Demoness, Where Are You Fleeing To?

After coming out of the palace, Li Xuan put one hand into his sleeve and fell into a state of trance from time to time.

It was not until he returned to Suzaku Hall that Li Xuan returned to normal. It was getting late at this time, and it was close to the end of class, but Li Xuan had made up his mind and planned to sleep here tonight.

Li Dalu had already tipped him off, and now there was a turmoil in the family, with the potential for war to reignite.

As the saying goes, a gentleman does not build a dangerous wall, so Li Xuan decided that it would be better to avoid it tonight.

In addition, they have a lot of work to do next. Le Qianqian has already moved a large number of files from Suzaku Tower. Part of it is related to stone paint, so the material can be used to make fire oil. Therefore, not only the stone paint transactions in various producing areas are recorded, but the trading houses that change hands also keep records, which is well documented.

Part of it was about the whereabouts of the three ships. Le Qianqian transferred all the customs clearance documents and unloading records of the Yangtze River system and canals, all docks, and all case files that occurred on the Yangtze River to their public house.

There were more than 52,000 pieces of rice paper, piled higher than a person on the table. Of course, it was impossible for Le Qianqian to look through so many files alone. Li Xuan and others still had to do their best.

"These customs clearance documents and transaction records are actually all untrue. Nowadays, officials at water customs in various places have long been corrupt; merchants in various places have tampered with the account books submitted to the Six Daosi Division in order to avoid paying taxes to the court. Especially for ships The city’s black market and salt dealers have always been outside the supervision of Liudaosi.”

Le Qianqian explained to a few people while watching, "But as long as we are careful enough and reason about it, we can still detect clues. For example, this boat company, Yangzhou Nanshuiguan recorded that their ship carried 10,000 white flour Three thousand kilograms, but everyone knows where Yangzhou is. It is the largest distribution center for private salt. This so-called white flour can only be private salt."

But after Zhang Yue flipped through it for about twenty minutes, he hit his head and fell on the table with a 'dong' sound, making a thunderous snoring sound.

Then twenty minutes later, Peng Fulai was also killed. This guy huddled under the table and began to snore like thunder, falling asleep.

Li Xuan's face turned black and he wanted to kick these two people out of the door.

He endured it for three minutes, but finally couldn't bear it anymore and found a few people to carry them out of the class room.

Mainly because the snores of Peng Fulai and Zhang Yue were too loud and echoed back and forth, giving the impression of a symphony.

By midnight, Luo Yan was the first to gain something: "Look at these records, the Luzhou branch of Shangshanxing, local person Li Yun from Chengdong, bought 60 kilograms of stone paint. Since three months ago, people have been buying it. There are a total of 129 local people. The numbers vary, and they all fluctuate around 60 kilograms, almost never breaking. Then we go to Shanxi, this time it is Chizhou branch, and the stone paint is about 50 or 60 kilograms. , eighty-three local people traded within ten days. This number is very unusual."

"I have them here too, but they are in Yingtian Mansion and Ningguo Mansion."

Li Xuan has already begun to frown. In this era, the biggest role of oil is to 'paste the car' and 'water the car'.

The so-called grease car is to apply oil on the axle, which acts as lubricant. The 'Shui Lei' is to lubricate the bearings of the Shui Lei. The so-called "釭", according to "Shuowen Jiezi", is "the iron in the hub", which means bearing.

Therefore, few people will buy stone paint in such a large amount, usually ten or twenty pounds. Sixty kilograms is naturally not a lot, but it is still a lot. Such frequent purchases cannot but arouse suspicion.

"In addition, I also saw Han Shen's name in it."

That is the shopkeeper Han Jiuhan who has been silenced——

"But the theft case in the palace doesn't require so much."

Luo Yan said with a sneer on her lips: "According to my estimation, pouring up to six hundred kilograms will be enough. Unless someone wants to make fierce fire oil on a large scale."

Li Xuan and Le Qianqian looked at each other, their eyes becoming extremely solemn.

