054 The Truth of the Matter
To be honest, Yi Tian didn't want to kill Jiang Haifu, at least not now, he was obviously more valuable if he was alive. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Although the defense of the city was victorious, the stomachs of the soldiers and people in the city were not solved, and the city wall was also on the verge of collapse, and the city defense value was already very little.
The soldiers and the people need food, the Shenwu army needs the Linggu, and the repair of the city wall is even more urgently needed, not to mention the compensation of casualties and the reward of soldiers who have made meritorious contributions, these are all resources needed.
However, in the huge city of Wuji, not even a grain of rice can be found, which is the most difficult problem at present.
Yi Tian put his mind on the internal affairs office, as the internal affairs envoy who is also in charge of the household department, the whole city is afraid that only here can some oil and water be scavenged.
For this reason, without waiting for the battlefield to be cleaned, he beckoned Shangshi to take charge, and ordered eighty people in the Shenwu Army, and immediately rushed to the Internal Affairs Office to raid the house, just like to squeeze oil and water out of Jiang Haifu.
However, he didn't expect that this person was looking for death, and he was completely crazy, and Yi Tian had to kill him.
However, it is a pity that the private resources of the Ministry of Internal Affairs did not have time to torture, but I can't ask anything if I think about it.
Yi Tian carefully recalled the scene just now, but his brows furrowed suddenly, and he suddenly realized that something was wrong.
In Jiang Haifu's words, a very important piece of information was revealed, which he completely ignored just now, but at this time, in retrospect, he felt more and more suspicious.
In the future of Wuji City, can he Yi Yunfeng be handed over to outsiders?
What does this mean? Could it be that Daddy Cheap wants to give up the city and hand over Wuji City to outsiders?
The old man's thoughts are different from those of General Yi?
Could it be that Yi Jiangliu disagreed, or did he want to succeed him as the city lord?
He Yi Yunfeng obeyed the orders of a woman of unknown origin, completely abandoning the ancestral inheritance?
This woman of unknown origin should be Mrs. Yi, is it Mrs. Yi's proposition, or maybe it is just her last wish?
After Mrs. Yi died of illness, Yi Yunfeng made a decision to hand over the future of Wuji City to outsiders, and the ancestral foundation did not intend to ask for it, Yi Jiangliu led the people to rebel for this, but he was suppressed and imprisoned on death row in the Criminal Department.
For these things, Jiang Haifu may be an insider, but now that everyone has been killed, there is nothing to regret.
"Young City Lord!"
At this moment, Shi Ren walked in outside the hall gate, he first glanced at Jiang Haifu's corpse, his expression couldn't help but be stunned, but he immediately stepped forward and bowed respectfully.
"Qiyu Young City Lord, his subordinates and others have searched the Internal Affairs Office several times, but they have found nothing. ”
Shi Dan's tone couldn't help but be a little disappointed, the situation in the city was not optimistic, the Internal Affairs Office was simply a munitions depot, but they almost turned the mansion up and down, but Mao didn't find one, and he was naturally quite frustrated.
Yi Tian couldn't help frowning, this is indeed a tricky problem, the body of the master here is at his feet, and the dead man has no way to speak, and now he can only find it slowly.
All in all, Jiang Haifu has been in charge of the household department for decades, this person has formed a party to make money for personal gain, and the Internal Affairs Office will definitely not be so clean, even if he digs three feet into the ground, he doesn't believe that he can't dig it out?
"But ......"
But at this moment, Shi Dan's voice paused, and he continued: "In the guest room of the Internal Affairs Mansion, the subordinates and others caught a person, maybe he knows something. ”
"Who?"
Yi Tian raised his eyebrows and couldn't help asking.
Shi Dang didn't dare to slack off, and immediately said: "Sima Du Rende of the Criminal Department!"
"Bring him up!"
Yi Tian is not talking nonsense, this person is Jiang Haifu's comrade, and he may know some about the secrets of the Internal Affairs Office.
"Someone's coming!"
Shi Dan's voice was like a bell, and he shouted towards the outside of the hall: "Bring Du Rende up!"
Immediately, two of his own soldiers shouted their promises, and escorted a man into the temple gate, as if he had been waiting outside to listen to the announcement.
