At present, Dongfang Shuo has obtained a total of three pieces of information.

First, the only old man present at that time was a blind man, and he was unwilling to tell the truth of the year.

Second, in the past ten years, the street where the Su family is located has undergone a complete renovation, which has caused all clues related to the old site to be lost.

Third, after the incident, the entire Su family was pushed to the guillotine, but Su He was the only one who was brought up by an old beggar, and the city lord's mansion turned a blind eye to him.

To sum up, coupled with what Dongfang Shuo had learned before, the power turmoil in the Imperial City ten years ago, and the two things that the old city lord contracted after going to the Imperial City, are all the information that Dongfang Shuo can think of now.

"You said you investigated another matter?" Dongfang Shuo was stunned, "What did you investigate?"

After the man handed over the ring in his hand to the person in front of Dongfang Shuo, he opened his mouth and said to Dongfang Shuo: "There is a watchtower on the edge of the vegetable market in Weiwei City, and the person on duty on that watchtower today happens to be one of the soldiers who sent money to the Su family ten years ago. ”

"The soldier ten years ago, but now he is still on duty on the watchtower?"

Dongfang Shuo was stunned.

Seeing his reaction, the two looked at each other.

Later, one of them said: "Why is Lord Dongfang so surprised? The watchtower is an important town in the city, responsible for supervising everything in the city, and belongs to the high-ranking errand of the soldiers in the city. That person has been in the army for eleven years, and if he can climb to this position, someone must have supported him. ”

Hearing these words, Dongfang Shuocai let go of the doubts in his heart, and nodded as if he suddenly realized.

"He has been in the army for eleven years, so that means that he has just joined the army for a year, and he was assigned to send money to the Su family?" Dongfang Shuo thought for a while, and said, "This is also in line with the situation at that time, the previous city lord was only a young master at that time, and the soldiers who could be mobilized were very limited, so it was normal to only use new soldiers." ”

"But Lord Dongfang, there is a suspicion here. ”

At this time, Spy B, who went to check the old beggar for Dongfang Shuo, suddenly spoke.

Dongfang Shuo and Scout A looked at him.

"What's the doubt?" Dongfang Shuo asked.

Spy B said: "If you want to spend money to eliminate the disaster, why do you still use soldiers, this is not more eye-catching, as if you deliberately want people to see it." I don't know what kind of person the previous city lord was, but at least he wasn't stupid enough to be like that, right?"

When Dongfang Shuo heard this, he sank his gaze.

He had such an idea at first, but if someone wanted to frame the previous city lord, it would be equally unreasonable.

After all, ten years ago, the old city lord was not dead, and the previous city lord was still the identity of the young lord, so what was the point of framing him?

What's more, inviting Su Jingsheng to treat the disease also has an indirect relationship with the young master.

It doesn't make sense to frame yourself yourself.

At this time, Scout Jia explained: "Although there is a possibility of this, compared to being eye-catching, what the young city lord at that time had in mind should be a name for sending money. After all, there is no impermeable wall in the world, and paper can't contain fire after all, so instead of risking being discovered, it is better to find a name to fool the past. ”

When Spy B heard this, he immediately nodded: "This is reasonable." ”

Dongfang Shuo touched his chin and pondered for a moment.

In this way, this young city lord is stealing chickens and rice, although the name is there, but it still gives people a handle. Dongfang Shuo said, "So the whole thing is that the young city lord spent money to invite Su Jingsheng to murder the old city lord, intending to put himself on the throne?"

Listening to Dongfang Shuo's judgment, Scout A and Scout B glanced at each other.

Then, Probe A spoke: "In terms of the final result, this inference is indeed the most credible. Because no matter what, it is an indisputable fact that the biggest beneficiary of the Weicheng incident ten years ago was the young city lord. ”

At this time, Dongfang Shuo also recalled the only time he saw the young city lord.

He is extravagant, the people outside the city lord's mansion are suffering, and the city lord's mansion is singing and dancing, such a person really does not look like a person with a chest and abdomen, and he may really want to kill his father and seize power.

But right now, there is a crucial and deadly problem.

If the truth is really that the young city lord bribed Su Jingsheng to murder the old city lord, then the cause of Su Jingsheng's death was to take bribes and kill the city lord, which is exactly the same as the rumors in the city.

In other words, this is what Dongfang Shuo knew from the beginning.

But the task is not over, which shows that Su Jingsheng did not die because of killing the city lord.

If you go any further, maybe he didn't take bribes at all.

It is even possible that the young city lord did not spend money to buy Su Jingsheng to do things.

"Now that the matter has been found here, the truth should have come out. At this time, Scout B, who was holding the vegetables and meat brought back by Scout A, said, "In that case, I'll go cook first, eat a good meal after a month, and after a night's rest, we should leave for home." ”

"Wait a minute. ”

But before he could move, Dongfang Shuo stopped him.

At this time, Scout A and Spout B looked at Dongfang Shuo at the same time.

