In the prison, it is dark and gloomy, and even in broad daylight, when you enter here, you will be depressed because of the coldness inside.

The same torture room, the same people who are tied to the word "big".

The situation was critical, and Meng Jin, who urgently needed to find a breakthrough, felt like a heavy burden was pressed on his shoulders, which made him feel deeply helpless.

Seeing the bald head tied to the execution rack again, with a bald head that looked seven dissatisfied and eight unhappy, Meng Jin, who was in an unhappy mood, slapped it with a slap.

"Smack!" With a clear voice, the fake hood on the fake monk's head was knocked off, revealing the gray and black hair inside.

"Phew!"

His face immediately swelled with a blood-colored handprint, a fake monk, hehe smiled, and spat out a mouthful of bloody phlegm at Meng Jin's face.

But the next moment, a strong wind sounded, and the bloody phlegm returned to the mouth of the fake monk with a smile.

was pushed to the chin by Meng Jin again, making him swallow it in one gulp.

"Self-inflicted humiliation."

Meng Jin said coldly.

"Dog officer, you're done! If you arrest me, don't think about it, the person who killed you must already be on the way.

I advise you to let me go, otherwise your eater won't be left until tomorrow!" ”

The fake monk said angrily.

"Greet him."

Meng Jin was a little uninterested in facing the fake monk, and ordered Zhou Xun.

"Yes!"

That Master Li was still waiting in the county office, time was pressing, and Zhou Xun didn't talk nonsense, and took the most drastic means to greet the fake monk.

The fake monk was still stiff for a while, but before the torture instrument could reach the second piece, the iron-beaten strong man was already crying and begging for mercy.

"Squeak~"

Suddenly, in the corridor outside the torture room, the sound of the large iron door on the second floor being opened came in.

Then there was a sound of footsteps.

The fake monk, who was already crying bitterly and begging for mercy, suddenly stopped.

Meng Jin, Zhou Xun, Meng Yunbo and others also looked towards the iron door of the back torture room.

"Poof!"

Zhou Xun held the handle of the knife in his hand, and he had already pulled out a section, and the cold light flickered under the oil lamp.

Meng Yunbo clenched the revolver at his waist and stared at the door tightly.

Isn't there a militia guarding the outside? As soldiers, these militiamen from Wuzhou, who responded to the state's conscription order last year, were assigned and arranged here to maintain local law and order and cooperate with local officials.

Even now, before the normal operation of the police system, they still obeyed the orders of the commanders who were arranged with the First Route Army and the Second Route Army to the south in accordance with the wartime state and the orders of Lu Feihu, the commander of the militia of the Ministry of National Defense.

The militia battalion has no involvement with the locality, and it will hardly go out of the camp for weekday training, and the relationship in Chujiang Province is very pure, and the militia battalion in Xicheng County is obedient to Meng Jin, even those high-ranking officials in Chujiang Province are not instructed at all.

Now, without hearing the sound of a fight just now, someone came in, what was going on outside?

Could it be behind this?

The people in the torture room, including the fake monk who was tied to the execution rack with a blue nose and swollen face and covered in blood, also widened their swollen eyelids at this time, and stared at the door tightly with those eyes that had become blurred.

There was a lot of footsteps and it was messy, and it finally stopped at the door.

"Is Hui'an in there?"

A voice outside asked.

Meng Jin's spirit was shocked.

The voice is familiar!

"Lord Joe?"

Meng Jin stood up and walked towards the iron gate.

"It's me, open the door."

Qiao Minshan said.

Meng Jin and Meng Yunbo glanced at each other, and Meng Yunbo nodded.

Meng Jin walked to the door, opened the iron lock, and opened the iron door.

Outside the door, Qiao Minshan stood there, and the head of the militia regiment was also there.

No wonder the militia battalion outside did not block it.

Although he didn't know why Qiao Minshan came to the prison in person, when he saw the head of the militia regiment behind him, Meng Jin's heart was relieved, and he bowed to Qiao Minshan and said, "Lord Qiao." ”

"You and I don't have to be polite."

After Qiao Minshan came in, he stretched out his hand to help Meng Jin, and glanced at the fake monk on the execution rack.

"Although you and I have been working together for less than a year in Jinshan County, I know your character and ability in Hui'an.

The entire militia regiment in Jinshan County is responsible to me, and if you urgently used the militia last night, someone will naturally pass the news to Commander Zhang.

Early this morning, I sent someone to inquire about the mobilization of the militia battalion, and since you do not want to say it, it must be a matter of great importance.

