Chapter 43: The Prisoner
"Mr. Ge, let me introduce you, this is Gao Qing of the Spiegel Division, Master Gao, and now he is in the army of the Spiegel Division." Wang Ting said with a smile, "Lord Gao, this is Ge Gu Yue Ge's senior, born in the Xiaguang Sect. โ
The old man named Ge Guyue just squinted slightly and touched his long white beard, but did not speak.
"Those two are Mr. Liao Jingzong of the White Hawk Sect and Mr. Yuan Shicheng of Yunshan Guan." Wang Ting continued.
Liao Jingzong and Yuan Shicheng only nodded to Gao Qing with indifferent expressions.
Gao Qing arched his hand and said: "It turns out that they are all seniors in the martial arts, and they are disrespectful and disrespectful." โ
Wang Ting said: "Now, these three seniors are serving the imperial court and guarding the prisoners of the Heavenly Prison No. A cell. โ
"Boy, you have to make it clear," at this time, Ge Guyue, who was silent on the side, suddenly spoke, "We were not recruited by the imperial court, it was the imperial court that promised us to be in charge of the sect and would ensure the eternal peace of our sect before going down the mountain, otherwise, the old man is so old, and the days of idle clouds and wild cranes are not enough, come to the heavenly prison of the imperial capital to wade in this troubled water?" โ
Wang Ting smiled and said: "Yes, yes, the junior has lost his word." โ
The first emperor of Chu was martial, so ten years ago, he promulgated a policy called "Guoshi Volunteer Recruitment Law", in addition to the implementation of the Confucian scholars since the founding of the country, but also to recruit masters from all over the country to serve in the court, in order to enhance the combat power of the court, and to teach the royal children to practice martial arts and morality, in order to achieve his expectations of "both civil and military, courtesy, righteousness and loyalty, virtue and gentleness, modesty and pure filial piety" of the concept of governing the country and settling down, before its collapse, he also left a will, this law can never be abolished, so it has been left until now.
Gao Qing looked at the royal court, who had always been serious and majestic, so humble in front of these three people, thinking that their martial arts must be above the royal court, so this dignified prison prison did not dare to slack off in the slightest.
Although the Xiaguang faction, the White Eagle faction and the Yunshan view are just some second-rate martial arts sects, they all have their own uniqueness, if they specialize in their own methods, they can also become a master after decades of study, from the breath of Ge, Liao, and Yuan, they must have started to practice hard from the bottom of their childhood, and it took at least more than 30 years to have such a calm and extraordinary internal strength.
However, there is still a little gap between them and the real masters of the world.
I only heard Wang Ting continue: "I won't say much other nonsense, I came today, and it was this tall man who wanted to bring a prisoner with a character A to be transferred to the Spiegel Division." โ
Yuan Shicheng said: "Is there an approval from the Criminal Department?" โ
Gao Qing frowned: "What approval?" โ
Liao Jingzong's eyes shrank slightly when he heard this: "The prisoners in the heavenly prison are felons of the imperial court, and they must have the approval document stamped by the criminal department, and our guards will extract the prisoner's name according to the approval document." As an official of the imperial court, how come you don't even know this basic statute? โ
Gao Qing smiled: "Mr. Liao, didn't you hear that I am from the Spiegel Division?" โ
Yuan Shicheng's face was obviously a little gloomy: "What about the Spiegel Division?" โ
"What about Spiegel? It seems that Mr. Yuan still doesn't understand the mechanism of the imperial court. Gao Qing said to Yuan Shicheng, but his eyes glanced at Liao Jingzong meaningfully, as if to say, "You are the ones who don't understand the charter."
Ge Guyue said coldly: "Then please ask Master Gao to give me some explanations." โ
"The Spiegel Division is now a department directly under His Majesty, and it is responsible for supervising the affairs of the world for His Majesty, so it has the right to act cheaply, and can exercise and issue orders beyond the three provinces and six ministries." Gao Qing took out the golden seal from his bosom and showed it in front of everyone, "This seal is even proof." โ
Seeing this, Wang Ting immediately knelt down and said, "Seeing the golden seal is like seeing Your Majesty, gentlemen, kneel down quickly." โ
Ge Guyue and the other three were all stunned, looked at each other, and finally secretly gritted their teeth and knelt down a little unwillingly.
"'The shore of the land is not the king's land. The minister who leads the land is not the king's minister. 'No matter how good your martial arts are, in front of the imperial power, you must bow your head and kneel. โ
Gao Qing thought so in his heart, looking at the golden seal in his hand, he was even more eager to have power. However, when he thought of He Qian's face, he was immediately discouraged, he didn't dare to compete with that unpredictable Si Cheng.
"Okay, you don't have to be polite, let's get even." Gao Qingtoe said proudly.
Wang Ting and the others slowly got up, and Gao Qing no longer coerced them, and put away the golden seal.
Ge Gu Yue said: "In that case, then I don't know who the Spiegel Division wants to mention?" He didn't speak in the same arrogant tone as before, and after this threat, he was visibly a little depressed.
Gao Qing said word by word: "Qin Tian." โ
As soon as his words fell, Ge, Liao, and Yuan's faces suddenly changed, and they said with pale faces: "Lord Gao, you are not wrong, right?" You're going to mention the ยทยทยทยทยทยท."
"You heard it right, it's that 'Ten Thousand Slaughterer' Qin Tian." Wang Ting said on the side.
