The shopkeeper was forty or fifty years old, his expression was gloomy and irritable, probably to hide the emotions in his heart, he always lowered his head slightly and squinted at people, glanced at it quickly, and immediately lowered his gaze, as if he was holding back his anger, and he didn't need to speak, just standing there was already annoying.

He didn't look like someone who could do anything for eunuchs.

"I've already confessed, and I didn't hide anything, and several adults were present at the time." The shopkeeper Niu said coldly, staring at Wei Ying, as if he had been treated unfairly.

Wei Ying said with a smile: "Both the east and west factories agreed that Captain Hu was solely responsible for investigating the case, so he had to ask again." ”

Shopkeeper Niu's gaze finally turned to Hu Guiyang, and said unceremoniously: "He's just a school captain." ”

"Wang Changgong trusts Captain Hu, and Dongchang has no opinion on this." Wei Ying took a step back, saying that she was just listening and had no intention of participating in the conversation.

The cow shopkeeper showed an obvious look of surprise.

Hu Guiyang sat down, pointed to the opposite side, and said with a smile: "Please take a seat." ”

The shopkeeper sat down slowly, "I remember you, you are the captain who sneaked into the store that day." ”

"That's right, it's me, my boss thinks I'm a good mix, so he assigned me to investigate the case."

The shopkeeper laughed and shouted to a few guys in the store, "Why are you standing stupidly? Don't you have any work in your eyes? ”

The guys hurried away.

The store was large, stacked with parcels and wooden boxes, with only enough room for a table and a few stools, leaving a narrow path leading to the backyard.

Hu Guiyang came once, but he didn't look carefully at the time, but then he looked left and right, and felt that the goods were placed very messily, not like an old store that had been in business for a long time.

"That night......" said the cow shopkeeper.

Hu Guiyang interrupted him and said with a smile: "Don't be in a hurry to talk about the scene that night, let's talk casually." ”

Shopkeeper Niu glanced at Wei Ying again, his tone was still cold, "What are you talking about?" ”

"Are there all the herbs in the bag?"

The shopkeeper Niu was slightly stunned, and no Jinyi Wei paid attention to such a trivial matter, "Uh...... There are some, as well as furs shipped from Liaodong, and there will be more medicinal materials in a month or two. ”

"These things are valuable, aren't they?"

"Of course, if you don't have tens of thousands of taels of silver in your hand, you can't afford to open such a deal." The cattle shopkeeper was a little proud, and pointed to a big bag not far away, "See, there are dozens of fine furs inside, and the price is 1,000 taels from me, and after it is cut into clothes, the price has more than doubled." ”

"Hey, this package can buy a house in the city."

"That's it." The cattle shopkeeper became more and more proud, "The merchants from Liaodong are more treacherous than the other, and when they harvest from the hands of the hunters, they desperately lower the price, and when they arrive in the capital, the price can be increased dozens of times." It's hard to do business, I don't have money in my hand, I can't get the goods, I finally get it, and I'm worried that I won't be able to sell it at a good price. During the day, it is anti-thief and insect-proof, waterproof and fireproof at night, and after a year of hard work, the calculation of the income is only 18,000 taels, and you have to go around, and in the end there is nothing more than the remaining capital. Alas, it's hard. ”

"Fortunately, you have a full pot of spring, which is enough to make up for it."

The shopkeeper Niu's face changed, and he glanced at Wei Ying again, and his smugness disappeared, "We are just selling for Manjuchun, and no matter how much income we have, it has nothing to do with us." ”

The cow shopkeeper stroked his beard, which was said to be fake, and Hu Guiyang was really worried that he would accidentally pull off a lock.

"Who is the buyer?"

"All the shops in Wuque Hutong buy from me."

"What else?"

"No, the people who come to me to buy medicine are regular customers, and we don't sell strangers."

"If a customer likes it, how about asking another shop to come and buy a few pills?"

"This kind of thing may happen, I can't control it."

"But do you know which shop buys more medicine than others?"

"I ...... Why do you ask this? It has nothing to do with Tong Feng's murder. ”

"Small talk." Hu Guiyang smiled, "I'm curious, is there a shop like this, which normally buys goods from you and then sells them to other people at a high price, just like those Liaodong profiteers you said?" ”

The shopkeeper was stunned for a while, "If you can buy goods normally from me, why buy medicine from other companies at a high price?" ”

"It's hard to say, maybe the buyer doesn't want to leave a mark here. Could you please tell me if there are any shops that have been purchased in an unusual quantity? ”

"Yes." The shopkeeper Niu said reluctantly, "There is a Huixing shop that enters dozens of pills every three forks, which is more than anyone else, but his family's business is average, and he has not seen it better than others." Anyway, I won't ask more if I pay for it with one hand and deliver it with the other. ”

"Huixingpu? Weng Yuyu, who spent the night with the building and horses, didn't he transfer to this Huixing shop afterwards? ”

"Yes, it's his house."

"After the accident with Lou Concubine, who brought you over?" Hu Guiyang's question took the opportunity to turn to the deceased.

"Lou Fu Ma ......" Shopkeeper Niu looked at Wei Ying again, "This matter is also in his charge?" ”

Wei Ying nodded.

The shopkeeper Niu looked at Hu Guiyang again, "Weng Yuyu's brother came to me and said that my sister had a guest taking medicine and had an accident, so let me go and see." I went in through the back door and found that the person was dead, and I found out that it was Yaoxian, and I didn't want to be involved, so I asked Weng Yuyu's shopkeeper to send the body away. ”

"Weng Yuyu has a brother?"

"It's the son of her godfather Weng Zihua, and everyone calls him a buzzing worm. That's it, Lou Yuma's death has nothing to do with me, I don't know that he came to Wuque Hutong and recognized it from the official document in his purse. The east factory and the west factory have carefully checked ......"

