Seeing that the wedding date was approaching, Du Zihong was so anxious at home that he couldn't wait to come to Jiangzhou to arrest Du Zhong in person.

"It's getting worse and worse! People who are about to get married are still running around and not doing their jobs! Du Zihong's face was blue.

Mrs. Du was dissatisfied: "Zhong'er is going to investigate the case, why is he not doing his job?" ”

"Investigate and handle cases! What else will he do besides investigating and handling cases? The wedding date is coming soon, the groom is not there, who is the bride marrying? ”

"Didn't you write to Zhong'er a few days ago? He'll be sure to come back when he sees it. ”

Du Zihong's eyebrows were twisted into a figure of eight. "Come on, I'm angry with the old man!"

Jiangzhou

"My lord, a month ago, Lin He had an argument with the son of the head of Jiangzhou County in the market, and accidentally killed him, and Lin He fled." Wang Cheng became enlightened.

"Therefore, Lin Songchang exchanged his life for his life, and used his own initiative to sacrifice to save Lin He's life." Du Zhong stood up, and he still had to start with the Su family.

The Su family is a big family, with 18 shops under their name, mostly dealing in silk brocade, medicine and tea.

Su Chengfeng, the master of the Su family, is a well-known benevolent person. His two sons were also shrewd and capable, and both were able to take charge of their own affairs.

Unexpectedly, overnight, everyone died, and the people of Jiangzhou were embarrassed.

Among the news that Du Zhong learned, one of them caught his attention. Cheng Yuan, the boss of the Su family, suddenly left the Su family for no reason four years ago, and this seat has been vacant.

Du Zhong tried to find Cheng Yuan, but it was like a stone sinking into the sea, and there was no news.

On this day, Du Zhong was about to go to Su Mansion, a little boy ran over and stuffed a note into his hand, Du Zhong looked around, found a remote place to open:

"By the endless river, Shizhong Mountain rings."

Eucommia rolls up the paper ball and holds it tightly in the palm of his hand.

When Du Zhong and Wang Chengcheng arrived at the Wuya River, an old man was rowing a small boat slowly.

He went ashore and took off his coat and said with a smile, "You two have been waiting for a long time!" ”

"After reading the note, I came over immediately."

"You're smart." The old man nodded.

Wang Chengcheng scratched his head, "My lord, I know that Wuyahe is the name of the place, but what does the sound of Shizhong Mountain behind it mean?" ”

"Su Zizhan floated in the water at night and knew the origin of the name of Shizhong Mountain. The old man meant that if you want to know the truth, then come to him. ”

Wang Chengcheng suddenly realized, he sighed in a low voice, "An adult is an adult." ”

"If I'm not mistaken, Your Excellency is Cheng Yuan, the head of the Su family."

The old man nodded: "Yes, I'm Cheng Yuan." I've been waiting for you for a long time. ”

"Old man, please tell me the truth?" Eucommia stabbed straight in.

"The truth? What if you know the truth? The old man's eyes were sad.

"Pay back the innocent and innocent, give the adulterer and punish it."

The old man laughed with his hands, he waved his hand, his eyes were angry, "What kind of good and evil are there in this world. What are the people? Once involved in the struggle for power, the people are the lowest ants. ”

"Something happened to the Song family, which I expected."

"Can you elaborate on that?"

The old man glanced at him, "I know they won't let me go." For so many days, I was away from my family and busy running for my life. I'm tired of this kind of life. ”

Four years ago, the second prince Yuan Mian and the Ministry of Industry Shangshu Huang Han came to Jiangzhou in the name of building water conservancy, and the two found the merchant Su Chengfeng through Wang Tuo.

Su Chengfeng had many trade contacts with the Nanhu countries, and the weapons and good horses of the Nanhu have been famous for a long time. The second prince hoped that Su Chengfeng could buy a large number of weapons and BMWs for himself.

"The lord originally didn't agree, but he was always dissatisfied with his humble status as a businessman. The second prince promised that as long as the lord helped him, one day, he would be crowned the lord as a second-class official. ”

Cheng Yuan sighed, "I tried hard to persuade the master not to get involved in this extremely dangerous matter, once the matter is exposed, the Su family will have a big disaster." But the old man didn't listen, and in desperation, I left the Su family. ”

He paused, "After two years, the old man is seriously ill. The eldest prince began to take care of the house, he had always disapproved of the master's approach, and now he found a way to withdraw from this cooperation. He came to me for advice, and I knew that it was difficult to ride a tiger now, and I had to think about it in the long run. ”

"I didn't expect the eldest prince to be so high-spirited that he went directly to the prefect of Wang for a showdown, and I hadn't seen him in those days. Not long after, I heard that the Su family was wiped out, but I didn't expect them to put the blame on Lin Songchang. I don't know why he confessed, but I know he is innocent. ”

He let out a long sigh, "How can we ordinary people have insight into the political turmoil and treacherous waves?" ”

Du Zhong was shocked in his heart, and the meaning of the second prince was clear.

If you forge weapons, there will be many soldiers. Once it is necessary to send, it will be hit as soon as it is launched. So, is Hu Xiaolin's death also related to this incident?

"Old man, I need you to go to the capital with me."

Cheng Yuan waved his hand: "The old man doesn't care about the world now, he just wants to spend the rest of his life safely." ”

"But you're an important witness."

Cheng Yuan smiled and shook his head, "Please Lord Du, don't be embarrassed by old age." ”

Du Zhong frowned, "I'm worried about your safety. ”

"Rest assured, this place is private and safe."

"That's it, Du is not reluctant."

"Today, the old man told Lord Du the facts, and the rest is up to you, Lord Du."

Du Zhong hugged his fist and thanked him. "Time is pressing, Du is leaving, take care of yourself, don't leave it at that."

In this case, there are no real innocents. Everyone is encapsulated in their own selfishness and desires, and they can't break free.

As a result, the edge of life and death is pulled into one unwilling life after another, and the potential turbulence in the world spreads little by little.

Where are the weapons hidden? The Ministry of Industry is still in a high position, how can he find out? Will the emperor believe in himself?

Du Zhong walked too quickly, and he didn't notice that behind him, someone put the long sword across Cheng Yuan's neck, and before Cheng Yuan's scream rushed out of his throat, a blood flower bloomed in his throat.

He struggled to make a few strange noises, and finally fell limply to the ground.

The man sneered: "Old thing, if it weren't for following Du Zhong, I wouldn't have found you." ”
