Chapter 640: Unpredictable
The twelve rooms of the Yin Hotel in Linhua County were packed, four of them were occupied by Lord Assassin Shi and his subordinates, four were occupied by the Longwei Mansion, three rooms were vacated to house the generals of the Anton Metropolitan Protectorate, and the last one was given to Lu Shengyuan. Although he had carefully cleaned, incense was placed on the table, and the bed was a brand new bedding, Lu Shengyuan still felt a lingering musty smell in the air.
The cleanliness of the son of the family came back to his body, Lu Shengyuan felt itchy when he lay on the bed, always felt that there were bed bug bites on the bed, and there were a lot of red envelopes on his body, so he simply got up, lit the lamp, took a book and sat at the table. My head was a mess, I couldn't read a word, and thinking about what had happened in the past few days was like a nightmare.
Finally escaped from death, as the saying goes, if you don't die, there will be a blessing, Lu Shengyuan comforted himself, and carefully conceived in his heart how to be righteous and awe-inspiring after being held by the thief, and scolded the rebel thief.
Thinking like this, Lu Shengyuan became excited, threw the book in his hand, and paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back. Suddenly remembered that Long Weilai, if this person showed up to expose his lies and tell the truth about his unbearable appearance, I am afraid that it would be good to keep his current position, not to mention promotion.
Sadly returned to the chair and sat down, Lu Shengyuan stroked his beard in distress, seeing that Ji Datao intended to protect his shortcomings during the day, and then saw that the dragon guard wanted to stabilize him first, spend money to eliminate the disaster, and give him some silver so that he would not talk nonsense. Also, it is a big trouble for his official seal to be taken away by Ye Yanguang, and it is necessary to find a way to get it back as soon as possible.
Lu Shengyuan would be happy and annoyed, excited and depressed, tossing back and forth in the room, sleepless all night. Also sleepless all night is Xiong Yi'an, who is pure happiness.
The outer wall and the wall of the house were demolished, and the courtyard inside was still preserved, Xiong Yi'an beckoned Ji Datao to sit in the pavilion in the garden, and instructed his family to prepare a banquet. Bi Luochun, Huang Su drunk, Qiongzhou liquid, Ming Yuexiang plus the newly squeezed into the list of famous wines, each two jars are piled up on the edge of the pavilion, the two of them test each other while drinking, each other's bottom line is gradually clear, and the more they eat, the happier they are.
The domestic servant Xiong Qiang came over and said, "Son, there are two people outside the door who ask to see each other, saying that there is something important to report." β
Xiong Yi'an scolded: "Don't you see that I'm accompanying the distinguished guest?" Don't retreat yet. β
Ji Datao said with a smile: "You might as well meet, maybe there is something really big." β
Xiong Yi'an said: "Master Ji is not an outsider, and he will bring people here directly in the future." β
The effort was not great, two men in tattered clothes appeared, Xiong Qiang drank the people who came, and asked them to talk back three feet away in front of the pavilion. Gao Shuitian picked up the hair that was deliberately draped in front of his face, and said with a smile: "Yu Gongzi, long time no see." β
Xiong Yi'an felt that the person who came was a little familiar, he had not met Gao Shuitian many times, and he never paid attention to such a little person with the nature of a thug, and asked hesitantly: "Who are you?" β
"Yu Gongzi is really a noble man who forgets things, and the villain is Gao Shuitian next to Ye Yanguang."
Gao Shuitian, the rebel who escaped, Ji Datao stood up with the handle of the knife in his hand, and looked at Gao Shuitian with a tigerish gaze. Xiong Yixin moved, and said: "Gao Shuitian, you are a key criminal arrested by the court, what is the matter with Xiong, don't you want to surrender yourself." β
Don't you dare?? Collect? Squatting on the edge of the collapse target U private? Heaps of Dumplings? In a hurry? θ½η¬forgive!?/p>
"Oh, you took Ye Yanguang, where is he now?" Xiong Yi'an was pleasantly surprised. Although his father Xiong Zhiren was named the Marquis of Sincerity by the Son of Heaven because his sister became the crown princess, he will be able to inherit the title in the future, but according to the system, he will be demoted to the Earl of Sincerity, but how can the inherited title be more glorious than his own merits, not to mention that the extra title can offset the demotion and retain the title of the Marquis. In addition, the case of the Yamen of the Transfer Division has Ye Yanguang, and the evidence is complete, no matter how much Chang Yuchao and others deny it, they will not be able to escape the responsibility, plus the thieves themselves took the lead in demolishing the house to save the city during the siege of the city, and took the lead in setting an example, these several credits are added together, and it should not be difficult for the official to be promoted to the third level.
Ji Datao was also overjoyed, although Gao Shuitian sold Ye Yanguang to Xiong Yi'an, he had to share half of the credit when he happened to have a meeting. Hearing Gao Shuitian say that Ye Yanguang was temporarily hidden outside the city, Ji Datao immediately said: "You should take this official out of the city to get people now, so as not to have too many dreams at night." β
Gao Shuitian bowed his head and was silent, and Sun Qiang had the courage to say for him: "Two adults, Master Gao wants to atone for his sins and ask for some benefits from the two adults." β
Ji Datao and Xiong Yi'an glanced at each other and said with a smile: "If it is really Ye Yanguang, this official and Lord Xiong can vouch for your exoneration, not only will you not be prosecuted for the crime of rebellion, but you will also benefit from it afterwards." β
With Ji Datao's assurance, Gao Shuitian and Sun Qiang knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and thanked: "Thank you, sir." β
The closure of the city gate could not help Longwei's state rule, Ji Datao opened the west gate in the name of Longwei's errand, took Gao Shuitian out of the city, and came back half an hour later, Ji Datao's saddle was horizontally placed in front of Ye Yanguang, and a group of people returned to Xiongfu.
