When Hong Chengluo left, it was impossible to even take these local families with him, right? He was invited by the country of Bega to go back to be the main general, not to change the township to be a gangster!

He Lingchuan focused on the bedroom: "There is blood on the ground in this room, and the whole has been deliberately cleaned. Hong Chengluo doesn't want us to find useful clues here. So, you're all staring at me, look for it! ”

The three of them should be, and began a carpet search.

However, Hong Chengluo was obviously professional enough in this regard, and the four of them worked together to find each brick for two quarters of an hour, not letting go of every brick crack, and even finding the hidden grid in the bedside wall, but they just didn't find any useful personal objects.

"At that time, he had already killed three officials, and if he wanted to clean up this place immediately, he had to leave with his paralyzed wife, um-" He Lingchuan suddenly saw Mao Tao winking at him, so he nodded.

So Mao Tao tiptoed to the edge of the courtyard gate and pulled the door hard-

"Oops", a little old woman fell out of the door.

Her reciting sentences and her mouth was deflated, but her movements were very flexible, and she stumbled and stood firm, turning around to escape.

Mao Tao grabbed her collar and walked straight to He Lingchuan.

He Lingchuan crossed his arms and said, "The state government is doing business, are you here to eavesdrop?" ”

"Huh?" The old woman pinched her ears, her face was dazed, and the volume was very loud, "What are you talking about!" ”

"You're also a resident of this alley?"

"Be louder!"

Mao Tao smiled and said to He Lingchuan: "Boss, this old woman is deaf and dazzled, let's find someone else to ask." ”

Ten copper plates shook loudly in He Lingchuan's hand: "Only by bringing the bounty can you be sincere." ”

When the old woman saw these ten copper plates, her eyes immediately straightened, and her voice became smaller, after all, this represented several days of full food: "Ah, I can hear, I can hear!" What do you want to ask? ”

"Hong Chengluo and his wife who live here, are you familiar with each other?"

The old woman nodded: "Familiar, I often come here to visit the door." Ah Jin couldn't move when she was lying in bed, and I used to pour water for her to drink. A few days ago, there was a life here, and it was also me, I came first to find it, and then I reported it to the official. ”

"How did the fate happen, do you have a clue?"

"Ah, I remember that several things happened that day, first the boys of the Liu family were beheaded, and the government came to search for food, ouch, even my family's ......"

He Lingchuan interrupted her: "Wait, why did the government come to search for food?" ”

"Liu Yaping borrowed courage from the sky, after stealing the military rations a few days ago, he also went door to door to release grain, thinking that he was some kind of unborn thief?" The old woman smacked her mouth, "He was arrested, and the government said that the military rations had to be returned, and the result was ...... Hey, where did you say you came from? ”

"Xiazhou Mansion."

"Older than our officials here?"

"Great." Jiao Tai's urn sounded, "Much bigger." ”

"Oh, when those officials entered the door, they searched for more than food! Several of my rabbit's feet have been taken away. My lord, can you help me get it back? ”

"Wasn't there a few things that day?" Mao Tao reminded her, "What else? ”

"After Hong Chengluo came back, I heard Ah Jin's cry, and at this time, three more officials suddenly came, holding a lock in their hands, this is to take someone? But when they entered his house, they never came out again. ”

The old woman smacked her mouth: "After a short while, a carriage stopped at the door of Hong's house, and the people who came down wore satin and looked like merchants, and they also entered the small courtyard of the Hong family." After more than half an hour, the Hong couple got into the carriage and left. I asked Hong Chengluo where he was going, but he still wouldn't say. ”

"Oh, I just think it's strange, why don't those three officials come out? Later, I pushed the door open and looked in, and a leg was sticking out of the kitchen floor. I felt something was wrong and reported it to the official. ”

"So you're the first to be there?"

"Well, sort of."

He Lingchuan smiled: "Since you were the first to come in first, then the pots and pans in the kitchen were all taken by you, right?" ”

Where is the old woman willing to admit: "I am not, I am not!" ”

Mao Tao patted her on the shoulder, startling her: "Hey, old woman, we need the Hong family's things as physical evidence." If you dare to hide, you will cover up, and if you are guilty of complicity, you will have at least two fingers cut off! After speaking, he pressed her fingers, and there was a "stuck" sound in her mouth, which frightened the old woman all over.

He Lingchuan didn't bother to laugh, but this kind of nonsense was especially good at scaring the old women in the township. The old woman is no longer cunning: "That, that's in my house." ”

The four of them followed her home.

This old woman lives diagonally across the door from Hong Chengluo, and there is only one old man in the house, and she has not returned yet.

As soon as He Lingchuan stepped into her door, he smelled a greasy smell of stale dirt, and then saw that her house and yard were full of countless miscellaneous items.

Everywhere there are bottles and cans, rotten wood, long hemp rope and broken pockets...... He also thought he was in the garbage dump.

Has this old woman never lost anything in her life?

She led the four into the house and searched for them.

The Hong family's pots and pans are really here with her.

There are many other bits and pieces, and she said that they are all from the Hong family. Thinking of Ah Jin lying in bed and Hong Chengluo often going out, this old woman must be at his house.

