Sky Wolf smiled slightly: "To live up to the mission, Chen Dacheng promised to bring people over tomorrow to join the army." ”

Qi Jiguang laughed: "Great, thanks to you this time, oh, by the way, Hua Changmin has been invited here by me, and he is imprisoned with his master and subordinates, and he can't pass on the letter." ”

Sky Wolf nodded: "The next step is to interrogate Shi Wenliu." I can't wait. ”

Shi Wenliu was very unlucky, since he was taken down, he had tied up those rude sergeants, stuffed a stinky sock in his mouth, and covered his eyes with a thick black cloth, which was a hardship that he had not suffered for many years, and even he could feel that a few jade rings on his fat hands were touched by those who were soldiers.

So despite the stinky socks stuffed in his mouth, Shi Wenliu still kept howling like a wild boar, not to let people loosen him a little, but to get his treasures back. The hay under him seemed so prickly at this time that the fat on his body was extremely uncomfortable, and he writhed like a ball of meat.

Suddenly, Shi Wenliu's eyes lit up, and the black cloth was torn off, which made him a little uncomfortable for a while who had not seen the sun for a day, and blinked his eyes vigorously, only to find that it was already night at this time, and the light came from an oil lamp in the hand of a white-faced burly man.

And this man is the man he knows, the god-like man on the battlefield during the day, the terrifying Grim Reaper who kills people like cutting thatch, and scares even the murderous Japanese robbers. Shi Wenliu was directly frightened by this man's crazy killing during the day, and then watched this man run towards him. He tried his best to escape, but he didn't expect it to fall into his hands in the end, and he thought that his head might blow him up like those would-be robbers. Shi Wenliu involuntarily started to tremble.

The white-faced man's face was very calm, and he couldn't see any expression, he sat on a matza, stretched out his hand and pulled away the stinky socks in Shi Wenliu's mouth, Shi Wenliu suddenly felt that the stench that had tormented him all day disappeared, and even the air became so fresh, and he breathed fresh air greedily. But he couldn't care about it anymore, and he didn't dare to mention half a word about his jade ring.

The Heavenly Wolf opened his mouth, and his voice revealed a hint of coldness: "Shi Wenliu." Do you know who I am? ”

Shi Wenliu gritted his teeth and said, "I have seen you, you are Qi Jiguang's person." ”

The Heavenly Wolf shook his head and took out Hu Zongxian's token: "You are wrong. I was sent directly by Governor Hu to assist General Qi. It is not General Qi's subordinates. ”

Shi Wenliu's face changed: "Is it Hu Butang's person?" Then we are our own people, brother, let me go, the benefits are indispensable to you. ”

Sky Wolf laughed: "Oh, why are you and I our own people?" I want to hear it. ”

Shi Wenliu said with a smile: "Hu Butang was recommended by Yan Ge Lao, and Yan Ge Lao has always taken care of me, Hangzhou Mansion's political envoy Zheng Daren and according to the inspection envoy He Da You should know that Yan Ge Lao sent them to Zhejiang to assist Hu Butang." and Hu Butang can also be regarded as the same brother, you work for Hu Butang. I help Master Zheng and Master He run errands, isn't this my own person? ”

The wolf quietly said "oh": "So, what you did here in Yiwu with the Japanese Kou was also instructed by Lord Zheng and Lord He?" ”

Shi Wenliu reacted suddenly, this matter must not be admitted, he hurriedly said: "No, no, no, no, Lord Zheng and Lord He don't know about it, but they authorized me to mine here in Yiwu, and I have already read the official documents and instructions to the Huaxian Order of this county, if you don't believe it, you can go to the Huaxian Order to check." ”

The wolf smiled, took out a roll of official documents from his arms, shook it in front of Shi Wenliu, and by the light of the fire, Shi Wenliu saw clearly that this was the official letter he had begged for, and quickly nodded and said: "Yes, yes, yes, this is the official letter, you see that I am not lying." ”

The Celestial Wolf put away the official document and sneered: "But does this official document allow you to communicate and kill the local people?" ”

