Chapter 882: Where is Hongling
"You are Li Yan?"
This is a large prison cell, and the surrounding stone walls reflect Qian Jing's questioning, making the voice surprisingly loud, and even Qian Jing himself was startled by his own voice, so that he had to lower his tone when he spoke again.
"Don't speak, we also know your ins and outs, as long as you are willing to obediently cooperate with the Shenwu Army, you may not be able to survive!"
Since the beginning of Pangu, the most difficult thing in this life can never escape the word "death", if Li Si doesn't want to die, he must obediently cooperate with him.
However, Li Si was like petrified, and he didn't react to Qian Jing's temptation.
Qian Jing secretly took a breath, he had long expected that this was not an ordinary person at this moment, if he could easily give in, otherwise how could he be his turn to come out?
But at the same time, he also had a hunch that this person should be an extremely difficult bone to gnaw, and he might have to suffer some hardships on him.
The silence in the cell was eerily quiet, and the flames of two large wax sticks of butter crackled and jumped, exuding the smell of rancid animal fat. Qian Jing shrugged his nose slightly, he usually used oil lamps to dispose of official documents at night, although it was dim, it was better to use it for a long time in the stability of light and shadow, and there was no peculiar smell.
Qian Jing circled around Li Yan's couch and found that the arrow wounds on his naked body were three on his torso, and the other two, one on his right thigh and one on his left shoulder. The wound had been bandaged repeatedly with strips of clean linen, but dark red blood still appeared.
"Ahh
Li Yan wailed in pain, it turned out that Qian Jing pressed the affected part of his left shoulder, although he didn't look at the range of movements, but he used ten percent of the force in his hand. Li Si was obviously trying to endure the pain so that he would not scream too embarrassed, but Qian Jing refused to let him go easily, and the force in his hand was constantly exerted on his left shoulder, this pain was enough to make life worse than death.
Finally, Li Yan couldn't stand the pain, screamed bitterly, and passed out with his head tilted.
The screams inside the cell alarmed the prison officials outside.
"Envoy Qian, envoy Qian, are you okay?"
Qian Jing replied in a deep voice:
"Don't worry, everything is fine, this thief can't bear the pain and faints!"
When the military officials outside learned that Qian Jing was safe, they were relieved and did not interfere with his torture.
Qian Jing picked up the kettle on the side and slowly poured it on Li Yan's face, stimulated by the cold water, he woke up slowly after hearing him scream in pain, and finally spoke:
"You don't have to bother with the dying man, it's useless, even if you kill me inch by inch, you won't get anything you want!"
Obviously, he already had the will to die, and the reason why he didn't commit suicide seemed to be that he didn't want to go to Huangquan in a hurry.
"As long as there are mortals in this world, there must be weaknesses, some people are afraid of people, some people love talents, and some people are ......"
Although he spoke unhurriedly, and even with a faint sense of pride, Qian Jing's heart was quite depressed, it seemed that he had encountered a hard bone that he had never seen before, people are not afraid of death, so why should they be afraid of death? At the same time, he also understood that, as he said, as long as he was a human being, he must have weaknesses.
"There are still those who care about their loved ones in ............"
Almost instantly, Qian Jing felt as excited as if he had discovered a treasure, because he had found something different in Li Yan's originally dead eyes. It was fear, yes, it was fear that flashed in Li Yan's eyes.
"Dearest people, it turns out that cold-blooded assassins also have dearest people, ha...... Haha......"
"You are talking nonsense, I, Li Si, came alone, and I will also go alone, where are there any dearest relatives, dearest people!"
Li Yan's fear actually turned into anger and blurted out, and Qian Jing was even more sure of his judgment, the assassin in front of him must have some unknown secret.
As soon as he thought of this, Qian Jing no longer paid attention to the cold-blooded assassin on the couch, and turned to leave the cell, and Li Yan roared one after another behind him:
"I have no loved ones, no loved ones, come back...... Come back...... I don't have any masters, so why do you have to work so hard......"
The rebuttal of this place, which was not three hundred taels of silver, fell on Qian Jing's ears, which further strengthened his previous thoughts. This thief must have someone who cares very much about him still in Luoyang City, since he has the will to die, and would rather suffer the living sin than commit suicide, maybe it is because of that mysterious dearest person.
After leaving the cell, Qian Jing immediately interrogated Hu Xiqian, who had a close relationship with Li Yan and must have known some secrets that he had ignored before.
When Hu Xiqian listened to Qian Jing's inquiry, he immediately patted his thigh with regret.
"It turns out, so it turns out, Li Si's thief does have a concubine, yes, it was given by Hu, named Hongling!"
Sure enough, there was such a person, Qian Jing couldn't help but be overjoyed, and immediately asked:
"Tell me, where is this woman named Hongling now?"
