Chapter 45: Before Dawn

"What are you talking about?" "What did Xue Wugang report to Fang Xiao and Xue Nong about the results of the inspection of the big warehouse in the west of the city, and suddenly glared and said, "Fang Xiao, you told me to stop all investigations in the city and control some minor officials in the government?"

"Yes, Fang Xiao's release of those big fish, that's what I mean. But why don't you keep the little fish? This is somewhat unreasonable. Xue Nano also asked.

"Uncle Xue, we should do everything now, we should only help Brother Xiao arrange the last journey of his life. Fang Xiao said and blinked at Xuenong.

"Fang Xiao, you're right, Qing Tan's funeral should be done well. But it's also you who said it, we find out the truth to really avenge and answer for Xiao Qingtan. Listening to Fang Xiao's words, Xuewu also said eagerly, for fear that Xue Nong agreed to Fang Xiao's proposal.

Xue Nong smiled and said, "Empty City Plan?"

"That's right, that's why those eunuchs are being targeted. Fang Xiao also said with a smile.

"What is this? "Bloody was completely confused by these two people.

"You, how can Fang Xiao be inferior to you as a calm person?" Xue Nong also shook his head unhappily and said, "He is playing with a hand to calm the brake." ”

"Static braking?"

"Let Fang Xiao tell you herself. Xue Nong raised his hand to let Fang Xiao explain it clearly, and he made tea.

"That's the case, Brother Qing Tan has just been murdered by them, so they must not dare to confront us directly. But I'm afraid that the documents we played are already in Nanjing, and even the Jingshi is only the news of the past two days. When Su Buqing's head hunt officially comes down, then their major event is afraid that it will be far away, so they must be very tormented. Compared to them, we can afford to wait. Fang Xiao also simply said why she wanted to be quiet.

"But why do you say that it is an empty city plan?"

Fang Xiao's face also changed and asked, "Brother Blood, do you think our opponent is cunning?"

When Xuewu answered, he couldn't help flashing the appearance of Xiao Qingtan being hit by several arrows, gritted his teeth and said, "Don't be cunning, it's really deceitful." ”

"That's right, in the face of such a person, you can only use his suspicious points. Fang Xiao also continued to be puzzled by the blood, "When we take everyone back, it will give Shuiyue Pavilion an illusion." ”

"We have given up the investigation and will deal with Qing Tan's funeral first. Xuewu also answered.

"That's right, but the news for that person is not so good for him, because it is difficult for people who are used to living a dark life to live in the sun again, and suddenly he feels that this is the starting action before we want to close the net. Fang Xiao also speculated, "Since he has this kind of thought, then no one can trust him, so he can only go to the next step he arranged to inspect and see if there is any problem." ”

"So we're betting that their higher-ups will check it out?" said Xuewu with a frown.

"You can say that, but I can feel that I'm basically still going to walk around Okura in the west of the city. Fang Xiao also pointed to the location of the big warehouse in the west of the city on the map that was now hung in the study by Xue Nong.

"No, I only came back from the big warehouse in the west of the city today, and it's hard to store things there in the short term. "Blood is also open.

"You forget that they are the emperor's people. Xue Nong also spoke, "The information that just came today said that Zhou Bochang has agreed with Ma Gui, a eunuch, to collect the imperial grain again. ”

"This is as it should be, after all, the big warehouse in the west of the city is still managed by the inner treasury, otherwise it will be difficult to explain to the above, after all, the grain stored in the Water Moon Pavilion is now just our family's words. Bloodless said.

But the number he asked for was too great, three times higher than in previous years. Xue Nao also threw the information on the table and said.

"There is also the fact that this number is no more than ten dou meters above and below the amount said by the two fake officials who have already confessed. Fang Xiao also said.

"Could it be just a coincidence?" asked Bloody Nothing.

"I also hope it's a coincidence, but another piece of news makes me have to bind this Ma Gui to Shuiyue Pavilion. Fang Xiao said.

"What is it?" asked Xuewu as he continued.

"This Ma Gui asked for grain. Fang Xiao said, "According to reason, the grain must be of high quality to the emperor, otherwise it will not be able to enter the inner warehouse, and it will not be able to handle it well when it enters the Beijing Division." But this time, Ma Gui only needs the quantity, and even the quality doesn't care, not only put the old rice in storage, but even a spy reported that he was still collecting chaff. So I'm sure that Ma Gui's batch of things must not be prepared for the emperor. And these things may not be sold in normal times, and the only place to go is to those who don't care about anything to survive. Fang Xiao chuckled and said what she thought.

"But since you're so sure, why don't you just take it. Xuewu asked with some excitement.

"You're confused again, first of all, I still haven't figured out where the pavilion master of Qingshui Moon Pavilion is hiding, so I'm going to use Ma Gui to transfer him out, and secondly, whether it's Ma Gui, Zhou Bochang, or Yang Fengzhi, we can't move the approval of the capital or the Jingshi without it in our hands, although we can act cheaply in an emergency, but now we can afford to wait, and it should be them who can't afford to wait. In the morning, Uncle Xue also issued an order saying that it was to rectify the market, cooperate with the government to deal with some grain merchants, and they all had another deal with Ma Gui, I think now we say that we want to deal with Brother Xiao's funeral with peace of mind, and that person's heart must not be at ease. Fang Xiao said, and couldn't help but look at Xue Nong.

"Don't talk about that, we don't care about anything now, just give Xiao Qingtan the last one tomorrow. Xue Nong also said, but his eyes couldn't help but look at the northernmost Taishi chair in the study, as if a man was sitting on it and smiling at him.

In a courtyard in the west of the city, Mo Qingfu looked at the six maids and servants who were hanged up and said coldly: "I said that if the young lady is gone, you will all bury her." Now that Miss hasn't been found, I'll leave you alive for the time being, if tomorrow my subordinates haven't found Miss or Miss is gone, hmph, you will feel that death is also a good thing. Although Mo Qingfu's tone was very flat, the two crushed stone balls in his hand already showed his anger now.

And the six people who were hanging didn't say a word, not that they didn't want to say it. It's the scars on their bodies that have blocked all their strength.

"Master, Ma Gui asks to see you. A guy walked in and said.
