Chapter 114: Striking the grass and startling the snake

"It's so fragrant, brother, let's eat first, I'm hungry."

"Ling'er, smell the fragrance, hungry again?"

"What, it's dinner time."

The scent came from a small shop on the side of the road, and when I looked up, I saw that the plaque of the small shop read "Zong's Ham Shop".

According to research, since the Tang Dynasty, Jinhua folk began to cure ham. And the reputation of Jinhua ham was started in the Song Dynasty, more than 100 years ago in the Song Dynasty Yiwu nationality (belonging to Jinhua) anti-gold famous general Zong Ze, once the hometown "pickled legs" dedicated to the imperial court, at that time was still the King of Kang Song Gaozong Zhao saw that its meat color is bright red like fire, red and white distinct, lean meat fragrant and salty with sweet, fat meat fragrant but not greasy, delicious, so full of praise, given the name "ham", also known as "tribute leg". Because ham is concentrated in Jinhua, it is commonly known as "Jinhua ham". In order to commemorate Zong Ze, the younger generations enshrined him as the ancestor of the ham industry, and since then, Jinhua ham has been famous all over the world for thousands of years.

In front of the hotel, a portrait of Zong Ze is hung to show authenticity.

At noon, I ate some dry food on Chisong Mountain, and at this time I was already hungry, and with the rice wine made by the small shop, everyone was happy.

Song Chengzu waited at the inn for a long time, and after returning to the house, he said: "Childe, these Jinhua Mansion has screened all the outsiders in the past month on the grounds of investigating household registration, and a total of sixty-nine people are still in Jinhua. ”

I first looked at the data files of the twelve people, and the name of Tang Feng in Hejiazhuang was impressive on it.

Tang Feng's original identity credentials are very simple, male, twenty-six years old, place of birth unknown, wandering around when he was young, thirteen years ago with his stepfather Tang Tianhao settled in Muzhou Qingxi (now Chun'an, Zhejiang), no merit and fame, no bad deeds.

The following is the record of the official inquiry, Tang Feng claimed that because of the fruitless study, traveled around, came to Jinhua for the first time last month, saw the outstanding people here, and borrowed to live in the house of He Dongfu, the housekeeper of Hejiazhuang, and then met Hejiazhuang to recruit relatives, won and became the fast son-in-law of the owner of He Zhuang.

Tang Feng, Tang Feng, will it be Hu Feng?

Thirteen years ago, it coincided with the time of Hu Feng's disappearance.

"Mr. Song, what do you want to do next?"

"Childe, I want to focus on further investigation of these twelve people, and send people to spy on them and look for clues."

I said "En", and after carefully reading the records of the twelve people, I said: "Mr. Song, you immediately arrange for the official servants to inform the sixty-nine people above to report to the government office tomorrow morning and apply for temporary identity certificates." ”

"Temporary credentials?"

"Yes, when applying for temporary certificates, we can check whether any of these people have martial arts by the way."

"Childe means to compete?"

"That's not necessary."

With Yuan Thorn here, I don't think it's a difficult thing, unless the murderer's martial arts are higher than Yuan Thorn, then at least he has to be the end of the world.

Although Song Chengzu didn't know what method I used to investigate, he didn't dare to ask more.

I continued: "In addition, if Hu Yun's wanted notice is posted in a prominent position, if the murderer is among these people, there will always be some clues." ”

"Childe, wouldn't it be a surprise to the snake like this?"

"Hehe, I'm just going to startle the snake, if the murderer hides in the grass and doesn't come out, we can only wait, but if we can get him out of the grass, we have a chance to capture him."

Song Chengzu thought for a while and said, "Well, what Gongzi said is reasonable, Gongzi, whether to control and monitor these people overnight, or only to target these twelve people." ”

"Mr. Song, you arrange for your subordinates to keep an eye on the remaining eleven people, this Tang Feng is full of martial arts, and he is in Hejiazhuang, I will arrange for him to be monitored."

"Yes, Childe."

"Hu Yun still has no news?"

"Not yet."

