Chapter 46 Evidence

The early morning of this day was an ordinary day in the eyes of the ordinary people of Daliang Country, but for some people, it was a bit extraordinary. For example, Duan Zhong and Jiang Mingchen, for example, Zhu Zhenyang and Xiao Beiding, and then ...... Liao Xulin, the eldest son of Liao.

Last night, Liao Gongzi, who was drunk in the building outside the building, was helped back to the house by someone trembling, and fell asleep directly, and only now did he wake up. And at this moment, the sun has been rising for some time. And from last night to now, a lot has happened.

Liao Xulin touched his somewhat sore head, and vaguely remembered that he was discussing very important matters with the shopkeeper of the outer building last night, a person named Ji Wuchang. Thinking of these very important things, Liao Xulin suddenly woke up, and many very important things did happen last night.

However, why he was in bed at this moment, and how he went back to the house, Liao Xulin has no impression at all now. I obviously remember that I was drinking with Ji Wuchang last night...... Drink? Liao Xulin touched his head, and seemed to sense a hint of a problem, Ji Wuchang is a heavy person, will it ...... If your conjecture is right, then it's a terrible thing, and you're really careless. After all, he was a person who mixed up in the drinking field, and he didn't drink much last night, so how could he get drunk easily?

Calling the servant who brought him back last night proved that he was indeed drunk, so this thing ...... There must be something strange about it. It's just that Ji Wuchang got himself drunk, what is it for, and what benefits can he get?

Ji Wuchang came to talk to him, the purpose was to win the Shen family's business, and he was the helmsman behind the Shen family...... Thinking of the relationship, Liao Xulin's back was a little cold, but he still couldn't find an exact reason, so he could only faintly connect a few of the lines.

This is a very bad feeling, because even if the other person knows something, but there is no evidence, it still can't make a difference, which is an obvious problem. Besides, he didn't leak enough horses and feet to let Ji Wuchang, a profiteer, catch him.

Regardless of whether this Ji Impermanence is for himself or Duan Chong, just knocking himself out and sending him back can't get anything out of it. After thinking about this series of thoughts, Liao Xulin and Liao Dagongzi were a little confused.

However, the next thing completely diverted the attention of our eldest prince Liao. A servant hurriedly ran into the house and conveyed to himself an extremely shocking news: "The head of the Shen family was assassinated last night. Directly cut off the head with a sword, the murderer's methods are extremely cruel. ”

Liao Xulin gasped, vaguely seemed to have grabbed something, but he couldn't get out of his chest again. It doesn't matter if Shen Zhentao is dead, after all, the business of selling salt in Jiangnan is still in his own hands, and it only takes half a month for Liao Xulin to be able to re-establish another Shen family.

It's just that Shen Zhentao died at the wrong time. Shen Zhentao's character, Liao Xulin knows, there is no less thing to forcibly occupy people's daughters and force good people to become prostitutes, and there are definitely many enemies. But the timing of this death was not right. The most important thing is that Shen Zhentao has an account book that records many accounts and payments.

These ledgers were secret ledgers, which recorded the whereabouts of a lot of silver, and if they were investigated, they would eventually lead to the Doge's Palace. Therefore, what Liao Xulin and Liao Dagongzi are most concerned about is the whereabouts of these account books.

Hurriedly got up and walked out of the house, looking around, only to find that the old servant in the mansion who had been delivering letters to the Shen family for him was gone. This is another bad sign, but it is much more than that, not only is the old servant who delivered the letter gone, but even the old servant's family is nowhere to be found.

Liao Xulin finally panicked, and finally understood what happened during the period of time when he was drunk last night. At this moment, the thought in Liao Xulin's mind must be that Ji Wuyi used some kind of technique similar to hypnosis this time, asked a lot of things while he was drunk, and did such things at night.

And if it is really his own guess, it is enough to show that this Ji Impermanence was originally Duan Zhong's person, and this desire to take away the Shen family's business is just a pretense. Because even if this Shen family perishes, there will be another Shen family standing up again, and Liao Xulin has no obligation and responsibility to choose you Ji Impermanence.

And if Ji Wuchang is really Duan Zhong's person, things will develop in the worst direction. As long as these handles flow into the hands of the eldest prince, Liao Xulin can't afford the consequences, and even Liao Zhangjin can't afford it. So Liao Xulin only hopes that last night's incident was a coincidence, Shen Zhentao was killed by vendetta, and he was real...... Drunk.

Liao Xulin didn't dare to hide such a big event from his father, of course, he couldn't hide it. So he quickened his pace, hurriedly rushed into his father's room, and changed the truth of the matter.

