Chapter 569: Poisonous Hand
Bianjing Zhu Mansion.
Two warriors were kneeling in the hall, one of them wearing a blood-stained bandage around his wrist. The inside of the hall was covered with shards of blue and white porcelain, and there were also some slags on the backs of the two warriors, which were not splashed, but left behind after the cups that were smashed on them shattered.
Zhu Mian sat in the main seat with a pale face, breathing a little quickly, obviously just venting his anger.
The butler and the leader of the minions stood aside, and their faces were very ugly.
"Young master, drink a cup of tea to dissipate your anger."
The maid brought the tea, and after the housekeeper took it, she carefully served it to Zhu Mian.
"The young master is angry, the gang of black-clothed people who robbed Lao Hu should not be from Kaifeng Mansion, and the people of Kaifeng Mansion don't have such good skills."
After the next warrior finished speaking, the leader next to him frowned.
syllable
A blue and white porcelain teacup smashed on the head of the warrior who spoke, and suddenly the fragments flew down, and the tea was also sprinkled all over the warrior's head, and it was still steaming.
"Nonsense, of course I know that those people in black are not from Kaifeng Mansion" Zhu Mian stepped forward angrily and kicked the two of them again, and said violently: "But they must be Wu Zhi's people, what is the difference between this and whether they are people from Kaifeng Mansion or not, stupid waste"
"The young master is angry, for the sake of today, we still have to come up with a countermeasure as soon as possible" The housekeeper grabbed the irritable Zhu Mian and snorted coldly at the two warriors on the ground: "Don't get out of here yet"
The two of them retreated in embarrassment.
The leader also stepped forward and persuaded Zhu Mian: "That old Hu knows too many secrets, and now that Wu Zhi is holding it, he will definitely give it all out, we must not sit still."
After listening to the words of the two, Zhu Mian sat down resentfully and gradually began to calm down.
In order to keep secret, all the prostitutes before him were secretly transported to Zhu's mansion by Lao Hu's hands, and then sent away by Lao Hu, so only Lao Hu knew who those prostitutes were and where their homes were.
"Never exposed"
Zhu Mian secretly gritted his teeth, once this point was exposed, then he would completely fall into passivity, and it would not be far from a catastrophe.
"Wu Zhi has such an important witness, he will definitely not be imprisoned in the prison of Kaifeng Mansion, which is convenient for us to act" Zhu Mian sneered, and immediately said to the leader next to him: "Lei Hu, you quickly mobilize all the light and dark spies of our Zhu family in Bianjing, even if you turn Bianjing City upside down, you must find out the location of Lao Hu before dark, once the location is found out"
A hint of ferocity flashed in Zhu Mian's eyes, and he continued: "Once the location is confirmed, immediately gather all the people to kill it, and kill Lao Hu and everyone around him, and don't leave a single mouth alive."
After hearing this, the housekeeper and Na Lei Hu both changed their faces, and the housekeeper asked carefully: "Young master, that Wu Zhi is in control of the patrol battalion, and after getting Lao Hu, what if he sends heavy troops to protect him?"
"Hmph, if Wu Zhi really sent heavy troops to protect it, it must be very eye-catching, I found it, not to mention whether Wu Zhi would be so stupid, even if he is really like this, you have to kill it, don't we have a strong crossbow in our hands, bring it with me, I don't believe he can transfer all the patrol battalions to protect the one surnamed Hu"
In the Song Dynasty, except for the army, it was a felony for anyone to hold a bow and crossbow, but a powerful man like Zhu Mian, who dominated the southeast, no one dared to check if the house was equipped with a bow and crossbow.
After listening to Zhu Mian's words, the housekeeper and Lei Hu's faces changed again, and the housekeeper persuaded: "Young master, if you really make such a big move, I'm afraid that even if you kill Lao Hu and Na Wuzhi, you will not be able to escape the involvement, do we really want to break the net with Na Wuzhi?"
"Don't worry, as long as Lao Hu is dead, no matter how big the trouble is, I have a way to make Your Majesty not blame me" Zhu Mian snorted confidently and continued: "This is not a dead fish, then Wu Zhi is not so easy to kill, and I estimate that Wu Zhi will not protect Lao Hu with great fanfare, but will hide Lao Hu for interrogation, you just need to search with all your might, and when the time comes, you just need to send a group of masters to assassinate Lao Hu."
"Let's go without further ado"
Zhu Mian was very impatient.
"Yes"
Lei Hu took the order and immediately exited the door.
"Wait"
Lei Hu just walked out of the door, but was stopped by Zhu Mian again.
"Young master, what else do you command?"
"Pick out those who killed Sun Xin's family last time, and prepare more smoke," Zhu Mian commanded in a deep voice.
"Young master, you want to"
"If you can't find any trace of Lao Hu before tonight, then kill Wu Zhi's whole family"
Zhu Mian's face was dark, and a heavy resentment erupted in his eyes.
