Chapter 197 I have to thank the second master for this
Li Chi and the others waited on the roadside for a whole morning but no convoy came. The frontier was still fighting hard. At this time, the caravan shouldn't have walked around.
Especially when the Chinese New Year is about to be celebrated, it is unreasonable for people from the Liu family in Xinzhou to urge Liu Yingyuan's father Liu Shan to lead the caravan out of the city.
Li Chi and the others did not wait for the caravan to come. After discussing for a while, they all thought that it might be that Liu Shanshen rejected Liu Wenju, but no matter what, Xinzhou City must go there.
After driving two big cars, the four of them left for about an hour and arrived outside the gate of Xinzhou City. Li Chi took out the waist sign from Prince Yu's mansion, and the arrogant attitude of the gatekeeper immediately changed.
Judging from Li Chi and the others' dusty appearance, they didn't look like people from the royal palace. However, the number of waist cards in the royal palace was really true, even if they were suspicious, they would not dare to provoke them.
Who dares to bet on this kind of thing?
What can I do if I bet right? If I bet right, I just catch a few people. If I lose the bet, they will be in great trouble.
Li Chi and the leading group leader asked: "Do you know where the Liu family in Xinzhou are?"
The group leader quickly pointed in a direction and said, "Walk along the street and walk left after two intersections. Not far away is the Liu family's mansion."
Li Chi asked again: "Is there a caravan from the Liu family leaving the city today?"
The delegation replied: "No, there is a war in the north, so how can a caravan dare to go into business at this time? It's still a Chinese New Year. Wouldn't it be a big trouble?"
Li Chi nodded, not thanking him.
Because thanks, it does not fit the arrogant temperament of the people in the royal palace.
What temperament should the people in the royal palace have? Perhaps it is not enough to be a slutty man like Xiahou Zhuo. If you really want to talk about the people in the royal palace, it depends on the servants in the royal palace, so that it can be fully reflected.
Li Chi felt that what he showed at this time had a little bit of charm.
Yu Jiuling said as he walked: "We can't just go to the Liu family. We have to think of a way to inquire about the news first."
Li Chi said: "It's okay if you haven't left the city. No matter how brave Liu Wenju is, she shouldn't dare to kill people at her own home. Find a place to live first, and I'll buy some outfits later."
They didn't go to the inn, so they didn't have to spend money to stay in the inn.
They went directly to the Guanyi Office. First, it is basically impossible for ordinary people to live in the Guanyi Office, second, there is no money.
Relying on the waist sign of Prince Yu's mansion, the people from Guanyi quickly welcomed them in. Li Chi made up a lie and said that he encountered a fight between the bandits and was dirty all over. So he first came to Guanyi to stay in, take a shower and change his clothes, and then check who is so brave in Xinzhou City that even the people from Prince Yu's mansion dared to rob.
The people from the official post were going to get bad when they heard about this. They were so quick-witted that they were entertaining Li Chi and the others while sending people to Xinzhou Prefecture to report the news.
The people from Prince Yu’s mansion were robbed outside Xinzhou City. If the people from Xinzhou Prefecture pretended to be unaware of it, God knew what trouble would be in the future.
When serving big people, the people below must always adhere to an attitude, that is, no matter how small things are, they cannot be considered small things.
It is better to serve the wrong one than not to serve.
Li Chi gave the people from Guanyi some money, measured their height and shoulder width, and asked them to buy some new clothes.
After taking a shower, the people from Guanyi had already helped to buy the clothes back. The tailor shops in this city basically do not sell ready-made clothes, and they all look like they are hanging. They can't make clothes for three or five days. However, Li Chi and the others have different identities, so they must be able to buy them.
As soon as Li Chi changed his clothes, the adults from Xinzhou Prefecture arrived. The specifications were very high. The master of Xinzhou Prefecture, the chief of the prefecture, and the chief of the chief of the chief of the prefecture all came, bringing many people.
Xinzhou is a small prefecture, the fifth rank of the prefecture, and the sixth rank of the prefecture. Although the official position is not particularly high, he is at least the chief official of a state. However, when this adult saw Li Chi, he immediately smiled. The prefecture Cui Hansheng was born in a good background, and the Cui family in Xinling was also very famous. During the Zhou Dynasty, the Cui family had power in the court and the people for a long time.
However, after arriving in the Great Chu, the Cui family seemed a little declining, not to mention that Cui Hansheng was not from the Xinling family, so he did not dare to neglect his attitude towards the royal palace at all.
Li Chi bowed and leaned over and said, "I have met Lord Fuzhi."
Cui Hansheng quickly reached out to help Li Chi, and at this time Li Chi had already figured out how big a flag to pull.
Cui Hansheng tentatively asked Li Chi what position he was in the royal palace, and then tentatively asked them what they were doing in Xinzhou.
Li Chi said: "My surname is Li, my name is Li Chi, and I am the sworn brother of Xiahou Zhuo."
Before he could finish his words, Cui Hansheng's face changed slightly and his attitude became more humble.
"It turned out to be General Xiahou's sworn brother!"
Cui Hansheng quickly clasped his fists and said, "I'm not respectful."
Li Chi said: "Do you know that Xiahou led his army to fight the enemy at Daizhou Pass?"
Cui Hansheng hurriedly said, "I know, I have received the news two days ago."
Li Chi said: "The prince just learned the news and was very anxious. While dispatching a large army to rush to Daizhou Pass, he sent us to rush there to protect Xiahou in advance. However, when he walked outside Xinzhou City, he was ambushed by a group of people. If we hadn't had some martial arts, we would have been accused of the evil man."
He slowed down for a while and continued, "A few of the ill-fated men were killed by us, and the bodies were thrown into the forest about thirty miles outside the city and covered with dead grass. The lord can now send someone to pull the bodies back, maybe they can speculate based on their clothes..."
