Celebrating more than two years of peace in the world

Chapter 260

Over there, Wang Qinian led He Zongwei to experience a one-day tour of the Overwatch Council, and Fan Xian was not idle at this time.

Fan Xian was not in the Overwatch Council at all at this time, he had quietly walked out through the back door of the Overwatch Council, no one saw his trace, and only Gundam was by his side, the two of them one behind the other , Came to West Street Caishikou.

After scanning around, Fan Xian did not see any trace of Hong Dashan and Hong Xiaoshi. It seems that they did not continue to set up a stall here.After Fan Xian glanced at it, Gao Da asked, "My lord, why are you targeting these two people like this?"

Fan Xian smiled, and said helplessly, "Being entrusted with loyalty is something that can't be helped."

"Entrusted by someone?" Gao Da was even more puzzled, "Could it be possible that someone specially found an adult to deal with the vegetable sellers at the west street vegetable market?"

Fan Xian laughed loudly, "Of course not, it's Eunuch Hou, please help me with another matter."

Gundam nodded thoughtfully.

The other thing is about the murder of Hong Zhu's mother. This incident is very strange, no less strange than those nine people who were killed on the city wall at the same time, because Hong Zhu's mother was directly beheaded and died. of.

At first, Fan Xian also suspected what the nine-member team was doing after they entered the capital, but was knocked down by Hong Zhu's mother. In order to cover up their whereabouts or commit a crime, they chose to kill the old woman.

But Mu Tie sneaked into Jing Zhaoyin's mansion quietly, went to the mortuary room and found the corpse. After investigating, he found that there were marks of beatings on Hong Zhu's old mother, and three ribs and one were broken from the wounds. thigh bone.

According to the previous neighbor's description, although the old woman has a lot of inconvenience, she has no disabilities. According to Mu Tie's conclusion, if it is such a fractured old man, it is definitely impossible to walk upright, or even stand up. So the old woman was beaten before.

And with the strength of these nine people to kill an old woman, do they still need to be beaten in order to conceal the evidence?of course not.

In fact, the matter of investigating the case has nothing to do with Fan Xian. How people died and who killed them, the people below should just investigate, but this matter was entrusted by Eunuch Hou to find out the truth. That's why Fan Xian was asked to do it himself.

However, it can be concluded from this that the relationship between Hong Zhu and Eunuch Hou is indeed good.

After all, this was one of the few times Eunuch Hou asked Fan Xian for help.

Fan Xian was sitting on the second floor of a small restaurant not far from the Caishi entrance on West Street. He watched carefully the various people coming and going at the Caishi entrance, but then asked Gao Da, "Where are the vegetable market entrances located? Is the location fixed?"

Gao Da glanced down and nodded, "Yes, not only the location of selling vegetables is fixed, but also other things are fixed, such as the types of selling, for example, if I go to sell eggplants, then I can only sell eggplants , you can’t sell cucumbers, you can’t sell tomatoes, you can’t sell fruit.”

Fan Xian raised his eyebrows, "Is there still such a saying?"

"Yes." Gao Da said, "This is all the rules of that person."

Looking along the person Gundam pointed at, Fan Xian saw a little eunuch. The little eunuch was showing off his might, with his hands behind his back, slowly patrolling in front of the stalls in various vegetable markets, knowing that he was inspecting vegetables. Those who didn't know thought it was the Hubu Shangshu who turned to the street.

Fan Xian asked, "Who is this?"

"Zhou Dayuan, Eunuch Zhou." Gao Da said, "Eunuch Cao's subordinates are mainly responsible for purchasing these things. This vegetable market was basically established because of his needs, and the West Street vegetable market can be preserved to this day. It has a certain relationship with this person."

Fan Xian nodded, and suddenly asked, "Where is Shuning now?"

"If nothing has changed in the past few days, it should be near Prince Jing's mansion, and the two tiger guards are around her. Do you need me to call the lady over?" Gao Da asked.

Recalling that in the restaurant that day, Fan Shuning once said that there was a problem with the people at Caishikou, but Fan Xian didn't pay much attention to it at the time. Now that I think about it, there may be some clues that I can't explain, so Fan Xian ordered. He nodded and said softly, "Go, be careful not to let others see."

"Yes." Gao Da then turned and left.

Fan Xian glanced meaningfully at the Eunuch Zhou below. At this time, Eunuch Zhou was arrogant and domineering, like a real eunuch. Fan Xian had reason to suspect that the culprit of the beating was this Eunuch Zhou in front of him, but he wanted to come. Thinking about it, I don't have any evidence to prove it is him, and this matter involves a lot of things, so I can't make a hasty conclusion.

At this moment, Mu Tie came up from the stairs and stood beside Fan Xian, "My lord."

"Yeah." Fan Xian nodded, "What did you find?"

"When the old lady died, Eunuch Zhou was in the palace. On that day, Eunuch Cao took a few eunuchs to drink and have fun, and found a few women and boys by the Liujing River to have sex outside the palace wall." Mu Tie Said.

Fan Xian looked back at Mu Tie indifferently, "Is the current eunuch so exaggerated?"

"The job of eunuch has always been like this..." Mu Tie was embarrassed to show that he was very proficient, he just said, "You can often see them doing these things, but those little eunuchs with low status before have money , That is to say, to observe and touch things by yourself, these eunuchs with high rank and status just play around by themselves, these things are not uncommon in the palace."

Only then did Fan Xian nod his head, "Is there any possibility that someone under my command can do it?"

"I checked the body, it doesn't look like it was beaten by a martial artist." Mu Tie said.

In other words, Eunuch Cao or the people under Eunuch Zhou should at least know some martial arts. Of course, Fan Xian could understand this sentence, but he asked, "Then is there any clue now?"

"Not yet, but there is still a clue." Mu Tie said, "There should be a result later, please wait a little bit, sir."

Fan Xian nodded indifferently, "I'm not in a hurry. I called Shuning. Since there is nothing else, I'll go back to the Overwatch Council and wait for Shuning."

"I'll notify Brother Gao," Mu Tie said.

Fan Xian nodded.

He stood up again, and looked at the West Street Caishikou in front of him with endless interest. He always felt that there was something wrong here, but suddenly he was asked to tell him what he felt, and he didn't know what to say or where to feel.

Just feeling cramped and overwhelmed.