Le Qianqian moved quickly and quickly integrated all Shangshanxing's transaction records about Shiqi, and then her eyes changed slightly.

"What happened?" Li Xuan asked Le Qianqian, with expectation in his words: "But what clues were found?"

"These three people who bought stone paint are the same people who bought the old boat from Wangji Boat Shop."

Le Qianqian pointed at three places on the list with her delicate hands: "They are from Yangzhou Mansion and Yingtian Mansion respectively! They are all connected together."

"There must be something wrong with this good deed!" Luo Yan asked thoughtfully: "Qianqian, do you know the foundation of their family? I think it is best to take the shopkeeper who handled it for questioning. With so many stone lacquer transactions, they How could you not be alert at all?"

Le Qianqian frowned: "Shangshanxing, I remember that it was the property of a clan member of Xu Guogong's mansion. It is precisely because of this that they were able to obtain sensitive military resources such as stone lacquer. This business is indeed suspicious, but - —”

She shook her head slightly: "We have no direct evidence. It would be inappropriate to take someone so rashly."

"There's nothing wrong with it." Li Xuan stood up directly: "This matter involves rebellion, and these evidences are enough. I will ask for instructions from the superiors, seal up the good deeds in various places at the same time, and arrest the suspects!"

He did what he said and strode out of the door.

Le Qianqian and Luo Yan both looked at Li Xuan's back in surprise, feeling that their boss was particularly decisive.

It wasn't until Li Xuan's back disappeared from sight that Luo Yan withdrew his gaze: "I remember the formula of fierce fire oil. Qianqian, please follow the list of supplies I gave you and collect some files. Maybe we can find out where they are. Where is the fire oil refined?"

"The formula of fierce fire oil?" Le Qianqian looked at Luo Yan in surprise: "This is an important military weapon and is strictly prohibited from leaking. Luo Youjiu, do you even know this formula?"

Luo Yan laughed when he heard this and said, "How else would I dare to say that I, Luo Yan, am an expert at playing with fire?"

※※※※

Since his boss Jiang Hanyun was not here, Li Xuan went directly to the Suzaku Tower to find the Demon Subduing Manager.

Coincidentally, the general manager was unusually absent from the Suzaku Hall today. The last person to receive him was the deputy hall master of the Suzaku Hall, Qiu Qianqiu, the real master of Fumo.

"In this case, the good deeds here are indeed suspicious. The tombs of Chen Han soldiers at Dasheng Pass, the theft of the imperial city, the violent fire oil, the theft and sale of ordnance, these are all, one by one, hehe-"

After reading the evidence submitted by Li Xuan, Qiu Qianqiu smiled without warmth: "The ground in Nanzhili is really interesting. It seems that someone really wants to plot a rebellion! I am curious, what is on the surface of the water? Which whale shark is hiding under there that can cause such an undercurrent?"

Li Xuan sat opposite Qiu Qianqiu, frowning: "This is what my nephew wants to know. Uncle Qiu Shi, there is actually something that I am very puzzled about. This southern Zhili has been at peace for a long time, and everywhere is still safe. And in Jingtai Er After Shaobao purged all the troops in the garrison, military control in various places in southern Zhili was extremely strict. In theory, there is no possibility of change. Where did they get the confidence and the soldiers to rebel? "

"Yes!" Qiu Qianqiu looked at Li Xuan: "Do you know where the manager went today?"

Before Li Xuan could answer, Qiu Qianqiu gave the answer: "The general manager personally led seven people from the Zhuque Hall to Gaoyou today to destroy the incense altar of the Maitreya Sect in Gaoyou."

Li Xuan looked stern, but felt puzzled.

He was thinking about the relationship between the Maitreya Incense Altar in Gaoyou and the question he just asked.

"Did you know that many people along the canal are already dying?"

