Chapter 218: Evidence Collection

"You woman, why are you so troublesome?"

In the inner room of only two people, facing the summer frost and cold who deliberately picked bones in the eggs in front of him, and wanted to test some fiction and reality through words, he only felt that the pregnant woman in front of him was so troublesome and said: "Finding you a maid to try the food is already the best treatment we can provide you, so can you not kick your nose and face, and get an inch!" ā€

"The chief steward did tell me to do my best to take care of you before he went out, but if you don't know each other, then it's no wonder to me. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info Anyway, the conditions are like this, you love to eat the food in front of you, don't eat and pull down, toss and collapse the body, and the only one who suffers is yourself and the child in your belly. ā€

"Oh! Lin Sangongzi, who knew exactly where the account books were placed, was now in the capital, and as the leader of all the subordinates in this village, it was very likely that the chief steward who knew where the account books were placed was not here now. So that is to say, at this stage, if Ting Xuan and Xi Ran can come in time and surround this Beizhuang group, then they will definitely be able to find the entire set of account books intact. ā€

In this way, he silently muttered to himself in his heart, showing an attitude of acquaintance on his face, and then picked up the dishes and chopsticks in front of him, Xia Shuanghan said: "Okay, I have eaten this meal, but can you ask your chief steward to find someone to get me a new pair of shoes?" I really can't get used to wearing these soft, thin, and non-heeled embroidered shoes, so get me a pair of the most ordinary boots, so it's all right, right? ā€

"You wait, when the chief steward comes back at dusk, and I'll talk to him again." Seeing that Xia Shuanghan didn't toss around anymore, but ate the meal in front of him with interest, he once again inadvertently told her the news that Xia Shuanghan needed to know the most - the chief steward would not come back in a short time.

"Very good, if my plan is not unexpected, then, since Lin Sangongzi is busy with Lin Ergongzi's case, it is impossible to deliberately run to this village today, and the leader of this Zhuangzi will not come back until dusk, he will definitely be able to come to rescue my Tingxuan before dusk, and now he will definitely be able to return with evidence and full load."

After getting enough information from the conversation, Xia Shuanghan, who knew that he only needed to wait quietly, stayed in the house peacefully and leisurely after instructing the maid to take away the leftovers and lock the door again.

At the same time, Lu Xiaoqing, who received the mosquito repellent sachet from Lin Xiran and was ready to go out, was running on the way to this village to relieve Xia Shuanghan.

Following Xia Shuanghan intermittently staying on the straight, and deliberately aggravating the fragrance at every turn, Lu Xiaoqing, who led several people with high martial arts skills, arrived at the mountain forest where Xia Shuanghan was now located.

Because of the experience of walking horses and hunting in the suburbs of Beijing countless times over the years, Lu Xiaoqing, who has long been very familiar with the hill in front of him and the surrounding environment, does not need to follow the hound to track to the gate of the village, and also knows what kind of building scale and pattern of the village in this area in front of him, which may belong to the Zhongqin Mansion.

"Leave two people to house the horses and hounds, and take care of concealment to prevent the grass from startling the snakes, and the rest of the people will investigate the outer wall of the village in two ways, find out how many entrances and exits there are, and remember to leave one person at each entrance and exit to guard and monitor from a distance. As for me, I'll go in first and look for the frost girl. ā€

Lu Xiaoqing, who simply gave instructions to his entourage, and then jumped on the wall, quickly sneaked into the village in front of him as if he had entered a no-man's land.

Grabbed a lone maid in the garden, and found out the exact location of Xia Shuanghan's current location from her mouth, and then cut a knife on the back of her neck, and properly hid her sleeping in the rockery hollow Lu Xiaoqing, but once again used a few jumps, and without anyone in the village noticing, came to the roof of the house where Xia Shuanghan was under house arrest and the doors and windows were locked from the outside.

"Grandfather? Why are you here? This was really unexpected! I originally thought that nine times out of ten it would be Tingxuan. Xia Shuanghan, who had been in a state of waiting since lunch, immediately sensed his arrival the moment Lu Xiaoqing landed on the roof tile of the house where she was, because of the slight noise he made.

