Chapter 687: Water Merchant
Is it the former county warden that Wei Chi killed late? This became a question in He Chenxue's heart, and at the same time, she also pondered, did other people have anything to do with this matter? After she left the Prison Temple, she returned to the subordinate room of the county secretary's mansion, and when she pushed the door open, Wei Chiran sat on the edge of the bed with a blank face.
When Wei Chiran woke up in the morning, he found that he couldn't get out, and there were soldiers outside the door, but the environment had changed, and he didn't know what was going on.
"Tell me what you experienced yesterday from beginning to end," He Chenxue sat on the chair next to her, "Would you like to make a pot of tea for you?" ”
Wei Chi shook his head and told him what happened yesterday, and after listening to it, He Chenxue noticed a person, a person she ignored, this person was the boss of the Torture Technique, the Strange Goods House. And this person actually wanted to keep the evidence for himself, so He Chenxue turned around and left, and sent someone to find a torture technique.
When he came to the hall of the county office, he looked a little scared, because there were soldiers with knives and guns standing on the left and right in the hall, and everyone was looking at him with fierce eyes, as if they were going to tear him apart and swallow him in the next second.
"Do you recognize this sword?" He Chenxue suddenly appeared, still holding a fishbone sword in his hand.
The torture technique was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I recognize, of course I recognize, this is the sword that the unknown person came to me yesterday to pawn, this is called the fishbone sword, it is an alien antiquity, and it can be regarded as an artifact." ”
He Chenxue said again: "Then you know that this sword is also the sword of the former county guard, that is, my father's sword, right?" ”
"Of course I know, because I gave this sword to Lord Gunden." ”
"What?" He Chenxue was puzzled, "This sword you gave my father?" Why have I never heard him mention it? ”
Torture said: "Because, because of ......"
The torture technique stopped talking, and He Chenxue scolded sharply: "Say! ”
The torture technique had no choice but to say: "Because this sword was picked up from a sand demon five years ago during the sand demon extermination war." ”
"Nonsense!" He Chenxue shouted, "The fishbone sword was originally my family's ancestral sword, and it has always been worn on my father's body, how could it be that you picked it up on the battlefield?" ”
Xingshu immediately knelt down: "My lord, what I said is true, there is absolutely no concealment, it is really so." ”
He Chenxue asked, "Why did you go to the battlefield at that time?" ”
The torture didn't dare to raise his head: "The small one is a cargo chaser, and the strange goods are naturally strange goods, and the strange goods are naturally in the strange place, the small one heard in the early years that the sand demon gathered in the place, there are many treasures, so, when the county secretary sent troops to fight against the sand demon, the small one also quietly followed, wanting to pick up waste on the battlefield to find some treasures, but I didn't expect that the small one actually found an artifact, and the small one was naturally happy, but he didn't dare to take it for himself, so he dedicated it to the former county guard." ”
He Chenxue asked, "Are there any witnesses to this matter?" ”
Torture pondered for a moment and said, "Yes." ”
He Chenxue asked, "Who?" ”
The torture said: "The county secretary is in charge of the lord Tang Anshu and the small introducer An Ye. ”
Tang Anshu again? And is this An Ye the head of the Iron Prison County Underworld and the biggest trader An Wanghai?
He Chenxue asked, "Who is An Ye?" ”
Torture said: "An Wanghai." ”
He Chenxue asked again: "Why did you ask An Ye to introduce you to you?" ”
Xingshu said: "Xiao's identity is low, and he happens to know An Ye, so naturally he asked An Ye to introduce him, but he didn't hide it, Xiao didn't have any identity in Iron Prison County at that time, and his name was also in the secret gate, if he wanted to gain a foothold in this place, he had to get the name of Iron Prison County, so he could only think of this way." ”
He Chenxue frowned: "You mean, offering treasure to my father is to be able to gain a foothold in Iron Prison County to do business?" ”
Torture nodded, "That's right, that's right. ”
He Chenxue immediately asked the soldiers to find Tang Anshu, the lord in charge, and confronted the matter face to face.
Tang Anshu happily confirmed the matter: "On that day, An Ye invited the adults to go to the banquet, the location was in Wanghai Tower, I accompanied the adults to go, and after arriving, I found that not only An Ye was there, but also An Ye also brought a friend, on this chaser torture, in the banquet, the torture presented the fishbone sword. ”
When He Chenxue heard this, she found that Tang Anshu didn't say any more, she understood that there should be something that could not be said in front of Xingshu, so she asked Xingshu to go back first and wait for the summons, and at the same time, she ordered the soldiers to closely monitor Qishuju, and detain them as soon as they found out that Xingshu was trying to leave.
After the torture technique was gone, He Chenxue said: "Now you can talk about it, tell me the details of the time." ”
Tang Anshu said: "When I went to the banquet with the adults that day, An Ye didn't mention that there were still friends, so when we arrived, we saw that there were still torture techniques, and the adults seemed a little unhappy, but soon this unhappiness turned into surprise. ”
He Chenxue asked, "Is it because of the fishbone sword?" ”
Tang Anshu said: "That's right, it is precisely because of the fishbone sword that when the adult got the fishbone sword, he once said a sentence, and this sentence also made his subordinates feel very confused." ”
He Chenxue said: "What did he say at the time?" ”
On that day, at the moment when the torture technique presented the fishbone sword, Lord He's face changed suddenly, and the hand holding the wine trembled slightly, but the torture technique didn't say anything, just lowered his head and presented the sword.
