King of Song

Chapter 107 Chapter [-] Speech Exploration

"Tang Qingyuan's situation has been found!"

Hearing Su An's report, Lin Zhao was somewhat excited. There was no clue about the killing of the private salt dealer in Fangjia Village, and the only further connection was this Tang Qingyuan.Just a merchant selling seafood?At least Lin Zhao is skeptical...

Su An said: "As you expected, Tang Qingyuan was probably the biggest private salt dealer in Hangzhou a few years ago."

"Oh?" Lin Zhao thought for a moment, and now there is finally a breakthrough.As for how Su An found out, Lin Zhao didn't care. All in all, he must have a way and his own channel.

Su An explained: "Tang Qingyuan used to be a small businessman with some money, but not very rich. He gradually became rich about ten years ago, especially six or seven years ago, and became the leading rich man in Hangzhou.

How can you make so much money selling seafood?Some people say that Tang Qingyuan was lucky and found the pearl in the sea.In fact, he has been engaged in illegal activities of selling illegal salt! "

New discoveries, finally found some clues about private salt in Hangzhou, maybe this is the breakthrough.

Lin Zhao nodded and said, "It's not surprising. Selling private salt is a huge profiteering industry, and it's normal to accumulate a lot of wealth in a short period of time."

"But Tang Qingyuan's luck is bad. Three years ago on the Lantern Festival, the Tang Mansion unexpectedly caught fire, and dozens of members of the family were killed in the flames." Su An sighed: "Maybe it's retribution, a native of Hangzhou who knows the inside story Say so."

"Do you believe it was an accidental fire?" Lin Zhao's rhetorical question already showed his attitude.

Su An also hesitated: "Indeed, there are so many lights in Shangyuan, but why is it such a coincidence?"

Lin Zhao said coldly: "It's not surprising that it caught fire, but what's strange is that dozens of members of the family were burned to death. Could it be that the Tang family didn't notice the huge courtyard? Not even a single person escaped?"

"That's right. I heard that this was indeed the case at the time. When outsiders found out, the fire was already raging and it was too late to rescue. The wailing and screams from inside were horrifying." Su An added: "After the fire was extinguished, we found it in the fire scene." Dozens of charred skeletons were found, and people preconceived..."

Lin Zhaodao: "It's possible that they were burned to death. But it is undeniable that there is another possibility. Maybe the Tang family's movements were restricted so that they couldn't escape when the fire was burning, and they were burned to death!"

"It is indeed possible, but it is too cruel to do so!" Being killed by a little bit but unable to escape is definitely one of the greatest pains in the world.

Lin Zhao sighed: "Tang Qingyuan is the largest private salt dealer in Hangzhou, and his identity is sensitive. This possibility is very high. As for the reason? It goes without saying!"

"what do you mean……?"

"It's either killing people to silence them, or fighting for power and profit. In short, it's not a righteous behavior." The corner of Lin Zhao's mouth moved slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "In other words, there must be something wrong with this Tang Qingyuan."

"Then the direction of the investigation is mainly on the murder of Tang Qingyuan?"

Lin Zhao asked, "Did Tang Qingyuan's whole family die? Are there any other relatives, friends, or subordinates?"

"After the accident in the Tang family, my friends were afraid of getting into trouble, so they all stayed away. As for the subordinates in the past, they had a very hard time. I'm afraid no one will come forward when the Fang family village encounters unexpected disasters this time." Su An said: "As for the relatives of the Tang family , Tang Qingyuan had three sons and one daughter, who married a man surnamed Mu... Because it was the Shangyuan Festival that day, and all the sons and daughters came back for reunion, so they were all buried in the sea of ​​fire... Presumably the murderer also took advantage of this opportunity to destroy the Tang family. ?”

"My surname is Mu?" Lin Zhao couldn't help but hesitated when he heard it, and murmured, "It's a coincidence, it's quite similar to Mu Sihong..."

"Yes!" Su An said with a smile: "But the words are different, one is quiet Mu, and the other is Bathing Mu."

Lin Zhao said softly, "The surname Mu comes from Duanmu, which is rare, not to mention how many brothel singers use their real names?"

"Could it be possible that Master thinks that Mu Sihong has something to do with Tang Qingyuan?" Su An was a little surprised, Master Lin's association ability is really good.

Lin Zhao hesitated and said, "I can't say it. I have this feeling. I have a vague intuition. Since both parties have doubts, let's check it out."

"Yes!"

Now any clues cannot be easily let go, Su Shi is coming soon, and before that, collect as many clues as possible, which is conducive to the next step.

"In that case, why don't you go and see Mu Sihong? It doesn't matter if you scare the snake, at least you will gain something." With this mentality in mind, Lin Zhao went to the West Lake to look for flowers and willows.

Upon receiving the news of Lin Zhao's arrival, Mu Sihong was still a little surprised, and asked in confusion, "What is he here for?"

"Miss, didn't you expect him to come?" Yu Tong was a little puzzled.

Mu Sihong nodded and said: "I hope he will come, but he came so uninvited, will there be other..."

"Isn't it? Miss, you have to have confidence in yourself." Yutong said, "There are not many scholars from Hangzhou who have come to visit these few days? That Marquis of Fushui has been here for several days in a row, but it is Mr. Lin who hasn't visited for a long time."

