Our Mommy is the Best Investigator!

  Chapter 223 said that it is possible to survive?

   Li Ce angrily lifted Kang Mingtang up and sat on the ground, staring angrily at him and urged, "Say it quickly."

  Kang Mingtang sneakily looked at Chu Nanzhi who was standing in front of him, and replied in fear: "The grass people don't know who ordered it."

  Seeing him running the train with his mouth full, Li Ce squeezed his fist and interrupted him: "Grandma, bear, keep talking nonsense."

   "Sanlang, let him finish his sentence."

  Chu Nanzhi stopped Li Ce, and looked at Kang Mingtang calmly: "Tell me, tell me what you know."

  Be patient and don't rush to get angry with him.

  Kang Mingtang nodded tremblingly: "Someone sent a letter last night, and the sender handed the letter to the people in the house and left in a hurry."

  Chu Nanzhi frowned: "What is the letter?"

   "The letter said that if you want to keep your current wealth, you have to kill Miss Chu and the disabled commander who just came to the county."

  Kang Mingtang carefully looked around at the crowd, and there was only one woman in front of him, and he immediately guessed that she should be the lady Chu mentioned in the letter.

   "Lin Dalang?"

  An inexplicable worry rose in Chu Nanzhi's heart, and he looked at Li Ce coldly, but heard a burst of hurried footsteps coming from outside the village, approaching from far away.

   Looking around, it was none other than Li Sanmu rushing in with a group of yamen servants.

Holding the handle of the knife, Li Sanmu looked around at the fallen corpses on the ground, walked towards Chu Nanzhi, and shouted excitedly: "Sister-in-law, we are late, we intercepted and killed a group of men in black on the road, and arrested Five lives."

  Chu Nanzhi looked at the yamen servants who came in, there were nearly thirty of them densely packed, they had just experienced a fierce battle, and all of them looked embarrassed.

  Chu Nanzhi was concerned first: "Is everyone not injured?"

  Li Sanmu looked at her with a smile, and replied with a relaxed face: "It's okay, it's just some skin trauma, sister-in-law, don't worry."

"That's good."

  The light in his eyes flashed, and when he looked at Kang Mingtang again, Chu Nanzhi's eyes were filled with a fierce light, and he snapped, "Say, how many people did you send out?"

  Kang Mingtang looked at a group of government servants wearing official uniforms all around, and suddenly asked with a playful smile: "If the grassroots tell the truth, can they survive?"

Chu Nanzhi glared at him angrily, raised the big knife in Li Ce's hand without hesitation, raised the knife with one hand, and cut it across Kang Mingtang's head. The whole bun was cut off and scattered. one place.

Beads of sweat from Kang Mingtang's forehead ooze out, his feet trembled violently and collapsed on the ground, and he replied solemnly: "Caomin divided the guards under his hands into three groups, and ambushed all the way on Mrs. Chu's way into Niujia Village." , and ambushed in the village on the other way.”

   Having said that, he secretly looked at the crowd but dared not continue.

  Chu Nanzhi thought about it in her heart. The man in black in the village was shot and killed by a stray arrow, and Li Sanmu blocked the man in ambush on the way, so there is still a way?

  Thinking of this, Chu Nanzhi's whole heart suddenly trembled with fear, pointed the knife at Kang Mingtang angrily, and scolded: "Where are the other people hiding?"

  Although she probably guessed that she was going to assassinate Lin Jinxiao, she wasn't sure where he had arranged for him.

  Kang Mingtang plucked up his courage again and took the opportunity to ask: "If you say it, you may survive?"

   As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the cold sword raised again, which made him close his eyes in panic and shouted: "The grass people let them linger near the county government office and the post house, waiting for the opportunity to move."

Chu Nanzhi was so angry that he kicked him to the ground, looked at Li Ce with his eyes wide open, and said urgently: "Sanlang, take the people under your command and rush back to the county government office as quickly as possible. "

   "But my elder brother asked me to protect my sister-in-law as always."

  Li Ce frowned lightly, and patiently explained: "With my elder brother's skills, a few little thieves can't do anything to him, let alone the county government and brothers."

   "Your brother's leg is not healed yet."

That guy was just trying to be brave, Chu Nanzhi interrupted him in a panic: "Half of the manpower brought by Luyan Port has arrived here, and we have to allocate manpower to search for clues in the canal, and we need someone to guard the Yandao Yamen and the county yamen Those officials, how can there be capable people around him."

  Li Ce was frightened by her trembling voice and was stunned on the spot. Since the tax and bank case, he has never seen his sister-in-law get so angry.

Chu Nanzhi also realized that her words just now were too harsh, and then she softened her voice and persuaded again: "We have already cleared out the two factions of the Kang faction, and there will be no more danger here. Hurry back and look after your brother, Sibao, Shu Yang and the others."

  Li Ce pursed his lips tightly, hesitated for a moment, then suddenly looked at Li Sanmu firmly, and shouted: "Li Sanmu, protect your sister-in-law. If something happens, I will take you as a questioner."

  Li Sanmu clenched his fist vigorously: "Don't worry, my lord, the little one will live up to my trust."

   Seeing that Li Ce was about to leave with his people, Chu Nanzhi hurriedly ordered: "Li Langjun, give all the horses under your command to Sanlang."

"Yes."

  Li Sanmu left after hearing the sound.

   Not long after, the sound of galloping horseshoes suddenly sounded in the mountain stream outside the village, gradually drifting into the distance.

  Chu Nanzhi's uneasy heart gradually calmed down as the sound of the horse's hooves disappeared.

  Looked around at the guards around him in a trance, and when he looked at Kang Mingtang, Chu Nanzhi's eyes were full of anger again: "Who was the one who shot you just now?"

  Kang Mingtang was still in shock, and shook his head blankly. If he knew, he wouldn't suffer such a big loss.

  Chu Nanzhi didn't have time to interrogate this person anymore, and suddenly thought of what Lin Jinxiao said to herself before, "The one who should be anxious at this time should be the real culprit behind the scenes."

  Now that they dare to send people to assassinate in broad daylight, it means that they are getting closer to the truth, and they must hold their breath at such a critical moment.

  Looking at Peng Pai and Ma Laifu, she smiled gently and said, "Peng Dianshi, how far is this place from that salt well?"

  Peng Pai raised his eyes and looked into the distance, recalled it roughly, pointed to the distance and replied slowly: "It should be two or three miles ahead."

   "Okay, Li Langjun, leave some people here to take care of the prisoners, and the rest will go to Yanjing with me."

  Chu Nanzhi followed Peng Pai to the west of the village with great strides after giving instructions.

  Li Sanmu left a team and led the rest of the government officials to follow closely behind.

   Hurrying and walking for nearly two quarters of an hour, I finally arrived at the west entrance of the village.

Looking around, I can see deep swamps everywhere, surrounded by overgrown weeds, which completely covered the salt well dug more than 20 years ago. Some rotten derricks and withered derricks were faintly visible in the dense grass. straw rope.

  Peng Pai pointed at the rotten wood, and said in a solemn voice, "It should be one of the abandoned salt wells over there."

   Upon hearing the sound, several guards immediately pushed aside the grass and slowly approached the rotten wood, using the saber in their hands to clear the surrounding area, making way for Chu Nanzhi and Peng Pai.

  The closer you get to the salt well, the stronger the familiar smell.

When the guards dug out one of the salt wells, Chu Nanzhi went to the side of the dry well and looked in at the bottom of the well. It was pitch black and bottomless, and there was a smell of iron mixed with the smell of stinky water. The smell almost suffocated her.
