Chapter 89: This Doesn't Feel Good! (3rd Update)
A crisp sound resounded throughout the lobby.
But it was the teacup in Li Antong's hand that fell to the ground and shattered. The scattered fragments seem to be just like Li Antong's mood at the moment. From heaven, instantly fall into the endless abyss hell.
Jia Rudao gently closed the tea lid, looked at Li Antong, who was lost and stunned, and said softly: "Lord Li, you have disappointed the saint, you have disappointed the official good." ”
"Uncle Guo, save me! Help me! Xiaguan was forced, a month ago, those gangsters suddenly entered Xiaguan's mansion to take the lives of the whole family as hostage, the dove occupied the magpie's nest, Xiaguan had no choice but to be at their mercy, Xiaguan was forced! Please be enlightened, uncle! ”
Hearing Jia Nidao's words, Li Antong, whose soul had already left his body, instantly returned to his place, his body fell to the ground with a soft plop, and crawled to the feet of Jia Nidao, holding Jia Nidao and crying bitterly.
The freshly shattered teacup cut through the clothes and skin of his legs, dragging out two crimson marks as he moved.
Sure enough, it was at Li Antong's house.
In fact, Jia Yidao is not sure that those who escaped by luck are hiding in Li Antong's house.
Du Shuixian told Jia Yidao how Sun Kui and the others contacted her, how they entered Lin'an City, and what they did for Sun Kui and others before the two sides completed the transaction and separated.
What Du Shuixian said was roughly the same as the process that Jia Yidao could guess. The only thing that made Jia Yidao feel that he had gained something was that Sun Kui once paid a high price for Du Shuixian to get a list of the main officials of the various officials below the prefect of Lin'an Mansion.
This list includes the official positions of the various chamber stewards, their addresses, the number of people in the house, and even some possessions.
According to Du Shuixian, she initially just thought that Sun Kui, a good man in the green forest, couldn't get along in the north and wanted to make a fortune in Lin'an City, so she didn't care too much about it, and tried her best to help him find the information of these officials.
On this list of fans, in addition to Li Antong, the same governor of Lin'an Mansion, there are more than ten officials of all sizes, such as the governor of Lin'an Mansion, the governor of Tongzhi, and the governor of Tongju.
Now it has been determined that the person who assassinated Meng Hui is Sun Kui in Du Shuixian's mouth, because Sun Kui that Du Shuixian said is a master of guns, and Jia Yidao, who had witnessed the whole assassination process, immediately determined that the big man of the iron tower was Sun Kui.
Then Sun Kui obviously won't do useless work, let alone use the list in order to rob these officials.
The only explanation is that these people will be the ones they have left for themselves.
Think about it, once Meng Heng is assassinated, Lin'an Mansion, the palace front division, and the forbidden army will all be dispatched, and most of the searches can only be the houses of ordinary people, and there are few direct searches of the mansions of the imperial officials.
Isn't this the best natural hiding place?
Jia Rudao had to sigh, that Sun Kui seemed reckless, but in fact he was also a person. If it weren't for Du Shuixian to say this, I'm afraid that even if the water and land of Lin'an City were blocked for more than a year, they would not be able to force them.
Who would have thought that these people would hide in the mansion of the imperial court?
The more than ten officials on the list are naturally the objects that need to be focused on and suspected, and Jia Rudao intends to call them one by one to deceive. It's just that what he didn't expect was that Li Antong, who was the first to arrive, gave himself a surprise as soon as he came.
However, Jia Yidao did not rule out that other people's mansions were also occupied by Sun Kui's gang.
"Master Li, what is this for? If you have something to say, get up quickly, get up quickly. Jia Rudao finally understands what he is doing now, Li Antong, who has always been rich for more than a month, suddenly lost weight.
"Uncle Guo, you must save the lower official! Save the family of Xiaguan! ”
Li Antong hugged Jia Yidao's legs, snot and tears, crying was miserable.
He knew very well that since the matter had been exposed, the only one who could save him in the Song Dynasty was the current emperor, and the only one left in front of him was the uncle who was sealed by the emperor Chrysostom.
If Emperor Zhao Yun knew that Li Antong, as an official of the imperial court, knew the law and broke the law, hid the assassin in his home for more than a month, and had the heart to destroy his ten clans, how could he let him go?
Therefore, his only hope can only be Jia Yidao, who is in charge of the arrest of the assassins. As long as Jia seems to open his mouth, bad things may become good things, and sins can also become successful labor.
Jia Rudao frowned slightly, it's too unhygienic, isn't it?
"Master Li, if you don't get up and talk well, even if the official wants to save you, there is no way to ......"
"Uncle Xie Guo's life-saving grace, Uncle Xie Guo's life-saving grace! The lower official is a cow and a horse to repay the uncle for saving his life! ”
Before Jia seemed to finish speaking, Li Antong had already climbed up the pole directly, and was busy desperately saying words of gratitude.
"Alright, get up and talk back! What kind of system do you make others see like this? After giving a few colors, he immediately opened a dyeing workshop, and Jia Rudao couldn't help but be angry in his heart. shouted and scolded.
If this Li Antong had reported directly to the imperial court since Sun Kui and the others appeared, how could he wait until today?
