-----------------------------------------------

Fang Zhongjin and Ji Changan just looked at the dilapidated house in front of them. All the way from the raging to the fire gradually extinguished. There is already a whitish glimmer in the east.

The more Ji Changan looked at it, the more annoyed he became, and finally squatted down and punched the muddy ground. The anger in his heart really had nowhere to vent, and it was not easy to find the spy, but in the end it fell short. Even the corpse of the spy was reduced to ashes in the fire, leaving no trace of it.

Ji and Fang had already checked four or five surrounding households when they first rushed out of the fire house. There was no room in the room, and there was a thin layer of dust on the table stove. It is speculated that the thief may have killed all the people here a long time ago.

Fang Zhongjin looked at the depressed Ji Chang'an, and suddenly said, "If you are willing to tell me now, who are you going to arrest." He stole something again. Maybe I can figure it out for you. ”

Ji Changan looked up at Fang Zhongjin for a long time, and finally spoke: "Do you know wine?"

Seeing that Fang Zhongjin nodded in surprise, Ji Changan said again: "This wine is a tribute from the Great Food Country to the current saint. It is said that it is different from the rice wine and liquor we often drink. The wine is sweet and sweet, and every drop is as precious as gold. Ji Changan sighed and said: "Two months ago, a group of envoys from the Great Food Country came to Beijing to pay tribute. It is said that this wine was brought from more western countries, and it took a lot of trouble to bring these three bottles of wine along the way. This wine is really worthy of the word 'priceless', and I am afraid that there are only five bottles of wine left in the entire Shenzhou. But he didn't expect that before the envoy left, a snitch stole it with a box of wine. ”

Fang Zhongjin asked again, "Then do you know what the origin of this snitch is?"

Ji Changan snorted and said, "This snitch looks like a roe deer, but he is still a thief. The people of the rivers and lakes called him 'Thunder Light Mouse'. He is said to have bought and sold only a few times in his life, and each time he stole rare and valuable goods. And every time I come prepared, I get out of the way. ”

Fang Zhongjin pondered for a moment and said, "I know that the reason why wine is extremely precious is because its characteristics are diametrically opposed to our Han wines. Our wines get better and better as they age. This wine can only be stored for three or five years after it has been made, otherwise the taste will deteriorate. ”

Ji Changan had never heard these words, he looked at Fang Zhongjin in a daze for a long time, and asked, "Who are you?"

This question was asked abruptly, and Fang Zhongjin replied with a normal face: "I used to be the bodyguard of Shuying Pavilion, and I have also seen some of these extravagant things. I also know that wine is not easy to store. It needs to be stored in a cold and dark environment, and it should be kept to minimize its shaking. Otherwise, the quality of the wine will deteriorate. ”

Ji Changan nodded and said: "As far as I know, those envoys of the Great Food Country originally brought more than twenty bottles of wine, and used so many manpower and material resources to be sent to the capital, only these three bottles of unchanged quality remained. ”

Fang Zhongjin said again: "Since the Thunder Light Rat has spent so much effort stealing wine. I'm afraid not to drink it for myself. This wine is not long-lasting, and it is not easy to preserve. In fact, it is not an easy thing to sell. ”

Ji Changan stood up involuntarily. He frowned, and a pair of sharp eyes stared at Fang Zhongjin tightly. He has been conceited all his life with the word "hero", so he never hides the arrogance on his face. And the man in front of him was unlike anyone he had ever seen in his life. I'm afraid that in terms of talents, Fang Zhongjin is one point better than himself.

Ji Changan forcibly suppressed the unwilling emotion in his heart, and asked, "Then why do you say he stole this money-losing goods?"

Fang Zhongjin said: "If I am a thunder light rat, since the wine has been stolen, I must hurry up and think about making a move." And he is always hanging out in the suburbs of Beijing, playing cat and mouse games with you. Fang Zhongjin paced a few steps, and suddenly asked, "Do you know any huge wealth in the suburbs of Beijing who can afford to buy wine?"