Raising her head and looking up at the roof, she waited for Lu Shaoyun's face to be revealed behind the uncovered roof tiles, and the moment she saw Lu Xiaoqing, who had silver hair and silver beard, her eyes widened slightly in surprise.

And Lu Xiaoqing, who walked through the opening on the roof and landed lightly and agilely, patted her shoulder and smiled after standing up: "Why, frost girl, grandfather came to rescue you, and made you so unhappy?" ā€

"No, what's the matter? Look at what you said. Smiled and thanked Lu Xiaoqing, who had traveled dozens of miles to find her, knowing that the most important thing at this stage was Xia Shuanghan, who was looking for the ledgers that were the key evidence, and soon said the reason why he was voluntarily brought here by the kidnappers, as well as other necessary matters.

"Really? Somewhere in this other village, is there any physical evidence that can wipe out Zhongqinbofu and Xu Jinhan and bring them to justice? After listening to Xia Shuanghan's narration with a grim face, Lu Xiaoqing, who immediately made up his mind, said: "Shuanghan girl, I hope you will wait here for a while in a short time, let me go out of this village, and send a message to Ting Xuan." After I have finished reporting the letter to him, beckoning my relatives to sneak in, and put down all the people in this village, I will come and open the door again, and let you go out openly, what do you think? ā€

"Well, grandfather, you can do it!" Xia Shuanghan, who completely trusted Lu Xiaoqing's personal entourage, and was not at all dissatisfied with his suggestions, just nodded yes and watched Lu Xiaoqing jump out of the opening on the roof.

Shi Qigong took a leap on the roof tiles, and soon returned to Lu Xiaoqing outside Biezhuang smoothly without anyone noticing, and immediately according to what he just said, he gave his grandson Lu Shaoyun Shao a flying pigeon to pass the book, and then ordered to go down and let his relatives who were guarding the entrances and exits sneak into Bezhuang.

The eighteen servants in the entire villa, including all men and women, were all put down in just three pillars of incense, and then tied up and placed in the most spacious courtyard of the villa. And the two men left behind by Lu Xiaoqing, several horses and a hunting dog, also quickly crossed the threshold and temporarily settled in the village.

Ordered to go down, let his people be divided into three ways, all the way to carry out the sentry task at the entrance, all the way to stand by and guard the servants who were tied up, and all the way to search around, looking for the account book that was most likely hidden in the dark room where he didn't know where to go, Lu Xiaoqing quickly opened the padlock on the door, and let Xia Shuanghan regain his freedom.

walked out of the house, stretched comfortably in the bright sunshine, and muttered a sentence "I just hope that after today, Xu Jinhan, such a ghostly guy, will never disturb my life again", and then went to the hospitality hall of Beizhuang with Lu Xiaoqing.

The sun tilted towards the west a little bit, and when the hour came to Shenshi, he was originally in Jingzhao Yin Yamen as normal as before, but after receiving the news from his grandfather for himself, he immediately organized people to rush to the suburbs Lu Shaoyun, and finally arrived at his destination smoothly.

"Frost, you actually did such a thing without telling me? Are you too dismissive of me as a husband?! ā€

Lu Shaoyun, who led his subordinates into the door and saw his wife who made his own decisions and risked her life in the main hall of Beizhuang, even if her face darkened, she said to her with concern and anger: "Dealing with Xu Jinhan should have been my business, what do you do to act as a substitute, and casually let yourself face these things that are likely to go wrong and cause you to fall into danger." ā€

"Lu Tingxuan, you don't talk about personal matters in the process of performing official duties, why can't you even do this?"

