Chapter Thirty-Four: Jin Fu Arrested
Tu Qianjun and a Tiqi were struggling to resist the attack of two men in black. Tu Qianjun's skills were still able to support them, but his companion's steps were unsteady and he must have been injured.
There was a Tiqi lying on the ground, motionless, with a pool of blood under his body. He probably couldn't survive.
Du Wenlin said nothing and walked straight towards the man in black opposite Tiqi.
The man in black was holding a knife in both hands and desperately attacking the opponent. He saw that the opponent was already crumbling and was about to be chopped off by the knife.
Suddenly, there was a sound of wind blowing from clothes behind him, and he knew someone was sneaking up on him. However, relying on his quick sword and body, he was able to cut down the enemy in front of him and then turn around to deal with the enemy behind him.
His calculation should be correct, but he didn't calculate the speed of the person attacking behind him accurately.
The enemy's sword on the opposite side has been cut down, and it only takes one more slash to end his life.
It's a pity that this knife can never go back.
There was a heartbreaking pain in his back, and he could no longer control the long knife. It fell to the ground with a clang, and he slowly fell down with his hands on his chest, and his soul returned to Japan.
The remaining man in black did not show any timidity, and still fought desperately with Tu Qianjun.
Suddenly there was a short whistle in the distance, and the man in black paused for a moment, put away his knife and retreated, as if he wanted to escape.
But it was already too late, the retreat behind him had been blocked by Du Wenlin.
He suddenly felt a pain in his right shoulder, and a dagger was stuck firmly in the bone seam of his shoulder. The pain instantly spread throughout his body through his veins. The long knife fell to the ground, his body trembled, and he could no longer move his feet.
Tiqi and the factory guards, who had just been fighting fiercely with the three men in black on the other side, now surrounded them.
They reported that after the roar, the three men in black broke out of the encirclement and escaped over the wall.
Du Wenlin knew that if the man in black wanted to leave, there was nothing they could do to stop him.
Fortunately, I caught a prisoner, which was a big gain.
Tu Qianjun and Tiqi had already searched Jin Fu and Xiao Fengxian from the house, tied them up and took them over.
Jin Fu's body was hunched over and he was struggling to move forward. No one would believe that such an old man was actually the leader of the "Red Faction" in Changzhou.
In fact, after the fighting started outside, he had time to escape from the backyard.
He was too superstitious about the martial arts of those Japanese warriors, confident that they could completely wipe out all the enemies, and then he and Xiao Fengxian could pack up the gold and silver before dawn and leave calmly with the men in black.
Even if you no longer serve as the helmsman in the future, you can still rely on the money in your hands to ensure that you have enough food and clothing for the rest of your life.
However, the ending disappointed him. At this time, he already felt that the end was coming.
Happiness came quickly. After Jin Changshun's death, he became the helmsman of hundreds of congregants in Changzhou, and was also the de facto owner of the Jin family's huge industry.
The key is that the little fairy who once gave me erotic dreams on countless nights was also taken into my arms.
Sometimes he even doubted whether even the aloof emperor could be so happy?
It's just that happiness passed by too fast, and reality instantly knocked him back to the eighteenth level of hell.
He raised his head and looked at the little Phoenix Fairy beside him, whose face was full of pear blossoms. He felt sad in his heart. The thing that made him miss the most in his life was this lovely woman next to him. Unfortunately, the tenderness that once enchanted people and made them gnaw at their bones would never be the same again.
,
The sky seemed to be covered with a piece of black cloth, without any stars. The air was filled with the smell of blood, making people even more depressed and disgusting.
Jin Fu's bones are not hard. The factory guards and the Tiqi of the Jinyi Guards used all their torture methods, but he was able to grit his teeth and push through. Even a ruthless man like Tu Qianjun had to admire him:
"This old man is really tough!"
Even if the lame Ah Si comes to testify, he can still insist:
"You have mistaken the person."
However, humans will have weaknesses, and his weakness is the little fairy.
After using all available methods, Tu Qianjun thought of Xiao Fengxian:
"It seems that there is only one last resort left."
