Niu Shilang was furious, and Niu Huilan cried more and more sadly.
Sha Wuliang said: "The younger one has just arrived. This matter needs to be investigated in detail."
Niu Shilang scolded: "The fifth-rank official of the imperial court was burned to death. If this matter is not investigated clearly, I will go to the front line to complain to the emperor."
Sha Wuliang thought to himself: Go to the front line to complain? Aren't you afraid of being left on the front line to die?
"Young man must find out as soon as possible and give an explanation to the adults."
Sha Wuliang dealt with it carefully, and Niu Qianren got angry. Seeing that the house was almost burned and his daughter had no place to live, he immediately arranged for people to move all the things that could be moved. Niu Huilan followed her back to her parents' home.
The people from the garrison office investigated the scene for a long time, but found nothing useful.
"Boss, a fire has completely burned it. Only half of the corpses are left unburned. There are no clues at all."
The detective was in a difficult situation, so Sha Wuliang said: "Find the thieves in the city and ask who did it. If something is stolen, it must be sold."
This is also a way to investigate the case. Start with the stolen goods and ask those habitual criminals if they know anything about it.
Of course, this is Sha Wuliang's fooling around.
"What to do with Wan Langzhong's body?"
The subordinate asked as he looked at the half-cut body.
Sha Wuliang said: "What can we do? Mr. Niu will not collect the body himself."
After saying that, Sha Wuliang left with the people.
After the officers and soldiers left, the onlookers poured into the house and rummaged around, and many found valuable things.
Wan Heshan's parents have passed away, and his relatives don't move around. Niu Shilang doesn't care, and neither does anyone else. The half-body remains lying among the ashes.
When Sha Wuliang returned to the garrison, Xiang Ji was busy. After lunch, Sha Wuliang went in to report.
"The house was almost burned down. The fire started in the study. The servants said they heard the sound of thieves in the study. Wan Langzhong was burned to death in the study."
"The Forbidden Army arrived one step ahead of us. The scene has been turned over and no useful clues can be found."
"From what the servant said, it may be that a thief entered the study to steal and was broken into by Wan Langzhong. The thieves attacked Wan Langzhong and then set the house on fire."
Sha Wuliang said it was a case of thieves killing people and stealing goods.
After Xiang Ji heard this, he didn't pay much attention. Today's Jinling City is in chaos, with murders and arson happening from time to time.
"I understand, how about King Wu'an?"
Xiang Ji was most concerned about Li Zhaoliang's rebellion, and nothing else mattered.
Sha Wuliang said: "It's no different from usual. Huairen hasn't been to the palace recently. I think I might have frightened him last time."
Xiang Ji nodded slightly and said, "It's possible that they will do things more secretly and continue to keep an eye on them."
"You should pay special attention to the fact that rebellion requires soldiers and horses. See if there are any hidden military camps around Jinling."
Xiang Ji thought that Li Zhaoliang would secretly raise private soldiers, just like Li Chengdao did back then.
Sha Wuliang bowed and said, "Young man, take your orders."
Xiang Ji waved his hand and Sha Wuliang exited the back office.

Wu'an Prince's Mansion.
Liao Houqi hurried into the backyard pavilion, where Li Zhaoliang was drinking tea.
"My lord, something almost happened last night."
Liao Houqi had just returned from Qijia Liquor Shop. Yu Fuguo told him what happened last night. Liao Houqi was so frightened that he broke out in cold sweat.
"What's wrong?"
Li Zhaoliang asked in surprise.
When Liao Houqi told him the whole story, Li Zhaoliang was so frightened that his hair stood on end and said in a trembling voice: "This Huairen is so careless in doing things, does he want to kill me?"
Liao Houqi also felt scared and said: "Fortunately, Sha Wuliang stopped Wanhe Mountain, otherwise it would have been over."
Li Zhaoliang felt lucky and said: "I looked down on Sha Wuliang at first and thought he was an unknown official who was of great use at a critical moment."
