Chapter 276: Clues
Compared with the previous letter to the Southwest Mansion that did not respond for a long time, this time the news from the Southwest Mansion came very quickly, so fast that Zhen Shiyuan did not expect.
"Ten years ago, a caravan set out from Xintong County in the southwest province, and when it set out, the caravan was 52 people and 21 guards. And their purpose is to go to sea, and the goods they bring are Xintong's medicinal materials, and they are ready to sell Xintong's medicinal materials overseas. Zhen Shiyuan looked at the response sent by Yin and Xintong County Orders of the Southwest Prefecture, and his eyebrows jumped, "Before leaving, I also went to the Southwest Mansion to get the documents to go to sea in case they were detained, and after taking the needs of the road and these medicinal materials and goods, they set off." ”
"The people in the caravan are all local medicinal herb merchants in Xintong County, and at the beginning, there were family letters from all over the place, and these family letters were stamped with the seals of various post stations, so there was no problem."
"It wasn't until I entered Shanxi Road that the medicinal herb merchant wrote in a letter saying that he was in a hurry, so he didn't write a letter to his family, and he would send a letter home on the way back. After that, none of the people in the caravan had any contact with the Southwest. ”
Zhen Shiyuan read this, and glanced up at the girl who had been sitting for a while: "It seems that there is nothing wrong, those white bones are this caravan of Xintong in the southwest." ”
The girl nodded and said: "They are talking about going to sea, the sea is stormy, the climate is impermanent, and it is common to have an accident. ”
This point can be confirmed by the records of the Chang'an Chamber of Commerce.
"In addition to the medicinal materials you mentioned above," Zhen Shiyuan said, picking up a list of goods in Yin's reply letter from the Southwest Prefecture, and said, "The lost goods Xintong locals call it Dayanhua, which is said to be used in medicine and has the effect of relieving cough and pain." ”
"That's right." The girl breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, "No wonder Chang'an, who is obviously here, is going to be called the sea." ”
Zhen Shiyuan said strangely: "Is there anything special about this big flower?" ”
"The big flower is Hibiscus." Qiao Ran said and turned around and went to his desk to take an old copy of the "Hundred Herbs", and said, "This is a book of medicinal herbs compiled by pharmacists from all over the world, although the content is similar, but there are still some slight differences after being revised by pharmacists from all over the world. I found this one in a second-hand bookstore outside the city. ”
She pointed to the word "Xintong" in the corner and said, "This is the "Baicao Collection" compiled by the local medicine merchants of Xintong. ”
After saying this, she opened the book again, pointed to the herbs on one of the pages and said, "This is the herb they call Dayanhua locally." ”
After saying that, the girl picked up a copy of the "Hundred Herbs" compiled by Chang'an Pharmaceutical Merchants and flipped through it, turned to the page of A Furong and pointed it to him: "Look, are Da Yanhua and A Furong exactly the same?" ”
Zhen Shiyuan looked at Ah Furong with different names on the two "Hundred Herb Collections", and suddenly said: "So I came to Chang'an but I wanted to lie that I went to sea because His Majesty has strictly banned the sale of Ah Furong." ”
Qiao Ran nodded: "Because this matter can't be done, I can only tell a lie, but no one thought that such a lie would cost them their lives." ”
He who does what he cannot say to others will have evil intentions, and no one can predict what will happen when dealing with those who have evil intentions.
"If it's Fleur, it can explain why that tunnel is so hidden." Qiao Ran said, "If it is to transport A Furong through that tunnel, naturally it cannot be leaked to the outside world." ”
It seems that as soon as the three words "A Furong" come out, many inexplicable and strange things can be explained.
The reason why the murderous mansion is a murderous mansion is because the people who live in the mansion found out what those people were doing in the tunnels, so they were killed. The disappearance of the caravan in Xintong County, southwest province, was not reported because the local people only thought that the people of the caravan had died in the wind and waves, and no one knew that they had not gone to sea at all. According to the corpse, it is very likely that the twenty-one guards colluded with others to attack the people in the caravan, and as a result, they were also killed, which was the end of seeking skin with the tiger.
Finally sorted out all the strange things so far, Zhen Shiyuan seemed to feel something, sighed, and said: "The relatives of the caravan in Xintong County have already set off, and after coming to Chang'an and checking the records with the Chang'an Chamber of Commerce, it can be confirmed that those people are the caravan that disappeared back then." ”
It is already clear who is dead, so the next step is to find out who is the person who used that tunnel to transport Fleur.
"Because the people in that caravan did this kind of thing back then to hide from their relatives, so there are no clues in this regard for the time being," Zhen Shiyuan put away the letter from the Southwest Mansion, "We only have a clue about A Furong now." ”
"It's also a coincidence, the two male corpses sent to our Dali Temple by Princess Baling's Mansion today are because of A Furong who died," Qiao Ran pointed to the autopsy document that Fang had given to Zhen Shiyuan, "Your Excellency hasn't seen it yet!" ”
He hadn't seen it yet. Zhen Shiyuan coughed lightly, picked up the autopsy document that was sealed and read.
"What a providence!" After reading the autopsy results, Zhen Shiyuan put down the autopsy papers in his hand with a complicated expression.
Ignoring the ban on smoking Fleur, it was providential to die because of Fleur in the end; An evil that has been buried for at least ten years is also providential because the body of that year was turned out because of a rented house; It seems to be covered up by dripping water, but after all, it is a hundred secrets, so that they can find out that the owner of these white bones is providential; The owner of these white bones found out to Fleur, which is even more providential.
"I found the clue of Ah Furong, and someone at the other end sucked Ah Furong and died. If there is justice in heaven and earth, I think this is justice. The girl laughed, and seemed to be in a good mood, "If you have a clue, you can check it, now that Princess Baling has provoked the wrath of the saint, the adults only have to report what they have found to Your Majesty, and Your Majesty has no reason not to allow your Excellency to search the Princess's Mansion." ”
The fear of investigating the case is that there is no trace, and if there is a trace, it is not difficult to investigate.
And now, the princess's mansion is a crucial clue.
Sure enough, after Zhen Shiyuan played in the court on the second day, it immediately caused an uproar, His Majesty was furious on the spot, and ordered Zhen Shiyuan to strictly investigate the case.
A few days ago, Yushitai's complaint was not digested before the news was obtained, so it's no wonder that Your Majesty is not angry! His Majesty's reaction, Zhen Shiyuan was not surprised at all, and bowed his head to receive the order.
When he returned to Dali Temple at the end of the court meeting, Zhen Shiyuan did not delay, and happily counted the accompanying officials and Qiao Ran to prepare to go to the princess's mansion together.
"My lord, it's not good to take me with you!" Qiao Ran looked at him with a smile and said.
This case was taken by Zhen Shiyuan himself.
Zhen Shiyuan stuffed the holy decree in her hand with a straight face, and pointed to the officials working in the hall: "They are all busy, and you can only disturb others if you stay here." Instead of disturbing others, it is better to disturb the official, don't be verbose, go quickly! ”
