Li Mi knew very well in his heart that Asakusa Xun was robbed and the jailer and the prisoner were killed, these things had made Jian Dingyong anxious, and he was unable to participate in the operation to exterminate the Japanese invaders.

At this time, Xie Yingluo sent the information back, even if Jian Dingyong can bear it, the rest of the county government can't bear it, this is just a big incident of the slaughter of the ya, and now these rural people are actually committing crimes against the wind, and what they want to kill is still the hottest celebrity Li Mi at the moment, Jian Dingyong will definitely be furious!

Li Mi could have waited until Jian Dingyong brought people over, but he knew very well that he still hadn't escaped Zhou Yu's calculations, maybe he had already prepared to deal with it, and it was even more difficult to get information about Zhou Yu from those people in Cai Ge Village.

He couldn't help but think of the time before the Shen River, those villagers stood on the river beach, with that strange look, as if they were just Zhou Yu's puppets, which was really chilling.

As for the Yao family, this is a mistake made by Li Mi, this mistake almost killed him, and the lesson is not heavy, although Li Mi prefers to believe that there is something else in this, but at the moment he doesn't think too much, because he needs to concentrate on investigating Zhou Yu's origin!

The big river next to Cai Ge Village, originating from Taihu Lake, is a tributary of the Wujiang River, the river channel is wide, the water level is also very deep, and there are many boats passing by.

In addition to Wu County, Changzhou and Wujiang County, there are also Changshu, Jiading, Taicang, Chongming and Kunshan counties.

Li Mi didn't have a map, he went upstream, found this town, and asked to know that this is the boundary of Jiading County.

This town is also all kinds of dirty and messy, relying on the convenience of the river, the boats come and go, it is also very lively, and at night, all kinds of prostitutes and prostitutes are also swaggering around.

The men on these ships often do not see a woman for ten days and a half months, and the wandering people are not suitable to settle down, they are all some wanderers who feed the whole family without hunger, so the silver is spent on these vulgar powders.

Of course, this small town that thrived on the dockyard was mainly based on commercial exchanges, and the boatmen stopped and bought and sold here, which also drove the local economy.

Although Li Mi is a tolerance, after all, it is a tolerance of Wu County, and he is just a fast catcher, and his official identity is not easy to use here.

Besides, this town is mixed, and the government is not helpful, and the real underground king is the boat gang.

The historical origin of the boat gang has a long history, and the forces are also intertwined, and tolerance is not helpful here, and it is impossible for Li Mi to investigate it in the open.

It's also thanks to Li Mi's dealings with the people in Yaxing, Qingque'er, well, now that Qi Changkong's identity has been restored, these children are mixed on the streets, so Li Mi is not too jealous.

If you want to check the origin of this ship, there are two ways, one is to go to the government to inquire, because these ships are registered, and it is not difficult to find them.

But this is a conventional investigation method, and it must not escape Zhou Yu's calculations, Zhou Yu dares to sit on a marked ship, and must be ready to prevent others from investigating.

And it is impossible for a person like Zhou Yu not to know such rules, so Li Mi quickly dispelled such an idea and chose the second way.

This second way is about the same as the number of ways in the tooth line, talking about the rules of the rivers and lakes, but money can make ghosts grind, and silver is also easy to call.

Li Mi walked back and forth a few times on the cross street in the town, the red lanterns on both sides of the street were hung high, and there were banners on them, all of which were a haven for the hard journey of life, an enlightenment school for teenagers, and the girls here were naturally not as good as the top brands in Suzhou Mansion, but they were lively and active and did not deceive customers.

The big girl and the little girl hooked up with Li Mi, but Li Mi just kept smiling, and after walking like this for a few times, a short-bearded man who looked like a pilgrimage stopped Li Mi and arched his hand.

"There are brothers all over the world, dare to ask if you want to stay in a hotel or eat?"

Li Mi has been in the tooth shop for a long time, so he naturally heard the jargon, so he replied: "Go out to rely on friends, the younger brother wants to ask for directions." ”

The man was familiar with it, and knew that Li Mi was a person on the road, so he smiled and said: "This longboard town is not big, it is not small, and it is not easy to find friends..."

Li Mi took out a piece of silver and stuffed it into the man's hand: "Have a meal and a drink together, and friends will be easy to find." ”

The man weighed the amount of silver, and was very satisfied, and said to Li Mi: "I know a good place to eat and drink, and come with me." ”

Li Mi was not ambiguous, and followed the man and walked up, but not long after he turned into a dark alley, the man whistled, and three or five people jumped out on both sides.

"Brother, since you are a person of the Tao, it is better to help the brothers first, and then it will be easier to do things, right?"

Li Mi sneered and didn't speak, although the Qi family knife was wrapped in a black cloth and inserted horizontally in the back waist, Li Mi still used his thumb to push out the half-inch blade, and the dark alley seemed to be bright!

"Don't hide it from your brothers, I do have a few taels of silver on my body, but I want to keep it for big things, if a few brothers have the courage, it doesn't hurt to borrow it from you first."

The more Li Mi said lightly, the more spicy the other party felt, but these people were not scaring and shouting, even if someone came to Li Mi's room!

The man kicked Li Mi's waist and eyes, all of which were sprinkled on the streets, Li Mi's eyes narrowed slightly, and the lightning raised his foot and kicked on the knee of the man's weight-bearing leg!

