Lin Xi's brows furrowed. Heng Rongchang's ability was indeed greater than he had guessed. However, Song Chengpeng was forced to such an extent by him to say such a thing. The water in this was probably higher than he expected.
Deeper.
"What's his name, and what case is he reporting?" He looked at Song Chengpeng, who had a stern voice, and looked into Song Chengpeng's eyes and asked.
"You have to understand that we are just businessmen, not police officers." Song Chengpeng looked at Lin Xi, who was invulnerable to water and fire, and said coldly: "We just found out that someone happened to see this person go to Qinghe Town to report the case.
, As for what case was reported, couldn’t you investigate it yourself?”
Lin Xi raised her head slightly and said, "Song Guandai seems to have a deep meaning in his words, but he still conceals many things that should be said."
Song Chengpeng's face darkened and he did not say anything else, but repeated again: "We are just businessmen. We must not touch things that we cannot and should not mess with."
Lin Xi glanced at Song Chengpeng and everyone around him, and asked calmly: "What is the most important thing in the Yun Qin Code?"
Before Song Chengpeng could speak, he replied: "Human life is the most important."
"Business money is not as important as human life." Lin Xi said seriously and calmly: "So when Yun Qin Lu Huang personally broke the law, he was guilty of the same crime as the common people. In this murder case, it is the duty of ordinary businesses to cooperate with the investigation.
, you will feel that it is appropriate to stay for a few days, but just because you are Hengrongchang, the largest trading company on the Xizi River, and it is precisely because you are big and have everything under control that you are arrogant. You will be arrogant when you meet me like this.
Feeling angry.”
Song Chengpeng looked at Lin Xi and said coldly: "It's a good saying that the royal family members who break the law are guilty of the same crime as the common people. I hope you can really do what you say."
Lin Xi nodded and said, "I will do it."
Although his voice was still low when he said this, the calmness and firmness in his tone made many people on the two boats look solemn, and some strange feelings suddenly appeared in their hearts that were originally filled with anger.
…
Lin Xi jumped back into Mr. Zhang's small boat holding a pole.
The boat slipped out silently and disappeared into the darkness.
The people on Hengrongchang's boat saw Lin Xi's skills and the two large wooden boxes he was carrying, but they did not see that it was the Dragon King on the river who was holding the boat for him in the dark night.
…
…
It was already late at night, and the lights were still brightly lit in a small courtyard hall in Sanli Alley. Several people were sitting in silence, and the atmosphere seemed a bit depressing.
Mr. Zhang opened the door and walked in. Everyone inside stood up and bowed to Mr. Zhang.
"Second brother, where is Mr. Lin? Fourth brother is still being detained in the small building near the river."
After the salute, a stout man wearing yellow cloth and wearing straw sandals among the group of people spoke out first.
This is Master Zhen, the fifth master among Master Zhang, Fourth Master Zhu, Fifth Master Zhen and Liu Qiye. He originally had some other business outside, but when something like this happened today, he rushed back immediately.
"He has come back with me to do some errands."
Mr. Zhang nodded calmly, glanced calmly at the few people present, and asked slowly: "Have we had a lot of storms on the Xizi River in recent years? How did we get here?"
Several people present were waiting for Mr. Zhang to come back and take over the overall situation. But when they heard him suddenly say this, they suddenly felt shocked. There seemed to be an air-conditioning coming out of the dull hall.
"The storms on the Xizijiang River have been very strong in recent years. We relied on our brothers to work together to get through it."
However, Mr. Zhang continued to speak. He took a step forward, walked in front of one person, and said: "Zheng Sanlu, although we are just shrimps and crabs in this river and cannot be on the table, at least we are what we eat, brother."
We can eat whatever we want, and the fact that you are sitting here today means that we truly treat you as our brothers and sisters. Why do you think we are not as good as others?"
This person was the middle-aged man in blue shirt who looked like the accountant who met Pu Feng that day. Pu Feng was beside him at this moment. Hearing Mr. Zhang’s words, everyone’s expressions changed drastically. Pu Feng
Feng's face suddenly turned livid, and his eyes were fixed on the middle-aged man in blue shirt.
The middle-aged man in blue shirt who looked like a cashier was silent for a moment, lowered his head slightly and said, "How did you know it was me?"
Mr. Zhang looked at the middle-aged man in green shirt and said: "I can't move around anymore in the past two years, so I have more time to think about some things, and I have more time to check some things. You can go there these days.
The number of visits to that small wine shop is a bit too much, but I don’t want to doubt you without reason."
The middle-aged man in blue shirt was silent for another moment, bowed to Mr. Zhang, and said: "Second brother, although you have the title of Dragon King, the other person is a real dragon crossing the river. I have seen us shrimps
The fate of crabs is that they cannot just sit and wait for death."
No one else made a sound, and the entire hall became even colder.
Mr. Zhang nodded and said, "I respect your choice, but you also know our rules."
The middle-aged man in green shirt turned slightly pale and said, "Brother, please spare my life."
Mr. Zhang pondered slightly and said, "Okay."
The middle-aged man in blue shirt saluted again and said: "The person responsible for the assassination today is a person from Yingoufang." After saying this, his expression became calmer and asked: "I heard that my second brother was chasing me with a pole today. I don't know.
