Within a few hours, Emperor Hongzhi received the news of Xie Zhi's assassination.

Anything Xie Zhi did was at the behest of Emperor Hongzhi, and assassinating Xie Zhi at this time was all aimed at Emperor Hongzhi.

No matter how good Emperor Hongzhi's temper is, now he has been slapped in the face again, and in addition to being angry, he is searching for the assassin in the whole city.

With the supervision of Emperor Hongzhi, Wucheng did not dare to slack off.

Xie Zhi was first entrusted to Zhou Xian at the beginning, so Zhou Xian became the person with full authority to operate this matter.

Zhou Xian was able to do fifty percent of the command of the Soldiers and Horses, not entirely because of his identity, but also because he still had the ability.

After receiving Xie Zhi's entrustment, he sent his men to start a strict search in the western city under his jurisdiction.

And he himself personally interrogated the man in black who was injured by Xie Zhi in the cell.

As long as the man in black speaks, it doesn't matter if the other companions find it or not.

Besides, as long as this man in black can confess who is behind the scenes, the few people who escaped will be easily found.

"Tell me, who sent you?"

Zhou Xian has an elegant personality, although he is wearing armor, it is difficult to hide the elegance on his body, and there is no deterrent to the man in black.

After asking a few words without speaking, Zhou Xian could only order his subordinates to start the execution.

The Terracotta Division is mainly responsible for the security of the Beijing Division, and what it deals with on weekdays is nothing more than thieves, walking water, shortages of catties and shortages, and there is not even a Jiangyang thief who kills people without blinking.

Deal with those lazy people who steal chickens and dogs, and go down with a whip, and say everything.

This man in black has some fists and kicks in his hands, and since he can be sent to be assassinated, he is by no means an ordinary person, and such a person can confess with a whip.

Zhou Xian used all the interrogation methods he knew, but it still didn't have much effect.

Tossed for most of the night, the man in black just bit and didn't let go.

Zhou Xian also knew very well that the longer the delay, the more difficult it would be for the other three black-clothed people who fled to find them.

Just when Zhou Xian was at a loss, one of his subordinates spoke: "What's the matter, Jinyiwei has always had a set of interrogations, it's better to ask them for a favor." ”

Mu Bin is probably the most lenient commander since the establishment of Jinyiwei to the present, and even the most lenient commander in the future, and he is also the best one in Jinyiwei.

It doesn't mean that Jinyiwei's unique interrogation method is gone.

At this time, he had to make a decision immediately, and after thinking for a moment, Zhou Xian said: "That's all there is to it, go and visit Commander Mu and ask him for a favor." ”

For Mu Bin, Zhou Xian is also quite relieved.

Mu Bin's loyalty is unquestionable, and there is no possibility of leaking the news when he is interrogated by Jin Yiwei.

After deciding, Zhou Xian visited Mu Bin overnight.

After Xie Zhi was assassinated, although Emperor Hongzhi handed over this matter to the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, Jinyiwei could not be idle, and the reactions of all the characters must be in their hearts.

When Zhou Xian found Mu Bin in Beizhen Fusi, Mu Bin did not take Qiao and met Zhou Xian directly.

As soon as Zhou Xian saw Mu Bin, he didn't have a polite greeting and said directly: "Commander Mou, I found and arrested a person who assassinated the Hou in the clouds, thinking that I could know the person behind the scenes from his mouth, but I didn't understand the method of interrogation, and after a few hours, all the methods that could be used were used, but the thief still didn't speak. ”

Zhou Xian was able to find Mu Bin at this time, which is not only a kind of trust, but also a kind of fairness.

At this time, even if Jin Yiwei only participated in an interrogation, he would have a share of credit.

Zhou Xian asked Jinyiwei to participate, but he had to give a share of the credit to Jinyiwei.

I don't know what Mu Bin thought in his heart, anyway, he agreed very happily to Zhou Xian's matter, and replied: "This is no problem, this commander will send someone over." ”

I can only find someone to help Zhou Xian, and I can't let Zhou Xian send someone here, right?

When people arrive in Beizhen Fusi, then this matter has nothing to do with Zhou Xian at all.

After Mu Bin agreed, he was not ambiguous, and directly ordered the people below to find a middle-aged man named Xiong Yong.

"Zhou Yishi, he has been in charge of the prison in Jinyiwei, and he is very good at interrogation, so let him go with you."

Since Zhou Xian came to Mu Bin to help, if Mu Bin wanted to get someone here for interrogation, Zhou Xian would have already responded.

