Volume 5: Whose Great Cause, Chapter 75, Fishing in Troubled Waters
"This is the person?" Looking at the obscene man who was tied up in a ball, crying so much that snot and tears flowed down, Yuan Hao frowned, such a person didn't look like a vicious person who had the courage to kill people.
"Exactly." The boss of Changle Building replied respectfully, and at the same time pointed to a stack of good rice paper on the table next to him and said, "My lord, please see, this is the exam question found on the spot from him, a total of five copies." ”
Yuan Hao picked up an exam question from the table and looked at it casually, it was exactly the same as the test question he handed over to the emperor, this person stole and sold the exam question without a doubt, but it was very suspicious if he could ask him about the behind-the-scenes instructions, how could it be so simple for the other party to do such a thing.
"What's your name and where does your family live?" Yuan Haofa asked.
"What are you going to do?" The man stopped crying, his face was terrified, and he threatened: "This is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, don't mess around." "It's just a tone, but the heart is very empty.
"Smack, smack." Several slaps sounded, and a dark-clothed guard slapped the obscene man in the face several times, and asked: "Do you still know that this is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, say, where did you get these test questions, and who is your backstage?" ”
The lewd man's face suddenly rose high and swollen, but he didn't have the horror just now, and begged for mercy: "Don't fight, don't fight, it turns out that you are asking this, you want to take it, the villain doesn't take a penny, as long as you don't kill me, just make the meat into buns." ”
The lewd man's words made everyone look at each other, and the fat on the face of the owner of Changle Building trembled: "What nonsense, you can't treat this building as a black shop?" ”
"Aren't you a black shop?" The lewd man asked cautiously.
The boss of Changle Building was so angry that he trembled all over. In the past 30 years, except for the war to unify the south in the eighth year of the emperor's reign, the territory has been basically stable, the economic development has been rapid, and the people have gradually become abundant. ^^ culture has also flourished, among which storytelling is the fastest growing one, almost every slightly larger teahouse, restaurant has a storyteller to attract customers, most of the people will storyteller fictional things as true, among which the roadside black shop will make people make ** meat buns The story is widely spread, obviously this lewd man is also a black shop in Changle Building, if it is spread out, even if others are suspicious. I'm afraid I'll never dare to come to the door again.
"Hit, hit me hard." The old building of Changle Lou was so angry that he didn't care about interrogation, and he had to beat up this person who ruined the reputation of his restaurant.
"Yes." A darkcoat guard answered, took out a leather whip from the wall, and looked at the lewd man with fierce eyes, the whip ready to be drawn at any moment.
"Slow, tell him who we are, it's not too late to interrogate again." Yuan Hao hurriedly stopped the torture of the secret guards.
"This ......" The dark-clothed guard couldn't help but look at his boss, although Yuan Hao's official is big. But it is not as good as the boss of Changle Building, once the secret of Changle Building's dark clothing industry is exposed, according to the previous practice, this industry will be transferred, and they will be able to leave the capital and start again.
The fat of the boss of Changle Building trembled: "Look at what I'm doing, I still don't obey the orders of adults." "As a boss, his horizons are much broader than those of his subordinates. Of course, I don't care about a restaurant, once I get the green eyes of the commanding adults, Feihuang Tengda is just around the corner.
"Boy, listen up. We're not a black shop, we're a dark guard, have you heard? ”
"Dark ...... Darkguard. With a bang, the lewd man's eyes rolled and he fainted.
Yuan Hao looked at the lewd man a little helplessly, when did the three words of dark clothes and guards be more fierce than the black shop that wanted to make human meat buns, and he was disappointed in his heart. ^^^ There is little hope as to how many secrets the man knows.
"Wake him up."
"Yes."
"Whoa." A large basin of cold water was poured from head to toe on the lewd man. The lewd man shuddered and suddenly woke up. Seeing a group of people surrounding him, he rolled his eyes, and was about to faint again, a dark-clothed guard hurriedly pinched him, and the man barely kept himself from fainting, but his whole body trembled badly, and he didn't know whether it was cold or scared.
Without waiting for the dark guard to ask, the lewd man shook out the 1510 he knew, this person's surname was Guo, the original name was Guo Daniu, and later he changed his name to Guo Jie, I still heard that there was a famous person named Guo Xie in the Han Dynasty in the commentary, a native of the capital, a person who was lazy and lazy, and was an authentic second-rate son, compared to the Guo Xie of the Han Dynasty, he was 108,000 miles away, and he only relied on thieves and small models to live, and he was often hungry for a full meal.
