Chapter 287: The Murder Case Rises Again (1)

Shen Guhong is now a big celebrity, and the students who know his identity as the son of the Divine Arrow are complaining about why he has such good martial arts and does not take the martial arts examination, and in turn competes with them for the ranking of the scientific examination. In fact, these students will have this idea, and safety is secretly fueled by someone. Otherwise, who really knows Shen Guhong's details, who will believe him to take the scientific examination.

"It's not the same to have a relationship and money, you can't read books, and you can still take the top prize!" A sarcastic voice reached Shen Guhong's ears, but it was He Ru, a genius from Chang'an, who walked beside him.

Shen Guhong was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said, "Are you saying this to me?"

Wen Yongjie said: "Don't you know? Recently, there have been rumors on the streets and alleys that you want to take the top prize, and it has something to do with the Prime Minister's Mansion, saying that the champion is already yours!"

"Where do you start with this?" Shen Guhong was really confused by the second monk this time.

Wen Yongjie's expression became serious, and said, "I'm afraid this matter is not aimed at you, but at Xiangye Kou!"

Shen Guhong nodded and said, "But as long as I don't go to the exam, this rumor will be broken, don't worry about it!"

Wen Yongjie said with a smile: "What we have to take care of now is a homicide case, and Kou Xiangye can definitely handle these small things!"

While talking, the two had already approached the title inn. Xiao Er glanced at the counter, and saw that the shopkeeper was sleeping on the counter, and then whispered: "Wen Zhutou, what about the one hundred taels of silver you promised me?"

Wen Yongjie handed over two ingots of fifty taels of official silver and said, "You are so self-conscious!"

Xiao Er's got the silver, and he immediately smiled all over his face, and said: "Don't worry, Wen Zhutou, the little one definitely doesn't say a word of nonsense, even if he goes to the court, he dares to say it!"

"Okay, go and wake up the shopkeeper!" Wen Yongjie said.

Xiao Er said: "It's really strange, in the past, the shopkeeper's plan was very loud, and he never fell asleep, but when he slept today, it was almost an hour!"

Shen Guhong and Wen Yongjie listened, glanced at each other, their faces changed, and when they walked to the counter, they saw that the shopkeeper was already lifeless, and he was also poisoned and died.

"How can this be?" Xiao Er's also panicked. He didn't expect the shopkeeper to die at this time, he only felt that his legs were weak, and he sat down on the ground.

Shen Guhong said: "It seems that this case is far from being as simple as you and I imagined!"

Wen Yongjie said: "I have already asked someone to inform the old man of the yamen, Lin Laohan, to see what he says!"

Shen Guhong sighed: "An hour has passed, even if it is a turtle, it has crawled far away." Lin Laohan came to the autopsy, what conclusion can he draw?"

When Wen Yongjie heard this, he was also quite helpless. Not long after, several arresters from the government came over and carried the body of the shopkeeper of the title inn back to the yamen. Shen Guhong said: "If he hadn't taken the risk of moving Lian Shijin's body to the gate of Jinxiu Building, he would not have ended up today, alas, if it is really said that there is karma as the Buddhists say, this may be the case." Let's go, maybe we have to take a trip to Phoenix Lake!"

Wen Yongjie said: "Let's go again? Could it be that you have discovered something?"

Shen Guhong shook his head and said: "It would be nice if there was something to discover, but we were full of walking last time, and this time we will have to take a good look!"

Wen Yongjie's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said, "Maybe it was an accident to go to Phoenix Lake in a row, maybe he was killed because he saw something he shouldn't see!"

Shen Guhong said: "How did you come up with this?"

Wen Yongjie said with a smile: "Didn't those students say that he was going to drink with flowers? Phoenix Lake used to be the largest fireworks venue in Bianjing City, Yexiang Building, if he went to Yexiang Building and crossed Phoenix Lake, then everything would make sense!"

Shen Guhong smiled: "These are all thought of, in fact, you can solve this case without me!"

Wen Yongjie said: "Don't hide it from Brother Shen, I just thought of it under your reminder!"

Shen Guhong scolded with a smile and said, "Don't wear a high hat for me." ”

Wen Yongjie also chuckled, and when the two came to Phoenix Lake, there were still boats coming and going on the water, most of which belonged to the princes and nobles. Shen Guhong looked into the distance, but saw that on the west side of Phoenix Lake, rows of neat streets stretched into the distance. On these streets, there are all kinds of vendors, but the most common ones are inns and taverns.

"Let's go over and have a look!" Shen Guhong walked in front, Wen Yongjie followed, and the two came to the street near Phoenix Lake, the first one was an inn with a famous "Bafang Inn".

"Bafang Inn, this inn is very interesting!" Shen Guhong looked up, and only saw that the people who entered and exited the inn were ethnic minorities from the north, and many were merchants from the sea.

Wen Yongjie said: "You have been to the desert, you should know that many ethnic minorities have their own customs and habits, this Bafang Inn has several rooms according to the habits of various ethnic groups, and the food is arranged according to those ethnic minorities!"