Spy B asked, "Lord Dongfang, are there any more questions?"

"Ten years ago, who was the head of the City Lord's Mansion?"

Dongfang Shuo asked.

If you know who the master is, then you may be able to find out the transfer of personnel and money in the city lord's mansion ten years ago.

During that time, did the young city lord send money to the Su family, who sent the money, how much money was sent, and whether Su Jingsheng received it.

If this can be found, the truth may be revealed.

At this time, Spy B looked at Spy A: "You are in charge of the investigation of the personnel of the City Lord's Mansion, who is their master book?"

"I remember ten years ago, that master book was ......" Scout A lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then you raised your head and looked at Dongfang Shuo, "Wen Chenggong. ”

Dongfang Shuo was stunned.

"Old Man Wen?"

How could a born blind man become the master of the City Lord's Mansion?

But thinking about it in another direction, perhaps only the identity of the master book is qualified to accompany the old city lord at the bedside when he is critically ill.

"Lord Dongfang, why are you asking this?"

Spy B seemed to have insight into Dongfang Shuo's thoughts, "Is there any doubt in this matter?"

According to the situation they investigated, although there are still omissions in this matter, it can indeed be put to an end.

It's just that Dongfang Shuo didn't receive the information that the mission was over, which is the biggest suspicion of the whole thing.

At this time, Dongfang Shuo looked at Spy A: "Isn't Wen Chenggong born blind, why can he become the master bookkeeper?"

"It is true that Wen Chenggong was born blind, but he was born blind only in his right eye, and ten years ago it did not have a great impact on his left eye. At this point, Scout A paused for a moment, and then continued, "It's just that about eight years ago, he gradually lost sight in his left eye, and finally left the City Lord's Mansion because he was not qualified for the position of chief bookkeeper. ”

Dongfang Shuo narrowed his eyes: "In this way, he did serve as the chief bookkeeper, which means that he knows about the personnel and financial transfers in the City Lord's Mansion ten years ago?"

"Old Man Wen is well-known in this realm, although ten years have passed, he should still be able to remember the accounts of ten years ago. At this time, Scout A said.

As soon as he heard this, Dongfang Shuo's face suddenly showed a subtle expression.

"Unforgettable?"

He chuckled.

In this way, what Old Man Wen kept saying forgot and didn't remember, it was indeed just a pretext.

At this time, Scout B suddenly said: "But Lord Dongfang, I'm afraid that even if you investigate the accounts from ten years ago, you may not be able to get any results." Because if the young city lord really wants to buy off someone, he should also use his own small treasury, and it is impossible to use the money of the city lord's mansion. ”

But Dongfang Shuo shook his head: "Despite this, not only is there a transfer of money and property, but also the transfer of personnel. ”

"Lord Dongfang, do you need us to investigate something?" at this point, Scout A asked.

However, at this time, Dongfang Shuo shook his head.

"It's getting late, and your task now is to prepare the meal. Dongfang Shuo said, "I haven't eaten well or slept well all the way, today I want to eat a good meal and get some sleep, and the rest of the things will be talked about tomorrow morning after I get up." ”

As soon as he heard this, Scout Jia immediately smiled and said, "Since Lord Dongfang has such a demand, then of course we can't live up to Lord Dongfang! Next, Lord Dongfang has a good rest, please wait for me and him to prepare a sumptuous and delicious meal for you!"

As soon as these words came out, Scout B's face suddenly changed.

"Lord Dongfang came all the way, and after arriving, he was still busy doing other things, until now he finally had time to rest, he must have a sore waist and sore legs, very tired, he needs someone to serve tea and pour water for Lord Dongfang, beat his back and pinch his legs, this kind of thing is still better at you, as for the kitchen side of the matter, you can leave it to me!"

As he spoke, Dongfang Shuo could vaguely feel fear on Ziyi's face.

And after Spy B's words fell, his eyes glanced at Dongfang Shuo intentionally or unintentionally, as if to give the latter a hint in his eyes.

Dongfang Shuo looked at Spy B's expression, and after thinking for a while, he vaguely understood what he meant.

"I'm really tired, you can make me some tea and do a full body compression. Dongfang Shuo said.

Looking at the panicked look on Scout B's face, you can know that Scout A, who is excited when he mentions cooking, is definitely a soul chef.

I'm afraid the dish won't be much better than Du Qingxue.

Dongfang Shuo, who is used to eating Chef Ling's dishes, naturally can't swallow that kind of dish at all, and naturally needs an ordinary chef to cook a few decent dishes.

"Since Lord Dongfang has requirements, then I can only leave the responsibility of cooking to you alone. Scout A looked at Scout B and said helplessly.

And Scout B nodded hurriedly, and the expression on his face was even more thankful.

At this time, Dongfang Shuo looked at Spy A, who didn't seem to realize what the expression on Scout B's face meant.

Although this guy's ability to investigate things is very good, there is a saying that the authorities are obsessed, and as the authorities, Scout A still seems to be unable to see his cooking skills.
