Chapter 733: Recognizing People
(2nd update today)
"Your Majesty, the priest who came to deliver the decree before said that he asked me to enter the palace to recognize someone, saying that the Taoist who harmed me was caught. I haven't recognized anyone yet!" Jiang Chengzi said. She herself had almost forgotten about it because of her eldest grandson.
When Li Shimin heard this, he suddenly remembered that because he suddenly received a farewell letter from the eldest grandson, he was focused on the battle situation in the north for a while, and forgot about it. Jiang Chengzi mentioned it at this time, and Li Shimin immediately ordered Xiao Fangsheren to go and preach the two Taoist elders to bring them up.
After a while, Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng came up to the Ganlu Palace, behind them were several guards carrying a stretcher, and the stretcher was covered with a gray quilt, and the quilt covered the person's shoulder, so only one head was exposed. The man was in a knot, with a scar on his forehead, and his face was as thin as a shriveled orange, and his face was full of furrows. That face was the Taoist priest who was driving the Dapeng Bird in Kunlun to kill her.
"Ah Zhi, take a look, is this person?" asked Li Shimin.
Jiang Chengzi had already seen it, but he still stepped forward with the candlestick and took a look at it with care. Before she could answer, the Taoist on the stretcher became excited and shouted, "You, you, you are still alive." ”
"You want to harm me and not allow me to live?" Jiang Chengzi asked rhetorically.
"Bai Feng, you, you can control it, you, you-" The man was extremely excited, and then a mouthful of black blood spurted out.
Jiang Chengzi hurriedly dodged away, and not a drop of blood stained his skirt. In his heart, he was thinking about how to kill this old way, otherwise he would say that she could control Bai Feng or something, and it would not be good for himself, his family, or Bai Feng to be known.
Li Shimin didn't care, frowned, looked at Yuan Tiangang and asked, "Daoist Yuan, is this really your younger brother?"
Yuan Tiangang shook his head and said, "Back to Your Majesty, I also thought that it was my brother who harmed the girl, because this technique was a forbidden spell of my faction. After I caught it, I didn't care about such a thing, and I asked again and again, and I didn't say what I had to do with my brother. I'm a Taoist, and it's not good to use torture to extract confessions or anything, and I didn't ask why. Therefore, let Miss Yang Jiu take a look at whether this is the goods. ”
"Since it's not your brother, it's easy to do, let the people from the Criminal Department use the torture. Li Shimin said, looking at the person on the stretcher with a gloomy face, and said coldly, "Let these villains also see what the majesty of the Tang Dynasty is." ”
"Yes. The guard outside the door answered, and dragged the man away.
Jiang Chengzi was not at ease, so he said: "Your Majesty, it just so happens that I have nothing to do, and it is he who harmed me again, I want to interrogate and interrogate." ”
"It's fine. Li Shimin nodded.
"Then Your Majesty still has to discuss with the minister, so I'll move somewhere and ask, okay?" Jiang Chengzi hurriedly asked.
"Okay. Li Shimin waved her hand and motioned for her to step back.
Jiang Chengzi came out with the guards who were carrying stretchers, the man looked at her angrily, Jiang Chengzi glanced at him coldly, and said with a sneer: "Didn't you inquire about my apprenticeship with immortals when you hurt me?"
The man vomited a mouthful of blood because of the excitement, and he didn't have much strength at this time, so he didn't speak, closed his eyes and ignored Jiang Chengzi.
"Nine girls, do you want to go to the criminal department together?" asked the leading guard.
"If you don't go, just put him next to this flower stand, and I'll ask a few words. Oh, that's how he used flowers and trees against me that day. Jiang Chengzi pointed to the flower stand on the side, which was exactly where the demon flower smiled at her that day.
Several guards obeyed the order, so they carefully placed the Taoist in the flowers, Jiang Chengzi stood aside, and said seriously: "I advise you to recruit it." Now that you've failed and your identity has been revealed, your master has long wanted to kill you. ”
The man was unmoved, still lying on the stretcher with his eyes closed. Jiang Chengzi looked at him with a look of "I won't speak, what can you do", smiled unconsciously, and said, "You also know that you used a forbidden spell, and when you assassinated me, you were hit hard. If no one saves you, you may not be long in coming. ”
When the man heard this, his body couldn't help but tremble, Jiang Chengzi saw it in his eyes, and chuckled: "And I am an immortal." ”
Jiang Chengzi nodded so far, and didn't say anything like "I can save you". When the Taoist heard this, he opened his eyes and glanced at Jiang Chengzi, and said disdainfully: "If it weren't for Bai Feng, you think you could win me?"
"If it weren't for Dapeng, you think you would be able to win me again?" Jiang Chengzi sneered.
The Taoist didn't speak, and Jiang Chengzi continued: "Tell your identity, confess your accomplices, and I may be able to save you." ”
"You're coaxing me?" the Taoist looked at Jiang Chengzi with disdain.
"If I can't save it, Daoist Yuan Tiangang and Daoist Li Chunfeng can always save it. They are the top Taoists of the Tang Dynasty. Jiang Chengzi said with a grin. Then she bent down and whispered to the Daoist, "Why don't you see if I can save it?"
Jiang Chengzi said, and communicated with those flowers and plants, and those flowers and plants suddenly rushed towards this person without wind. The Daoist was unstable, and he only felt as if countless flowers were about to eat him. He was so frightened that he tumbled down the flower stalk, and the plants bent over again.
"No, no, no, help me, save me. The man shouted.
"Save you, yes. Jiang Chengzi squatted aside and looked at the man.
The Taoist's eyes were full of horror, and he trembled and said, "You, you—"
"I'm awesome, you know. You'd better recruit from the truth, who you are, why did you harm me, and who are your accomplices. Jiang Chengzi asked sharply.
"I am the Turkic national teacher Dumu. You are the luck of the Tang Dynasty, and if the Turks want to destroy the Tang Dynasty, they must destroy you first. Therefore, our meticulous work broke into the Xiao family, learned of their plan, and took advantage of the chaos to take the lives of you and Li Shimin. My accomplices, in the past month or so, you have locked down the city and arrested people, and you are almost dead. The Taoist hurriedly said.
Jiang Chengzi was very surprised, she thought that it was a person from the Turkic side, but she didn't expect that this person was actually the Turkic national teacher Dumu.
"You Turks really look up to me and say that I am the luck of the Tang Dynasty. Tried to hurt me again and again. Jiang Chengzi sneered.
The Taoist turned pale and coughed for a while before he said, "I, I'm also from the Central Plains." ”
"Huh. Jiang Chengzi smiled sarcastically, no matter what position this person is, his character and behavior cannot reach the realm, and he always attaches great importance to life and death. That's all it takes to get close.
"I'm really from the Central Plains. I am from Luoyang, and my original surname is He. The Taoist explained.
"I'm not interested in knowing. General Toki doesn't have to be close. Jiang Chengzi said coldly, "I just want to know now, who did you learn your forbidden spell from?"
"I, I said, can you save me?" the man asked, looking at her.
Jiang Chengzi saw that there was a spark of thirst for survival in his eyes, and he was disdainful in his heart, but he said on his face: "You don't have any other way, why not gamble?"
"Then, I won't say it, you're not sincere. The Taoist said.
"I don't care, I'm not in a hurry. You're the one who can't wait, and I don't necessarily have to know the answer. Jiang Chengzi clapped his hands and stood up, and said to the guards next to him, "You also heard what I just asked, and when I get to the Criminal Department in a while, remember to tell the officials of the Criminal Department." Alright, carry it away. ”
When the man heard this, he immediately panicked and shouted, "You save me, I will give you important information." ”
