Chapter 68: The Stronghold
Ling Yichen found that his originally flustered and angry feelings had disappeared invisibly when that soft and cool hand held him.
He laughed to himself, when had he become so unproductive?
His eyes turned to the elegant and gentle woman beside him, and he sighed in his heart.
This woman is definitely his nemesis! However, he still confessed......
Ling Yichen didn't say a word, just grabbed the little hand.
Feeling that the anger of the people around him gradually decreased, the corners of Qing Li's mouth unconsciously hooked a trace of arc, and his subordinates did not let go.
The two of them walked into the hall, and by this time all the rebels had been counted.
A black-clothed secret guard with blood all over his body clenched his fists and said: "Master, there are a total of fifty-eight people, thirty-one people were killed on the spot, twenty-two people committed suicide by poisoning, and the remaining five people were all captured!" β
The cold and silent tone is not shocked, he is rigorous and upright, his breath is free, and he acts decisively and decisively.
Qing Li secretly praised, this person, is very suitable for hiding in the dark.
Ziya, who had been following behind him, saw this secret guard, and his silent eyes soon revealed a strange feeling, appreciation, vigilance, and provocation......
Qing Li is funny, Ziya and Wang Bo are also secret guards, and they have long learned how to control their feelings, but now he is so excited, and the aggressive factors in his body have been provoked, which shows how simple the person in front of him is......
Ling Yichen thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Good job." β
He looked around, and the empty hall was no longer as lively as it had been. Talented scholars, officials and businessmen have been evacuated, but fortunately the arrangements are in place. There were no major casualties.
Sighing lightly, Ling Yichen ordered: "Mu Cang, go back and interrogate them well, and see if you can make them confess something!" β
In fact, he also knew that it was almost unlikely. These people are all dead soldiers, and when they see that the situation is wrong, they immediately take poison and commit suicide, and if they don't remove their jaws in advance, I'm afraid they won't be able to survive.
And such a person who even cares about life and death. How can you not withstand the torture?
It's hard to get a word out of their mouths!
But no matter what, you have to give it a try, don't you?
Mu Cang got the order. After making a salute, he led the meteor back to interrogate in stride, but when he crossed Ziya and looked at each other, they could see that they were hot in their eyes.
Qing Li glanced around. The phoenix's eyes flashed slightly.
The whole building is full of flowers. All the warblers and swallows were almost all wiped out, and all that remained were children and girls who were powerless.
This is beyond reproach.
However, the dragons are gone, what about Mother Feng!
Huamanlou was almost supported by Feng's mother alone. It is impossible to hide such a scourge under the noses of such a shrewd man! And at this time, neither she was captured nor she was seen......
So, the only explanation is. Mother Feng is the executor of this matter!
As for the planners......
Qing Li looked into Ling Yichen's eyes and said solemnly: "This is Xichuan's stronghold. She was clear and clear every word. There was a faint chill in his bright eyes.
Ling Yichen was stunned, or could be said to look at Qing Li in shock.
He obviously didn't say anything, how could Li Er know everything?
A few days ago, he found out the problem of Hua Manlou, and after verifying it for a while, he arranged this raid, and the action can be said to be extremely secretive, and no one knows it, where did she hear it?
Seeing his doubts, Qing Li was not in a hurry to explain, but asked, "Why do you think of tonight's play?" She wanted to see what kind of field that man had disguised himself in, and whether even he had deceived him.
Ling Yichen was slightly stunned, his eagle eyes flashed, and he wrinkled his eyebrows and said: "He wants to wipe out all the big and small officials in ink and shake the foundation of the country." β
He had just seen clearly from upstairs that almost all the high-ranking ministers had come to Hua Manlou, if they hadn't made arrangements tonight, it would be very likely that by the time of the morning tomorrow, the Jinluan Hall would be empty!
Although these officials, big and small, although there are clean officials and corrupt officials, no matter what, in their positions, they seek their own affairs, even if they are for the emperor, they have to do a good job of faΓ§ade, and they will more or less contribute to the society.
And if this group of people is destroyed overnight, the ink will fall into a panic, the officials will not be able to deal with it, and the inner room of the court will be in chaos, which will be a big disaster!
However, he is no less strange.
Famous in Kyoto for several years, the stronghold has been low-key, even undiscovered.
However, today, or recently, it was actually publicized because of a sunny tide, and even deliberately showed the horse's feet! Take tonight as an example, how can ordinary people talk about the topic of governing the country and security?
Are they so unscrupulous, are they waiting for others to arrest them?
Who would be so stupid as to not only expose the hiding place, but also take their lives!
He always felt that things were not so simple. However, if he really wanted to find out what was missing, he was so confused that he couldn't do it for a while.
Seeing Ling Yichen's frowning, Qing Li knew that he had also discovered something suspicious.
"You're right and you're not right." Qing Li opened his mouth lightly, walked into the side compartment, poured himself a glass of wine, and put the tip of his nose to sniff lightly, "This taste, it's very soft......" Like the tea just drunk, it was put into something unclean!