This person is Du Rende, the Sima of the Criminal Department of Wuji City, although he is dressed in red clothes at this time, but it is stained with blood, and the long sleeves of his left arm are empty, especially his face, which is even whiter than before, like the face of a dead man, and the only difference is the bloodshot eyes.
Du Rende's footsteps were a little faltering, because there was a pair of shackles on his feet, which were specially prepared for martial arts masters, he had been in charge of the criminal department for more than ten years, and every day he would see someone dragging this pair of shackles to walk, I was afraid that he never thought that one day he would fall into such a state.
"This ......"
When he saw the corpse on the ground, Du Rende almost stumbled and fell, he already recognized who this corpse was?
If the hair does not exist, the skin will be attached?
As Jiang Haifu's comrade, the line of defense in Du Rende's heart collapsed almost instantly.
"Jiang Haifu, I killed it!"
Yi Tian looked at him with disdain, and his tone was unusually flat, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.
Du Rende's heart seemed to be in his throat, his whole body trembled violently, his legs were weak for a while, and he couldn't help but fall to the ground.
Before this, Shi Dang had already given a separate lecture, so that Du Rende could recognize the situation in front of him, so that he could face up to his own problems, and it was best to confess it immediately and strive for leniency.
However, in the mouth of the captain of the Divine Arrow Battalion, the young city lord was simply worshiped as a god, turning the tide and slashing the Feiyun master, turning the tide to protect the city wall, and having incredible power, so he had better not disobey, otherwise he would be punished by heaven.
Although what Shi Dang said was the truth, Du Rende's head couldn't keep up, and he always couldn't believe that the young city lord, a well-known imbecile, had become a hidden martial arts master?
What a ridiculous thing is this? But the facts are there, there is no need for Shi Dang to lie to him, and the cheers that came from outside the city before are enough to explain everything.
Although he knew the result, he couldn't figure out the reason? Du Rende had to make up for it, at this time, in his eyes, Yi Tian was either the reincarnation of a god, or a powerful existence possessed by a god.
In the face of such an existence, Du Rende was so frightened that he had to kneel on the ground and beg for mercy.
"Young City Lord, spare your life!"
A sneer rolled up at the corner of Yi Tian's mouth, and he said indifferently: "Du Rende, you know that it is a big disaster, but you still stay in the Internal Affairs Mansion, then you must find a way to live." ”
For smart people, there is often no need to say a second sentence, Du Rende's head is not stupid, he knows very well that with the current Wuji City, no matter who will become the person in power, there is a problem that needs to be solved.
That is, the stomachs of the people who urgently need to be filled, the vitality that the soldiers are eager to replenish, and the city walls that need to be repaired urgently, and it is urgent to recuperate.
All this can only be solved by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so Du Rende wants to stay here, in fact, he only has one arm, and he has no trace in Wuji City, and only by staying here can he win a glimmer of life.
"The subordinates know that they are guilty and are willing to wear the guilt to make meritorious contributions, and they only hope that the young city lord will be magnanimous and allow his subordinates to return to Qinghe County for retirement. ”
This is Du Rende's condition, as long as Yi Tian lets him out of the city, he will confess the private collection of the Internal Affairs Office.
"Okay, I promise you!"
Yi Tian did not hesitate at all, but the current situation was as Du Rende expected, and he had no choice.
Du Rende's heart finally fell back into his stomach, and his expression was obviously relaxed, and he said in a respectful tone: "Jiang Haifu is extremely cautious, although the matter of his embezzlement of the resources of Wuji City has been rumored, but no one has seen it with their own eyes, it is all because he has built an underground secret vault in the Internal Affairs Office. ”
Speaking of this, his voice paused, and he continued: "That underground vault is built under the rockery in the back garden?"
"Du Rende!"
At this time, Shi Dang interjected and said: "I have sent people to search the rockery in the back garden several times, but I have not found anything?
"Yes, of course there is a mechanism!"
Du Rende hurriedly said: "In the pool of the rockery, there is a stone tablet of the stele, its head is the mechanism, as long as you press it down, the pool will be divided into two, revealing the passage to the underground vault." ”
"Okay!
Seeing Du Rende so acquainted, Yi Tian couldn't help nodding his head again and again, allowing him to get up and speak, but he raised a question.
