"What has happened to the Ma family recently, or is something big about to happen?" Song Che asked.

"Really.

Ning Yehong said: "Ma Jiade's respected old lady Ma Qu will celebrate her seventieth birthday at the end of the month, and the slightly powerful people in Taizhou City have received birthday postes, including me." ”

It is rare for a person who has done all the bad deeds to live to be seventy years old and not be punished by heaven.

"Hey, how is the wine at your Tianxiang Inn?" Song Che asked suddenly.

"The Chu family was originally a bad factory, firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea and wine, everything, and recently mastered a process called 'distillation', the wine brewed is strong and mellow, and the wine, grain and oil of Tianxiang Inn are all from Chuzhou, which is very popular with diners."

Ning Yehong was curious: "What are you going to do?"

"You go and find a way to contract all the drinks for the Ma family's birthday banquet first, remember, you have to tell the people of the Ma family that half of your wine is sold and half given, the half of the wine is used as a congratulatory gift, and the half sold is regarded as business, so as to offset the suspicion of the Ma family;"

Song Che paused, and then said: "After the Ma family agrees to purchase wine, they will go to find a 'sweat medicine', the effect of this sweat medicine cannot be too direct, it must be drunk after people drink it, and they will be as confused as drunk within half an hour." ”

"Are you trying to ......?"

Ning Yehong suddenly realized, knowing that she couldn't say much, she only said: "Don't worry, everything is on me." ”

"There's another very important thing that I have to ask you to investigate."

Song Che carefully talked to Ning Yehong about the tragedy of destroying the door that he encountered in the bamboo forest yesterday, and then concluded:

"The two biggest doubts in this case, first, why did you pretend to be a widow to kill people, and second, where did the golden sands come from-

The gold diggers came from overseas, but in recent times, the coastline has been blocked, and how did they bring it back to Jinsha? This matter needs to be carefully investigated. ”

Ning Yehong thought for a moment, but said: "If you want to talk about the tragedy of destroying the door, this seems to be not the first case, just some time ago, in Hongtou Village, twenty miles west of Taizhou City, there was a family of seven people who were killed by the Japanese Kou, and the matter caused a lot of trouble. ”

Now the widows on the mainland are thinking about how to escape back to the sea, and how can they wipe out an inconspicuous farmer? There is clearly a conspiracy in this.

"If there is a common reason behind the two murders, then I think it is likely that there will be a third or fourth, so we had better hurry up and figure things out before the murderer commits the crime."

"I'll go back and make arrangements."

Ning Yehong wanted to withdraw, but Song Che's hand on his waist did not let go:

"It's not a bad night."

He bowed his head to kiss the beautiful woman.

The beauty tilted her head and lowered her eyes, and said softly: "Song Che, we are still good friends, although the wind and snow are moving, the love of children is long...... Most hurtful. ”

Song Che was silent for a moment, and asked seriously: "Do you think that we are all so close, can we still be friends tacitly?"

Ning Yehong bit her lip, "I'm not ready yet, at least not yet, ...... yet"

Song Che slowly let go of his hand, leaving regret and tenderness.

Ning Yehong wrapped up her clothes and jumped out of her arms, and when she walked to the door, she left a guilty look and silently disappeared into the night.

Song Che let out a long sigh.

Falling in love with an ill-fated woman is destined to be bound by her fate, is it worth it?

……

Next.

The price of salt really dropped to 200 wen.

Not only that, the Ma family sent someone to send three thousand taels of silver early in the morning, hoping that Jiang Yuntian could put down the hanging corpse at the city gate.

I heard that Ma Jiu had only hung up on the city gate for a long time, and his body was full of rotten eggs and feces, which showed the deep hatred of the people in the city.

Before Jiang Yuntian could refuse, Lord Feng of the state government boarded the barracks, and with a tactful tone, begged for the matter to be stopped.

"Lord Feng, you were born as a parent official in Taizhou, and you came to intercede for the landlord and the bully, and you didn't receive less money from the Ma family, right?"

"General Jiang can't say that, I, Feng Yuan, have been honest all my life, never cheated for personal gain, and thought about the safety of Taizhou!"

Feng Yuan is nearly sixty years old, he was born oily, white and fat, at his age, there is no hope of promotion, thinking about how to protect himself wisely and be stable.

In terms of official qualities alone, Jiang Yuntian is still a little shorter than Feng Yuan, he should really give face when he first arrives, and Ma Taigong's birthday is imminent, if he is unlucky because of Ma Jiu's matter, he will not hold a birthday banquet, but it will affect the next plan.

As for the three thousand taels of silver, in Song Che's opinion, it can be accepted, after all, the things sent should not be in vain, but Jiang Yuntian felt that the silver was stained with human blood, and he disdained to ask for it, so he returned it all.

In the next few days, military training and recruitment will be carried out at the same time.

The people of ten miles and eight towns all know that there is a Shenwei general in Taizhou City, who cut Ma Jiuye on the street. Xu was oppressed by the Japanese and Ma families for too long, and as soon as the recruitment notice was posted, countless good young people enthusiastically signed up.

In just three days, more than 400 recruits joined the army, General Jiang was brave and martial, Aunt Song was easy-going, one sang with a red face, the other with a white face, one as a "strict father", and the other as a "loving mother".

About the big things –

The soldiers and horses of Huainan and Zhejiang have converged in Tongzhou, and all important ports along the coastline have been stationed with troops, and the people's enthusiasm for resisting the Japanese is high, and they spontaneously organize the militia to cooperate with the government to carry out a carpet sweep of the Japanese pirates flowing on the mainland;

The coastline was kept, a large number of displaced people were able to return home, the pressure on the states was reduced, the finances gradually recovered, and everything was moving in a good direction.

……

"Coco, haven't you gotten up yet?"

Early one morning, Song Che woke up from his dream.

If it was in the past, the charcoal fire would never have been broken, and the hot water had already been boiled, and the big tent was deserted this morning.

Coco's small tent was tied next to Song Che, and she was usually on call, she was not a girl who could lie in bed.

Are you sick?

"Coco?"

Song Che tried to call again.

Still no one agreed.

Something is wrong.

Just as he got out of bed, the tent door was pushed open, and it was the guards outside the tent who entered.

"What do you command?"

"Where's Coco?"

"Miss Coco went out early in the morning."

"It's out!"

Song Che was shocked in his heart, although the Ma family had reined in a lot, they would never give up, and even he didn't dare to leave the camp easily.

"Do you know where she went? How long does it take? Song Che asked eagerly.

The guard shook his head, "Look at her face doesn't seem right, I didn't tell her when I asked, I only said that I would go out once, about half an hour ago." ”

"This girl...... Hurry up and inform General Jiang! ”

Song Che hurriedly dressed and put on his shoes, ran outside the barracks, and when he arrived at the gate of the barracks, he asked the guards who guarded the door, but Coco was indeed out of the camp.

Jiang Yuntian also rushed over when he heard the news, and pointed to the doorman and scolded: "You idiots, when you see the little girl going out alone, you don't know how to accompany you!" ”

The doorman was aggrieved: "General...... The coco girl said, "If you go, you will come back, and you will not be allowed to follow." ”

"Okay, the top priority is to get the person back quickly, and the guard said that Coco's face is not good, and if she is really sick, she will probably go to the pharmacy."

Taizhou City is full of Ma family eyeliner, a little girl and a half years old, if she is really targeted, how can she get it?

"Quickly order 500 soldiers, call the local soldiers to lead the way, and focus on searching the pharmacy and medical hall...... Fast! ”
