"Speaking of Niu Er, someone should have come to him recently, right?" Song Che took the jade bracelet into his arms.

Fang Qi nodded heavily: "I've looked for it, it's still from the government!" But now is an extraordinary time, and the camp is only allowed to enter but not leave, so he stopped him back. ”

It seems that some things may not be settled with money.

"By the way, let me ask casually, where is the coastal defense in Hangzhou, the dock is so important, but the protection is so empty?" Song Che asked.

Fang Qi hesitated, "This ...... Coastal defense is a military priority, and it stands to reason that it should not be shared with my uncle, but my uncle is a good person, and there is nothing that cannot be said," he paused, and said:

"Hangzhou's coastal defense is stationed in three batches on Silla Island, Tianlong Island, and Huixing Island, with more than 12,000 garrisons."

Song Che frowned, "Hangzhou is the capital of Liangzhejiang Road, isn't it known as 50,000 sailors?" Why are there only more than 12,000 people? ”

"In fact, there are only more than 30,000 people, and now the coastal areas are full of Japanese invaders except for the two Zhejiang, especially in Fujian, Guangzhou, and Huainan, and the Japanese are rampant to loot the city, and the two Zhejiang naval divisions can only send troops to support," Fang Qi sighed: "It's not a secret, the two hundred or so people guarding the dock are almost all recruits like me, and the older ones are sent to coastal defense or support other places." ”

Song Che looked at the horizon, although he had an unobstructed view and a clear sky, there always seemed to be an impenetrable haze, and something was wrong.

After the Pearl Conference, you have to leave Hangzhou as soon as possible.

"Uncle, you are so smart, you should come to the army as a staff officer, and the brigadier general will be obedient to those widows." Fang Qi said.

Song Che smiled, "Song Moujie businessman, how can He De influence the battle situation, or do business honestly," Then, he pointed to the stone scale on the female corpse and said:

"This thing is a hundred catties, it must not be an ordinary stone shop can be made, bother the little brother Fang to work hard for a few days, help me find this seller in the city, don't ask if you find it, just tell me."

"Uncle's orders, Fang Qi should do his best to do it."

"Steady."

……

After separating from Fang Qi, Song Che found a restaurant, bought a roast chicken, two catties of sauced beef, and two white-flour steamed buns, carried them in a food box, and walked to the prison cell of Lin'an Mansion.

I hope the He father and daughter are still alive.

Visiting a prison does not require too many formalities, as long as there is money.

"Stop! What the hell! "The jailers intersected and blocked the way.

Song Che lifted the food box with his left hand, held a silver ingot in his right hand, and smiled without saying a word.

The jailer immediately understood, quickly grabbed the broken silver and put it into his arms, and asked, "Who are you visiting?" ”

Song Che said: "The father and daughter who were caught by you a few days ago, that woman is the cousin of my eldest brother's third aunt's mother-in-law and younger brother. ”

The jailer raised his eyebrows, "You...... It's quite affectionate, they've been locked up for a few days, and the only one who came to visit was a relative who couldn't be beaten...... Come with me. ”

The jailer led the way, and Song Che followed behind, and asked, "What crime are they convicted of?" ”

The jailer said: "I haven't tried it, what crime is the verdict?" In my opinion, most of your two poor relatives have offended people, otherwise where would they have been locked up for so long? ”

Song Che frowned and asked, "Have they been treated inhumanely in prison?" ”

"Then I don't know, his father and daughter were detained in the women's prison, but since they offended people, there must be no good fruit to eat, and there are many people who died unjustly in the prison."

The jailer took Song Che for a ride, and then handed over to a female pawn who was five big and three thick, and Song Che made some broken silver as usual, and the female pawn took him into the women's prison.

The women's prison is much more empty than the men's prison, but it is also much more gloomy.

"They're here, and they're only allowed to spend a quarter of an hour, and they're not allowed to take off their pants, understand?" Xu was the reason for receiving the money, but the female prisoner was also happy, and opened the prison door with a word of advice.

The cell was dark, only a small skylight gave some light, He Xianglian shrank in the corner of the cell, staring blankly at the comer, her father lying on his back on the hay bed, mouth wide open, lingering for breath, it had only been seven days since they were captured, and the person had almost lost weight.

"Miss He." Song Che called lightly, and just took a step forward, but He Xianglian trembled with fright, and she said straight in her mouth: "Don't come here, I don't know anything, I don't know anything......"

Song Che moved under the skylight, so that He Xianglian could see his appearance clearly by the light, and his voice was much softer: "Don't be surprised, Miss He, do you remember me?" By the West Lake, Cuiyun Restaurant. ”

He Xianglian thought for a long time before she slowly let go of her fear, "Are you ......?"

Song Che put down the food box and took out a few items of food he brought, "The world is big, and the meal is the biggest, so let's talk about it when I'm full." ”

Xu was so hungry that he couldn't do it, He Xianglian pounced on her hands and feet, just grabbed the roast chicken and wanted to stuff it into her mouth, but she thought of her dying father, picked up the teapot and turned back to the bedside,

Song Che helped his father up, fed him some tea, tore the steamed bun into pieces, and slowly put it into his mouth.

Seeing that Song Che was so worried, "Don't they even give you food in prison?" ”

He Xianglian shook her head, "A bowl of porridge every day, there are more soup and less rice grains, and my father's mouth is closed when he is hungry and faint, just to let me eat ......"

She was nibbling on steamed buns with tears in her eyes.

Song Che took out the jade jade bracelet from his arms and handed it to He Xianglian, "Do you recognize this bracelet?" ”

"This is my mother's!" He Xianglian held the jade bracelet and exclaimed, "Childe, you ...... Looking for my mother? ”

Song Che nodded, but did not tell He Xianglian about the death of her mother, lest she be overly sad, "Niu Er has been taken into custody, and now I am collecting evidence, but I have encountered some problems, one of which is the 'big pearl',"

He asked again, "Did Ling Mu really pick a big pearl?" ”

He Xianglian sobbed and nodded, "Yes, it's the size of an egg...... I regret that I shouldn't have asked for this bead in the first place, and it would ruin our family! ”

"That bead was snatched away by Niu Er?" Song Che asked again.

He Xianglian shook her head, "Niu Er tried to buy the big pearl at a low price five times, but my mother refused to sell it, so he made a black hand." After killing my mother, Niu Er led people to smash our house, but in fact, he was searching for the big pearl. ”

"If Miss He can be trusted, can you tell me where the big pearl is hidden? The beads are the evidence and the key to your justice. Song Che asked sincerely.

He Xianglian said without hesitation: "My father and I knew that the beads were valuable, so we buried them in Chunlai Lane in the west of the city, under the willow tree in the courtyard of the house, and pressed it with a stone pier."

She held Song Che's hand again and cried and begged: "After we were imprisoned, the Zhou family did not let us go, and every once in a while they found someone to come to the cell and beat us on the grounds of visiting the prison...... Childe, we can't stand it anymore, please help me get out of this place, my father...... I really can't stand it. ”

"Da Da Da!"

The maid knocked on the cell door with a stick and said coldly: "A quarter of an hour has arrived." ”
