Chapter 337 Water Well

The sudden scene made everyone stunned, and the scene was silent. Except for Tan Zong and Bi Shijie, no one expected that Fang *yi would suddenly commit suicide by committing suicide. A very living person would be gone in front of him.

Especially the sound of Fang *yi shouting before his death, "If you want to add a crime, you will have no choice but to worry about it." The sound was extremely shrill and creepy. [..com]

"Brother Fang, Brother Fang, the Gong family is sorry for you, the Gong family is sorry for you." Just as everyone was confused and at a loss, Gong Fan crawled over and knelt in front of Fang *yi's body and burst into tears.

Seeing this, the Gong family in the hall knelt down one after another and cried bitterly at Fang *yi. The yard was crying in an instant, and there was a miserable scene.

"But... damn!" Looking at Gong Fan who was crying there, Zhou Dunran reacted, realizing that Gong Fan had used a bitter plan, and couldn't help but clench his fists.

He worked in the Ministry of Justice for many years and had met many outlaws, but this was the first time he met a character as cruel as Fang *yi. He ended his life without hesitation just because of a hint from Gong Fan.

If Tan Zong had not given any explanation, Zhou Dunran would have arrested all the people from the Gong family and tortured them seriously. He would not believe it. All the people in the Gong family were as fierce as Fang *yi!

"Sir, will you still be able to judge?" After a long time, seeing Zhou Dunran standing there with a pale face and without saying a word, Lu Weimin walked over with a tough forehead and asked carefully.

"Send additional personnel to send me the imperial envoy to read this place!" Zhou Dunran glanced at Lu Weimin expressionlessly, turned around and left.

A suspect who was finally found died like this. Although Zhou Dunran was unwilling to give up, he could only swallow his anger. If he continued to have another trial, the affairs of the Gong Mansion might not end well, and that would have broken Tan Zong's arrangements.

"Go, transfer a hundred people to search carefully." Lu Weimin called an official from the government office and said with a gloomy face. Zhou Dunran was in a bad mood, so his mood was naturally very poor. If he could not find the murderer behind the murder of "Hou Dehai", he would definitely be implicated.

The official from the government office asked Lu Weimin and hurriedly arranged to go.

Tan Zong looked at Gong Fan, who was heartbroken and followed Zhou Dunran quietly. Now let Gong Fan go. After finding the Japanese bandits, the next step is to deal with the Gong Mansion. By then, Zhou Dunran will definitely make the people in Gong Mansion suffer all the hardships.

What surprised Tan Zong was that Zhou Dunran did not leave the Gong Mansion, but returned to the courtyard with an elegant environment before, and personally took charge of the Gong Mansion, and acted as if he would not give up until he found something useful in the Gong Mansion.

After sitting in the room for a while, Tan Zong felt that the atmosphere in the room was too depressing, so he greeted Zhou Dunran and stood up and left, and wandered around the Gong Mansion accompanied by Zheng Hu and others.

Along the way, there were soldiers from the city defense force, rummaging through boxes and cabinets in various rooms, throwing all kinds of items all over the ground, and it was in a mess. Even the flowers and plants on the roadside were affected and trampled to pieces.

After experiencing such a catastrophe, even if the Gong family was lucky enough to survive, they would probably have suffered heavy losses and were seriously injured in their vitality. They could only secretly swallow this bitter fruit and claim to be unlucky. Who made Zhou Dunran the imperial envoy?

The Gong family is one of the most wealthy businessmen in Yangzhou City. The size of the house is comparable to that of Xie Laohei's Xie family, with pavilions, towers, rockery and flowing water.

Tan Zong walked casually, his eyes scanning around him seemingly casually. Since the city defense force could not find anything valuable and the Gong family was very suspicious, the only explanation was that there was a dark room in the Gong family, and some shameful things were placed in the dark room by them.

But where will this dark room be built? The city defense force has already messed up the Gong Mansion but has not found it. It seems that somewhere must have been neglected!

Although Tan Zong did not want to disturb the Song family's marriage because of the Gong family, if he could find any clues before tomorrow, it would be a heavy blow to Bishijie. This is a scene he is very willing to see. Maybe he can even alert the snake and dig out more things from Bishijie.

Since learning that Bi Shijie was the supreme leader of Aunt Mei’s organization in Yangzhou City, Tan Zong asked Niu Ada to secretly send someone to monitor Bi Shijie and the people in Bifu.

