Chapter 85
"This is such a cruel person..."

It was almost dusk, and the two catchers stood at the edge of the bamboo forest. After a while, Chen catcher murmured these words.

"what happened?"

"That man...he's sitting here..."

As if he had substituted something, Chen Chutou took a deep breath in discomfort. He squatted down and picked up a branch from the side.The small area nearby is basically made of bamboo. The branch in front of me is obviously folded from the side, and the leaves are slightly wrinkled.

"He should be here waiting for someone to come... Sitting here... The stool or chair should have been burned... The waiting time was not short, and he was injured and seriously injured, but he still didn't plan to leave, he was still there. Wait here... At this time, he may have killed Yang Yi and Yang Heng's family..."

He said so, looked at the ruins of the river beach over there, plucked a leaf and thought about it, put it in his mouth, and immediately frowned.

"That's not right, it wouldn't be the style of that female assassin. If it was a martial artist, she wouldn't have been hurt so badly..."

Deputy Chief Xu on the other side also frowned: "You mean, Gu Yanzhen's case was done by another person?"

"It's very likely, it's very likely, that person..." Chen Zhufeng paused, "That person killed Yang Yi and Yang Heng's family because of something, he... was injured, seriously... still... Wait here, then Gu Yanzhen's master and servant will come over, and then kill Gu Yanzhen's master and servant. Come and see this underground..."

Chen Zhaotou pointed to the woodland in front of him. The piles here were basically fallen bamboo leaves, and some subtle things were hidden in it, so it was not very clear in the twilight light.

"He's chewing this leaf, it's bitter, he keeps chewing, why is that? Because here, here...he vomited twice, although not much, but he couldn't hide the marks when he left... ...Why do you stay here all the time? Why do you vomit? Why chew this kind of leaf? It's not a special hobby..." Chen Chutou paused, "He was injured, and he was seriously injured, and he needed this leaf for Refreshing, such a serious injury even caused him to vomit twice, he is sitting here waiting, maybe not with certainty to kill, but... who has to see who is coming..."

Deputy Chief Xu looked at the chewed leaf residues and vomit: "This is a new branch."

"I also know that a branch is born outside the festival." Chen Chutou spat out the leaves in his mouth, and then threw the branch in his hand, "I really don't want to chew another piece... Brother Yang Yi and Yang Heng have been tying people for the past few years. Acting, tying pigs, some are vendettas, some are entrusted by big households to tie certain favorite women, Gu Yanzhen came over at night, indicating that he is not a good thing, I am afraid that he entrusted the other party to tie people... This person sitting here, no Knowing whether his family members were kidnapped or whether he himself was kidnapped, he had to wait here, waiting for the mastermind behind the scenes to appear..."

"The one who can kill Yang Yi and Yang Heng's family is also a tough and ruthless character. He shouldn't have been kidnapped."

"It's too ruthless..." Chen Zhaotou sighed, "After killing the Yang family, he was seriously injured, and he can still wait here quietly, and stand up until the mastermind behind the scenes comes over, and then kills Gu Yanzhen's master and servant. Oh... Lao Xu, we have been hunting for so many years, how many of us can achieve this level after passing the desperadoes in our hands?"

"After being seriously injured, she still killed Gu Yanzhen's master and servant. Could it be the female assassin? Suppose a person important to her was kidnapped. Yang Yi and Yang Heng threatened her with this, causing her serious injury, but she still killed her in the end. Yang's family. Then she was a daring artist, waiting for Gu Yanzhen's master and servant to appear here, killing him..."

"It's an inference. But when she appeared to kill the two servants of the Gu family the next day, she was still alive and well..." Chen Zhaotou shook his head, "This person may not be skilled in martial arts, but he is extremely ruthless. He is ruthless to others and himself, and even if he sacrifices his life, he has to see the mastermind here, because he doesn't want someone to stare at him from behind, but he doesn't know, such a person is terrible..."

"Then... the case has changed, how to report it next?" Deputy Chief Xu asked tentatively.

"How can I report it? The adults have already said those words, do you still have to tell him that this may be another case? Besides, what can this point indicate? It is difficult to provide evidence. Originally, when it rained, there was nothing. I'm done." Chen Zhaotou patted the bamboo next to him and shook his head, "Join the case. Make sure that the female assassin did everything, and issue the sea arrest documents. There are probably more than ten murder cases in Yang Yi and Yang Heng's hands, so come here. Entrusting Gu Yanzhen to kidnap people is not a good thing. If my family is kidnapped, they will kill the whole family! Before the matter is clear, you and I will investigate secretly. "

In many folk performing arts stories, it is said that so-and-so is upright and selfless, and is praised by the people.But in fact, the so-called uprightness also needs to have rules and regulations. It doesn't matter if you are upright in small matters, but if you have a temper like an ox at any time, you will not be able to get this position at all. If you dare to mess around with the performance appraisal, don't be surprised that the other party puts on your shoes the next day. This matter can only be reported after it is fully ascertained.

After Chen Zhaotou finished speaking, Lao Xu next to him also nodded: "That's how it should be."

It wasn't long before the torrential rain began to fall.

******************
After mid-June, the impact of the floods in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River began to show.When Ning Yi returned to Jiangning, the victims of the disaster also came one after another from the west. At this time, it was just the beginning. The atmosphere in the city was slightly tense, but it was not obvious. something will happen.

I met with Qin Laokang, and with Li Pin and others. Everyone expressed their greetings about the burn on his left hand. When asked about the process, Ning Yi naturally used it to tell the Su family. The reason for listening is perfunctory.Su Chonghua originally told him to rest for more time, but it's not good to take a rest for half a year. After a few days, he went to Yushan Academy again.

