Chapter 171 Continuous Tracking
"Sir, what are you talking about..."
Before Feng San could continue to speak, Lu Qingfan took out a stack of rice paper from his sleeve and threw it into Feng San's arms.
He opened it hurriedly, the blood on his face faded, and he was speechless, not knowing how to defend himself.
Yun Xi took a curious look forward and found that on the rice paper was a bill copied from somewhere. It contained Feng San's suddenly increased private property, and the comparison before and after the transaction in several years was very detailed.
"If you can't explain the origin of this huge amount of money, Mr. Feng, I'm afraid you won't be able to walk out of this prison in one piece today." Yun Xi reminded her kindly for the last time.
Feng San didn't expect that the Ministry of Justice would even find out these things, so it must have known what he and Lu Xiang had done.
He hurriedly knelt on the ground and wailed: "Sir, please forgive me! This, these are all what Lu Xiang asked the villain to do! The villain is just a wanderer, how do you know anything about making iron and getting paid..."
"Get paid?" Lu Qingfan immediately grasped the key point, his eyes darkened, "Tell me in detail!"
It even involves taking empty pay? Doesn't that mean that the lives of the soldiers at the border are being trifled with?
Yun Xi didn't dare to think deeply and brought her thoughts back to Feng San.
"Yes, yes! This villain is Mr. Lu whom I met seven or eight years ago." Feng San wiped his face and tried to regain his composure.
Seven or eight years ago, Feng San did not engage in the private iron business, but relied on his burly figure to work with the escort agency.
By chance, he met the resourceful Lu Xiang.
"Mr. Lu didn't recognize his talent, and he was very resentful towards the imperial court and Lord Shangfeng. The villain persuaded him to leave the Yamen and do some business with the villain! Who knows, it was these words that awakened Mr. Lu, and there was
We later became a partner in selling iron..."
Feng San still felt a little emotional when talking about the past.
Everyone knows that iron smelting makes money, but how dare the people compete with the officials for profit?
If Lu Xiang hadn't promised Feng San that everything would be taken care of, he wouldn't have to worry about anything else. All he had to do was deliver the manufactured ironware to the official road near Beimang. The profits would be huge and he would be given a share of the work.
share!
"This is a good thing that falls from the sky! The villain will just accept it." After saying this, Feng San immediately raised his hands and swore that apart from making some money, he had never done anything else.
Yun Xi didn't believe it.
Those who dare to take risks and are willing to be sentenced to death after being discovered by the court to earn money, there is no guarantee that they will not do other things for the sake of money.
When Lu Qingfan heard this, he asked Feng San with a half-smile but not a smile: "Is this sword familiar to you?"
After saying that, the long sword soaked in dark light suddenly came out of its sheath and pointed directly at Feng San's throat. The sharp edge brought out a chilly breath, causing goosebumps to appear on Feng San's neck.
Yun Xi's eyelids twitched, and she was so scared that she peed her pants when she saw the thick man.
She turned her head silently and thought, how dare you earn so much money with just this idea?
Feng San was trembling while seriously looking at the extended sword, nodding his head and saying:
"I've seen it before! Previously, Lu Xiang asked the villain to find someone else to make a set of these swords...the length and the thickness of the blade are exactly the same!"
Lu Qingfan and Yun Xi looked at each other.
It seems that there is no doubt that someone imitated his swordsmanship.
"To whom did you give the refined sword?"
"The villain doesn't know."
Feng San quickly emphasized: "Lu Xiang has always been mysterious in his work. The villain is afraid that if he knows too much, he will die quickly. Basically, he doesn't ask questions if he can, and just keeps doing things."
Lu Qingfan laughed angrily: "You are quite clever."
"It's okay, it's okay." After Feng San finished speaking, he immediately lowered his head, feeling secretly annoyed that he was so used to answering questions that he would dare to answer anything?!
Yun Xi shook his head helplessly when he heard this. At least based on Feng San's performance at the moment, there were too many secrets that he could not let him know: his brain was not bright, and his mouth was not reliable.
Facts have proved that Yun Xi's guess was right.
Later, Lu Qingfan asked who was behind Lu Xiang, what did he do to get Feng San to start selling iron, and who gave the finished iron tools to...
Feng Sanjun asked three questions and didn't know.
Yun Xi knew that today's interrogation was over.
Lu Qingfan said to Yun Xi: "Let's go."
The two were about to leave the prison. As soon as they took two steps away, Feng San immediately leaned on the cell door and shouted: "Sir, are you leaving now? You should let the villain out! Lu Xiang must know this information.
