He Lingchuan asked her, "What kind of character is Fu Songhua?"

"I don't talk much, I don't like to socialize, and I don't like to laugh, but I'm shrewd and assertive."

"How did he get caught the other day?"

"It was a hot day, so he went home and took a nap after eating two bowls of sour plum soup, when someone suddenly rushed in from outside. Master Fu...... Fu Songhua jumped off the wall and fled, and I immediately heard the sound of fighting and shouting outside. Not long after, someone came in and said that Fu Songhua had been arrested, and we were all accomplices, and we all had to go to jail!"

"After you came in, did you still see Fu Songhua?"

Lee shook his head.

"Who else is in his family?

"I—I don't know, I haven't met his family, and I've never heard him talk about it." Li said, "He usually goes home after socializing outside, and he hasn't taken any more concubines in the past few years."

"You don't know anything about his parents, his brothers, his wife and his children?"

"I asked him before, and all he said was that his parents had passed away a long time ago, and he had no brothers and no wives. If you ask again, he will be impatient."

As a good place for recuperation, many powerful people will buy land and houses here, and put an extra concubine. This concubine had no contact with the family at all, and only served them in Baisha.

It would not be surprising if Fu Songhua did the same.

He Lingchuan leaned slightly, and said softly, "Fu Songhua has confessed, do you know what this means?"

Lee shook his head. From the time she entered the prison to the present, she was confused, and she only knew from the words of the fast catchers that Fu Songhua had committed a felony.

"Lingxu City has always been strict in punishing the enemy countries that cause chaos, and beheading the capital is the lightest. If you sit down, you won't survive."

As soon as these words came out, Li's face turned pale and he was speechless in shock.

"So think about it, does he have any relatives? Even the slightest clue will do."

At the moment of life and death, Li finally racked his brains.

After a while, she said, "Fu Songhua has not been in Baisha twice for the Chinese New Year, and I don't know where I went. I asked, and he said that he had gone to the merchants, but his stewards were still in the city."

The Chinese New Year is a time of reunion, and there must be a living person around you.

"Very well, what else?"

Li Shi thought for a while and said, "My maid Amei, I saw Fu Songhua shopping on the street twice, once to buy pine nut candy cakes that children like, and once to buy two toys, which are not cheap. I thought he was the child of a merchant to curry favor with him, but now that I think about it, maybe ......?"

Maybe Fu Songhua bought it for his own children.

Lee couldn't say more. She begged for her life before the jailers took her down.

He Lingchuan could only say that I tried my best.

Next, the stewards under Fu Songhua were interrogated.

Only after this question did I know that Fu Songhua's main business was aquatic production, that is, there were so many lakes, rivers, streams, and bays around Baisha, and the fishing goods were really rich. The supply and demand in Baisha and its surroundings are booming, so it is natural that middlemen need middlemen to deliver aquatic products from the fishermen's wharf to the tables of the people in the city, and the merchants in the city who do this kind of fresh goods business grab a handful.

In addition, Fu Songhua also engaged in several side hustles to serve as a hedge during the off-season of aquatic products. Among them were oil and herb businesses, but they were only in small quantities, at least as the steward said.

In the whole Baisha, there are not eight hundred and one thousand people who do these three kinds of business, but also three or five hundred.

The three merchants further confirmed the steward's confession.

He Lingchuan also asked the steward, "You often follow Fu Songhua on business trips?"

"Yes, I've been out with him a lot for the past seven years."

"Where does he frequent?" He Lingchuan raised his hand to stop the other party from speaking, "Which place has you been to the most often in recent years?"

The last three words, accents.

Without much thought, the steward said, "It should be the town of Sharong sixty miles away, and we will go there three or four times a year. Nowhere else has it been so often."

"What are you going to do there?"

"Stock. The town of Sharong produces white paint, which can be used to prevent corrosion."

He Lingchuan

After thinking about it, he asked, "You always live in the same inn in Sharong Town?"

"Yes, Jokhang Inn. The other inn is closer to the raw material production area, but Fu Songhua said that the Jokhang Inn is quieter. I thought he was trying to save money."

One last question: "Will he go it alone while staying at the Jokhang Inn?"

"Yes. When he socializes with merchants, he doesn't necessarily take me with him."

He Lingchuan asked.

After all of them were taken down, he stared at the opposite prison wall in a daze.

The county commander of Baisha County had touched a few nails in him, and he didn't dare to make a sound.

After a long while, He Lingchuan suddenly said, "After Zhongsun Mou came to Baisha, which local households did he have the closest contact with?"

The Baisha County Commander was taken aback, and immediately said, "How dare the lower officials keep an eye on Lord Zhongsun's whereabouts?"

"I think you dare." He Lingchuan stared at him and said, "If it weren't for the fact that the eyeliner was all over the city, and the patrol envoy had just arrived on your land, how would you have found out?"

Although Zhongsun Mou is arrogant, he has to do his errands, right? You can't show your identity in a hurry every place you go.

There are so many outsiders in Baisha, how can the county order recognize the Lingxuan envoy of Lingxu City?

The county commander hurriedly waved his hand: "Ah this, how can the lower officials have this ability?"

