Chapter 415: Interrogating Ma Jiudao
Not long after sending Li Yifu away, Wang Fangyi returned with Ma Jiudao.
On an early winter morning, the branches of the trees whined in the cold wind.
On the threshing floor at the entrance of the village, Li Chengqian sat on a makeshift platform wearing a soft armor.
The three hundred guards in bright armor stood solemnly and majestically on both sides of Li Chengqian.
Ma Jiudao Chang wore a wide moon-white robe, which was made of high-quality silk, and looked light and elegant when worn on a person.
Usually, Ma Jiudao Chang wears this Taoist robe, and walks slowly in a posture, which makes people feel that he is a fairy wind and bones. Even if he is suspicious of his wife, when he sees such a Ma Jiudao chief, he will feel that he has a dirty mind and mistakenly thinks about the immortals.
But today, Ma Jiudao Chang was wearing this moon-white robe, which was more like a sheet, shrugged his shoulders with his head bowed, and took small steps nervously, his sleeves and clothes shook uncontrollably, and there was no beauty at all.
Li Chengqian sat on the high platform and looked at Ma Jiudao, who came over, and snorted coldly in his nose, these people are like this, relying on the pit to be abducted, and being praised by stupid people for a few words, they don't know who they are.
"Don't hurry up to see my son-in-law!" Cheng Wuting shouted coldly.
Ma Jiudao didn't care about what he was thinking when he heard this, and hurriedly lay on the ground and kowtowed: "I've seen the son, I've seen the son......"
Li Chengqian saw that he had almost scared Ma Jiudao, so he said lightly "um" and ordered Zhou Jin to come forward to interrogate, for a person like Ma Jiu, Li Chengqian would not personally talk to him mouth-to-mouth.
Zhou Jin walked to the front of Mian Jiu with a dark face.
Although Zhou Jin is short in stature, he is upright, and his majesty is intimidating. Walked up to Ma Jiudao, looked down at Ma Jiudao, and asked indifferently, "Is it Ma Jiu to kneel?"
Ma Jiudao raised his head, then hurriedly lowered his head and said, "It's the villain." ”
"The Three Ming Immortal Sect rebelled against you, but you are the mastermind?" Zhou Jin asked directly.
"Yes? Yes! No, no, it's all, Cai Wenying, Cai Wenying, Huang Feibee and Chen Pingping! Ma Jiu said the names of the three people without hesitation.
Hearing a faint "um" from above, he hurriedly stopped, and regretted in his heart that he didn't tell Li Bancheng, Daowang and others.
"Since you are not the mastermind, or you can live, how did you plan to invite them now?" Zhou Jin's tone softened slightly.
"It's not all their ——!" Ma Jiu wanted to say Li Bancheng.
"Uh-huh——?"
Li Chengqian couldn't help but hum coldly.
"Say it quickly, if you don't tell the truth, the official will cut you off the sacrificial flag immediately." Zhou Jin shouted angrily.
"I said, I said, these things were actually done by Li Bancheng and the government...... They said that the new Zhou County Commander is His Royal Highness the Prince's henchman, and as soon as he takes office, we will rebel, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will send people to force the people to rebel."
Li Chengqian knew it in his heart when he heard it, but he never thought that these people would take human life so seriously, and dare to mess up a place just to give him an unkind hat.
You must know that the two counties are in chaos, and I don't know how many people are going to be ruined.
Li Chengqian waved his hand and ordered someone to pull Ma Jiu down.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, the minister thought that he should immediately go to Luoyang to send troops and directly capture all the thieves." Pei Xingjian hurriedly suggested to Li Chengqian.
Li Chengqian glanced at Xue Rengui and said, "These people together are just a group of rabble, and it is not enough to cause trouble to the Tang Dynasty." ”
Xue Rengui took a step forward and bowed and said, "The minister is willing to lead the troops to clear the head of the rebellion." ”
Li Chengqian nodded and was about to speak, when he saw Pei Xingjian hurriedly said, "Absolutely not!" Although the traitors were a rabble, three hundred cavalry also took risks. ”
When Li Chengqian heard this, he glanced at Pei Xingjian angrily and said, "You listen to me first." ”
Hearing this, Pei Xingjian hurriedly lowered his head and waited for Li Chengqian to speak.
