Chapter 506: True and False Letters
"Oh, you and I have just arrived in Pingshou County, who will write to us?"
Zhu Gaojiao said casually, and then asked the shopkeeper to keep the letter.
"Then the villain will take his leave!"
When the little two retreated, looked around, and there was no one, he turned around and cowered to the back kitchen, and took out an identical letter from his bosom, and then put it in the stove.
Then, as if nothing had happened, a few plates of prepared dishes were served.
And Zhu Gao, who was in the guest room, glanced at Su Wu and said with a smile:
"Look, isn't this coming?"
"Haha, Your Majesty is really wise and powerful, the food on our table is not cold yet, and we can't wait to deliver it to the door!"
Su Wu also looked through the window, always paying attention to the situation below, in this inn, after the boss came in for a while, someone at the door sent a letter to the hands of the shopkeeper.
"Open the letter and take a look, if it is unexpected, it should be about the minting of fake money!"
Zhu Gaoyao took another sip of barley wine, Su Wu hurriedly opened the envelope, and after seeing the contents of the letter, a smile appeared on his lips.
"As Your Majesty expected, what was said in this letter is really related to the fake copper coin!"
The contents of this envelope are also straightforward.
"By the Sanhe Bridge, among the moonflowers, you can see three legs!"
"At night, near the flowers by the bridge of the three rivers, about money!"
Of course, if these words were not deliberately played with the aspect of minting counterfeit coins, it would not be possible to see what they were talking about.
"Your Majesty, do you want us to send a few people over to have a look?"
In the morning, the letters had been sent out expeditiously, and it was estimated that by noon, the letters would be delivered to the hussar generals, and in the afternoon they would be able to reach the hands of the Third Division of Sichuan.
"When the time comes, we will send someone to track down the person who came to the joint and find out the instructions behind him!"
But Zhu Gaoyao shook his head and said to Su Wu unhurriedly.
"Su Wu, you can't be anxious about this matter, as the saying goes, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry."
"They sent this letter in a hurry, and they could already see that the person behind the fake money had received the news and was anxiously waiting for our reply."
"That's where we get the lead! Grasp the initiative in this matter a little! ”
"What's more, we don't know who is delivering the letter, what if someone wants to kill us for money?"
After listening to this, Su Wu nodded slowly.
"Even if we respond, it will make us give up our scheming to the other party and be passive in this matter, after all, we don't know anything about each other!"
"Then now, let's pretend that we don't know anything, and when we can't get out on the other side, we can take the initiative to come to us!"
Su Wu asked tentatively, and Zhu Gaoyao nodded.
"Well, after all, we must pay attention to evidence in handling cases, and when the Sichuan Third Division receives my letter, they will definitely come in person!"
And this time should be tomorrow evening, and he will also hide his itinerary.
At this moment, the sergeant who had gone out to deliver the letter before suddenly knocked on Zhu Gao's door, bowed down, slowly walked in front of Su Wu, and whispered a few words in his ear.
Su Wu frowned at first, and then quickly stretched out, and his face also showed joy.
"Your Majesty, I have good news here!"
"What's the news? Tell me about it?"
"Moreover, there are several wealthy businessmen in the southwest region, one of them, the boss of Jia Xing and a boss surnamed Nie, are the two giants of businessmen in the southwest!"
"The two of them have now appeared in this Pingshou County at the same time, and I heard that they have been staying in this Pingshou County for many days!"
Two wealthy businessmen?
How could it be such a coincidence?
Could it be that they have noticed the counterfeit coins that appear here for a long time? Or are they involved in the counterfeit money?
These two people may have important clues.
"And according to reliable information, just now, these two people actually died in Wangchun Tower at the same time?"
He's dead?
Zhu Gaoyi, who was still suspicious of these two people, seemed to be in a mystery after hearing the news.
These two businessmen from the rich side died quietly in Pingshou County like this?
Wait a minute, this Wangchun Tower, have you heard others mention it before, yes, when the innkeeper came in just now, he said that he spent last night in Wangchun Tower.
But with such an obvious lie, how could Zhu Gaoyao not see it? That person left in a hurry yesterday, looking panicked, how could he lose a place like Wangchun Tower?
Even if it is not full of energy and spring, it should be in high spirits.
When the innkeeper left yesterday, he was obviously worried, worried about something bad.
Could it be that last night, this innkeeper, the city and those two people, met with those two people?
There is a problem with this innkeeper!
"How did they die?"
Zhu Gaoyao immediately asked,
"According to rumors, it seems that he was killed by several prostitutes."
"I heard from others that this geisha seems to be an Oiran from somewhere else, and she happened to be met by two wealthy merchants."
"As for the reason for the killing, this is not known for the time being, and the deaths of these two wealthy businessmen have also been concealed by the government!"
Speaking of this, Su Wu also remembered the blue boss of this inn, it seemed that he had just returned from Wangchun Tower, maybe he knew some information!
"Your Majesty, when the hussar general arrives at night, do you need to secretly protect Boss Lan first!"
"Hmm!"
Zhu Gaoyi nodded and agreed, and gave additional instructions:
"I wish the death of the two wealthy businessmen, it should not be an accident, but someone has planned it a long time ago!"
"Moreover, no matter what letter you receive in the future, don't make any response until the Sichuan Third Division brings someone here!"
"At the same time, send someone to secretly lurk around this inn, and keep an eye on the movements in the county government for me!"
Where did the innkeeper go last night? Is it Wangchun Tower?
Zhu Gaoyi thinks no, so where did he go?
If this wealthy merchant had something to do with the minting of counterfeit money, then why were they killed?
What was the reason for the innkeeper's panic yesterday?
"I always feel that behind this, the government should be in the way!"
"Your Majesty means that there is a problem with this Zhang Qixin?"
Zhu Gaoyao shook his head,
"It's not certain yet, even if he doesn't have a problem, then there must be a problem with the people around him!"
"Of course, this heart is just speculation, now you and I just need to relax, just travel here, and wait until the third division of Sichuan comes, they will be the ones who have a headache!"
"Haha, Your Majesty is very right!" (End of chapter)
