Chapter 180 180. Traces

When Prince Kang comes, I will sweep the bed to welcome you.

The two of them complimented each other for a long time, until the Ninth Prince next to them became a little impatient and then they dispersed and went back to their respective homes.

General Sus Mansion and Prince Kangs Mansion were in the same direction, so they traveled together.

In the carriage, Xiao Muqian's face looked ugly, "The military situation is urgent, but it will take three days before departure. I'm worried that my second uncle's side won't be able to hold on!"

"Don't worry, General Xiao Ji has been stationed in Liangzhou for twenty years, and he is still able to deal with some soldiers from Beidi. This time, His Majesty is going to pave the way for the Ninth Prince. Such a great feat has fallen on him. He will not be crowned a prince after he returns from victory. That's weird." General Su analyzed.

Next to him, Mr. Kang nodded, quite acknowledging what he said. After thinking about it, he warned again, "Qian'er, when I go to help your second uncle this time, remember not to be greedy for credit or to rush in, otherwise you will be caught by the Ninth Prince. If you don't get the handle, your second uncle's place is really in danger, you know?"

Grandpa, dont worry. My grandson knows the priorities. He is just worried about his second uncle.

The anxious look on his face is not fake. After all, he has been around him since he was a child, so he should be more worried.

Seeing him like this, Prince Kang always comforted him.

General Su couldn't help but sigh, "After all, they are the sons and grandsons of the old prince, but they are more mature. When I think of the ancestor of my family, I feel unhappy."

Looking at General Su's expression of hatred for steel, Xiao Muqian felt sorry for Su Cheng. If what he was doing at the moment could be made public, General Su would surely be proud of him. It's a pity that some people have It is destined that we can only act in the dark.

Such is the case in Su Cheng, and so is Xu Lin.

The entire secret guard camp of Prince Ding's Mansion knows that once you enter this gate, you can't even think about living in broad daylight.

Maybe they will leave a lot of infamy behind them, and maybe no one will know what they have done until they die, but no one regrets it, and no one shrinks back. Everything is their own choice.

At this moment, Xu Lin, who was hiding in Xuzhou with Feng Jinxu, was outside looking for news.

In the inn, Feng Jinxu had just cleaned up. Along the way, they either stopped in the wilderness or in a carriage. They wanted to rush to Jinling City and take a rest. Unexpectedly, they were unexpectedly surprised when they arrived in Xuzhou. Discover.

Xu Lin took his men outside to check for clues, and they temporarily rested in this inconspicuous inn.

There was a knock on the door, "Young Master, it's me."

"Come in." As soon as he finished speaking, Fu Yi came in with delicious food, "Young master, I asked the store to cook some food. Eat it while it's hot. The other brothers have made arrangements and rested here. , as for Xu Lin and the two people he took out, they can also have hot meals when they come back."

He ate either beef jerky or naan bread along the way. His mouth was almost empty of smoke. He was finally able to eat a bowl of hot food, so naturally he had to arrange it for everyone.

Feng Jinxu showed an expression of approval. Fu Yi had been with him for many years. He was not only highly skilled in martial arts but also meticulous. He was indeed a rare and good helper.

When he was working in Dali Temple, he had to investigate cases from time to time, so Fu Yi also developed a lot of skills. Unfortunately, these things were not enough for Xu Lin and others.

Fu Yi was a little dissatisfied at first, but as he walked all the way here, he finally saw what it means to have people outside the world, and there is a world outside the world. He admired Xu Lin and his subordinates for their abilities. Therefore, we really treat him as a brother, and no good thing will leave them behind.

The official ship of Duke Wei was burned in Xuzhou, but there was no news about it in the eastern capital city. It must be because of some ulterior secret, otherwise it would have been burned sooner rather than later. It happened only after the death of Governor Cao. .

So Xu Lin took people to investigate.

After a hearty meal with just a few dishes of side dishes, Feng Jinxu took out the list A Yao had given him before leaving and looked at it again.

"Brother, these are the names that my mother and I heard from the people when we were in the south of the Yangtze River. They were either from the fish and meat village, or they were doing evil. Although you are here to investigate the Water Transport Department, I thought, the ditches are smelly, and the fish and shrimps are not there either. There will be some good stuff. You can follow the clues and see if there is any collusion with the Water Transport Department behind the scenes?"

A Yao's words still ring in my ears. There are both officials and businessmen on the list. Collusion between officials and businessmen has always been nothing unusual. It would be a mistake to alert others, so let's start the investigation from the Chi family.

Wherever he looked, there were three characters "Chi Zi Mo" written in beautiful handwriting. This is the current head of the Chi family. I heard that he is not even thirty yet, but he already has the huge Chi family in his hands. It seems that he is still young. Very few achieve success.

Feng Jinxu, who was still thinking, was quickly interrupted by the movement outside the door. Xu Lin and his men hurried in, with their usual serious expressions on their faces.

"How to say?"

The eldest young masters guess is correct. Someone concealed the news about the burning of the Wei familys official ship and did not send it to the capital. My subordinates went to investigate and found that the fire was deliberately set by someone and there were traces of kerosene on it.

Feng Jinxu frowned and set fire to the official ships of the Wei family. There were really not many people in the court who dared to do so. The eldest prince's faction was the most hostile to the Wei family, but he probably wasn't strong enough to do so when he was in Xuzhou.

Is there anything else?

"Yes, although it has been cleaned, my subordinates smelled the smell of blood, and also found an inconspicuous piece of cloth on the hemp rope beside the boat. It was probably accidentally scraped by someone when they were running for their lives."

After saying that, he handed the strip of cloth to Feng Jinxu. There was no blood on it, indicating that the person who escaped might not have been injured.

The person with the navy blue brocade pattern must be an official, otherwise ordinary people would not be able to use the material with this brocade pattern to make clothing.

In this way, it can be roughly inferred that the official ship of the Wei family was carrying an official with such an unknown purpose. However, when he arrived here, he was plotted and the accompanying **** was killed, but he escaped alive. God, where are you going? The most likely possibility is Dongdu City.

"Xu Lin, please send a message back to the people in the capital to find this person as soon as possible. It is best to start with officials from the thirteen cities of Zhejiang and Zhejiang. It is possible that someone has mysteriously disappeared or has not appeared for a long time. If we follow this road, we might be able to find out who escaped quickly!"

"yes!"

Xu Lin followed Feng Jinxu all the way south. He admired this man's ability to see things clearly. However, it only took a few days of paying attention to confirm that he was a member of the army. Now, even a small piece of cloth can be traced out. With so many clues coming, it seemed that the prince had really found the right person when he sent him to follow him.

With him here, maybe those dirty things in the Water Transport Department will be exposed!
