    Outside Shuibo Gate in the northeast of Yingtian Mansion, close to the river bank, there is a fishing village of Dan people. The Dan people usually live on fishing boats. When the fishing boats are connected from end to end, it is a floating village with many masts. When the boat cables are untied, it can be turned into a village.  Flexible fishing boats galloped back and forth on the river.

    The life of the Dan people is very hard, so many merchants have opened warehouses and warehouses here, hiring them at extremely low prices to do some of the most arduous and arduous work.

    There are hundreds of these warehouses and warehouses, large and small, and most of them are scattered along the shore. The permanent stewards and shopkeepers have built countless simple houses and courtyards around them, forming a densely populated city.  huge village.

    The coming and going of people and the hustle and bustle are the main tone here, and the roads extending in all directions and as dense as a spider web are the characteristics of this place. Therefore, it is no wonder that Dongji Pavilion will set up a secret interrogation point here.

    The appearance of this courtyard looks a little dilapidated, almost exactly the same as other surrounding houses. Even with the guidance of Dongfang Li's flying talisman, Zhao Ran took a long time to find it. After a little calculation, the flying talisman silver paid for it was  It reached four taels, and he believed that the Eastern gift cost more, probably ten times as much as himself.

    The improvement of flying talismans still has a long way to go!

    When Zhao Ran entered this small courtyard, the elders Qiu Yunqing and Wei Chaozong of Dongji Pavilion, Zhuo Yunfeng and Dongfang Li of this pavilion had already gathered here and were discussing nervously.

    After Zhao Ran went in, he listened for a while and then heard Wei Chaozong introducing him, saying that he had sent someone to inquire. It was the Lingji Palace that distributed charcoal to the monks in the palace, asking them to send it to poor families, ten pounds per household, mainly for  Follow the practices of the monks in Daolu Si Lecture Hall.

    But Wei Chaozong added: "This incident is indeed beyond our expectations and has brought us difficulties in investigating the case. However, we cannot rule out the possibility that the two thieves passed the news through charcoal because they cannot give a reasonable explanation."  , why send charcoal to an empty suspect's residence. If there is indeed a hidden secret, this raises the second question, what does charcoal mean, and why is it thirteen?"

    Qiu Yunqing looked at Zhao Ran and said, "What do you think of Zhiran? Daolusi was the first to send charcoal, and then Shangsangong followed suit. Zhiran wondered whether this behavior was used to cover up his actions.  The possibility of a true motive?¡±

    Zhao Ran first looked at the thirteen pieces of charcoal that were broken into twenty-six sections on the ground. From the cloth bag and the shape of the charcoal, they were all the same as the regulations issued by Daolu Division that day. It was obvious that they were all looking for the same charcoal.  Bought from a dealer.

    After thinking about it, he flew to Fu Li Dayin first. Not long after, he received a reply from Li Dayin, so he told several people in the room: "These charcoals were all purchased by Li Dayin, deputy envoy of the Daolu Department, from a merchant. That merchant is  The royal merchant has been running the charcoal business for several generations." Then he told all his original thoughts and motives, and finally said: "I can't guarantee that Lingji Palace didn't have the idea of ??sending messages through these charcoals, but privately I think it's possible  Not big. Just crush all the charcoal and see if there is anything hidden inside. As for thirteenit may have nothing to do with the number of charcoal. You can weigh the charcoal to see if it is exactly ten pounds."

    The weighing result is how much more than nine catties and eighty taels. Although it is less than the round number of ten catties, it can already be considered as ten catties. This imperial merchant is quite conscientious and has not done too much cutting out materials. Maybe they  He didn't dare to cut corners on Li Dayin.

    Then he carefully crushed all the charcoal, but found nothing, which proved that there was no problem with the charcoal itself.

    Wei Chaozong has been investigating the case for many years and has a good attitude. He is not embarrassed because he has gone into a misunderstanding. Instead, he said: "Fortunately, we invited Junior Brother Zhao here to prevent us from walking into this dead end. It turned out that the initiator was Junior Brother Zhao.  Haha, it¡¯s really unexpected.¡±

    Putting the charcoal matter aside for the time being, everyone began to discuss the square card, passing the pattern around in their hands, but none of them could tell what was drawn on it.

    However, both Qiu Yunqing and Wei Chaozong swore that the pattern on the square card was definitely a contact code often used by suspects. Dongji Pavilion has found three such patterns. The general style is very similar, but the three patterns are different.  Where, according to judgment, it should convey different meanings.

    Based on these three patterns, no one knows what they represent. Wei Chaozong said that the two thieves Chunfeng and Guanyun insisted on not knowing what happened, and they were tortured many times to no avail.

    "Judging from their performance, these two thieves can't stand the punishment. Not to mention howling like ghosts and wolves, they can't control their urine and have completely lost their composure. At first they said they didn't know, but then they changed their words and said some nonsense. It was completely  It's unreasonable, and then they insist again that they don't know the inside story. If I look at the results of the torture alone, I have to believe that they really know nothing, but judging from the whole process?, they really saw a ghost without knowing it.  "

    Indeed, as Wei Chaozong said, the two Taoists did not send charcoal anywhere else, but came to this alley to send it; they did not send it to other families, but sent it to this unoccupied house; it was just a matter of sending charcoal. The key is a priori.  After looking at the square card, he used his magic power to turn it into powder, and then he opened the door. Even though there was no one inside, he still threw the charcoal into the house.  If you say that the two of them were unaware of this series of actions and that they have nothing to do with the key suspects being hunted by Dongji Pavilion, who would believe it?

    Zhao Ran asked Dongfang Li: "Can Senior Brother Li be a yin-yang soul searcher?"

    Dongfang Li shook his head: "Junior Brother Jing is good at this method, but I don't know it. But it's no use. First, Junior Brother Jing is in seclusion, and secondly, the methods of Xiao Wu and Xiao Ding in Dongji Pavilion are also first-rate.  Incredible, not inferior to the Yin Yang Soul Searcher."

    The matter has reached a deadlock at this point. Wei Chaozong does not dare to use torture anymore. If the torture continues like this, Chunfeng and Guanyun will definitely not be able to endure it. But if there is no need to torture, how will they find the whereabouts of the key suspect?

    Zhao Ran looked at Dongfang Li and hesitated: "Meng"

    Dongfang Li nodded and said: "The two thieves have already confessed to this case. They also confessed to some things about Xiu'an. They said that they went to Xianling Palace to drink flower wine several times, and most of the people who came out to accompany them were women from Xiu'an.  , In addition, they also visited Xiu'an in Guizhou, Huguang and other places, but the two places they mentioned were destroyed after we found out, so it was useless. The only thing that is useful now is to identify Wang Shouyu and  Lin Zhibin, these two are accomplices in the Meng Yanzhen case."

    "Can we arrest people?"

    Qiu Yunqing shook his head slightly: "I always feel that it is not enough, there is still a little bit left! What we want to catch most is the key person. Various signs indicate that that person is the only liaison between Shangsan Palace and Xiu'an everywhere, and it is even possible that  He was the initiator who first came forward to promote the establishment of Xiu'an."