"Yes, yes, yes! Uncle Guo, please ask, the lower officials must know everything and say everything! ”
Jia Rudao suddenly became angry, and suddenly scared Li Antong and didn't dare to howl, he didn't care about wiping the snot and tears on his face, he hurriedly got up and carefully moved to the side and put half of his butt on the chair.
"How many assassins are there in your house?"
"Uncle Guoguo, there were as many as sixteen gangsters in the Xiaguan Mansion at the beginning, and now there are still six gangsters left in the mansion."
"These two are among the six?"
Jia Rudao said and put two "shadow figures" drawn by the painter according to Meng Hui's description in front of Li Antong, pointed and asked.
Li Antong's words made Jia Yidao feel overjoyed, but he couldn't help but ask. There were dozens of assassins who ambushed Meng Heng, and although more than eighty percent of them were killed on the spot, more than ten people escaped. But there are only six people in Li Antong's mansion, so it means that there are still some fish that have slipped through the net in other officials' mansions.
You're really good at choosing places, these people.
"Uncle Guoguo, it's the two of them, these two gangsters have been in the Xiaguan Mansion, and the male gangster has been seriously injured and has been recuperating from his injuries."
Li Antong glanced at the two sketches that didn't look too similar, and nodded hurriedly.
For Sun Kui and Wanyan Hongye, Li Antong is sure that even if they turn to ashes, he can recognize them at a glance.
"What did they ask you?"
"Uncle Returning to China, the injured man made the lower officials have to report all the big and small things that happened in the government every day, and if there is a slight mistake, the lower officials will suffer a lot of flesh and skin, please see!"
Li Antong said and carefully lifted his sleeves, only to see that the white fat arms were densely covered with shocking red spots. After a closer look, Jia Nidao realized that it was all pierced with silver needles.
"That villain seems to have an internal response in Lin'an Mansion. On two occasions, the subordinate deliberately concealed some important information and did not say it, but he was directly pointed out by the villain, and suffered a meal of flesh and skin, my lord! ”
Li Antong's words are six points true and four points false.
It is true to say that there is guilt, and it is not false to say that he has suffered from flesh and skin, but to say that he deliberately concealed some important information and did not say it is complete nonsense. The reason why he was cleaned up was because others said that he was a fellow knower but did not know the way.
Jia Yidao didn't see Li Antong's complaints, and he was even more sure in his heart that there were other officials in the palace who were controlled by Sun Kui's subordinates.
"Oh, the lower official still has something to report to Uncle Guo. Three days ago, the injured man had specially asked the location of the mansion of Uncle Xiaguan and the number of people in the mansion. ”
"What did you say?"
Hearing Li Antong's words, Jia Rudao's heart suddenly tightened, Huo Ran got up, grabbed Li Antong's chest and placket, and asked urgently.
"Next...... Xiaguan ...... said that the injured man had asked the mansion of Uncle Xiaguan Guo and the mansion ......"
"You, sue, sue, he?" Jia Rudao stared at Li Antong word by word.
"Next...... Under...... Xiaguan ......"
Li Antong could feel the anger in Jia Yidao's heart, he didn't dare to admit it, let alone admit it.
"Humph!"
In fact, Jia Yidao had heard what Li Antong said for the first time, but he didn't want to believe it. With a cold snort and threw Li Antong back on the seat, Jia Rudao turned around and shouted, "Someone!" ”
"Your Excellency!"
Mu Nuan responded and appeared outside the lobby door.
"Mu Nuan, you and the four of you hurry back to Jiafu, if there is nothing to do in the house, you don't need to go back to the mansion, stay in the mansion to protect the lady and wait for the official to return to the house; If it is Fuchu...... If there is a change, don't startle the snake, come back quickly and report it. ”
"Subordinates obey!"
When Mu Nuan and the four of them left, Jia Rudao looked at the sky outside the house, and there was still a period of time before the sun went down. I hope that there will not be the kind of result I thought in my heart, but I hope that Sun Kui has not acted so quickly.
It is impossible for him to mobilize the officials of Lin'an Mansion and catch them to go to Jiafu quickly, in that case, I am afraid that he will be even more alarmed. Not to mention, when encountering a master like Sun Kui, there is actually no difference between a few and a dozen or a dozen catchers who are fast or not.
Mu Nuan and the four of them are all masters, and they have a small number of people and small targets, so it would be better to let them go to the front station before the situation is clarified. Even if something really happened in the house, it wouldn't be too alarming.
"Jia Quan'er, take Master Li to the painting room and ask him to draw the graphics in the house, and mark it clearly whether there is a secret door or not. Then bathe and change clothes for Master Li, and wait for me in this lobby. ”
Jia Rudao didn't even look at Li Antong, who collapsed in the chair, and left a sentence and walked out of the lobby by himself.
There are also more than ten officials who want to find out the few people who are controlled by Sun Kui.
Since Zhilu Dao Sun Kui once inquired about the location of his mansion and already knew where the Dao Jia Mansion was, Jia Rudao had already made up his mind in his heart, as long as there was a slight possibility, he would do whatever it took to keep Sun Kui and others in Lin'an City forever.
It's always remembered by people, and it's also remembered by some murderous masters, which feels really bad.
