Chapter 144: The Hidden Gang
"The head of the house, ma'am, is small and useless."
"This time, I went out with a few brothers to track down the man in black, but when I discovered the whereabouts of the other party, I accidentally fell into the trap arranged by the other party, and several brothers were killed."
"I also escaped through a lot of difficulties."
"Okay, okay, don't talk for now, then take this medicine, put it in your mouth first, slowly melt it, and then we'll ask you a few questions. All you have to do is nod or shake your head. ”
The master looked at him, but after only a few words, his face quickly turned pale.
Worried that if he continued like this, the life he had finally picked up would have to be confessed, so he hurriedly walked to his side.
Qiu Yan and the others took a deep breath, glanced at each other, and asked the man in front of them thoughtfully.
"You just follow what the master said, tell me that the dark lines and the like prepared by the people we arranged here have been targeted, haven't they? Someone came at us on purpose this time, right? ”
The man nodded vigorously, his eyes full of panic.
"Then this matter is strange, although there were people who deliberately dealt with us before, but on the prince's side, with General Wang as a containment, he should not be so eager to attack us now."
"In other words, the trap you accidentally stepped into was basically set by the black one, right?"
The man nodded again, and Qiu Yan struck while the iron was hot, and immediately asked.
"Did you see the man in black?"
The man shook his head, and the master also touched his chin, and his expression became a little solemn.
"If that's the case, I'm afraid things will be a little troublesome."
"Since the man in black was chased and lost by them, he must have chosen a safer place to hide now, the enemy is in the dark, we are in the light, the situation is a little bad for you!"
"Yes, and according to our arrangement, we have to leave tomorrow, and now that something like this has happened suddenly, do we have to delay for two more days?"
After speaking, Qiu Yan looked at Lu Chiye worriedly.
Seeing that the spirit of the man in front of him was getting worse and worse, he hurriedly let him rest here first, and let the master help watch him by the side, Lu Chiye and Qiu Yan left the room together.
As he walked, he discussed with her.
"It is very likely that the man in black is not the prince's subordinate at all, and it is estimated that he is from another organization."
"That's it, let's not be busy leaving tomorrow, let's go to my father-in-law and ask if anything happened here before, it's too late now, so don't bother his old man."
"Okay, then I'll explain to the people under me first, don't startle the snake for the time being."
After speaking, Qiu Yan and the two returned to the room.
Thinking about what happened just now, I was a little anxious, tossing and turning, and I didn't fall asleep for a long time.
On the second day, as soon as the sky was bright, I couldn't wait to wash up, and after that, I ran all the way to the county magistrate's office.
As soon as he entered the door, he asked the little guy to call the Qiu County Order.
After dragging him all the way to the study and briefly explaining what happened last night, Qiu Yan immediately asked him.
"Father, I would like to ask, in the entire history of Qiguang Mansion, have there been any extremely vicious people, and are there any records about those people on your side? Can you show us? ”
"Or is there any notorious gang that has been tracked or something?"
"I know, you come with me to take a look, all the files are here over the years, I'll help you find them."
Qiu County Ling also knew that this matter was extremely important, and hurriedly took Qiu Yan and the two of them to another heavily protected data room.
After that, he unfolded several files in front of them and said solemnly.
"You see, I'm here for you to guard, but since I've been the prefectural governor here, I don't seem to have noticed anything particularly troublesome, and the adults above haven't told me."
"But what happened to us this time is really troublesome!"
"According to the information brought back by our men, the people who seriously injured them in the back really don't look like a makeshift team, but rather like people who are extremely experienced and know how to deal with such an emergency." Qiu Yan's brows furrowed tightly.
With the help of the Qiu County Order, after carefully reading all the files here, I finally found a suspicious gang.
However, according to the records in the dossier, those people were just doing business in Qiguang Mansion and then using it to deceive.
However, after the deception was successful, he had already fled and could not be found, and there was only a record of a gang on it.
As for how many people there are on the other side, what each person looks like, and so on, there is little known about it.
The three of them glanced at each other, and a hint of panic flashed in their eyes.
If these people can still get away with a big crime, there are only two possibilities.
The first is that there is a strong protective umbrella behind them, which erases all the criminal acts behind them.
Second, and what they fear the most, those people are so clever that even the local officials can't help them.
