Chapter 352 Dancing With Wolves
Wang Hua continued: "If it is man-made, there is a reason to explain it. Although the people rumored that Liu Zhubo died under a curse. But Liu Zhubo's relatives still don't believe it. According to some information I got, it was Liu Zhubo who died first. The eldest son went to the state to seek justice, and even threatened to go to the capital to seek justice. This is also one of the causes of his death."

Bai Ting had never heard of this news.It can be seen how meticulous preparations Wang Hua made for his visit this time.

"Later, one of Liu Zhubo's cousins ​​saw his cousin's family die in such a tragic way that they almost wiped out the whole family, and filed a public prosecution. But this time his cousin was not harmed. As you can imagine, these people cannot convict all Liu Zhubo's relatives. Kill them all. Most of these people have nothing to do with the river god. There may be some people who have great respect for the river god. If they do that, it will be too obvious. It is against their original intention. Hence this breach. Everyone now I see that many people hate Liu Zhubo. Under such circumstances, even if Liu Zhubo's relatives have doubts, they are also dubious. Even if they still have doubts, they also have doubts about the breach of the embankment. Seeing this kind of The method also dispels the idea of ​​appealing. Of course, there is another intention, the greater the flood, the faster the price of food will rise."

After making a big circle, we returned to the food.

"Of course, Liu Qingdu is just a dividing line. If the embankment is broken upstream, the effect will be more obvious, but more people will die that way. So I say they have a little conscience."

Everyone couldn't tell whether he was speaking truth or irony.

But Li Shengjun finally understood that Wang Hua's action, if successful, would be a remarkable feat.It is also helpful to his reputation, it seems that he is not fooling himself.

Having said that, Wang Hua sighed.Now the upper ruler is Heaven, and Heaven regards all things as straw dogs, but they treat the people as straw dogs.It is a group of Qing officials, and some of them really pay attention to the life and death of the people.What they are fighting for is innocence and orthodoxy, but they forget that the common people are fundamental.Not to mention these outlaws.

He went on to say: "I also sent people to investigate the matter secretly. But we still return to this curse case. Why did the disobedient ignore it? There is another important reason, that is, the treatment of gods and ghosts Afraid. May I ask how many of you are not afraid of gods and ghosts? I can’t explain it legally, so I had to think about ghosts and gods, and gave them the reasons for the explanation. Later, things became more and more serious, more and more strange, and I believed that ghosts and gods were responsible. for."

Speaking of this, he looked at Bai Ting and said, "You have to be careful."

Everyone wondered, why should Bai Ting be careful?

"Why did you have nightmares last night? Let me tell you the reason. An ordinary person, if he is asleep, a stranger, or a hostile stranger, breaks into the room. He still sleeps, but people have a natural Intuition. For example, when each of our relatives is about to die, many people will notice a strange reaction, like seeing something, or make you feel sad in your heart."

Everyone didn't know whether to nod or shake their heads.What Wang Hua said was reasonable, but the common people said that the ghosts of their relatives were swimming, and they let themselves see them.

Of course, the latter uses superstition to explain this kind of behavior.But what is true is not superstition, it is just that in his previous life, human beings have not yet fully understood their own potential.Science also has no horizontal explanation.But it cannot be denied just because it cannot be explained.Just like Li Xuejun's Taoism, Wang Hua also cannot be explained by scientific principles.

"The reason why you were in that situation yesterday morning is because this person started with murderous intent on you. He was peeping in the dark with murderous intent. The potential of your body makes your hair stand on end. Maybe he changed his mind later , Maybe he considered other aspects. In the end he broke into Qiugui's room, and the voice you heard was that he was asking Qiugui something in a low voice. Of course, this is still speculation. But if we are afraid today, we will go back to Luoyang. This matter That's the end of the matter. But we didn't leave, so the murder will happen again. You may be the next victim."

Bai Ting's face turned pale when he heard this.

Wang Hua smiled gently and said, "Don't be afraid, now that you know, I will definitely protect your safety."

Bai Ting asked again: "But this servant still doesn't understand, since Ambassador Wang knows more than this servant, what else do I need to help?"

Wang Hua said: "Let me talk about the case again, and you will know. It is still about the water bag. Apart from this, there is no second reason to explain the death of so many people. But as I said just now, this water bag is a special It is not the usual water bag, which weighs [-] to [-] catties, and a woman carries it around. It is very big and heavy when filled with water. Although I haven’t figured out how to do it yet, but One thing, this is definitely not done by one person. Take another look at the map of Qiufei Baiyufang."

