Chapter 50 is full of branches
Qin Fei immediately found an opportunity to slip around and slap the horse, coaxing Liu Xiwei to smile crookedly. After sending the Zuo disciples back to the mansion, everyone returned to Yingyang Jun's mansion to wait for news, and stayed up until the early morning of the second day, when Sun Zhe and Sun Le returned to the mansion in the dust.
Liu Xiwei hurriedly said: "How?" ”
Sun Le said: "We took the heirloom jade pendant of the leader of the thieves to the black market and pretended to sell it, and sure enough, we lured the other party out, and then followed the old nest to catch turtles in an urn." ”
Liu Xiwei waved his hand and said, "Don't talk about those useless ones, have you caught their leader?" ”
Sun Zhe continued: "The leader was caught, but those thieves seemed to see our intentions, and when they saw that they couldn't resist, they committed suicide one after another. Less than thirty people were brought back. The leader almost killed himself by biting his tongue, and his subordinates strangled him with a strip of cloth and threw him in his cell. ”
Liu Xiwei's eyes were split, and he said angrily: "Torture this gentleman!" A group of traitors who violate the ban with martial arts still dare to be heroes! ”
Xiang Chonghua couldn't help but respect these thieves in his heart, and stepped forward and said, "Your Excellency is angry. These heroes eat soft rather than hard, wouldn't it be even worse if they were killed? ”
Liu Xiwei said: "Then use poison, Benjun has his own poison that makes them unable to survive and die!" ”
Qin Fei's expression moved, and he stepped forward and said: "My subordinates have a plan, maybe they can ask something from the mouths of those captives, as long as someone loosens their mouths, the leader will not be as hard as he is now." ”
Liu Xiwei turned his anger into joy and said, "Say it quickly!" ”
Qin Fei looked around and smiled silently. Liu Xiwei immediately waved his men back, leaving only Xiang Chonghua, Sun Le, and Sun Zhe.
Qin Fei said: "There are fine works in the king's mansion, and the subordinates have to guard against it." ”
Liu Xiwei said: "It's okay. Let's talk about it. ”
Qin Fei said: "This matter must be personally taken care of by the two grandson brothers, and no one else must be allowed to touch it." ”
Sun Le and Sun Zhe responded in unison.
Qin Fei said: "These heroes are hard-hearted, but the harder they are, the more they can't tolerate unfair treatment. So we can divide them into two groups, one group to eat and drink, and the other to eat chaff and vegetables, and to whip and abuse them at every turn. Then we spread rumors that some of the people who eat and drink well have surrendered to Yingyangjun. In this way, the guilty party will naturally be unable to bear it. At this time, tell them that the king will behead them immediately, but if anyone is willing to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, they can also avoid death and be reused. ”
Liu Xiwei clapped his hands and applauded, saying, "In this way, there are always people who can't resist the temptation!" Just do what Mr. Qin does! However, keep in mind that if someone is willing to surrender, they must record their confessions separately and then check the confessions. ”
The Sun brothers all took the order.
Qin Fei said: "We take the thief, the prince will find out sooner or later, but we can't let him find out now." ”
Liu Xiwei said: "This is easy. That straw bag is just a reckless man without the assistance of Ling Yin and Da Sima, and Benjun can scare him into acting rashly as long as he uses some means. ”
Xiang Chonghua hesitated: "If those people are really willing to surrender, can the king spare them?" ”
Liu Xiwei didn't answer, just talked about him left and right.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and the thieves who were assigned to the "abuse group" were really indignant, and some people continued to express their willingness to surrender. There were more and more confessions handed in, but because the leader was personally responsible for the attack on King Qi, there was still no such explanation.
Qin Fei picked out two confessions and said to Sun Le: "Show this to their leader, he has been on hunger strike for three days, and now he must be confused, as long as he sees the handwriting of his cronies, I am afraid he will not be able to support it." Stretching, he pushed open the window and took a breath of humid air and said, "Since I arrived in Qi Country, I really haven't stopped for a day, and I am more tired than I was in the mountains that day." ”
Xiang Chonghua said with a smile: "At that time, I was the one who hunted, found caves, chopped firewood, and fetched water. ”
Qin Fei said with emotion: "You did not hesitate to take risks for me three times and twice, no matter what happens in the future, you are my Qin Fei's best friend." ”
Xiang Chonghua smiled: "Why are you as sour as a girl?" ”
Qin Fei said gloomily: "I always have a hunch. Yingyangjun is about to ascend to the throne of the crown prince, but you will never be willing to surrender to his feet as before. ”
Xiang Chonghua looked at the raindrops that kept dripping on the eaves and said, "I don't know what will happen to me." If it had been in the past, I would have been content with only seeking revenge. But now ......"
