East Factory Governor

Chapter 297 New Clues

Qin Shuhuai looked at Zheng Zhidong gloomyly, and said, "You old fox, you really don't cry when you see the coffin. Let me tell you, I know a lot more than you think! If you want to live, you'd better give it to me honestly." I recruited it. Do you know who I hate the most? The person I hate the most is the person who blocks my money! If you block my money, I will kill you!"

Zheng Zhidong looked at Qin Shuhuai tremblingly, thinking who is this person?Why do you say that this case is related to his financial resources?After much deliberation, he couldn't figure it out, but after another thought, no matter whether he was asking for money or what purpose, in short, the most important thing now is to survive.As long as you are alive, you can say anything!
So he immediately said, "You good man, just ask, I will answer honestly, there will be no half-truth, I guarantee it with my head."

Qin Shuhuai said, "Well, I'll give you one last chance. Let me ask you, why the Zhao family was wiped out?"

Zheng Zhidong's Adam's apple twitched, shivering for a long time, and finally said, "What is the specific reason and who did it? I really don't know if I'm not a small person. But I heard that Mr. Zhao is very unruly when doing business in Ningbo." He is very courageous, he dared to do things that others dare not do, so he offended many people. It is said that he also offended Mr. Li, the prefect of Ningbo, and naturally he couldn't get along anymore, so he had to sue his old man and go back to Yangzhou."

Qin Shuhuai couldn't help being taken aback, "Huh? He wants to do business abroad, and it's too late to establish a good relationship with the magistrate. How could he fall out with the magistrate?"

"This little one really doesn't know."

Hua Chen came up again and yelled, "You dog official, you still seem to be dishonest! Come on, let me roast your other hand too!"

Zheng Zhidong shouted immediately when he heard it, "What I said is true, it is true! By the way, I heard that Mr. Zhao still has a son who is still in Ningbo Mansion, he must know what happened! If he has not been arrested Kill, you can ask him!"

Qin Shuhuai was overjoyed and said, "He still has a son? What's his name and where is it?"

"His name is Zhao Xinian, and I don't know where he is. To be honest, if even the young one knew where he was, he would have been killed long ago."

Qin Shuhuai thought about it, and he was right.Since the mastermind behind the scenes wanted to kill Mr. Zhao's family, they naturally wouldn't let Zhao Xinian go.If this Zhao Xinian hadn't been killed, he must have gone into hiding by now.

After asking for a long time, I finally found a valuable clue.

So he continued to ask, "Then he was killed this time, why didn't you investigate in detail as the judge of Yangzhou? Did someone instruct you to do this?"

Zheng Zhidong said with a bitter face, "This good man, as a young judge in Yangzhou, why doesn't he want to investigate such a big case in his jurisdiction? But this matter can't be investigated! Who did Mr. Zhao offend?" Doesn't one have a deep background? No matter who wants to kill him, we can't afford to offend him. In addition, the meaning of the magistrate is not yin or yang, so I dare not investigate in detail. Coincidentally, When Li Changtong came back, he said that the murderer was caught at the scene and the stolen goods were obtained. I thought, I thought, it would be better to just push the boat along and close the case. I also asked the magistrate, but he didn’t say it clearly, but I heard That’s what it meant, so I did it.”

Qin Shuhuai thought for a while, and then said, "It took only a quarter of an hour from the time the crime happened to when we arrived at the scene. How could your people arrive so quickly? I'd like to hear your explanation for such a strange thing. "

Zheng Zhidong hurriedly said, "Hero, I'm just a judge in Yangzhou. I don't care about mobilizing people. I really don't know when they went out or when they arrived. I swear, I really don't know." You can swear to God."

Qin Shuhuai pondered for a while, and felt that if what Zheng Zhidong said was true, then the prefect of Yangzhou had a great relationship with this case.On the one hand, he quickly sent someone over to take over the scene after the incident, as if he knew that the Zhao family would be wiped out.On the other hand, after the incident, he instructed his subordinates to close the case hastily, clearly trying to cover up something.

But logically speaking, Mr. Zhao has been doing business in Ningbo Mansion, so even if he offends others, he won't be able to offend Yangzhou Prefect, right?Why does the prefect of Yangzhou want to wipe the ass of the black hands behind the scenes?Could it be that the person behind the scenes is so powerful that even the magistrate of Yangzhou dare not offend?
At this time, the shouts of officers and soldiers came faintly around.

"Search, search carefully for me, don't let them run away!"

"Jinyiwei Master Zhao will be here soon, everyone cheer me up!"

Qin Shuhuai immediately said to Zhao Quyou and Hua Shen, "It's almost there, let's go."

Hua Chen said, "Then will this person stay or not?"

Qin Shuhuai smiled and said, "Since we promised him to spare his life, we must keep our word."

Zheng Zhidong knelt down immediately when he heard it, and said gratefully, "Thank you for being a good man, thank you for being a good man."

Not long after, several officers and soldiers found them and shouted immediately.

The three of them ignored them, jumped up one after another, and walked away.

If they want to leave, no one can stop them.After injuring several officers and soldiers who came to stop him, he went down the mountain smoothly.

After descending the mountain, Hua Chen said, "Brother Qin is so calculating!"

Qin Shuhuai smiled, "What's wrong?"

"Zheng Zhidong is the general judge of Yangzhou, and he is the right-hand man of the Yangzhou magistrate together with the Yangzhou Tongzhi, but he didn't know anything about such a big matter in advance. It seems that the Yangzhou magistrate doesn't trust him too much. Now he is captured by you and will not be killed." , and let it go lightly, now the magistrate probably doesn’t trust him even more? If so, if you use the name of the imperial envoy to instigate him in the future, he will probably take refuge in you.”

Qin Shuhuai smiled and said, "An old woman knows me. But then again, this Zheng Zhidong is cunning and cunning, and he may not tell the truth. That's why I didn't reveal my identity, so as not to reveal my identity and arouse their vigilance."

Hua Chen nodded, "That's right, we have to find out whether this person can be used. But what should we do now?"

Qin Shuhuai intended to let Hua Chen play to see how good his ability to assess the situation was, so he said, "What do you think?"

Hua Chen thought for a while, and said, "I think the most urgent thing is to rescue Mingzhu's servant girl first. She is the most important witness. If she is killed by the prefect of Yangzhou, things will be difficult."

Seeing that Hua Chen was thinking the same as himself, Qin Shuhuai said, "Old Hua, I think you are fully responsible for this case. I am your subordinate now, and I am under your command."

Qin Shuhuai intends to let Hua Chen take over his intelligence network.Now that I have the White Lotus Sect, it can be said that the intelligence network is ready-made.But how to make good use of this intelligence network depends on who is at the helm of this network.Hua Shen is flexible and has strong communication skills. He is an excellent candidate for the head of the intelligence department.But Qin Shuhuai was also worried that he would be foolish and disorganized, so he was still a little worried.So he decided to take this opportunity to see what Hua Shen's ability is.After all, investigating a case is the same as investigating intelligence, and requires patience and reasoning ability.