Wang Hua said, and drew the topographic map of the entire Qiufei Baiyufang again.Like a "convex" glyph.The small rectangle at the front is the gate, and there is also a place for prostitutes.These are girls from the Qiuzi generation, and there are also some girls from the Feizi generation.A girl with a really beautiful appearance will not receive customers like a street girl.They will take a little airs and raise their own social status.

The big rectangle at the back is the "essence" of Autumn Jade White Jade Square.The first floor is the living place of the girls of the white generation, and it is also a place for guests to stay overnight.The second floor is some small courtyards, which are places for ordinary guests to stay and entertain.The third floor is where the girls of the Jade Generation lived.In fact, in the jade generation, it is rare for guests to stay overnight in their small building.But in order to show their identities and increase their social status, although no guests are allowed to stay overnight, Qiu Fei Bai Yu Fang gave each girl a small yard.Of course, their appearance once is also a sky-high price.

Liu Yun was on this floor, and she also used the stage name Yuzhu after she entered Qiufei Baiyufang.Although Wang Hua drew the location of Liu Yun's small courtyard, he had no way of knowing the girl's appearance.I had no choice but to imagine in my mind that she caused a sensation as soon as she entered Qiufei Baiyufang. Not only was she a child of an official, she was talented, and I am afraid she was also very beautiful.

The small courtyard where she lives is in the middle of this floor.

There is a fourth floor at the back, that is, the four courtyards of spring, autumn, autumn and winter, including the Xiahe courtyard where Wang Hua and the others lived.This way of arrangement, first, it looks dignified, and second, it is noisy in front, and there are two or three houses away from the building, so the noisy and noisy silk and bamboo sounds should be quieter.Also suitable for guest accommodation.In fact, these four courtyards include the larger four courtyards of Qiu Fei and Bai Yu on the fifth floor, which evolved from a place for prostitutes to a high-end hotel.It may also be a four-star or five-star hotel.Similarly, the four yards of spring, summer, autumn and winter are arranged from east to west.

Everyone still didn't quite understand, they just admired Wang Hua's meticulous work.

Wang Hua said: "Miss Baiting, is this map correct?"

Bai Ting nodded, but she also picked up the pen to make some additions, drawing the specific locations of wells, woodsheds, etc., especially where there was water, she marked them out one by one.

Wang Hua's forehead, since she saw his flickering eyes yesterday, he can judge the wisdom of this little girl.

"Different from the terrain in other curse cases, the conditions in Qiufei Baiyufang are more difficult. The place where the crime happened is the central location. Although there is a road in the middle that runs through the entire Qiufei Baiyufang, there is a bluestone path on each floor But in the place next to the courtyard wall, whether it is the four squares of spring, summer, autumn and winter, the four squares of autumn jade and white jade, or the small courtyard where the girls of the jade generation live, the small stone road only leads to the courtyard gate, and then the back and forth are connected. Each courtyard is blocked by a courtyard wall and gate, and the latch of the courtyard gate has not changed in several cases. That is to say, if the murderer comes from the outside, he must climb over the tall courtyard wall outside, and then From a young girl, or from the courtyard wall of the spring and winter yards to the small stone path. Then into the yard where Liu Yun lived, or into our yard last night. And there were several incidents, I I heard that it might be in the middle of the night. Think about it, if it's artificial, is it possible?"

It can be explained by idols at one time, but several murders occurred in Qiu Fei Baiyu Court, Wang Hua also sneaked into Zheng's house, Li Xuejun is even more evil.But this is the land of the brothel, that is, the back is the accommodation.But there are no good inns outside?Living here, in addition to showing one's status, there is another purpose, which is prostitution!

The middle of the night is the time when these tourists are prosperous, and there will be guests coming and going on the trail.It is also the working time of these fans.

Anyway, Wang Hua thought that he could do it by accident, but he killed so many people and still didn't let an outsider find out, it was impossible.Unless the murderer has the skills of Li Xuejun.But how many Li Xuejun there are in the world, Wang Hua doesn't know, but I believe there will be no more than ten people.Under normal circumstances, these people can be ignored.

If they had someone with Li Xuejun's skill, beyond ordinary people's imagination, even Wang Hua wouldn't say anything.

And in order to make the homicide weird, there's no way these guys are taking that risk.

"In other words, if the murderer is someone from Qiu Fei Bai Yu Fang, even if someone sees it, will they suspect it? The big deal is that they don't commit the crime that night. It will attract people’s attention. It’s still water. There is no well in our yard, and there is no well in Liu Yun’s yard. The water must have been brought in from the outside. But was it brought from inside the workshop, or from outside the workshop? If it was outside the workshop, it would be impossible to turn over a few courtyard walls? But if it was committed by someone inside the workshop, it would be easier."

