Chapter 1002: A Long Night

"Quick! Fast! ”

Hu Hu ran desperately, the cold wind swept past his ears and face, but his heart became colder and colder, and the fire became bigger and bigger.

Like a gust of wind, Hu Hu rushed into the entrance of the village and rushed to the Peng family compound.

At this moment, the Peng family's compound was already shrouded in a sea of fire, and the two sides who were fighting fiercely were forced to retreat more than ten meters by the raging flames, and everyone was worried that the fire would spread to their side, and the movements under their hands were much slower.

"Stop!"

Hu Hu rushed over and shouted.

The two sides stopped, and the commander of the special operations battalion, Lian Zhanbo, hurriedly rushed over: "My lord, why are you here?" ”

Hu Hui nodded slightly, and then gave an order: "Get on the crossbow arrows and end the battle quickly!" ”

"Yes!"

In an instant, the sound of "whooshing" sounded, and the bandits fell to the ground one after another, but some of the ferocious bandits saw that the situation was not good, and turned around and ran back, throwing themselves into the flames......

"Take the prisoners and exit Pengjia Village immediately!"

Hu Hui's order was very timely, and when the special operations battalion retreated, flames also broke out around the village, and the fires quickly joined together, and the entire Pengjiazhuang turned into a sea of fire.

Listening to the screams and cries in the sea of fire, Hu Hui's heart was like a knife, but there was no way, the power of water and fire was beyond the power of human power.

Hu Hui, Xie Jingyang and others could only stand outside the village and watch Pengjiazhuang turn into ashes.

According to later statistics, more than 120 people were killed in the Pengjiazhuang fire, including more than 30 children, and the rest were mostly elderly people and women, while nearly 30 people from the besieging special operations battalion and the elite of the Investigation Department were killed in the fire, far exceeding the number of people killed in the battle - six.

The fire burned strangely and burned.

Xie Jingyang immediately sent people to search around, and there must be remnants of the White Lotus Sect around.

Hu Hu stood in the cold wind and shivered: "White Lotus Sect! You bastards, I won't kill you all, and you won't be anyone! ”

Hu Hui's shouts were extremely terrible, causing the White Lotus Sect disciples around them to shudder, and the people who interrogated them immediately increased their strength, and in the wilderness, the screams became even louder.

......

"My lord, the interrogation situation is not ideal, there is not much useful information!"

"What's going on?"

"These people are all members of the bottom of the White Lotus Sect, and they haven't been here for a long time, tonight, the housekeeper said that the master of the main altar will give them a banquet and let them carnival all night, and they will eat and drink happily, and then, we will come."

"What about the butler?"

"It looks like he was burned to death, no one saw him anyway!"

"What about the others? What about Peng Qiandu and Zhao Pengxiang? ”

"On the fourteenth, they still showed up in the village, but since this morning, no one has seen them again!"

Hu Hu was silent for a while: "Is there anything else?" ”

"And ......" Xie Jingyang rubbed his brows: "What's more, these captives said that the housekeeper told them privately that they would leave Pengjiazhuang tomorrow morning!" ”

"Tomorrow? Leave? Where to go? ”

"The housekeeper didn't say anything!"

What's going on?

How did Peng Qiandu and those people escape? Is there a mole, and the other party got the news in advance? Impossible! This time he came to Pengjiazhuang, Hu Hu only brought people from the Investigation Department and the special operations battalion, not to mention the local government, and even the local Investigation Department did not inform it, so the possibility of leaking secrets is very small.

But it may not be, Hu Hu decided to conduct a screening of his subordinates, after all, this kind of thing has not happened before.

But there is another possibility, although it is unlikely, Hu Hu has a flash of inspiration in his mind, that is, Peng Qiandu originally planned to give up Pengjiazhuang, it may be because of the fall of the Jiangbei White Lotus Sect, which made his heart palpitate.

But how did these people escape?

Hu Hu thought for a long time, and suddenly came back to his senses, he looked in the direction of Suzhou City, and said hatefully: "I understand, these people are mixed with the villagers who left the village during the day, no wonder he is willing to pay for the villagers to go to Suzhou City to watch the lanterns!" ”

"Oh, it must be so," Xie Jingyang suddenly realized: "This Peng Qiandu is really cunning!" ”

After sighing, Xie Jingyang looked at the fire and said regretfully: "It's a pity, we're one step slower!" If you want to catch them in the future, it will be difficult! ”

"yes!"

Hu Hu was silent for a while, then gritted his teeth: "The responsibility for this failure lies with me, and I want to write a letter to ask for guilt!" In addition, Lord Xie immediately sent someone to report the situation to His Majesty, and Peng Ziyun and Liu Qingyin must be caught. ”

“...... Well! Good! Xie Jingyang smiled bitterly: "I hope everything goes well!" ”

......

