Chapter 297: Wu Jiu

Soon, the soap Li once again sprinkled the medicine in the porcelain bottle on Zhou Qing's severed finger, and then retreated far away. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Zhou Qing was very strange that he could still be distracted and observe the noble young man in front of him at this time, instead of being tortured by the pain and fainting. I guess I subconsciously observed the youth to divert my attention and relieve the pain in my hands.

However, the time that takes place seems to him to be infinitely extended. And this torture will continue, he has ten fingers, ten toes, fingers and toes are gone, and there are lower arms, calves, upper arms, and thighs. In the eyes of the person in front of him, who were like ice and snow, without any emotional fluctuations, he clearly knew that it was not that he was thinking too much, but that these things on his body would definitely be separated from him one by one.

Because I knew, I knew what it was like, and because I knew what I was going to endure next, I shuddered.

At this moment, the fear of the known prevailed, like a strong wind blowing a hole in the wall of his heart, whistling and eroding his will.

Seeing that the person in front of him had a slender and beautiful hand, the joints bulged, which was a precursor to grasping, he screamed: "I move!"

The hand relaxed when he heard the sound, and he added in a low voice: "I move." ”

Xiao Ke returned the knife into the sheath, bowed his head at Dugu Shaotang, then turned around and walked out, walked a few steps and turned back to stretch out a hand to Sooli.

Soap Li hurriedly walked over and placed the porcelain bottle containing the hemostatic medicine in his hand.

Dugu Shaotang instructed: "Bandage him, change into clean clothes and take him out." ”

Then he went out of the prison with Zhao Yin and went to the second hall to wait.

Zhou Qing was quickly taken out, because he washed his face and changed into clean clothes, except for his pale face, he looked fine.

The wound on his hand was bandaged, his arm was shackled, and he didn't need to be shouted, so he stepped forward and knelt in the spot.

This matter is a case under the jurisdiction of Jingzhao Mansion, and everything must be done according to the rules, so the two classes of officials and the clerks are in place, Zhao Yin is sitting in the hall, and Xiao Ke and Dugu Shaotang are watching the trial on both sides.

Zhao Yin questioned the person according to the procedure, the name of the offender, and the place of origin.

"Zhou Qing" is just a name that is nonsense, his real name is Zhang Dahu, but he is really a native of Maozhou, Lingnan Province. Stubborn since childhood, bad conduct, because he learned a little kung fu from others, he was rampant and domineering in the township, killed people by mistake in the local area, and ran to Shannan West Road to fall into the grass for a crime.

"Who instructed you to assassinate Miss Duguer?" asked Zhao Yin.

Since Zhang Dahu wanted to confess, he didn't hide it, and said: "Someone offered a thousand taels of silver to ask our boss to help kill Miss Duguer." The second boss was originally afraid of provoking the nobles in Beijing, so he invited officers and soldiers to suppress the bandits, but he did not agree. But the big boss insisted, and the second boss couldn't help it, he didn't worry about others doing this, so he personally brought the villain to perform the task. Because the villain's archery skills are good, it was agreed that the second master would create chaos, and the villain took the opportunity to shoot the second lady. ”

"Who is the person who gave the money?" Zhao Yin asked again.

"I don't know. Generally, such things are taken over by a few masters, and the villains are only responsible for doing things. Zhang Dahu said, his eyes saw Xiao Ke's gaze suddenly on his body like a knife, and hurriedly added: "But the villain happened to see an acquaintance on the mountain in those days. ”

"What person?" asked Dugu Shaotang.

"It is the constant follower of Wang Fugui by the side of Wu Jiuye in the capital city. Wu Jiuye has always had business dealings with us on the mountain......"

I'm afraid they are colluding with each other to do some shady things! Zhao Yin thought distractedly.

