Looking at the bright moon

When did Wen Mingyu leave that night, no one in the Long Garden knew for sure, when asked Xu Hancheng, Xu Hancheng also said he didn't know.During breakfast, He Lingshan absently took a bite of the sweet bread, chewed it a few times, and sighed in distress, feeling a little sorry for that person.It is very happy to hide Wen Mingyu in a place that only he knows, but it is his fault to let the other party have a home for a long time and cannot return, and come back once in a while, and to be so careful.

Xu Hancheng ate with him, and waited for He Lingshan to wipe his mouth with a napkin before saying, "Young master, the person who attacked you yesterday has been identified."

He Lingshan said: "So fast?"

Xu Hancheng smiled nonchalantly, and explained: "Yesterday, I brought two groups of people and asked them to search carefully in the woods. Sure enough, I captured a few gangsters alive. I interrogated them overnight, and there were two soft bones among them. They couldn't handle it anymore. It is said that several cigarette dealers in Jin'an joined forces to hire them. The people below sent the news just now, and what they found matches their confession. I have sent someone to Jin'an immediately to catch those bastards who don't have long eyes Well, if it goes well, the result will be available on the same day."

He has been Wen Mingyu's right-hand man for decades, and he is very familiar with handling these matters, without the master needing to worry at all.He Lingshan nodded, leaned on the table to think for a moment, and then asked: "Uncle Xu, who knows about my itinerary yesterday?" Xu Hancheng called out the names of several major officers and said, "You forgot, there was a meeting at the pier yesterday. The batch of goods arrived late, and they were in a hurry to find a place to settle. They came to the door that afternoon just for this matter, and they were so anxious that they left only when they knew you were not around.” After he finished speaking, his expression changed, and he lowered his voice and asked: "Why, you suspect that the ghost is among them?"

"Go and ask Boss Sun first." He Lingshan leaned against the edge of the table and stood up: "Wen Yongtang leaked the road map, but my father asked him afterwards, and he didn't handle the exchange of goods. If you can do such a trick, you can't do it for nothing." As everyone knows, it must not be a small character, and it is much better to check from these people first than to run around like headless chickens."

Everything was exactly as Xu Hancheng said. At one o'clock in the afternoon, the person sent to Jin'an called to report that the cigarette dealers who had appointed killers had been caught, and they could be brought back to Yancheng tonight.After they were delivered, He Lingshan went there in person. Those people were imprisoned in the basement of Qiuyue Mansion. Because their hands and feet were tightly bound together, they spread out on the floor like fat freshwater shrimps. .

After tiptoeing one of the people's head to look at them for a few moments, He Lingshan kicked him away, walked slowly back and forth in front of them, and said to the thugs behind him, "I'll have a chat with them."

The thugs answered yes, and pulled the cloth from their mouths one by one. Their mouths had just regained their freedom. Some begged for mercy, and some cursed.He Lingshan frowned, stretched out his fingers and nodded at those who were constantly scolding, and said, "Get rid of them all, I don't need so many mouths to answer questions."

The cigarette dealers who were lit by him suddenly seemed to be choked by someone, their eyes were wide open, and they all looked at him in disbelief.When the thugs came to drag them, they changed their angry expressions and shouted for mercy at the top of their voices.He Lingshan didn't pay attention, and only cast his eyes on the remaining people, and asked indifferently: "I have a few questions to ask you, I wonder if you are willing to explain my doubts?"

"Yes, yes!" One of the thin men was the first to say, kowtowing to He Lingshan constantly: "I offended you earlier, because I didn't know Taishan with my eyes, so I did such a dastardly thing. In the future If I still have a life left, I will definitely be a cow and a horse to repay your kindness, what I said is the truth, all the truth, Boss He, please forgive me!"

After the thin man burst into tears and smashed his head, He Lingshan said, "As long as you are telling the truth, I can consider letting you live. Tell me first, did you hire a murderer to kill someone, were you ordered by someone?"

Before the thin man could speak, another cigarette dealer lying in the corner answered first: "No one instructed us, absolutely not! It's him—" He tried to signal the thin man with his eyes: "It's him, he instigated us a few times!" The brothers said that once the Wen family fell, there would be a lot of business to do in the future, so we decided to do it. You can ask other people, they can prove that I am telling the truth."

The thin man flew into a rage and shouted: "Damn it, when I came up with an idea, you were the first one to respond, even the killer was hired by you. Do you think you can survive if you drag me into the water!"

"I hired a good person, but you planned how to do it, and I didn't say a word."

The two of them seemed to have completely forgotten where they were. He Lingshan couldn't bear to listen any longer. He stepped on the skinny man's head and exerted a slight force. Not half a redundant word.

After the skinny man yelled for a full minute, He Lingshan removed the sole of his shoe from his face and said, "You are the one who made the plan? Tell me how it was planned."

This time the thin man didn't speak for a long time, a pair of eyeballs were spinning around in the bloodshot eye sockets, until He Lingshan glanced at him, then he shrank his head and said, "I'm such a pig brain, I can't think of any plan, but let People are lying in ambush on your way back, just waiting for an opportunity to strike."

"Ambush." ​​He Lingshan repeated these two words with a smile: "Only by knowing my movements in advance can I set up this ambush. You are in Jin'an, and you have no backing in Yancheng. Is it because of your every move?" Can the fortune-telling work out?"

His voice was as if soaked in ice and snow, hard and cold, and it made people tremble in the ears.The thin man muttered a few times, and as soon as the word "I" came out, He Lingshan's soles covered his face again. This time he didn't show mercy, and the facial features of the person under his feet shifted, his face turned blue, and he said: "Tell me the truth , If you want to lie again, I will make you die even if you want to die."