"You mean the murder was committed by our people?" Bai Ting asked in surprise.

"Exactly, except for this possibility, there is no way to explain it, unless it is really cursed by the river god. Don't doubt it, everyone has seen the face of Huazhou officials today in order to welcome Ma Ziliang. And Liu Zhubo mastered something that caused They have such a big chance? In addition, they withhold grain, this is not one stone and two stones of grain, and I have no way of knowing the exact figure, but it may be more than a few million stones. This will drive up the price of grain, and also They will make profits that drive many people crazy. They don’t even hesitate to break the embankment! Of course, if the incident happens, they will not only blame everyone, but also the court will not ignore it. For the sake of secrecy and safety, they must have eyes and ears. What do you ask? What kind of industry is the most suitable for eyes and ears?"

Everyone was thinking, but Wang Hua didn't let them exercise their thinking ability, and then said: "The best industry is the brothel, and then the driver. Especially Qiufei Baiyufang, where rich and powerful people haunt In order to win the favor of the girls, some even take the initiative to show off themselves.”

Hearing this, Bai Ting's expression turned dark.

However, Wang Hua didn't pay attention, and he continued: "There are also conversations between various dignitaries and rich people at the banquet. The girls wait on the side, so you can hear a lot of inside information. The same is true for the coachman, although he doesn't talk much, But because these people go out in cars, some news can be analyzed through the places they go. I don’t know how many people will be involved in the murder, but I believe there will be many people, including families, officials, and Merchants, they planted some cronies in Qiufei Baiyufang, for these people, it is just a trivial matter."

Speaking of this, Wang Hua looked at Li Chongjun and said, "His Royal Highness, if you reveal the truth this time, you can imagine how much merit you will have. Let's not say justice to the victims. If these people are convicted, these huge How much impact will it have on the grain price market if the grain is returned to the public?"

Along the way, Wang Hua also explained some questions to Li Chongjun, but not as straightforwardly as today.Of course, in some cases, Wang Hua only heard the information, and he couldn't draw an accurate conclusion without going to the field to verify it.That's why I forbear to say it today.

Although the history books say that Li Chongjun likes killing dogs and horses and has no rules for his behavior, it does not mean that he is useless, otherwise he would not launch a coup.Of course, he also understands that his own reputation will be of great help to the consolidation of his position.It's just like the father, who planted a piece of cotton, and the grandmother praised it endlessly, which is also the reason.

He bowed his hands to Wang Hua as a thank you.But there was a spark of excitement in his eyes. This case was very strange at first, but after Wang Hua's analysis, it turned out to be this kind of result.If it is exposed, it will cause a sensation in the world.At the same time, as Wang Hua said, it not only played a major role in disaster relief, but even the most troublesome food price issue for the imperial court.

In short, it is a remarkable achievement, but it also depends on how much Wang Hua will give up the credit.Therefore, he looked at Wang Hua with lowered eyebrows.

Wang Hua laughed a little in his heart, and he said again: "That's why I went straight to Qiufei Baiyufang. If I don't live in Xiaheyuan, I also live in Qiujuyuan. Because when we find out the truth of this case, we need to find one more thing. .”

"Is that what they were looking for?" Li Chongjun asked without being confused this time.

"Yes, we don't know what this thing is? But we can figure it out. Why did Bai Ting see a white shadow floating in Liu Yun's courtyard? That's because someone was looking for this thing. They killed Liu Yun first. The eldest son of Master Bo, of course he is the one who is suing, troublesome. It is also because he wanted to find this thing. Later, they didn’t get it. They thought it was in Liu Yun’s hands. And they brought it to Qiufei Baiyu Fang. But since they are looking for it, this If the item is not too big, otherwise it would have been found long ago. It will not be too small, otherwise it would not have been searched with so much energy. Then what could it be? I think it might be a ledger. It just meets this condition. There are some critical things recorded in this ledger, which led to the murder. Of course, it is still speculation."

The small courtyard where Liu Yun lives is just across from Xiahe Courtyard and Qiuju Courtyard, but Qiuju Courtyard is closer, but Qiuju Courtyard already has a client.Xia He Yuan and Liu Yun's small courtyard are not only separated by a horizontal road, but also separated by a vertical road in the middle.This is also the reason why Wang Hua moved into Xiaheyuan.

Hearing this, everyone suddenly realized that except for the water problem, Wang Hua had already deduced all the doubts in reverse.

But Wang Hua said: "Everyone can take a look at the death time and number of relatives and relatives of the Liu family and related victims."

