On the second day, Lu Ji got up tired of it, and only then opened the door, and saw Zhu Zhipan running in from the courtyard excitedly.

The door beside him slammed slightly, Lu Ji turned his head, and met Shen Zhiwei who was also about to go out.Both of them were startled, and they looked away together.

There was some dew on Zhu Zhipan's body, and Lu Ji asked him to find out that he got up early in the morning and rushed to the place where the corpse was identified by Li Lin to investigate Fang Hui.

"She didn't lie." Zhu Zhipan rubbed his fists, and asked Li Linshi, "Is there anything unusual about your husband recently? For example, is there anything unusual about the people you know?"

Li Lin's eyes were blank: "Da Lang never told me about the matter outside, and the women don't know..." After speaking, he turned to the inner room as if remembering something, and came out with a piece of paper in his hand.

"Look, my lord, is this thing useful?"

Zhu Zhipan took it, Shen Zhiwei was still in a daze, Lu Ji just pretended not to see it, and went to have a look.

Li Lin wiped her hands on the apron: "This is what the girl found in the unwashed old clothes after sorting out Dalang's belongings. The girl is illiterate, so she doesn't know what it is..."

"Baofeng..." Lu Ji read, "What is this?"

Zhu Zhipan frowned: "The name of the largest grain store in Beijing, this is the invoice it issued."

Lu Ji recognized the handwriting: "On the third day of the fifth lunar month, 140 dan of vending grains, a total of 570 liang of silver, and both silver and goods, as proof..."

"What a Li Feng." Zhu Zhipan snapped the paper shut, and said with a sneer, "You really have the guts to sell the grain that should have been handed over to the court to a private banker! It must have happened more than once."

Li Lin's face paled in an instant, and he grabbed Zhu Zhipan's sleeve: "Your Excellency has learned... Da Lang has the most honest and honest temperament, and he will definitely not do such a beheading thing!"

Zhu Zhipan brushed her away: "With his small uprightness, he naturally doesn't have the guts, but if there are nobles in the court to lure him with profit or threaten him with power, why not follow?"

Li Lin just shook his head, Zhu Zhipan said again: "If you still don't believe me, let me ask you, are you taking medicine?"

Li Lin's voice trembled slightly: "When I was a girl, Xiaobao suffered from wind, and I was bedridden all year round. Although I have recovered recently, I would also use some warming and tonic medicine, but the family is poor, so I can only look at some cheap itinerant doctors..."

"Pedestrian doctor?" Zhu Zhipan sneered, and slowly took out a thin white porcelain bottle from his sleeve.

"But I don't know why the medicine prescribed by the traveling doctor has the price of Huichuntang in the capital."

The body of the bottle is turned upside down, and the three characters "Hui Chun Tang" are imprinted on the bottom in vermilion lacquer seal script.

Lu Ji said: "Rejuvenation Hall, isn't it the largest medical clinic in the capital?" He touched his chin, "I heard that the doctors sitting in the hall are all famous doctors, and they seem to have frequent contacts with the Imperial Hospital in private." Or Chen The old doctor told him.

"That's true." Shen Zhiwei, who was wandering in the sky, suddenly answered the words for some reason, took a step forward, and stood beside Lu Ji.

"Huixuntang is not an ordinary medical clinic. There is often a saying that a hundred gold is hard to find in Beijing. Although it is unavoidably exaggerated, the consultation fees are indeed very expensive compared to ordinary people."

After Lu Ji listened silently, Shen Zhiwei turned his head to look at him, Lu Ji froze slightly, and moved his head without leaving a trace.

Li Linshi was on the verge of falling, and Xiaobao supported her, and Li Linshi had tears in his eyes: "No wonder, no wonder, I am still an ordinary doctor, why are my medical skills so superb... Da Lang, you are so confused..." Hissed and mourned Huh, suddenly his body went limp, and he fell backwards.

Everyone rushed to carry him back to the house, and invited the doctor in the village to have a look. Fortunately, there was nothing serious except for excessive mourning.Lu Ji asked Lin Bo to stay for a few more days, and after a lot of fuss, the three of them finally set foot on the road back to the city.

"Is this bottle really from Li Feng's family? But why does it look familiar to me?" In the carriage, Lu Ji held the white porcelain bottle in his hand and looked at it over and over.

Zhu Zhipan shook his head with his tut: "Master Lu, you can't even forget this, right?" Before Lu Ji could answer, Zhu Zhipan continued, "That's right, Zhou Mingxu just worked for Master Shen a few days ago, you were in a daze all day long. Yes, it's like losing your soul, it's okay if you can't see it."

"Crackling", the porcelain bottle is broken.

Zhu Zhipan raised his eyebrows, Shen Zhiwei had already grasped Lu Ji's wrist, and pulled it in front of him: "Are you hurt?"

The tone was worried, the fingers were hard, and the brows were furrowed, which was indeed extremely concerned.

However, Lu Ji paused, pulled his wrist back involuntarily, brushed off his sleeves, and said calmly, "Master Shen is too worried."

Shen Zhiwei lowered his eyes, twitched the corners of his mouth as if mocking himself, and sat back.

There was a moment of silence as the carriage rolled.

Zhu Zhipan coughed twice, breaking the embarrassment: "This porcelain bottle is indeed the same as Zhou Mingxu's porcelain bottle containing cough medicine. The person who connected with Li Feng should undoubtedly be Zhou Mingxu. As a reward, Zhou Mingxu Give him a lot of money so that he can go to Huichun Hall to seek medicine for Li Lin."

Lu Ji was absent-minded, and casually agreed: "Since that's the case, are we going to Huichun Hall next?"

"No," Zhu Zhipan's eyes sparkled, "let's go to another place."

