"Tang Qingyuan's situation has been investigated!"

Hearing Su An's report, Lin Zhao was somewhat excited, he had no clue about the murder of the illegal salt dealer in Fangjia Village, and the only way to expand the connection was this Tang Qingyuan. Just a seafood merchant? At least Lin Zhao was skeptical...... Su An said: "As expected by Gongzi, Tang Qingyuan may have been the largest smuggler of salt in Hangzhou a few years ago. ”

"Oh?" Lin Zhao's heart moved, and now there was finally a breakthrough. As for how Su An found out, Lin Zhao didn't care, all in all, he must have a way and his own channels.

Su An explained: "Tang Qingyuan used to be just a small trader with a little money, but he was not very wealthy. About ten years ago, he began to gradually become rich, especially six or seven years ago, and became the richest man in Hangzhou.

How can you make so much money selling seafood? Some people say that Tang Qingyuan was lucky and found a pearl in the sea. In fact, he has been engaged in illegal activities such as selling illicit salt! ”

New discoveries, finally found some clues about Hangzhou's private salt, maybe this is the breakthrough.

Lin Zhao nodded and said: "This is not surprising, selling illicit salt is a profiteering industry, and it is normal to accumulate a lot of wealth in a short period of time. ”

"But Tang Qingyuan's luck is not good, three years ago on the Shangyuan Festival, the Tang Mansion accidentally broke out into a fire, and dozens of members of the family were all killed in the fire." Su An sighed and said: "Maybe it's retribution, the locals in Hangzhou who know the inside story say so." ”

"Do you believe it was an accidental fire?" Lin Zhao's rhetorical question has already indicated his attitude.

Su An also hesitated: "Indeed, it is true that Shangyuan has many lights, but why is it so coincidental?" ”

Lin Zhao said coldly: "It's not strange that it's on fire, but it's strange that dozens of people in the family have burned to death, and the huge courtyard, is it possible that the Tang family didn't notice it at all?" Can't get out of a single live mouth? ”

"Yes, I heard that the situation was indeed the case at that time, and by the time outsiders found out, the fire was already raging, and there was no time to rescue, and the wailing and screaming from inside were terrifying." Su An added: "After the fire was extinguished, dozens of charred skeletons were found in the fire, and people were preconceived......

Lin Zhao said: "It is possible to burn to death." But it is undeniable that there is also a possibility that the Tang family's movements have been restricted, so that they cannot escape when the fire is gas, and then they are burned alive! ”

"It's possible, but it's too cruel!" Being killed little by little and not being able to escape is definitely one of the greatest pains in the world.

Lin Zhao sighed: "Tang Qingyuan is the largest smuggler in Hangzhou, and his identity is sensitive, so this possibility is very big. As for the reason? Go without saying! ”

"You mean ......?"

"Either killing people and killing people, or fighting for power and profit, in short, it is not a righteous act." The corners of Lin Zhao's mouth moved slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "In other words, there must be something wrong with this Tang Qingyuan." ”

"Then the direction of the investigation is mainly on the case of Tang Qingyuan's murder?"

Lin Zhao asked, "Tang Qingyuan's entire family is dead?" Are there any other relatives, or friends, or affiliations? ”

"After the Tang family had an accident, my friends were afraid of getting into trouble, so they all stayed away. As for the subordinates in the past, they have all worked very hard, and Fangjia Village has encountered a flying disaster this time, but I am afraid that no one will come forward. Su An said: "As for the relatives of the Tang family, Tang Qingyuan has three sons and a daughter, and he is married to a man surnamed Mu...... Because it was the Shangyuan Festival, the children all came back for reunion, so they were all buried in the fire...... Presumably the murderer also saw such an opportunity to destroy the Tang family? ”

"Surname Mu?" Lin Zhao couldn't help but pause when he heard this, and muttered: "It's a coincidence, it's quite similar to Mu Sihong......"

"yes!" Su An smiled: "But this word is different, one is the quiet Mu, and the other is the bathing Mu." ”

Lin Zhao said softly: "The surname Mu is from Duanmu, which is rare, not to mention how many Qinglou singers use their real names?" ”

"Could it be that Cheng Gongzi thinks Mu Sihong has anything to do with Tang Qingyuan?" Su An was a little surprised, Lin Gongzi's associative ability was really good.

Lin Zhao hesitated: "I can't say it, I have this feeling, I have a vague intuition, since there are doubts on both sides, let's check it carefully." ”

"Yes!"

Now any clues can't be easily let go, Su Shi is coming, collect as many clues as possible before this, which is conducive to the next move.

"In this case, you might as well go and meet Mu Sihong, or just startle the snake, at least you will gain something." With this mentality, Lin Zhao came to the West Lake openly to look for flowers and willows.

After receiving the news of Lin Zhao's arrival, Mu Sihong was still a little surprised, and wondered: "What is he doing here?" ”

"Miss, don't you want him to come?" Yu Tong was a little puzzled.

Mu Sihong nodded and said, "I hope he comes, but if he comes so uninvited, will there be other ......?"

"Probably not, Miss should have confidence in herself." Yutong said: "Are there still few Hangzhou scholars who have come to visit these days?" That Fushui Hou came for a few days, but it was Lin Gongzi, who didn't come to the door for a long time. ”

"Forget it, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, and the door is a guest, since Lin Zhao is here, it is also a good thing, let's go to the meeting first!" Although she didn't know why, Mu Sihong still greeted her with full enthusiasm.

