Lu Zhong looked at everyone in front of him and said: "Mobilize all the Jinyi guards who can be mobilized to search for Zhang Wenxuan in the city. The focus is on the gambling dens around Ziwu Lane. Everyone must be quick. Zhang Wenxuan cannot be allowed to escape, nor can he be captured."

killed."

"As commanded."

The Jin Yiwei swarmed out, leaving only Wang Yi, Lu Zhong, and Lao Song.

Wang Yi was left behind by Lu Zhong, and they obviously wanted to ask more questions from Lao Song.

Lu Zhong turned his head and looked at Lao Song, "Let me ask you, where is Zhang Wenxuan's residence outside?"

Old Song was stunned, obviously not expecting Lu Zhong to ask this question.

When Lu Zhong saw that Lao Song was silent, he sneered: "Most of the Jin Yiwei have their own houses outside. Do you really think I don't know?"

"Just because I don't say it doesn't mean I don't know. I just turn a blind eye to your behavior. You have paid so much for Jin Yiwei, and I won't be too harsh on you. But now if you

If you don’t tell me, then I have reason to suspect that you and Zhang Wenxuan are in the same group."

Old Song remained indifferent and said nothing. Lu Zhong lost his patience and ordered directly: "Take us to Zhang Wenxuan's house outside!"

Old Song was startled by Lu Zhong's words, but Lu Zhong's words finally made Old Song nod and agreed to take them to Zhang Wenxuan's house outside.

Zhang Wenxuan's house outside is very close to Ziwu Lane, less than two alleys away.

Along the way, Wang Yi found that there were many wealthy families nearby, and red lanterns were hung in front of every house. It was not the first month, but the New Year atmosphere was still very strong.

Not far away, deep in the alley, a few wild dogs lay there, quietly watching Wang Yi and his group approaching. In the alley, adults and their children were playing, setting off firecrackers and building snowmen.

The heavy snow from the past few days has accumulated in the corner, which is the best place for children to play.

When the children and adults saw a group of Jin Yiwei coming here with great force, they immediately returned home and closed the door, not daring to make any sound.

Some people who join Jinyiwei are from good families, and many are from poor families. However, in Zhang Wenxuan's plans for Jinyiwei, it was always recorded that he came from a poor family and lived alone. Jinyiwei's salary has never been high, so Lu Zhong

It created a way for people in Jinyiwei to take on tasks and earn money by completing the tasks assigned by Lu Zhong.

Zhang Wenxuan never completed tasks in Jinyiwei to obtain money.

But looking at the other houses in this alley, the people living in this place are either rich or noble, the walls are gorgeously decorated, and the stone statues in front of the doors are solemn and solemn, which makes people intimidated.

The amount spent to buy a house in such a place is not a small amount, and the origin of the money is very suspicious. Lu Zhong suspects that the origin of Zhang Wenxuan's money is likely to be related to the person behind Zhao Qing

.

Outside Zhang Wenxuan's house, Wang Yi and Lu Zhong looked at each other and ordered the guards behind them to step forward and open the door. A smell of blood came out, and the moment the door opened, red blood stains all over the yard came into view for everyone.

"Everyone enter the yard and be careful not to damage the scene."

"yes,"

With each response, the Jin Yiwei people ran into the courtyard one after another, and soon someone came back to report the situation to Lu Zhong and Wang Yi.

"Sir, there are four corpses in the yard, two women and one man.

There was also an infant child, and everyone was killed with one knife, leaving no trace."

"frenzied!"

Wang Yi roared angrily, redness appeared on his face and the veins on his forehead stood out.

These people don't even spare children. They are really beasts and can be so cruel.

Lu Zhong was very calm about this matter. He was used to seeing these cruel incidents. He had been so kind and merciless in Jinyiwei for many years and died countless times.

Lu Zhong took a step forward and walked into the yard. Lu Zhong's pupils shrank. Four corpses were sitting opposite each other in the yard, standing in the yard with blood all over the ground. In front of the four people, there was a table of food.

There was still hot steam rising from the food.

Apparently, the family was murdered while they were eating.

Lu Zhong took out a handkerchief, covered his mouth and nose, looked at the four corpses, all of them were beyond recognition, and asked the Jin Yiwei beside him: "Is this Zhang Wenxuan?"

The Jin Yiwei who was cleaning up the scene beside him raised his hands and replied: "Sir, I can be sure that this is Zhang Wenxuan for the time being. There is an obvious birthmark on the left leg of Zhang Wenxuan's body. There is also an obvious birthmark on the left side of this body."

Lu Zhong nodded, "Are there any survivors in the yard?"

At this time, a guard in Jinyi came over and replied to Lu Zhong: "Reporting to your lord, judging from the clothes and daily utensils in the house, there are only four people in the yard, and there is not a single person left alive in the yard.

The dogs raised in the corner were all killed."

Lu Zhong was very experienced in this kind of thing and ordered: "Everyone, go investigate the surrounding residents and ask if anything has happened recently. In such a valuable yard, people should be discovered if they come from the alley."

