Chapter 200: Suppressing Bandits (7)
On the same day, Hou Dingshan put down things and began to investigate the cause of Xu Chen's death, what he was most worried about was not because of the poor protection of the imperial court, but because there were really still rogues who had not been wiped out, if these rogues fled everywhere, it would be the most troublesome.
At first, because the other party didn't dare to make things too big, although there were rogues, but now it is different, these rogues are obviously disguised by Di Geluo's soldiers, and Hou Dingshan specially eliminated this group of people on the border between the two countries in order to deter Di Geluo, although there is nothing on the surface, but this secret beam is even knotted.
If these fish slipped through the net wreaked havoc everywhere in Daqi, there would be no peace everywhere.
Hou Dingshan immediately gathered all the soldiers who were in the barracks at that time, interrogated them one by one, and at the same time, he also sent troops to trace the Liukou, but none of the soldiers sent out found any trace of the Liukou.
Hou Dingshan knew that things were extraordinary, Hou Dingshan was at the scene when the bandits were suppressed, and the leader of the Liukou was subdued by Zhou Cang and Lu Lin together, although Hou Dingshan didn't recognize it, but if that person was an ordinary person, it was not worth Zhou Cang's action at all.
Digoro's land is limited, resources are limited, and the population is even more limited, and it is not easy to suddenly appear a character like this, such a character died in that battle, and there should be no one left to sneak attack the barracks.
Hou Dingshan was a little angry, and imprisoned all the soldiers, knowing that they were willing to tell the truth.
The heavy rain continued, and the imprisoned soldiers were also soaked in water all the time, even if it rained in the middle of summer, it would make people feel cool, not to mention that now, the heavy rain was pouring on their bodies, and several soldiers with thin bodies were quietly swinging.
Hou Dingshan also specially arranged for two people to go in among the detainees, anyway, not all of the Jinju army stayed in the barracks, and the people in the barracks at that time could not all know who was in the barracks at that time.
At the beginning, all the soldiers insisted that it was the rogue, but under the constant pressure of Hou Dingshan, finally some soldiers compromised, Xu Chen was greedy for life and afraid of death, how much stronger could the soldiers he led, the undercover agent arranged by Hou Dingshan saw that the time was almost up, and he directly pretended to be unbearable, saying that he wanted to tell the truth.
The adjutant walked up to the crowd with the knife he was carrying in one hand, and pointed to the soldiers who had spoken, "You guys, come with me." ”
The adjutant took those people into Hou Dingshan's tent and knelt on the ground, while Qiu Shuangliang sat quietly on the side, he knew that as long as these people were still in the army, they would not be able to hide from Hou Dingshan.
"What, are you telling the truth?"
"The general forgives the sin, the general forgives the sin, this matter has nothing to do with us, the people who assassinated the Prince of Jin were sent by the Queen Mother, and they were specially cultivated by the Queen Mother An organization called Shadow, which has nothing to do with us, please spare the general."
As soon as these words came out, the entire military tent was suddenly silent, I didn't expect this matter to get bigger and bigger, whether this matter is true or not, it will have a bad impact after all.
Hou Dingshan frowned, didn't say a word, glanced at Qiu Shuangliang, Qiu Shuangliang also looked at Hou Dingshan, silent, not knowing what he was thinking.
"General, spare your life, spare your life."
A trace of displeasure flashed on Hou Dingshan's face, and the adjutant knew that it was the noise of these people that affected the general's thinking and felt displeased, Hou Dingshan waved his hand and said angrily: "Take them down first." ”
Several soldiers yelled, and the adjutant didn't dare to leave them here, so he hurriedly took a few people down.
"Lord Wang, what do you think about this matter?" Hou Dingshan asked.
Hou Dingshan himself does not look down on Qiu Shuangliang, because of his father's blessing and occupies a prince, although he has an outstanding performance in this martial arts competition, but his brother Qiu Liangshuang has relied on his own ability to be on an equal footing.
"This matter seems to be strange everywhere in Shuangliang's opinion, since the general asked, then Shuangliang put forward his own opinion, the kid is clumsy, and asks the general to comment on one or two."
"Assassinate the Prince of Jin and blame it on the Liukou, all this plan was obviously thought out in advance, but these soldiers are in the army, this is really a situation that must not be hidden from the general, this should be easy to think of, the plan is so thorough, it may have even been deployed before the Prince of Jin came, but it missed this link, it seems that the other party is deliberately faking the name of the Liukou, in fact, it means to blame the Prince of Jin."
"Prior to this, the assassination of Prince Chu and Prince Qi, the previous statement was also attacked by rogues and the like, once the matter of Prince Jin came out, the previous statement was self-defeating, and all of them will be concentrated on the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother will remove the threat for the emperor, which is also reasonable."
"But it's strange here, in our opinion, this matter is obviously to slander the Queen Mother, but this world is all the emperor, and the Queen Mother is the lifeblood of the southern economy, who has the ability and courage to slander the Queen Mother?"
"King Weiyuan is right, this matter needs to be further investigated, and General Ben can only say that it is difficult to achieve results in the end, and the people involved in it are not something we can participate in, this point, with the wisdom of King Weiyuan, General Ben thinks you should be able to understand."
Hou Dingshan looked at the autumn frost and cold, without a little expression on his face.
"General Xie taught, this frost is naturally known." Qiu Shuangliang stood up, saluted, and said, "By the way, the princess doesn't know if she's awake, so Shuangliang will leave first and won't disturb the general." ”
"Hmm."
Autumn Frost came out of the military tent, and the adjutant walked in.
"General."
"This martial arts competition is hastily over, the leader of this martial arts competition will be given to Lu Lin, those who kill the rogues will be rewarded to them, and then this will be done, and then this group of martial artists can be dismissed, you can't let them stay in this Yongqin Prefecture all the time, the number of 30,000 people, if there is still a muddy water here, maybe, the next person to be assassinated will be you and me."
Lu Lin's performance is indeed what everyone has seen, and Zhou Cang's performance is no worse than Lu Lin, but after all, Zhou Cang has not gone through the selection competition, so it is not in accordance with the rules, besides, Zhou Cang's identity really doesn't care about this leader, anyway, this competition is also held to solve the problem of Liukou hastily, and it is not official.
"Ahh Yes, lowly commanded! ”
Hou Dingshan's words really startled the adjutant, and he hurriedly went out of the barracks to learn about the competition.
Hou Dingshan stood up, rules, or this word, the gathering of 30,000 people from the rivers and lakes will definitely attract the attention of the imperial court, but this time he didn't hear any news from the imperial court, it seems that he deliberately made the man in a state of muddy water, and the result of this troubled water is to make something appear without causing abnormalities, for example, the assassination of Prince Jin.
