"Master, are you alright?" A family member next to Hu Enli looked at his master's expression as if he was choked, and asked cautiously.

Hu Enli didn't reply to his words, and after a long while, he snorted from his nose, "Aren't you also a businessman, what kind of big garlic is there!" ”

……

"I really didn't expect that this Hu Enli is actually a profiteer." Wu Neng said indignantly, "Shall we go to the government to denounce him?" ”

"Does it work?" Iron Mask asked lightly, "What about the evidence?" Just the few words he just said to us? ”

Wu Neng stopped talking, obviously he also knew this in his heart.

"Master, shall we go home now?" Sun San's voice came from outside the carriage, with a long-lost lightness and cheerfulness.

"Well, let's go back." Shi Cheng commanded outside the car curtain.

The wheels creaked and turned, and the Hu family members who were guarding the door did not know the unpleasantness between Shi Cheng and Hu Enli, and they drove Shi Cheng's car to the alley before returning to the gate of Hu Mansion.

Tie Mian looked at Shi Cheng, who was speechless, and whispered, "Fortunately, today is not for nothing." ”

"Hmm."

Seeing that Tie Mian and Wu Neng's eyes were cast, Shi Cheng said what was on his mind, "What Hu Enli said today can almost confirm the information I learned from Bai Jilong before about the Camel Bell Chamber of Commerce, they are not only the agents of the Lu Clan in the Southern Wilderness, but also personally involved in the affairs of transporting corpses. ”

"The monster that Hu Enli encountered on the Xieyang Road before should be the Black Messenger." Iron Mask said.

"Yes, that's what I thought." Shi Cheng nodded and said, "Have you noticed a detail?" In Huenli's description, the messenger suddenly woke up when they moved the body next to the cargo they were transporting. ”

"I'm thinking about that, too." "But judging from what Hu Enli described, it doesn't seem that the goods that Huang Yuan asked him to transport were not corpses. ”

Shi Cheng nodded, "Since they can transport corpses, they can naturally transport other things, but there is one thing that I think is a little strange." ”

"What's the matter?" Wu Neng asked.

"Since the Hu family is transporting goods for Huangyuan, why would they still suffer such an accident?"

Wu Neng thought for a moment and replied, "Maybe they didn't plan well, and maybe they let the monsters under their hands escape." ”

Shi Cheng's hand began to gently clap his knee again, and after a while, he shook his head and said, "There are many possibilities, and I'm not sure what the reason will be." What I'm worried about now is that we now know that the answers to many of our questions lie in the Camel Bell Chamber of Commerce, on the body of Huang Yuan, but this slippery loach can't be caught. Our hands are weak, like newborn babies. We have no foundation, no strength, no popularity, and we have been through the entire royal city several times, and only Zhao Ping can help us! When he said the last sentence, Shi Cheng's voice became a little excited.

"Are you starting to regret that you didn't write poems well at the Qinghechi Poetry Meeting?" Iron Mask asked nonchalantly.

"I also told you about the situation when I came back, others have to hold on to me, do you think I have any way to escape?" Shi Cheng asked rhetorically.

"It's better not to go if you knew this, you think about Sheng Degong, but people may not accept your affection, anyway, your granddaughter has been cured, and you won't need it anymore." Iron Mask's words leave no stone unturned.

Since returning from the last poetry meeting, the attitude of the Shengde Duke Han Wei towards the three of them has become more and more cold, although he has not yet found an excuse to go back to the coachman and the nursing home that lent him to Shi Cheng, but in the past few days, the Shengde Mansion has no longer sent people to greet him.

It was the first time for Wu Neng to see Shi Cheng so irritable, and hurriedly comforted: "Old Shi, we have done our best, after all, we are not the magnates of the Western Desert Country, and it is still difficult to control some things after all." ”

Shi Cheng stopped talking, Wu Neng and Tie Mian couldn't see what he was thinking in his heart, and the carriage was quiet again.

After returning to Yulin Lane, as soon as Shi Chenggang returned home, he hurriedly rushed to the study, and after writing a letter to Zhao Ping, he instructed Li Doujin: "Doujin, you go and send someone to send this letter to Deacon Xu of Huibao Pavilion." ”

"Yes, sir."