Qin Fei said: "Seeing the earth-shaking changes in the status of Yingyang Jun with my own eyes, and seeing the magic power of power pouring over all beings, no one is willing to give up the opportunity to reign over the world. Even if it's only a 1 in 10,000 chance. Why don't you ask me to come with you? ”
Xiang Chonghua shook his head and said, "Although you never mentioned it, I can see that you also have the bitterness of having to gain power." How can I make you sacrifice everything for me and start all over again? Besides, I didn't have to leave, but I was a little shaken. ”
Qin Fei's eyes flashed with a hint of emotion, looking at the dark clouds like a tide in the sky, and then at the outline of the vague pavilions shrouded by the hazy rain curtain, his fingers clenched into fists. In the dark rain, someone suddenly rushed over with a red umbrella.
Wei Qianxue shouted loudly: "Mr. Qin, Brother Hua, something is wrong, your lord, your lord wants to kill the Sun brothers!" ”
Xiang Chonghua rushed out of the room with a spirit, grabbed Wei Qianxue's shoulders and said, "What did you say?" ”
Wei Qianxue wiped the beads of sweat from her face and said, "I heard that a felony in the prison died, and the king was furious and asked Sun Le and Sun Zhe to pay for his life. The plea knelt in the room, and I happened to see it, so ......."
Qin Fei overtook Xiang Chonghua in one arrow step and ran towards the prison where the bandit leader was being held. Xiang Chonghua and Wei Qianxue chased after each other, and as soon as they arrived at the door of the cell, a candlestick flew past Wei Qianxue's head, Xiang Chonghua hugged Wei Qianxue away, Qin Fei screamed and was hit in the shoulder.
When Liu Xiwei saw the two of them, his anger calmed down a little, and he said to Qin Fei, who was covering his shoulders and grinning his teeth: "Benjun is a little out of shape under his anger, is Mr. okay?" ”
Qin Fei hurriedly squeezed out a smile that was more ugly than crying, and said, "No, it's okay." Why is the king angry? ”
Liu Xiwei pointed to the corpse of the bandit leader in the prison and said, "Benjun asked them to take a good look at this prisoner, but you can take a look!" finally pulled Liu Xiqiu off the horse, but the result was still a failure! You say, should you kill this group of waste! ”
Everyone knelt down again to plead, Qin Fei and Xiang Chonghua comforted Liu Xiwei a few words, and walked to the dead leader's side. Qin Fei inspected the body of the deceased and said, "Has anyone touched this corpse?" ”
One of Sun Le's jailers hurriedly said, "Tell sir, no one has touched anything here. We are strictly guarding this prisoner, not only is it firmly tied, but also the acupuncture points are specially pointed. But...... We just found out and found out that he ......."
Liu Xiwei said: "Sir, did you find anything?" ”
Qin Fei said: "This person has been dead for at least three hours. ”
Liu Xiwei said: "Three hours? He walked into the cell and looked up and down for a long time, and said hatefully: "These fools even let the murderer come in and commit murder without knowing it, and they were all hacked to death without wronging them." ”
The Sun brothers and the jailers were busy kowtowing and begging for mercy, Qin Fei looked at the rope around the deceased's neck without saying a word, and said, "You can't blame them for this. The killer didn't even walk into the cell. ”
Liu Xiwei's face sank and said: "Mr. has to find a suitable excuse to excuse them, you said that the murderer did not come in, so how did he die?" ”
Qin Fei stood up and said, "It's not entirely right to say that he didn't come in, the accomplice who killed this person should have sneaked in from there." The people looked at his fingers and saw a few gaps in the roof directly above the deceased.