Du Wenlin looked at him puzzled.
"Bring that woman over. Even if he doesn't cherish his own bones, he will cherish the flesh of his heart."
Du Wenlin knew what these people were planning to do, and wanted to stop them, but gave up after thinking about it.
Jiangnan and his party have already lost several brothers in the battle. If they act like a woman again and put the investigation work into trouble, how can they be worthy of them?
Sighing helplessly, he walked slowly into the courtyard, looking at the crystal dewdrops in the stamens of the begonias in front of the corridor, and thinking about his future path.
Being the top scholar in high school has been the dream of all scholars since ancient times. This title itself is more dazzling than gold.
Unfortunately, God has favored me, and the title of No. 1 Scholar this year fell to me, so I was also planning my future career path in my dream.
Who would have thought that now he would step into the arena and work with swords every day? This has never happened in his dreams.
It seems that sometimes the path of life is indeed out of your control.
"Hey, why are you standing there alone in a daze? Do you think of Miss Cao from Nanjing again?" A voice like a silver bell rang, and Wang Ling appeared next to her.
Du Wenlin's head was a little big again, and every time Wang Ling appeared, he would have a headache.
Just a smile, no words.
"How is the interrogation going? If this old man opens his mouth, can we complete the task as soon as possible and go home early?" Wang Ling asked.
Du Wenlin shook his head and said:
"You weren't originally on the list for this operation. You've been out for so long, so it's time to go back, so as not to worry about Mr. Wang."
"You don't have to worry about this." Wang Ling pouted again.
Du Wenlin could only smile bitterly again.
"Master Du, Jin Fu said that he wants to confess. Would you like to come in and listen?" Tu Qianjun came out and said.
Du Wenlin turned around and walked into the house, and Wang Ling followed him in.
Jin Fu's limbs were tied to a pillar, his hair was disheveled, his body was covered in blood, his head was half hanging, and he was weak.
The little Phoenix Fairy was tied to the pillar opposite. Her shirt had been taken off, leaving only her undergarments. Her face was bruised and bruised, and she was crying.
Du Wenlin couldn't bear it and motioned for Xiao Fengxian to be wrapped in clothes.
Three Tiqiu stood next to them, looking fierce. One Tiqiu was lying on the table waiting to record.
Du Wenlin walked up to Jin Fu:
"Steward Jin, did you order Jin Changshun to be killed?"
"yes."
"Were you responsible for the interception and killing of Hu Jinsheng in Jurong last year?"
"The order to intercept him was issued by me on behalf of Jin Changshun, but we also accepted the order from above. Hu Jinsheng is not from our Changzhou steering port."
"Where does he belong to the management?"
"It should be the steering port on the Zhejiang side. However, the location and detailed information of the steering ports in various places are top secret information within the church, and each steering port is not allowed to inquire about or communicate with each other, so I don't know the specific situation on the Zhejiang side."
"How much do you know about the 'Desert Zerg'?"
Jin Fu frowned slightly when he heard Du Wenlin mention the 'Desert Zerg'. Although he often gave them assassination orders, he didn't know the inside story of that race:
"They come and go mysteriously, and I don't know their inside story. I first came into contact with them through the introduction from the general forum above. If they are needed to perform a task, they will be sent through carrier pigeons according to the preset code words."
Du Wenlin suddenly came up with the idea of "leading the snake out of its hole", giving them false instructions through Jin Fu, and then encircling and suppressing them at the agreed location.
It's just that we don't have enough time to implement this plan yet.
"What's going on with those Japanese warriors?"
"They are all hired by us at the Japanese stronghold in Ningbo and have nothing to do with our religion," Jin Fu replied.
"How much do you know about the Ying brothers?"
Hearing the mention of the Ying brothers, Jin Fu was a little surprised and raised his head with difficulty to stare at the young man in front of him.
He originally thought that the Ying brothers were a great secret to outsiders and an extremely sharp secret weapon. Unexpectedly, this young man knew their names.
"I only know that they come from a mysterious nation and can only come out at night. I don't know anything else."
"Where did the three of them and that Wei Dongqing go?"
