What Li Jiuzhou had to do next was to keep a close eye on Xu Mansion and Lishantang.

Old man Zhang has taken people to Lishantang to guard the situation. The building has been empty, and nothing has been found.

On the Xu Mansion, there are already a striking Fengxiang family, so naturally there are countless pairs of eyes watching.

Li Jiuzhou sat down and analyzed calmly in his spare time.

Whenever a crime is committed, clues will be left on the scene, whether direct or indirect traces.

Did you ignore something?

I closed my eyes and simulated the escort and robbery process, and then went to the scene to see the traces left by the carriage and horses, but I still had no clue.

The sun was hanging high, it was already noon.

Li Jiuzhou brought a few constables to Xu Mansion.

Li Jiuzhou asked several constables to check around, walked to Xu Shanren, and made a brief compilation first, and asked: "Xu Shanren, who have the men offended or have had a holiday with whom?

”

Xu Shanren took off his hat and exposed his white hair on his head. "My son has always been simple and careless, so how could he offend anyone?"

Li Jiuzhou stared at him with his eyes, looking at every subtle movement and expression of his.

Xu Shanren was very anxious, but his eyes were dazed and his eyes were vague when he spoke.

Looking at Xu Shanren's anxious expression, Li Jiuzhou suddenly felt something was wrong.

Although he was sad, he was too anxious.

This reaction is somewhat abnormal.

Observing words and expressions is also a skill for investigators.

In Li Jiuzhou's opinion, Xu Shanren acted something wrong, but it was just intuition and guesswork. Without real evidence, he could not draw conclusions.

Xu Shanren asked casually: "The dog died inexplicably. I don't know what clues have been found in the government?"

Li Jiuzhou bent down at him and said, "I haven't found any clues yet."

Xu Shanren sighed, turned around and left.

Several detectives looked around and found nothing. The group also left the door. Li Jiuzhou was still thinking about something while walking.

After walking a few steps, Li Jiuzhou didn't pay much attention to the road and collided with the person running towards him.

When I looked up, I saw that this was the woman in the brothel.

The woman who was having fun with Xu Du in the room on the day Xu Du was killed.

The woman ran in a hurry, and Li Jiuzhou hurriedly held her firmly from her arms, looked at her in confusion, and asked, "Miss, you are so hurrying, but what's the important thing?"

Xu Du died in her room. Li Jiuzhou disliked her identity and did not give her any good face, so he called her "Miss".

The title of Miss was a derogatory term in the Tang Dynasty, specifically referring to brothel women.

The woman was not angry and looked up and said, "I'm here to find a disaster relief envoy."

Li Jiuzhou frowned slightly: "Look for me? What's the matter?"

The woman looked around carefully.

Seeing this, Li Jiuzhou knew that it was inconvenient to speak here, so he led her to a corner without anyone else.

"Xu Lang has been away from home for several days, and his luggage has been in my room." The woman took out a booklet from her arms. "When I looked through her luggage, I found this booklet. When I saw that it was of great importance, I came to hand it over to the disaster relief envoy.

”

Li Jiuzhou took the booklet, flipped it out, and was immediately shocked.

This booklet is a booklet, which is quite similar to the booklet I found in Lishan Hall before.

The above records the income of Xu Mansion over the years.

As Fengxiang all knows, Xu's mansion is in the silk business.

But this account records the income of Xu's family in Fengxiang villages.

The villagers are all poor people, so how can they have money to buy silk? If it weren't for silk income, what income could Xu's mansion have in the village?

Li Jiuzhou couldn't help but associate it with the group of men in red who had organized themselves to go to various villages to pretend to be a god and deceive the people's money.

Besides, the amount of money was large and the whereabouts of the Xu family was unknown. The Xu family suddenly had a lot of money, and no one would doubt it.

"Madam, does anyone else know about this?" Li Jiuzhou changed his name.

The woman said, "I saw that this book was strange and I didn't tell anyone else, so I sent it as soon as possible."

Li Jiuzhou nodded with confidence, "You are clear about the matter, so you go back and pretend not to know. When I finish researching, if you can solve the case, you will be a great achievement and will inevitably have many benefits."

The women in brothels generally love money the most. The woman smiled and replied, "Thank you for the disaster relief envoy."

Seeing her walking away, Li Jiuzhou was still worried and carefully read the booklet.

Sure enough, there is something wrong with the Xu family, and maybe there is a lot of gray income.

As for the actions of doing good, it is just to cover up.

Li Jiuzhou suddenly had some clues and returned to the government office to tell Liu Yongyan about this matter to his own speculation.

When Liu Yongyan heard this, he was also surprised and said in disbelief: "With my understanding of Xu Shanren, he cannot do this."

Li Jiuzhou said: "Knowing people, but not their hearts, and Liu Taishou also knows this truth. There are many people in the world who use any means to make money."

"Then what are you going to do?" Liu Yongyan asked about his opinion.

Li Jiuzhou looked at him and said, "I have sent someone to keep an eye on the Xu Mansion. If there is any abnormal movement, it will reveal its legs."

Liu Yongyan asked again: "What if he doesn't move?"

Li Jiuzhou put away the booklet, "There is another thing that is extremely important. Check the accounts of Xu Mansion over the years and you will know it once you check it."

Big families have accounts, and if they make fake accounts, they can also see the clues.

Liu Yongyan shook his head straight, "I'm afraid this matter is not easy."

Li Jiuzhou saw his expression and guessed that the Xu family was in Fengxiang. Local officials transferred from outside generally had to rely on local forces to gain a foothold. Liu Yongyan was not a local from Fengxiang, so naturally he did not dare to offend local big players easily.

If there is a real fall, I am afraid that the prefect may not be able to fight against the complex forces in the local area.

Li Jiuzhou didn't care about this much, "Since there is a person who suspects, we will start investigating the Xu Mansion. Liu Taishou can find an opportunity to take the opportunity to check the Xu Mansion accounts."

"Xu Shanren is in the pain of losing his son at the moment, and it is not easy to find this time. I will think about it carefully." Liu Yongyan's eyes were slightly dark, but he nodded.

"I asked the prefect to summon local bad people and pay close attention to every move of the Xu Mansion." Li Jiuzhou was still a little worried, and felt that he should send more people to keep an eye on the Xu Mansion.

"Also, mobilize all those who can be used, and all parts of Fengxiang City must be inspected strictly." Li Jiuzhou added.

Liu Yongyan did not dare to underestimate the words of this imperial envoy of the court, so he immediately went to make arrangements.

All cases seem to be a mess, but in fact, if you take care of it, as long as you sort out a thread, you can always sort out the mess along.

Finally, he had some clues and was one step closer to the truth being revealed. Li Jiuzhou relaxed a little, picked up the tea cup on the table, and slowly tasted the tea.

Fengxiang Mansion is simple. Although this tea is not very good, it feels a bit sweet and moist in Li Jiuzhou's mouth.

Once he is in a good mood, everything will be fine. Li Jiuzhou is likely to conclude that Xu Shanren is related to this case, so he will see when he will show his strength.
