Chapter 47: Borrowing a Knife to Kill

Wait for the news to be passed to Manager Tao.

When Manager Tao saw the address of the tavern, he was silent for a long time before asking the visitor to tell Qin Chi.

That is the new subordinate of Manager Tao.

He usually does some odd jobs to sell intelligence. He doesn't open the shop during normal times, but only makes a living for half a year. This is because Lao Huo almost got into trouble, which made Qin Chi realize his shortcomings and asked Shopkeeper Tao to strengthen the intelligence network.

Qin Chi quickly found out what Song Jin was doing in the tavern.

Song Jin bought some intelligence.

The main purpose was to ask Huang Bingliang to go to his place of residence in She County and then send a message to Mr. Zeng.

"Madam sent an anonymous message to Mr. Zeng, forcing him to send 10,000 taels to Huang Bingliang's whereabouts, otherwise both sides would be destroyed..."

Old Huo was very surprised when he received the news.

Qin Chi had a vague guess about what Song Jin was going to do. "She wants to kill someone with a borrowed knife. Keep an eye on her. If you have the chance, help her secretly."

"Okay, sir. I'll do it right away."

At this time, Song Jin didn't know that someone was watching him.

Song Jin opened the information he purchased.

In her previous life, she knew about this tavern, which was related to intelligence about all the big and small businesses in She County. This tavern sold everything and would occasionally take on private work.

The way to screen normal guests from abnormal guests is like a stepping stone: first buy half a pound of osmanthus wine and then pay ten times the price.

Qin Chi's men soon discovered that Song Jin had left the inn again.

People are heading towards the poor community in the south city.

Originally, Song Jin was going for Huang Bingliang.

As I was walking through a quiet alley and passed by a dilapidated building, I happened to hear a severe cough coming from inside.

"Sister, take the medicine quickly. You will get better after taking it."

It was the anxious voice of a boy.

This voice sounded strange yet familiar to Song Jin.

Just this sense of familiarity made Song Jin stop and look into the half-ruined house in the moonlight. There was a small fire burning on the floor of the main room, illuminating the situation inside the house very clearly.

In the haystack in the corner, there lay a skinny little girl.

The young boy in tattered clothes half-knelt beside the little girl, holding a broken bowl to feed her medicine, but he couldn't feed it and was so anxious that he was about to cry.

Seeing the boy's profile, Song Jin suddenly thought of someone.

That is to say, in his previous life, Xing Lun had a confidant named Lou Ruhan.

When Song Jin met this man, he was already an adult. He was usually taciturn and kept to himself, but he had a ruthlessness that no one else had.

I heard that his family was well off when he was young, and he had no worries about food and clothing. However, his parents died suddenly in an accident, and his family property was seized by his relatives. When he overheard that someone was planning to sell him and his sister, he ran away with his sister.

He lived by begging, and later his sister fell ill and died.

Later, he was beaten seriously and it was Xing Lun who saved him.

Then, Lou Ruhan started working beside Xing Lun.

Later, Xing Lun was ambushed and Lou Ruhan protected him with his life. Only then did Song Jin bring people to rescue him, but Lou Ruhan died due to his injuries.

Song Jinhui was impressed by him.

It was after his death that Xing Lun became depressed for a while.

Song Jin suddenly said, "Child, come here."

Lou Ruhan in the room turned around when he heard the sound, and stood in front of his sister cautiously, looking at the figure standing outside the door. At night, the figure was not clear enough, but he knew that the figure was not very tall.

"If you do something for grandpa, I'll give you money to treat your sister." Song Jin said in a deliberately hoarse voice.

Lou Ruhan asked cautiously: "What are you doing?"

"When your sister recovers from her illness, go to Jifang Pharmacy in Yi County and tell her that everything is fine when I come to the city." Song Jin took out a ten-liang silver ingot from his pocket.

"Is it that simple?"

Even Lou Ruhan was wary and suspicious.

As long as it means saving my sister, I will take any risk.

Song Jin put the silver on the doorstep and turned to leave.

Lou Ruhan put down half a bowl of medicine, ran quickly to the threshold and grabbed the silver. The first thing he did was to put the silver in his mouth and take a bite. To confirm that it was real, he was immediately overjoyed.

He quickly carried his unconscious sister on his back and ran to the nearest clinic to see a doctor.

Song Jin stood in the shadows and watched the two walk away.

The people who were hiding in the dark to protect Song Jin witnessed all this and envied Lou Ruhan, secretly thinking that he was such a lucky boy. However, although Song Jin's actions puzzled them, they also greatly favored him.

It is always better to protect those who have good intentions than those who are cruel and ruthless.

Qin Chi was also surprised by Song Jin's behavior.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

This doesn't seem to be consistent with her character, unless she has known the brother and sister for a long time?

Song Jin didn't know that his sudden impulse to help others would lead to so much speculation from others.

Continuing to rush to where Huang Bingliang is staying.

At the same time, there was another group of people who shared her direction.

This area of ​​South City is a mixed crowd, and most of the residents are poor.

Song Jin dressed like a poor old man, so even if someone saw her, they would not think she was a fat sheep.

Just as he arrived at the small courtyard where Huang Bingliang temporarily stayed, Song Jin discovered another group of people quietly climbing over the wall of the courtyard before he even got close.

After a while, sounds of fighting were heard from inside.

A moment later, Huang Bingliang ran out covered in blood, with two masked men chasing after him.

Huang Bingliang's way of survival was blocked, and he said angrily: "You thief! Mr. Zeng has no moral principles. Even if I die here today, the Zeng family will never have an easy life!"

"Hehehe, the last person who dared to threaten the Second Master was already stomped to death and fed to the dogs..."

The man who was chasing him sneered and raised his knife to chop at Huang Bingliang again.

Those who came to kill Huang Bingliang were indeed arranged by Mr. Zeng.

Mr. Zeng had been arrogant and domineering all his life and had never been threatened by anyone. At first, he didn't know who the other party was. When the person sent to investigate said that he had seen Huang Bingliang, he immediately thought of the incident in Yi County.

The plan to take over Jifang Pharmacy failed.

What's more, if it's hiring someone to kill someone, the government won't take care of it unless it's brought to light.

But things are different when they are laid out in the open.

The magistrate of Yi County had taken some kind of wrong medicine. Not only did he refuse to accept the bribe, he was also determined to track down the real culprit.

Mr. Zeng wanted to silence the witness immediately.

The guards hired by the Zeng family were all desperate criminals who had committed many murders and arson.

Huang Bingliang was eventually hacked to death.

Song Jin witnessed this bloody scene, and when the masked men retreated, she secretly followed them all the way to an old house several hundred meters away.

The murderers all went in here.

Song Jin looked at the high courtyard wall.

It is not easy for ordinary people to climb in. The two doors look like they are decades old, but you can tell that this place must have been built by a rich person in the past. It’s just that it is abandoned and no one lives there now.

Song Jin walked back a distance and picked out two long firewoods as thick as a child's arm from the firewood pile in the corner.

He quietly came to the gate of the house and passed a piece of wood through the two copper rings on the gate.

This way, it would be difficult for the people inside to open the door.