But now this is not right, the soldiers and horses Chen Xun's people secretly entered the city, and now they are hidden outside the Xicheng prison.

These people are all ruthless characters on the rivers and lakes, and they are definitely not here to send you warmth outside the prison. ”

Qiao Minshan said straight to the point.

"Do they dare to kill officials?"

Meng Jin frowned.

If you kill an official, or as a middle-level official of the country, the impact will be extremely bad, and the court will inevitably strike hard.

"The killers don't know if they dare or not, but they dare to rob the prison.

Now that I'm here, they're going to have to rethink whether or not to do it. ”

Qiao Minshan took off his robe and sat on the official hat chair, looking at the fake monk hanging on the execution rack.

He said this not only because of his status, but also because of the guards around him.

As a deputy ministerial-level official, there are more than ten people in the security team from the Central Special Security Bureau alone, and these personnel are all elite, and under normal circumstances, they are far from being comparable to those people in the rivers and lakes.

Meng Jin's mind was racing, and in a short period of time, what had happened from last night to the present had already gone through it in his mind, and he bowed down and said, "My lord, this matter is very important, I didn't report it to you in time, and I ask your lord to punish you." ”

Now, this matter has put too much pressure on him, and he urgently needs a way to break the game.

With Head Zhang and Qiao Minshan coming over together, Meng Jin had almost canceled his suspicions about Qiao Minshan.

After all, Qiao Minshan is also from a big family, there is no shortage of money in the family, and he is already a deputy ministerial-level official at a young age, so he really has no motive to commit crimes. And at this time, coming to the Xicheng County Prison to find himself in person is not a way of competing for merit.

At this time, Qiao Minshan's arrival actually made him secretly relieved in his heart.

He can't bear it, this tall man carries it with him, and his pressure is much less.

"Tell me what the hell is going on."

Qiao Minshan saw that Meng Jin had changed his attitude, and finally talked to him about the case.

At that moment, Meng Jin briefly explained the focus of the case to Qiao Minshan.

"Firearms, green fruits······ What a big thing to break the sky! ”

Qiao Minshan frowned: "Have you reported to the capital?" ”

Meng Jin shook his head: "Send someone to send a secret letter to Lord Xijian of the Ministry of Political and Legal Affairs." ”

"MeSign? Why not send a telegram ······"

As soon as the words came out, Qiao Minshan smiled dumbly: "You, you, you, you're too cautious!" ”

There was one set of telegraph machines there, and one set of the governor of Chujiang Province, Chen Xiu. The reason why he doesn't use it is because he doesn't trust others and is too cautious.

"The more people who handle it, the greater the chance of a leak. However, I still didn't expect that the news would leak out in such a short time, and I thought that there would be at least one or two days of buffer period.

It's the lower officials who don't think about it. ”

Meng Jin also sighed.

"This is not a good thing, it has pierced this cancer in Chujiang Province in advance. Now we have taken the initiative to find out, if one day without our knowledge, this cancer will be broken, it will be a fatal thing for us!

Whether it's a leaked firearm, or something like Qingguo, which is ordered by the king, it's something that can set us on fire! ”

Qiao Minshan looked at the fake monk: "Today's plan, time is urgent, we can only fight with the people behind the scenes."

Ryan, you personally go on a trip and report this case to Lord Xijian of the Ministry of Political and Legal Affairs and Liu Qiangren of the Ministry of National Defense.

Commander Zhang, I would like to ask you to send two more militia battalions over to guard me in the prison! No one is allowed to enter or leave! ”

"Yes!"

Fu Ruian, a cronie who came in with Qiao Minshan, and Head Zhang hurriedly went out.

"Duan Ruilin!"

Qiao Minshan shouted.

On the ground, suddenly a man came out of the ground.

The ground beside this man turned into water, and with a slight jump, he jumped out.

A man in his thirties stood in the torture room: "My lord! ”

"You call Peng Fei, take a company of militiamen, and go to Jinyan Villa outside the city to arrest Chen Xun! It's a race against time, and it's going now! ”

Qiao Minshan ordered.

Duan Ruilin is his guard, and he is also his military adjutantant, with the functions and ability to assist him in investigating and handling cases, and belongs to the high-ranking official guards carefully cultivated by the Special Security Bureau.

"Yes!"

After Duan Ruilin responded with a fist, the whole person suddenly fell to the ground and disappeared, as if he had been eaten by the earth.

"This Chen Xun was originally a soldier leader.

I've been staring at him for a while.

stared at him before, or because he secretly kept private soldiers and diners in captivity, which was not allowed in the new dynasty.

