Su Jin used to go to bed late and was playing checkers with a few maids. Su Jin used a small hammer to smash out regularly arranged small pits on the round mahogany tray, and then painted it with five colors of red, yellow, blue, white and black.
, coupled with small glass balls dyed in the same color, a set of five-star checkers is completed.
Su Jin, Rou Niang, Huan Niang, Xiao Sui'er, Xiao Mi'er, there are exactly five of them together, and they can win a game at any time. This game is easy to get started, and you can play it successfully with just a sharp vision and a little calculation, so how many times do you have a good game?
I quickly became obsessed with this novel toy.
When the panting shopkeeper Zhao Da led Liu Dacheng to the Su Mansion, the chessboard was in a stalemate, with small balls of various colors entangled in the middle area inextricably.
The housekeeper Su Fu knocked on the door outside the hospital to announce. When Su Jin heard that shopkeeper Zhao Da had come to see him at such a late hour, he thought something important had happened, so he hurriedly called for him.
A few people settled down in the study room. After Rou Niang gave her some fragrant tea, she quietly left. Su Jin asked, "Big shopkeeper, Master Liu, you must have something important to say when you come so late."
Shopkeeper Zhao Dacheng had a worried look on his face and looked at each other. The two suddenly left their seats and prostrated, saying: "I am incompetent and have betrayed the trust of my young master. Please punish me."
Su Jin hurriedly pulled the two of them up and said, "What are you doing? If you have something to say, talk to me."
Shopkeeper Zhao Da said to Liu Dacheng: "Tell the young master's family what you have heard without hiding anything, and ask the young master's family to make a decision."
Only then did Liu Dacheng tell Su Jin everything he had seen and heard in the past few days. The more Su Jin listened, the more frightened he became. He knew that someone would be playing tricks on him secretly, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly, nor did he expect to use it.
I used the same old method of dealing with Su Moran to deal with me. It was hard to guard against house thieves during the day and at night. If there was a mole inside, it would be too easy to pull off evil tricks. Fortunately, it was discovered in time and it was not too late to remedy the situation.
Shopkeeper Zhao and Liu Dacheng followed Su Jin's pacing figure with their eyes. Su Jin's gloomy and serious face made the atmosphere in the room somewhat solid and suffocating.
Suddenly, Su Jin stopped and asked, "Does anyone else know about this?"
Shopkeeper Zhao said: "Except for the three of us, no one else knows."
A faint smile appeared on Su Jin's face, and her expression became cheerful. Zhao and Liu were confused. Is the young master laughing in anger?
"You have done a good job in this matter. You discovered it in time and handled it properly. Not only should you not be punished, but you should also be praised." Su Jin said with a smile.
"But... Young Master, Qin Dalang is a villain..." Liu Dacheng was a little uncomfortable with Su Jin's magnanimity.
Su Jin laughed loudly and said: "You don't have to put all the blame on yourself. According to what you just said, Qin Dalang was coerced into becoming a mole after entering Su Ji, which has nothing to do with you; moreover, Qin Dalang
The people behind him were calculated and unintentional. Even if there was no Qin Dalang, there would be other people who would be coerced and coerced. However, this Qin Dalang was a more suitable candidate. He had no relatives or dependents in Luzhou, and he was alone. In addition, he was impoverished.
A weak-tempered person is exactly what they are looking for; to put it bluntly, no one will ask about such a person even if they are silenced."
"What? Will you be silenced?" Shopkeeper Zhao and Liu Dacheng cried out.
Su Jin frowned and thought: "This possibility cannot be ruled out. You said that the man who met Qin Dalang called himself Scarface Black Seven. Is there such a person among the merchants in Luzhou City?"
Shopkeeper Zhao was well-informed, but after thinking hard, he said: "I don't have much impression, but the name is very familiar, so I can't remember it at the moment."
Su Jin was refreshed and inspired him: "Is it possible that this person once had a great reputation on the street or something, which is why you have such an impression?"
Shopkeeper Zhao lowered his head, his eyebrows and beard were wrinkled together, looking extremely painful. Seeing that he couldn't remember, Su Jin said, "Then don't worry about who this person is..."
Before he finished speaking, Shopkeeper Zhao shouted: "It's him..."
Su Jin hurriedly asked: "Do you remember who he is?"
