Feng Qinghua's face was shocked when she heard that, and she quickly walked up to the man and asked, "Where is the widowed old man you mentioned?"

When those people who were discussing saw a stranger like Feng Qinghua suddenly come up to ask questions, they were so frightened that they almost ran away. Feng Qinghua grabbed the person who was speaking and said, "Say!"

The man took Feng Qinghua all the way to a thatched house.

The thatched house looked shaky, and the door was made of simple bamboo, and it opened with a push.

The man walked in with Feng Qinghua and shouted: "Old man Cui, are you there? I want to talk to you about something."

"Old Man Cui?"

"He is older and his ears may be thicker."

However, Feng Qinghua heard a whimpering sound inside and rushed in, only to see a man fall to the ground with blood flowing all over the ground.

There happened to be a man in black escaping from the window in the house. Feng Qinghua was about to chase him, but she thought of the people in the house and knelt down to stop the old man's bleeding.

However, this man's throat was cut and he was killed with a knife, leaving him unable to recover.

Feng Qinghua took out a little money and asked the guide to buy a coffin to bury the person.

Back at the magistrate's office, Feng Qinghua's face was still extremely ugly.

Zhan Beixiao frowned when he saw this: "What are you doing? Who has offended you?"

Feng Qinghua told the whole story, and Zhan Beixiao's expression also darkened.

"So, if the news you heard is true, then the grain was already moldy before it entered Suizhou. Or, in other words, was the rice simply dropped? Was it moldy from the beginning?" Zhan

Bei Xiao said in a deep voice.

Feng Qinghua shook his head: "I'm not sure. After all, it's a hundred thousand loads. How can we exchange food under the eyes of the Yunliang officer and the guards? What is certain is that before setting off, Jiang Wan had carefully checked and found out that

There was absolutely no problem before Beijing."

"The powder in those warehouses is most likely someone who wanted to confuse us and make us think that the grain and grass were poisoned and moldy. In this way, we will only trace who poisoned it, and will not care about the batch.

The destination of grain and grass.”

"In addition, I suspect that someone is following us. I just learned the clues about the widowed old man. The other party wants to get ahead of us. Obviously they have taken precautions. Now there are pairs of eyes around us watching our every move.

"

Zhan Beixiao thought quietly and tapped his fingers lightly on the table.

When Feng Qinghua saw that he hadn't spoken for a long time, she couldn't help but become anxious: "You said that this matter is a mess now, and you don't even know how to sort out the threads."

Zhan Beixiao raised his head and looked at Feng Qinghua: "Why are you anxious? The other party is more anxious than us now."

"More anxious than us?" Feng Qinghua looked confused.

"You said, originally we didn't know the food and grass were still there, but now we know, what will happen?"

"Looking for food and grass."

"Where can he hide so much food and grass?"

"Yes, where are you hiding?" Feng Qinghua still didn't understand.

"Food and grass are things that happen after leaving the capital. From the capital to Suizhou, it will pass through the four places of Riling, Qinghuai, Yaozhou, and Bianmu. It only takes three days. No one dares to do such a big thing in the daytime."

If you are brave, then you can only do it at night, and at night, they only have two nights, namely Qinghuai and Bianmu."

"They have at least 70,000 grains and grasses in their hands. They can either store the grains and grasses in one place and wait until the risk has passed before transporting them away during the autumn harvest, or they can transport them away in batches little by little every day. No matter which one it is,

It means that these grains and grasses are still in one of the two places, at least until now."

After hearing Zhan Beixiao's analysis, Feng Qinghua immediately said: "Then what are you waiting for? Let's go find it now."

Zhan Beixiao curled his lips: "What's the use of finding food and grass now? Don't you want to know who is so bold behind it?"

"Then how do you know this? The most important thing now is not to get the food and grass back first. What if they jump over the wall and burn the food and grass?"

Zhan Beixiao shook his head: "No, they need this food and grass, otherwise they wouldn't steal it in such a roundabout way. Wouldn't it be most direct to destroy it directly?"

Feng Qinghua thinks she is quite smart, but when it comes to these twists and turns, she feels a little dizzy. I can only say that these people who play tricks are really heartless and their routines are too deep.

"Then tell me, what should we do now?"

"Think about it, where does the moldy grain come from? Isn't this a clue?"

Feng Qinghua was still a little confused at first, but suddenly after his reminder, she realized: "Yes, collecting such a large amount of moldy rice will definitely cause a stir. No matter how secretive it is, someone will definitely bring it up as a talking point.

"

"It should be something that happened in the near future. After all, no one knew that Jiang Wan could really raise 100,000 Dan in advance. Those people must have thought of this method after knowing the news."

"So where did you arrange Liu Ying and the others? We don't have reliable manpower now. Who knows if there is any detailed work in the prefect's yamen, so as not to scare the snake again." Feng Qinghua said silently, Ming

Knowing that he was here to investigate a case, he only brought one person with him. How confident was he in himself?

Zhan Beixiao raised his eyebrows and glanced at her: "Who told you that I only brought one person with me?"

Just as he was talking, Liu Ying walked into the lobby, holding a person in his hand and pushing the person to the ground. Feng Qinghua took a look and saw that it was Cong Wenliang's master.

"Why did you catch him?" Feng Qinghua was confused.

"The princess didn't know anything. As early as after entering the prefect's yamen, the master ordered his subordinates to stay hidden and closely monitor any changes in the mansion. The day before yesterday, when Wenliang left the front foot, he flew to Suizhou with a pigeon message. He could not escape the death of following Wenliang.

Because of the relationship, just now my subordinates discovered that he was planning to pack his luggage and leave through the back door, so they captured him." Liu Ying said neither humble nor arrogant.

After hearing this, Feng Qinghua began to look squarely at the master in front of her. She had doubted her. Ever since Wen Liang worked in the front office, the person closest to him was this master. However, she felt at the time that this master was

Having followed Cong Wenliang for more than ten years, she did not have anything to do with his death, but she underestimated human nature.

"I don't understand what you are saying. I just want to leave. The adults are all dead, so there is no use for me to stay here." The master continued to struggle.

"Master, you should be an insider, right? There are guards all around the warehouse, and only the prefect can enter. As the master, as long as you say you are ordered to check, no one will stop you. The powder on those sacks is a cover-up you sprinkled.
