Turbulent Times Chapter 605: Smart anti-drug plan

Everyone nodded in agreement, and began to look for clues separately.

This manor may have a small lake. It is obviously a manor of a wealthy family. The rooms are well-furnished, and there are calligraphy and painting decorations on the walls of the living room. However, as everyone expected, everything is clean. , leaving nothing but household utensils.

But Wang Junlin refused to let go of any space. When everyone was at a loss, he picked up some fragments of tea leaves from the ground, sniffed them, and said, "It turned out to be ours." Lihua Fragrant Tea, moreover, the tea leaves are fried with the yellow buds and leaves of Mount Hua, straight and even, with a greenish yellow color.”

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, thinking that only his Lord Hou could tell so many truths and see so many problems with a piece of tea.

Shan Xiongxin frowned and said, "Even if you know what kind of tea it is, what effect can it have?"

Shen Guang interjected: "As Gao Ying and Qiu Fu, they would never bring tea with them. The people below should be ready to honor them."

Wang Junlin nodded with satisfaction and said: "Yes, this possibility is very high. As far as I know, this kind of fried tea is only sold in our Lihua Tea Shop in the capital. One of the teas, it has only been on the market for a few days, and it is easy to find out who bought this tea. If so, we will have an extra clue."

Everyone was convinced.

Everyone inspected again, and after finding nothing new, they walked towards the backyard.

Soon, everyone entered one of the bedrooms, the bed curtains were drooping, and the bedding inside was messy. As Wang Junlin had expected before, the other party not only left in a hurry, but also left in the middle of the night. If it is during the day, these quilts should be neatly packed.

When everyone observed carefully like Wang Junlin, Wang Junlin had already lifted the curtain and sat on the edge of the bed, picked up the quilt and pillow and smelled it.

Everyone was looking forward to him, so they patiently waited for him to speak.

After a while, Wang Junlin put down the quilt and pillow, and said, "This sleeping tent and quilt have been scented with common fragrances, but the pillows carry a different kind of fragrance, which is obviously a fragrance that only women like to use. What’s more, the rosin from the masson pine is used to smoke the quilt tent, which is not only for good smell, but also has the benefits of moisture-proof, anti-corrosion, and insect repellent.”

Pause, then picked up the pillow and smelled it again, said: "As for the aroma on the pillow, it should be the spice refined from the sweet-scented osmanthus flower, which is the best quality of osmanthus, which ordinary people can't afford. Sell this in the capital There will never be too many waiting for the spice shop, and it should be possible to find out with some effort. However, there is no need to search for this scent, we can chase this smell to find someone."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and Nie Xiaoyu was the only one who could follow the scent to find someone, but Wang Junlin would not say such things easily.

…

…

Three miles south of the capital is the famous Weihe River in Guanzhong, where there is a pontoon bridge across the water.

There are dozens of piers, large and small, on both sides of the strait, and dozens of ships of various types are moored. Ships are constantly coming and going, and the waterway traffic is frequent and lively.

Wang Junlin, Nie Xiaoyu, Chen Danying, Shen Guang, Jing Tian, ​​Ye Ying, and Shan Xiongxin stopped in a small boat between two cargo ships.

Due to the need to give way to the river channel, and the number of piers is limited, the ships are all berthed close to each other, and the appearance of their small boats will not attract anyone's attention.

Wang Junlin looked at the busy scene of loading and unloading goods on the shore, and said with some surprise: "This is the first time I have come here, I did not expect that the river transportation here is so prosperous"

Jing Tian quickly said: "This kind of water transportation can bring a lot of tax revenue to the imperial court, and can supply a lot of living things in other places to the imperial court. It is the economic lifeline of the capital."

Wang Junlin nodded, slowly scanned the boats, and said with a headache, "Which boat is it?"

Overnight, Shen Guang found clues through the tea shop and spice shop. Sure enough, someone ordered a batch of specific spices and this Huashan yellow bud leaf fried tea at the same time.

And the most wonderful thing is that the people who drink this kind of tea don't know if it's Gao Ying, Qiu Fu, or someone else on their side. There was only a small amount of fried yellow bud leaves in stock, and there was no surplus in the tea shop at that time, so the other party specifically asked the tea shop to send someone to deliver the tea to one of the docks here, and then take it away in a small boat, so they followed it here.

Wang Junlin said: "Although the goods are picked up at the pier here, they can be transferred to any ship on this vast river. That's why the other party dared to ask the tea shop guy to deliver the tea."

Jing Tian said confidently: "Master Hou, the Red Knife Society is also in the water transport business, and the humble staff is also familiar with the problems in this area. The ships here can be divided into three types: merchant ships, passenger ships, and fishing boats. In order to prevent tax evasion, by There are officials in the imperial court who check the entry and exit of ships very strictly and have detailed records. Just send someone to check and find a big ship that is not small in size, and it has been parked here for at least two days, but no passengers or cargo have been loaded or unloaded. This is not far away. Already!"

Wang Junlin praised: "That's right, you have thought carefully and thoughtfully about this matter. If you can find Gao Ying and Qiu Fu, it will be your first contribution."

Jing Tian was overjoyed when he heard the words: "Thank you, Lord Hou."

Shan Xiongxin said suddenly: "Master, Lord Hou, since Gao Ying is like the leader of the rebels in the eyes of His Royal Highness, I think that the other party's ship must be the last one berthed at the pier like our current boat. on the outskirts, because if they are discovered, this will allow them to sail away at any time."

Wang Junlin's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he praised Shan Xiongxin without hesitation. He thought that this guy could leave his name in history. Two brushes.

At this time, Nie Xiaoyu suddenly turned his eyes to a three-masted ship not far away. Wang Junlin was mostly focused on Nie Xiaoyu who never spoke under normal circumstances. At this time, he followed Nie Xiaoyu's gaze Looking at the three-masted ship carefully, his body shook, and he said: "This ship is very suspicious. It seems to be anchored in the middle of the two ships, but there is no one on the three ships. It is busy with the other ships. The situation is quite different.”

Everyone followed his gaze.

I saw three boats moored at one of the piers on the opposite bank, the middle one was twice the size of the other two, and there were two floors on the deck, and sure enough, no one was walking around on the three boats.

Jing Tian said: "Master Hou, the Red Knife Society has some friendship with the tax officials here, so I arranged for the lowly position to pretend to be the tax officials and a few small officials to investigate these three boats. There can be results."
