There was no loud drum, no neat mighty sound, and even a public hall symbolizing the majesty of the government was not arranged, so Sun Tu found a fairly spacious hall in the Imperial City Division to start the interrogation of this important case.

Qin Hui, as a newcomer to Sun Tu's subordinates, participated in the whole process this time. What made him feel a little strange was that Sun Tu's first interrogation was neither the Gu family's father and son, the key criminals involved in the case, nor those officials with low status, but the businessman who claimed to be Li Dexian, and at the same time, he also put a screen in the corner of the hall, which seemed to hide something.

When that Li Dexian was brought into the hall, Sun Tu stared at him with his eyes for a long time, and asked casually, "Who are you?" At this point, you should know very well how heavy your sins are, you don't need to say those words of grievance, and don't want to deceive the official with those false statements, if you don't want to suffer more, I advise you to answer the official's questions truthfully. ”

Although he was arrested on the spot, and after being seized and detained for another day, Li Dexian's spirit was not bad, and he could still face Sun Tu with a smile at this time: "Yuehou, you have already made your words clear, and I have already expected that I will die, do you think I will confess something?" ”

"That's not up to you, Ben Hou just checked, although you don't have any family members in Tokyo City, you have an estate in the Daimyo's mansion, and a pair of wives and children. Whether you treat them as relatives or only as a cover for your identity, that child is your flesh and blood after all. If you really don't hesitate to die, Ben Hou doesn't care about letting the two of you go down to accompany you. ”

"You ......" immediately grabbed Li Dexian's vital point, making his whole face distort a little: "You are so vicious!" They don't know who I really am, they don't know what I've done out there, they're innocent......"

"There may be innocent people in this world, but they are by no means people who are close to you, and since they have covered up for you, whether intentionally or not, they are unforgivable. If you want to keep them, your only option is to tell Benhou who you really are and how you got your hands on these forbidden things! Sun Tu said, the man stood up, slowly paced to the prisoner who had been pressed to the ground, and looked at him condescendingly.

Li Dexian was silent for a long time, and then he sighed for a long time: "That's it, since it's all in your hands, I can't make any other choices." Then let me tell you, I'm a secret spy of the Xia Kingdom, and I'm a ......."

"It seems that you really don't see the Yellow River, and at this time, you dare to deceive Ben Hou with such lies!" Sun Tu immediately interrupted him, and with a wave of his hand, he threw one of the letters in front of him: "The one used on this is clearly Khitan script, and there is also relevant content, do you dare to say that you are a Western Xia spy?" ”

Li Dexian's face changed suddenly, he really didn't expect Sun Tu to grasp such physical evidence so quickly, which made the words he had prepared completely useless. Sun Tu's voice sounded in his ears again: "I know what you are thinking, you just planned to use this rhetoric to delay time, so as to buy your accomplices some time to leave Tokyo, and as long as they can escape safely, they will definitely pick up the people of the Daimyo Mansion before me, and you will have no worries." Am I right? ”

Li Dexian's body trembled violently, and his mind was actually in the other party's grasp, this feeling of being seen through everything was really frightening and uneasy. And Sun Tu's words continued: "But what you don't know is that just yesterday after I found out your false identity, I had already sent someone to rush to the Daimyo's Mansion in the starry night, even if your people really went out of Tokyo after finding out, I'm afraid it will be too late." So now there are only two options in front of you, either cooperate with Benhou, or the whole family will accompany you for your secret burial. However, these two choices have one thing in common, that is, your plot in my Bianjing will inevitably fail, and you will not think of anything! ”

Qin Hui watched Sun Tu say so many words full of strong threats in a calm and peaceful tone, which made his heart feel cold, and a trace of cold sweat unconsciously broke out on his back.

If he had watched Sun Tu speak those imperial histories speechless before, and finally took them down to show his strong side, then what he showed at this moment was a more chilling and frightening side of the scheming. In just a few words, he has completely grasped this enemy country who seems to have a will to die and should not be afraid of any torture, for him, in fact, there is only one last choice left, because this is the best for him.

Sure enough, after another period of silence, Li Dexian finally spoke: "I...... I am a Han citizen of the Liao Kingdom, and I am the one who came to Bianjing to meet us on the order of the king of Yelu in the southern court, and sent the bows and crossbows and other things they got out of the Song realm. ”

With this opening, Sun Tu knew that his heart was broken, so he continued to ask: "I see, presumably it is by virtue of this identity of the Han people that you can smoothly travel back and forth between the two countries, and take this opportunity to establish a relationship with the Gu family firm?" ”

"Exactly."

