Give you a spring

"So someone in Nanling secretly hid [-] shi zha medicine?"

After learning about this, Guan Yue immediately went out to look for Ping Wei. He thought that Ping Wei and He Zhou might go to eat now that it was approaching the meal time. He also thought that there were two famous teahouses known to everyone last night, one was Tongfu Restaurant and the other was Wanbaotang. They just ate the former this morning. Given the good taste of last night's dishes, Ping Wei and they will most likely choose to try it again.

I have to say that Master Guan guessed wrong in the process, but he was very lucky. He had just reached the entrance of Wanbaotang, and he saw He Zhou and Pingwei who had just finished eating inside.

The three of them came to a nearby alley where no one passed by, and Guan Yue explained the conclusion he just came to in detail.

After speaking, he fell into deep thought again, "But there are only [-] shi, where did the rest go?"

"In Wanbaotang," He Zhou replied.

"What?" Guan Yue looked at him suspiciously.

Pingwei explained, "We just found a few boxes in Wanbaotang's warehouse, two of them smelled like fire medicine, and the rest smelled like fish, I believe it should be..."

Guanyue got through at one point, "It was Fengdu who snatched the five carts of medicine that were originally going to the frontier from Ningyao, and then transported them to Nanling. After Nanling deducted 0.1 shi, they sent them Bring the rest back?" He was quiet for a while, then asked, "Can two boxes hold [-] stone or medicine?"

Ping nodded slightly, "Yes."

"It's not quite right..." Guan Yue frowned tightly, "If Fengdu wanted to send the fire medicine to Nanling from the beginning, why didn't they send it directly to Nanling instead of spending so much money?" Strength, snatch a batch of gunpowder that has been transported to Ningyao?"

Isn't this superfluous.

"And after that, some of them returned to Fengdu inexplicably. Is there any problem between the people on both sides of Fengdu and Nanling?"

He looked at Pingwei with burning eyes, and the other party shook his head with a wry smile, "I don't know, but there should be something special or someone in Fengdu that made one of them suddenly change their minds and want to share a little bit of medicine." Go do something else."

Guan Yue nodded, his face was a little serious now, probably because he knew that the theft of the zha medicine had something to do with Donghu, and that two boxes of zha medicine disappeared inside the Fengdu—God knows where they would bury the zha medicine.

Ping Wei could clearly see the restlessness in his eyes, and he said softly, "We asked the person on the black market this morning, and he said that there is no large-scale goods in circulation recently, and there are no military supplies such as gunpowder for sale. "

Guan Yue frowned and was a little puzzled, "How did Your Highness... contact the people over there?" Guan Yue had never been in contact with the black market, and he had heard a few words from his colleagues before. Things are a little far away from him.At first I thought that Ping Wei was the same as him, but after listening to the other party and He Zhou talking about it these two days, I couldn't help but suddenly felt... His Highness still has a lot of unknown things...

He looked suspiciously at Ping Wei, who said to He Zhou, "Take out that sign."

He Zhou took out a small black card from his pocket and threw it to Guan Yue.

Guan Yue caught it firmly - the sign was only half the size of a palm, pure black, with the word "Congratulations" engraved on it.

"This is?"

"Didn't I live in Yu'an before? At that time, I was a little poor, so I went to the black market to find work because of the need to make a living," Ping Wei said frankly, "Because the rewards in the black market are much higher than those in the ordinary market. We specially help Others solve problems, like some people who encounter some troubles and report to the government but cannot solve them because of legal issues, they usually come to us."

When he spoke, his face was very flat, and his tone hardly fluctuated, but Guan Yue was terrified, and asked carefully, "This solution...is asking you to kill people, or?"

Ping smiled, "Look at their requirements, some will ask us to kill them, and some will just want to give some simple lessons. Generally speaking, we will also screen the commissions we receive, and we will not blindly accept orders, like today's As early as He Zhou mentioned..." He reminded him in the coffin shop that He Zhou had helped a woman who suffered domestic violence get rid of her husband in Pingzhou, and told Guan Yue, "That It was buried directly in the ground."

Guan Yue took a deep breath, "Your Highness...Did His Highness move your hand?"

"Well," Ping smiled.

"..." Guan Yue's heart was turbulent. He didn't expect that Pingwei, who is usually as gentle as jade, would do such a thing. Before Ping Wei said that he was very skilled, He Zhou said that they had been to many places, so he raised the black card in his hand, "Then what is this small card in my hand?"

"This..." Ping Wei raised the corner of his mouth, "The black market will rank every killer every month, and the top three will have this brand."

