Chapter 612: Confrontation (2nd Update)
But what Mao Sui never expected was that he had just walked out of the dungeon when he saw a scene that he had completely unexpected in advance.
Several corpses were neatly placed in the courtyard of the Guardian Headquarters, although they were all dressed in civilian clothes, but Mao Sui recognized them at a glance - all of them were his subordinates who were sent to monitor Guo Kai.
There were already many guards around these corpses, and after seeing Mao Sui coming, they consciously moved out of the way.
Mao then walked to the corpses and squatted down, and found that these corpses all had distorted faces and numerous wounds on their bodies, apparently suffering great pain before they died.
"What's going on?" Mao Sui's words were as cold as a winter snowstorm.
A small leader of the guards whispered, "Chief, a carriage passed through the gate, and these corpses were thrown from the carriage. ”
"Where's the carriage?"
"It's still being investigated."
"Bastard thing!" Mao Sui was furious when he heard this, and shouted: "In broad daylight, you can't even catch a carriage? ”
No one answered.
Mao Sui looked at the subordinates around him who were silent, and his heart was even more angry.
Slap in the face, this is a naked slap in the face.
It has only been a few days since someone was sent to monitor Guo Kai, and then these spies who monitored Guo Kai and the important people of the Guo family were all dead, and the bodies were all thrown at the door of the headquarters of the guard!
It's bearable, it's unbearable.
Mao Sui took a deep breath, and said word by word to the leaders of the surrounding guards: "This chief will enter the palace to ask the king for guilt, if you can't find some clues before the chief comes back, then you don't have to explain to the chief manager, think about how to explain to the king!" ”
After saying this, Mao Sui stood up and walked straight away.
Longtai.
Zhao Dan looked at the confession submitted by Mao Sui, and the expression on his face still looked quite calm, but his heart had already set off turbulent waves.
"Are these confessions true?" Zhao Dan asked slowly.
Mao Sui said respectfully: "Back to the king, these confessions are repeatedly interrogated and compared by the ministers, and the ministers dare to guarantee that there is no falsehood!" ”
Zhao Dan let out a sigh of relief and was silent.
If what these confessions say is true, then the guard has been infiltrated like a sieve, and there are few secrets to some people!
In the confession, it is not difficult to see that Guo Kai and the Guo family have actually done a lot of illegal things in the past few years, but these things have been secretly eliminated after the union of some people in the supervision and guard, and they have not been reported to Mao Sui, the deputy manager, and naturally they will not be known by Zhao Dan.
An organization that was supposed to spy on the official class was now infiltrated by the official class organization?
You must know that the guard originally existed as Zhao Dan's secret eyes and ears, and now if these eyes and ears are controlled by others, then it will be easy for these guys to play any tricks to deceive and conceal them.
Now it is found out that there is only one Guo family, and God knows if there are any Li families, Zhang families, and Chen families.
How can this work?
Anger gradually rose in Zhao Dan's heart.
It seems that this inspector is indeed going to be reorganized.
Lao Mixian's loyalty is enough, but when it comes to the ability to organize this kind of secret service, it is obviously still too lacking.
Mao Sui saw that Zhao Dan was silent, and hurriedly said again: "King, in fact, there is one more thing, before the minister left the supervision and guard headquarters today, he found that those spies who were originally sent to monitor the Guo family were all killed!" ”
"What?" Zhao Dan's eyes widened suddenly, with a surprised expression on his face, and then he slapped the table in front of him heavily.
"It's bold! Mao Sui, can you find out who it is? ”
Mao Sui bowed his head and said: "Back to the king, the incident happened in a hurry, and the ministers are still under investigation." However, Chen felt that since these spies were killed when they were spying on the Guo family, then this matter must be inseparable from the Guo family! ”
Zhao Dan nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Mao Sui, since you already have evidence, then you will immediately go and arrest that Guo Kai and start interrogation!" By the way, I will send people to follow these confessions to search for evidence in various Guo family stores, and once all the evidence is complete, the case will be immediately transferred to Si Kou's subordinate for interrogation! ”
"Whoa!" Mao Sui shouted his order.
Looking at Mao Sui's departing figure, Zhao Dan was thoughtful, and after a while, he said: "Someone is coming, pass on the general Xu Li, and the eunuch Ling Mixian!" ”
An hour later, a large number of guards suddenly dispatched to surround the Guo Mansion in Handan.
As a wealthy family in Handan City, there are also many doormen in Guofu, and these doormen are quite fierce, standing on the door wall in full armor, and confronting the guards.
Mao Sui looked at the closed door in front of him, and then looked at the hundreds of vicious-looking Guo Mansion doormen on the door wall, and couldn't help showing a sneer on his face, and raised his voice: "I am Mao Sui, the deputy head of the supervision guard, and I am ordered by the king to arrest Guo Kai and bring him to justice, if Guo Kai does not appear within a pillar of incense, then I will not blame my subordinates for being merciless!" ”
Time passed minute by minute, and the time for a pillar of incense was gradually coming.
Suddenly, a man who looked quite rich appeared on the courtyard wall, it was Guo Kai himself.
I saw Guo Kaipi arching his hand at Mao Sui with a smile, and said: "Deputy General Manager Mao Sui, the supervision guard has the responsibility of monitoring hundreds of officials, but he is just a businessman, but he doesn't know why he offended the deputy chief manager, and he wants to use such a big battle to ask me for it?" ”
Mao Sui snorted and said, "Hugh must be noisy and open the door quickly, otherwise you will be a mistake!" ”
Guo Kai shook his head and said: "Deputy Chief Mao Sui, as the so-called state-owned national law, if a certain person violates the law, it should also be arrested and questioned by Si Kou's belonging." You are not the duty of the inspector and the guard but you are blatantly arresting people, do you really think that the inspector can cover the sky with one hand? ”
Mao Sui laughed angrily and said, "Guo Kai, it seems that you really plan to resist to the end?" ”
Guo Kai shook his head and said: "It's not that Guo Kai is unwilling to cooperate, it's really a chaotic life that can't be beared, the deputy manager, please go back." ”
Mao Sui's face was like frost, and he no longer spoke to Guo Kai, but turned his head to the guards around him and ordered, "Prepare to attack!" ”
Under Mao Sui's order, many guards immediately raised their swords in their hands.
