Da Song Private Investigator

In the evening, there was a blush in the sky.

In the courtyard, the chirping of cicadas became even louder, and a gust of wind passed by, but there was also a hint of coolness.

Tong Zhuo took a sip of tea, and then said: "Master Hua, this Yunyun's father is Cao Qin, who used to work in the household department. He was a corrupt official and corrupted a lot of money. During his tenure in the household department, Once he was in charge of transporting food and grass to the border, and that time, he lived in our Linxi City."

Hearing this, Hua Lang was very excited, and said: "So, this Cao Qin has been here before and met that Chai Feng."

"Exactly, this Chai Feng and that Lu Yu are in the rice grain business. I think they may have colluded before coming here."

None of them are good people. After discovering these things, it is naturally difficult for people to think in a good way.

Hwarang nodded: "Apart from these, are there any other clues?"

"Cao Qin was investigated in the capital and found that he had embezzled and looked at the money. The court was very angry and planned to follow the vine to find out all the moths. Cao Qin mentioned a few names at the time, but in the end, he refused to say Well, when people from the imperial court forced him to confess, he actually committed suicide, and for this reason, the imperial court dispatched his family members here."

Hua Lang was silent for a while, and said: "In other words, Cao Qin chose to die in order to protect his accomplices."

"Exactly, of course, at that time, how could he be protecting his accomplices? I think he chose to die for the lives of his relatives."

Thinking about it carefully, yes, there are many people in the court who have means. If Cao Qin confessed others like this, others would have to use his relatives for surgery.

When Cao Qin realized this, he had to die to settle the matter, but even though he died, his family still did not get rid of the fate of being assigned.

Perhaps, Cao Qin at that time already knew that his family members would be assigned, but it was better than being killed by those people.

Hua Lang had a faint feeling that things were not that simple, but at this time, Tong Zhuo continued: "When Cao Qin escorted grain and grass to Linxi City, he met robbers on the way, and half of the grain and grass were robbed. , the household department was very angry and wanted to punish those robbers severely, but after a period of investigation, the robbers were not found. Later, because the border war was calm and the food and grass were sufficient, they didn't care much, so Cao Qin went back , I feel that Cao Qin may have sold the grain and grass, and he sold it to Lu Yu and the others."

Tong Zhuo's guess was not unreasonable, Hua Lang nodded slightly to heal, and said: "Yes, there is indeed such a possibility, and it is precisely because of the relationship between the two of them that Chai Feng met Yunyun. After that, he redeemed her body."

Tong Zhuo didn't think of this, but when Hua Lang mentioned it, he understood, nodded repeatedly, and said: "It is indeed possible, but after Chai Feng redeemed Miss Yunyun, he hid Miss Yunyun there. , Is it Jinwu Zangjiao, or was she sent away, or she killed Yunyun, and just got the court's food and grass into her own hands, this is a serious crime of beheading."

Hwarang felt a faint unease in his heart, but this unease came for no reason.

When Tong Zhuo left, it was already dark, and Hwarang couldn't sleep for a long time.

Tonight there are stars, there is a moon, the moon is bright, and the stars are few.

In the middle of the night, Linxi City suddenly became lively. Hua Lang was woken up just as he fell asleep. A yamen servant hurried over and reported, "Young Master Hua, we have captured those two Xixia spies."

Hwarang frowned slightly. Didn't Tong Zhuo say before that he should not act rashly, but now he has arrested the two Xixia spies. At first, Hwarang didn't understand what was going on, but when he figured it out, he suddenly became sober. Some excitedly asked: "So, the Xixia spies have come to understand the purpose of coming to the west city."

"Yes, dude, I understand. Those two spies sneaked into Lu Yu's house tonight. Our spies followed them, and found that the two Xixia spies wanted to buy Lu Yu's grain. For this reason, we can only find a way from our Song Dynasty, but their situation seems to have cooperated in this area before. When we saw it, this Lu Yu dared to sell food to the enemy, and immediately rushed to arrest them gone."

After hearing these words, Hwarang became even more excited.

Although there is often trade between the two countries, the sale of grain and grass is prohibited. Grain and grass are the most important things to support an army. Selling grain and grass to the enemy is not collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country.

It wasn't until this time that Hwarang and the others finally understood why Lu Yu, Chai Feng, and Ah Qiang disappeared every few months. It's a profitable business.

This news is very exciting. Discovering this is equivalent to destroying a hideout of Xixia. However, does this matter have anything to do with Chai Feng's killing?

If Chai Feng's killing had something to do with this, then what could it be? Lu Yu and the others felt that Chai Feng was dangerous, so they killed him to silence him.

Chai Feng is indeed a dangerous person. He redeemed Cao Qin's daughter from the brothel. If Lu Yu and the others knew about this, what would they think? Knowing that they had more people doing business with Xixia, they would So worried, for their own safety, they have to kill.

If Chai Feng is killed, even Yunyun, Baguio and others may be killed.

Although it was late at night, Hua Lang still woke up Yin Wucuo, and the two of them followed the yamen servant to Lu Yu's residence.

When they arrived at Lu Yu's mansion, Lu Yu's mansion was already surrounded by government servants. Tong Zhuo arrived early, but he seemed sleepy and yawned from time to time. After seeing Hua Lang, he was not very energetic. , Hwarang can understand this very well, but in fact he is also very sleepy.

Because Lu Yu's business with Xixia has been confirmed, so there is nothing to ask. They just learned a little bit. It turns out that Xixia country is in short supply of food and grass, so they sent people to Xicheng to do business with Lu Yu. They It has been done several times before, but this time because of the emergency, the protection measures were not done well, so that he was finally captured.

Lu Yu didn't intend to refute this. He was arrested on the spot, and it was useless to refute. He even angered Tong Zhuo, and the only consequence was being tortured.

After asking this question, Hwarang began to ask about Chai Feng.

"Chai Feng was poisoned to death in Xiyue Tower a few days ago, do you know?"

"know."

"But you did it."

Hearing these words, Lu Yu suddenly raised his head.
