Chapter 244: An Unexpected Discovery

The consequences of kidnapping an ordinary person may not be serious, but the kidnapping is a high-ranking official, and the nature of this will change, and the gangsters are very likely to kill people and kill people without stopping to be discovered by the imperial court, as long as they do not leave clues, the imperial court is helpless.

"This ...... How good is that? Tao Zhenzhu patted his head in annoyance, looking a little depressed.

"Brother Tao doesn't have to worry too much, fortunately, there are still some clues at the moment, as long as the identity of the bones is found, and then follow the vine, it is not difficult to find Lord Shangshu." Kang Xu briefly analyzed the situation for him and comforted.

"The bones are already decomposing, how easy is it to find out the identity of the bones? The teacher has been missing for so many days, and if it is delayed any longer, I am afraid that the teacher will really worry about his life! Tao Jizhu said worriedly.

"Chang Feng has gone to investigate according to the clues, and I believe that there will be results soon, I have already informed him, so that after he finds the clues, he will come here to meet me immediately." Kang Xu poured a bowl of tea and pushed it to Tao Jizhu.

At this moment, Chang Feng ran out of the city gate in a hurry, and he saw Kang Xu and Tao Jizhu sitting in the tea shed at a glance, trotting all the way over.

"Big ...... My lord, I found it! Chang Feng said breathlessly.

"Drink your saliva first, sit down and talk slowly." Tao Jizhu saw that he was out of breath, and hurriedly handed him the tea.

Chang Feng took the coarse porcelain bowl, drank it with a bang, then enlarged the bowl, wiped the water on the side of his mouth, and said: "According to the statement provided by the adults, we asked all the restaurants in the city, and there is indeed a restaurant that has seen the deceased. ”

"Oh? They didn't admit it? Kang Xu asked.

According to the shopkeeper, the man used to use his left hand. His right arm was always hanging in his sleeve robe, but the shopkeeper had accidentally seen his right hand hidden under the sleeve robe. From the palm of the hand to the wrist, it was almost twisted. About that. The shopkeeper is very sure. Chang Feng wiped the sweat from his forehead and said.

"Did the shopkeeper say that there was anyone who followed him at that time?" Kang Xu touched his nose and asked.

Chang Feng shook his head and said, "No, he was the only one at that time." However, when he was settling the bill, he gave the store a letter and ten taels of silver, and asked the store to deliver the letter to the 'Tianlai Inn' if he did not return the next day. ”

"Where's the letterhead now?" Kang Xu hurriedly asked.

"The letterhead was delivered by the store the next day." Chang Feng fanned the wind with his sleeves and said: "My subordinates have already gone to the 'Tianlai Inn' to check, and the inn has long been empty, and there is not even a ghost." ”

Kang Xu's brows suddenly twisted. Pondering, "Have you investigated the information about the 'Tianlai Inn'?" ”

"This 'Tianlai Inn' is no stranger, the shopkeeper and I know each other, I went to ask him, he said that the inn was chartered six days ago, and gave him twenty taels of gold, so that he and the rest of the men all left the inn." Chang Feng said.

"Oh? Did he say who the other party was? Kang Xu asked suspiciously.

According to the treasurer, the men seemed to be merchants, men and women, about one or twenty. Those people rarely spoke. But the man who gave him the gold was recognized by the treasurer. ”

"Who is it?" Kang Xu's heart moved, and he hurriedly asked.

Chang Feng scratched his head and spit out a name strangely: "Lu Jitong." ”

"Lu Jitong?" Kang Xu and Tao Zhenzhu were both surprised at the same time. "Didn't the shopkeeper recognize the wrong person?"

"He was very sure that person was Lu Jitong." Chang Feng said with a serious face.

Several people fell silent at the same time. Things are getting more and more complicated, this matter is actually implicated in Lu Jitong, could it be that the disappearance of Lord Shangshu is also related to him?

A moment passed. Tao Jizhu slammed the table and said angrily: "I'll go back to Lu Jitong to settle accounts." The teacher must be in his hands! ”

As he spoke, Tao Jizhu was about to get up and leave.

Kang Xu grabbed his sleeve. said: "Brother Tao, don't be excited, there are still many doubts in this case. Let's take the deceased and the person in the restaurant as the same person, and he asked people to send a letter to the 'Tianlai Inn', indicating that he and Lu Ji knew each other. I guess they must be the same group, and they have chartered the entire inn, indicating that they need to stay in Zhengyang City for a long time. ”

Speaking of this, Kang Xu rubbed his eyebrows and sighed: "It's a pity that I don't know the content of the letter, otherwise, the relationship between them can be introduced." ”

"Ahh Chang Feng suddenly let out a loud scream, which immediately startled the two of them.

Patting his head vigorously, Chang Feng took out a dusty envelope from his arms and said, "My lord, this is the letterhead I picked up at the 'Tianlai Inn', it must have been accidentally dropped by those people when they left in a hurry." ”

Kang Xu suddenly became overjoyed, this is really bright, he hurriedly took the past, opened the letterhead and looked at it.

"What is this word and how does it look...... Well, so weird? Chang Feng hadn't read the contents of the letter, so he hurriedly leaned over to watch it.

But when he saw what was written in the letter, he was confused.

"This is Dongying script." Kang Xu looked at the letterhead, frowned, and handed it to Tao Jizhu casually: "Brother Tao, you are a bachelor of Hanlin, I don't know if you can recognize what is written on it?" ”

Tao Jizhu took it in his hand and looked at it carefully, shook his head and said: "This is indeed Dongying script, but I have never touched it and can't understand it." ”

"Dongying people?" Chang Feng suddenly thought of something, and said in surprise: "Could it be that they are the murderers who poisoned adults?" ”

"Which adult was poisoned?" Tao Jizhu asked curiously.

Kang Xu's heart was not good, Tao Zhenzhu had never seen Li Canghai, so he couldn't recognize him as pretending to be a county magistrate. Isn't Chang Feng going to show his stuffing when he says this?

Kang Xu coughed a few times, making himself sluggish, and said with a wry smile: "I was assassinated a few days ago, and the weapon used by the assassin was from Dongying. I was lucky enough to get my life back, but the accompanying master Kang Xu is still in a coma, and I don't know if I can survive it. ”

Tao Zhenzhu was surprised: "There is such a thing? ”

Chang Feng knew that he almost missed his mouth, so he hurriedly changed the topic and said: "We have been secretly looking for the identity of Dongying assassins these days, but they seem to have suddenly disappeared, but I didn't expect them to hide in the 'Tianlai Inn' all along. ”

"It's too early to say whether they are murderers, but one thing is for sure, there must be a connection between Lu Jitong and them. Only by figuring out the contents of the letter can we move on to making a judgment. Kang Xu muttered.

"There are people in the Hanlin Academy who are proficient in Dongying writing, and now that the Holy Lord is in Luoyang, the Hanlin Academy will inevitably come with him, if the adults believe me, you might as well leave this matter to me, and I will find someone to crack it." Tao Zhenzhu thought for a while and said. (To be continued.) )
