Guo Li and the three of them hid in the dark and waited for a long time without anyone going out, and the strangeness was obvious.

"Your Excellency and Mr. Meng will go back first, and the lower officials will wait here." Sun said.

Guo Li listened to Sun Li's words and went to Jingzhao Mansion with Meng Haoran. Today, I went to the dock to look for clues, but I didn't expect to encounter two cases in succession. Guo Li should start the investigation from two aspects: the rice merchant and the Cao Gang, the Cao Gang is the source, and the rice merchant is the market terminal. Although Li Longji secretly ordered an investigation into the smuggling of grain and grass into Beijing, he did not want to severely punish the profiteers to plug the gap. Guo Li is boring, far less interesting than the murder case in front of him.

"The young man is a person from Chang'an, and Liu Heming, a Jinshi today. Just now, someone reported to the official, saying that Liu Gongzi had been missing for a few days, and I heard that the floating corpse of a young man was fished out in Guangyun Pond to take a look, but I didn't expect this corpse to be Liu Heming. Someone said that Liu Heming was the eldest son of the Liu family, and Liu Heming went to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda after winning the Jinshi in the imperial examination, and then disappeared for several days. Today, I heard that the floating corpse was fished out from the dock, and the old man of the Liu family specially asked the servants to take a look. ”

The new branch jinshi died in vain, and the pressure on Jingzhao Mansion was huge.

Liu Heming? Coincidentally, the old gentleman said that he gave "Zhuangzi" to Liu Heming. If the "Zhuangzi" in the study of Liu County Order was given to Liu Heming by the old gentleman, then there is a certain relationship between Liu Heming and the county order.

Two dead people, one book.

Guo Li looked through the records of Jingzhao Mansion, and the autopsy was really detailed, and even the green silk in the nails was also recorded.

"Ziyi's official uniform is too eye-catching, it's better to go back and change your clothes and go to Liu's house together to see if there are any clues." Meng Haoran said.

Liu Wenzhe was originally a Huifu person, and came to Chang'an in the fourth year of Kaiyuan. The original name was An Wu Congwen, and the surname Liu in the Central Plains was a big surname, and An Wu changed his surname from Wen to Liu, and gave himself a name called Wen Zhe.

Liu Wenzhe just started the fur business, and after two years, he opened a japonica rice shop. As for why he changed careers, Liu Wenzhe never talked about it with anyone. Since changing careers, Liu Wenzhe has begun to make a fortune, and he has become rich in just a few years. When a man is rich, he becomes bad, Liu Wenzhe married his concubine Zhu Meier, a Jiangnan girl who is very smart. The wife is unwilling and can't help it, who let only one son be born for so many years? Zhu Meier was also angry, and gave birth to a son and two daughters within a few years after entering the Liu family.

This year is even more joyful, Zhu Meier's pearl is secretly knotted, and she is pregnant with the child of the Liu family. The eldest son, Liu Heming, was hit by the Jinshi, and he was happy. Before he was happy for a few days, Liu Heming disappeared, and today it was reported that a dead body was fished out from Guangyuntan. Liu Wenzhe had a bad premonition and sent a servant to the official mansion to have a look, but he didn't expect it to be his eldest son Liu Heming.

Liu Heming has no scholars, only a maid Qin'er.

"Who does your son-in-law usually associate with?"

"What is your son-in-law's favorite thing to do?"

"Does your son-in-law have a favorite girl?"

The maid Qin'er didn't know anything.

After inspecting Liu Gongzi's bedroom and study, he found no valuable clues.

Coming out of Liu's mansion, there was something that Guo Li couldn't understand.

"The eldest prince is dead, why is there no sad atmosphere in the Liu Mansion?"

"Businessmen, see profit and forget righteousness. The Liu family's big house itself is no longer favored, and the only son who relies on it has died again, and the future situation can be imagined. Maybe the person who is really sad in this house is his mother. ”

"Could it be that the inner house is competing for the family property, so ......?" Guo Li's brain was opened, according to the plot in the TV series in his previous life.

