Volume 1: Jiangzhou Chapter 141: Speedy Arrest(1/2)
Back in Jiangzhou City, Ling Xin'an directly issued an announcement. Anyone who can provide clues will be rewarded with one hundred thousand taels of silver once it is confirmed to be true.
The major chambers of commerce and the people of Jiangzhou were already angry, but someone actually blatantly assassinated someone from the Ling family. Soon, Ling Xin'an received countless messages.
Opposite the winery, someone saw an aquiline man in his thirties, wearing blue and blue clothes, closing the door before the fire.
When the fire started, someone saw a man from behind throwing the clothes in his hands into the trash can. The man had a hooked nose and was about the middle age.
Soon, the dress was presented in court.
Someone said that when he ran up to the winery with a basin to pour water, he accidentally ran into two people, a man with an aquiline hook and a man with a beard. At that time, we all ran to the winery, and they were the only two who left the winery.
Soon, the portraits of the man with an aquiline hook and the man with a beard were posted in Jiangzhou City, and the whole city was wanted.
Soon, Ling Xin'an received many more messages.
At a construction site under construction in the new city, people were coming and going. Workers were busy working. The end of the day's work was coming soon. There were not many people, only about a dozen.
"Old Liu, how many drinks will you have tonight?" A honest man shouted to a man who was working silently not far away. The man stood up and said with a face like an aquiline nose: "I'm not going to drink tonight.
,I’ll go find Xiaohong tonight.”
The honest man said: "I told you, Old Liu, you are so strong, why don't you find a wife? Go find those people, how can you afford to spend money?"
Lao Liu didn't reply, just smiled. At this time, footsteps suddenly came from outside the construction site, and they hurried towards this place. Everyone felt strange, Lao Liu's eyes flashed, and he slowly walked to a wooden pillar.
Go up and stand there.
A figure appeared, it was a government patrol officer. In front of the team, Ling Xin'an walked in holding a gentleman's sword.
"See Mr. Ling!" Everyone saluted quickly, but there was doubt in their hearts.
Ling Xin'an glanced over and said: "Everyone, get up!" Everyone stood up quickly. The man with the aquiline hook lowered his head, but Ling Xin'an's eyes were already fixed on him.
A ray of sword light passed through the crowd and pierced him. Seeing this, the aquiline man's face flashed several times in succession. He slapped hard and the wooden pillar fell down. Then came the screams of the workers falling to the ground. His
But his figure was leaping in the air.
"Hmph, I want to run away!" Two sword rays shot straight from both corners at the same time.
It's Fang Shirong and his wife.
Ling Xin'an's Feilong Claw had long been shot on the wooden board. With the help of the force, the person instantly came to the person's feet. The Tai Chi sword technique centered on him and instantly enveloped him. There was a popping sound, a scream, and the aquiline hook.
The man suddenly fell to the ground.
He looked at Ling Xin'an, fear flashed in his eyes, the gentleman's sword trembled, and his two palms flew up immediately. Everyone looked at the man with the hook who was bleeding profusely, their faces were horrified, and they really couldn't understand what was happening.
I saw a figure hurriedly rushed to Ling Xin'an and knelt down: "Sir, what happened?"
Ling Xin'an looked at the person who was obviously in charge of this project and asked, "When did this person come?"
Feeling Ling Xin'an's cold murderous intent, the man quickly lowered his head and said: "Sir, I found him in the labor market a month ago. He said he was from Qingzhou Prefecture and came here to work, so I brought him back.
Here."
Looking at the aquiline man with broken limbs, Ling Xin'an lifted his lips with her foot, blood immediately flowed out, and said coldly: "Take all these people back and interrogate them one by one."
"Yes, sir!"

Half an hour later, in front of the door of a building named Gui Mansion, Ling Xin'an waved his hand, and dozens of people immediately rushed out and blasted the door directly. The roaring sound shocked the neighbors to quickly poke their heads out.
Come, soon, the door crashes to the ground, and when you step in, you see corpses all over the courtyard, all of them fatally wounded by a knife.
Ling Xin'an's face was ashen, Guo Song sent people to search for him and said: "Sir, there are no survivors."
"What is the name of this master of Gui Mansion?"
"Gui Congrong."
"Take me to his room."
Soon, Ling Xin'an came to his room. It was extremely simple, with no extra decorations, except for a row of bookcases. When she came to it, she reached out and pushed all the books. There was no secret passage as she imagined.