"By the way, is there any movement over there from the Camel Bell Chamber of Commerce?"

"I've received news that the Chamber of Commerce is operating as usual, and I haven't heard of any strange big projects they're doing. Oh, by the way, sir, I received a new news this morning, the president of the Chamber of Commerce seems to be coming back tonight, and I heard that he will appear in person at the martial arts conference tomorrow. ”

Shi Cheng was taken aback, "Is this news true?" ”

Li Doujin nodded, "It was asked by our people and a groom in the Chamber of Commerce when they were drinking together in a restaurant, and it is eighty percent credible." ”

"A businessman in Huangyuan, why was he invited to this kind of conference?"

"Master, I heard that this President Huang seems to have a lot of friends, and he is a big member, so there shouldn't be any problem in participating in that martial arts conference, right?"

"Hmm...... I know, it's hard work, Doujin, you go and arrange someone to deliver the letter. ”

"By the way, sir, there is another thing, it is about the Renxin Pavilion, the fellow villagers we hired to inquire about the Renxin Pavilion brought me a new message today, they asked about the Wei Yuan in your mouth when they were drinking tea with a guy in the head office."

In the correspondence with Xu Jincheng, Shi Cheng also learned more about the details of the Renxin Pavilion, so he asked his subordinates to focus more on investigating the direction of Wei Yuan.

Through the news passed by Xu Jincheng, Shi Cheng found that this Renxin Pavilion did not seem to belong to a certain family's Chamber of Commerce, basically all the big wealthy clans in the Western Desert Country had invested in this Herbal Medicine Chamber of Commerce, and the interests in it were also intertwined.

"Oh? Let's hear it. "Shi Cheng came to the spirit.

"According to the guy named Eminem, Wei Yuan was originally a pharmacist working in the Wangcheng head office, but later because he offended someone, he took the initiative to apply to go to the branch in Redwood City."

Shi Cheng asked, "Who did you offend?" ”

"I didn't ask this fellow villager clearly, it was all a matter of the upper echelons of the medicine store, and he couldn't ask a guy below to ask why."

Shi Cheng nodded and said, "Okay, continue to stare there, by the way, yesterday I also asked you to tell them to send some people to keep an eye on Wangyun Tower, did you order it to go down?" ”

"Don't worry, sir."

"Very good, you go and get busy, Doujin, and notify me in time if there is important news."

After Li Doujin left, Shi Cheng was the only one left in the study, and he sat quietly on the chair, always feeling very strange in his heart.

"Strange, I've been feeling something wrong since I came back...... Where is it? ”

……

The head of the Criminal Procuratorate of the Western Desert Wangcheng is in charge of the court.

Zhao Ping stood in front of a desk with a solemn face. On the other side of the desk, sat the head of the first court of the Criminal Procuratorate, Luo Cheng, the secretary of the Criminal Procuratorate.

"Zhao Ping, do you have anything to say?" Luo Cheng asked as he took back a report that was placed in front of Zhao Pingping.

"Lord Luo, the lower official thinks that this does not mean that the lower official's opinion is wrong."

A look of anger appeared on Luo Cheng's face, "Hmph! It's really stubborn, how dare you guarantee that Sun Jinyong, a thief, didn't play tricks on you before he died. ”

"Sun Jinyong's actions are of course heinous, but in the eyes of the lower officials, he will not be foolish in this kind of thing, let alone the monster or the lower officials have seen it with their own eyes."

"Oh?" Luo Cheng glared at Zhao Ping with disdain, "Let me ask you, have you personally experienced the rebellion of the Lu Clan?" ”

"Xia Guan is fashionable and young, and his memory is not deep."

"Then how can you be sure that what you see must be the so-called Lun Monster, and not some demon who has practiced corpse control magic? How can you guarantee that that Western Barbarian Danshi is not playing with Sun Jinyong as your comrade! ”

"My ......, my lord"

Luo Cheng didn't give Zhao Ping a chance to refute, he picked up the report that Zhao Ping had just read, and asked, "Tell me, how do you plan to refute the findings in this return?" After so many days, have you Black Knife Guards found the corpse of a so-called monster in the Sand Mountain? ”

"But my lord, the lower officials think that this case is full of suspicions and mixed contexts, and it may not be the same thing."