The experiment of high-level wine distillation has basically been finalized. Without Lu Hongti living in the small courtyard, Ning Yi does not care to go there every day to do experiments. So in the afternoon, he basically went to Qinhuai River to meet with Qin Lao. Play chess and chat or something.During the time he was not in Jiangning, it was basically Li Band that taught him for those children, so after he came back, he also invited him to have a meal and talk about it as a reward. Li Pin is similar to Qin Lao Kang, and he has been concerned about it recently. disaster victims.

"...Up to now, four places in the upper reaches have been flooded, and the Yellow River has burst its dykes. After July, the flood victims came flooding in, and I am afraid that four doors will be closed again. Today, the price of food is soaring, alas, I don't know how many people will die this autumn..."

Many people will probably die this autumn. It is already a consensus of everyone. Of course, there are not many traces of turmoil in Jiangning City. Worrying about the people, there are also some good poems that express the feelings of worrying about the country and the people.In the past few days, we can see the situation of grain trucks entering and leaving the gate of Su Mansion. Referring to the trajectory of each disaster such as this, many large households are already stockpiling grain.Su Tan'er is also worried, of course, the direction of worry is also different.

"Recently, business has been declining in various places. When the city gate closes in mid-to-late July, it is estimated that the city will have to close stores... I have to go to the city to cook porridge and rice, and I have to donate a large amount to the government. The pigeons at home prepare Not much, it would be even more troublesome if it flew out and was beaten down and eaten by someone, and it would be even more expensive to hire a messenger and ask for a quick horse to get in and out, and I’m afraid it would all be delayed for a few months…”

At night, she and Ning Yi were talking in the corridor on the second floor, talking about these things while eating.She has been quite busy recently, but despite all the complaints, she seems to be in good spirits. I am afraid that things about the Royal Merchant have made some good progress.

At the end of June, when I went to eat at Zhuji Main Store, I met Yuan Jiner once.She probably had nothing to do, so she came to play with her sister Yunzhu. When she saw Ning Yi coming over, she volunteered to bring out a bowl of preserved egg and lean meat porridge, slammed it on the table in front of Ning Yi, and gave Ning Yi to I was startled, and when I saw this seemingly familiar figure, I laughed: "Little Er, you are so unprofessional, beware of being complained about."

"Complain, then complain!" Yuan Jin'er put her hands on her hips, stuck out her tongue and made a hateful face, then turned and walked inside.Not long after, Nie Yunzhu came out with a smile, and she followed him. She sat down at the table with Nie Yunzhu, and sat there for a while with a straight face, and then said, "Ning Caizi, write me a poem."

Ning Yi ate the preserved egg and lean meat porridge and nodded, "Okay."

"what?"

Ning Yi's straightforward answer startled her, and after a while, she said, "Are you really helping me write?"

"The last time you helped Songhuadan with publicity, now that you have opened your mouth, there is no reason to reject you."

"Hmph, last time I was helping Sister Yunzhu." Yuan Jin'er held her chin in thought for a while, and tapped her fingers on her cheek, "But didn't that Taoist only write two poems?"

"This time, I said it was written by a monk."

Yuan Jin'er held back her laughter: "But I will sing it out. I will say that Ning Liheng wrote it for me, and I will say that Ning Liheng wrote it for me 'specially'!"

Ning Yi spread his hands.

Yuan Jin'er looked at him for a while, then looked at Nie Yunzhu: "You are a good person, but I still hate you, Sister Yunzhu, let's go, don't want his poems, and don't talk to him!"

She took Nie Yunzhu's hand and left, Nie Yunzhu called "Jin'er, Jin'er" a few times, and finally let her force her away.

Yuan Jiner's dissatisfaction with him, Ning Yi heard Nie Yunzhu say it earlier, probably because he supported Qilan in the oiran competition, there is no way to make sense of this matter, and of course there is no need to make sense.

At the end of June, the dog days have not yet come out, and the weather is hot. However, due to the flood and disaster conditions in the upstream, even the breath of Jiangning is a little dull and depressing.

Water conditions, disaster victims, and students studying in the school, occasionally discuss with Li Pin, and he occasionally pays attention to the movement of the government. After Gu Yanzhen's death, it seems that he has also approached Li Pin and Nie Yunzhu to inquire about some situations. The business is already very good, and the Su family is busy preparing for the disaster. Su Tan'er continues her plan. One day, she brought a small piece of very brightly colored silk the size of a palm, and secretly gave it to her at night. Ning Yi looked: "Is it beautiful?"

I drank porridge at noon this day, and went down to the Qinhuai River in the afternoon. When I met Qin Laokang, the old man was there. The flood season is almost coming to an end, but there may be the last wave. The two old people are talking about the disaster relief after the flood recently. and the like.

"Shaohe is in Jiangzhou. I'm afraid I will have to be busy next time. Disaster relief is different from other things. Siyuan should do more for such urgent matters." Kang Xian was talking about Qin Siyuan's eldest son, Qin Shao. He, who is now an official in the Jiangzhou area, Qin Siyuan also nodded at this time: "A few family letters have been handed over in the past two months, and most of what should be said has already been said, and the situation over there is basically sent back from him. I found out in the book."

At this time, Elder Qin and Elder Kang were basically talking, and Ning Yi was thinking about something in his heart. After a while, when Elder Qin asked, he smiled and said, "I just have some ideas... Well, I'll sort it out tonight, and take it tomorrow. Come and have a look, if it's useful... heh, I'll send two things to Elder Qin."
