Chapter Fifty-Eight: Catching a Turtle in an Urn
Yin Chengye relieved his doubts, it turned out that he just happened to meet. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoMaybe it's because of the same woman, so she helped Bingyue and investigated the case. He had a bad heart, since this woman was alone, everything would be fine if he killed her. But he glanced at Lin Jiabao, who was paralyzed on the ground, and gave up this idea. Lin Jiabao is a person who is lustful as life, and he is greedy for life and afraid of death. If someone from above investigates, he will definitely betray himself.
Lin Jiabao had already spoken: "Of those women, three of them are in my back house, one is in the Yin family's compound, and two are in the 'Tianxiang Pavilion'. There are two ......" Lin Jiabao's voice became lower and lower, and he didn't dare to speak in the back.
When Xu Wanzhen heard this, she was angry in her heart, and her hands clenched into fists to suppress herself. What kind of scum is this? There are a few powers that do whatever they want. A good woman, not to mention the looting and ruining at will, she also gave it away at will, and even sold it into the Qinglou. Only to hear his voice coming from between his teeth, Sen Ran asked, "What happened to the other two?"
Lin Jiabao heard her anger and replied timidly: "They, they are dead!" When he said this, he was not so afraid, and justified indiscriminately: "I didn't let them die, they died by themselves." ”
Listening to Lin Jiabao explain everything, Yin Chengye knew that the general trend had gone, but he was not so flustered in his heart. However, a few women's lives are not worth it, even if they admit it, they can prevaricate with more silver. He is the representative of the salt merchant in Jindi, and Lin Jiabao's father is a salt patrol, even if the woman in front of him has the heart to investigate, the above will not let her disturb the salt politics of the two Huai because of a few women.
But what he didn't expect was that this incident was very alarming, and in order to save Lin Jiabao, Peng Tingshi had decided to push him out to blame.
At the moment, he bowed his hand and said: "This lord, Yin will immediately release these four women, and will immediately redeem the two in the 'Tianxiang Pavilion'." As for the two who have died, Yin is willing to compensate their families, each with two thousand taels of silver. ”
Although Xu Wanzhen was resentful in her heart, she could only accept it when she saw it. She is now in danger, and it is good to be able to successfully bluff these two, and she can get off the ship safely before she can find another opportunity to expose the ugly deeds of these two people.
Xu Wanzhen said lightly: "It's so good." Drive the boat back to the Guazhou Pier. ”
Yin Chengye was about to leave the hall to give instructions, but he saw Steward Wang hurrying over and said, "Master Yin, the big thing is not good! Many boats chased after the river, including the officers and soldiers of the Yangzhou Mansion and the Meng Chong ship of the Qian family. Access to the sea was also blocked. ”
Yin Chengye turned his head abruptly and looked at the woman standing proudly in the hall. I only heard her say in a deep voice: "Don't panic, maybe they came to greet me when they saw that I hadn't returned for too long." ”
If Yin Chengye was still a little suspicious of her identity before, the doubts disappeared at this moment. If she didn't have a great background, how could she alarm the black and white characters at the same time and escort her?
Xu Wan was really warm, and less than three hours before the accident, there were officers and soldiers and the Qian family's ship coming to look for her. Thinking about it, Mrs. Xu must have tried her best to save herself. It's a good feeling that someone cares, and the corners of her eyes are a little moist when she has been fighting alone.
But in order to prevent Yin Chengye's dog from jumping off the wall in a hurry, this scene has to be performed now.
Xu Wanzhen walked out of the hall slowly, followed by Yin Chengye. Lin Jiabao was suddenly changed, and he was so frightened that he couldn't get up, so Yin Chengye asked Steward Wang to take care of him. Lin Jiabao, he still can't afford to offend.
When she came to the deck, Xu Wanzhen held the side of the ship with both hands and stood against the wind. The river breeze blew her clothes and hunted, the veil of her hat fluttered in the wind, and her temperament was like a fairy, like a Lingbo fairy descending on the earth.
The river breeze was wrapped in a trace of cold rain, the sky was dark, and the big and small boats were lit with blazing torches.
Qian Feng and Ying Feng were on a Meng Chong ship led by Qian Feng, and when they saw a woman walking out of the Yin family's big boat, standing against the wind, they couldn't really see her situation. Qian Feng hurriedly ordered: "Come closer, let the Yin family put the gangway down." ”
The fleet led by Master Li blocked the entrance to the sea in front, and now the Yin family's big ship is like a turtle caught in an urn, and whether there is evidence of guilt or not, you have to go on the ship to search to know.
The Yin family's big ship lowered the gangway, and Qian Feng took Ying Feng and Master Li to bring people on board.
Xu Wanzhen greeted him and saw that the leader was Qian Feng and another official in the costume of the master. Knowing that Qian Feng was entrusted by the Xu family, he came to look for her, and bowed his head slightly to Qian Feng, she still needs his cooperation in this scene. Qian Feng comprehended, although he didn't know what was inside, he first waited for the changes, and then looked for opportunities to cooperate.
Xu Wanzhen bowed to Master Li without being humble or arrogant, and said, "I've seen my lord." The woman's disappearance has been clarified. Of the eight, two have died, and six have promised to be released immediately. ”
Master Li was a little confused, this is the etiquette of meeting peers in officialdom. But if he had seen such a beautiful woman, he would never forget it. But he really didn't recognize the woman in front of him, and Yangzhou City had never heard of a woman investigating a case.
Xu Wan really wanted this kind of reaction, and said indifferently: "I originally wanted to go to Suzhou, but I saw Yin Chengye doing evil after passing here, so I made a move." The next affairs will be handled by the local people in Yangzhou. Dare to ask what adults call them?"
Master Li guessed in his heart, could it be an adult from Beijing? Hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Don't dare, don't dare, my surname is Li, but he is the criminal master of Yangzhou Assassin's Mansion." ”
Xu Wanzhen bowed her head slightly: "Then it will be handled by Master Li." ”
Qian Feng couldn't help but admire in his heart, he knew the ins and outs of this matter best. Xu Wanzhen was obviously taken captive by Yin Chengye here, I don't know how she responded, she was able to turn against the customer, and forced Yin Chengye to take the initiative to confess the sins she committed.
After they got on the boat, they were able to be witty and vague their identities, making Master Li mistakenly think that she was from the capital. It can not only deepen Yin Chengye's confirmation of her identity, but also prevent her true identity from being revealed in front of everyone. You know, she never even took off her hat.
She's done well enough, beyond his expectations. This thirteen-year-old strong girl can control such a complex scene, and she is so mature and sensible that it makes people feel distressed. Fortunately, she was tall and deliberately lowered her voice, so she didn't show flaws, but there must be fear in her heart.
At this moment, Qian Feng looked at Xu Wanzhen as if he was looking at his own child, and silently said in his heart: "Child, don't be afraid." Now that I've arrived, I'll take care of the rest. ”
Qian Feng took a step forward, pulled Master Li, and said softly: "Master Li, this woman should be from a lot of background, and we will cooperate with what she said." ”
Seeing that Qian Feng also said the same, Master Li coincided with what he thought in his heart, and nodded and complied. After all, for him, the most important thing is to solve the case and find those women. The doorway of officialdom, he didn't want to pay attention to it.
