Lu Zhong looked at everyone in front of him and said: "Mobilize all the Jinyi guards who can be mobilized, and search for Zhang Wenxuan in the whole city, the focus is on the gambling houses around Meridian Lane, everyone must be fast, you can't let Zhang Wenxuan run away, and you can't let him be killed." ”

"Yes. ”

Jinyi guards flocked out, leaving only Wang Yi, Lu Zhong, and Lao Song here.

Wang Yi was left behind by Lu Zhong, and they obviously wanted to ask something more from Lao Song's mouth.

Lu Zhong turned his head and looked at Lao Song, "Let me ask you, where is Zhang Wenxuan's residence outside?"

Old Song was stunned, obviously not expecting Lu Zhong to ask this question.

Lu Zhong saw that Lao Song didn't speak, and sneered: "Most of the Jinyi guards have their own houses outside, do you really think that this official doesn't know?"

"If the official doesn't say it, it doesn't mean that I don't know, for this kind of behavior of yours, I just turned a blind eye, you have paid so much for Jinyiwei, and I won't be too harsh on you, but if you don't say it now, then I have reason to suspect that you and Zhang Wenxuan are a group. ”

Old Song didn't speak indifferently, Lu Zhong lost his patience, and directly ordered: "Take us to Zhang Wenxuan's house outside!"

Lao Song was taken aback by Lu Zhong's words, but Lu Zhong's words also made Lao Song finally nod and agree to take them to Zhang Wenxuan's house outside.

Zhang Wenxuan's house outside is very close to Meridian Alley, less than two alleys away.

Along the way, Wang Yi found that there were some wealthy families in the vicinity, and there were red lanterns hanging in front of every house.

In the depths of the alley not far away, a few wild dogs lay there, quietly watching Wang Yi's group of people approach. In the alley, adults and their children are playing, setting off firecrackers, and building snowmen.

The snow piled up in the corner of the wall a few days ago, and it was the best place for children to play.

When the children and adults saw a group of brocade guards coming here, they immediately returned to their homes and closed the door, not daring to make a sound.

Those who join Jinyiwei have good family backgrounds, and there are. There are many people in the family who are poor. And Zhang Wenxuan's plan in Jinyiwei, what he recorded has always been that his family is poor and lives alone, and Jinyiwei's income has not been high, so Lu Zhong created a person in Jinyiwei, who can take on tasks and obtain silver by completing the tasks assigned by Lu Zhong.

Zhang Wenxuan did not complete the task in Jinyiwei to obtain the silver.

But looking at the other families in this alley, the people who live in this place are either rich or expensive, the walls are richly decorated, and the stone statues in front of the door are solemn and solemn, which makes people daunting.

The amount of money spent on buying a house in such a place is not a small amount, and the origin of this money is very suspicious. Lu Zhong suspected that the origin of Zhang Wenxuan's money was likely to be related to Zhao Qing's behind-the-scenes people.

Outside Zhang Wenxuan's house, Wang Yi and Lu Zhong glanced at each other, and instructed the Jinyi guard behind him to step forward and push open the door. A smell of blood came out, and the moment the gate opened, the red blood stains all over the courtyard came into everyone's eyes.

"Everyone went into the yard and was careful not to spoil the scene. ”

"Yes,"

One after another, the people of Jinyi Wei ran into the courtyard one after another, and after a while, someone came back and reported the situation to Lu Zhong and Wang Yi.

"My lord, in the courtyard, there are four corpses, two women, one man,

There was also a baby child, all of whom were killed with a single sword, leaving no trace. ”

"Heartbreaking!"

Wang Yi roared angrily, the red on his face appeared, and the green tendons on his forehead stood out.

These people don't even let go of children, they are really beasts, and they are so cruel.

Lu Zhong was very calm about this matter, he was used to seeing these cruel incidents, and he didn't know how many times he had died after being soft-hearted in Jinyiwei for many years.

Lu Zhong took a step forward and walked into the courtyard, Lu Zhong's pupils shrank, and the four corpses in the courtyard were sitting opposite each other, standing in the courtyard, blood all over the ground, and in front of the four people, there was still a table of food, and there was still hot steam in the meal.

Apparently, the family was eating when someone killed them.

Lu Zhong took out a handkerchief, covered his mouth and nose, looked at the four corpses, all of them were unrecognizable, and asked the Jinyi guard beside him, "Is this Zhang Wenxuan?"

Jin Yiwei, who was tidying up the scene beside him, replied: "My lord, for the time being, I am sure that this is Zhang Wenxuan, there is an obvious birthmark on the left leg of Zhang Wenxuan's body, and there is also an obvious birthmark on the left side of this corpse. ”

Lu Zhong nodded, "In the courtyard, is there any living mouth?" ”

At this time, a brocade guard came over and replied to Lu Zhong: "Lord Hui, judging from the clothes and living utensils in the house, there are only four people in the courtyard, and there is not a single living mouth left in the courtyard, even the dog in the corner of the wall has been killed." ”

Lu Zhong was very experienced with this kind of thing, and ordered: "Everyone go and investigate the surrounding residents and ask if anything has happened recently." In such a valuable yard, people should be found coming from the alley. ”

"Yes. ”

Wang Yi walked up and looked at Lu Zhong, "Lord Lu, you see something." ”

Lu Zhong walked in front of the corpse, squatted down, and looked at the four corpses sitting on the ground, all of them were killed with a knife, and the strength was excellent, he should be a veteran with a knife, and the knife should be extremely fast, and several people did not have time to make any resistance, sat at the dining table, and died directly.