"Wang Fugui's aunt and cousin were robbed by our mountain once, and Wang Fugui entered the mountain to intercede under the banner of Wu Jiuye, so the villain once saw him. ”

Wang Dahu added: "That day, Wang Fugui went up the mountain and deliberately pretended to be an old man, he walked high and low, and he also had eight characters inside, the villain saw him for the first time and laughed at his companions for walking like a duck, so even if he deliberately dressed up, the villain still recognized him at a glance, but he only saw Wang Fugui on the mountain, whether he paid for the second lady's life villain is unknown." ”

There is no such thing as seeing people, so why hide it for fear of being seen? Everyone sitting here thought in their hearts that this matter has nothing to do with this Wang Fugui, or Wu Jiu behind him.

"Who is Wu Jiu?" Dugu Shaotang asked Zhao Yin.

Xiao Ke's eyes were also fixed on Zhao Yin, waiting for him to answer.

Zhao Yin served as the criminal Cao of Jingzhao Mansion, and he was very clear about the black and white forces in Beijing.

"Wu Jiu's ancestral home is in the capital, and he now lives in the area along the river street. On the surface, he is a businessman, but in fact, he also does some unsightly things. To put it bluntly, it's a gangster, but it's not officially formed. Zhao Yin replied.

"Why hasn't Jingzhao Mansion been rectified for such a person?"

Zhao Yin looked at Xiao Ke's sharp gaze and explained with a wry smile: "Wu Jiu is cunning and cautious, and he is rarely caught by pigtails. He is also very good at drilling camps, and has made friends with powerful people in Beijing, and there are many ...... in the north and south and even in the Tiance army Uh, friends. ”

looked at Dugu Shaotang, and said: "Don't hide it from the general, I'm afraid that there are also generals in your Xiao cavalry guard who have a lot of friendship with him." ”

Dugu Shaotang's face was dark and gloomy, and the corners of his mouth were tense but he didn't speak.

"In the early years, Wu Jiu married the daughter of the second steward of the Xiao family's mansion as his wife......"

The concubine Xiao is Princess Huayang, the sister of King Gong, who was sentenced to death after the death of the first emperor for assisting his brother King Gong Xiao Hua in his rebellion. got the title, so people are called Shuren Xiao.

After the incident of the Xiao family, this Wu Jiu immediately killed his wife with his own hands and chose himself from the great crime of rebellion. ”

"Heh, this person can see the situation very clearly and has the courage to make a decision immediately. Dugu Shaotang said sarcastically.

Later, Wu Jiu married the daughter of the chief housekeeper of Linhuaibo Mansion as his stepfamily, and he had a relationship with Linhuaibo. In the past two years, he has been interested in traveling, spending money like dirt, dredging up and down, and seeking a fictitious title of lieutenant, which is also considered an official body, and it is even more difficult to move. ”

Lin Huaibo is Dugu Weiche's wife, Lin Yahan's maternal grandfather.

Dugu Shaotang's face darkened even more when he heard this. But he was ruthless in his heart, as long as his baby daughter was involved, he didn't care if he was in-law or not.

His heart moved again, and he thought that the place where the assassin carried out the assassination was the property of Mrs. Linhuai Boshizi. So did Linhuai Bofu get involved in this matter?

Xiao Ke had already suddenly got up and said to Dugu Shaotang: "General Lao blocked the Nine Gates to arrest the second master, and Wu Jiu was handed over to this king." ”

He also instructed Zhao Yin: "List the names of all the addresses of Wu Jiu's properties, and this king will send someone to fetch them after three quarters of an hour." ”

Zhao Yin should be, it is not good for Wu Jiu to provoke anyone, and he is biased to provoke Lord Yan, now it's okay, it doesn't work for anyone to intercede, this time it is going to be uprooted.

Sending away the two great gods, Zhao Yin instructed the clerk to list Wu Jiu's estate, and find a painter to paint the portrait of the second master according to Wang Dahu's dictation.

Knocked on all the personnel involved in this matter: "This official knows that there are people in our Jingzhao Mansion who have a good relationship with Wu Jiu, but now we have to keep our eyes open and see clearly, Wu Jiu provoked Prince Ning this time, and no one can protect him." Therefore, you all be careful and see the situation clearly, whoever wants to get involved in it, but if you kill yourself, no one can help him!"
