Chapter 004: A wave of unevenness rises again and again
In a luxurious private room in Fengyue Tower.
"I was drunk and talked nonsense just now, if I offend, I hope my son will forgive me!" Er Baiwu apologized.
"If you have something to say, let it go!" Lin Zhenliu pretended to be impatient.
After coming out of Ota Village, he went to the city and wandered in Fengyue Tower as a rich boy, not to do Fengyue's affairs, but to find out the news.
Although the account books are good, I haven't learned the art of accounting, even accounting, and it is not easy to understand, so I can only vaguely know that there is an inseparable relationship with the lord of Sheung Shui.
But he was killed by the cheap master Liu Wan again, so he had no clue for a while.
"Don't hide it, Fang Cai was in a daze, and forgot what he said!" Er Baiwu said tentatively, with a bowing attitude.
"You said that the Ota Village incident was done by someone from the City Lord's Mansion!" Lin Zhenliu blurted out.
Er Baiwu was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and said: "You can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense, Son, we don't know what the dead city lord has to do with Datian Village, but the city lord's mansion is not known as far as I know!"
"Then I don't know, anyway, you just said that!" Lin Zhenliu said.
"The villain was confused for a while, he was dismissed by the leader last night, but he didn't expect to say something that shouldn't be said to the prince by drinking to kill his sorrows, but the City Lord's Mansion has nothing to do with this matter!" Er Baiwu said.
"Why was he dismissed?"
"The city lord died, and we were all removed from their posts because of our poor protection, but in fact, how the city lord died, the villain doesn't know!" Er Baiwu said another grievance.
"You also said that there was a person running away from Ota Village?" asked Lin Zhenliu.
"This ...... It's the truth!" Although Er Baiwu regretted it, he still chose to confess, "The investigation showed that someone saw a woman enter the village and then leave. That is, that night, there was a tragedy, which was originally secret, but when I was drunk just now, I said nonsense, the villain should die!"
Could it be the master?
Lin Zhenliu thought so in his heart, but when he thought about it, he felt that it was wrong, with the master's cultivation that came and went without a trace, how could he still be seen twice?
And obviously she was hunted down, how could she go into the village to see it once, and go out of the village to see it again?
Since she is a woman, if you exclude yourself and your master, who else will it be?
"Do you have eyebrows now?" Lin Zhenliu asked.
"I don't know, I don't have a position now!" Er Baiwu said dejectedly, changed his words, and said: "But the villain still has some brothers in the house, you can inquire about the news for your son!"
Lin Zhenliu slapped the table and got up, accidentally smashed the table, but he was still not used to the power of this desolation: "What do you mean?
Er Baiwu was so frightened that he quickly knelt back again, and his head fell to the ground begging for mercy.
Lin Zhenliu said in his heart, I just missed, as for it?
"It's for you to find out for yourself!" Lin Zhenliu corrected as he looked at the former City Lord's Mansion guard.
Er Baiwu suddenly realized, and nodded again and again: "The little one understands, the little one understands!"
"Understand, don't you go...... Get out!" Lin Zhenliu said fiercely.
Er Baiwu looked embarrassed and said: "Son, I am not in charge of the house now, I have no income, there is something to do with it, the dredging is not in place, I am afraid that the news will be delayed!"
You can't want your life, but you can't want money.
Lin Zhenliu took out the smallest piece of gold from the storage ring and threw it into Er Baiwu's hand.
"Is it enough?"
"Enough, enough!" Er Baiwu's face lit up, and he didn't know if it was because the gold was too shiny, or if his face was too oily.
Outside the door of Fengyue Tower.
"Brother Wu, where are you going in such a hurry?" shouted the leader of the ranks of officers and soldiers.
Er Baiwu's figure paused, and suddenly an idea suddenly appeared in his eyes, and he leaned up to the man and said:
"There's a deal, are you interested?"
"Tell me about it?"
Er Baiwu whispered to the man, and the corners of his mouth flashed with a sly smile.
Er Baiwu came in through the door.
Lin Zhenliu asked, "What is the progress now?"
It turned out that the woman was here to prepare to take refuge in the old Xu family of Datian Village, because it was late, so she left first, and she had made an appointment to come back the next day, but she didn't want to hear the bad news of Datian Village early in the morning. ”
"Old Xu's family?" Lin Zhenliu praised in his heart that Old Xu Cheng did not deceive me, and asked, "Where is that woman now?"
"It's said to be out of town!"
"Where did you get this news?" Lin Zhenliu was a little skeptical.
The brothers in the house asked when they checked the tea pavilions in the surrounding inns. There's even a portrait!"
Er Baiwu handed a portrait to Lin Zhenliu, it turned out to be a pig!
Wow, can a person look like this? Lin Zhenliu only felt a little lonely!
"Oh, I'm sorry, I got the wrong one, this one is!" Er Baiwu changed it with an apologetic face.
An ordinary woman, with two eyes, a nose and a mouth, is quite square!
"The painter is a little rough, but this person is right!" Er Baiwu said.
Lin Zhenliu threw the portrait back to him and asked if there was any other news.
"Yes!" Er Baiwu said, "After the city lord was killed, his storage ring was gone!"
"Oh?" Lin Zhen shrunk his fingers and asked, "What's the doorway here?"
"After the death of the city lord, a batch of gold that was supposed to be returned to the treasury in Shangshui City is gone!" Er Baiwu said in a low voice, "If this is discovered by the superiors, it will punish the nine clans!"
"Is there such a thing?" Lin Zhenliu had a surprised expression, and his palms were in that cold sweat, although he was the only one in his nine clans now.
"How could such a large amount of gold disappear?" Lin Zhenliu said.
"The house suspects that the gold is in the lost storage ring. But it is only a matter of time before it is recovered, and throughout the ages, the easiest thing to find is the gold and silver that has been returned to the treasury!"
"Why?" Lin Zhenliu was a little flustered.
"Gongzi doesn't know that public property, especially the gold and silver that is ready to be returned to the treasury, will have a special seal under each piece, as long as someone dares to use it, follow the vine, and the melon will be picked! ”
"I see!" Lin Zhenliu suddenly realized, and then asked casually, "Did I spend the gold I gave you just now?"
"The flowers are out, and I exchanged news with the brother in the house!" Er Baiwu had a relieved expression on his face, but he seemed to think of something, and he thought like that, and suddenly his face changed, "Is there something wrong with that piece of gold?"
Before Lin Zhenliu could reply, the door of the private room was kicked open, and a bunch of officers and soldiers rushed in with big knives!
The leader shouted:
"This person is suspected of harboring Kujin, take it for me!"