Lord He put down the wine glass, slowly took the sword, glanced at Tang Anshu and said, "I didn't expect that the fishbone swords turned out to be a pair?" ”
"Yes," Torture also looked up and smiled, "The fishbone sword was originally a male and female pair, and I found another one for the adults, and the male and female swords are finally combined." ”
When He Chenxue heard this, she got up and said, "Is the fishbone sword a pair?" ”
Tang Anshu shook his head and said: "This subordinate doesn't know, but the subordinate knows that the fishbone sword was originally the family heirloom sword of the He family, which was handed down from the ancestors and passed down for hundreds of years, and I have never heard that this sword is a pair. ”
He Chenxue nodded and said: "Yes, I have never heard my father tell me about this, the key is that my father did not tell me about such a big thing later, which is strange." ”
After Lord He accepted the fishbone sword, he just asked lightly: "Torture, what do you want?" ”
The torture technique immediately expressed his wish, and Lord He immediately asked Tang Anshu to handle the name of the Iron Prison County for him, and designated a place to build a pawnshop for him, so that he could do business here.
But is that weird? Xingshu obviously knew that he had sent a fishbone sword to Lord He, so the two swords belonged to Lord He, so when he saw Yu Chiran coming to pawn the fishbone sword, it was natural for him to report to the official, but how dare he want to swallow this hot potato? It's not logical, he's so smart that he wouldn't make such a mistake, right?
Tang Anshu proposed at this time: "My lord, why don't we ask An Wanghai to ask?" ”
He Chenxue nodded and said, "Okay, go and pass An Wanghai." ”
Tang Anshu said, "Why don't we come and visit?" ”
When He Chenxue heard this, he asked, "Why?" ”
Tang Anshu said: "An Wanghai controls all the transactions in the Iron Prison County, and the biggest tax collector is also this person, and the adults have to sell this person a little bit of face before they are alive, and now the eldest lady has just taken over the position of the county guard, and she is also an agent, I think that you should visit the door, so as not to leave any trouble for the future." ”
He Chenxue understood what Tang Anshu meant, although she also felt unhappy in her heart, after all, she was an official, and An Wanghai was just a businessman, and she wanted the official to visit a businessman in person.
However, this kind of person can not afford to offend, at least when his foundation is unstable, he still needs his support.
So, He Chenxue accepted Tang Anshu's suggestion, but also put on a scene, and took the officers and soldiers to An Wanghai's mansion. Anjia's mansion is the most luxurious in Tiejiao County, although it occupies an area that is not as large as the county secretary's mansion, and its appearance is average, but the luxury of it is far beyond the county mansion, not to mention, it is second to none in the secret gate, and it is not too much to say that it is a paradise on earth. The most important thing is that the only clear spring in Iron Prison County is in Anfu, which means that An Wanghai also controls the most important water source in Iron Prison County.
He Chenxue and Tang Anshu did not bring the armor in, but left it outside, and An Wanghai did not come out to greet them, but asked the housekeeper to lead the two directly to the backyard, which is where the clear spring is located.
Ponds have been cast around the springs, ditches have been dug around the ponds, and all the water circulates in Anfu, and at the gate of Anfu, there is a waterway, and there is a sluice gate in the waterway. Every day there will be a regular release of water, anyone can come to pick it up, but the time to release water is only two hours, and it is outdated, so every day when the time comes, the people of Tiejiao County will bring their own utensils to receive water here, of course, there are not many to receive it, so everyone has privately set a rule, and the four cities in the southeast, south, northwest and northwest of the city are divided into 16 teams, and they go to two teams every day, and never repeat, so as not to cause chaos.
Today's day of water release has just passed, so there is no one in front of Anfu.
An Wanghai stood in front of the clear spring at this time, his brows tightened, and after He Chenxue and Tang Anshu approached, he didn't salute, but looked at He Chenxue and said, "My lord, I'm worried that this clear spring will dry up sooner or later." ”
He Chenxue sneered: "An Ye is worried about his own business, right?" ”
There are words in the words, and there are thorns in the words, how can An Wanghai not hear it? He stepped forward directly and said, "What do you mean, my lord?" Please make this clear. ”
An Wanghai suddenly stepped forward and confronted him, this was something He Chenxue didn't expect, and he understood what Tang Anshu meant, this surnamed An was extremely arrogant. And I really don't know much about Iron Prison County, she used to be just a little princess of Anfen, and everyone who saw her was smiling, but now she has become the acting county guard to understand that there are knives hidden in those smiles.
Tang Anshu hurriedly stepped forward and said: "My lord is worried that after Lord He died, someone took the opportunity to disrupt order in Iron Prison County and hurt An Ye and other merchants, so he came to visit. ”
An Wanghai did not relent: "Tang Anshu, don't forget, we used to be brothers, and it was I who introduced you to Lord He, and you became the leader." ”
An Wanghai's arrogance made He Chenxue angry, but she couldn't attack immediately, she didn't know how to avoid the topic, so she had to directly ask about the presentation of the fishbone sword by the torture technique five years ago.