How is the funeral? Have you seen Mr. Xu?"
"Lin Tizhao and I brought back a young man in brocade clothes from Yanlai Town. His eyes were a little narrow and his face was arrogant." Mr. Zhang looked at the middle-aged man in green clothes and said, "Is this man the Mr. Xu you mentioned?
"
The middle-aged man in green shirt nodded and said: "That is him. He is the boss behind Yin Gou Fang. Yin Gou Fang...should have military background."
"military?"
As soon as they heard these two words, the expressions of Mr. Zhang and the other people around him immediately turned cold.
…
The small building near the river is brightly lit.
Lin Xi's boss, Lien Zhanshan, and several military officials under Governor Dong of Donggang Town were all on the riverside platform in front of this small building.
Lying on the platform were three cold corpses clothed in black water.
Hearing that the new arrester had been assassinated, the townspeople who came over had already surrounded the small building with more and more people.
In this day, Lin Xi has gained a good reputation among the townspeople, and for the vast majority of the townspeople, only officials who truly serve the people and dare to be enemies of certain forces are likely to encounter such a situation.
assassination, so most of the townspeople were really worried about Lin Xi's safety.
Lien Zhanshan and several officials looked very ugly.
They knew that Lin Xi was safe and sound, but until now, she still hadn't come back or appeared.
Du Weiqing, Liang Sansi and other detectives were also maintaining order with some soldiers outside the small building, preventing others from approaching the small building.
At this moment, both of them were in very complicated moods. They were shocked that someone was assassinating and arresting people openly, and they also checked them immediately. Judging from the size of those people, the water on their bodies and some traces of fierce fighting,
These assassins are not ordinary fish in the rivers and lakes, but real fierce and fierce murderers.
In this way, they might not be able to deal with the murderer one on one, but three corpses were left on the scene.
This young man actually has such ability?
But since so many thugs could be dispatched to assassinate and arrest those who were arrested, they must not be ordinary people. Can Lin Xi cope with it?
Suddenly, a dark-faced porter squeezed over, as if he wanted to force his way in to take a look. Just when Du Weiqing reached out to stop him, a paper roll was stuffed into his hand.
Du Weiqing froze slightly, looked around and found that no one was paying attention. He whispered to Liang Sansi that he had to go for a while and squeezed out of the crowd.
After reading the writing clearly in the dim moonlight in a deserted place, he hesitated slightly, then ran wildly along the alley and ran to a riverside.
There is a boat on the riverside.
There was a speedboat like a dragon boat, with twelve black-faced men holding oars on it. Their upper bodies were bare, and the skin on their bodies was as black as if it had been smeared with black oil, making it shiny.
Du Weiqing got on the boat, and the speedboat suddenly shot up on the water at a speed faster than King Zhang Long himself drove the boat, heading towards Qinghe Town, which was still above Yanlai Town.
…
Donggang Town, a remote and simple stone house.
The young man in Jinyi looked sarcastically at Lin Xi, who was quietly thinking about something, and said, "You brought me back from Yanlai Town just to make me sit here with you?"
"At least even if you don't tell me, I already know that you are the boss of Yingoufang." Lin Xi looked at the young man in Jinyi and said, "I just still can't figure it out. You are so smart, but you just want to put the blame on someone."
Fourth Master Zhu, if you ask me to pull out this nail for you, there is no way you can cause such a big battle."
"As long as there is a real loss of life, this case will be very involved." After a slight pause, Lin Xi looked at the young man in Jinyi and then asked: "But those assassins should really want to get rid of me, but here I am
I just can’t figure it out...why is this?"
The young man in Jinyi looked at the sky outside, yawned a little tiredly, and said mockingly: "What does this have to do with me? Anyway, you have been waiting in this room for so long, thinking about it for so long, and thinking of this
It's almost daylight outside... If you are interested, you can think about it slowly. I just hope that your immediate bosses outside who are waiting for you to show up are as interested as you, and have the same patience and good temper."
"Just as I don't like you, I don't like them either. So the more impatient and bad-tempered they are, the happier I am." After Lin Xi said this, she seemed to hear some noise, and something appeared in her eyes.
With an expectant look, he turned to look at the door of this stone house.
With a soft "creak" sound, the door of this stone house was pushed open.
A dark-muscled man walked in quickly, covered in moisture and mist. I don't know if it was the water vapor on the river or the sweat on his body.
He bowed to Lin Xi and handed a small cowhide scroll to Lin Xi.
Lin Xi just looked at it carefully, then stood up, took a deep breath, turned to look at the young man in Jinyi, with an unprecedented chilling aura on his body, and said: "This thing comes from Qinghe Town
…I’ve figured it all out now, so I don’t have to wait anymore.”
After saying this, he directly lifted the collar of the young man in Jinyi with a sneer on his face, and with the other's look of shock, anger and disbelief, he pushed the young man in Jinyi out of the stone house.
, pushed him so hard that he lost his balance and stumbled to the ground.
Lin Xi then walked out of the stone house.
It was sunrise at this time, and a red sun slowly rose on the river with a bright light.
