At dusk, the lively scene in Hangzhou has not subsided much.

The main streets are still full of pedestrians, and shops are always visited by customers. Especially those restaurants and inns, they are even more busy with a few guys.

Under the arrangement of the shopkeeper, a few guys have begun to clean the shop and prepare to install the door panels, and they are closed. At night, their business is naturally gone, and the next thing is to close the door and take stock and make a summary.

Zhong Bai, the big shopkeeper of Tongguang Yinhao, personally made a pot of hot tea for himself, and after taking out the account books on today's business one by one, and putting them on the long case in front of him, he said to a few guys who were still busy sprinkling and sweeping: "You should go back early today." ”

A few guys stopped what they were doing with some surprise and asked in a low voice, "Shopkeeper, what about the store?" Do you want us to help close it? ”

"No, just leave it on, I'll close it later. Go ahead. Zhong Bai smiled and said, then poured himself a cup of fragrant tea, and was not busy tasting it, but first brought it to his nose and sniffed the fragrance of tea.

Seeing that the shopkeeper had decided like this, several people couldn't insist anymore, so after agreeing, they hastily swept the ground again, and then left with full doubts.

In the past, they had to work until they entered the shift before letting them go back, that is, they had to accompany the shopkeeper until he had done everything, and trivial tasks such as closing the door and checking them would naturally be handed over to them.

But today it has become an exception, but even if they are curious, they don't dare to ask more, after all, the identity gap is there, and they don't even dare to sneak around to see what is going on.

And if they had the courage to stay a little longer, they would have seen with their own eyes the astonishing sight of a group of government soldiers and soldiers coming in after a meal, surrounded on all sides by a large number of soldiers and soldiers.

The mere mobilization of hundreds of people to block off the entire courtyard and the small half of the street where the shop was located was enough to make all the surrounding pedestrians and merchants in the shops feel terrified, and after seeing some high places with crossbowmen stretching their bows and arrows and aiming at the Tongguang Yin, everyone was even more shocked and hurriedly ran away, or entered the house and closed the door.

In just a short time of tea, there were no more idlers and miscellaneous people on the entire street where the Tongguang Silver was located, and only a few hundred officers and soldiers with swords and guns unsheathed and bows and crossbows were left.

At this moment, Sun Ningcai and Liang Wentong stepped into the open door of the store, and saw at a glance the middle-aged man sitting behind the desk with his back against the wall.

This man looked only in his early forties, his fair face looked a little elegant, and his expression was even more focused and relaxed, and he was pouring the green tea in the pot into the matching white porcelain cup.

So many people suddenly broke in, but he didn't have the slightest surprise, he didn't even shake his hands, he still poured a full cup slowly, picked up the teacup again, sniffed it lightly, and enjoyed it.

Just when an accompanying catcher coughed and was about to step forward to scold, the other party suddenly raised his head and said with a smile: "Coming?" ”

"You are the shopkeeper of Tongguang Yinhao, Zhong Bai, one of the Qian family's stewards?" Although Wang Lie, the head catcher, felt that this behavior was really strange, he still asked in a rough voice according to his habit.

"It's right here, you're really not slow to come." Zhong Bai is still that relaxed and comfortable appearance.

Sun Ning raised his eyebrows: "You know that you have committed something, you have been waiting for the government to come and get you!" ”

"Huh...... After all, some things can't be wrapped in paper, after all, Zhuang Beihai is not our person, once it is found, Miki will naturally explain everything. ”

He told the truth very easily, but it made everyone feel unfathomable and profound, and they didn't dare to step forward at will.

Sun Ning even exchanged a look with Liang Wentong, and then took a step forward: "Since you know that you have committed a big case, then obediently follow us to the yamen to reply, and you can save the pain of the flesh and skin!" ”

Zhong Bai didn't move, only took a sip of the green tea, and closed his eyes to feel it: "It's really good tea, it's a pity, it's a pity...... You are the Sun Changan who helped the local Wu family to wipe out the Su family when he was in Suzhou, right? ”

He suddenly threw out this question, which really made Sun Ning stunned, but it immediately convinced him that there was an inevitable connection between these things.

In an instant, Sun Ning's whole person became energetic: "Sure enough, Suzhou and Hangzhou, including everything we encountered in the middle of the road before, are all conspired and calculated by you people behind the scenes!" ”

"What a daring!" Liang Wentong's reaction was greater than Sun Ning's, and he immediately sank his face, and then he couldn't hold it back, so he rushed forward with an arrow step, reaching out to grab the other party's hand.

Zhong Bai didn't make any evasions, just drank the tea in the cup in another sip, and then let him pull himself up, but looked at the many servants in front of him with a disdainful look: "You guys came too late, everything is irretrievable......"

"What......" someone asked suspiciously, but Sun Ning suddenly woke up at this moment and shouted, "Not good! The tea he drank was poisonous! ”

And as he said this, everyone was surprised to find that there was really a wisp of black blood spilling out of the corner of Zhong Bai's mouth, which made everyone's expression become more and more nervous.

It was himself, but at this time, he laughed proudly, and let more black blood continue to come out: "Hahahaha...... I know what you guys want to do. It's just to find out who is behind it from my mouth, and maybe torture me......

"But what if I become a corpse? Can you still make the corpse speak?

"Sun Changan, you were able to succeed repeatedly before because those people were afraid of death, so you were able to find out about me. But I'm not afraid, everything will end with me, even if you want to find out the Qian family from me, there is no evidence.

"It's already too late——!"

Speaking of this, he spit out a mouthful of black blood again, and before Liang Wentong reached into his chest and wanted to help him induce vomiting, his body was completely frozen, and then he fell on his back.

Until he died, he still had a contemptuous and smug smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he felt that winning this with his life was also a victory!

"We were too late." Seeing this, Sun Ning also sighed in annoyance.

After all, they are in the light, and they are in the dark, so when Zhuang Beihai is taken, it means that the news is leaked, so that Zhong Bai has time to deal with it.

It's just that what I didn't expect was that he was different from others, others were thinking of escaping, but he was directly bent on death!

In this way, the clue is broken again.

And what is even more troublesome is that Zhong Bai is behind the Qian family, even if the government wants to investigate the other party aside, the death of an important person in charge of his family alone is enough to provoke contradictions between the two sides.

This can't be called a coincidence anymore, it's clear that Sun Ning and the Jiangnan Hao clan are the opponents of fate!