On the other side, many doormen on the wall of the Guo family also raised their weapons.
The battle is on the verge of breaking out.
At this moment, a rush of horses' hooves accompanied by dense footsteps suddenly sounded.
Immediately after, a loud shout rang out.
"Mao Sui, who gave you the courage to openly use force in broad daylight, intending to arrest the good citizens of the country?"
Everyone turned their heads to take a look, and they found that it was none other than Zhao Bao, the important minister of Zhao Guo and the Pingyang Jun who held the position of Sikou.
It's not just Zhao Bao, just behind Zhao Bao is also followed by a large number of Si Kou's subordinate officers, the number of these officers adds up to at least several hundred, which is not inferior to the many guards under Mao Sui's command.
When Guo Kai saw Zhao Bao coming, the whole person was overjoyed, and hurriedly shouted: "The good sect Si Kou learned that this Mao Sui ignored the national law and tried to arrest me, and asked Si Kou to arbitrate!" ”
Zhao Bao snorted coldly and said, "Don't be impatient, I want to see today, who dares to openly arrest people without an order issued by me!" ”
Mao Sui had a little ominous premonition in his heart when he saw Zhao Bao appear, and after hearing Zhao Bao's words, he knew that things were not good.
Obviously, this Zhao Bao is here to find trouble.
Mao Sui knew very well in his heart that Zhao Bao had always complained about the supervision and protection of the organization, and even once said in front of the king that he hoped to cancel the supervision and guard, but in the end it was unsuccessful.
To be honest, when facing Zhao Bao's menacing questioning, Mao Sui was still a little stunned in his heart.
After all, Zhao Bao's identity and status are here, and there are only a few people in Zhao Guo who are qualified to sit on an equal footing with him.
But the matter has come to this, in front of hundreds of subordinates, it is obviously impossible for Mao Sui to choose to back down.
If he really backs down this time, then Mao Sui's prestige among the inspectors will be completely over, and the deputy head of the inspectors will be completely gone.
So Mao Sui arched his hand towards Zhao Bao, and said in a deep voice: "Pingyangjun, I am on the order of the king, I want to bring Guo Kai back to the supervision guard to ask, and please Pingyangjun not interfere in the affairs of the supervision guard!" ”
"By order of the King?" Zhao Bao glanced at Mao Sui up and down a few times, and then let out a cold snort with his nostrils, and said: "Mao Sui, don't think that I don't know, this person is just a lucky person who specializes in framing Zhongliang, if I let you succeed today, it will be another unjust case!" ”
"Unjust?" was reprimanded by Zhao Bao in person, the anger in Mao Sui's heart also rose, and he sneered: "Pingyang Jun doesn't know, several secret sentinels of the supervision guard suddenly died outside the Guo Mansion today, if this matter has nothing to do with Guo Kai, presumably Pingyang Jun himself doesn't believe it?" If I take Guo Kai back, I will naturally interrogate carefully and not let go of any details, how can there be an unjust case? ”
Zhao Bao snorted and said, "The murder case was originally under the jurisdiction of Wu Sikou, since the murder case occurred, why didn't you report it to the official quickly, but instead gathered a large number of people to besiege other people's mansions?" This matter is not in accordance with the law at all! Quickly take your subordinates and retreat to me, otherwise, don't blame my subordinates for being ruthless! ”
As soon as Zhao Bao's voice fell, many of the servants behind him stepped forward in unison, assuming a posture that was about to start attacking.
Mao Sui's face was cloudy, and he said to Zhao Bao: "Pingyang Jun, are you really going to fight against the king's order?" ”
A sneer appeared at the corner of Zhao Bao's mouth, and said: "Mao Sui, you deceived the king, I want to expose your true face today!" ”
The atmosphere suddenly became extremely tense, and the two sides were tense, and it seemed that they might misfire at any time.
Mao Sui hesitated in his heart, this Zhao Bao is the prince of Zhao State, and he is a feudal monarch and a minister, do you really want to fight with him here today?
At this moment, another dense sound of horses' hooves sounded.
A large number of heavily armed soldiers of Zhao appeared in the streets, surrounding Mao Sui and Zhao Bao and everyone under their command.
A general in silver helmet and silver armor appeared in everyone's sight, this general was none other than Xu Li, the guard captain in charge of the security of the entire Handan City.
I saw Xu Li holding an edict in his hand, and said loudly: "The king has an order, and the supervision guard will bring Guo Kai back for questioning, and no one can stop him!" ”
After finishing speaking, Xu Li also specially arched his hand towards Zhao Bao, and said: "Pingyangjun, I am also acting on orders, and I also ask Pingyangjun not to make it difficult for me." ”
Zhao Bao snorted and did not speak.
Mao Sui on the other side was overjoyed, and waved his hand decisively: "Come on, enter the house immediately to search!" ”
The king's order has arrived, and a large number of soldiers are watching from the sidelines, no matter how ugly Zhao Bao's face is, he can no longer stop the footsteps of the guards.
The gates of Guo's mansion were opened, and a large number of guards swarmed in and launched a major search.
A moment later, a completely unexpected answer was reported to Mao Sui.
"What, Guo Kai escaped?"
