Chapter 23 The fog is heavy
The rice paper used in He Changyang's mansion was provided by Yipinxuan, a bookstore in the city. When Chen Long and the other four investigated this, they saw Yipinxuan closing the door when they went there. Chen Long realized something was wrong and broke into the door and found that thirteen people from Yipinxuan were brutally killed.
"Thirteen people were brutally killed? All died?"
Ni Canghai frowned.
"No, it should be said that there is still one person who is not dead, but is missing."
"who?"
"Yang He, the owner of Yipinxuan's bookstore." Chou Niu replied.
"After not finding the owner of the bookstore, Yinhu has used the investigation department to investigate the whereabouts of this person, but the supervisor has not found Yang He's trace yet."
"What is the origin of this Yang He?"
Ni Canghai asked a question.
"Yang He is from Muyang Mansion. He is 43 years old this year. He came to the capital half a year ago to start the bookstore business. However, before that, his family was in the cloth business in Muyang Mansion. Later, his family was ruined and his wife and children were separated. He himself did a repair work. Strangely, two months ago, he left Muyang Mansion and came to the capital. He got money from somewhere and bought this bookstore and started the bookstore business."
"That is to say, the paper used in He Changyang's mansion did not come from this Yipinxuan before?"
Ni Canghai caught another point in Chou Niu's words.
"Yes, the governor, the rice paper used in the mansion of He Shangshu was previously from another bookstore, but for some reason, the rice paper from Yipinxuan was later used, saying that the quality was better."
"Supermaster, Lord Commander..."
Just as the ugly cow reported, another guard came over.
"What's the matter?"
The ugly cow turned around.
"I just found Yang He's hidden house in the cross-length alley on Fengyuan Street."
"Huh, the person was found?"
The ugly cow's eyes lit up and his voice became louder unconsciously.
"No, Lord Duwei, when we found it, we didn't find Yang He himself, but his concubine in the house was already dead."
"Dead?"
I thought I had found Yang He's man, but I didn't expect that I could get the news from the guard that his concubine was dead.
"Specific situation?"
The ugly cow quickly came to his senses.
"Master Duwei, when we found out, we checked the body according to the coroner. We died two hours ago. We must have been pinched behind us and broke our neck..."
According to what the guard said, Yang He himself disappeared, but his concubine who was left in the house was pinched off her neck from behind. Judging from the traces, the murderer easily pinched Yang He's concubine's trachea with only two fingers, which was not something ordinary people could do.
As a Investigation Department, as long as the clues left by the murderer were found, after more than half a day, he could find the secret house of the missing Yang He.
Why did Yang He, a lowly man who was a poor family and was doing a repair work, get such a large amount of money and start the bookstore business?
"August, investigate this matter carefully and do not make any mistakes. Go."
Ni Canghai waved his sleeves and asked Chou Niu and others to retreat.
This matter is full of fog and it will not be solved easily in a short while. Ni Canghai looked at the back of the ugly bull's retreat and suddenly smiled bitterly.
Alas, he still hasn't completely changed his mindset. He is no longer the same as before. There is no need to be so afraid of or even afraid of the name of Jinfeng Yulu Pavilion.
Regardless of whether the other party intervenes in the capital now or does something else, no matter what the other party has, just find out and cut off the other party's hand.
Compared to the forces of the Golden Wind and Yulu Pavilion entering the capital, he valued the major change three months later and had to prepare for it.
However, this matter cannot be left to Chou Niu and others.
He moved his heart, went back to the house to change his official uniform, and wore another casual uniform, then lit his feet lightly, like a banished immortal who was about to leave by the wind, without any force, silently not alarming anyone in the mansion, and crossed a distance of hundreds of feet and left the wall of the mansion.
This kind of cultivation that can fly out of the air without leveraging the power is considered by many martial arts masters to be able to achieve. However, Ni Canghai still feels that he has enough energy. For his cultivation level, the wind blowing in the air is no longer a resistance to flying, but becomes a help between his movements and leaps. As long as his true energy is not exhausted, it is no problem to ride the wind for thousands of miles without landing.
This kind of flying ability is a state that martial arts masters cannot imagine today. Only by stepping into the Wulu Real Person and being able to fully realize such a wonderful state.
Although chaos in the world is gradually arising, it is thanks to the policy of "governing inaction" and "reducing taxes to promote business" during the Yingzong period, especially in Daxing City, whether it is day or night, in Fangshi District, there are crowds of people and bustling. Unlike ordinary places, Fangshi District no longer enforces curfews. When it comes to night, the prosperous Fangshi market during the day turns into a night market. Its "the night market has thousands of lights illuminated the blue clouds, and the tall buildings are red sleeves. The water gate is rushing towards the evening tea merchants, and the bridge city has all night wine tourists" refers to the prosperity of this night market.
The people and tourists in the capital were enjoying themselves freely, and there were endless people and tourists in the capital. On the Chu River, there were countless teahouses, tramps and brothels. The pleasure boats on the river were brightly lit, the dancers smiled cleverly, the flowers were competing for beauty, and the waves were waving their hands and feet, making people cheer.
Ni Canghai walked on the street in casual clothes, looking around curiously.
In his previous life, he practiced martial arts in the sect. Later, the sect was destroyed and entered the world, and he just struggled to survive. He often walked in the wild. He rarely entered the city, so there was no need to mention coming to Daxing City to experience it.
There are 108fangs in Daxing City, the capital. There were originally so many fang areas, but in fact there were many vacant places. Later, a few years after Emperor Yingzong's reign, the 108fangs were all filled with people in the city, and Daxing City entered the period when the curfew in the market was lifted.
Walking on such a prosperous street, Ni Canghai couldn't help but be unimaginable. If I had lived in Daxing City, I was afraid I would never have imagined the scene of starving people everywhere outside?
The princes and nobles could eat forty-eight plates of wine and food at a time, and they would throw them away after a few bites. However, in various parts of Da Chu, there were many hungry people who could not even eat a bite of porridge, which shows the suffering of the people.
Along the way, I saw countless pearls and jades, and the new seafood and game magic weapons in the world were all gathered here. The food shops were crowded with people, and there were also restaurants and musical halls, singing and dancing, fighting cocks and dogs, and fighting passes. If you want to play all these places, you may not be able to play them all last month.
