Chapter 220 The Secret of the Stone Hill
Jiang Chuan was greatly relieved when Wu Cheng and his son were arrested.
Seeing that Wu Cheng and his son were unconscious and still in a dying state, he simply asked Gao Wen to change their medicine and spend some time to wake the two men up. After all, some things had to be pried out from their mouths.
For example, who did they trade with, who did they sell the grain to, and how much did they sell in total? They were not instructed by anyone.
Gao Wen was unconscious on purpose in order to prevent Wu Cheng and his son from doing something strange, fearing that he could not control them.
It's also easy to wake them up now.
Gao Wen cleaned the wounds of the two people quickly and replaced the wound medicine. After a few more injections, Wu Chengji woke up half-dead.
Wu Cheng wanted to struggle to get up, but after trying for a long time, it was in vain.
Looking at the surroundings and thinking about the wound on his chest, Wu Cheng guessed that he was rescued after being killed.
Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Jiang Chuan standing at the prison door. Wu Cheng's body softened and he collapsed on the bed. He knew that this time he was completely finished.
Just close your eyes and stop struggling.
Jiang Chuan ignored him and had his son moved out and put in another cell, and then ordered that no light be turned on inside. He simply told people to close the door and leave it completely dark.
Wu Cheng slept for a while and woke up. No one was paying attention to him and he could only hear the sound of dripping water.
After another sleep, no one came to help me. I couldn't help but feel a little panicked. What on earth was Jiang Chuan trying to do? He didn't interrogate me, but locked me up like this.
I crawled to the door and touched a steamed bun. I struggled to eat it.
After Jiang Chuan left, he returned to his room and immediately wrote a letter to Duke Fu, asking him to find out which family in the capital had a housekeeper named Dai.
Then follow this line to find a woman named Su Ye and her son Daofeng.
While doing all this, Jiang Chuan did not hide it from Chen Wu.
Seeing the carrier pigeon carrying the letter to the capital, Chen Wu was anxious and nervous. An idea flashed in his mind. He remembered that Scarface told him that if he met a good official, he would take him to the big rock where they met, but what should he see? His elder brother didn't say.
Chen Wu was a little confused. What if he took it there and couldn't find anything? Would he blame Yu?
Seeing Chen Wu hesitated to speak, Jiang Chuan sat down and poured two cups of tea. Sister took a sip from one cup and handed one to Chen Wu; "Just say whatever you want to say."
"Master Jiangchuan, I don't know whether I should tell you or not. I'm afraid it will be useless to tell you and it will waste your time." Chen Wu said a little nervously, then took the tea and drank it in one gulp.
"How do you know that what you said is useless if you don't tell us? Maybe what you said is exactly what we need most."
"I want to take you to a place. Someone once told me that if I met a good official, he would take me to that place, but I don't know what the point of going there is."
Jiang Chuan stood up and thought of the father and son of the Wu family that Chen Wu had brought with him. Since someone said so, there must be something hidden in this place. "Chen Wu, come on, take us to have a look. It doesn't matter if it's useless, just take it as a trip."
"Okay, I'll take you there right away."
When Jiangchuan went out, Uncle Huo and Uncle Lang went up to him, gave him a secret signal, and followed him.
Soon, someone outside released the letter.
Jiang Chuan got on his horse, and the people following him set off immediately. Since the last time Jiang Chuan got into trouble, now that Master Fu is by his side, the number of visible and covert guards has increased a lot.
Many of the elite soldiers in Duke Fu's mansion were left behind by Duke Fu to protect Jiang Chuan, for fear that this precious treasure would be hurt.
After more than an hour, Chen Wu brought the group of people to a large rock on a hill of rocks.
Pointing to the big rock in front of him, Chen Wu told Jiang Chuan that this was the place. But Chen Wu couldn't tell what they were looking at specifically.
Jiang Chuan led Uncle Huo and Uncle Lang and slowly moved along the big stone, observing as they walked.
This big rock is very big, and there are some small rocks stacked underneath it. They are in a disorderly manner, as if they were there naturally.
Jiang Chuan couldn't figure out what was going on. Uncle Wolf and Uncle Fire were old hands. They just kept turning and turning until they got into the cracks in the rocks.
Jiang Chuan leaned over and looked over, and found a small cave inside. The two men fiddled around in it for a while, and finally took out a box.
Uncle Huo tested the box and found it to be non-toxic. He then handed it to Jiang Chuan with confidence.
Jiang Chuan raised his knife and chopped open the lock of the box cleanly and easily.
There was no gold, silver or treasure inside, only a rectangular object wrapped in cloth that looked like a book.
After pulling open the cloth, he found two account books inside. He picked up one of them and began to read it.
After watching it, Jiang Chuan slapped the stone with his palm. The anger in his body seemed to be bursting out, but he finally controlled it.
He looked at the two account books, carefully wrapped them up, and then held them in his hands. His face was cold, and his eyes were almost spitting fire.
He climbed onto the horse's back, and without saying a word, rode back.
