Half a quarter of an hour later. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

There was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the post house, and the four teams of officers and soldiers ran into the post house in a hurry, surrounding the upstairs, downstairs, and the hall, especially the lobby where Luo Yi and Wu Shengqing and others were eating, and a large number of manpower was dispatched to control it.

"Huh? This is...? Whose soldiers and horses are this? ”

Wu Shengqing was the first to notice that something was wrong, he was most familiar with the troops of Yangzhou City, and he didn't have these soldiers and horses in front of him at all, especially the clothes of these soldiers, although they were roughly the same as the officers and soldiers guarding Yangzhou City, but if you look closely, the clothes are a little dull. It's like the soldiers and horses of the regular army.

After the soldiers came in, there was a leading general who walked directly to Luo Yi: "Master Hou, it's too late to be humble, and I hope Lord Hou will forgive me; The school grounds in the city have been secured, and the 5,000 horse infantry army is in place, waiting for your orders. ”

Wu Shengqing looked at Luo Yi in surprise.

"Master Hou, you..."

"Wu Changshi, I'm sorry, the salt tax still has to be investigated, and I can't just give up."

Luo Yi stood up, looked at the general in front of him, and asked, "General, haven't asked your name yet...?" ”

"The last general, Niu Yanjin, Master Hou, please command."

Luo Yi said: "Okay, then I won't be polite to you; General Lao Fu sent an order to arrest all the salt merchants present and escort them all to the Yangzhou Mansion. ”

"Wu Changshi, from now on, your Yangzhou Mansion has been requisitioned by me, if you don't have any major events, just stay in the post house, I will look for you if you have something."

Wu Shengqing was stunned and didn't dare to move on the spot, and nodded vigorously.

Niu Yanjin arched his hand and said: "Master Hou rest assured, the last general will immediately send them to Yangzhou Mansion." ”

The members of the Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce led by Huang Yan were all confused, and they didn't figure out what was going on at all.

Huang Yan said: "Why arrest us, we didn't commit anything." ”

"yes, what did we do?"

......

Luo Yi got up and took Zhao Wenyong to prepare to leave, patted Huang Yan on the shoulder and said, "President Huang, you didn't commit a crime, when you get to the mansion, I will tell you carefully, now come with me." ”

"Let's go!" The two big-headed soldiers walked up, pulled out their horizontal knives, and went out of their bodies with a sonorous sound, scaring Huangyan and the surrounding rich merchants half to death.

Soon, the situation was brought under control, and all the people were escorted by the soldiers, and walked out of the post house and headed for the palace.

Wu Shengqing was still surprised, what he was surprised was not that Luo Yi went back on his word, but that Luo Yi was able to mobilize the 30,000 garrisons in Yangzhou, and he knew very well that no one had the right to transfer this army except for the emperor and the holy decree. And now, these soldiers and horses have actually entered Yangzhou City, what does this mean? Could it be that Luo Yi has already obtained the holy decree and vowed not to give up if he does not find out the salt tax in Yangzhou?

Luo Yi left the post house and rushed to Yangzhou Mansion with a large number of chamber of commerce members.

Luo Yi didn't dare to delay for a moment, and after arriving at the Yangzhou Mansion, he asked Niu Yanjin to detain everyone to the cell, lock them with iron chains, tie them to wooden stakes, and not allow them to rest or eat.

It wasn't until late at night that Luo Yi took Zhao Wenxian and Zhao Wenyong to the prison to prepare for the trial.

There are more than 40 members of the Chamber of Commerce, all large and small salt merchants, and the cells are separated by wooden boards to provide sound insulation, and the conversation inside is absolutely inaudible to the people in the other room.

Luo Yi first went to the cell where Huang Yan was, brought a stool, and Luo Yi sat down: "Someone, give me twenty lashes first, and then I will ask questions." ”

"Yes."

Two soldiers stepped forward and whipped Huang Yan fiercely with a horsewhip, and one soldier gave ten whips, one whip was a lot, and the skin of the blow was open.

After the fight, Luo Yicai said: "President Huang, I will ask you a few questions now, if you answer truthfully, I will let you go, if you don't answer, or fool me, it won't be as simple as whipping later, do you see the stove over there, there is Nuo Tie in it, I will personally stick it on you, let you know what pain is." ”

Huang Yan said angrily: "Luo Yi, why did you arrest me and interrogate me?" I'm not convinced! Do you have proof? Is there any evidence? ”

Luo Yi said truthfully: "Not now, but later." ”

"It seems that you don't cry when you don't see the coffin, and I won't talk nonsense with you, Zhao Wenxian, where is Nuo Tie, pinch him on his chest, and print a plum blossom for me first."

Zhao Wenxian laughed and said, "Okay, big brother watch, see how I clean him up." ”

took the red-hot Nuotie and shook it in front of Huang Yan, Zhao Wenxian pestle it down without hesitation...

"Die!"

Yes...

Huang Yan screamed heartbreakingly. The whole body convulsed, the teeth clucked, and the blood flowed out between the teeth and down the corners of the mouth and down the chin.

At this moment, Huang Yan's complexion changed, and his fat body kept shaking, struggling on the line between life and death.

Luo Yi took the opportunity to say: "I want to ask two questions, first, how many taxes have you salt merchants missed over the years, whose hands have all this money gone to, and where is the money?" Second, in addition to you salt merchants, Yangzhou officials, and even Chang'an officials, whether they are involved or not, you have to say it without revealing it! ”

Nuo Tie's strength had passed, and Luo Yi asked Zhao Wenxian to bring the iron whip again.

Luo Yi said: "President Huang, you have also seen it, I am not scaring you today, if you don't say it, I can beat you to death, you are a death left and right, why suffer this crime?" ”

"You..."

Huang Yan seemed to have eaten the scales, snorted a mouthful of blood, and said: "Don't think about it, you just kill me, I won't say, you don't have evidence, you don't dare to do anything to me!" ”

"Oh... So that's what you think, I don't dare to do anything to you, right? ”

Luo Yi sneered: "Then I'll let you see, do I dare or not!" ”

"Zhao Wenxian, cut off his hand for me first, so that his kid knows that it hurts!"

"Yes."

Zhao Wenxian didn't say a word, threw away the iron whip, and picked up a knife from the side.

Zhao Wenxian laughed and said, "President Huang, you don't look at what kind of place this is, do you think it's still your Huang Mansion?" This is the Yangzhou Mansion, and the Hou Ye has the final say in everything, and even most of you Governor Shi can't come to the Mansion again, let alone you, even if you are slaughtered, no one dares to say anything. ”

"I'll cut off one of your hands today and let you see, do we dare!"

As he spoke, Zhao Wenxian raised his knife.

Huang Yan's face finally turned pale, and he shouted repeatedly: "Don't... Don't be impulsive, I... I say. ”

"Wait."

Luo Yi stopped Zhao Wenxian and said to Huang Yan: "You say, let's first tell me how many taxes you salt merchants have missed over the years, whose hands have all this money gone to, and where is it potential?" ”

Huang Yan looked at the bright knife that Zhao Wenxian was still holding, and said, "First... Put the knife down first, I say. ”

"I thought you were so tough, huh!"

Zhao Wenxian withdrew the knife and returned to Luo Yi's side.

It's no wonder that Huang Yan is afraid, if it is just an iron whip and an inno iron, it hurts, but he can definitely live and retain his health, but if he has no hands, then even if he is recruited, he will become a cripple in the future.