"Lin Gongzi is here, the slave family is very honored, so happy!" Mu Sihong's delicate expression, with a little bit of coquettishness, is very cute.

Lin Zhao said with a smile: "Where, since I saw Miss Mu that night, Fang Rong has been in my mind for a long time, and I even think of Miss Mu's smile when I dream." There is a feeling that I don't see each other for a while, so I have to come uninvited, Miss Mu is not strange! ”

"It's like every other autumn, Lin Gongzi is really funny, you can come, it's the honor of the slave family, can't you ask for it?" Mu Sihong's heart throbbed slightly, but she was more confused, Lin Zhao's performance seemed to be slightly different. Especially such sweet words, she was even more surprised, could it be that his real surname is like this? During the sensitive period, I had to be cautious, Mu Sihong tried her best to play on the spot, but she was full of doubts in her heart, and even played some drums.

"Lin Gongzi, please!" Mu Sihong warmly invited Lin Zhao to board the boat, and the maid served fragrant tea in time. Lin Zhao took a sip, the fragrance was pleasant, and praised: "Good tea, Miss Mu's taste is really extraordinary." ”

Mu Sihong said with a smile: "Gongzi said this, the slave family has no place to be ashamed, how can it compare with the good tea that Gongzi ate in Bianjing?" ”

"It's different, it's more fragrant and pleasant, and it tastes great!"

Mu Sihong said with a smile: "It's just taking advantage of the location, there are many tea mountains by the West Lake, and it is convenient to pick them on the spot." And this water is from a nearby mountain spring. ”

Mentioning this, Lin Zhao couldn't help but think, the best tea by the West Lake, the most famous in later generations is undoubtedly the West Lake Longjing. I have been in Hangzhou for so long, and I have not heard anyone hype about Longjing tea, could it be that this variety has not yet begun to be planted? Or maybe it's not so famous now? If so...... Hehe, inadvertently, Lin Zhaoyou sniffed a potential business opportunity. When this is over, I have to inquire.

Seeing this, Mu Sihong asked, "Why is Lin Gongzi laughing?" Could it be this tea...... Makes you laugh. ”

"Where, where, this tea is excellent, the freshly picked tender tea leaves, and this mountain spring water, so that eating tea is interesting." Lin Zhao naturally didn't leak major business opportunities, and instead asked, "Miss Mu, have you been staying here?" ”

"Yes, or on the shore, or on the lake." Mu Sihong replied truthfully.

Lin Zhao said: "What about safety?" Although West Lake is often frequented, it is a wilderness after all, what if there are bad people? ”

"Hangzhou has always been peaceful, and the slave family has never offended any enemies, so there is no need to worry." He cared about my safety, Mu Sihong felt a little warm in his heart, and he also had some doubts, how could Lin Zhao suddenly mention this.

Lin Zhao immediately said with a big smile: "Where is Hangzhou peaceful, a few days ago, there was a big case in Yuhang County, more than 40 people were killed, didn't Miss Mu hear about it?" ”

Mu Sihong chuckled in her heart, what did he mean by this? Immediately, his expression was a little unnatural.

"Miss Mu, what's wrong with you?" Lin Zhao saw it in his eyes and hurriedly asked with concern.

Mu Sihong said in a low voice: "I heard it, it's quite scary, Childe just mentioned it, it's really scary." ”

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Lin Zhao said: "But the safety issue really cannot be ignored, Miss Mu naturally doesn't have to worry about committing murder." However, the young lady has a shy appearance like a closed moon, and it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no womanizers...... Ah, in short, Miss Mu lacks a guard, and it is naturally inconvenient for men, if only she was a woman who knows martial arts. ”

Mu Sihong's heart suddenly became vigilant, why did Lin Zhao keep talking about it, why were these things mentioned so sensitive? Could it be that he knows something? Are you here to tempt today?

"Thank you Lin Gongzi for remembering, the slave family will be careful." Mu Sihong replied cautiously.

Lin Zhao smiled again: "Miss Mu's voice is like a yellow bird, quite Wu Nong's soft tone, is she from Jiangsu and Zhejiang?" ”

Question about the place of origin? Mu Sihong was even more apprehensive in her heart, and nodded hesitantly: "Yes!" ”

"The Duanmu clan is a prominent clan in Hanoi, so Miss Mu's ancestors must have migrated south, right?"

Mu Sihong realized that something was wrong, and she had to change the topic as soon as possible, and hurriedly said: "It should be, it's a pity that my parents died early, otherwise the slave family would not have been left out and reduced to a dusty land......" As he spoke, he also cried and whimpered, and lost his voice several times.

Belch...... Lin Zhao also felt that it was a bit too much, and hurriedly comforted: "I'm sorry, Miss Mu, I lost my words and reminded Miss of the sad past." However, people are precious and self-respecting, and Miss must not be self-despise. ”

Mu Sihong nodded lightly, wiped the tears on her face, and said, "What the son said is that the slave family will remember it in his heart." ”

At this moment, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps at the door, and a man shouted loudly from afar: "It's too much for a big man to bully a weak woman!" ”

The person who came was Zhao Zhongshan and Chen Hong, and when the enemy met, he was very red-eyed.

Lin Zhao smiled in his heart, it came just in time!
