Chapter 580: Interrogation
"General Xu, there are two places that this official doesn't understand!" It is estimated that there is salt in the formula of Jinchuang Medicine sprinkled on the wound, and it hurts so much that Lotte inhales cold air in his mouth, but it does not prevent Lotte from thinking.
"Adults, until the wound is completely scabbed, please don't wear clothes, so that it will get better quickly!" Xu Wei instructed Lotte after taking the medicine, and said, "My lord, please speak!" ”
"If the mastermind behind the assassination of this official said that he was not a Xia person, then how can he explain that the horse whip in the hand of the Xia princess has a barb, can these assassins be frightened by the horses of the good official and cannot run into the ambush circle they have set up?" Lotte voiced the doubts in his heart.
General Xu thought for a while and replied: "According to the news about the situation in the Xia Ren Palace obtained by his subordinates through the staff pavilion, although Princess Nalando is a little rude, she will not do such a thing as assassinating an adult due to the restrictions of the palace ban, and there are barbs on the horsewhip, and nine times out of ten it is a prank deliberately done by Princess Lando, so that the adult's horses are frightened and see the adults make a fool!" ”
Regarding General Xu's analysis, Lotte nodded reluctantly: "Even if this explanation can stand, how can these assassins who assassinated the official happen to be ambushed in the necessary place of the official?" ”
"It is precisely because of this that the lowly position suspects the Great Liao General Affairs Bureau!" Xu Jiang said, "If the Xia people want to assassinate the adults, they will definitely not need to go through such a lot of trouble, they only need to start between the adults entering and leaving the Xia people's palace, and besides, the assassination of the adults will not benefit half of the Xia people in front of them, and from the perspective of the means used to assassinate the adults, this must be done by the Daliao General Affairs Bureau!"
A group of five, four hidden in the grass, one with a secret arrow sneak attack, this is the standard configuration of the assassination organization under the division of the Daliao General Affairs Bureau, and even the humble position can assert that there are several assassination teams like this around the hunting ground, but the horses under the adult seat happened to be within the assassination range of that assassination team after being frightened! ”
With a little surprise in his eyes, Lotte nodded involuntarily: "These people's hidden skills are not bad, I think the Xia people have already inspected the hunting ground several times before coming, and they actually avoided them!" ”
"These people have received this training since they were young, and they have specialized in the so-called arts." Xu Jiang replied.
"Do you know a lot about the affairs of the Daliao General Affairs Bureau?" Lotte asked, becoming more and more interested in the largest spy organization in the country.
"Knowing oneself and knowing that the other is invincible, although Da Liao is slightly stronger than my Da Song in intelligence, but my Da Song is not ignorant of the other party, and my subordinates believe that if His Majesty is willing to allocate more money and the Imperial City Division, the intelligence work of the Imperial City Division will definitely be better than that of Da Liao!" Xu Jiang replied.
Another word "money", this is the second time that Lotte has said the word "money" from the mouth of General Xu because of the intelligence.
At this time, Xu Jiang couldn't help but get excited, and asked Lotte: "Does Lord Zhongshu know about the 'Qingli Coin' during the reign of Renzong in this dynasty?" ”
Lotte nodded, with a look of uncertainty on his face, and said: "This official remembers that during the Renzong Dynasty, because of the land of Guannan, the relationship between my Great Song Dynasty and the Liao people became tense again, and finally the rich old man went to the Liao State to negotiate peace, and ended with an increase in the New Year's coin, which made our dynasty humiliated!" ”
"It's infuriating to talk about it!" Xu Jiang was filled with righteous indignation, and his voice couldn't help but get louder, "In order not to start a war with the Liao people, this dynasty drew up three peace plans that could be accepted by Emperor Renzong. ”
"Can you buy news with money?" Lotte asked.
"There will be brave men under the heavy reward, and there are a few people in the world who do not love money!" Xu Jiang said, "Da Liao, Xia people, there are many eunuchs and palace maids in the palace who serve beside the emperor, and they naturally know a lot about the major affairs of these two countries. ”
Speaking of this, General Xu added, "The Staff Pavilion used this method to find out the news in the Xia Palace. ”
Lotte exclaimed: "There are thousands of eunuchs in the palace now, and it is inevitable that there will be mixed results. In this way, isn't it more dangerous in my Great Song Imperial City? ”
Xu Jiang said: "Lord Zhongshu and rest assured, with the experience of the rich and rich old man, the inner servants around His Majesty and the eunuchs in the palace have been strictly inspected by the Imperial City Division, before His Royal Highness King Yun promoted the Imperial City Division, Tong Guan Tong Shuai, Tan Zhi and Tan Shuai have all promoted the Imperial City Division, so they are naturally cautious in employing people, and besides, the Son of Heaven has always been good to the people who are waiting around him, how can these internal servants be greedy for small profits and betray the official family. ”
Lotte thinks about it, Huizong Zhao Ji is really good to the eunuchs around him, and he uses it a lot, making these eunuchs more powerful than the prime ministers and civil officials in the court, and even the civil and military officials have to look at their faces.
It can be said that during the period of Huizong of the Northern Song Dynasty, it was the most comfortable time for the eunuchs of the Song Dynasty.
Thinking of this, Lotte looked at General Xu and asked, "If the money is enough, can the intelligence work of the Great Song Dynasty be comparable to that of the Great Liao?" ”
General Xu replied: "Xiaguan can guarantee that as long as there is money, any information about the Liao and Xia people, Xiaguan can get it!" ”
"This official not only wants the Liao and Xia people, but also the Jurchens!" Lotte said, "As for the money issue, don't worry, after going to Biandu, this official will find a way for you!" ”
"Thank you, sir!" Xu Jiang hurriedly replied.
