The weather is gradually warming, and there is still wind, but there is less harshness in winter, with a touch of warmth.

It's coming up soon, the second big festival of the new year, the whole country celebrates as much as the New Year, and the imperial court has a license to lift the curfew and allow the people to revel all night.

The flow of people in Yuhang is huge, and they have started to prepare early.

"The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is the day of the blessing of the heavenly officials of the Shangyuan Dynasty," Zhao Chuyun stood in the attic of Jubaozhai with his hands in his hands, his slender fingers gently rubbing the corners of his clothes, he looked at the lights of thousands of homes, people coming and going, but his heart was full of worry, "The blessing of the heavenly officials, so, you will be fine, right?" ”

"Lord Wang."

Two black shadows fell silently into the attic.

Zhao Chuyun didn't look back, and asked in a deep voice, "How is it?" ”

His voice was not as relaxed and casual as before, his tone was slightly cold, Gu Nan's original idea of complaining and ridiculing a few words instantly dissipated in the wind, and he said solemnly: "Lord Wang, we have turned over the area of Yuanfu Lane, incense burners, medicinal herbs, and cooking smoke, and we have not found the slightest clue." ”

"What? No clues? Zhao Chuyun's eyes deepened, according to the mental trajectory of the murderer's activities, could it be wrong? "What about the monk?" he asked. ”

Fan Wu said: "There are two families in Yuanfu Lane who have joined the monks, and one is far away in the Qin Tianjian in the capital and has never returned; One person entered Zhushan in Taozhou, and he came back for the New Year's holiday, and he was not in Yuhang on weekdays. ”

"In addition to the two of them, we checked the household brochures of Yuanfu Lane over the years, six years ago, there was a casual cultivator who made a home here, but this person is nearly sixty years old, and his beard is white, which does not fit the portrait of the murderer depicted by the prince."

Hearing this, Zhao Chuyun's face turned slightly pale, and he walked to the table and sat down without saying a word.

Wrong? Is it all wrong?

Yan Qing's disappearance, the blackfriar's arrest of a child man, the ogre case, and the dumping of corpses in the downtown area...... What had happened in the past few days was flying through his mind, what was wrong?

Gu Nan saw that his face was very ugly, walked over and poured him a cup of tea, and said, "Lord Wang, are you okay?" ”

Zhao Chuyun took the tea and held it in his hand stunned, he felt that the thoughts in his head were a mess, some of them were unclear, and they were messy.

Gu Nan hesitated for a moment and said, "Lord Wang, there is one thing, I don't know if it counts as a clue." ”

Zhao Chuyun put down the teacup in his hand and said, "You say." ”

Gu Nandao: "When I checked the household brochure today, I found that Song Qihua had a house in Yuanfu Lane. ”

"Song Qihua?" Zhao Chuyun frowned.

"Yes," Gu Nan nodded, "there is a person living in that house all year round, and the neighbors have only seen him occasionally. ”

"I went to check, that person's name is Song Yi, the son of Song Qihua's third uncle, who used to be a thug, and later went to prison for killing someone, and was released on bail by Song Qihua."

"It's just that Song Yi hasn't been looking for a job to do since he came out, but he has gone out early and returned late without seeing anyone."

After listening to this, Zhao Chuyun raised his chin and thought: "With Song Qihua's virtue of putting interests first, it is impossible to raise people for nothing, and put him in a side house......

"Is the prince saying that Song Qihua has a problem?" Fan Wusu said suspiciously, "But that's his cousin, shouldn't he take care of it more?" ”

Zhao Chuyun's face sank and said, "I'm not sure, it's just that these two things involve Song Qihua, and I have to make people suspicious." ”

"I see!" Gu Nan's eyes suddenly widened, and his palms slapped.

The two were startled by him, Zhao Chuyun looked at him unhappily and said, "What do you know again?" ”

Gu Nan suddenly showed a look of disgust, and said: "This Song Qihua is too old and ashamed, Jinwu Zangjiao actually hides a man!" ”

......

Zhao Chuyun was speechless and said, "Gu Nan, use your brain!" ”

Gu Nan scratched his head, why was he scolded again?

Zhao Chuyun didn't bother to pay attention to him, and instructed Fan Wushu: "Old Fan, lead the way and go to find Song Yi." ”

In the night sky of Yuhang City, the moon shadow was cool, and three black shadows flew by quickly and fell into a mansion.

Song Yi was put on the neck in his sleep and escorted to the front hall, he looked at the handsome and handsome man sitting on the Taishi chair, he was beating the drum in his heart, but his face pretended to be indifferent, and asked, "Who are you?" What is the intention of trespassing into my house? ”

Zhao Chuyun frowned slightly, and scolded the two people holding him: "What's the matter with you? Treat Master Song so rudely, don't let people go quickly! ”

Gu Nan retracted his hand, stepped aside, and said, "My subordinates know their mistakes." ”

Song Yi saw him acting like this, but his heart was even more panicked, is this a slap in the face and then a sweet date? He quickly went over his enemy in his mind, and he really didn't have the impression of offending such a person.

Zhao Chuyun slowly and methodically picked up the tea cup on the table, brushed the tea foam, tasted a sip, and let the fragrance of tea fill his mouth, refreshing people's hearts.

Good tea.

