I want to do research even if I have no money

In the past few days, every time the two of them met, they felt awkward.Whenever the two are alone, the atmosphere becomes very awkward.

Therefore, neither of them noticed that a force hidden in the dark had already targeted the depth of field like a poisonous snake.

Because it would be embarrassing to be alone, Jing Shen and Situ Meng acted alone these two days. Situ Meng went to the school to discuss the content of the lecture with Stephen; while Jing Shen wandered aimlessly in the manor, and finally wandered to a few years ago. The place where the fireworks were set off with Situ Meng.

As the emperor's favorite prince and a member of Jian's family, Jing Shen never lacks guards around him, whether they are on the bright side or hiding in the dark, so he never worries about his own safety.

However, this time he underestimated the power of reselling lighter oil. The power of this power is huge and entangled completely beyond his imagination. The guards around him were all controlled, and he himself was knocked out. Send it to the hidden dungeon of the magistrate's house in Yangzhou.

When Situ Meng found out that Jing Shen was missing, it was already the next day.In the past few days, because the meeting between the two was very embarrassing, Jing Shen didn't stay in the manor for dinner, but went to Ningshan County, or even Yangzhou Mansion farther away to have dinner before returning.

He didn't say hello to Situ Meng when he came back, but went straight to his room and fell asleep.Situ Meng didn't go to see him because he was afraid of embarrassment.

After discussing with Stephen, it happened that Situ Meng had some things to deal with in Yangzhou Mansion. After finishing, it was dark, so he stayed at Situ Li's restaurant in Yangzhou for one night before returning.

Gong Juren was arranged by the depth of the scene to follow Situ Meng around, to help when he was busy, and to protect Situ Meng when he was not busy.At the same time, he was the first to discover the disappearance of the depth of field.

He immediately wanted to contact the other guards following Jingshen, but found that everyone had disappeared, and the traces left in Jingshen's room indicated that he went out temporarily and did not come back overnight.

Gong Juren first found Situ Li who stayed overnight in Lin's mansion. He was the only one who knew the true identity of Jingshen besides Ji Lao and Situ Meng, and from Jingshen's point of view, he was a resourceful person.

After hearing the story, Situ Li had already guessed that Jing Shen stayed here for a purpose, maybe it was the emperor's will. After listening to the story, he was even more sure of his thoughts.

He also guessed why Gong Juren was looking for him instead of Commander Jian—if the secret decree Jing Shen received could only be carried out in secret, then asking Commander Jane for help would only scare the snake, because the other party would definitely stay in Yangzhou With a lot of eyeliner, the movement of the Jiangnan General Army Camp is too great to cover up.

Therefore, the matter of Jing Shen's disappearance cannot be intervened by the Jiangnan General Army Camp unless it is a critical moment.

Situ Li thought for a while, and said to Gong Juren: "We can't keep this matter from Menger, not only that, but we also need Menger's help."

"But..." Gong Juren didn't think Situ Meng, an ordinary person, could be of much help, but soon after Jing Shen came to the villa, he told him that if any accident happened and couldn't be solved, he could ask Situ Li for help. In order to obey the arrangement of his superiors, he still listened to Situ Li's words, and the two found Situ Meng together.

**

A burly man was patrolling the deep corridor, and his eyes slipped one by one in the closed cage; at the other end of the corridor, several burly men stopped him, and they sat together , Started a new game.

In the deepest part of the dark corridor, a teenager whose hands were tied to a wooden shelf slowly opened his eyes. He moved his hands. With his ability, he could break the ropes at any time, but he didn't intend to expose himself yet. With his strength, he is waiting, waiting to collect more evidence, and then turn defeat into victory.

This young man is Jing Shen. In fact, he was not as panicked as Gong Juren and the others imagined. Even being caught was within his plan.

However, he underestimated his opponent too much, and completely underestimated the opponent's strength. The number of guards and equipment owned by the opponent could even compete with half of the Jiangnan General Army Camp.

Although the guards he brought were all masters, they were outnumbered. The originally expected feint of failure and capture turned into a real defeat.

But despite this, Jing Shen still maintains an unhurried attitude, he is not in a hurry to escape now, on the contrary, he has to collect enough evidence here before leaving.

From what happened when Situ Meng was arrested last time, he thought that the Li family brothers might have something to do with reselling fire mechanism oil—just imagine, workshops that specialize in the production of fire mechanism tools, they themselves need a lot of fire mechanism oil, and the fire mechanism oil they resell Oil mixed in it is the best concealment method.

In fact, while rehabilitating Situ Meng, he also found a lot of evidence that the Li family brothers colluded with black dealers who resell lighter oil.

He even discovered that the prefect of Yangzhou was involved behind this. However, the prefect was too cautious in doing things, and there were too few criminal proofs left. Up to now, there is no evidence that he participated in the reselling of fire engine oil.

"You mean, the magistrate of Yangzhou is in the same group as the dealer who resells the fuel for fire engines?!" Situ Meng turned pale after hearing Gong Juren's words, "That's the magistrate! The magistrate who can have private soldiers in his own home! You guys Do you know how much power the magistrate has in a state capital?"

"This is not counting his collusion with the captain! In case even the captain of Yangzhou belongs to them, do you know how many troops there are in a state capital?!"

Gong Juren said: "I think the young master knows this..."

"Since you know how to charge forward?!" Situ Meng felt his lungs exploded, knowing that Gong Juren could not be the master at all, but he still vented his anger on him.

