Li An proposed to go to see Hao Lianbo's cemetery, not on a whim, but because it was quite far away to come to Xiazhou, if you didn't see all the various scenery and places of interest in Xiazhou, I really couldn't help myself.

In addition, Hao Lian Bobo can also be regarded as a very famous figure in the Northern and Southern Dynasties era, an extremely notorious guy, he once built a powerful army, and also served as an emperor, how could Li An not take a look at the cemetery of such an important person.

Within dozens of miles outside the city, it is the absolute control area of the Tang Dynasty officers and soldiers, and the horse thieves have absolutely no strength to enter this area, otherwise it will be very dangerous, so Li An can rest assured and boldly go to Hao Lianbo's cemetery to take a turn, without worrying about safety problems, however, when going out, you always have to lead more guards, after Li An left the teahouse, he asked one of the guards to return to his residence, gathered some soldiers and horses to gather outside the West City Gate first, and some waited for Li An, and some went directly to Hao Lianbo's cemetery, Look around the cemetery for danger and ensure Ang Lee's absolute safety.

"The horse thief definitely has eyeliner in Xiazhou City, the shopkeeper of the teahouse, the tea doctor, the businessmen who come and go, and the little lady in the store just now, they are all suspicious, but none of the eyeliner will be too obvious, so this requires us to observe carefully, and then we can find out the eyeliner of the horse thief."

Li An walked out of the teahouse and said to Li Hanlu.

Li Hanlu nodded with a smile and said, "That's right!" Everyone is suspicious, everyone on this street may be the eyeliner of a horse thief, and if you want to find out the real eyeliner of a horse thief, you have to go through a lot of trouble. ”

There is nothing wrong with this, the horse thief's eyeliner will never write the two big characters of the horse thief on his face, even if he is caught by the officers and soldiers, he will not admit it, unless the thief is caught and dirty, they will have to admit it.

Looking at the bustling crowd on the street, Ang Lee felt that everyone was quite normal, and if he looked at it differently, he would feel suspicious when he saw anyone, and everyone would become suspicious.

According to Ang Lee's experience, if the horse thief planted eyeliner in Xiazhou City, it would definitely not be one place, there should be many places, and in order to place these eyeliners and let these eyeliners have access to enough news, they will definitely not be placed in unimportant places, but in very important places.

For example, the teahouse just now is a very important place, you can contact all kinds of people, and you can get the news you want through this teahouse, so this is definitely a good place to put eyeliner.

Although Xiazhou City is not very big, there are several teahouses, the number of restaurants is more, and the green buildings are lined up on a street, so many of these places are good places for horse thieves to put their eyeliners, as for which one exists, this needs to be well investigated.

Of course, in addition to these important occasions, there are also some inconspicuous shopkeepers, perhaps also the eyeliner of horse thieves, among them, some of the shops that are obviously not doing well and losing money almost every year can continue to exist, which is enough to explain the problem, very suspicious.

In later generations, many underground workers used the method of opening shops to hide themselves, but some shops were obviously loss-making, but the loss-making shops did not close their doors, but continued to open, which could not arouse the suspicion of those who had a heart.

For the merchants in Xiazhou City, Li An feels that as long as it is a store that has been operating at a loss for a long time, there is great suspicion, the businessmen are all unprofitable guys, if they can make money, they will definitely continue to operate, but since they are operating at a loss, they still have to continue to insist, which is very suspicious, in addition, there are some shops that do not have the slightest business at all, but where are they still consumed, which has to make people wonder what their real purpose is.

For abnormal stores, it is necessary to carry out investigations, these stores are problematic nine times out of ten, as long as you follow up carefully, you will be able to find problems.

Walking and walking, Li An saw a shop selling rice, there were no customers in the store, it looked very deserted, and when he walked in, there was only a guy who was dozing off, with one hand on his cheek, looking very sleepy, as if he hadn't slept for a long time, in fact, this was caused by boredom, and there have been no customers to patronize, so it's strange if he doesn't doze off.

