Chapter 87 Clue Interruption
The shopkeeper was mentioned in front of Li Dongyang by the guards. Li Dongyang carefully examined the shopkeeper, but found that the shopkeeper was just a shopkeeper who didn't know much about his boss, so he couldn't help being angry.

The owner's name is Hu Zhong, who is not a local, but a foreign businessman with no family. He has been doing business here for more than ten years, and the calculation time is about the same as when Jin Yi came to Yang County.

Every time Jinyi entered the backyard, the shopkeeper knew about it, but he didn't care, it was just a game of dogs and men, and Hu Zhong gave the shopkeeper a high salary, which naturally implied a confidentiality fee.

So the shopkeeper kept his mouth shut all the time, didn't mention a word to outsiders, and even helped to cover up, just begging the boss to reward him with a little more money.

Li Dongyang waved back the shopkeeper, and started wandering around the backyard, wanting to see if there is a secret room or a dark pavilion here.

Laiyang county magistrate was a sad reminder, he didn't know why Li Dongyang rushed into the city, he acted cautiously, he went back to the county office first.

It turned out that the county magistrate was right to come back, because the guards brought Li Dongyang's order, which was to search for the shopkeeper of Hu's Cloth Village with all his strength. The reason was not mentioned, and the county magistrate did not ask, so he quickly ordered someone to do it.

At the same time, the county magistrate's little heart was raised again, wasn't he investigating the murder case?How did you find it on the cloth shop?The anxious county magistrate finished what Li Dongyang told him, and hurried out of the city. He should go to Xiaowangzhuang and wait.

Li Dongyang searched the backyard of Buzhuang, and he really found the secret room, but the secret room was empty, not even a piece of paper.

On the contrary, the guards found paper ashes in the latrine, presumably some important documents were burned, which caused Li Dongyang to be very dissatisfied. It seems that the other party has good news, and he has not arrived yet, and the other party has already got the news.

Unwilling to give up, Li Dongyang tore down the bed, and finally found a piece of paper in the crack of the bed, covered with dust, with a few crooked lines drawn on the paper, like mountains and waters and children's graffiti.

What does this thing mean? Li Dongyang really didn't see it. He was pacing in the yard holding the paper, and suddenly Li Dongyang thought of a serious question, that is, should the other party go on the road lightly or leave with his family's money?

If he traveled lightly, where did his family money go?Li Dongyang looked at the small courtyard. The courtyard is very simple. There are three main rooms, three rooms on the east and west sides. There is a well in the courtyard, and a platform is built on top of the well.

I don't know where the craftsmen were invited. The workmanship is rough, and the well platform is two feet above the ground, which may be to prevent children from lying on the well platform.

Left and right couldn't find anything, Li Dongyang left disappointed, and hoped that Jia Lin could find the pork seller, so Li Dongyang left Buzhuang and hurried back to Xiaowangzhuang.

When Li Dongyang returned to Xiaowangzhuang, Jia Lin had already returned, his face was gray, and he knew that the matter had not been completed, otherwise it would not be the expression.

"My lord, that pork seller has disappeared." Jia Lin clapped his hands back.

"What do you mean?" Li Dongyang felt overwhelmed. It was because he found out who disappeared.

"My lord, I interviewed many people with the guards, and they all said that they didn't know the pork seller. He only set up a stall in the town for two days. After selling pork to Wang Sanhao, he closed the stall and left. It seems that he was waiting for someone on purpose."

Jia Lin explained the process of his inquiry, and Li Dongyang understood that this was definitely waiting for someone, and selling meat to Wang Sanhao. The pork was fine, but the problem was the moon-watching eel.

"Has the other party's appearance been drawn?" Li Dongyang asked.

"Returning to the prince, I have drawn it." Jia Lin unfolded the portrait and asked Li Dongyang to look at it. Even though Jia Lin was young, he was very experienced in handling things. When he was looking for someone, he asked someone to draw the other person's appearance.

Li Dongyang took the portrait and looked at it. This person has a face with Chinese characters, erect eyebrows, two eyes like a cow, a square mouth, and a beard. It is not easy to get along with just looking at his face.

After watching it, Li Dongyang cast his eyes on the county magistrate who was waiting next to him. The county magistrate quickly squeezed out a flattering smile, and stepped forward and said:
"Master, can you allow the officials to send someone to copy a copy, then take it back and send someone to investigate around, and announce the arrest."

"Well, very good. By the way, let's also arrest the owner of the cloth village, and offer a reward. If you can catch it alive, you will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver." Li Dongyang said and handed the painting to the county magistrate.

As soon as they heard the reward of a thousand taels of silver, the eyes of the guards around turned red. That was not catching the murderer, but moving money.The county magistrate took it with both hands and ordered the master to copy it quickly.

After thinking for a while, the county magistrate asked, "My lord, may I ask if the two of you will reward each other with a thousand taels of silver, or each of you will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver? Also, what is this silver?"

The county magistrate behind did not ask, the meaning is very simple, that is to ask whether the money is from Li Dongyang, or from the county government.

"Each one will reward a thousand taels of silver. The silver will come from this prince. You can send people to Dragon City directly, or you can send a message that this prince will come to lead you." Li Dongyang's eyes flickered when he said that he was coming to fetch people.

The county magistrate was relieved when he heard that he didn't have to cut his flesh, which is a good thing!Reassuring, the county magistrate looked at the corpse on the ground again, and asked, "My lord, what is Jinyi's case?"

"You can settle this case. I will not interfere." Li Dongyang looked at the corpse on the ground, and felt that Jin Yi had hidden secrets, but it was a pity that he died.

It's hard to say whether this Xiaowangzhuang is Jinyi's hometown. After all, when the Wu Kingdom perished, the birth records of the court ladies disappeared long ago, and this is the territory of the Longyuan Kingdom, so it can't compete with the Wu Kingdom.

After walking around Jinyi's yard for a few times, but did not find the secret room and other places, Li Dongyang thought of the map on the piece of paper, and looked at the mountains in the distance, Li Dongyang frowned.

It doesn't look like a map. I really don't understand what the meaning is on the paper. It seems that there is only one difficult word for Jinyi to break through here.

He rushed out excitedly, but finally returned in failure. Li Dongyang was very upset in his heart, and finally turned into a helpless sigh.

It doesn't matter, let's find a place to rest, wait for another day tomorrow, if there is no news about Hu Zhong and that eel seller, he can only go back to Dragon City first.

The county magistrate ordered people to put the body away, and when he saw Li Dongyang was about to leave, he hurriedly sent him off, but instead of leaving, Li Dongyang went to Laiyang County to rest.

Li Dongyang, the county magistrate's xiaojiujiu, understands that he just wants to climb up the big tree of Zhen Guogong's mansion, so that he can make a fortune. It's boring to talk about official affairs, and Li Dongyang actually doesn't want to intervene in this kind of nonsense.

But he still needs the county magistrate to contribute, so he gave the county magistrate a chance to show off, let the county magistrate bleed a little at night, so that he can work harder to find people. If there is a breakthrough, Li Dongyang doesn't mind giving some benefits to the county magistrate.
