145 Chapter 145 Strike East 2

Chapter 145 Making a feint to the east and attacking in the west (2)

In the government prison, Shen Huai and Zheng Bin were waiting for Wu Zuo and Jin Yiwei to investigate the scene.

The most severely damaged cells were where Jin Yiwei placed prisoners. They were set up at the end of the prison, in the most private location. However, at this time, the prison columns were crooked, and the traces of fire were shocking. There were large and small explosion holes, and the walls were stained. There are also some small holes made by fire sand.

The smell of burning lingered in the air, and the thirteen corpses were almost charred, which was shocking to see.

There was a wailing sound at the end of the passage. It was the injured prisoners just now. They were evacuated urgently, leaving only the Jinyi guards accompanying Zheng Bin.

Even the government officials assigned by Huai'an Prefecture to cooperate were driven away by Zheng Bin.

Zheng Bin's face was gloomy, his right hand was holding the handle of the knife at his waist, and he was clenching the muscles of his cheeks very hard.

gunpowder.

Gunpowder again!

Cao Kaihe used gunpowder to blow up Zhou's house and directed his attention to the Arms Bureau under Qiu Naicheng's direct jurisdiction.

He wanted to pin the major crime on Qiu Naicheng, but he didn't expect that Shen Huai and Qiu Naicheng would join forces and dig out the miscellaneous bureau he controlled through Lai Guojin.

In addition, Su Ya impulsively involved Cao Qingyuan in a fishing scheme, causing Cao Kaihe to accidentally kill four of Li Zheng's men. In the end, Cao Kaihe was surrounded by enemies and was forced to rely on temporary protection and marry his daughter to Xu Guogong. , for peace.

It stands to reason that the case has been handed over to Jin Yiwei. This is the time when Cao Kaihe is silent and the official circles in Huai'an are silent. No one should be bold enough to cause trouble.

Therefore, Zheng Bin aimed at the weapons manufacturing case and quietly laid out the plan. He even had the intention of making Cao Kaihe worse, and he was actually sure of victory.

But I didn't expect that someone would blow up the government prison at this time!

According to the witnesses of the crime, thirteen people were killed and several others were seriously injured. Among the dead was Lai Guojin, the owner of the Zazao Bureau.

There are twists and turns in what was a sure thing. No matter how you look at it, it looks like Cao Kaihe is going to kill someone and silence him.

Zheng Bin felt that he had been fooled by Cao Kaihe.

He felt that Cao Kaihe was deliberately pretending to be helpless and letting others manipulate him, but in fact he was not only thinking about survival, but also a counterattack.

It's simply a shame and a shame.

As a fourth-rank commander in Fusi, Beizhen, Zheng Bin has been prestigious for a long time.

Although it was not that he didn't encounter tough problems, on this trip to Beijing, he found out Zhao Qing's dirty work in Guangxi. After he came to Huai'an, he took advantage of Cao Kaihe. He was sure to have a prosperous official career after returning to Beijing. He advanced to another rank, but at this moment, he received a head-on blow.

Disobedience encountered when one is proud is particularly irritating.

Shen Huai stood with his hands behind his hands, and occasionally glanced at Zheng Bin, feeling very aware of his thoughts.

At this time, Zheng Bin had already developed strong suspicions about everyone in Huai'an Mansion.

Shen Huai raised his hand and picked up a piece of shrapnel picked up at the scene from a tray brought by a red-clothed cavalry.

"Brother Zheng, do you still remember the young man who testified in the miscellaneous bureau in the sentencing hall?"

"Surname Yuan?"

Zheng Bin was deeply impressed by Yuan Yutao. Among a group of people, Yuan Yutao's majestic appearance and clear speech were difficult to ignore.

Zheng Bin understood what Shen Huai said.

No matter how neatly Jin Yiwei handles the case, he is not as familiar with it as the people on the ground in Huai'an. If he wants to confirm the origin of this batch of gunpowder and whether it is the same batch that bombed Zhou's house, no one is better than Yuan Yutao, who personally made the batch of shell casings. expert.

A cavalryman dressed in black quickly went out to pick up Yuan Yutao.

But finding Yuan Yutao's whereabouts will take a lot of trouble.

First, I had to find someone to lead the way. After I found Yuan Yutao's iron shop in Gutong Lane, I saw that the door of the iron shop was bolted from the inside, but the room was empty.

The black-clothed Tiqi knew something was wrong, so he sent someone back to the Yamen Prison to report the news, and at the same time quickly found Yuan's house. After some investigation and search, nearly two hours had passed, and when he arrived at the Yamen again, he I happened to meet Gao Jun.

The two of them moved forward and backward, and Shen Huai called Gao Jun aside without hesitation.

"What's the matter?"

"Sir, Mr. Liu and Song Jin disappeared together."

Gao Jun told what Su Ya had said.

Shen Huai's eyelids twitched and his eyes narrowed slightly, "Wait a moment."

When he turned around, Tiqi in black was already reporting to Zheng Bin.

