Chapter XIX
"Isn't it normal for the queen mother to agree to his sideshow entering the palace and laughing? What's so strange about that? Song Qi disagreed.
"Besides, there are so many relatives of the queen mother's own family at the scene, he relies on this, first, to please those uncles, and second, to show his father's honor and favor for him, so that more people support him, he thinks that if he can ascend the throne in the future, these royal relatives of the queen mother will at least not object." Finally, Song Qi also analyzed.
Song Yu said: "I know what you said. But this is not what Hongu wants to say, but the smile of King Shin is very strange. β
Song Qi was amused: "Shouldn't you laugh, should you cry?" β
"Can you be serious?" Song Yu said a little angrily, "It stands to reason that if your idea is agreed, it will generally be manifested as the kind of ecstasy that can't be suppressed, but the third brother of this palace is snickering at what kind of plan succeeds, this palace feels that this acrobatic troupe must not be simple." β
"Everyone looks different when they are happy, but you are too sensitive." Song Qi didn't agree very much.
Song Yu shook his head and said: "The intuition of this palace tells each other, things are not so simple. β
Song Qi yawned: "It's almost, Brother Huang, you better rest early." β
"This palace is not sleepy, otherwise we will talk more." Song Yu is very energetic.
"You're not sleepy, I'm sleepy!" Song Qi decisively refused, "I'm tired today, I'll go back to Huicheng Palace first." β
Song Yu was speechless for a while, and then waved his hand impatiently: "Let's go, let's go." β
"Brother Xie Huang gave him a bed." Song Qi pretended to bow to Song Yu's forked hand, and then swaggered away.
"This stupid brother." Song Yu shook his head helplessly.
Eastern Capital, East City, Jingkangfang, Tiwei Mansion, Zichu
In the dungeon of Tiwei Mansion, there are four major cells: A, B, C, and D, and in this order, they are divided into state criminals who endanger Dachu, important criminals who commit heinous crimes, evil criminals who commit heinous crimes, and ordinary criminals.
Like Wang Tian and the other three black-clothed people, who broke into the interior of the Tiwei Mansion as other people's secret piles, spying on intelligence, leaking secrets, plotting against others, and endangering the imperial city, they were naturally attributed to the criminals of the country. The three assassins who dared to kill people in the streets also belonged to this.
At this time, Sun Ming and the guards who were captured by the patrol team were put in a first-class cell, they were one person in a cell, and they were all copper walls and iron walls, five meters deep, and their limbs were firmly locked by iron chains, and they couldn't move at all. Wang Tian was the only one who was seriously injured and was temporarily detained in a relatively ordinary and more treatable cell, but he was also guarded.
Xiao Chongguang, Lu Yunsheng, and the four relatives jumped into the dungeon where Sun Ming was held, and the three guards hurriedly bowed and saluted.
Seeing that the diligent old brothers had become enemies overnight, everyone at the scene had mixed feelings.
"How did you find out about me?" Sun Ming didn't dare to look at Xiao Chongguang, and turned his face to the other side.
Xiao Chongguang said: "I didn't find your whereabouts, I just followed the route that the dark pile might take, and laid an ambush in advance." β
"And how did you know I was going out tonight?" Sun Ming slowly shifted his gaze to Sogo.
"Because, I specifically told you that we might go to Liang Xiang or the prince for help." Xiao Chongguang smiled slightly.
Sun Ming squinted his eyes slightly and said, "It turns out that you have long suspected your own interior. β
"Yes, I've been suspicious since the last murder." Xiao Chongguang stared at Sun Ming like an eagle.
Sun Ming said with a gloomy expression: "How do you doubt us? β
Lu Yunsheng said: "Because, we have checked the duty book, the halls near the inner hall in the past few days are all in charge of the three of you, and I have also asked other brothers, sometimes it is not your turn, and you actually have to go to change the guard with the brothers who were originally on duty, if it weren't for the forced personnel transfer between me and Xiao Weichang today, I'm afraid you would still rush to be on duty as usual." And during the day, with all kinds of reasons, we go out frequently, do you think that Xiao Weichang and I will not pay attention to these things when we are busy all day long. β
"Then you trust these people around you?" Sun Ming looked at the guards beside Sogo and Yunsheng.
"They are all brothers who have been with us for more than five years, and they know the roots, and many of them were brought by Brother Xiao from the barracks he withdrew, not only them, but also the patrol team tonight." Lu Yunsheng hugged his chest and said.
Xiao Chongguang said: "Don't you think tonight's deployment is very strange? Those who go out on errands are basically senior guards. β
Sun Ming's eyes rolled, he suddenly woke up, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "I should have thought of this a long time ago." β
"It's not that you didn't expect it, but you have important information, if you don't send it out in time, I'm afraid it will delay the opportunity," Xiao Chongguang said in a deep voice, "I don't know that this is false information, and I have to drill into it." β
Sun Ming laughed miserably: "It's worthy of Xiao Tou, in fact, I also thought that sooner or later there would be such a day." β
Xiao Chongguang said sharply: "Say! Who you really are! Objective! Who's your connector! To whom to pass the information! Explain them to me one by one! β
Sun Ming smiled bitterly: "Xiao Tou, don't waste your strength, I won't say it." β
Xiao Chongguang said with a gloomy face: "You won't be ignorant of our means of defending the Mansion. β
"I've seen it with my own eyes." Sun Ming nodded lightly.
