Shendou Continent

Chapter 95
Dazhou, the Empire of Western Shu, is located in the northeast of Western Shu.

Apart from being located at the junction of the three empires, Saint Dou City actually has Eastern Zhou and Xiqu Kingdoms in the east and west, and mainly borders these two small vassal states. The southwest borders Xishu, and the southeast borders Guangchu.And Dazhou is located in Xishu, which is the closest Xishu prefecture to Saint Dou City, and also the closest prefecture to Saint Dou City among the three empires.Therefore, since the establishment of Saint Dou City, Dazhou people love to go to the city, and Dazhou people call it "Crossing the Northeast".Because of this, there are many Dazhou people in Saint Dou City, and naturally many people joined the temple.However, Xuan County is a poor county under the Dazhou Prefecture. The county seat is under the Grand Canyon of the Shu Mountains. There are seven mountains, two waters and one field, so it is difficult to feed the people. People in the county especially like to go to the northeast to find a way out.

According to legend, a hundred years ago, a sage from Xuan County became the cardinal of Saint Dou City.With the help of the local sages, people continued to achieve breakthroughs in their cultivation, and these people gradually took control of some important positions in the Holy See, which was passed down from generation to generation. Until the death of the sages, the Xuanxian talent gradually declined and returned to silence.But a lean camel is also bigger than a horse. This generation of Xuanxian people still has some talents. For example, Lu Yanfeng is one of the best, but others don't know it.As the pope's close attendant and a senior vassal, his status is naturally not low, and he has gradually become the leader of the new generation of township party in Xuan County, and many people in Xuan County only follow him.Because the Xuan County Township Party has declined nowadays, Lu Yanfeng claimed to be from Chengzhou, so the relationship between Xuan County and Dazhou was usually ignored.But with Boss Xu's clues, with the deepening of the investigation, this was also found out one by one.

Dazhou is about [-] miles away from Saint Dou City. It takes about eight or nine days for normal people to travel, but advanced fighters can save about half of the time. It is estimated that Lu Yanfeng may have gone to Dazhou by this time, or even Xuan County.A group of people investigated by the Holy See also set off for Dazhou immediately, led by a Metropolitan of the Temple, obviously ready to capture Lu Yanfeng at any time.Out of time considerations, Lu Jianyi equipped them with a blue-eyed spirit horse, which can reach Xuan County, Dazhou in about two days with a fast run.

While sending people to Dazhou, Elder Lu had someone summon the big treasurer of Shangqinzhuang, and had a detailed analysis of the accounts of Lu Yanfeng, Wu Yongyuan, Wu Ying and others with several cronies.This Shengdou City Shangqianzhuang is the branch of Ouyue Shangqianzhuang in Shengdou City. Ouyue Shangqianzhuang is an institution directly under the Ouyue court and manages money. It has the reputation of the Ouyue Empire and endorses it. Doucheng has a semicolon and has an excellent reputation.The circulation of goods and goods in the mainland is not smooth, and money can be circulated throughout the continent through banks, which is a method favored by the powerful and wealthy businessmen.All countries have their own money houses, but there are only three across the mainland, namely the Ouyue Shang Qian Bank, the Hanhai Nong Money Bank and the Nanling Zhao Money Bank.

When the deacon elders of the dignified temple summoned him, the big treasurer of Shangqianzhuang naturally did not dare to neglect. Although the bank had a confidentiality policy, the big treasurer had completely forgotten about it at this moment, and he knew everything about Lu Jianyi without saying anything.According to the accounts reviewed, during the ten years from [-] to [-] in the holy calendar, a large amount of money was deposited into Lu Yanfeng's account every year, and these ten years were the ten years when he gradually emerged in the Holy See. Year.

What is especially suspicious is that on the 25th of last month, Lu Yanfeng's account suddenly had [-] Ouyue gold coins, which is a huge sum of money.We must know that the salary of the Holy See is not high. Although Lu Yanfeng is a member of the Pope's close staff and is an archbishop, his monthly salary is only one thousand holy silver coins, which is equivalent to one thousand Ouyue silver coins or one hundred Ouyue gold coins, and [-] Ouyue gold coins are equivalent. Regarding Lu Yanfeng's salary of [-], this cannot but attract attention.Although the senior figures of the Holy See do not only have salaries on the surface, such a huge sum of money is still very suspicious, not to mention that this deposit occurred three days before the Awakening Day incident, and the transaction has obvious implications.