Cold sweat began to break out on Shi Wenliu's head, and he suddenly realized that the person in front of him definitely did not look like an ordinary officialdom partner, and the person who came was not good, so Shi Wenliu hurriedly said: "This adult, I don't know what to call it?" ”

The wolf smiled: "You can call me Lord Lang, the name of the official, I can't sue you yet." ”

Shi Wenliu nodded: "Lord Lang, you are a person from Hu Butang, you should know the stakes in this, Hu Butang needs military salaries to fight wars, and it costs a lot of money to train a new army, Lord Zheng and Lord He looked at Hu Butang so hard, so they wanted to make a contribution, the southeast is the important tax area of the imperial court, and the silk and tax silver handed over to the treasury cannot be moved, so I thought of this method, open a mine in Yiwu to dig silver, and the silver obtained can also be used as military expenses for Hu Butang to fight the Japanese." ”

Sky Wolf sneered, "Silver? This thing has been a scam from the beginning, don't you know it, let me ask you, who is the Taoist priest who told you that there is a silver mine here, if there is really a silver mine here, the locals will not know about it for thousands of years? ”

Shi Wenliu's tongue began to knot, and the beads of sweat came out more, but he still pretended to be calm and said forcefully: "Lord Lang, you can't say that, these ignorant natives in the local area, guarding Baoshan, don't know, they can only hunt for firewood, how do you know mining, this looks at the ore veins and dragon qi, only the cultivators have a discerning eye, understand feng shui, can you see it, besides, didn't I follow what he said, didn't I bring some miners here to dig out silver ore?" ”

The wolf suddenly laughed loudly, the sound shook the air flow in the tent, Shi Wenliu's eardrums were also bulging, the wolf finished laughing, and shouted at Shi Wenliu: "Okay, you sweet-tongued profiteer, before this official tried you, he had already asked clearly from your subordinates, those so-called miners who were mining were all pretended by your guards, and those silver ores were also prepared by you early in the morning, you just want to take the opportunity to circle this land, thinking that I am a three-year-old child, and I am a deceive to you like this?" ”

Shi Wenliu's heart sank suddenly, he gritted his teeth, and said, "Lord Lang, you and I are both errand runners below, and we can only listen to orders from above. What's the point of being so clear? Could it be that Hu Butang let the widows stop fighting, and he will turn his face with Lord Zheng and Lord He over this trivial matter? ”

There was a murderous flash in the wolf's eyes, and Shi Wenliu trembled: "A trivial matter? You colluded with the Japanese Invaders. Instigated the people of the neighboring counties to come here and fight with the people of Yiwu, protracted, thousands of dead and tens of thousands of wounded, you say this is a trivial matter? Don't talk about you as a small businessman, it's Zheng Bichang. He Maocai, their heads are not enough to cut off. I can record this supply of yours now and send it to the emperor. I'll see if your Lord Zheng and Lord He will come out to protect you when the time comes!"

Shi Wenliu shouted anxiously: "Lord Lang, don't." There is something to discuss. Negotiable. ”

The wolf took out another confession from his arms and put it down in front of Shi Wenliu, so that he could see it clearly, this was the false confession of Shi Wenliu who was confessed by those guards when he interrogated Shi Wenliu's guards in the afternoon, and of course, Shi Wenliu has recruited nearby people in the past few months, recruited bandits in Fujian and Zhejiang, and finally developed into recruiting Japanese robbers to come over and fight. It's all vivid, at the bottom of the confession. It was the handprints pressed by more than a dozen guards, all red and crooked, but at this moment, in Shi Wenliu's eyes, it was tantamount to a spell urging life.

The Sky Wolf said coldly, "Do you see it?" These are the confessions of your subordinates, you just don't recruit them, as long as this confession reaches Hu Butang, or the emperor's hands, then what will happen to you, I don't need to say more. ”

Shi Wenliu almost cried: "Lang, Lord Lang, you must save the villain's life, the villain just wants to make some money, how dare he have the heart of rebellion, he is really sent by someone, you have to investigate." ”

Sky Wolf snorted heavily: "Who instructed you, do you still want to cover for him now?" You also know that you are just a pawn, and others will abandon you without even blinking an eyelid!"

