Volume 6 Chapter 5 Wailang of the Ministry of Labor
Su Zhuo nodded and dusted off the stationery. There was only one sentence written on the pen & fun &www.biquge.info letter: The matter has been done!
Hua Ping saw it next to him and wondered, "What does this mean?"
Su Zhuo pondered for a while and said, "There must be an ulterior secret hidden in this letter! She hid the letter in the censer. And the person who wrote this letter caught Yan'er, but he didn't find the letter, so he beat her in every way, and finally strangled her to vent his anger!"
Yan Linglong said: "So, Yan'er wasn't arrested because she broke the rules?"
Su Zhuo nodded and said, "That's right! She knew some secrets that shouldn't be known, so she suffered this catastrophe!"
Yan Linglong clenched her fists and said hatefully: "Since this is the case, this person is the enemy of my Four Seas Alliance!
Hua Ping groaned: "According to Su Zhuo's inference, the murderer who killed Yan'er, that is, the person who wrote the letter, should be surnamed Cao, and his family lives in the south of the city, and he is not an ordinary person!"
Yan Linglong said loudly: "I'll go find him out!"
Hua Ping also followed: "I'll go with you!"
The two said that they would leave, and Su Zhuo shouted: "Stop me!" The two were stunned and looked back at Su Zhuo. Su Zhuo sighed and said: "The two of you are in chaos now, and the other is a woman and a husband, so you can only do bad things!"
Yan and Hua didn't expect him to have the heart to joke at the moment, and they were ashamed and angry. Su Zhuo hurriedly said: "It's not early today, we might as well leave Yan'er's body in this Guanyin temple and ask the monks in the temple to do too much." Linglong only needs to instruct the brothers of the Four Seas Alliance in Licheng to help find this person. They are the head snakes here, so they naturally get twice the result with half the effort. As long as I know who it is, I'll go and meet him myself tomorrow!"
He arranged it in an orderly manner, and Hua Ping and Yan Linglong had to comply. Yan Linglong released a signal outside the temple and called for people. Hua Ping and Su Zhuo first buried the bodies of the four black-clothed people, and then picked up Yan'er's corpses and entered the temple.
The people in the temple were originally hiding, but there was no movement at this time, and I don't know what happened. At first glance, when I saw Su Zhuo and others entering the temple, I hid from afar, took the opportunity to sneak out of the door, and ran away. Only the monks in the temple remained, standing aside in fear.
When the old monk saw Su Zhuo go and returned, he cowered and said, "Donor, you ...... What more are you going to do?"
Su Zhuo said: "I have a friend who unfortunately passed away, and I asked the master to take it over!"
The old monk hurriedly said, "This ...... This is natural, nature ......"
Su Zhuo took out an ingot of ten taels of gold from his arms, put it in the old monk's hand, and said, "I said that if I have the opportunity to reshape the golden body of the Bodhisattva, I will not cheat!"
When the old monk saw the gold, he chanted the Buddha and called all the monks to come and cross for the wild goose. Several people placed the body in the side hall, and Hua Ping couldn't help asking: "Su Zhuo, if we really find this person, what are you going to do?"
Su Zhuo snorted, shook the letter in his hand, and said, "I have my own way!"
Hua Ping saw that he didn't want to say more, so he had to stop asking each other and sighed.
Early the next morning, the rain began to fall heavier again. Su Zhuo and others kept watch in the Guanyin Temple all night, which can also be regarded as a vigil for the wild goose. After breakfast, a young man with a thief's eye and a lewd description walked into the temple gate. He was at the door of the temple and looked in.
Su Zhuo suddenly said, "Hey, who are you looking for?"
The man was startled, and said angrily, "I'm not looking for you anyway!"
Yan Linglong said to Su Zhuo, "He's here to find me!" and walked towards the man.
The man smiled flatteringly at Yan Linglong and said: "Alliance leader, the villain took a turn in the south of the city last night, and finally found out who you are looking for! There is only one family surnamed Cao in the south of the city, called Cao Liyi, I heard that it is a foreigner from the Ministry of Engineering, who was specially sent by the imperial court to supervise the water conservancy of the Yellow River. His house is in the south of the city, and it is a big house. ”
Su Zhuo frowned slightly and was silent. Yan Linglong nodded at the person who reported the news, and said, "Thank you for your hard work!"
The man smiled even more happily, and said busily: "It's not hard work, it's a blessing for the villain to be able to do things for the alliance leader!
Yan Linglong praised the man again before sending him away. Su Zhuo snickered on the side and said, "I can't imagine that there are such flattering people in your Four Seas Alliance!"
Yan Linglong scolded angrily: "No matter what, it's better than you!" Okay, since I found this Cao Liyi, I'm going to arrest him and ask him!"
Su Zhuo hurriedly stopped her and said, "Don't be busy, if you go so directly, you may not be able to catch him." Besides, it is not certain that this surname Cao is the murderer of Yan'er. There must be some ulterior secret in that letter, and Yan'er gave her life for it. If we don't find out the truth, won't Yan'er die in vain?"
Yan Linglong said angrily: "I don't have the curiosity of you, I just need revenge!"
Hua Ping persuaded: "Miss Yan, Su Zhuo is right. This letter involves more than just this Cao Li, if the truth cannot be ascertained, more people may die. I don't think that's what Miss Yan'er wants to see. ”
Yan Linglong was speechless when he said something. Yan Linglong had no choice but to nod and say, "Okay, since you all said so, I will keep the life of this surnamed Cao for the time being." So what should we do now?"
Su Zhuo sighed helplessly, he didn't expect that for Yan Linglong, Hua Ping's words actually carried more weight than him, but he didn't dare to say this. He thought for a moment and said, "You stay here, I'll go and meet this outsider!"
Yan Linglong frowned and said, "No! Although you have some kung fu, you still have little experience in the rivers and lakes, so I don't worry about you going alone!"
Hua Ping hurriedly said on the side: "I'll accompany him!" As he spoke, he put on his coat with Su Zhuo, put on his hat and went out.
The two rode horses and galloped all the way, heading straight for Cao Mansion in the south of the city. When I arrived at the gate of the house, I saw that the door of the house was closed, and there were two guards at the door. Hua Ping dismounted and asked in a low voice, "Su Zhuo, how did you go to see that person surnamed Cao?"
The corners of Su Zhuo's mouth rose slightly, and said, "I have my own clever plan!"
The guard at the door stopped and asked, "What are you doing?"
Su Zhuo took out a waist card from his waist, handed it to him, and said, "Thank you, I am Liu Wentian, the head catcher of the Yamen of the Right Street of Chang'an, and I have something important to see your lord!"
The man glanced at the waist card and hurried into the door to report. Hua Ping was dumbfounded, and asked quietly: "Su Zhuo, why do you have the waist card of the envoy of the Yamen on the right street of Chang'an?"
Su Zhuo smiled mysteriously and said, "Do you remember that when we investigated the Tang Shi murder case in Chang'an, Liu Wentian gave me his waist card in order to facilitate my investigation." On the day he caught the murderer, he was so busy asking for merit that he forgot about it!"
Hua Ping was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized, it turned out that Su Zhuo had always kept this waist card, and he knew that he would definitely use it in the future. He couldn't help but praise heartily in his heart: "It's really scheming!"
After a short time, the guard went out and asked, "Your Excellency, please!" and opened the door for the two of them.
