Wannian County Ya is located in Qinrenfang, there is a Qingchuan wine shop not far away, it is in the morning, there are almost no guests in the wine shop, the lobby is deserted, the guys are busy cleaning, there are guests in the innermost room on the second floor, there are several guards standing at the door, and even the guys who come to deliver drinks are not allowed to enter.

In the room, Li Li was whispering something to Yang Zhao.

"Yang County Order, I also know that this matter is difficult to do, but there is no way, my father has a lot of important letters in Yangzhou Mansion, and now they have been stolen by that thief, this matter is very important, please Yang County Order find the whereabouts of this person for us as soon as possible, my father will be grateful."

Yang Zhao took a sip of wine from his wine glass and said, "His Royal Highness King Qing begged, of course I will do my best to help, but there must be a little clue!" Otherwise, Chang'an is looking for a needle in a haystack, where do we go to find it? It's okay for us to work hard, but we're afraid that we will miss the matter of His Royal Highness King Qing. ”

"We really don't have many clues, his original surname is He, but it is estimated that the name has also changed, I only know that this person recently fled from Yangzhou to Chang'an, Yangzhou accent, not tall, very dark skin, more than thirty years old, originally a businessman who ran by water."

"A merchant running by water?"

Yang Zhao's eyes lit up and he said with a smile: "Recently, there have been a lot of cargo ships in Yangzhou, will he mix in them and enter Beijing?" ”

Li Li nodded, "This is indeed a clue, and we have thought of it, but we don't have the convenience of the government to find it, so we came to ask Yang County Order for help." ”

"Hehe, it's nothing, I'll arrest all the suspects."

Yang Zhao stood up and arched his hand: "Please tell His Royal Highness King Qing that it is my honor to serve King Qing, and I will definitely do my best." ”

"Then thank you Yang County Order, after the person is caught, please be sure to hand it over to our palace, at that time, my father will be rewarded with a lot of money."

．．．．．．．．

Just after lunch, the county government of Wannian County was mobilized, and the county ordered Yang Zhao to issue an order, recently a Jiangyang thief fled from Yangzhou to Chang'an, I am afraid that it will be detrimental to the security of Chang'an, and ordered all the officials to go out to search for the thief, and the focus is on the Caoyun wharf, not only the fleet in Yangzhou, all the fleets coming from the southeast are suspicious, and all the owners must go to the county government to be questioned.

At the same time, Chang'an County is also searching for a flower thief related to Yangzhou, the two counties are almost launched at the same time, and even Jin Wuwei's street patrol has become stricter, and all men with Yangzhou accents are brought to the military for interrogation.

For a time, the word 'Yangzhou' became a flea on Chang'an City.

But Li Qing'an's patrol battalion did not move at all, and they patrolled and inspected as usual.

There is a small mansion next door to the Yizhou Jinju Academy in Chongrenfang, close to the street, although it is a residence, but a few big trees at the door are full of military horses, and from time to time there are soldiers in bright uniforms coming in and out, here is the temporary command center of the patrol battalion.

At this time, Li Qingan and Li Fei Shouyu were discussing the strange things that happened in Chang'an.

"General, it's really strange, Chang'an County, Wannian County and Jin Wuwei are all looking for people related to Yangzhou, what's even more strange is that Chang'an County is looking for flower thieves, Wannian County is looking for Jiangyang thieves, and Jin Wuwei is tracking down human traffickers, all of them are different, but the strange thing is that they are all the same, medium build, dark skin, men in their forties."

Speaking of this, Lifei Shouyu shook his head in confusion, "It's really strange. ”

Li Qingan smiled slightly: "Actually, it's not strange at all, this is because King Qing didn't tell them the truth, only let them catch what kind of people they wanted, so they used their imagination to show themselves, and it would become this result I'm afraid King Qing didn't expect that at this moment, they were startled." ”

Li Fei Shouyu was stunned, "How does this matter have anything to do with King Qing?" ”

"It's not related to King Qing, what did Li Li do when he went to find them?"

Seeing that Li Fei Shouyu was at a loss, Li Qingan smiled and said: "This Yangzhou person is very small, but it can set off huge waves, and it should not be underestimated." ”

This morning, Li Qing'an heard the news from Wang Heng, Yangzhou Assassin Shi Lu Jian and Jianghuai transfer envoy Liu Changyun impeached each other to let go of the salt lord, the two books of compromise have been reported to the province, but there is no news, Wang Heng immediately implicitly told him that what King Qing is looking for is this salt lord, Li Qingan immediately understood Li Linfu's intentions, Li Linfu wanted to investigate the matter himself.

Li Fei Shouyu lowered his head and thought for a while: "Then are we standing by and watching?" ”

"Why sit idly by, we have to investigate this matter to the end." Li Qingan took out a piece of paper and handed it to him: "This is my plan, just act according to my plan." ”

Li Fei Shouyu took the plan and looked at it and said, "I understand, I'll go and arrange it." ”

He got up and hurried away, Li Qingan fell into contemplation again, why did Li Linfu want to meddle in King Qing's affairs by himself, and what was his intention?

．．．．．．．．．

Night had quietly fallen, and the streets of Anderfang were full of people, and everyone was hurrying to get home for dinner, when a man dressed in a soap suit rode into the door, and his face was full of exhaustion, and he was scolding and scolding as he walked left and right on the street, looking particularly impatient.

This man's surname is Jiao, is the Fa Cao of Wannian County, in the officialdom system of the Tang Dynasty, they belong to the officials, no grade, relatively low status, only a little more than ordinary people Yongye Tian, there is a little bit of public money subsidy every month, as for Lu rice, materials, it is even more pitiful, only enough to support the family, so this Jiao Facao is also trying to make extra money, near the New Year, bulk goods have entered Beijing, he found a part-time job in the West City, night for a rice shop to guard the warehouse, one night fifty Wen.

