At the end of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 395 Dog Food
The wreckage of the three-story ship that sank in the canal was salvaged, but it was completely invisible, it was covered with mud, and the wooden boards were soaked and changed color, but it can still be seen from some places. It can be judged that this is a new ship.

"Director Qing, there are not many large shipyards that can build three-story ships, and this forecastle ship is still new, so it shouldn't be difficult to find out the source." The deacon Sun Shangming didn't understand, the assassin had already reported his name, Why did Director Qing want to investigate the forecastle ship? However, since Director Qing wants to investigate, let's do it, it's not too much trouble anyway.

Yang Qingruo was dressed in green clothes, still covered with a green veil, gracefully, nodded and said: "Donglai Shipyard is the closest, so let's check from Donglai Shipyard. In addition, in the nearby counties, who owns a three-story boat?" Everything has to be checked out."

Although the assassins have already reported their names, they are the two groups of thieves Li Zitong and Du Fuwei, but if Yang Qing does not believe that these two groups of thieves can come up with a three-story boat, of course, if it is stolen It's another matter, this matter must be investigated thoroughly, and all local tyrants who may support the rebels behind their backs must be found out, so that future troubles can be avoided.

Sun Shangming respectfully said: "This subordinate takes orders... Hey, Gao Lang is coming!"

Yang Qingruo turned her head and looked, and she saw someone standing not far away with a smile on her horse, and when she saw her coming, she waved her hand.Yang Qingruo's pretty face was slightly hot, and she whispered a few words to Deacon Sun, then jumped on her horse and went up to Gao Bufan.

"Master Detective, did it hinder your investigation?" Gao Bufan asked with a smile.

Yang Qingruo asked angrily, "What do you think?"

"Oh, I understand, I get it, it will disappear immediately." Gao Bufan said and made a gesture to turn the horse's head.

Yang Qingruo stretched out her jade palm and called out, "Qingyun is here."

The big green horse immediately ran over as if listening to the sound of a fairy, and then stretched out its tongue to lick the handful of refined salt on Yang Qingruo's palm with relish. It was obviously a horse, but its movements were very dog!
Gao Bufan couldn't help scolding: "Food, it's really worthless to support you. It's really shameful to let such a seller save your glory with just a handful of refined salt."

The big green horse shook his head and snorted dissatisfiedly, as if to refute.

Yang Qingruo gave someone a blank look, and gently patted the head of the big green horse to comfort him, then took out an exquisite small porcelain, and sprinkled a layer of crystal clear salt on the palm of his hand, the big green horse's eyes lit up again, Lick it with great enjoyment.

The ancient salt-making technology is still relatively backward, and it is obtained by boiling. Therefore, most of the common people eat coarse salt, and such refined fine salt cannot be afforded by ordinary people.

Gao Bufan looked at the big green horse's tongue enviously, and said to himself naturally: "It's cheap for you, I haven't even licked this little hand, your master."

Yang Qingruo blushed immediately, even though she was wearing a veil, she was still unbelievably beautiful, so she tried to do two-finger Zen again, but someone stuffed a bag of steamed buns into the room as quickly as lightning. In her hand, she said with a smile: "My lord, calm down, eat it while it's hot, don't you have to eat breakfast when investigating a case?"

Yang Qingruo snorted softly, took out a meat bun, lifted the veil and took a bite lightly, feeling a hint of sweetness in her heart.

Gao Bufan also took the opportunity to reach out and take a meat bun from the paper bag in Yang Qingruo's hand, and asked casually while eating, "Qingruo, have you found out what's going on?"

Yang Qingruo shook her head and said, "Not yet, but there are not many such three-story ships, so it shouldn't be difficult to find out."

Gao Bufan nodded, and changed the topic: "How is the emperor's mood these days?"

Yang Qingruo glanced at Gao Bufan: "Why do you ask this?"

"Just ask!" Gao Bufan finished the meat bun in two or three mouthfuls, and wanted to get another one, but Yang Qingruo slapped the back of his hand lightly, and said angrily, "Are you bringing breakfast to others, or are you here to grab it?"

Gao Bufan said confidently: "I'm here to have breakfast with you, Mr. Manager."

Yang Qingruo's face was slightly hot, and he quickly took a meat bun and stuffed it into someone's mouth, and said in a low voice: "The emperor cut a concubine who was sleeping with a sword last night, if you want to take advantage of it I begged Gao Shilian for the merits, I advise you to give up your heart, now even the empress does not dare to offend the emperor."

