Chapter 436: Death Without Speaking
Zhao Ziliang patted Wu Tiande's shoulder, turned his head and asked Gao Shang: "Where are Zhang Yulin and the others being held?" ”
Gao Shang said: "They are locked up in the four barracks of the first battalion!" ”
Zhao Ziliang thought for a while, and said to Wu Tiande: "General Ben is going to meet the four of them, you are busy with you, you don't have to accompany General Ben, after the thing is over, General Ben will go back to the Capture Mansion directly, and these Japanese generals will have to live in your house!" ”
Wu Tiande hurriedly said: "The general can stay as long as he wants, and the last general can sleep in the barracks!" ”
After sending Wu Tiande away, Zhao Ziliang and Gao Shang took their servants to the door of a barracks in the first battalion, which was heavily guarded, not only six soldiers stood guard in front, but also six soldiers stood guard behind the barracks.
As a soldier opened the door, Zhao Ziliang and Gao Shang walked into the barracks where Chen Hekun was held, Chen Hekun's face has lost a lot of weight in the past few days, obviously the sudden change of identity and the change of environment have put him under great physical and mental pressure, and people can only appear in this situation under this huge psychological pressure.
Chen Hekun sat on the bed board in the corner of the wall and saw Zhao Ziliang and Gao Shang come in, and said lightly: "General Zhao is here, presumably General Zhao is planning to persuade Chen and ask Chen to hand over the incriminating evidence about Lord Xiao, right?" ”
Zhao Ziliang sat down on the stool brought by a soldier and said with a smile: "You have a clear door in your heart, let's talk about it, you have reached this point, why are you still holding on to that incriminating evidence?" There is only one end if you hand it over or not, but if you hand it over, General Ben can give you a happy one and let you keep a whole corpse! ”
Chen Hekun chuckled and said, "General, you and I are both smart people, smart people don't play dumb riddles, right?" The surname Xiao has my whole family in my hands, as long as I hand over that thing, my family will be unlucky, in this case, I am already dead, why do I still harm my family? So the general doesn't have to bother! ”
Zhao Ziliang was silent for a while, looked at Chen Hekun and said: "On the morning of the second day when you were arrested, Xiao Jiong was caught by General Ben near the South Gate of Yunzhong and entered the Guarding Mansion, he should not have the opportunity and time to pass on the news, so although your family is controlled by someone he sent, as long as you hand over that thing, General Ben can promise to send someone to rescue your family!" ”
Chen Hekun's eyes flashed with a glimmer of hope, and he glared at Zhao Ziliang and asked, "Did the general really arrest Xiao Jiong?" He is above the general, and the general dares to arrest him without conclusive evidence? Aren't you afraid of being condemned from above?"
Zhao Ziliang smiled indifferently: "Sometimes you can do a lot of things that others dare not do with a little flexibility, just like General Ben did this time, he just invited Lord Xiao to the Guarding Mansion as a guest, and did not let him contact other people, General Ben did not arrest him, who has reason to say that General Ben is not?" ”
"The general is clever!" Chen Hekun gave a thumbs up and asked, "But how can Chen believe that the general can save Chen's family?" ”
Zhao Ziliang spread his hands: "You can only gamble, believe me, your family has hope to live, don't believe me, there is no hope, it's as simple as that!" ”
This logic is simply not too simple, three-year-old children will make a choice, Chen Hekun sighed: "Okay, Chen will believe in the general once!" Under the big birch tree in the middle of the small courtyard where Chen used to live in the Shouzhu Mansion, dig three feet down to the south, and dig a foot down, and a thing wrapped in an oilcloth is what the general needs! ”
"Good!" Zhao Ziliang nodded and asked, "General Ben has another question, do you think Xiao Jiong is the real mastermind behind your gang?" In addition to Xiao Jiong, is there a big man with a higher status behind him? ”
Chen Hekun looked at Zhao Ziliang in surprise and asked, "How could the general think like this?" Oh, Chen understood, it must have been one of the other three who told the general, that's right, although Chen only contacted Xiao Jiong every time, and he also pulled Chen and others into the gang, but Chen always felt that there should be someone behind him, but I didn't dare to ask, and I didn't dare to investigate casually! ”
Zhao Ziliang asked, "Do you have no news about this person?" ”
Chen Hekun shook his head; "Nope!"
Zhao Ziliang looked at Gao Shang, and then said to Chen Hekun: "General Ben will find out where Xiao Jiong hid your family as soon as possible, you can rest assured!" Thank you for bringing that incriminating evidence out! ”
After speaking, Zhao Ziliang shook his head at Gao Shang, and the two walked out of the barracks, and the barracks door was closed from behind.
Zhao Ziliang said: "Lord Gao, it seems that we have to go and meet Xiao Jiong for a while!" ”
Gao Shang said: "Yes, if there is really someone behind Xiao Jiong, then he must know who it is!" I'm afraid that he will be controlled like Chen Hekun and others, and his family will be in trouble! ”
Zhao Ziliang was silent, with the urine nature of this gang, Xiao Jiong is really likely to be controlled by someone, but a dignified Hedong army knows that the soldiers and horses will be controlled by others, and the people behind this scene are too terrible, right?
