Li Longji sent the next task to investigate the case. Guo Li liked to watch crime-solving movies in his previous life, and Di Renjie was an idol. What "Tongtian Empire", what "Shendu Dragon King", "Four Heavenly Kings", Guo Li has seen it. In the movie, unless there is any big case or important case, Dali Temple needs to come out, but I didn't expect that within a few days of taking office, I was sent by the emperor on an inconspicuous errand.

The speed of investigating the case is only fast when there is a helper, Guo Li called Sun Li and Meng Haoran to investigate the case together. One is Shaoqing of Dali Temple, the other is a master of inference, with these two people by his side, what case can't be solved? Not to mention a small case of smuggling of grain and grass?

"Smuggling of grain and grass?" Sun Ti asked, Chang'an is located in Guanzhong, since the Sui Dynasty built the capital of Chang'an, it has attracted the country's merchants and literati, the Tang Dynasty is famous, many merchants from the Western Regions and Central Asia came to Chang'an, saw such a prosperous city, most of them settled down. Chang'an City is home to millions of people. The country's grain was transported to Guanzhong, and with the interruption of the transportation, the grain in Guanzhong became increasingly scarce. Last year's locust plague and grain production were reduced, making it increasingly difficult for Chang'an City, which was already stretched thin on grain and grass, and grain prices were already rising. Some unscrupulous businessmen took the opportunity to hoard grain and grass, and even a large amount of grain and grass entered the Guanzhong area in order to sell them at high prices

Li Longji has long known that some people are smuggling a large amount of grain and grass, because the grain and grass are indeed insufficient, these grain and grass smuggled to Chang'an just make up for the lost part, and the imperial court turns a blind eye. This year, the price of grain and grass has increased since the beginning of the year, and now the price has doubled that of last year. Li Longji specially explained to Guo Li that the ultimate purpose of this case is not to punish, but to allow more grain and grass to enter Chang'an.

Guo Li naturally understood.

"Why don't we go for a walk together?" Guo Li said.

The three of them were in the political garden at the moment, and Guo Li called Sun Ti to find Meng Haoran.

"Since the previous dynasty, the Guangtong Canal was built, and Chang'an Cao Yun was unimpeded. Now that the rivers along the way are silted up, the big ships cannot be moved, and the small boats are not able to carry enough capacity, so I wonder how these people can smuggle grain in? Sun said.

"Regarding the method of Caoyun to build a warehouse, it has been submitted to Pei Zhuan, it depends on whether he can pay attention to it."

"Siqing actually has a good solution to Cao's luck?" Sun Qiqi said.

The good strategy for transporting grain has already been informed to Meng Haoran, and at this moment Meng Haoran smiled and said: "Don't underestimate Ziyi, although the method is a little clumsy, it is indeed a good strategy at present." ”

Sun Ti heard Meng Haoran call Guo Li in white clothes, and knew that the two had a great relationship.

"Several granaries were established between Tongguan and Luoyang, and grain was transported when the water transportation was unimpeded, and grain was stored when the water transportation was blocked. As for where to choose and build a granary, it depends on Pei Yang's decision. ”

Sun Li thought for a long time, and finally nodded.

The three of them walked to Guangyuntan Wharf, and due to the interruption of transportation, there were not many ships at Guangyuntan Wharf. Just then, someone on the dock shouted, "There's a body here." ”

Wu Lao Liu is the sixth in the family, and he begs for a living on the dock all year round. In the past few years, the recession has become more and more sluggish, and the work on the dock has become less and less, and Wu Lao Liu still has a wife and children to support, counting on the increasingly difficult life on the dock. I heard that japonica rice in Chang'an City is getting more and more expensive day by day, and a few days ago, the new transfer envoy went to the dock to inspect it, and Wu Lao Liu happened to meet it. Answering the question of the transfer envoy, Wu Laoliu asked the adult, "Can Caoyun be passed, if it continues like this, the people at the dock will run out." The transporter smiled and said, "Don't worry, you have a bite to eat." In the second half of the year, there will be more ships at the dock. Wu Lao Liu will be suspicious, and come to the dock every day to look for work, and by the way, see if there are really more ships on the dock as the transshipment envoy said.