Unfortunately, until now, Niu Ada has not discovered anything, but has recorded the daily life rules of Bi Shijie and the Bi family.

If the Gong family is exposed, Bishijie will definitely make other people dormant, then he can find clues through the abnormal behavior of Bishijie and Bi family, and then determine the secret personnel under Bishijie.

At dusk, Tan Zong had already visited many places in the Gong Mansion, including the rooms, rockery and gardens. What disappointed him was that he did not find any abnormalities. It seemed that the idea of ​​adding some congestion to Bi Shiqi was unrealistic, so he could only take advantage of the Gong family for the time being.

After giving up the idea of ​​causing trouble for Bi Shijie, Tan Zong walked towards the yard where Zhou Dunran was. When he passed by a small courtyard with elegant environment, he suddenly heard a burst of teasing sounds from inside. He turned his head and looked inside. He saw several soldiers surrounding a well in the yard, peeing inside, and each of them had a woman's bellyband tied around his neck.

This small courtyard is located in the backyard of the Gong family and belongs to the inner house. There is a two-story attic in the yard. There are some women's clothes and rouge boxes scattered on the ground in front of the building. It is the place where the women of the Gong family live.

"Young Master Huang!" Several soldiers suddenly saw Tan Zong standing at the door, quickly put on their pants, and bowed to Tan Zong nervously.

After experiencing the incident between "Hou Dehai" and Datong Casino some time ago, almost no one in the city defense force does not know Tan Zong, the famous "Young Master Huang".

"Who is living here?" Tan Zong's eyes fell on the well, frowned slightly, and walked in with a smile.

"It seems that he is the youngest daughter of the Gong family, and he is not yet married." A soldier came forward and said with a smile on his face.

"You guys go busy, let me take a look." Tan Zong nodded, smiled at the soldier, glanced at the water well indifferently, and walked towards the two-story small attic.

Seeing this, several soldiers took off their bellybands hanging around their necks and hurriedly left.

The attic was already in a mess, with the tables and chairs falling down, and it was in a mess. Some soldiers were seriously pounding on the walls and ground, trying to find out if there were any authenticity and dark layers. When they saw Tan Zong, they greeted him.

Tan Zong went straight to the second floor, pushed the door open and walked to the balcony. From here, he could see the surrounding scenery.

The condescending Tan Zong did not come up to enjoy the scenery. After glanced at the layout of the Gong Mansion, his eyes flashed and he couldn't help but look at the well in the yard.

Tan Zong had visited this courtyard before and looked at the Gong Mansion on the balcony, trying to find something wrong, but unfortunately he didn't find anything. If it weren't for the sergeants who were peeing at the wellhead just now, he wouldn't have become interested in this extremely ordinary well.

Because this well is too ordinary and nothing special, Tan Zong ignored it before, but when he paid attention to this well, he suddenly found that its existence seemed a bit redundant. The area of ​​the courtyard was not large, and the appearance of this well destroyed the overall beauty of the courtyard.

After pondering for a moment, Tan Zong went downstairs to the well and looked into the well.

It was already evening, and half of the setting sun was below the horizon. The light was dim. Tan Zong could not see the situation in the well. He pondered for a moment and whispered a few words to Zheng Hu's ears who were following behind him. Zheng Hu nodded and led the two people away quickly.

Night soon fell. As it was time for supper, the soldiers searching for the yard left one after another, and only Tan Zong's people were left in the yard.

While Tan Zong was walking by the well, Zheng Hu and the other two came back and brought a torch, a slender rope and a small iron chain.

According to Tan Zong's instructions, the torch and the rope were connected by an iron chain: one end of the chain was tied to the middle and upper part of the torch, and the other end was tied to the rope.

Then, the torch was lit, pulled it with a rope, and slowly put it into the well. Tan Zong looked at the wall of the well illuminated by the torches around him.

"Stop!" Suddenly, Tan Zong frowned slightly, and raised his hand to the person who placed the rope down, and the person who placed the rope immediately stopped the movements in his hand.

At this time, the torch was at a depth of meter from the wellhead. The flame that had been burning upwards seemed to be sucked by something, and the flames were fluttering to the south.

Tan Zong stared at the well wall facing the flames. Due to the perspective, he only saw that the well wall was smooth and had no special discoveries.

"Go and invite the guards of Song." After a while, Tan Zong stretched out his eyebrows and ordered Zheng Hu in a deep voice.

