Chapter 200: Food prices are rising, and the wind and rain are coming

"What task?" Qin Zulai asked.

Lu 13 said: "I heard that he went to the border, and I have to keep an eye on the envoys of other countries to envoy me to the Tang Dynasty, so as not to play any tricks in secret." ”

Suddenly, Qin Zulai's eyes opened suddenly.

He looked at Lu Shisan and said, "Tuyuhun envoy?"

Lu 13 was a little stunned: "My lord, you ...... How do you know?"

"Is it really a Tuyuhun envoy?"

Qin Zulai sighed, and then stood up from his chair.

He began to keep pacing on the ground, yes, when foreign envoys enter the territory of Datang, not only must there be soldiers on the surface to follow, but there must also be shadow guards in the dark, so as to ensure that nothing goes wrong.

He had thought before, the soldier was dead, what about the other people who were staring at it?

He said, "Thirteen, your brother, do you know when he died?"

"Less than three hours. Lu 13 said.

"After dark. ”

Qin Zulai's eyes became brighter and brighter.

It's different, and finally something different!

It has been more than three days since the Tang Dynasty children died.

But Zhang Eighteen had just died.

Why didn't Zhang 18 die at that time?

He didn't die, why didn't he report to Li Er or the important ministers of the Tang Dynasty that it was a fake thing?

Since he was secretly staring at the envoy team, it was impossible for him not to know this.

Moreover, if the minister has been disguising his identity for three days, where is Zhang Shibai in these three days?

Why not show up?

And why, will he be killed tonight?

What secrets are hidden in this?

New variables have emerged, but at the same time, more puzzling questions have emerged.

Qin Zulai only felt that his eyes were as if there was a whirlpool full of dark clouds, and the truth was unfathomable!

He didn't know what he was thinking, and suddenly said, "When Zhang Shibai died, was there anything abnormal, or was there something different at home or on his body?"

Lu Shisan thought for a moment, then stretched out his hand and said, "If you want to say something different, I don't know if this is or not." ”

"Rice?"

Qin Zu looked at the rice in Lu Shisan's hand and asked, "This is?"

Lu 13 said: "Zhang 18 held it in the palm of his hand when he died, I don't know if this thing is useful or not, but he has to protect it so tightly when he dies, I think maybe it is something important to him." ”

Qin Zulai took the handful of rice and fell into deep thought.

A handful of rice, what does this mean??

The things that Zhang 18 has to protect when he dies must definitely be very important to Zhang 18.

So, rice, what does it mean exactly?

Just as Qin Zulai was still thinking deeply, suddenly there was a knock on the door again.

Lu 13 held the handle of the knife, walked to the door, and asked, "Who?"

"Your Excellency, I am Jing Zhaoyin's servant, and there is a case, Lord Han, please come over to your Excellency. ”

"Another case?"

Qin Zulai's eyes flashed with a fine light.

He seemed to have thought of something, opened the door directly, and asked softly, "What case?"

The official said: "An inn has been slaughtered, and there is no one left. ”

"When?"

"Tonight. ”

Qin Zu came to be sure.

Two cases that happened tonight.

One is the shadow guard, and the other slaughters the entire inn.

That's no small thing.

As he said to Han Min before, something big must happen.

And the occurrence of these things only shows one thing, the third party, is in the game!

He thought for a while and asked the official to wait for him, then he looked at Lu Shisan and said, "Lu Shisan, you help me Qin someone to do something." ”

"Your Excellency, please command. ”

Qin Zulai whispered something in Lu Shisan's ear.

Lu Shisan immediately nodded directly and said, "Don't worry, my lord, I happened to be injured, and I can definitely fool everyone." ”

"Go ahead. ”

"Yes!"

Lu 13 left quickly.

Qin Zulai changed his clothes at this time, but he did not immediately follow Han Min's people to the place of the case.

With a "creak", he gently pushed the wooden door open.

Inside, to Qin Zulai's surprise, his daughter-in-law Changle was already half-lying up, and a pair of beautiful big eyes were looking at him playfully.

"Awake?"

Qin Zulai chuckled, came to the edge of the bed and sat down to fix the hair that fell off his daughter-in-law's shoulders.

When Changle sleeps, he often loses a touch of hair, which Qin Zulai has long memorized.

"Well, wake up, Zulai, what are you doing here!" Changle said with a wink.