The implication is that the more people killed, the higher the success rate and the higher the ranking.

Guan Yue thought to himself, there must be countless people doing their kind of work in the black market, after all, as Ping Wei said before, the rewards will be very generous.

In just a few moments, the thoughts in his mind had been turned back and forth, Guan Yue managed to stabilize his mind, and asked, "Where did you get the news?"

"According to past experience, we always go to the coffin shop to pick customers, usually in an alley, the appearance looks tattered, this morning we were lucky, we found them right away," Ping Wei said with long eyes. Looking at Guan Yue anxiously, he asked, "Do you want this small card? You can walk sideways in the black market with this."

"...No need," Guan Yue suddenly felt that the master he had chosen...was very special.

That's the only way to describe it.

Ping Wei: "I asked the people on the black market, and they said that the owner of Wanbaotang is very mysterious and cannot be found out. After you are done with the Arsenal, can you find out who the owner of Wanbaotang is?"

Since the underground channel on the black market side cannot be found, maybe something will be found through the official road.

Guan Yue complied.

After ordering something good, Ping Wei raised his eyes and looked at He Zhou again, "We asked the coffin shop owner about You Buqing this morning, didn't he give too many details, and simply said that he is from Pingzhou."

He Zhou nodded, "Are you going to investigate him later?"

"I'll go," Guan Yue said, "I have someone I know who can help me find out."

He Zhou looked at him for a while, "Okay."

Afterwards, Ping Wei and He Zhou searched for possible routes from Ningyao to Fengdu, and went to the port of Fengdu to see if they were rigorous in checking when goods were unloaded from the ship.

Guan Yue went to check the details of Wanbaotang and You Buqing, and after a lot of effort, he got a piece of news that shocked him, and returned to the other courtyard in fear along the way.

At this time when Xu Shi was approaching, the sky was dark, Guan Yue couldn't find Ping Wei and He Zhou, he was a little restless in the house because of the news he just heard.Fortunately, Ping Wei and He Zhou came back soon afterwards, Guan Yue sat in the front hall, and immediately went up to meet the footsteps coming from the yard.

Seeing his impatient look, He Zhou frowned.

"What's wrong?" Ping Wei asked quickly.

Guan Yue didn't speak, and waited until they reached the front hall before saying word by word, "You Buqing and the boss of Wanbaotang are the same person."

Ping Wei's pupils shrank, "Are you sure?"

"I'm sure," Guan Yue said, "I know someone who can help find out all kinds of information. He is trustworthy and the information he provides is rarely wrong. He told me that You Buqing is the owner of Wanbaotang. This teahouse is located in It opened two years ago, and there have always been many customers.”

Pingwei's eyelids twitched, and he asked, "Can officials do business in private?"

"No," Guan Yue said, "That's why everyone seldom sees the boss of Wanbaotang, and they don't know who he is."

He was so nervous about this matter before because he thought that since the day he came to Fengdu, they have been in contact with You Buqing, the house arranged by the other party, the food delivered, and Wanbaotang's food that night...

Guan Yue remembered that Liang Jingzhao said that there was a possibility that the other party would poison it.

Well, now he's starting to worry too.

"Do you feel any discomfort?" So he raised his head and asked Ping Wei and He Zhou.

Ping Wei shook his head, he guessed what the other party was thinking, "You Buqing shouldn't be so bold, he poisoned us not long after we first arrived, he shouldn't have any serious grudges against us, right?"

To be cautious, he still asked Guan Yue, "Please explain in detail what you found this afternoon."

"You Buqing is from Pingzhou. Your Highness, you know." Guan Yue sat down on a chair and said, "He is 36 years old, his mother's name is Yao Qin, and his brother's name is Yang Jun."

Ping trembled slightly with his hand hanging by his side, and quickly glanced at He Zhou next to him, and the two exchanged glances.

Guan Yue noticed their strangeness, and continued, "You Buqing changed his name. He was called Yang Qing before. I didn't find out why he changed his name, but something happened before that—his brother Yang Jun disappeared. This person had a Daughter-in-law, he has been accused by the other party of raped himself, and even went to the Yamen because of it. Later, it seems that his younger brother Yang Qing, our You Buqing, helped him settle it. This matter caused a lot of trouble in Pingzhou. Neighbors' comments made me lose my temper..."

While talking, Guan Yue observed the expressions of the two people in front of him. He felt that this matter was very familiar, as if he had heard it before somewhere.

Ping Wei smiled dryly on the other side, "It turns out that they really came here to seek revenge."