Jin Fu was even more surprised to see that he even knew Wei Dongqing's name. He didn't know how many secrets the other party had about them.
"The four of them were sent to Wuxi to form a new altar, with Wei Dongqing as the leader."
"Where is their stronghold?"
“‘Juxian Villa’ at the foot of Huqiu Mountain.”
"How many branches are there under the Changzhou branch?"
"Four, in addition to Wuxi, there are Nanjing branch, Jiaxing branch and Xuancheng branch."
Hearing the mention of the Nanjing branch, Du Wenlin's heart moved and he thought of his mother-in-law.
"Oh, the place managed by Changzhou Duokou is quite big. How much do you know about the affairs of the Central Academy of Education in Nanjing?"
"At the end of the month, each branch will report the major events that occurred in their jurisdiction this month to Changzhou Duokou."
"Where are those reports?"
"There is a darkroom in Jin Changshun's study, and everything is hidden in it."
Du Wenlin turned to Tu Qianjun and said:
"Master Tu, go tell Master Ouyang to gather all the servants in the mansion and cooperate with us to go to Jin Mansion immediately. Find a covered carriage and take him with you. He will be well served on the road, so you must not treat him lightly." He pointed.
I clicked on Jin Fu.
He was afraid that Jin Fu would not be able to withstand the torture and die on the road.
A trip to Jinfu was a great experience.
In the darkroom of the Jin Mansion, a large number of letters were found, as well as detailed information about the steering port of Changzhou. Among them were lists of personnel in the altar sent by the four branches below, and reports on the arrangements for affairs in the altar. There were also reports sent by the general forum above.
written instructions.
I packed several bags and took them back to the government office for careful sorting.
Du Wenlin ordered Haosheng to take care of Jin Fu and find a doctor to help him heal his injuries, because there were many things that needed his cooperation later.
He specifically picked out the reports sent from the Nanjing branch and carefully searched for information about Cao Cuizhu's mother.
Sure enough, the detailed time of his joining the religion was found, and there was also a report ordering him to mobilize Governor Cao to join the religion:
"This forum has asked him to do his best and use all available means to ensure that Cao can successfully join the sect..."
However, I looked further back and found no information that Governor Cao had joined the religion.
Du Wenlin breathed a sigh of relief. At present, it seems that Governor Cao has not joined the religion, otherwise such an important matter would not be without a written report.
However, Mrs. Cao has been involved in it, and she is afraid that Governor Cao will not be able to escape the blame.
Now that the evidence is in your own hands, how should you deal with it?
One side is justice and the other side is family affection. How to choose?
Du Wenlin felt his head buzzing and in chaos.
Let's just secretly collect all the letters and materials about Mrs. Cao and talk about it later.
I also know that this is not a long-term solution, because the Nanjing branch is about to be wiped out, and Mrs. Cao's information will be exposed by then.
However, no matter what her fate is in the future, that is a matter for the future. Today, I still have to find a way to protect her.
Magistrate Ouyang immediately deployed troops outside the city to cooperate with Du Wenlin and others, and rushed to various places to arrest people according to the list.
Du Wenlin was thinking about Mrs. Cao and wondered whether she could escape the disaster this time. At the same time, he was worried about Governor Cao.
I originally wanted to go to Nanjing with the arresting team in person, but I was worried that my men would not be able to deal with the Ying brothers in Wuxi. After careful consideration, I decided to go to Wuxi first. After all, the overall situation was more important.
Du Wenlin and Wang Ling rushed to Wuxi with the factory guards and a group of officers and soldiers, while Tu Qianjun led the Tiqi and officers and soldiers to Nanjing.
According to the information provided by Jin Fu, Du Wenlin and others rushed to the "Juxian Villa" at the foot of Huqiu Mountain, but the village was already empty.
They must have been informed in advance.
After handing over the management of the village to the county government in Wuxi, Du Wenlin led his troops and rushed to Jiaxing.
The group in Jiaxing went relatively smoothly. Without any decent fighting, they killed the altar leader and his followers, put all the prisoners in the Jiaxing government prison, and asked the prefect to wait for notification from above.
