Qin Mumu didn't care about Ye An's imperial city promotion work. In her opinion, it was equivalent to protecting Zhao Songtian's family. It was Liu E's entrustment before his death, and it was also Zhao Zhen's trust in the Yunzhong County Marquis Mansion.
Ye An is always the most punctual when he leaves office. Just as the Imperial City Secretary clicked on the clock, Ye An's foot on the other side stepped out of the gate of the government office.
In addition to the officials and soldiers of the Imperial City Department, the chamberlains in the palace were also afraid of Ye An, as if this official promoted by the Imperial City Department had a fear buff on him.
Chen Lin followed Ye An. This old guy was really obsessed with Ye An. No matter whether he was at work or off work, he could always be seen. Ye An also had a big head.
But after a long time, I got used to it, so I turned around and gestured to Chen Lin: "I'm going to Xianmei today, I'm treating you~!"
“Excellent, Xianmeiju’s mutton has been coveted for a long time!”
"You're welcome!"
Chen Lin smiled and said: "It's natural. Why don't you treat a wealthy family like you without going? Not to mention that a certain family lives comfortably in your residence and cares for your house for free. You treat a certain family to a meal."
Isn’t it natural to be good?”
The corner of Ye An's mouth twitched, and Chen Lin no longer regarded her as an outsider, but then said seriously: "Li Heyong sent news that the broker has not gone to his home again. I'm afraid this line has been broken."
"If you still go to such trouble, since you already know who is behind the scenes, why not take action?! Lao Lan is very anxious!"
"What's the use of knowing? Once the "unfounded" label is slapped, the real loss will be greater than the matter itself. After all, he is also the king of the Song Dynasty. How will the clan feel?"
After a pause, Ye An sighed and said: "If it is the official's idea, you should go back and tell the official. Although this can solve the current trouble, it will also damage the official's imperial prestige, and the gain is not worth the loss."
Seeing Chen Lin's nonchalant look, Ye An knew that he was playing the piano to an ox. After passing through the Zuo Chengtian Xiangfu Gate, he got on his own oxcart, and Chen Lin followed him unhurriedly.
This old guy now has a good understanding of the structure of the oxcart carriage. As soon as he got on the carriage, he found a kettle from the drawer fixed on the carriage and started drinking.
"Now that Li He's line is broken, what are you going to do?"
Ye An grabbed the kettle and took a long drink before saying: "It was said to be broken, but it was not broken. Although the man did not go to look for Li Heyong anymore, he was found by Puhui Company..."
"Nonsense! How can your Puhui Company be so capable? How can you find someone who even the Imperial City Division can't find?!"
Ye An rolled his eyes dissatisfied: "Why are you staring with such big eyes? Li Heyong described the characteristics of that person. There are only those brokers on the market. You think all the people in Tokyo are freeloaders.
?The "Bafang Er" at the gate of the Kaifeng government office said that the man was called Sun Zhongcai. He was originally a scholar, but later became a broker for some reason. This man was eloquent and witty, and could always balance the interests of all parties and turn conflicts into friendship. So
He often travels between high-ranking families, but this man is very alert, and few people know where he ends up, let alone where his home is."
Chen Lin frowned for a moment and said: "How did you know his whereabouts when you were at Puhui Company? It is too difficult to find someone in such a big city of Tokyo, not to mention that this person deliberately concealed his whereabouts..."
"Because Sun Zhongcai is addicted to alcohol!"
Chen Lin suddenly realized it, and then curled her lips and said: "No wonder you want to invite me to Xianmeiju, mutton paired with your "pot of fresh" even the Liao people who often eat mutton can't bear it, let alone the Song people.
"
Ye An snapped his fingers: "That's right, do you know why we opened Xishuimen at Xishuimen? Because you can buy the most delicious mutton there and it's convenient for cooking, so the business is very good. I just drew a picture of Sun Zhongcai and posted it.
There is news about him in various hotels and taverns. If you follow the map like this, of course you can find his whereabouts!"
Chen Lin stared at Ye An blankly, and then she said quietly: "You kid, you can always make those complicated things orderly, much simpler! It seems that the Imperial City Secretary
It is indeed a wise move to give it to you! A certain family will soon abdicate to make way for someone more worthy!"
Ye An smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Why, do you really want me to be promoted to the Imperial City Secretary? The officials will not agree!"
Unexpectedly, Chen Lin did not answer, but looked around and said: "Let's go eat meat first, and then go to Sun Zhongcai's place after eating. A certain family wants to see if he is, as you said, in a wealthy family."
The ability to achieve both ends of the spectrum!"
Ye An waved his hand: "Let's find someone first! It's not easy to let others handle this kind of thing. You and I can only come here in person. It's better to find someone first, so as not to have long nights and dreams."
Chen Lin curled her lips: "Who would have thought that it would be found out so quickly? I'm afraid Sun Zhongcai doesn't know that the matter has been exposed yet! What's the hurry? Isn't it just a meal?"
Ye An looked at Chen Lin with wide eyes. This old guy had really changed. If he used to do things first, Chen Lin reluctantly drove to the Killing Pig Lane after Ye An's repeated insistence.
For some reason, Ye An felt uneasy. When he saw children playing in the alley, he winked at Chen Lin. Unexpectedly, as soon as the old man passed by, he scared the innocent child out of his wits and ran away crying.
Helpless, Ye An could only carry the cakes in the car and squat down and ask the children in front of him: "I have cakes here, do you want to eat them?"
Snacks are the best bridge to communicate with children. This has always been the case. Chen Lin saw the cute smiling faces surrounding Ye An and snorted unconsciously: "Do you know where Sun Xiucai's home is?"
"It's right there. The one with the elm tree at the door is his house!"
The two of them looked happy, gave all the cakes to the child, and walked towards the dilapidated courtyard door, but they stopped at the same time as soon as they reached the door.
The faint smell of blood was not strong, but it was still noticed by Ye An and Chen Lin. Both of them were experts, so their reaction was not unpleasant.
Chen Lin jumped up to the wall in a flash, while Ye An gently leaned against the door and pushed it with his hand. The courtyard door opened with a creaking sound, and it seemed that it was not locked.
There was no sound in the small courtyard, and Ye An's expression changed drastically. Sun Xiucai was probably killed.
When he opened the door, he saw a middle-aged man dressed as a scholar lying in a pool of blood. The blood on the ground had solidified. It was winter. If it were summer, there might have been flies around him.
Chen Lin stepped forward to check the wound and said, "The fatal wound on the neck was fatal with one stab."
Ye An, on the other hand, grabbed Sun Xiucai's arm and moved it slowly and said: "Looking at the degree of rigor mortis, the body must have died last night. The body has been completely stiff, but has not started to soften. It has not lasted more than five hours."
"You're pretty good at what you do!" Chen Lin looked at Ye An in surprise, she could always discover new abilities from him.
Ye An frowned and said, "Now the line is disconnected again. Our opponent is far more alert and cunning than we thought!"
