"All MI9 investigation reports are here?"

Almost as soon as Zhou Quan returned to his residence, a stack of reports on the Assassin's background and assassination process had been delivered to his desk. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Zhou Quan glanced at it, and frowned slightly: It's too little.

The six guys who were caught, it stands to reason that they shouldn't have only such a confession.

"That's all." Du Gou'er said to Zhou Quan with certainty: "The origin of these six people is very clear, if it weren't for this, they would not have entered the university town. ”

In the eyes of outsiders, the university city of Xinyingtian is an undefended place, and anyone can enter freely, but in fact, the spies of MI9 and the patrol station have already checked the roots of these people, and if there is any suspicion of danger, they will have to be taken away, and many people have even disappeared.

And these six scholars, all of whom have a very simple net worth: they have studied hard for many years, and they are too students in the Great Song Dynasty, because now the small court of the Great Song Dynasty has reformed to China and has abolished Taixue and Guozijian, so they came to Yingtian to participate in the upcoming polemic here, trying to re-establish the imperial examination system.

Where are their ancestors, what are their fathers' careers, and who do they associate with...... All of these are clean, even their usual tendencies, and they are not inclined to the old school.

But they did the assassination!

"When will I get their confessions?" Zhou Quan said after reading their information.

Du Gou'er replied with certainty: "Within three days, they will recruit everything." What I find a little tricky is that the crossbow they used for assassination was made in Jeju and was originally equipped in the Guards! ”

When he said this, his expression was a little worried.

With different identities and different visions, Du Gouer is no longer a scoundrel who follows Zhou Fu, but the person in charge of MI9, which is very valued by Zhou Quan. He is very reliable, and does not rely on his friendship with the two generations of the Zhou family to act out of line, but he is crazy and fierce to the enemies who threaten Zhou Quan, so some people secretly call him a mad dog by Zhou Quan's side.

What he meant, Zhou Quan understood.

"Are you afraid that there are still people in the army who have anything to do with this?" Zhou Quan asked.

"Yes."

Because of Song Xingfeng's affairs, Zhou Quan carried out a "purge" in the Huaxia Army, and at least 30 generals at all levels went to military courts, most of whom were found guilty. In such cases, the only result of guilt is death.

Even if he is not guilty, he will fade out of the Huaxia Army because of the stain on his resume, and it is good to be able to go to the local place to take up an idle position, and the biggest possibility is to retire from now on and be unknown.

Although this is not painful for the entire Huaxia Army, if you think about it carefully, you will find that these people are the "private individuals" of some high-ranking generals of the Huaxia Army.

Zhou Quan did not distrust Yue Fei, Han Shizhong and other generals, on the contrary, he had absolute trust in Yue, Han and others, but with the increase in the number of people below, not all the generals were personally trained by him, and after being separated by one or even two or three layers, the respect of these generals for him also decreased, and it was inevitable that they would want to tie the yellow robe to a certain chief official for their own wealth.

A purge of this scale will naturally cause a shock in the Huaxia Army, but with Zhou Quan's prestige, this kind of shock is still under control and will not affect the combat effectiveness of the Huaxia Army. But if the assassination incident is investigated in depth and it is found that it is related to the Huaxia Army, then a new purge is inevitable, and under two consecutive rounds of purges, no matter how high Zhou Quan's prestige is, I am afraid that it will cause panic.

Zhou Quan touched his chin and thought for a while: "Judging from the situation at that time, it wasn't me who they wanted to assassinate...... After some interrogation and confession, let's decide on the next step. ”

He hoped that this matter would not have anything to do with the Huaxia Army.

Du Gou'er responded, understood what Zhou Quan meant, and left in a hurry.

When he left the residence, his handler came forward and put the big cloak on him, but he stretched out his hand to block it, and said self-deprecatingly: "No, no, every time I see you, I will be full of fever." ”

This is the truth, for someone as close as Du Gou'er, the mystery on Zhou Quan has not faded, but has become stronger. Correspondingly, it is the pressure that Zhou Quan brings to the people around him, saying that "not angry and self-authority" is a little light, Du Gouer always feels that his former nephew, the current king, has an overwhelming power on his body, which makes people feel awe in the depths of his heart.

Awe brings tension.

He Jingzhi is very nervous now.

"How can this be, how can this be, how can it be MI9?"

Locked in a dark dungeon, he muttered.

The space in the dungeon was small, he was alone, and his companions didn't know where to go. In the darkness, he could only hear his own breathing, and occasionally his own heartbeat.

He was one of the students who carried out the assassination this time, and he had been in Bianjing for a long time, and from the ears of some high-ranking officials and nobles with whom he interacted, he knew about the organization of the "MI9", and in particular, he heard some rumors about this organization, which made him feel terrified.

