In the evening, there was a faint red in the sky.

In the courtyard, the cicadas chirped even more, and a gust of wind passed, but there was also a hint of coolness.

Tong Zhuo took a sip of tea, and then said: "Playboy, this Yunyun's father is called Cao Qin, who used to serve in the household department, he was a corrupt official, and he was greedy for a lot of money, and during his tenure in the household department, he was once responsible for escorting grain and grass to the border gate, and that time, he lived in our Linxi City!" ”

Hearing this, Hua Lang was very excited and said, "So, this Cao Qin has been here before, and he has met that Chai Feng?" ”

"Exactly, this Chai Feng and that Lu Yu are in the rice and grain business, I think there may have been some collusion before they came."

They are not good people, and after discovering these things, it is naturally difficult for people to think on the bright side.

Hanalang nodded: "Are there any other clues besides these?" ”

"Cao Qin was investigated in the capital, and found that he embezzled and looked at the silver, and the court was very angry, and was ready to go down the vine and find out all the moths, this Cao Qin said a few names at the time, but in the end, he refused to say it, when the people of the court forced him to confess, he actually committed suicide and died, for this reason, the court sent his family here."

Hua Lang was silent for a while, and said, "In other words, Cao Qin chose death in order to cover his accomplices?" ”

"Exactly, of course, at that time, how could he have chosen to die for the sake of his own accomplices, I think he chose to die for the lives of his relatives."

If you think about it carefully, there are also many people in the court who have the means, and Cao Qin confessed everyone else like this, and others had no choice but to cut his relatives.

When Cao Qin realized this, he had no choice but to die to end the matter, but although he died, his family still did not get rid of the fate of being assigned.

Perhaps, Cao Qin at that time already knew that his family would be allocated, but it was better to be distributed than to be killed by those people.

Hua Lang faintly felt that things were not so simple, and at this time, Tong Zhuo continued: "When Cao Qin escorted the grain and grass to Linxi City, he met the robbers halfway, and the grain and grass were robbed of a small half, and after reporting to the household department, the household department was very angry and wanted to severely punish those robbers, but after a period of investigation, the gang of robbers was not found, and then because the border war was calm and the grain and grass were enough, I didn't care much, so Cao Qin went back again, and the official felt that the grain and grass might have been sold by Cao Qin. And it was sold to Lu Yu and them. ”

Tong Zhuo's guess was not unreasonable, Hua Lang bowed his head slightly, and said: "That's right, there is indeed such a possibility, and it is precisely because the two of them have this relationship that Chai Feng will redeem her after seeing Yun Yun." ”

Tong Zhuo didn't expect this, but as soon as Hua Lang mentioned it, he understood, nodded again and again, and said: "There is indeed such a possibility, but after Chai Feng ransomed Yun Yun girl, he hid Yun Yun girl there, did he hide Jiao in the golden house, or did he send it away, or did he kill Yun Yun?" Just got the grain and grass of the court into his own hands, this is a big crime to kill the head! ”

Hua Lang had a faint uneasiness in his heart, but this uneasiness came for no reason.

When Tong Zhuo left, it was already dark, and Hua Lang couldn't sleep for a long time.

Tonight there are stars, there is a moon, the moon is bright, and the stars are scarce.

It was already the middle of the night, Linxi City suddenly became lively, Hua Lang was woken up as soon as he fell asleep, and a government official hurriedly ran over and reported: "Dude, we have caught those two Western Xia spies. ”

Hua Lang frowned slightly, didn't Tong Zhuo say that he should not act rashly before, why did he arrest the two Xixia spies now, at first Hua Lang didn't understand what was going on, but when he figured it out, he suddenly sobered up, and asked with some excitement: "So, the purpose of the Xixia spies coming to Xicheng has been understood?" ”

"Yes, the dude, they all understand, tonight the two spies quietly entered Lu Yu's house, our spies followed, and found that the two Western Xia spies wanted to buy Lu Yu's grain and grass, and they lost too much in the Western Xia war, so they had to find a way from our Great Song Dynasty, but their situation, it seems that they have cooperated in this area before, and when we saw it, this Lu Yu dared to sell the grain and grass to the enemy, and immediately rushed up to arrest them."

After hearing these words, Hua Lang became even more excited.

Although there is often trade between the two countries, it is forbidden to buy and sell grain and grass, which is the most important thing to support an army.

It was only at this time that Hua Lang and the others finally understood why Lu Yu, Chai Feng and Ah Qiang disappeared every few months, it turned out that they were doing this kind of business, this kind of business that could be killed at any time but was very profitable.

This news is very exciting, discovering this is equivalent to destroying a den in Western Xia, but, does this matter have anything to do with Chai Feng's killing?

If Chai Feng's killing has something to do with this, then what will it do? Lu Yu They felt that Chai Feng was very dangerous, so they killed people and killed them?

Chai Feng is indeed a dangerous person, he ransomed Cao Qin's daughter from the Qinglou, if this matter is known by Lu Yu and them, what will they think, knowing that there are more people doing business with Western Xia, they will be worried because of this, for their own safety, they can only kill people.

If you kill Chai Feng, it is possible that even Yun Yun, Baguio and others will be killed.

Although it was late at night, Hua Lang still woke up Yin Wuyi, and then the two followed the official to Lu Yu's mansion.

When they came to Lu Yu's mansion, Lu Yu's mansion was already surrounded by officials, Tong Zhuo arrived early, but he seemed very sleepy, yawning from time to time, and after seeing Hua Lang, he didn't have much energy, Hua Lang could understand this very well, in fact, he was also very sleepy.

Because Lu Yu's business with Xixia has been confirmed, so there is nothing to ask, they only briefly understand something, it turns out that there is a shortage of grain and grass in Xixia, so they sent people to Xicheng to do business with Lu Yu, they have done it several times before, this time because of the urgency of the situation, so the protection measures were not done well, so that they were finally captured.

Lu Yu didn't have any intention of refuting this, he was arrested on the spot, and it was useless to refute, and even angered Tong Zhuo, only the consequence of being tortured.

After asking like this, Hua Lang began to ask about Chai Feng.

"A few days ago, Chai Feng was poisoned in Xiyue Tower, do you know?"

"Yes!"

"But what did you do?"

Hearing this, Lu Yu suddenly raised his head.
