Chapter 72: Catching a Big Fish
"Donghu?"
Chen Song was stunned, and his face showed surprise.
As the leader of the guards around Fusu, he clearly knows who he wants to arrest this time.
It was the county lieutenant who fornicated with the Huns in an attempt to cooperate with the outside world, but the matter was revealed and arrested, and under torture, he confessed to colluding with the rich businessmen in the county, wanting to take advantage of the chaos to make another profit.
According to Chen Song's understanding, at most, it can be regarded as a group of thieves who take advantage of the fire to rob, and it is not a rebellion.
But listening to the meaning of this guy's speech, it doesn't seem to be as simple as robbing while the fire is hot......!
Cao Zhengchun is an experienced spy leader in the end, with rich experience and first-class kung fu, and he maintains a smile on his face.
From the beginning to the end, there was a look on his face that I already knew.
nodded and said, "Well, even if you are smart enough to confess yourself, you won't suffer a lot of flesh and skin." ”
Under the expression of the old god, he was actually so excited that his liver was pounding, and he had suppressed the excitement in his heart with years of qi cultivation and hard work.
As a eunuch, only by always trusting the superiors can you gain greater power.
There was once an emperor who was deeply trusted by the ancestors of the eunuch world, and he also got the opportunity to be released as an official.
It's a pity that behind the seemingly scenery, there is a hidden danger.
After leaving the emperor's side, his position was quickly replaced by other eunuchs, and he was gradually forgotten, and finally ended in a bleak ending.
Therefore, if you want to keep this power, you must spare no effort to appear and be a useful and loyal dog!
This is the basic operation as a eunuch!
Originally, I just wanted to catch a fish that slipped through the net, and more or less behaved in front of Childe to strive for a sense of existence, but I didn't expect to catch a big fish!
Compared with the behavior of the bandits, it is simply the difference between heaven and earth!
As a close minister around him, he clearly knew that if he just cleaned up a hidden danger on the charge of taking advantage of the fire to rob, at most, let Gongzi nod slightly to indicate that he knew, and he would not be able to reflect his value at all.
But with Gongzi's attitude towards foreign races, he caught a rich businessman who secretly had dealings with the Donghu people, and that was a great achievement.
At the very least, you can also get a word of encouragement!
As long as you can prove the value of existence, you can be simple in the emperor's heart, and all this will be worth it!
Seeing that Gou Li was already frightened, it was the best time to talk to him, how could he easily miss it!
Suddenly, he gently patted the other party's shoulder.
smiled: "We have already grasped your affairs clearly, otherwise how could we have grabbed you with a bow and crossbow, don't you say?" ”
"Yes, yes, yes, you said! If you want to know anything, I know it all! Gou Li was already bluffed by the other party's appearance that he was in control, and he really thought that the news of the fornication with Donghu had leaked, so he hurriedly nodded and looked like he had to answer all questions.
Cao Zhengchun narrowed his eyes and said, "Let's tell you honestly about how you fornicated with other races, and it can also prove that you sincerely want to forgive your sins." ”
Immediately, his eyes were cold, and he said with murderous intent in his voice: "Your matter, we have investigated it clearly, and the evidence is conclusive, if you still dare to take chances!" Hmph, then start with your family and kill them one by one until you are honest! ”
Gou Li's heart trembled, and his limp body hurriedly knelt on the ground, begging? "I say, I say, I say it all! Leave them alone, please let them live! ”
Cao Zhengchun narrowed his eyes and said lightly: "There are joint sittings in the laws of Great Qin, whether you can forgive their sins depends on your attitude!" ”
"Yes, yes, the villain must be honest!" Gou Li was completely frightened.
Hurriedly said: "The villain was originally just an ordinary trader, and one day the county lieutenant found me and wanted me to secretly sell things to the Donghu people!"
At that time, the villain was also blindfolded, so he agreed to him!
But the villain didn't do anything unfavorable to Daqin except for buying and selling private salt, you must believe me, you have to believe me! ”
Chen Song raised his eyebrows, and shouted coldly: "You dare to sell illicit salt, you are so bold!" The imperial court explicitly forbade the sale of illicit salt, and you not only disobeyed the law, but also sold it to the Donghu people, you should be killed! ”
If the county lieutenant in charge of law and order and anti-theft supports a spokesperson to sell illicit salt, it is really not a difficult thing!
Gou Li's heart trembled, and he hurriedly explained: "My lord Mingjian, it was the county lieutenant who asked me to do this!" If I don't agree, he will definitely kill the villain in order to prevent the news from leaking! It's not a pity for the villain to die by himself, but how can he bear to affect his innocent wife and children! ”
Chen Song said coldly: "So, in addition to colluding with the Huns, the county lieutenant also has dealings with the Donghu people?" ”
"Collusion with the Huns?" Gou Li was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "The villain doesn't know that the county lieutenant and the Huns have colluded, and the county lieutenant only lets the villain out of the city, and never asks whether the villain sold the illicit salt to the Huns, Donghu, or Yue's ......." He only collects money, and if something happens, it's the villain's fault, so he never asks! ”
Cao Zhengchun bowed slightly, thinking in his heart: "No wonder he didn't confess to colluding with Donghu under the torture of my Dongchang, it turned out that he really didn't know!" ”
Otherwise, colluding with the Xiongnu to betray Daqin is already a felony of stealing the family and exterminating the clan anyway, and honestly say it first can be less tortured.
And the county lieutenant is a soft bone, he was already put aside when he was just sentenced, how dare he deliberately hide it!
Chen Song gritted his teeth in anger, turned his head and asked angrily, "Lord Cao, what should I do next, do you want to kill this daring thing?" ”
"Ahh Don't kill me, don't kill me! Gou Li was startled and hurriedly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
Cao Zhengchun squinted his eyes and thought about it, and said with a sad smile: "Don't worry, take this person to see Gongzi first, and wait for Gongzi at most!" ”
Then he said with a smile: "I have to bother the brothers of the guards to arrest this person's family, and none of them can run away!" ”
Chen Song turned his head to look at the men, women, and children who were hiding in the distance and watching, and sneered: "Don't worry, this house has been surrounded by clusters, even if you have wings, it will be difficult to fly!" ”
"It's hard work!"
Cao Zhengchun thanked him with a smile, and his thoughts about meritorious service became more urgent.
Only by making Gongzi pay more attention to it can he gain more power, otherwise he will have to bother others even to arrest people, which is really not the style of this former overseer of Dongchang!
After some searching, Cao Zhengchun personally tied Gou Li and escorted him to the official office, and asked Gongzi for credit!
Fusu was also secretly surprised after listening to the report, originally he was just removing a hidden danger at random, but he didn't expect that there would be an accident and caught a big fish that had dealings with Donghu!
Gou Li was tied up and knelt on the ground, his body trembling, and he didn't even dare to look at the head of the Great Qin Gongzi.
There is only endless despair in my heart.
According to the law of Great Qin, he is going to be beheaded all over the house and raze the three clans!