As he spoke, he wrote them down on paper.He continued: "First, the Liu family was killed. Then his eldest son. Then there was a pause for a while, and then Liu Yun and her maid. Then Yulian and related people. Then it was Liu's family. Relatives and the prodigal son of the Liu family. In this murder case, the one with the largest number of deaths was in the Qiufei Baiyu Court. What did they explain? They might have gotten some clues that made them think that the thing was in Liu Yun's hands. Later, they searched for the hopeless place. After that, I started from other people."

Everyone was at a loss again, where is this thing?

Wang Hua said again: "Don't think about it, the things must not be in the Qiufei Baiyufang. Otherwise, they have insiders to help in the Qiufei Baiyufang, one intentional and the other unintentional. When they collected Liu Yun's relics, they had already obtained it. Continue to kill. Even if you kill, you will kill the relatives of the Liu family to prevent them from causing trouble, not a group of girls. Later, they did not find it among the relics, and they began to sneak into other courtyards at night to continue searching. In order not to be discovered, Yulian Then he was killed again. Such frenzy shows that they have some evidence and concluded that the thing is in Liu Yun's hands. But what I don't understand is that if Liu Yun is in charge of this thing, and her parents and elder brother die tragically, even if she crawls, she will be killed. Climb to the capital and use this thing to sue the real culprit."

What Wang Hua said made sense, but everyone became more confused.

Wang Hua said again: "Therefore, I need Bai Ting to help me with many things."

As he said that, he took out a stack of flying money, about a thousand guan, under the heavy reward, there must be a brave man.

However, Bai Ting turned pale for a while, and said: "Ambassador Wang, this servant has always respected you as a person. What's more, what Ambassador Wang has done is for the common people of the world. Although this servant has been reduced to prostitution, it is not because I don't know good and evil. I hope Ambassador Wang will not To humiliate slaves with money."

Wang Hua was startled when he heard this, then bowed solemnly, and said, "Miss Bai, what you say today will never be forgotten in your next life."

As he said, he put away the flying money, and said: "Then I'll ask Miss Bai Ting one thing, have you ever been in Liu Yun's yard?"

"Lady Liu seems to be very indifferent to people after entering Qiufei Baiyufang, but because I like poetry, prose, piano and painting, I heard her talent and name, and went in twice to ask for advice."

"That's good. Will Miss Baiting accompany me to explore her yard tonight?"

Bai Ting's face turned pale when he heard this, but he gritted his teeth and said, "Yes."

Wang Hua solemnly gave another big gift of thanks. In this era, everyone believes in ghosts and gods. Bai Ting's sacrifice is already a feat.But Wang Hua didn't know that Bai Ting was his loyal fan, otherwise he wouldn't have the courage to accompany Wang Hua to explore this mysterious and terrifying courtyard at night.

"In addition, I would like to ask Miss Baiting one thing. Liu Yun and her maidservant died suddenly one after another, but is there any girl who is on good terms with her or with her maidservant?"

"Have."

"Okay, you can make a list for me, or show it to me quietly at the right time. But don't take the initiative to test, and don't trust anyone in the workshop easily. We are dancing with wolves now, and Don't know how many wolves there are, or even those people are wolves."

The crisis in Huazhou, from officials to big merchants, to fans, is an extremely tight net.If it was leaked out, even if Wang Hua came with many guards, he might be in danger.At least they can quickly erase the traces, and then all the painstaking efforts will be in vain, and they will be charged with taking Li Chongjun to the brothel.

Bai Ting also knew the seriousness of the matter. He didn't know if the bursting of the embankment was man-made, but these dozens of murders really happened.Not only is it related to Wang Hua, but she is also in danger.

Wang Hua clapped his hands and said, "Since Qiugui died, it means we have attracted attention, and it will be inconvenient for us to move in the future. Then I will let them put their doubts to rest. Let's go downstairs."

Remove doubt?Everyone was taken aback when they heard this, but it wasn't surprising that no matter how weird the murderer was, they still believed in Wang Hua's wisdom, and they also believed that Wang Hua's strategy alone would surpass these "wolves".This is some kind of trick that Wang Hua had deployed long ago in order to prevent it.

Did not ask.

When everyone came downstairs, the faces of the girls were still ashen, apparently they hadn't come out of the cursed panic yet.

Wang Hua threw a stack of flying money to them, and said, "Everyone, don't be afraid, I will come to a great mage to do it in a few days."

Obviously Wang Hua's words and the money didn't have much effect.Wang Hua was also helpless, explaining to Bai Ting was an exception and needed.You can't leak the news to the second person.