Baofeng Grain Store is located in the southwest of the capital. Entering the city from Chunming Gate, it only takes half a cup of tea to drive. It is very convenient to transport grain in and out.

It was midday when they entered the city, and there were cars and horses passing by in front of the Baofeng Grain Store, and many shirtless men came in and out with grain bags of various sizes on their shoulders.

Zhu Zhipan cut to the chase and yelled at the waiter to call the shopkeeper out. After a short while, a fat middle-aged man came out. Before saying a word, he smiled and stepped forward: "What advice does this little brother have?"

"Do you recognize this paper?" Zhu Zhipan took out the paper and handed it to him.

The shopkeeper took it, looked up and down, and nodded: "Yes, this is the receipt issued by our bank. Looking at this, how many friends are Li Feng?" a meal.

Startled, Lu Ji couldn't help touching a mustache on his lips, cleared his throat and stood still with his hands behind his back.

Fortunately, the shopkeeper quickly looked away, and Lu Ji heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that Lin Bo might not even recognize him if he was dressed like this, and if he could recognize him, there must be a ghost.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but return to the front of a stick of incense.

The carriage stopped at the corner of the street, Lu Ji raised the curtain to look around, and the front of Baofeng Grain Store was bustling with activity.

"Liu Baofeng, the shopkeeper of Baofeng Grain Bank, is from the capital city. Because of his large business, he also has some contacts with the household department, but it is not known whether he is involved in the transfer of user banks."

Lu Ji put down the car curtain, and when he turned his head, Zhu Zhipan's eyes flickered, and he was immediately alert, feeling that it was not a good thing.

Zhu Zhipan chuckled: "So, there will be more troubles, we can't just go in like this..."

"So you let me dress like this?" Lu Ji's eyelids twitched twice, looking at his waist that had gained three times of fat, and then at Zhu Zhipan's refreshing long gown, his fists itch for a moment.

"Oh, Mr. Lu," Zhu Zhipan patted him, speaking earnestly, "The current situation forces us to worry about the overall situation. You and Mr. Shen are both famous people who have walked through Zhuque Street. To be on the safe side, we naturally have to disguise ourselves thoroughly. some."

Lu Ji's eyes were like knives, Zhu Zhipan turned a blind eye, and acted modestly: "I am just a small official among the great officials of the imperial court. I am as small as an ant, so naturally no one cares."

Lu Ji gritted his teeth, caught a glimpse of Shen Zhiwei from the corner of his eye, and saw that he was also wearing the same bloated robe as himself.But Shen Zhiwei is tall, wearing this clothes on him, he can still look a little chic, so he has become the most eye-catching one among the three.

Lu Ji tugged at the front of his clothes angrily, and heard Zhu Zhipan reply, "Exactly, I have received a few loads of grain these days, and I want to ask the shopkeeper if I want any more."

Shopkeeper Liu showed surprise on his face: "Brother Li still has the goods?"

Zhu Zhipan remained silent, Shopkeeper Liu rubbed his hands, stretched out his hand to draw in: "Please follow me into the tea pavilion for a while."

The tea smoke is curling up, and the agarwood is fragrant.Shopkeeper Liu politely invited a few people to sit down, but he refused to sit down again and again, and offered new tea in person. Then he lowered his voice and asked: "Several... In fact, I have always been unclear about Brother Li's food. Where did it come from?"

Zhu Zhipan paused, and exchanged a look with Lu Ji.

"Why, shopkeeper Liu can't eat anymore, or can't trust us?" Zhu Zhipan said flatly.

The shopkeeper immediately waved his hand: "No such intention, absolutely no intention! It's just..." sighed helplessly, "I think the little brother also understands that there are many difficulties in doing business, especially in our business. The most feared , is causing trouble.”

"Shopkeeper Liu's words are wrong. Baofeng Bank has branches all over the world, and Yongjing City is the business of Shopkeeper Liu and your family. If you even cry for Shopkeeper Liu, the merchants who open grain stores in the world may not survive. down."

Shopkeeper Liu smiled wryly: "It is precisely because of this that I am even more afraid of trouble. Everyone in the world calls me Baofenghang as a half-royal businessman, but doing business with the Tian family, there is no trouble. No, I hide Yefu, isn't Lord Jing still standing in front of me?"

Before Lu Ji took a sip of the tea, he almost spit it out, coughing for a while, Shen Zhiwei hurriedly patted him on the back.

"You...you recognized me a long time ago?" Lu Ji didn't have time to care about others, he was terrified at the moment, he was dressed like this, could this person recognize him? !

"My lord is very well disguised, I didn't realize it at first. It's just that my lord changed his clothes and hat, but he forgot to change a new pair of boots."

"I am fortunate to have met the owner of Yunjin Pavilion, most of the prince's clothes and shoes are from Yunjin Pavilion, and the style is unique, so I can recognize it." Shopkeeper Liu bowed to the bottom, "I hope the prince will forgive the negligence of the grassroots. "

Lu Ji held his elbow and asked him repeatedly to let him sit down. Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper Liu knew the identities of Zhu Zhipan and Shen Zhiwei. Out of a hot sweat.

Shopkeeper Liu rubbed his forehead: "My lord is here, it seems that the grass people are still in trouble. If the prince wants to know what's going on, the grass people will definitely tell you everything."

Lu Ji opened his mouth, closed it again, coughed twice and turned his head: "Cough, Master Zhu, it's better for you to come."

Zhu Zhipan straightened his clothes, sat up straight, and was very proud. If he had a tail, it would have been up to the sky at this moment.Lu Ji punched again.

"Let me ask you, in the past few months, has the grain bank made any abnormal income? What is the deal between Li Feng and you?"

Shopkeeper Liu thought for a moment, and then spoke eloquently.