"yes."

Wang Yi walked up and looked at Lu Zhong, "Master Lu, what did you see?"

Lu Zhong walked to the corpse, squatted down, and looked at the four corpses sitting on the ground. They were all killed with one knife. The force was very good. He must be an experienced knife user. He must have used the knife very quickly. Several people did not have time to do it.

If you show any resistance and sit at the dinner table, you will die immediately.

Lu Zhong can be sure that the person who took action should have a higher level of cultivation than the real life, otherwise it would be impossible to do it so neatly.

The person who can let the powerful man kill at will in Chang'an City must not be simple.

Even though Lu Zhong had been in Chang'an City for so many years, he still felt a little chilly on his back.

"He is a master."

Wang Yi nodded. Judging from the knife intent and the depth of the wound, this person must not be simple.

Just when Wang Yi was still thinking about asking Lu Zhong some questions, a guard in golden clothes walked out of the room in the distance and walked towards this side.

"The two adults have inquired with the people around them. This morning, when some of them were playing with their children on the street, a person did come over. However, the person described by everyone did not have any characteristics.

Because that person was covered in a cloak, he couldn't see his face clearly."

"Zhang Wenxuan has a good impression on the neighbors. The Gu family is very kind. Every time he comes here, he greets everyone with a smile and is very polite."

"There is also Zhang Wenxuan. Since it is the New Year, the neighbors said that Zhang Wenxuan has been in and out of this yard very frequently recently. Every time he comes back, he is sitting in a carriage. After getting off the carriage, he will be carried out of the carriage.

something less,

They said they were all very big boxes and it was difficult to see the specific contents inside."

Jin Yiwei's work efficiency is very fast. In just a short period of time, all the affairs of Zhang Wenxuan were investigated clearly. This kind of work efficiency may be the reason why Jin Yiwei has been able to rise in a short period of time after being dormant for many years.

After Lu Zhong inspected the body, he packed it up. Soon the body would be taken away by special personnel and taken outside for cremation.

At the place where the bodies were found, accompanied by bursts of green smoke, the three people disappeared from the world.

Very cruel and heartless.

"My lord, my lord!"

At this time, a guard in golden clothes ran out from the kitchen, holding a piece of silver in his hand and shouting.

Wang Yi squinted his eyes and looked at the silver in the hand of the Jin Yiwei. He finally knew what was contained in the big boxes that Zhang Wenxuan drove the carriage from outside.

It’s all boxes and boxes of silver!

So with the previous confessions from the neighbors, the mystery of the box was finally solved. Zhang Wenxuan got a lot of money. The origin of the money is not yet known, but Wang Yi can be sure that his money was definitely not obtained through legitimate means.

Come.

Lu Zhong stood up, took the silver from the Jin Yiwei's hand, and observed,

The silver was of good quality, which is rare in the world. Lu Zhong weighed the silver with his hand and found that it was very heavy. Such silver could not have come from a small person like Zhang Wenxuan. There are only two places where such silver can be found.

, one is the major banks, they have the ability and template to produce this kind of silver. The other place is the Treasury of the Ministry of Revenue. Only these two places in the entire Ming Dynasty have this kind of silver.

Turning over the silver, Lu Zhong lowered his head and looked at the signature at the bottom of the silver. It said Huitong Bank.

Lu Zhong asked Jin Yiwei on the side: "Whose property is this Huitong Bank?"

The Jin Yiwei on the side thought for a while and replied: "Sir, Huitong Bank is a qualified bank established recently. The specific boss is not clear, but we have carefully paid attention to the servants hired by the bank. They are all internal servants and supervisors.

A unique martial arts secret book."

Lu Zhong squinted his eyes, turned his hand, and kept the money in his sleeve.

Now it seems that the backstage of these Huitong Banks is very likely to be the eunuchs. But Jinyiwei and eunuchs, unlike Jinyiwei and Qintianjian, are incompatible. Lu Zhong's attitude towards the eunuchs under the leadership of Gao Lishi has always been

They treat each other with respect and complement each other, but now it seems that the Internal Affairs Supervisor is not prepared to continue this situation.

Wang Yi heard the implication of the subordinate's words, which was whether Jin Yiwei should continue to search for Huitong Bank.

Going there means that the Jin Yiwei and the Internal Affairs Supervisor have completely turned against each other, and it will most likely lead to the Internal Affairs Supervisor and the Qintian Supervisor joining forces to fight against the Jin Yiwei.

If you don't go, then the investigation into the Dexin Hall matter won't be possible. If the emperor asks about it, Mr. Lu will be unable to do business, which will also be a bad situation.

Wang Yi can't imagine Lu Zhong's mood now. Ji Gang is not here, Lu Zhong is the head of Jinyiwei, and the issues that head of the family must consider are very comprehensive.

Wang Yi believed that if Lu Zhong was an ordinary Jin Yiwei, Lu Zhong would lead a large number of Jin Yiwei to Huitong Bank without hesitation.