He rushed home to eat two mouthfuls of food, and then changed his clothes and went to the West Market, Jiao Facao's house is in the innermost part of a remote alley, the house is left by his father, it is very old, this is also a piece of his heart disease, he wants to save a sum of money as soon as possible, and repair the house when the summer comes, otherwise when it rains, his house will leak into a mess.

"Lady, I'm back!" Jiao Facao turned over and dismounted, knocking on the wooden door vigorously.

The door opened, and a young woman in a coarse cloth dress came out of the door, pointed to the house, and whispered, "There are guests at home." ”

"Who is it?" Jiao Facao's tone was a little unhappy, how to choose to come when eating.

"It's a few soldiers, led by an officer, and he said that he knows you, I don't know if I should cook for them, and there is not much rice at home."

"Let me see."

Jiao Facao was surprised, he pushed the door into the courtyard, his head suddenly became bigger, there were several soldiers of the patrol battalion standing in his yard, and a long-faced officer was teaching his six-year-old son archery, he knew, it was the deputy envoy of the patrol battalion, Lifei Shouyu.

"General Lifei, you ..... Is there something wrong? Jiao Facao scratched his head and asked.

Li Fei Shouyu let go of his son, and said with a smile: "It's a trivial matter to find Jiao Facao." ”

"What's the trifle?"

Jiao Facao was a little uneasy in his heart, could it be that the matter of his part-time job was known to them? It's not right to think about it, he is working part-time in West City, what does he have to do with Wannian County Patrol?

"Jiao Facao, it's inconvenient for us to talk outside, let's go into the house and talk!"

"Okay, please come in!"

Jiao Facao invited them into the house, and gave the lady a look, meaning that she should not cook.

Li Fei Shouyu sat down, took out a cake of twenty-five taels of silver, and pushed it to Jiao Facao.

Jiao Facao's eyes widened, he looked at Bai Huahua's ingot of silver, and stammered: "What do you mean, what do you mean?" ”

"Nothing? We just want to make a deal with Jiao Facao. ”

"What.... Trade? ”

"Today's search for that Yangzhou person is led by you!"

Jiao Facao was stunned for a moment and said, "That matter was led by County Lieutenant Wang, and I was just his deputy." ”

"At least you know everything, right?"

"Of course, but this matter is very annoying, I have to check it overnight, and I have something to do at night, so I don't care."

Li Fei Shouyu smiled, "Let's go to the West Market to keep vigil!" ”

Jiao Facao was extremely surprised when he saw that they had investigated themselves clearly, and hurriedly said, "You guys just say it!" What the hell is looking for me? ”

"That's right, our patrol battalion also received the same task, looking for this Yangzhou person, and the pressure is very high, but you also know that we have just been formed, and we really don't understand the situation, so we want to make a deal with you, as long as you provide detailed investigation information about Wannian County, I will pay you ten taels of silver every day."

Speaking of this, Li Fei Shouyu pushed twenty-five taels of silver in front of him, "This is extra, how about it?" ”

Jiao Facao's heart was pounding, twenty-five taels of silver, you can exchange twenty-eight taels of silver, and there are ten taels of silver every day, this time he can earn at least fifty taels of silver, how many nights does this take him to watch, with this money, what other night does he go to watch, he can sleep with his wife in his arms at night, besides, this is not a foreign country, just a competition for merit between the two departments, and it does not violate any national law.

Thinking of this, he swallowed his saliva and whispered, "As long as you agree, don't betray me." ”

Li Fei Shouyu smiled, "What's the benefit of us betraying you?" You're not a big deal, and if you betray you, won't you expose yourself? Jiao Facao, you say that's the reason! ”

Jiao Facao finally made up his mind, "Okay! Let's just say it. ”

He stretched out his hand to take the silver, and he was so excited that he burst into the light, and said, "Today we checked the Cao transport ship from Yangzhou and found a clue. ”

"Oh? What clues? ”

"Last night, there was a team of tea boats from Yangzhou, the owner said that they did have a man in his forties on the boat, Jiangdu people, medium height, dark skin, used to do waterway business, fully qualified, this man claimed to be surnamed Su, after going ashore rented a carriage, we found out from the mule and horse shop that he went to the East City, but I don't know which shop in the East City, now the officials have been strictly monitored in the East City, ready to start a one-by-one investigation tonight."

"I see!"

Lifei Shouyu nodded and smiled: "Then why don't you go back now, participate in the investigation together, if you can help us then, we will thank you again." ”

"Okay, I'll leave after eating, lady, cook a little more!"

Li Fei Shouyu hurriedly stood up and said with a smile: "No need, we have to continue to inspect, you just hurry up." ”

A group of people said goodbye and left, Jiao Facao closed the door, and suddenly jumped up excitedly, took out the silver cake, looked left and right, and his eyes were shining.

"Jiao Lang, our family doesn't have enough rice! Or I'll borrow some from my neighbor's house. Jiao Niangzi walked out of the kitchen.

"What kind of rice are you going to borrow, let's make a fortune!"

Jiao Facao stuffed the silver to the lady and grinned: "Your Langjun is still capable!" ”

"Jiao Lang, will something happen?" Jiao Niangzi asked fearfully while holding the silver.

"It's going to happen!"

Jiao Facao patted his chest, "I know it in my heart!" ”

After eating two mouthfuls of hot water and leftover rice, Jiao Facao hurriedly went to Dongshi.
