After the fairy disappeared

Chapter 483

The tower is seven stories high and is located on the south bank of Chaohu Lake.

It is not so much a lake as it is a large wetland that stretches as far as the eye can see.

Climbing the tower and looking far away, you can see the sparkling water, dotted with small islands, birds flying on the sandbar, and there is vitality everywhere.

Therefore, there are many tourists in Chaohu Tower, and they are all idlers who have climbed to the top.

After He Lingchuan ascended the tower, he frowned secretly:

Not only are there many tourists here, but there is even a teahouse on the fourth floor!

Tourists can drink tea and watch the scenery, listen to books and meet friends here. When they sit at the table, the cool breeze blows from the lake, blowing away half of the summer heat in July.

Because of the comfortable stay, all ten tables here are full, and there is no free time.

No wonder Mr. Mai is doing business with others here. The tourists and tea drinkers who come and go are the best cover.

He Lingchuan remembered what he had deciphered again.

It only said the time and place, but there was no code word for the joint.

In other words, Mr. Mai and the other party recognize each other, and there is no need to use code words to identify them.

This is troublesome, you can't impersonate.

And the other party will know that there is a change before Mr. Mai waits here, and he should leave soon.

How can we accurately distinguish Mr. Mai's accomplices from so many tourists?
"My lord?" The county magistrate Baisha was staring at the scenery outside the tower for a long time in a daze.

"Are there always so many people in this tower?"

"Uh, yes, this is one of the local scenic spots." The magistrate of Baisha County thought he was interested in traveling. "The tea cakes in this teahouse are unique in our local area. Many people bought them back to their hometowns as gifts."

"Let them add a table on the porch, and we'll have tea."

Sure enough, the store set up a four-corner table for them on the verandah on the fourth floor of the pagoda, serving tea, fruit and food.

The tea cakes are good, but He Lingchuan prefers dried sweet potatoes, which are peeled and steamed three times and roasted three times. They taste sweet, soft and chewy, and are very suitable for chatting with tea.

The county magistrate of Baishayu came here nervously, seeing him with a pleasant face and no longer made things difficult yesterday, he also heaved a sigh of relief and became even more courteous.

He Lingchuan arrived yesterday for the first time, so he will definitely give him a blow.Otherwise, this kind of veteran in the officialdom will be sure that he can be bullied when he is young, and he can be bullied by others.

But today it is not suitable to be harsh and harsh. With a little reassurance, the county magistrate Baishayu will be more obedient, and will cooperate with him in the future.

This is He Chunhua's usual way of controlling his subordinates. He Lingchuan has been by his side for many years and has a lot of experience.

There are many ways to be an official.

Sitting here, the breeze is blowing on the face, the eyes are open, and even the chest is stretched.

Such a beautiful day, but there are always people in the world who have to live up to it.

He Lingchuan sipped his tea slowly, thinking about Fu Songhua who was caught by Zhong Sunmou, how likely was it that he was the real murderer?

However, I haven't heard anything about Mr. Mai, and this fellow seems to be still at large.

If Fu Songhua is the mastermind, the transaction on the Chaohu Pagoda will naturally be cancelled, and will not continue;

If he was not, would Mr. Mai and the mastermind behind the scenes have both escaped?Then the Chaohu Tower transaction is impossible.

Pushing back and forth, there is no need for this transaction maintained by code words, so why should he bother?

Well, is that true?
He Lingchuan raised his head occasionally and saw the majestic body of the pagoda with fine stone carvings, which shows that it took a lot of labor to build it.But after being exposed to the wind and the sun for a long time, a large stone slab above it has fallen off, exposing the plaster underneath.

He stretched out his hand and pointed upwards: "This is not very elegant."

The county magistrate of Baishayu looked up: "Oh, I wanted to send someone over to repair it, but old general Ling said he wanted to donate it for repairs, but he didn't do it for a long time. That's the way it is."

He Lingchuan stroked his chin: "A place of interest, there are countless tourists every day, so it's neither good-looking nor safe to leave it like this."

"Yes, yes." The county magistrate Baishahao didn't know what he wanted, so he could only agree.

Isn't this special envoy too lenient?So many things at a young age.

He Lingchuan just mentioned it in passing, without going deep into it, and started asking about local customs.

When the atmosphere finally became harmonious, He Lingchuan seemed to have inadvertently mentioned: "By the way, what are the inspectors doing these days?"

"Are you trying a case?" The county magistrate thought for a while, "I heard that he turned down many meetings and banquets."

\\\\\

Three days later, Zhongsun Mou was about to leave for the north.

Someone outside begged to see him again, and he let out a breath of annoyance.

The person who came was to deliver materials, a thick stack.

Zhong Sunmou signaled to the guards to take it, and then said: "Don't keep running to my place, there are too many people."

"This is the last batch of materials. My master wishes you a smooth journey."

In desperation, Zhong Sunmou piled up the materials on the desk and checked them one by one.

Before returning to Lingxu City, he had to make sure that the accounts were in perfect order without any mistakes.

Fu Songhua was arrested six days ago, and the safest thing to do is to immediately escort him to the north to avoid long nights and dreams.

But he can't.

He's got to review the evidence word for word here!

These evidences, after returning to Lingxu City, will be checked repeatedly by countless pairs of wisdom eyes, and may even be presented to the emperor.Just thinking about this one made him feel a lot of pressure.

The people and the evidence were all brought back by Zhong Sunmou. He had to make sure everything was correct, otherwise...