Shen Guhong said: "The world is so big, how can he arrange the room according to the diet and customs of various ethnic groups? The shopkeeper of this inn is really a powerful person. ”

Wen Yongjie said: "The shopkeeper of this inn is called Zuo Bafang, whether it is black or white, he eats very openly. He occupies a large piece of land here, and every time a nation comes and goes, he arranges rooms and meals according to the habits of this nation, and in less than ten years, the Bafang Inn has become famous all over the world!"

"So that's the case, then he should make a lot of money!" Shen Guhong said.

Wen Yongjie said: "Second only to Jinxiu Building!"

"Do you want to go in and have a look?" Wen Yongjie said suddenly.

Shen Guhong smiled and said: "What can you see when you go in? Could it be that you go to check room by room? Or do you directly check Zuo Bafang? But what do you say after you go in? Do you suspect that the murderer is from the guest house, or do you directly suspect Zuo Bafang?"

Wen Yongjie smiled bitterly and said, "One sentence leads to so many of your questions, how can I answer this?"

Shen Guhong had been here with Wen Yongjie that day, and found some footprints left by Lian Shijin on the edge of Phoenix Lake. In this way, Lian Shijin was standing there at that time, which was enough to clearly see what was happening here at the Bafang Inn. But is that really the case? If so, did Lian Shijin see something at that time? So that these people wanted to kill people.

Shen Guhong pondered for a while, after all, he didn't know what to do, and at that moment his eyes suddenly lit up, and said, "Let's go, let's go meet someone!"

"Who?" Wen Yongjie asked casually.

Shen Guhong said: "Little overlord to Xiaolong,"

"Are you going to Overlord Village?" Wen Yongjie really couldn't think of anything to do with Xiang Xiaolong in the future.

Shen Guhong said: "In this Bianjing City, black and white will not be left Bafang, there should be only one Xiang Xiaolong." ”

"He's not the only one, but he's a jack of all trades in Bianjing······ I understand. Since he is a jack of all trades, he should be quite familiar with the gambling games and personnel in Bianjing City, and from him, he will definitely know who has recently come to the capital. Wen Yongjie has been hunting for many years, and although her thoughts can't keep up with Shen Guhong, she will always realize it later.

Shen Guhong smiled: "That's right!"

Once because of Ye Ziheng, there was a gap between Xiang Xiaolong and Shen Guhong, but Xiang Xiaolong has always been bold, and now the reputation of the Divine Arrow Boy is in full swing. Seeing that Shen Guhong actually came to visit, the unhappiness of the past suddenly disappeared, and some were just excited and excited.

"Divine Arrow Prince, Wen Zhutou, please!" Xiang Xiaolong personally came out of the village to greet him, and instructed the subordinates of the villa to prepare wine and food. After three glasses of wine, Shen Guhong went straight to the point and said, "Brother Xiang, Shen came here this time to ask you for a favor!"

"Divine Arrow Child, please speak!" said to Xiaolong.

Shen Guhong said: "Brother Xiang doesn't need to be so polite, if you don't mind, just call me Guhong!"

When Xiang Xiaolong heard this, he couldn't help but let out a hearty laugh, and said, "Okay, please ask Brother Shen to command, but whatever Xiang can do, it is impossible to give up the definition!"

Shen Guhong and Wen Yongjie glanced at each other and said, "That's the case, I want to ask Brother Xiang to help find out what people have entered the capital recently, and in addition, what are the gambling games set up by students in this capital." ”

When Xiang Xiaolong heard this, he couldn't help frowning slightly, his gaze swept over Shen Guhong and Wen Yongjie, and said, "Are you here to investigate the case?"

Shen Guhong nodded: "This case, I always feel that it is not simple. By the way, is it difficult to look at my brother's expression?"

Xiang Xiaolong said: "It's just a trouble to check those who have entered Beijing, and it takes time." As for the gambling games set up in the capital, I'm afraid it's not easy to interfere. In Xiang Mou's opinion, you don't need to suspect the person who set up the gambling game, although I Xiang Xiaolong dare not guarantee that every gambling game is fair, but I dare to guarantee that in this capital, no one has dared to kill students to win the gambling game, because no matter who does this, the final result will be squeezed out by all the gangs in the capital, and they will have no place in the capital!"

Shen Guhong didn't know much about the black and white in Bianjing City, but Xiang Xiaolong had always been a good word, since he said so. This part of the doubt can be saved, and the mind can be put on the stranger who has just entered Beijing. However, Shen Guhong's thoughts about the newcomers to the capital are from the Bafang Inn, as for who Lian Shijin sees, who can say for sure?

"Then check the new outsiders in Beijing, please Brother Xiang!" Shen Guhong picked up his wine glass and drank a glass with Xiang Xiaolong.

Xiang Xiaolong smiled and said, "Three days later, I will send someone to send the results to Kou Mansion!"

Shen Guhong smiled: "I'll take it myself, I'm sorry to trouble you!"

"You and I are polite, come, let's go again!" Xiang Xiaolong began to toast again.
