As the saying goes, "Don't trust people who you doubt, don't trust people when you employ them." Su Xian chose to believe in Yan Dashan.
Without him, the name of the Yan family is really too loud.
Coupled with observing him during this period, Su Xian believed that he was a consistent person and worthy of trust.
Su Xian bent down, helped him up with his own hands, and told him not to kneel down on one knee again...unless he allowed it.
…
Not long after, the window was lightly tapped.
"Who!" Yan Dashan's eyes widened and he rushed towards the window with a whoosh, preparing to catch the thief.
"return!"
Su Xian held his forehead and felt a slight headache.
After all, Yan Dashan is a soldier. He is quite impulsive and energetic, and he is also prone to misdeeds.
"The poisonous lady is here, come in."
Su Xian glanced at Yan Dashan, who was scratching his head, and shouted out the window.
There was a soft squeaking sound.
The window was pushed open, and a man in black with a strong figure jumped into the room like a cat. He rolled twice on the floor and then stood up. He clasped his fists at Su Xian and said:
"Master!"
This man in black is the poisonous lady.
She followed Su Xian north to Youzhou.
Because Su Xian was surrounded by Princess Lanling's people, all the poisonous ladies could only follow her secretly. She was currently wearing black clothes and black trousers, with a black scarf on her head, only one pair of eyes exposed.
Her eyebrows were long and slender, and her eyes seemed to have water ripples, which was quite charming.
But at the same time, there was a strong venomous look in his eyes, which made people unable to have any strange thoughts in their hearts.
For Yan Dashan, it was even less likely that he would have any strange thoughts. He subconsciously protected Su Xian behind him and stared at the intruder who did not look like a good person.
"Relax, this is one of our own."
Su Xian gently patted Yan Dashan's thick shoulder, walked forward, and asked with a smile: "How is Lin'er recovering?"
Lin'er is the three or four-year-old son of Lady Poison.
"Thank you for your concern, sir. Lin'er recovered quickly and is already able to walk. It will take a few more days to fully recover..." Poison Lady's eyes flashed with a touch of tenderness.
"That's good." Su Xian nodded, then his expression gradually became serious and he said:
"Put aside the matter that I told you before. I have a more important matter that I need to leave to you."
"Master, please give me your instructions." The softness in Lady Poison's eyes disappeared. Although she was also vicious, she looked at Su Xian with deep respect.
"Pavilion Master Xia, do you still remember those two words you told me when we first met?" Su Xian did not give any direct instructions.
The poisonous lady's last name is "Xia" and her first name is "Du". The poisonous lady is just a mixed name.
"City order?" Lady Poison naturally still remembers it.
"Not bad!" Su Xian turned his eyes inadvertently and found that Yan Dashan beside him was confused, scratching his head and wanting to ask but not daring to ask, which was very interesting.
Su Xian smiled slightly.
"Now, I want you to mobilize all your men to once again investigate the municipal orders and municipal offices of various states and counties!" Su Xian's face returned to seriousness.
"Sir, this..."
"The investigation this time is different. It focuses on investigating the entry and exit of dairy products in various states and counties. You can do this, this, and this, and secretly copy the account books of various municipal departments..."
"..."
Just now at the restaurant, Su Xian learned from the shopkeeper that dairy products, as special goods "imported" from the Liao Kingdom, were sold in nearby states and counties through the channel of state, county and city orders.
It is equivalent to the model of "official transportation and commercial sales".
Every batch of dairy products that comes in and out will leave a record in the city's account books.
However, the records in the account books must be messy. In addition to the unscientific accounting method, there is another point, that is, dairy products can also circulate freely between states and counties.
This resulted in "records of Ping An City's flow to various states and counties" and "records of flows between states and counties" being overlapped, making it impossible to distinguish.
Under normal circumstances, it is almost impossible to figure out the flow of dairy products through the records in the account books because the account books are too messy.
This road leads nowhere, it is a broken thread.
