Chapter 228： Hikijaide Cave

Chapter 228 Leading the snake out of the hole

Sitting in the county government all afternoon, watching the people under his command come back one after another, Lin Jinxiao gradually felt uneasy.

Chu Nanzhi went to the south of the city to investigate the abandoned salt well, he probably guessed that this woman must have some important clues, and last night when the person monitoring Chen Wu found that she had gone to Kang Mingtang's house, he already guessed that there would be someone It was not good for her, so all the available government servants were sent there, just to wipe out Kang Mingtang's gang.

Right now, the two groups of killers in Kang Mingtang have been taken down, but the hidden group of people has not yet shown up.

Now that Kang Mingtang has been arrested, this group of people is at the end of their rope, and they will probably bite people like vicious dogs.

My own lady made her own decision to let the people sent out come back one after another, which made him a little annoyed.

Although he was still angry about what happened last night, he was restless whenever he thought of the danger he might encounter.

Regardless of whether she has herself in her heart or not, it is an indisputable fact that she is the mother of four children, and no matter what, she must not be allowed to make any mistakes.

Thinking of this, Lin Jinxiao stood up slowly, shouted towards the government office, and saw Guan Erbai hurried in after a while.

Lin Jinxiao thought about it and asked, "Has Li Sanlang returned from Qinyuan Village?"

Guan Erbai shook his head, hesitantly said: "Send someone to check?"

"Need not."

Presumably Chen Wu noticed something and ran away, Lin Jinxiao was suspicious in his heart.

It was just right, he stretched his eyebrows and looked at Guan Erbai: "How many people have returned from the county government office?"

Guan Erbai thought for a while: "Only the people under my sister-in-law have come back, and there are thirty or forty people who can be used."

"Enough is enough."

Lin Jinxiao called Guan Erbai to him, and said in a low voice, "I'm going out for a while. You change all the brothers under your command into the plainclothes they had when they got back, and disperse them in the city, and then ask someone to recall the brothers who were arrested in the west of the city. , don't let people notice."

"it is good."

Guan Erbai understood and immediately went out to prepare for things.

After Lin Jinxiao explained, he already guessed that the matter about Kang Mingtang must have been exposed, and Chen Wu became alert.

I'm afraid that the person sent to monitor him has been killed.

At present, the hidden forces in the city are still unclear. Chen Wu has escaped from his surveillance.

Looks like it's time to close the net.

Two days of separate interrogation of the guards and all the files reviewed are enough to infer the result he wanted.

Walking thoughtfully on crutches, he walked to the back hall, and saw Sibao Lin Ruijia was wiping his small eyes sleepily, and Liu Shuyang was still sleeping naively.

Lin Jinxiao picked up a cane and tapped on the little son-in-law, who immediately woke up, touched the drool dripping from the corner of his mouth, looked at Lin Jinxiao with a face of fear, and asked blankly, "Brother-in-law, what happened? "

Looking at his hopeless look, Lin Jinxiao sighed helplessly, "You take the four treasures to Mr. Hu's for dinner, and I'll pick up your elder sister."

"you?"

Liu Shuyang couldn't believe it: "Brother-in-law, eldest sister can come back by herself, you still"

"Don't talk too much."

Lin Jinxiao said solemnly.

Chu Nanzhi's return today is a critical moment to turn the case around. He can't let her bear this risk alone. If he wants to completely draw out the hidden forces behind him, he has to throw out the biggest bait in the city.

Walking to Sibao, he sat next to the little guy, and said in a gentle voice: "Sibao, if it's too late, Dad and Aniang haven't come back, you can go back to the post house with Master Hu and let Uncle take you to rest. "

"Father, my uncle and I are not going anywhere, we will just wait here for your return."

Sibao took his big hand, although he was a little worried, but he didn't dare to make any more trouble.

"Good boy."

Lin Jinxiao stroked the little guy's chin in relief, got up calmly and took the sword, threw away the cane, and walked lightly towards the county government office step by step.

Seeing that he was going to go out, Tan Miao immediately greeted him happily: "Master Lin, where are you going? Seeing that all the servants in Luyan Port have gone out, I will let you accompany me."

