Chapter 71 Flute Sound [I can’t change my VIP status in the background. Help me. Please order first! ]

This first sentence made Liang Yue's pupils shrink.

They knew the ending, and at this moment, the wild vegetables on Zhen Changzhi's grave could be harvested. But Zhen Changzhi didn't know it at the time, and you can imagine how panicked he was when he saw this sentence.

And the next words also made Liang Yue's heart move.

"Do you think that the 50,000 taels of silver from Yueyang Trading Company are so easy to take? They got what they wanted, and the next step is to kill you and silence you!"

Yueyang Trading Company...

Liang Yue had just handled Zhang Xingkai's case. Because it involved Zhengyang Lei, Lao Hu chose to protect himself and did not get involved.

Although Zhang Xingkai had undertaken a large number of government-built projects in Yuezhou, he must have had a close relationship with the Ministry of Industry. But Zhen Changzhi was just a small official in Longyuan City, and Zhang Xingkai had just arrived. What kind of big deal could they have?

Fifty thousand taels is by no means a small sum even for the Yueyang Company.

There must be some big secret involved here.

"Someone will come to find you later. If you don't want to die in obscurity, give the things to him. You know, no one can save you except the people above me."

"This is your last chance."

"..."

There were not many words on the letter. Liang Yue recalled the expression on Zhen Changzhi's face when he looked at the letter that day. That indescribable solemnity explained everything.

He must have secretly made some kind of deal with Yueyang Trading Company, and this deal was discovered and used to threaten him.

No one knows who the transaction item was finally given to, but Zhen Changzhi is dead.

Who is the person above?
Zhen Changzhi is at least a sixth-rank official, so the people he can be sure of as his backers... might be the bigwigs in the front row of the court.

It is unknown whether Yueyang Trading Company killed the person to silence him after succeeding, or whether the person who wrote the letter did not keep his promise, or whether Zhen Changzhi did not seize the last chance.

But there was finally a new breakthrough in the case.

After Liang Yue finished reading, Ling Yuanbao also took the letter, read it, thought for a moment, and asked, "What do you think?"

"We can only check this Yueyang business first." Liang Yue replied.

"That's right." Ling Yuanbao nodded, "I think so too."

"A few days ago, our station happened to encounter a case involving this business. I will first use the murder case as an excuse to investigate and see if I can find out if they have any connection with Zhen Changzhi. Try not to alert the enemy." Liang Yue said, "If I need help, I will call you as soon as possible."

He quickly sorted out his thoughts and decided that he should first find out the content of their transaction with Yueyang Trading Company, and then see where that "thing" was.

Zhang Xingkai’s murder happened to be a ready-made excuse.

Even if you think about it more deeply, is his death also related to that transaction?
The following can only be guessed, and we will have to investigate to find out.

"Ah?" Ling Yuanbao was a little reluctant, "We are partners, so I will go with you to check it out."

"That case is rather complicated and has been closed at our station. If the Ministry of Justice is involved, I'm worried they will become alert." Liang Yue looked up at Ling Yuanbao.

The other party looked unwilling and said with a flat mouth: "Do you think I will hold you back?"

After thinking for a while, he changed his words and said, "Besides, how can a general go into battle first? Small matters like gathering information in the early stage can be handled by a small soldier like me. If you, Captain Ling, go directly, with your wisdom and skills, the murderer will definitely be frightened and hide in panic, which will increase the difficulty. For the success of our case, you must stay in the center of the Ministry of Justice!"

"Hehe." Ling Yuanbao immediately smiled: "That's true."

……

General Ling Yuanbao continued to stay in charge, while the soldier Liang Yue went to the Zhuxie Yamen.

He planned to tell Mo Qiuren the complete version of the formation diagram first.

After the announcement, Xie Wenxi came out to greet him. As he walked inside, he said, "Next time, I'll get you a walking badge so you don't have to announce it every time you come back."

"That's great." Liang Yue replied with a smile.

When passing by the courtyard, he looked around but didn't see anyone else...especially Senior Sister Wen.

A little regrettable.

Every Xuanmen disciple in the Zhuxie Division has his own attic. Mo Qiuren likes quietness, so he lives in a attic in the corner.

Xie Wenxi brought him up and saw Mo Qiuren sitting at the table, supporting the little bookworm with his hand, and reading a classic book attentively.

Hearing the two people coming upstairs, Mo Qiuren stood up and greeted them, "Thank you, Master, Junior Brother Liang."

"Senior Brother Mo." Liang Yue greeted him and said, "I went to the Ministry of Justice today to check the extra part of the formation diagram. It should be complete." "Just in time." Mo Qiuren said, "I just tried to restore the formation diagram, and I can confirm it with you."

"So fast?" Xie Wenxi was a little surprised, turned around and said, "You are worthy of being the best successor of the Mo family."

