Perhaps due to the severe influence of Zhao Ziqiang, and the habit of barbecue by the grassland tribes, the people of Kyrgyzstan love skewers very much. In early April, a large number of open-air stalls appeared. The night market was more lively than the food street, which gave Zhao Guanren the idea to set up a barbecue. The urge to spread.
"Now I finally know the benefits of urban management. This is too unqualified..."
Lu Datou led the horse through the night market. The tables and chairs were almost placed in the middle of the road. They and the twenty royal guards were all dressed in ordinary clothes. In order not to alert the snakes, it was difficult to drive them away, so they could only sit in the crowd depressedly. Shuttle through the center.
"Sir! This way please..."
Jinyiwei Qianhu Shen Zhuo walked into a narrow alley. The man in his thirties was very calm and capable, and his skills were relatively strong. He was a second-grade Zhenguo. He was naturally unique in becoming Ye Jier's confidant.
"How could Zhang Tiansheng live in a place like this..."
Zhao Guanren came to the door of a small courtyard. It was just an ordinary courtyard. It was estimated that he could buy it for a few dozen taels of silver, but the epidemic prevention promotion was a fifth-rank official, so he would not be so depressed.
"Sir! Zhang Tiansheng is addicted to gambling. It is convenient to eat and drink here, and it is close to the casino..."
Shen Zhuo opened the door of the courtyard and asked him to enter. There were already guards secretly guarding the courtyard. As he walked, he said: "Of course there is another reason. There is a mix of fish and dragons here. It is not easy to attract attention when entering and exiting to entertain guests, and it is difficult to go out the back door. There is a brothel in the distance, no one can find it if you dive in there!"
"Listening to what you mean, I've already determined that he is a secret agent..."
Zhao Guanren kicked open the door and walked in. The main room was connected to the bedroom. A chair was overturned on the ground, unfinished food was also knocked over on the ground, there were two packages of unopened medicinal materials, and a white official uniform was draped on the chair. It looked like he was leaving in a hurry.
"Not only a spy, but a well-trained spy..."
Shen Zhuo walked to the table with an oil lamp and said: "This place looks like it was suddenly attacked and kidnapped in the middle of eating. However, the consumption of the food is wrong. The bowl of rice is almost at the bottom, and there are only two bones. There are no traces of rice scraping on the mouth of the bowl. This is a deliberate forgery!"
Zhao Guanren said: "Why can't it be forged by the murderer?"
"Zhang Tiansheng never eats at home, but he bought food from outside at noon yesterday..."
Shen Zhuo said: "We went to the drug store and asked. Zhang Tiansheng insisted that he had typhoid fever and took the medicine without letting the doctor check his pulse. Moreover, he went to the brothel every time he finished gambling and often stayed up all night, but he never took any medicine home. Women, even an old tidy-up woman doesn’t invite you, it’s so abnormal!”
"Actually, it's not abnormal at all. The Cunning Rabbit has three caves. This place is just a cover..."
Zhao Guanren touched the dust on the closet compartment and said: "Zhang Tiansheng must have raised a woman elsewhere, otherwise he would not even change his clothes. He chose to disappear at this point. He was just worried that I would cause trouble for him, so he deliberately hid Take a look, it’s 100% still hiding in the city!”
Shen Zhuo was stunned and said: "Look at it, is he hiding around here?"
"It's dark under the lamp! Even if he's not nearby, he will still leave his eyes nearby..."
Zhao Guanren said: "If a large number of Jinyi guards come after he disappears, it means that he is in big trouble. If only a few people come to take a look, he will pop out in two days, find an excuse to say that he fell ill somewhere, and continue to be a man. His promotion of epidemic prevention!”
"Then why don't we conduct a secret investigation nearby..."
Shen Zhuo looked at him seriously, and Zhao Guanren said in a low voice: "You are Chang Diji's confidant, and I won't hide it from you. This person may have corpse poison powder on his body. If it falls into the hands of the enemy, it will be over." , we must catch him as soon as possible, and we must not alert him!"
"I understand, I understand, but this person has a very strong sense of anti-tracking..."
Shen Zhuo frowned and said: "Zhang Tiansheng has no relatives or friends in Jinling. He goes to gambling houses and brothels almost every day. However, there is only one sister from the brothel who recognizes him. She also said that he does not come often. It is obvious that he is just using the brothel as a cover. If tonight If we can’t catch him, he might run away tomorrow!”
"Boss! Found something..."
