Chapter 470: Wan Song and Prunella Grass
Jiao Yu's tail flicked: "The patrol envoy has long been a false title."
General Ling was stunned: "He represents Lingxu City, that is to say, Lingxu City knows that these murderers killed my people to get pearls?"
Running all the way did not hinder the dialogue of these monsters, Jiao Yu shook his head: "The forces of Lingxu City are intertwined, and they can't be simply said."
He Lingchuan continued, "There is a paradox here. Zhongsun Mou said, the Demon Emperor ...... Well, the emperor thought that the killing of the white-shouldered eagle messenger was the work of the female cadre, so he sent him down to investigate, but Zhongsun Mou knew that he had killed the demon and took the pearl."
He Lingchuan sighed: "The water is very deep, I'm afraid this matter is not simple."
He smelled the smell of conspiracy.
Jiao Yu couldn't help but say, "If Zhongsun Mou knew that he missed a sentence, he would be analyzed by you to find out so many things, he would definitely regret it until his intestines were blue."
He Lingchuan smiled; "I don't think he's necessarily a person who knows how to regret."
"The most annoying thing is that these things have something to do with Lingxu City." Jiao Yu looked a little irritable, "There is never a good result."
......
The news that the envoy of the prince of Chiyan Kingdom had left Shuanglu Town overnight was quickly presented to Zhongsun Mou.
Zhongsun Mou was stunned: "What, where do you say they are going?"
"To the east."
What's in the east? They came from the east, and now they are going to go back to the old ways?
And it was overnight.
What important clues can the surname He receive?
But the clues in Zhongsun Mou's hands all point to the north.
He thought for a moment and said, "Send someone to take a look."
As for himself, he stood still and prepared to leave for Qizhou the next morning.
......
The return journey was not as urgent as it had been, and the night walk had to be slowed down, so He Lingchuan took an extra hour to arrive at Youtian Town.
It was the middle of the night, and there was no one in the town, not even a dog.
There were so many messy things happening in the town, and the Baishi County Commander spent a lot of effort to deal with it during the day, only to feel that the blood groove was emptied, and he fell asleep at night as soon as he touched the pillow, and his snoring was like thunder.
Fortunately, he continued to dream last night, and after the roasted tail banquet, he embarked on the standard process, getting promoted, getting rich, and dying his wife.
After the yellow-faced woman died of illness quickly, she continued to be as delicate as a flower, soft as a boneless, and sang with him night and night, night and night, night and night......
He was smug here, and suddenly his shoulder was shaken vigorously: "Wake up, wake up!"
As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw the horizontal eyebrows of his yellow-faced woman and said coldly: "What kind of dream are you smiling like this?"
"Nothing...... "No, he was woken up! The county commander was bold, "What are you arguing about in the middle of the night!"
"Your county magistrate came to say that the prince's envoy is here again, and now the prisoner is being tried in the prison."
"Huh?"
At this time, He Lingchuan relied on his identity as a special envoy to retry Wan Dahu in prison.
At this time, the thousands of households are gray and tired, how can they have the strength of the morning? He Lingchuan saw that the fingers on his hands were bruised and swollen, and he was obviously tortured and suffered. This person is also pampered and accustomed to being pampered, and after suffering on this day, the person becomes well-behaved, and basically answers all questions.
He Lingchuan asked for a book to read.
Although he and Jiao Yu and others left the town in a hurry, the county government still had their own set of procedures to go, so they then arrested Wan Dahu for trial.
A new message has been added to the offering:
The address of Wan Dahu's nephew, Wan Song.
This guy didn't mix well in the early years, although Wan Dahu found something for him to do, but he was just looking for food and clothing. However, the year before last, he bought a house in the town, although it is not a mansion, at least it is comfortable to live in.
In addition, Wan Song also purchased a few acres of paddy fields, really became a landlord, and realized the class migration.
"Sure enough, the crooked road is quick to get money." He Lingchuan said as he looked at it, "How much money has he made in the past few years by hunting demons and taking pearls?"
"I, I don't know." Wan Dahu whispered, "He came from
You won't tell me when you come."
At this time, the Baishi County Commander also rushed over and said to He Lingchuan, "Your Excellency, we have sent someone to Wan Song's house to keep an eye on him; In addition, the county has a unified voice to the outside world, and only said that Wan Xianneng has seriously evaded taxes, so we will come to investigate it, so as not to leak the news."
"Well, that's good." He Lingchuan asked Wan Dahu again, "He didn't marry a wife and have children?"
"Uh, no."
"Is that a good match?" When a man has money, how many things can he worry about?
"Yes, yes, I know that he often goes to Lancuifang, and the acquaintance is called Qinggu."
He Lingchuan looked at the confession, and there was no record on it.
"When does Wan Song usually come home?"
"He comes back whenever he wants, with no regularity, sometimes disappearing for months and then appearing out of nowhere." Wan Dahu said weakly, "My lord, I know so much."
"Since Wan Song usually wanders outside, these industries are not easy to take care of." He Lingchuan looked at him and said, "Is it all entrusted to you?"
「..... Yes."
"Then why didn't I see the list?"
Wan Dahu said that I would write it.
But his hands were swollen like turnips, and he couldn't hold the pen steadily. The Baishi prefectural commander immediately took the pen and paper and dipped it in ink with his own hands: "I'll come!"
