Seven or eight days have passed since Tongjitang was raided, and in addition to the fact that the order to close the city is still in effect and has not yet been revoked, Jiaping Guancheng has returned to its former calm, and the daily life of the people does not seem to be affected. Things are very noisy, but people's attention has long been out of this, they are all busy preparing for the New Year, buying New Year's goods, cutting new clothes, cleaning houses, cleaning houses, busy with joy, as if Tongjitang has never appeared in Jiaping Guancheng.

But for the Shen Jiajun, the Zhenguo Mansion, the Marquis of Wuding's Mansion, and even the court of Great Xia, this matter is far from over.

In addition to Abuhan's two lieutenants, the boss of Tongjitang, and the leader of the team that sent medicinal materials, the other people who were arrested have been interrogated two or three times, some of them are timid and afraid of being beaten, and the shadows are not like this, so they crackle and say everything that should be said and what should not be said, and some people look like hard bones, the first round of interrogation is closed, and in the second and third rounds, they really can't bear it, out of instinctive admit, they obediently say everything they know.

But, after all, these are all pawns, what the boss commands, how they do it, why they do it, they themselves are confused, completely unclear.

After reading the confessions of those people several times, Shen Cha sighed and threw aside the pile of paper in her hand, in her opinion, these were waste papers, there was no valuable information in them, it was a complete waste of time.

"Don't worry, it's not easy to hear anything useful from the mouths of these people, they are all on an errand, what secrets can they know! If you want me to say, if you want to find a breakthrough, you have to ask the boss of Tongjitang. Speaking of which...... Judging from the appearance of that boss, he should be from our Great Xia, not at all like a native of the Jin Kingdom. ”

Xue Ruitian, who actually came to see Shen Cha under the pretext of participating in the interrogation, wore thick cotton clothes, cotton robes, and a woolen cloak on the outside, and sat like a bear in the closest place to the charcoal basin in the torture room.

"I checked his household registration, his ancestral home is Zhendingfu, and he is from our Great Xia."

Shen Cha glanced at Xue Ruitian and handed over her hand stove, she had to sigh every winter, she had never seen a man who was more afraid of the cold than a girl, if there was a ranking of people who were afraid of the cold, Xue Ruitian must be ranked first. Sighing, Shen Cha nodded to Ying Wu who was waiting on the side, and motioned for him to invite the boss of Tongjitang over, since they are compatriots, there is no need to be tense, if there is anything to sit down and talk well, if there is any problem that cannot be solved, everyone will help solve it.

"Since we are from Great Xia, things are not so simple."

Shen Haolin sat on the stone bench with a cold face, holding his marshal's shelf, at first glance, it was quite bluffing.

"Of course it's not simple, this crime of treason and collaboration with the enemy, that's going to be the case of the nine clans. Eh, in this way, I have another question, this Tongjitang is an old shop in our Jiaping Guancheng, and Boss Qiu has lived here for many years, but I really haven't heard of any family members in him. His neighbors all said that this man was always a loner. ”

Xue Ruitian was holding Shen Cha's hand stove, it was called a beauty, and the whole person was like a blooming flower, and he couldn't accept it if he wanted to.

"Master Hou, wipe your saliva, and stain the general's hand stove again!"

Momiji, who was standing on the side, rolled her eyes vigorously, silently wondering in her heart, whether she could take the initiative to kick this unconscious boss, she was worried that if she continued to follow this guy, she might become stupid too.

"Xiao Tian is right, write it down and ask him later." Shen Haolin took the hand stove handed over by Mei Zhu, turned his head and stuffed it to Shen Cha, "Also, how old is this Boss Qiu?" ”

"The household registration shows that he is fifty-seven years old this year, the same year as the master." Shen Cha turned around, looked at Xue Ruitian, and smiled, "Brother Xiaotian, my master is coming back for the New Year, do you know?" ”

"Yes." Xue Ruitian suddenly hung his head like a frosted eggplant, and said weakly, "The New Year's gift has been prepared, I don't know if it is in line with the mind of the deputy marshal." However, I agree with Haolin that the real purpose of the deputy marshal's return this time is to clean up the two of us, and we are both ready. ”

"Great!" Momiji clapped his hands and said excitedly, "Finally someone is going to fix you!" She looked at Shen Cha, "General, does Vice Marshal Qin lack a fighter?" Let me come, Vice Marshal Baozhun Qin is very satisfied! ”

"Hey! Feed! Feed! Xue Ruitian kicked in the direction of the red leaves, and said helplessly, "You are so happy to see me being beaten?" You are my guard, and you are going to stand on my side at the critical moment, why do you think about it all day long, how to unite others to beat me? ”

"Probably you owe a beating!" Hongye dodged Xue Ruitian's second kick, rubbed against Shen Cha, covered his mouth and smiled at Xue Ruitian.

Xue Ruitian felt that if he continued like this, he would be vomited blood by Hongye Qi, for the sake of his body, it was better to be calm and calm, and it was better not to be like this kind of person.

When Boss Qiu of Tongjitang was brought into the torture room by Ying Wu, he felt that the atmosphere inside was slightly depressing, and when he raised his head, he saw that the big people in Jiaping Guancheng were sitting inside, she was stunned for a moment, and before Shen Cha could speak, Po Tong knelt on the ground and kowtowed to a few people three times.

"Eh, Boss Qiu, what are you doing here? You are much older than us, and you are our elder, how can you give us such a big gift, we can't afford it, this is to break our life! ”

Several people were stunned by this, but Xue Ruitian was the first to react, and quickly asked Ying Wu and Hongye to help people up, and by the way, they dragged a stool and asked Boss Qiu to sit down.

