Chapter 6 Leaving the Jade Hall 3
Feng Tong was a little speechless. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
He thinks that after handling so many cases, he has already developed a cheeky face, but like a child who has done something wrong, he is directly broken by someone, which makes him feel embarrassed somewhat.
He glanced at Yan Yang, who had changed back to the harmless appearance of humans and animals, and with a smile that made people feel like a spring breeze, he praised: "The sword heart is clear, the momentum is like blowing snow, and you can see every detail." I didn't expect that the martial arts of the alliance leader had reached the triple heaven of the heart sword mentioned in "Sword Products", and we underestimated you. β
Liyutang said "Huh" and replied, "You're not bad either." β
He turned to Feng Tong again, seeing that he was only wearing a white lining, and couldn't help but smile: "You can dress up so casually here, it seems that you are the mysterious shopkeeper in Xingchao Building, and you are also the Xuanjian envoy of Hangzhou Anmin Division, Lord Fengtong Feng." β
Both identities were recognized by the other party, Feng Tong was not surprised, and smiled: "It's easy to say." β
Li Yutang said with relief: "I thought that Boss Huang heard something about it, so he came to test Li. Seeing Lord Feng here, I realized that he was trying to create an opportunity for me to prove my innocence. β
Feng Tong put away his smile: "No matter what the motive is, in terms of results, there is no difference. β
"Of course, there is a difference, when you are in contact with someone, the word 'trust' is the most important, and if you are suspicious at every turn, you are not worthy of being a friend with me;
"It's a pity that you're willing to say it now, but we don't necessarily believe it." Feng Tong said coldly - if Li Yutang confided in the case in a casual environment, it would have greater credibility, but now that he knew that he was facing the official who was investigating the case, what he said had the possibility of pretentiousness.
Li Yutang laughed three times, and said categorically: "You will believe it." β
Feng Tong's eyebrows were raised, and his eyes were scorching: "Just because you are leaving the Jade Hall?" β
Liyutang did not shy away from affirming: "Just because I am Liyutang." β
The same words, different tones, and a seemingly unreasonable explanation came out of Liyutang's mouth, but it seemed to be full of truth. When the two phases were at a stalemate, he suddenly heard the sound of 'gurgling' water, but it was Huang Jinsheng who brewed another pot of tea, and he still poured the tea into the cup leisurely, and then said: "This Longjing, the first entrance is a taste, and it is another taste to brew a few more times, but if you think about it carefully, the tea leaves are still those tea leaves, and the water used is also those waters, isn't it strange?" If I have something to say about my brother, I would like to hear it. β
Yan Yang didn't know when he sat down beside him, picked up the teacup and took a sip, and said with a smile: "Then I want to hear it too." β
Feng Tong had no choice but to sit down.
Li Yutang looked around at the three of them and said word by word: "Actually, it is very easy for Li to clear up the suspicion, because the person who did it to Zhao Zongtai could only be someone he was quite familiar with." β
Hearing this, Huang Jinsheng was also a little surprised, and stopped making tea. But he heard Liyutang explain: "Among the three sons of the king of Dongping County, except for the most cowardly and incompetent Zhao Zongbao, the other two inherited the Xiongwu Army and the Jingjiang Army Observation Envoy respectively. Although it is a false title, the sons and daughters of the clan love to use it to gain fame and reputation, emulating the majesty of Emperor Taizu who 'immediately conquered the world'. Therefore, whenever Zhao Zongtai goes in and out, he will be covered with armor all over his body, and if he is not in front of his best friends, he will not take it off easily. β
"Is it possible that after the murderer has killed someone, he will take off his armor?"
Yan Yang muttered: "General Zhao has a few wounds on his body that are more than half a foot wide, and they are very coherent, even if they are slightly blocked by armor, they shouldn't look like that. β
Feng Tong nodded: "And he has an observation token, if the murderer passes over his corpse, there is no reason to leave this thing." β
He looked at Liyutang and said seriously: "This also shows that Zhao Zongtai did not die immediately after being ambushed, and the place where he was buried could not be easily reached by even the murderer." β
Li Yutang said: "So Zhao Zongtai's last move was to throw himself into the river - the location of the murder should of course be a boat." β
"A ship that has a great relationship with the Dongping County Palace."
The two of you seem to have a great tacit understanding, and the previous tension has eased slightly. Huang Jinsheng frowned, tugging at his beard from time to time, which would give an 'oh', and said with some uncertainty: "What you said, isn't it 'Spring River Flower Moon Night'?" β
"Spring River Flower Moon Night" is a seven-word long poem handed down from the previous dynasty, although it is not written by a famous artist, it is widely known in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, because of its clear and beautiful words, the artistic conception is vulgar, and vividly depicts the spring night in the south of the Yangtze River.
Feng Tong and Li Yutang glanced at each other, and they both knew it in their hearts. Yan Yang held the teacup, looked at the two of them left and right, and said inexplicably: "What is that?" β
"Spring River Fang, a building boat."
