Chapter 69 Yijin
After many people looked at each other for a while, they quickly gathered around.
On the Zheng family’s side, the guards guarding the door had already gone in to report, while others were blocking the door.
“stop!”
“what for?”
“The City Security Department is handling the case, so don’t disturb it.”
If it were in the past, if a scattered three or five officers saw so many people from all sides, they would probably have no confidence, let alone speak or ask questions.
But now, the dignified Zheng family was destroyed overnight and their homes were ransacked on the spot. It can be said that it suddenly gave many officers unprecedented confidence. Everyone felt that the City Guards Department was completely different from the past!
These shouts and questions were not only full of confidence, but also stern.
“snort!”
However, the Liusha Gang did not accept this trick. Sha Xiangtian, the leader of the gang with a ferocious scar on his face, said solemnly: “What did you do to the Zheng family?”
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a voice coming from inside.
“The Zheng family smuggled medicinal materials and resisted with force. Now the resisters have been executed and their homes confiscated. Is Gang Leader Sha planning to rebel with the Zheng family?”
Shang Qinglai walked out of Zheng’s house with a cold face and a cold and stern tone in his voice.
Although the scene in front of them basically explained everything, Sha Xiangtian and others still froze when they heard Shang Qinglai personally say that the Zheng family had been wiped out and their homes confiscated.
The first reaction is that it is impossible.
Where does the City Guards have such great ability?
But the scene in front of me, if the main force of the Zheng family was still there, how could it be possible to be reduced to this situation where the house was ransacked.
“Master Shang is so majestic. If you say smuggling is smuggling…”
After Sha Xiangtian calmed down, he was not pushed back by a bad move, so he replied coldly.
However, looking at this situation, I really couldn’t figure out the details of the City Guards Department. I just felt that what happened tonight was extremely strange. After thinking for a moment with a sullen face, I looked at Shang Qinglai and others who were looking at each other with cold expressions, and finally said… Wave.
“Walk!”
The destruction of the Zheng family is a foregone conclusion, and the situation is completely unclear at the moment, so there is no need to conflict with the City Guard.
We’ll have to wait until tomorrow to find out more about the situation.
Following Sha Xiangtian’s order, a large number of Liusha Gang people left one after another. After the remaining people from other forces looked at each other, they suppressed the shock in their hearts and quickly left each other, returning to their respective homes. Report.
Seeing the furious hundreds of people leaving in an instant, Shang Qinglai’s face relaxed and he felt as smooth as ever.
This is the power that the City Guard Department should have! In the past, no group of gangs had any fear of the City Guards, but after tonight, Wutongli will be turned upside down!
Any gang force that faces the City Guards again will be afraid of giving in! The person who brought all this was Chen Mu, the new chief who had only been in office for just five days. Although he was much younger, at this time, everything from strength to means and courage had made him surrender from the bottom of his heart.
At this time, Chen Mu did not pay attention to the movement outside. Although he had received reports from his subordinates, he knew very well that the people outside did not dare to act rashly if they did not understand the situation and would inevitably retreat quickly.
Moreover.
Even if the Quicksand Gang really dared to lead the main force to fight against the City Guards, it would be nothing to Chen Mu. It would just make the noise bigger and destroy one more force tomorrow.
“Master Chaosi, the people outside have retreated.”
Shang Qinglai appeared behind Chen Mu and reported to Chen Mu respectfully.
Chen Mu nodded slightly and didn’t care.
At this time, the search of the Zheng family’s home was already more than half complete. The servants who had been captured were tied up and detained in one courtyard, and the female family members were detained in another courtyard.
Zhang Tong came to report: “Master Chasi, we found some prohibited crossbows, armor, and medicinal materials, but we only have a few hundred taels in cash…”
Chen Mu said calmly: “Continue searching to see if there is a dark room.”
It is obviously impossible for the Zheng family to have such a big family fortune and only have a few hundred taels of silver.
He chose to attack the Zheng family, burning the first flame of his appointment directly on the Zheng family. It was not entirely because the Zheng family tried to give him eye drops on the first day, or because the Zheng family’s family fortune and wealth were always It’s more powerful than the Liusha Gang and other forces.
Gangs such as the Liusha Gang, to put it bluntly, are just gangs. It only took a few years from their emergence to their rise. Most of them are desperadoes who got together, but it has been decades since the Zheng family has been entrenched in Wutong.
“yes.”
Zhang Tong responded and immediately took people down to search carefully. At the same time, he ordered people to interrogate the Zheng family.
After a while.
Zhang Tong reported that he found something unusual in the Zheng family’s study. There seemed to be a dark room, but no mechanism could be found.
After hearing this, Chen Mu let Zhang Tong lead the way, and quickly bypassed several courtyards and arrived at a separate courtyard of the Zheng family. The small study was quite exquisitely decorated, and the stacked books were all clean and dust-free. Apparently there is regular cleaning.
Some officers were knocking around inside, looking for the secret.
Finally, someone tried to move a flowerpot, but found it was too heavy to lift. After moving it a few times, the bookshelf suddenly became loose. After it was pulled open to both sides, a secret passage appeared.
“Sir, the darkroom was found.”
Upon seeing this, Zhang Tong and others immediately returned to Chen Mu to report, but did not go down to check.
Chen Mu nodded slightly, and immediately stepped into the secret passage. Zhang Tong, Shang Qinglai and others did not follow immediately, but silently guarded the door.
The secret passage is a staircase that slopes downward. After walking for a short distance, you come to a small underground room that is not very large. There are many boxes piled up in the small room.
Chen Mu picked one up casually.
What is revealed inside is ingot after ingot of snowflake silver.
After a cursory glance around, if the many wooden boxes here were filled with silver taels, they would add up to tens of thousands of taels, which is more than dozens of times Chen Mu’s current total net worth.
However, Chen Mu was not very interested in these idle silver coins. He walked a few more steps inside. After bypassing the large wooden box, there were some small wooden boxes inside. After opening them, there were pieces of gold leaves, and the number was also small. Quite a few.
“Um?”
Just when Chen Mu casually opened several small wooden boxes, thinking they were all gold leaves, he suddenly saw stacks of things wrapped in oil paper in one of the boxes.
After opening one, I found it was an unknown medicinal material.
To be placed here on purpose is probably not an ordinary thing. It should be of a very precious type.
I opened a few more oil paper bags, and they were all the same inside.
But when Chen Mu opened the last oil paper package, a pill that looked like a black pearl and exuded a strange medicinal fragrance was revealed inside.
“Hey, this is…”
Chen Mu’s eyes moved, revealing a hint of surprise.
He couldn’t identify the medicinal materials, but the pill in front of him was his first time seeing it, but because he had learned a lot about it before, based on its appearance and taste, he immediately thought of something.
Yijin Pills.
There is such a good thing in the Zheng family’s collection.