Liao Houqi echoed: "Yu Fuguo once controlled the Imperial City Division, and he used people to
My vision is still accurate.”
Li Zhaoliang nodded and said: "Tell Huairen not to act rashly and obey Yu Fuguo's command."
Liao Houqi left and was about to send a message when a maid stood in the distance with a greeting card in her hand.
"Eunuch Liao, someone just sent in a greeting card, saying it was for the prince."
Liao Houqi accepted the call, and the greeting card read Wu Mingshi.
Liao Houqi immediately guessed that the name was fake and meant Anonymous.
Opening the greeting card, there is a simple sentence inside: Tomorrow at noon, among the apricot blossoms in Cuiyun Tower.
Cuiyun Tower is a famous restaurant in Jinling City, where dignitaries like to go.
Xinghuajian means Xinghua box.
"Is that person still there?"
Liao Houqi asked if the person who sent the greeting card was there, and the maid said: "He's gone. He sent the greeting card and left."
Liao Houqi asked the maid to step aside, then went back to the pavilion in the backyard and presented the greeting card.
"Your Majesty, someone sent me a greeting card. It says Cuiyun Tower Xinghuajian."
After Li Zhaoliang saw it, he asked strangely: "Do you know who sent it?"
Liao Houqi shook his head and said: "The person left, and it said Wu Mingshi on it, obviously hiding his identity."
Li Zhaoliang took the greeting card and couldn't make up his mind. Who was the person who sent the greeting card? Could it be a trap?
"Give the invitation to Yu Fuguo and let him see what to do with it."
"Go to Yufu State first, and then go to Huairen to deliver the order."
Li Zhaoliang handed back the greeting card, and Liao Houqi immediately went out to Qijia Liquor Shop.
Sha Wuliang and Liu Lan joined the gang, and the people from the arrest house and Wuhou Yamen no longer monitored the Wu'an Palace.
When they arrived at the wine shop, Liao Houqi went upstairs. Yu Fuguo and Long Chen were in the room.
"This is a greeting note I just received. The prince asked Mr. Yu to deal with it."
After Yu Fuguo opened it and looked at it, he said, "Let's take a trip to see who this person is."
Liao Houqi He stood up and said, "Your Majesty has other missions. I'll leave first."
Liao Houqi left immediately and Yu Fuguo closed the door.
"My lord, what do you think?"
Yu Fuguo asked Long Chen what he meant.
Long Chen said: "I can't guess who it is, I'll find out when I go there."
There are too many people in Jinling City, and Long Chen is not a fortune teller. He can't guess it just based on a greeting card.
Yu Fuguo said: "I'll let someone go explore the road first."
Long Chen agreed to send people to explore the road, as this would be safer.
"Get ready for tonight, I want to go out."
Long Chen ordered Yu Fuguo to prepare immediately.
Liao Houqi came out of the liquor store and quietly went to Huairen's residence.
After entering the house, Huairen came out to greet him, with scars on his face.
"Is Master Huai okay?"
Liao Houqi asked in surprise.
Huairen smiled shamefully and said, "It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. Please come in, father-in-law."
The two entered the study, and Huairen asked, "Is it the prince's fault?"
Huairen probably guessed that Liao Houqi came to the door.
Liao Houqi's face turned cold and he said: "The prince said that Master Huai was too aggressive in doing things. If Sha Wuliang hadn't stopped him in time, we would have been beheaded and the nine clans would be wiped out!"
Huairen was sweating like rain, and said: "I did something wrong, and the prince taught me the right thing."
Liao Houqi said earnestly: "Sir Huai, this is a big deal. If you do it well, I will rise to great heights. If you do it badly, I will die without a complete body."
"My lord, all your actions in the future must be discussed with Yu Fuguo. He is at Qijia Liquor Shop."
Huairen looked down on Yufu Country in his heart, but Yufu Country was really powerful and Huairen did not dare to be careless again.
"I remember."
After Liao Houqi finished speaking, he left immediately.
After they left, a servant of the family came back and Huairen asked: "How is the matter?"
