288 Uncooked
The interrogation of the Assassin leader continued throughout the night, until it was almost dawn, when Shadow Fifteen came to confess and the prisoner was ready to confess.
When Shadow Fifteen came to Tiger Hill and knocked on the door, Shen Haolin and Shen Cha snuggled up to each other and slept in the dark. Looking at Xue Ruitian, Jin Jing and Bai Meng lying on the floor on all fours, Xue Ruitian's head was pillowed on Jin Jing's stomach, his legs rested on Bai Meng's calves, and he slept profusely.
However, when Ying Fifteen arrived at the door, several people all opened their eyes for the first time.
"It's fifteen." Shen Cha rubbed his neck and yawned, "I'll open the door." ”
"Don't go, let Xiaotian go! If the wind blows when you wake up, you will definitely have a headache. Shen Haolin grabbed Shen Cha, wrapped her in a small quilt, and raised his chin towards Xue Ruitian, "Go open the door, come over at this time on the fifteenth, there is probably a result." ”
"Get your legs down for me!" Bai Meng sat up with difficulty, "Master Hou, you look quite thin, why are you so heavy?" These two legs, like two iron pillars, weighed me down. ”
"Not really!" Jin Jing stretched, "Putting his head on my stomach is no different from putting a stone lock." ”
"You two, as soon as you wake up, you join forces to bully me, and the time you fall asleep is the cutest." Xue Ruitian got up from the ground, staggered to the door, opened the door, and beckoned to Ying Fifteen, "Come in quickly, don't let the cold wind come in." ”
"...... you guys" Shadow Fifteen sighed softly when she saw the situation in the room, "Is this a makeshift night?" I should have come and told you earlier, I didn't have to wait. ”
"Don't talk nonsense." Xue Ruitian poured a cup of herbal tea, "How is it, recruited?" ”
"He's given up his resistance and he's ready to recruit. However, the fifth brother said that you should be willing to hear what he said in person, so I asked me to come to you. Ying Fifteen snatched the teacup from Xue Ruitian's hand, "There are only nine brothers left under his command, and if he doesn't move, he won't even be able to keep the remaining nine." ”
"Well done, we're going to hear it for ourselves. By the way...... "Shen Cha looked at Ying Fifteen," did you go tell Master and Uncle Yan?" ”
"Boss, don't worry, someone has been sent to deliver the letter, and it is estimated that these two old people are ready to go out." Ying Fifteen heard the footsteps outside, opened the door, and asked Mei Lin and Mei Zhu to bring in the hot water for washing, he looked at Xue Ruitian and the others, "The three of you can move to the guest room, the hot water and clean clothes are ready." ”
"Good!" Xue Ruitian dragged Bai Meng and Jin Jing up, and said to Shen Haolin and Shen Cha, "We'll see you at the gate of the courtyard later." ”
Because the interrogation on the side of the dungeon was still waiting for them, everyone washed up much faster than usual, that is, they packed themselves up with a cup of tea, met at the gate of the courtyard of Tiger Hill, and followed Shadow Fifteen to the direction of the dungeon.
When they were about to reach the dungeon, they ran into Qin Zheng and Yan Bo, who were also in a hurry to the dungeon, and several people stopped and saluted them.
"Master, Uncle Yan!" Shen Cha walked in front of Qin Zheng and Yan Bo, looked at them carefully by the faint light of the lantern, and said dissatisfiedly, "You two haven't slept all night?" ”
"It's not that I haven't slept either, but I've been squinting for more than an hour." Uncle Yan smiled at Shen Cha, "Okay, don't be upset, you also know that this case was originally responsible for me and your master, and it has been unresolved, and it has also left regrets in our hearts." Now that we finally see hope, we will definitely be worried, and it is understandable that we can't sleep because we have something in our hearts, right? ”
"That's it, you guys look like this, and it's the same as us." Qin Zheng raised his eyebrows, "But, Xiaocha, did you really find it?" ”
"Yes, Master, the weight, quantity, and imprint of the gold have been checked, and they are consistent with the batch that the Feng family lost back then. Last night, because Yelunan was there, it was inconvenient to bring the gold back, so he kept it in that small courtyard. However, you can rest assured that our Shen Jiajun's Shuangjiu Young Master is in charge of watching, and nothing will go wrong. ”
"It's good to find it, it's good to find it, and finally there is a result." Qin Zheng and Yan Bo nodded, "Okay, let's go in, we also want to hear what this case was like back then." ”
"Please, two of you!" Shen Haolin asked the two old men to go into the dungeon first, "Fifteen, go get a few big braziers." ”
"Good!" Shadow Fifteen answered, and ran in the direction of the dining room with Merlin.