"Ziyi's idea is peculiar." Meng Haoran glanced at someone more.

"Liu Wenzhe is a Hui person." Guo Li thought of a question.

"How does Ziyi know?"

"Liu Wenzhe has the characteristics of a Hui people. The nose is large and hooked, and the most important point is that Liu Wenzhe has a pierced ear on his right ear. ”

"I didn't expect Liu Wenzhe to look very sad."

"Haoran was wrong this time, Liu Wenzhe didn't know who the murderer was, once the murderer was identified, Liu Wenzhe would definitely not let it go. How can hatred be seen on the face? ”

Sun Ti is back.

"What did you find?"

Sun Ti shook his head, "Xiaguan has waited for a long time, but I haven't seen anyone come out of it." ”

"I went to the West Market to buy rice, and I heard that the price of rice had risen sharply, so I had to buy some to prepare. What do you think? ”

Sun Ti looked at Guo Li with a strange face, and said for a long time: "There is rice in Xiaguan's house." ”

……

The huge Chang'an City is full of rice shops. Last year, a liter of good Guanzhong rice was only two cents, and now it has been sold for three cents. As the saying goes, peers are enemies, two businesses in one place operate the same goods, intrigue with each other, and you can smell a smell of gunpowder from afar. Only the rice industry does not have this situation, you sell yours and I sell mine, anyway, the japonica rice is not worried. The price is always rising, and I am not afraid that no one will want to keep it.

Directly west of the West City Government Office, there are three rice shops in a row.

Sun Ti thought that Lord Siqing came to buy rice just for fun, but he didn't expect Guo Li to enter the West Market and plunge into the rice store and not be able to get out.

"Official, what kind of rice do you want? The small shop has good Guanzhong rice, as well as Jiangnan rice and Shuzhong rice. The shopkeeper asked. The second junior in the store was busy taking care of the other guests, and he didn't care about greeting Guo Li and the others.

"What about that kind of rice?" Guo Li wondered.

"Of course, Guanzhong rice is delicious, the sun is long and ripe once a year. Jiangnan rice is cooked twice a year, if the officials try it, the long rice in Shu is good, and a bucket of rice is twenty-five Wen. The store said.

In his previous life, Guo Li ate Shuzhong rice, which was long and cheap, and of course the most important thing was the last point. Seeing the store selling Shuzhong rice, Guo Li missed the long-grain rice he ate in his previous life. I looked through it casually, and sure enough, it was all shiny long-grain rice.

"Have you ever heard of a Liu Ji rice shop?" Guo Li asked casually.

"Liu Ji Mi Xing? There is a japonica rice shop next to it whose shopkeeper is surnamed Liu, but the name of the store is the people's rice shop. ”

The people are in the rice line?

Guo Li bought a bucket of rice in Shu and walked into the people's rice store with a rice bag.

Who knew that the casual behavior fell in the eyes of Sun Ti and Meng Haoran, which was very different. Sun Ti saw Siqing holding a rice bag in his hand and shook his head again and again. Meng Haoran didn't think so, he only felt that Guo Li was a man of temperament.

There is only one shopkeeper lying on the counter in the people's rice shop, as if he is asleep, and he does not look like he opens the door to do business. Seeing Guo Li and the three of them coming in, his eyelids were raised, and he didn't mean to come forward to solicit them. No wonder there is not a single customer, who can't stand to walk away.

Guo Li thought it was because he was carrying a rice bag.

Coming out of the people's rice shop, Guo Li saw a girl standing slim on the road, and couldn't help but smile when she saw herself carrying a rice bag.

Guo Li casually stuffed the bag of rice into Sun Li's hand and said, "This bag of rice has been given to Sun Shaoqing." ”

Sun Ti was stunned.

This adult is always unexpected, and he has only heard that the lower official gave gifts to the lower officials, and he has never heard of the adults giving gifts to the lower officials. Sun Ti thought like this, and the rice bag in his hand became more and more unreal.

"You guys go back first, and the case will be investigated tomorrow."

Sun Ti and Meng Haoran saw the girl in the middle of the road and left as if they had realized something.
