Chapter 334: May you pick more, cook the best food!
I deliberately made it difficult for him, on the one hand, to sabotage the alliance of the three major families, and on the other hand, there was also an element to help Xie Junyan get angry.
Mao Dafeng has a special identity, once he is brought to justice and investigated layer by layer, Xie Donglai will not be able to get out of it. If in the past, he was just the concubine of the Xie family, powerless, and wandering, but now he is a big man in Jinling City, and he is definitely reluctant to give up the power and status he has now.
After half a month, the three major families have had contacts with Lord Qincha, and they have been fighting happily, which is indeed a bit unexpected.
In the first round, the three major families took advantage of Feng Linggan's death and joined forces to make a raw silk overlord plate, giving the upcoming Li Muge a dismount. This round, whether intentional or unintentional, really made Li Muge very passive.
In the second round, Li Muge did not sit still, and directly refused to enter Jinling City, and put the Jinling Government and Jiangnan Weaving Bureau on the shelf. With the assistance of Zhang Youqian, he contacted the weakest small and medium-sized merchants in the tripartite game, whose interests were most seriously damaged, and tried to buy raw silk from other places to alleviate the problem of insufficient supply.
In the third round, the three major families saw the move, and directly attacked, destroying the raw silk transferred to Jinling from other provinces in an "abnormal" way, and took advantage of Li Muge's private visit to send someone to assassinate Li Muge. At this time, there were already differences of opinion among them, and everything before was within the scope of the "rules", but robbery, arson, and assassination had already broken the rules.
In the fourth round, since the opponent broke the rules, Li Muge was not ambiguous. The Jianghu Division took direct action to rectify the chaos in the market in Jinling City, and seized some illegal industries under the three major families.
The two sides come and go, and they fight happily. Now the weaving bureau is about to run out of raw silk, if the high price problem cannot be solved within three days, it will inevitably affect the annual production progress. Li Muge was very angry and decided to file a case against Mao Dafeng for investigation, starting with Xie Donglai, the weakest of the three families.
That night, we were discussing countermeasures, and Li Zhong suddenly came to report, saying that during the night release, Mao Dafeng was furious and moved on the red beans. As a result, he stopped moving his hands or feet.
I said in my heart that it was bad that I finally caught a suitable person who could blackmail the other party, but I ended up dying in prison. Was it a coincidence? or was it an accident?
Li Muge's face was gloomy, the plan that had been set, because of Mao Dafeng's death, all overturned and started over, he muttered, how can this be good?
I thought for a moment and said, Mao Dafeng's line is broken, then grab the red bean that assassinated you, and I will interrogate you overnight tonight and ask something from her mouth.
When I came to the prison, I saw Hongdou curled up in the corner, looking weak, but his eyes revealed a kind of misanthropy and indifference that only old women have.
Although I have blocked its internal force with a unique method, the few people who guard it are very afraid of this "little girl". Mao Dafeng, such a fierce man, only touched her little hand, and then he never woke up.
I ordered her to be taken outside. In the courtyard, there is an iron pot, and several people below are boiling water, and after a while, the iron pot is steaming and gradually begins to boil.
I poured a glass of wine and handed it to her, but she refused to take it, her eyes kept looking at the surroundings, and asked vigilantly, surnamed Su, what do you want to do?
I said that the night was long and I had no intention of sleeping, so I wanted to talk to the red bean girl about wine and talk about life and ideals, I don't know if it is possible?
Hongdou sneered, the old lady's age is more than enough for your grandmother, you are a ghost boy, and you still talk to me about wine?
I wasn't angry, and said with a smile, did you see this pot, wandering around the city today, I don't know why, I always feel fate, so I bought it, I thought about it, and I didn't know what to do with it, so I decided to give it to you.
Hongdou said suspiciously, send me?
I said yes, not only did I send you, but I also made you a poem. With that, I stood up and recited a poem aloud.
Red beans are born in the south, and a few branches are sent in spring.
May you pick more and cook it best.
Saying that, I flashed, sealed the acupoints of her whole body, and ordered someone to tie her up with five flowers, saying, now that the weather is hot, cooking a bowl of red bean soup should be the most heat-relieving.
As soon as I waved my hand, three or four people had already tied a rope to the iron pot and hung the red beans up, with boiling water underneath.
Hongdou was shocked and said angrily, what are you going to do?
I sneered, for the red bean girl, killing is an art, paying attention to methods and aesthetics. I don't have that much patience, so I'll ask you one last time, who sent you night owls to assassinate Master Li?
Hongdou said, you have the ability to cook the old lady, if the old lady has one more nonsense, she is not a hero!
I sighed and said, I thought that the martial arts of the Tianshan Sect would only rejuvenate your appearance, but I didn't expect that even your head would rejuvenate.
I ordered a rat cage to be fetched, tied to the rope on which the red beans were hung, and smeared some honey on it, and the rat smelled the fragrance and began to gnaw on the rope.
Death is not terrible. Scary, waiting for death. What's even more terrifying is watching death approach step by step.
Hongdou finally collapsed, she shouted, Su is still here, you beast, demon! Don't mess around, help, don't, Yamai Sauce! Then she howled and cried, said, I move, I move, I will do everything, I will say whatever you ask!
Let me ask you, who sent you to kill Master Li?
Hongdou said, you let me down first.
I turned around and was about to leave.
