Three-pot porridge and naan

Chapter 59 Jinjiang Literature City [Bone Beach 6] Chapter 59...

Wan Dong shook his head slightly: "Master Mo, please don't investigate this case with much fanfare. If the people who were with Tu Yu killed Tu Yu, then these people will be greedy for killing people for profit, and they will definitely be sent back to the feudal town to steal gold..."

Mo Li nodded when he heard this, and if it was true that the people with Tu Yu killed Tu Yu, then he might return to the feudal town to collect gold.

Mo Li said again: "There are several possibilities for this case. There are three people in Tu Yu's party, except for Tu Yu, the other two are A and B. One possibility is that A, B and Tu Yu all participated in the theft of gold. B killed Tu Yu."

"Or one of A and B killed Tu Yu, and the other didn't know about it, and his life would be in danger."

Wandong: "Another possibility is that Tu Yu and one of them, A, discovered the gold, and A killed Tu Yu, while B knew neither the gold nor Tu Yu's murder."

At that time, it was only confirmed that two people entered the Buddha Cave, but it cannot be proved that all three of them fell into the cave.

Mo Li: "I'll ask someone to look up the golden route near the outskirts of Shangjing..."

There are only a few places nearby that can pawn gold, except for the serious pawnshops outside the city, and those secret pawnshops.

Wandong drew the appearance of the three of them. He is not a serious painter, so he can only draw a half or seven portrait. If it is Brother Qiu, he can probably draw a ten percent similarity.

After Mo Li got the portrait, he asked people to find out the whereabouts of the gold.

*

Wandong wanted to go to the feudal town again.

Yan Twelve: "I'll accompany you."

Wandong smiled: "That's unnecessary, these days are enough trouble."

It's not that Yan Twelve is troublesome, but he has felt that Yan Twelve has been troublesome for a long time.

Yan Twelve raised his eyebrows slightly, it was really rare to hear Wandong say such a thing.

Yan Twelve pursed the corners of his lips, not knowing what to say, but his cheeks were slightly hot. Fortunately, his hair covered his face, so he wouldn't notice anything at first glance.

Wandong went back to Xuejiazhuang to pack his bags. Luo Shi saw that he was about to go out as soon as he got home, and his face was obviously a little unhappy, but Luo Shi couldn't bear to scold him, so he went to the kitchen to pack the dry food and ran out.

"Remember to eat the jerky on the road. If you don't want to eat it, it will be broken on the road. Remember to plug the water bag tightly and don't spill all the water."

Luo Shi is reminding Wandong of what Xiaobai has done.

"..." Wandong nodded with a blushing face, he is not Xiaobai, how could he do such stupid things, hey.

Wan Dong and Yan Twelve went to Zhoulang Ferry, and took a boat from the ferry to the feudal town, and it took a few hours to reach the feudal town down the river.

*

It was still dark when Wandong and Yan Twelve were drinking a large bowl of tea at the ferry in the feudal town, and the two of them just had this tea and ate a large bag of food that Luo Shi had prepared for them.

It has long been discovered that small things in the feudal town are quite expensive.

After the two had finished eating, Yan Twelve went to book an inn, and Wan Dong went to the government office to find Master Bo.

When Wandong was going, Mr. Bo happened to come out from the government office.

Goodbye Wandong, Mr. Bo knew what happened.

Lord Bo invites Wandong to sit down.

The entourage went to a nearby restaurant to order a table of dishes, and cooked fruit wine in the courtyard.

After the food was set, the entourage went out.

At this time Master Bo asked what happened to Wandong.

"When I was staying at the Fanzhen Inn, I knew a lantern merchant named Tu Yu. On August [-]th, I received a report. He died on the Taohuadi. In the early morning, after noon, he was found dead."

Mr. Bo was taken aback when he heard this, but soon his brows were frowned, and a bad premonition arose spontaneously.

Wan Dong continued: "This man hurriedly left with his fellow countrymen after Mr. Bo finished controlling the flood, but he had an appointment with a friend in the feudal town to wait for his friend to go to Shangjing at the inn. Tu Yu's friend has arrived in the feudal town, I think my lord will help find this person first, this person knows the details of Tu Yu's fellow villager."

"Are these people related to the matter of the Buddha Cave?" Master Bo asked quickly, his voice deep.

Wandong nodded slowly.

