Su Jin returned to his residence. Comparatively speaking, he felt a lot more relaxed at the moment. At the very least, Song Xiang's suspicion was eliminated. As long as Song Xiang stood with him, this matter would be possible.
With the control of the Xiang soldiers in hand, he was not afraid of them causing trouble. The most lacking thing at the moment was evidence. Su Jin wanted to lead his troops immediately to seal off the two discovered granaries in Happy Valley and Liuzhier Alley in Dongcheng, but suddenly
Suddenly, Su Jin was a little undecided again.
In the past few days, he had sent people to investigate with great fanfare, and also used officers from the yamen. After learning about Feng Laohu's methods, Su Jin instinctively felt a little uneasy.
Would Feng Jingyao, who was able to weave such a large network with great concentration, easily let himself find out the location of the millions of grain warehouses? This is obviously illogical; and once he leads his troops to seal it, if nothing can be found out
, Feng Laohu would not hesitate to use the officials he controlled to attack him. Although he could not do anything to him, he would be passive and lose the initiative.
The best case scenario is that even if the granary is fake, I can make Feng Laohu think it is real, but I will not touch him. In this way, Feng Laohu will think that he has some scruples. Perhaps this is a way to confuse Feng Laohu;
Once you find out where the real granary is, you can catch him off guard.
The purpose of Su Jin's first trip to Beikou Sanli this morning was to identify the Hippodrome and Liuzhi'er Hutong as hiding places. According to the imperial edict, grain-harbouring households who have expired can choose to pay three hundred per stone.
Wen was selling grain to the officials at low prices; Su Jin originally wanted to coax and intimidate Feng Laohu into giving in, and took the initiative to agree; but now it seems that it was a mistake, and it was a wise move not to seal the granary directly, otherwise if a grain of grain was lost
If he cannot find out, Feng Laohu will take the opportunity to fight back, saying that he was wronged and he has no evidence in hand, so he will obviously be extremely passive.
But at this time, searching the granary is not the top priority. Obtaining the evidence of so-called rape and rape of women from good families written by officials is the first priority. If these evidence falls into their own hands, these officials will be their own.
chess piece, which will be of great use when the time comes, but it is extremely difficult to obtain these evidences.
Su Jin was thinking about a solution when Dynasty Mahan came in noisily from outside. After Su Jin came back in the morning, he changed his clothes and went out. The two of them didn't notice it because they didn't check for a while. It was Su Jin who deliberately avoided them.
With these two things, he always stood out. With his big shoulders, round chest and belly, it was really hard for him to hide himself.
The two searched everywhere, almost all over Yangzhou City, but could not find Su Jin. Finally, they remembered to go to Yuelai Inn, but they did not expect that Su Jin had already left. After having lunch at Yuelai Inn, the two of them hurriedly left.
On the way back, the two of them complained about each other. One said that the other's eyesight was not good and he lost the young master in front of his eyes, and the other scolded the other that his brain was not working well and did not immediately think of Yuelai Inn after losing it.
"Your brain is only qualified to pull people's carts and carry goods like that Chengnan Takejiro. You are a foodie, you will not be exhausted from doing such menial work." Chao Chao scolded.
"Hello... your eyes were also blinded by the big fish and meat. I just went to take a pee, and you lost the young master. Your tricks are so ineffective, why don't you go to the street to do it?"
If you go to a blind fortune teller, you won't starve to death." Ma Han refused to give in.
Su Jin watched the two people enter the door with a wry smile. When they saw Su Jin, they quickly shut up and came over with smiles: "Master, you don't say anything when you go out. It's so dangerous to go out alone."
Su Jin said angrily: "Is he made of paper and clay? Is he so easily plotted by others?"
Wang Chao apologized and said with a smile: "That's not true, but we have set a rule in the capital. No matter where I go, I must have at least two personal guards by my side. The young master is so alone, which makes us two very anxious."
"
Mahan's eyes widened and he nodded repeatedly: "Well, yes, we two brothers have searched for most of the city."
Su Jin sneered and said: "Now we are brothers again? We were scolding each other just now, and now we are wearing a pair of pants again?"
Ma Han smiled and said: "That's right, the two brothers have no overnight feud."
Chao Chao rolled his eyes at him and said, "Let's see what you can do. What kind of words can you use? It's because the husband and wife have no overnight feud."
Ma Han said angrily: "You are so capable, don't I know it?"
Su Jin saw the fighting started again and shouted: "Shut up, everyone. I have something to think about. If you make any noise, please go back to Luzhou."
