Chapter 605

Li Luoyang, who had just returned to Taiyuan, received a "warm" welcome from Mo Jiao. When he returned to old man Zhu's house, Zhou Dong took Li Guo and Xiao Si away for the first time. Old man Zhu also asked Mo Jiao and others to go back to the house for a rest. They were chatting with Li Luoyang alone in the courtyard. They wanted to know whether Li Luoyang found the truth after he left. For old man Zhu, He is the person in charge of the six gates in Taiyuan. He has the obligation and power to deal with major cases such as arson, and he still burns official food.

For Zhou Dong, it's mainly curiosity. He wants to see where the limit of Li Luoyang is. Zhou Dong has heard a lot about the Taiyuan famine from old man Zhu. There is no doubt about Li Luoyang's performance. Whether it's taking over the official grain team of Niu Gao or distributing grain for the hungry, Li Luoyang's performance is beyond the range that can be thought of at his age, So Zhou Dong also began to observe the limits of Li Luoyang.

This time, Li Luoyang, Li Guo and others went out to find out the truth about the fire in the granary. When Li Luoyang returned, Zhou Dong was eager to know whether this guy had found anything. However, when old man Zhu asked, Li Luoyang's first words made Zhou Dong feel that Li Luoyang really found something.

"Have eyebrows and eyes? What did you find?" old man Zhu asked quickly.

"Before the granary in Taiyuan caught fire, someone stole official grain."

"Stealing official grain? It's impossible. Although the guards there are not strong, they are also people in the army. Does anyone in Taiyuan dare to do so?"

Li Luoyang continued with a smile: "It's not just that. After the official grain was stolen, the granary caught fire, which means that the people who stole the official grain knew that the granary would be destroyed in a fire, so they stole the grain in advance. The reason for doing so is very simple. The famine outside and once the grain in Taiyuan city was burned, it means that the whole Taiyuan government will be in trouble, and the people who hold the grain in their hands can earn money at this time Take a lot of money and maybe get what they want, because they have enough food. "

"Do you mean that the official grain finally came to some unscrupulous businessmen?" old man Zhu soon understood the meaning of Li Luoyang's words. After the grain was stolen, it came to the businessmen, who could get the greatest benefit in troubled times.

"Yes, according to my investigation, most of the stolen official grain appeared in the nearby villages. That's why there are still a lot of grain stored in the nearby villages in the famine in Taiyuan, because they have been prepared and got a lot of food to deal with the famine. If we hadn't entered Wang Dahu's village on the way to Taiyuan, we wouldn't have known the nearby villages It's obvious now that some people stole official grain, gave it to the people in nearby villages, and took the opportunity to burn down the granary, making the famine more widespread. "

Old man Zhu frowned and asked in a low voice, "Luoyang, since you already know all this, have you found out the murderer?" I wish the old man was more eager than anyone to know who the murderer was. After all, from here on, someone stole official food and set fire to the granary. Such a big thing was released under his eyes. His peers knew it, but he would be laughed off.

"I wonder if you two predecessors have heard of a man named Gao Ming."

"Clever?" Zhou Dong and old man Zhu both showed puzzled expressions on their faces. One was senior Lvlin and the other was the general director of the six doors in Taiyuan. They both had profound experience, but their expressions seemed to tell Li Luoyang that they were very strange.

"I haven't heard of this name in Taiyuan for so many years. Who is this man? Is he the real murderer of arson?"

"It's very possible. Since there are no outsiders here, I beg you to give me a sincere word."

"Truth?"

"You've been in Taiyuan for many years. What's your opinion about the Wu family in Baiyun Mountain? Like the six doors headquarters, you fight against them?" Li Luoyang knows very well that if old man Zhu has the task of investigating Baiyun mountain like Mo Jiao and others, Li Luoyang will not tell him all the truth. Instead, Li Luoyang is willing to tell old man Zhu all the details of his trip to Baiyun Mountain.

Before, eight monks from the Wu family, old man Zhu had realized that they knew each other's identity. Li Luoyang didn't see old man Zhu targeting these eight people, but let him live here for a long time.

Old man Zhu smiled: "if I really stand against the Wu family, can the eight monks live here? As I said before, the Wu family has no struggle with the world, and the eight monks in Taiyuan have never made trouble. Why should I target them? In my eyes, the Wu family in Baiyun Mountain is the same as the people in Taiyuan and needs the protection of the imperial court."

With old man Zhu's clear statement, Li Luoyang said slowly: "In fact, these clues come from the Wu family. They have long investigated that someone stole official food and set fire. But at the critical time of the investigation, there was an incident in the Wu family, which forced them to stop their investigation and deal with the changes in the family. Gao Ming was told by the Wu family. This person suddenly appeared in the nearby village a few years ago, and the nearby village began after this person appeared With rapid development, they have even begun to cultivate their own nursing homes. Wang Dahu's Zhuang Luo is a typical example. "

Old man Zhu stroked his white beard and whispered, "in recent years, the development speed of nearby villages outside the city is really doubtful. I have secretly checked it and found no abnormality, but I didn't expect that it was because a man named Gao Ming came. What is his identity? He can bring such a great influence."

"Federation of merchants."

Zhou Dong's expression became extremely complex. The news that Li Luoyang was in Luoyang was told by the merchant Federation. Even he didn't know what kind of strength the organization had. Zhou Dong just vaguely felt that the merchant Federation was not simple.

"I know this organization, but they are all businessmen who gather together. They are mainly buying and selling." the old man is the head of six doors in Taiyuan. The eye liner is also a vast fabric.

Li Luoyang continued: "According to the information provided to me by the Wu family, Gao Ming is likely to be the one who stole the official grain and set fire, because the official grain finally appeared in the nearby village, and who among the village has such strength to sneak into the granary to steal. Last time, we fought with Wang Xiaohu on the way to Taiyuan. At that time, a mysterious expert saved Wang Xiaohu, and that person was Gao Ming, he has enough strength to enter the granary of Taiyuan city to steal and set fire. Even if there are guards there, he can easily succeed. "

Facing Li Luoyang's analysis, Zhou Dong and old man Zhu nodded repeatedly. If, as Li Luoyang said, the stolen official grain finally appeared in the nearby village, it is likely that the people of the village also participated in the theft and arson.
