Chapter 208: The Transshipment of Purple Lazuli

"Tell me more."

Huo Yijun actually just asked casually, after all, the purple lazuli had never entered her sight from the beginning, but she didn't expect to really ask her to ask something.

The shopkeeper said: "I have the impression that there are three batches of purple lazuli transported, the first two batches are official families, and the last batch is a team of people who have never seen before, I think there should be a local chamber of commerce, and I didn't care at the time, if it wasn't for the little boy to ask, I would have forgotten about it." ”

"When did you take the purple lazuli?" Huo Yijun was faintly uneasy in his heart.

The shopkeeper recalled: "It seems to be about twenty last month. ”

Hearing this, Huo Yijun suddenly felt that there seemed to be some coincidence in this matter, last month, the transfer envoy on the transfer official ship and the head of the household department stole from themselves, and the purple lazuli and the official silver were all recovered, and they would indeed be issued according to the process, but it happened that there was a corpse crushing case in Shanyin County at the time of this statement.

"Go down."

"Yes."

The shopkeeper closed the door, Huo Yijun looked at the snake soup on the table, and his stomach was sour, although it smelled good, but after all, he was not interested in solving the case of snakes now.

She got up and walked over to the desk in her room, picked up a pen and wrote down the four cases she knew of so far.

"The corpse of Shanyin County is broken, the giant python hurts people, the snake catcher is missing, and the purple stone is transferred."

As she finished writing, there was a knock at the door.

"Enterβ€”"

Jiang Xie came in with two strings of sugar gourds, and at a glance he saw Huo Yijun who was writing, and he was interested for a while.

"What is Sheng Lin writing about?"

Huo Yijun focused on the handwriting on the paper, saw Jiang Xie come over and put down the pen, and looked at him: "Why did you come back so soon." ”

Jiang Xie handed her the sugar gourd in his hand, turned around and dragged a chair to sit at the table.

He said: "There is a servant watching from the mortuary, but I can't help with sewing the corpse, so I just come back, and as soon as there is news, it will come immediately." ”

"I came back just in time, I also learned another thing from the restaurant shopkeeper, and I was about to tell you."

Jiang Xie turned to look at the words she wrote on the paper, and his expression became serious: "You mean the transfer of purple lazuli?" ”

"Yes, I inquired with the shopkeeper, and last month, the purple lazuli on the transfer officer's ship was transported to the lower reaches of the Jinghe River, and three groups of people transported it, which is very strange."

Jiang Xie's concentration improved: "Indeed, the transfer of purple lazuli is carried out by a special person from the household department, and it will not go through the hands of people and businessmen at all. ”

"Won't it go through the hands of people and businessmen?" Huo Yijun asked.

Jiang Xie said firmly: "Yes, it was indeed different before, you must know that purple lazuli is mainly used to smelt metal to make weapons, it is an important war resource, and there are strict regulations for weight and escort, and the imperial court is lenient, and several chambers of commerce in Yingdu have also divided purple lazuli." ”

"But as the war on the front line tightens, strategic materials like purple lazuli will be strictly controlled and will not be distributed to the Chamber of Commerce."

Huo Yijun suddenly realized that something was wrong-

"You wait."

She asked eagerly: "Then what you mean is that the purple lazuli should be escorted by the household transfer envoy, and there will be no batch of escorts at all, so it means that this batch of purple lazuli ......."

Jiang Xie got up abruptly and blurted out what Huo Yijun was thinking: "The purple gold stone has been smuggled!" ”

"Now we haven't confirmed the real news, if it's really as we imagined, then the murderer's goal was never to kill people, but to purple lazuli."

Huo Yijun said: "You're right, the matter of transferring the official ship is really not over yet......