In fact, Situ Meng is most angry with himself. If he hadn't deliberately avoided Jing Shen because of some embarrassment that he couldn't express, if he had been by Jing Shen's side all the time, wouldn't such a thing have happened at all?

He raised his head and closed his eyes and took a deep breath, then exhaled slowly, and said to Gong Juren: "Sorry, I couldn't hold back for a while, I didn't mean it, and I didn't blame you, I... oh, forget it, Leave me alone."

Situ Li and Gong Juren left, and Situ Meng stood alone in front of the bronze mirror in the room, looking at his own face under the system font.

"Jingshen, how can I rescue you?"

Situ Meng didn't know how many troops there were in the prefect of Yangzhou and the black merchants, and he didn't know the level of their weapons. Moreover, in the current situation, he still couldn't go to the Jiangnan General Army Camp to ask for help-Jing Shen has been working for so long Foreshadowing, he can't rescue people recklessly, and he can't let the general army battalion take action, that will only scare the snake.

If the Jiangnan General Army Camp helps, the chances of rescuing Jing Shen will be greatly increased, but it will be even more difficult to find criminal evidence later.

Situ Meng remembered the firecrackers that Depth of Field asked him to improve. Most of these weapons have already been made, and some of them are on the assembly line of Huahuo Factory.

He suddenly opened the door, and both Situ Li and Gong Juren were still standing at the door.

"Is Liu Dahu on vacation? Have you come back to the manor?"

The issue of Liu Dahu's verdict had been quarreled for a long time before, but it was finally settled. In fact, this was also the emperor's original plan. After everyone gradually forgot about this person, he asked Jian's army to release him from prison secretly, and became an emperor. official soldier.

In recent years, Liu Dahu led the previous village tyrants. Whenever the military camp returned to the manor for vacation, they would give militarized training to the nurses, young and middle-aged tenant farmers, and employees. In terms of force, it is already too strong.

Situ Li smiled and said, "They're all back. At this time, I'm afraid they are already training 'newcomers'."

The new recruits that Situ Li talked about were actually those teenagers who had just turned 16 in the school. Liu Dahu is currently serving as the instructor in the Jiangnan General Army Camp, and he has brought back this habit when he returned to the manor on vacation.

Situ Meng watched his "recruit training" a few times. It was stricter, but it was still able to keep fit, so he acquiesced to Liu Dahu's training for the youths in the manor.

"Liu Dahu and the others... plus the guards of the manor, and other young and middle-aged men who can use fire mechanism weapons, how many people are there in total?"

"No more, no less, there must be three hundred, just about the same as the number of firecrackers."

Situ Meng nodded, thought for a while, and said, "I'll go to the Fireworks Factory."

On the other hand, in the dark cell, apart from being tied up and not allowed to eat or drink, Depth of Field received no more abuse.In fact, he only saw those tall and sturdy jailers these two days, but he didn't see anyone else appearing.

The enemy does not move and I do not move, and Depth of Field is not in a hurry, he knows that the other party will definitely come to see him, and it took so much energy and manpower to catch him, it is impossible to really leave him alone.

What he was thinking at the moment was, trapped in the dungeon, how could he collect criminal evidence?

From the conversations between the jailers, he learned that this is a dungeon located in the home of the magistrate of Yangzhou. Every day, someone would come to deliver meals to the jailers and the "prisoners" who were imprisoned. Many "disobedient" people were imprisoned, including Mr. Zhou, an accountant who used to be the magistrate's family.

Mrs. Zhou had already worked as an accountant in the magistrate's mansion when he first came into contact with reselling fire engine oil. Unlike others, he noticed early on that there were several large sums of money in the monthly account for no reason.

I can know this because she was originally the person in charge of the hidden tent in the magistrate's mansion, and besides him, there is only one old man who is in charge of tidying up the dark tent in the huge mansion, and because of his old age, the old man usually Leave things to Zhou alone.

Mrs. Zhou realized that these large sums of money were unusual. Although there were some bits and pieces of money in the dark account in the past, it was not so regular every month, and the denomination was so large.

Realizing that the magistrate was doing something illegal, Zhou's heart was at war between heaven and man, but in the end he was more rational. He secretly copied two copies of these ledgers, one was brought back to his home, and the other was left in the magistrate's mansion. some secret place.

However, a colleague who has always been sleeping late at work actually exposed him. The magistrate was furious when he learned of the incident, and found an excuse to copy his house, found the copied account book and destroyed it.

What they didn't expect was that in the prefect's own mansion, under their noses, there was still a criminal evidence.

Zhou's cell is right next to Jingshen, and there is a hidden mouse hole in the corner of the wall between the two cells. Exchange information.

At that time, Mr. Zhou hid not only the account books, but also private information about the black dealer who resold lighter oil, including palm prints, fingerprints, etc., and he had even met the black dealer by accident.

"You know so much, why didn't they just kill you?" Jing Shen whispered through the mouse hole.

"Maybe they think I'm still useful? I don't know... They killed my wife and children right in front of me, but they just didn't kill me, they just kept me here and raised me up every meal. .”

"Don't they really know the account book hidden in the magistrate's mansion?"

"Maybe? Logically speaking, I shouldn't know it. I never disclosed it to anyone, and the old man didn't know either."

Jing Shen leaned against the wet and cold wall, he said: "If I can get out, I will definitely save you too!"

Mrs. Zhou chuckled: "I thought so too five years ago. But the reality is that this is a dark dungeon, guarded by jailers, and outside there is the nursing home of the magistrate's family, and there may be a prison in Yangzhou." The troops are guarding... Go out, ah, it can only be realized in a dream!"