Immediately taking out the previous blueprint, Liang Yue completed the missing parts and soon formed a complete formation diagram.

After finishing, Mo Qiuren took out the portion he had completed.

The two look exactly the same when put together.

Liang Yue didn't understand the art of formation, but from Xie Wenxi's shocked expression, it could be seen that this should be difficult to do.

“There are so many different battle formation diagrams in the world. Even though only a small part is missing, a slight mistake in deduction can lead to a huge difference in the effect. You can make the incomplete diagram exactly the same as the original one in such a short time. I’m afraid your attainments in battle formations are comparable to those of the older generation.” Xie Wenxi sighed repeatedly.

Mo Qiuren was not proud at all, but said: "Thanks to Brother Liang for drawing accurately without any mistakes, I have saved a lot of trouble. What he did was more difficult than what I did."

"You two are rare geniuses in the world, haha." Xie Wenxi said with a smile.

"I dare not." Liang Yue also smiled modestly and asked, "Then what is the purpose of this formation?"

Mo Qiuren said slowly: "Gather the earth veins."

"Hmm?" After these words came out, the other two were a little confused.

What do you want to do by building such a formation at the bottom of the Tower of Babel?
"The large formation that gathers the earth's energy consumes a lot of energy. Once it is activated, it will cause unrest in the earth veins within a radius of hundreds of miles, and there is even the possibility of causing earth dragons to turn over. This formation is equivalent to borrowing the "momentum" of the Tower of Babel. Using the pagoda to suppress the earth veins can eliminate the momentum." Mo Qiuren explained: "According to my guess, there must be something hidden in the nearby earth veins. The person who built the formation wants to dig it out, but doesn't want to attract attention. That's why he thought of this method to achieve his goal quietly."

He didn't know at first, but as soon as Mo Qiuren finished speaking, Liang Yue immediately thought of the information he had obtained before.

In the south of Longyuan City, there is a secret treasure hidden underground. As the earth veins flow, its location cannot be determined.

The person who built the formation with the help of the Tower of Babel is most likely targeting the treasure under the earth veins!
He glanced at Xie Wenxi and Mo Qiuren, but did not say anything for the time being. He believed that the Evil Execution Division had the support of the imperial court and Xuanmen, and should have its own intelligence channels, and would definitely know the news.

If I were to say this rashly, it would arouse suspicion and it would be difficult to explain the source of the information.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Xie Wenxi pondered and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, this formation should be built by Li Longchan."

"He made a deal with Wu Mozi, letting the other party deceive his superiors and build this formation to gather the earth veins. His target should be a treasure under the earth veins. This is why the people of Longhu Hall are afraid that you will catch Wu Mozi. They are afraid that the matter will be exposed!" He said in an affirmative tone.

"It's very likely." Mo Qiuren nodded.

Liang Yue asked: "If we expose this matter, can we bring down Li Longchan?"

"I'll report to Mr. Chen first and then make a decision on how to deal with you." Xie Wenxi looked at Liang Yue, "You have made many contributions during this period. I will arrange for Mr. Chen to meet you as soon as possible, otherwise I don't know how to reward you."

"I am also a disciple of Xuanmen, and this is just my job." Liang Yue said with a smile.

……

To be honest, Liang Yue didn't care much about things like the Dragon and Tiger Hall and the secret treasures of the underground veins. After all, they were matters that were far above him and had nothing to do with him.

What he really cared about was Zhen Changzhi's case. With the discovery of the letter, Yueyang Trading Company was involved again, and he had to investigate first.

Considering that the Zhang family might be keeping vigil at night and resting during the day, he decided to visit them later.

The warehouse of Yueyang Trading Company was in Fukangfang, but the residence of the Zhang family was still some distance away, in a luxury residential area near East Market.

It was getting dark when Liang Yue arrived outside the Zhang family's gate and said directly to the two servants in front of the gate: "I am the Imperial Guard stationed at Fukangfang. I am here for the case of your master. Please inform him."

"Ah..." A servant yawned and said, "Please wait a moment."

He turned back to report that the other servant was also looking listless.

Liang Yue noticed that something was wrong with them and asked, "Has anything happened in your house recently?"

"No." The servant shook his head and said, "Only one master died."

"Then why do you two look so tired?" Liang Yue asked.

The servant said angrily, "I don't know who it is these days. As soon as night falls, he practices playing the flute nearby. It's intermittent and very uncomfortable to listen to. We haven't slept well!"

Liang Yue blinked, a subtle expression on his face.

Don't dare to speak out.

Not long after, the servant who delivered the message came back and said, "Liang Duwei, the Madam wants to see you."

　Qidian suddenly went crazy and the status could not be changed in the background, which delayed me for a long time. Hahaha, all kinds of things happened. Help!