Regarding the news that Yuan Yutao is not in the store, the Yamen servant has brought it back before. The new information added at this time is——

Yuan Yutao did not return home. The iron shop on Gutong Lane closed at the same time as before. The helper always lived in the shop, but tonight he was knocked unconscious and thrown into the crack of the courtyard wall.

After the man was woken up, he said that he just got up at night and was peeing when he suddenly received a heavy blow on the back of his head, and then he didn't know anything else.

The neighbors also said that they had never heard any unusual noises in the iron shop.

——What a coincidence?

Those who robbed the prison did not rob people, but only killed people. They were merciless in their attacks. From Lai Guojin to the sailors who were on the same ship as Xu Ming, to the officials who were later arrested in a low-key manner, there were many casualties.

On Yuan Yutao's side, it seemed that he only robbed people, not killing people. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the iron shop gang to survive, and it would be impossible for Yuan Yutao to disappear without a trace.

Could it be that Yuan Yutao was the one who committed the crime?

Zheng Bin was shocked by his own reasoning. Why, is this Huai'an Prefecture Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon?

"Yuan Yutao was just brought to the lobby to serve as a witness," Shen Huai said solemnly: "At the moment, we haven't seen any grievances or interests between him and anyone related to the case."

"Or is he pretending?" Zheng Bin's eyebrows almost met, "Anyway, I'm doubtful."

Zheng Bin held the handle of the knife and walked back and forth, feeling that there were enemies everywhere.

But Shen Huai could no longer wait for him, "Brother Zheng, I have something important and I must go back first."

Zheng Bin was startled, "Are you working hard? My dear brother is affected today, so I will arrange for someone to take you back."

He was handling the case here, and there was no need for Shen Huai to participate. However, Zheng Bin knew about Shen Huai's supernatural powers, so he deliberately wanted to help Shen Huai as his arm. However, he also knew something about Shen Huai's poisoning, so he thought that Shen Huai was I'm exhausted, so I thought of it as an excuse.

Shen Huai didn't explain either. He just said that his entourage had arrived and he would arrange it himself, and then left in a hurry.

Gao Jun held his breath and lowered his eyebrows, asking for forgiveness on the road.

Shen Huai didn't say a word until he was about to arrive at the Su family courtyard, then he said coldly: "Don't you see it yet? This is a trick we have fallen into."

Su Ya was waiting in the courtyard. When she saw Shen Huai coming, she hurriedly greeted him.

Seeing the worried look on her face, Shen Huai smiled slightly and held her hand, "I'm here, don't worry."

He told Gao Jun to stay and be careful to protect the Yan family, so he pulled Su Ya over the wall and entered Zhou's house.

"Ya'er, please tell me carefully, what is going on?"

Shen Huai stood in the lower room where Song Jin lived, comforting Su Ya with a warm voice, and then listened carefully while looking around the inside and outside of the room.

"It's all my carelessness." Su Ya's eyes were red as she thought about what kind of situation Liu Sandian would face at this moment, "Last night, last night I heard that woman tell Song Jin that she was going to seduce the tiger away from the mountain today."

She has thought clearly that she must not hide this matter from Shen Huai again.

Even if Shen Huai resented her and hated her because of this, he could only do it to him.

However, she will definitely try her best to find Liu Sandian, not only because Liu Sandian is Uncle Liu, but also because Shen Huai needs him.

Shen Huai had already looked around, walked over, and held Su Ya in his arms.

"Although you and Song Jin don't have the title of master and disciple, we do have a master-disciple relationship," he patted her back gently and said softly, "I understand that you are afraid that I will make things difficult for him again."

Su Ya felt guilty and blamed herself, but he patted her gently and said instantly, "I hurt you."

Shen Huai laughed and said, "How can it be so serious? Song Jin didn't kill Mr. Liu here, so it can be seen that there is another plan."

He pulled Su Ya away from his arms and gently wiped away her tears, "Speaking of which, I should blame myself. I was too trusting. I had known that Song Jin's origin was unknown, but I had a wait-and-see mentality. "

"No," Su Ya never liked to cry, but she couldn't hold back her tears tonight. "It's because of me that you didn't make things difficult for him."

"Tsk," Shen Huai sighed and rubbed her little face, "That sounds quite conscientious. Then when I catch Song Jin, I will kill him cleanly."

Su Ya lowered her head and pursed her lips, not knowing how to face her conflicting emotions.

There was Shen Huai on one side and Song Jin on the other. If Song Jin really cut off Shen Huai's only chance to detoxify, Shen Huai should naturally kill him. However, if Song Jin was really killed by Shen Huai... She thought of countless past moments, I think of the scene when Song Jin rushed to the tidal flat to rescue her despite the danger, but she also felt unable to face it.

Shen Huai kept looking at her, and then sighed slightly, "Silly girl, don't think so much."

He tidied up a strand of broken hair next to Su Ya's face and said with a smile: "Human beings are not grass and trees, how can we be ruthless. I can understand your relationship with Grandma Sun."

Su Ya looked at Shen Huai blankly, he said "Sun Po", not "Song Jin".

"The boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge. Let's solve the problem at hand first - find Mr. Liu first."
