Chapter 332: Secret Investigation (Part II)
In fact, not only Guo Rong, but also the faces of the other officials sitting in the hall also changed, and many of them even showed a trace of hostility towards Zhong Yu. They were very clear www.biquge.info what he meant, which clearly meant that they didn't trust the rhetoric of the Datong officials and wanted to listen to what the rebels had to say.
Liu Yingji's face also flashed a trace of unhappiness, but soon, it was replaced by a look of embarrassment: "Lord Zhong, I'm afraid this matter is a little difficult to do." ”
"Oh? But why? Zhong Yu didn't seem to feel the sudden change in the atmosphere in the hall at all, and still asked with a hint of a smile.
"Your Excellency doesn't know that we will treat those captured rebel soldiers separately. Ordinary soldiers are usually deceived into doing this kind of thing, so as long as they are willing to admit their mistakes, we will disperse them back into the barracks, so it is difficult to find these people. Moreover, these soldiers have always only acted according to orders, and I am afraid that they will not be able to give a satisfactory explanation to the adults. As for those rebel generals......" Liu Yingji hesitated: "Because what they committed was a great crime of rebellion, so they ......"
Looking at his spitting appearance, Zhong Yu chuckled in his heart: "You put all these people to death?" ”
"Exactly." Guo Rong also came back to his senses at this moment, and said in a somewhat calm tone: "They gathered a crowd to make trouble, not to mention the military discipline of our Datong defenders, and also injured many of our brothers in the process of counterinsurgency. After they were captured, they were taken to Datong and executed according to law. Today, many of their heads are hung on the gates of the battalions. Therefore, if the adults want to ask them the reason for the rebellion, I am afraid that it will be impossible. ”
Zhong Yu's face suddenly sank, they were clearly killing people and killing people, so as not to be asked more information from these rebel generals. If it weren't for the fact that the number of those soldiers was so large that killing them would only cause trouble, I'm afraid they would even execute those people together, right?
Although Zhong Yu could insist on his own intentions and ask them to bring some soldiers over for questioning, who could guarantee that the soldiers who talked back and forth would be rebel prisoners? Or, who can guarantee that they are not threatened and must be telling the truth?
In this way, Zhong Yu wants to find out the truth of the rebellion through formal channels, starting from the officialdom or the army, but it will not work. This disappointed him, and the smile on his face was replaced by gloom. After a while, he said, "Even if the people who were captured before can't give an answer, there are still a few rebels outside. I hope that you will stay alive in the next counterinsurgency. As he spoke, a pair of eyes stared at Guo Rong.
Guo Rong's eyes dodged slightly, and then he responded: "Yes, the last general has written it down, and if he catches a rebel general alive in the future, he will definitely be handed over to the adult." ”
As he could not ask for more details for the time being, Zhong Yu ended his first official meeting with Datong officials. Seeing them respectfully leave the hall, he felt a sense of powerlessness slowly hit his heart, this errand was not easy to do, especially when he wanted to find out.
"Now it seems that it is impossible to gain much from the investigation, and we can only hope for Yang Zhen's secret visit!" Zhong Yu already had a plan in his heart.
And after leaving Zhong Yu's sight, Liu Yingji's face also became a little ugly, and a military attache snorted and said, "It depends on the situation, this Lord Qincha has to be our enemy!" ”
"This can actually be seen in his performance at the reception banquet on his first day in the city." The prefect Shen Nian also said: "Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so ruthless that day and walked away." ”
"It's a bit troublesome now, after all, he's on the orders of the Emperor, how should we deal with it?"
"You don't have to worry so much, this Datong is our territory, even if he is a Qincha, he can't make too many waves. Didn't he want the rebel generals to question? I'll just give him a few when the time comes, but when I ask, it's not necessarily what he wants. Guo Rong said with deep eyes.
"It's an option, but it's not a long-term solution. At present, it seems that only by making him change his mind as soon as possible and stop biting us is the fundamental solution to the problem. Liu Yingji said.
"It's a little harder. In my opinion, maybe it was because they were assassinated in Xin County, so they decided that we wanted to deal with him, so Zhong Qincha was so ruthless, right? Who sent this abominable assassin? Shen Nian guessed.
Guo Rong nodded in agreement: "I also think this is the biggest reason. I wonder if Lord Futai has any countermeasures to this? ”
Liu Yingji sneered: "We are using soft now, hoping that through Yang Zhen, the subordinates of Lord Qincha, he can let him know our goodwill, so as to change his decision." But if he doesn't know how to lift up, and he has to go all the way to the dark, then it's no wonder that we use other methods! ”
"What do you mean?" A trace of murderous intent flashed on Guo Rong's black face.