He heard a sound of suction, Master Bo's complexion was deeper than before, and even the lines of his face were slightly tense.

I have to say that these things will make Lord Bo, the parent official of the feudal town, sad for a long time.

He even dared to say that Mr. Bo hoped to kill all these people to calm the incident.

Master Bo didn't even care about the meal, so he changed his clothes and invited Mr. Gao to check all the inns in Fanzhen, the details of Luoyang natives who appeared in July and August.

The only thing Wandong can be sure of is that Tu Yu didn't lie when he struck up a conversation with him that day.

The name may be a cultural one, and the place of household registration may not be real, but it is easy to say that it is written in Luoyang on the fake household registration, who cares whether he is from Luoyang or not.

"Also look into the wild markets on the outskirts of the feudal town." Wandong suddenly thought of something, and mentioned it.

Although Yeichi Yedang is to avoid the government, he will also register his place of origin to keep a certificate, so as to guard against the government's strict investigation and crackdown.

After such a search, I found something.

At the end of July, Tu Yu and his party lived in the same inn as Wandong, and the three of them left the feudal town at the beginning of August.

On the ninth day of August, two people lived in a tavern in the outskirts of the city. The tavern owner had seen the household registrations of these two people, and it was written that they were from Luoyang.

Listening to the shopkeeper's description, one of them was Tu Yu.

The shopkeeper said: "The two told me to stay for two days and then leave. They spent a lot of money and gave three taels of silver a day. I thought that six taels of silver would not be profitable, so I let them stay. They went out at night." , sleep during the day, both nights.”

After listening, Wandong probably understood.

This also matched the previous speculation, and found that there were only Tu Yu and his other fellow villager in the Fodong Cave, and another fellow villager might have been dismissed.

After all, they still have three carriages of lanterns to be dragged to Shangjing.

Perhaps for the sake of convenience, Tu Yu discussed with another person, and asked the unaware fellow villager to go to Beijing first with a lantern.

In other words, the two of them entered the cave at least three times, and only the first time was by accident.

The tavern keeper seemed to recognize Mr. Gao, and tried to test Mr. Gao with winks, asking him to speak clearly if something serious happened.

Master Gao smiled and said, "It's nothing serious, it's just that a friend of Tu Yu's asked someone to find the government. It's nothing important, so go get busy."

The shopkeeper sweated a little. He thought that this was a wild store, and he thought something big was going on.

*

Yan Twelve returned to Shangjing with the information Wandong found, and presented Wandong's letter to Mo Li.

After Mo Li finished reading Wandong's letter, he asked Captain Ye to quickly check for a merchant from Luoyang who sold lanterns who appeared in Beijing recently.

It's not hard to find out, it's just time consuming.

It was not until the end of August that the government found one person, that person was Chu Hui, who had lived in the Double Happiness Inn in the west of Shangjing for more than ten days, and had been waiting for his two fellow countrymen.

Chu Hui said: "Two cars of lanterns have been sold, and if there is still one car that is not sold out, I will go back."

Chu Hui didn't know that Wandong was from the government, and she didn't know that the people from the government were investigating him all this time.

Chu Hui had seen Wandong in the Fanzhen Inn, and seen Wandong talking to Tu Yu a few times, and thought that Wandong was sent by Tu Yu to bring him a message, and he didn't even know that Tu Yu was dead.

Wandong learned from Chu Hui that another fellow of his is called Tu Lie, who is of the same clan as Tu Yu, and should be a kind of clan brother.

"The three of us have known each other since we were very young. I left my hometown early and went to Yingbei to learn how to make lanterns. Tu Yu went to a private school when he was a child. Tu Lie was not in his hometown for more than ten years. He came back five years ago. Only then did I realize that he has been in Xidi for many years, and he can even speak Xidi dialect, and he can also do some boxing skills. Tu Lie doesn’t know how to farm, but he has three horses and can raise horses, so he wants to do it with us Business, Tu Yu and I started the lantern and candle business together six years ago. Tu Lie didn’t want to join Tu Yu at first. Looking for Tu Yu, begging Tu Yu to take Tu Lie to do business, Tu Yu agreed."

Chu Hui also said: "Our business is doing well. Although we are not a big rich businessman, we are also well-known in the village. It was only after Tu Lie joined the group five years ago that we started to go back and forth to Beijing. We came once during the Mid-Autumn Festival and during the Lantern Festival. Once, each person can get dozens of taels of silver each time."