After thinking for a while, Lu Chiye suddenly had a bold guess.
Thinking that there were no outsiders here, he took the initiative to come next to Qiu Yan and the two of them and said.
"I'm wondering if that gang of cheaters didn't leave at all, maybe after my father-in-law took office, every scam that happened here was planned by the same guys."
"And the number of this gang is estimated to be no less, every time the gang commits a crime, it will choose different people to go out in person, and in the process of collecting wool, it should choose the most dangerous place."
"When I get it, I get the remote location of Qiguang Mansion, and I feel that it is the safest, and at the same time, it is not easy to be found."
"Yes, I also think what my husband said is very reasonable, and father, you see, according to the records on this file, we don't know anything about their age and appearance."
"Catching them is like looking for a needle in a haystack! That's a lot of trouble! ”
Qiu Xian Ling listened to what the two said, slammed his fist on the table, and said with some annoyance.
"Before, I was indeed a little careless, so do you two have any countermeasures now? If there really is such a dangerous gang lurking in the Qiguang Mansion, then the people of Dawn are likely to encounter a great crisis! ”
"Don't worry, let's sit down and discuss it carefully." Lu Chiye hurriedly said.
After receiving Qiu Yan's help and having someone in his hand who listened to his orders and did things for him, Qiu Xian Ling also became a little more hardened than before.
Besides, his nature is actually quite good, but because Cao Xinfeng is too strong, and he doesn't want to meet a woman in general, he has been pressed by her.
But outside, he is still a good official who is willing to think about the people, and his image among the people is very good.
Therefore, after listening to Qiu Yan's suggestions, I carefully discussed them with them.
According to the pitiful records on this dossier, it is intended to be secretly and used in a carpet search.
And according to the information brought by the people who came to report to them and said that they had been deceived before, they all integrated it to see if there were any similarities in the location of the group of people.
After discussing it, they divided their troops into two ways.
Qiu County Ling arranged for his subordinates to go to the homes of the people at dawn to search for thieves under the guise of carefully investigating to see if there were any people who were born in Qiguang Mansion.
As for Qiu Yan's side, they arranged a dark line and tried their best to arrest them in secret.
However, although Lu Chiye has reminded them as much as possible that they must protect themselves and never have a hard time with each other, there will still be bad news every day.
"It's been three days in a row, have we been targeted by someone hiding in the shadows?" Qiu Yan was anxious.
Looking at the sacrificed subordinate who had been carried away, I was extremely anxious.
During these days, the master's brows have not been loosened.
Even if his medical skills are quite skillful, the people who escaped after a lot of hard work are basically seriously injured, and they only take their last breath, just wanting to bring back news to Qiu Yan and them.
The master didn't have time to diagnose and give them medicine, and they were already dying.
If this continues, how many people will they have to lose?
"The one just now still hasn't been saved, how many people have you arranged to go out this time? If this continues, I'm afraid the people in your hands won't last for two days! "The master was a little irritable.
For such an important matter, why didn't the imperial court arrange for someone to come over to help?
If this is the case, I am afraid that the entire Qiguang Mansion will become a purgatory on earth!
"We don't know what to do, and like you said, the other party is in the shadows, and we can't find anyone at all." Lu Chiye only felt a chill in his back.
As he spoke, he and Qiu Yan held each other's hands tightly.
After two consecutive times, several people finally escaped.
After being drugged by the master, when they sat on the bed with bandages wrapped all over their bodies, they lowered their heads in front of Qiuyan and them with a sad face, and replied.
"Master, ma'am, the reason why we were able to escape death this time is because ...... It's because there are brothers who cover us, but our brothers ...... I'm afraid it won't work. ”
"We all know, okay, don't talk so much, the most important thing is that you take care of your injuries, and when you heal your injuries and find out who is behind the scenes, you can take revenge on them as much as you want."
Qiu Yan exhaled and lowered his head in pain.
After all, the people who were arranged out this time were all carefully cultivated by them for a long time, not to mention the huge manpower and material resources that were spent.
As long as she thinks of her subordinates who have always been loyal, she is still quite uncomfortable when she is unknowingly cleaned up like this.
"Yes, please give us a chance, and when we recover, we must kill the enemy and avenge our brother!"