However, Su Xian has a way.
He only needs to figure out the final flow of dairy products, and a little simple "statistics" can easily do the job.
As long as you determine where most of the dairy products end up, that's where the 10,000 Liao troops will be hiding!
This is a scientific way to solve crimes.
It pointed out a bright road for the confused Su Xian!
However, the first step that needs to be done is to get the original data.
This is the mission of the poisonous lady.
Su Xian ordered her to mobilize all her men, about two hundred of them, to collect all the records of the summer account books of Youzhou, Tanzhou, Jizhou, Yizhou, Mozhou, Yingzhou, Dingzhou, Shenzhou, Cangzhou and other places. Make a copy.
Only the entry and exit records related to dairy products are required.
The time span is the last six months.
The inner guard Anzi are not simple, they can be said to be "versatile". In their eyes, these tasks are not too difficult, just a little more cumbersome.
The poisonous lady took the order, turned around and left.
"Wait a minute." Su Xian stopped him. When the poisonous lady turned around, Su Xian pinched her chin and asked, "You must also know about Zhi Lan following the girl from Liao Kingdom, right?"
"My subordinates know everything." Lady Poison replied. She secretly came north and knew everything about what happened around Su Xian.
"After you have finished explaining the matter of copying the account books, go and replace Zhilan. The girl from the Liao Kingdom is very important, but you must be careful not to alert the snake."
"Subordinates take orders!"
"..."
The poisonous lady jumped out of the window and disappeared.
Yan Dashan went to close the window and came back with a confused look on his face. He wanted to ask but didn't know where to start.
Su Xian knew what he was thinking and said with a smile: "No need to wonder, you will know it when the time comes."
Yan Dashan could only nod his head, no longer doubting or entangled in the matter, because he knew that Princess Lanling valued Su Xian very much, so he guessed that the woman in black was Princess Lanling's subordinate, and lent him to Su Xian for temporary use...
It was still early and Yang Zhilan hadn't come back yet. Su Xian didn't want to sleep, so he and Yan Dashan discussed the case in the room.
Su Xian was very curious about the specific identity of the Liao girl.
It would be even more perfect if the case could be solved faster through the Liao girl...
Half an hour later.
Yang Zhilan climbed through the window and returned.
Su Xian stood up quickly and asked, "What was the result?"
Yang Zhilan used to cherish words like gold, but at this time, she had to use up her voice...
It turned out that after the Liao girl drank milk tea, she left Ping'an City and returned to her home not far east of Ping'an City. It was a magnificent mansion.
Yang Zhilan sneaked in without disturbing anyone.
She originally planned to eavesdrop on the conversations between girls from the Liao Kingdom and get more information.
However, the Liao girls were quite cautious. After bathing and changing clothes, they entered a secret room with others. The secret room was airtight. Yang Zhilan was afraid of disturbing others, so she did not overhear their conversation.
Both Android and Apple are available. 】
Fortunately, Yang Zhilan's trip was not in vain. She used incredible skills to sneak into a study room, open the secret compartment, and actually obtained several secret letters!
"Have you brought the secret message back?" Su Xian was a little discouraged at first, but when he heard that there was a secret message, he suddenly became energetic.
"..."
Yang Zhilan didn't respond. It seemed that her throat couldn't bear the words she just said. She just took out a few envelopes from her clothes and handed them to Su Xian with both hands.
Su Xian took it. The envelopes had already been opened. He took out a piece of yellowed letter paper from an envelope and looked at it carefully.
Both Yan Dashan and Yang Zhilan remained quiet, staring at Su Xian without blinking, especially Yan Dashan, with a strong look of curiosity in their eyes.
When he was young, Su Xian looked away from the letter and said with a slightly strange expression:
"I know the real name of that Liao girl!"
"What's it called?" Yan Dashan asked hurriedly.
"Na... Lan... Yan..." Su Xian's expression became even weirder and he repeated: "Na Lan Yan!"
"..."