At this time, the Great Sui was like the rising sun, the politics were clear, and the security in the capital was even better, people like Guo Xie were destined to not have much interest, and most of the people who dared to violate the royal law were sent to the south to reclaim wasteland.
Originally, Guo Xie thought that he could mix for a lifetime, but last night, suddenly a person stuffed him with these test questions, telling him that as long as he sold the test questions to a wealthy scholar, a test question could be sold for ten gold coins, although Guo Xie was skeptical, but people like him dreamed that the sky could drop a windfall, and he still found Zhuque Street in a hurry at dawn, and when he saw Changle Building, he went in to find a seller, but he didn't expect a test question to be arrested before it was sold.
Guo Xie is indeed smart, when he heard the dark guard, he immediately understood the reason why he was arrested, and he didn't dare to hide it at all, and begged at the end: "My lord, let me go, the villain has not done anything, I will tell you everything, I still have an octogenarian mother to support in my family, if she is caught, the villain will not be able to die, but the old lady will no longer have anyone to support." ”
Guo Jie's words made the two interrogating dark-clothed guards get goosebumps all over their bodies when they heard it, and one of them said disdainfully: "Just like you, even if there is an old lady, the old lady will support you." ”
"My lord, I found out, this Guo Jie's identity is true, he basically hasn't been in contact with anyone these days, and his words are ninety percent true." After a while, the Darkcoat Guard, who had gone to investigate, returned in frustration to report it.
Yuan Hao knew that this would be the case, but he was not much disappointed, pointed at Guo Xie and asked coldly: "Does he really have an eighty-year-old lady?" ”
"Back to my lord, he does have a mother, but he is only in his forties, seeing that Guo Xie is too angry, he is disheartened, and he left home a few years ago."
"Well, I'll imprison him first, and then I'll gather the number of people and exile him to overseas islands."
"Don't, my lord, don't exile the villain overseas, the villain is a Great Sui person in life, and a Great Sui ghost in death." Guo Xie crawled in the direction of Yuan Hao in horror and begged hard.
During this period, many places in the south were not developed, and were regarded as wild places, not to mention overseas, but the emperor liked to exile thousands of miles at every turn, and sent prisoners overseas, due to the inconvenience of transportation, the prisoners exiled overseas had no chance to come back for at least ten years, and they didn't even know life and death, plus some storytellers described the overseas place as extremely dangerous, birds and beasts opened their mouths to eat people, and even all kinds of demons and monsters were rampant, and the punishment of exile overseas was even regarded by some people as more sad than killing the head.
Yuan Hao waved his hand: "Take it down." ”
I heard that many places overseas are full of sunshine all year round, rich in products, and people will have fruit falling into their mouths when they lie on the ground, maybe it is suitable for people like Guo Jie, no matter how powerful Guo Jie's intercession is, Yuan Hao naturally has no sympathy for such a person.
After Guo released the guard, Changle Lou was a little depressed, but in the end it was a busy job, fortunately the secret of Changle Lou as a dark guard industry was not leaked, otherwise it would be a big loss.
"My lord, my lord, good news, the dark guards of Taibai Mansion came to report, and they also caught a person who sold test questions." An unsuspecting Darkcoat Guard rushed in.
Although he knew that there was little hope, Yuan Hao still cheered up and said: "Order, let the people of Taibai Mansion temporarily detain people in secret, and wait for the interrogation of the official, the official's goal is too big, in order to prevent exposure, he still won't go." ”
"Yes, retire from your duties."
Just when Yuan Hao thought that the other party was going to die down, more and more dark guards came to report and caught the people who sold the exam questions, and in the evening, the capital arrested more than 20 people who sold exam questions, just an interrogation, the situation was all similar to Guo Jie, they were just suddenly told that they could use this exam question to sell for money, many people didn't know what was powerful, and they held the heart of running an errand if they couldn't sell it anyway, they tried to sell it in the place where the scholars were concentrated, and there were really people who sold it, but they were soon arrested by the people of the dark guards. Even if they have money, they can't spend it, and what awaits them is the same fate as Guo Jie.
Although the dark guards acted quickly, it was just that there were so many people who betrayed the exam questions all of a sudden, and it had already spread among the scholars, and now it was only two days before the entrance examination.
