XXXVI. Confession
In the house, only Zhu Wu and Xi Yingzhen were left.
The atmosphere was a little biting cold, Zhu Wu's eyes narrowed, and a sneer hung on the corner of his mouth.
Those who knew him well knew that he had murderous intentions and wanted to kill.
Zhu Wu has killed many people, but rarely killed his own people.
Even when he first entered Jinling, his brothers committed the most intolerable military law.
At the moment of execution, he still changed his mind, and even did not hesitate to use his own flesh and blood to make amends for the sins of his brothers.
It's okay to say that you lose your money to buy horse bones, or to put on a show.
Zhu Wu was unwilling to kill his brother who was born and died with him.
But this time, the killing intent in Zhu Wu's eyes has been undoubtedly revealed, no matter who it is, even if it involves the most loyal old brother, there will be no mercy.
Zhu Wu is actually a selfish person, and if he doesn't violate his fundamental interests, he can turn a blind eye. But a heavy weapon like palm thunder really violated his taboo.
Even if this thing is bigger than imagined, then it is simply a mistake to kill and not let go. And the one who commits the crime shall report it to the whole army, and make an example of him by killing one of them.
Zhu Wu looked like this, and his own soldiers were hiding outside the door, not daring to go in.
Xi Yingzhen sat next to Zhu Wu, took a sip of hot tea, and said slowly.
"Little Five, let's open some! Wealth moves people's hearts, this thing has been from ancient times to the present, even if it is another seven or eight hundred years, it cannot be forbidden! The only way to do this is to make up for the loss of the sheep, and pay more attention in the future! β
"Wealth touches people's hearts? You mean sold? β
"This thing can't be eaten as food, can't be drunk as wine, except for selling it for money, what do you want him to do?" Xi Yingzhen smiled.
As soon as he said this, the look on Zhu Wu's face became a little more solemn. Xi Laodao's words make sense, this thing is a dead thing, not to eat or drink, in addition to killing people, it can only be used as a cannonball. The palm thunder is not just made, and it is not surprising that the two banks of the Huai River have repeatedly performed miraculous feats, and it is not surprising that they are targeted by people with hearts.
This is the way of the world, if you can grab it, you can grab it, if you can't grab it, you steal it, and if you can't steal it, you want to buy it.
Whoever buys these things must also be murderers with knives!
Sold?
Who buys?
How to catch the line?
In an instant, Zhu Wu thought of many possibilities in his mind.
What makes him most nervous is, if it is really sold, who is the buyer? What is the purpose of buying this thing?
On both sides of the Yangtze River, the land of Huai.
In addition to the government, there are only two teams, the Dingyuan Army and the Haozhou Army, is it ~~~~?
No, it's not!
Zhu Wu shook his head, Zhu Chongba was not so stupid, and with the hypocrisy of the two of them, dozens of palm thunder, a matter of one sentence.
There was a lot of confusion in his mind, and he had no clue, so he could only wait for the results of the interrogation on Lan Yu's side.
~~~~
stood up and walked a few steps in the house, and found that Xi Laodao was still drinking tea with the old god there.
Zhu Wu smiled bitterly, "You old way, why are you so idle today?" β
"Lao Dao is looking for you for something, but your chief manager is thinking about killing people! Lao Dao didn't dare to bother, so he could only drink tea here and wait! β
Xi Yingzhen laughed and said, now the entire Dingyuan Army is becoming more and more like a separatist force. As the coach, Zhu Wu is also becoming more and more majestic. In the entire army, the only one who dares to talk to him like this now is Xi Laodao.
Zhu Wu smiled and sat down again, "If you have something, just say it!" β
"You took five hundred fakes?"
Xi Yingzhen's eyes were blazing and smiling.
"There's such a thing. What's up? You also want to find someone to inherit the incense? Zhu Wu teased.
Xi Yingzhen gave Zhu Wu a big roll of his eyes, "Lao Dao wants a son, just find a life by yourself, and it's not that there is no guy!" β
As he spoke, he leaned out, "I thought, your fake sons are idle and idle, so it's better to use them for me!" β
Zhu Wu was a little surprised, this was the first time that Xi Yingzhen had bitten someone with him, except for a craftsman.
See, Xi Yingzhen sighed slightly, "You also know, I am a good teacher, astronomy and geography, yin and yang five elements~~ I knew eight hundred years ago, and I knew ~~~"
"You're down to business!" Zhu Wu interrupted him unceremoniously, Lao Dao is now often running trains with his mouth full of and bragging.
"I want to pass on what I've learned all my life!" Xi Ying really said, "The craftsman workshop is full of knowledge, if Lao Dao suddenly dies one day, who will help you make guns and cannons?" Besides, the things of the ancestors can't be broken in the old way. Your fake children are all children, children learn things quickly, the old way picks some clever ones, and teaches them hard for ten or eight years, even if they can't reach the attainments of the old way, but after all, the seeds are planted, and sooner or later there will be a day when they will blossom and bear fruit! β
Zhu Wu couldn't help but be in awe, this old man's heart was not ordinarily broad.
Although there have been one prosperous era after another in the history of China, a large number of black technologies have been born. However, Huaxia has a drawback in the transmission of knowledge.
In addition to the fact that those in power do not pay attention to these skills, there is another reason, the broom cherishes itself!
Passing on the inside but not outside, passing on the son but not the daughter, etc.
Countless skilled craftsmen would rather take their mastery to the grave than write it down, record it, and pass it on to future generations.