But he didn't expect that Mu Bin didn't say a word, and directly sent him an interrogator.

"Xiong Yong, you can go with Zhou Baishi, and you will obey Zhou Yanshi's orders in the next few days."

Xiong Yong's face did not show joy or anger, and he replied, "Yes." ”

The people have been dispatched, and Zhou Xian did not delay any longer, and then took Xiong Yong back to the Soldiers and Horses.

As soon as he arrived at the Terracotta Division, Xiong Yong immediately got started.

Naturally, in the torture room, not a single soldier of the Terracotta Division was allowed to be present.

Jin Yiwei's interrogation methods are unique, and he can't be humane to outsiders.

On the one hand, it is because the interrogation method is indeed a bit unsightly, and on the other hand, it is also to maintain the unique mystery of Jinyiwei, which makes people fearful.

Since Xiong Yong didn't want to leave outsiders in the torture room, Zhou Xian was also generous and led his own people to leave.

After about a stick of incense, Xiong Yong opened the door and walked out, still not happy or angry, and said with a straight face: "The prisoner is willing to confess, and the servant can go in, and retire humbly." ”

Hearing that the man in black was willing to confess, Zhou Xian was not only surprised but eager, and he didn't have time to say hello to Xiong Yongduo, so after answering, he hurried into the torture room.

The traces of the interrogation were not visible, the only thing that was visible was that the man in black was weak, and his eyes were a little distracted.

Zhou Xian glanced around the room, and after instructing the scribe to record it, he began to ask.

"What's your name? Where are you from? What is your role? ”

"Song Gui, a native of Chang'an, is now a hundred households in the right outpost camp of the Shenji Battalion."

The man in black's answer was really shocking, and the assassin of Xie Zhi would have something to do with the Shenji Battalion.

Zhou Xian was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Why did you assassinate Yunzhonghou, who instructed him?" ”

On top of this question, Song Gui's answer was obviously not so smooth, and he said after a while: "This villain doesn't know, and the general Hu Anfu only called the villain four hundred households, and asked the villain to assassinate Yunzhonghou, promising that after the matter is completed, the villain will be promoted to four thousand households." ”

It was not easy for Song Gui to answer like this, and the person who sent him out would not tell him the reason.

Knowing the question that should be known, Zhou Xian asked again: "The names of the other three people who are in the middle of the clouds." ”

The Shenji Battalion was stationed outside the city, responsible for guarding the safety of the Jingshi, no wonder the man in black disappeared and couldn't be found.

Those who are familiar with the road are familiar with the road, and even if the city gate is closed, they can find a corner to get out of the city.

The few names that Song Gui spit out of his mouth quickly put them on paper.

After the name was written on the paper, Song Gui didn't say much, just folded it and put it in his pocket, and said: "I will go to see Yunzhonghou immediately, and the prisoner must be watchful, and wait for His Majesty to send it." ”

At this moment, Xie Zhi did not disturb his sleep because of the earth-shaking storm outside, and when he slept very soundly, he was startled by a voice outside the door.

"Fifth Young Master, Fifth Young Master... The Zhou Affair of the Terracotta Division is here. ”

At this time, Zhou Xian came over, presumably because he had an eyebrow about what he explained, Xie Zhi turned over from the bed and sat up, lit the lamp, and then pulled the door.

"Zhou Yishi, come, come in and sit." Xie Zhi yawned and invited, and then said with a smile: "I have tidied up a wasteland in Jundu Mountain during the day, and now I am even more tired when I have injuries on my body, so don't be surprised by Zhou Zhi's affairs." ”

Xie Zhi felt that he still needed to explain, otherwise, he would always look a little embarrassed, Zhou Xian was running around outside, tracking down the queen mother for him, and he was sleeping.

Zhou Xian waved his hand, smiled gently, and replied: "Yun Zhonghou has done a lot of things, and he is quite busy, but now that he is injured, he is more likely to be tired, and the assassin has already raised eyebrows. ”

Xie Zhi was not in a hurry, and asked with a smile, "Oh? Who is it? ”

Xie Zhi knew that he would have no fewer enemies, but he also wanted to know who this person who put his hatred for him into practice.

Zhou Xian took out Song Gui's confession on his body and said, "The head of the Shenji Battalion is called Hu Anfu." ”

Xie Zhi was a little flustered, but he didn't expect that the person who assassinated him would really be a member of the Shenji Battalion.

Using unique firearms to carry out assassinations, for fear that others will not know their identity?

Xie Zhi is just one person, and any method of the four of them can kill him, right?
