About two incense sticks, just as Tan Zong was paced back and forth in the yard, a messy footsteps suddenly came from the door. He turned his head and saw Zhao Yan walking in with a knife in his right hand.

Zhao Yan was stabbed in his left arm, and his sleeves were stained with blood. Except for Chen San and Shen Si, the people following him were injured to varying degrees.

"What's wrong?" Seeing this, Tan Zong knew that Zhao Yan was ambushed by Xu Zong, so he hurriedly went up to him and asked in discomfort.

"Xu Laosi was prepared for a long time. If it weren't for the brothers Chen San and Shen Si, we might not have come back!" Zhao Yan threw the way in his hand on the ground and said angrily, "My cousin's wife and Rongrong must have been done by the Xu family. If it weren't for being guilty, why did Xu Laosi arrange so many people at home? I will definitely avenge this revenge."

When Zhao Yan led people to Xuji Silk and Satin Village, the gatekeeper saw that the situation was not good, so he ran in, looking very panicked.

Just when Zhao Yan thought he was sure to catch Xu Zong, he entered the yard and found that Xu Zong had arranged three times their manpower in the yard and surrounded them. Xu Zong stood outside the hall with a sneer and looked at him.

Zhao Yan asked Xu Zong to hand over Xu Wu, but Xu Zong naturally refused. The two sides had a disagreement and fought.

Due to the disadvantage of numbers, Zhao Yan suffered a great loss. Not only were the people he brought were cut down, but he was also in danger. If Chen San and Shen Si had not rushed in at the critical moment and broke out a way, allowing him and his brothers to escape, he would have become Xu Zong's prisoner tonight.

"Since my uncle has reported to the official, we will wait for the government to handle this matter tomorrow." Zhao Yan was unwilling to be dismissed by Xu Zong and was about to send someone to gather the people from the Liu family in the county town and then go to Xu Zong to seek justice, but was stopped by Tan Zong.

"It's a bargain." Zhao Yan felt that Tan Zong was right and kicked a flower pot under his feet indignantly.

The fire between Zhao Yan and Xu Zong soon spread in Kunshan County. On the next day, a sensational news shocked the entire county: Zhao Rong, who was regarded as the pearl in her palm by Zhao Baifa, was kidnapped by kidnappers, and Qiao Yu, the wife of Chen, who taught Xu Wu a lesson at Yunji Restaurant.

At the same time, the people connected the kidnappers with the Xu family. People who dared to touch the Zhao family in Kunshan County did not think of any other family except the Xu family.

Besides, if the kidnappers really want to rob money, then why did they let the Xu family go just to kidnap the Zhao family? If the Xu family is kidnapped, they can also get a generous ransom.

The next morning, Kunshan County Government Office, a wing room.

"Mr. Zhao, I am deeply regretful to love." A middle-aged thin man in a seventh-rank official smiled bitterly at Zhao Baifa who was sitting beside him, and said, "I understand your mood, but according to the Dashun Law, without conclusive evidence, I cannot want Xu Wu, so I can only send him to ask questions."

The middle-aged thin man is Qi Feipeng, the county magistrate of Kunshan County. The Xu family and the Zhao family are both powerful local forces, and he cannot afford to offend any of them. Therefore, he is ready to act according to the opportunity and handle the case impartially so that others can't find fault.

"Since that's the case, sir, will send Xu Wu." Zhao Baifa, a tall middle-aged man with thick eyebrows, pondered for a moment and said.

"Maybe it will disappoint Mr. Zhao. I received a report from the Xu family last night. Xu Wu has not appeared for five or six days. They suspect that Xu Wu has been kidnapped." Qi Feipeng shook his head without regret when he heard this.

Tan Zong sat in the head of Zhao Baifa. When he heard this, he looked at Zhao Yan who was sitting aside. Zhao Yan would never believe what the Xu family said.

"Fuck, what's the matter kidnapped? You're obviously hiding." Sure enough, Zhao Yan slapped the table with his right hand and stood up. His left arm had been bandaged and hung on his chest.

"Rareless!" Zhao Baifa glared at Zhao Yan when he heard this, and said, "How can you let go of your wildness in front of you!"

"I am excited for the next moment, I hope you will atone for your sins." Zhao Yan came back to his senses and quickly bowed to Qi Feipeng and said.

"I understand Mr. Zhao's current mood. I have asked someone to post a notice to find Xu Wu." Qi Feipeng shook his head indifferently and said to Zhao Baifa with a smile.

"Since that's the case, I'm sorry, Lord Qi." Zhao Baifa bowed his hand at Qi Feipeng after hearing this.

"Where, where, this is what I should do." Qi Feipeng waved his hand with a smile, "As long as Xu Wu is found, I will definitely be the first to notify Mr. Zhao."

"Mr. Qi, in the next few days, Cousin Yan has secretly investigated the kidnapping of his wife and cousin. He has already had some clues and hope it will be useful to him." Seeing that Zhao Baifa was about to get up and say goodbye, Tan Zong suddenly spoke and said in a deep voice.