"It's nothing, I originally wanted to cover you with a quilt and go out, anyway, there are Wang Yang and them nearby, and I am also assured of your safety. ”

"But since you're awake, then you can go with me, and I happen to give you a stupid girl to see what a smart person is. ”

Qin Zulai methodically took away his daughter-in-law's hair, sighed and said, "Their voices are still too loud, otherwise you can sleep peacefully." ”

"Zu Lai, it's nothing! go, go, go, wait for me to change my clothes. Changle smiled and shook his head.

Then, after Changle finished changing into decent clothes.

Qin Zulai and Changle, the two of them, began to walk with the officials to the inn where the crime occurred.

Walking on the road, there was suddenly an anxious sound of horses' hooves.

Then he saw hundreds of people in armor, and rode away directly.

Qin Zulai clenched his daughter-in-law Changle's little hand and wondered, "What happened?"

The official said: "It seems that the party's team transporting grain and salary has been secretly attacked, hundreds of thousands of stone grain and salary have been lost, and hundreds of people carrying grain have been killed and injured, Your Majesty is furious, and he must make the thief look good." ”

"Looted food?"

Suddenly, Qin Zulai seemed to have a lightning bolt falling in his mind.

He was moving forward, and suddenly there was a pause, which caused Changle behind him to be shocked.

Then, suddenly, he said, "I understand!"

"It turns out that this is what they really are for, so it is. ”

Got it?

Changle and the servants were blindsided, and when they saw that Qin Zu didn't say anything, they had to give up.

Changle is because he doesn't care about his husband and wife when he goes out, and the official is a matter of identity.

Neither of them asked, and Qin Zulai didn't plan to say it.

Soon, the group moved forward again.

When Qin Zulai and the others arrived at the inn, Han Min and the others were already here.

As soon as Han Min saw Qin Zu coming, he almost cried.

He looked at Qin Zulai pitifully and said, "Qin County Order, my God, the lower official...... Xia Guan really doesn't want to be this broken official. ”

"Tuyuhun envoy's case has not yet appeared, this time there is another twenty-five murders, Xiaguan just fell asleep, was dragged out, and if it goes on like this, Xiaguan feels that he will either survive to death, or be scared to death, and he will be bald at the worst. ”

"Damn, why didn't there be so many bad things before, but recently it's just amazing, one after another, it's really scary. ”

Looking at the sparse hair on Han Min's head, Qin Zulai couldn't help but mourn a few words of silence for Han Min in his heart.

In the eventful autumn of Datang, Han Min was really unlucky to be Jing Zhaoyin at this time.

He comforted: "Don't worry, with someone from me Qin here, you, the official, well, can't lose it for the time being." ”

"So, don't be afraid, just be mentally prepared to solve the case. ”

Han Min: "......"

Qin Zulai didn't care about the aggrieved Han Min anymore, and took his daughter-in-law Changle's little hand and walked directly into the inn.

As soon as you enter the inn, you will be greeted by blood.

He frowned slightly, and said, "Lord Han, tell me what the hell is going on." ”

Han Min said: "When the watchman passed by the door of the inn, he heard a scream coming from the inn, and at the same time found that there was a murderous shadow on the window. ”

Then the lower official brought people over, but found that the murderer had already run away, and in this inn, up and down, including the shopkeeper, the men, and the guests, a total of twenty-five people, none of them were spared, and they all died. ”

Qin Zulai asked, "Zuo, let me ask you, what kind of wound is it?"

He came over and said, "Lord Hui, there are knife wounds, there are sword wounds, it is more complicated, and ...... This knife wound is a little different from the standard knife I commonly use in Datang. ”

"You mean, it's not caused by weapons like horizontal knives that are common in my Tang Dynasty?" Qin Zulai asked again.

He nodded: "According to the depth and width of the wound, some of them look like weapons on the Tibetan side. ”

"Tibet?"

Han Min looked at Qin Zulai and said, "Qin County Order, I think......... Could this be the crime that the Tibetan Gou Lang will commit?"

Qin Zulai didn't answer, but turned to face Changle and said, "Girl, wait for me here." ”

The voice fell.

Changle nodded like a chicken pecking rice.

At this moment, looking at Qin Zulai's serious appearance, Changle admitted that she was stunned!

It's so handsome!

At the same time, Qin Zulai went upstairs directly and said, "Have you searched all the rooms? Are you sure that the murderers have escaped?"

"Searched. ”

"Not enough, check again. Qin Zu said.

"What?"

