Chapter 451: Xu Kun

The officials above the fourth grade in the capital are basically above the age of forty, and the wives of the dregs in the family are naturally past the age of giving birth to children, even if there are occasionally a few old trees blooming, they are mostly young and beautiful concubines.

Therefore, it is normal for Sun Shaozu to be at the top of the list.

In addition to him, the only official whose wife is pregnant above the fourth grade is Shaoqing of Taichang Temple.

Even the officials of the fifth and sixth grades have only five on the list, and most of them are the second ancestors who are under the shadow of their ancestors.

It was only at the level below the seventh rank that the number of people began to grow exponentially, and among them, the Hanlin Academy and the Daoist Yanguan, which were full of Jinshi, accounted for a considerable proportion.

However, when it came to the eighth grade, the number began to plummet again.

Most of the low-level officials at the bottom of the Guy have worked hard to get the status of a lifter, and they will not choose to be a nine-grade sesame official until they are getting older and the imperial examination is hopeless.

Get back to business.

However, he said that Sun Shaozong first swept it roughly, and then checked a few key suspects from top to bottom Since they are the ace spies that the White Lotus Sect places their hopes on, these three things of 'high position', 'weight', and 'great future' should at least account for one.

Having said that, the suspicion of the cheap big brother is even greater, and the list of more than 40 people is gathered, and he seems to be the only one who can really be called 'high and powerful and has a great future'.

And if you think about it carefully, the Sun family and the court have a 'revenge for killing their father'!

In addition, the two brothers were once in a difficult situation, and the cost of acquisition did not seem to be very high......

Tut~

This check comes and goes, it won't really find out to your own head, right?!

When he was struggling, he heard a sound of footsteps from far and near, Sun Shaozong raised his head and subconsciously looked up, but saw Lu Hui walking in with a gloomy face.

Sun Shaozong immediately restrained the entanglement in his heart, handed the 'xt' to Lu Hui, and said as if nothing was wrong: "This was sent just now, and please take a look at it." ”

In the final analysis, Sun Shaozong still trusts his eldest brother, and thinks he should not do such a 'trick' thing.

Lu Hui took the list, but he didn't rush to read it, but asked, "Has Sun Qianhu ever found out who the real traitor is?" ”

After getting a negative answer, his complexion seemed to be a little worse, he rolled up the list, knocked it a few times in his palm, and suddenly said resolutely: "At this very time, I can't care about the woman's kindness, and quickly bring Zang Liang and Xu Kun's families over!" ”

This is clearly planning to ignore 3721 and directly torture the two to extract confessions!

But didn't he say before that he would wait until the mole was found out before using the other party's family as a killer weapon?

"Your Excellency."

Sun Shaozong couldn't help but wonder: "Why do you need to be so anxious? Isn't there something wrong with the pool? ”

"It's not that old thief!"

Lu Hui took the Wang Xiang Lord to interrogate Ge Chen.

It was originally through the betrayal of Lord Wang Xiang that he pried open Ge Chen's mouth in one go.

Who knew that Ge Chen opened his mouth, but the information he revealed made Lu Hui disappointed, and even annoyed.

According to Ge Chen, when he led the team to the capital in a hurry, he knew that this errand was a life-or-death event, so before leaving, he discussed with the sect leader and several elders, and after he left the northwest, the addresses, contact information, and code cuts of each rudder would be replaced on a large scale.

In other words, Lord Wang Xiang's confession, which seemed to be full of fierce material, was actually like waste paper!

And from this point of view, even if you pry open Ge Chen's mouth, you may not be able to get much useful things.

This is a slap in the face for Lu Hui, who is eager to make meritorious contributions to save face and the trust of the imperial court, and it is no wonder that he is suddenly anxious and can't wait to find out the traitor.

Of course, this is also because Zhao Jiayi and others led by him have been cleared of suspicion, and the rest are just two petty officials from the sixth rank and the seventh grade, even if they are unjustly killed by 'unwarranted', for a special agency like Beizhen Fusi, it is also a conventional 'attrition' within the scope of bearing, and it will not put everyone in danger.

To put it bluntly, scenery and risk have always been two sides of the same coin, and the powerful dragon guards in Pingsuri will only end up worse than others if something goes wrong.

Although Sun Shaozong had the heart to persuade him, looking at Lu Hui's resolute appearance, he was afraid that he would not easily change his mind.

In addition, from those confessions, it was difficult to analyze the real traitor for a while, and he didn't dare to take it all in......

Therefore, after a little hesitation, Sun Shaozong had no choice but to retreat and arch his hand: "Lord Zhenfu, there is still a brother of his own in it, it is better to let me try it with words first, if it doesn't work, it is not too late to be punished." ”

Although it is a conventional 'attrition', it is naturally best if you can distinguish the real traitor without using torture.

So Lu Hui didn't think about it, so he entrusted the work of the initial interrogation to Sun Shaozong, as for the later stage, if he really couldn't do it, Sun Shaozong could only choose to be out of sight.

At least that's what Sun Shaozong thought about at first.

Until......

