41: Interrogation
"Jingle Bell~"
What answered Cheng Li was not words, but the sound of Qi Jian "retaining" and falling to the ground.
Huang Yishi didn't say anything. He was just stunned for a while, and then suddenly pounced on him as if he had just woken up from a dream, and suddenly hugged Cheng Li tightly. His body was still trembling slightly. It feels like a child who has been lost for a long time and finally found his parents again.
Cheng Li can understand. So he didn't rush to push the other party away, but let the other party hold him. sighed: "You, you, look at yourself, you are all the leaders of a gang, and you are still like a child." Return Huang Yishi, I think, you might as well change your name again, call it Huang Xiaoshi. ”
“...... Well, Cheng Shao, I also think that it may be more appropriate for me to change my name to Huang Xiaoshi. ”
Finally recovered a little normal little stone, let go of Cheng Li, took two steps back embarrassedly, and said with a wry smile: "Originally, I thought that with my own strength, although I couldn't be as successful as Brother Su, I should at least be able to bear the sky and protect one party."
But now, I realize that I really haven't matured enough. It's not a big stone that can lay a foundation, it's just a small stone that can be found everywhere on the roadside. If it weren't for Cheng Shao, you would have made a timely move, alas~ My little stone, I'm afraid it would have been crushed a long time ago. ”
Cheng Li was speechless. Or rather, the facts are in front of you. Even the four "auspicious ruyi" who Huang Xiaoshi relied on as his confidants betrayed him without hesitation. It can be seen that Huang Xiaoshi really does not have the talent to be a helper, and no one can refute this. You can't talk back against your conscience.
After being silent for a long time, Cheng Li stretched out his hand again, patted Huang Xiaoshi on the shoulder, and said, "It's nothing." Talent is this kind of thing, it depends on cultivation. Just like Brother Li, Lord Zhu, and Lei Wujiao, no one was born to know how to lead a party's forces. Therefore, it is not terrible to suffer losses, the most important thing is to eat a trench and grow wise. Next time, you should know what to do. ”
Huang Xiaoshi hung his head and said: "But like me, after suffering a loss, maybe there will be no next time." ”
Cheng Li said with a smile: "But aren't you still alive now? Since you are alive, there are infinite possibilities." So ......"
After a pause, Cheng Li said in a condensed voice: "The most important thing you should do now is to first find out how those traitors betrayed you and what they have done." Then it's time to make the next decision. Rest assured, no matter what you decide, I will stand with you. ”
Huang Xiaoshi took a deep breath and made a move with both hands at the same time. The "retaining" strange sword, which was lying in the muddy rain, immediately jumped into the air and fell back into the master's grasp. He nodded vigorously and said in a condensed voice: "Cheng Shao, I understand what I should do." Thank you. ”
Cheng Li waved his hand: "If you understand, do it, thank you? ”
Huang Xiaoshi showed a grateful smile. Then he turned around and walked into the dilapidated house, waved "Stay", and slapped the sword scabbard on the top of the head of the "little mosquito" Xiang Ge'er.
With just the right amount of power, Brother Xiang'er woke up in a coma. He whispered, trying to open his eyes. Then I saw it right away......
Li Xiaoji, Zhu Ruyi, Ouyang Yiyi, Bu Renlao, and Sun Injustice. The bodies of these five people, south, south, west, and north, were arranged haphazardly, and had been washed white by the rain.
Brother Xiang shivered violently, and the last bit of confusion that was still in his consciousness immediately disappeared without a trace. He sat up honestly, looked up at Huang Xiaoshi, and then saw Cheng Li again. The body was struck by lightning, and it was a violent earthquake.
The reaction wasn't too strong, but it had leaked enough information to see through a lot of things. Cheng Li leaned forward with interest and asked, "What, do you know me?"
The distance is too great, and Brother Xiang knows that life and death are in the hands of others, and there is no point in resisting. So he smiled wryly and replied honestly, "Yes." You are the Black Evil God. When I was in Yongzhou City, I saw you from afar once. ”
Cheng Li nodded: "Very good, then between us, we can save a lot of things." Now, answer the question. What happened to the two parties?"
Brother Xiang shook his head and said, "I don't know." The one who is responsible for dealing with them is the 'Heli Frost Field Bamboo Leaf Three' Bu Ren Resentment. There is also General Ning's side of 'the bird is hidden in the bow, and the rabbit is dead and the dog is cooked'. We work on both sides at the same time. After succeeding, he went back to report to General Ning. In the hands-on process, both parties do not interfere with each other. ”
Cheng Li's jaw said: "I see." But it shouldn't be your plan to rain so hard in the sky, right?
