Lin Fanghe said: "In this way, when this golden housekeeper comes back, let him go to the yamen to record a confession." Because there is something about the deceased Song Qingyang, we also want to do a deep understanding of ......"

Long Zaitian nodded: "Okay." ”

Lin Fanghe and Tang Yu looked at each other, exchanged glances, and got up to say goodbye: "Then I won't bother." ”

Long Zaitian said: "You two might as well sit for a while, if the yamen is not busy with business, you can eat here and then leave without delay." I have my daughter Hong, bamboo leaf green, and home-brewed rice wine that I have been cellaring for many years, and it just so happened that I hit a wild hare yesterday, so I asked the kitchen to make a fragrant red stewed rabbit meat!"

"The old gentleman was gracious. When I visited for the first time, I didn't dare to bother. Lin Fanghe gave up. After a moment of politeness, they said goodbye to their master and went out.

The two got on their horses at the door, drove all the way, and crossed the bluestone bridge in a blink of an eye.

After walking for a while, he slowed down the reins and let the horse slow down. Tang Yu glanced at Lin Fanghe and asked, "My lord, what do you think of this trip?"

Lin Fanghe sighed and said: "This dragon is in the field, the city is very deep, the mouth is cautious, although the speech is like a river, but always pay attention, everywhere fortified. Although in the end, it seemed intentional and unintentional, revealing the information of Jin Yuefu and Song Qingyang to us, everything was still like ten miles of fog, confused and chaotic......"

Tang Yu caught up with two steps and said, "There is one thing that my subordinates feel quite strange, the infarction is in the throat, and they don't vomit or feel unhappy. I wonder if it can help us?"

"Don't worry, you can tell me. ”

"Didn't I go to the backyard to make it convenient for you two to talk, and ended up going the wrong way. Tang Yu was on the horse, so he told him about going to the toilet in the back garden of the Dragon Mansion, straying into the small courtyard, and meeting the deaf and dumb old woman in front of the wooden fence. "I asked the dragon dart master, and he said that she was a crazy woman, and she was crazy, so he locked her up. But I don't look at that man's eyes like ......."

"Well, could there be such a thing?" Lin Fanghe was surprised.

Tang Yu frowned as he spoke: "Why is that woman so strange when she looks at me? Besides, why was her tongue cut off, and who cut it off?"

"What do you think about this? ”

Tang Yu thought for a long time, and finally shook his head again and again: "I can't tell." Anyway, it's like we've met her before, we know each other, but it's not exactly like that......"

Lin Fanghe smiled dumbly: "Our little detective, are you on an errand in the public business, and you have been handling cases for a long time, and you have learned to be suspicious? The woman who had her tongue cut off is certainly suspicious, but maybe there is something else strange and has nothing to do with this case?"

"I don't understand. Tang Yu scratched his head.

After speaking, he grabbed the reins of the horse and turned his head: "My lord, when will we enter Zhangshan." ”

Lin Fanghe didn't speak, thought about it again and again, and asked: "Tang Yu, tell me, will we get the expected harvest when we enter Zhangshan this time?"

"Then you can only find the butcher named Xiong Yaohua first, understand it, and then talk about other things. ”

"But suddenly I had a bad feeling. Lin Fanghe nodded slightly, and said, "Since everyone knows that the treasure is in Zhangshan, they have been tossed repeatedly over the years, and they can't wait to dig three feet into the ground." Then why ignore such an important figure as Xiong Yaohua?"

Tang Yu couldn't answer for a while: "Maybe others don't know him." ”

"Absolutely impossible. As long as people are slightly familiar with this kind of family relationship, it is easy to follow the line of Xiong Dajing and find him, a distant nephew. In the face of such a great treasure, is it possible for him to be safe?"

"What do you think, sir. ”

"There are only two possibilities. Lin Fanghe sat firmly in the saddle, nodded and said, "First, Xiong Yaohua is dull by nature and cannot be taught, so Xiong Dajing didn't tell him this secret at all. Another is that this person may seem simple, but in fact he may have a dual identity that we don't know......"

Tang Yu was taken aback: "Dual identity? He is a farmer in the countryside, burying his head in farming, going out to kill pigs, what other identities can he have." ”

"The human heart is unpredictable. ”

Lin Fanghe said eloquently: "You must know that it is tens of thousands of taels of gold, millions of taels of silver, if you put it here, I am afraid that even half of Chuzhou City will be bought." How many thrilling dramas have been waged around these treasures over the decades? No matter what happens, it's not unusual......"

Tang Yu realized: "In that case, shall we still enter the mountain?"

Lin Fanghe looked up, his eyes were calm: "You must go." It's just, do you feel that there's anything wrong with this?"

"No, no. ”

"There must be, but we don't know yet. ”

The two rode across the long street and returned to the Chuzhou Post House. Entering the office of the West Bureau, Lin Fanghe sat in front of the bookcase, dragged the inkstone, melted the ink, carried the sheep's hair, walked the pen and drafted a submission, and reported the recent encounters and handling of the situation in Zhangshan and Chuzhou. I saw that he didn't add any points, and wrote it in one go, and then used his official seal on the submission and put it in an envelope.

Seeing this, Tang Yu asked, "My lord, is this an official document written by you to your boss?"

Lin Fanghe nodded: "Routine, official articles, but it can't be written if you don't write it." Didn't you see that the emperor began to get anxious and sent Wuwei General Yin Liufang and them to visit Chuzhou?"

"Oh, it turns out that those people who came yesterday turned out to be the generals in the imperial court. Tang Yu suddenly realized.

Lin Fanghe lifted the envelope and instructed: "You will send this to the old store in Yuelai in the west of the city in a while, which seems to be a grocery store, but in fact the business is cold." It is a secret liaison office set up here by the Jinyi Guard in the capital. General Wu Wei and they rested there. Be careful with confidentiality, and don't just talk to others—"

"Yes. ”

Tang Yu took the envelope and was about to set off, when the post man suddenly walked into the house, gave a salute, and reported: "There is a person outside who wants to see this Tang official." ”

"See me?" Tang Yu was stunned for a moment and said, "I don't have any acquaintances here in Chuzhou?"

After thinking about it again, I was afraid that it was Qiu Baiyun from the Beijing Bookstore, so I glanced at Lin Fanghe and said, "I am on official business now, I have to do something, and I can't delay time!"

Lin Fanghe waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't worry, this is not an urgent official document, and it doesn't hurt to send it later." Since the old man is visiting, how can there be no reason not to see it? You can go out and have a look. ”

"Thank you so much, sir. ”

Tang Yu nodded in thanks, and followed the post guard out of the West Office Office and went to the outer courtyard. As he walked, he pondered, what was the matter with Qiu Baiyun that he actually came to the post house to find him? Since this guy helped the bookstore to compile the manuscript all day long, it was natural that he would deal with some literati, and if he invited himself to drink with those writers who were profound in Taoism and full of bullish spirit like he did last time, he would definitely refuse and resolutely refuse. Those talented and beautiful people can't afford to mess with anyone else, who else can they be, and they feel good about themselves!

I was thinking about it, and I came to the door of the inner hall. Before he could speak, he saw a stout man standing up from the table, about forty years old, dressed in cloth and with a palm-wide belt around his waist. Behind him is a large straw hat for shading the sun. The strong man glanced out, slammed the table, and said with a grin: "Little rabbit cub, okay, sure enough, you have mixed up, and you have actually become the tolerance of the government - really fight for your father's face!"