Liu Xiwei frowned and said, "If such a small hole can also come in, isn't the murderer human?" ”
Qin Fei said: "Not bad. It was the rain that killed the man. He pointed to the neck of the deceased and said, "Because this person is a prisoner that everyone cares about, the rope tied to his body is more and tighter than the prisoner next to him, and even his neck is not spared." Originally, this kind of tightness would not kill people, but there is a problem with this rope. ”
Liu Xiwei squatted down and approached the rope to take a look, his face changed color and said, "This rope is made of hemp!" ”
Qin Fei saw that everyone was confused, and explained: "The rope of Fanma will shrink when it encounters water. The rope tied around the prisoner's neck will naturally suffocate the prisoner to death due to shrinkage when it encounters rain. The cracks in this house were secretly chiseled by the real murderer. ”
The jailer on Sun Le's right suddenly realized: "It's really true that Mr. said this, there has never been a rainwater leak in our cell here before. ”
Liu Xiwei sank his face and said: "Shuangyue said to Ben Jun that the prince had planted a fine work in the mansion, and Ben Jun thought that there would be nothing wrong with grasshoppers, but he didn't expect that a mouse feces would spoil a pot of porridge. Glaring at Wei Qianxue, he shouted, "Take this cheap maid down to Benjun!" ”
Xiang Chonghua was stunned for a moment, and immediately bounced up in front of Wei Qianxue and said, "No one is allowed to touch her!" ”
Gao Jian drew his knife and walked up to him, and said coldly: "Hua Zhong, you have to see your identity clearly, everyone respects you and fears you, it's just for the sake of the king, don't be ashamed!" ”
Liu Xiwei said coldly: "Look at yourself before teaching others." In front of Benjun, it is not your turn to speak out to Hua Zhong again. ”
Gao Jian was speechless for a while, glared at Xiang Chonghua fiercely, and was about to arrest Wei Qianxue. Xiang Chonghua slapped him unceremoniously, Gao Jian dodged to the left, but Xiang Chonghua's hand somehow suddenly flashed out from the left side and covered it firmly.
Gao Jian covered his face and took a step back, and said to Liu Xiwei: "Your Excellency, please judge your subordinates, this is what he did first." ”
Liu Xiwei didn't even look at him, and said to Xiang Chonghua and Yan Yuese: "Benjun knows that Hua values you emotionally, but Benjun is also doing this for your good." Do you know that Mr. Qin was attacked when he came back from Zangchun and Pavilion? ”
Xiang Chonghua looked at Qin Fei in surprise, and Qin Fei nodded awkwardly.
Liu Xiwei continued: "On the day of the night breaking into the Prince's Mansion, Liu Xixuan was drinking in Zangchun and Pavilion, and his vigilance should have been extremely low, but you were still unexpectedly ambushed, right?" ”
Xiang Chonghua and Qin Fei glanced at each other and nodded again.
Liu Xiwei continued: "And that day, you and Zhao Yi drove to visit the location of the attack, and after you came back, Zhao Yi had an accident, right?" ”
Qin Fei was secretly frightened and said, "Liu Xiwei has never paid attention to our actions on the surface, but secretly he always grasps our every move. What a scheming! ”
Xiang Chonghua gritted his teeth and lowered his head.
Liu Xiwei continued: "A series of coincidences will never be coincidences. These three things, Miss Wei Qianxue may be involved or indirectly known. And she and Gu Panpan have always been the best friends, and it is easy to kill Gu Panpan after committing the crime. If you let her be by your side any longer, one day you will lose your life. ”
Liu Xiwei sighed, and continued: "Even though she was forced, how do you know that she is no longer under control, and how do you know that she will not make more dangerous moves?" ”
Xiang Chonghua raised his head and said, "I believe in her!" ”
Wei Qianxue bit her lip and began to cry silently.
Liu Xiwei smiled faintly and said, "But I don't believe it." He waved his hand to Sun Le and Sun Zhe, and although the two of them looked reluctant, they still pressed towards Wei Qianxue step by step.
Qin Fei suddenly stepped forward and said to Liu Xiwei: "It's okay to take Miss Wei away, but please don't hurt the life of the prince before pulling the Dao prince." In case Miss Wei was executed, wouldn't it hurt everyone's harmony? Forcibly pulled Xiang Chonghua over, looked into his eyes and said, "Your Excellency is also for your and my safety." As long as the prince is pulled as soon as possible, Miss Wei will be safe. ”
Liu Xiwei said: "Not bad. As long as the prince dies, even if Miss Wei was a meticulous worker, Benjun can ignore it. ”
Wei Qianxue walked out from behind Xiang Chonghua, saluted him, and said, "Xue'er Dehua's eldest brother is so sheltered, this life is in vain. What's more, Xue'er can still wait for Brother Hua to come back safely? The plain hand caressed his face and said with tears: "I'll wait for you!" ”
Sun Le and Sun Zhe took Wei Qianxue down one by one.
