in the Song Dynasty, almost every place was a brothel, and the oldest industry, selling laughter, could be seen everywhere; Linxi City was also the territory of the Song Dynasty, so there were also brothels here, but the brothels here did not have to be found in the interior of the capital. Brothel, the brothel here is a place for men to vent their desires. They don't pay attention to piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, they only need the girls here to be beautiful.

There are not many women in the border area, so brothels are very important. In Linxi City, there are at least [-] brothels, and most of the women inside are the family members of officials who have violated the law. .

The women here may have been the wives and concubines of some big officials before, or they may be the daughters of those officials, but once their husbands and fathers are investigated, their fate will plummet, and it is good to be sent to the frontier to be prostitutes , and some were killed directly.

Women in ancient times sometimes valued chastity very much, but sometimes they cherished life very much, so even if their status plummeted, they would rather live.

Xiyue Tower is one such brothel. The bustards here are under the management of the yamen, and most of the girls here are the daughters or wives of criminal ministers assigned by them. Most of the profits earned by Xiyuelou are also handed over to the yamen.

Now that there was a murder case in Xiyue Tower, it was not a small matter, therefore, as soon as he got the news of the report, Tong Zhuo hurried to invite Hua Lang to investigate together.

Hwarang is also very familiar with brothels. Of course, it doesn't mean that he often visits brothels, but that he has solved many cases in brothels, and he understands some of the rules of brothels. Zhuo asked him to solve the case, but he did not refuse.

The Xiyue Building is very large. It is said that there are more than 50 rooms here, and they are full every day. From this situation, it is not difficult to see how hungry and thirsty the men at the border are.

When Hua Lang and Tong Zhuo came to Xiyue Tower, Xiyue Tower was very noisy, and all the benefactors were controlled. If they wanted to leave, they had to ask the yamen servant about the knife in their hands.

The corpse was lying on the stairs. It is said that the deceased was entangled with people, and died suddenly on the stairs like this.

Hwarang went up to examine the corpse, and found that the lips of the corpse were purple, the Yintang was black, and black blood flowed from the seven orifices, but other than that, there was no trauma to the whole body.

Obviously, the deceased died of poisoning.

Just looking at this kind of poison, it seems to be an acute poison, as long as the deceased is poisoned, the poison will appear in a short time.

After checking in this way, Hwarang looked at the bustard at Xiyue Tower and asked, "Do you know the name of the deceased?"

"Back to Playboy, this guest seems to be visiting our Xiyue Building for the second time, and we have so many people coming and going in Xiyue Building every day, I really don't know his name."

Hua Lang frowned slightly: "Since he has been to Xiyue Tower before, he wants to have a private meeting with the girl here. That girl should know his name."

The old bustard responded again and again, saying: "Yes, I'll investigate right away to find out who the girl he was drinking with last time was."

The old bustard was about to leave after finishing speaking, but at this moment, Hua Lang stopped him and said, "Don't worry, I'll ask you after answering the question. To come or to leave."

"He just came here. He just entered our Xiyue Building. When he went up the stairs, he bumped into shoulders with some soldiers. As a result, there was a quarrel, and during the quarrel, he died suddenly like this."

"During the quarrel, passers-by passed by them."

"No, no, absolutely not. They were arguing so badly at that time. Everyone hid away. I was the only one who stepped forward to persuade the fight. As a result, the man fell to the ground and died at the very moment." At this moment, the bustard seemed to be unconscious. I realized that saying this would have unexpected consequences for myself.

Hwarang nodded: "After calling those soldiers, you can investigate who accompanied the deceased last time."

The bustard nodded, pointed to the two men standing below, and trotted up to the second floor. At this time, the two men came towards Hwarang nervously. There is a feeling of being a soldier.

Hwarang glanced at the two of them, then frowned slightly, and asked, "You are soldiers."

"Back to Mr. Hua, we were soldiers. Today we were ordered to come to the West City to do business. We have not met a woman for a long time, so we came to this Xiyue Tower. But who would have thought that just after we were happy and ready to leave, we would encounter this strange woman?" The one with long eyes, we just had a few quarrels with him, and he died, playboy, our brothers were wronged."
