Chapter 150 Taiping Palace
"Hu Shan, a young three-pack disciple of the Beggar Clan, pays homage to Mr. Luo and the Second Palace Master."

"What do the Beggar Clan want from me?"

In the Tianzi Room of Linguan Inn, Luo Yang and Lianxing were sitting at the table. They couldn't help but feel a little confused when they looked at the sudden arrival of the Beggar Clan disciple wearing ragged clothes and holding a bamboo stick.

Although the Beggar Gang is the largest gang in the world, with connections and influence all over the nine states, neither Luo Yang nor Lian Xing has had much interaction with the Beggar Gang in the past.

"Hehe~~ The younger one was entrusted by Master Lu to come here to wait for you two. Master Lu has a letter for the Beggar Gang to hand over to Mr. Luo." Hu Shan smiled and took out a letter from his dirty arms. The letter sealed with light yellow paper was handed to Luo Yang with both hands.

"Could it be that the Great Master Lu you are talking about is Lu Xiaofeng?"

"Exactly."

"...I'm tired."

"Hey, you're welcome, Mr. Luo. Since the letter has been delivered, I will leave now."

Hu Shan handed the letter to Luo Yang and exited the room.

Wait until Hu Shan leaves.

Luo Yang opened the envelope in his hand as he spoke.

"You are talking about the "theft of escort money"? But hasn't the result of that matter already been reached? And even if the murderer cannot be found, judging from the time, it should be too late now."

"Not yet. Things are not going well with Lu Xiaofeng and Chu Liuxiang. The case is still under investigation."

then.

There were two pieces of paper in the envelope. After Luo Yang spread it out, he read the contents in a few glances.

Lian Xing then turned his attention to the letter in Luo Yang's hand and whispered, "What does Lu Xiaofeng want from you this time?"

Hearing Luo Yang's swear words, Lian Xing couldn't help but become curious and asked, "What's wrong?"

This deadline has now long passed.

"As for time, before the ten-day deadline was reached, the Eight Escort Bureaus of the Central Plains and the gangs of Twelve Links Wu jointly collected 3.5 million taels of escort silver and compensated it to the Taiping Palace in exchange for another month of investigation. Case deadline.”

"Where?"

His face couldn't help but darken.

"I see. Then what kind of trouble did Lu Xiaofeng encounter this time? He even asked the Beggar Gang to send messages thousands of miles to ask for your help?"

"I don't know, but there's a high probability that it won't be a good thing."

Logically speaking.

Luo Yang said with a dark face: "What can I do? It's the same thing as before."

"Look! I just said it wouldn't be a good thing to come to me like this."

Luo Yang waved the paper on his hand and sneered: "Ha~~ It's not a big deal, he just entrusted me to take the time to help him investigate a place."

After the escort money was stolen, the Taiping Palace only gave Zhongyuan Eighth Escort Bureau and Eagle Eye Laoqi ten days to investigate.

No matter whether the truth of this "escort money theft" case is found out or not, this matter is already over.

Luo Yang explained.

"Prince Taiping's Mansion."

······
When the current Emperor "Zhu Di" of the Ming Dynasty was still King Yan, Taiping Palace Cheng was just an inconspicuous distant relative of the Zhu family royal family.

Until a few decades ago.

After the death of Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, his eldest grandson Ming Huizong Zhu Yunwen succeeded to the throne, he implemented the strategy of "cutting down the vassals", which resulted in the killing of several vassal kings one after another. For a time, the vassal kings everywhere were panic-stricken and uneasy.

Forced into helplessness.

Zhu Di, who was the king of Yan at the time, decided to swear disobedience and raised troops to "pacify Jingnan" in the name of "Qingjun's side".

It was the "Battle of Jingnan" that went down in history. Finally after three years of military standoff.

Ming Huizong Zhu Yunwen was defeated and disappeared, and King Yan Zhu Di inherited the throne and became the new emperor.

King Taiping was one of the royal relatives who chose to actively join the camp of King Yan Zhu Di at the beginning of the "Battle of Jingnan".

It was precisely because of his hard work in the "Battle of Jingnan" that Gong Cheng was transformed from an inconspicuous distant relative to the prestigious Taiping who is now in charge of military power. king.

Today's King Taiping holds military power and guards the southeast of the Ming Dynasty. Although he is a relative, he is deeply trusted by the emperor.

If not.

The current emperor would not leave such important matters as the collection of taxes and money and the escort of military pay to Prince Taiping.

But now.

Lu Xiaofeng actually wrote a letter asking Luo Yang to help investigate this King of Peace?

The amount of information contained in this is obviously quite large.

······
Ten days later.

In Suzhou City.

In an upper room named [Baichuan Restaurant], Luo Yang and Lian Xing, who had changed their clothes and tried their best to look more ordinary, were leaning against the half-closed window, sipping fragrant tea and watching. The streets below are full of people.

And across the street, the majestic, simple and magnificent [Prince Taiping Mansion].

"I still can't figure it out. King Taiping himself is the person in charge of escorting the escort bank this time. Once the escort banker is stolen, he will be the first person the emperor wants to hold accountable. If this " escort banker theft case" is really related to It’s related to King Taiping, what’s the benefit of him doing this?”

Lianxing turned his head and looked at the palace of Prince Taiping in the distance, where elite warriors wearing armor were patrolling back and forth. He couldn't help but ask: "Also, Lu Xiaofeng and Chu Liuxiang have so many friends, why did they come here for autopsy? Just ask your miracle doctor for help."

"But now that we want to investigate Prince Taiping's Mansion, it seems that there is no need to send Beggar Clan disciples to deliver a letter near Tianshan Mountain and wait for several days. I must ask you to take action!"

"Don't say anything else."

"That "thief commander" Chu Liuxiang alone should know a lot of friends who are good at sneaking around."

Lian Xing has never been a silly and sweet woman, but she is smart and smart, and is not very good at solving the logical problems of reasoning and investigating cases.

In the words of a previous life.

Lianxing's thinking is more inclined to liberal arts.

But she was not good at it, but after following Luo Yang for so long, she could still see something was wrong in this matter.

Don’t say anything else.

Just this time, Lu Xiaofeng specially sent a disciple of the Beggar Clan to deliver a letter to Tianshan to Luo Yang, which was problematic in itself.

Tianshan Mountain is located in the extreme north of the Ming Dynasty.

Taiping Palace is located in the south of Ming Dynasty.

In terms of distance and time efficiency alone, asking Luo Yang for help this time was not a reasonable choice.

Unless... Lu Xiaofeng can only ask Luo Yang for help this time.

"Who knows?"

Luo Yang said: "After all, I didn't follow up on the investigation of this case. Who knows what they found out later. But..."

"But what?"

Luo Yang glanced at Lian Xing and said, "But maybe I can guess some clues as to why Lu Xiaofeng must ask me for help."

"Why do you think Lu Xiaofeng and Chu Liuxiang, after arriving in Qixia Town, didn't immediately go to Lao Bai and Zhu Wushuang, the two "people involved" in the Sunflower Sect's annihilation, instead of looking for me? 伱Do you think they really only value my medical skills?"
