Chapter 670: Same
When they rushed to Weiji City, they got another news that the leaders of the Finch Organization had committed suicide in prison.
Ye Jinyu really wanted to hit his crow's mouth, these people were really ruthless.
They had settled down at the Mingyue Inn now, and it didn't take long for Qi Guanyu to come over alone. He looked at Ye Jinyu and felt relieved to see that she was fine.
"It's the lower officials who are not doing well, although they found their lair that night, they still noticed it. There were explosives buried in the old lair, and several leaders lit the explosives, killing all their subordinates, and several people in the government were martyred. ”
"Is my cousin hurt?" Ye Jinyu asked nervously.
Qi Guanyu shook his head and handed over a reassuring smile. Li Yi pursed his lips and coughed lightly, reminding him to continue to get down to business.
"The lower official sent someone to lightly inspect the corpses inside, all of them were adults, and there were no children." Qi Guanyu said.
"No kids?" Ye Jinyu said in surprise: "No, Xixi told me that there are many children, and it is impossible to sell them all so quickly in just a few days." The three caves of cunning rabbits, do they have any other habitat? ”
"The people of the government searched the city and the outside of the city, but found nothing suspicious. If it's not here, it's in another town. This organization must not be that simple, and we may only be caught by one of the branches. Qi Guanyu frowned and said.
Li Yi shook his head and said: "Those children should still be in Weiji City, the nearest town from here, it will take two days to speed up, the time is too rushed." ”
"Yes, I remember the day I was tied up, they sent a little girl and she didn't look like she had come in the dust. And even if they have prepared in advance, but in terms of time, they have to get our news from Bucheng first, and then transfer a child temporarily, the time is too rushed, it is unlikely. Ye Jinyu said.
Qi Guanyu nodded in agreement, "But where can they hide their children?" ”
The three fell silent.
After a long time, Ye Jinyu clapped his hands and said: "I remember Xi Xi said that they stayed in a big house and were not abused, as if they could hear the bell ringing every day." ”
"Ringing the bell?" Li Sui and Qi Guanyu glanced at each other.
Qi Guanyu said: "There are three temples in the city and two outside the city, so the lower officials will send people to investigate." ”
"Buddhism is important, and the movement should not be too big." Li Sui admonished.
The five temples dispatched the tripartite officials of Yingcheng, Manzhou City and Weiji City, and the results were found out in only one day.
There is a temple in the south of the city, and there is a good hall across the street from the temple, which houses adults without relatives and no reason, but most of them are orphans.
This is a good deed in the city, and several wealthy people in the city fund all the expenses of the charity hall. The first time they checked the nest of the finch tissue, they first ruled out the benevolent hall.
The second time, Qi Guanyu paid more attention to it, and unexpectedly found that except for adults walking back and forth in the good hall, he didn't see children walking in and out.
He took people over to inquire about the situation, but the people in the good hall didn't know if they were too nervous or didn't expect to be approached by the government, and they didn't match the words when answering questions. Qi Guanyu was suspicious in his heart, and blew up a few words with a cold face, and let these people show their stuffing.
There were more than 20 children in the dining hall, ranging from three to ten years old, some of whom were missing from the city. After checking the rest, it was found that the hands of those thieves were all over Shanbei Province.
The people in the yamen were interrogated layer by layer, first the people in the canteen, and then all the owners of the canteen and the rich people in the canteen who funded the canteen, and some parents who came from all over the country were also interrogated by the people of the government.
The result was not satisfactory, and there were very few clues that could be asked, which was not enough to advance the case, and the government once again lost its clue.
"Cousin, did those people really commit suicide? But why wait until you're in prison to kill yourself? After listening to Qi Guanyu's explanation of the case to the Hou Ye, Ye Jinyu couldn't help but raise a doubt.
Qi Guanyu said: "Brother Wei also suspected that there was something strange about their deaths, but after investigation and a post-mortem examination, the result was that there was no trace of struggle and fight on their bodies, some died by hitting the wall, some committed suicide by biting their tongues, and some hanged themselves with belts. ”
Qi Guanyu paused, and then said, "As for the cell before they committed suicide, there was no difference. ”
"Who was arraigned before they killed themselves?" Li Sui asked.
"Xiaguan, the head catcher in Manzhou City, as well as the army of Fa Cao in Weiji City, the head catcher and his taishou have all been to see them." Qi Guan said.
"Everybody went together? Or is it separate? Li Sui asked again.
"Together, the lower officials were next to me at the time, and I didn't find anything wrong with these people." Qi Guan said.
Li Sui shook his head, "This organization dares to run rampant like this, and if it is discovered, it will not hesitate to die together, I am afraid that the backers behind it are not simple, and they must know that once exposed, they will not live long." And this backer is very likely to be an official office. ”
Qi Guanyu did not refute his inference, but he did not continue the discussion, but said: "Since the people of Shantang and those rich people can be safe and sound, it seems that they really don't know anything, so there is no need to silence them. ”
Li Sui nodded, suddenly thought of something, and asked, "Has the important witness that Qi said before joining the army been caught?" "Worry-free Chinese network
"Thanks to your tip, the man was hiding among the beggars and has now been caught." Qi Guanyu arched his hand and said.
Li Sui raised his eyes and asked, "Then is this person safe and sound now?" What have you confessed? ”
Qi Guanyu said: "This person is a traitor in the finch organization, and he was almost killed by his own people when he fled to Manzhou City, but we saved him. But he didn't trust the government and fled, and after he was caught, the officials locked him up at the post station, and only a few cronies knew about his existence, so he is still alive. ”
"Didn't confess anything?" Li Sui asked.
