Chapter 206 There is indeed something strange here
Jianjiang is the ancient name of Minjiang.
The name comes from Jianxi, its birthplace.
The three major tributaries of Jianxi, Futunxi and Shaxi are called Minjiang after the convergence. It passes through the coastal mountains to Fuzhou and Nantai Island, divides into two tributaries, reaches Luoxing Tower and recombines into one, and flows out of Langqi Island to the northeast and flows into the East China Sea.
Shopkeeper Ao and others have sent people to inquire at Jianxi in recent days, and the scope is gradually expanding.
Song Jin also knew it at this time.
The person named Gan Jiabao is indeed not within the scope of their inquiry.
Then Song Jin whispered a few more instructions, and Lao Huo and Qin Ba avoided Liu Er''s carriage and moved a big rock in front to block the middle of the road.
Lao Huo went to the front to investigate first.
Qin Ba hid near the big stone.
Sure enough, the stone in the middle of the road blocked Liu Erzu''s carriage.
Liu Er cursed a few times.
You can only get off the car and move the stones with the coachman.
Wait for the big stone to move to the side of the road.
Liu Er sat down with panting and panting, "Damn it, which guy who was ill-ethical and smoking, don''t let me find him, otherwise I will peel him off."
Suddenly a gust of wind and sand rose.
He headed for Liu Er.
Liu Er narrowed his eyes by the raised dust and hurriedly raised his arms to cover his face.
A figure passed by quickly.
The purse from Liu Er''s arms was easily taken away as if he was taking a pouch, and then quickly hid into the grass by the roadside.
Qin Ba took back the purse he sent out, destroyed the small note inside, and hid in the dark to check Liu Er''s situation.
Liu Er stood up in a mess.
Phook off the dust on his body and got into the car cursingly.
The coachman was slightly better than Liu Er, but he was not much better. His eyes were also sandy. He couldn''t open his eyes. After a while, he drove away.
When Song Jin came here several times.
Qin Ba showed up and grinned, "Fortunately, I''m not humiliating my fate."
"Thanks for your hard work."
Song Jin motioned him to get on the horse.
Another half an hour passed.
Song Jin and others came to the vicinity of the river bank.
The river surface is sparkling, and the river water gently pats the stones on the shore, making a pleasant sound.
Rows of chanter fishing boats were docked on the shore, bamboo poles were inserted into the ground, nets were hung in the air, and sampans were placed across the board.
There is a dark-skinned fisherman who is repairing the damaged fishing net.
Liu Erhuo came over in a hurry.
The fisherman asked loudly, "Liu Er, why are you free to come here?"
"I have something to do with Gan Da." Liu Er replied casually.
"Then you came unfortunately, he went to sea." The fisherman suddenly spoke.
Liu Er paused.
Ungainedly jumped on one of the fishing boats.
After a while, it came out again.
Liu Er went ashore again, "Uncle, do you know when Gan Da will be back?"
"I don''t know this."
The fisherman replied strangely, but Liu Er was not surprised.
After saying a few more words, Liu Er left.
Song Jin looked at the carriage where Liu Er left, and asked thoughtfully: "Uncle Huo, have you found that there is a problem with the gathering place of the gang people? I won''t say it''s a remote terrain. If you are not an acquaintance, you can''t find it here."
“There is indeed something weird here.”
Lao Huo looked at the old man frowned, "There are no women and children, and it is not like a normal gathering place for gangsters. Also, this is equivalent to the source of Jianjiang River. Most people who settle their homes here should make a living by fishing on the river. How many families would choose to go to sea with the near and far? They have to go to sea, and there must be big ships."
Song Jin suddenly realized when he heard this. good!
It is these inconsistencies.
What''s even more inconsistent is the fisherman''s answer.
I go out to sea to fish normally, but when will I come back? How can I not have a rough time?
You can tell it based on experience.
The fisherman was inconsistent and could not explain clearly.
Unless Gan Jiabao went to sea not to fish, but to have what task?
This made Song Jin subconsciously think of the forces hidden behind the scenes, and the large ship that picked up the Song family from the Zhu family merchant ship. Thinking of this, Song Jin couldn''t help but feel shocked.
"Have we finished our trip?" Song Jin suddenly asked in a low voice.
Qin Ba replied: "Most of the traces have been erased, only this Liu Er."
"Then let Liu Er have no chance to say it."
Song Jin knew that the rules of the big family were very strict.
Not only the master, but also the servants.
Occasionally, the master will indulge a few favored slaves, and the premise is that the slave is loyal and will not do anything lip service.
Song Jin ordered again: "Before Liu Er goes back, I will find a way to let Liu Ji know that Liu Er goes out without authorization."
"yes!"
Qin Ba is going back first.
Song Jin and others retreated from the riverside and entered a forest.
Lao Huo took the initiative to stay and investigate.
The staff of Shopkeeper Ao is temporarily assigned by Lao Huo.
Song Jin took the others back to the city.
The speed of riding a horse is faster than that of a carriage.
On the way, the group passed by Liu Er''s carriage directly. Liu Er had no doubts about this, only thinking that someone happened to pass by.
Qin Ba moved the hidden thread buried in the Liu family.
The news that Liu Er had quietly left the house reached Liu Ji''s ears.
After Liu Ji heard the news.
After waiting for a long time, Qin Ba still didn''t see any movement in Liu Ji, so he went back first to report the follow-up to Song Jin, "Madam, Liu Ji didn''t react after hearing this."
"Liu Er and Liu Ji grew up, so they must have a relationship, but they were probably defeated by Liu Er. Last time, Liu Er ran to the brothel to drink flower wine, but was caught by Liu Ji on the spot. How long has it been since he committed another crime..."
Song Jin knows the psychology of some superiors.
You can tolerate your subordinates being stupid, but you will not tolerate his repeated provocation of authority.
You should know that if a wealthy family wants to go out, you must obtain the consent of the mistress, let alone the slaves raised at home?
Leaving his post without his approval from his master is simply not taking his master seriously!
Therefore, as Song Jin expected.
As soon as Liu Er returned to the Liu family, he asked the eldest young master to send someone to tie him up and sent him directly to the village in the suburbs, and he disappeared completely that night.
In fact, he was secretly sent to mining.
Qin Ba, who has been paying attention to Liu Er''s movements.
The next day, when I came back, I looked solemn.
He met Song Jin privately, "Madam, I want to send a secret letter to the young master."
"What did you find?" Song Jin asked cautiously.
Qin Ba hesitated for a while and lowered his voice, "I found that the Liu family was actually mining iron ore privately. Liu Erming said on his face that he had sent it to the village, but in fact he only stayed in the village for a long time. He was sent to the iron ore that night. I thought that the village was going to kill Liu Er to silence him, and I discovered it after following him..."
This matter was a coincidence.
Qin Ba was worried that Liu Er would tell them about their plan, so that the Liu family would be vigilant and investigate.
This is the result?
Song Jin was shocked when he heard this.
At the beginning of the founding of the Daxia Dynasty, people were forbidden to mine privately. At that time, the world was stable and the law was strict, and no one dared to take great risks to mine privately.
The Liu family actually dared to mine iron ore privately!
The disaster of raiding the family and extermination of the clan!
The Liu family is too brave!
If you want so much iron, can you still want to rebel?
