Unexpectedly, Wei Zheng shook his head.

Killing people is not a trivial matter, Wei Zheng always does it himself, and never does it to others.

Because he is a butcher, even if he and his son are going to be guest pigs on the cutting board, how could he allow other pigs to be meat cases?

He personally wooed the cook woman, and it was he who personally handed over the money and rat poison to the cook woman to let him add medicine to the pancakes——Zhu Liu loves pancakes and must eat them every meal, so the medicine in the pancakes can guarantee Must kill.

Lu Bai frowned, this is not so good.

In this way, we can only interrogate Zhu Liu's big apprentice to see if he knows who reminded Zhu Liu.

"In addition, this cook is also worth checking." Lu Bai said.

After Zhu Liu experienced a cook woman being poisoned and murdered, when choosing a cook woman after drowning the cook woman, he must be cautious and cautious. This cook woman must be someone he can trust.

This trustworthy cook woman poisoned the pancakes today, not only poisoning Zhu Liu, but also poisoning herself.

Zhu Liu was poisoned to death by a cook woman whom Zhu Liu could trust very much.

Then the mastermind behind the scenes must not be simple.

Lu Bai pondered, who could this person be, and who would let him

Chapter 431 The Raven

Although Lu Bai probably had the answer in his heart, he didn't let Jin Yiwei do anything.

First, he was afraid of scaring the snake.

Lu Bai now has a high opinion of this black hand behind the scenes. This black hand behind the scenes can be said to be pervasive, thoughtful, and well-informed. Whether it is a pig business or a construction business, even in the palace, there are people with him. Lu Bai has no choice but to step up. Be vigilant, so as not to let the black hands behind this scene get the news.

not only that.

Lu Bai even felt that Jinyiwei might have the eyeliner of the black hand behind the scenes.Therefore, after Wei Zheng mentioned Tan De's heir, he immediately became vigilant, and he couldn't hide any hints from the Jin Yiwei around him.

Secondly, Lu Bai felt that there were still some things that he didn't understand thoroughly.

For example, why did Tan Desi tell Zhu Liu the news that Wei Zheng poisoned Zhu Liu? Did Tan Desi not want to be the leader of this line?

The hustle and bustle is all for profit.

After pondering for a moment, Lu Bai asked Wei Zheng, "What benefits did Tan Desi get from it?"

Only benefits can make Tan Desi give up the head of the line to Zhu Liu.

Wei Zheng was obviously also thinking about this question. After hearing Lu Bai's question, he shook his head, "No, no, since Zhu Liu became the leader of the line, he did not benefit Tan Desi. Because Zhu Liu was originally the leader of the pig line. After he became the head of the line again, Pig Butcher Air still maintains the original structure of the Pig Line—no, there is a change.”

"Oh?" Lu Bai looked at him, "What change?"

"After Zhu Liu became the head of the line, he not only did not benefit Tan Desi, but also took some things from him." Wei Zheng said.

Lu Bai hurriedly asked what it was.

"Buying in the palace." Wei Zheng said.

Although pork is a cheap food, as a rule, it is not in the elegant hall, but after the imperial court went south, there was no spare mutton, so the palace began to buy pork for the maids and servants.

Later, this rule was followed, and the palace bought pork every month.

In the past, because Tan Desi was born and raised in the capital city, his ancestral pig-killing skills, and his ancestors had served as the head of the line several times, so the business that should be purchased in the palace belonged to the Tan family.

"Don't underestimate this palace purchase." Wei Zheng said.

There are even seventh-rank officials in front of the prime minister's gate, not to mention the people in the palace. They can crush the lowest-level businessmen among scholars, farmers, businessmen, and businessmen to death like ants for any reason.

Tan Desi was able to speak in front of the yamen because he borrowed the strength from the palace. He gained a firm foothold in the alley of killing pigs and became an evergreen tree in the alley of killing pigs.

"Many butchers on weekdays envy the Tan family for having such a network, but such a network cannot be obtained by asking for it." Wei Zheng said.

What surprised him was that after Zhu Liu became the head of the line again, he even snatched the palace purchase from Tan Desi in the name of the pig shop, and let the pig shop take over the palace purchase.

What surprised Wei Zheng even more was that Tan Desi easily asked Zhu Liu to move the purchase to the pig shop.

"Although the Tan family still accounts for the majority of purchases, they are no longer exclusive," Wei Zheng said.

