Chapter 111: Conspiracy Against the Heavens
Speaking of this, the owner of the shop snorted and cried: "My lord, I ...... I'm really being persecuted! It's all to blame the villain for being greedy for a while and being used by others, but the villain is only responsible for brewing wine, and he doesn't harm anyone! ”
"No harm? Then why do you still brew poisoned wine? Li Canghai snorted coldly.
The owner's expression suddenly languished, he cried with a sad face, and muttered to himself: "That's all forced, all forced." ”
He also understood the seriousness of the matter, if Luoyang City really died countless people because of the wine he brewed, he would definitely be placed on the crime of rebellion and rebellion, this kind of crime is for the nine clans, how can an ordinary small businessman like him bear this responsibility?
If it really happened, no one would believe what he said, he was not a 'rebel Xuanwu', and he didn't even know anything about this organization, and the black cauldron of rebellion and rebellion was obviously on his back.
Thinking of this, the owner of the shop was sweating profusely, and now he realized that for twenty taels of gold, he put his net worth and his life into it.
Li Canghai looked at the owner of the fang, knowing that his words had some effect on him, so he nodded and said: "This official is Li Canghai, the commander of Zhengyang County, and this person next to me is General Jin Wuwei who guards Luoyang, Huangfu Kun." As long as you have nothing to hide, the officer will consider mitigating your offence at his discretion. ”
"Yes, yes, the villain will never dare to hide it, and he will never dare to hide it." The owner kowtowed repeatedly, almost crying.
"I ask you, have you ever heard them say anything else?" Li Canghai put his hands behind his back and asked in a cold voice.
The owner thought for a while, and said in a trembling voice: "The villain is only responsible for making wine, and they have not told me anything else. However, there was a time when I overheard something that I didn't know if it mattered. ”
"What's the matter?"
"At that time, the villain was making wine, and overheard the two fellows they had sent to help, and heard something like 'emperor' and 'patrol', but when the villain approached, they cautiously shut their mouths." The owner recalled.
"Did you hear that, did they say that?" Huangfu Kun suddenly shouted.
The owner was startled, and he said tremblingly, "Little ...... The villain wasn't sure, but he just listened to a rough idea. ”
Seeing that Huangfu Kun was extremely dignified, Li Canghai knew that he must have discovered something, so he asked, "General, what did you find?" ”
Huang Fukun made a silent gesture to him, glanced around with his eyes, and signaled to him that there were many people here, and it was inconvenient to say more.
Seeing that he was so cautious, Li Canghai knew that things must not be simple, so he nodded clearly, and decided to solve the matter in front of him first, and then ask him.
"Let me ask you, did anything unusual happen during the brewing period?" Li Canghai still had some questions that he didn't understand, so he asked.
The owner knelt on the ground, dripping in cold sweat, as if he was really frightened. After thinking for a long time, he shook his head and said, "There is nothing abnormal, they have been watching the brewing during this time, and I have never seen anyone else except my nephew." ”
"Your nephew? Who is he? Li Canghai asked with a slight frown.
"My lord, you should know my nephew, he is an errand boy in the yamen of the adult, named Niu Fugui." The owner said honestly.
"Cow Fugui? What is he doing here? Li Canghai's eyebrows suddenly raised, he never expected that Niu Fugui and this owner were uncles and nephews.
The owner was a little surprised, he didn't understand why Li Canghai reacted so much, but he still nodded honestly and said: "My nephew has a very good relationship with a gangster in my village, and when the gangster was injured, my nephew brought him to me, and after staying for two days, they left here. ”
Li Canghai suddenly remembered the identities of the two deceased who had asked Kang Xu to investigate before, both of whom were from Luo Fengji, and he said in a deep voice: "The scar on the thug's chest is slashed from his right shoulder to his chest? ”
The owner was suddenly a little stunned, and he said in surprise: "How can the adults know? ”
Li Canghai knew in his heart that the gangster was a gopher from the Di family's gopher sect, and now it finally made sense, why did the two die in the same kind of Gu worm.
Presumably, it was the 'Reverse Scale Xuanwu' who was worried that the matter would be revealed, and later found the whereabouts of the two in Luoyang City, so he killed them.
All the mysteries were solved, and Li Canghai suddenly had a feeling of enlightenment.
He always thought that the death of the gopher gate man and the official Niu Fugui was just an accident, a random killing, but now it seems that this is clearly a deliberate murder.
The Gopher Menmen, the Yasan Niu Fugui, and the Emperor Fu Wei, they probably didn't find anything, but they all died, which shows that the organization of 'Reverse Scale Xuanwu' is absolutely extraordinary.
"My lord, the villain has all confessed, and the villain doesn't dare to rebel!" The owner of the shop cried and sighed.
Li Canghai glanced at him, flicked his sleeves and said, "You'd better pray that Luoyang City is safe and sound, otherwise, even the Heavenly King Laozi won't be able to protect you!" ”
The owner sat down on the ground and began to cry with a whimper.
"Boy, what are you going to do with these people?" Huangfu Kun swept the captured man and asked.
"Except for a few real winery guys, the rest of these people should be 'anti-scale Xuanwu' people, verify their identity, and then take them to the military camp to take care of them." Li Canghai said after a moment of contemplation.
"How do you verify this?" Huang Fukun didn't know that the members of the 'Reverse Scale Xuanwu' had tattoos on their left arms, and he was a little puzzled.
"The general doesn't know that the members of the 'Reverse Scale Xuanwu' organization all have Xuanwu tattoos on their left arms." Li Canghai ripped off a strong man's shirt and pointed to the tattoo on the man's left arm and said.
Huang Fukun nodded, and then asked everyone to start checking their identities one by one.
"There is another thing, these people are all outlaws, many of them are Jiangyang thieves who have been arrested by the imperial court for many years, and the general must be more careful." Li Canghai was worried that Huang Fukun would despise them, so he said.
Huang Fukun nodded heavily, and ordered his subordinates to take all the people away, and then pulled Li Canghai to the side.
"General, I just saw your solemn face, what happened?" Li Canghai frowned slightly, and asked unconsciously a little strangely.
He had never seen Huang Fukun so serious, and even when his son died, he didn't have such a face, as if the sky was about to fall. Huang Fukun looked left and right, and after confirming that there was no one around, he said in a deep voice: "Boy, I'm afraid something big is going to happen this time." ”
Li Canghai raised his eyebrows slightly, he remembered what the owner said, and muttered: "But it has something to do with what the owner said?" ”
