Jin Yiwei said: "This person is quite mysterious. I only know that his name in the community is Mr. Lu. He is low-key. I only know this person because he is in charge of Zhengtongfang."
"That Mr. Lu from the fifth test?" Fang Zhengyi looked a little strange.
This is not the first time he has heard of Mr. Lu’s name.
I heard it from the prince last time.
Being low-key and still having such a huge influence shows that he has some skills.
However, out of professional instinct, he always felt that there was a strange smell in it...
A person with such great ability does not seek fame or profit, and does not talk about football experience, just to show off his prediction results to the people?
It sounds like a liar...
"Yes, that's Mr. Lu, who is in the fifth grade of the fifth test. Sir, do you also know his name?" The Jin Yiwei asked with a smile.
Fang Zhengyi opened the newspaper again and said, "I just heard it occasionally. Which team did he predict to win in the recent game?"
If he is really that amazing, it would be good to play two games. He had never won a game in his previous life...
"I don't know! We are also wondering. As usual, there have been rumors among the public for a long time, but this time there is no news yet."
Fang Zheng curled his lips and put away the newspaper: "Pretend to be a ghost! Okay, let's go to work... By the way, let others know that it is forbidden to talk about this person in the Jinyi Guards from now on."
"Yes, I humbly accept my order!"
...
The next afternoon.
The time had reached the next hour. Fang Zhengyi held the newspaper and read it leisurely, sipping tea from time to time.
Yesterday's football match had such a huge impact that the Banshan Daily even added an extra number about it.
After reading the football news that took up half of the page, Fang Zheng felt dissatisfied.
It seems that there is really no news to find. A broken football is still worth it, but it needs to be published in another edition.
But on the other hand, it’s also a good thing.
The fact that people love football so much means that they have good food and still have time to study and relax.
It also shows that the reporter worked very hard and did not take advantage of the situation.
Except for football, the following reports are neither salty nor light news.
"After more than a hundred days of drought, it finally got wet. 》--Kangyang County welcomes rain after severe drought
"Easy exercises make your smile brighter. 》--Full explanation of longevity exercises for women from the Patriarch Association.
"A wealthy businessman in the north of the city angrily divorced his wife, and his concubine became a high-ranking concubine, just because he always had to..." - the tragic ending of the shrew.
.....
Fang Zheng took a few glances and then dropped the newspaper.
The news today is unbearable! ! !
Banshan Daily has gone further and further down the road of headline-making...
Although it specializes in the lower third route and has a lot of traffic, there is no such way to get close to the people. We will have to find time to make rectifications in the future!
Fang Zheng muttered, looked at his watch, and started packing his things to go home.
But at this moment, two figures rushed in from outside the door in a hurry.
Fang Zheng hesitated for a moment, looked at the person in front of him and said, "Your Highness? Why are you here?"
"I...I have a big deal with you!" Li Yuanzhao breathed heavily and patted the person next to him.
The man cupped his fists and said, "Commander Fan Cong, commander of the army and horse division, pays homage to the Marquis!"
Fan Cong? He knew this person. On weekdays, although Jinyiwei was not responsible for civil affairs, he still had to deal with the Five Cities Military and Horse Department.
"What happened?"
"I have been deceived! I have been defrauded of thirty thousand taels of silver!" Li Yuanzhao shouted, "Old Fang, please help me investigate the case and bring him back!"
Fang Zheng was shocked: "Who dares to lie to you? Tell me carefully."
Fan Cong smiled bitterly and said: "Sir, you don't know. There is a liar in Zhengtongfang who predicts football matches. His name is Mr. Lu. This morning, Mr. Lu sold prediction results to people in Zhengtongfang and defrauded the people of Zhengtongfang for nearly ten years." Fifty thousand taels of silver."
"The Soldiers and Horses Department is surrounded by people and is about to explode!"
"I have sealed off the city gates and sent people to investigate the case, but I am afraid that the people will be too excited to find out the results in a short time, so I would like to ask you, sir, to send the Jin Yiwei to support you. The liar must have fled to other cities in the capital, and the Soldiers and Horses Division is short of manpower. ...Please also ask Mr. Fang to lend a helping hand to the official."
Fang Zhengyi did not hesitate and said immediately: "Here comes someone! Go to Zhengtongfang immediately to evacuate the people and stop them from making trouble."
After saying that, he looked at Fan Cong again: "This matter hasn't disturbed Your Majesty yet, has it?"
Fan Cong shook his head, glanced at him gratefully, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
If it was Jin Yiwei who took action, the people should be calmed down quickly. After all, the people in the capital had unconditional trust in Jin Yiwei.
The investigation can be delayed, but there cannot be any ambiguity when people gather to cause trouble.
Countless people were defrauded of hundreds of thousands taels at a time!
For such a shocking case, if a satisfactory result cannot be found within a short period of time, it would be an easy task for the superiors to take his hat off.
"Don't be impatient. If there is any more information involved, tell me one by one. Only then can I arrange for people to investigate the case. This clue alone is not enough." Fang Zheng said.
"Yes." Fan Cong clasped his fists again, "As soon as this incident broke out, the official immediately ordered all insiders to report it. After summarizing, we did find something strange."
"In dozens of cities and towns in the capital, there are people who predict the results of football matches. However, most of these people predict once or twice, and then disappear after predicting three or four times at most. Only Mr. Lu from Zhengtongfang is the most amazing. He scored five out of five predictions. ...This person is extremely young and has an ominous life. He only appears in Xiangyun Restaurant before the game..."
Listening to Fan Cong's story, Fang Zheng touched his chin thoughtfully.
Li Yuanzhao on the side became anxious again, slapping his thighs and chattering incessantly: "Old Fang, why are you laughing? So many people have been deceived, and I have lost thirty thousand taels of silver. Hurry up and send people to search the whole city! Oops. ..My money…”
As soon as Fang Zheng put down his hand, he coughed awkwardly.
Fan Cong said a few words and he probably had an idea.
Isn't this a classic telecommunications fraud scheme from previous lives? Screen the crowd and give predictions of winning and losing in half. The part where the prediction is successful will continue to be divided into two waves to give opposite predictions, and so on, until the last wave of people has experienced multiple successful predictions in a row, and has become convinced of the liar, and it is time to harvest.
It's just that later generations used this method to send text messages or emails on a large scale, and the cost was low.
Nowadays, this human flesh gameplay is really new, and I have to say it is somewhat creative.
Most people can't do this job. It seems that the person who organized this scam has quite a lot of energy.
Fang Zheng raised his right hand to stop Li Yuanzhao from complaining. He squinted his eyes and said in a sinister tone, "Didn't we sell the No. 1 pick ticket together? The bet is a scam..."
Li Yuanzhao's old face turned red, and he rushed towards him with his teeth bared: "Smile again!"
Fang Zhengyi quickly dodged and said with a serious expression: "This is a gang crime, and Mr. Na Lu is probably not the mastermind. What we are looking for is the person behind the scenes."
"There are no important clues at the moment, so we can only search the whole city for Mr. Lu first. Don't let this matter spread to the court in advance. I will make arrangements. Don't worry, as long as he is still in the capital, he will never escape. Your Highness, Come back tomorrow morning, and I promise to capture him by then."