"This person must be Mr. Shen. If you have any clues, just say it." Qi Feipeng knew Tan Zong's identity, smiled and said generously.

"So, my cousin suspects that my wife and cousin are in this county town, Xuji Silk and Satin Village, Tianji Grain Shop and Maji Salt Shop are the most suspicious." After receiving Qi Feipeng's permission, Tan Zong talked happily, told Qi Feipeng aside the situation he had analyzed to Zhao Yan, and finally said solemnly.

"Mr. Shen meant that he wanted to search Xuji Silk and Satin Village, Tianji Grain Shop and Maji Salt Shop?" Qi Feipeng nodded when he heard this and looked at Tan Zong. He felt that what Tan Zong said was quite reasonable.

"It's up to the Lord to take charge of everything." Tan Zong bowed to Qi Feipeng and said in a deep voice. He would not express his thoughts, so as not to overturn the host.

"Come on, let Zhangputou come." Qi Feipeng pondered for a moment and shouted at the man outside the door.

Since Tan Zong's analysis is reasonable, Qi Feipeng cannot be ignored. He is planning to ask Captain Zhang to take people to Xuji Silk and Satin Village, Tianji Grain Shop and Maji Salt Shop to search and give the Zhao family an explanation.

Not long after, Zhang Tie took the order issued by Qi Feipeng and led a group of public men to the county government office to search for Xuji Silk and Satin Village, Tianji Grain Shop and Maji Salt Shop. Tan Zong and Zhao Yan followed Zhang Tie. The two of them received Qi Feipeng's permission and could participate in the whole process.

Zhang Tie first sent someone to guard the doors of Xuji Silk and Satin Village, Tianji Grain Shop and Maji Salt Shop, and then started from Maji Salt Shop first.

"Master Zhang, what's the matter?" When Zhang Tie led the man into the Maji Salt Shop, a middle-aged man with two beards greeted him with a smile.

"Baixian Master, come here to search, please gather the people in the store." Zhang Tie said at the middle-aged man with a bearded expressionless face and raised the sign in his hand.

The middle-aged man with a beard was stunned for a moment, and then concentrated all the people in the store in the yard. Zhang Tie waved his hand and the men searched everywhere.

Tan Zong glanced at the middle-aged man with a normal expression, and followed several men to the warehouse in the backyard, a shopkeeper opened the warehouse door.

The warehouse is very large and full of salt bags. The salt used by the people of Kunshan County is sent out from here. In order to prevent moisture, the ground is covered with blue bricks, and wooden shelves are placed on the blue bricks, and salt bags are all on the wooden shelves.

The public were walking around in the warehouse, checking every place, and Tan Zong followed them quietly, observing every place carefully.

As he walked, Tan Zong suddenly stopped, leaned down, reached out to wipe the blue bricks on the floor, and saw a few fresh grains of rice appearing in the gap between the two blue bricks. Most of the rice was covered with dust. If he didn't look carefully, he would never find it.

Tan Zong then stood up and walked to another place as if nothing had happened. With these new grains of rice, he knew that the food must have been stored here.

As Tan Zong thought of evil, the public checked all the places and found no abnormalities. After the middle-aged man with a bearded smile on his face, Zhang Tie led the man out of the salt shop and walked towards the grain shop.

When he passed by the middle-aged man with a mustache, the middle-aged man with a mustache smiled friendly to Tan Zong. Out of politeness, Tan Zong also smiled at him.

From the smile of the beard, Tan Zong vaguely noticed a hint of pride. I am afraid that the middle-aged man with the beard was mocking Tan Zong and the public for being incompetent, and so many people could not find the secret of the warehouse.

The shopkeeper of Tianji Grain Store was a short and fat middle-aged man. According to Zhang Tie's request, he concentrated all the shop's friends in the yard.

Like last time, Tan Zong followed the public to the warehouse in the backyard. In order to prevent moisture, the floor here was covered with blue bricks, but above the blue bricks were a layer of wooden boards set up by bricks, and grain bags were piled densely on it.

With the experience of salt shops, Tan Zong focused his attention between the gaps of the blue bricks. He took a small wooden stick and took advantage of the public not paying attention, he would pull it in the cracks of the bricks on the ground from time to time.

Finally, when the public was about to end the search in the grain store, Tan Zong found many small white particles like sugar in a crack in a brick. After frowned slightly, he checked the nearby brick gap and found that there were also these small white particles in the nearby brick gap.

Tan Zong picked out some of the small white particles from the cracks of the bricks, put them in a handkerchief and wrapped them in a handkerchief, then filled the cracks of the bricks with mud, suppressing the ecstasy in his heart, and left quietly.

If he was not mistaken, these small white particles should be salt particles. Someone accidentally broke the salt bag during the transportation process, which resulted in the salt particles rolling into the cracks of the bricks, causing the cleaning staff to ignore them.
