Chapter 81
Jiang Yang followed the man all the way to Lingnan Chamber of Commerce.

The teahouse was burning with sandalwood incense. Jiang Yang sat on a yellow rosewood chair on one side and looked at the old steward wearing a black silk robe and a round cap opposite.

"Wen Guanshi, what's going on in the chamber of commerce, please explain in detail."

The other party took a sip of tea unhurriedly: "There are two things."

"One may be easier for the young man, and the other is more troublesome. Which one should the young man listen to first?"

"Which one pays more?" Jiang Yang asked without thinking.

Wen Guanshi was obviously stunned for a while, and then he laughed: "Jiang Shaoxia is really a wonderful person, so the little old man will say the second one."

He continued: "Before, our Chamber of Commerce was attacked on the way to deliver a precious cargo, and none of the caravans were spared."

"Later, I sent people to investigate, and found that the body of the deceased was black, and his death was miserable, and there were blue palm and finger prints on his body, which was very strange." Wen Guanshi said.

Jiang Yang frowned slightly when he heard the words: "Do you need me to investigate this matter again?"

Wen Guanshi shook his head and said: "The Chamber of Commerce has already investigated this matter clearly. There are two murderers named Youfeng Shuangsha."

"These two committed adultery and robbery. A big case was committed in Fuzhou just a month ago. Eighteen members of Wujiazhuang's family in Qingquan County in Fuzhou were wiped out by two people. Now they have fled to Suhe County. , and robbed the goods of our Lingnan Chamber of Commerce. We sent some people, and we never thought that all of them would be in their hands." He explained, "But the little old man heard that the missing case in the city was solved by Jiang Shaoxia, so he wanted to come here This matter is also within Jiang Shaoxia's ability."

Jiang Yang said: "Why don't you talk about the salary first, the old manager?"

"If Jiang Shaoxia can take these two people down and take back what they stole from the chamber of commerce..." Stretched out three fingers and said, "3000 taels of silver, what does Jiang Shaoxia think?"

3000 taels is enough for him to drink three or four bowls of Zhenwu Naqi Soup.

He just didn't know the specific strength of these two people, so he tentatively asked: "Is it a little less?"

Wen Guanshi laughed and said: "Jiang Shaoxia was joking, this matter is just for Jiang Shaoxia to test the waters. If Jiang Shaoxia handles it properly, there will naturally be more rewarding things entrusted to Shaoxia."

Jiang Yang's face twitched when he heard the words, and 3000 taels of silver tested the water. This Lingnan Chamber of Commerce is really rich and powerful.

He then asked again: "Since these two are wanted criminals, is there a reward from the county government?"

Wen Guanshi nodded and said, "It's natural."

"This is a fat job, it depends on whether Jiang Shaoxia is willing to do it."

Jiang Yang's eyes lit up when he heard the words, this is a good thing, the reward can be doubled, and I'm afraid he can buy a few more old ginseng later.

"It's just that I don't know if there are enough medicinal materials such as old wild ginseng in the chamber of commerce."

Wen Guanshi said: "This thing is not a radish or cabbage, it is very in demand. But the little old man tried his best to find it for Jiang Shaoxia. If Jiang Shaoxia needs it, he can also use wild ginseng to pay for it this time. How about it?"

"Then it's settled!" Jiang Yang was happy, as long as there were enough medicinal materials, everything would be fine.

Then Jiang Yang asked again: "Old Steward, do you know where these two people are now?"

"I received a letter before." Wen Guanshi said, "There seems to be traces of their activities in the area around Baixi Town in the north. Jiang Shaoxia can go and see first."

He went on to say: "The item that was robbed by the Chamber of Commerce is a black jade Buddha statue, which is very valuable. Please Jiang Shaoxia to see if you can find it."

Jiang Yang responded: "In that case, I'll go to Baixi Town to have a look."

Then he said again: "By the way, if brother Luo Siqi has something to ask me, please contact me."

Then Jiang Yang went out and rode his horse towards the south of the city.

……

The north direction of Suhe County is close to Jiangling Mansion, the core area of ​​Jiangling, which is about 20 miles away from the county seat.

Coupled with the convenient water transportation in Baixi Town, this place is still relatively rich.

It's just that the road was quite uneven. Jiang Yang met several waves of robbers along the way, and also exploded several waves of gold coins along the way.

It was almost dusk when we arrived.

The town is built along the river, and most of the residents are engaged in silk weaving, so there are stretches of mulberry forests on both sides of the river.

There are still many merchant ships coming and going on the pier of the town. Even though it is dusk, there is still a bit of busy atmosphere.

Jiang Yang led the horse and walked through the streets of the town. There were many martial artists with swords on their backs.

There is a rather elegant mansion not far away.

I saw a plaque hanging on the gate of the mansion, which read: Zhuangyuanwaifu.

The strange thing is that the gate of this mansion is closed tightly, and there are actually two blue handprints on the gate.

Jiang Yang saw many people avoiding the mansion from a distance as if they were hiding from the plague, pointing and talking.

"It's another green handprint like this, which one is this recently?"

"I heard that such green handprints appeared in front of Liu's house yesterday, and the whole family died the next day."

"I heard that the old man Liu's wife was born upright, but she was found dead in the river the next day with her clothes disheveled."

"It was the same with the Chenjiatang in the south. The whole family died, even the housekeeper and the nursing home couldn't escape."

Seeing this, Jiang Yang couldn't help frowning, he went up to an old man carrying a burden and asked, "Old man, what's going on?"

Seeing Jiang Yang, the old man sighed: "Young man, are you from another place?"

"Let's go quickly, don't get into trouble with your upper body, this banker looks like it's over."

After saying that, he quickly picked up the burden and left, as if he was afraid of causing some disaster.

Seeing this, Jiang Yang frowned. He carefully looked at the blue handprints in front of the gate.

It should not be a coincidence that the deceased Wen Guanshi mentioned also had cyan palm prints on their bodies.

He immediately stepped forward, pulled the copper door knocker with the tiger's head and knocked.

"anyone there?"

"anyone there?"

No one seemed to answer.

The door was gently pushed open by Jiang Yang.

His eyelids suddenly jumped, and he saw a dead body lying in front of the door!

He hurriedly stepped forward to check, only to see that the body was black all over, and there was a black-blue palm print on the chest, the face was ferocious, and the death condition was extremely miserable!
Cyan palm print, sure enough!
He found that the body was still warm, so it must not have been dead for long.

Has it already been killed at this time?He glanced at the sky, it seemed that it was going to be night.

He hurriedly walked towards the house, only to see corpses lying all over the mansion.

He walked all the way back along the front hall. The servants and the nursing home were all dead, just like what Wen Guanshi said, they were either cyan palm prints or cyan finger prints.

Jiang Yang felt a little cold in his heart, could it be that they were all killed so quickly?

What a vicious method!

He walked all the way in, and vaguely heard voices inside.

He immediately continued to walk in, and saw that there were still some people alive in the backyard.

There were two people standing in the courtyard, one with disheveled hair and wearing a black robe, the other had gray temples, but had a ruddy complexion like a young man, and was wearing a black robe.

At this time, there are only some female family members left in the courtyard, and they are forced to stay here, with a look of despair on their faces.

A woman in her thirties was holding an eleven or twelve-year-old girl in green clothes in her arms. She looked as delicate as a porcelain doll, but her eyes were red.

"Mom..." the little girl called out with some fear.

"I'll fight with you!" The woman gritted her teeth, then got up angrily, and stabbed at one of them with a dagger in her hand!
