Hua Feiyan took the list written by Zhang Chang and carefully looked at them one by one.

Liu Zhang, the king of Taiyuan, is unlikely to do such a thing, as the most favored nephew of the Son of Heaven, and he is a king, why would he use such a means to kidnap women.

It is impossible for the great Sima Wu Han to do such a thing, Wu Han already has his favorite wife at home.

Jianwei General Geng Yi, impossible, Geng Yi is young, he has become a general, a young talent, and there are not many aristocratic ladies who pursue Geng Yi.

There are also Gaiyan, Laishu and so on.

In Hua Feiyan's opinion, they are all impossible.

Continuing to look down the list, I saw Jingzhao Mansion, Fufeng Mansion, Feng Yi Mansion, etc.

People in these government agencies also often enter and leave Chang'an and will not be interrogated.

But the possibility of people in the government doing something to rob the people's daughters is very small.

Continuing to look down, there seems to be nothing suspicious about the people on the list, as well as the various government offices.

Just when Hua Feiyan was about to read the list and thought that she was going to find nothing, she suddenly saw a name, Xiping Granary.

She stopped at the name, pondered for a moment, and asked, "Zhang Jingzhao, why can this Xiping granary go out of the city without being checked?" ”

Zhang Chang glanced at the list and said: "Xiping granary is one of the largest grain merchants in Chang'an, and the grain merchant who sends ingredients to the official has always been the Xiping granary. ”

"Oh?"

"The flower beauty also knows that Guanji is a place to worship the god of grains, and a considerable part of the ingredients purchased by Guanji are tribute, and Jingzhao Mansion is really ...... It's really hard to search it carefully. ”

When it comes to tribute and offerings to the gods, this is very sensitive, if the Jingzhao Mansion is too tough, and it has to search for the ingredients of the officials, it will cause public anger if it is not done well.

Zhang Chang is a bold man, but when it comes to religious matters, he also has to think twice.

After listening to his explanation, Hua Feiyan also understood the reason why Jingzhao Mansion did not search the Xiping granary.

She asked casually: "How often does the Xiping granary send ingredients to Guanji?" ”

Zhang Chang thought for a while and said: "I used to go once every ten or eight days, but recently I have been going more often, once every three or four days. ”

Hua Feiyan asked, "Why have you been going so often lately?" ”

Zhang Chang said: "Isn't it the Autumn Society Festival?

Guan Ji began to prepare the ingredients one or two months in advance for His Majesty to eat at Guan Ji. ”

As a result, these preparations were all useless, and His Majesty did not eat at Guanji at all.

Hua Feiyan nodded, it was reasonable to explain it like this.

She read the list from beginning to end again, and she didn't know why, she just felt that in this list, only this Xiping granary was the most eye-catching.

She didn't say anything more, took the list provided by Zhang Chang, and left.

Hua Feiyan did not return to the palace, but went to Yuhua Pavilion.

Now the shopkeepers and guys in Yuhua Pavilion have all been replaced by people from Yunxi Pavilion.

The boss behind the scenes has changed, but the business of Yuhua Pavilion is still thriving, even more popular than before, in front of the main entrance, there is a lot of traffic, diners in and out, an endless stream.

In a study in the backyard of Yuhua Pavilion, Hua Feiyan sat in the middle, and there were three people standing below, one of whom was the shopkeeper of Yuhua Pavilion, it was Xu Zheng, and the other two, one was Liu Buxin, and the other was Ma Kai.

Xu Zheng was originally the leader of the gangsters in Luoyang, and Liu Buxin and Ma Kai were both his subordinates.

Later, Xu Zheng brought his brothers to join Yunxi Pavilion, and they were all reused by Hua Feiyan.

This time, Yunxi Pavilion expanded its power to Chang'an, and Hua Feiyan asked Xu Zheng to be the shopkeeper of Yuhua Pavilion, to put it bluntly, it was to make him the person in charge of Yunxi Pavilion in Chang'an.