Shi Wenliu moved his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but when the words came to his mouth, he hesitated again, his eyes flashed, and his chest was also rising and falling violently, obviously doing a very fierce ideological struggle.

Sky Wolf sneered: "It's none other than Zheng Bichang, or He Maocai, is there anyone else?" ”

Shi Wenliu gritted his teeth: "Lord Lang, don't ask, you can't bear this matter, if it's just Lord Zheng and Lord He, then I have nothing to hide, just let me do this, you can't afford to provoke it, and Hu Butang can't afford to provoke it." If you report my affairs now, at most I will be beheaded, and my family can be saved, but if I offend that nobleman, I am afraid that my whole family will die and have no place to bury!"

Heavenly Wolf said calmly: "Isn't it Yan Shifan, are you afraid that he will be like that?" ”

Shi Wenliu's pupils contracted suddenly: "I didn't say anything, this is your own guess, it has nothing to do with me!"

Heavenly Wolf sighed, his expression became calm and resolute: "Others are afraid of Yan Shifan, but I'm not afraid, do you think I was sent by Hu Butang and his subordinates?" Tell you the truth, this is who I really am. As he spoke, he took out the gold medal of the Jinyiwei from his bosom and stopped in front of Shi Wenliu's eyes, so that he could see it clearly.

Shi Wenliu's breath was about to freeze, he never dreamed that it would be Jinyiwei who investigated his case, and he knew Jinyiwei's methods, so he was so frightened that he peed his pants, and a foul smell filled the entire tent.

The wolf frowned, put away the gold medal, and kicked Shi Wenliu: "Look at your cowardly appearance, the official was so scared that he peed as soon as he revealed his identity, and there was no point in it." ”

Shi Wenliu didn't care about being embarrassed, and the fat head kept making intimate contact with the ground: "Adult, the little one doesn't know anything, it's all the villain's nonsense just now, please let the villain go." ”

Sky Wolf sneered: "Let you go? So who's going to let me go? Now you should know the severity of the problem, what do we Jinyiwei do, you should know very well, if it weren't for the big case of conspiracy here, how could I come all the way here to investigate the case. Hu Butang can only cooperate with me, not to mention Zheng Bichang and He Maocai. You said that Yan Shifan can kill your whole family, aren't you afraid that our brocade clothes will destroy your nine clans? What the hell is going on, tell me quickly!"

Shi Wenliu raised his head: "Lord Lang, I know how powerful you are in Jinyiwei, and I also know your methods, but you have to think clearly, how can the elder of the pavilion be so easy to bring you down, if you say Lord Zheng and Lord He, you will give it up, but if you say that the elder of the small pavilion." Even your commander-in-chief Lu may not dare to touch it. If the little one confesses to you today, he will let the little pavilion know about this matter in the future. Will there still be a way to live? ”

Sky Wolf laughed, and the cold murderous intent in his eyes flashed: "Are you only afraid that Xiao Ge Lao will not give you a way to live, are you not afraid that we will not give you a way to live now?" Here in Zhejiang, who is in trouble, who is not in trouble, who is saving the country. I've got to figure it out, you know everything you've told me, maybe I can save your life. ”

Shi Wenliu's eyes suddenly lit up: "My lord." I heard you right, are you willing to save my life? ”

Sky Wolf nodded: "You are just a pawn, the emperor has no interest in caring about the life or death of people like you, this time you are instructed by others." I'm clear about that, too. Now I just need to know who instructed you, how you were able to get in touch with these widows, and what happened to the incident in Yiwu, give me a clue. ”

Shi Wenliu was still a little hesitant, and he didn't speak. The wolf was a little anxious in his heart, and roared suddenly: "What the hell are you hesitating, if you are stubborn to the end, I don't bother to rub against you." I went back to Hangzhou first to arrest Zheng Bichang and He Maocai, and then I will give you a big punishment. I'd like to see how tough your fat can be. ”

