The encirclement and suppression of Tongfan Yamen went much more smoothly than Lin Haoming imagined. Jia Kai was so busy that by nightfall, he had searched all the places.
The two inspectors were very honest and stayed by Gao Lan's side. Although they didn't say much, they both said that they knew nothing about what Jiang Xing was doing.
Lin Haoming felt that they did know very little about what Jiang Xing was doing, and if they had something up their sleeves, they wouldn't be so helpless.
When everyone came back from Tongpan Mansion, they got the news that Jiang Xingqian had already absconded. Although Gong Lihai broke into Jiang Xingqian's mansion and found a secret room in his mansion, as well as several people who were found missing not long ago. The body of the pregnant woman was found, but Jiang Xingqian was nowhere to be seen.
When they learned about this, both Lin Haoming and Jia Kai showed surprise. Apparently, neither of them could figure out why Jiang Xingqian disappeared like this.
Immediately afterwards, news came from Hou Li's side that Jiangjiazhai had also been emptied of people, leaving only an empty shell.
This news surprised Lin Haoming even more than the previous incident in the Jiang Mansion. After all, Jiang Xingqian was not in the city, only in Jiangjiazhai, but now there was no one there, which was really beyond everyone's expectations.
"Brother Lin, what do you think is going on?" Jia Kai was equally shocked and came over to ask.
"I don't know. Let's go to other people's meetings first and find out more information.
When Lin Haoming and others returned to the City Lord's Mansion, Gong Lihai and others had also returned, but compared to Lin Haoming and others, their faces were not very good.
"Do you have any clues about the guard and Fu Lingwu?" Gong Lihai asked first before Lin Haoming and others asked about their situation.
"No, according to the experience of lower officials, the possibility of two people not knowing about it is very high!" Jia Kaidao said.
"Judgments without evidence will not count and will be directly tortured!" Gong Lihai said.
"The two supervisors are also heavenly officials. It is against the rules to torture them directly!" Jia Kaidao said.
"The matter is urgent and I can't take care of that much. If something happens, I will be responsible!" Gong Lihai said very responsibly.
"Lord City Lord, the magistrate of Maoyu County is the son of Jiang Xingqian. Do you think Jiang Xingqian will go to him?" Shen Yuan asked.
Just when he asked this question, suddenly, a flying eagle came galloping and circled and stopped in front of Gong Lihai.
This flying eagle was used by the military to send messages over short distances. Gong Lihai immediately took off the jade slip tied to the flying eagle's ankle and started reading.
Not long after, he handed his jade slip to others and said: "General Hou has interrogated the people left behind by the Jiang family. More than a hundred years ago, the Jiang family began to run its business in Maoyu County with all its strength. Most of the Jiang family members, Over the past hundred years, Jiangjiazhai has long been an empty shell as it has continued to move there!"
"Ah! There is such a thing!" Shen Yuan exclaimed in surprise.
"It seems likely that Jiang Xingqian is hiding in Maoyu County. Even if he is not hiding there, there must be many problems there," Qiu Sandao said.
"In this case, Maoyu County is probably the home base of the Jiang family. It is imperative to attack Maoyu County. I will immediately suspend the letter and ask General Hou to organize the army outside the city. Chief Shang, you will also dispatch two battalions of city guards. Let's set off together, Qiu Tongzhi, you will set off with me tomorrow, Gao Tongzhi, the affairs in the city will be under your jurisdiction for the time being, Chief Jia, you should step up your questioning of the captured border guards, Fu Lingwu and others. If they don't have problems, others must also have problems. Be sure to Asking for some useful information, Inspector Lin, this matter is of great importance. I hope that the Inspector can report to Tianman Mansion as soon as possible. He will also join me on the expedition tomorrow. The others will each perform their own duties and expedition to Maoyu County. There is no need to go together." Gong Lihai immediately ordered.
"Yes, Lord City Lord!" Faced with Gong Lihai's instructions, everyone agreed without hesitation.
"Go back and prepare today. We will set off from the north gate at three quarters tomorrow. Anyone who is late will be dealt with according to military law!" Gong Lihai looked at the crowd and said sternly.
"Yes!" Faced with Gong Lihai's order, everyone responded again.
"Okay, let's all disperse!" Gong Lihai finally waved his hand.
Lin Haoming left the City Lord's Mansion and walked with Jia Kai on the way.
At this time, Jia Kai's face was also a little solemn. After exiting the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, he couldn't help but ask: "Gong Lihai asked you to follow him, will there be any problem?"
"I don't know. For now, it's better to do your own thing first!" Lin Haoming responded in a low voice.
"Okay, but you have to be careful!" Jia Kai said.
"I understand!" Lin Haoming just agreed, and then headed towards his mansion.
Lin Haoming strode into the Governor's Office, but to everyone's surprise, he came out from the side again in the middle of the night.
Today's affairs were too passive, and Gong Lihai was almost alone leading the way. Now that he had one night, he planned to find out some things clearly before talking about them.
Jiang Xingqian's mansion is now surrounded by the city guards, and there are many people guarding it. It is almost impossible for outsiders to get in.
However, this is also relative. For a guard who is only in the Dao Fei Realm, with Lin Haoming's current cultivation level in the Divine Profound Realm, he restrained his aura and entered in a flash.
As a Tongpan, Jiang Xingqian's mansion was unparalleled in size in the city. After all, the Jiang family itself was a Dishangcheng family, so they did not live in the Tongpan Mansion.
Lin Haoming carefully avoided the patrolling city guards and approached his retreat in Jiang Xingqian's mansion.
Although I don't know the exact location, if I look for it in a heavily guarded place, I should be able to find something.
Not long after, some clues were discovered in a quiet courtyard.
In addition to being secluded, this courtyard is also equipped with a Yuan Gathering Array, making the surrounding world's energy much richer than other places.
There are more than a hundred people guarding here. Although there are no masters of Shenxuan Realm, it is unusual to have so many people stationed in this place.
After Lin Haoming sneaked into the courtyard, he found that half of the people here were guarding, and the rest were camping directly in the courtyard to rest without entering the only house in the courtyard. This was what made Lin Haoming feel very unusual.
Therefore, Lin Haoming sneaked into the house quietly. Although the outside was heavily guarded, there was no one inside. On the contrary, when he entered, he could see a secret passage leading below.
Lin Haoming entered the passage without much thought. The passage was not wide. If there were people in front and behind him at this moment, even Lin Haoming would not be able to escape. But fortunately, there was no one here. Lin Haoming went all the way down and soon reached the end of the passage.
At the end of the passage, there are three stone chambers. At this moment, the stone doors are all ajar. Lin Haoming walked to one of them, carefully pushed it open, and saw at a glance the chains embedded in the rock wall. He thought it was a place where something was imprisoned. If according to Gong Li According to Hai, it was a place where pregnant women were imprisoned, and there were some bloodstains on the ground which seemed to further prove this.