For He Lingchuan, this is an unexpected joy.

He took a look, pointed to a comb in the miscellaneous items, and said, "This is Hong's wife Ah Jin?" Have you ever seen her use? ”

"Yes, yes." It was also the old woman's way.

"Have you used it yourself?"

"No, no." Most of the things she got back haven't started using yet.

He Lingchuan picked up the wooden comb and shone it into the light: "Then the hair wrapped around it is either Hong Chengluo or Ah Jin?" ”

"So, it should be, right?"

He Lingchuan then put ten copper coins on the table: "What else should I know?" ”

The old woman really thought about it seriously before shaking her head: "No." ”

The men walked away.

He Lingchuan sent Shan Youjun to the forest farm north of Bailu Town.

There are indeed many traces of people and horses there, and even the horse manure is very fresh, but it has been emptied. Obviously, Hong Chengluo succeeded in one blow and led the team away, not catching chickens for them.

After they left, it was more than two quarters of an hour before someone snuck into the alley, saw that there was no one left and right, and jumped over the wall into the old woman's courtyard.

The old woman was turning firewood in the yard to cook rice, when suddenly the back of her neck was pinched, and a low voice came from her ear: "What did those people ask just now?" ”

"Ah...... "Why are there still people coming?" The old woman was frightened, "They, they are from the state capital, and they want to ask about yesterday's situation......"

Before she finished speaking, there was a muffled sound behind her, and the hands that pinched the back of her neck were loosened.

When she turned around, she saw a man lying on the ground, and behind her stood a grinning Mao Tao.

"Sure enough, there is still eyeliner in the town." Da Shao was really clever, so he secretly turned back halfway and waited for the rabbit, and sure enough, he was pleasantly surprised to come to the door.

Mao Tao pointed to the man on the ground and asked the old woman, "Is this person from the town?" ”

She was shocked and shook her head vigorously: "I haven't seen it, I haven't seen it!" ”

Next, Mao Tao carried the person back to Hong Chengluo's empty house and stuffed a towel into his mouth.

When the captive was woken up by a scoop of water, the first thing he saw was Shan Youjun clenching his fists and smiling towards him......

￥￥￥￥￥

In less than two quarters of an hour, the courtyard door of Hong Chengluo's house opened without warning.

The old woman outside the door stumbled again and almost fell in. Mao Tao helped her again.

This old woman is too obsessed with picking up the cracks in the door.

"Ahh......h At first, there was a faint movement in the door, like someone was being called with their mouth and nose covered, and then it was quiet, and she couldn't hear it with her sharpened ears.

Mao Tao didn't care: "Old woman, do you know the mine pit in the northwest?" The one that has been discarded. ”

"The pit?" The old woman's eyes rolled, "Seems to have heard of it?" ”

Mao Tao spread his hands, and there were ten copper plates in his palms: "I just saved your life, do you remember?" ”

The old woman laughed twice: "There is only a small pit in the northwest, and it didn't come out of the mine ten years ago. Are you going? ”

"I have this idea."

The old woman stared directly at the copper plate in his hand: "That place is hidden in the jungle and it is very difficult to find, if you pay some more money, how about I find you a guide?" ”

"Okay." Time is tight, Mao Tao didn't bargain, doesn't the boss have money?

"Then you wait." The old woman walked out with her legs in a circle, and the speed was not slow at all.

She came back after a few dozen breaths, and there was an old man beside her, less than sixty, thin and thin, but her waist was still straight.

"This is my old man, he has worked in the pit for two years, and he is familiar with the road!"

He Lingchuan invited the two of them into the door: "What was the old gentleman doing in the mine?" ”

"Do anything." Compared with his wife, the old man seems quite honest, answering all questions, "quarrying, mining, digging roads, supplementing, and placing explosives." ”

He Lingchuan was stunned: "You still use explosives?" ”

Fashionable. He had been to the mines of Chimatsu County, which were mined by manpower.

"Ah yes, it's less effortless. We've been doing things with gunpowder here for many years. "In other words, the old traditional arts." Until the pit was abandoned, there was still a lot of gunpowder that had not been used up. ”

Shan Youjun and the others couldn't help but scold in a low voice. Now they finally knew where the gunpowder that blew up the Dunyu grain team officer came from.

Of course, He Lingchuan also thought of it, his eyes flashed slightly, and he asked the old man: "Will there be any gunpowder left in your house?" ”

"No, no." The old man waved his hand again and again, "How can you do such a stupid thing?" If you blow up your home, it's not worth it. ”

"Uh......" The old woman next to her looked embarrassed, "The gunpowder you are talking about, could it be hidden in a black and white jar?" ”

After being married for decades, the old man understood with one expression, and exclaimed: "Don't tell me, you hid gunpowder at home!" I threw it away! ”

The old woman sneered: "It's a pity to throw it away." ”

He Lingchuan snapped his fingers, God helped me.

"Then please find it out and give it to me." He looked at a few people behind him, "We should say a word to Hong Chengluo, and the courtesy is still exchanged." ”