"I'll ask you to send someone to check again, maybe you have something missing, search the cabinet for everything, see if there is a cellar, check it again, be careful. ”

Han Min felt that Qin Zu's order was a little inexplicable.

But it's still obedient and obedient, and let people check it again.

The officials searched more closely.

Qin Zulai came to a corpse, observed the wound on the corpse, squinted his eyes, and knew it in his heart.

He walked through every room before returning to the first floor, then behind the counter, opening the shopkeeper's notebook and taking a closer look at the housing.

"My lord, there is a discovery!"

And at this moment, a cry suddenly sounded.

Han Min was stunned for a moment,, isn't it?

Could it be that I was really careless just now and missed something?

He and Qin Zulai hurriedly walked over, only to find that a person with injuries on his body had been dragged out of the rice jar.

The official said: "This man is hiding in the rice jar, we didn't pay attention to it just now, but he was also seriously injured, but fortunately he is not dead." ”

Han Min looked at Qin Zulai.

Qin Zulai glanced at it, and said angrily: "What are you still doing in a daze? Hurry up and send the gold-plated doctor there." ”

At the same time, he sent someone to protect him, and settled him in Jingzhao Yin Yamen, he is likely to be an eyewitness to this massacre, maybe he will be able to give us any clues after he wakes up. ”

Han Min hurriedly nodded: "That's right, hurry, don't be stunned, I'll really die in a while, do what Qin County's order says, I don't know who is the boss!"

Officials: "......"

They really want to remind Han Min that you are Jing Zhaoyin, and you are our boss.

But seeing that Han Min was used to being a little brother, they had nothing to say.

hurriedly left with this seriously injured and unconscious man.

At this time, it was almost dawn, and Qin Zulai casually kicked the record book on the counter into his arms and said, "Let's go." ”

"Where are you going?" Changle and Han Min asked together.

"Eat first, hungry. ”

"Huh?"

Changle really couldn't keep up with Qin Zulai's brain circuit, and asked with some expectation: "Zulai, have you found out the truth?"

"Girl, almost. As soon as that person wakes up, I believe the truth will be revealed. ”

Qin Zulai stroked his daughter-in-law's hair, hooked the corners of his mouth, looked at Han Min next to him, and said: "Lord Han, you must protect him, as long as he wakes up, the slaughter case here, the Tuyuhun envoy case, will be revealed." ”

Han Min was shocked: "Really?"

You're not lying to me, are you?

Is it so easy to solve the case?

I don't know anything.

Qin Zulai smiled faintly and said, "I, Qin someone, when did I lie to you, so I will hire a good doctor for him and pray that he will not burp, otherwise this case may be really unsolvable." ”

Han Min looked at Qin Zulai, and he always felt that Qin Zulai's smile was a little strange.

When people wake up, then the truth is revealed?

Funny!!

He always felt that Qin Zulai knew a lot of things, but Qin Zulai didn't tell him anything, which made him really itch.

Afterwards, the three of them casually ate something at a breakfast stall.

At the checkout, Qin Zulai said casually: "Shopkeeper, you are not affordable, this is just something more, and it costs ten cents." ”

The shopkeeper hurriedly said: "The guest officer doesn't know, it's not that the old man wants to be expensive, but the cost has increased, you don't know, just these days, the food is a lot more expensive, and I can't help it, old man!"

"Food is expensive??"

Qin Zulai was a little surprised: "How could food suddenly become expensive?"

Food, that's the most important thing.

In peacetime, food is the foundation.

War is a situation, and food represents victory!

The price of food has risen, and this time period is too sensitive.

"I don't know, it was about ten days ago, and the price was getting more and more expensive day by day. ”

When Qin Zulai heard the shopkeeper's words, his brows furrowed slightly.

Han Min said: "Qin County Order, why do you still care about whether food is expensive or not?"

Qin Zulai frowned and pondered, ignoring Han Min.

Suddenly, he didn't know what was going to happen, and his eyes suddenly opened.

"I want to understand one more thing!!"

"What?" Han Min had a question mark on his face.

Qin Zu said, "Lord Han, do you have anyone you know in the household department?"

Han Min was puzzled, but still said, "I have a friend who is a tobe squire. ”

"Then please ask Lord Han to help me go to the household department to ask about something......

As he spoke, he lowered his voice and whispered something in Han Min's ear.

After Han Min heard this, his eyes were even more full of puzzlement.

He looked at Qin Zulai in a daze and said, "Does this have anything to do with the case?"

"It's not just about the case, if nothing else, it's even about your life. ”