And judging from Lu Yanfeng's situation in the past ten years, it's probably not the first time he has received such ill-gotten money.According to the laws of the Holy See, corruption or bribery should be severely punished.Then his sudden disappearance might be easy to explain. It must be that Lu Yanfeng was not righteous and had been corrupted for a long time. Perhaps he was also lured into the water by a certain faction of the Holy See.Lu Jian's rectification of the Holy See is not only to deal with the Fang and Huang factions, but also to clean up corruption. The Lu family is probably afraid of being investigated, so under the instigation of one of the factions, they take money to do things, and then prepare to get away with it.But Li Jia seemed to know something, and was met by Lu Yanfeng through Wu Yongyuan and silenced at night.And Lu Yanfeng didn't escape at that time, probably because the behind-the-scenes order had not been completed, and the assassination on the second day was probably the content of the [-] gold deal.

Wu Yongyuan's situation is similar, except that he doesn't have as much money as Lu Yanfeng.Wu Ying didn't see much here. Although he had some income that didn't match his salary, he had joined the Huang faction, so it was hard to guarantee that he wouldn't have other livelihoods.It is worth noting that the money of Lu and Wu has already been withdrawn in the form of bank notes through Shangqinzhuang. Take the banknotes away.Obviously, the two should have fled separately after the incident involved.

Soon, the investigators of the fire case in the west of the city integrated the information obtained by Lu Jianyi and made progress.The shop waiter was originally an orphan, and he was alone in Saint Dou City, and he was carefully selected to arrange for him to set fire.According to the investigation, the shop boy is fond of gambling, and has been chasing gambling debts for a long time, and he can't live in peace. The people from the city patrol camp helped settle the debts. As for why the people from the city patrol camp did this, their claims are naturally not credible, but this But it is very good to connect the Xunchengying.And what's even more suspicious is that Xunchengying didn't mention anything about helping Xiao Er settle his gambling debts during the preliminary investigation.And the head of Huajing who died in the Xuncheng camp was said to have secretly reported to the Holy See that the commander Shen Yifei was greedy for ink. There is no impenetrable wall in the world. His death seems to be accidental, but it is also inevitable.Killing him can not only rationally eliminate Shen Yifei's thorn in the side, but also find an excuse for Lu Yanfeng to get away, killing two birds with one stone, and his intentions are not without viciousness.

Based on the recent information from all parties, Lu Jianyi and the others made a total calculation, and the whole link suddenly became clear.The fire at the festival must have been a deliberate conspiracy by the two factions. The subsequent murder of Li Jia was just an interlude, but it also allowed them to obtain their own badges, which directly promoted the next step of the Holy City assassination.This serial poisonous scheme of killing people with a knife, one link after another, step by step, gradually deepens, and when the time is ripe, it will hit the vital point directly. It is really poisonous and spicy.Its purpose is nothing more than two: one is to trap him ineffectively and cause dissatisfaction with the Pope.This was evident after the festive fire. Several people attacked him at the government affairs meeting of the Holy See Temple, and more than one person.If it wasn't for Qian Qianji's two palace masters who insisted on finding out the truth before dealing with it, the Pope might have condemned him immediately.Therefore, recently, he has not dared to make any new moves in terms of personnel.The second is to let Lu Yanfeng escape, while helping him escape, they can also carry out their next move, which is to assassinate the Lu family members and give him a warning to the deacon elder.

If the cheese of the vested interests is touched, someone must counterattack, and Lu Jianyi should have thought of it. "Lu Jianyi, don't challenge our bottom line." Zhang Yi's words that day also echoed in his ears again.

The situation is generally clear, the festival fire case, Li Jia's murder case, and the holy city assassination case are actually the same case, and the witness and material evidence for the joint investigation has gradually improved, and the only thing left is to capture Lu Yanfeng and Wu Yongyuan.

While Lu Jianyi and the others were busy collecting and analyzing clues to the case in Saint Dou City, on the other side, the metropolitan who rushed to Dazhou also made significant progress.