Whether a person is too ugly or too beautiful, he will be looked down upon. The ugly thinks he has no face to meet people, while the beautiful thinks that he only relies on face in front of people.These few cigarette dealers had just met He Lingshan for the first time, and all of them felt contemptuous, thinking that he was just a posturing paper tiger, and they couldn't do anything to them.Right now, the skinny man knew that he was terribly wrong. When He Lingshan was torturing people, he never blinked his eyes, and his expression was even indifferent, a kind of indifference that is used to life and death, flat and numb.

The thin man couldn't stand it any longer, tears and blood smeared all over his face in a mess: "Boss He, spare me, I'll tell the truth, I'll say anything, please hold your feet high and let me go!"

Before He Lingshan could withdraw his strength, he stuttered and began to explain that someone came to his door a few days ago and wanted to make a deal with him.According to that person, as long as the thin man cooperates with him in getting rid of the current head of the Wen family, in the future the thin man will be able to do business in Yannan without hindrance and without any interference.In addition, the other party will also pay him a generous remuneration, the thin man has already received half of it, and this half alone is as much as 40.

Of course the thin man couldn't refuse this windfall, but he was too timid to take the risk of angering the Wen family alone, so he called his friends together to plan the assassination.He Lingshan's whereabouts that day were also revealed by the mysterious person who made a deal with the thin man. What's more, the time when the thin man received the information happened to be shortly after those senior officials left Longyuan.

Although he and Xu Hancheng had already made this kind of speculation, guessing and hearing it with his own ears are two different things. He Lingshan shrank his heart tightly, clenched his hands behind his back unconsciously, and asked the skinny man: "Making a deal with you?" What does that person look like?"

"There's nothing special about his appearance, he's not tall and has a flat face." The thin man described it, but he didn't feel that he had given any useful information, and he was a little embarrassed: "But judging by his appearance and behavior, he shouldn't really make the decision. I don’t have any other skills, but I’m pretty good at judging people.”

He Lingshan was originally a dead horse as a living horse doctor, so he asked casually and didn't expect to get any results, so he just said: "Think about it carefully, is there anything else you can remember."

"Others?" The thin man thought for a long time tremblingly, straightened up suddenly, and shouted excitedly: "I remember, Boss He, I remembered! That man came to me once, and my clothes were covered by chairs. Hanging up, I saw a ring in his pocket. At that time, I still thought, why put the ring in the pocket, if it is a gift, why not put it in a box. Later, because it was not important, Just forget it, now that I think about it, it’s really strange!"

Seeing him so excited, He Lingshan thought it was something strange, but was disappointed after hearing it.A ring in his pocket, what can be tracked down, he shook his head, but still asked: "What kind of ring?"

"It seems to be cheap. It's made of silver. The style is very simple." While recalling, the thin man looked around, probably looking for a reference.When his eyes turned to He Lingshan's back, the thin man's expression froze suddenly, his face faded, as if he had seen something extremely terrifying, his throat was rattling, and he couldn't utter a word for a long time.

He Lingshan immediately followed his gaze and turned around, only to find that what he was looking at was a thug behind him.There happened to be a silver ring on the index finger of the man's right hand, which was not inlaid with gemstones, just like what the thin man described.He Lingshan hurried over, ignored the thug's frightened face, grabbed his arm and approached the thin man, asking in a deep voice, "Is this the ring?"

The thin man was almost paralyzed on the ground, nodding his head like a chicken pecking at rice.

"Are you sure?" He Lingshan let go of the thug's arm, grabbed the thin man by the collar and lifted him a few feet from the ground: "Think clearly for me, what will happen to you if you lie, you won't forget live?"

"It's this ring, there's nothing wrong with it, it can't be wrong!" The thin man swayed under his cold gaze, and his crotch got wet quietly, almost crying bitterly: "I didn't Lie, don't kill me, I don't want to die—"

With a plop, the thug wearing the ring knelt beside He Lingshan, raised a face full of shock and anger: "Young master, this is a frame-up. Uncle Jin worshiped the Wen family at the age of 15. Young master, he can even disregard his life, how could such a person betray the Wen family. This villain is only talking one-sidedly, you must not believe him!"

"I have a way to prove it!" The thin man was also driven into a hurry, and said tremblingly: "Boss He, although that man's ring is the same as his, but there are two cracks on it, it's obvious, you can tell it at a glance! "

The thug still wanted to defend himself, but He Lingshan wearily made a silence gesture, and said: "Whether he told the truth or not, you will know after checking."

He ignored the thin man who hissed for mercy, left the basement, and walked up the stairs slowly.This section of the road was dark and gloomy, only a little light came out from the gap in the iron gate, and a thin golden line was drawn on the stairs, and floating snow-white dust was scattered in the light.He Lingshan stopped under the light, and took a deep breath slowly.

Jin Zhongquan was indeed included among the several chief executives who visited Longyuan yesterday.More importantly, Jin Zhongquan has always had a small rule, all his trusted disciples will get a silver ring from him, and everyone's name is engraved on the inside of the ring as a distinction.There are not many people who can be caught by Jin Zhongquan. If the skinny man confesses to someone, it is almost impossible not to be found by He Lingshan.

However, He Lingshan can tell whether a person has the intention to kill himself or not.Although Jin Zhongquan had quarreled with him several times before, the other party's anger level at that time was far from the step of wanting to kill someone.

He stood there thinking for a long time, finally clapped his hands, summoned a few thugs guarding the basement, and ordered: "Take care of this place, those who come with me today, please stay here for a few more days, and no one is allowed to come out. "

These thugs were all trained by Xu Hancheng himself, and they also respected He Lingshan very much. Hearing this, they all answered yes without asking why.