Shi Wenliu hurriedly said: "Slowly, slowly, Lord Lang, I can say it all, but can you be the master of this matter, if you know the inside story, can you find out?" ”

The wolf said coldly: "I came here to investigate this case, no matter who instigates it, no matter how big the officials are involved, I will truthfully report to the emperor, if you explain thoroughly, then the emperor may be happy to pardon your capital crime." ”

"I might as well reveal a little more information to you, the emperor is now very dissatisfied with Yan Song's father and son's behavior of controlling the government and installing party henchmen everywhere, if it weren't for Hu Zongxian sitting here in the southeast, and some other key departments are also controlled by Yan Dang's people, they would have moved their father and son a long time ago, now if you have evidence of Yan Shifan's crime, you can just help the emperor make up his mind, he can tolerate Yan Dang's corruption, but he must not tolerate their collusion and rebellion, understand?"

Shi Wenliu gritted his teeth, finally made up his mind, and said: "Okay, I'll believe in the lord once, my Shi family has been doing business in Zhejiang for generations, and has always befriended important ministers from the Zhejiang government to the court, after Yan Song came to power more than ten years ago, I found a way to befriend Yan Shifan, and he has always taken care of me, so my business in Zhejiang can become bigger and bigger, and it will become more and more prosperous." ”

Tianluo waved his hand impatiently: "I'm not interested in hearing this, I don't want to care about how you colluded with Zheng Bichang and He Mao, let alone listen to your family history, you just say what happened in Yiwu this time, just do it." ”

Shi Wenliu blinked his eyes and said: "This time, it started from half a year ago, when I was entrusted by Lord Zheng and Lord He to carry the money they gave to Yan Ge Lao this year, and arrived in Ge Lao's hometown of Jiangxi Fenyi, but I didn't expect Xiao Ge Lao to wait for me there, since I met in the capital many years ago, I haven't seen Xiao Ge Lao for a long time, and I was flattered all of a sudden. ”

"Xiao Ge Lao was at that time, he told me to help him do one thing, he said that Yiwu in Zhejiang, Babao Mountain, is a treasure of feng shui, there is dragon energy, and he wants to occupy this place as a house for their father and son in the future, and asked me if there is any way to circle this place."

"At that time, I said that the best way to occupy this kind of mountain range is to open a mine, but the minerals here in Yiwu belong to the government, and I can't occupy it alone, and many Yiwu people are digging iron ore here.

"At that time, Xiao Ge Lao didn't say anything, just asked me to go back, and it wasn't until a month later that he wrote a letter and passed it to me through a Taoist priest, in which I asked me to play a double reed with the Taoist priest, first asked the Taoist priest to say in public that there was a silver mine here, and then I sent my men to dig and take out the silver ore prepared in advance, and then I reported to the government, so that Lord Zheng and Lord He came forward and gave me an official document to open a mine in the mountains."

"Alas, things were going smoothly, but I didn't expect the Yiwu people here to be so brutal that they organized to fight against us, and at first I just wanted to find some gangsters nearby to beat them away, but I didn't expect that the more I fought, the bigger the battle, until now it is so out of control."

Heavenly Wolf's heart moved, and he asked, "Did Yan Shifan tell you at the beginning that he would send a wolf to help you?" Is it true that he wants this land just for some dragon spirit? Where is that Taoist priest now? ”

Shi Wenliu shook his head: "Xiao Ge Lao only asked me to enclose the land at first, but he didn't say anything else. As for the Taoist priest, I don't know where he came from, and he left after that thing was done. Later, things got big here, and I was a little scared, so I went to find Lord Zheng and Lord He, but they said that the Huaxian Order here was their own people, and asked me to let it go, so I also spent a lot of money to recruit a large number of scoundrels in several nearby counties. ”

"Until three days ago, someone suddenly came to me with the token of Xiao Ge Lao, oh, that person is the first bearded scar-faced widow to kill you today, I was scared half to death, this is the crime of extermination, but he took Xiao Ge Lao's token, I have to believe it. Then he said that Xiaoge sent them to help us deal with those Yiwu people, and asked me to find a way to mix them up among the bandits and act together. (To be continued......)
