After sitting in the county government office all afternoon, Lin Jinxiao gradually felt uneasy as he watched the people under his command come back one after another.
Chu Nanzhi went to the south of the city to investigate the abandoned salt well. He probably guessed that this woman should have some important clues. The person who monitored Chen Wu last night found that this guy went to Kang Mingtang's house, so he already guessed that there would be someone
It was not good for her, so he sent all the available government servants there, and they just happened to catch all the people in Kang Mingtang.
At present, both groups of killers in Kang Mingtang have been captured, but the hidden group has not yet appeared.
Now that Kang Mingtang has been arrested, this group of people is at the end of their rope and may be like vicious dogs that bite anyone they see.
He was a bit annoyed that he, a woman, had taken it upon herself to let the people sent out come back one after another.
Although he was still angry about what happened last night, he felt restless whenever he thought about the dangers he might encounter.
Regardless of whether she has herself in her heart or not, it is an indisputable fact that she is the mother of four children, and she cannot make any mistakes whatsoever.
Thinking of this, Lin Jinxiao stood up slowly and shouted outside the government office. Not long after, he saw Guan Erbai hurried in.
Lin Jinxiao asked after careful consideration: "Li Sanlang hasn't come back from Qinyuan Village yet?"
Guan Erbai shook his head and said hesitantly: "How about sending someone to check it out?"
"Need not."
It seems that Chen Wu noticed something and ran away. Lin Jinxiao was suspicious in his heart.
It was so good that he looked at Guan Erbai with his eyebrows stretched: "How many people have returned from the county government?"
Guan Erbai thought for a while: "Only the people under my sister-in-law have returned. There are thirty or forty people who can be used."
"That's enough."
Lin Jinxiao called Guan Erbai to him and whispered: "I have to go out for a while. You can change all the brothers under you into their plain clothes and disperse them into the city. Then ask someone to recall the brothers who are being hunted in the west of the city.
, don’t let anyone notice.”
"good."
Guan Erbai understood and immediately went out to prepare things.
After Lin Jinxiao finished explaining, he had already guessed that the incident in Kang Mingtang must have been exposed, and Chen Wu was alert.
I'm just afraid that the person sent to monitor him has been killed.
At present, the hidden forces in the city are not yet clear. Chen Wu is out of his surveillance. It is hard to say whether he will send a message for someone else.
It seems it's time to close the net.
Two days of individual interrogation of the officers and review of all the case files were enough to deduce the outcome he wanted.
Thoughtfully, he walked slowly to the back hall with his crutches, and saw Sibaolin Ruijia wiping her eyes sleepily, and Liu Shuyang still sleeping innocently.
Lin Jinxiao picked up a crutch and knocked on his son-in-law. The son-in-law woke up immediately, touched the saliva flowing from the corner of his mouth, looked at Lin Jinxiao with a look of fear, and asked blankly: "Brother-in-law, what happened?
"
Lin Jinxiao looked at his useless look and sighed helplessly: "You take Si Bao to Mr. Hu's place for dinner, and I will pick up your eldest sister."
"you?"
Liu Shuyang couldn't believe it: "Brother-in-law, eldest sister can come back by herself, you still can"
"Don't talk too much."
Lin Jinxiao said with a solemn expression.
Today's Chu Nanzhi's return is already a critical moment to reverse the case. He cannot let her bear this risk alone. If he wants to completely draw out the hidden forces behind it, he must throw out the biggest bait in the city.
Strolling up to Si Bao, he sat down next to the little guy and warned in a gentle voice: "Si Bao, if it's too late and my father and mother haven't come back yet, you should go back to the posthouse with Mr. Hu and let your uncle take you to rest.
"
"Dad, uncle and I are not going anywhere, we are just waiting here for you to come back."
Si Bao held his big hand. Although he was a little worried in his heart, he did not dare to cause any more trouble.
"Good boy."
Lin Jinxiao touched the little guy's chin happily, stood up calmly, took out his sword, threw away his crutches, and walked towards the county government office step by step with light steps.
When Tan Miao saw that he was about to go out, he immediately greeted him happily: "Where are you going, Mr. Lin? I see that all the sergeants from Luyan Port have gone out, so let me accompany you."