"Ten Thousand Butchers?" Gao Qing raised his eyebrows, slightly surprised.
"It seems that Lord Gao is not very familiar with that Qin Tian."
Although the changes in his face were slight, they were still captured by the old and spicy Ge Guyue.
Gao Qing coughed lightly: "I'm only responsible for bringing people back, and He Sicheng didn't say much about the rest." โ
Ge Gu Yue said: "Then I will tell you about this criminal, so that Master Gao knows how to face this prisoner." โ
"Then please ask Mr. Ge to give me some mention." Gao Qing's attitude became deferential.
Although Ge Yuyue knew that it was false, he was still very useful, and said: "Qin Tian was admitted to the heavenly prison five years ago after committing a very serious murder crime. Because he was wounded, and we relied on our martial arts, we did not tie him with a tiger rope when we took over, but only with the usual shackles. โ
"Unexpectedly, at this moment, this person suddenly attacked, broke the shackles and then defeated me and Shicheng in only six moves, if it weren't for Jingzong's unique secret weapon eagle beak thorn, which pecked his spine and dantian, and unloaded his internal strength, I am afraid that this person has been killed."
"Now, although he is in prison, we still dare not relax, and we use eagle beak thorns to seal his life gate and qi sea cave all year round, use iron ropes to hoop his limbs, and send three meals a day to feed him by special people until next year."
Gao Qing said: "How much murder did he commit?" โ
Wang Ting said: "Within five days, the three small sects and about 300 people in the Yongzhou territory were killed, and no chickens and dogs were left. Not only that, but he has killed quite a few people before. According to the law of Da Chu, he should be sentenced to first-class homicide, and those with serious circumstances parade through the streets, escorted to the entrance of the vegetable market, and executed at noon. If there are more than 200 dead people under the jurisdiction of the state and county, the county will be dismissed, and the state and county will be held accountable. The Yongzhou assassination history and the two county officials where the tragedy occurred were afraid of taking responsibility, so they colluded with the criminal department to desperately suppress the case, and did not dare to let the above know, so they kept it on hold for three years. The criminal department did not hear the case until the situation was almost settled, but the real death toll was concealed, and he was sentenced to beheading this year. โ
Gao Qing secretly wondered in his heart: "Killed more than 300 people!" How did he do it? Also, this person has committed such a heinous crime, no matter how much the Criminal Department hides it, it is impossible to escape the eyes of my Spiegel Division, why have I never heard of it? Moreover, why didn't the Spiegel Division's Xuanji Pavilion include this person? Moreover, what does Si Cheng want this person to do? โ
"Prison Keeper Wang, this person's martial arts are so strong, do you know his identity and motive for committing the crime?" Gao Qing asked.
"I only know that it is from Yanzhou, but the specific place of origin has not yet been found. worships what sect and faction, and he doesn't say anything, as for the motive, he just talks about the grievances of the rivers and lakes. Every time I was interrogated before, I was vague, and I used all kinds of punishments, but I couldn't pry his mouth open, and I didn't let it go. In this regard, the Criminal Department was worried and did not bother to continue the investigation. Wang Tingdao.
Gao Qing pondered for a moment and said, "Take me to see him." โ
Dongshi, Jingkangfang, Tiweifu, Haizheng
After arranging everything, Xiao Chongguang was about to put away the drawings, Lu Yunsheng suddenly said: "Wait, Brother Xiao, I thought of a question, if we disperse our forces like this, I am afraid that we will hurt the people, except for the patrol team pretending to be a guard, there is a possibility of accidents in other areas, after all, there is no precise target there, the assassin's skill is to kill people, and it is not very good at making trouble." โ
When Xiao Chongguang heard this, he pondered for a moment, but he ignored this fatal point.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he raised his head and said to everyone present: "I suddenly remembered that in the past few days, the assassins have been assassinating our Tiwei Mansion, mainly because we are actively investigating and tracking the 'Assassination of Liu Case', which is likely to hinder their next plan, if there is a Tiwei appear, their spearhead will definitely be pointed at us first." โ
"So you're trying to ยทยทยทยทยทยท" Lu Yunsheng raised his eyebrows, as if he had guessed Sogo's thoughts.
Xiao Chongguang continued: "I mean, since the absolute security of these suspected areas cannot be guaranteed now, it is better to disperse the Jingzhao Mansion officials who are disguised as guards directly to these downtown areas as bait to attract assassins and target them as a target to minimize the harm to civilians." โ
Lu Yunsheng nodded: "It can only be like this, but in this way, the safety of the brothers in Jingzhao Mansion has increased a little." โ
"What's the way, like disguised work, only we are good at guarding, plus there are not enough people, these superficial jobs can only be handed over to them." Xiao Chongguang was also very helpless, if it wasn't a last resort, he didn't want to borrow someone from Jingzhao Mansion and owe them a favor.
Then Ji Yun said: "Brother Xiao, why don't you arrange me in one of them, I have superhuman insight, maybe I can smell the danger in advance and reduce the possible casualties." โ
Guo Ting said: "I also mean this. โ
Sogo smiled: "Well, with two masters here, I feel much more at ease." That time, Brother Ji went to Qingpingfang, and Brother Guo went to Yihefang, where there were the most high-ranking mansions. I will personally go to inspect the surroundings of the Imperial City, and Yunsheng will sit in the mansion, arrange scheduling, and pass on information. Remember, be sure to lay in ambush and don't let the assassins in the shadows find the flaws. โ
"Understood!"