Lu Datou suddenly walked in with someone, holding up a burnt matchbox and said: "I found it in the stove in the kitchen.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
This guy doesn't start a fire but he often burns things. But this kind of picture match is very rare. Can you see if it is produced by Shunguo?"
"This is the Twelve Hairpins of Jinling, a special gift from the Kyrgyz Republic. The character in the picture is Qin Keqing..."
Zhao Guanren took half of the matchbox and said: "These are long matches. There is a box in every commemorative edition of China. But Qin Keqing is the third prize. Go to Lanshuihe Trading House immediately and ask who is there." You redeemed Qin Keqing’s prize and took my waist card!”
"good!"
Lu Datou quickly took a belt card, took half a matchbox and took the people away. Zhao Guanren continued to search the courtyard and looked around the surrounding courtyards, but still found nothing.
"Boss! I figured it out..."
Lu Datou ran into the yard angrily and said: "The shopkeeper said that there are only 500 pieces of commemorative Chinese editions. When I got off the bus, I had someone pack 400 pieces for gifts, and the remaining 100 pieces were sold to regular customers. But Qin Keqing only redeemed three cards, all of which came from Gao Tianlin of Duke Dingguo’s Mansion!"
"Dingguo Duke's Mansion?"
Zhao Guanren said in surprise: "Who is this Duke Ding, and how can he be related to Zhang Tiansheng?"
"It belongs to no one. Duke Dingguo had his house confiscated and his family exterminated ten years ago. There is no longer Duke Dingguo..."
Shen Zhuo said awkwardly: "Ding Guo Gong's Mansion asked a merchant to buy it. He collected the original maids and several beautiful concubines, and then bought a group of girls and filled them in according to the original titles of wives and concubines. Because Ding Guo Gong's The mansion is famous for its many beauties, and it was very prosperous at that time, so many people came here to visit it!"
Zhao Guanren said in shock: "I'll go! It turns out to be a cosplay club!"
"Membership only! The membership fee is very expensive. I heard that just having money is not enough..."
Lu Datou smiled and said: "You must have at least a fourth-grade official as a guarantor before they can let you in. Once you get in, it's all up to you. It is said that you have to bribe servants first, pretend to be relatives, and build relationships step by step before you can steal people. Anyway, I heard It’s so exciting!”
"Shen Zhuo!"
Zhao Guanren asked: "Who is the backer of this place? You can't open a place like this without a background, and Zhang Tiansheng is only a fifth-rank official. Someone must be a guarantee for him. Can you get the list?"
"This place really cannot be conquered by force. It is the property of a national master who loves his disciples..."
Shen Zhuo whispered: "The Imperial Master's beloved disciple is called Ernan. He was responsible for the downfall of Duke Ding. I don't know the specific hatred. Anyway, the hatred is very deep. What he did is equivalent to whipping." The corpse will make Duke Dingguo’s family infamy for thousands of years!”
"I just met Ernan this morning. He is indeed a fake monk. Let's go over and have a look..."
Zhao Guanren went out without hesitation to get on the horse. Ernan was the gay boy among the three gay men. He still looked like a young man in his forties. He had a physical rejection of that guy, and the chrysanthemums were always unconscious. It's so irritating that it doesn't feel good at all.
Unexpectedly, this run was quite far, and it took more than forty minutes to arrive on horseback. I was almost out of Jinling City when I saw a large brightly lit garden in the distance. There were more than a dozen sedans and sedans parked at the door. The horse-drawn carriage and the aura of rich people are blowing towards your face.
"Zhou Mansion! It turns out it's not so blatant..."
When Zhao Guanren got to the intersection, he got off his horse and said, "Shen Zhuo! I'm afraid people will recognize this face. You and others will be stationed around to prevent Zhang Tiansheng from escaping after hearing the news. Send two strangers to follow me and pretend to be nursing homes. Let's take care of the hospital." Go ahead and put on your clothes!"
"yes!"
Shen Zhuo gave the order ably and sent only two of his men to follow Zhao Guanren. After a while, Zhao Guanren and Lu Datou put on long robes, each of them put on a black gauze webbed head, waving paper fans and pretending to be the young master.
"Walk!"
Zhao Guanren asked two royal guards to lead their horses and went straight to the door of "Dingguo Gongfu". There were six vermilion doors, two huge stone lions at the door, and four giant lanterns with the word "Zhou Mansion" on them, which were taller than a man. The size shows the lavishness of the year.
"Several young masters are visiting me at night, I don't know what they are doing..."