"Vice Marshal, Uncle Yan!" Kagego, who was guarding the torture cell, saw everyone coming in, stood up and saluted, "Do you want to start now?" ”
"Wait fifteen, he's going to get the brazier. Little Five, move stools and prepare hot tea for everyone. Taking the whip handed over by Shadow Five, Shen Cha looked at the sluggish leader of the assassins, raised his eyebrows slightly, and slowly slipped in front of the remaining nine assassins, these people were scarred and there was no good place on their bodies. She looked at it for a moment, then turned back to the leader, and sighed softly, "It would be nice to confess earlier, why bother if you have to make trouble to this point?" ”
"That's it, earlier, your brother can stay a lot." Xue Ruitian also walked over and watched, "Tut-tut, your stubbornness, not only let your brother suffer such a big crime, but also let them lose their lives, this is all your sin." Don't you Duan believe in Buddha? Do you say that a sinful person like you is still worthy to serve in front of the Buddha? Would the Buddha still consider you his followers? ”
"Enough! Stop it! I recruit, can't I recruit? The leader sighed heavily, "I ......"
"Wait!" Shen Cha waved his hand at him, picked up his previous confession and looked at it, and then looked at Ying Fifteen and Merlin who came in with a few large braziers, "Put two here, and put the rest on the side of the deputy marshal and Uncle Yan." ”
"Yes!" Merlin put the brazier, stuffed the hand stove to Shen Cha, and pulled Mei Zhu out silently.
"Your name is ...... Duan Xinghu, the person who delivered the news to you is called ...... Duan Xinglong ......" Shen Cha frowned slightly, "What is the relationship between the two of you?" ”
"Half-brother, he's my brother-in-law."
"Oh!" Shen Cha nodded, "What do you have to do with the Duan royal family?" ”
"It's just a relative of Wufu." Assassin Leader...... Oh, no, it was Duan Xinghu who smiled bitterly, "There is no other relationship." ”
"After all, he is surnamed Duan, and he is also a relative of the emperor. As a relative of the emperor, why don't you enjoy happiness in Dali and go to our icy border to do something? Seeing Ying Wu coming back, Shen Cha asked, "What about that Duan Xinglong?" Did you catch it? ”
"No, we were a step too late, and by the time we found him, the man was already dead." Ying Wu poured a cup of ginger soup for each of them, and also prepared a hot snack very intimately, "Not only did the person die, but all his things were burned to the ground." ”
"What about the cause of death?" Shen Cha finished drinking the ginger soup and handed the bowl to Kagego, "What did the neighbors around him say?" ”
"After a preliminary examination, it was suicide." Kagego put everyone's bowls together and put them in a small basket, "He lives in a very remote place, no one goes to that place, day or night, so there are no neighbors to speak of." ”
"It seems that I heard the wind and cut myself off in advance." Shen Haolin looked at Duan Xinghu, "Do you think your brother-in-law will commit suicide?" ”
"I ......," Duan Xinglong shook his head, "I don't know him well, so I don't know very well." ”
"Unfamiliar?" Shen Cha sneered, "You are brothers, you actually told me, unfamiliar?" Don't you think it's ridiculous? ”
"General Shen, what I said is true, I really don't know my brother well." Duan Xinghu tugged at the corners of his mouth, "It's all up to this, and I don't have to lie to you." Although we are brothers, one is a concubine and the other is a concubine, so naturally we cannot talk about each other. In our Duan family, in addition to having a nice name, the children of the concubines are no different from servants. Otherwise, it's the same spy, he can hide behind and command everything, and I'll charge for him. ”
"From this point of view, such grievances and hatreds really do not distinguish between countries!" Shen Cha looked at Duan Xinghu, "So, among you people, he is the master, you are the auxiliary, and the orders he gives must be obeyed without any difference, right?" ”
"Yes."
"So, is this assassination of Yelu Nan his intention, or is it the intention of King Duan?"
"It can be said that it is what he means, and it can also be said that it is the meaning of King Duan." Duan Xinghu raised his voice lightly and continued, "Before we came, King Duan gave him the right to act cheaply, which means that if he can provoke disputes and frictions between Xia, Liao, and Jin, he doesn't need to ask for instructions at all, and he can cut it first and then play. This time, it was not only Yelu Nan who was assassinated, but also people in Liao and Phnom Border Pass. ”
"Huh!" Xue Ruitian sneered, "This Duan Xinglong is really holding chicken feathers as an arrow, does he think that Xia, Liao, and Jin are as brainless as him?" Can't you see that someone deliberately provoked the incident and planted the blame? Is he not afraid of retaliation if he does this? Can King Duan really withstand the wrath of the Three Kingdoms? Are you sure your brother-in-law ...... Isn't it the Duan clan of Chengxinkeng? ”
"Master Hou, Duan Xinglong ...... because he couldn't afford this consequence," Shen Cha looked at Duan Xinghu with a cold face, "He committed suicide in fear of sin." ”
"This ...... This, I don't know, General Shen, I said it, we don't know each other. ”
"Anyway, his people are dead, so it doesn't matter if you know each other well or not." Shen Cha lightly slapped the table in front of him with a whip, "Now that the case is over, let's talk about the case ten years ago." The Feng family's batch of gold, you robbed it, right? ”
"Yes, we robbed it." Duan Xinghu nodded, "But it wasn't planned, but we decided on an ad hoc basis." ”