Liu Yingji glanced at him: "General Guo, you are now an official of the imperial court, not a bandit, so restrain your banditry." This official doesn't have that kind of thought. ”
"Is there any other way to change his decision?"
"Of course, and it should be ready soon." Liu Yingji sold a pass.
Seeing that he refused to reveal, it was difficult for others to continue to ask. At this time, Shen Nian thought of a little more: "My lord, the lower official found out that Yang Zhen, the deputy envoy of the Qin Mission, was not here, do you think he would be ordered by Lord Zhong to go elsewhere to secretly visit the news?" ”
"Nine times out of ten, that's true. But don't worry, I have sent someone to watch outside the Huayan Temple, and as long as the people in the Qincha team leave the temple, there will be people watching. Moreover, there are almost no people in this Datong city who can be asked by them to say anything unfavorable to us. Guo Rong said confidently.
When the others heard this, they put their hanging hearts back.
"Qianhu, there seems to be someone following us behind us." Walking on the crowded streets of Datong, Hu Ge suddenly whispered alertly.
After sending Pan Pingfeng away, Yang Zhen still decided to go around Datong City to see if he could find out some news from the mouths of the people. However, not long after leaving the temple, Hu Ge noticed something strange behind him.
Yang Zhen glanced at his subordinates beside him with satisfaction, it seemed that after a period of experience, this Jinyi Guard Captain, who was still relatively immature at the beginning, had gradually improved. Maybe after going through some big things like this, he will be able to be a qualified hundred.
"Someone stalking us?" Cai Yingyang on the other side heard that his face changed, and he wanted to turn around to find it. But as soon as he moved, he was already pulled by Yang Zhen, who had already prepared: "Don't worry about this, just take care of our own." In fact, as soon as he left the monastery, he already knew that someone was following him, and the methods of these people who followed him were so bad that they could not hide it from his ears and eyes.
"Why? Why didn't the second brother let me teach them a good lesson? Cai Yingyang said curiously: "With these people behind us, how can we investigate things?" ”
Yang Zhen smiled: "You, why are you still so reckless?" It would be useful for me to ask them to follow behind. We are not familiar with the place in Datong City, and we don't know where to start if we want to investigate. But with them it's different. We can tell where to go by their reactions, and it's easier to find the answers we want. ”
"Huh?" At this time, not only Cai Yingyang, but also Hu Ge felt a little surprised that the stalker could still use the stalker like this. Perhaps, only people like Yang Zhen can do this, this is the so-called art master boldness.
Yang Zhen smiled again, and then said to Hu Ge: "You have noticed that we are being followed just now, so let me ask you, how many people have you found following us?" ”
"This ......" Hu Ge recalled carefully, and then said with some hesitation: "It should be three." The three men had been following us since we left the temple, and they were following us at a distance no matter how we went. ”
Yang Zhen nodded slightly: "Actually, it's four." And the other one, in front of us, you left him out because you were only looking behind you. As he spoke, he glanced at a man not far ahead.
"He's been sent to follow us too?" Hu Ge asked with some confusion: "But shouldn't the stalker be behind the person, otherwise how can we know where we are going?" ”
"Stalking, but the university asked, what you said is just the most superficial doorway, just like the three behind us, in fact, it is just used to cover our ears and eyes, even if we get rid of it, it doesn't matter. The person in front of us is the key, he can predict our next direction through our actions, so as to react one step ahead of us. So, in our eyes, he doesn't look like a stalker. ”
"I see. But no matter how powerful he is, he can't escape the eyes of adults. The subordinates really admired it tightly. Hugo gave a heartfelt compliment.
"It's nothing, as long as you're careful enough, there's nothing to hide from you." Yang Zhen said, his steps were paused, and then he led them to a street on the left. Sure enough, at the same time as they turned around, the person in front also turned to the left, if it weren't for Yang Zhen's guidance before, they wouldn't have thought that this person was also watching.
Since he knew that someone was watching him, Yang Zhen decided to use them to show him the way. So the three of them wandered around the city of Datong. On the surface, the three of them were walking aimlessly, but in fact, they were doing a test, judging whether there were any clues about the other party in the direction they chose through the reactions of the people in front of and behind them.
Finally, after several temptations, Yang Zhen found the direction, and the area north of the city was where those stalkers were most afraid that they would pass!
