Chen Jinjun was brought to the side room by Xu Fanming at Taiping Villa, where there was a large sand table.
"How did you do this?" Chen Jinjun was very curious. This sand table was so detailed that even the mountains around Yongzhou City were clearly marked.
Xu Fanming raised his eyebrows at her proudly: "Do you think the group of brothers from the Qinghong Society I led are all freeloaders?"
He pointed to a small mountain in Yongzhou: "It took the brothers three months of running to find out every place. If there is a problem somewhere, I'm afraid it's just this mountain."
"This is?" Chen Jinjun looked at it carefully, "That mountain behind Huo Mansion?"
"This is where Huo Tingyu hides his troops. Even if I give thousands of people, I can't figure it out."
Xu Fanming shook his head helplessly.
Chen Jinjun looked around: "Where do you think Cai Ying is most likely to hide the smoke?"
Xu Fanming pointed to a hilltop in the north of the city.
Chen Jinjun looked at the row of brothers and frowned: "Here? There are cliffs in such a deep valley. Why did Cai Ying spend so much effort hiding the smoke here?"
Xu Fanming scratched the stubble on his chin: "The only possibility is that it is here. I have sent people to keep an eye on it for many days. A donkey cart comes here every few days from Cai Ying's mansion. After pulling a cart of things,
Take advantage of the early morning to sneak into the city."
"Did you find what was in the car?"
"No, it's not easy to get too close in the mountains. When we entered the city, because it was the Cai family's car, we went in without checking." Xu Fanming shook his head.
Chen Jinjun looked at the hilltop: "Is there a warehouse built inside?"
"It's really not true," Xu Fanming looked at Chen Jinjun, "My boss, guess how much Cai Ying spent on this place?"
Chen Jinjun licked his lips unconsciously: "You can't really build a warehouse in a barren mountain, right?"
Xu Fanming shook his head: "It's far more than that. Guess again."
"Is it possible... to build a workshop directly in the mountains?"
Xu Fanming sighed. It's no wonder that Chen Jinjun couldn't guess it. Cai Ying's performance was really unbelievable.
"He dug a fortress inside the mountain along the mountain."
Chen Jinjun looked at where Xu Fanming was pointing and swallowed in shock.
"This...this is a cliff!" She looked in disbelief.
Xu Fanming spread his hands helplessly: "That's the truth. When I got the news, I couldn't believe it."
"I had only heard before that the gangs in Guandong would carve out mountains to build strongholds, but I didn't expect Cai Ying to be able to do it."
Chen Jinjun narrowed his eyes and stared closely at the small hilltop.
"This is highly concealed and secure. He also knows that what he is doing is a brain-destroying thing, so he naturally wants to do it in the safest way possible."
"Then how can we sneak in and get the evidence?"
Chen Jinjun's words stopped Xu Fanming, and he frowned.
"There is still a chisel in the mountain. I'm afraid there is a gun inside. We can't get in with Taipingshan Villa alone."
"Got a gun?" Chen Jinjun clicked his tongue, "This Cai Ying is really willing to spend a lot of money."
She paced back and forth and suddenly clapped her hands: "I'm going to find Huo Tingyu. He has so many soldiers, so he should be pulled out for training."
Hearing her mention Huo Tingyu, Xu Fanming pursed his lips and lowered his eyelashes: "If Marshal Huo sends troops, they can win."
It just depends on whether Marshal Huo is willing.
Xu Fanming did not tell Chen Jinjun about his conversation with Huo Tingyu last night. He only hoped that Marshal Huo could understand his thoughts early and avoid being tied up in front of them.
Thinking of this, the corner of Xu Fanming's mouth raised a vague arc.
Chen Jinjun was still immersed in the shock of Cai Ying's chiseling of the mountain to hide the smoke, and for a moment she did not notice Xu Fanming's little thought.
She said angrily: "Then I'll go to Huo Tingyu and tell him that Cai Ying must be eradicated early, lest he comes back to his senses and destroys everything."
Xu Fanming stopped her: "Now we just know that he hid the smoke in the mountains, but where is the place where he roasted and made tea?"
Chen Jinjun slapped his forehead: "I forgot to tell you, Wu Jiang said that the origin of the soil was found out."
"Where?"
"There are three kilometers around Cai Ying's residence. Moreover, it is underground soil, not soil on the ground."
Chen Jinjun raised his eyebrows at Xu Fanming: "Do you know what this means?"
Xu Fanming looked at her cheerful eyebrows and shook his head dully.
"Cai Ying's workshop is not on the ground, but underground. I guess the entrance is in his house."
After Chen Jinjun finished speaking, he waved his hand to him: "I will go back to Huo Tingyu first to talk about sending troops to search the mountain. Prepare the manpower for entering the mountain. It is estimated that they will enter the mountain in the next two days, so that Cai Ying does not die in one day.
, I felt like a thorn in my back.”
Xu Fanming nodded.
Chen Jinjun left Taipingshan Villa and went directly to the Yongzhou government office.
She had already been here once yesterday, and sat down in the reception room with ease, picking up the newspaper on the side and reading it.
Originally she was just reading the newspaper to pass the time, but slowly she realized something was wrong.
The newspapers here have been normal in recent days, but those in the past days have inexplicably missing the Chen family column page.
She frowned, thinking that no one would be so bored collecting information about Chen's store.
As soon as Huo Tingyu came in, he saw Chen Jinjun looking at the newspapers on the table, with his heart in his throat.
Seeing Chen Jinjun looking over, he quickly calmed down: "Why is my boss here again today, but there is new news?"
As he spoke, he calmly picked up the pile of newspapers that Chen Jinjun had just put down and moved it to the other side of the table where Chen Jinjun could not reach it.
Chen Jinjun had no intention of paying attention to his little moves. She was now focused on rushing into the mountains to catch Cai Ying and his big smoke, and avoid future troubles forever.
"I found the place where Cai Ying hid the smoke."
She looked at Huo Tingyu seriously.
In the past, Huo Tingyu would have communicated with her seriously, but after last night, he was afraid to look into her eyes.
Huo Tingyu tried hard not to dodge his eyes: "Where?"
"In the mountains outside the city."
Huo Tingyu lowered his head to drink tea and missed Chen Jinjun's gaze.
"In the mountains?" he asked, lowering his head.
"Shuai Huo, can I ask you to send troops into the mountain?"
Chen Jinjun did not beat around the bush and stated his purpose straightforwardly.
As soon as he heard that troops were being sent out, Huo Tingyu immediately gave up his shady thoughts and raised his head: "Sending troops?"
Chen Jinjun nodded solemnly: "Yes, send troops."
"I'm not joking with the commander."
Huo Tingyu saw her serious expression, thought for a few seconds, and nodded: "Give me a proper reason."
Chen Jinjun thought for a while: "Do you have a map here?"
Her expression was too serious, it must be something important. Huo Tingyu stood up directly: "Follow me."
He took Chen Jinjun to the military sand table room and said to Chen Jinjun: "What do you want?"
It is worth mentioning that the sand table here is several times larger than the one at Taipingshan Villa, and every mountain peak and even alleys are clearly visible.
