Just after Shenshi, five flatbed boats appeared in Guangshentan, with a deep hull draft, apparently full of cargo. When it stopped at the dock, a person jumped out of the boat and shouted while fixing the boat to the shore: "Niu San, find a few people to unload?" ”

Someone on the dock responded: "Master Guan, why are there only five ships on this trip?" ”

"Five ships less? I didn't see that the ships of the imperial court were lying on their stomachs. ”

The master of Guan Tang set up the planks that connected the boat to the dock on the shore, and Niu San took six or seven people on board.

"Wait for tea after unloading?" Niu Sandao.

"How can there be that kind of effort, these goods are getting more and more expensive, and the gang is counting on these things to feed. Tell your subordinates to take it easy and don't get planted in the river. ”

"Don't worry, it's all old-fashioned."

"That's good, I heard that a floating corpse was found here at noon?"

"I heard that it is the eldest son of the Liu family, and he just won the Jinshi a few days ago. Master Liu has made a lot of money over the years by relying on Guangyuntan, and this time he sent his son to feed the Dragon King. ”

"What nonsense, hurry up and get to work."

There were horse-drawn carriages waiting on the wharf, and it was not long before ten carriages loaded with goods unloaded from the ships headed for the south of the city.

The young man Jianhu stood beside the old gentleman, and below stood a middle-aged man, in his thirties.

"Master Guan, everything is done?" Jianhu asked.

"The helper instructed me to do my best in the next place, and all ten carriages were sent into the warehouse."

"Ten carriages? How many boats are there on this trip? ”

"Originally, there were fifteen ships sent out from Tongguan, but when I heard that a dead body was found at the Guangyuntan Wharf, I thought that five ships were sent out of filth."

"What does the Liu family have to say?"

"The housekeeper of the Liu family came forward and didn't see Boss Liu. I'm afraid that this will make Boss Liu still sad about his son's affairs. ”

"Don't transport the goods from Tongguan to the capital first."

"If the goods are not delivered, what will the brothers eat?" The master of the hall is embarrassed.

"Do whatever you want, this is the order of the helper." Jianhu shouted.

"Let's go to the backyard and rest." The old gentleman spoke.

……

I thought that Yuan Xingchong had been a Dali Siqing for ten years, and he would be able to solve the case soon when he encountered two murder cases, but he didn't expect that there was no movement at all in the two cases in the past few days.

Liu Heming was killed and thrown into Guangyun Pond, what was the purpose of the murderer? If the body is not tied to heavy objects such as stones, it will naturally float after a few days. Where was the first scene of the murder of Liu Heming?

Guo Li unconsciously entered the case-solving mode. There are no fingerprints, surveillance cameras, or inspections, and the only thing that can be inferred is who will profit from it. The only connection between Liu Heming and the county order "Zhuangzi" does not explain anything. The struggle for property in the courtyard of the Liu family's house guessed earlier is purely a bloody plot in the TV series. As for the smuggling of grain and grass, Guo Li handed over to Sun Ti to be responsible.

Just when Guo Li thought that the two murder cases were difficult to solve, Meng Haoran suddenly came to visit.

"Ziyi, let's go to a place together, there may be a discovery." Meng Haoran obviously found some clues.

"Brother Meng is so anxious, what did he find?"

"Yesterday in the restaurant, someone talked about Liu Heming, Liu Heming disappeared after the name of the Wild Goose Pagoda, let's go to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda to see if there is Liu Heming's name. In this way, it can be deduced when Liu Heming was killed. ”

Good idea!

At that time, after going to Beijing to catch up with the Jinshi examination, he would go to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda to leave his name. When Guo Li came to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, he thought he would graffiti everywhere like in his previous life, what...... Come here" and then engrave the name. When you see the neat block letters on the stone bricks, you will know that this is not the case. The people who come here to write their names and give them to the stonemasons first, and then engrave them on the stone bricks. There are also people with outstanding literary talents, who write poems on the spot and become a good story. Guo Li checked carefully, the names on the stone bricks were arranged according to the era, and the last one was the Jinshi on the list of today's subjects, and he didn't find Liu Heming's name.

"Could it be missed?"

"Impossible, if Liu Heming had been here, there should be his name on it."

"It seems that I have to go to Liu's Mansion to ask where Liu Heming went."

Guo Li and the others stepped into Liu's mansion again, and the housekeeper heard that it was from the government, so he hurriedly invited Guo Li and the others into the mansion. Guo Li went to Liu Gongzi's room, and the room furnishings were in line with the habits of a believer. According to the housekeeper, Liu Gongzi was sent to the Taoist temple at a young age and had the idea of being born, so he has not married yet.

Guo Li remembered the matter of "Zhuangzi" and asked: "An old gentleman gave Liu Gongzi a copy of "Zhuangzi", I wonder if the housekeeper knows?" The housekeeper shook his head, this kind of thing is not even clear to the son's personal maid, how can the housekeeper know? The housekeeper recalled, "One day, the son rushed back to the house with a book, stayed for less than half a pillar of incense, and went out in a hurry, and also explained that he would go to the house of a Taoist friend."

"Liu Gongzi said when he would go to the Wild Goose Pagoda to leave his name?"

"Childe said that the villain doesn't know when he went."

Just as Guo Li was asking, he saw a servant girl sneaking out of his head. Guo Li's heart moved, this maid may have something to say.

"You go down first, and I'll call you when there's something." Guo Lizhi opened the housekeeper.

After the butler was gone, the maidservant girl appeared. "Grandma has invited Master Guo."

"Big grandma?" Liu Heming's mother.

Guo Li and Meng Haoran followed the maidservant to the backyard, and a woman's eyes were red and swollen, obviously she hadn't cried much these days.

"Concubine Liu Wushi has seen an adult."

"Madame asked the official to come, is there something wrong?"

"My lord is the master of the people's women, but my son was killed." Wu fell to his knees, weeping bitterly.

"What do you mean by that?" Guo Li asked.

"My son Liu Heming has always been indifferent to fame and fortune and has no quarrel with the world, he has been influenced by Taoism since he was a child, and he doesn't want to gain fame. Liu Wenzhe forced his son to get famous, and finally got in, so he went in a daze. Wu said while crying.

"Who else does Ling Gongzi have a relationship with in his life? Among them, is there a Liuxian order of Wannian County? ”。

"My son is not close to women, but only likes to cultivate. Ping Suri and my son are all cultivators, it seems that they are all monks of the monastic order, and I don't know who the concubines are. ”

Order?