Next, Wan Dahu said, Baishi County ordered handwriting.
Wan Song's industry is not much, one house, seven acres of paddy fields, five acres of medicine fields, two shops, and a warehouse close to the medicine field, so the price is very cheap.
"Warehouse?" He Lingchuan pointed to this and asked, "He's not a trader, what can he hold in a warehouse?"
"Herbs from the fields." Wan Dahu swallowed, "He also asked me to help buy herbs on a regular basis, and they were all stocked up in the warehouse. Every once in a while, he would come back and resell the herbs and empty the warehouse."
Baishi County Ling was annoyed: "You didn't talk about such an important matter before?" When he tried the case, why didn't this surnamed Wan say this?
"This, it's all trifle." Wan Dahu muttered, "I didn't think it was worth mentioning."
He Lingchuan stared at him and said, "This nephew of yours only has the ability to kill people, but he doesn't know anything about business. Don't you wonder that he sells herbs himself?"
After meeting Hong Chengluo, he knew that there were really people in the world who couldn't do business, and they would lose nine out of ten, and they would even have to lose their underwear for the last time.
"I, I'm ....." Of course, the big family knew that his nephew was making excuses at will, but he just didn't care.
"Remember our agreement?" He Lingchuan yawned, and after running around for more than ten hours, he was still a little sleepy, "If you are not honest, the agreement will be invalidated!"
"I don't know where he sold his herbs, and I haven't seen the seller!" Wan Dahu hurriedly said, "But every time the warehouse is empty, it's true!"
"What herbs did he take?"
Wan Dahu recited a string of drug names and came out.
They are all common medicinal herbs, and it couldn't be easier to collect them in Shibata Township.
Seeing that the ten thousand households had been almost squeezed, and there was nothing dry left, He Lingchuan stood up and said with satisfaction: "Yes, it is very rewarding."
Then he explained a few words to the Baishi County Order, and then took the monster who was listening to the whole process to stay at the inn.
I still have to sleep, and it takes a lot of energy to investigate cases.
.....
An hour and a half later, that is, when the sky was bright, He Lingchuan woke up.
He woke up the sleeping sheep downstairs, and everyone went to unlock the new location:
Wan Song's house.
The vision of this place is not bad, and I chose a lake and pond in the west of the town, and it was quiet in the middle of the noise. The area of the house is actually larger than Mr. Mai's, at least seven or eight hundred square meters. Almost every house has access to sunlight and a few clean windows.
Before entering the door, He Lingchuan saw a white-faced owl on the big tree next to the house, this guy was standing on one leg and was still stable, looking at them expressionlessly.
The Baishi County Decree said that there are special people who are watching the ten thousand houses, and they are not afraid of being discovered.
Actually, it's not a human, it's this owl demon.
But apparently Wan Song never went home, at least the owl didn't see it, otherwise it would have flown to the county to call the police.
He Lingchuan and Jiao Yu walked back and forth in the house a few times, but did not find any useful clues.
They could see that Wan Song didn't live here often, because there were only a few sets of clothes in the cupboard, and there were only two or three dirty dishes left in the kitchen that had not been washed.
He Lingchuan suddenly said, "This guy is far less meticulous than Mr. Mai."
Mr. Mak's home, everything is in the right place, meticulous; But at Wan Song's house, the placement of objects is much more casual, there is a notebook thrown in the kitchen, and a few dried grapefruit peels fall in the yard.
Jiao Yu turned to the backyard, and the tiger's nose was on the ground, sniffing around, sneezing from time to time.
"Smelly?"
"Hmm." Jiao Yu was still spinning in circles, "There's the smell of that monster everywhere! It's been here long enough."
Wan Song's backyard is also a muddy field, but it is not planted with plants like Mr. Mai, but it is directly abandoned, and there are debris everywhere.
He Lingchuan picked a little dirt and rubbed it on his hands: "It's very damp, and you can almost pinch out the water. Looks like we've found its nest."
The dampness was so heavy that he could smell it.
"There's a lake out there." General Antelope stretched out his hooves and dug through the dirt a few times, "What should we find?"
He Lingchuan's eyes wandered in the mud, and when he saw something that General Ling had dug out of the mud, he suddenly walked over and picked it up, and spread it in the palm of his hand to look at it carefully.
It is a small spike of flowers with a few small purple flowers growing on it.
He asked General Ling, "Do you know what this is?"
General Antelope leaned over and sniffed, his mouth moving a few times, "Oh, this is Prunella. I've eaten it."
He's a sheep.
He Lingchuan Road; "Mr. Mak has prunella grass in his backyard."
"This kind of grass is so common in Shibata Township, it is available in the fields, and I have seen farmers cut it to feed pigs and rabbits, and they don't even need to be specially planted." General Ling said, "Maybe Mr. Mai didn't plant it, but it grew on its own."
"Have you ever seen your own prunella grow in this muddy field?"
The weeds in the field fell as if they had been weighed down by a heavy object. But when General Ling looked at it, the prunella grass was exposed at the roots, and it had not fallen into the ground.
It's like someone put it on the ground.
General Antelope didn't understand, "What's the importance of this prunella?"
Isn't it just herbs that can be found everywhere?
"Prunella grass, prunella ......" He Lingchuan remembered in a trance, he seemed to have heard of this herb from someone.