Yes, you can find out if you ask someone..."
Lu Qingfan suddenly turned around, his eyes as deep as the sea revealed a bit of coldness: "Lu Xiang is dead, and his living body was cut into pieces with a sword."
Not only that, after death, they were boiled first and then thrown into the river to wash away, leaving almost no bones left.
Feng San turned pale when he heard this and murmured: "Why, how could he be dead?"
Yun Xi also stopped, trying to make Feng San understand: "There was a very tragic explosion in the iron smelting yard, with countless casualties. Someone was looking for an opportunity to seek revenge and killed Lu Xiang and others. The person behind the scenes said that in order to clear away the evidence,
They may take action again, but Mr. Feng can still survive by staying in prison."
When the truth of the case is revealed, the criminal law will naturally determine the crimes committed by Feng San.
Feng San looked at Yun Xi's clear brows and knew that she was not lying. He didn't answer for a while, as if he believed most of her words.
This time, Yun Xi and Lu Qingfan did not stop again.
After leaving the dungeon, Lu Qingfan said in a deep voice: "Yi Duo secretly bought weapons for Beimang. Maybe the person who contacted him was Tuoba Lu."
Yi Duo's previous plot to murder the crown prince and his secret collusion with Tuoba Jing was extremely disgraceful, but this guy actually colluded with Tuoba Lu too!
Yi Duo's behavior was no different from that of a traitor, and his actions were so outrageous that Lu Qingfan's fist became hardened.
"With the iron smelting field gone, this line may not be broken. Sir, do you think Tuoba Lu and Yi Duo are greedy people?" Yun Xi thought for a moment and asked.
If you are a greedy person, you will not give up seeking huge profits just because an iron-making place is abandoned, and take the opportunity to drain the national treasury and enrich the enemy.
Lu Qingfan's dark eyes lit up when he heard this, "You mean, we can lure the snake out of its hole?"
Yun Xi nodded vigorously.
Lu Qingfan was dumbfounded: "This is a good idea."
Linking Yi Duo and Beimang from Feng Sanchu was an unexpected gain.
But the murder case still needs to be investigated.
Soon, Ran Piao found the buyer who had received Lu Xiang's sword refining before: Wuji Tower.
"Sir, you don't know that there is not only your sword in it, but also the double swords used by Luo Jiutian... They have copied the weapons of many famous people in the world!"
Ran Piao didn't mind mentioning it, but when he mentioned it, he couldn't help but said: "There must be a major conspiracy in it!"
"That's right, I also found out some of the intrigues between Dai Liang and the officials. I will take people to visit them later. These people may be the surviving relatives who were resettled after the explosion..."
As Ren Danqing spoke, his beard twitched solemnly.
As Yun Xi listened, she felt that after taking charge of the entire case, clues were springing up like mushrooms after a spring rain, giving people hope again.
"So good."
Lu Qingfan pursed his lips and said: "We divided our forces into two groups and handed over the matter of 'leading the snake out of its hole' to the Criminal Prosecution Department and the Metropolitan Procuratorate. We will continue to be responsible for the case and let the people in the dark think that we still have the upper hand."
The opponent can cut off their tail to survive, and Lu Qingfan can also intercept their escape route.
Up to now, this battle of wits and courage has just begun.
When Master Yun Xi and Lu Qingfan went to Wuji Tower, they happened to run into Leng Hai who was about to come back to resume his life.
"Sir, Miss Yun, why are you here too?" Leng Hai's expression seemed to say: If you don't believe in your subordinates' ability to do things, why are you here?
"I'm here for something else. First tell me what you found." Lu Qingfan is investigating both the case and the real culprit, so he needs to know.
As soon as he said this, Leng Hai smiled and shared the information he had obtained: As Lu Qingfan expected, there were indeed a group of people in the Jianghu recruiting troops, but Wuji Tower didn't know what they were trying to do.
The key point is that these people also came to Wuji Building to buy many people's weapons patterns, including Lu Qingfan's long sword.
Lu Qingfan's eyes tightened when he heard this: "The person who purchased the weapons was Wuji Tower, and they actually said they didn't know what they were looking for?!"
Yun Xi murmured: "As expected of a businessman, do you have backup copies of these weapons pictures?"
Qing Guo whispered: "Wuji Tower is really good, how can we do as many things as we give you money?!"
As soon as the little maid said this, everyone nodded in agreement.
Wuji Tower is indeed such an existence.