The two of them quickly shut up, rolled their eyes at each other and remained silent.
Su Jin said slowly: "How do you know where Feng Laohu put the confessions written by the officials?"
Wang Chao blinked his eyes for a long time before saying, "I'm afraid only Feng Laohu knows this."
Ma Han sneered: "Nonsense, are you going to ask Feng Laohu, 'Hey, tell me where you put the evidence?'"
Wang Chao was about to retort when he suddenly saw Su Jin patting his thigh and saying: "Yes, Feng Laohu is so smart. He will definitely not tell others where he hides his things. I'm afraid he is the only one who knows, otherwise there will be many people who know.
If the officials don't do it, they will go to great lengths to report him, and I'm afraid he will still have to ask himself about this matter."
Ma Han said in astonishment: "How do you ask? With Feng Laohu's skill, the three of us are no match for him, and we may not be able to defeat him if we add three more. Besides, he is elusive. Even if we know that he is hiding three miles away from the north entrance, we will not be able to defeat him."
There is no way to attack him unless we send a large army to encircle and suppress him."
Su Jin spat and said: "How to encircle and suppress them? They are not bandits, so why should we go to encircle and suppress them? What happened in the morning has already been announced. If we do it again, I'm afraid it won't make a fuss and end up being a genius. Besides, they have five or six people.
Hundred disciples, what do we have in our hands? The one hundred and fifty horse troops are just tigers croaking and yawning, they look scary, don’t even think about counting on them."
Chao Chao said: "We have no choice but to wait for him to slip out of the order before we have a chance."
Su Jin thought deeply: "Not only will the order slip away, but also if you are unprepared, you need to find out his life patterns. How can you ask someone who is familiar with him to find out?"
Wang Chao whispered: "Don't you have a list in your hand? Quietly find an official to threaten him with this matter. Since they are so familiar with each other, they should be able to gain something."
Su Jin shook his head and said: "The idea is right, but we can't do this; first of all, we have no evidence, and Feng Laohu has a big handle on them. They are determined not to tell the truth, and we can't just threaten them without any evidence."
To them, this is equivalent to holding an imaginary knife against a person's neck and threatening to kill him. Do you think he can be afraid? Furthermore, these officials may not know Feng Laohu's life pattern.
The relationship is a secret underground relationship, and it is impossible to show such familiarity on the surface."
Mahan said: "Then grab someone close to him and ask him. That's okay."
Su Jin shook his head and said: "No, maybe it will make him sleepy. It would be better if this person is not his subordinate, but is familiar with him and knows some details of his life. Asking him will not alarm Feng Laohu."
"
Mahan of the Dynasty stared at him with big eyes and thought: Where can such a person come from?
Su Jin squinted and paced back and forth, then suddenly tilted his head and asked, "You just mentioned Wu Erlang? That man from Nancheng?"
Wang Chao said: "Yes, that night we went to Mr. Song's house with him, and he even ripped him off."
Su Jin's eyes lit up and he said: "I remember Wu Erlang said at that time that if I wanted to buy black market rice, I could just go to Beikou Sanli Hutong and report the name of a person." Su Jin frowned and thought hard, unable to think for a moment.
stand up.
"My name is Blind Third Master, he is Wu Erlang's boss." Ma Han said.
"Yes, it's the Blind Third Master." Su Jin said happily.
"Young Master wants to break into the bandits' den alone again?" Chao Chao said in shock, "It won't work this time. Feng Laohu knows you."
Su Jin said in astonishment: "When did I have to go to Beikou Sanli alone? Are you crazy?"
"Then why did you bring up the problem of the Third Blind Master? Didn't you want to pretend to buy rice to claim the name of the Third Blind Master?"
Su Jin sighed and said, "It's hard for me to explain to you based on your IQ."
Ma Han laughed heartily and said with pride and embarrassment: "Are you embarrassed? You are still pretending to be smart. It is obvious that the young master is going to find this blind third master to inquire about Feng Laohu's whereabouts. You don't even know such a simple thing.
.”
Su Jin smiled and said: "Ma Han was right this time. Then tell me why I chose this blind third master?"
Ma Han held his head high and said: "Because the third blind man is blind, and blind people can't see our faces, so we won't be exposed easily. It doesn't matter even if we can't ask, the third blind man doesn't know who we are."
Su Jin burst out laughing, and Ma Han said: "What, I was right."
Su Jin pointed at his nose and smiled: "Your IQ has no lower limit, you two are evenly matched." dd
