194. 194: The Secret of Qingyan Building

"I have been tracking Liang Guangkun, the governor of Caoyun, for the past few days, but what have you found?"

"It's nothing special, but Lord Liang has a habit of going to Qingyan Tower every day at noon, and he always goes to a fixed side room, and he won't come out for less than an hour."

"Qingyan Building?" If a person just goes to eat, how can it take so long for an hour, unless someone else is there.

Who will you meet, so mysterious?

"Continue to follow and see who he has close contact with on weekdays, and he can't miss a single one."

"Yes."

Yu Hongchou came in with a stew pot in his hand and put it on the table in the room, "Ying'er, you need to rest, you can find out Liang Guangkun's situation in just a few days, it's already very good, you can't be in a hurry." ”

Wu Ying looked up from the front of the bookcase, "I'm worried about you." ”

"Come on first."

Wu Ying obediently sat beside him, sniffed her nose, rubbed her hands, and showed a greedy look, "What is delicious?" ”

"Bitter medicine, do you drink it?" Yu Hongchou joked.

Wu Ying's face collapsed instantly, "I'm working so hard now, Xianggong is definitely not willing to do this to me." ”

Yu Hongchou pinched her delicate nose, why is she so coquettish, "It's Wensi tofu." ”

Kindness? What is that?

When you open the lid, you will have a burst of fresh fragrance, and the thick soup base can be seen cut into hair-thin tofu, which spreads into the shape of a chrysanthemum.

Yu Hongchou scooped up a spoonful, blew it cool and put it to her mouth, Wu Ying opened her mouth to eat it, but she didn't have time to chew it, so she couldn't help but praise, "Well, it's delicious, it melts in your mouth." ”

Eating spoonful by spoon like this is not enjoyable at all, Wu Ying wanted to take the spoon and eat it herself, Yu Hongchou refused, Wu Ying took a closer look at him, why did he treat her as a child, it can be seen that the satisfied smile in his eyes was left to him, and he continued to feed.

A large bowl of Wensi tofu was also eaten by her, which shows that she was so busy that she couldn't even feel hungry.

"It's late, you can't eat more, otherwise it's not good for your body." As long as it is something she likes to eat, she will not get tired of eating as much as she wants, which makes Yu Hongchou happy and worried, the things she doesn't like to eat are green vegetables, and the things she likes to eat are pastries and snacks.

Such a delicious thing, she was not allowed to eat more, and she had to smack her mouth and still taste it.

"Oh, by the way, I'm going to go to Qingyan Tower myself tomorrow."

"I'm with you." Yu Hongchou's words cannot be refused, "I can guarantee your safety." ”

"Okay, I didn't say no."

"I'll go back first and go to bed early." Yu Hongchou said this calmly, but his heart was already manic, the warm fragrant nephrite was in his arms, and he was his own mother-in-law, but he couldn't do anything in such a normal relationship, who could be so wronged like him.

When it was almost noon on the second day, Wu Ying and Yu Hongchou came to Qingyan Building, looked around the hall, and after finding their own people, they walked over.

"Liang Guangkun is already here?"

"Yes, Childe."

"But what did you find?"

"We have been guarding the gate and have not found any suspicious person"

"You continue to monitor the hall to see if anyone is looking for Liang Guangkun, and if so, remember to follow him to see who it is."

"Yes"

Wu Ying nodded to Wei Hongchou, and the two got up together, called Xiao Er, and asked for the next door to the wing room where Liang Guangkun frequented.

"The two guest officers are here, what are you going to eat?"

"Order all your signature dishes."

"Okay, the guest officer will drink tea first, and the food will arrive soon."

The two of them drank tea, and the dishes were all ready, and Wu Ying sat at the door, deliberately opening the door of the wing room through a thin crack to observe the movement of the wing room next door.

"Don't panic, things have to be investigated, but you also have to eat." Yu Hongchou couldn't see her like this, and he forgot everything when he was busy.

"Oh"

Yu Hongchou kept holding the food for her, and suddenly his eyes stopped in one place, motionless.

"You eat too, why not"

Wu Ying saw that something was wrong with him, and hurriedly turned her head, and saw a figure walking out of the wing next to them through the crack in the door, but that person was not Liang Guangkun.

After waiting for a while, Liang Guangkun also walked out of the wing, his eyebrows and eyes were smiling, his sleeves were bulging, and he could just see it clearly from the position of Yu Hongchou, and said to himself, "It's an account book." ”

Wu Ying was anxious, "The person who followed Liang Guangkun obviously said that he was the only one in the wing, but when did that person come up just now and where did he come in, we don't know, or he was already in the wing." ”

"Does this Qingyan Building still have a back door?"

Wu Ying patted her head, and she understood as soon as Yu Hongchou mentioned this, yes, how could she forget to arrange someone to guard such a critical place, "Ah, careless!" ”

Yu Hongchou rubbed her head distressedly, and said with relief, "You can't be in a hurry about this, you have thought too much about it on weekdays, and it is possible that you will miss some things, don't worry." ”

Wu Ying didn't tell him that if this matter was not investigated as soon as possible, her little life would be in the hands of the emperor, so for the sake of her little life, she must also desperately investigate clearly.

"The spies came to report that Liang Guangkun would come here every day at noon, so they must not have met once or twice." The collusion between officials and businessmen can be hidden for so long without being discovered.

There is such a big tumor in Qingling Country, which is really a disaster for the people, and these people don't know how much of the people's hard-earned money they have swallowed.

"Just now I saw what Liang Guangkun stuffed into his sleeves, which was clearly an account book." Wei Hongchou analyzed, "If it is a general meeting, why do you have to bring an account book, unless this account book hides some secrets. ”

"I always think that person just now is so familiar, where have I seen it?" Wu Ying thought hard, this figure already had a rudimentary shape in her mind, "It's Hong Bing, the leader of the Cao Gang!" ”

Because of the investigation of Liang Guangkun, even the salt merchants in the Jiangnan area, and the person in charge of the wharf are under investigation, although they are not impressed, they have seen the portrait of this person in the investigation materials.

The Cao Gang is the largest dock gang in the Jiangnan area, and the goods that take the waterway basically have to pass through their hands, and as long as they are willing to pay, they dare to deliver any goods.

At this time, seeing Liang Guangkun and the leader of the Cao Gang secretly meeting, it is difficult not to suspect that Liang Guangkun colluded with the Cao Gang to let the illegal salt run rampant, so why there are so many discrepancies in the accounts of the salt tax, there is a reason, and sure enough, it is good as she said before, someone took advantage of his position to let smuggling run rampant.

"That account book is the key, and we must get it."

"The Cao Gang can't move for the time being, it is said that the Cao Gang are all capable people, we are just finding a sign now, first get the account book from Liang Guangkun, and then make a decision."

"Yes"
