Forced to marry, I picked up a young powerful official

Chapter 260 Do You Have Any Ingenious Ideas?

Shen Nankui nodded, "Yes, compared to the humiliation he suffered, the evil deeds he committed are truly unforgivable. Even if Zhao Fu's brother-in-law is wrong, the other five members of Zhao Fu's Yue family are innocent. Moreover, he did not even let his own wife go."

Her eyes gradually turned cold. "This man has a strong desire for revenge and cruel methods. He does not repent but instead indulges in depravity. People like him deserve to die. I only pity Aunt Geng."

Zhang Qiongsi sighed, "Auntie Geng is a kind-hearted person. She already blamed herself for what happened two years ago. Now she has gone through this again. I wonder if she can get through this..."

Shen Nankui also sighed, "I hope nothing happens to her."

It was almost four o'clock in the morning when the group arrived at the provincial capital.

Gu Yichuan still had to interrogate the prisoners, so he did not go back with them. He ordered Feng Ze to take people to send Shen Nankui and Zhang Qiongsi home, while he led the soldiers and escorted the prisoners straight to the provincial government.

……

Five days later.

That afternoon, Gu Yichuang returned from the government office. Although he looked normal, there was a hint of heaviness between his brows.

He has been busy with the bandit suppression mission these days, leaving home early and coming back late all the time. Shen Nankui has hardly seen him. Today, it was rare to see him come back early. She thought there had been some progress in the bandit suppression mission, but he looked so unhappy again.

Shen Nankui couldn't help but have a bad feeling in his heart and asked, "Is it going wrong?"

Gu Yichuan nodded, his tone serious, "This Feiying Village is indeed a resourceful group. No wonder the Yizhou government can't do anything about them."

Shen Nankui's heart sank, "What on earth is going on?"

Gu Yichuan said, "I told you earlier that we sent Captain Sun, who is good at catching criminals, to track down Geng Jin. He led his men to chase him in the dense forest for two days, but still lost him. Not only that, two of our officers also died in the forest."

"Was it done by Geng Jin alone?"

Gu Yichuan nodded, "This man must have learned this skill from Feiying Village. He is very good at hiding his whereabouts in the mountains and forests and setting up ambushes. Even Captain Sun fell into his trap and was seriously injured."

Shen Nankui also felt it was difficult for a moment, and asked: "Is there any progress on the captured bandits?"

Gu Yichuan nodded, then shook his head, sighed, and said, "The second in command gave out the location of the Feiying Village's lair, but when we led the troops to encircle and suppress it, it was already deserted. After returning and interrogating them, we learned that the reason why the Feiying Village has not been wiped out by the government for all these years is that it has strict preventive measures. Once someone leaves the village and fails to return on time, everyone will evacuate the old nest and move to a new base."

Shen Nankui frowned, "If this is the case, then it will be difficult to deal with..."

Gu Yichuan's face was solemn. "I have read the old cases of Feiying Village. These bandits have gone through several years and have been wiped out by the government dozens of times, but they are still standing. There is a big reason for this, that is, the leader of Feiying Village has a very high cohesion. He set a rule that no matter what the situation, he will not abandon any of his brothers. Therefore, the people of Feiying Village support him so much."

Shen Nankui understood immediately, "You mean, they will come back again?"

There are now many captives in Feiying Village, including their second in command, who are still in the hands of the government.

Gu Yichuan said: "If it's about jailbreaking or challenging the government, they may not have the ability to do so, but they will use other methods to launch crazy revenge on the government."

Shen Nankui's face changed and he cried out in shock, "Taoyuan Town!"

They could not retaliate against the government directly, but they had to find a way to do so, so they could only attack innocent people. And this time, what happened in Feiyingzhai was in Taoyuan Town.

Gu Yichuan nodded and spoke with some difficulty, "The old case records that Feiying Village had massacred the whole village..."

Shen Nankui stood up angrily, his face stained with anger, "They are simply crazy and inhumane!"

After a long silence, she asked again: "What if we deploy defenses in Taoyuan Town in advance?"

Gu Yichuan shook his head. "These people are very cunning. If they sense danger, they will immediately change their targets. Even if we can deploy defenses in Taoyuan Town in advance, there are always places in other villages and towns that we cannot take care of."

"Is there nothing we can do to them?"

Gu Yichuan rubbed his brows tiredly and did not answer.

After a long while, Shen Nankui suddenly whispered, "The government doesn't know where they are hiding, nor where they will attack. So what if we can force them to show up?"

Gu Yichuan asked: "Do you have any clever ideas?"

Shen Nankui said: "Don't forget, Geng Jin's mother is still in Taoyuan Town. Although this man is cruel and ruthless, judging from what happened last time, he still has some filial piety."

"But he must also know that the government will use this to set an ambush, so why would he fall into their trap?"

"If you don't try it, how will you know?"

Shen Nankui's eyes flashed with light, and he said quietly: "I heard that Aunt Geng was ill these few days. If Geng Jin is still secretly spying, he must have learned the news. Aunt Geng is old and weak. Once the disease breaks out, it is very likely that she cannot be cured... Aunt Geng is his biological mother. If his biological mother dies of illness, how can he, as the only son, not come back to see her?"

Gu Yichuan's eyes lit up and he nodded, "I understand. I'll arrange for someone to hold a funeral for Aunt Geng right away!"

Shen Nankui said: "Geng Jin grew up in Taoyuan Town and is very familiar with the town's affairs. In order to prevent him from coming again, it would be best to withdraw the troops in the town first, but we cannot be too lenient and let him see at a glance that this is a trap."

Gu Yichuan thought about it for a moment and thought it was feasible, but he asked again: "This method is good, but even if Geng Jin really takes the bait, we can't be sure whether it is just him or all the people from Feiying Village. If we can't take down Feiying Village in one fell swoop, I'm afraid we still can't stop their next move."

Shen Nankui smiled and said, "My target this time is only Geng Jin."

"Oh?" Gu Yichuan stared at her with burning eyes, waiting for her to continue.

Shen Nankui winked at him, a little cunningly, "Yichuan, have you forgotten that we have a friend, known as the 'Thousand Faces Man' in the martial arts world?"

"Jin Feishuang?" Gu Yichuan snorted coldly, "What kind of friend is she?"

He has not forgotten that this 'Man of a Thousand Faces' kidnapped his wife.

Shen Nankui knew that he was upset that Jin Feishuang had once plotted against him, so he said with a smile, "She and I have long since forgotten our past grudges. Besides, I helped her lobby Mr. Cai so that she could stay in Yongzhou, so she owed me a favor. Isn't it time to use it now?"

"This matter is of great importance. Will she help?"
