The people fled in panic, and the strong men masked in coarse cloth and the black plainclothes who kept pouring out fought in a stalemate, and they were evenly matched.
Tan Miao looked at this chaotic scene and noticed Guan Erbai's figure in the shadow of swords and swords. He looked closely at this group of plainclothes people. Aren't they the same group of government officials at Luyan Port?
He couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart, and quickly dismounted and chased after Lin Jinxiao. He pretended to be aggrieved and surprised and shouted: "Master Lin, it's so hard to hide the humble position. The humble position has been worried all the way. I didn't expect that Master Lin had already made arrangements."
Lin Jinxiao ignored Tan Miao and walked straight towards the carriage entering the city.
Hearing the sound of fighting here, Chu Nanzhi immediately jumped out of the carriage and looked at the dashing and heroic figure coming towards him, but his heart became angry: This pretty boy is getting more and more outrageous, even the crutches
Throw it away.
Just as he was glaring angrily, Lin Jinxiao had already arrived.
He casually put away the Emperor's Sword, and calmly held the slender fingers in his palms, with a gentle look on his face: "It'll be good when you come back."
Chu Nanzhi suddenly pulled out his hand and said with some dissatisfaction: "Why did you run out again?"
Lin Jinxiao looked at the few remaining guards behind her, who were still escorting the prisoners. Without another word, he grabbed her hand forcefully again, looked straight at Tan Miao who was following her, and said sternly: "Tan Miao
Master, if you don’t take action, you won’t have a chance.”
"Master Tan?"
Chu Nanzhi looked at him in surprise: "Is he the one you suspect?"
How did this guy figure out the clues?
Lin Jinxiao tightened her hand and had no time to pay attention to her question, and continued to face Tan Miao.
Tan Miao looked at the couple in confusion: "Mr. Lin, I don't know what you are talking about?"
"Why bother acting anymore."
Lin Jinxiao looked solemn and said straightforwardly: "Ignore the deaths of several county magistrates for the time being. When I checked the chronology in the past two days, I found that a Dongsang caravan from Songhai the year before last entered the city.
disappeared, and you happened to have purchased two fertile fields of nearly 500 acres in the south and north of the city the year before last, and owned them under Chen Wuwu. Last year, you bought a three-in-three building in the most prosperous Changrenfang in the south of the city.
Out of the compound."
"What does this mean?"
Tan Miao calmly explained: "I have been an official for more than 20 years in a humble position, so buying some land and a house is nothing."
"You are just a ninth-grade registrar, with a monthly salary of only seven or eight taels of silver. I have also heard that you have always regarded yourself as honest in the government office. Although you and the county lieutenant Qi Luan often made money for Kang Mingyuan, you never accepted him.
The dirty money you gave me, I have read your resume and family background. You grew up in poverty, and you were promoted to be a filial and upright person when you were nearly thirty years old. You relied on Kang Mingyuan to help you with your ups and downs, but you have been kept in office without promotion. "
At this point, Lin Jinxiao sharpened his tone and asked, "Master Tan, please tell me, where did you come from for the sudden expenditure of tens of thousands of taels of silver?"
Tan Miao listened to his powerful words and murmured in his heart. He didn't expect that this guy had been hiding himself in the back hall for two days, and had the officials watch and interrogate them individually. He was secretly inquiring about himself.
It was really unexpected.
He didn't show any flaws either.
Tan Miao collected his thoughts and said calmly: "Even if I have received some money from the Dongsang people, so what. Now that the diplomatic relations between the countries are normal, and the Dongsang people are respectful to me, even if I really send some small things to Beizi, it will be fine."
Isn’t that an exaggeration?”
"As the saying goes, there is no reward for no merit. The Dongsang people gave you tens of thousands of taels of silver for no reason, but you accepted it so calmly and dared to talk to me about anything. These thieves have neither customs clearance documents nor legal rules.
Yin, sneaking into Haikang County secretly, how can the diplomatic relations be normal? In the past two years, the imperial court has been secretly investigating the whereabouts of the Dongsang caravan, but you deliberately concealed its whereabouts, what do you want?"
Speaking of this, Lin Jinxiao's eyes turned cold, and his sharp eagle eyes looked straight at Tan Miao, even more angry: "Kang Mingyuan is so greedy that he dare not accept bribes from Dongsang people. You have also read the power of this."