He met Zang Liang's daughter!

It's not the 'Since the moment I saw you xx' series, the little girl was about a year old, and she was tightly held in her arms by her mother, a thin and pitiful mess, which suddenly touched Sun Shaozong, who was a first-time father.

Who is this little person who is provoking whom?

With a secret sigh in his heart, Sun Shaozong mentioned the spirit of twelve, shouted Yang Licai and gave an order, and when he went down to prepare to stop, he led Xu Kun's parents and wife into the interrogation room.

Speaking of Xu Kun's wife, she is also innocent, she is the continuation of Xu Kun's marriage after entering Beijing, who wants to get married for less than half a year, and she will be on such a stall.

Because it is a continuation, this woman is just a folk girl, how have she ever seen the gloomy battle in this dungeon?

Before entering the interrogation room, he trembled and burst into tears, and when he saw dozens of hideous torture instruments in the interrogation room, he softened from the Baihui acupoint to the Yongquan acupoint, and slumped at the door, refusing to move half a step.

However, the two old ones still had some courage, snuggled up to each other and entered the interrogation room, and asked in horror and hope: "My lord, our family Xu Kun ......"

Sun Shaozong didn't answer, but Yang Licai, who had been waiting inside for a long time, waved his hand, and several dragon guards immediately stepped forward and locked the old couple and the daughter-in-law who was paralyzed with fright.

"Spare your life, spare your life, my lord!"

When the two old men saw this battle, they immediately lost all their spirits, but Xu Kun's wife came to her senses and immediately screamed: "I just married him a few days ago, I don't know what he has done, my lord!" ”

The high-pitched screams echoed through the torture chamber, and at the same time there was a smell of heat, and it was obvious that the woman had lost her intent.

Yang Licai frowned and shrugged his nose, and his right hand in his sleeve moved, probably wanting to take out a handkerchief to cover it, but in front of Sun Shaozong, he finally couldn't help but be a subordinate of his superiors.

However, he couldn't help but propose: "My lord, do you want to plug this woman's mouth?" ”

"No, just let her shout."

As he spoke, he heard the rattling of iron chains outside, and then a lean man broke in with a hideous face.

Seeing the three people hanging on the wall, he immediately knelt down on his knees, grabbed the ground with his head and said: "My son is not filial, you two elders who are tired have suffered!" ”

After saying that, he straightened up and looked at Sun Shaozong angrily and said: "Lord Qianhu, I, Xu Kun, joined the Beizhen Fusi as a martial artist at the age of nineteen, and I have come and gone in the wind and rain for fourteen years, even if there is no merit, there is hard work, right?" I don't understand it right now, how did it implicate my parents?! ”

This guy was a squinted eye, but at this time his eyes were round, his chest was like a mountain rising and falling when he spoke, and the chains of his hands were upside down behind him, and he was obviously extremely angry.

Judging from the expression alone, it doesn't look like he feels guilty.

However, it cannot be ruled out that he has actor-level acting skills, after all, if he is a spy, he is really performing with his life right now.

"How do you know you haven't figured it out?"

Sun Shaozongyun asked lightly, and then sneered: "After investigation, at the end of the day [close to eleven o'clock in the morning] someone threw a note through the wall and reported to the thieves inside, and there was a chance to approach the backyard of the Liyue Bureau at that time, only you and Zang Liang. ”

Speaking of this, he lowered his body slightly, stared at Xu Kun with burning eyes, and said word by word: "And just now, Zang Liang has proven his innocence!" ”

As soon as Xu Kun heard this, his face immediately looked like he had opened a grocery store, he had been a dragon guard for more than ten years, and he knew too well what it meant to be the only person who couldn't prove his innocence!

"No...... That's impossible! ”

Immediately, he was seven points flustered and three points furiously roared: "Lao Tzu has been following Lord Zhenfu in Jiangnan, how can he have anything to do with the White Lotus Sect?!" ”

"So to speak."

Sun Shaozong was still staring at him deadly, and asked rhetorically, "It's not the White Lotus Sect that instructed you behind your back?" ”

"I ......"

Xu Kun was speechless for a moment, and then said angrily: "No one instructed me at all, and I, Xu Kun, have never done anything to be sorry for Lord Zhenfu and sorry for Beizhen Fusi!" ”

Judging from the subtle facial expressions, there is still no flaw, especially the momentary dazedness, even if you are prepared, I am afraid that it will be difficult to act so naturally.

In this way, Zang Liang's suspicion is ......

Although it was somewhat progressive, Sun Shaozong was really not happy, sighed in his heart and stood up straight, and glanced at Yang Licai on the side.

Yang Licai immediately led someone forward to free Xu Kun's family.

At the same time, the junior colonel, who was in charge of escorting Xu Kun, was also busy opening the chains on his body.

This sudden change made Xu Kun completely stunned, subconsciously rubbing the bruises on his wrists, and hesitating: "My lord, this is ......."

"Actually, Zang Liang hasn't been able to clear his suspicion yet, if you want to prove your innocence, you will cooperate with this official to act in a scene."
