[800โ™‚ small รท said โ†’.], wonderful free reading without pop-ups!

When Niu Ergen and Zeng Qi were discussing how to escape, Fan Yiguang, who lived in a small courtyard in Xizhen, was full of entanglement.

In the evening, there was a knock on the door.

When I opened the door, there was no one in sight, but a note was stuffed by the threshold.

He picked it up and unfolded it, and hurriedly closed the door.

At first glance, the note was sent by the shopkeeper.

The above means that he is asked to help sneak into the restaurant, take out the hidden account books from the bookshelves in the small study, and send them to the Qinghe River in the southwest corner during the third watch, and there will be heavy thanks.

After getting the note, Fan Yiguang was a little distracted, and he didn't even have a good bite of food, so he locked himself in the house.

His mood was very complicated.

I have been following the shopkeeper for three years.

The shopkeeper treated him differently, taught him a lot of things, and reused him and paid him the highest salary among all the men in the restaurant.

The most important thing is that two years ago, his father was seriously ill and had only one breath left, and he still helped the shopkeeper find half a ginseng to save his life.

Such a person who knew him was a heinous human trafficker!

A day and a night had passed, and he still couldn't believe it.

Kind to people, thinking about others, polite, modest and polite, except for the occasional look at him that makes him feel a little uncomfortable, the shopkeeper can hardly find a little fault in him.

How did child trafficking happen? In the past three years, how did the shopkeeper manage to keep his clues unrevealed?

The business of the restaurant is not bad, and the monthly income is hundreds of thousands of taels, why should he become a human trafficker?

Could it be a misunderstanding?

Will there be some grievances that cannot be inhumanely addressed to outsiders?

If so, is the evidence in the book he wants?

Is it possible to get the account books to help him clear his grievances?

Fan Yi stood up and walked out.

It was about three watches, and now it has been added to one watch, which means that he still has an hour to act.

Although reason told him that he should hand over the note to the Inspection Division, he can't be ungrateful, if the shopkeeper is really wronged, then only he Fan Yiguang can help him.

Although he didn't know if anyone was following him, Fan Yiguang still made a big circle after going out, thinking that after getting rid of the tracking, he cautiously approached the back alley of Xixia Street.

Luoxia Town in the summer night, it will not be quiet immediately at night, and there are still many people chatting in the streets and alleys.

But this night was only a watch, and the street was already quiet.

Of course, it may not be quiet in the shadows of the streets and alleys, but there is no human figure in the moonlight.

In the small courtyard of the Jiang family, Jiang Han had not fallen asleep yet.

She sat alone at the stone table under the peach tree with her eyes closed and her cheeks supported, playing over and over again in her mind, the bits and pieces of her contact with Zeng Qi.

The suspect's hat on her head made her sleep, and Zeng Qi couldn't fall to the ground if she didn't catch her for a day.

Instead of tossing and turning in bed, think about it seriously.

"Smack!"

Jiang Han's cheeky hand was crooked, and he fell on the stone table, lamenting, "It's been the tenth time...... Still nothing out of the ordinary...... Is it really going to prison again this time? โ€

People have crossed into small people, all of them have started their careers and reached the pinnacle of life, why does she always go to prison?

Or she'll run away too!

Uncle Zhao doesn't know when he'll come back, and Liu Dakang doesn't care at all......

She closed her eyes, and her mind flashed with Zhou Yukuai's face smiling like a demon.

It's better to escape than to be tortured to death in prison, right?

But she didn't take action, she originally thought that she was going to stay awake all night, but after thinking about it, she didn't know if she was overusing her brain, and she snored slightly in less than half a cup of tea......

Unlike Jiang Han's fake insomnia, Lord Shen in the study room of the Yazheng Courtyard after the Inspection Division was really busy.

On the desk in the study was a piece of drawing paper that almost filled the entire table.

On one side of the paper there are unsightly hills and peaks, marked with names and numbers, but on the other side there is still a blank space.

Lord Shen, who was wearing a homely robe, traced on the drawing paper while comparing it with a few small pieces of paper that were a little crumpled on the drawing paper.

He painted so intently that he completely lost track of time.

"Knock knock!"

There was a knock on the study door, but Lord Shen did not respond.

After knocking three times in a row, a cautious question sounded outside the door: "Master, can the little one come in?" โ€

Lord Shen came back to his senses and glanced at the hourglass on the bookcase, which was already halfway through.

He put down his paintbrush, pinched his eyebrows, and replied a little tiredly, "Come in." โ€

"What's the matter?"

