As soon as Li Yu walked into the lobby, he saw several servants working around one person.

"Your Highness."

"Father-in-law, what is this?"

"Alas, I originally wanted to interrogate him personally, but who knew that he was poisoned."

Zhao Kuangning frowned and said.

“……”

"When?"

"Just ......"

Li Yu looked around and did not speak.

"Is there anything on him?"

Zhao Kuangning shook his head slowly and did not speak.

"Father-in-law, take a step to speak."

Li Yu and Zhao Kuangning walked into the courtyard.

"Father-in-law, there's something strange here."

"yes, I'm finding it unusual, too."

"If he wants to seek death, he can solve it when the city wall is lost, why come to Jiedu Mansion and die again?"

"Uh......"

Zhao Kuangning's brows furrowed even tighter.

"There must have been someone from the Jiedu Mansion who contacted him just now."

"When he was brought in, it happened that Song Yuan, who was in the military of Cao Si, was discussing with me about increasing the number of households this year, and when he saw that someone had told him to capture the prisoner, he retired, and then the prisoner was suddenly poisoned and died."

Zhao Kuang chattered about the scene just now, and it was only a moment before and after.

"Did he come into contact with anyone?"

"He? It doesn't seem to be ...... either."

As soon as Zhao Kuangning said this, his face suddenly changed.

"He, he slapped someone...... Right! He also cursed. ”

"What?"

"Dog's day, send you back to the West."

“……”

Li Yu looked back at Zhao Kuangning and said, "Father-in-law, I'm afraid this Song Yuan has run away now." ”

"Wouldn't it? He is the old man of Jingxiang and the original servant of his father. How can it be? ”

"Let's go to his house and find someone."

Zhao Kuangning was half incredulous, turned around and arranged for the guards, and brought Song Yuan to Jiedu Mansion.

The two of them walked back to the lobby.

"Report to His Royal Highness the King of Chu, His Royal Highness the King of De, the person committed a crime and died of severe poisoning, and there were no other wounds."

Zhao Kuangning nodded silently, sat behind the handsome case, and waited for a response.

Li Yu also knew that he was in a hurry, so he waited.

"Shuai Baojie, Song joined the army and didn't go home."

Zhao Kuangning and Li Yu glanced at each other.

"The Song family was all imprisoned pending trial, searched and arrested throughout the city, and searched door to door."

"Yes."

The soldiers patrolled the streets of Xiangyang City, and there were brigades of soldiers and government servants who cooperated with each other to check the population from house to house and look for suspicious people.

"Looks like my Jiedu Mansion is a broken sieve!"

Zhao Kuangning was a little annoyed, he never thought that the old man who had followed their Zhao family for more than ten years turned out to be a spy, and it may be the spy of his most taboo camp, hehe, after so many years, I'm afraid that Lao Zhu even has mastered the color of his underwear.

Li Yu didn't want to sulk with his father-in-law, he went back to his room to rest, the more times like this, the more he had to calm down.

He knew that the thing must still be in the city, so it would be up to him to see if he could find that Song Yuan.

As soon as it was dawn, he was shaken awake again.

When he came to the front hall, Zhao Kuangning's face was pale, and the beard on his chin was trembling.

"What's wrong?"

"The Song family committed suicide in prison."

"Huh? All dead? ”

"All of them are dead, and none of the more than 30 people are alive."

"This is a mouthful!"

This Nima's is too blatant.

"Jailer......

"Three dead."

Zhao Kuangning said expressionlessly.

I'll go! How many spies have been planted in this Xiangyang City?

It looks like it's not safe anymore.

"Father-in-law, this Xiangyang ......"

"I know, I was careless."

"Come on, recruit Dengzhou Prison to come to Xiangyang quickly."

Li Yu knew that his father-in-law no longer trusted all the officials in Xiangyang now, and he could only handle cases in other places.

"Report, Jie Shuai. Song was found in the alley east of the city, and he ...... He ......"

"How?"

Zhao Kuangning stood up.

He ...... He's dead. ”

Zhao Kuangning sat down on the couch with a butt.

Li Yu knew that now all the clues were broken.

But he didn't come to check the spies, but to find things, otherwise he would leak secrets.

Zhao Kuangning sat in a daze for a while, then waved his hand below, and the guards and subordinates quietly retreated.

"This Xiangyang, I'm afraid it's Zhu Wen's sooner or later."

Zhao Kuang said quietly.

"Ahem."

Li Yu felt that his father-in-law's mood was too low.

"Father-in-law, no matter what, the things must still be in Xiangyang, this is certain, as long as the strict investigation can leave the things in Xiangyang, so that they have no way to send them out."

"As long as the things are still there, we have the secret weapon to fight with the Central Plains, and this is the only chance to turn over now."

"Alas...... I still know the trick in this. ”

Zhao Kuangning rubbed his cheeks, cheered up and said, "Don't worry, even if you turn Xiangyang upside down, you have to find out something." ”

For three days in a row, the gates of Xiangyang City were searched very strictly, and although the people did not dare to say anything, their resentment gradually rose.

