Chapter 653, Exclamation at the Banquet
Zhiyi heard that it was a silver whistle, turned his head and said happily: "Why are you here?"
"I was nearby, and I heard that the Flame King and you were in Yongsui City, so I came to meet you. "Silver Whistle and Zhiyi have been separated for many days, and they are worried about her, so they will come when they have the opportunity.
Zhiyi was in a hurry, and said with a straight face, "You know how Fang Qing threatened the Wang family and the Mo family, why don't you give it early?"
Silver Whistle replied, "As soon as I heard about it, I immediately came to report it." ”
Zhiyi patted the seat next to him, and Silver Whistle sat down with a grin.
"Although the small salt farms do not belong to the official family, the young owners have an agreement with these owners that the five-year period is a period, and the contract needs to be renewed before they can continue to operate. When the deadline of the Wang family is up, if you don't contribute sand and gravel, when the contract is renewed, Fang Qing will definitely have to delay it for a while, and the salt farm will not be able to operate normally during this period, which will be a loss, and the Wang family will have to donate sand and gravel under the trade-off. As for the Mo family, when he saw that the Gu family and the Wang family were donating, he was afraid that Fang Qing would trouble him, so he took the initiative to send manpower. ”
"Why do you think Fang Qing is coercing them?"
Normal city lords ask for money directly, and building roads is a necessary move, and the Flame King will not disagree, and he can't coerce the rich to give money under the reputation of being scolded.
"I pondered that Fang Qing wanted to raise it, and the increase had merit, so I made it like this. ”
Zhiyi smiled, "Now that Lie knows, he steals chickens and rice." ”
Silver Whistle nodded, "He, I really don't know the young master, who has the ability and who doesn't, the young master's heart is like a mirror, clear, there is no need to show it specially, he is too eager for quick success." ”
If Fang Qing was only greedy for merit, then it would be good to say that Zhiyi was worried that he was related to the dead East China Sea Night Patrol.
Zhiyi asked again, "What did you find about the Night Watchman?"
"These night watchmen were all recruited by Fang Qing. ”
As the lord of a city, it was strange that he actually recruited the night patrol in person, and what was even more strange was that when Red Flame asked him if the night watchman was a local, he couldn't answer clearly.
He should have an impression of the people he recruited, so why did he answer vaguely?
From this point of view, Fang Qing's suspicion is one more point.
But it is only suspicious, so far, he has no direct contact with the night watchman, Zhiyi thought about finding clues from Fang Qing's person, "What is Fang Qing's background?"
"He was originally from the water team, and was later promoted by Captain Gu. It's okay, it's not good, but it's not a big evil, life is not luxurious or simple, and I just want to be promoted. ”
"Who do you associate with on weekdays?"
"He doesn't have a heart to heart with anyone, only talks about interests, if he is particularly close, then he has to count the captain of the aunt, he sends people to give gifts during the New Year's holidays, and the captain is closer than his mother. ”
Gu Nian has the grace of promoting him, and Fang Qing's filial piety is also reasonable.
The information provided by Silver Whistle did not help the case at all, but deduced that he had entered a poor alley.
Zhiyi sighed with a deep chin, and the silver whistle said, "Master, this time we can be regarded as having a problem, the death of the night watchman is completely clueless, this Fang Qing seems suspicious, but it is nothing to investigate carefully." ”
Silver Whistle said that Zhiyi was at a loss, making Zhiyi's mind even more messy, and she didn't have a good breath, "My intuition tells me that you must still have something to dig up, don't be idle, hurry up and investigate." ”
Zhiyi sent off the silver whistle, and wanted to be quiet and take care of his thoughts.
Suddenly, an exclamation sounded in his ears, and when he raised his eyes, he saw the red flame covering his heart and falling.
Everyone panicked, and their faces turned white, and they stood up and rushed to Red Flame's side.