The reason why the flames fluttered to the south is that there is wind blowing it. The well is a sealed space and the air should convection up and down. There is only one explanation for this situation at this time, that is, the well wall on the south side produces horizontal air flow.

In other words, there is a very perfectly hidden secret passage on the well wall on the south side, which cannot be seen from the wellhead.

If it wasn't dark, Tan Zong wouldn't have thought of using a torch to explore the well wall, so that he would not be able to know the air flow inside.

Zheng Hu waved his hand at a big Han man next to him, and the big man quickly left the yard.

"Young Master Huang!" After a while, Song Ming came to the courtyard under the guidance of the big man. Due to Tan Zong's special order, Song Ming came alone and smiled and arched at Tan Zong, "I wonder if Song can serve the young master?"

Tan Zong walked to Song Ming's side and whispered a few words in his ear. The smile on Song Ming's face gradually frozen.

"Mr. Huang, what should Song do?" After Tan Zong finished speaking, Song Ming was stunned at first, then looked at him with surprise.

Tan Zong had already thought of a countermeasure. After a smile, he whispered something to Song Ming. Song Ming kept nodding, and his face showed uncontrollable joy. As if Tan Zong said, then his credit would not be able to escape.

"Song Xunshou, this is the matter of the government. I don't want to get involved. Song Xunshou should know what to do!" After Tan Zong told Song Ming how to deal with it, he looked at Song Ming meaningfully, with a faint smile on his lips.

"Mr. Huang's meaning... is to let Song inform the imperial envoy?" Song Ming looked at Tan Zong in surprise when he heard this. This was a huge contribution, and Tan Zong gave him so calmly.

"Song Xunshou, I'm a little tired, go and take a break." Tan Zong smiled slightly at Song Ming, stretched lazily, moved his neck, and walked away staggeringly.

It was not until Tan Zong's figure disappeared at the gate of the courtyard that Song Ming came to his senses and couldn't help but secretly admire the depth of Tan Zong's background:

The "Hou Dehai" case was an imperial case personally supervised by the government. It is definitely a great achievement to find the murderer behind the murder of "Hou Dehai". Many people never dreamed of such a precious opportunity, but Tan Zong did not take it at all and gave it to him easily, which fully demonstrated that Tan Zong did not take this credit at all, and then demonstrated his nobleness and extraordinary identity.

In fact, the reason why Tan Zong gave this credit to Song Ming was that he did not want to attract Bi Shijie's attention and deliberately kept a low profile. Secondly, he was to win over Song Ming and prepare for the future attack on Bi Shijie's forces.

Faced with the gift from Tan Zong, Song Ming accepted it with a smile, suppressed the surprise in his heart, and went to have supper quietly.

After dinner, in order to cover up his eyes, Song Ming and his men inspected the wells of Gong's mansion one by one according to Tan Zong's previous method. Of course, his ultimate goal was the well that Tan Zong discovered and secretly walked.

As Tan Zong discovered the secret of the well, he became very happy. The stranger who was exploring the news might have hid in the secret passage in the well. This would not only bring out the Gong family, but also give Bi Shijie a heavy blow, allowing Bi Shijie to divert attention to the other secret members he had.

As long as there are any abnormal movements in Bishi, Tan Zong may find clues from the daily activities of the Bi family, and then find out the "secrets" set up in Yangzhou City in Bishi, and then catch them all in one place!

When Tan Zong returned to the courtyard where Zhou Dunran was, Zhou Dunran was still sitting expressionlessly on the chair drinking tea. Lu Weimin and Bi Shijie, Han Tian was sitting by the side. The three of them didn't want Tan Zong to be as casual as they were. They didn't dare to leave a step except to go to the toilet, let alone have supper.

The atmosphere in the hall was tense and depressing. Tan Zong walked into the pavilion in the courtyard and brought a recliner, lying comfortably on it and closed his eyes to rest.

I don’t know how long it took, but Tan Zong, who was taking a nap, was awakened by a burst of rapid footsteps. When he looked up, Song Ming hurriedly walked into the yard and walked straight to the hall.

"The good show is about to begin." Tan Zong looked at Song Ming, smiled slightly, and slowly closed his eyes. In order not to make Bi Shijie suspicious, he would appear as an outsider later.

A moment later, a messy footsteps came to mind in the yard, and Song Ming led Zhou Dunran and the other four out of the hall.
Chapter completed!