"My lord, Peng Ziyun has caught it!"

"Oh?"

Wan Zicheng turned around, looked at the two people who were tied up with five flowers, and said with a smile: "Master Peng Shaotan, He Protector, it's been a long time!" ”

"Phew!"

He Lao flew towards Wan Zicheng with a mouthful of saliva, but unfortunately he was seriously injured, and the distance was too far, and the saliva fell far away from Wan Zicheng.

The soldiers around him were furious and immediately punched and kicked him, although He Lao broke his arm and suffered many injuries, he gritted his teeth and did not say a word.

"Forget it!"

Wan Zicheng waved his hand: "Take it down, take care of it!" ”

"Yes!"

"Peng Ziyun, come and take a look, this is the biggest lantern tonight!"

Peng Ziyun was pushed and shoved, came to the river, looked at the fireboat in the river, with tears in his eyes, and was silent.

"Peng Ziyun, your wife is really talented, last time she assassinated His Majesty, she burned the ship once, and this time she burned the boat again, but this time she didn't want to run away again."

"It's not been a day or two that the official has been staring at you, so the fishing nets, water ghosts, harpoons, etc. are properly prepared, and they have no chance to escape at all."

"But you set the fire quite fast, can you tell me how the official did it?"

"Why am I telling you? If it falls into your hands, it's a big deal to die! ”

"Really?"

Wan Zicheng suddenly laughed, he glanced back at Peng Ziyun, who had a rebellious face, looked at his eyes carefully, and suddenly said, "You don't seem to be worried about your wife at all!" ”

"Ahh

Wan Zicheng circled around him twice, sneered twice, and then summoned his subordinates to search the neighborhood closely, he suspected that Liu Qingyin had run away, so Peng Ziyun was so calm?

The fire first started from Liu Qingyin's boat, but when the patrol boat surrounded it, several other ships also caught fire one after another, and the patrol boat had to stay away, cast fishing nets, and lay water ghosts to prevent people from jumping into the water to escape.

It's just that to the surprise of the Ming army, there are not many people who escaped by diving, and later counted, only eight people, and more than 20 burned corpses.

This shocked Wan Zicheng very much, it is impossible for there to be only such a few people on the five flower boats, where did the others go?

Wan Zicheng tossed until dawn, then handed over the matter to his subordinates, and rushed to the palace to report to the emperor.

......

When Wan Zicheng arrested Peng Ziyun, Emperor Zhu Yunwen and his ministers discussed the matter of Juekong in the Qianqing Palace, Juekong, as the former Great Khan of Mongolia, had a certain prestige among the Mongols, and if his death could not be justified, it would have an adverse impact on the next Mongolian strategy of the imperial court.

For a time, there were different opinions.

The first argument is first proposed, that is, to respect the facts, and announce to the public that Jueyuan killed Juekong by mistake.

But someone immediately pointed out that Jueyuan was a person from the Investigation Division, and admitting that Jueyuan killed people meant admitting that the imperial court wanted to kill Juekong, as for saying that everything was Jueyuan's own opinion, I'm afraid no one would believe it.

When arguing here, Zhu Yunwen keenly felt that some of the important ministers present didn't seem to believe that it was an accident, hehe, I really didn't mean to kill Juekong!

Perhaps it was because he felt that the emperor's face was uncertain, and someone immediately remedied it, suggesting that Jueyuan should also be eliminated, and at the same time, the court should commend him for his loyalty to the old master and his willingness to serve underground together!

This is a bit of a, if Juekong has knowledge underground, he will definitely say: "Jueyuan, I won't let you go if I am a ghost!" ”

Not only that, but someone immediately pointed out that since Jueyuan was a loyal minister, then who killed Juekong?

yes, why did you forget about it?

However, the IQ of everyone present was absolutely off the charts, and some people immediately thought that Juekong was killed by Dehuan, because of his heavy push in the afternoon, which caused Master Juekong, who was already weak and wrote scriptures in blood, to pass away suddenly, leaving posterity with wordless pathos and melancholy.

But there is still the question, Tuhuan is just a nine-year-old child, is there anyone who instructs it?

......

After a heated debate, when the white of the fish belly appeared in the east, everyone formed a strange conclusion.

At the instigation of his mother Samur and his father Mahamu, Tuhuan killed Master Juekong, as for the reason, the two had the intention of rebellion, intending to use Juekong's death to arouse the dissatisfaction of the grassland tribes, and then achieve their ulterior goals.