"Click!"

The man's bones made a crisp sound, and he didn't know if they were broken, but he screamed and fell to the ground, and the others hurriedly picked them up.

Instead of being angry, the leader of the court was a little smiling, and said to Li Mi: "Where is the hero going?" Is it a dry road or a waterway to ask? ”

The reason why they behaved like this was nothing more than to test Li Mi, seeing Li Mi like this, thinking that he should be a ruthless passerby, he was naturally relieved.

Li Mi was shocked, and after receiving the results, he also asked the man, "Dare to ask which brother Tai is from?" ”

The man snorted twice and said, "Don't worry, this Changsong Town has nothing that my Qingzi Gang can't do." ”

"It turned out to be the leaders of the Qingzi Gang, or not, I want to take the waterway, and I will bother you to find a boat, and I will find me in the town."

As he spoke, Li Mi took off the ship's gunwale, which was wrapped in black cloth behind his back, and gently placed it on the ground, then took out a silver bag and put it on the ship's gunwale, and then took five steps back.

The man saw that Li Mi was advancing and retreating to a certain extent, and he was also relieved a lot, so he took the silver bag, opened it and looked at it, and nodded, and then opened the black cloth, glanced at the side of the ship, and said to Li Mi.

"The hero is relieved to go to eat and drink to find the girl, and someone is looking for you when there is news."

As soon as the man said this, Li Mi didn't stop, turned around to leave, and when he saw this, the man asked instead.

"You can trust us so much?"

Li Mi didn't look back, but replied: "The boat gang values the most reputation, dare to pretend to be the Qingzi Gang, I'm afraid that if I don't need to do it, the people of the Qingzi Gang will also take their lives, I'm afraid that no one is stupid enough to do this." ”

In fact, Li Mi ate and drank at will in the town, found an inn to stay, and in the middle of the night, Li Mi heard a short knock on the door outside, so he got up to look, but saw a piece of paper stuffed under the crack of the door.

Li Mi unfolded the letterhead and looked at it, and it read: "Jiading County Nursing Home." ”

In addition to these six words, he even returned half of the silver to Li Mi, and it was not too difficult to inquire about the news, perhaps it was Li Mi's military deterrence, or the admiration of the boat gang between words, these gang people were kind to Li Mi.

I thought that the clues had been broken and there was no way to find out, but Li Mi found the ship mark, but in Cai Ge Village, he went through hardships and almost paid for his life to get these clues.

Now that the clues have finally been cashed in, how can Li Mi not be happy!

Although people are in good spirits on happy occasions, but this place is mixed with three religions and nine streams, fish and dragons, and the inn is the most unsafe place, Li Mi did not dare to sleep at night, but narrowed until dawn, then found a passenger ship, all the way to Jiading County.

This Jiading County, which was later massacred by the Manchu Qing Tartars and known as the Jiading Three Massacres, belonged to Taicang Prefecture earlier, but later merged with Taicang and other places, all of which were incorporated into Suzhou Prefecture.

This time I want to go to the Jiading County Nursing Home to investigate, and Li Mi also changed into a public service to catch fast, after all, he is a member of the county government, and he also belongs to Suzhou Prefecture, and he is not like Wu County and Changzhou County have many interests involved, so they naturally have to take care of each other.

Moreover, the almshouse was the clearest office in the yamen, and even the county jail had more oil and water than him, so Li Mi didn't spend too much time and money to find out about the ship.

The ship was indeed owned by the sanatorium, and was used to transport goods, but at the beginning of the year, someone donated a large sum of money and goods to support the old and the young, and used the ship to transport goods, and then it was lost.

Li Mi didn't expect that he had spent so much effort that he almost lost his life, but he only got such a result.

If Zhou Yu just took the sheep by the hand and took the boat away, the value and significance of this clue would not be great.

It's rare to have hope, and after a long journey, who knows that there is no earth-shattering mystery uncovered, it is just so commonplace, and it is really frustrating.

However, Li Mi has already seen that reality is reality after all, it is not a suspense detective novel, not everything is so confusing, and it is impossible to be unexpected from time to time.

The case in reality is even a little boring, and a set of case-handling processes, although it may not be done step by step, it will never find the only truth at the stroke of an idea, and Li Mi has long been accustomed to this kind of thing that takes all the effort but gets nothing.

Coming out of the nursing home, Li Mi looked up at the sky, and was a little confused, after this clue was broken, the direction of the investigation could only return to Zhou Yu himself.

I'm afraid that Jian Dingyong has already sent people to settle in Cai Ge Village, maybe he can dig out something from those people, then the Yao family...

Thinking of this, Li Mi also shook his head, no longer thinking about those boring things, he wanted to go back, it was better to be late than earlier, Li Mi raised his feet and embarked on the way home.

However, when he passed by an alley, an object suddenly fell into the alley, which happened to hit Li Mi's head, falling to the ground and spinning, but it was a green jujube!

When Li Mi turned his head to look, he saw that there was a servant in the alley, looking east and west, as cautious as a thief, beckoning to Li Mi, and signaling Li Mi to enter the alley to speak.

Li Mishi had also seen this servant in the nursing home, but what was the matter, it was inconvenient to say in the nursing home, and he wanted to talk about it here?