Wang Hua said again: "If you are worried, I will invite a friend to live here, and he will bring a lot of subordinates, so that the building will be crowded with people, and no one dares to make trouble. Come with me, everyone."

It still didn't work. It was the river god who made the curse, and it wasn't cunning. Some girls even thought that Wang Hua was disrespectful, which might cause even greater disasters.But it was a good thing to leave Xiahe Courtyard, so they rushed out in a swarm.

Wang Hua painted the Autumn Jade White Jade Square, but when he came out, Wang Hua also saw a fan pointing at him and Li Chongjun whispering something.Obviously talking about what happened yesterday.

But Wang Hua heard Bai Ju ask Bai Ting: "What did they call you upstairs and say?"

Bai Ting replied: "Wang Erlang is proficient in music, he went upstairs and talked with me about music theory for a while."

Wang Hua glanced at her approvingly, it's not that he doesn't believe Bai Ju, the more people who know about it, the more likely the news will be leaked.

Bai Ju looked at Wang Hua, and there was a hint of coquettishness in her eyes. Now that her mind was gone, she didn't have a frown. This Bai Ju still looked very beautiful.Of course, she is a girl of the white generation, and her appearance is a bit out of place. Li Chongjun is used to seeing the world's pretty eyes, but in the eyes of ordinary people, Bai Ju's appearance is already very beautiful.

This was Wang Hua's shot yesterday, that's why she showed this expression.Or she has plans to embrace Wang Hua's thigh, which may not be known.

Wang Hua said: "Wait a while, after I visit an old friend, I will play a song for you when I come back."

"I don't dare," Bai Ju said delicately.
Mu Zili, who was disguised as a woman again, turned around and glanced at Wang Hua knowingly.

Wang Hua did not go to Bianzhou, but this time Wang Hua asked Zhang Jiazhen to be his deputy, and Zhang Jiuling to help him. Although he did not avoid relatives, Zhang Jiuling was not in a high position this time, and he played an auxiliary role, and there was no minister to impeach him.There should be no major mistakes in the cover-up of these two people.

But be careful.People in Huazhou might not know Wang Hua, but Ma Ziliang brought some men over, and most of them knew Wang Hua.What kind of confrontation has been exposed.

Of course, it was not easy to remember that Wang Hua had never been to a brothel, let alone he dared to bring the prince to the brothel.There are others here now, let alone Wang Hua actually playing the piano for a second-rate fan.

After releasing the judgment on Wang Hua's true identity, Wang Hua can make arrangements calmly.

This is meaningful.

Bai Ju said happily: "Does this servant have the guts?"

A group of people got into the carriage and came to a high-class inn in Huazhou.Even Li Chongjun's face became strange when he saw the person Wang Hua was looking for, but Wang Hua pulled his elbow to signal him not to show his expression.

Because Wang Hua was looking for a barbarian, and he was also a Persian.

After meeting, Wang Hua gave him a warm hug and said, "Uncle Humul, long time no see, how is Huazhou?"

Hu Mu'er laughed and said, "I didn't expect Shixiong to let Erlang come to Huazhou to preside over the affairs, but do you think this place is good? There are disaster victims everywhere, which makes me feel a little panicked."

As he said that, he came to Li Chongjun and said: "This is Mr. Li Dalang, I'm sorry."

A respectful gift was made.

In the eyes of outsiders, maybe Li Chongjun's family background is more noble than this Persian's, so this big gift was made.However, Li Chongjun knew that this was a gift from this man named Humul who knew his true identity.

Wang Hua was afraid that he would not react, so he introduced: "This is Humul, the descendant of the Persians I told you. He also came to Huazhou to see if he could enter the cotton industry. He has been here for six or seven days. gone."

However, Li Chongjun looked at Wang Hua with a more solemn expression.

what does this mean?
With Humul's intervention, it is even more believed that they are businessmen.And Hu Mu'er came to Huazhou for six or seven days, which showed that Wang Hua had already arranged it, and it was already a suspicious situation today.

It is possible that Humul is just one of the chess pieces he laid, and there are more deeper chess pieces moving in Huazhou.

This thoughtfulness is terrifying.

Of course, it is a good thing for Li Chongjun now, the more delicate Wang Hua's mind is, the higher the chance of success.

But his personal experience undoubtedly gave Li Chongjun a new understanding of Wang Hua.
PS: There is another update tonight.At the same time, it is announced that the trough period has passed, and the update will be faster in the future.But I hope that all brothers and sisters will support it with monthly tickets, not for anything else, but for the sake of face.