As soon as these diners in Jinyan Villa moved today, the people who Duan Ruilin arranged to observe in secret had already discovered it.

That's why I judged you to be in danger. ”

Qiao Minshan explained to Meng Jin.

Then he looked at the fake monk: "Time is pressing, continue the trial." ”

After listening to the conversation just now, the fake monk at this time had no heart.

A brain revealed: "I was originally a thousand households in Xicheng, because of the crime escaped to Baoshan Temple to become a monk, after the change of dynasty, the former commander of the Soldiers and Horses Division, that is, Chen, looked for me." The car dealership was set up by Chen Xun.

Later, under his instructions, I recruited some thugs, established a hall, and carried out some robbery, kidnapping and other activities, but the bulk of the money was still traded in Qingshi San. Half of the money earned was left to build gangs, and the remaining ninety percent and half were handed over to Chen Xun. ”

As he spoke, Meng Yunbo quickly recorded it on paper.

"Who else is colluding with Chen Xun?"

Meng Jin asked.

"I really don't know this, Chen Xun doesn't see me much, and usually just sends the housekeeper in his house to convey orders to me.

He also never talks to me about anything other than a mission. ”

The fake monk said.

Next, Meng Jin knocked on the side and asked a few words, confirming that the fake monk should really not know.

Meng Yunbo picked up the paper, asked the fake monk to sign and draw it, and then was shackled and taken to a single cell in the cell.

At this time, there was a shouting sound from above.

Soon, a militia company commander came down and reported: "There is a green-robed officer from outside, claiming to be Li Yuhu of the Governor's Mansion, and wants to see Master Meng, so we stopped him at the door." ”

"Li Yuhu?"

Qiao Minshan looked at Meng Jin suspiciously.

"This morning, an adjutant from the Governor's Mansion came to the county government office and wanted to take away this monk and the people he arrested last night.

I made an excuse to come out, and I think this Master Li can't wait. ”

Meng Jin said.

"Yue Lang wants to steal the credit?"

Qiao Minshan asked suspiciously.

These old officials, now in order to keep the black yarn hat on their heads, have all been mobilized their enthusiasm, Governor Chen Xiu, during this time pulled the political envoy Wang Zonghe, and threw himself on the industrial economic zone of Jinshan County, just thinking that he could get a high score in the year-end assessment, so as not to be brushed down.

It is not surprising that these people smell cases that can increase their political performance, like cats that smell fishy, and they come to steal credit.

"Xia Guan thought that there might be something hidden in this."

Meng Jin said.

"How?"

Qiao Minshan asked.

Meng Jin said: "When this person learned that I had caught a fake monk, his expression was not normal, which made the lower officials suspicious. ”

Qiao Minshan frowned when he heard this: "If there is still Yue Lang standing behind them, this case will be in trouble." ”

Together with Meng Jin, he walked outside.

Not only is Yue Lang's official position higher, but he also has a 2,000-person bandit suppression force in his hands, and he is not a clay statue of a bodhisattva in Chujiang Province, but he has a lot of real power.

In addition to the prison gate, with Qiao Minshan here, Li Yuhu didn't dare to make a mistake, and was sent away by Qiao Minshan in a few words.

Li Yuhu left the Xicheng Prison and hurriedly walked towards the Governor's Mansion, which was not far away.

And a gaze followed him, and entered the majestic Governor's Palace.

Yue Lang, the governor of Chujiang Province, wore a loose round neck, looking like a fat man with a well-to-do life and pampering.

When Li Yuhu reported the matter to Yue Lang, he found that Du Du's face had not changed, as if he had already known all this.

"Got it, you go down, and you don't have to worry about the rest."

Yue Lang waved his hand carelessly.

Li Yuhu came in a hurry and left in a hurry.

Yue Lang took out a cigarette from the cigarette case, put it in his mouth, and the little fat girl next to him took out a lighter and lit it for him.

He took a hard puff, almost inhaling the entire cigarette into his lungs, and then slowly exhaled, "What's going on over there in the shadows?" ”

"Lord Shadow has returned, and the things have been handed over to Chen Xun."

The fat girl who lit a cigarette next to him said.

"Hmm."

Yue Lang nodded.

Somehow, he always had the feeling of being targeted.

This made his heart a little uneasy.

"Heh, the official has come over with strong winds and waves, so he won't capsize in such a small gutter."

Yue Lang felt that he should have thought too much: "Sacrificing a Chen Xun, this matter should be like this!" (End of chapter)