Liu Buxin and Ma Kai are both Xu Zheng's deputies.

In the study.

Hua Feiyan took the tea that the maid had just cooked, took a shallow sip, then put down the teacup, looked at Xu Zheng and the others, without any extra nonsense, and asked straight to the point: "Recently, there have been frequent cases of missing women in Chang'an City, do you all know about it?" ”

Xu Zheng, Liu Buxin, and Ma Kai glanced at each other, and said in unison: "Mrs. Hui, my subordinates have heard of it." ”

In private, the people of Yunxi Pavilion do not call Hua Feiyan a beauty, but call her Mrs.

"Why don't you report it?"

Hua Feiyan asked.

"This ......" They think that this is an ordinary case, but the other party's modus operandi is relatively clever.

The main responsibilities of Yunxi Pavilion are, firstly, to probe the enemy's intelligence, and secondly, to find out the enemy's detailed work on their side.

As for ordinary cases, they are not in their charge, and the local government is responsible.

Seeing that neither of them spoke, and Hua Feiyan did not blame, she asked, "How much do you know about this case?" ”

Xu Zheng said truthfully: "Madam, I haven't paid much attention to it, and I can't talk about how much I know. ”

"Now, then, it's time for you to fully understand the case."

Hua Feiyan said helplessly: "Now there are rumors that those missing women are related to Your Majesty......" Hearing this, Xu Zheng, Liu Buxin, and Ma Kai's bodies were all shocked, and the three of them said in unison: "Madam, this is pure nonsense!" ”

Hua Feiyan waved his hand at them, and Zhengse said: "Whether it is nonsense or not, no matter how ridiculous and ridiculous this rumor is, in short, it has already involved Your Majesty, and it is no longer a trivial matter.

This time, when His Majesty learned of this, he was furious, and also reprimanded our Yunxi Pavilion for its inaction, and gave us Yunxi Pavilion three days to investigate the case. ”

Xu Zheng, Liu Buxin, and Ma Kai glanced at each other, all of them looked embarrassed, this case, Jing Zhaoyin pursued it for a month or two, but did not find any clues, and now suddenly let them Yunxi Pavilion find out the case within three days, it is really difficult for some strongmen.

Hua Feiyan Zhengse said: "Yunxi Pavilion can have today, all thanks to the support of Your Majesty, Your Majesty in our Yunxi Pavilion, not only invested a lot of money and resources, but also has high hopes for our Yunxi Pavilion, so no matter how hard and difficult it is, we can't let Your Majesty down." ”

Xu Zheng, Liu Buxin, and Ma Kai looked straight, bowed down in unison, and said, "Yes!" Madam! ”

Hua Feiyan said: "In addition to the palace, Jing Zhaoyin has searched Chang'an, but found nothing, which means that the missing woman has either been transferred out of the city or hidden in the palace." ”

Xu Zheng's face changed, and he stammered, "This ...... This can't be, Your Majesty ......" "Even if they are really hidden in the palace, they may not have anything to do with Your Majesty. ”

After all, Chang'an does not have only one palace, but three palaces, like Changle Palace, which His Majesty has never been to at all, and Jianzhang Palace, where His Majesty only met the Guishan envoy Di Rang.

If there are really thieves who take advantage of this, it is not completely impossible to secretly hide those women in the hidden places in the palace.

She said with a straight face: "Here in the palace, I will go to investigate carefully, and the direction of your investigation can focus on those women who are no longer in Chang'an City." ”

"Madame mean, the thieves smuggled them out of the city?"

"It's the only possibility."

"But during this period of time, Jingzhao Mansion has conducted strict checks on people entering and leaving the city."

"But it's not all checked."

Hua Feiyan handed the list written by Zhang Chang to Xu Zheng and said, "This is the list of people who have not been interrogated.

