When Chen Ying heard this, her heart suddenly became clear, and she was silent.

In any corruption case, there is always collusion between officials and businessmen. Since the Han family is a wealthy businessman in Dengzhou, they must know the tricks very well, and they should have made a big effort this time, so Li Heng sent their family members out, which can be regarded as a kind of protection in disguise.

After settling down for a while, Guo Wan took her cousin Han Xun, eldest cousin Han Yaoyi, and second cousin Han Yaoqing to meet Ni first.

Li already knew about Chen Ying's relationship with her, so he also took Chen Ying forward to speak, and when the mother and daughter walked over, they heard Guo Wan explaining the antecedents to Ni in detail: "...... Because my uncle suddenly fell ill, and my grandmother was also in poor health for many years, and now she is still in bed, and she needs her aunt's help inside and out, so my grandfather asked my aunt and uncle to stay, and only said that this is good, so as not to arouse suspicion that the house is empty, so I only ordered me to take my cousin and sister to go outside to avoid it. ”

After pausing for a moment, she said: "The so-called chance encounter at the gate of the city was also explained by my grandfather in advance, and I ask the two ladies to forgive me, this is all a measure of power, not that I am disrespectful to the two ladies." ”

This can be regarded as a clear explanation of the antecedents, and it also confirms Chen Ying's previous speculation.

All accidents in this world are indeed the products of necessity.

After greeting everyone, Guo Wan and his entourage went to the room to settle down, Chen Ying came to the stable under the pretext of going out for a walk, stared at the cars for a while, and then ordered Xunzhen to invite Li Gong over.

After a while, Li Gong hurried over. Because he has been busy arranging things, his face has seen a slight sweat, his steps are hurried, and a few folds appear on the hem of his robe, which is very different from the image of Su Chang's steady and stable.

"Cousin Lao has worked hard for this trip." Seeing Li Gong coming, Chen Ying was the first to express her gratitude.

Li Gong took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from the corners of his forehead, and said with a warm smile: "I don't know what happened when my cousin called me over?" ”

Chen Ying was not polite, and said straight to the point: "My cousin must also know my uncle's plan." ”

Li Gong didn't expect her to be so direct, and after being stunned for a moment, he stuffed the handkerchief into his sleeve cage and smiled bitterly: "I only found out halfway, please ...... cousin."

"I have a plan." Chen Ying didn't let him finish his words, stared into his eyes and said, "Please cousin must support me and say that my aunt will do what I say." ”

Her voice was soft, but her tone was unmistakable, and her eyes were extremely determined.

Such a Chen Ying was undoubtedly something Li Gong had never seen before, and he couldn't help but be stunned, as if he didn't know her.

Chen Ying didn't give him enough time to react, and then threw out the conclusion: "My plan is to join forces with the Han family." ”

"The Han family?" Li Gong asked rhetorically, the expression on his face was still between shock and doubt, obviously not understanding what Chen Ying meant.

Chen Ying moved forward slightly, whispered the hastily drawn up plan, and finally said, "...... What my uncle is trying to do is a big deal, and as his relatives, our greatest help to him is not to delay or be a burden. Please ask my cousin to help me with this. After speaking, he bowed uprightly.

Li Gong looked at her with a shocked face, he didn't even think about avoiding this gift for a while, he accepted it, and only then did he understand, so he smiled bitterly again: "Cousin, is this a joke about my cousin's incompetence?" ”

"It's not about ability, it's just that we look at things from different angles." Chen Ying's face was the usual smile, and his voice was calm: "Besides, I am already eccentric, my cousin must have heard of it, I got the gold medal of the Holy Imperial Detective in the capital." Synthesizing all known information and analyzing it is my forte, and my ability is recognized by His Majesty. ”

In order to achieve the goal, Chen Ying did not hesitate to pull out the tiger skin of Emperor Yuan Jia.

Anyway, she is the Imperial Detective, and this name is the first part of the whole Chu, and no one can erase it.

Li Gong was stunned by what she said, and then laughed gently, and said, "Cousin, don't be like this, I don't think you're weird, I think you're pretty ......."

"There's nothing wrong with being weird, and I don't want to be like everyone else." Chen Ying raised her hand to interrupt him, and quickly switched the topic to the most urgent matter: "Time is pressing, don't talk much, and please do what my cousin says." ”

The only one who can say that the Ni clan can move the Ni clan, not even the Li clan, Chen Ying hopes to achieve the goal as soon as possible, because time is indeed very tight.

Li Gong thought about it for a while, and finally agreed to Chen Ying's plan.

The plan itself is not very detailed, but it is not a lot of effort, and it is really necessary, and it is the best option that can be taken out in a short period of time. Li Gong has never been a gentle person, whether he is good or bad, he can still be good.

The next facts proved that Chen Ying's judgment was correct.

The Ni family really followed the advice of their eldest son, and when the convoy set off again, it was still the Li family's convoy that went first, and the Han family's convoy maintained a distance of about seven hundred and fifty meters—that is, one and a half miles—and followed not far away.

In order to match the caravan's mule carts, the Li family slowed down slightly and passed through the city from east to west. When the convoy drove out of the city gate, Chen Ying saw that a large number of displaced people had also gathered outside the city gate of Huang County.

She stuck to the window screen and carefully observed the situation of these homeless people, Ye Qing glanced at her and did not stop her.

These displaced people seem to be disorderly, but after a closer look, Chen Ying realizes that their movements do not seem to be free. A group of "homeless" people in the outermost circle of the crowd faintly surrounded most of the people in the middle.

The same rags, the same disgrace, but these "people in the outer circle" do not have the numbness and decadence of ordinary homeless people. They all looked fierce, and they were far more agile than the real homeless.

And most importantly, all of these people were young and strong, and Chen Ying even found that one or two of them had iron rods or knives tucked into their waists.

At that moment, she suddenly remembered that there seemed to be "homeless people" with similar expressions and similar actions around the gray and dead crowd outside Penglai County.

Are these people really homeless?

"When the government opened a warehouse to release grain, were those people taking the displaced people to get rice?" Chen Ying raised her chin and nodded out the window, and explained: "I see that these people are acting in an orderly manner, not like they were temporarily organized, are they a special gang?" ”

At this moment, the carriage was driving away from the moat, and most of the displaced people turned a blind eye, only those outside the circle invariably showed a vigilant look.

"Mitouer." Ye Qing glanced out of the car and replied with an extremely vivid nickname, which was regarded as confirming Chen Ying's guess.