"She, she was originally in Hu's mansion, since she gave it to Li Si, Li Si has also kept it warm for a few days, but, but the day before the assassination, he, he secretly led Hongling out, as for where it was received and where it was hidden, Hu didn't know!"
Qian Jing expected that Hu Xiqian would not dare to lie, so he looked at him carefully for a while, and after making sure that it was correct, he left in a hurry. This is a major discovery, and it must be reported to Dr. Qin as soon as possible. However, halfway through, he hesitated again, and his steps slowed down.
Although this news is a major breakthrough, it is just his wishful thinking, if it can't be translated into actual results and reveal the secret that Li Yan adheres to, it will still be equal to zero. What is the use of reporting such progress to Dr. Qin? Is it just to prove that he is a little better than others?
No, this is not the result that Qian Jing wants, what he wants is a blockbuster, since Doctor Qin has entrusted him with a heavy responsibility, then he must repay it with a perfect and excellent solution.
At this point, Qian Jing completely stopped, and in this electric light and fire, his mind seemed to have a flash of inspiration. Then he took another step, and went to find Wuhu Huaizhong at a flying speed.
Wu Hu Huaizhong was not only the captain of Qin Jin's guards, but also fully responsible for the defense of the various gates in Luoyang after the assassination.
"General Ugo, can someone apply to leave the city today or tomorrow?"
Since the defeat and recovery of Luoyang, the Shenwu Army has been blocking the gates of Luoyang, and the so-called blockade of the gates of Luoyang is not completely prohibiting everyone's access, some of the necessary access will also be allowed, but it must be applied for two days in advance, and it will be allowed to go out of the city after being approved.
Previously, the task of blocking the four gates was mainly carried out by the people of Henan Mansion to review the access, and after Cui Ji was arrested, he is now also under Wuhu Huaizhong.
Wu Hu Huaizhong knew that Qian Jing had been ordered by Qin Jin to investigate the real mastermind behind the assassination of the angel, and he tried his best to cooperate with his request.
Soon, a list of hundreds of people was placed in front of Qian Jing. Although there are not many hundreds, what can be judged from the names and places of origin alone?
"Qian has the courage to ask General Wuhu to give an order to temporarily stop the entry and exit of people on this list!"
Wu Hu Huaizhong looked at Qian Jing and did not raise any objections, but just asked rhetorically in blunt Chinese:
"I should try my best to cooperate, but I still have a question, don't say it's not happy!"
"Please speak up, General Ugo!"
"Is there any necessary connection between Li Yan's concubine and this list of hundreds of people?"
"This ......"
Qian Jing was stunned, he really couldn't come up with a defensible reason, because it was all his intuition, but he was confident that his intuition would not be wrong.
"It's not a secret, these are all Qian's intuition!"
Seeing that the other party made a confession very directly, Wu Hu Huaizhong's face showed an imperceptible smile.
"Just instinctively completely close the doors, those miscellaneous servants are enough, but there are also military envoys sent to various places, if this is the case, can you afford to pay the responsibility?"
These words seemed to be an understatement, but Qian Jing gasped, because he had clearly tasted a trace of murderous aura from them. In other words, Wu Hu Huaizhong can cooperate with him to order the complete closure of the four gates, but he will never assume any responsibility, if there is any problem, or if he delays the military situation, he must be guilty alone!
In fact, no matter which way you look at it, Wu Hu Huaizhong has no obligation to take responsibility for him, if he delays the military plane, it will be a capital crime!
When he got to the joint, Qian Jing hesitated, was it worth gambling on his intuition? The worst result was that if his intuition failed and the military situation was delayed, he would definitely die. If it is just a matter of intuition and no delay in the military situation, it will naturally not have to bear any responsibility. There is one last possibility, the intuition has not failed, and the military situation has been delayed, but at least it can be used to blackmail Li Yan's thief, as long as the real murderer who plotted to assassinate the angel is revealed, it may not be impossible to offset the merits!
Under the trade-off, there is only a 30% chance of death, on the contrary, there is a 70% chance of success.
Thinking of this, Qian Jing no longer hesitated, but said resolutely:
"Please rest assured that General Wuhu should bear all the responsibility and will never shirk. If the general is not at ease, he is willing to set up a written note to prove it!"
Wuhu Huaizhong laughed:
"Qian Jun is so bold and responsible, how can Wu do that woman's scheming?
After that, Wuhu Huaizhong immediately ordered the gates of Luoyang City to be completely closed, and no one was allowed to enter or leave until a new military order was obtained.
With this order, the light riders went out in all directions and went to each gate. Qian Jing was not idle, he borrowed a hundred soldiers from Wuhu Huaizhong, took the list of hundreds of people, and rushed to find people according to the map.
However, more than 200 people lined up in a row, and until the dead of night, they still did not find the Hongling in Hu Xiqian's mouth, so that he once wondered if Hu Xiqian had told a lie.
