Chapter 29: The Dead
"Ah!!h
The man on the ground protruded from his eyes in pain and screamed.
Jiang Cheng pinched the side of his neck, the man's voice was cut off instantly, and his whole body twitched as if he had been relieved of his whole strength, and Jiang Cheng found the poison hidden in the tooth socket and took it out, and then said: "Take care of people!" ”
After he got up, the person next to him hurriedly stepped forward and tied up the man in black.
Jiang Cheng reached out and pulled a piece of his clothes and tied it to the bleeding place on his arm, and he was also injured when he fought with someone just now.
"Childe is alright?" Jiang Cheng asked.
Shen shook his head: "I'm fine, are you seriously injured?" ”
"Skin trauma."
Jiang Cheng pulled a sleeve and tied the wound with one hand, and after seeing that there was not much bleeding, he said, "These people are so bold that they dare to attack Gongzi, but unfortunately they didn't catch the other ones and let them run away." ”
"Just grab one."
Shen glanced at the man and said to Jiang Chengdao, "Interrogate the first instance to see if you can pry his mouth open." ”
"This man is a dead man, and it may be difficult for him to speak." Jiang Cheng said.
Shen had seen the action of this person who killed himself without hesitation after being arrested just now, and he also guessed who should have raised the dead man, this kind of person has hard bones, and it is difficult to make him speak, but ......
"Try it first, it's best if you can speak." If you can't open your mouth, there are other uses.
Jiang Cheng carried the person down.
Shen looked at the bloody Hu family on the other side, and after knowing that there was no danger around, he let go of Xue Nuo's hand.
"Follow me." Shen admonished.
Xue Nuo couldn't help but glance at his reddened wrist, and then looked up at Shen Ke, who was already walking towards the Hu family, pursed the corners of her mouth and was a little silent, she withdrew the short knife in her sleeve, and followed behind Shen Ke with a somewhat complicated expression.
……
The Hu family was broken into suddenly, and after the porter was killed, those black-clothed people went straight to the main courtyard of the Hu family with a clear goal, and killed people when they saw them.
The Hu family's subordinates died a lot, and Hu Yan, the eldest son of the Hu family, barely survived because of the desperate rescue of the servants around him, and the help of the people sent by Shen to keep an eye on the Hu family.
Hu Yan was particularly embarrassed when he was picked out, he was stabbed in the back shoulder, almost slashed his neck, and the wounds on his legs were also deep to the bone.
When the subordinates bandaged him, he listened to the report of the people in the mansion with a pale face, his gentle and considerate wife died, and the sister who saw the imminent marriage date with Pingyuan's uncle Ziding also died, and he was the only one in the entire mansion who escaped this catastrophe.
Shen looked at the two injured guards: "What about Gong Lin?" ”
"Brother Gong followed Hu Shenglin out."
The guard was also not lightly injured, and he was weak when he spoke, "In the afternoon, Hu Shenglin suddenly received a letter, and then hurriedly left the house, Gongzi asked us to keep an eye on the Hu family, Brother Gong was afraid that Hu Shenglin would have an accident, so he took two people with him, and let us stay and watch the Hu family when we left." ”
They were just keeping an eye on the Hu family, so they didn't leave too many people, who would have thought that the Hu family would be suddenly attacked after dark.
After those black-clothed people broke in, they went straight to the backyard, and killed people without saying a word, with the strength of the two of them, plus these guards of the Hu family, in the end, they could only barely protect Hu Yan alone.
"It's good that Childe came quickly, otherwise it would ......"
The Hu family may have been destroyed.
Hu Yan listened to the two people who rescued him just now who were actually Shen Ke's people, and his warm face was full of paleness: "Shen Gongzi, what the hell is going on, you, why did you send someone to keep an eye on the Hu family, and why did someone want to harm us?" ”
"This is going to ask what your Hu family has done."
Shen looked at Hu Yan, "Tonight, there was a sudden attack on the Yamen, Liao Fan, who was arrested for opening a black mine with your younger brother, died tragically, and his father Liao Liming also disappeared yesterday. ”
"What does Hu Gongzi think, what is all this for?"
Hu Yan had already lost too much blood, and his eyes were even darker when he heard it.
He entered the academy early to gain fame, and his uncle also promised to take him into Beijing after his scientific examination, because officials are not allowed to interfere in business affairs.
His father never let him touch his hands on family affairs, and he also devoted himself to studying, but this doesn't mean that he really doesn't know anything about vulgar things.
Hu Rong and Liao Fan opened a black mine together, and it will not be a coincidence that Hu and Liao have accidents one after another.
Shen said: "Your mother and Hu Rong died suddenly, something is wrong, I thought that your mansion wanted to cut off the tail to survive, so I killed the two of them, so I sent someone over to take a look, I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen." ”
"Now it seems that the extinguishment of the mouth is indeed the extinguishment of the mouth, but it is someone else who does not want to leave you alive."
Hu Yan's lips trembled: "My father ......"
"If nothing else, I'm afraid something happened to him too."
Hu Yan's figure flickered.
Someone next to him hurriedly helped him and said urgently: "Childe! ”
Shen looked at Hu Yan, who was overwhelmed, and said: "Master Hu, your father should also know about Hu Rong opening a black mine with others, and this matter is not just as simple as the surface, it can make people so excited and mobilize people to wash the door at the cost of blood, and the entanglement of interests is no longer something that your Hu family can afford." ”
"The father and son of the Liao family have had accidents one after another, and there is also a problem on your father's side, this matter involves Jiangnan officials, maybe it also involves the DPRK and China, and almost all the people related to it have died at the moment, but you are the only ......one left."
Although he didn't finish speaking, Hu Yan already understood what he meant.
As the only living person, those people will never let him go.
"I don't know about things at home, and my dad never tells me about business, I don't know anything..."
"It's not about whether you know it, it's just that you're a member of the Hu family." Shen said in a deep voice.
Hu Yan's blood is gone.
Shen said lightly: "The matter of the black mine is just a trivial matter, and the case of Hu Rong's murder was not reported to the imperial court before Lord Tao was investigated, but the governor of the Prefecture Mansion and the superintendent of the southern salt patrol suddenly learned the news, and even planned to come over in person in the next two days." ”
"The black mine of your Hu family is doing the business of selling illicit salt, and before the governor of the state and the supervision of the imperial history came, someone took the first step to destroy your mouth, and even someone deliberately wanted to take me away from Qizhen before......"
Shen said that he was stunned at this moment, raised his eyes and asked Hu Yan,
"Hu Yan, do you know what I mean?"
Hu Yan is not stupid, but Shen has already said it so clearly, what else does he not understand?
The matter between his younger brother and the black mine seems to be very big, but in the final analysis, it is only on the side of the county government.
Qizhen is not a great place, although there is a ferry, it is impossible for the state capital to keep an eye on this side.
Since Tao Ji has not reported the matter of pressing the Hu family, how did the Zhizhou Mansion know?
There is also the supervision of the imperial history, both to patrol the salt, it stands to reason that the energy should also be on the side of Caoyun and Yandao, how could he suddenly care about the small murder and black mine cases, and still want to support the Shen family's son-in-law with a very high family background and a strong background?
This makes it clear that you are trying to cover up something.
"Shen Gongzi ......"
Hu Yan trembled, hurriedly supported the people around him to get up, and then knelt down towards Shen Qi, "Ask Shen Gongzi to save me!" ”
