Chapter 517: Interrogation

Around the moment of the scandal, the fight in the post house here has ended.

At this time, the guards found out that there were two groups of people who sneaked into the post station and tried to assassinate their royal highness, and one group of people sneaked in from the front yard, but after careful observation, it was just a rabble, just relying on a large number of people, and when they saw that the situation was not good, they quickly fled along the same road over the wall, and even ignored their companions.

In contrast, the group of guys who sneaked in from the backyard, that is, those in black, were much more powerful than the thieves in the front yard, and they were not afraid of death, except for the few black-clothed people who were subdued by Mi Rui with anesthetics, the rest were killed by the guards and Mi Jiang, and they did not make a similar act of begging for mercy until they died.

In this regard, Zhao Hongrun suddenly realized afterwards: it turned out that there were two groups of people who came to assassinate him.

"Childe, the inventory has come out, and there are no casualties among us, but seven of the guards of the post here have died and sixteen have been injured."

Zong Wei Wei was arrogant and told Zhao Hongrun about the situation after the inventory, only to hear Zhao Hongrun frowning unconsciously, and He Zhirong, the head of the post who was in the same room, sighed.

"Your Highness." He Zhirong stood up and bowed his hand: "Contemptible people go and check the casualties of the guards." ”

"Chief He, please take care of yourself." Zhao Hongrun raised his hand.

Seeing He Zhirong shaking his head and sighing and walking out of the house, Zhao Hongrun's heart was not very comfortable, after all, the fifty soldiers in this post station, seven people died and sixteen people were injured, all because of Zhao Hongrun and his party.

But Zhao Hongrun can't help it, after all, the number of thieves who attacked the post station at night this time is really a lot, there are about 100 people before and after, if this is encountered in the wilderness, the two sisters and ten Zongwei alone may not be able to repel the thieves who come to the post station with ten out of ten, so Zhao Hongrun defected to this post station.

"If I knew this was the case, I shouldn't have let Cen Zhan and the others go to Shangshui County......

Zhao Hongrun couldn't help but regret it, regretting that he shouldn't have let Su Wangwei take a boat to Shangshui County first, otherwise, with those 100 Su Wangwei here, why should there be 100 thieves?

"Those thieves who will be caught...... Bring it in, I'm going to interrogate it myself. ”

With a long breath, Zhao Hongrun said angrily.

Wei Jiao nodded, and then asked, "Childe, how about interrogating the thief who came from the front yard first?" They don't look like they specialize in this kind of thing, but like chivalrous warriors wandering around, and they should be able to interrogate some things. ”

Zhao Hongrun thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay!" Bring them in. ”

After a while, the guards brought a dozen people in different costumes into the house, and saw that these people, ranging in age from their twenties to their thirties and forties, were also dressed in various ways, and the only similar characteristics were that they were sloppy, unkempt, and destitute.

For example, the man in his thirties who was forcibly pressed down by the guards and had to kneel in front of Zhao Hongrun, the hair strands at the back of his head were actually tied with hay at will, and the cloth clothes on his body also exuded a strong sour smell, and he didn't know how many days he hadn't been cleaned.

That smell, even the guards frowned frequently.

And the others, who were no better than this big man, had mud and stains on their clothes and pants, and it was a shame that they could still wear them.

"Thirteen ......"

Zhao Hongrun glanced at the thieves who were kneeling in the house, because these people were all tied up with ropes now, and Zhao Hongrun was not afraid of their resistance, so he crossed his fingers on the table, squinted his eyes and asked them, "You wait...... Who is it? Why are you attacking us? ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw the big man squinting at Zhao Hongrun, spitting on the ground, and said arrogantly: "Don't talk nonsense, if you want to kill or chop, listen to it, if grandpa frowns, he is definitely not a hero!" ”

"Huh!" Zhao Hongrun sighed lightly when he heard this, nodded, and said calmly: "Okay, meet your requirements." With that, he glanced up at the guards.

The guards understood, and immediately, Gao Kuo stepped forward, unsheathed the sword in his hand, and in the frightened and horrified gaze of the big man, he cut off the head of the big man with a single sword.

The big man only had time to let out a senseless scream, and his body was suddenly separated and he died.

Seeing this scene, the other twelve thieves in the house looked horrified, they didn't expect Zhao Hongrun to be so decisive.

At this time, Zhao Hongrun glanced around at them and asked calmly, "Who else wants to die quickly?" I satisfied him with that. ”

"......" The thieves lowered their heads, uneasy, and did not dare to speak.

Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun waved his hand and motioned for the guards to drag the corpse out of the house, then looked at the twelve thieves and said calmly: "Since there is no one who wants to die, then you can have a good chat with me." …… Who is it that made you wait to attack me? ”

"......" the thieves still kept their heads down.

Seeing this, Gao Kuo held the sharp sword that was still dripping blood, and put the blade on the chin of a thief, and slowly raised it, forcing the thief to raise his head.

"Childe, he's a mute." Gao Kuo said casually, and then cut the sharp knife in his hand, slashing the thief's throat.