"Xiaomin wants to thank all the adults for rescuing Xiaomin!" Boss Qiu sighed heavily, "Xiaomin knows what the adults want to ask, please ask, Xiaomin will definitely know everything and say everything!" ”

"Boss Qiu is a cheerful person, since this is the case, let's not beat around the corner." Shen Cha was very satisfied with Boss Qiu's attitude, and seeing that Ying Wu and Mei Zhu were ready to record, he raised his voice lightly and asked, "First question, Boss Qiu is from Zhending Mansion, why is he involved with Jinren?" Could it be ...... Is your household registration fake? ”

"Back to the general's words, Xiaomin's is indeed a native of Zhendingfu, and he has not done anything about household registration. When Xiaomin was young, he used to be an apprentice in the largest medicine store in Jinguo. Originally, I planned to come back after the apprenticeship was completed to open a medicine shop, but by chance, I saved the only daughter of the owner who was bullied by Abuhan's men, and she later became my wife. ”

"In other words, you inherited your Yue family's medicine shop?" Xue Ruitian touched his chin and looked at Boss Qiu curiously, "Then shouldn't you be in Jinguo?" How did you come back to Great Xia? ”

"We came back in the second year after we got married, first went back to Zhending Mansion and lived for more than ten years, and then came to Jiaping Guancheng." Boss Qiu took a deep breath, "My father-in-law is a reasonable person, and he also thinks that when Xia and Jin fight, the people must be hostile, so he has no prejudice against me, but he also teaches me all his skills." Knowing that I was close to my homeland, he offered to let my wife come back with me. Moreover, he knew that my desire was to open his own medicine shop, so he introduced me to the merchants who had been supplying to him. ”

"You also opened a medicine store in Zhending Mansion?"

"Nope." Boss Qiu shook his head, "In that place in Zhending Mansion, there are many medical halls and medicine stores, and there is no shortage of them like the border gates. So, even though I'm a local, it's hard to get a foothold in a local medicine store. Moreover, my family also has a business to take care of, oh, my family has a dim sum shop, and the skills I learned from my father-in-law can also come in handy. The voice at home is also busy, and the matter of prescribing a medicine store is temporarily put on hold. After sending my father and mother away and closing the dim sum shop, we came to Jiaping Guancheng to really open the medicine store. ”

Shen Cha looked at Ying Wu and saw that the other party nodded at him, indicating that what Boss Qiu said about what happened during this time in Zhending Mansion was consistent with their investigation, and there was no problem.

"So, what about your wife?"

"Already deceased." Boss Qiu's mood suddenly became very low, "In the second year of our visit to Jiaping Guancheng to open a medicine store. After returning from Jinguo, except for a few letters a year and an occasional return to read, I basically didn't know much about the situation of my father-in-law's family. My father-in-law is the kind of person who only reports good news and not bad news, and every time he writes a letter, he tells us to live our lives well and not to worry about him. Moreover, when we went to see his old man's home, he showed us a very good side, so we didn't know what happened to him in Jinguo at all. ”

"Is it related to Abuhan?"

"The general is wise, and it is indeed related to Abuhan." mentioned the former generalissimo of the Jin Kingdom, Boss Qiu's face was resentful, and at first glance it was the kind of grudge that was quite deep. "Abuhan's men once molested my wife, but because I beat her away, they hold a grudge and are always looking for an opportunity to take revenge. Abuhan is a person who wants a lot of face, and he will not make a big deal because of such a thing as an attempted molestation, but he is very vindictive, once he is targeted, no matter how long it takes, this revenge will not be able to escape. ”

"That's right, that's right, that's right, Abuhan is such a bastard, I'll tell you." Xue Ruitian agreed, "I have a deep understanding, a few years ago on the battlefield, I fought with him once, and accidentally left a hole in his chest. As a result, this guy has always remembered this, it was last year, and we fought again. The grandson took advantage of my unpreparedness and left me in the same position. After the piercing, the bastard still said to me with a shy face, Vice Marshal Xue, let's clear the two of us. I was so angry, this mouthful of blood almost didn't spray on his face, I was thinking about it at the time, the master's ability to hold grudges is not small, wait for the master to slow down, see if you don't kill you, this time it's not a hole, the master will cut off the guy you eat! But who would have thought that Abuhan died by himself and was picked by Wan Yanping, and the revenge of the young master would not be avenged. Now that I think about it, it's a pity. Xue Ruitian looked at Boss Qiu and blinked his eyes, "Hearing what you said just now, I suddenly remembered something." There was once a rumor that all the medicinal materials supplied to Jin Jun by a medicine store in Jin Guo were fake, and Wanyan Zongcheng was furious because of this, and ordered Generalissimo Abuhan to behead all the people involved. Boss Qiu ......" Xue Ruitian stood up, walked in front of Boss Qiu, and bent down slightly, "The boss of this medicine store involved in the case can't be your father-in-law, right?" ”

Hearing Xue Ruitian ask, Shen Haolin and Shen Cha's eyes were all focused on Boss Qiu's face.

"Yes, it's Xiaomin's father-in-law. He framed my father-in-law by despicable means, and completely confiscated the medicine store, and all 87 people in the medicine store, including my father-in-law, fell under Abuhan's butcher's knife, and none of them were spared. When we received the news, it was already half a year after the incident, and my wife couldn't withstand the blow and left in less than a month. Boss Qiu glared at the front viciously, his hands clenched into fists, "At that time, I decided that no matter how difficult it was, I must seek revenge on Abuhan." A sinister smile appeared on Boss Qiu's face, "God will still stand on the side of justice, so, I succeeded!" ”