Gao Bufan's heart sank slightly. He really had such a plan, because Yang Guang had ordered the arrest of those people who had received Yang Xuangan's relief a few days ago. said.

But it's no wonder that Yang Guang withdrew his troops from Goguryeo and went back to rescue Luoyang. He was already full of murderous intent, but he was assassinated and injured on the way. Who dares to touch him?

Seeing Gao Bufan's "dejected" appearance, Yang Qingruo felt a little sour, but couldn't bear it more, and said softly: "You don't have to worry, there is nothing wrong with the letters between Gao Shilian and Hu Sizheng, at most they are official documents. Some words of flattery should not be life-threatening, but if you plead for him, it will cause the emperor's displeasure, so it is better to wait and see what happens."

Hearing the words, Gao Bufan was refreshed, reached out his hand to hold Yang Qingruo's jade wrist, bit the half-eaten meat bun in his hand, and said with a pouty smile: "Qingruo, thank you, it smells so good!"

Two peach blossoms flew up on Yang Qingruo's cheeks, she was ashamed and angry, and wanted to punish him, but someone had already fled away.

"Bastard, don't run if you have the guts!" Yang Qingruo gritted his teeth and rode his horse to chase after him. The two chased one after the other and ran away.

Deacon Sun was stunned, and he came back to his senses after a while, and found that the other Fei Yus present had similar expressions to his own, as if he had eaten dog food, so he coughed lightly and scolded: "What are you doing in a daze, you shouldn't Don't look at it, what should you do!"

The group of Feiyu guards turned their eyes away and continued to work. Sun Shangming glanced worriedly at the two people who disappeared in the distance. This was the first time she had seen Director Qing showing such a young daughter form.

"Deacon Sun!" Sun Shangming was distracted when she heard someone calling her from behind. She turned around and said in surprise, "When did Deacon Xiao come?"

It turned out that Xiao Jian was standing behind Sun Shangming at this time. He had been in charge of arresting Yang Xuangan's remnant party in Luoyang, and his sudden appearance here was beyond Sun Shangming's expectation.

Xiao Jian didn't answer, but turned around and circled around the wreckage of the sunken ship, and asked, "Have you found whose ship it is?"

Sun Shangming shook his head: "It is still under investigation. Among the nearby counties, only Donglai County can build this kind of three-story ship. I am planning to send people to Donglai Shipyard to investigate."

Xiao Jian nodded and said: "The direction is right, but there is one thing I wonder if Deacon Sun knows?"

"what's up?"

Xiao Jian's eyes flashed and he said: "It is said that the Qinghe Cui family has a newly built three-story boat, but it was burned down by a group of thieves from Gaojibo who came to loot it a few days ago."

Sun Shangming's heart moved, and he blurted out: "That's too coincidental."

"It's really a coincidence!" Xiao Jian said lightly.

"Deacon Xiao suspects that the Cui family of Qinghe has something to do with this matter?"

Xiao Jian nodded and said: "It is reasonable to doubt, but this matter has to be based on evidence. I have investigated it, and it happened on the night the emperor was assassinated, and many people in Tobu City County witnessed it with their own eyes. Cui's warehouse and that The bow and new ships were all set on fire by the thieves."

Sun Shangming frowned and asked, "Is it only the Cui family's boat that was burned?"

Xiao Jian shook his head and said: "That's not true, many boats on the pier were burned."

"That is to say, the thieves didn't only target the Cui family, this matter is indeed just a coincidence?"

Xiao Jian asked back: "Deacon Sun, do you believe it's a coincidence?"

Sun Shangming nodded and said: "Why don't you believe it, the Qinghe Cui family is probably not stupid enough to use a three-story boat with a distinctive bow to block the dragon boat, unless they are impatient."

Xiao Jian nodded and said: "That's right, I'm just guessing, by the way, will Gao Lang be with Chief Qing every day during this time?"

Sun Shangming frowned and said, "Deacon Xiao, it seems that this is not your responsibility?"

Xiao Jian nodded and said indifferently: "That's because I asked too much, and I disturbed Deacon Sun, so I will leave." After speaking, he drove straight away.

A trace of displeasure flashed in Sun Shangming's eyes, and at the same time, he was a little puzzled. He didn't know about the Qinghe Cui family, how did Xiao Jianyuan know about it in Luoyang? Could it be that he had arrived long ago, but he just didn't show up?