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

Ang Lee gently tapped on the table, reminding the dozing guy that it was time to greet the guests.

"Who!"

The young man wiped his saliva, his face was confused, maybe he hadn't received guests for a long time, and he was a little surprised to see guests occasionally.

"How do you sell the rice here?"

Li An asked.

The young man, looking at the rice, said, "Guest officer, all the rice we have here is here, the one on the left...... This ...... on the right Inside these are the most expensive and also the best rice. ”

The young man introduced it for a long time, but Li An saw that although the price of rice here is reasonable, it seems that they are all old rice, none of them are new rice that has just come down this year, and the people must be more in favor of the new rice, and they don't like the old rice that has been shelved for many years.

"Your family's rice is all old rice from a few years ago, and you can't smell the fragrance at all, but you actually sell it at the price of new rice, isn't it too expensive?"

Ang Lee asked.

The young man thought that Li An was here to bargain, and replied with an unhappy face: "Guest officer, buying and selling are all wishful thinking, you think the rice in the small shop is not good, you can buy it separately." ”

After a few words, the young man is actually picking people off, which is too bad at doing business, if they all do business like this, then they will not offend the guests.

"How do you mess with people, you young man? What about your shopkeepers? Let him come out to me. ”

Ang Lee was a little angry and wanted to see the owner of this rice shop.

The young man didn't want to do anything, so he hurriedly apologized: "Don't be angry, the price of this rice is set by the shopkeeper, and I can't help it, by the way, our shopkeeper's favorite beauty, maybe it's in the bed of the Qinglou woman at this time?" I can't find the little one! ”

Seeing the sincerity on the young man's face, it didn't seem to be lying, Ang Lee didn't want to be embarrassed by this young man, it was not easy for people, just look at the store.

"You shopkeepers, you're really good at business, let's go to the next house."

When Li An was leaving, he put down the strange words, and then resolutely left, the young man sighed with a helpless face, and then supported his cheeks with his hands, and then continued to doze off, maybe dozing off is his real job, his existence is to watch the store, plus drive away customers, and the owner of the rice shop, actually looking for a girl, seems to not care about his own industry at all, isn't it very suspicious.

This shop aroused Ang Lee's suspicions, but there is also another possibility in this shop, that is, the owner of this rice shop is a rich second generation of a loser, and the inheritance given to him by his ancestors is strong enough, so that he does not want to make progress, and eats, drinks and has fun casually, until all his family business is lost.

"It's either a loser, or it's a horse thief's eyeliner, both of these possibilities, which situation does Hanlu think?"

Li An walked out of the rice shop and spoke.

Li Hanlu opened his mouth and said: "It should be more likely to be a loser, and the horse thief's eyeliner shouldn't be so obvious, which makes people suspicious!" ”

Obviously, Li Hanlu felt that the owner of the rice shop was a gentleman, not the eyeliner of the horse thief, because the eyeliner of the horse thief must be well hidden, and running the rice shop like this can easily arouse the suspicion of smart people, and this mistake is too low-level, so the possibility is not very large.

"Maybe! Where to go next? ”

Li An said.

Li Hanlu looked at the sky and said, "Didn't you say that you want to go to Hao Lianbo's cemetery to have a look, don't let the guards wait too long." ”

"Don't worry, they usually don't have anything to do, it's okay to wait a little longer."

Ang Lee said with a smile.

"Hey, the old man in front is very suspicious, let's go, go over and have a look."

Li An walked and saw a suspicious figure in front of him, so he walked up.

Li Hanlu also saw it, but this old man was not suspicious, but looked like Guo Ziyi.

"Lao Guo, what a coincidence!"

After Li An got closer, he was sure that what he saw was Guo Ziyi, so he opened his mouth to say hello.

At this time, Lao Guo was not wearing an official uniform, he was dressed as an ordinary person, and the two entourages next to him were also dressed as ordinary people, but they looked very strong.

