Chapter 291: Knowing There Are Tigers in the Mountain, Going There
Fortunately, Lin Zhiqing didn't have to wait too long.
At noon the next day, Lin Yangyang returned to the Lin family exhausted.
She went to Shuqing Pavilion as soon as possible, and even Lin Congli didn't know that she had gone out at night.
After handing Yan Yu's reply to Lin Zhiqing, Lin Yangyang rolled directly into Lin Zhiqing's bed, and soon began to breathe evenly.
The high intensity of the journey was a bit overwhelming for her.
After covering Lin Yangyang with the quilt, Lin Zhiqing opened Yan Yu's reply letter which smelled of incense.
The few short sentences in the letter made Lin Zhiqing breathe a sigh of relief.
The woman with the mole did leave some traces in Yongqing County.
Following the clue of Zixiaofang in the capital, Yan Yu found his colleagues in Yongqing County.
As the saying goes, money and beauty are inseparable.
Gambling houses and brothels are both places for pleasure and entertainment, and are also the places where information and evidence are best obtained.
Just like the Wanliu Pavilion named after Yan Wu, it appears to be a male prostitute business, but in fact it sells art and not bodies.
This "art" is not about music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Of course, a business cannot survive by only selling music, chess, calligraphy and painting.
What they do is living on the edge of a knife, similar to killers, but they only take orders from corrupt officials, ruffians and hooligans.
The place where the woman with the mole stayed in Yongqing County was a brothel a few streets away from Wanliu Pavilion.
Relying on the absolute suppression of Yongqing County's entertainment venues in recent years, Yan Yu easily found out.
That seemingly inconspicuous brothel is also hidden. On the surface, it is engaged in the flesh trade, but in fact it is more like a stronghold backed by a big shot in the capital.
To sum it up in one sentence, it is mainly about collecting information and secondary about business.
The girls inside may seem ordinary, but they are actually very eloquent and quite orderly, and it is obvious that they have undergone special training.
On the day Lin Yangyang delivered the letter, a new batch of girls had just arrived at the brothel. They were sent from a brothel in Beijing called Zangxianglou.
This is all the information Yan Yu could find.
Zangxianglou, Lin Zhiqing was not unfamiliar with this name.
Previously, when the Lin family's Qianjin Pavilion was sealed off and Lin Congyan was stuck in the quagmire, in order to find clues, Lin Zhiqing specially checked all the major brothels in Shengjing City.
The Cangxianglou is one of the top brothels in Shengjing City. Compared with it, Qianjin Pavilion is not even a match.
Lin Zhiqing threw the letter into the incense burner.
Judging from the content of this letter, the woman with the mole is obviously related to Zangxiang Pavilion.
Similarly, the relationship between Zangxiang Pavilion and Zixiaofang must be complicated.
Any entertainment venue that can gain a foothold in East City must have some big shot behind it.
Although the Lin family has declined, there is still a gap between them and ordinary businessmen.
Qianjin Pavilion cannot compete with other big brothels, but it still has control over the middle-level market.
Generally speaking, any place that can dominate the East Market most likely has some kind of relationship behind it.
Lin Zhiqing frowned. Could the people behind Cangxiang Tower and Zixiaofang be the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion?
After thinking it over, she knew she had to find the woman with the mole.
In addition, the woman with the mole is a criminal imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice, and her crime is even more serious than that of the flute player.
Lu Huai only found out the basic information about the woman with the mole from the Ministry of Justice. He knew nothing about the important information such as what crime she had committed or why she was sent to the Ministry of Justice prison.
Such a person could actually appear in Shengjing City after escaping from prison. Although he tried to cover up his mole, his appearance was exposed to the public.
You know, a puppet like Di Ren who indirectly committed a crime is wanted by the Dali Temple.
Lin Zhiqing had no choice but to hide the person. If she had not encountered danger in Bianliang and was in the wilderness where no one would notice her, she would not have dared to release the flute player.
But this woman with a mole doesn't seem to be afraid of the government? Why is that?
Is there a problem with the Ministry of Justice... too?
Or is it that this woman with a mole is plotting against him?
What criminal would reveal his face so brazenly?
And Jiang Liuyun's footprints seem a bit weird no matter how you think about it.
Lin Zhiqing had a lot of thoughts in his mind.
Whether it was the woman with the mole or Yun Jian, they both ended up at Cangxiang Tower.
It seemed that as long as she went to Zangxianglou, she would be able to find the murderer of Aunt Mu.
On one side are doubts that remain unexplained, and on the other side are answers that are just around the corner.
Lin Zhiqing was in a dilemma. She now had two things to do.
First, find the murderer who killed Aunt Mu and avenge her.
Second, find out the reasons why the neutral ministers opposed the retrial of Lin Congrong's case.
These two things seem unrelated, but Lin Zhiqing had previously analyzed that Aunt Mu might know the reason why the neutral ministers opposed it.
The person behind the scenes must have seen this clue, so he chose to kill Aunt Mu.
The first matter was her personal affair, and the second matter was related to the Lin family’s current predicament.
There is no reason for her not to go.
Thinking of this, her eyes gradually became firm.
go!
She has to go!
After making up his mind, Lin Zhiqing quickly made preparations.
As soon as Lin Yangyang wakes up, she will break into the Zangxiang Tower.
One day later, at the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion.
"Young Master, Miss Lin has gone out." The guard stood respectfully outside the study.
Jiang Liuyun paused, and the ink on the tip of the pen gathered and dripped onto the drawing paper.
The black spots gradually spread around, hiding the face of the person in the painting.
Jiang Liuyun crumpled up the drawing paper and threw it aside before speaking:
"Going to Cangxianglou?"
"Yes, it's in the direction of Zangxianglou." The guard replied.
Jiang Liuyun spoke slowly, "Contact the Lu family and spread the news that the former Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of War's former lover is in Cangxiang Tower."
The guard winked at the person behind him, and someone immediately started to do the job.
After the man walked away, the guard asked, "Sir, will Lu Huai take the bait?"
Jiang Liuyun stepped out of the room and said, "He has been biting the Ministry of War like a mad dog recently. After hearing such a key piece of information, he will definitely go.
"Lin Zhiqing has been hiding in the Lin family for so long, and now he has finally come out."
"This Miss Lin is so cunning and even contradicted you, the prince, in the street. She deserves to die!" The guard gritted his teeth.
Hearing this, Jiang Liuyun frowned slightly, but in the end he didn't say anything. Instead, he asked another question: "Have all the people in the Tibetan Incense Tower evacuated?"
The guard nodded and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness. The Zangxianglou is now just like any other brothel. Everyone has already left."
"Everything is ready, only the east wind is missing."
Hearing this, Jiang Liuyun slowly raised the corners of his lips: "Qing'er, Qing'er, you want to stay in the Lin family, but I just won't agree to your wish!"
"No one in this world knows you better than me. You are too soft-hearted to be able to lose your composure just because of a servant."
"However, if my grand plan succeeds, Aunt Mu's death will not be a loss."
Jiang Liuyun was very happy as he watched Lin Zhiqing walk into his trap.