"That friend of Tu Yu's is a newly hired painter. He followed us for the first year of this year. One of the cars was all painted by him. He went to his uncle's house on business. We made an appointment to wait for him in Fanzhen."

In Chu Hui's words, they never revealed where their hometown is. It can be seen that they have been running business in the past few years, and some things have been discussed in advance.

But when it came to this, Chu Hui was slightly suspicious: "Dare to ask, little brother, how did you find the Double Happiness Inn?"

Tu Yuwan wouldn't even tell this person which inn they want to book in Shangjing, right?

Wandong narrowed his eyes and smiled: "I wanted to find Brother Tu, so I paid attention to the nearby inns to see if there were any people from Luoyang."

Chu Hui also smiled when she heard it: "So that's the case, so the little brother also lives nearby, we are really destined."

Chu Hui always felt uneasy, and the beautiful young man in front of her seemed to have something to say to him.

He just sat and waited for Wandong to speak, but Wandong didn't say anything else.

Chu Hui didn't want to wait any longer, but Tu Yu and Tu Lie never showed how he would return home alone.

*

In the case of Tu Yu, the context of the case is not complicated, and it can basically be concluded that the murderer is Tu Lie.

The two of them appeared on Taohuadi, and they disposed of the gold they got in a nearby wild place.

The two probably had a quarrel because of the unequal distribution of spoils. Tu Yu was strangled by Tu Lie near Taohua Embankment and stabbed a few times.

A knife is a small knife used for cutting meat, which is usually carried with you.

Moli's people stared at the Double Happiness Inn and the feudal town for a long time but did not see Tu Lie appearing.

Until Chu Hui made up her mind to return home with two entourages, that Tu Lie never appeared.

It's just that Tu Lie didn't show up, and Tu Yu's friends never came to Beijing.

Chu Hui waited at the inn for a few more days, this time he was waiting for Wandong.

After all, he was made to wait until Wandong.

Chu Hui: "If you don't come, I'm going back to my hometown. I don't feel at ease recently. I want to go back to my hometown first. If something happens, I can ask the villagers to solve it. Brother Wandong, let's just say goodbye."

Not long after Wandong sent Chu Hui out of the city, he saw Captain Ye riding a horse towards the gate of the city. Wandong saw him and stopped him.

"What's the matter?"

Detective Ye hurriedly said: "A letter from Fanzhen, that Tu Lie was caught in the middle of the night yesterday!"

"..." Wandong didn't expect to ask them to squat down after such a long time.

"Boss Ye, hurry up and chase Chu Hui's carriage. He just left not long ago, and we meet up in the town." Wandong said as he went into the city to look for Mo Li.

It was already a day and night for several people to arrive at the feudal town.

Tu Lie was tied up by Wuhua Da and imprisoned in the prison of Fanzhen.

Mr. Bo's people and Mo Li's people squatted around the town for more than a month before they squatted down Tu Lie.

"You're not small, you dare to steal gold." After listening to Master Gao's statement, Wandong sneered at the man who was put in the prison.

It was probably because Mr. Bo filled the entrance of the cave and planted trees to make it easier for Tu Lie to find him. After searching for two nights in the town, he couldn't find the entrance of the cave and the officers and soldiers guarding him were captured.

It turned out that Tu Lie killed Tu Yu and went to Yingchuan after monopolizing the gold.

Yingchuan is a rich and gentle place, with the world-famous Yangui Building, no matter how much gold he has, he will be tossed away. In addition, this person is a bastard who eats, drinks, prostitutes and gambles, and he loses all the gold.

As for how Tu Lie killed Tu Yu, Tu Lie himself described that he told Tu Yu that there was a wild pawn near Taohuadi, and coaxed Tu Yu to go to the pawn shop. On the way, he killed Tu Yu.

"There are about 70 taels of gold..." Tu Lie honestly explained.

Only two walls could dig out more than 70 taels, and the rest of Tu Lie first dug alone, at least 100 taels, so he returned to the town after squandering the gold in his hands.

Mo Li and Mr. Bo had never disclosed the case to the public, and in the end, Mo Li directly pushed the judge to Caishikou and beheaded him for public display.