Chu Wu hurriedly said: "There was a beggar at the side door, saying that there was important news to report to you, and Uncle Huang, who was guarding the door, originally didn't want to pay attention to him, but he said that it was about Zeng Qi, so Uncle Huang came over." โ€

Lord Shen stood up and walked out, the tiredness on his face was swept away, and he said as he walked: "Where are the people?" โ€

The fifth day of the junior high hurriedly caught up: "Waiting in the ear room by the side door?" Master, if you wait here, the little one will bring him in to see you......"

"The stakes are so high that I don't need to be polite, I'll go see him."

"But master, we don't know if it's true, don't there be many people who come to report the news during the day, and the results are all fake, it's late at night, you've been busy all night......"

Lord Shen raised his hand to stop his nagging: "Okay, Lord knows your mind...... If the news is not credible, he must not have the courage to come. After a pause, he asked, "You just said that you are a beggar?" โ€

The nod of the fifth day of the first month should be.

"That could be really good news." Maybe it's the person who is clothed by the river in the daytime.

Unexpectedly, it really made her famous.

The corners of Lord Shen's lips curled and he quickened his pace.

It was the Han beggar waiting in the ear room.

As soon as he saw Lord Shen, he hurriedly shouted, "My lord, the villain can see you." If you don't come again, Zeng Qi will run away! โ€

Lord Shen was not frightened by his exaggerated expression, and asked calmly: "Where did you get your news, what is it specifically, tell me about it in detail." โ€

"Oh, my lord, it's really not easy to get this news, but fortunately, I'm a person who is more meticulous in his work, and carefully explained to my subordinates, no matter how big or small, I have to collect ......."

Lord Shen cut off his words: "Tell the point!" โ€

Han beggar choked, peeked at Lord Shen's expressionless face, and said, "We found that in front of an abandoned shed by the Qinghe River in the southwest of the town, a fishing boat suddenly stopped. โ€

Hearing this, Chu Wu raised his eyebrows and said sharply: "You dare to come to disturb adults in the middle of the night with this news?" On the bank of the Qinghe River near the southwest wall of the town, there is no prohibition on boats! โ€

The appearance of the fifth year of the junior high school was too fierce, so frightened that the originally high-spirited Han beggar's knees weakened and almost knelt down.

He hurriedly said: "No, this ship is different, although there are occasional people stopping the boat over there......" For a while, he couldn't say what was different, and he was so anxious that his forehead sweated, "In short, it's different, it's like a ...... prepared for escape"

Chu Wu secretly glanced at Lord Shen's somewhat disappointed face, and immediately shouted: "Enough, you beggar is really bold enough, in the middle of the night with a news of your own imagination, you came to deceive the adult, I think you are impatient!" His face was full of impatience, and he waved his hand like a fly, "Get out of here, and I'll catch you if you get twisted any more!" โ€

After saying that, he hurriedly blamed himself and said to Lord Shen: "Master, it's all small ones that don't ask clearly, and if you run away in vain, the small sin deserves death!" โ€

Lord Shen ignored him and only stared at the beggar Han.

The natural deterrence made Han beggar tremble, and he knelt down with a "plop".

"My lord, the little one didn't lie to you, if it's useless news, you just give the little one a hundred guts, and the little one doesn't dare to come in the middle of the night! The little one hasn't finished talking yet......"

"Say." Lord Shen was humane, his voice was too cold, so frightened that the beggar Han gasped and stammered.

"In addition to the ship, there is also other news."

"What's the news?"

"My people, see, see Fan Yiguang, wandering around the Million Dollar Restaurant."

What does his people see?

There are still people guarding the restaurant, as long as you break in, you will be in a net.

"You think he has something to do with the ship?"

"Yes, it should be related."

Nonsense.

Lord Shen couldn't help laughing: "It was Jiang Han who asked you to pay attention secretly, right?" Why didn't you report this news to her first? โ€

"This, villain, villain thinks he should tell the adult first......"

"Do you want to claim the prize yourself? Could it be that Jiang Han is unwilling to give you money? โ€

That woman can really do this.

Lord Shen slandered in his heart, but the beggar Han didn't know, he only felt that Lord Shen was too powerful, and he saw through his careful thoughts at a glance, and couldn't help but sweat coldly and his crotch was slightly wet.

Sure enough, he thought too simply.

If he knew that Lord Shen was so scary, he wouldn't have come in person.

Lord Shen didn't want to waste any more time, so he said lightly, "You can go." Then he walked towards the door.

Before the door was opened, the door was pushed open from the outside by Lao Huang.

"My lord, there is another kid outside, saying that the little brother of the Jiang family asked him to report the news."

"Jiang Han?" Lord Shen paused, and out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the beggar Han who was lying on the ground.

