Li Chongyuan let out an "oh", and Wu Zhenyu said, "How do you know that he must be a descendant of the merchant family? Isn't it a family member in the old man's mansion? Or a guy in the shop?"

Hao Li smiled: "You don't understand this, as the saying goes, there are seven officials in front of the prime minister." This is just a slave in the current official family, but these people are the most proficient. Relying on the official position of the master behind him to make a fortune outside, such a person is a person who loses money, who dares to come to the door to ask for debts?

Not to mention forcing him to cut off his fingers! So he is not a slave of the official family, but only a subordinate of the merchant, and the reason why I say that he is not a shopkeeper. It also makes sense. You see that he gambled to the point of cutting off his fingers, it can be seen that the gambling addiction is not small, this is not a hidden person, you say, if you are a shop owner,

Can you rest assured that such a gambler will take care of your money and goods for you? No, if a person like him loses in a hurry, he will not be allowed to roll up your shop? Therefore, he can only be the lowest subordinate, working and running errands every day, and he cannot be exposed to money and food. ”

After saying this, Li Chongyuan and Wu Zhenyu were really impressed. Guo Ziyi listened with relish on the sidelines, as if listening to a story.

He looked at Hao Li with admiration and envy and said, "Sister Hao Li, you know so many things, where did you learn them?" Hao Li scratched his little nose and said with a smile: "When you grow up and see more people and things, you will naturally understand!"

Hao Li said: "Knowing who he is and what industry he comes from, the scope of our search is much smaller." What month did you jump off the cliff?"

Li Chongyuan said: "I can't remember that day, it was September 15. ”

Hao Li smiled: "That's it, we just said that Lan Wutong is probably not dead." At least not dead at the time. If Lan Wutong hadn't died at that time, she must have gone out of the mountain, maybe by herself, maybe she was washed out by the current, because if she hadn't gone out of the mountain, either she would have looked for you.

Either you've been wandering in the mountains for so long, you're bound to find her, so she shouldn't have been in the valley at the time. In addition, I estimate that she must have been in a very bad situation at the time, and she had serious injuries on her body, so it was impossible to climb the mountain out, and it was the right choice to go along the river, and she would not get lost if she walked along the river.

Lan Wutong is a veteran of the rivers and lakes, and he must understand this truth. So. What is the most likely thing that the blue sycamore will come across when it comes out along the river? What kind of boat has the most near the Black Tiger Peak in Shuzhou?

I don't think it's a fishing boat, because when the river first gushes out of the valley, the water is the most urgent, and the fish in this kind of place flow downstream along the river, and there is no way to catch fish at all, so experienced fishermen will only spread their nets to fish in places where the water is gentle, and of course the places with fierce mountains and bad water will not be flower boats for playing.

Who will go there! The ships that can pass through there may be cargo ships! The next question is what kind of cargo ships will pass through there? Let's see what Shuzhou produces in September and October?

There are only two things that are produced in this season - raw silk and well salt! That is, if the blue sycamore is rescued from the valley. This ship is either trafficking in raw silk or well salt!

The next step is very simple, the shopkeeper said, the man spoke with a Beijing accent, from which it is inferred that he is either from the capital or stays in the capital all the year round, and this time he appeared in Henan Mansion just passing by, if it is a person who trafficks well salt. It is unlikely that he has a capital accent, because there are some outlaws in the salt shop.

The imperial court was afraid that it would enter the capital to do bad things, so it was strictly forbidden to send all kinds of salt directly to the capital, and they were all gathered along the Luoshui to the major wharves near Luoyang. Then the salt stores in the capital were not allowed to buy salt privately, and they had to go to Luoyang to buy salt, and they could only transport it back to the capital with the salt purchase. The rest is easy to say,

The boat that rescued her was not trafficking in well salt but in raw silk, and the owner of this trafficking in raw silk has a silk village in the capital, if I am not mistaken, the whole thing is like this, the owner of a silk village in the capital went to Shuzhou to buy raw silk, and the river transport route from Beijing to Shuzhou should go like this:

Get on the boat from the Luoshui Wharf in the capital and then turn to the Huai River, from the Huai River to the south through the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, and then enter the Shu River, then come to Shuzhou, the river below the Black Tiger Peak you said should be a tributary of the Shu River. When he was sailing in the river, he rescued the blue sycamore, and the blue sycamore lived there for a while.

As for the knife seller, he is the descendant of the silk village, and it is inevitable that he will run errands for the master's family when purchasing goods, and then for some reason, the double knife of the blue sycamore fell into his hands, and the silk village naturally often goes to Shuzhou to purchase raw silk, so the knife seller took advantage of the opportunity for the cargo ship to sail through Henan Mansion in the Huai River to find an opportunity to quietly get off the ship.

Sold this pair of twin knives. You see, this place is only a few dozen miles away from Henan Mansion, why didn't he go to Henan Mansion to sell it for a good price, but he sold it in this town? That is because there is a wharf five miles south of this place, and the cargo ship must have stopped there at that time, and the knife seller hurriedly got off the boat and came to the town to sell the knife. ”

Li Chongyuan gasped, admiring in his heart, there were only so few clues, and Hao Li analyzed so many clues, and further locked the clues in such a small range. It is really worthy of the name of "God Catches Hao Siniang"!

Hao Li smiled proudly: "Hehehe, do you think it's so easy to be a head catcher, being a head catcher must not only be able to fight but also be able to investigate cases, so as not to let go of a bad person and not wronged a good person." As he spoke, he thought of Wang Hongxin, who had now broken up, and his mood darkened.

Li Chongyuan naturally couldn't understand her mood, and now his mind was full of blue sycamores, and he said eagerly: "That cargo ship must often dock at the dock to rest, let's go to the dock and ask?"

Hao Li said: "It's only May, it's not the season to buy raw silk, or to find the cargo ship, and the ship's owner is not a person from the silk village, you can't ask anything, this matter is not in a hurry, the capital has the ability to go to Shuzhou to purchase raw silk silk Zhuang, but there are only three or five, we will go back to the capital to inquire one by one." ”

Where is Li Chongyuan willing to listen? Pulling Hao Li and the others to the dock to ask, when they come to the dock, where is there a boat at this time? Li Chongyuan hung his head and remained silent. Hao Li saw that there was an inn nearby, and thought that this inn was next to the pier, if he could live here for a few days, and wait for a boat to come and ask him, he went to the inn to ask, and the innkeeper smiled: "This young lady is really sorry!"

Now the inn has been occupied. Hao Liqi said: "Hey, now is not the busy time for shipping, how can someone charter the inn?" The boss said: "Miss doesn't know, I heard the uncle of the inn say that the head of the Kongtong faction is going to get married, and the heroes on the rivers and lakes,

There are also giant businessmen who have ordered a large number of Shu brocade to go to the wedding room to give gifts and decorate the wedding room, and there are a lot of silk and satin to make new clothes, etc., anyway, there are many treasures on the ship! Entrust them to send the ship to Luoyang, in order to prevent them from the dart bureau to escort, it is expected that they will come here in seven days to settle down and play the top, so the pathfinder will first wrap up here, so as not to have nowhere to rest when you get it.