"Sir, a boy on the street just now saw that not long after the fire was extinguished, the owner of the Gui Mansion left the city with two or three family members!" Zhao Hu came to the room and said to Ling Xin'an.
"I have sent the guards to report their whereabouts!"
"Take away everything valuable here and don't stop looking for secret passages. This building will be auctioned later."
"Yes, sir!"
Ling Xin'an said: "Tell Leader Guo, no matter what method he uses, I will make him confess who is behind this today."
"Yes, sir!" Zhao Hu hurriedly left.
When Ling Xin'an rushed back to the Ling Mansion, someone immediately reported: "Sir, Gui Congrong took four female relatives and headed northeast two hours ago!"
"To the northeast is Xinmin Village, Xinmin Town?"
"Yes, sir!"
Ling Xin'an's eyes were sharp, Xinmin Town.
"My lord, I've asked." At this time, Guo Song's figure appeared in the Ling Mansion and handed over a white paper with blood stains on it.
"If I hadn't removed his clothes, I wouldn't have found the mark on this person's chest."
"This is?" Ling Xin'an looked at the white paper and saw a circle printed on it, with a symbol similar to a swimming fish pattern on it.
"Dujiabao?" Fang Shirong looked at the white paper and said coldly.
"Elder Fang, do you think this is the pattern of Dujiabao?" Ling Xin'an asked.
"Exactly, these are the unique symbols of Jianghu sect, so this is the symbol of Dujiabao!" Fang Shirong nodded.
"That's right, the Chinese character for Gui is the Chinese character for Du!" Ling Xin'an sighed: "Get ready for tomorrow, let's go to Xinmin Town!"
Xinmin Town is an immigrant town. It is a new town formed by 100% foreign population, so it is called Xinmin Town.
There are two villages in Xinmin Town, Xinmin Village and Xinmin No. 2 Village.
The mayor is a middle-aged man who has come all the way to do good deeds. His surname is Zhong. People in Xinmin Town affectionately call him Zhong Shanren.
But when he had just finished his breakfast and was about to go out for a walk, a servant immediately ran and shouted: "Master, Master Ling is here!"
Zhong Shanren frowned and said: "What kind of behavior is there in such a panic? Who is Mr. Ling?"
The servant said: "Sir, how many Lord Lings can there be in Jiangzhou City?"
Zhong Shanren's expression changed and he stood up immediately, but he heard a voice: "There's no need to come out, I'm already here!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ling Xin'an's figure had appeared in the living room.
"I bow to you, Lord Ling!" The people from the Zhong Mansion immediately saluted.
"Everyone, get up!" Ling Xin'an sat casually above.
"Zhong Shanren."
"The humble duty is here!" Zhong Shan said.
"I want to inquire about a person from you.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
!”
"Master Ling, please speak!"
"Gui Congrong!"
Zhong Shanren wondered: "I don't know this person in my humble position. I wonder what Master Ling wants to see him for?"
"Yesterday he came to Xinmin Town with his family. Some people said that he stayed at the inn you opened. Is it true or not?"
Zhong Shanren's expression changed and he said quickly: "Sir, the inn is not being run by the young one. The young one doesn't know who is staying at the inn. Let's go check it out now!"
"No need." Ling Xin'an stood up and said, "I just came here to say hello to you. I had already ordered people to surround the inn before I came."
After that, he strode away. Zhong Shanren's face was gloomy and he immediately followed.
There is an inn in Xinmin Town, and the inn is called Xinmin Inn. At this time, the inn was surrounded by people. When Ling Xin'an's figure appeared on the street, it immediately aroused cheers and curiosity from the crowd.
"My lord, my lord!" someone shouted.
Ling Xin'an waved slightly and arrived at Xinmin Inn, followed closely by Zhong Shanren.
"My lord, no!" Guo Song said softly.
"It's strange to be talented!" Ling Xin'an said.
Guo Song frowned. At this time, the shopkeeper hurriedly came out and saluted: "Sir, no one named Gui Congrong or his family members came to settle here last night."
Ling Xin'an came to the backyard of the stable and saw that there was no carriage in the haystack, only a single horse riding hay.
Returning to the door of the inn again, the good man was already waiting for him.
"Sir, this is the list of admissions last night!" He handed the list to Ling Xin'an.
Ling Xin'an took it and flipped through the name registered last night without Gui Rongrong's name. She closed the register and said calmly to Zhong Shanren: "It seems that the evil thief ran away!"
"I don't know what happened? If you need a little help, please just ask me!" Zhong Shanren said.
