Time passed by more than half a month, and Lin Haoming calculated that Tie Chengye and the others were almost back. However, the people from the workshop were back, but the money to start the work was not ready yet, which made Lin Haoming somewhat embarrassed.
Although Feng Yuzhi had a plan, Lin Haoming still didn't want to use what she proposed. Even Feng Yuzhi himself felt that it was better not to use it until it was absolutely necessary.
I had a meal with Feng Yuzhi at noon, and when I returned to the Chengdu Yamen in the afternoon, as soon as I walked through the gate, Pan Yue hurried over and said, "Sir, you are back!"
Seeing her anxious look, Lin Haoming couldn't help but frown and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Something happened. The people in the workshop encountered the Red Flame Army on the way. Many craftsmen died. In the end, only a dozen people ran back to the city!" Pan Yue said.
"What? Is Tie Chengye okay?" Lin Haoming was also shocked when he heard the news.
"It's okay, they came here immediately as soon as they entered the city. I originally planned to go to the city guard's mansion to find you!" Pan Yue said.
"Where are they?" Lin Haoming asked.
"Heal your wounds in the side hall!" Pan Yue said.
Lin Haoming immediately ran to the side hall, and sure enough he saw Tie Chengye and a dozen people sitting here. Several of them were still injured, and someone was bandaging them.
"Brother Tie, why are you like this?" Lin Haoming came to Tie Chengye and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he was okay.
Although Tie Chengye was fine, his face was very ugly and he said: "Prisoner Lincheng! The area around Chigang City is too chaotic. Some people in our workshop dare to attack."
"Do you know who did it?" Lin Haoming asked.
"I don't know, but even if I don't know, I can guess that there is no one else capable of doing this near Chigang City except the Red Flame Army. More than 800 people surrounded us and more than 100 people chased us fiercely.
, I almost lost my life." Tie Chengye said with some annoyance. After all, he was on the line between life and death, and even Tie Chengye couldn't control his temper.
Hearing what Tie Chengye said, Lin Haoming immediately asked Mei Sheng to bring over the portraits of several leaders of the Red Flame Army, including Chang Zhongmou, and show them to Tie Chengye and others.
As soon as the portrait was brought over, these dozen people pointed at the portrait and started yelling. It was obvious that it was the Red Flame Army who attacked them.
Before, Lin Haoming had some doubts as to why the Red Flame Army would attack them, and whether it was framed by someone. But looking at the angry look on their faces, he knew that it was indeed the Red Flame Army that did this, but why did the Red Flame Army attack them?
Aren't you afraid of revenge?
After thinking about it, Lin Haoming felt that someone might have leaked his plan to attack the Red Flame Army. As for the channel of leakage, Lin Haoming thought of Mei Sheng and the Gao family.
Unexpectedly, before he could attack them, they would attack him first. Lin Haoming couldn't help feeling angry.
After stabilizing Tie Chengye and others, letting them rest and recover from their injuries, he walked towards the back office.
Although Hongmei's limbs were broken, she almost recovered in less than a month under Shu Siyue's care.
Now she can walk slowly in the yard.
Although the courtyard is not big, it is very clean and very suitable for recuperation. Although Lin Haoming rarely comes here, it can be seen that it is very good for Chunmei to live in such a courtyard.
When she walked to the corner and saw a small cluster of stones surrounding a flowerbed, Chunmei thought for a while, squatted down, and wanted to lift a piece to see how her hands were recovering.
But just when she exerted her strength and lifted the stone half a foot, she felt her hands still hurt, forcing her to let go immediately.
The stone rolled down from the hand and soon reached the feet, but it was not Hongmei's feet.
"Sir!" Looking up at the visitor, Hongmei immediately rubbed her hands, as if she had done something wrong.
"Your hands and feet were severely broken before. Although the medicine Siyue gave you is good and will not leave any hidden dangers, your body still needs to rest for a while, so don't force yourself!" Lin Haoming explained softly.
"Yes, thank you sir. Sir, are you looking for me at this time?" Hongmei asked carefully.
"I do have something to ask you. You said before that you have things that were moved to Gao's house. Where are these things?" Lin Haoming asked.
"Sir, I thank you for saving my life, but those things are also very important to me. I want to hand them over to you at a more appropriate time!" Hongmei gritted her teeth and refused.
Lin Haoming looked at Hongmei, who seemed to be a little afraid of him. He did not continue to ask, but instead asked: "You should have read those things carefully, right? Is there anything related to Chang Zhongmou in them?"
"Chang Zhongmou, is that the leader of the Red Flame Army?" Hongmei asked.
"Yes!" Lin Haoming nodded.
"Yes, Chang Zhongmou was actually someone deliberately raised by the Gao family!" Hongmei said.
When Lin Haoming heard this, he also felt horrified. He just wanted Shu Siyue to discuss the matter, and asking Hongmei was just a matter of care. He didn't expect such a response.
"Are you sure?" Lin Haoming still didn't believe it.
"I'm sure that Chang Zhongmou has a very close relationship with the Gao family. Of course, this is just a bit of information I got, and it's not accurate. I have the account books of the Gao family's transactions with him. Although they are copied, they are definitely not accurate.
There will be mistakes, Chang Zhongmou will give the Gao family a large amount of money every ten years, before the Red Flame Army officially appeared, and it will be the same after that." Hongmei said.
After hearing this, as long as what Hongmei said was not false, Lin Haoming could be sure that the reason why Chang Zhongmou intercepted and killed the people in the workshop was because of Gao Liangsheng's attention.
At this time, Lin Haoming felt that Gao Liangsheng was not simple. Compared with Gao Liangyu, he was just a smiling tiger.
"How did you get the account book? Even if it was copied, how did a maid get it?" Lin Haoming asked, obviously still wary of Hongmei.
"Gao Liangyu has been in charge of the accounts before. This man is greedy, lustful and shameless to the extreme. The young lady is obviously her daughter, and he wants to get her attention. If the young lady is not of high value, I am afraid she has been ruined by him, but still
Because of this, I noticed that there was a ledger in his hand. Of course, I didn't think it was a ledger at first. It wasn't until he was looking for a woman in the dark that I sneaked into his room and discovered that it was a ledger." Hongmei.
said.
"Is it that simple?" Lin Haoming couldn't believe it!
Hongmei was a little dissatisfied and said: "It's that simple. After I knew the location of the account book, I deliberately established a good relationship with the maid who cleaned his house. I drugged her several times to make her appear to be sick. Then I used the excuse of helping her clean the house.
Enter Gao Liangyu's room and carefully extract the ledger."