After listening to his good son's words, Lord Liao Zhangjin's face turned from red to green, from green to blue, and a hand stretched out, and the volley was slapped on the face of Liao Xulin and Liao Gongzi, and there was a loud "pop".

"Bastard!" Lord Liao Zhangjin scolded resentfully, then hurriedly put on his official uniform and went out. This Hangzhou is under the rule of the governor of Jiangnan, and there has been a murder, and it is also appropriate for the governor to come and inspect the scene. And the reason why Lord Liao Zhangjin and Lord Liao rushed over so anxiously was to confirm that those account books were still there.

However, things often don't go in a good direction, and when Lord Liao saw Shen Zhentao's body, he already knew that things were not good. Shen Zhentao's head was cut off by an extremely sharp sword, and the wound was smooth, which was definitely a realm that only a master in the martial arts could achieve. And this Shen Zhentao obviously has not had the courage to offend a martial arts master. Therefore, the probability of this vendetta is much lower, and it is more likely that he killed him with ulterior motives.

Shen Zhentao's head was gone, but it didn't matter. Because Liao Zhangjin saw the messy soil in the back garden of the head of the Shen family. And Lord Liao Zhangjin happened to know that these secret tents Shen Zhentao were buried in the back garden, and this happened to be the last thing Lord Liao wanted to see. And Liao Xulin, who was following behind, saw the scene in front of him, and his face instantly turned pale, and he almost fainted.

The Governor waved his sleeves angrily, left with a face full of anger, and went out, but he was not in a hurry to return home, but went in the direction of the Qinhuai River. The target is not elsewhere, it is the building outside the building.

This Ji Impermanence is the shopkeeper of the building outside the building, this is something that the governor's father and son know, although the possibility that Ji Impermanence is still in the building at this moment is very small, but even if there is only a 1 in 10,000 possibility, you can't give up. Although these secret accounts can be used as evidence, but these accounts can be falsified after all, and the head of the Shen family has been killed, this kind of thing is dead without proof. Therefore, seeing that Shen Zhentao, the head of the Shen family, died, our Governor was at ease.

But these secret tents are still extremely important handles, if you make trouble, although you may not lose your official position, but the transfer from your original position is the least, out of Jiangnan, where is your own world?

Breaking into the outer building with the errand in a rage, Lord Liao Zhangjin Liao walked straight to the counter: "Where is your shopkeeper?" ”

Liao Zhangjin caught a middle-aged man at the front desk at the moment. When the man heard the governor's question, he couldn't help but be stunned: "Big ...... Adults, small ones are the shopkeepers of the outer building. ”

"Fart!" Liao Zhangjin was stunned, "What about that Ji Impermanence?" ”

The middle-aged man immediately showed an expression of realization, and hurriedly said: "Go back to my lord, this building was taken down by the villain with 30,000 taels of silver half a month ago. The original shopkeeper was small, but he didn't know where he went. ”

Liao Zhangjin was about to vomit blood now, and sure enough, he went to the empty building alone, and he walked very thoroughly.

The Governor angrily led his good son back to the house, and immediately began to prepare something. Hidden tents are big or small things, the key is in whose hands, or how to use them. But at the moment, it is in the hands of someone who should not be there, so the problem becomes very serious.

But the most important thing now is not to let these things be transferred from Ji Wuchang's hands to Duan Chong, and then to the eldest prince, and the matter will not be so easy to solve.

Of course, the direct consequence of this incident is that one of the hands of the second prince who was fishing for silver in Jiangnan was broken, and he couldn't pick it up in a short time. The ensuing consequences are also extremely worrying.

So the first thing the Prime Minister chose when he returned to the palace was to write a letter. Describe the origin and beginning of the matter in the simplest and most concise things, use the person he trusts the most, the fastest horse, and send it all the way to the capital, and send it to the hands of the Prime Minister and His Royal Highness the Second Prince. And the next thing is to contact the forces of the shareholders in the dark, so that they can start to search and arrest Ji Wuchang, because Ji Wuchang is very likely to be lurking in a corner of Hangzhou City at this moment.

And then our Governor realized that he couldn't do anything superfluous, except, of course, anxiety and irritability. So I can only use my son as a punching bag. However, he ordered someone to call Liao Xulin to listen to the reprimand, but he got a message.

His son went to the capital. As for what he was doing, Liao Zhangjin didn't know. But what can this uncompetitive son do at this moment, this is a question worthy of our Governor's consideration.

So the Governor slapped the table and shouted, "Get me this rebel back!" ”