His eyes were sour, and he was about to ask someone to serve another cup of cassia seed tea, when a guard came to report:

"The prince's special envoy, He Xiao, and the county magistrate Baishahou are asking for an audience!"

Zhong Sunmou's expression changed, and the kid finally came.

The so-called special envoy of the prince also came to Baisha, he knew about it a long time ago, but he ignored it.As a result, the other party was also very patient, and only now came to the door.

Zhong Sunmou put away the case, walked back to the courtyard and said, "Let him in."

He Lingchuan paced in, accompanied by a fierce tiger, and a county magistrate Tian behind him.

"The scenery here is also good, you can see the lake from the window."

"I'm very busy." Zhong Sunmou didn't greet him or give him a good face, "What's the matter with you?"

"I heard that Master Zhongsun has made great contributions to arresting the spy who killed the white-shouldered eagle messenger!" He Lingchuan said with a smile, "I have to come and see."

This man has been playing in the mountains and rivers in Baisha for the past few days, so why "come here"?Zhongsun Mou sneered slightly: "Yes, the evidence of the crime is solid, the murderer has been arrested, and the special envoy can go back and explain to the prince."

"Then I have to ask, what is the identity of this murderer?" Even if Fu Songhua is not the real murderer of the messenger case, he must have some background, otherwise Zhong Sunmou pushes this person to go back to work, how can he convince Lingxu City?
If he dared to grab a cat or a dog and go back to replace him, let's see how the emperor dealt with him.

"Fu Songhua, a native of Tao, was promoted to Hong Chenglue's Xiaodutong 12 years ago. He fought bravely. Ten years ago, he escaped after assassinating Zhang Guangyi, the governor of Lingxu Hezhou. He was wanted in Hezhou for many years without any results. He was only arrested here six days ago. "

Unexpectedly heard the name of an old acquaintance, He Lingchuan wondered: "I heard that I was an assassin in the past, why has it become a spy now?"

Seeing that he still has the title of the special envoy of the prince, and he was standing on the land of the Chiyan Kingdom, Zhong Sunmou suppressed his impatience and said: "He was originally a secret agent of the Tao Kingdom, and it was also a mission to attack and kill the Governor of Zhang. You don't know about the affairs of the royal court in Lingxu City. Zhang Guangyi's death had a great influence at that time, and directly changed the emperor's decision-making. This time Fu Songhua has been hiding for many years and made another move, just to interfere with our army's war on the Eastern Front."

"He is Mr. Mai's superior?"

"Exactly."

"How to verify?"

Zhong Sunmou couldn't help laughing: "I have collected a whole set of criminal evidence here, which is as solid as a mountain. Do I need to report it to you one by one?"

"Alright." He Lingchuan glanced straight at the study, "That would be the best."

Zhong Sunmou restrained his smile: "Okay, special envoy, don't joke. The prisoner has pleaded guilty, and the file has been sealed, so you can't open it lightly. You don't have any fun staying here. Go back and tell Fu Shanyue the good news and receive the reward."

He Lingchuan also said sternly: "If the messenger surnamed Fu just wants to delay the information, then what is his intention of sending his subordinate Mr. Mai to kill demons and get pearls all over Chiyan?"

"Separation between the monster clan and the government, and instigating troubles are the old professions of secret agents. Otherwise, what do they usually do when they are idle? If you stay in Bega for a long time, you will know that these guys are really pervasive, trying their best to stir up trouble " Zhong Sunmou said calmly, "Those beads are the materials for refining Chiyu Pill, and this time they will also be reported to Lingxu City as evidence."

Chiyu Dan?Aren't saliva beads used to refine elixir?He Lingchuan raised his eyebrows: "Lord Zhongsun solved the huge case lightly, which is amazing. But the crown prince wants me to interrogate the principal criminal. Where is Fu Songhua?"

"Fu Songhua will be escorted back to Lingxu City for trial, and it has nothing to do with you after that."

There seemed to be footsteps outside, and there were many people.Zhong Sun Mouli felt that something was wrong, and stepped back, the guards beside him immediately stepped forward and pressed their hands on the handle of the knife.

"If we can't agree, let's have a showdown." He Lingchuan gave Jiao Yu a wink, and the tiger suddenly roared!
The sound of the tiger roared for ten miles, and immediately more than a hundred people rushed in from outside the courtyard, and surrounded Zhong Sunmou and others.

There was a crackling sound outside, it was the sound of thick boots trampling on the ground, obviously there were a lot of people waiting.

A general strode in and saluted He Lingchuan: "Master Special Envoy!"

This was Chiyan Kingdom's garrison thirty miles away from Baisha. When Jiao Yu went out to handle some errands, he took the special envoy token and seconded them here.

Not many, only 500 people were borrowed.

Fu Shanyue said at the beginning that the token can mobilize the army.

This is by no means a joke.

The two sides suddenly clashed with each other, and the magistrate Baisha was standing in the middle, sweating profusely: "My lords, if you have something to say, talk it out!"

He can't afford to offend either side, why is this?
What kind of blood mold did I encounter, and my luck was so bad recently?

The door of a side room opened, and the two guards were startled, and they poked their heads out, and they were all stunned when they saw the confrontation.

Zhong Sunmou said angrily, "Go back!"

The guard obeyed the order to close the door, but one step too late, the tiger flew forward and scratched the door with a scratch of its paw.

This is an inn, not a fortress wall. How can a wooden door have such a high defense?
In front of the tiger demon's [-]-jin slapping force, it's already a face that it didn't crumble to pieces on the spot.