The poor thief seemed to realize what was about to happen before his throat was cut open by Gao Kuo, and shouted loudly, "I say I said", but unfortunately, Gao Kuo ignored him at all, kicked him to the ground, stabbed the man in the heart with the blade of his sword, and killed him with a sword.

Another corpse was dragged out, leaving only eleven bound thieves in the house.

I saw that these people were stunned by Gao Kuo's drastic methods, and one of them was so frightened that he was actually incontinent, and the yellow turbid liquid dripped down his crotch to the ground, and a smell of urine suddenly spread.

"I say, I say."

"Don't kill me, I'm willing to say."

"I don't want to die yet......"

Suddenly, the eleven thieves seemed to explode the pot, and they all howled miserably.

Obviously, Gao Kuo's trick is very effective.

"Shut up!"

Seeing that there was too much commotion in the house, Wei Jiao shouted, stopped the howls of those thieves, raised his hand and pointed at them and said, "Say them one by one!" …… You, you speak first! ”

Wei Jiao's finger pointed at a man with a Chinese character face who looked about thirty years old, only to see him trembling, his lips squirming for a while, and then he held back a complete sentence: "...... It's a bounty, someone has put a bounty on your head, let's kill you. ”

"Bounty? A bounty for my head?'

Zhao Hongrun was stunned for a long time and didn't react, and after a long time, he frowned and asked, "You ...... Do you know who I am? ”

I saw the man in his thirties with a Chinese character face bowing his head, swallowing saliva, and replied with a fearful face: "You...... You are the King of Su. ”

"Actually...... Do you know who I am?'

Zhao Hongrun couldn't believe it.

He was thinking that maybe these people didn't know his identity, they were just being used, but it turned out that these people knew his identity, that is, they did it knowingly!

"You...... Am I from Wei? Zhao Hongrun asked with a gloomy face.

The man with a Chinese character face looked at Zhao Hongrun in shock, nodded slowly, and said fearfully: "Yes, I, I am a Wei person." ”

"It's actually a Wei person......

Zhao Hongrun closed his eyes and sighed secretly.

His heart ached.

He thought that he had done so much for the Wei State, and the civilians of the Wei State would at least not be hostile to him, even if they did not love him.

Unexpectedly, for some bounty, someone gathered a crowd to kill him on the premise of knowing that he was the king of Su.

"Childe ......"

Shen Yu saw that Zhao Hongrun's face was wrong, and whispered beside him: "The world is like this, there are some people who only care about their own selfish desires......"

Zhao Hongrun waved his hand to stop Shen Yu's reassurance, and then asked the man with the Chinese face: "The bounty...... How much is the king's head worth? ”

"Five...... 50,000 gold. The man with the face of the country replied in a trembling voice.

Hearing this, Zhao Hongrun couldn't help laughing.

You must know that in the Wei State, gold is not considered a real currency, because it is less in circulation, only in the gifts between nobles, and in the settlement of large trade, as for the market, there are almost no people with gold to shop.

Therefore, the exchange ratio of gold and silver is actually not high, that is, one to six or seven, in other words, the 50,000 gold in the mouth of the man with the national character face is actually equivalent to more than 300,000 taels of silver.

And this is the value of his Zhao Hongrun's head.

"That's a ...... What a ......."

Zhao Hongrun smacked his lips, and he was a little speechless for a while.

Thinking about it, he was quick to think, but at this time, he actually opened his mouth, which shows that his mood at the moment must be too complicated to describe in words.

And the guards in the house were all angry.

Although this statement is not appropriate, the guards are still angry: His Royal Highness's contribution to the country is more than ten thousand gold?! Three hundred thousand taels, this is simply an insult to His Highness!

However, they also cannot deny that more than 300,000 yuan is indeed a huge amount of money enough for ordinary people to eat and drink for a lifetime, and it is no wonder that these rangers will ignore Zhao Hongrun's noble status as King Su and do not hesitate to commit the following crimes.

Zhao Hongrun vented the resentment in his heart with laughter, and after a long time, he slowly stopped.

He looked at the rangers and asked, "Who...... The bounty posted? ”

After a moment of silence, one of the eleven rangers, who looked to be in his twenties, timidly replied, "We don't know about this...... We just saw the reward for King Su in the "Shiguan" of "Yangxia". ”

"Shikan? What is that? Zhao Hongrun asked in surprise.

As soon as the words fell, he heard a voice from the door, Zhao Hongrun turned his head to look, it turned out to be He Zhirong, the post chief here, who had returned.

"That's not worthy of being called a Shikan! It's just a place of filth! ”

Saying that, He Zhirong came to Zhao Hongrun's side, bowed his hand, and explained: "The 'Shiguan' in this son's mouth is a righteous house opened by local hidden thieves, which is used to collect some outlaws like this and drive them to do some things that hurt nature and reason with wealth. …… Hum! It tarnished the word "shi". ”

"Oh, it's a guild organization that issues tasks like this......

Zhao Hongrun suddenly realized. (To be continued.) )
