Chapter 43
Qin Keqing asked with an "oh" puzzlement: "What does Shopkeeper Li mean by this?" Am I saying something wrong there? ”
Shopkeeper Li put away the panic just now, got up slowly, walked to the door, looked at the officials outside the house and said: "The so-called treason with the enemy, the premise is that I must be from the Zhou State to be regarded as a collaborator, if I am not from the Zhou State, how can I collaborate with the enemy and treason!" What if I'm a Xiliang myself? ”
Qin Keqing looked at the door, Shopkeeper Li said in a deep voice: "Are you from Xiliang?" ”
Shopkeeper Li turned to look at Qin Keqing and said with a spring breeze on his face: "Isn't it okay?" There is a law in the Great Zhou that prohibits the people of Western Liang from doing business in the Zhou State! Although it is said that the two countries have been in a state of mutual restraint now, fifteen years ago, my Xiliang and Da Zhou joined forces to crusade against South Vietnam and capture the land of Sanzhou. At that time, we were allies, and the two countries had very close contacts, and there were not a few men from my Xiliang who came to Zhou! There are also a lot of people in Xiliang in your Zhou Kingdom! Can they all say that they are the fine work of your Zhou Kingdom now! It's a joke! ”
Qin Keqing was slightly stunned and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Li really has a good iron mouth with sharp teeth. I can't refute what I said! This made Qin have to admire, but Shopkeeper Li, you can forget the person you talked to and even the people of the court! You can't argue with that! ”
Shopkeeper Li calmly walked up to Qin Keqing, picked up the original yellow teacup, looked back and forth carefully, and said lightly: "Now I am still in the same room with you Inspector Qin!" What can be said about this? ”
With a "snap", Qin Keqing slapped the table and said, "Okay, you can be Li Sinian, you are clever, you dare to be so rampant." Do you really think I don't dare to do anything to you? ”
Shopkeeper Li put down the teacup and said with his arms folded on his chest: "I'm so afraid, who doesn't know that the supervision and handling of cases can always be cut first and then played, even if there is no evidence, but have you ever thought about it, if you kill me, what can you do, it will only let the people of Xiliang know that you Zhou Guo Inspector wantonly killed innocents without evidence, and I am afraid that border wars will break out if this continues!" Is it really easier for Zhou Guo to see this kind of scene now? Besides, isn't your only basis now just what Guo Rong said? What if Guo Rong just talked nonsense? What can you do to me, so Inspector Qin, you still don't put any official authority in front of me! lest I say something I shouldn't say for a while, and make it difficult for you to be a human being! ”
Qin Keqing smiled and said: "It turns out that this is the foundation for you to have no fear, it seems that your shopkeeper knows some things that I don't want people to know!" ”
Shopkeeper Li nodded slightly and said: "Li is already fifty and seven this year, and it can also be said that he is an old man of half a hundred, this person has a problem as soon as he is old, that is, he sleeps relatively lightly, so it is easy to hear some things that should not be heard!" See something you shouldn't see! ”
Qin Keqing stomped back and forth on the ground, and when he heard Shopkeeper Li say this, he said with a shallow smile: "How do you know what you shouldn't hear, what you shouldn't see?" What if I meant to let you hear and see? ”
Shopkeeper Li was stunned and looked at Qin Keqing in front of him and said, "What do you mean by this?" ”
Qin Keqing stretched out his hand to push the window open, letting the fresh air outside the house blow in, the candle flame in the house swayed with the wind, as if it could be extinguished at any time, the wind of dawn was biting cold, blowing coldly on the shopkeeper Li, looking at the woman in front of him, he suddenly found that this woman who looked soft and boneless was stuck there like a sharp blade, and there was a murderous aura everywhere! I saw her take a deep breath of air and said slowly: "Half a year ago, the cable reported that there was a group of bandits on Lushan near Qingzhou, and their style of action was no different from that of ordinary bandits, which was nothing more than doing some things to rob houses and rob the road. Later, after investigation, the robbed crowd found that the words and deeds of this group of bandits seemed to have been trained by the army, as if they were a veteran of the battlefield. So the imperial court sent people from the Metropolitan Procuratorate to secretly investigate the origin of this group of bandits, but there was no progress in three or four months, as if this group of people fell from the sky, and had no choice but to take risks and let people pretend to be business travelers to walk at the foot of Lushan. Qingzhou City is located in the northeast of the Zhou State, bordering it is the Mobei Qiang people, and most of the Mobei Qiang people are iron horses, this kind of border army has never appeared, that is, this group is not the Qiang people! But he is neither a member of the Qiang tribe nor a person of the Zhou State, so why is he entrenched here? This made the Metropolitan Procuratorate unable to guess what the intentions of this group of bandits were at first. However, it was later discovered that crossing Lushan was the main route for Qingzhou to transport grain and grass to the Tiger Ben army stationed in the north, and everything became clear. You must know that the battlefield battles often give their lives to the newcomers who have not been baptized, and those who survive are generally veterans, so a veteran who has been baptized by the battlefield can often be worth five recruits who have never had any experience, according to the line, this small group of bandits is about a thousand people, if these thousand people are veterans who have been on the battlefield for a long time, then this point of the guards in Qingzhou City is like a lamb to the slaughter, if once the war in the north is tight, the tiger army stationed in the north will suffer to the point of helplessness, At that time, as long as these 1,000 veterans occupy the main transportation routes and cut off the follow-up supply of the Tiger Army, then the entire northern border will definitely be lost. I hope to see the Qiang iron cavalry sweeping Qingzhou is nothing more than Nanyue and Xiliang, but Nanyue and my Great Zhou have been like fire and water for more than ten years, and it is impossible for thousands of people to pour into my Great Zhou without noticing, so this bandit should be Xiliang who was planted here in advance through the friendship between the two countries, and only wait for the war to be together, and the Qiang people in Mobei can share the territory of my Great Zhou. ”
Shopkeeper Li looked at Qin Keqing, who was already expressionless at this time, and said, "What does Inspector Qin mean by saying this?" I don't want to hear such a secret! I know that it's better to know less than to know what you should know! ”
Qin Keqing said "oh", turned his head and looked at Shopkeeper Li sitting on the chair suspiciously, and said, "It turns out that Shopkeeper Li doesn't know these things?" But is there news that you have two shipments that were not properly sent to this bandit? It's wrong, was it robbed by this bandit! Shopkeeper Li, you have calculated a thousand things or one thing less, and you can only say that you are a hundred secrets! In the end, you still showed your fox tail," staring at Shopkeeper Li with a smile!
Seeing Qin Keqing's eyes staring at him, Shopkeeper Li twisted his face to the side, looked out of the house through the window, and said in a trembling voice: "I don't understand what Miss Qin is talking about, the goods have been robbed, and I don't want to see it, what are you talking about here, Li can't understand what you're talking about!" ”
Qin Keqing smiled as if talking to himself: "To feed thousands of people, it takes a lot of money, so you buy a large amount of medicinal materials from the visitors outside the customs at a low price, and then sell them to Steward Feng of Yichun Hall at a high price. This Feng steward was also stupid, he thought that he could make a profit by enriching his own pockets, but he never thought that he would invisibly help the enemy country's team to raise military expenses. So it's more than innocent! ”
Shopkeeper Li stared at Qin Keqing with a pale face, and after a long time, he squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "These are all your guesses, you have no evidence!" ”
Qin Keqing looked coldly at the shopkeeper Li who was like ashes in front of him and said, "Do you want evidence?" Of course I have! Do you know what I'm doing today? ”
