When Zhu Houzhao and his entourage came to the courtyard, the guard in charge of monitoring came over and quietly reported,

"Report to the lord, there were originally more than 20 big men in this courtyard, but now they are basically all dispatched, and there are only a few people in the courtyard."

"Well, I see, we're going to storm in now and see who's in the way, and there's nothing in the way." Zhu Houzhao said,

Guards around him: "Hmm. "I agreed,

Then, they all swarmed up,

Everyone rushed in quickly, Mr. Wu was not in the yard, only some of the miscellaneous people were there, and there were only two or three people who really knew martial arts, and they were quickly beaten.

When Zhu Hou looked at them and frowned, he immediately interrogated those who were still alive,

Zhu Houzhao looked at a person, seeing that half of his ears were missing, Zhu Houzhao asked him, "Your name." ”

"One-eared." The man answered,

"Tell me, one-eared, why did you think of acting like this tonight?"

"My lord, can I ask who you are, and what kind of action are you referring to?" One-eared said,

"Don't ask about our identity, you remember anyway, if you don't tell the truth, I will kill you, you say, do you still have a lot of actions." Zhu Houzhao asked,

"My lord, most of us tonight have gone to that nunnery, I thought you were talking about the previous actions." One-eared said,

"You say, according to whom and how you are arranging your actions, and how is tonight's tip-off." Zhu Houzhao asked,

"Tonight's wire report was obtained by us wiring to monitor the Gaosheng Inn, and our people saw that person had knocked down our people, so they kept watching, and when she came out, they tracked them down to the nunnery in the mountain, and then the informant gave us a secret report, and our people arranged tonight's action." One-eared said,

Zhu Houzhao understood, it turned out to be like this, fortunately, those informants didn't see the ambush of their guards,

So they acted rashly, and were all wiped out by their own guards,

"Your people are here, who usually manages them." Zhu Houzhao asked,

"During the general exam, it was Mr. Wu who managed it, and now it is managed by Lao Zhang, but he just saw that he couldn't beat you, so he quietly ran away." One-eared said,

It turned out that there were still fish that slipped through the net, Zhu Houzhao thought, that old Zhang slipped away really fast, but sooner or later he was caught.

"That one-eared, you say, how did you do it during the exam, the more detailed the better." Zhu Houzhao said,

Duer looked at Zhu Houzhao and sighed, "That's what they meant, we actually feel a little hurtful, but people have to bow their heads under the eaves, and we have to do it." ”

"Who are they?" Zhu Houzhao asked,

"It's Mr. Wu and Lao Zhang, they have been carrying out the plan." Zhu Houzhao said,

"King Ning hasn't been here." Zhu Houzhao asked,

One-eared trembling all over,

"If you don't, I'll cut off your ears too." Zhu Houzhao said,

"Alas, the prince has also been here a few times, but he has another residence in Nanjing." One-eared said,

"Where is the residence of the prince in Nanjing?" Zhu Houzhao asked,

"At 88 Wuyi Lane." One-eared said,

No. 88 Wuyi Lane, Zhu Houzhao silently wrote it down,

"One-eared, you said, what did you do during the exam?" Zhu Houzhao said,

Duer sighed, "My lord, when we are taking the exam, the informant usually reports some people who seem to be very promising, and then we select some to invite here, and then Mr. Wu comes forward to invite them to dinner, talk together, and then invite them to join our team." "One-eared said,

"How to join your team." Zhu Houzhao asked,

"That is, they have to promise to be loyal to King Ning, and then they will go to various important departments in the future according to King Ning's arrangement, and King Ning is fully responsible for their official affairs." One-eared said,

"That is to say, they were sold to King Ning! How the average scholar behaved. Zhu Houzhao asked,

"Ordinary scholars, some of them agreed with joy on the spot, and the other part hesitated, but the hesitant Mr. Wu threatened them, and they agreed." One-eared said,

"Then you didn't say yes." Zhu Houzhao asked,

"Those who didn't say yes were people who didn't want to live, so they generally couldn't live." One-eared said,

"How do you harm the men who have not answered?" Zhu Houzhao asked,

"We usually go straight to the stun, throw them into the river, and then send people to where they live to say they're home." One-eared said,

"I've heard that you've killed their families." Zhu Houzhao asked,

Duer sighed, "I also feel that it hurts the heavens, because the scholar is missing, and the family will report to the official, so Mr. Wu asked us to kill those disobedient scholars, and then continue to go to their homes, put their whole family in sacks, throw them in the river or bury them." ”

Zhu Houzhao felt that this matter was very outrageous at this moment, he looked at the one ear, his face was pale,

Seeing this, Duer hurriedly said, "My lord, this is not what we meant, please spare us, my lord." ”

"What is your relationship with the government in Jiangnan, say." Zhu Houzhao said,

"Specifically, I don't know very well, I just know that the governor of Jiangsu and the prefect of Nanjing have dealings with King Ning, but I don't know the rest." One-eared said,

Zhu Houzhao basically knew that this stronghold was the place where King Ning used to win over scholars, and it was also the headquarters of his operations in Nanjing.

This speculation can be confirmed from King Ning letting the ghost gang borrow treasures, if it weren't for the acquiescence of those officials, if the ghost gang could be allowed to act like this, the action would be handled as a major case at one time, where would there be so many actions in the future,

Zhu Hou looked at this one-eared man, and felt a little disgusted in his heart,

"Duer, you said, you have done so many hurtful things, what punishment should you receive."

"I, I, I." One-eared stuttered a little,

"Someone's coming, pull it out, kill it." Zhu Houzhao said,

"Slow, spare your life!" One-eared said,

"What do you say, my lord, don't kill me, although I have done a lot of bad things, I have also done good things." One-eared said,

"Good thing, you did good thing." Zhu Houzhao said,

"Yes, I did a good deed, I saved a scholar, and I also saved the body of a scholar." One-eared said,

"Really, what's your name, where is it?" Zhu Houzhao said,

"The scholar I saved is called Liu Sanlang, and I saved the corpse, called Zhang Yilang, you come with me." One-eared said,

Zhu Houzhao was overjoyed, he remembered Wang Wen'er's Lang Jun, called Liu Sanlang, and also remembered Xiangyun's Lang Jun, called Zhang Yilang,
