Chapter 137 Caught in the right place

Regarding the man in black, Cheng Ziyu made up a story with great confidence.

If you have the ability, these officers and soldiers will find out the man in black and confront him!

"Oh, by the way, maybe the man in black fled through the window because of the fire in the storeroom, and instead smashed my priceless bottles that he stole from him! It's just that the fire in the warehouse hadn't come out yet, and everyone was attracted to him, the man in black, so no one knew that the warehouse was on fire......"

She couldn't help but glance at the cabin of the painting boat, and she didn't know if it was an illusion, but she faintly heard a snort.

"But Gao Xi's nose is blue and his face is swollen, and he is clearly a victim."

"Humph! The man in black disappeared out of thin air, and since he couldn't hand over people, naturally he was the most suspicious. Why does he have to plan ahead and clear his suspicions, right? ”

"Miss Cheng means ......"

"Gao Xi is playing a bitter meat trick! His people had already rushed up to the third floor to look for him, but when they brought him down at this time, they might be doing this flesh wound for him! ”

Cheng Ziyu snorted. "My lord, I have an idea!"

"Miss Cheng, please speak up!"

"At this moment, you hurry up and take someone to see Gao Xi's body! If he was injured by the man in black, the other party naturally couldn't have only hurt his face. In other words, if his face is still so miserable, then his body must be even worse. This is one. Second, you hurry up and search him! If he loses all his possessions, as much as I do, then perhaps there is one or two more to be trusted.

But if his body is intact and he is still covered with gold and silver, then if he is not the mastermind, then it can only mean that the thief is blind and his brain is broken, and he only risked his life to knock him down and beat him for no reason, but he does not want gold and silver in his eyes! ”

Hearing this, the official's eyes suddenly lit up.

Indeed, this is the easiest and quickest way to determine what happened tonight.

The official actually clenched his fists and nodded, and immediately led people to jump onto the small boat requisitioned by the government to prepare to retire to the big ship......

"Official!"

Cheng Ziyu couldn't help but say one more thing.

"Today's incident happened in Jiujiang, in the jurisdiction of the officials, even if this case does not look at the determination of my Cheng family, even if it is for the entire Jiangxi Yamen, you can't be unreasonable, at least you have to explain!"

The official was stunned, fully understood, and clenched his fists again before leaving......

As a matter of fact, from the time of the explosion, many experienced officers and men had already smelled the smell of nitrate ash spreading in the wind, and they had already judged that there was only a lot of gunpowder in the storehouse.

As soon as this judgment came out, it was already doomed that no matter how much collusion or interest exchanges there were between the government and Gao Xi, it would be impossible for them to stand on the same front.

The Gao family was already doomed. At this moment, it is just a process of passing through, collecting evidence, inference, trial, admitting guilt and sentencing.

I don't know how many ports, how many yamen, and how many people's official hats, futures, and fortunes will be involved in this incident.

In front of everyone, there is such a big fuss, and it is impossible to cover it up, so what these front-line yamen can do is to try their best to make up for their mistakes and minimize their guilt.

But even then, they may not be exempt from liability.

If they don't make their posture and stance clear at this moment, they can't afford the consequences.

And since the Gao family is no longer saved, it is natural that they should bear everything from beginning to end.

For all the officers and soldiers, they all have the same goal of urgently convicting the Gao family at this moment! And in order to prevent the trivial matter from being involved, the sooner this crime is convicted, the better......

It's destined to be a sleepless night!

Wanzhi County of Jiujiang Prefecture has arrived, and he is busy on the big ship of Gaoxi.

For the first time, he felt that the wine bags and rice bags that were dangling in front of him in the past were so insufficient. Almost half of the officers and soldiers in Jiujiang have been transferred, but his available manpower is still stretched.

Originally, the fire had been contained around the warehouse, but it was not difficult to control the fire because of the wooden structure of the ship, but it was still not easy to extinguish it. The master even asserted that the sooner the fire was extinguished, the more evidence could be preserved and the source of the explosion could be found......

So, after feeling that Xiang Shangwusha was very likely to be killed by this strange explosion, they had no choice but to give up the plan to empty the scene, and had to agree to the enthusiastic people on the surrounding ships to help put out the fire.

In this way, their investigation is equivalent to a semi-public state, and there are a lot more lively eyes to stare at - and this is exactly what Cheng Ziyu wants!

The man in black still couldn't find it.

After careful investigation of the river, nothing was found.

The group of officers and soldiers who came down from Li Chun's painting boat stepped forward to whisper to Wanzhi County and handed over a record of their testimony.

Soon, Nazhi County discussed with the director of the wharf yamen, and with a wave of his hand, he directly detained Gao Xi, who was sitting in front of the warehouse.

Their plan was exactly what Cheng Ziyu suggested.

Gao Xi was caught off guard and was directly dragged aside. Before a few of his subordinates could jump, they were also detained and dragged to the other side for questioning.

Gao Xi was inspected in public, and his front placket was rudely ripped open......

Sure enough, except for a bruise, the fine skin and white flesh on this guy's body were not damaged at all.

And the inner pocket of his chest and the purse on his waist were all thick silver tickets. The jewel and gold crown on his head are worth a lot of money, the wrench on his thumb is still there, and the Hetian jade pendant on his waist is still conspicuous......

Such a big piece of fat, if it is directly skipped, how stupid should the man in black be?

Several officials looked at each other, and their judgments were the same.

There is only one last possibility left: the man in black obeys Gao Xi's orders! The silver ticket in the man's cloak is direct evidence. As for the circumstantial evidence, as Cheng Ziyu pointed out, they have a list of three sheets of paper at the moment that can be verified little by little!

After all, on the entire boat, there was no one else on the entire boat who could release and hide the man in black except Gao Xi! ……

In fact, this is the reason why Cheng Ziyu did not let Gui'er completely hurt Gao Xi at that time. Gao Xi wants to be a eunuch in the painting, and she herself wants to dismantle him even more!

But her plan has already arranged the role of "Men in Black", and the purpose of this role's existence, in addition to taking the blame, is to plant a false accusation! Therefore, Gao Xi and the man in black must be a friendly "cooperative relationship......

It is not difficult to bring down the Gao family, but she does not want to be targeted by the unknown backers behind the Gao family! She had to pluck herself clean! She simply put all the responsibility on Gao Xi! After today, from Gao Xi to his backer, he will not figure out the real process......

In that compartment, into the painting and Gui'er were also rescued by the painting boat crew.

In order to aggravate the tragedy, he was rescued from the boat and fell into a "coma".

And Wanzhi County on the big ship has already sent people to summon Cheng Ziyu and Xia Wei to come forward to question. Before Cheng Ziyu left the painting boat, she couldn't help but look back, but she happened to meet Li Chun's eyes staring at her with a smile.

Li Chun didn't expect it, and his eyes were caught by Cheng Ziyu at the moment.
