Chapter 142: Closing the Net

As soon as these words came out, someone in the crowd immediately said:

"What, it's Yicheng."

"Yicheng has been here for decades, and he knows the environment best, so it's not surprising that he is the best."

"That is, maybe he was involved in the case ten years ago."

"Yes! I heard that the thief who was arrested had a good relationship with this Yicheng, and it is possible that he was responsible for the case ten years ago and now. ”

Yi Cheng's face was pale, and his eyes were full of hatred when he walked out to look at Su Qinyan.

said coldly: "You are really a nest of snakes and rats." ”

Su Qinyan's expression did not have a trace of waves, "If you don't admit it, I will find the little post guard next to you to interrogate, I think he will definitely recruit all of them." ”

Yi Cheng was shocked and immediately confessed, "Okay! I admit it, save the adults and don't touch my son. ”

Originally, there were some doubts about the two of them, so he put his mind at ease.

In his opinion, this Su Qinyan pretended to be presentable, and it was impossible to find out that he could find someone to blame.

Su Qinyan then asked, "What about the silver for disaster relief?" ”

"I won't tell you you black-hearted things."

"Take the man down and put him in the back storeroom."

As soon as Su Qinyan's voice fell, two black-clothed men came out and carried the post man backwards.

The fourteen or fifteen-year-old post guard also wanted to run out with him.

"Put this kid in a separate room."

Soon two more men in black came out and took the child away.

Su Qinyan looked at the people in the hall and said, "Now that the matter has been clarified, let's go back to sleep!" Tomorrow, when the prefect comes to hear it together, everyone can leave. ”

Some people, with a little excitement in their hearts, also began to move.

Helan Yue and a few people returned to the room.

Wen Chongming couldn't hold back his excitement and said, "Are you so sure that the real silver thief will definitely act tonight?" ”

Su Qinyan said: "With such a good opportunity, he will definitely go to kill tonight, so that there is no proof of death, then they themselves will become outsiders, so that they can take those silver to live happily." ”

"Then let's go down there and wait, and catch them in the first place."

Chu Xiaohe glanced at Wen Chongming with disgust, "You are stupid!" With their status, this kind of thing will definitely not be done on their own. ”

"So what are we going to do now?"

"Nothing else, let them play on their own."

After chatting for a while, they went back to their rooms to rest.

In the dead of night, a masked man in black came out of the front yard.

He went around to the backyard, climbed over the fence, poured a small bottle of kerosene into the roof of the storehouse, took out the fire fold in his arms, and threw it out in his hand the moment he jumped off the wall.

The fire ignited at once.

The raging fire and the man's screams immediately woke everyone up.

The moment the upstairs people pushed open the window, someone shouted: "The warehouse is on fire, put out the fire quickly." ”

By the time everyone went downstairs, the man's screams had completely stopped.

Su Qinyan looked at the fire with a pale face, "Hurry up and put out the fire." ”

It took them almost half an hour to extinguish the fire.

Seeing that there was only one frame left in the warehouse, some people were happy and some were worried.

When the fire was extinguished, all the people who were tired enough went back to their rooms to rest.

The general and the overseer looked at each other and left.

He Laosan saw that the treasury burned down and Yi Cheng died, so the main culprit in this case was confirmed.

Because at night, Yi Cheng admitted in front of everyone that he had stolen the money for disaster relief, and the trial was just a formality.

But now that he is dead, there is no need to try it again, and no one will pursue this case again.

Unless new evidence emerges.

Helan Yue also went back to the room to rest, looking forward to tomorrow's net.

The next day, early in the morning.

When the general was about to go to the city, the local prefect suddenly appeared.

When he came to the hall, the general made it clear what had happened yesterday.

He changed his previous attitude and praised Su Qinyan for a while.

What judgment is like a god, what ability is outstanding, these words of praise are not to be said outwardly.

Tianfu straightened his sleeves, "What happened here, I will truthfully report to the above, in this case, the general and his party will return to Beijing as soon as possible, and Lord Su Qincha can also leave, and the others can't leave until the disaster relief silver is found." ”

Hearing this, He Lanyue's brows furrowed slightly.

How did she think that the prefect was deliberately targeting her third uncle, and didn't want her third uncle to enter Beijing.

Because the other family is doing a small business, this time they came out to visit relatives, and now they are ready to go home, so it is not much of a problem to be early or late.

That's why she thinks it's too obvious.

The general left with his own men, and the prefect left ten people to continue to guard here, and also left.

Of course, Su Qinyan and the others had to do a full set of plays, and they got into their carriage and left.

When Helan Yue was leaving, she quietly said a word to her third uncle: Let him wait patiently.

They went out of the inn and into the grove outside.

Helan Yue went to the forest to find Luo Chen, explained him some things, and returned to the carriage.

They continued north, but they walked very slowly, and sometimes even got out of the car when they came across a beautiful place.

It wasn't until late in the evening that the men who followed them left.

Several people quickly got out of the carriage and let the carriage wait for them in the next town.

Chu Xiaohe took Helan Yue with him, and several people used light skills to quickly rush back.

Because they didn't go far because they traveled all the way, and half an hour later they bought a few horses in a small county town and set out on the road again.

Finally, after more than half an hour, I arrived at the Hongze Lake behind the post station.

After a loud whistle, a man in black appeared in front of them.

Chu Xiaohe lowered his voice and asked, "What's the situation now?" ”

"It's still being salvaged, and it's probably almost over."

"Take us there."

The man in black disappeared for a short while, and soon a painting boat came to the dark lake.

After a few people got on board, a quarter of an hour later, the boat stopped.

Their boat was parked in the dark night, on the edge of the lake a dozen meters away, and another painting boat had a dim lantern lit on the bow.

By the dim light, they saw that the people on board were moving boxes from the water to the deck.

Su Qinyan asked the man in black standing behind them, "Have you arranged everything?" ”

"Don't worry, Lord Su, there are all our people around here."

"Good!"

After waiting for a while, a man in black came from the lake in the distance, and lightly tapped the lake water to the boat.

"Master, all the boxes have been loaded onto the ship, and it has been verified that it is indeed silver."

"Action."

One of the men in black fired a red flare into the night sky.

In an instant, when the lanterns were lit one after another, a dozen or so men in black leaped up at the same time, and soon they were on the ship that was salvaging things, without giving them any chance to react at all.