Now, Xi Laodao, the top miscellaneous scholar of this era, can have such an idea, how can he not make people respect.
"Okay, you can use it as you like!" Zhu Wu also said solemnly, "Otherwise, I'll build a school." You can't teach alone, I'll invite more people to teach, how about you being a principal? β
It's easy to teach, but it's not easy to learn.
Those children are blank sheets of paper, and they can't write their names.
Xi Yingzhen can't teach even if he has three heads and six arms, so he will ask some gentlemen to lay a foundation for them first.
"Headmaster?"
Xi Yingzhen's eyes blinked a few times and waved his hand, "No need, I'm too tired!" But you said that this method is good, let them read first, and the old way can save a lot of trouble! β
~~~~~~
A squad of non-commissioned officers of the firearms battalion was placed in prison.
The prison was filled with the sounds of interrogation and questioning, and the air was filled with the foul smell of blood.
A hundred-man officer was covered in blood and dying.
Lan Yu carried a whip with a sneer on her face.
This is the main master, there have been two gang leaders confessing just now, and it is the idea of this team officer to be false and real.
"Say, where is the palm thunder? Who else are the accomplices? β
The team officer was so weak that he couldn't lift his eyelids, "Lan Qianhu, I've said it all, let me sell it~~ What I said is the truth, why bother to force each other~~~~!" β
The truth is typed, even a hundred times, if it is said the same, it can be the truth.
Only when they can't stand it anymore and just want to die, will they tell the truth.
Lan Yu snorted coldly, "Phew! Give me a draw! β
"Slow!"
Outside the door, Zhu Wu wore a cloak and came in quietly with a few personal soldiers.
In the prison, several low-ranking officers were beaten to the point that they were not human, and when they saw Zhu Wu coming in, they immediately cried.
"Fifth brother, they recruited it, but I don't know if what they said is the truth?" Lan Yu threw the whip in his hand and stepped aside and whispered.
These officers are all good men of the Dingyuan Army, and they can't say anything when their heads fall off. At this moment, his mouth was full of moans, and his eyes looking at Zhu Wu were also full of begging for mercy, and the corners of his flesh and blood blurred eyes, tears mixed with blood kept falling.
However, Zhu Wu didn't have much pity when he looked at them.
"This is their confession~~~"
Zhu Wu waved his hand, didn't look at the confession handed over by Lan Yu, and slowly said to the team officer who only had one breath left, "Say it again in front of me, honestly." Let's give you a good time! You also know what crime you have committed, the palm thunder is used by our brothers to kill people, if you leak it, you are not afraid to use it on our brothers themselves? β
"Dashuai~~~~" The team officer cried, "I'm confused~~~ I sold something!" β
"Sold to whom?"
"I'm a fellow countryman~~~," the team officer said intermittently.
It turned out that this team of officers had a fellow villager who had joined Jinling. After entering Jinling City, the two often met, eating some wine from time to time, and talking about the old friendship of their hometown. His fellow townsman is bold and generous, and even secretly took him to find a girl twice, and the two are getting better and better.
He asked the fellow where he got the money, and it turned out that the fellow was a salt dealer in private.
One day, the fellow suddenly said that he had something to ask him.
There is a group of Jianghu brothers in Taizhou, who are suffering from the oppression of the government and want to rebel, but they don't have decent guys in their hands. The Dingyuan army is famous all over the world, and I heard that there is a kind of palm thunder, which can kill people without stepping away when thrown out, and it is also easy to hide.
So, this group of people came to Jinling and secretly looked for a way to buy it.
It just so happened that this team of officials came into contact with Palm Lei, his fellow townsman and the Jianghu man in Taizhou, and he was a brother who secretly traded private salt.
So~~~~~
At first, the officers of this team did not agree, but the gang of Jianghu people directly offered a sky-high price of three hundred taels of silver!
really responded to Xi Laodao's words, and the wealth was moving! "Dashuai, I'm confused for a while~~~ My fellow villagers said that you only have a few dollars to work as a soldier, and this time is enough to spend in this life~~~"
"What's your countryman's name? Where to stay? β
Zhu Wu's expression eased a lot, and the luck in the misfortune was just that the low-level officers forgot their righteousness, not large-scale private trafficking.
"Fifth brother!" Lan Yu hesitated and said in a low voice, "After he confessed for the first time, I sent someone to arrest him, a fellow villager." But~~ But the brothers were a little heavy, and they were hacked to death on the spot~~~"
Zhu Wu's brows furrowed, and he glanced at Lan Yu coldly, and the latter suddenly felt cold in his heart, and he lowered his head and didn't dare to speak.
"What about the people who buy things?"
"The people who bought things are in the Laojun Temple in the south of the city, and they haven't left yet. There are brothers staring, and they haven't moved for the time being, fifth brother, you said, you want to see if anyone else is involved in this matter, so ~~~~"
Zhu Wu nodded, this thing is quite reliable, people can be killed at any time, but if people are killed, it will be difficult to figure things out.
"Do you know what it's called?" Zhu Wu asked again.
The team officer seemed to have only his last breath left, and struggled to reply, "I knowΒ·~~ They are led by a pair of brothers, surnamed Zhang, and the eldest is called ZhangΒ·~~~Ninety-four~~!" β
"What a bird name!" Zhu Wu snorted coldly and told Lan Yu, "Do it, arrest people!" β
After speaking, he continued with a sneer, "Dare to make up the mind of the Yuanjun, you are not small!" β