Yu Jiuling pulled Li Chi for a moment, lowered his voice in Li Chi's ear and said, "Where are there any clothes left? I've taken them off."
"ah......"
Li Chi pretended to be enlightened and smiled and said, "Look at my memory, we brought the thief's clothes back, and they still have something on them."
Li Chi turned around and looked at Yu Jiuling, who quickly handed the clothes and things they carried to the people in the government.
Li Chi said: "Although we killed some thieves, we were stolen a lot of things by the thieves, including some items that the prince asked us to General Xiahou, and a box of silver..."
Hearing this, Cui Hansheng's head was about to explode.
If Li Chi said it was true, then if the case was not handled well, Prince Yu would be angry and he would not do anything about Xinzhou Prefecture. In the best way, it would be a rolling bed, and when it was broken, it might be sent to be exiled to be exiled or something.
"check!"
Cui Hansheng immediately stated: "We must investigate strictly. Mr. Li, don't worry. I promise you here that I will give you an explanation and an explanation to the royal palace!"
Li Chi nodded, pretended to think for a while, and said, "I vaguely seemed to hear from those of them that the caravans of the Liu family in Xinzhou were originally going to rob. They mistakenly thought we were, so they started fighting. Why? The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and the caravans of the Liu family are still running out?"
Cui Hansheng felt nervous.
Liu Wenju has a close relationship with him on weekdays and has given him many gifts. If this case involves Liu Wenju, it may not be a good thing.
Based on his understanding of Liu Wenju, what good things can that guy do?
Liu Wenju's family declined, and she made a comeback with the support of a relative in Jizhou City. This process of making a comeback is closely related to Cui Hansheng.
Shortly after Liu Wenju returned from Jizhou, he gave more than half of the money Liu Shanshen gave him, and gave all his filial piety to Cui Hansheng, and got a benefit from Cui Hansheng... This benefit was that he was allowed to open a casino in the city.
In the border town of Xinzhou, there were caravans and merchants from the grassland, so the casino business was naturally good. After two or three years of accumulation, Liu Wenju opened three casinos and two brothels in Xinzhou City, built another restaurant, and almost monopolized the business of Xinzhou City and the grassland people.
Within a few years, Liu Wenju's wealth quickly expanded, and he also became extremely expanding.
When Cui Hansheng heard Li Chi talk about the words Liu's family in Xinzhou, he hurriedly said: "This is indeed a clue."
He looked back at the Xinzhou Chief Administrator Qi Dian and said, "Keep the evidence brought back by Mr. Li, carefully check it out, and immediately send someone to transport the bodies of those evil people back."
Qi Dian approached the clothes and looked at them, and there was a smell that hit his nose.
Yu Jiuling said next to him: "There should be no clues on the body."
Qi Dian said: "Don't worry, I have been investigating the case for many years, and no clues will escape my eyes. The body is also evidence, so something will definitely be discovered."
Yu Jiuling thought about those who were almost stripped of him and sighed slightly, "Okay, then I'll be the one who will arrest you."
Cui Hansheng exchanged a few more greetings, and then invited Li Chi to the prefecture government office for dinner. Li Chi pretended to be very unhappy and refused, saying that he was too tired and would go to visit him tomorrow.
Cui Hansheng saw that he was so angry that he was so angry that he thought about it. The people from the royal family came out and were robbed. It would be strange if they were not angry about this.
Back in the carriage, Cui Hansheng looked at Qi Dian and said, "Don't rush to leave the city. You go to the Liu family first and ask what's going on with Liu Wenju!"
Qi Dian said: "No, Liu Wenju's caravan, can it still be Liu Wenju's own people robbed?"
Cui Hansheng said: "If you ask, go and ask!"
Qi Dian nodded immediately: "Yes, yes, yes, brother-in-law, I will do whatever you want me to do."
Cui Hansheng sighed and thought to himself that if this kind of waste hadn't been relied on his administration in Xinzhou Prefecture, he would have become the head of the prison?
He was silent for a while and said, "This Liu Wenju is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Don't be too polite after you go. Just tell me the big trouble. Let him know everything and say it out quickly."
Qi Dian said: "Okay, I will ask him directly if you did it, if you sent someone to rob your own caravan. My god, he can do such a crazy thing!"
Cui Hansheng glanced at Qi Dian and sighed heavily again.
Official post.
Li Chi looked at Yicheng and smiled, which scared the others.
Li Chi asked: "Is the Liu family in Xinzhou very famous?"
The official secretary quickly replied: "I am the largest businessman in this city. Most of the casinos and brothels in the city belong to the Liu family."
Li Chi said oh, thinking that how could all the people who do casino brothel business be clean?
After asking some questions about the Liu family, he turned around and returned to the house and said with a smile: "Now let's divide the work. The biggest business of the Liu family is brothel and casino. We divide into two teams, one team goes to brothel and the other team goes to the casino, and first find out the details."
The long-browed Taoist said with a hint: "I'm not good at gambling."
Mr. Yan squinted his eyes and looked at him.
The long-browed Taoist quickly explained: "I'm serious."
Yu Jiuling said: "In this way, Li Chi and I will go to the casino to see the situation, and the Taoist priest and the gentleman will go to the brothel."
Yan Qingyi was stunned: "Why do I want to go too?"
The long-browed Taoist looked at him and his eyes flashed pitifully. In desperation, Yan Qing said, "It's okay to go... I don't have money."
Li Chi said: "We have two big boxes in our car..."
Yu Jiuling said: "After this matter comes down to the second in command of Yanshan Camp, I have to thank the donation of prostitution and funds."
The long-browed Taoist looked slightly red, and Mr. Yan turned to look out the window.