Didn't this guy report it?

Han beggar honestly confessed: "It should be the villain's subordinate, the villain asked him to report to the little brother of the Jiang family, he didn't know that I came to the inspection department......"

Jiang Han didn't come himself, but he asked the little beggar who reported the news to report to him......

With her personality, in order to catch Zeng Qi in person to receive the reward, after hearing the news, she must have run to the river first.

Lord Shen was a little speechless.

couldn't help but think a little evilly, so I simply let her run for nothing, make a joke, and the next time I see a profitable one, see if she dares to pounce on it regardless of it.

As soon as this thought entered his brain, he couldn't help but laugh.

She's sure she's going to pounce on it anyway.

Forget it, he'd better go check it out.

lest the woman be caught as a thief by the archers who watch the night.

He said lightly: "Get up, where is the ship, show the way for this official." โ€

"Master, are you really going?" I knew it was a trip for nothing.

Lord Shen bowed slightly.

"Then the little one is going to inform Young Master Lu?"

Lord Shen thought about it and agreed, and when the fifth day of the new year left, he followed Han beggar and his beggar men, and hurried to the Qinghe River in Nanzhen.

Jiang Han, who was woken up from his sleep, was as bright as a torch when he heard the news.

Originally, she wanted the little beggar to lead the way and go straight to the scene to arrest people.

The two were lucky to run two alleys without encountering the night patrol team, and Jiang Han suddenly remembered that they should notify the inspection department.

So, after asking the little beggar for the location, he asked the little beggar to go to the inspection department to report the news, and he went to the river first.

I didn't know that after crossing the stone bridge, I was dragged into the shadows.

When you look closely, it is Zhou Banxian's person.

This person had worked with her once before, and she didn't know what it was called, but she knew the person.

Before the man could speak, she lowered her voice and asked, "You also got the news?" But I already know where Zeng Qi is going to escape by boat. You're a step late. "This matter has to be explained clearly, otherwise she will have to pay two people when she is caught.

The man let out an "oh" and said, "Then I'll go back first." โ€

Jiang Han waved his hand: "Well, thank you, you go, help me thank the half-immortal, but this time you are slow." As she spoke, she looked left and right, and ran southwest.

When the messenger who was about to leave saw it, he looked puzzled and immediately chased after him.

"How?"

"You're running in the wrong direction, aren't you?" The messenger whispered.

"That's right, isn't it by the Qinghe River in Nanzhen? There is a ruined shed there. โ€

"No, no, at the mouth of the Qinghe canal, the boat has just passed."

Jiang Han was stunned: "You mean to say that the boat you found is not by the Qinghe River in Nanzhen?" โ€

"Of course not, at the mouth of the Qinghe Canal, there is a garbage heap over there, and it is very close to here from Xiahefang."

What's going on?

How could it be two completely different directions.

"How do you know that the ship was used by the treasurer to escape? Instead of fishermen going out to fish in the middle of the night? โ€

As soon as the words came out, Jiang Han was stunned on the ground.

Yes, she didn't ask the little beggar just now, how could they conclude that it was the ship that the shopkeeper used to escape?

"Our people got the news today that a fisherman sold his boat and waited for dozens of taels of silver."

"Did the shopkeeper buy it? But how do you know? Jiang Han asked stupidly.

The man's face was a little impatient: "How do you know that you don't care, anyway, we know, do you still want to chase it?" โ€

Jiang Han subconsciously felt that their news was more reliable, after all, Luoxia Town was so big, and it was known to these people if they sold a boat that day, and ordinary people really couldn't do it without some strength.

After a little hesitation, Jiang Han denied the news of the beggar Han, and immediately said, "Okay, I'll go with you." โ€

But who reported to the people in the inspection department?

No matter what, it's definitely too late to go to the inspection department again.

With a flash of thought, Jiang Han rolled his eyes and said, "Let's go openly, if we encounter an inspection, just report to them." โ€

As soon as he walked not far away, a team of people came to him, and when he saw the two people running, he immediately stood by and shouted: "Stop, who is it?" โ€

Jiang Han was stunned and said happily: "Brother Kang, it's me, hurry up, you came just in time, I got the news that Zeng Qi is going to run away, hurry up and follow me to arrest someone!" โ€

Liu Dakang's face turned pale, and he didn't ask her how she knew, so he led ten catchers and followed Jiang Han and the messenger to the mouth of the Qinghe Canal.

As soon as their group of men and horses turned into Xiahefang, Lord Shen and the two beggars were followed by a group of night patrol archers they encountered on the road, and hurriedly passed the stone slab bridge and headed towards the Qinghe River in the southwest corner.