Xiong Yi'an was waiting with strong tea, the courtyard wall was demolished, and the sound of horses' hooves came unhindered. Ji Datao jumped off the horse and carried a Ye Yanguang tied to his back. By the light of the torch, Xiong Yi'an recognized at a glance that it was Ye Yanguang.
Interrogated overnight while the iron was hot, Xiong Yi'an asked Li Yubo to invite him to confront Ye Yanguang. Ye Yanguang was already discouraged, and he turned a deaf ear to Ji Datao's questioning, and lowered his head and only wanted to die quickly. Ji Datao sneered: "In the hands of Long Wei, it is not so easy to die, if you can taste the eighteen criminal laws of Long Wei Mansion and still not speak, Ji will admire you as a man." Come on, go and prepare the brazier. β
Xiong Yi'an frowned imperceptibly, preparing the brazier, this is preparing to burn the prisoner. He has lived in this house for two years, and the decoration of the house has taken a little thought, thinking of the scorching smell that will be emitted in the house in the future, Xiong Yi'an really can't stand it, he doesn't want to change the house.
Shaking the folding fan and thinking about it, Xiong Yi'an said: "Ye Yanguang, I know that you know that you can't escape the death penalty, so you want to die, but have you ever thought about it for your wife and children, Xiong remembers that you have three sons and two daughters, all of whom are not yet minors, and I remember that last year, your eldest son was admitted to the middle school and invited me to the banquet."
The words were like a boulder thrown into a heart lake like stagnant water, Ye Yanguang raised his head and looked at Xiong Yi'an, this jade boy was standing in the light wind god jade, warm as jade, and the smile on his face was still like a spring breeze.
"Lord Xiong, if you can protect Ye's wife and children, you can let Ye say anything." Ye Yanguang knew that he would die, his wife and children would definitely not be able to escape the pursuit of the court, if he could use his life to save his family, of course Ye Yanguang was willing.
Xiong Yi'an gently shook the folding fan in his hand and said indifferently: "Ye Yanguang, you and I are old acquaintances, and I don't have to lie to you." If you want your family to have nothing, Xiong can't do it, but to save their lives, Xiong can promise you that your wife and daughter will definitely be sold officially, and Xiong will send someone to buy them and settle down at that time, as for your three sons to be charged to the army according to the law, Xiong can take care of it for you and let them fall lightly. β
Now that it is too late to regret it, Ye Yanguang's hand is stubbornly picking at the cracks of the floor tiles, and tears are dripping on the green bricks, and they are quickly wet. Xiong Yi'an's words were somewhat credible, Ye Yanguang thought about it again and again, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "Lord Xiong, Ye believes in your promise and is willing to confess from the truth." If Lord Xiong deceives me, Ye Mou will become a powerful ghost and come to ask for his life even if he is under Jiuquan. β
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say", Xiong Yi'an shook the folding fan lightly, thinking that money can make ghosts grind, if he really lost his words, he would ask the monk to surpass his soul, how could he turn him into an evil ghost.
Explain the rebellion first, Ye Yanguang put the blame on Rao Qiangfeng, Qi Zhitu and Guo De, he was just forced to be helpless to comply, Ji Datao was too lazy to refute, anyway, it was a dead word. Then he explained to the Yamen of the Transit Department and him to join hands to make shoddy and less to make more, and Li Yubo wrote it, asked in detail, and wrote down a lot of confessions. By the time everything was asked, it was already the fourth watch.
Ji Datao yawned, took the confession and looked at it casually in his hand, and said with a smile: "With these things, it can be regarded as ironclad evidence." That Rao Qiangfeng was originally the bandit leader of Yinling Mountain in Pingzhou, and once robbed Fangzhou's tax silver, and after Yinling Mountain was pacified, he actually ran to Xiaozhong Mountain and tried to rebel, which was really a thief. The resurgence of the Yuan Tianjiao and the intervention in this rebellion must be quickly brought to court, so that the court can draw pictures at the traffic checkpoint to arrest these rebels. β
Li Yubo was concerned about how to bring down the officials of the Yamen of the Transport Division, and said: "Lord Xiong, with Ye Yanguang's confession, the evidence that Chang Yuchao and these people are corrupt and pervert the law and enrich their private pockets is conclusive. β
Xiong Yi'an said with a smile: "Lord Li, don't be impatient, Ai Tingshi has already said that the case of the transfer division yamen will wait for Lord Qin to ask Lord Lu, Brother Li will live in the house for the time being, and after the Qin mission comes, we might as well see how Lord Lu asks about the case." β
Turning his face, Xiong Yi'an said to Ji Datao: "There are many vacant rooms in my house, Lord Ji might as well bring his men down to settle here, I and the adults hit it off at first sight, and it is really happy to live together to drink and talk." Besides, there are adults living here, so it's good to watch Ye Yanguang by the way. β
Ji Datao listened to Xiong Yi'an's words with deep meaning, and the meaning of his obedience was that Ye Yanguang didn't want to tell anyone about his arrest, who did this jade boy want to deal with secretly. Puzzled in his heart, he said with a smile on his face: "The Yin Hotel in the county government is indeed a little crowded, and the food is far inferior to the house, so Ji is bothered." β