Brother Xiang said without thinking: "That's simple. Sun Bugong is not only good at doing things, but also good at disguise. So we originally planned to make him disguise himself as an old beggar, and then find an opportunity to beg from the Huang gang leader. The Huang Gang leader has such a good heart, he will definitely stop and give alms. Then we will have a chance. ”
"Old beggar?" Huang Xiaoshi was stunned when he heard these three words. Then subconsciously look back at the base of the wall of the dilapidated house. Sure enough, I saw that the poor old beggar who was cowering in the corner before had disappeared. Look at Sun Bugong's corpse again, although I didn't pay attention to it before, but now I pay attention to it, after being washed away by the rain, the ragged clothes that were exposed were not the hundred clothes on the old beggar just now?
Huang Xiaoshi smiled bitterly and subconsciously shook his head. He has nothing to say about his habits being so easily penetrated and his psychology being seen through so simply. At the same time, he couldn't help but think of his eldest brother Zhu Youxian and his second brother Bai Qiufei. What if the two of them were in this position?
The answer is: no. Zhu Youxian has been in charge of Canghai Yueming Tower for so many years, and the people who hate him and want him to die can be described as a car, and they can't count them at all. But over the years, who has succeeded?
Although at first glance, Zhu Youxian looks like a tuberculosis ghost who is riddled with diseases and may die at any time. But those who hated him, who wanted him to die, who were a hundred times healthier than him, died one after another. It's just that Zhu Youxian is a tuberculosis ghost who just dragged on and refused to die, if he hadn't been involved in the affairs of Yongzhou, maybe until now, he would still be able to continue to be alive.
There is also Bai Qiufei. In recent years, Zhu Youxian seems to be because of his body. Therefore, almost all of them are in a semi-retired state. Most of the affairs of Canghai Yueming Mansion were handed over to Bai Qiufei, the second deputy landlord, to deal with. Therefore, most of the assassinations that were originally aimed at Zhu Youxian turned to Bai Qiufei. On the black and white road of the rivers and lakes, "If you want to kill Zhu, you must kill Bai." It is difficult to live in white", these two sentences can be said to be spread all over the city.
Go back and look at yourself. Alas~ At this moment, Huang Xiaoshi was so ashamed that he was ashamed. I don't even want to speak.
Cheng Li looked back at him twice, but he just snorted softly and didn't say anything. Then he asked Brother Xiang'er again: "Originally, it was just a battle between the rivers and lakes. How did you get involved with Bu Renlao and Bu Renwei, these two troublesome characters?"
Brother Xiang still shook his head: "I don't know." When General Ning found the four of us, he had already established a relationship with Bu Renlao and Bu Renyan. However, the two of them should only be running errands. General Ning Da really caught up with the big man, there should be someone else. As for who that person is, how can we possibly know?"
Cheng Li frowned, and groaned slightly in his heart. He knew that Bu Renlao and Bu Renren belonged to the Criminal Department. The Criminal Department is one of the six departments, and the highest official is the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, which is the third product. The second is the squire of the criminal department, who is the fourth product. There are also four people below, including the criminal department Langzhong, the Duguan Langzhong, the Bibu Langzhong, and the Simen Langzhong.
Among them, the most important position is the criminal department Langzhong. Although it is only the fifth grade, it is in charge of the decree of the world's punishment, and is in charge of the decree of punishment and prison. It can be said that the power is quite large.
But at the same time of great power, this official position is also very easy to offend people. If the balance is not good, he will lose his official position at any time, and even his life may be lost together. However, the current criminal department Langzhong Zhu Mingming has been sitting in this position for ten years, and his position is still as stable as Mount Tai, and the eight winds cannot blow.
The trick lies in the fact that this person is a delicate character. The two famous sayings of "seeing people and talking about people, and talking about ghosts" are simply brought into full play. No one is to be offended, and everyone regards him as his own. But if you carefully sort out the relationship, you will find that he is actually not a person, or he is a faction of his own.
A person like this, most of the officials in the court, would not think of being an enemy of him. Anyway, Zhu Ming is basically harmless to people. One more friend is better than one more enemy. Even if there are a very small number of people with iron heads, they all feel that it is very unpleasant to see Zhu Mingming, and they must get rid of him. But in the end, Zhu Ming was not knocked down, but those who did not like him fell first.
