An Ying walked on Shuanglin Mountain under the sun, and Xiao Yi followed with a few spies, because Mr. Su thought she was a local, not to mention she had already been there and was familiar with the road.
Although it is already September, the autumn tiger is very powerful. An Ying gritted his teeth and walked forward, finally finding twelve tea trees halfway up the mountain. She raised her head and looked around. Xiao Yi, who was beside her, had experience in marching. He pointed to the bushes behind and said, "Someone must have been walking behind here, and the branches on both sides have obvious signs of being broken."
An Ying nodded, and Xiao Yi used a knife to open a path ahead. Walking through the dense woods is a test of one's will. Mosquito bites and branches scratching the skin are all trivial matters.
"Look, this bush of grass has obviously been stepped on by someone, and it was covered by someone. Come on, go this way." Xiao Yi directed a few people to move through the dense forest flexibly, and a cave appeared in front of them.
An Ying was a little hesitant, "Xiao Yi, do you want to bring more people over? I think..."
"Hey, what are you afraid of? These are all old detectives who travel all over the world. Is it Hai Kun?"
The catcher named Haikun responded with a smile: "Don't worry, come on, let's go to the front cave to explore the way first. There will be some ferocious beasts resting in the cave."
Several agents polished the flint and walked into the cave holding torches.
"Boss, there are obvious signs of movement on the ground. It seems that someone is active here."
"Look there is light ahead, there is a way out!"
An Ying was exhausted and gradually distanced herself from them. She heard the sounds in front of her and saw the light. When she walked to the entrance of the cave, she was shocked by the sight in front of her: there were tea trees covering half of the hillside, at least up to 100 meters above sea level. Thousands of trees.
An Ying was about to call out to Xiao Yi when she suddenly saw many figures flashing below. She suddenly thought of something and immediately flashed back into the cave and peeked sideways.
Xiao Yi was leading people down the slope. He saw a thatched hut at the bottom of the hillside, which was probably where the people who managed the tea trees stayed. He was about to look back at An Ying's situation when suddenly a group of heads appeared in front of him. His heart sank. He glanced behind him secretly and An Ying was not there. He calmed down and shouted loudly: "I am Yi Zhongtian, the commander of the Xuanjie School, from the Punishment Department. Huang Shilang ordered us to investigate. Where are you from? What are your names?"
There were about a dozen people who came in front, all dressed as farmers. The man in the leader did not answer but said in the dialect: "The officers and soldiers are coming. We have to strike first and catch them quickly."
Although Xiao Yi didn't understand, he immediately realized that the person coming was evil, and immediately drew his sword, and the two parties fought. Although the farmers only had hoes and bamboo poles, they were familiar with the terrain and had a large number of people. After about half an hour, Xiao Yi and the five men Just got caught.
After An Ying saw these people in the dark, she didn't dare to make a sound or move. It wasn't until these villagers tied up Xiao Yi and several others and took them away. After everyone was gone, she went out little by little. Climb away. It was already dark now, and she had countless wounds on her body. She ignored the pain and rode Xiao Yi's black horse towards the city.
When she reached the city gate, when she thought of the formation of more than a dozen villagers, she gritted her teeth and ran towards Nanjing City. She touched the black horse's neck and said: "Xiao Hei, Xiao Hei, thank you for your hard work. Send me to Nanjing quickly and I will find someone to save your master."
The black horse seemed to understand and kept running north. An Ying felt that his thighs were bleeding and painful, but he did not dare to let the horse slow down at all, gritting his teeth.
"Mr. Su, hurry up, I'm looking for Mr. Su." An Ying rushed to the Criminal Department on the second day. Her legs were already stained with blood. She knocked on the door of the Criminal Department. "Mr. Su, Xiao Yi and I were exploring the tea trees and found something behind the mountain. There are thousands of tea trees, but Xiao Yi and the other five were captured by a group of people, who must be people who make private tea. There were about a dozen people on the other side, without weapons, and they must be nearby villagers with local Huzhou accents."
Su Huangzhe looked stern and immediately ordered: "Come here, take General Zhongwu and two men and horses to follow me to Huzhou."
An Ying was severely injured and could no longer ride a horse, so Su Huangzhe rode in the carriage with her.
"This kind of case is a capital crime if found. I was reckless. Xiao Yi should be asked to bring more people." Su Huangzhe sighed.
"Sir, I used to think that this half of the tea mountain could not be produced by the Luo family. Now it seems that there are many people involved in making tea, but the most important thing is the way to sell the tea. But can the Luo family have this ability? Bian Selling tea is not something ordinary people do. Could it be..." An Ying leaned against the car wall and said while resting.
"Is it something?" Su Huangzhe also leaned back, thinking that this girl has a very clear mind.
"Is it possible that He Zhizhou is not Madam Luo's enemy at all? Only if He Zhizhou and the Luo family join forces can this matter be handled smoothly from beginning to end." An Ying thought everything through, forgot about the wounds on his body, and couldn't help but slap him On the wall of the car, he grimaced in pain, but continued: "The recovery of tea trees, the use of new molds, and the tea farmers' meeting were all planned by He Zhizhou. Last time we were at Zheng's house, I felt that He Zhizhou There was a problem, and Madam Na Luo stirred up the trouble, and I almost thought that He Zhizhou was also implicated. Oh~~ No wonder you put He Zhizhou in solitary confinement early in the morning. Did you already feel that something was wrong with He Zhizhou?" An Ying As he spoke, he came to his senses and looked at Huang Suzhe.
Su Huangzhe smiled and nodded: "I said it at the Zheng family at that time. He Zhizhou must be at the core of this matter. What role he played needs to be investigated carefully. But you also know this kind of case, as long as it involves Anyone who steals tea is punishable by death. No one from He Qing or the Luo family has revealed anything. So we have reached a deadlock."
"However, now we have their tea trees and the gang of tea-making accomplices. It's different when there are accomplices. We can always pry one or two open, thus opening a gap."
Xiao Yi and others were tied up and thrown into the thatched house.
"Don't worry, I saw Miss An retreating. She will definitely find someone to rescue us."
"It's better to expect that girl to think of a solution on her own. I think it would be too much for her to find her way back to Nanjing City on her own. Boss, how about we wait..."
There was the sound of people and horses moving outside the door. Xiao Yi and the others looked at each other, unable to hide their surprise.
"That girl is really capable. In just a short time, someone came over."
After a while, someone rushed into the thatched house, "Brother Yi, are you okay? These unruly people are under control."
"It's okay. I was careless this time. I fell into the hands of a few unscrupulous people and embarrassed the Criminal Department. Hey, but Miss An came to find you? Is it okay if she approves?"
"Hey, don't tell me, that girl rode your little black and ran to the Ministry of Punishment all covered in blood to find Mr. Su. He will take a carriage to Huzhou City. You have to thank him properly. Let me tell you, again Come a little late, those thieves are going to burn this place down."
