Start with detective Li Yuanfang

Chapter 658 Mingzun taught me three thousand coins, I take Mingzun to teach a chamber of commerce, isn't it too much?

"Mr. Lin really has eyes, this Pei Xuan looks inconspicuous, but he is really capable!"

Gao Qiu tasted the scented tea, showing the color of victory: "He presides over the trial, and finally found out the insider beside Mrs. Cui. It is a maid named Lingniang. She has long been a member of the Houjiang Guild, and she has also learned how to do it. It's really vicious to try to curse Lady Cui to death with a spell, if we hadn't gone to Fanlou that night, this well-known prostitute would have died..."

Ding Run squeezed his eyebrows: "Then this red card lady, don't give up on Gao Ti, why don't you take a concubine?"

In front of the two of them, Gao Qiu had no scruples in speaking: "I am someone who wants to be a high official in the future. It would be too embarrassing to take a prostitute home as a concubine. Let's forget it. Judge Ding doesn't think about it... Ah, I didn't mean that!"

Ding Run didn't take it seriously: "The point of the high point is that I can't be a high-ranking official? Tsk, I don't seem to be able to be a high-ranking official! But I don't care about taking concubines. I don't want to leave a hole. It's not fun to do anything..."

Gao Qiu wondered: "Judge Ding's words are so strange, how can marrying a wife and taking concubines be a flaw?"

Ding Run chuckled and closed his mouth.

Li Yan asked, "How is Madam Cui's health now?"

Gao Qiu said: "Doctor An has treated her and adjusted her qi and blood. From the looks of it, she should be all right?"

Hearing his lack of confidence in An Daoquan in his tone, Li Yan explained: "A good fighter has no great achievements. My medical skills are very effective. It seems to be brilliant, but in fact it is not as good as An Daoquan in terms of medical science. Let him take care of Mrs. Cui's body." , I am relieved, but you must pay attention to safety, and be careful that Ming Zun teaches the thieves to take risks."

Gao Qiu still didn't quite understand why this man treated patients quickly and well, but he said that his medical skills were not as good as that of An Daoquan who gave needles slowly, but he nodded and said, "Don't worry, we will definitely take care of such an important witness."

Li Yan was worried, but it was impossible to keep an eye on everything. Ding Run asked, "The maid, Ling Niang, can you identify the young master Ye Yanzhi?"

Gao Qiu said coldly: "No, she also doesn't know that spells are a method taught by Ming Zun, but it's a bit troublesome."

Ding Run frowned and said, "If we can only confirm the murder of Mrs. Cui, but not Ming Zunjiao, then it is obviously impossible for this small crime to be arrested by the whole guild. It must be specific to important people, and then Expand to the entire guild."

Gao Qiu said: "I think so too. Fortunately, now Ling Niang confessed that there were indeed people who deliberately killed these famous prostitutes. The official prostitutes who disappeared before did not run away privately, but were murdered by thieves. This matter is very important. Once it is found out , enough to convict the General Chamber of Commerce!"

Li Yanning said: "But the reason why this case has not been investigated is that on the one hand, the status of the prostitutes is humble. Even if they are very popular, once they pass away, no one will pay attention to them. There are too few people who really care about whether they are missing or killed. On the other hand, Fan Lou's power suppressed all these scandals."

Gao Qiu showed apprehension: "Yes, if we investigate the disappearance of these official prostitutes, it will inevitably involve Fan Lou. This is really troublesome, why don't I talk to the shopkeeper?"

Ding Run shook his head: "It's not very useful to talk about it. Fan Lou was originally the clubhouse of the Guild of the Veterinary Industry. He was naturally close to the Guild of General Hou and was good at making friends with powerful people. He offended it last time he took people. This time we have to After investigating the disappearance of the prostitute, there is no room for relaxation..."

Gao Qiu snorted coldly: "Then let's do it, the same sentence, I can't make it close the door directly, but I can make it open unhappy!"

Li Yandao: "The key is to find out that the disappearance of the official prostitute is the outrageous thing Ming Zun taught the thieves to practice evil methods, so that they can be famous."

Gao Qiu thought for a while: "Let Pei Xuan go out. He is a capable person. He is not afraid of outside disturbances and concentrates on investigating the case. I appreciate it."

Ding Run said quietly: "Such a person, I am afraid it will be difficult to survive for a long time!"

This is correct, Pei Xuan is also one of the [-] generals, ranked forty-seventh in the original plot, he is a star of the earth, he was born as an official in his early years, and later served as the sixth case Kongmu, who is He Gongsun Zhao's friend Qiu Shou is a position, although it is just a servant, but it is the chief official who handles the case, in charge of prison proceedings, accounts, dispatch and other affairs, and has a lot of power.

However, this man was upright and had an "iron face". Other officials in the officialdom of the Song Dynasty couldn't bear it. He was persecuted and turned into a bandit.

It is very appropriate to arrange this position according to his personality, but thinking about the environment in Liangshan, where Li Kui makes mistakes all day long, Song Jiang always scolds verbally, and he can't even do small punishments, let alone big warnings. The so-called rewards and punishments for meritorious deeds are just decorations for appearance.