"I'm sure you don't have a problem." Hu Guiyang comforted, in fact, he didn't make a judgment on any statement in his heart, "Lou Juma tasted Manju Spring before, where did he get it?" ”

"I don't know." The cattle shopkeeper spread his hands together, "No matter how good things are, you can't eat more, Lou Horse takes a pot full of common pills, one after another." If you want me to say, he died of his own accord. ”

Although Lou Yaoxian bears the name of a concubine, his background is very ordinary, and he does not hold real power, and the cattle shopkeeper dares to judge two sentences.

Hu Guiyang smiled, "Let's talk about Tong Feng, I heard that he will be reinvigorated after becoming a stranger, is it true?" ”

"Reinvigorate the Spirit...... Phew, who said that? There is no such thing at all. Captain Hu, you don't have to beat around the bush, I have told the adults of the East Factory and the West Factory about these things, and I will not hide them from you. Tong Feng came to Guangxingpu to join me, it was his uncle Yang Shaopu, and the girl he saw was his godsister Yang Caixian......"

"Wait, my sister did it, what about my uncle?"

"Uncle is pro, Yang Caixian is Yang Shaopu's goddaughter, and she is commensurate with Tong Feng's brother and sister."

"It's a bit messy, don't the girls in Wuque Hutong love to recognize their godfathers?"

"There are almost all of them, and some people recognize more than one."

"Hehe, interesting. When Tong Feng was assassinated......"

"Yang Caixian is not here, she has been gone for almost an hour, and she has guests that night."

"What did the two say?"

"You have to ask Yang Caixian about this, their brother and sister often meet, talk about some parents, don't ask me, I wasn't there at the time."

"But you claimed to the East and West that the Assassins that night were one or two young women."

"It was Yang Shaopu who saw it, and he came to Tong Feng at night to talk about things......

"What do you say?"

The shopkeeper frowned slightly, feeling that this captain was a little weird, and he loved to inquire about inconsequential trivial matters, "He lost his gambling money and came to his nephew to borrow money, he often does this, not once or twice." ”

"Well, please go on."

"Yang Shaopu entered the courtyard from the back door, and as soon as he opened the door, he ......"

"He has the key here?"

was frequently interrupted, and the shopkeeper Niu was slightly dissatisfied, "Yang Shaopu is here to help me do things, of course I have the key." ”

Hu Guiyang smiled.

"As soon as I pushed the door in, I saw a woman in white standing in the courtyard, very young, extremely beautiful, more beautiful than the seven fairies in the alley......"

"Isn't that the middle of the night? Can he see clearly? ”

"There's moonshine." There was obvious anger in the Niu shopkeeper's voice, "I called Yang Shaopu here, and you asked him directly." ”

"Don't worry, I'll look for him later, or ask the shopkeeper Niu to talk first."

The shopkeeper softened his tone, "He saw a woman in white standing in the courtyard, and smiled at him, and then flew up on the ground, and disappeared over the roof, he was frightened, looked up, and vaguely saw that there seemed to be a woman outside, also in white. He felt strange and hurried to find his nephew, only to see a corpse. It was he who shouted and attracted a lot of outsiders. ”

Hu Guiyang had nothing to ask for the time being, thought for a while, and said with a smile: "Niu Zaer is not your real name, right?" ”

The shopkeeper immediately changed his face and got up, "Hu Guiyang, you ......"

"Sorry, can't you say that name? No one told me. ”

The corner of the cow's mouth twitched a few times, "That's a nickname given to me by a group of boring guys, laughing at me for not knowing who my biological father is, I've been away for a long time, they chased here to spread rumors, of course I know who my father is, but I don't need to talk about it all the time, right?" ”

"That's right, I'm offended, please ask the shopkeeper Niu to help me invite Yang Shaopu."

The cattle shopkeeper was still angry, kicked the stool, and strode towards the backyard.

Waiting for him to go out, Wei Ying whispered: "Shopkeeper Niu is the nephew of Liang Neishi, you shouldn't ...... Forget it, you don't care anyway. ”

Hu Guiyang said with a smile: "There are really a lot of relatives of the eunuchs here. ”

"Me too." Wei Ying reminded.

"Hehe, don't think about it, let me guess, this Yang Shaopu is the same as the shopkeeper of the cow, and he is also a person who doesn't have a son but doesn't enter the palace."

Wei Ying's eyes widened slightly, "Captain Hu guessed accurately......"

A thin old man stepped in from the backyard, and as soon as he entered the house, he nodded to everyone, with a flattering face, he did not have a fake beard, and his chin was bare.

The shopkeeper Niu followed behind and pushed, "This is Yang Shaopu." He said to the old man: "This is Captain Hu of the West Factory, what do you answer." ”

"Yes, yes, there is no end to what you know, there is no end to what you say." Yang Shaopu bowed to Hu Guiyang again.

Hu Guiyang looked at Yang Shaopu and said for a long time: "How old is the woman you see?" ”

"I didn't see it clearly, I felt very young, in my teens, definitely less than twenty."

"Do you have a weapon in your hand?"

"I didn't see it clearly, it seems to have a sword at my waist."

"Did she smile at you?"

"yes, just a smile." Yang Shaopu tried to imitate it, and his expression became strange.

Hu Guiyang stood up and turned to Wei Ying, "He's lying, I'm going to take him back to Xichang for torture." ”

Wei Ying was stunned, Yang Shaopu was shocked, knelt down, and said in a trembling voice: "Spare your life, Lord Captain, I'll tell you the truth." ”

Wei Ying was stunned again, and Hu Guiyang on the opposite side showed him a sly smile.