……

"Although the thing is in my hand, it's useless if you can't send it away!"

In the secret room in the back hall of Yuexiang Restaurant, Lao Hu opened the package, and inside was a small box, locked by a copper lock, he touched the lock with his hand, and said to himself.

He said that he left this thing in Yuexianglou, and he was afraid that something would happen, and sure enough, he was arrested when he crossed the wall.

Fortunately, Lao Song found out in time and wiped out, but he also had to kill Lao Song, otherwise the entire Jingxiang intelligence network would be destroyed.

This operation is a matter that affects the whole body, and the Jingxiang intelligence network is working well, who knew that the C-shaped number would make such a big thing.

What a headache.

For several days, the streets were full of the government's eyeliner and officials, and their Yuexianglou was just a transit station, and they didn't dare to make a slight move.

Bear with me, I'll see how long you can check.

Ten days later, martial law in Xiangyang was lifted, and the search of the city gates was much looser.

Li Yu has always been unwilling.

He always felt that the spies in Xiangyang City were playing hide and seek with him, fighting wits and courage.

Feng Fuyu, the warden of Dengzhou, has been here for several days.

Today, he suddenly proposed to Zhao Kuangning that martial law be lifted and the four gates relax the investigation.

Since the prison said so, Zhao Kuangning agreed.

Li Yu came to the south gate in civilian clothes, he wanted to see if the spies could not leave the city.

There was a restaurant near the south gate, and Li Yu walked in with two guards dressed as subordinates.

"How many of you are there, officer?"

"I'll be alone, let's have a private room."

"Okay, there's a ...... upstairs in the private room."

Li Yu found a private room by the window, and two guards guarded the door.

"What do you want to eat?"

"What kind of special dish do you have here, just come up and get a pot of good wine."

"Okay, wait a minute."

Soon the table was full, hot and cold eight dishes, and a pot of soju was just the right amount of warmth.

Li Yu watched the flow of people entering and leaving the south gate while eating and drinking, and did not see any suspicious people entering and leaving.

When I was full of wine and food, I heard someone talking downstairs, and there was a quarrel while talking.

"What's going on? How do you do business? ”

"Yo, guest officer, calm your anger, you have something to say."

"Go, I'm not going to talk nonsense with you, I'll get your boss here."

"This ...... The boss isn't there. ”

"You lied, I saw him just now."

"I'm not lying, the boss isn't here."

The more noisy the downstairs became, the more fierce it became, and the young man couldn't hold it down.

Li Yu was attracted by the noise downstairs, came out of the private room, and looked downstairs.

In the lobby downstairs, several tables of guests were watching the excitement, and the young man was explaining to a middle-aged man.

"Isn't Lao Hu here? Lao Hu, you come out for me! I see you! ”

The middle-aged man's voice grew louder and louder.

The curtain of the back hall was lifted, and a middle-aged man walked out.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way, I said Lao Hu is here, isn't it!"

The middle-aged man pushed the young man away, came to Lao Hu, who had just come out, and asked angrily: "Let me ask you, do you still talk about credibility in business?" ”

"Oh, who did I say, it turned out to be Brother Wang, what is the matter slowly."

Lao Hu said with a smile on his face.

"Okay, let's set the old burn, why didn't you send it to me?! I gave it all the money! ”

"Uh...... Brother Wang, I can't complain about this, the government has been under martial law these days, and I can't get out of the city! ”

"Then you can get out of town now, right?"

"Now you can."

"Then let's go, my house is still waiting!"

"Okay, okay, okay. You dissipate your anger, let's go. ”

"Xiao Er, load the old burn into the car and send it to him."

The middle-aged man surnamed Wang reluctantly followed the young man to the backyard to work.

Lao Hu made compensation to the guests in the hall, and today the wine and food were discounted as compensation.

Li Yu looked at Lao Hu downstairs, frowned, and returned to the box.

In these days, winemaking is an extremely luxurious thing, only the wealthy can afford to brew, and the rich can afford to drink.

This middle-aged man surnamed Wang looks like an ordinary person when he looks at his clothes, why does his family want to buy wine? That's a lot of money.

Just pondering it, the side door of the restaurant opened, and an ox cart pulled several large jars out, each jar was pasted with red paper, and a large bucket of "wine" was written elegantly and chicly.

Well? This calligraphy is good! It's not like the words that an ordinary restaurant owner can write.

Looking at the wine jar on the ox cart, there are two layers stacked, with a total of five jars of wine.

Li Yu always felt that something was wrong, and he didn't figure it out for a while.

"Let's go, check out."

The guard outside the door went to settle the bill, and came back and said to Li Yu: "Son, this price is really not cheap, this table costs eighty yuan." ”

Li Yu suddenly had a flash of lightning in his mind, and he suddenly figured out what was wrong.

Money!

That's right, money!

You know, he has to drink a pot of wine for twenty yuan, and five jars of wine for at least five times, where does he get so much money for an ordinary person?

There must be a problem.