Lu Zhong can be sure that the person who made the move should have cultivation above his true life, otherwise it would be impossible to do it so cleanly.

In Chang'an City, it must not be easy for people who can let the real strong kill people at will.

Lu Zhong has been in Chang'an City for so many years, and he also has a chill in his back.

"He's a master. ”

Wang Yi nodded, judging from the knife intent at the wound and the depth of the wound, this person must not be simple.

Just when Wang Yi was still thinking about asking Lu Zhong a question, a brocade guard came out of the room in the distance and walked over to this side.

"The two adults have inquired with the people around them, and this morning, when some of them were playing with their children in the street, there was indeed a person who came over, but the person described by everyone had no characteristics, because the person was wearing a cloak all over his body, and he could not see his face clearly. ”

"Zhang Wenxuan is a person, the neighbors have a good impression, the Gu family is kind, every time he comes here, he will greet everyone with a smile, very polite. ”

"And that Zhang Wenxuan, because it is the New Year, the neighbors said that recently, Zhang Wenxuan has been in and out of this yard very frequently, every time he comes back, he takes a carriage, and after getting off the carriage, he will carry a lot of things from the carriage.

They said that they were all very large boxes, and they couldn't see the specific contents clearly. ”

Jinyiwei's work efficiency is very fast, in a short period of time, all the things of Zhang Wenxuan will be investigated clearly, this kind of work efficiency may be the reason why Jinyiwei has been silent for many years and can rise in a short period of time.

After Lu Zhong inspected the body, it was cleaned up, and soon the body would be transported away by a special person and taken outside for cremation

The place where the corpse was, accompanied by a puff of green smoke, and the three of them disappeared into the world.

It's cruel, it's ruthless.

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency!"

At this time, from the kitchen, a brocade guard ran out, holding a silver ingot in his hand, shouting.

Wang Yi squinted his eyes and looked at the silver in the hand of the brocade guard, he knew what Zhang Wenxuan was driving the carriage from the outside and brought back the big boxes.

It's all a whole box of silver!

So with the confession of the neighbor before, the mystery of the box was solved, and Zhang Wenxuan got a lot of silver, and the origin of the silver is still unknown, but Wang Yi can be sure that his silver is definitely not obtained through serious means.

Lu Zhong got up, took the silver in the hand of the brocade guard, and observed,

The quality of the silver is good, it is rare in the world, Lu Zhong took a look at the silver with his hand, the weight is very sufficient, such silver cannot be obtained by a small person like Zhang Wenxuan, like this silver, there are only two places, one is the major money banks, they have the ability and template, to make this kind of silver. There is another place, that is, the treasury of the household department, and only these two places in the whole Ming Dynasty will have this kind of silver.

Turning over the silver, Lu Zhong lowered his head and looked at the payment at the bottom of the silver, which was written on Huitong Bank.

Lu Zhong asked Jin Yiwei on the side, "Whose property is this Huitong Bank?"

Jin Yiwei on the side thought for a while and replied: "My lord, Huitong Qianzhuang is a qualified Qianzhuang that has only recently been established, and the specific boss is not clear, but the subordinates hired by Qianzhuang, we have carefully paid attention to it, and they all use martial arts secrets that only the inner attendants have. ”

Lu Zhong squinted, turned his hand, and left the silver in his sleeve.

Now it seems that the backstage of these Huitong banks is likely to be the inner chamberlain. However, the Jinyi Guard and the Inner Guard, unlike the Jinyi Guard and the Qin Tianjian, are incompatible. Lu Zhong's attitude towards the inner chamberlain under Gao Lishi's charge has always been respectful and complementary to each other, but now it seems that the inner chamberlain is not ready to continue this situation.

Wang Yi heard the implication of the subordinate's words, that is, whether Jin Yiwei should continue to go to Huitong Money Village to find out.

went, it represents a complete reversal of the Jinyi Guard and the Inner Guard, and it is likely to cause the Inner Attendant and Qin Tianjian to join forces against the Jinyi Guard.

If you don't go, then the matter of Dexin Hall will not be investigated, and if the emperor asks, Lord Lu will not be able to deal with it, which will also be a bad situation.

Wang Yi can't imagine Lu Zhong's mood now, Ji Gang is not there, Lu Zhong is the head of Jinyiwei, and the issues to be considered by the family must be very comprehensive.

Wang Yi believed that if Lu Zhong was an ordinary Jinyi guard, then Lu Zhong would directly lead a large number of Jinyi guards to Huitong Qianzhuang without hesitation.

But Lu Zhong is now the head of Jinyiwei's family, and everyone's future and fate are in his hands.