Li Chengqian looked up and looked around, saw that the fields were all bare, and knew that people here did not grow winter wheat, so he said in a low voice: "There is a way that is not broken or standing, since this place is already rotten, then the lonely king will let it rot completely." ”
Xue Rengui and Pei Xingjian were a little inexplicable when they heard this, the two glanced at each other, and Pei Xingjian hurriedly asked, "What does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince mean?"
Li Chengqian ignored him and ordered directly to Xue Rengui: "Rengui, you take three teams of men and horses to find the nest of the Yellow Flying Bee along the road that Li Yifu has walked, capture the Yellow Flying Bee first, and take over the displaced people there." ”
Xue Rengui heard the words and took the order.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is going to take advantage of these homeless people?" Pei Xingjian couldn't help but ask.
A cold smile appeared at the corner of Li Chengqian's mouth and said, "The gentry can use it, why can't the lonely king use it?" Since they were rich and unkind, the Lone King uprooted his foundation completely. ”
Pei Xingjian had already guessed a little bit of Li Chengqian's crazy thoughts, and his face couldn't help but turn a little pale.
Li Chengqian didn't care about him, and directly ordered: "Go and bring Ma Jiu." ”
A small school was busy passing on his life, and after a while, Zhou Jin personally carried Ma Jiudao to the high platform.
After this time, Ma Jiudao had already told Zhou Jin everything he knew, and at the same time, he stabilized his mood and was no longer as scared as he was just now.
Li Chengqian got up and walked to the edge of the high platform, looked at Ma Jiu with murderous intent in his eyes, and asked in a cold voice, "Is Ma Jiu willing to make meritorious service to redeem his life?"
Ma Jiudao Chang was shivered by Li Chengqian's eyes, and his mind that had just stabilized suddenly fell again, and when he heard this, he hurriedly knelt down and said, "The grass people are willing!" ”
"That's good! You go back right now, let Chen Ping and Cai Wenying rebel immediately, and then start looting the big families in the county. ”
Ma Jiu Dao Chang said with some embarrassment when he heard this: "But what the Dao King means, you must wait for the new county order to arrive before you can start an incident, and the grass people are afraid that they will not be able to persuade Cai Wenying." ”
Li Chengqian glanced at Ma Jiudao with sharp eyes.
Ma Jiu trembled with fright, but still said: "That's really the case, the grass people don't know why Cai Wenying listened to the king so much in this matter......" Ma Jiu said and begged for mercy without staying there.
"Are you saying that Cai Wenying still has some things to do that don't listen to the king?" Li Chengqian is very curious, it stands to reason that it is normal for these folk liars to be used by officials, and this Cai Wenying seems to have other plans?
"Hui Gongzi, as far as the grass people know, Cai Wenying only used the Dao King and Dai Thorn Shi to make the local government turn a blind eye to the development of the Sanming Immortal Sect, and gave some weapons and food.
Because Huang Feibee couldn't turn around and only wanted to be the dog of the Shi clan, Cai Wenying sent Huang Feibee to Yichuan County. Ma Jiu told everything he knew.
Li Chengqian listened and said secretly: That's fine, Cai Wenying of Song County is not the same as King Dao, I just happened to pacify Yichuan County first, and after Yichuan County is pacified, it doesn't matter what Cai Wenying has in mind.
"If the son is not a minister, he will go to Song County to take office, so that Cai Wenying will quickly rebel." Zhou Jin said.
Li Chengqian glanced at Zhou Jin and directly vetoed: "No." It's too treacherous. ”
Zhou Jin was moved when he heard this, and saluted again, and said solemnly: "The minister has the grace of the son's knowledge, and he often says that he is willing to go to the soup for the son, what is this danger?" Besides, he said—" He turned his head to look at Ma Jiudao.
Li Chengqian followed his gaze, thinking that with the protection of Ma Jiudao, Zhou Jin should not have an accident.
He nodded and agreed.
"If Ma Jiu is the Zhou County Order, if there is anything wrong, the Lone King will cut you and your family with a thousand knives."
Ma Jiudao has been guessing Li Chengqian's identity, at this time he called himself the Lone King, and he wanted to cut his entire family with a thousand knives, so frightened that his face was like earth, kowtowing like pounding garlic, and his mouth kept guaranteeing.
Li Chengqian didn't bother to look at him, and then looked at Zhou Jin sincerely: "Zhou Qing's family is careful, I have the help of the Qing family in the past two years, and I can't leave you." ”
Hearing this, Zhou Jin saluted Li Chengqian solemnly with tears in his eyes, then turned around and left tragically.