"In that case, then you can go and investigate." Luo Cheng snorted coldly, "These days, the investigation of Sun Jinyong has a preliminary eyebrow, and you already know it now, the connection with this case is getting deeper and deeper." Wang Shang and Dutang have decided to let the internal guards and your black sword guards jointly investigate the case, and they must investigate all kinds of things that have happened in the past six months. Zhao Ping, the implication between you and Sun Jinyong has not yet been cleared, but don't make a joke about trusting a Western barbarian at this time. I don't need to tell you what you should do during this time. If you don't want to get involved in this case, I will send a letter to the Clerk's Department and ask them to move your official documents to the yamen where you should go as soon as possible. ”

Zhao Ping stared at the official document in Luo Cheng's hand for a moment, and finally sighed and said helplessly: "Xia Guan knows." ”

……

The night passed quickly, and the next morning, Shi Cheng got up early in the morning, because today was the day he was invited to attend the martial arts meeting. After learning that Huang Yuan might also participate in this conference, Shi Cheng's heart was even more eager to immediately put wings on himself and fly directly to Zhujia Villa.

"Master, this is the newspaper I just bought." When Shi Cheng had breakfast with Wu Neng and Tie Mian, Zhang Tian brought the newspaper he had just bought to the table.

"Okay, good work." After Shi Cheng thanked him, he took the newspaper.

"Lao Shi, don't forget to show us when you're done." Wu Neng said indistinctly as he stuffed a piece of pie into his mouth.

"Got it." Shi Cheng replied with a smile while looking at the "Wangcheng Morning News" in his hand.

With the development of the times, the Di Bao, which was originally a messenger tool within the government, stepped out of the palace wall and entered the people. This is especially true in rich countries. Of the four newspapers on the table in front of Shi Cheng, only the "North Street Daily" has one-half of the official background on the surface, and the rest are all local newspapers, and "Wangcheng Morning News" is one of them.

Shi Cheng ate a little absent-mindedly, and most of his attention was on the somewhat darkened newspaper in his hand.

"Well, this one is about disaster relief, starting with the north of the city, near the harbor...... Date...... Seems like just four days later? ”

"An unidentified male corpse was found in the ditch of Piercing Wind Lane, his face was unrecognizable, and after examination, it was confirmed that he died on the night of twenty-five May, and the body is currently parked in Yizhuang outside the city, waiting to be claimed...... This place seems to be quite close to Yulin Lane. ”

"There was a murder in the west of the city, and yesterday there were a total of five cases of maiming people by hunting bows in the city, the most in a single day this year...... It's not even half way through this year......"

"Zongmen Daily, well...... After all, it is a folk newspaper run by the great sects of the Western Desert Kingdom, and there are a lot of things related to the Guanwu Conference, which is a little different from the focus of other mansion newspapers. ”

"The score of the new round of Kemari is ......"

"Yesterday there was an official meeting between the Western Desert Kingdom and the Yuanliu Mission...... Strangely, the article is written with flowers, but there is nothing real real on a closer look. ”

Shi Cheng ate while watching, Wu Neng had already eaten all the pies on the plate, and the soup cakes in the bowl in front of Shi Cheng were only half missing.

There was a knock on the door, and then Li Doujin's voice sounded outside the door, and his tone was a little anxious, "Master, the royal envoy is here, and there is a carriage from the palace!" The leading messenger said, please hurry up and get ready, so that you can rush with them to the Zhujia Villa on the eastern outskirts of the royal city as soon as possible. ”

"It's so early." Shi Cheng looked at the half bowl of soup cakes in front of him, "Doujin, please wait a while, we will come out soon." ”

Li Doujin immediately went back to the front yard after answering outside the door, Shi Cheng hurriedly put down the newspaper in his hand, "There is still half a bowl, don't waste it." ”

Wu Neng looked at Shi Cheng, who was gobbling up, and asked a little anxiously: "Lao Shi, do you want Lao Tie and I to prepare too." ”

Shi Cheng nodded, "You two should also hurry up and prepare, although the King of the Western Desert may not let you sit with me, but the three of us will go together, so we can take care of it." I received the news yesterday that Huang Yuan has returned, and may still participate in this martial arts meeting, and we must not miss this opportunity. ”