Shopkeeper Zhao said doubtfully: "That's not right. Five years ago, we beheaded dozens of bandits in Shushan. Among them was a leader named Scarface Heiqi. When they were beheaded at Sanxiaokou, we all went to see them.
I saw the excitement and saw those gangsters being beheaded one by one. Why did a scar-faced Heiqi appear again?"
Su Jin hurriedly asked: "Did you clearly see the face of the beheaded person at that time?"
"They all have their hair disheveled and dirty, and they have cloth strips tied around their mouths, so they can't see clearly," Shopkeeper Zhao said.
Su Jin was silent. It was most likely that this was a contract swap, but this matter could only be speculated. If this matter was revealed, it would be a huge leak. He was a small businessman and could not leak this matter without real evidence.
Judging the case and supervising the beheading officer are often two different things. There are only two ways to prevent the supervising officer appointed by Yushitai from seeing any flaws when verifying his identity.
One is to change the identity after being identified. This is almost impossible, because the prisoner will only be identified when he is taken out of the prison before execution, and then he will be carried out all the way under the eyes of the prison officer and thousands of people along the street.
With the eyes of the two common people staring, there is no chance at all.
Then there is only one possibility: the execution officer has been bribed; the state government has the power to impose death sentences, but execution is the responsibility of the patrol envoy. Originally, the imperial court sent people to inspect hundreds of officials, patrol prefectures and counties, and inspect prisons.
, those who clean up the court rites and supervise the execution of prisoners can be bribed, which shows that this matter is absolutely unacceptable.
"Let's stop this matter. There is no need to talk about Scarface and Black Seven. Remember this!" Su Jin warned solemnly.
Shopkeeper Zhao Dacheng was mature and understood Su Jin's meaning after a little thought. He didn't want to think about it a second time, let alone say it out loud. Liu Dacheng didn't understand it at all, so he only agreed with a smile on his face.
Their expressions were not as solemn as those of Su Jin and Shopkeeper Zhao.
"The young master, please let me know how we should handle Qin Dalang's matter."
Su Jin said: "Don't scare the snake. Tomorrow, you have to pretend as if nothing has happened. Then if Qin Dalang inquires about the news again, don't tell others. You go tell him and let him report to the other party. You have to support him. I will be of great use."
Zhao and Liu couldn't figure out what Su Jin was thinking, and found that instead of uncovering the traitor, he was willing to talk to him. He knew everything he wanted to know, which was surprising.
"Is he really allowed to pass on all Su Ji's secrets? Doesn't he fall into the opponent's trick? Who knows if the person behind the scenes has other more sinister intentions?" Shopkeeper Zhao said.
"Of course you can't tell him everything, just pick some insignificant things to let him know. In short, you have to be careful and don't leave too many traces. I can't teach you this. Everything depends on you two. But we must prevent Qin Dalang from following him.
The contact with other guys may lead him to find out the real secret without others knowing about it.”
"Understood, Young Master." The two of them responded in unison. Although they could not guess what kind of medicine Su Jin was selling in the gourd, their worries were swept away by Su Jin's confident demeanor.
A smile appeared on Su Jin's face again and he said: "Master Liu handled the situation very well this time, but later told the waiter in the inn to shut up and pretended to be an official to handle the case, which was a bit superfluous; in this way, the people in the inn will definitely think that Qin Dalang is
A thief, the way he looks at him will look strange no matter how much he conceals it. Qin Dalang has a guilty conscience as a thief, so he must be extremely sensitive to these subtleties, and he will only frighten away the enemy."
Liu Dacheng said with shame: "What the young master said is that the villain is confused."
Su Jin said: "The only remedy is to arrange for Qin Dalang to move out of the inn early tomorrow morning and find a private house to settle in. He told him that because of his sexual behavior, Su Ji will pay his rent. There must be people next door and opposite to the private house who are not familiar with Qin Dalang.
Our people will monitor him, so that Qin Dalang's every move will be under control, and at the same time, there will be no need for people at the inn to arouse suspicion."
Liu Dacheng praised: "Shaodong's family has a great idea. I will go and do it early tomorrow morning. There are many houses like this."
Su Jin picked up the tea cup and took a sip, and the two resigned and left the house.
Su Jin sat in the study and thought carefully for a long time. Xiao Sui'er yawned and came to remind her several times before going back to her room to sleep.dd