Among them is a grain merchant named Xiping Granary, which I think is very suspicious, so you can focus on investigating it. ”

With the direction of the investigation and the specific object of the investigation, Xu Zheng and the three of them secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

If there is a goal, it is easy to say, if there is no goal, let them investigate with both eyes, let alone three days, even if it is thirty days, they may not be able to find out anything.

Xu Zheng took the bamboo slip with both hands, bowed to Hua Feiyan, and said, "Madame, don't worry, my subordinates will definitely find out this Xiping granary in two days at the latest!" ”

Liu Buxin asked curiously, "Madam, my subordinates have a question." ”

"Say!"

"Since the Xiping granary is just a grain merchant, it goes in and out of Chang'an, why doesn't Jingzhao Mansion check it?

Could it be that the water behind the Xiping granary ...... Deep? ”

Hua Feiyan hooked the corner of her mouth, revealing a smile, she was very satisfied with Liu Buxin's keenness, and she deserved to be a person valued by His Majesty.

"That's exactly what I'm going to say," she explained.

The reason why the Xiping granary in and out of Chang'an was not investigated was because they were sending ingredients to the officials. ”

"Guanji?"

"Hmmm! The ingredients of Guanji have always been purchased from the Xiping granary, and the ingredients sent out of the city by the Xiping granary involve the tribute of the official, and Jingzhao Mansion does not dare to touch it easily.

For fear of offending the gods, he was also afraid of arousing public anger. ”

"I see."

Liu Buxin's eyes rolled, he was dazzled, and whispered, "Madam, what if...... If there is really a problem with this Xiping granary, then ...... I'm afraid that the official will also ...... Maybe ......" Hua Feiyan waved his hand, interrupted him, and said: "I don't want to listen to these ambiguous and specious words, everything we present to His Majesty needs to be based on real evidence, not speculation. ”

"Yes! Madam! ”

The three of them responded in unison.

"Alright, let's all go about it! Don't forget, we only have three days, so the sooner you find out, the better! ”

After Hua Feiyan finished speaking, he picked up the teacup again and drank the tea slowly.

Xu Zheng, Liu Buxin, and Ma Kaiqi bowed to Hua Feiyan, and then Yuguan withdrew from the study.

When he got outside, Liu Buxin said: "Brother Zheng, tonight I plan to go to the Xiping granary, sneak in, and explore its reality." ”

Xu Zheng said with some concern: "If there is really a problem with the Xiping granary, it is tantamount to the Longtan Tiger's Den, if you sneak in, once you are discovered, I am afraid that it will be difficult to get out!" ”

Liu Buxin said confidently: "Brother Zheng doesn't know me either?

If I can't beat it, I can still run away! ”

If you want to say that Liu Buxin has the ability to escape, it is indeed very powerful, he is quick-witted, quick-witted, and has learned illusions.

Even if someone who is much more powerful than Liu Buxin wants to capture him, it will be extremely difficult.

After thinking about it, Xu Zhengsi reminded: "If you don't believe it, you must be more careful, and you must not act recklessly, even if we can't find anything, we can also think long-term and start from other places." ”

Liu Buxin said: "Understand, don't worry, Brother Zheng!" ”

After a pause, he said quietly: "If I can come out safely and soundly, it means that the Xiping granary may really be fine, and if I don't come out, then the Xiping granary must have a problem." ”

Xu Zheng's face sank, and he scolded: "Don't talk nonsense! ”

Liu Buxin smiled: "Brother Zheng, I just said it casually." ”

"Can you just talk nonsense about this kind of thing?

You are the Yunxi Pavilion that followed me, and Your Majesty also favors you, you kid can give me a longer life, maybe I will count on you in the future! ”

Liu Xiu really admired Liu Buxin very much, and intended to let him do things by his side, but later Hua Feiyan took the initiative to ask Liu Xiu for someone, and Liu Xiu let Liu Buxin temporarily take up a post in Yunxi Pavilion.

It can be said that Liu Buxin's future development space is indeed much larger than Xu Zheng.