"Forget it, when the soldiers come to cover the water and the earth, you are a guest at the door. Since Lin Zhao is here, it is a good thing, let's go for a meeting first!" Although he didn't know why, Mu Sihong still greeted him with full enthusiasm.

"Mr. Lin is here, my family is very honored, so happy!" Mu Sihong's delicate expression, with a touch of coquettishness, is very lovable.

Lin Zhao said with a smile: "Where, since I met Miss Mu that night, her beauty has been in my mind for a long time, even in my dreams, I will think of Miss Mu's smile. Don't blame Miss Mu for coming uninvited!"

"One day is like three autumns. Mr. Lin is really funny. It is an honor for my family to have you here. How could you wish for it?" Mu Sihong's heart throbbed slightly, but he was more puzzled. Lin Zhao's performance today seemed to be slightly different.Especially the sweet talk made her even more surprised. Could it be that his nature is like this?In a sensitive period, one had to be more cautious. Mu Sihong tried her best to act on the occasion, but her heart was full of doubts, and even a little drumming.

"Mr. Lin, please!" Mu Sihong warmly invited Lin Zhao to board the boat, and the maid brought tea in time.Lin Zhao took a sip, the fragrance was pleasant, and praised: "Good tea, Miss Mu's taste is really extraordinary."

Mu Sihong said with a smile: "Master, if you say that, the slave family will feel ashamed. How can it compare to the good tea that Master had in Bianjing?"

"It's different, it's more fragrant and pleasant, and the taste is better!"

Mu Sihong said with a smile: "It's just taking advantage of the geographical advantage. There are many tea mountains by the West Lake, so it's convenient to pick them locally. And this water is from a nearby mountain spring."

Mentioning this, Lin Zhao couldn't help thinking, the best tea by the West Lake, the most famous tea in later generations is undoubtedly West Lake Longjing.I have been in Hangzhou for so long, but I haven’t heard much publicity about Longjing tea. Could it be that this variety has not yet been planted?Or is it not yet famous?If so...hehe, Lin Zhaoyou smelled a potential business opportunity unintentionally.After this busy period, I have to inquire.

Seeing this, Mu Sihong asked, "Mr. Lin, why are you laughing? Could it be this tea... that made you laugh."

"Where, where, this tea is very good, freshly picked tender tea leaves, and this mountain spring water, so drinking tea can be interesting and artistic." Lin Zhao naturally would not divulge the great business opportunity, and asked instead: "Mu Miss, have you been staying here all this time?"

"Yes, or park a boat on the shore, or wander on the lake." Mu Sihong answered truthfully.

Lin Zhaodao: "What about safety? Although the West Lake is often visited by people, it is in the wilderness after all. What if there are bad people?"

"Hangzhou has always been peaceful, and my family has never offended any enemies, so there is no need to worry." He was concerned about my safety, and Mu Sihong felt warm and puzzled, why did Lin Zhao mention this all of a sudden.

Lin Zhao immediately said in dismay: "Where is the peace in Hangzhou? A few days ago, there was a big case in Yuhang County. More than 40 people were killed. Miss Mu didn't hear about it?"

Mu Sihong's heart skipped a beat, what does he mean?Immediately, his expression was a little unnatural.

"Miss Mu, what's the matter with you?" Lin Zhao saw it and hurriedly asked with concern.

Then Mu Sihong said in a low voice: "I heard that it's quite scary. The young master mentioned it just now, and it's really scary."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Lin Zhao said, "But the issue of safety cannot be ignored. Of course, Ms. Mu doesn't have to worry about committing murder. But she has the beauty of a moon-like shy flower, so it's hard to guarantee that there won't be lustful people... Ah, anyway, Ms. Mu It would be inconvenient for a man to lack a guard, but it would be great if it was a woman who can learn martial arts."

Mu Sihong's heart suddenly became vigilant. Why did Lin Zhao always keep his words in the right place? Why were all these things mentioned so sensitive?Could it be that he knew something?Did you come to test today?
"Thank you Mr. Lin for your concern, I will be more careful." Mu Sihong replied cautiously.

Lin Zhao laughed again: "Miss Mu's voice is like an oriole, and she has the tone of Wu Nong's soft language. Is she from Jiangsu and Zhejiang?"

Ask about native place?Mu Sihong felt even more uneasy, and nodded hesitantly: "Yes!"

"The Duanmu family is a prominent family in Hanoi. Miss Mu's ancestors must have migrated here from the south?"

Mu Sihong realized that something was wrong, and had to change the subject as soon as possible, and hurriedly said: "It should be, but it's a pity that my parents passed away early, otherwise my family wouldn't be wandering outside, reduced to a dusty place..." While speaking, she was still crying, He lost his voice several times.

Uh……

Lin Zhao also felt that it was a bit too much, and hurriedly comforted: "I'm sorry, Miss Mu, I made a slip of the tongue and brought up a sad past for the lady. But people value themselves, and the lady must not be self-deprecating."

Mu Sihong nodded lightly, and while wiping the tears on her face, said: "Young Master said, I will remember it in my heart."

Just at this moment, there was the sound of chaotic footsteps at the door, and a man shouted loudly from a distance: "It's too much for a big man to bully a weak woman!"

It was Zhao Zhongshan and Chen Hong who came here, the enemy met, and they were extremely jealous.

Lin Zhao smiled inwardly, it was just in time!
