Signing in the Republic of China: starting from a foot patrol

Chapter 180 This is the last quiet night

However, Lin Hongfei's questions continued, and Ren Jiu could only honestly answer Lin Hongfei's questions one by one without hiding anything.

To Lin Hongfei's surprise, Ren Anfu, the commander of the militia, had more influence in Jiangdu County than he had imagined.

Not to mention on the surface, behind the scenes, except for the group of more than [-] bandits on Qipanshan.

In Songling Mountain, Mantou Mountain, and Beilonggou in Jiangdu County, there were also three groups of bandits entrenched, with a total of more than 400 people, all of whom were under Ren Anfu's orders.

Not only on land, but also in the river, there are two bands of water bandits who also follow Ren Anfu's orders, but their numbers are smaller, less than two hundred in total.

In other words, Ren Anfu's actual military force has reached nearly 4000 troops.

Moreover, Lin Hongfei was also surprised to find that he made up a lie last night, saying that Ren Anfu wanted to seek a job as a tour envoy in Jiangbei.

This matter turned out to be true!

It's just that Ren Anfu hasn't taken action to implement it yet, and hasn't started to win the relationship.

But Lin Hongfei is not a blind cat meeting a dead mouse. When he made up this nonsense, he also thought about it.

With a team of more than [-] people, it is already considered a big force in Lingnan Province.

As the leader of this team, no matter how small Ren Anfu's ambition is, it is impossible for him to stay in Jiangdu County forever. He will definitely find a way to find a good job for himself.

Therefore, this nonsense can hit the reality, but it also has a certain basis.

Under Ren Anfu, Ren Jiu is mainly responsible for contacting bandits, water bandits and other forces, and is mainly responsible for doing some shady black work, including such private things as spying on others and gathering intelligence.

Other than that, Ren Jiu doesn't touch anything.

Therefore, he didn't know where Ren Anfu's money was kept.

Apart from Ren Anfu, only Ren Anfu's most trusted butler, Ren Qi, knew about this matter.

It's just that Ren Qi's whereabouts are a little uncertain, even if Ren Jiu goes to and from Ren's mansion every day, he seldom meets Ren Qi.

In addition, Ren Anfu also has three confidantes, Ren Heizi, Ren Zhi, and Ren Xiang.

Ren Heizi was born as a bandit. After being subdued by Ren Anfu, he served as the deputy commander of the militia and helped Ren Anfu manage the affairs of the militia.

Ren Zhi manages the farms, properties, shops, etc. of the Ren family in the county.

Ren Xiang manages Ren's fleet and the business on the dock.

It can be said that these five people are Ren Anfu's biggest arms. If these five people can be eliminated, it will have an extremely adverse impact on Ren Anfu.

After asking all the key questions, Lin Hongfei squatted down, looked at Ren Jiu meaningfully and said:

"Ren Jiu, who is the person who can make you risk your life to protect?"

Under the effect of Veritaserum, Ren Jiu blurted out: "My daughter-in-law and my son!"

"why?"

"I, Ren Jiu, am an orphan. I have no father, no mother, and no home since I was a child."

"I have a daughter-in-law and a son, and I have a family!"

"Then where are they now?"

Although Lin Hongfei didn't take off the black cloth on his face, Ren Jiu could still feel the evil aura emanating from Lin Hongfei!

"She, they..."

Ren Jiu desperately restrained himself from revealing the whereabouts of his wife and children.

However, he underestimated the power of Veritaserum, and said, "They live in a two-story tile-roofed house in the west of Zouma Village, Jiangdu County."

As soon as these words came out, Ren Jiu's face was ashamed, his energy was gone, and his eyes were full of despair!

"Ren Jiu, thank you for your cooperation!"

"Your wife and children, I will help you take care of them!"

As soon as Lin Hongfei said this, Ren Jiu collapsed immediately. He struggled to kneel up, and then kowtowed to Lin Hongfei continuously. His forehead collided with the hard ground, and blood flowed out quickly.

"Master, I beg you!"

"You can treat me whatever you want, just give my wife and son a way out!"

"I beg you!"

"Tom tom tom..."

Ren Jiu begged for mercy with a desperate cry!

"Ha ha!"

"talk later!"

After leaving these words, Lin Hongfei turned his head and walked out of the cave. Ren Jiu's mournful cry still came from behind:

"My lord, I beg you, please kill me, please save my wife and children!"

However, only a ruthless back is left for Ren Jiu.

Walking out of the cave, Lin Hongfei immediately called Huo Yunshan and Guo Lang over, and told them where Ren Jiu's wife and children lived:

"Send a few people to tie his wife and children to Qipanshan!"

"Abduct Ren Jiu's wife and children, do you want to..." Huo Yunshan was thoughtful.

"Yes, Ren Jiu's wife and children are his weakness."

"Control them, and Ren Jiu can be used by us."

"Put such an eye next to Ren Anfu, it will be very useful!"

Huo Yunshan nodded: "Okay, I'll arrange this right away!"

"Also, Hongfei, if something like this happened, are we going to rob the Liang family's farm at night?"

When Lin Hongfei heard it, he immediately said, "Of course it's going to be a robbery!"

"Last night, I tried my best to instigate the relationship between the Liang family and Ren Anfu."

"Let you rob Liang Wanyi's farm in order to make Liang Wanyi suspicious of Ren Anfu."

"However, it can only be suspicion. After all, we can't leave enough false impressions to prove that Ren Anfu sent people to rob the farm."

"But now, with Ren Jiu, it's completely different!"

"As long as we deliberately leave a few survivors, then let Ren Jiu be exposed to these survivors."

"Hehe, Liang Wanyi will definitely hate Anfu completely when the time comes."

"In this way, the two of them will fight each other!"

At this time, Lin Hongfei pointed to the outside of the mountain and continued: "Also, don't forget that Ren Jiu is responsible for contacting bandits and water bandits."

"If I let him pass the order falsely, let these bandits and water bandits go and rob the surrounding wealthy gentry."

"Do you think Ren Anfu can still live a stable life? The gentry in the entire Jiangdu County have to join forces to fight Ren Anfu!"

Wu Yongquan, who was on the side, immediately laughed when he heard this: "Then we'll just sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and wait for them to pinch and hurt both, and then we'll end up cleaning up the mess."

"That's right!"

"Furthermore, with Ren Jiu as an internal agent, we have a chance to catch Ren Qi, the chief steward who knows where the Ren family's wealth is hidden."

"At that time, Ren Anfu will be able to evacuate all the wealth he has accumulated over the years in advance!"

"Once Ren Anfu and these gentry are finished, the entire Jiangdu County will be ours!"

Lin Hongfei stretched out his right hand and grabbed it hard towards the distance, as if he wanted to hold something in his hand.

At this moment, none of the gentry in Jiangdu County realized that tonight would be their last quiet night.

After tonight, the weather in Jiangdu County will change!