Don’t the people who write from sages know this clearly?”
After a pause, he raised his eyebrows and continued: "As I expected, the money you spent to purchase the land is just the tip of the iceberg given to you by the Dongsang people, right?"
"Why, is it possible that Mr. Lin wants to find a job in a low-level job based on his own random suspicions?"
Tan Miao sneered confidently, and gradually realized that he was willing to risk his own life just to force himself to reveal his flaws and admit that he had colluded with the Dongsang people.
Not allowing Lin Jinxiao to answer, Chu Nanzhi took out the salt bag he brought back and gestured to him: "I'm afraid Master Tan's family will be copied today."
"Oh, Mrs. Chu also wants to suspect me?"
Tan Miao glanced sideways at the fighting scene not far away. The government officials had gradually taken over. This was not a good thing.
He forced himself to calm down and slowly looked at Chen Si, who was escorted back by Chu Nanzhi. Hai Kangyan said with a sarcastic smile: "Could it be that Mrs. Chu wants to ask me for my crime based on these two people?"
Chu Nanzhi smiled calmly. She originally wanted to use the autopsy to test Tan Miao again, but she never thought that Lin Jinxiao would find out about this man's activities with the Dongsang people, and finally understood his intention of coming out in person.
At the moment, she still doesn't know whether Chen Wu has been caught and brought to justice. The top priority is to help Lin Jinxiao be convicted of Tan Miao's crime of colluding with the Dongsang people.
After careful consideration, Chu Nanzhi approached Lin Jinxiao's ear and asked softly: "Has Chen Wu not been arrested yet?"
"Tan Miao is an extremely evil person. He blames Kang Mingyuan for all his evil deeds. He will definitely not show his trump card until the last moment."
Lin Jinxiao also replied softly: "If my guess is correct, Chen Wu must have gone to ask for reinforcements on his behalf."
"Um."
Chu Nanzhi nodded slightly. Now that Tan Miao had exhausted all the means he could use, it was time to show his trump card.
Lin Jinxiao was seen majestically standing in front of her, shouting to the surroundings: "Friends from the sea, please show up quickly. If you miss this opportunity, I will clean up the coastal defense and remove the faint ones. If you want to succeed again,
But there’s no chance.”
After everyone heard this, they all looked around quietly. The sound of fighting stopped and the air immediately became stagnant.
Tan Miao's heart was pounding wildly, and his whole mood was in chaos.
He was hesitant to take the gamble.
It took a lot of effort to lure Lin Jinxiao out, but most of the government officials at Luyan Port had already dispersed. It would be difficult to miss this opportunity.
Furthermore, he didn't know what kind of evidence the woman in front of him had found. If he was implicated, there would be no chance for him to stand up.
At present, the only way to get rid of these two people and put all the blame on Kang Mingyuan and his group of minions is to have a chance to control Haikang County again.
When he was gnashing his teeth and in a dilemma, Chu Nanzhi slowly walked out from behind Lin Jinxiao.
At times like this, it's not just psychological tactics.
If it was as he expected, Zhu Yue was the victim of Tan Miao, and he framed Kang Mingyuan and Qi Luan for nothing more than to gain a higher position and better monopolize the power of Haikang County, then it would not be difficult to lure out the Dongsang people behind them.
Chu Nanzhi looked firmly into the distance and shouted loudly: "I have mastered the ironclad evidence that Tan Miao murdered the imperial official. He can no longer escape the blame. Now that Kang Mingyuan is in prison and the county captain Qi Luan is dead, if you don't take the initiative
Come out and plead guilty, and wait until the court's two thousand coastal defense garrison arrives tonight. It will be extremely difficult to return to the sea, let alone if you want to have some conspiracy."
When Lin Jinxiao heard about the coastal defense garrison, he couldn't help but frown slightly.
She thought about it for a moment, then returned to normal in an instant: The mind of a woman like her is really unimaginable. The imperial garrison was still on the road with Jiang Xueyi, but she dared to use it to bluff people.
Tan Miao was also surprised. He didn't expect the coastal defense garrison to arrive so quickly. No wonder Lin Jinxiao was so confident.
Without his acquiescence, many people in the chaotic crowd took off their disguises, took out long knives specially made by the Dongsang people from their packages, and rushed forward aggressively.
For a time, figures ready to move behind the eaves, in wine shops, and teahouses were exposed to everyone's sight one after another.