Although Lao Guo is the biggest official in Xiazhou City, he usually stays in his own residence, and rarely walks on the street in official uniforms, so naturally not too many people will recognize Lao Guo's appearance, in addition, Lao Guo is also slightly disguised, and it looks slightly different from usual, as long as the dress changes, no one will suspect it.

Guo Ziyi grinned, and hurriedly pulled Li An to sit down on the stall next to him, and ordered a few side dishes, although Li An was not hungry, he still went to sit down.

"Although the city is safe, I still don't feel at ease, so I came here in person."

Guo Ziyi said with a smile.

Li An sighed and said, "Old Guo! You are a worrying life, it would have been enough to exterminate the horse thief, but now I have to consider my safety, did I come to Xiazhou to cause you trouble. ”

"No, no, no, how could it be? Anyway, it's boring to stay in the house, so it's good to come out and walk around. ”

Guo Ziyi said with a smile.

"By the way, Lao Guo, there must be a horse thief's eyeliner in this Xiazhou City, you have been here for several months, have you found out anything?"

Ang Lee asked.

Guo Ziyi shook his head and sighed: "Hey! All the suspicious places in the city have been checked, restaurants, green buildings, tea houses, and small traders, as long as the places where the horse thieves can be hidden, but they can't find the slightest suspiciousness, and you can't just catch a few people and treat them as the eyeliner of the horse thieves! It's not that no one has ever done such a thing, but I, Lao Guo, will never do such a thing, as long as there is no full evidence, I will not wronged anyone. ”

"Didn't find the slightest suspicion?"

Li An asked suspiciously.

Guo Ziyi shook his head and said: "Originally, I also found a lot of suspicious things, but it can be proved that there is no problem through the investigation, but I was too careful, and I tried a few tricks, I was going to lure the snake out of the hole, but in the end it fell short, but it also made the horse thief's eyeliner more vigilant, and it was more difficult to find these eyeliners." ”

Li An nodded approvingly, looked at Guo Ziyi, and asked: "Old Guo, there is a rice shop next to it, which is full of old rice, but it sells the price of new rice, and no one buys it at all, such a store is very problematic, I don't know if you have checked it?" ”

"Of course I have checked, how can I not check such an obviously problematic store?"

Guo Ziyi said with a wry smile.

Li An asked: "In that case, what is the result of the investigation?" It's the gentleman who is losing. ”

Guo Ziyi nodded and said: "That's right, it's true, the shopkeeper of this rice shop is a man who is only thirty years old, he is also the only son in the family, and his father was also a well-known figure in Xiazhou City during his lifetime, and he has accumulated a lot of family business, houses, shops, and fields, but this gentleman is not willing to run it well at all, and he knows all day long, and even has no ambiguity with many widows in the city, these old rice are sold to him by those widows at the price of new rice, but he doesn't think so, The guy in the store didn't dare to say anything, he would feel annoyed if he said too much, as for the business was not good, the guy had no loss, the loss was the shopkeeper, as long as the shopkeeper was not distressed. ”

"Oh, it turns out that he is really a gentleman, such a person will definitely not be the eyeliner of a horse thief, the probability is too low."

Li An said affirmatively.

"Yes! In addition to the shopkeeper of this rice shop, there are a lot of things that don't look normal, but in the end they all prove to be no problem, I really don't have a clue at all! ”

Guo Ziyi said helplessly again.

Li An thought for a moment and said, "Except for these shopkeepers, haven't the rest of the scattered personnel been investigated?" For example, the vendor on the street, the lady who went to the teahouse to play tunes, have you checked all of these? ”

"There are too many such people, how can I check them one by one, but I have also checked some and found no suspicious places, but my people will continue to investigate, and there will always be some clues."

Guo Ziyi said.

"Alright! Just take your time in everything, and I'm going to go to Hao Lianbobo's cemetery twenty-five miles west of the city to see if I'm interested in going together. ”

Li An said.

Guo Ziyi said with a smile: "Actually, there is nothing to see, according to the locals, it is just a few mounds of dirt, but my old Guo has been here for several months, and I really haven't been there, let's go, let's go and have a look." ”