Seeing that Ji Changan was deep in thought, Fang Zhongjin added: "It's best to be a rich family who happens to be away from home recently. The thunderbolt rat didn't leave, probably waiting for the man to come home. ”

Ji Changan's eyes became more and more intense, and suddenly his pupils dilated, and he said, "It's not a rich man!"

Seeing Fang Zhongjin's puzzled expression, Ji Chang was slightly happy in his heart. The corners of his mouth twitched slightly and said, "Even if there are some rich people in the suburbs of Beijing, no one dares to buy Western wine stolen from the palace. Neither the financial nor the powerful can swallow such a treasure. Right now, I'm afraid that the thunder light rat is waiting for someone here, but an auction. ”

Fang Zhongjin didn't interrupt, nodded and let Ji Changan continue.

Ji Changan turned his back and paced two steps, thinking in his heart: I don't know if I should tell outsiders like Fang Zhongjin what I said next.

Suddenly, he turned his head and said to Fang Zhongjin as if he had made up his mind: "King Ning will hold a Shaoguang banquet in Hangzhou in the near future." Lei Guang Mouse and others must be the world's first auction conference after the Shaoguang banquet. ”

It turned out that King Ning was Zhu Di's younger brother Zhu Quan. When Zhu Di raised his army, he coerced Zhu Quan to rebel with him, and forcibly borrowed the "Duoyan Sanwei". This Yan Sanwei was actually the Mongolian cavalry that surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, and it was also the most elite unit of the Ming Dynasty. In order to borrow troops, Zhu Di once made a promise to Zhu Quan to "divide the world". But now Zhu Di has ascended the throne in the capital, and Zhu Quan has also been renamed Nanchang. Something that divides the world, but no one mentions it anymore.

Zhu Quan knew that there was no hope in this life, so he deliberately indulged in the scenery of lakes and mountains, alchemy and listening to dramas, and also liked to study some Western kitsch and lewd skills on weekdays. The people who made friends with him were all literati and martial arts people, and they also gave themselves a Taoist name called Hanxuzi. Recently, I learned some Western methods and wanted to hold an auction. Zhu Di felt guilty about him, and also knew that Zhu Quan deliberately showed his lustful voice in order to express to himself that he Zhu Quan had no great ambitions in his life, so he didn't need to guard against him. Therefore, Zhu Di has always turned a blind eye to what he did. Now if this Lei Guang Mouse's case involves Ning Wang Zhu Quan, it will be difficult for him to dig deeper. No matter what the reason is, if you go to investigate and expose it, you won't be able to touch a single cold hair of the royal family at all, and you will only lose your life in vain. I don't know how to go back to this case.

Fang Zhongjin frowned and asked, "I've read the introduction of the auction from some miscellaneous records, and it's best to use it to sell the stolen goods." It's just that King Ning has never been involved in political affairs, and he prides himself on elegance all day long. I don't think he could have done anything to steal the tribute. The thunder light rat didn't know how to avoid King Ning's ears and eyes, and took the opportunity of the auction to sell the stolen goods. ”

Ji Changan sighed and said, "Since it involves the emperor's family affairs, I shouldn't wade into this troubled water again." It's a big deal to go back and be scolded for being unfavorable, and it's just a demotion. ”

Fang Zhongjin saw that Ji Chang'an was even more depressed than just now, and asked again: "If we can't catch the Thunder Light Mouse, but we can welcome back the tribute, can we help you atone for your sins?"

Ji Changan was stunned for a moment and said: "Since Lei Guang Mouse has the intention to sell the stolen goods in the auction, the wine must be listed at a very high price, and there is a lot of protection. If only I could reveal my identity. But the stakes are very high, and King Ning cannot be easily alarmed. How can I get the tribute back?"

Fang Zhongjin chuckled lightly and said confidently: "If you are willing to agree to one condition for me, then you are willing to pretend to be my subordinate." I'll help you find your wine. What do you think?"