In recent years, Zhu Liu's share of pork purchases has been increasing, and he has a tendency to surpass Tan Desi faintly.

"This may be the reason why he poisoned Zhu Liu." Wei Zheng said.

Lu Bai didn't understand now, Tan Desi saved Zhu Liuyi's life, and made Zhu Liu the leader of the line, but in the end he didn't get anything, and even broke the purchases from the palace.

What is this picture?

Could it be that Tan Desi has something in Zhu Liu's hands?

That's not right, if there is something in Zhu Liu's hands, Tan Desi hopes that Zhu Liu will die.

Then, Lu Bai thought of Wei Zhengfang's words, "The reason why Tan Desi knew that you were going to kill Zhu Liu was because you put Tan Desi's methods of killing Zhu Liu in front of you."

Undoubtedly, Tan Desi also knew that Wei Zheng had killed many of his colleagues by poisoning him.In this way, he must know that Wei Zheng, who got the news, would attack Tan Desi.

This confused Lu Bai again.

Tan Desi set up such a game, let Wei Zheng poison Zhu Liu, he rescued Zhu Liu, and finally let Zhu Liu take advantage of him, what is he trying to do?

unless--

A flash of inspiration flashed through Lu Bai's thoughts, "Unless Tan Desi gave Zhu Liu something cheap at all! And reminding Zhu Liu that Zhu Liu poisoned Wei Zheng's daughter was undoubtedly to gain Zhu Liu's trust and hold Zhu Liu at the same time. handle."

Zhu Liu got the purchase from the palace, so he must have a lot of trust in Tan Desi.

In this way, the cooks he recommends or introduces to Zhu Liu will definitely gain Zhu Liu's trust, thus giving him the opportunity to repeat the old trick

Now the reason why Zhu Liu was poisoned with the help of the kitchen woman must be because Lu Bai's investigation was very tight - Lu Bai's investigation of the case this day was all behind the black hands behind the scenes to cut off the clues.

Thinking about this, Lu Bai suddenly got an inspiration, and his thoughts flowed like the water of the Yellow River.What Lu Bai wanted to investigate was undoubtedly the missing child case. He followed the clues in the palace to find out, and now the other end of the clues was implicated in the palace.

There is clearly a connection.

It also reminds me that Tan Desi set up such a big game just to push the benefits that Zhu Liu and Wei Zheng think to Zhu Liu, but it is very likely that this benefit is a hot potato.

What is this hot potato?

Lu Bai felt that the answer was ready: children!

The palace buys pork, and the ancestors of Tan Desi's family provided pork for the palace father-in-law, maybe this pork is not pork at all!

After Lu Bai figured this out, he couldn't help feeling a chill in his heart, but at the same time, he was happy. The cold thing was that these people dared to send children's flesh and blood into the palace as pork, and the happy thing was that this case finally had a clue.

But in order not to startle the snake, Lu Bai still looked confused.

He asked everyone to stay in the house, while he went to the hut. After reaching a place where no one could see, a clone appeared, disappeared in the same place in an instant, and went to a distance to inquire about Tan Desi's address.

He was afraid that Tan Desi would also be silenced now.

Lu Bai returned to the dining room and saw Wei Zheng still staying where he was, stroking the beard under his chin and thinking.Although he guessed that it was Tan Desi who did it, he really couldn't figure out the reason why Tan Desi did it like this.

Fu Baihu walked up and down in the dining room, trying to find some clues.

Lu Bai secretly smiled inwardly, but put on an expression of ignorance on his face.

He probably knew why Tan Desi did this.

Giving tribute to boys and girls in the palace can be done for a while, for a lifetime, but not for several lifetimes. Whether it is moral condemnation, or the deep fear that one day the incident will make the whole family fall into a situation where there is no redemption, Tan Desi must think of ways Push this hot potato out.

It just so happened that Tan Desi could ask Zhu Liu to take up the job in the name of Zhuxing.

In this way, even if the Dongchuang incident happened, it would be Zhu Liu or the entire pig shop that would bear the shock, not the Tan family.

Of course, these are just speculations, and Lu Bai still needs more verification.

His task now is to delay as much as possible, lest the black hand behind the scenes discover the abnormality and kill Tan Desi.

In addition, Lu Bai still needs some evidence.