Feng Tong put one hand on his shoulder, and smiled with a bit of evil nature: "But it's not just a boatβto put it nicely, it's a teaching workshop; To put it mildly, it's the kiln ......"
He has lived in Hangzhou for four years, and has taken on important positions in security, so he naturally knows more about the people here than others. But even if you are new to Hangzhou, as long as you have the heart to investigate, you should have heard such a sentence: "The spring river flowers and moonlit nights, and the chest grows stratus clouds." β
This is the famous place for fireworks in the city. The Sougainvillea Pavilion in the second half of the sentence is located in the downtown in the west of the city, not far from Xingchao Tower, and the woman in it is famous for the wild waves; As for the first half of the sentence, many people only know that it is a ship, which is said to have been built by inviting the masters in the Quenching Sword Valley to build it according to the drawings of Emperor Yang's "Water Palace". The ship is moored at the Qiantang River wharf on weekdays, and will sail to Dongyue when looking at the moon, so round trip, the voyage lasts for more than a month.
"Most people think that Chunjiangfang is the industry of the God of Wealth Chamber of Commerce, but Boss Huang and Lord Feng both know that this is not the case." Li Yutang said: "This ship belongs to the name of the Dongping County Palace, and the actual owner should be the eldest son of the old prince." β
"Zhao Zongbao... How is he? β
Li Yutang frowned slightly: "Isn't this consistent with his temperament of a horse lover?" β
Feng Tong couldn't help but smile bitterly, running a kiln and visiting a kiln are completely two different concepts. As the shopkeeper of Xingchaolou, he knows very well in his heart that it is difficult to take care of a restaurant, and it is even more difficult to take care of a green building. What's more, it is still a green building floating on the river and cruising between the two places.
"Chunjiang Boat has been famous for several years, as far as I know, it is different from ordinary green houses, there is a strict selection of visitors, and if you do not have a considerable social status and fame, you are not allowed to board the boat." Huang Jinsheng sighed and said: "At first, there were many people in the Fujian and Zhejiang Chamber of Commerce who accused it of bullying customers, but over time, many of my old friends were proud to be allowed to board the ship. If Zhao Zongbao is really the master behind the scenes, this son's ability may not be as unbearable as the rumors. β
Feng Tong was silent for a moment before he spoke: "The alliance leader's investigation of Chunjiangfang started very early, right?" β
"Long before it happened." Li Yutang replied frankly: "The Ming people don't say secret words, with the relationship between Tianbo Mansion and Dongping County Palace, there will be no less temptations between each other, and they also know some of their hole cards." β
Feng Tong asked: "Also the situation inside the ship?" β
Li Yutang shook his head and said, "That's not the case, we once sent a team to explore the Chunjiang Boat at night, but it didn't work, how can you say it... The ship is in a class of its own, and even if there are any secrets, they are hidden by the spring - this is the worst thing for a good man like me, isn't it? β
Huang Jinsheng laughed out loud and teased: "Spring in the middle of the night is always desirable." But why don't you consider placing a long-term dark pile, since it's a green building, there should always be a cook or something, right? β
"This building is very closed, and the insiders are never called out. What's more, it floats on the water all year round, which is inconvenient to transmit information, and it is also very risky to arrange line piles. Li Yutang showed an apologetic expression: "For Chunjiangfang, that's all Li's knowledge is." But one thing is obvious, it was supposed to sail to Dongyue ten days ago, but now it has been parked in dock No. 8 at the Qiantang River wharf - if the murderer has any intentions, Zhao Zongtai's death is probably just the beginning. β
Feng Tong's head was suddenly as big as a fight, this was the last thing he wanted to hear, for Zhao Zongtai's death, he was responsible for the people's safety, it may be necessary to find out, but for the deeper conspiracy, he didn't want to get involved at all.
At this time, Yan Yang spoke, and his tone was as flat as ever: "Why do you want to kill Zhao Zongtai?" β
He didn't ask much, but the meaning was very clear: if it was really Zhao Zongbao's intention, why did he kill his younger brother - no matter what his plans were, he couldn't bypass the mountain of Dongping County Wangfu, what was the point of such an extreme move?
Feng Tong only felt that his scalp was numb, he instinctively rejected this question, he was afraid of hearing any more superfluous clues, afraid of being swept into the bottomless truth. But another impulse surged in his heart - why did he kill Zhao Zongtai? The voice grew in his head, as if he couldn't wait to know the answer.
In his contradictory mood, Li Yutang sighed and said, "I don't know." β
He stood up with a long knife in his hand, turned out the window and looked solemn: "But there are many people who want him to die." Do you know that since he served as the observation envoy of the Xiongwu Army, he would go to the garrison to perform his duties every year from March to June, but this time he only stayed for half a month and returned in a hurry, and three days before he left Qinchuan, there was already a bloody warrant for his life in the black street! β
Feng Tong muttered, "So...... What did Zhao Zongtai experience in Qinchuan? β