"You have transported a lot of grain and rice to the north through the Gu family firm before, but is this the case?"

Li Dexian glanced at Sun Tu in some surprise, but still nodded. Sun Tu smiled hesitantly, this is right, the Gu family business bank has definitely not done this once or twice, but the problem of the things transported in the past is not as serious as this time: "In the past few years, how much grain has been transported to the north through your hands?" How did you get it out of the Song Realm safely? ”

This is what Di Yingyang and Wei Chengnian are also quite concerned about, because even they can't understand how they can avoid this checkpoint and send things to Liao.

"As early as a few years ago, we had bought off Zheng Zhe, a partial general of Yanmen Pass, and through him, we bought off one of the guard guards. Every half month, they are the ones who guard the gates, and we can easily transport the grain out of the gates when it gets dark. However, they only thought that we were seeking huge profits, and did not know that we were sending food and other things to the hands of the Great Liao army...... As for the specific food figure, it should be more than 100,000 stones......"

As soon as these words came out, Sun Tudu gasped, this lot of grain actually fell from the Great Song Dynasty to the hands of the Liao people, and it was also Yanmen Pass! What made him even more chilling was that a large part of this food came from the withheld salaries of the forbidden army. In other words, those people sold the grain that should have been sent to the forbidden army to the Liao, and these methods were several times more serious than that of the enemy.

Di Yingyang scolded even more in a low voice, he had always been happy, and his face was already blue at this time, and he wished that he could catch those corrupt officials and silverfish and correct them on the spot. Even Qin Hui was also dumbfounded, he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time, and the hands hanging down his side were already clenched into fists, at this time he was still a young official with a sense of justice.

After calming down his mind and suppressing the anger in his heart, Sun Tucai continued to ask: "You collected the grain through the Gu family's firm, right?" ”

"It is precisely because the Gu family firm is famous enough in Tokyo that it will be much less troublesome for them to come forward, and we have more money, so we can buy these grains in just one or two years."

"What about the other things? After all, the Gu family is only a merchant, and at most, they will help you transport things to the north, but they will not be able to help you get forbidden things such as bows and crossbows. ”

The question of "this ......" is the most critical, and Rao is Li Dexian's heart has been broken, and he can't help but show hesitation. But under Sun Tu's gaze, he couldn't hide it after all, and hesitated: "Actually, I don't know how they got these things, because every time I meet them, I have already succeeded in them." Every time, I connect with them in the Fan Family Inn in the south of the city, if it is a small thing, I can get it directly, if it is a large quantity like this time, I will go to the designated place to pick it up, and then mix it into the goods I have already prepared, and send it out of Bianjing through the Gu Family Trading House. ”

Sun Tu looked at him until he finished speaking, and then nodded: "After so many contacts, have they ever mentioned how they obtained those important items?" ”

has already said so much, Li Dexian also had a kind of mind to break the jar at this time, and immediately replied: "They did mention that they had recently targeted Li Langzhong of a Ministry of Industry, and they could obtain some Great Song Dynasty bows and crossbows and related things through him. Soon after, I received this batch of crossbows......"

"And do you know where they're hiding?" This is the most critical question.

But this time, Li Dexian could only shake his head: "In order to be safe, we don't actually have much contact with each other, let alone lead people to our own residence." Even if we go to Fan's store, we don't dare to stay for a long time, which means that we will be separated after the matter. ”

Sun Tu was not too disappointed with such an answer, and nodded: "Very good, if you can cooperate like this, it means that you have repentance, then you can rest assured, your wife and children in the Daimyo Mansion will be preserved." ”

After bringing this important prisoner down, Di Yingyang couldn't bear it anymore: "Three...... General, I think that the top priority now is not to continue to interrogate these criminals, but to think of ways to take down the Liao people who are still outside, otherwise let them escape, and the consequences will not be small. ”

Wei Chengnian also nodded: "Yes, others can be tried later, but if those fine works run away, they won't be able to catch them again." And after a day, they should already know about it, and if they don't find them, it's really too late. ”

Sun Tu smiled: "Although what you said is true, the question is that only based on these confessions, where can we find their location?" ”