"Du Rende, you also said just now that Jiang Haifu is extremely careful, but he shouldn't tell you such a secret?
"The young city lord's eyes are like lightning, and his subordinates can't hide anything from you. ”
Du Rende had a flattering look on his face, and immediately said: "Of course my subordinates don't dare to ask Jiang Haifu about such a thing, but Shen Tugang's favorite concubine, as well as the personal maid who serves Jiang Dahai, these are all people secretly arranged by his subordinates." ”
"I see!"
Yi Tian's face was full of sudden expression, that Shen Tugang had a rough temperament, he might not be able to keep his mouth shut, Jiang Dahai was a gentleman, and it was not a climate, Du Rende started on these two people, no wonder he knew such a secret?
However, it is understandable that a two-faced person like Du Rende would do such a thing.
At that moment, Yi Tian no longer had any doubts, he turned his head to look at Shi Dandang, and issued a search order.
"Captain Shi, you immediately bring people over, even if you dig three feet into the ground, you have to dig out the underground secret vault. ”
"Yes!"
Shi Dang's face was full of excitement, and the news made him a little impatient, and he immediately took the order to retreat.
After he left the main hall, this matter came to an end, and waiting for nothing more than the result was just the result? Yi Tian's mind naturally did not put on it, he thought of another thing.
That is, Jiang Haifu's words before he died, revealing some unknown secrets, but it was only a few words, but he needed more information to dig out the truth of what happened back then.
However, the person who happened to be in front of him may be an insider, and maybe some answers can be found in him.
"Du Rende!"
Yi Tian's expression became unprecedentedly solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "There is one thing, you need to explain it honestly, otherwise even if you return to Qinghe County, there will be no good fruit to eat." ”
Du Rende's heart immediately tightened, and he said with a wry smile on his face: "Young City Lord, your subordinates are in front of you, where do you dare to have any secrets?"
"Okay, forgive me for not daring!"
Yi Tian nodded slightly, but asked: "In the death row of the Criminal Department, Yi Jiangliu has five punishments, but you use the death penalty?"
Du Rende's face couldn't help but turn pale, he really didn't understand in his heart, why did Yi Tian ask this question?
But at this time, he also completely understood that the man in black who broke into the death row of the Execution Department day and night was this mysterious young city lord, no wonder such a careful layout would fail?
However, Du Rende didn't dare to hide Yi Tian's sudden question, and shouted again and again.
"Young City Lord, Yi Jiangliu is the younger brother of the City Lord, how dare his subordinates move the death penalty?"
"You mean, you were instructed to do that?"
Yi Tian's brows couldn't help frowning, and he intuitively felt that this was not simple.
Du Rende's face was a little bitter, and he said in a low voice: "That's naturally the City Lord of Yi, otherwise no one would have the guts?"
"City Lord Yi?"
Yi Tian's brows furrowed even tighter, and he asked with a puzzled face, "But, why did he do this?"
At this time, Du Rende lowered his head, as if he didn't dare to look at him, and said in a low voice: "That's not because, Yi Jiangliu wants to kill the young city lord, he will succeed the city lord of Wuji City, Yi City Lord is naturally very angry, of course it will not be because of brotherhood, so he ordered his subordinates to be punished with capital punishment." ”
Although Du Rende said it well, Yi Tian always felt that things were not as simple as they appeared.
This is completely unreasonable, unless Yi Jiangliu has a problem with his head, he is simply killing himself.
The fuse in this is afraid that Yi Yunfeng's decision is that he wants to hand over Wuji City to outsiders.
It is precisely because of this that Yi Jiangliu turned against him for this, and the one he hated the most should be the outsider.
However, listening to Du Rende's words, why did Yi Jiangliu kill himself?
Don't?
Could it be that he hates himself the most?
Impossible, this is a complete paradox, unless cheap daddy Yi Yunfeng is a fool?
Yi Angel shook his head vigorously, deciding not to think about this headache anymore, there was no need to waste time at all.
Anyway, Wuji City was already in his hands, and there was no need to bother with these old accounts.
At this moment, there was a cheer outside, and a Shenwu soldier walked in quickly with a happy face.
"Young City Lord, I found an underground vault in the rockery in the back garden, Captain Shi invites you to come over!"