The concierge greeted him politely. Several servants and coachmen were bragging under the porch. Zhao Guanren walked up the steps, popped out a cigarette, handed it to the other party and said with a smile: "Who is Gao Tianlin?"
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
, an adult introduced me to him!"
"Haha~ Sir, you're welcome. The senior manager is not on duty tonight, but he lives not far ahead..."
The porter smiled and pointed in a direction, and Zhao Guanren led the horse forward in a leisurely manner. When he came to the door of a house, a woman happened to go out to pour water. He smiled and asked: "Sister! Gao Does the steward live here? A friend introduced us!"
"Here we are! The boss has a visitor..."
The woman led them directly into the courtyard, only to see a middle-aged man drinking in the main room. Hearing this, he put down his chopsticks and walked out.
"Hmph~"
Zhao Guanren took out a Jinyiwei Qianhu waist badge and said with a ferocious smile: "Gao Tianlin! Something happened to you, come with us!"
"Bang~"
Gao Tianlin slammed the door and wanted to run away. Zhao Guanren kicked the door open and stomped him to the ground. He pulled out his sword and said with a ferocious smile: "You still want to run away. I'm telling you, Ernan can't protect you even here today." , go in and search the house, and arrest whoever you see!"
"yes!"
The two royal guards rushed in aggressively. Lu Datou grabbed the panicked woman, pushed her onto the bed at the door, and sat on her back.
"Sir! You don't care about the villain. He drank too much and choked to death..."
Gao Tianlin knelt on the ground and said in horror: "The villain did what the master ordered. The master was afraid that someone would die in the house and cause trouble, so he asked me to clean it up and throw it into the carriage. He also did an autopsy on the body. It was indeed defiled. Choking to death, we didn’t seek wealth or death!”
"You thought it was a dead dog and it would be fine if you threw it away..."
Zhao Guanren put a knife on his neck and said: "If you don't tell the truth, you will be dead. I don't need to tell you the background of the deceased. When the time comes, there will be no evidence against your family. You will be the only one to take the blame. Your whole family will be blamed." Everyone, young and old, must be buried with him!"
"But we can't tell clearly anymore..."
Gao Tianlin lamented: "The Sixth Grandma gave him random tonics, and Mr. Huang suddenly foamed at the mouth. The Sixth Grandma asked me to pull him out quickly and send him to the hospital, but he died not long after getting on the carriage. I panicked and took him to the hospital."
He was thrown by the side of the mountain. I really wasn't the one to kill him!"
"It's either you or Grandma Six..."
Zhao Guanren asked condescendingly: "Let me ask you, who asked you to exchange the money for the three winning Qin Keqing match pictures?"
"Pictures?"
Gao Tianlin was stunned for a moment and then said hurriedly: "Oh! One card for the Second Young Mistress, and two sheets for the Sixth Grandma. The Sixth Grandma has the most regular customers and spends the most money on cigarettes and wine. The villain only gets an errand fee for redeeming the prize. Go and catch her.
Well, she often gives people blind medicine!"
"Cut the nonsense!"
Zhao Guanren slapped him with a steel knife and asked: "Does Zhang Tiansheng know who recommended him to come from Shunguo to prevent the epidemic? In whose house does he often spend the night?"
"Zhang Tiansheng has heard of it, but I don't recognize it..."
Gao Tianlin said inexplicably: "Zhang Tiansheng is a fifth-grade official and a defector from Shunguo. How can we let him come in to play? We can't give him money or his life!"
"After you redeemed the prizes, did you return the pictures to them? Did they give them away..."
Zhao Guanren looked at her seriously. Gao Tianlin thought for a while and then said: "To redeem the prize, you just need to stamp it. I got all the matchboxes back. I don't know if they were given to me. There are dozens of ladies and hundreds of maids in the Duke's mansion."
, that’s a lot of matches used in one day!”
"Do you have a guest list in your hand? Go get it for me..."
Zhao Guanren picked him up from the ground, but Gao Tianlin shook his head and said: "The list is in the hands of the eldest lady and the second young mistress. It contains the preferences and handles of many dignitaries. How can a villain dare to copy it privately? I am just a steward of the outer courtyard.
That’s all!”
"If I bring someone in to copy it, can I find it..."
Zhao Guanren knelt down and looked at him. Gao Tianlin shook his head and said, "You can't copy it. The Duke's Mansion is so big. Once any Jinyi guards break in, they will immediately destroy all the evidence. But... I can take you in to steal, but please