Hongdou said, five days ago, someone found our night owl organization and said that he was going to assassinate a person, and after the deed was completed, he would give us a reward of 300 bitcoins.
I smiled and said, Red Bean girl, you may not know that Bitcoin has fallen by seven or eight percent in the past few days.
The red bean was so frightened that her face was pale, her eyes were red, and she shouted, "What? The old lady has put hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in it, and all my rewards over the years have been invested in it, so what should I do? Originally, I took this order, and I could return to the rivers and lakes!
I saw her eloquent, full of words, said, good, it's okay, the water will block, the soldiers will bury the earth, and you can't eat the hairy pig without the butcher?
When he learned that the reward he had earned as a lifelong killer had come to naught, Hongdou's face was full of sadness, and he suddenly yelled like crazy, his voice was poignant and sharp, filling the night.
Immediately afterward, her face grew old at a visible rate, but in a matter of moments, her face was wrinkled, her hair was gray, and she had changed into a different look.
After receiving a huge impact, the red bean actually dissipated! At this time, she was leaning on her body, like an old woman who was about to enter the earth, hanging on the iron pot.
She said in a hoarse voice, her old body is no longer alive. You let me go and let me jump off the cliff!
I said you really want to die, I don't have to do anything, wait for the rat to bite the rope and you die. Hongdou's face was desolate, and he said disheartenedly, The person who sent me, you also know, is the head of the six gates of Jinling City, Zhuge Baked Cakes!
I shouted, what? How could it be her?
Looking at the red bean again, there was no answer. After saying the last sentence, she cut off her heart and died on the iron pot.
The rat bit the rope and poof!
Hongdou died, her words before she died, so that we have to reassess the whole situation, Zhuge Yaobi, a person whose appearance is not good, his martial arts are low, and his official position is not high, can actually support the night owl to kill Lord Qincha.
Was someone instigating it? Or was he hiding his strength?
One of the three principles of the Six Doors Judgment Case, the evidence alone does not stand.
Hongdou is dead, just based on her words, it is impossible to prove that Zhuge Baked Cake was involved in this matter, and no matter from which point of view, Zhuge Baked Cake is doing this, it is an act that harms others and is not beneficial to himself, which is not in line with the logic of behavior.
Now that the situation is grim, after several battles in the "Wendou", the other party broke the rules, and Li Muge finally made up his mind to solve this problem by force.
According to the rules of the imperial court, if there is an emergency, a maximum of 500 soldiers and horses can be dispatched from the nearby government to obey its dispatch, and the military must unconditionally obey the dispatch.
So, Li Muge asked Li Zhong to take the sword of Shang Fang, went to Suzhou Mansion overnight, and ordered the Suzhou garrison to lead 500 soldiers and horses to assist Qin Cha in investigating the case.
Originally, these soldiers and horses could be transferred from the Jinling garrison Bai Youcai, but Bai Youcai had been immersed in Jinling for many years, if he really wanted to do something to the three major families, the ghost knows if they were mixed together, for the sake of safety, it was the best strategy to transfer troops from neighboring prefectures.
The Suzhou garrison received the order, did not dare to slack off, ordered troops overnight, and on the afternoon of the second day, led 500 soldiers and horses to Jinling in person, and after handling the relevant handover at the city gate, the city gate was opened.
Welcome to the city!
Escorted by 500 soldiers and horses, Li Muge finally officially entered Jinling Mansion. The prefect Song Haiquan panicked, and seized an opportunity to ask, what does Li Qincha mean by leading his troops into the city?
I thought about it for a long time, Zhuge Baked Cakes have become suspicious objects, so how much did Song Haiquan participate? So he said, Lord Song doesn't need to panic, Lord Qincha may be thinking about travel safety.
Zhuge Yaobi was dissatisfied, he was a Qincha, but he used Suzhou's soldiers and horses to do things in Jinling, if something really happened, then who is it?
I glanced at him, and said with deep meaning, Lord Zhuge didn't know, a few days ago, Li Qincha was assassinated in the Confucius Temple, and almost died at the hands of the world's number one killer, Hongdou.
Zhuge asked rhetorically, hasn't Li Qincha been outside the city all the time, how could he be assassinated in the city?
Song Haiquan waved his hand and said, don't worry about these first, Lord Qincha has settled down properly, Lord Zhuge and Min Tongzhi, you go with me to greet Lord Qincha. After that, he took everyone to the place where Li Muge was staying.
I did not go with him, but it is said that the talks were very unpleasant, and Li Qincha expressed his dissatisfaction with the public security, economy, and financial environment of Jinling City, especially with regard to the price of raw silk, and the Jinling government did not supervise it effectively, and there was a certain amount of dereliction of duty and dereliction of duty.
The official university crushed people to death, not to mention that Li Muge went out on patrol on behalf of the Son of Heaven?
Don't look at Li Muge's seemingly weak text, but his style of action is unambiguous, after a few days of grievances outside Jinling City, as soon as he entered the city, he attacked strongly, and trained Jinling Mansion to a bloody head.
That night, the patriarchs of the three major families received an invitation from Li Muge.
On the first day of the seventh month, Li Muge, the minister of the Imperial Palace, set up a banquet in Yanziji, and invited Xuanyuan Sword Wang Chong, Zhao Qiansun, a southern thief, and Xie Dong, a Xie family, to the banquet.