……
"Anyway, who sent you to assassinate our Zhongshu Lord?"
One of the rooms in the post house was brightly lit, and Xu Jiang led a group of Imperial City Division's subordinates around a man in black who was wounded, sweaty on his face, and bound by ropes.
In the face of General Xu's questioning, the injured man in black just closed his eyes and remained silent.
Seeing that the man in black was silent, one of General Xu's subordinates shouted beside him: "What kind of dumb are we Lord Xu asking you to say!" ”
"If you don't say it, then don't blame Xu for being polite!" General Xu laughed and instructed his subordinates: "The old rule is to do things, first the leather whip is dipped in salt water, if you don't say it, it's a soldering iron, and if you don't say it, it's a hand peel, a hand tendon ......."
Everyone knows about these things in the torture, although they are often on their lips, but if it is applied to anyone, it will be enough for anyone to drink a pot, and the man in black couldn't help but open his eyes when he heard this, and asked sharply: "If you deal with me like this, aren't you afraid that we will use more severe means to repay the people who get your Great Song in the future?" ”
Hearing the man in black speak, General Xu laughed and walked to the man in black: "You finally spoke, sure enough, it was the accent of the north, if you didn't guess wrong, Your Excellency is from the Da Liao General Affairs Bureau, and the assassination of Lord Le is also your Da Liao's master?" ”
Hearing this, the man in black was silent.
Looking at the man in black, Xu Jiang sneered: "This is also your own fault, who let you people do something to my important members of the Great Song Dynasty, that is, to skin your people and send them to Da Liao, it is estimated that the officials of Da Liao will not say anything?" ”
The man in black snorted coldly: "If you want to kill, kill it, don't talk nonsense, you don't want to get half a word out of my mouth!" ”
"Since you don't eat and drink in the toast, don't blame Xu for being polite!" Xu Jiang smiled gloomily and instructed left and right: "Brothers, let him taste the basic things first......
Before Zhao Kai raised the Imperial City Division, the Imperial City Division only had the power to investigate and not torture, but there were still some lynchings in private.
After receiving General Xu's orders, several of his subordinates were to be executed according to General Xu's orders.
"Quite backbone!" Just as they were about to be executed, a voice came, and Lotte appeared in the house.
"Lord Zhongshu!"
Seeing Lotte, Xu Jiang saluted with several of his subordinates.
"Lord Zhongshu has not recovered from his injuries, why did he come here?" General Xu hurriedly asked, and then instructed his subordinates: "Hurry up and get a soft chair for the adult, the injury on the adult's body is not healed yet!" ”
The man in black, who had been tied to the torture rack, opened his eyes and looked at Lotte, and then closed it again.
Nodding to his subordinates, Lotte walked up to the man in black, looked up and down and asked, "People from the Daliao General Affairs Bureau?" ”
Hearing Lotte's words, the man in black just opened his eyes and looked at Lotte without saying a word.
"Our mid-year scholar asks you something!" Seeing that the man in black was silent, Xu Jiang shouted on the side, rolled up his sleeves and was about to move.
"Forget it!" Lotte waved his hand, and at this time, someone from behind brought the chair, and Lotte sat up and said, "If you can't ask anything useful from his mouth, why bother him!" ”
Seeing Lotte talking like this, the man in black shouted: "If you want to kill, you will kill, if you want to chop, Hugh will be here to fake benevolence and righteousness, and if you people are holding it, Lao Tzu will be a death, so you don't want to beat Lao Tzu and my idea!" ”
"Rude in front of my family, you can't find death?" Xu Jiang was furious when he heard this.
Hearing this, Lotte smiled, waved his hand and said: "He just wants to die, if you kill him, it will be his will!" ”
The reason why Lotte laughed was because Xu Jiangyan called himself "my family's adult", and it was obvious that Xu Jiang had regarded himself as his backbone, loyally devoted himself, and used it for himself.
Looking at the man in black, Lotte said indifferently: "This official doesn't ask your name, and I don't want to know what kind of clan you are or what official position you occupy, this official just wants you to give a message to your superiors and this official, maybe this time you will not die, and you will soar in the future!" ”
"Don't want to coax me with clever words, I won't let you do it!" Listening to Lotte's words, he spoke kindly and plainly, and the words of the man in black were not as tough as before.
"The party members are at a disadvantage at the moment, and they are anxious to negotiate peace with the Great Song Dynasty, and some officials of the Great Song Dynasty are also anxious to negotiate peace with the Xia people, and then form an alliance with the Jurchens to attack the Great Liao in the north and south, if the Song and Xia negotiations are successful, the situation in the Great Liao will be critical!" Lotte said slowly, and glanced at the man in black again: "You don't want your country to be destroyed like this, right?" ”
Lotte's words made the man in black widen his eyes.
"Put him down, loosen his ties!" Lotte instructed General Xu.
After the man in black put it down, Lotte looked at the other party and said indifferently: "So this official gives you a chance to make meritorious contributions, which is also equivalent to giving you a future, let you go back and pass a word to your boss in Xia Guo for Le, just say that Le wants to meet him, I don't know if he is interested, dare or not?" ”
Hearing Lotte's words, the man in black who was moving his hands and feet couldn't help but be stunned, and then the eyes flashed, showing the complexity in his heart.
Looking at each other, Lotte continued: "You said to your boss that Le doesn't like to deal with timid people, and he doesn't like to deal with people who don't have courage, if your boss doesn't have the courage, it's all Le who hasn't said anything!" ”
