Chapter 22 Leaking Rumors
In the next few days, Mo Wengu and Lin Ziyue were doing their best to investigate the case of illicit salt, but as they said before, after Zhao's father-in-law's approach startled the snake, it was particularly difficult to investigate the case in depth, and since then, Mo Wengu always felt that there seemed to be someone staring behind them when they were investigating the case, but every time they turned around, they couldn't find anyone.
It's another morning.
Lin Ziyue had already gone to the vicinity of Heifeng Village early in the morning to collect evidence, and since Fu Dongli left, Heifeng Village has become much depressed, and even stopped doing business, and has done the old business - robbery.
Since then, the clues of Black Wind Village have been completely broken.
A letter came from the palace the day before yesterday, urging them to speed up the handling of cases, and telling them that there was still a steady stream of illicit salt circulating outside these days. If this continues, presumably the emperor will definitely send another person to Chenzhou to investigate, and at that time, no one will be able to protect Shu Zicheng.
Mo Wengu walked down the street, thinking secretly in his heart.
"No, I must think of a way...... Mo Wengu said to himself firmly, "Paper can't hold the fire, sooner or later this matter needs to be settled, and sooner or later someone needs to bear this charge." ”
It's just that...... This charge must not fall on Shu Zicheng's head.
Mo Wengu's heart was in a mess, these trivial things that had happened for a while and Shu Qing's cold face passed in front of his eyes instead, leaving her six gods and her heart in turmoil.
Although Shu Qing is no longer so resistant to him and will try to meet him, his behavior is still as detached and even indifferent as before.
"Shu Qing...... What do you have to do to forgive me? Mo Wengu groaned.
He also knew that at the moment when Shu Zicheng was in danger, he thought that it was indeed a very despicable means for him to come in exchange, but this was all a delaying tactic.
"One day I will let you know that I am willing to do anything for you. Even my life. Mo Wengu's tone was soft, but his eyes were extremely affectionate.
Walking and walking, I unconsciously went around to Wanhe Street.
Wanhe Street is already a marginal area in Chenzhou City, where the houses are old and sparsely populated, only more than ten families live loosely, and the warehouse of Shufu in Chenzhou is almost at the end of Wanhe Street.
Mo Wengu walked along the path alone, just to try his luck in this neighborhood.
Before he could reach the storeroom, Mo Wengu heard a low conversation.
Perhaps because Wanhe Street was relatively cold during the day, the people who spoke were not fortified at all, and only chatted as usual.
"Aunt Li, why are you looking so bad these days, are you not feeling well?" A voice of vicissitudes asked.
"No, no." The woman's voice seemed a little nervous.
"If it's okay, how can I see that you have been in a trance for the past few days, or is there something on your mind?" The man asked again.
The woman sighed: "Brother Zhang really has good eyesight...... Actually, a few days ago, I saw a big secret near Shihua Lane, and I ...... I saw people carrying goods in the black alley. ”
Brother Zhang: "There are many warehouses on our street, which is not strange." ”
Aunt Li was silent for a moment, and then deliberately lowered her voice: "If it's ordinary goods, it's fine...... Hey, the man in the car was so mysterious that he didn't even notice that he had dropped a bag. The slave family kindly picked up the bag and wanted to return it to them, but those people had already gone far away, and they didn't know which business had left it behind. ”
Brother Zhang: "Then how did you dispose of that bag of goods later?" ”
Aunt Li sighed: "The slave was originally going to be sent to the government to be dealt with by the government, but after thinking about it carefully, I still had an extra heart to take it out and look at it first, and now I think about it, fortunately the slave did not transport it to the official office, otherwise the slave is afraid that he will be in a different place at the moment." for the sack was filled with ...... It's a whole bag of salt. ”
"What? It's no wonder that I think the sky in Chenzhou has always been gloomy these days, and it turns out that something big is going to happen. I don't know which trading house is so bold as to dare to sell illicit salt in this Chenzhou. Iniquity, what a iniquity. ”
Aunt Li was a little helpless: "Who said it wasn't?" The slave is just a woman's family, and he is still a poor people, how can he provoke such a thing? The slave is now afraid that someone will come to the door and arrest the slave. ”
When Brother Zhang heard this, he hurriedly gave her an idea: "I said Aunt Li, you must not keep this thing, you should take advantage of the night to throw it in the river and drown it, otherwise it will be too late when everyone comes to the door." ”
"Brother Zhang has a point, the slave threw it away tonight. It's just that...... Who would be so bold as to make such a deal? ”
"Chenzhou is so big, there are only two or three warehouses on our street, who else can there be? I guess it's the Shu family, I heard that the Shu family has a big business, maybe it was started by this! ”
Mo Wengu hid in the back of the room and heard all the words of the two of them clearly.
Hearing these words, he couldn't help but frown.
At present, things are developing in the direction of getting worse and worse, and the case of private salt has almost become known to the whole city, but I am afraid that it will not take ten days and half a month to affect Shu Zicheng's head again.
"No, I can't wait any longer." Mo Wengu knew that something was urgent, and now that he had been pushed to the edge of the cliff, he had to make a decision earlier.
Leaving Wanhe Street, Mo Wen returned to the inn by himself.
When he returned to the guest room, Lin Ziyue happened to have just returned from Black Wind Village.
"Brother Lin, what is the result of today's verification?" Mowen Advisors.
Lin Ziyue propped her chin and shook her head with a dejected expression: "Previously, our investigation was wrong, and Black Wind Village has completely lost its suspicion." And there is only one person to whom all kinds of evidence point to, and that is Uncle Shu......"
Mo Wengu took a deep breath, and his eyebrows were slightly raised: "The situation on my side is not optimistic, I am afraid that in less than seven days, Chenzhou will be in chaos." ”
Lin Ziyue shook his head and smiled bitterly: "As a Dali Templeman, I have always been quick to cut through the mess, and I have never encountered such a difficult case...... At the moment, I don't know how to proceed. ”
Mo Wengu's eyes flickered: "I have a way to alleviate the urgent need here, but in order not to affect Brother Lin, I also need Brother Lin to cooperate with this king......"
Lin Ziyue was curious: "What way?" ”
"Brother Lin's ears come up." Mo Wengu beckoned.
Lin Ziyue did so, and when he heard Mo Wengu's words, his eyes widened in shock: "You...... You are crazy? ”
"No, now there's only one way left." Mo Wengu narrowed his eyes and said to him firmly, "Early tomorrow morning, we will act separately......"
This time, he must clear Shu Zicheng's name in one fell swoop!
