Chapter 690: Catch the Tomb Robber
"People live in the world, and what they pay attention to is a willingness, and this king is still quite interested in this." Zhan Ge smiled silently.
The fingers behind his back rubbed against each other, looking at Zhenbei Hou with a smile.
He saw that Zhan Ge had made up his mind, a trace of gloom flashed in his eyes, and he didn't smile: "Since that's the case, I'm waiting for your good news, Lord Wang." ”
"Of course, Zhenbei Hou walks slowly."
Zhan Ge gave an eviction order, and Hou Ye didn't have the face to continue to stay, so he threw his sleeves and left with a cold face.
Yan Wushuang, who heard the end from the beginning to the end in the corner, jumped out and pouted disdainfully: "He's crazy, when the evidence is conclusive, I see what qualifications he has." ”
Even the emperor has to give Zhan Ge three points of thin noodles, and the Marquis of Zhenbei inevitably regards himself too much.
Zhan Ge smiled: "You can't be angry with him, the more he hinders me from investigating, the more he proves that he is weak-hearted, then we will definitely be able to find out something from it." ”
Yan Wushuang seemed to have some truth when he heard it, and clapped his hands and reluctantly did not continue to be angry.
"Next, I will send people out, and the soldiers will be divided into two ways, one is to confuse him, and the other is to really start the investigation."
Zhan Ge methodically told Yan Wushuang the plan, her eyes rolled, and beckoned him to bow down.
"We can have those people pretend to be farmers guarding them, so they don't get noticed."
He tapped her head lightly and smiled, "You've got all the ideas in your head all day long, and they're all good ideas." ”
"That is, you are really lucky to marry me."
The husband and wife were intimate for a while, and Zhan Ge arranged for them to go down.
There are no waves in the capital, and everyone is living their lives as usual, not knowing the dark tide surging under the calm.
It was not until the night of the third day that the men of the war caught a group of suspicious figures, dressed in black and fully equipped.
The subordinates didn't dare to jump to conclusions, so they could only hurriedly invite Zhan Ge over.
"Lord Wang, these people are secretive, and there are shovels and other tools, and my subordinates brought them back."
"All here?" Zhan Ge had just finished taking a shower, and his hair was wet and hanging down behind his waist, a little more lazy.
"Not a single one of them ran."
Yan Wushuang sat on the side, scanning the row of tools on the ground, and heard that there was still a board cart in the front yard.
"What kind of people are you, what are you trying to do when you run to the cemetery in the middle of the night?" Zhan Ge leaned back in his chair and asked in a deep voice.
"Isn't it because you have relatives there, so you deliberately chose to go and worship at night." Yan Wushuang opened his mouth lightly, blocking the last retreat of those people.
The man on his knees was trembling, probably having struggled before, and his clothes were covered with mud.
They kowtowed to the ground, not daring to squeak, and the guards next to them saw that they were impatient, and raised their legs and kicked the waist of the nearest person.
"What did the princess and princess ask you, dumb?"
The man wailed, immediately knelt down again, trembled and pointed to the thing in front of him, trembling, and said, "The little ones just want to eat together, so they have this kind of idea, and the prince and princess will run away from us." ”
"What's the idea?"
The corners of Zhan Ge's mouth hooked, forcing the man to admit it himself.
He gritted his teeth and said: "The little ones are tomb robbers, who specialize in stealing some valuable burial goods to live, and they have never done anything harmful to the heavens and reason. ”
After saying that, he kowtowed on the ground, and soon a big bag was swollen on his forehead.
"That's all?" Yan Wushuang asked suspiciously, if it was really just a tomb robbery, why did you need a board car.
The man replied without hesitation: "It's really just stealing the burial goods, and we don't dare to move the corpse." ”
The dead are great, and Yongguo is also very superstitious about ghosts and gods, and he doesn't look like a liar.
"Jokes, so that the ancestors are not at peace, this is what you call no harm? Bring the people back, and then the king will interrogate them properly. ”
The smile in Zhan Ge's eyes disappeared, and he found an excuse to imprison people in the palace, facing Yan Wushuang's puzzled eyes, and waited for everyone to leave before he could tell the story.
"These people are hard-mouthed, if they don't find an excuse to lock them up in the palace today, they will be sent to the yamen, and then the marquis of Zhenbei will find a few more scapegoats, and there will be no clues."
Yan Wushuang nodded clearly, took the towel handed over by the next person, and sucked up the water droplets from his hair little by little.
"It's not early, go back and rest, and interrogate again tomorrow."
There is a torture chamber in the palace, and the various torture instruments in it alone are enough to frighten people, and those tomb robbers have been locked up all night, and they must be very honest tomorrow.
At noon the next day, Yan Wushuang followed Zhan Ge to the torture room, they came deliberately late, and several tomb robbers curled up in the corner, their eyes blue and black proved that they didn't sleep well last night.
"What? Have you figured it out? Who told you to steal the body? ”
Yan Wushuang pretended to know everything, and continued: "This matter is a big crime, but as long as you tell the truth, not only will you not be embarrassed, but you can also be saved." ”
She leisurely fiddled with her carefully made nails: "How, in the end, do you want to say it." ”
"The little one is really just stealing some burial goods, such an unlucky thing, we don't dare to touch it." The tomb robbers wept and mourned, biting to death and not admitting that they had stolen the body.