Lin Jinxiao turned his head and smiled: "That's fine."
Tan Miao found that he was only carrying the sword but without the crutches. He asked worriedly: "Master Lin, what's this leg?"
"It's nothing serious, it's just for outsiders to see."
Lin Jinxiao deliberately stepped more steadily. Tan Miao couldn't help frowning as he looked at it, and he couldn't figure out whether this guy was in trouble or not.
Tan Miao looked at him with a smile and said: "The humble duty is to ask some people to protect the safety of the Lord. The city is in chaos right now. There may be many people who want to murder the Lord."
"No."
Lin Jinxiao replied calmly: "Li Sanlang has not returned since he went to arrest Chen Wu. I was worried that the guy would escape, so I asked Guan Erbai to take people out of the city to arrest him. There are not many people in the county government at the moment, so I just brought him
Just go with the four guards who come to the door."
"I see."
Tan Miao nodded in sudden realization. No wonder he just saw Guan Erbai with a mysterious face and hurried out.
Looking at Lin Jinxiao's calm and calm posture, Tan Miao said very worriedly: "Although Kang Mingyuan is in prison now, I'm afraid there are still many minions behind him, and I don't know how many hidden forces there are.
, I’m afraid they will take the opportunity to harm Mr. Lin. The original Yamen servants in the government office have a few confidants, so it’s better to take them with them to ensure the safety of Mr. Lin.”
"Master Tan is quite concerned about my safety."
Lin Jinxiao couldn't help but sneer.
"That is, if your Excellency is murdered in this county, even though your humble position may mean that your official position is low, you still have an unshirkable responsibility."
Tan Miao replied with a sincere face.
"I appreciate Mr. Tan's kindness."
Lin Jinxiao waved to several Luyan Port government officials at the door: "Go to the south gate."
Several government officials were responsible for monitoring Tan Miao. After hearing Lin Jinxiao's words, they immediately went to bring the horses over and helped them get on the horses.
It was in the evening, and a group of people were walking slowly on the cold streets. The afterglow of the setting sun fell on the river in the city, reflecting a golden brilliance. It set off against the scattered pedestrians everywhere, making this scene
The already depressed Haikang County seems even more lonely.
"The county town is a bit eerily quiet today."
Lin Jinxiao sighed secretly in his heart, and couldn't help but tighten the reins of the horse. He held the sword in his hand and shouted at the horse that sat down. He speeded up slightly. The crisp sound of horse hooves broke the tranquility of the street and drifted slowly towards the south of the city.
Lin Jinxiao's eyes were always looking around uncertainly, and he was cautious.
Soon after, entering the more prosperous south of the city, he suddenly reined in the horse and let the horse gradually slow down.
They arrived at the gate to the south of the city without noticing anything unusual. The two stopped their horses. Tan Miao breathed a sigh of relief, looked sideways at Lin Jinxiao with a complicated expression, and asked cautiously: "Sir, are you going to leave the city?
"
"Need not."
Lin Jinxiao looked at the familiar carriage that came into view in the distance. The worry in his eyes immediately faded a bit, and a look of joy appeared on his face.
Tan Miao looked at it and couldn't help but be surprised: "That seems to be Madam Chu's carriage."
As soon as he finished speaking, several strong men suddenly rushed out of the surging crowd and swarmed over.
The group of strong men came over unscrupulously and quickly pulled up the veil in front of them to cover their faces. Tan Miao was so frightened that he immediately hit his horse and hid at the city wall.
Lin Jinxiao's deep eyes squinted at the strong man who came over, he dismounted unhurriedly, drew out his cold sword and swung it at the two oncoming men.
Two rays of cold light flashed through, and the swords in their hands suddenly broke into two pieces.
The two of them were in shock when they saw a sharp blade passing by in front of their eyes without any hesitation. They fell to the ground before they could make a sound, and their heads hit the bluestone floor with a dull sound.
Lin Jinxiao raised his sword and turned a blind eye as he continued to move closer to the carriage. Behind him, a group of black plainclothes people gathered from all directions and fought with the masked strong men. For a while, the sound of swords and guns clashing was endless and resounded throughout the south of the city.
