On the way to Yan Yanchang's house, Wu Decai said: "There is only one wound on the deceased's body, which is a knife wound. Someone died by a cut in the throat. The time of death is about dusk! ”

At dusk, it was after Feng Manlou and Xiaoyun found out about Zhao Ziliang and Mrs. Wang's annihilation. It seems that the murderer is still one step ahead of himself.

Liu Dutou also said that at that time, after Xiaoyun notified himself, he hurriedly took someone to monitor the two masters, and did not find anything abnormal, and no one saw them contact with anyone.

Feng Manlou knew that these people were killed, and it was obvious that they were extinguished. Now Bao Ping's case involves the dam [***] case, and there is only one defendant in this case. And in Yan Yanchang's case, he was the only defendant, and he died.

The plaintiff has a lot of evidence, and there is a lot of evidence, the key is that these evidences, the plaintiff, are not very powerful, the only direct evidence is the account book in Yan Yanchang's house, as well as some contracts, agreements and the like.

Therefore, Feng Manlou's task this time is to find clues to these evidences.

When he arrived at Yan Yanchang's house, he found that the Long family's house had already been hung up, and the coffin was parked in the courtyard.

Corpse manipulation has long been experienced. Feng Manlou greeted Yan Yanchang's family, but it was an old man, who was Yan Yanchang's father, two little boys, one was about seven or eight years old, and the other was about four or five years old. There are also three daughters, the eldest is twelve years old, and the younger is six or seven years old.

Feng Manlou asked Old Man Long and said, "Old man, when did you find the deceased?" ”

Old man Long said: "My lord, the grass people did not find out about Xiao'er's death, but when they observed that the adults came, the grass people went to call their son, only to find that Xiao'er was already angry. ”

Feng Manlou asked again: "Before the people from the Yamen arrived, could they find anything unusual about the deceased?" ”

Old Man Long said, "I haven't found it. At that time, after the child went home, he ran directly to the study, and stayed in the study for an afternoon, until the yamen came to observe and found that my son was dead! ”

Feng Manlou let Old Man Long take him to the scene of the deceased, this is a study, if the study is going through the courtyard, it is not far from everyone's wing.

And Feng Manlou noticed that if there was a sound in the study, then it must be heard outside, and the murderer would definitely be found when he came in, but now the murderer came in quietly.

It shows that this murderer must be a very powerful character. Feng Manlou thought for a while and asked Xue Badao: "If it's you, can you sneak into the study from the outside without being discovered?" ”

Xue Ba said: "Yes, yes, but it's difficult!" If someone really infiltrates and is not discovered, it means that this person is at least very high in martial arts and is not under his subordinates! ”

When did Feng Manlou hear it, when did he have such a powerful person? Xue Ba's skills, Feng Manlou has seen it, and asked again: "How is the martial arts of the other three compared to you?" ”

Xue Ba said: "It's all about the same! However, if it were to sneak in without being detected, all four of us could do it. However, it doesn't have to be so neat! ”

Feng Manlou thought for a while and said, "Let's go to the scene!" ”

When I opened the door of the study, I found that it was very messy everywhere, and the wind was full of buildings and asked Xue Badao; "Did you search when you came in?"

Xue Ba hurriedly said: "Yes, but it's just to search for the murderer's whereabouts!" That's what the scene looks like. Except that the body is still outside and inside the coffin, the others are exactly the same as now! ”

Feng Manlou looked at it and found that these places were full of crooked appearances, which seemed to have been turned over. However, inside a drawer, Feng Manlou found that it was locked before, but now the lock has been smashed.

Feng Manlou carefully took out the contents of the contents, but found that some contract agreements and the like were some overlord clauses. However, only part of the ledger should have been taken by the murderer.

And these title deeds can only prove that what Mrs. Wang said is indeed true, and can also be used as evidence for a direct verdict. However, over the years, the losses of the merchants in Yuhang can no longer be traced.

Feng Manlou felt as if something was blocked in his chest, and every critical moment, he was destroyed.

So far, the truth of the two cases has basically been revealed, but Feng Manlou is not happy in his heart, the real culprit behind the scenes has not been caught, but someone has made a scapegoat.

However, even so, Feng Manlou also knew that these two cases would be resolved quickly.

Feng Manlou asked people to bring the evidence back to the yamen, went out to Yanchang's house, took a few people, and followed Zheng Shulin to the lime mine.

Far away, Feng Manlou found that there was a very conspicuous pool outside the lime mine, and this pool was made of cement.

Zheng Shulin directly took Feng Manlou to the pool and said, "My lord, please see, this is made of the cement you let the villain burn, it is very strong!" ”

Feng Manlou took a look, it looked a bit like cement, and now it looks like it should have dried up. Kick hard with your foot, but it is very strong. I smashed the stone again, but it was still very hard, but there were some signs of damage to the pool.

Feng Manlou said: "The quality of this cement is not very good. You also have to find ways to improve the level of craftsmanship. In addition, that's all there is to these recipes, it's just that when it's produced, it's up to you to perfect the technology. ”

Indeed, this is just the cement made by the current process, although it looks smooth on the outside, but it is obvious that the particles are still coarse, and they cannot be compared with the cement of later generations, especially the hardness. However, it is already much stronger than lime.

At this time, Wang Qiong ran up, greeted Lord Feng, and said, "My lord, the grass people's mine is now starting to produce cement, do you need it?" ”

Feng Manlou smiled: "You're quite smart, aren't you?" If you have this cement, many people in the Great Song Dynasty will definitely come here. ”

Wang Qiong smiled: "Thanks to the blessing of adults!" ”

Feng Manlou said: "This official is not the cement that you tested, but for the Great Song Dynasty. But now, this cement can naturally be handed over to you for production, and the official promises not to hand it over to other mines. But this price, the price at which it will be sold in the future, must not be too expensive. ”

Wang Qiong smiled: "Of course! However, if other mines really want to produce cement, we can't stop it. It's just that we're ahead of the curve, and the natural quality is better. If the grass people are not mistaken, the cement of the adults is ready to be used to build the embankment, right? ”

Feng Manlou smiled: "Exactly! So I just want to discuss with you today, how should the cement for the construction of the dam be priced? ”

Wang Qiong hurriedly said: "What do you say, how much cement is needed for the embankment, this mine will be all covered, and all will be given to you at cost price, my lord thinks it's good!" ”

When Feng Manlou heard this, he smiled happily: "Wang Yuanwai, you have done a good thing for the people of Yuhang!" In this case, this official will point out a way of wealth to you, do you know how much money the imperial court spends every year on building the Yellow River embankment? ”

When Wang Qiong heard this, she suddenly came to her senses and said, "What the adults said is exact! The villain is thinking about it, but this money is very tight on hand! ”

Feng Manlou said with a smile: "It's easy to do, isn't there a Huitong Bank!" ”

Wang Qiong thought for a while and said, "Thank you for your advice!" ”