Lin Jinxiao turned his head and smiled slightly: "Alright."

Tan Miao found that he was only carrying the sword, but without the previous crutch, and asked worriedly, "Master Lin, what's your leg?"

"It's nothing serious, it's just for outsiders to see."

Lin Jinxiao deliberately stepped on more steadily, Tan Miao couldn't help frowning, and couldn't figure out whether this guy was okay or not.

Tan Miao looked at him with a smile, and said: "The lowly post asked some people to protect your lord's safety. The city is in chaos right now. How many people might want to murder your lord?"

"no need."

Lin Jinxiao replied calmly: "Li Sanlang went to arrest Chen Wu and has not returned yet. I was worried that that guy would escape, so I specially asked Guan Erbai to take people out of the city to arrest him. The county government is not full of people right now, so I took him with him." Just go with the four guards at the gate."

"I see."

Tan Miao nodded suddenly, no wonder Guan Erbai just looked at Guan Erbai with a mysterious face, and hurried out.

Looking at Lin Jinxiao's calm posture, Tan Miao said worriedly: "Although Kang Mingyuan is in prison now, there are still many minions hidden behind him, and I don't know how many hidden forces there are. I'm afraid they will take the opportunity to be unfavorable to Mr. Lin, but the original yamen servants in the Yamen have a few confidantes, so why not bring them along to ensure the safety of Mr. Lin."

"Director Tan is very concerned about the safety of this official."

Lin Jinxiao couldn't help but sneered.

"That is, if your lord is murdered in this county, although the lowly position is light, you still have an unshirkable responsibility."

Tan Miao replied with a sincere face.

"I appreciate Master Tan's kindness."

Lin Jinxiao waved to several Luyan Port yamen guards at the gate: "Go to the south gate."

Several yamen servants were in charge of monitoring Tan Miao. After hearing Lin Jinxiao's words, they immediately went to bring the horse over and helped them mount it.

It was in the evening when a group of people walked slowly on the cold street. The afterglow of the setting sun fell on the river in the city, reflecting the golden brilliance, which contrasted with the pedestrians wandering around in the forest. The already depressed Haikang County looks even more lonely.

"Today's county town is a bit terribly quiet."

Lin Jinxiao secretly sighed in his heart, couldn't help but tighten the reins, held the sword in his hand and gave a soft shout to the sitting horse, and sped up his speed a little. The crisp sound of the horse's hooves broke the tranquility of the street, and drifted slowly towards the south of the city.

Lin Jinxiao kept looking around with erratic gaze, being on guard.

Not long after, entering the bustling south of the city, he suddenly reined in the horse and slowed down the horse's walking speed.

Seeing that they had reached the gate in the south of the city, they didn't notice anything unusual, the two stopped their horses, Tan Miao breathed a sigh of relief, looked sideways at Lin Jinxiao with a complicated expression, and asked cautiously, "Master, do you want to leave the city? "

"Need not."

Lin Jinxiao looked at the familiar carriage in the distance, the worry in his eyes immediately faded away, and a look of joy appeared on his face.

Tan Miao followed his eyes and couldn't help being surprised and said, "It seems to be Mrs. Chu's carriage."

As soon as he finished speaking, a few burly men suddenly rushed out of the surging crowd, swarming towards them.

The group of strong men approached unscrupulously while quickly pulling up the veil in front of them to cover their faces, so frightened that Tan Miao immediately rode his horse and ran towards the city wall to hide.

Lin Jinxiao's deep eyes slanted towards the strong man approaching, unhurriedly dismounted, drew out a cold sword and swung it at the two oncoming people.

Two cold lights flashed, and the big knife in the hands of the two suddenly snapped in two.

The two of them were in astonishment when they saw the sharp blade passing by without any hesitation.

Lin Jinxiao raised his sword and continued to move towards the carriage as if he didn't see it. Behind him, a group of black plainclothes surrounded him from all directions, fighting with the masked strong man. For a while, the sound of clashing swords and guns resounded throughout the south of the city.
