Chapter 54 The Big Shopkeeper
If there is no clue to the Second Transformer God, I can only mix into the transaction as Liu Qingshui and look for opportunities.
Huaiyuanfang.
Wuhou Shop.
Song Changming, who had been walking outside for a long time, walked into Wuhou's shop with a bandage wrapped around his palm.
"Brother Song San? Why don't you take good care of your injuries at home and do things?"
Liu Hu and others have returned from patrolling the streets. Seeing the injured Song Changming appearing in Wuhou’s shop, they were puzzled.
In Liu Hu's heart, he actually regarded the time when Shi Kui and the other two were injured and were recovered as an opportunity.
Especially after getting to know the character of this new junior brother.
He knew at a glance that this junior brother was not a person with inferiority. Now Shi Kui and the other two cannot take up the position of Wuhoupu normally.
Liu Hu had already begun to plan to instigate Lu Tingzhou to prepare to "false" Shi Kui.
They could have recruited their loyal subordinates and joined the Wuhou Shop for the reason that Shi Kui and the other two were injured and Wuhou Shop was not in enough staff.
I think this is how Shi Kui did it, which led to the status of Qin Fu and Song Changming today.
Therefore, Liu Hu was smiling and caring about Song Changming, but in fact he was already thinking about Song Changming's purpose in his heart.
Looking at Liu Hu's eyes only, although Song Changming was the rudeest among the Shi Kui and the other three parties, after Shi Kui's advice, he vaguely noticed Liu Hu's thoughts.
He sneered in his heart.
But he was silent on his face and directly explained his purpose and plan:
"You don't have to care anymore. But there is a case you are asking you to investigate now. Someone reported that there was a private salt selling in Huaiyuanfang recently. You also know what the crime is..."
When Liu Hu and others heard this, their hearts were stuttering.
Selling private salt...
Liu Hu immediately stared at Song Changming with an ugly expression.
Let them investigate those who sell private salt. You should know that these people are all vicious outlaws. Once they are found, tens of them will have to fight.
It means the danger of life.
But just when Liu Hu and others changed color.
But he didn't notice Lu Tingzhou beside him, and he was trying his best to hide a surprise in his eyes:
"It's not that coincidental, right?"
He thought to himself.
"The information that the God of Transformation got from Liu Qingshui's memory was that those people used the identity of the salt owl as a cover. Is it really such a coincidence?"
Just as he was thinking.
Song Changming saw Liu Hu's face hesitant.
He was not surprised either.
Liu Hu's temperament is what kind of temperament? After working together in the past or two years, he knew very well that this person is lazy, greedy for money and lust, and is afraid of death...
If there is something to get something for nothing, he will be the first to rush forward.
But it is normal for Liu Hu to retreat and dare not step forward in a dangerous case like the arrest of Yan Xiao.
However, this is not a trap against Liu Hu.
Song Changming looked directly at Lu Tingzhou and said:
"Xiao Lu, my eldest brother and second brother are seriously injured and cannot come forward. I also need to recover from my injuries. There are salt owls wandering around in the yard. To put it bluntly, we can't control this matter anymore, we can only rely on you."
The reason why they plotted against Lu Tingzhou was because they consciously saw Lu Tingzhou's personality clearly and dared to use their identity to kill people on the first day of taking office, which clearly showed that they were trying to give them a warning...
This boy from Dali Temple is obviously a completely different character from Liu Hu, and he clearly has to try every means to climb up.
The danger of arresting the salt owl is true, but if the salt owl case is really seized, the contribution will be great!
Behind the beheading business, it is often the best way for the imperial court to promote.
Once investigated, this will be a big resume.
As expected.
Under Song Changming's gaze.
He saw Lu Tingzhou's eyes flashing in front of him, and said:
"Since we are a salt owl who sells private salt, we are arrested and brought to justice. That's all. I just don't know if there is a specific scope. Where can private salt be sold?"
He wanted to confirm whether he was the same group as the salt owl he thought was.
"I only know that the salt owls are wandering around and selling private salt in several restaurants. I will rely on you to check the rest. If I know all of them and know their place, I will use you to directly inform Dali Temple to let the adults in black come and get people."
Song Changming spoke coldly, not knowing the specific destination.
Those salt owls were indeed cautious, but Song Changming could guarantee that he would narrow the search range for Lu Tingzhou, so that the probability of Lu Tingzhou crashing into the trap would be greater.
The eldest brother Shi Kui calculated correctly. This kid must have thought that the salt owls were just a small gang, but only a small workshop of three or five people.
But in fact, only a few of them knew that the group of people who came to Ancheng this time had more people than before.
It is precisely because they have this key information that they can shoot this calculation.
Lu Tingzhou listened to Song Changming giving information from several restaurants and said in his heart:
"The scope is much smaller now."
He pretended to be meticulous and said, "Since that's the case, leave it to me. You and Wuhou Chang'an will be relieved."
"That depends on you."
Song Changming looked at Lu Tingzhou, turned around and left with an inexplicable smile.
After Song Changming left.
Liu Hu shouted immediately:
"Junior brother, haven't you seen that this is the old boy Shi Kui plotting against you. Yan Xiao is not that easy to catch. If we are not careful, we will sacrifice our lives for the court!"
"Of course I can see this, but he is a conspiracy and guessed that I will investigate and deal with it in order to solve the case."
Lu Tingzhou replied:
"But I am not stupid. I don't know how many people in the salt owl are, how could I act rashly."
"That's good." Liu Hu breathed a sigh of relief.
"First, follow the restaurants he just said and ask."
Just asking the restaurant, it was not very dangerous.
Xiaoma and his friends also relaxed their nervousness when they heard this.
After Lu Tingzhou dealt with a few people on the surface, he was actually already responding to his thoughts that he was far away in another yard.
...
Just as Lu Tingzhou pretended to take a few Wuhou to the street to inquire.
The second side of the spirit flew out of Liu Qingshui's body and rushed to some places in Huaiyuanfang in a wandering soul.
From the beginning, I didn’t know which corner of Ancheng was, but now I have become a targeted person in Huaiyuanfang.
The second distraction with the power of invisibility through the wall is simply the most suitable person for spying.
There is a general area prompt from Song Changming that almost narrows the traces of Yan Xiao to a street, which has only a maximum of four hundred courtyards and merchants on this street.
It only takes half a day to enter every family silently and find a target.
Soon, the second concentration has a target.
It is a yard full of weaving cloth.
The reason for the second distraction was also very simple. When Wu Hou asked about the private salt, the people in the yard were directly alarmed.
"The big shopkeeper is not good. Wu Hou outside is asking about the private salt. Are we..."
In the yard, a man in strong clothes hurriedly walked in and said.
With this sound, the whole yard was quiet.
But a calm voice came from the house:
"Don't panic, this is the plan. We disguised ourselves as salt owls and entered the city just to avoid the truly powerful Dali Temple. Now we have only attracted Xiao Wuhou, which means we are truly safe."
Chapter completed!