The dead silence in the hall, Song Yi's heart became more and more bottomless, he didn't try to escape just now, but the man in white held him a little, and he felt that his whole body was sore, and he couldn't lift his strength at all.

After a while, Song Yi finally couldn't hold his breath and asked again: "Lao Tzu's enemies are all over the world, and if you want to kill them, you have to cut off a word, but when did Lao Tzu offend you, give me a happy word!" ”

Zhao Chuyun finally reacted, he smiled nobly and casually, and said: "The tea in the house is very good, very good, such a good tea, it should be sent by the former prefect Lord Song, right?" ”

Song Yi's face changed, and he said in a low voice, "What are you talking about?" That tea was bought by Lao Tzu himself! ”

"Don't understand?" Zhao Chuyun hooked his lips, the tails of his eyes hooked, and when he laughed, he made people feel harmless to humans and animals, and said softly: "Then say something you understand, it's not a big deal to disturb today, but there are a few questions for you to solve." ”

"Song Qihua is your cousin, you didn't take any money from him, right?"

"Are you from the Yamen?" Song Yi's eyes narrowed slightly, inquiring about Song Qihua? Could it be the person who came to investigate Song Qihua? He spread his hands and said, "If you want to ask about Song Qihua, I will explain everything I should explain, and I have nothing to say." ”

Zhao Chuyun raised his eyebrows slightly, and Gu Nan hurriedly stepped forward and whispered: "He was summoned by the Yamen, but his mouth was very hard, and half a sentence did not come out of his mouth. ”

Zhao Chuyun waved his hand, looked at Song Yi, and then said, "Nothing to say?" I just don't know if your old mother, who is leaning on the door all day long, will have something to say to me? ”

When Song Yi heard this, his face changed greatly, and he asked sharply: "What did you do?" ”

Zhao Chuyun's face was kind, and he said with a smile: "Master Song, I'll ask you a few questions, if you answer truthfully, your mother will be fine, if not......"

His eyes lit up: "You know the rules on the rivers and lakes." ”

The rules of the way?

"You're not from the Yamen? Who the hell are you? Song Yi's face became more and more ugly.

Zhao Chuyun still smiled and said, "We? It's just the light of the righteous path in the world that walks the rivers and lakes and is jealous and hateful. ”

Fan Wusu: "......"

Gu Nan almost burst out laughing.

Song Yi was suddenly deflated, sat down on the ground decadently, and said, "What do you want to ask?" ”

Zhao Chuyun sat up straight and asked, "What are you doing for Song Qihua?" ”

Song Yi sighed and said, "I'm helping him run a dental dealer." ”

The so-called tooth merchant is a firm or middleman who talks to buyers and sellers in the market, introduces transactions, and draws commissions, Zhao Chuyun frowned: "So what are you introducing transactions?" But...... Person? ”

Song Yi nodded and said, "I usually keep an eye on the targets at the entrances of various markets and alleys, take them back to the house when the time comes, and then find a good buyer and sell them." ”

Zhao Chuyun and Gu Nan glanced at each other, Gu Nan took out a list from his sleeve and handed it to Song Yi, and then asked, "Is there anyone you abducted and trafficked?" ”

Song Yi looked at it carefully, his expression became more and more dejected, and said, "There is ......"

Zhao Chuyun asked again: "You only abduct and sell boys?" ”

Song Yi said: "It turned out that it was accepted regardless of male and female children, but later Song Qihua told me that he had received a big order, and a buyer specialized in accepting boys, so he asked me to only look for boys." ”

Exclusively for children's men! Zhao Chuyun's expression froze and asked, "Who is the buyer?" ”

Song Yi shook his head and said: "I have never seen him, he only asked me to put the goods in the Zhulin Cave ten miles outside the city, Song Qihua asked me not to inquire about the identity of the buyer, otherwise something bad will happen." ”

"Goods?" Zhao Chuyun sneered, his face was cold, and his eyes looked at him sharply, "Then when did you start delivering goods?" How many deliveries were delivered? Is there a delivery available? ”

He paused word by word, very deliberately emphasizing the word "goods", Song Yi's head was smashed by a few words, he didn't dare to raise his head, he swallowed his saliva, felt a strong coercion, and only felt that the man in front of him was very dangerous, as if he could kill him in a moment!

He replied tremblingly, "I used to ...... The year before last...... In the summer, yes, the delivery began in the summer, and there were thirty or forty people scattered and scattered, but they were not sent recently, because Song Qihua was dismissed and investigated, and the limelight was tight, so he didn't dare to ......"

"It's better to be a brute!" Zhao Chuyun's face was as dark as water, there was anger in his eyes, and he scolded in a low voice, "Do you know that they are all fresh lives, and they are actually traded as goods by you?" ”

"Hmph, you still miss your old mother, but you have thought about the children who were abducted by you, separated from their parents, and never saw their relatives again!"

Song Yi's face changed suddenly, and he roared, "What do you know! I'm helping them! I give them a better choice! Instead of living with biological parents who can't give them anything, it's better to find a powerful parent! ”

Zhao Chuyun raised his eyebrows and sneered: "You mean you have done a good deed?" Do you think the children you abducted have a better life? ”

"What a joke, Song Qihua is a person who is not profitable, he does this to make money, do you think he will find some big families to send in?"