"By the way, you have a catcher under you who is good at tracking, it seems to be called Hou Qiang."

"Yes, Childe is good to remember his surname."

"You let him keep an eye on the periphery of Hejiazhuang."

"Yes, I'll do it immediately, Childe, there's nothing else, I'll retire first."

"Wait, Mr. Song has been an official in Jinhua for three years, do you know the dialect here?"

Song Chengzu smiled proudly: "Childe, I am still quite talented in language, wherever I go, I will quickly learn the local dialect, my Jinhua dialect is exactly the same as what the locals speak." ”

"Well, that's good, you're like that."

"Yes, yes, got it, Childe."

After Song Chengzu left, I said to Yuan Jian: "Sir, explore Hejiazhuang tonight, you can arrange for someone." ”

"I'm going." Fang Ling was the first to shout.

Yuan Jian smiled and said, "Miss Fang, it's important that you stay and protect your son." Lan Yu, Shen Mo, the two of you will go on a trip. ”

I practiced the Shadowless Technique and went to bed early. After walking on Chisong Mountain for a day, plus the fact that I didn't need to go to court in the morning, I slept soundly until Fang Ling woke me up for breakfast.

Before breakfast, Lan Yu Shen Mo also returned to the inn, everything was normal at night, He Jiazhuang was calm, Tang Feng except for chatting with He Dongfu, the official family in the village, practiced in the house all night.

"Lan Yu, Shen Mo, it's been a hard night, you don't have to go to the mansion with me for a while, just rest here."

"Childe, it's okay, it's nothing."

Yuan Jian also said: "Yes, Childe, this little thing is not enough to say, let's go together." ”

In a large house at the side gate of the Jinhua Mansion, sixty-nine people lined up to apply for temporary identity documents, and a row of wanted notices for Hu Yun were posted on the wall outside the house, but most of them did not pay attention to the notices on the wall. Fang Ling and the others and I stood in a small room next to us, looking at the group of people through the window.

"Brother, look, that's Tang Feng."

Among these people, whether it is appearance or temperament, Tang Feng can be regarded as outstanding. Tang Feng's eyes stayed on the wanted notice for a moment, his face did not change in the slightest, and he looked indifferent.

An elderly official with a hunched back checked the people who entered in turn in front of the door, and Yi Changjiang and several other officials maintained order in front of the door, and kept saying: "Everyone, line up, prepare the original identity documents, and accept the inspection one by one, and you are not allowed to bring weapons inside." ”

Tang Feng accepted the examination of the elderly official very calmly, and the official touched Tang Feng's body lightly, and said in a deep voice: "No problem, go in, next." ”

"Name?" Song Chengzu in the room asked.

"Tang Feng, this is the original identity certificate under the Xia."

Song Chengzu took it and looked at it, asked a few random words in a very heavy Jinhua local accent, and then took out a blank voucher stamped with the seal of the Jinhua Mansion, filled it out and handed it to Tang Fengdao: "It's okay." ”

It didn't take long for all 69 people to complete the temporary vouchers.

I went to the big house and said to the old servant, "Sir, how is it?" ”

"Childe, except for Tang Feng, no one has martial arts."

Fang Lingle said: "Mr. Yuan, you really look like a servant." ”

Song Chengzhi was suspicious: "In this way, it can be seen that there will be no one among those people who will be disguised, right?" ”

I smiled and didn't explain, "Mr. Song, what have you found here?" ”

Song Chengzu didn't dare to ask, and hurriedly said: "Childe, I chatted with Tang Feng casually in Jinhua dialect, and Tang Feng coped with it easily, which is not something that an outsider can do at all." ”

Inside Hejiazhuang.

"Virtuous son-in-law, it's all done so quickly?"

"Father-in-law, it's done."

"Well, recently, these good students have practiced the martial arts of our Red Pine Sect, and on the first day of June, I went to the Treasure Accumulation Temple with the old man to read the Red Pine Sticker together."

"Yes, father-in-law." Tang Feng replied respectfully, "By the way, father-in-law, don't the officials of this Jinhua Mansion like to speak official language?" ”