It was at this moment that Chu Hui knew that Tu Lie had killed Tu Yu, and it was more than a month ago.

However, Chu Hui didn't know the reason, and Master Gao of the feudal town government only said that it was because of money.

Master Gao handed over the government's verdict to Chu Hui, and he could take it back to his hometown to find the government office in his hometown.

When they came, the three of them laughed and laughed, but when they went back, it was him alone with a piece of judgment.

Returning home with the corpses of Tu Yu and Tu Lie, Chu Hui fell seriously ill on the way before returning home.

The matter of Baigutan, Buddha Cave, and Tu Yu's case are over, and Mr. Bo's frown has finally eased.

He didn't know how long the matter of the mausoleum could be concealed, at least during his term of office, he would try his best to keep the people in this area safe.

*

At the end of September, the servant of the Ministry of Punishment finally showed mercy and arranged for Wandong to rest, allowing him to take a [-]-day vacation.

The ten-day vacation is a big happy event, and this vacation can be used for the Chinese New Year.

Wandong felt that he would be worthy of himself if he didn't go to Xiaohe for such a long vacation.

Naturally, Wandong would not tell his aunt that he was going to Xiaohe, he only said that he wanted to visit his hometown, Meiyi.

When Luo Shi heard this, he just asked Wandong to write a letter to his uncle, asking her husband to return to Beijing earlier this year.

Luo Shi agreed, and Wandong felt relieved.

As for Luo's letter, Wandong handed it to Captain Ye, who will deliver it for him.

Wandong rubbed his hands with joy, and will return to Xiaohe tomorrow.

Then what is the list of young heroes and weapons, it is time to refurbish it.

The next day Wandong woke up early, loaded the luggage that his aunt had prepared for him into the carriage, bid farewell to his aunt and the long-term worker at home, stepped into the carriage and was ready to set off.

Wandong drove southward for about thirty miles, but felt something was wrong, so someone followed him.

It's not too far away.

Wandong slowed down, walked and stopped, just waiting for the man to appear by himself.

At first he thought it was Yan Twelve, after all, only Yan Twelve was so free.

As a result, it was almost dusk when he caught someone.

"Mei Xiaobai, why are you crazy?" His tone was light, but his handsome face was still as cold as ice.

Mei Xiaobai, who was riding a little donkey, flinched: "Cousin, are you going to Xiaohe..."

The little white cat hummed and asked.

Wan Dong's expression was normal, but he was puzzled in his heart, how did Xiao Bai know that he was going to Xiao He?

But he quickly smiled coldly: "If you dare not come back yesterday, is it because you planned to go out with me?"

His eyes fell on the bulging luggage on Xiaobai's back.

Xiaobai blushed immediately, but he insisted: "Cousin, what if you go to Xiaohe and get sick again! I have to follow you so that you don't have trouble..."

Wandong's gaze softened for a moment, but soon he said sharply: "You go back, auntie will worry about you, don't make me repeat it a few times."

"I won't go back. My mother told me to follow you. I won't go back, but I will follow you." Seeing Wandong being so tough, Xiaobai began to play tricks.

"..." Wandong felt speechless when he saw Mei Xiaobai acting like a baby in front of him.

Without further ado, Wandong jumped into the carriage and drove to the official road going south.

"Hey, brother! Wait for me!" Xiaobai came to his senses and chased after him.

*

A few days later, Wandong arrived at Suyang, and he was going to rest in Suyang for two days before going to Xiaohe.

I thought that Xiaobai would be thrown away, after all, he didn't notice that someone was following him the night before, how could he...

Wandong went to Hanyan Temple to pay homage to the Buddha and burn incense. He saw a donkey and a horse grazing there under the big ginkgo tree outside the temple.

No matter how you look at it, this little donkey looks familiar.

When Wandong realized which donkey it was and was about to rub the soles of his feet with oil, he heard a few shouts.

"Cousin! Cousin! Cousin!"

"..."

Mei Xiaobai not only caught up with him, but also brought Yan Twelve along.

Looking at the dude in front of him, Wandong had mixed feelings in his heart.

"I'm on a ten-day vacation, what are you doing here?!"

Yan Twelve probably felt that there was not a single dirty word in Wandong's words, but he uttered a curse...

"Why don't you take me with you when you go to fight in Xiaohe?" Yan Twelve touched his precious sword and said calmly.