Qi Guanyu shook his head, "I don't want to say anything, and it's useless to be tortured." ”
"Qi has worked hard to join the army." Li Sui changed the topic again, "I don't know that among those people who were arrested by the government, there is a man named Yu Hong, about thirty or forty years. ”
Qi Guanyu's eyes widened slightly, looked at Ye Jinyu and Li Sui, and asked rhetorically: "Why is Master Hou looking for this person?" ”
Li Sui chuckled, "It seems that Qi joins the army and knows him, but I don't know if he is dead or alive now?" ”
Qi Guanyu was silent for a moment, and after thinking clearly, he said, "He is at the post station." ”
Ye Jinyu's face was full of astonishment, and then turned into surprise. This is really "stepping on iron shoes and finding nowhere to go, and it takes no effort to get it." ”
Unexpectedly, the object of their investigation and the traitor of the organization in Qi Guanyu's mouth were the same person.
A day later, Li Yi and Ye Jinyu took a carriage to the post station.
Qi Guanyu took them to see Yu Hong, a man in his forties with a two-inch-long beard, a thin and slender body, his face was vicissitudes, and his eyes were a little cloudy, and he couldn't see much anger in it.
"My lord, it's the same how many times you come, the villain is just a pawn for them, only doing what he should do, and he doesn't know what they do." Yu Hong didn't look at them, and said quite weakly.
Li Yi said to Qi Guanyu: "I am looking for him for personal matters, can I ask Qi to join the army to avoid it first?" ”
As soon as these words came out, not only Qi Guanyu frowned, but Yu Hong also opened his eyes and looked over, but seeing that the two newcomers were quite faceless, they thought it was another trick of the government, so they snorted coldly and closed their eyes disdainfully.
"Then the next official will retire first." Qi Guanyu glanced at Ye Jinyu before leaving, but the latter deliberately avoided it.
When the door closed, Li Yi walked to the table and sat down, facing the people on the soft couch, "Yu Hong, since you have betrayed them, why do you continue to help them keep secrets." I've heard they've been hunting you down, and if you really want to save yourself, you should tell the truth. ”
Yu Hong opened his eyes, squinted at him, and asked, "I don't know which yamen this official came from?" Look at your bearing, you look like you were born as a soldier, could it be that you came out of the Governor's Mansion? Yu is really ashamed to let the adults run for nothing. ”
Li Yi's fingers pointed at the table, chuckled, and said unhurriedly: "Ren Mou said, I came here today for a private matter, and Shicai is just to persuade you, so as not to suffer from flesh and skin again." But since you're insisting, let's talk about another thing. ”
Yu Honghu stared at him suspiciously and warily.
Li Sui smiled, but his eyes were very sharp, giving people a sense of oppression, "Yu Hong, do you remember what you did when you were a steward in the Jin family ten years ago?" ”
Yu Hong looked at them in shock, his eyes shuttling back and forth between the two, as if he was guessing their identities.
Ye Jinyu took a step forward and sneered: "It seems that this senior has done too many bad things, and he must have forgotten everything ten years ago, but unfortunately those unjust souls underground can't forget it." ”
"You, you ......" Yu Hong's face turned pale in shock, and he couldn't speak, "Who are you?" Ten years ago...... Ten years ago, I didn't know you at all, you guys, what do you have to do with you, don't want to up. ”
Ye Jinyu looked at Li Sui and saw that he had given up the right to speak, so he turned his head and reminded Yu Hong, "Ten years ago, Fengzhou embezzled ink in the case. ”
Yu Hong was so frightened that his body weakened, as if he couldn't even sit steadily, he collapsed on the soft couch with a frightened face, and after thinking for a long time, he suddenly looked at Ye Jinyu, "You, what is the relationship between you and Ye Li?" ”
Ye Jinyu's face changed, and then he sneered, "I remember it so clearly, it seems that I really did something bad back then, I'm afraid I won't forget it in my life." Ye Li, who was framed by you back then, where did all those embezzled silver come from? ”
Yu Hong kept waving his hand and explained incoherently: "No, no, no, it's not me, I don't have it, I don't want to, and I don't want to hurt him...... You're his daughter, aren't you? I know he has a daughter, it's been so many years since that incident, you still track it down, it's gone, you little doll just live a down-to-earth life, don't make trouble for yourself anymore. ”
"You know our affairs so clearly, what happened back then, did someone instruct you to deliberately frame my father?" Ye Jinyu listened to his tone changed several times, and seemed to have a deep fear of what happened back then, and seemed to feel guilty about her, an orphan.
Yu Hong kept shaking his head, but he refused to mention what happened back then.
"All these years you have hidden yourself and lived in darkness to hide from those who command you? Or is that person also related to the Finch Order? We know the situation in your home very well, don't want to hide it. Li Sui asked in a deep voice.
Yu Hong suddenly looked up at him, hurriedly got up and knelt on the soft couch and kowtowed, "What I have done has nothing to do with my family, if you want to fight or kill, you will come to me, don't hurt them, please." Over the years, I have been hiding in Tibet and doing a lot of hurtful things, I know I deserve to die, but I do this so that they can have a stable life. ”
Ye Jinyu raised his eyebrows, it turned out that Yu Hong's weakness was his family.
"Compare your heart to your heart, you hurt my father, have you ever wondered how his family feels? Even my mother was indirectly killed by you, you hurt other people's families, and you used that method to protect your own family, aren't you afraid that retribution will also implicate your family? Ye Jinyu fell in love with the play, and when he was talking, he really said that his nose was sour and his eyes were hot, and he was full of anger.