"Then I advise you, it's best to confess honestly, avoid the pain of flesh and skin, and if you behave well, I can still tell God to hear and reduce the punishment." Xiao Chongguang tried to persuade him.
Sun Ming raised his head and said, "If you have any means, use them." β
Xiao Chongguang saw that no matter what he said, he waved his hand and said, "Let's execute." β
After that, he turned around and left with Lu Yunsheng and the others, leaving the three executioners to prepare the torture tools.
As soon as they left the cell, one of the guards hurried over and said, "Yu Xiaotou and Lu Tou, the spies who were caught by the patrol team, crying and shouting to see the two guard commanders. β
"Got it, lead the way." Xiao Chongguang nodded.
"Whoa."
Following the guard, everyone came to the leftmost A dungeon, only to see that the arrested secret stake was also the same as Sun Ming, locked up to the truth, Lu Yunsheng recognized it at a glance, it was Jiang Lu, who was usually the most timid and afraid of things.
Jiang Lu looked up and saw Xiao and Lu, and shouted as if he saw a savior: "The two adults let me go!" I'll say everything! I'll say everything! β
Yun Sheng sneered in his heart, this guy, at least his nature is not pretending.
Xiao Chongguang said coldly: "If you know anything, say it quickly, if the answer satisfies me, I will let you go." β
Jiang Lu said repeatedly: "Okay, good, I will definitely say." I'll admit that I was sent by Liang Xiang. β
"What? You are Liang Xiang's person. Xiao Chongguang frowned.
"Yes, to be precise, I was sent by Lord Yu under Liang Xiang's account."
"Which Lord Yu?" Xiao Chongguang continued to ask.
Jiang Lu said: "It's Zuo Cheng, the secretary of the Ministry of War, Lord Yu Jinyuan." β
As soon as Xiao Chongguang heard the name, he remembered: "Oh, it's that black-faced scholar Yu Jinyuan." β
That Yu Jinyuan was born with dark skin, like a soldier in a war, but he was a scholar, not only knowledgeable, but also broad-minded, at the age of twenty he was admitted to the Jinshi, a sensation, just because his appearance disgusted the selection officer, so he has been an official for so many years, and he only mixed with the Shangshu Zuo Cheng from the fourth grade. Because of this, his reputation as a black-faced scholar spread.
He was conceited of his talent, and he was unwilling to stop at Congsipin, so he joined Liang Xiang with his boss Xue Changqing, hoping to use the prime minister to make him ascend to the sky in one step. According to his thoughts, he should also be a member of the second grade.
"Damn the black skin, he actually reached out to our Tiwei Mansion, I really want to peel off his skin and clean it well!" Lu Yunsheng said viciously.
Xiao Chongguang said expressionlessly: "I know what Yu Heipi sent you for, I can release you now, you go back and tell your boss, just say, what to do, we naturally know that we don't need outsiders to supervise." Did you write it down? β
Jiang Lu nodded again and again: "Write it down, write it down." β
Xiao Chongguang waved his hand, and the big man who was guarding stepped forward and untied the chains, Jiang Lu quickly stepped forward and said, "Thank you, sir." β
Sogo didn't look at him and said, "Don't let me see you again in the future, get out." β
"Yes, yes, yes."
With that, he walked out of the cell under the guidance of the guard, and then walked out. Xiao Chongguang and Lu Yunsheng also came out of the dungeon.
"Brother Xiao, there is something I forgot to tell you," Yun Sheng said as he thought of something.
"What's wrong?"
Yunsheng said: "When I went to stop that dark stake Wang Tian, he stubbornly resisted, and I personally took action and found that Wang Tian was using the martial arts of the Pomegranate Flower Sect. β
"Pomegranate pie? Aren't they not accepting male disciples? β
Xiao Chongguang was also very surprised when he heard this.
Lu Yunsheng touched his chin and said, "I suspect that someone from the Pomegranate Sect has secretly passed on the martial arts of this sect. β
"This is a clue that must be investigated. Oh, by the way," Xiao Chongguang suddenly remembered something, "and that Haijiao sect is also very suspicious, so you send a few reliable brothers to Qingzhou and Yangzhou respectively to investigate these two sects." β
"Got it, I'll arrange it right away." Lu Yunsheng nodded in agreement.
Xiao Chongguang said: "How is that Wang Tian?" β
Lu Yunsheng waved his hand and said, "He can't die, the house doctor has already helped him stop the bleeding." β
"That's good, you must keep a close watch over these peopleΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·"
"Oh no, Captain Wei!"
Before Xiao Chongguang finished speaking, a guard hurried over and shouted loudly.
Xiao Chongguang said sharply: "What are you doing!" What is the system of shouting like this? What I was about to say was interrupted by you. β
Natiwei gasped and said, "Wei Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· Captain Wei, no, the three assassins who were captured during the day bit their tongues and killed themselves. β
"What!"
Xiao Chongguang and Lu Yunsheng were both taken aback, and hurriedly rushed to the cell where the three assassins were kept, and when they were about to approach, they stopped again, because they saw that the big man who was guarding the assassin had already dragged the assassin's body out, and when they walked over to take a closer look, they saw that the assassin's mouth was full of blood, his face was pale, and he had been dead for a long time.
