At this moment, Su Yanqiu and his men also arrested the Song family and Li Bin.
Not long after Huo Haocheng and his group left, Su Yanqiu and his men secretly circled around the Song family's residence, especially the front and back gates. Whenever they saw someone coming out, they would immediately grab and tie them up.
So, when Song Cheng escorted Li Bin out, Su Yanqiu and Ge Xiaotian each tackled one of them to the ground, and then two soldiers quickly tied them up with ropes.
Just as Su Yanqiu and his men tackled the people, the other soldiers rushed in through the open back door, grabbing and tying up anyone they saw. Those who tried to resist were immediately shot at. The Song family had never seen anything like this before, and they were so frightened that all they could do was scream and hide under the table and bed.
"Don't arrest me! Don't arrest me! I don't know anything! This has nothing to do with me! If you want to arrest someone, arrest Song Cheng! It has nothing to do with me!" Seeing that someone had come to arrest them, Song Cheng's wife, Huang Mei, squatted down under the dressing table in her room, holding her head in her hands, and kept repeating the words that they should not arrest her.
The soldier who was arresting her didn't care what she was muttering at this moment, and went straight up to grab her. But just as he grabbed her, Huang Mei bit his hand that was holding her.
"Ah..." The moment the soldier felt the pain, his other hand grabbed Huang Mei's neck. To force her to let go, the soldier used a little force. Perhaps his action frightened Huang Mei. She thought the soldier was going to strangle her to death, so she let go and kept shrinking back.
In the end, she was no match for him and was captured by the soldiers, tied up, and brought before Su Yanqiu. "Captain, this person seems suspicious. She kept muttering something and even bit me." As she spoke, the soldier held out his bitten hand to Su Yanqiu.
Su Yanqiu glanced at Huang Mei, who was still muttering something, and then at the soldier she had bitten. "Take her to the car first, then disinfect yourself. Keep an eye on her and don't let her escape."
Seeing him like this, the other soldiers gave the Song family members even less of a friendly look. They went straight up and dragged them all out, tied them up with ropes, and put them in the car. A few soldiers were left to guard them, while Su Yanqiu and Ge Xiaotian led their men in several teams to search the area thoroughly, not even sparing the flowers in the yard.
Experience told them that every house with a yard must have something buried in the loosened ground. Sure enough, they dug up four large boxes about one meter high under the trees outside the house where the old man Song lived when he was still alive. They also found evidence on the roof beams inside the house that the Xu and Zhao families had asked them to do things for them.
These things were placed there when the Song family elders were still alive. When they passed away, they told Song Cheng about them and told him not to take them out unless absolutely necessary. So even when Song Baiyu and Song Yang had their accidents, Song Cheng didn't touch these things. What he didn't expect was that it was the only time he could touch them. He didn't touch them, and from then on, these things became the death knell for the Song family, the Xu family, and the Zhao family.
Later, Su Yanqiu was in Song Cheng's room. He saw that there was a small patch on the wall that was pasted with newspaper, while the rest of the house was made of blue bricks and tiles and was well maintained. This patch looked out of place.
Su Yanqiu tore all the newspapers off the wall, and then several sheets of paper floated out from them.
Upon picking it up, it was recorded that Old Mrs. Song had discovered the secret between Luo Yufeng and Luo Yufang. The way the old lady arranged marriages between her two daughters had bound the Song family together with the Xu and Zhao families. She also stated that since they were still together, the Xu and Zhao families had to protect the Song family, otherwise Old Mrs. Song would report that they were S-class spies.
At the same time, she also told them not to try to harm them, because she would tell someone she trusted about this matter. As long as something happened to the Song family, that person would report the matter, and then everyone would fight to the death.
However, the letter did not specify who she told about this.
After putting away the letter, Su Yanqiu searched the room for a while, and finding nothing, went out to meet up with Ge Xiaotian and the others.
"So, what did you find?" Ge Xiaotian and his men dug up the entire courtyard. It has to be said that the Song family really dotes on their daughter, Song Baiyu.
In the room where she had stayed before, Ge Xiaotian first found a box of various banknotes, and then dug up two boxes of gold, jade pendants and antiques in the ground outside her room. Presumably, these were all left for her as her dowry!
After the search of the Song family was completed, Su Yanqiu asked Ge Xiaotian to lead a team to take the Song family members and several boxes of treasure back to the base first, and then he led another team to Li Bin's house.
It has to be said that people who grew up in the same dormitory really do the same things.
When Su Yanqiu and his group arrived at Li Bin's house, Bai Sirui and his men had already searched all the rooms on the first floor.
"So, did you find anything?" When they arrived, they saw that the gate to the outer courtyard was open, and they could vaguely hear Bai Sirui's voice, so Su Yanqiu and the others did not make any preparations and simply pushed the door open and walked in.
“You’ve come at the right time. We’ve searched the first floor but didn’t find anything. I have a feeling there must be a lot of things in your front and back yards and the grounds,” Bai Sirui said to Su Yanqiu.
He had been thinking that Su Yanqiu and the others would probably think of this place after they finished their business there. He was afraid that they wouldn't think of it and would just take their people back. If that were the case, there would be only five of them. In such a big place, they probably wouldn't be able to find everything by dawn. But now it's clear that they all thought the same thing and brought so many people with them.
Afterwards, Su Yanqiu led his men to dig up the entire yard again. Just as Bai Sirui had said, all the good stuff that Li Bin had looted from the Revolutionary Committee was probably buried in his backyard.
The entire backyard was filled with pits dug by Su Yanqiu and his group. At first glance, it looked like they had entered an archaeological site and were digging for cultural relics!
Ruan Shaoke and his team also found Zhao's letters and telegrams in the same spot on Li Bin's bed and Li Dong's bed. Then, behind the bookshelf in his study, they found evidence of how he had used his position to suppress and frame others over the years, including the Lan family.
The letter was written by Zhao Zhenghua. In it, he stated that he and Xu Zhaohui had failed to win over Lan Zhiyu, and that he was like a rock in a latrine, stinking and stubborn, inflexible and unyielding. He told Li Bin to find an opportunity to frame the Lan family and send them all to the harsh Northwest. They wanted to show Lan Zhiyu the consequences of opposing him.