"Tan Desi took great pains to get you to poison Zhu Liu, and then told Zhu Liu the news of your poisoning Zhu Liu. There must be something inside, maybe they reached some shady deal behind the scenes." Lu Bai pondered for a moment and asked Wei Zheng, "After the selection of the leader, is there anything unusual about them?"

Wei Zheng felt that there were still some abnormalities.

In the past, the relationship between Tan Desi and Zhu Liu was not close, but after the election of the leader, the relationship between the two suddenly became close.

Wei Zheng previously thought that Tan Desi could bend and stretch, but only now did he know that Tan Desi played a big game of chess.

"Oh?"

Lu Bai was thoughtful.

From this point of view, Zhu Liu began to trust Tan Desi because Tan Desi reminded him that Wei Zheng was poisoned.

"Oh, by the way, it's also because of Tan Desi that the palace purchases were moved from the Tan family to the pig shop, and became a joint business between Zhu Liu and the Tan family." Wei Zheng suddenly remembered.

In Killing Pig Alley, if you bow your head but don't look up, many things can be spread.

Wei Zheng once heard a rumor that Tan Desi led Zhu Liu to meet a father-in-law in the palace at Juxian Pavilion. Moved to the head of the pig line.

It is said to be a pig, but it is actually on the heads of Tan Desi and Zhu Liu.

The daily purchases in the palace are slaughtered by people from the Tan family and the Zhu family, and then handed over to the father-in-law who goes out to buy from the palace.

Lu Bai nodded, and suddenly asked: "Is the pork bought in the palace slaughtered together with ordinary pork, and then selected?"

Wei Zheng shook his head, "Of course not."

All the people in the palace are nobles, and the pork they eat must be carefully selected.The pigs sent to the palace have to be carefully selected, both in terms of weight and age.

If it is too big, it is not suitable, and if it is too small, no one will sell it.

Therefore, every evening after the pig dealers from outside the city came to pigs, Zhu Liu and Tan Desi's disciples would first select the pigs that the palace wanted, and then hand over the rest to the pig shop for slaughter.

As for the selected pigs, Zhu Liu and Tan Desi's people rushed to their own yard for slaughter, and then sent them to the palace in the dark for the nobles in the palace to enjoy.

"Oh?"

Lu Bai confirmed his guess in his heart by seven or eight points.

He asked Wei Zheng, "Who killed these pigs?"

Wei Zheng, as the third biggest player in the pig shop, still knew about this. He told Lu Bai that because the palace had very strict requirements on pork, such as the cut of the knife must not be too long, the internal organs must be cleaned, and the pork and pig body must not be separated before being sent to the palace. The pigs must have all beards and tails, etc...

"Slaughtering pigs requires a superb memory, and in order to be worthy of the status of nobles in the palace, Tan Desi and Zhu Liu do the slaughtering of pigs themselves, and no one is allowed to watch." Wei Zheng said.

Good guy!

Lu Bai narrowed his eyes slightly, he now knew how these people sent those children into the palace.

Now the only doubt left is only one pile:

That's why Hu Wanwan and other three craftsmen were asked to send three children in.

It doesn't make sense.

Since there is a more secure way, why bother to look far away and involve the construction industry and let them send three children in?

While thinking, Lu Bai narrowed his eyes slightly.

Under the thought force he radiated, he found a Jin Yiwei who was holding hands outside the courtyard quietly walked out.

Lu Bai didn't move his expression, but Nian Li was already following behind Jin Yiwei.

It's just that after Jin Yiwei went out from the back door, he just found a tree to urinate, kept whistling, and returned to his original seat after he finished urinating, there was nothing unusual about it.

However, Lu Bai is now vigilant.

He took it as a reminder.

Although he had no basis, Lu Bai knew that a person who pissed and whistled on the street was usually guilty of guilt, at least it was shown on TV.

Of course, Lu Bai also has his own explanation, that is, it is impolite to pee anywhere, and whistle to attract others' attention, which is generally problematic.

Lu Bai treated him as a problem, and hurriedly let go of his thoughts, wanting to see if there is anyone around who has received abnormal news.

However, the back door is in a secluded alley, there is no human hair, only a crow chirping on the branch.

Did you guess wrong?

Chapter 432 Mountain Gate

Just as Lu Bai was about to withdraw his thoughts, he suddenly saw the crow flapping its wings and flying high.

He thought for a moment, and then the thought came out, the blade flashed, and the crow in the sky dropped a few feathers. As for the crow itself, it disappeared into the sky and the earth with a flash of light.