Xia Shuanghan, who knew that her husband's current performance was completely out of his concern and protection for her, but thought that collecting and verifying things was far more important and urgent than discussing these topics that the couple could talk about later behind closed doors, when Lu Shaoyun was pushed in front of Lu Xiaoqing, he immediately said: "Grandfather, you better send someone and take him to the dark room to have a look!" ā€

"Tingxuan, Frost Girl is right, you have other things to do now." Seeing that his grandson wanted to say a few more words, but his granddaughter-in-law had already hid behind him, Lu Xiaoqing, smiled and said: "Now I think it is right to ask your subordinates to quickly bring the horses in, and then prepare thoroughly, and wait for the rabbit." ā€

"After all, whether it is the inquiry conducted by the frost girl in advance, or the interrogation we just conducted, it shows that there are still five people who have gone out in this village and have not returned. If you don't hurry up and let your subordinates settle the horses, what if the returning chief steward sees that something is wrong with this village from afar, and then runs away? ā€

"Although my grandfather believed that whether the steward ran away on his own, or whether he hurried back to his master to report his escape, you could quickly arrest these criminals who had absconded in fear of crime. However, if we can solve the problem in the most convenient way, then there is really no need to complicate and trouble, don't you? ā€

"......" had to admit that what his grandfather said was very reasonable, and at the same time, he really didn't want his subordinates to see the joke of his small dispute with his wife, and Lu Shaoyun, who said to Xia Shuanghan, "I'll reason with you when I get home", turned around like this, and took his subordinates to follow Lu Xiaoqing's personal entourage and went to the dark room where the account books were placed.

In the process of inspecting and transporting the account books, the chief steward and his party of five people came back, and Lu Shaoyun, who saw his subordinates arresting him without giving a word, took the account books as physical evidence of Xu Jinhan's violation of law and discipline and murder for money, as well as the Beizhuang servants who were the witnesses of Lin Sangongzi's instructions to the servants to kidnap the officials' relatives, and embarked on the return journey back to the capital with Xia Shuanghan and Lu Xiaoqing and his party.

When passing through the Zhuangzi belonging to Lin Xiran, where Baliya was, he separated from Xia Shuanghan, who asked to go to appease his friend who did not know her safety, and Lu Xiaoqing, who volunteered to act as a guard to protect Xia Shuanghan and Baliya's safe return to Beijing, Lu Shaoyun, who took the first step to return to Beijing with human and physical evidence, went straight to the Jinwuwei Yamen to properly place the human and physical evidence, and then took his subordinates directly to the Zhongqin Bofu after the curfew while the iron was hot.

It is not difficult for Lu Shaoyun to arrest Lin Sangongzi, who thought that his kidnapping and coercion plan had succeeded, and Lin Xiran had already obediently obeyed and let him send him, as well as Zhongqinbo and Zhongqinbo, who also participated in these illegal and disciplined businesses.

It's just that while the arrest on Lu Shaoyun's side was being carried out quite smoothly, Lu Shaoyun's deputy, who went straight to the Xu family with another part of the people, accidentally let him go, who was strong in martial arts, after injuring Xu Jinhan, who was struggling to resist.

"Now that it has entered the curfew and the whole city is under martial law, it is impossible for Xu Jinhan, who was injured, to escape from the city anyway, so as long as we immediately follow the bloodstains, we will definitely be able to arrest him."

One of his assigned subordinates informed Lu Shaoyun of the situation here, and then ran to the deputy at the front, chasing the bloodstains on the ground all the way, and took a few Jin Wuwei behind him to the east of the city.

Since he realized that Lu Shaoyun and Su Yixing had recognized him as the mastermind behind the original calculation of them, Xu Jinhan, who did not dare to be careless, had been dealing with the two of them very carefully and cautiously in the past two months. Even, during Xia Shuanghan's imprisonment by Jing Zhaoyin, he suspected that Lu Shaoyun and Su Yixing might keep the plan in his hand, and he did not relax at all.

Therefore, although I don't know where Jin Wuwei got enough evidence to arrest him tonight, Xu Jinhan, who has always been prepared and prepared, still escaped from Xu's mansion at the cost of being injured without being caught off guard.

"Damn, if the Xu family doesn't die, I can calmly take her as a hostage in my own home, and then negotiate with Lu Shaoyun." Xu Jinhan, who was holding a short sword in his hand and holding his injured body to perform light exercises, was purposefully heading to the east of the city.

"The Xu family no longer has a bargaining chip like the Xu family that can be used as a hostage, and the Dingguo Mansion is heavily defended because of the nursing home cultivated by Lu Xiaoqing, so it is impossible to break in and take hostages, so there is no way, I can only go to the east of the city to try my luck now."
