"Master Lin, try the appetizer soup I made!" He elegantly delivered a cup of clear soup to Lin Haoming.
Lin Haoming looked at the soup, which was the color of green tea, and smelled it first. The light fragrance was really tempting. After taking a brief sip, he felt the refreshing and sweet taste spread from his mouth to his belly.
"What kind of soup is this?" Lin Haoming couldn't help but asked in surprise.
"This is grass root soup. Because of my health, my daughter has been with flowers and plants all year round. In her free time, she prepared some nectar and grass juice. This is what she prepared. Although the taste is good, it does not contain much vitality of heaven and earth." Gao Lan smiled. road.
"Gao Tongzhi was too modest. Even if he lacks vitality, the taste of this soup is still outstanding." Lin Haoming sighed.
Lin Haoming was also telling the truth. His elegant craftsmanship was indeed outstanding. After drinking the grass root soup, he became really interested in the few side dishes in front of him. After tasting them one by one, he felt that his craftsmanship was definitely not inferior to Siyue, even just talking about it. It's light and yet still on top.
After drinking for three rounds, Gao Lan finally changed the topic and said solemnly: "Master Lin has just arrived in Dishan City. Gong Lihai was a peacemaker before. Why don't you give him a face? If I am not mistaken, Master Lin seems to have already made peace with him." Is Gong Xinlan married?"
"Gong Lihai just gave him a warning to let him know who is the master. As for Zhu Li, this person may be related to Li Chao's affairs. Since I took over the position of patrol officer, I must ask for a solution for my predecessor. Say it!" Lin Haoming said.
"Li Chao fell because of his investigation into Feng Xingdao's death. Mr. Lin plans to investigate this matter?" Gao Lan asked.
"Yes, I heard that you are Feng Xingdao's backer?" Lin Haoming asked.
"Haha, Feng Xingdao and I have not met a few times. However, after my son came from Xilin County, he had a closer relationship with Feng Xingdao. However, Feng Xingdao's death has nothing to do with my Gao family. According to my investigation, it should be with him It has something to do with the pair of bookcases I bought," Gao Lan said.
"I think so too, but the bookcase was also taken away when Feng Xingdao died. It may have disappeared forever. Li Chao immediately pursued it and must have found something, so he was killed. But now it has been so long. , I'm afraid there are no clues left, and this matter will be difficult to investigate!" Lin Haoming said truthfully.
"That's not necessarily the case. When Li Chao was the patrol officer, there was an escort in the government office who was also the master. He is still alive. This person could be regarded as the brains behind Li Chao, but not many people know about it. "Gao Lan suddenly revealed a secret.
"Oh! How did you know?" Although Lin Haoming felt that something was going wrong, he was somewhat suspicious of Gao Lan because of what happened back then.
"This person has disappeared since Li Chao's incident, but he is definitely still alive. As for me, it was entirely because Tianzun asked me to look after a few important people in Dishan City. Li Chao was one of them, so I knew about it." Gao Lan explained.
Lin Haoming could not see the flaw in Gao Lan's words, and felt that with Gao Fangfang here, he really had no reason to go against him, so he nodded silently and asked, "This person has never been found?"
"When Li Chao was investigating the case, he happened to return to his hometown. By chance, this person happened to be from Xilin County, otherwise it would not be easy for me to find out his details." Gao Lan said with a bitter smile.
"What's your name?" Lin Haoming asked.
"Zhuang Liang, from the banker in Xilin County!" Gao Lan said.
"The banker doesn't seem to be a wealthy family in the county!" Lin Haoming recalled.
"It is true that the Zhuang family does not have any high-ranking officials in the county, but half of the city of Anma City in Xilin County belongs to the Zhuang family. Zhuang Liang was originally a concubine of the Zhuang family. Although he was talented, he was rejected by his direct descendants, so after he advanced to Tao Ti, He ran out to make a living and eventually became a staff member of the Li Dynasty." Gao Lan said carefully.
"Gao Tongzhi is very thoughtful. He has investigated so many things in just these days. Thank you very much!" Lin Haoming suddenly thanked him after hearing this.
Gao Lan also knew that he saw that Lin Haoming was investigating Li Chao's affairs, so he rushed to help. After the results were obtained, he invited Lin Haoming to come over.
"I don't dare, I'm just trying my best!" Gao Lan said humbly.
"Gao Tongzhi is so polite!" Lin Haoming saw that Gao Lan was so considerate and seemed to be apologizing for what happened to his descendants. However, he didn't know the origin of Siyue, otherwise he might not be so relieved.
Thinking of this, Lin Haoming also felt a little overwhelmed. At least Gao Lan and Gao Ya gave him a good feeling, but Shu Siyue would come to the Gao family sooner or later, and he really didn't know what to do then.
Fortunately, Siyue decided to handle this matter by herself. It was still early and Lin Haoming planned to discuss it later.
"How about Zhu Li and Han Chengzhang?" Lin Haoming asked.
"The two of them can't be called greedy, let alone talented. The only thing they can say is to be obedient. It can be seen from Qian Li's two bookcases on the black market. If they are talented, they will naturally not If you let the bookcase wander out, if you are really greedy, I might move it to their mansion!" Gao Lan said.
"How much does Gao Tongzhi know about Qian Li?" Lin Haoming asked.
"I really don't know much about him. Mr. Lin has never asked Mr. Jia?" Gao Lan asked.
"I asked, but I don't know much about him. I only know that this person lives in seclusion and usually doesn't have anything special about him!" Lin Haoming said.
"My impression of Qian Li is similar, so if something happens to him, Gong Lihai is more likely to eliminate dissidents!" Gao Lan said.
"In that case, what secrets will there be in his pair of bookcases?" Lin Haoming asked.
"This...I don't know this, but it should not exceed these points!" Gao Lan said solemnly.
"What time?" Lin Haoming asked.
"First, he hid a large amount of property without our knowledge, and the secret was hidden in a bookcase, and this secret was known by someone who was interested. Second, there was a secret against Gong Lihai or other hostile people hidden in the bookcase. The fatal evidence of a high-ranking official, and thirdly, there is evidence hidden in the bookcase, but this evidence is not against Gong Lihai and others, but against the judge," Gao Lan said.
"Do you think there is something wrong with Jiang Xingqian?" Lin Haoming asked.
"I don't know, but according to inference, there are only three possibilities for the damage to the city to make the Li Dynasty disappear silently. And the first possibility is that Jiang Xingqian is most likely to know the secret of Qian Li. It's a pity that Zhuang Liang can't find it. Otherwise, many things will go more smoothly!" Gao Lan said.
Lin Haoming nodded after hearing this. It was not that he had never suspected Jiang Xingqian, but he had gone into seclusion a hundred years ago, so he ignored it. Now that Gao Lan mentioned it again, he might as well think more about it.
This meal lasted for nearly two hours, and then Gao Lan and Gao Ya saw each other off and went out.
As soon as he stepped onto the horse, Liu Kai, who had been waiting outside, came up to him with a solemn face and said: "Sir, something happened, someone is dead in the prison!"