She smelled the smell of wine and tea mixed with the smell of blood in the air, and her eyes swept over the devastation in the hall, cold as a star.
"Li'er, what's wrong with this wine?" Ling Yichen realized the key and put the wine in his glass on the tip of his nose.
The green and rich wine aroma is on the face, and it is broken bamboo. But compared to the usual drink, he also felt that the spicy taste seemed to be much warmer.
At first, he just thought that the merchant was profitable, so he mixed water with the wine, and he didn't care much, but now that he thinks about it, this flower building is already so luxurious, where will he deduct the wine? It's clearly a blind spot!
"Intoxication, its name." Qing Li raised his hand, his light gaze swept around, and finally he didn't know where to stay, and spat out in a faint voice, "This is the royal secret of Xichuan. Medicine, which has the effect of intoxicating people's hearts. It's colorless and odorless, but when mixed with other things, it weakens the smell of the other person."
After a pause, she frowned again and said: "If you take it intoxicated, it may be okay at first, but it can slowly and imperceptibly, and after three months, it will be automatically controlled by the other party!" β
That's what makes Addiction unique!
It grows on the Langya Snow Mountain in Xichuan, which is extremely rare, and because it is not shallow and too vicious, it has been removed in large numbers, and she thought that this thing had disappeared, but she never thought that one day it would appear here!
Nishikawa Imperial Secret. Medicine, if you want to use it, you have to get the emperor's consent, so who planned this matter has been revealed, except for the young emperor Gu Shaojue, there is no one else!
It's just that he made too ruthless moves!
deliberately exposed this stronghold, and deliberately attracted the Manchu civil and military to come over.
On the surface, an assassination was arranged to make the people of the Criminal Department mistakenly believe that their goal was to solve the pillars of this group of countries by force, so as to lower their vigilance. In fact, it is necessary to use intoxication to manipulate the foundation of ink painting!
For this action, he even did not hesitate to sacrifice this stronghold that had been hidden in ink painting for many years, and did not hesitate to give away the carefully cultivated chess pieces!
This deal, on the surface, seems to be Xichuan suffered a huge loss, but three months later, if he is intoxicated, then the court of this ink painting still has his surname Xichuan?
With such an exquisite design and interlocking, Gu Shaojue is really a genius!
Ling Yichen's face was dark, his eyes were full of shock, this matter was related to the national fortune of ink painting, once he succeeded, the consequences would be unimaginable!
If it weren't for Li Er Minghui who found out the crux of the problem, I'm afraid that ink painting would have come to an end!
"Intoxicated, can it be solved?" Ling Yichen asked in a low voice. I don't know if it was because of surprise or anger, his voice at this time was thick and hoarse.
Qing Li gave him a comforting smile and patted him on the shoulder, "All things in the world are mutually restrictive, and since there is a zΓ i, there must be something to restrain it, you can rest assured, it's okay." β
It's not that hard to get rid of the intoxication.
Ling Yichen breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly remembered the pile of letterheads written by officials and literati, which were full of ways to govern the country, where did he go now?
The sharp eagle's eyes burst out with two cold lights.
Good! Very good! Gu Shaojue did a really good job!
Not only did he want to completely tamper with the ink court, but he even wanted to plagiarize the ideas and views of the Manchu Dynasty on national governance. Stealing the past! That disappeared Mother Feng must have gone to hand over this thing!
Damn it!
Ling Yichen clenched his fists. On the battlefield, although it is also deceitful, but such an insidious trick is disdainful! It's just that this group of people is playing such a trick with him!
If he finds out one day, he will definitely tear off all the old bottoms of Xichuan!
The scene has been almost renovated, half of the original luxurious building has been destroyed, and most of the fist-sized night pearls on the wall have been shattered, and the geometry of the damage is no longer incalculable.
Qing Li frowned, pinched his chin and pondered.
Huamanlou has always been the property of the Jing family, and Feng's mother is a figure that has only appeared in the past five years, that is to say, this stronghold has been slowly built in five years.
Jing's family is big, and eighty percent of Kyoto's restaurants, restaurants, gambling houses, and green buildings are all owned by the Jing family, but Xichuan specially chose the most famous "first floor in the world", just for today's move?
Still in doubt, Qing Li suddenly heard Ling Yichen instruct on the side: "Go to Jingfu and take Jing Xuan to the Criminal Department, he needs to be investigated." β
In a word, it was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and Qing Li was instantly shocked.
"What are you going to do?" She tugged at Ling Yichen's sleeve.
He's going to arrest Jing Xuan? Obviously, this matter has nothing to do with him, so pampered people, even if they have been tempered before, how can they withstand prison?
Treating Jing Xuan as his own brother since he was a child, how could Qing Li bear him suffering?
"Ling Yichen, you can't arrest him!" (To be continued......)
