Demon detective

Chapter 136
For Xu Zhen, this was really a surprise.

According to speculation, when Xu Zhen suspected that Wei Yulang bribed the county magistrate Chen Houlu, Chen Houlu must have mentioned his importance to Wei Yulang.

Thus, Wei Yulang finally understood that the downfall of the three bullies had a lot to do with him.

Even Chen Houlu obeyed his advice, so...if Xu Zhen wants to bring down Wei Yulang, wouldn't it be a matter of minutes?

After understanding this principle, Wei Yulang's performance was not "excessive".

Under the guise of promotion, he gave such a high-profile gift to Xu Zhen, just to let outsiders know that he and Xu Zhen are sworn brothers and have a deep relationship.

In this way, Xu Zhen naturally can no longer play Wei Yulang's idea, because to do Wei Yulang is to do him.

interesting……

Through those piles of gifts, Xu Zhen could see how panicked Wei Yulang was.

However, although he was able to see through him, Xu Zhen had no choice but to accept these small gifts "helplessly".

For one thing, although Wei Yulang has an extreme personality and has committed crimes, he is not as heinous as Qiu Zhennong and Cui Xiaotian.

The common people listed him as the first of the four bullies, mainly because he was too rich and had no real hatred.

Secondly, Wei Yulang's background comes from the government, and my uncle is still the captain of Songzhou who holds military power, so he cannot be broken.

Thirdly, although Xu Zhen's status has improved, he still needs a backer like Wei Yulang.Especially if he wants to strive for the top in the future, then Wei Yulang can still provide him with help.

As for the fourth point, Wei Yulang can also provide Xu Zhen with the function of money laundering.

When everyone knew that Wei Yulang was his sworn brother, then it would all become logical for Xu Zhen to spend the "cellar money" he got from Qiu Batian, and his status as a nouveau riche would not arouse suspicion.

Soon, four servants were sent to Xu Zhen's house, a maid, a mother, a servant, and a cook.

Xu Zhen felt that the faces of these four people were all familiar, especially the servant sent here was A Sheng from Wei Yulang's residence.

It seems that Wei Yulang directly lent his servants to Xu Zhen.

What's more, Wei Yulang personally sent the four of them here, and told them to work hard in front of Xu Zhen. If they dare not listen to Xu Zhen, they will be served by family law.

Of course, the four of them promised again and again, and hurried to meet Xu Zhen and Mrs. Xu Youmeng.

"Hahaha, dear brother," Wei Yulang said, pointing to the dilapidated eaves of Xu Zhen's house, "I've asked Lao Liu to find someone to repair the house and tidy up the garden. You don't have to worry about it. I promise to find the best craftsmen for all of them. .

"Just ask what you want. If you think this house is too old, just tear it down and rebuild it!"

"Then thank you Wei Sicheng." Xu Zhen thanked.

"Hey?" Wei Yulang pretended to be angry, "Is it not too far to be called Wei Sicheng? We are brothers! Hehe..."

Wei Yulang's face was flushed red and full of smiles, he had long since lost the arrogance and arrogance of the past.

"Then..." Xu Zhen pointed to the living room, "Let's talk in the back room, brother."

"Okay, dear brother, please!"

After being polite, the two came to the living room.

Wei Yulang retreated, Xu Zhen also dismissed Youmeng, and only then did we get to the point.

"Brother Wei," Xu Zhen said, "there are four or five people on the list. I have never seen them before, and the information you gave is not very detailed. Look... can you invite them to your residence and let me see them?" Woolen cloth?"

"Ah..." Wei Yulang sighed, and said, "I've already looked for them. Those people are all Hu merchants from the Western Regions, and they are not in the Central Plains. Besides, I only did business with them once or twice, and they have long since ceased business." got in touch."

"Oh..." Xu Zhen frowned thoughtfully.He felt that if there was not much intersection, the suspicion of those few people did not seem to be too great.

"Don't make things difficult," Wei Yulang said hastily, "This matter is considered a family scandal. If you can't find it, forget it!"

A typical double standard, that's not what Wei Yulang said before.

"This man has sinister intentions," Xu Zhen said, "he is the chief culprit who harmed Miss San. If he is not caught, he will definitely harm others in the future."

"But..." Wei Yulang frowned, "We have checked all the people who attended the banquet one by one, why can't we find anyone suspicious?"

"Brother," Xu Zhen said with a thought, "Give me another list of your family's servants, and the patrol list of the guards. Why do I always feel that someone is taking advantage of the loophole?"

"Oh?" Wei Yulang said, "There is no problem with this. If there is a loophole in the patrol, it would be good to find it!"

……

After sending Wei Yulang away, Xu Zhen didn't deal with the piles of gifts and assign tasks to his servants.

He handed over all family affairs to Youmeng.

Youmeng was also a little dazed, he suddenly transformed from a child bride-in-law into Mrs. Xu, and there were four more servants, so he didn't feel quite used to it.

Moreover, the clothes she was wearing were even worse than others...

After leaving home, Xu Zhen hurried to the pharmacy in the east of the city.

There is only one pharmacy in the entire Yanping County.

Earlier, Xu Zhen bought mandala and other medicinal materials from here. At this moment, he came here to ask another question.

"Shopkeeper," Xu Zhen asked the owner of the pharmacy wearing a policeman's official uniform, "there are not many people buying mandala, right?"

"No," the pharmacy owner replied, "Datura can cure rheumatism, relieve asthma and relieve pain, treat convulsions, epilepsy, cold asthma, etc. Although it is not a common prescription drug, it is prescribed a lot."

"Oh?" Xu Zhen pondered for a while and asked, "Then what about people like me who come here to buy it without prescribing it?"

"That's not much," said the pharmacy owner. "Datura is poison. If there is too much, you dare not sell it."

"Then..." Xu Zhen asked, "Aside from me, who else has bought it without a prescription? How about a year ago?"

"Yes! Yes," who knows, the pharmacy owner said without hesitation, "It is true that a year ago, a young man came to buy mandala. At that time, our family didn't have much leftovers, so all of them were taken away." He made it round, so I remember it very clearly."

"He..." Xu Zhen quickly asked, "Did he buy something else?"

"Yes, there are fragrant gel, hemp and black jade powder, etc. I seem to have bought Tianqi and licorice. They say they are used for researching new dishes. I guess he is a cook?"

"What does he look like?" Xu Zhen asked the key question.

"Well..." The pharmacy owner frowned, "That man is wearing a very low hat, I only know he is a man, very young and fair, I really don't see his appearance clearly."

"Think about it carefully," Xu Zhen reminded, "Are there any other details? What's his size? What's his voice like? Is he a foreigner?"

"No, no, he is definitely a local," the pharmacy owner affirmed. "His accent is Yanping, his voice is very deep, he is about the same size as you, he walks very fast, and seems to be in a hurry..."

"Oh..." Xu Zhen nodded slightly and said, "He's not in a hurry, but nervous..."
