Qin Shihuang's Spittoon, Xiang Yu's Chamber Pot!
A gust of night wind blew, bringing with it a strong smell of blood.
Lu Shisan and the other shadow guards stared at the courtyard of the Green Tiger Gang. Their eyes widened and their expressions changed.
"Lord Shaoqing, come and take a look."
Lu Shisan quickly said to Lu Qing.
Lu Qing quickly entered the Green Tiger Gang. When he saw the scene in front of him, he frowned.
People were lying on the ground in the courtyard. Their blood flowed together and formed a small stream that flowed continuously.
The smell of blood assaulted his senses.
The Green Tiger Gang…seemed to have been massacred!
Lu Qing quickly walked forward and squatted down in front of a person to check his breathing. Then, he shook his head.
"Dead."
He tested the man's temperature and suddenly raised his head."It's still hot and he just died. Maybe the murderer is still here.”
"Send a few people to protect the lord. The rest of you, split up and search!"”
With that, he took the lead and rushed inside. The others also spread out to search.
Lu Qing frowned as he looked at the slaughtered Green Tiger Triad, grinding his teeth.
Who killed the members of the Green Tiger Gang?
And he was so ruthless that he directly slaughtered the entire Green Tiger Gang?
Why did they kill the Green Tiger Gang?
And it was done right before he arrived.
Was it related to the case he was investigating?
Or was it just the enemy of the Green Tiger Gang?
Countless guesses appeared in Lu Qing's mind, but he did not have enough clues now. He could not determine which possibility it was.
However, just as he learned the name of the Green Tiger Gang, the entire Green Tiger Gang was killed before he arrived. This…wasn't it a little too much of a coincidence?
"Milord, we haven't found a single person.”
At this moment, Lu Shisan and the others returned and said,""Other than the dead members of the Green Tiger Gang, there is no one else.”
"I'm a step too late," said Lu Qing.”
"Then did you find any woman imprisoned here?”he asked.
" No." Lu Shisan shook his head." I've searched everywhere. I didn't find anything."”
He looked at Lu Qing and said worriedly,""Sir, isn't the clue broken?”
"If someone else had investigated until here, the clues might have been cut off, but it might not be the case when it comes to me.”
Lu Qing's expression did not change much. Over the years, he had followed the Supreme Court to solve cases that were more complicated than this case. He had solved cases that were difficult to solve without any clues, so this case was nothing.
Moreover…
Lu Qing's eyes moved slightly. He already had a rough idea.
He was no longer worried about the safety of Princess Chang Le and Li Lizhi.
Because he felt that this case was not the missing princess case at all!
"Sir, where are the clues?" Lu Shisan asked.
Lu Qing glanced at him and said,""Go, dig out all the letters, bills, and other things from the Green Tiger Gang for me.”
Lu Shisan didn't know what Lu Qing wanted these for, but he immediately brought his men to do it.
Not long after, a large box was carried out.
" Lord Shaoqing, we found this under their bed," Lu Shisan said." They seem to be protecting it very well. It might be useful to you."”
Lu Qing nodded and opened the box. There was an account book, a pile of bills, and a few letters inside.
Lu Qing first opened the account book and flipped through it. Then, he picked up the bills and looked at them.
Finally, he flipped through the letters.
The letter was about buying and selling women, but the writer was very cautious. There was no signature or proof of identity.
In the account book, there were records of daily things like eating, drinking, and defecating. There was no order at all. It was as if he would remember it every time he thought about it.
Those bills were for the Green Tiger Gang to buy rice and other things, as well as some pawn tickets.
Other than that, there was nothing else.
Lu Shisan looked at these things and seemed a little impatient. He said,"They are all useless. There is no clue to where the princess and those women are hidden!”
"Who said it's useless?"
Lu Qing picked out some bills and account books and said,""It's useless to you, but to me, it has already told me who the Green Tiger Gang's boss is.”
" What?!"
Lu Shisan and the others quickly looked at Lu Qing.""Really?"
" The government strictly forbids the sale of women," Lu Qing said lightly." What the Green Tiger Gang does is strictly forbidden, so it can only do it secretly."”
" In Chang 'an, it is often monitored by the government. Once a large amount of money is transferred in and out, it will definitely attract the attention of the government. Therefore, in order to ensure that it is not discovered, it must secretly get the money, and it must be legal. Otherwise, the government will investigate it accurately.”
"So, tell me…how did the money that it sold to the hoodlum some time ago arrive?”
" This…" Lu Shisan was confused.
The others were also dumbfounded. They could not keep up with Lu Qing's train of thought.
Lu Qing smiled, not expecting them to answer.
"Take a look at this receipt," he said.”
Lu Shisan took the receipt and saw that it was a pawn ticket.
"Pawn ticket? Is there a problem with the pawn ticket?"
"This is a wine cup used by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty…It's worth ten strings of money!" Lu Qing said. This wine glass was really expensive. It was enough for 30 people to live for a year!”
"Besides, do you think a small gang like the Green Tiger Gang can get their hands on something used by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty? Where did they dig the grave?"
" This…" Lu Shisan rolled his eyes and suddenly said,""Could it be…this wine cup is fake?”
Lu Qing pointed at a few bills and said,"" And this, the spittoon used by Qin Shihuang, the chamber pot used by Xiang Yu, this is even more ridiculous…"
Lu Qing picked up a pawn ticket and said with a smile,""A fart-wiping stone used by Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty…priced at 20 strings. Liu Bang's fart is made of gold, right?”
Everyone was speechless.
Lu Qing said calmly," It's obvious that the Green Tiger Gang didn't bother to think about faking it in order to get the money earlier. So, they just picked up a random rock and went there. In the end…they even pawned it. Do you think the pawnshop is stupid?" Would you do such a business?"
Lu Shisan's eyes suddenly widened. He looked up at Lu Qing and said,""So, this pawnshop is giving the Green Tiger Gang profits. The pawnshop is the Green Tiger Gang's superior!”
Lu Qing smiled." That's right. So, we just need to find the owner of the pawnshop and investigate them. Perhaps we can find those women."”
Lu Shisan quickly picked up the pawn ticket and said,"Zheng Ji Pawnshop. Zheng Ji... is the Zheng Clan, and the Zheng Clan's estate is located in Yongle Lane!”
