He was betrayed at the beginning, from a cake seller to a wealthy person

Killing people in the street. Such a big thing happened. Liu Hongtu and Qi Yuan didn't need to sleep anymore. They were picked up from the bed and gathered at the county government office.

Lu Yan called the city patrol officers to come over and carry the body to the backyard of the county government office. Liu Hongtu was shocked when he arrived: "Isn't this Zhou Zhuo!"

The person who died was Zhou Zhuo, the magistrate of Kaicheng County. Mr. Zhou was a member of Dai Kuangyuan. How could he go to Yaoshan County in the middle of the night and be killed?

The results of the operation came out very quickly: "Killed with one knife. The murderer used a knife or dagger, and he was very fast. He should be a practitioner."

"He must be a practicing master." Lu Yan added.

Qi Yuan asked: "How to say?"

"We were walking on the road and saw him being chased. Before he could react, he was wiped on the neck." Lu Yan said, "I asked my maid to chase him. She is very good at martial arts and she hasn't come back yet." It shows that that person’s skills are definitely not bad.”

Just as he was talking, He Wenjing walked in from the door, looked at Lu Yan and shook her head: "I haven't caught up, he has better kung fu than me."

Lu Yan spread her hands: "I tried my best."

Qi Yuan frowned: "We can only analyze it based on the existing evidence."

"He came early and late, but he came at this time, which means he came for you." Lu Yan pointed at Qi Yuan: "He wanted to come to Mr. Qin, but someone didn't want him to, so he was silenced .”

Liu Hongtu's head was confused: "Who wants to silence him? Dai Kuangyuan? He is Dai Kuangyuan's man and has done a lot of things for Dai Kuangyuan."

Qi Yuan: "Two possibilities are either Dai Kuangyuan's people, or Dai Kuangyuan's superiors."

Lu Yan felt goosebumps all over her body when she heard this: "Wait a minute, wait a minute! This is not something that a young and innocent girl like me should know. You can talk about it after I leave first!"

Lu Yan and He Wenjing disappeared in a flash, leaving only Qi Yuan and Liu Hongtu looking at each other.

Lu Yan ran out of the Yamen before slowing down and taking a deep breath.

"Master, aren't you curious?" He Wenjing asked.

Lu Yan's face was expressionless: "I shouldn't be curious about this kind of thing. The more I know, the deeper I will be bound to them. I'm just a businessman."

What else is there to be curious about? Isn’t this the work of the person who manipulated the second prince? Is it rare for the second prince to do this kind of thing? It's better not to know the secrets of the palace.

Qi Yuan and Liu Hongtu also guessed this.

"My intuition should not be Dai Kuangyuan's hand." Qi Yuan said: "Xu Ying went to Dai Kuangyuan's banquet last night and said some specious things at the banquet. Maybe I already knew about their activities in Hengzhou. His only way to survive is to take his belongings to me."

"Dai Kuangyuan himself is probably still hesitant. The second brother, Dai Kuangyuan, and Zhou Zhuo don't trust each other, and each has placed their own people in the other party. The words at the banquet probably reached Zhou Zhuo's ears early in the morning, and Zhou Zhuo felt Instead of waiting for Dai Kuangyuan to betray first, it is better to seize the opportunity and let him come first, so he came in a hurry today."

"The second brother probably knows this too, so be on guard against Dai Kuangyuan. I didn't expect Zhou Zhuo to move first before Dai Kuangyuan could move. I might as well send someone to intercept and kill Zhou Zhuo. By then, you will be dead without anyone noticing. It can also cause you some trouble. If you are discovered, you can blame Dai Kuangyuan. You can also scare the monkeys by killing the chicken and scare Dai Kuangyuan with the news of Zhou Zhuo's death, so that he does not dare to act rashly. "

Liu Hongtu also nodded: "If it is really the second prince, then Dai Kuangyuan should have stopped recently, and he would not dare to come to you even if I beat him to death. So what should we do now? Do we want to bring Dai Kuangyuan over?"

Qi Yuan thought for a while: "No, the body has been buried. Don't alert the snake. Dai Kuangyuan will find out that Zhou Zhuo is missing in the next two days. He will not be seen alive or dead, so he will be worried for a few days."

The two quickly discussed a countermeasure and pretended that this incident had never happened.

Lu Yan arrived home soon. She didn't feel much on the way. After she got home, her legs felt weak as soon as she relaxed and the smell of alcohol came to her head.

Lu Sheng looked at her holding her head and swaying around, and said anxiously: "What's wrong? Did you drink too much? You came back really late today."

Lu Yan shook her head and said nothing. When he was about to enter the house, he stopped while holding on to the door frame. Still unable to hold back, he turned around and asked Lu Sheng, "How much do you know about Kaicheng County?"

Lu Sheng was confused by the question and said blankly: "I don't know much about it, but I know they have many mines."

Lu Yan was stunned for a moment, then asked: "What kind of mine?"

Lu Sheng: "There are coal mines and iron ores, but iron ore is the most abundant."

Iron ore... Why didn't I think of it before? In later generations, Hengzhou would be the leading province in iron ore production in the country... The second prince's activities in Hengzhou would not be related to iron ore, right? ?

What does he need iron for? In the original work, he secretly communicated with Beidi... I can't think about it anymore, I can't think about it anymore...

Lu Yan hit her head hard twice and forced herself to lie down and sleep.

Lu Yan went into the room and slept without saying a word after asking. Lu Sheng looked confused and didn't know what happened. He wanted to ask He Wenjing to ask, but felt that it was too late and inappropriate. Let's talk tomorrow. I packed up and went to sleep.

Lu Yan left early the next day again, and Lu Sheng called He Wenjing to ask: "What happened last night?"

He Wenjing looked at her eyes, nose and heart: "No? Nothing happened?"

Lu Sheng: "Do you think I'm stupid?"

He Wenjing let out a sigh of relief: "My boss said it's not good to know too much, so you'd better stop asking."

Lu Sheng rolled his eyes: "You don't have to tell me who the specific person is, just tell me what happened."

He Wenjing thought for a while: "Yesterday, on the way back, my boss and I encountered a man in black chasing someone."

Lu Sheng was shocked by these words: "Then what? Did he kill him? Did the man in black catch him?"

He Wenjing nodded and shook her head: "The man was killed, but the man in black was not caught."

Lu Sheng asked again: "What happens next?"

He Wenjing: "Then my boss called the patrol officers, and they called Mr. Liu and Mr. Qin. They were discussing who was responsible. My boss said that this was not what she should hear, and ran away with me. .Gone."

She wouldn't say a word if she wasn't asked to name a specific person. However, this amount of information was enough for Lu Sheng to make inferences.

Lu Yan came back yesterday and suddenly asked him about Kaicheng County. It shows that this person should have a lot to do with Kaicheng County. He Wenjing said that several people discussed who had committed the crime but did not discuss the identity of the deceased, which meant that the identity of the deceased was very clear and no discussion was needed.

A person with a clear identity related to Kaicheng County. Couldn't it be the magistrate of Kaicheng County who died?