"You don't, so who does?" He Lingchuan looked at him and said seriously, "Hasn't the Tian County Order clearly distinguished the inside and the outside? The wrath of the Son of Heaven, whether it is Zhongsun Mou or these powerful people in the city, they can't cover you!"

The exhortation in the words was strong, and Baisha County was in a dilemma.

That's it, even if it is a knife to stretch and shrink the neck, then it will pass the current level first. He took a secret breath:

"It was the powerful people of Lingxu City who discovered the whereabouts of the patrol envoy first. The news spread all over Baisha in a few days, so Lord Zhongsun has been busy with official business and entertainment these days, and he has no skills."

He Lingchuan's eyes rolled: "I heard that the *** of Lingxu City also lives in Baisha?"

"Isn't it?" The officials in the city are all older than him, and it is not easy for him to do this county order.

"Do all these powerful people like to live in the northwest of the city?"

"Yes, the rich and powerful also like to live there, with beautiful scenery and fresh air." How do you say that, if you go out, you will be prosperous, and if you enter, you will be peaceful.

He Lingchuan thought thoughtfully: "What do these wealthy families usually do for a living?"

"But there are probably some people who make money in Chiyan, after all, they have money and connections." The county commander of Baisha County said with a bitter face, "Specifically, the lower officials dare not spy on it."

"I don't dare to spy, but I must have 'heard' it. Come on, come on, pen for you, you write." He Lingchuan pushed the white paper and pen and ink on the table in front of him, "Don't be afraid, there is no one else here, and I promise you that I will never spread it."

This pen and paper was originally intended for Li and other suspects, but I didn't expect that the county ordered me to use it in the end.

Baisha County ordered to grasp the pen like a soldering iron, knowing that he was incapable of resisting, so he had to carry the pen like flying.

He Lingchuan also urged him to say: "Write more thoroughly, the more thorough, the better."

It seems that Tian Xian ordered himself to write a confession.

In an instant, he was writing two large sheets of paper.

Tian Xian Ling put the pen aside, pushed the paper, and whispered: "My lord, please take a look."

He Lingchuan picked it up and looked at it carefully, and asked him, "Are you sure there is no omission?"

"This may not be considered in a hurry......

He thought that He Lingchuan would still blame, but the other party smiled: "It's okay, I have to be in a hurry, if you think about it, you can ask me to check and fill in the gaps at any time."

Tian Xian Ling was flattered: "Yes, yes."

"I asked you about it today, and I am not allowed to pass it on."

Tian Xian Ling immediately nodded: "Certainly, definitely!" He couldn't wait.

He Lingchuan smiled at the tiger lying on the ground again: "Lao Jiao, are you tired of running all the way?"

Jiao Yu was used to his style, and was indifferent: "If you want me to do anything, just say it."

"I'm going to ask you to make a hurry." He Lingchuan leaned close to its ear

Muttering.

The county order of Baisha did not dare to eavesdrop, but took two steps back to avoid suspicion.

I saw the tiger shaking his ears vigorously - He Lingchuan was too close.

Finally, when he finished speaking, it quickly nodded, "Okay, I'll go now." Stood up and arched his back and stretched, and walked out with tiger steps.

He Lingchuan looked at its back and admired: "The monsters are sincere, they will go if they agree, and they will not play those false things."

Baisha County Ling felt that he was being targeted, so he could only keep smiling faces.

He Lingchuan stood up and stretched:

"Okay, find me a place to live, I want a good view."

Tian County Commander breathed a long sigh of relief, and finally came to the link he was best at!

......

Early the next morning, He Lingchuan went out to play in the mountains and rivers.

He did not hide his whereabouts, and many nobles in the city heard that the prince's envoy was coming, so they sent him a post asking to see him.

He Lingchuan had no time to socialize, and was about to throw away all the prayer posts, when he accidentally saw the signature of one of them, so he took it into his arms and went out.

This was submitted by a Zhishi official of the Red Yan State.

The white sand is also unique in the world of green mountains and green waters, the sandbar as fine as snow, the Pinghu Lake where thousands of birds gather, and the ice spring that is still bubbling in the middle of summer, it is indeed a holy place for sojourn.

Today it is still accompanied by the order of Baisha County.

After soaking in the soup spring, He Lingchuan straightened up:

"Tian County Order, the scenery of Baisha is beautiful, and it really lives up to its name, but why is it being repaired everywhere? This clanging is no ordinary bump."

Along the way, he saw at least two attractions being renovated, a temple, and three private mansions with craftsmen in full swing.

Even the small building of Tangquan that they just came out of has a gatehouse being repaired, and the gate has just been painted, which smells.

"My lord, Baisha is known as the confluence of a hundred waters, there are thirty-seven large and small lakes alone, as well as rivers, streams, ponds, and rivers, and there is a lot of rain this spring and summer, and this water vapor erodes the wood so badly, can it be repaired often? Otherwise, it will fall down and hurt people, but it will be annoying."

There are too many local dignitaries, and a flower pot and wood chips are dropped upstairs, and the ones that are smashed are either rich or expensive.

He Lingchuan sighed: "I'm going to Chaohu Tower, how far is it?"

"It's close, a quarter of an hour's walk away." The county commander of Baisha County recommended, "It's very comfortable to eat tea and watch the scenery there."

"Okay, lead the way."