"Let's go, go back to the Capture Mansion!" Zhao Ziliang said and turned over on Wulima.
As soon as the two of them returned to the gate of the Guarding Mansion, they saw a Lang Zhong hurriedly walking out of the Guarding Mansion with a medicine box on his back, and then Brehan followed behind him with two servants, and the two stood on the side, Lang Zhong passed by them without looking at them.
When Langzhong walked a little farther, Brehan came over and arched his hand to Zhao Ziliang, Zhao Ziliang immediately understood that Langzhong just now was Langzhong who was invited by Brehan to see Xiao Jiong, so he nodded, and Brehan instructed the two servants behind him who had changed into civilian clothes: "Keep an eye on him, see where he has been and who he has been in contact with!" ”
"No!" The two said yes and hurriedly followed.
Zhao Ziliang waved his hand: "Let's go, go take out the things first, and then go to meet Xiao Jiong for a while!" ”
Saying that, a few people walked into the Shouzhu Mansion, and soon came to the small courtyard where Chen Hekun lived before, and found the big birch tree in the middle of the courtyard. ”
Several shovels worked together, and soon dug a foot deep, turned out something wrapped in oilcloth, and handed it to Zhao Ziliang after picking up the oilcloth bag and cleaning it.
Zhao Ziliang took the unwrapped oil cloth bag, got a folding book, opened the folding book, there were dense small characters written on it, and read it from beginning to end, his face was so gloomy that he was about to drip water, and the murderous aura on his body became more and more intense.
"Hmph, let's go, go see Xiao Jiong!" Zhao Ziliang turned around and left as he spoke, walking towards the small courtyard where Xiao Jiong was kept.
When he came to the small courtyard where Xiao Jiong was kept, the soldiers at the door saluted: "General! ”
Zhao Ziliang nodded, and came to the room where Xiao Jiong lived with Gao Shang, Brehan and others, and walked in to see that Xiao Jiong was still lying on the bed and hummed: "Oops・・・・・・ ・・・・・・."
Zhao Ziliang walked to the chair next to him and sat down and said coldly: "Okay, Lord Xiao, don't pretend!" Do you think that if you are like this, General Ben will not know your plans? ”
Xiao Jiong was shocked in his heart, his expression changed, he suddenly sat up from the bed, looked at Zhao Ziliang and said, "You ・・・・・・"
Zhao Ziliang put the folded book on the coffee table next to him, pointed at it and said, "With it, it is not too much for General Ben to put you in prison now!" ”
When Xiao Jiong saw the folded book, he was puzzled, "General Zhao, what do you mean by taking out this thing?" What is written on it? ”
Zhao Ziliang said angrily: "It is recorded that you and Chen Hekun, Zhang Yulin, Gao Yaohui and Lu Changge and other generals and colonels of the Yunzhong Guarding Mansion and Yunzhong Army cooperated to resell the imperial court embargoed materials to Mobei and subsidize the various departments in Mobei, the amount is so huge that it is outrageous, this is recorded privately by Chen Hekun who reconciles with you every time, and every time, place, amount and variety are recorded clearly, Lord Xiao, do you need this general to read to you?" ”
Xiao Jiong's whole body collapsed in an instant, and his face turned pale at this moment. After a long time, he sighed: "Zhao Ziliang, you won, the old man is planted in your hands!" What do you want to do with the old man, just do it! ”
Zhao Ziliang shook his head and said: "You are the number two person in the Hedong Army, how can General Ben have the right to dispose of you?" Xiao Jiong, you are a prisoner now, but if you are willing to explain who the person behind you is, General Ben can let you continue to live here without going to the cell! ”
If he can live comfortably before he dies, Xiao Jiong is of course reluctant to go to a dirty and smelly place like the cell, but Xiao Jiong knows that he really can't go to the cell, if he wants to stay here, his whole family will be killed by the marquis, his death is already a foregone conclusion, let go of this kind of collaborator, even if he is a relative of the emperor, he is afraid that it will be difficult to save his life, not to mention that he is not a relative of the emperor.
Xiao Jiong said with a smile: "General Zhao can really think that everything is masterminded by the old man behind the scenes, and the old man really hopes that there is a more terrifying big man behind the old man, so that the old man's sin is much smaller, at least the old man is not the mastermind, but an accomplice, even if he wants to kill the head, he can leave a whole corpse, it's a pity!" Does Zhao Ziliang think there is someone behind the old man? If so, who is it? Trouble General Zhao to tell the old man? ”
Zhao Ziliang said indifferently: "Xiao Jiong, why do you bother to take the blame for others? You can't make it, think about it, you are suffering here, and the person you took the blame for him is living happily outside, how wronged you are! ”
Xiao Jiong's face changed, and he said angrily: "Zhao Ziliang, the old man said, all this was done by the old man, and the old man is ready to die, why are you chasing after him?" Don't want to implicate more people, what is the benefit of you and Datang by taking such pains to expand the situation? ”
Zhao Ziliang was silent for a while, and said: "You still think carefully about whether it is worth it, General Ben can give you a few days to think about it!" If you want to say it, you can tell the soldier at the door! (To be continued.) )