I didn't expect there to be more boats on the pier. These boats Wu Lao Liu knows, and they belong to the Cao Gang's boats, not official ships. The ship was full of food. A bag of 100 catties resists a bag of grain for a penny. Wu Lao Liu is young and strong, and he carries dozens of bags a day. This is a situation where there are few people at the dock, if there are many people, the grain bags are being carried away, where is it the turn of Wu Lao Liu? I didn't expect to come to the dock today and find a dead body, which is really filthy. A corpse appeared on the dock, and it seemed that there was no work for today. Idle is also idle, Wu Lao Liu stared at how the officials of the government solved the case.

The people on the dock ran towards the place where the body was found.

After Guo Li and the three of them looked at each other, they all walked in the same direction.

The body was quickly recovered ashore by the ship's family, and the man, about twenty years old, was wearing a light-colored scribe's robe, presumably a scholar.

"It's so young, in its twenties, it's pitiful."

"It seems that there may be a Jinshi in this year's middle school."

"It seems that I have to report to the official and let the yamen see if he is drowning."

……

Wu Lao Liu scoffed, what's so strange about seeing a dead person on the dock? Those who drowned, those who came to a foreign land and were sick and could not live and committed suicide by throwing themselves into the river, those who were murdered, those who died and were thrown into the river, and there were many others.

Someone had already reported the case, and half an hour later, two officials came to the scene with a servant.

"What do you two think?"

"The body was floating and had been in the water for at least three days. Wearing a scribe's robe, it is very likely that he participated in this year's imperial examination. There are no strangulation marks on the neck, the face is normal, and it is likely that the body was thrown after death. "Sun Ti is worthy of being the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and his observation ability is no less than that of Meng Haoran.

"Whoever falls into the water struggles hard before he dies and sucks in a lot of water. The deceased had a flat stomach, and it was clear that the deceased had been dumped here after his death. The place where the deceased died should not be too far from here. Meng Haoran expressed his opinion, and Sun Ti just made up for it.

Guo Li was very happy in his heart, with these two people by his side, why worry that the draft grain would not be broken?

After the examination of the body, the two officials prepared to take the body back to the county office.

"Wait."

Guo Li stepped forward, revealed his identity, carefully inspected the corpse, and finally found a strand of cyan silk thread in the corpse's nails. It seemed that there were no more clues, and the official brought the body back.

"Why don't you follow to the county office and see how the county officials solve the case?"

Meng Haoran's proposal was agreed to by Guo Li and Sun Li.

The three of them followed to the Wannian County Ya, and Wu Laoliu also followed to the Wannian County Ya, but he didn't expect the county official to be there. The two officials reported the situation to the county officer, who was in his forties, surnamed Mu, and had been a county official in Wannian County for three years. Mu Xiancheng had already learned from the mouth of the official that the three in front of him were officials of Dali Temple, and he did not dare to slack off, so he personally went to the back hall to ask for the county order.

Wannian County Ling's surname is Liu, a native of Chang'an, and a Jinshi in the third year of Kaiyuan. The county officials at the feet of the Son of Heaven are not easy to do, and if they don't do it well, they will offend any noble prince.

Just when Guo Li was just picking up the teacup and drinking tea, he saw Mu Xiancheng hurriedly running over and said, "Liu Xian Ling is dead." ”

Such a coincidence?

As soon as I went out, I encountered a homicide case, and when I arrived at the Wannian County Office, the county order died?

Mu Xiancheng led us to the back hall. He hasn't left yet.,Follow behind to inspect the body.。。

Wannian county magistrate usually lives in the county yahoutang. This is the general specification of the county office, the front hall office, the bright and bright, the mirror hangs high, and the back hall lives in the family.

Mu Xiancheng died in the study, and a book fell on the ground. The officials inspected the scene and found no useful value. The county didn't go out last night, and he stayed in the back hall today and didn't come out. The windows were closed, and the door was just closed, which ruled out that someone had entered the house and committed murder.