In his opinion, the greatest danger of their assassination was the patrol, and they had made all the preparations, not only disrupting the situation at that time, but also buying off the manpower during the patrol.

But in the end, it was not the patrols who arrested them, those who wore the clothes of the people, their movements were rough but neat, and all the tricks they prepared were child's play. On the surface, they were captured by the "righteous and courageous" and handed over to the patrol, but in fact, when they arrived at the Yamen, they were immediately asked to leave by the MI9 people!

Why MI9?

He Jingzhi was puzzled, of course he didn't know that Zhou Quan was actually present when they assassinated, and their assassination was also believed to be against Zhou Quan.

"I'm going to hold on no matter what...... It would be too humiliating to endure at least a few rounds of torture, and it would be too humiliating to confess as soon as you opened your mouth. This thought came to He Jingzhi's heart, but he was immediately suppressed, no matter what, he could not confess, even if he faced MI9, as long as they did not confess, this assassination would only be limited to a small area, if it was a confession......

At this moment, there was finally a sound outside, breaking He Jingzhi's contemplation, and then, a light appeared above, and the door to the underground was opened.

He Jingzhi saw a stout old man walk down, looking like a butcher.

"Wronged, sir, I was wronged!" Although he didn't know who this person was, He Jingzhi still shouted that he was wronged.

Du Gou'er came to him, unhurried, and smiled: "My name is Du Gou'er, you should have heard my name." ”

As soon as these words came out, He Jingzhi's face was already shocked.

Just as Du Gou'er was in awe of Zhou Quan, He Jingzhi was also in awe of MI9 and its leader Du Gou'er, who had the nickname "Mad Dog".

Therefore, when Du Gou'er appeared in front of him and told him his identity, He Jingzhi trembled, completely lacking the courage he had before.

He had thought that he would be forced to give in after surviving several rounds of torture and showing unyielding courage.

But as soon as Du Gou'er's eyes turned on him, his feet became weak, and as soon as he opened his mouth to ask, he was already on his knees.

"I'll move, I'll move, I'll say anything, don't kill me, don't kill me!"

He Jingzhi's cry made Du Gou'er's eyes widen, this guy dared to assassinate Zhou Quan, why was he so spineless?

Immediately, his mind changed: It seems that these guys really didn't go to assassinate Zhou Quan for the purpose.

That's strange, what's the point of using a crossbow that has been retired from the army to shoot a scholar like Wang Lin and a child like Lu You?

"There are six of you." Without letting the other party confess directly, Du Gou'er first stretched out the thumb and little finger of his right hand, and said slowly: "Only three people survived because of meritorious service, and the other three must die." ”

He Jingzhi was excited, if all six people died, he would still be more balanced in his heart, but if three of them could live, it would be different.

If you don't hate the widow but hate the inequality, why can others live, but you have to die?

"You're the third person I'm interrogating." Du Gou'er said again.

This pressure came just right, He Jingzhi didn't know if the two people in front of him had already been recruited, he had put away any luck and decided to seize this opportunity at all costs.

A chance to live.

Du Gou'er heard this guy's confession, and his expression remained unchanged, but he began to mumble in his heart.

A group of students who were dissatisfied with the abolition of the imperial examination system thought that they saw the conspiracy behind the "national polemic", so they were so indignant that they decided to assassinate the scholars involved in the matter and blame Zhou Quan for the purpose of sabotaging the polemic......

Du Gouer believes in this to have a ghost!

But judging from He Jingzhi's performance, this guy didn't lie.

Behind this, there must be an article!

"Whose idea was it to shoot a child?" After He Jingzhi paused, Du Gou'er asked.

"Ah...... Come to think of it, it seems to be Lujan...... Yes, it's him, he said that if there are children around, it's better to shoot one of them, and then it will shock the world! ”

Zhou Quan connived at the assassins to assassinate the Confucian students, and the assassins killed innocents indiscriminately, resulting in the misfortune of a child—this was the usual method of these scholars in the past. Du Gou'er sneered, but raised his vigilance in his heart.

From the words confessed by the other party, he smelled the smell of conspiracy.

"And one last question, where did the hand crossbow come from?" He asked.

"Luyan, it was Luyan who brought it, and we asked him, and he said that he received it from his hometown...... He is a native of Xiangzhou. "The way of Ho Jing.

Sangju?

He Jingzhicai didn't believe that the man named Lu Yang could get this kind of hand crossbow from Xiangzhou, which originated from the predecessor of the Huaxia Army. In fact, even if the Huaxia Army has adopted muskets now, it is still equipped with many hand crossbows.

However, this place in Xiangzhou is somewhat interesting, this is Yue Fei's hometown, and it is also the base camp of the Han family.

Moreover, there is another place that makes Du Gou'er feel that something is wrong - can just one assassination destroy Zhou Quan's national polemic plan?

Full of flaws!