"I'm the one who went over and asked them to prepare"
Lei Hu licked his lips, smiled cruelly, and quickly retreated.
"The young master is decisive in killing, and the old slave admires"
The housekeeper's face twitched and complimented Zhu Mian, shocked and shocked, but if Lao Hu could not be found before night, killing Wu Zhi was undoubtedly the best way.
"The smoke is very powerful, it will fall when it smells, Wu Zhi is dead, but the poor Wu Zhi family and the young sons are all innocent to death," the housekeeper sighed.
"They deserved to die"
Zhu Mian flicked his sleeves expressionlessly and walked away.
In the room of Fan Lou Tianzi Ding, Shi Qian was pacing back and forth inside, and there were two capable guards standing on both sides of the door, and on the chair in the middle of the room, there was a thin old man tied to it.
This old man is Lao Hu.
"Master Shi, the big official is here."
The voice of Fan Lou Zhang's shopkeeper came from outside the door, and after a while, the gatehouse opened, and Wu Zhi walked in quickly with only two guards, Lan Ying, Qin Hui, Song Gong and Zhang Long, Zhao Hu.
Shi Qian bowed to Wu Zhi, looked at Lan Ying and them, and said to Wu Zhi: "Big official, this person is willing to recruit if he says he wants to see you." After speaking, he left on his own, Qin Hui and Song Gong only knew that this was Wu Zhi's subordinate, while Lan Ying tilted his head slightly, and looked at Shi Qian's back.
There is something subtle in the eyes.
Wu Zhi didn't have time to pay attention to anything else, he sat down in front of Lao Hu and ordered someone to loosen Lao Hu's ties.
"It's really you"
I compared it with the portrait, and it was exactly the same as the portrait.
"Take-sama"
Lao Hu bowed his hand to Wu Zhi surprisingly calmly, and said: "I have everything you want to know here, and only I know that since Zhu Mian is ruthless, don't blame me Lao Hu for being unrighteous, I will tell Master Wu everything I know, and I will also be a witness to testify against Zhu Mian, but I have one condition, and I hope that the Lord will fulfill it."
Hearing this, Wu Zhi couldn't help but glance at Lord Lan, it seems that this old Hu is an understanding person
"Let's talk about what you know first, and then put forward the conditions." Wu Zhidao.
He only knew that this old Hu was just the one who helped Zhu Mian find a prostitute, and he didn't know how much useful insider he knew, so it was impossible to rashly agree to him on any conditions.
Lao Hu replied: "I have been in the Zhu family for nearly ten years, and I have found prostitutes for Zhu Mian for nearly six years, Zhu Mian likes the new and hates the old, and only has boys from five to seven years old, so I have found countless boys for him over the years, but these boys are only in my hands, even Zhu Mian and the Zhu family housekeeper don't know where these boys came from, as long as I make a detailed list, why can't adults expose Zhu Mian's evil deeds to the world."
"You can remember these boys," Song Gong asked.
"Even if you can't remember all of them, it's enough to remember some of them," Lao Hu said eagerly: "And I was next to Zhu Mian when he sent someone to assassinate Zheng Kai and his wife in Shanghe Village and Lord Sun's family, so I can also testify."
Wu Zhi was overjoyed in his heart, according to what Lao Hu said, his value was greater than Wu Zhi had guessed before, as long as he had Lao Hu's confession and list, Wu Zhi could directly attack Zhu Mian
"Tell me about your conditions." Wu Zhi pretended to be calm.
"The villain's conditions are very simple, I just hope that Master Wu can leave a way for the villain to live" Lao Hu was so excited that he bowed to Wu Zhi.
"Don't worry about this, you are only responsible for finding a prostitute, and the crime will not lead to death, plus you are willing to take the initiative to confess, and you will definitely be punished lightly when the time comes" Wu Zhi said.
"Adults and villains don't mean that, villains hope that when adults are sentenced, they can exile villains to the northwest or Sichuan, in short, don't be in Jiangnan, and you must send your people to escort villains secretly"
"What kind of condition is this," Qin Hui wondered.
Wu Zhi waved his hand and said with a wry smile: "Okay, I promise you that I will protect you when the time comes, and I will also give you a sum of money to let you be a new person in the Great Northwest."
The reason why Lao Hu put forward such a condition is, to put it bluntly, out of fear of the Zhu family's forces, and secondly, because he does not believe that Wu Zhi can completely arrest Zhu Mian and punish him.
"Thank you, sir."
Lao Hu bowed to Wu Zhi gratefully.
Wu Zhi motioned for Qin Hui to prepare for the record, and began to ask Lord Song Gonglan to question Lao Hu. This kind of thing is something that the two of them are more professional than Wu Zhi, and Wu Zhi just needs to listen to it.
"You will think about it later, let me ask you first, you deceived the child of Zheng Kai's family to Zhu Mian, when was the specific time, and when did the child die?"
