Chapter 397: The Man Behind the Scenes

Chen Jisheng laughed, the master in front of him was obviously an understanding person, and he knew that he would definitely die. In order to avoid the unnecessary pain of flesh and skin, he simply made the words clear.

"You're a smart man, and it's a wise choice for you and me. Now tell me who you really are, shall we? Chen Jisheng's face was full of playfulness, and he was quite interested in the master in front of him.

The master raised his eyes and glanced at Chen Jisheng, and opened his mouth to say: "I am the secret guard next to the emperor, and in Qiantang County, I am responsible for supervising the county decree and collecting any news, and reporting to the emperor." ”

When the county magistrate heard this, he immediately gasped, and he suddenly realized that there had been a bomb next to him that would explode at any time. Fortunately, he is obviously greedy for money but has never shown disloyalty to Chongzhen, perhaps this is the key to his ability to stay here all the time.

Chen Jisheng was not surprised, it seemed that the master said that he was the secret guard next to the emperor to meet his conjecture. Chen Jisheng was silent for a moment before continuing to ask: "As far as I know, you are single-handedly handling the persecution of the Mao clan this time, right?" ”

The master hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded and admitted: "That's right, including the idea of suggesting that the Mo Mao clan is greedy for money, I took the initiative to put forward it. ”

"Why? Do you have a grudge against the Mao family? Chen Jisheng was a little puzzled.

The master shook his head: "We don't have any grudges between us, and we will do this, in fact, it is also on the orders of the emperor." ”

Chen Jisheng was slightly stunned: "On the orders of the emperor, why did Chongzhen treat the Mao family like this?" ”

The master sneered: "It's very simple, the emperor needs money, and the Mao family just happened to be taken a fancy to." In fact, the Mao family has fallen to such a point today, and they can only blame them for not knowing each other. If they had taken the initiative to donate all their property after Mao Wenlong's accident, they would not have ended up where they are today. ”

After Chen Jisheng listened to the explanation, he suddenly came to his senses, it turned out that it was Chongzhen who had been driving the Mao clan to a dead end. He turned to look at Mao Bowu, who was resting on the side behind him, who would have been completely stunned, and then he realized that the mastermind behind the scenes turned out to be the current emperor.

Seeing Mao Bowu's dejected appearance, Chen Jisheng sighed lightly and ordered someone to help Mao Bowu down to rest. Since things have risen to this level, it is not for Mao Bowu to make a decision.

Chen Jisheng ordered someone to invite Mao Wenlong over, but now he can't make a decision.

Mao Wenlong soon returned, and he was also quite surprised when he heard that Chongzhen was the mastermind behind the Mao clan to this point.

"What you say is true?" Mao Wenlong asked in a deep voice.

The master was obviously already holding the intention of dying, he ignored Mao Wenlong's questioning, and didn't even glance at Mao Wenlong.

Mao Wenlong didn't care about this, and continued: "Do you have any last words or something to say? ”

The master suddenly laughed in a dark voice: "Our secret guard has already arranged the aftermath from the moment he came out to carry out the mission, so you don't have to worry about it." ”

Mao Wenlong shook his head and said, "You think I'm going to kill you." ”

The master let out a sneer: "Isn't it? ”

Mao Wenlong replied: "What is the difference between killing you and not killing you." ”

There was silence in the cell, and Mao Wenlong pondered while Watanabe, the black hand that was unfavorable to the Mao clan was Chongzhen, and the two people in front of him were just executors. Killing them doesn't mean it's over.

The suffering suffered by the Mao family, Mao Wenlong didn't want to let go of it like this, and this account would naturally have to be settled with Chongzhen slowly in the future.

Mao Wenlong made a decision in his heart, he stopped, and said coldly: "You go back and tell Chongzhen that the suffering of the Mao clan today will definitely ask him to repay it in the future." ”

Chen Jisheng frowned and hesitated, but still stepped forward and said, "Chief soldier, you can't let him go." ”

Mao Wenlong shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter, immediately let him out of Qiantang County and give him a horse." ”

Chen Jisheng wanted to persuade him again, but Mao Wenlong began to get impatient and waved his hand again and again to ask him to do it. Chen Jisheng had no choice but to act according to his orders, and asked the two guards to simply bandage the master who had broken a hand and take it down.

Mao Wenlong then looked back at the county order with a dead face, and said coldly to Chen Jisheng: "Drag it out and cut off his head, give his dog head to the fourth uncle, and use the head of this dog official to pay tribute to the dead clansmen of my Mao clan first." ”

"Yes!"

Chen Jisheng was very simple this time, and immediately complied, carrying the saber that still had undried bloodstains, and leaving the cell with the county order that had passed out in a cruel laugh.

As soon as Mao Wenlong left the cell, he met Chen Lan and Hong Ziyan who were waiting at the gate. Behind the two girls, there are also the big girls and little girls who are recognized as goddaughters.

"What's the matter with you, why are you waiting here?" Mao Wenlong was slightly surprised.

"Xianggong, the big girl and the little girl are in a hurry to ask you for something, so I have to bring them over to see you." Chen Lan pushed the big girl and the little girl in front of Mao Wenlong together.

The big girl and the little girl didn't wait for Mao Wenlong to speak, and the two suddenly knelt on the ground: "Godfather, please save the clansmen." ”

Mao Wenlong frowned, he didn't like the rule of kneeling at every turn, he stretched out his hand to pull the two thin little girls up, Mao Wenlong coldly warned: "You can come to me for anything in the future, my godfather will definitely make the decision for you, but you must remember that as a member of my Mao clan, you must not kneel down easily." ”

The big girl and the little girl obviously didn't understand what Mao Wenlong meant, but seeing Mao Wenlong's serious face, the two didn't dare to make a mistake, and nodded their heads and said that they would not kneel down at every turn in the future.

Mao Wenlong could see from the demeanor of the two that the two girls hadn't understood what they meant, but they couldn't say it clearly for a while, so they had to give up.

"What do you mean by being a clansman?" Now that the clansmen have gathered together, these two girls still said this, Mao Wenlong was suddenly a little confused.

"Godfather, we still have some clansmen who are slaves and maidservants in the big families in the city, please godfather redeem them too." The big girl almost knelt down again, but was glared at fiercely by Mao Wenlong, so she gave up.

"Do you know that there are still clansmen in the city?" Mao Wenlong asked softly.

"Godfather, yes, we know that there are three younger sisters who are enslaved in the big family's house in the west of the city, and they were all arrested by the officers and soldiers not long ago and sold to the big family's family." The big girl obviously knows something, and she is quite sure.

"Then what are you waiting for, go now." Mao Wenlong said briskly.