Now that the Department of the Imperial City is dealing with punishing rape and eradicating evil, Li Yan hoped that Pei Xuan could play a role. After the matter was arranged, he asked again: "Have you completed the investigation on the information about the thick general's guild?"

Gao Lian was a little embarrassed: "I did send my men to investigate carefully, but so far, they are all superficial."

"It's okay!"

Li Yan took a sorted case record, flipped through it a few times, and understood everything: "According to the current investigation, the main business of the Houjiang Guild is papermaking, inkmaking and printing. It’s hard to say what industry, but the main body is culture and education, so there should be no problem.”

He initially thought that the word "thick general" came from the "thick general wins the crowd" in "Zheng Boke Duan Yuyan", which means that the land will be expanded and will be supported by the people. Such a name is naturally related to real estate. Mainly, I found out later that this guild is engaged in culture and education.

Because of this, it is actually very difficult, Li Yan looked a little solemn: "This is very troublesome..."

Gao Qiu was puzzled: "What does Mr. Lin mean by this? These industries are not banned commodities, so what's the trouble for us to take them down?"

Li Yandao: "Taking the printing industry as an example, as early as the Warring States period, printing technology had already taken shape, but the printing technology at that time was small in scale. , now can be said to be the most prosperous period for the development of the printing industry.”

"If it weren't for the development of the printing industry, there would be no way to open so many academies in various places. The former Tang Dynasty just wanted to promote culture and education, and there were no such conditions. Naturally, there was strong support from the imperial court."

Gao Qiu and Ding Run nodded when they thought of his Suian Academy.

Li Yan continued: "Just like the printing industry, papermaking and inkmaking are also necessary industries for the prosperity of culture and education. The imperial court's support for them is inseparable from the attitude of governing the country with literature. In essence, it is to enhance the status of literati."

"Under the implementation of this policy, the importance of these industries is closely related to the country's destiny. Compared with tea, iron, salt, and wine, which are banned commodities monopolized by the government, the imperial court has little attention to papermaking, ink making, and printing. There are restrictions, which give the private chambers of commerce huge room to utilize."

"I'm sure that not only the Houjiang Guild, but also the six major chambers of commerce have dabbled in this area, but according to this case record, the Houjiang Guild ranks No. One, he is the leader in this industry.”

Ding Run understood: "Because this industry is the most important industry besides banned commodities, the other five major chambers of commerce will rush forward when they see an opportunity, and the Imperial City Division can't scare them!"

Li Yan nodded: "That's right, if it's just a few main restaurants, some shops, and other big guilds, no matter how hot they are, they might retreat under the majesty of the Imperial City Secretary, but it's related to the cultural and educational disputes. They won't go back."

"Fortunately, the five major chambers of commerce must be in harmony with each other. Everyone wants to be monopolized, and they don't want to be succeeded by others. They fought fiercely, which gave General Hou a chance to breathe."

At this point in the analysis, Li Yan looked at Gao Qiu: "Tell me a little bit, about the head of the meeting, Ye Jichang, how is the investigation going on with this person?"

Gao Qiu was even more embarrassed: "I didn't go too deep, but according to the understanding of other businessmen, this person has always acted viciously, especially when he was against his business opponents, sometimes they lost for no reason. As time passed, no one dared to provoke him , of course everyone now knows that he is in collusion with Wuyoudong, and actually has a deep connection with Mingzun Sect..."

Li Yan frowned slightly: "This kind of pure guessing is beyond count!"

He has been paying attention to the situation in the prison since he sent Shishi in. Judging from the current development of the prison, which is full of talents and happy, the possibility of Shaodong's family is extremely high.

This plan is successful, and it can affect the entire Houjiang Guild, but it is hard to say who will get the final benefits. Li Yan is interested in culture and education, so naturally he doesn't want to work hard to marry other businessmen. clothes.

He sighed softly: "The root cause is that we are too slow. Not only is military speed important, but many competitions are actually about speed. If you are faster than others, you will succeed. On the contrary, if you are a small step slower, you will miss it." , nothing!"

If it was the inner guard of the Tang Dynasty, the night when Shaodong's family, Mrs. Cui and his party were brought into the prison, the maid Ling Niang would have been found out, and then it would be logical to start investigating the murdered and missing official prostitutes. I am afraid that the third step has already been carried out , and found out the details of the first Ye Jichang of the thick general guild.

It's been seven days, and the first step has just been taken. The efficiency is simply sky-high. In addition, there are so many people staring at this piece of fat, Li Yan really feels that he can't move the Imperial City Secretary.

Ding Run fell silent, and Gao Qiu's cheek muscles twitched violently, but he asked, "Mr. Lin, what should we do now?"

After pondering for a while, Li Yan said: "I want to contact a foreign aid, and at the same time, I have to share part of the proceeds from the ransacking."

Gao Qiu hurriedly said: "That's no problem, as long as you can take down that thick general chamber of commerce, you should give up some!"

Li Yan smiled peacefully: "Ask Gao Ti to borrow some people to solve a problem. In my Sui'an Medical Center, there are shopkeepers and associates who have been greedy for three thousand coins. According to observations during this period, they It is very likely that it has something to do with the Mingzun Sect..."

"Mingzun taught me three thousand guan, I took Mingzun to teach a chamber of commerce, this may be the karma of karma that Buddhism talks about!"