He lowered his head, his eyes flashed, if the Hou Ye of Zhenbei knew, they would also be a dead word, and now he was resolutely unwilling to say it, maybe the Hou Ye could save them.
"Lord Wang, you can send us to the official mansion, the little ones already know that they are wrong, and they won't dare next time."
He pointed to the torture instruments hanging on the walls around him in fear, he hadn't slept all night last night, and he was woken up by squinting for a while.
"Heh, it's really a toast and don't eat and drink, you really have to suffer a little."
Zhan Ge raised his hand slightly, and soon someone stepped forward and whipped them fiercely with a leather whip, and for a while, the screams in the torture room were heard outside.
"Lord Wang, we really don't dare, if there is a lie, the little ones are willing to thunder five times a day."
Just a few words over and over again, none of them are useful, these people are also old fritters, not only do not confide, but purely to disgust them.
Things became at a loss, Yan Wushuang's brows were also tightly locked, and his mouth was pursed.
The men's cries grew fainter, and the ground was stained red.
"That's enough, stop fighting, find this place today, and then come and interrogate them later."
Yan Wushuang couldn't stand it at first, so he asked them to stop, and pulled Zhan Ge to go outside.
"These people don't get oil and salt, and if this continues, we don't have any useful evidence at all." She paced back and forth irritably, and things suddenly came to an impasse.
"Wait, they also rely on the fact that we need them now to dare to be so unscrupulous, I'll think about it."
They studied until the evening, and they didn't think of anything useful, and they didn't eat dinner in anger.
Phoenix knocked on the door and waited until there was movement inside before pushing the door inside.
"Why are you here?" Yan Wushuang turned his head to see that it was her, and hurriedly welcomed someone in.
"I heard that those mouths in the torture room are too tight?"
"Well, there's been no progress so far, anyway."
A hint of cunning flashed in the phoenix's eyes, and he took out a porcelain bottle from his arms and threw it on Yan Wu's hands: "Oh, this is an obedient medicine, as long as you take one pill, you can definitely make them honest." ”
"Ahh Phoenix, you are simply our lucky star! She jumped around the phoenix's neck excitedly.
No matter what happens, the phoenix can always come up with a medicine that will work for them.
She waved her hand, her face nonchalant: "As long as I can help you." ”
Zhan Ge couldn't wait, pulled Yan Wushuang and rushed to the torture room, walked straight to a person and stuffed the pill in.
The man lay on the ground retching twice, and in a moment his eyes went blank.
"Who told you to do such a thing?" Zhan Ge was afraid that asking too much detail would irritate him, so he asked vaguely first.
"Zhenbei Hou."
Yan Wu's eyes were full of excitement, and he immediately let people record it, Zhan Ge asked a few more questions, and the person answered them unconsciously.
The medicine given by Phoenix is really easy to use.
"With this confession, you will definitely be able to expose the true face of Zhenbei Hou."
Who knew that Zhan Ge shook his head: "This alone is not enough to be able to testify against him, and it may even be bitten back by him." ”
Zhan Ge saw that she was lost, and took the initiative to comfort her: "It's okay, we can collect other evidence, this is still useful." ”
Yan Wushuang sighed, and before he could say anything, he saw a familiar figure running towards him out of the corner of his eye.
"Princess, help me quickly, Qi Yan him, he's crazy." Qiu Ruo's eyes were full of tears, and the clothes on her body showed signs of being torn.
Zhan Ge and Yan Wushuang immediately got up and ran towards the small courtyard of the two of them, and before they could get closer, they heard a sound of smashing.
Qiu Ruo was so frightened that he trembled, and Zhan Ge stretched out his hand to stop them: "You two don't go in yet, it's too dangerous, go find the phoenix and come over." ”
Yan Wushuang pulled the worried Qiu Ruo and asked Zhan Ge to be careful.
Stepping into the courtyard, I saw Qi Yan lifting the bench high and smashing it down, and the chair was instantly torn apart.
He seemed to feel Zhan Ge's approach, and raised his head sharply, his eyes were red, and his hands were clawed towards him.
Zhan Ge dodged sideways, and slashed at his neck with the other hand, making a movement in unison, and lying on the ground softly.
The phoenix came quickly, Zhan Ge didn't move in unison, and stayed aside, Qiu Ruo cried weakly. Yan Wushuang could only comfort her beside her.
The phoenix stepped forward to investigate, his eyes were full of playfulness, and it took a long time to straighten up and clap his hands: "He's fine, it's just that he's faint, but just now I listened to the description of the prince, Qi Yan may have been controlled." ”
The others looked up at her in surprise, the phoenix shrugged, and asked people to send Qi Yan in first, and Qiu Ruo didn't worry about it, and there were only three of them in the courtyard.
"You said control, don't you ......," Zhan Ge asked tentatively.
"Well, I guess so, it's the first time I've heard of it, so I'm curious." Phoenix smiled slightly. This sudden incurable disease just aroused her sense of victory and defeat.
"This is when I go back to check the classics, there should be clues, as for Qi Yan, send more people to keep an eye on it."
Phoenix walked out thinking about the location of the archived tomes, and suddenly looked up and reminded them, "There should be someone who specializes in how to control corpses, you must be careful." ”
