After a night of fighting the fire, at dawn the next day, the fire in the entire hotel was extinguished.
Fifty or sixty people were killed or injured among the guards of the mission. The house where Su Chen lived was the most severely affected by the fire. After one night, it had become a piece of rubble. Four or five corpses could be vaguely found inside.
Cheng Dexuan ordered Wu Zuo to personally inspect the corpses to identify the men, women and ages to see if they were Su Chen and his family members.
Wu Zuo immediately checked, but judging from the burnt corpses after death, there were two men and three women. There should be the missing killer, as well as Su Chen himself and his wife.
There were also two men in another room, probably his book boy and bodyguard, and they were all killed.
"Not a single person was left alive. They were all killed." Cheng Dexuan murmured to himself. He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell. After all, all the corpses were here, already burnt and unrecognizable from their appearance.
.
But Wu Zuo confirmed that there were the bodies of a young man and three young women, and Cheng Dequan had nothing to say.
Liang Jiong said angrily: "These people are so crazy that they actually killed Mr. Su. It is a heinous crime."
No one would have thought that Su Chen, a talented man from Jiangzuo, would have an accident on his way north to the Song Dynasty, at the first stop of Yangzhou, which made people sigh.
Cheng Dexuan said to Liang Jiong: "We must find out who is related to the murderer behind the scenes, so that we can explain it to the court. Otherwise, if you and I are responsible for this dereliction of duty, I am afraid we will also bear a heavy responsibility."
Yang Jiong nodded and replied: "Master Cheng, we have examined all the corpses of some assassins in black. They should be from the south, not from the Khitan and Northern Han Dynasties in the north, because judging from the bones, they have the characteristics of Jiangnan bones.
Moreover, we also captured a living assassin who was already wounded. After last night's interrogation, according to his confession, they were sent by Wei Cen of the Tang Dynasty to assassinate Su Chen."
Cheng Dexuan showed surprise: "Wei Cen? That was the leader of the Song Party in the Tang court. They were worried that Su Chen would go north and such a talent would fall into the Song Dynasty, which would be detrimental to the Southern Tang Dynasty, so they sent people to commit suicide on the way.
"
"Yes, yes, I think so too. It makes perfect sense." Liang Jiong said.
However, Cheng Dequan also had doubts and said: "We can't listen to his side of the matter yet. Does he have any proof that Wei Cen sent him here?"
Liang Jong replied: "We have also asked about this. Since this bodyguard assassin was just an ordinary killer, no letters or warrants were found on him. However, according to him, one of the dead assassins was one he was familiar with.
Man, that man’s name is Liao Han, and he is a general of Wei Cen’s family. We can identify the authenticity of lies through this named Liao Han general. If that man is indeed a member of Wei Cen’s family, then the situation will be clear.
."
Hearing this, Cheng Dexuan said: "It makes sense. You should send someone to investigate this matter. Go to Jinling immediately to find out whether there is a general named Liao Han in Wei Cen's house. He has disappeared recently or his whereabouts are unknown, and his whereabouts are unknown.
Take his portrait and you can ask."
Liang Jong nodded and said: "No problem, I will find a painter immediately, draw a portrait of Liao Han, and take it to Jinling City for investigation. However, should the news of Su Chen's murder be blocked?"
Cheng Dexuan thought for a while and said: "Don't block it, publish it and let the world know. After all, this incident really happened and was not faked by ourselves. At most, we just didn't protect it well, but we don't have to bear other responsibilities, otherwise
, we are blocking the news now. If the news of Su Chen’s murder comes out in a few days, others may not believe it and think that we were the perpetrators on the way. By then, even if we jump into the Yangtze River, we won’t be able to clean it up.”
"Oh, that makes sense. Mr. Cheng is very thoughtful!" Liang Jiong nodded in agreement.
Cheng Dexuan showed concern on the surface, but in fact he was as clear as a mirror. He had made preparations for this before. Once Su Chen was unwilling to join Zhao Guangyi's camp, he would also take some measures to kill Su Chen and then blame the Northern Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty.
, Khitan and other forces, now, he felt that there was no need to use them, but someone took the lead and assassinated Su Chen and his family members, and what he did was even more vicious than what he had originally planned.
It was precisely because of this that Cheng Dexuan felt a little familiar and confused. It was enough to assassinate Su Chen. There was no need to set fire to all the people accompanying him and destroy the corpses and traces!
Liang Jiong did not have these thoughts, and directly sent people to find the painter, and asked the surviving assassin to identify Liao Han's body, then draw a portrait of the deceased and take it to Jinling for secret investigation.
Who would have thought that these were all traps designed by Su Chen in advance!
.........
Three days later, Su Chen arrived at a small island in a big boat.
This is one of the more than twenty islands controlled by Heiyun City. There are very few residents on the island and it is relatively quiet. The entire island is temporarily given up to Su Chen and others to live in. After all, it is not suitable for him to be exposed, so he can only hide on the island for a period of time.
Time, avoid the limelight.
Dozens of people came out from the clothes, all of whom were the dead soldiers that Jing Hong led to rescue this time. Su Chen asked Jing Hong to select a group of orphans to take to Beigu Villa for training. A year later, they really came in handy.
At this time, only using your own people is the most reliable.
"After being in a cage for a long time, return to nature!"
Su Chen stood on the island, looking at the primitive woods and the endless sea. Everything was natural, and his heart became peaceful and calm.
Peng Jingjing, Bai Susu, and Liu Menong all disguised themselves as men. Standing next to Su Chen, they felt their husbands' calmness and calmness, and they suddenly felt extremely at ease.
Her husband is like a mountain, giving them stability and security.
Su Chen said with emotion: "Next, we will stay on the island for a few months, wait and see the development of the situation in the Tang and Song countries, and by the way, think about how we should take the next step step by step!"
"Ms. sir, we all listen to you and believe you!" Bai Susu said firmly.
"Okay, then let's work hard together!"
Peng Jingjing said optimistically at this time: "Does this look like Spirit Snake Island, the martial arts story where Zhang Wuji, Zhao Min, Zhou Zhiruo, Xiao Zhao and others lived on the island?"
Liu Mo Nong chuckled and said: "Those are all written by Mr. Xianggong, they can't be taken as true!"
Peng Jingjing clapped her hands and said, "I just like my husband's martial arts stories. To me, they are more fascinating and enjoyable than those poems and songs!"
Bai Susu joked: "If you get bored on the island, you can ask your husband to tell you stories or write stories."
"Hehe, listening to my husband make up martial arts stories in my free time is of course a kind of enjoyment." Peng Jingjing was very happy.
Su Chen saw that the three girls were in high spirits, not feeling sad about leaving home or feeling sad about being in trouble. He breathed a sigh of relief, and he didn't feel so guilty anymore.