Qiu Qianqiu's face was cold: "Due to the blockage of the canal, water transportation has been almost cut off. More than 400,000 watermen along the canal have been without a living for several months. Therefore, the Maitreya Sect was able to gather nearly 10,000 people in Gaoyou, which caused great disaster. So. The manager led a team there in person, intending to catch all the thieves of the Maitreya Cult.

And it’s not just the north. There is a drought in Changzhou this year. The water level of Taihu Lake has dropped by three meters, which has also affected the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. Not only the watermen there are suffering, but there are also many hungry people in the local area waiting for food. However, the local officials in Changzhou colluded with local wealthy families and misappropriated nearly half of the disaster relief money and food awarded by the court, causing evil to flourish in the north of Taihu Lake. "

Li Xuan's complexion couldn't help but turn slightly pale.

Thinking that this is the difference between perspective and vision, he only focused on Nanjing when investigating the case. Qiu Qianqiu, however, has his sights set on Southern Zhili, and even the whole world.

"Of course, these portmen and victims alone can't make a difference. There should be someone else behind the scenes, who holds great power, and may even be a military figure with military power."

During the conversation, Qiu Qianqiu had already written a document and stamped it: "I will spread the word to all places and seal up Shang Shanxing and the relevant suspects at the same time. However, since the matter is serious, I will take over the case directly. You can also Continue to investigate, if there are any clues, please inform me in time."

After talking about business, Li Xuan was about to resign. At this time, Qiu Qianqiu told him about his family's feud: "Xiao Xuan, your mother has been pregnant recently, how are you?"

"She is in good health. She even yelled at someone for half an hour today, and she was very angry."

Li Xuan thought to himself, old man, Uncle Qiu Shi is talking about your wife.

Qiu Qianqiu couldn't help but laugh and said: "Is she that girl from the Su family? That mouth is indeed unforgiving, but fortunately she is polite and does it for your mother's good. Shiyu, she is so kind-hearted that she... People all moved closer to her, just like Xi Ying and his wife, she suddenly raised a white-eyed wolf."

"Indeed, my sister-in-law is a very upright person, and she can't tolerate sand in her eyes."

Li Xuan's heart trembled, thinking that this person's attention to their family was really unusual!

Today, Su Zhaojun had a conflict with Mr. Liu because a housekeeper in the family was embezzling money from the Mo family. But it was Li Dalu who found out about this for him.

Qiu Qianqiu then changed the subject: "I heard, Xiaoxuan, you went to the Imperial College yesterday and climbed to the top of the Questioning Tower?"

Li Xuan answered truthfully: "It is true, my nephew is now a Neo-Confucian protector."

Qiu Qianqiu couldn't help but admire him: "He is indeed Shiyu's child. This talent and character are truly unrivaled in the world."

"Uncle Shi is ridiculous, my nephew is just lucky." Li Xuan was already a little impatient, wondering what did Uncle Qiu want to say to him? Such rambling, UU reading www.uukaｎshu． net is confusing.

But now he just wants to find the whereabouts of the three ships as soon as possible. Where can he find the time to chat with Qiu Qianqiu?

But then, he heard Qiu Qianqiu sigh: "Sometimes I really envy your father, and I also regret it a little bit. Now, although I have avenged my great revenge, I am successful in martial arts, and I am about to climb to the top of the heaven. But because of the desolation below my knees, , I often look back and pity myself, lamenting that no one can inherit my martial arts skills, fine magic weapons, and millions of money—"

Li Xuan didn't understand what Qiu Qianqiu meant at first, and just thought it was his old man's complaint. It wasn't until he was blown by the wind when he walked out of the Suzaku Hall that he suddenly woke up.

I thought to myself, what the fuck, this Uncle Qiu Shi clearly wants me to be his son!

When Li Xuan returned to their signing room with a complicated mood, he saw the excited faces of Luo Yan and Le Qianqian.

"We found out that there is a suspicious place in Yangzhou. It is probably the place where they make fierce fire oil."

Le Qianqian had a blush on her face: "Also, we may have found the whereabouts of Wang Ji's three old ships."
