"Oh, you and I have just arrived in Pingshou County. Who will write to us?"
Zhu Gaotian said casually, and then asked the waiter in the shop to keep the letter.
"Then the villain will take his leave!"
After the waiter left, he looked around and found no one, then turned around and timidly came to the kitchen, took out an identical letter from his arms, and then put it into the stove.
.
Then he took out several plates of prepared dishes as if nothing had happened.
Zhu Gaoyan, who was in the guest room, glanced at Su Wu and said with a smile:
"Look, isn't this coming?"
"Haha, Your Majesty is indeed wise and powerful. The food on our table is not even cold yet, and we can't wait to deliver it to our door!"
Su Wu also looked through the window, always paying attention to the situation below. In this inn, after the boss came in for a while, someone at the door delivered a letter to the waiter.
"Open the letter and take a look. If it's as expected, it should be about the casting of counterfeit money!"
Zhu Gaoyan took another sip of highland barley wine. Su Wu quickly opened the envelope and smiled after seeing the contents of the letter.
"As expected by Your Majesty, what is mentioned in this letter is indeed related to the fake copper coins!"
The contents of this envelope are also straightforward.
"Beside the Three Rivers Bridge, among the moonflowers, you can see three legs!"
"At night, near the flowers by the Sanhe Bridge, something about money!"
Of course, if these words are not deliberately thought about in terms of minting counterfeit coins, you will not understand what they are talking about.
"Your Majesty, do you want us to send a few people over to take a look?"
In the morning, the letters had been sent out urgently. It was estimated that these letters would be delivered to the General Hussars at noon and to the Third Division of Sichuan in the afternoon.
"At that time, we will send people to track down the person who came to contact us and find out his behind-the-scenes instructions!"
But Zhu Gaoying shook his head and said to Su Wu unhurriedly.
"Su Wu, don't be impatient about this matter. As the saying goes, you can't eat hot tofu if you are impatient."
"They sent this letter in a hurry, and you can already tell that the person behind it who is casting fake money has actually received the news at this time and is anxiously waiting for our reply."
"This is where we got the upper hand! We have a little bit of control over this matter!"
"What's more, we don't know who is sending the letter. What if someone wants to murder us?"
After Su Wu listened, he nodded slowly.
"Even if we respond, it will make us give up our thoughts to the other party and be passive in this matter. After all, we don't know the other party at all!"
"Then now, let's just pretend we don't know anything and wait until we can't get out from the other side and come to us proactively!"
Su Wu asked tentatively, and Zhu Gaoying nodded.
"Well, when handling a case, we must pay attention to evidence. The Sichuan Third Division will definitely come in person after receiving my letter!"
This time should be tomorrow evening, and he will also conceal his itinerary.
At this moment, the sergeant who had gone out to deliver the letter suddenly knocked on Zhu Gaoyan's door, bowed, walked slowly to Su Wu, and whispered a few words in his ear.
Su Wu frowned at first, then quickly relaxed his brows, and his face showed joy.
"Your Majesty, I have good news here!"
"What news? Can you tell me?"
"Furthermore, there are several wealthy businessmen in the Southwest. One of them, Jia Xing's boss, and a boss named Nie are two of the biggest businessmen in the Southwest!"
"The two of them have now appeared in Pingshou County at the same time, and I heard that they have been staying in Pingshou County for many days!"
Two wealthy businessmen?
How could it be such a coincidence?
Could it be that they have noticed the counterfeit currency here a long time ago? Or are they also involved in the counterfeit currency?
These two people may hold important clues.
"And according to reliable information, just now, these two people died at the same time in Wangchun Tower?"
died?
Zhu Gaoyan, who was still doubting these two people at first, seemed to be plunged into doubt again after hearing the news.
How did these two wealthy businessmen die quietly in Pingshou County?
Wait a minute, have you heard anyone mention this Wangchun Tower before? That's right, when the innkeeper came in just now, he said that he spent last night in Wangchun Tower.
But how could Zhu Gaotian not see such an obvious lie? That man left in a hurry yesterday, looking flustered. How could he lose a place like Wangchun Tower?
Even if you are not in high spirits and full of spring scenery, you should still be in high spirits.
When the innkeeper left yesterday, he was obviously worried, as if he was worried about something bad.
Could it be that last night, the innkeeper met those two people in the city?
There is something wrong with this innkeeper!
"How did they die?"
Zhu Gaoyan asked immediately,
"According to rumors, it seems that he was killed by several prostitutes."
"I heard from others that this geisha seemed to be an oiran from somewhere else, and she happened to be met by two wealthy businessmen."
"As for the reason for the killings, we don't know yet, and the deaths of these two wealthy businessmen have also been concealed by the government!"
Speaking of this, Su Wu also thought of the inn's boss Lan, who seemed to have just returned from Wangchun Tower. Maybe he knew some information!
"Your Majesty, when General Hussar arrives with his men at night, do you need to secretly protect Boss Lan first?"
"Um!"
Zhu Gaoying nodded in agreement and gave additional instructions:
"I wish the death of the two wealthy businessmen was not an accident, but someone had planned it long ago!"
"Moreover, no matter what letters you receive in the future, do not make any response until the Sichuan Third Division brings people here!"
"At the same time, send someone to lurk around this inn secretly, and keep an eye on what's going on inside the county government office!"
Where did the owner of this inn go last night? Was it Wangchun Tower?
Zhu Gaotian didn't think so, so where did he go?
If this wealthy businessman was involved in minting counterfeit coins, then why were they killed?
What was the reason that made the innkeeper look flustered yesterday?
"I always feel that the government is behind this!"
"Your Majesty, what you are saying is that there is something wrong with Zhang Qixin?"
Zhu Gaoyan shook his head,
"It's not certain yet. Even if he doesn't have a problem, then there must be a problem with the people around him!"
"Of course, this is just a guess. Now you and I just need to relax and enjoy the mountains and rivers here. When the Sichuan Third Division comes over, they will be the ones to have a headache!"
