Volume III, Chapter 627
Meng An's family members are too many, plus the family members and maids in the mansion, there must be more than 200 people, so it is impossible for so many people to be escorted back to the palace, so they can only pick a few main people to bring back, and the others are imprisoned in the Meng Mansion on the spot.
After returning to the hotel, Shao Lin immediately went to see Lin Haotian and told Lin Haotian what had happened. was able to catch the assassin so quickly, which was quite unexpected by Lin Haotian, and he praised it three times in a row.
Shao Lin continued: "My lord, because Wang Song and Meng An have close contacts, and his heart is unpredictable, so the lower officials have put him on the spot to correct the law. ”
Hearing that Shao Lin killed Wang Song, Song Hao on the side widened his eyes in disbelief, Wang Song is the head of the county, Shao Lin didn't play to Lin Haotian, he directly killed the head of a county, it was really lawless to the extreme!
He couldn't help but interject and asked, "Wang Song is dead now?"
"Yes, His Royal Highness King Song, on the spot where the assassin was captured, the lower officials beheaded Wang Song. Shao Lin said truthfully.
Song Hao was speechless, and turned his head to look at Lin Haotian to see how he punished Shao Lin.
Lin Haotian sighed faintly and said, "Anyway, Wang Song is also an official of the imperial court, you should give you a chance to explain!"
Shao Lin Zhengse replied: "Lord Hui, the evidence is conclusive, this thief should be punished!"
"Well, although the killing is a little hasty, but if you kill it, you will kill it, and it is a curse for such a person to stay. Lin Haotian shrugged his shoulders and said a word about the matter, which was regarded as a response to this matter, and then, he changed his words and asked again: "Did the assassin start the interrogation?"
"Yes, my lord, the subordinates of the lower official are interrogating. Shao Lin nodded in response.
"......" looked at the two monarchs and ministers who asked and answered, Song Hao next to him was completely speechless, Shao Lin couldn't blame others for being so lawless. It's all Lin Haotian's habit, and he even has some doubts about whether Lin Haotian wants Wang Song to die, Shao Lin just saw Lin Haotian's intentions, so he did it.
The tacit and delicate relationship between Lin Haotian and Shao Lin is only understood by the two of them. What Shao Lin did. None of it was something he insisted on doing by himself, it was all things that Lin Haotian wanted to do but was not very easy to do, which was the reason why the Demon Martial Artist could exist in the Jin Kingdom.
After learning about the assassin's situation, Lin Haotian waved his hand and said, "Shao Lin, find out the assassin's origin, background, and comrades as soon as possible, go!"
"My lord, there is one more thing for the lower officials to play. ”
"Say!"
"This time I was able to successfully capture the assassin, and Xiao Chengcheng, a partial general in the county army, made a lot of contributions. Xia Guan plans to accept him into the demon system, and hopes that the lord will approve it. Shao Lin said cautiously.
Lin Haotian was happy and said: "Accepting people has always been your own business for the Demon Martial Artist, I never asked, why did you suddenly ask my opinion this time?"
"Oh, this ......" Shao Lin hesitated for a moment, and said stubbornly: "This Xiao Cheng is not a demon martial artist, he cultivates a human martial artist. ”
"Huh?" Lin Haotian had already turned around to talk to Song Hao. As soon as he heard this, he immediately sat back. He raised his eyebrows and looked at Shao Lin and asked, "What's the matter?" are you planning to recruit people other than the Demon Martial Artist to enter the Demon Martial Artist now?"
Shao Lin, who was so high in front of others, was like a mouse seeing a cat in front of Lin Haotian, Lin Haotian just asked a rhetorical question, which made Shao Lin sweat.
His voice trembled a little and said, "Lord Hui, my country's territory has become bigger and bigger. However, the talents collected by the demon warriors are getting smaller and smaller, and their manpower is far from being able to meet the current scale of our country, so the lower officials plan to relax the criteria for recruitment, as long as they are talents. As long as he is loyal to the adults and Dajin, and can do things for the adults, the lower officials plan to take them under his command. ”
The Demon Warrior was established by Lin Haotian, and it was also the institution he trusted the most, or the organization, because in his subconscious, he thought that only the Demon Warrior would be with him at any time, and now Shao Lin wants to let go of the standards of the levy personnel and absorb the human Warrior into the Demon Warrior, which is contrary to his original intention.
He thought for a long time, and then Fang muttered, "If that's the case, in the future, can I still trust you Demon Martial Artists?"
As soon as he heard this, Shao Lin's body suddenly trembled, knelt on the ground with a thud, and said urgently: "It was the lower official's gaffe, and the lower official's stupidity, that he gave this advice to the adult, and the lower official will never mention this matter in the future." ”
Seeing his nervous look, Lin Haotian smiled, waved his hand to Shao Lin, and said, "You get up first." "After getting along for so many years, Shao Lin basically didn't ask Lin Haotian for anything, so he was able to take the initiative to speak, which showed that he was also thoughtful and determined, and Lin Haotian didn't want to refute his face.
After pondering for a while, Lin Haotian said: "This time, I will first temporarily admit the Xiao Cheng you said into the demon system underworld martial artist, and see how the effect is, if the demon system underworld martial artist is not affected, the standard can be appropriately relaxed in the future, Shao Lin, what do you think?"
Shao Lin thought that there was no hope for this matter, but he didn't expect the adult to agree, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly kowtowed forward: "Thank you, thank you, your lordship." ”
Lin Haotian said with a smile: "I have always been very relieved that you do things, and your opinions must have been carefully considered and considered, so how could I not pay attention to it?"
"Xiaguan...... Retirement. Shao Lin is not a person who is good at words, Lin Haotian's trust and value for him, he will only remember it, but let him flatter and slap the horse, he can't do it.
When Shao Lin returned to the place where the assassins and Meng An were being held, the trial of the demonic warriors had already begun.
In these two small secret rooms, it was almost impossible to hear the screams of human voices one after another, and the dark and gloomy secret room was filled with the smell of blood and burnt flesh, as if it were a human area.
Seeing Shao Lin come back, Zhang Xiao and Li Tong, one of the leaders of the Demon Underworld, hurriedly stepped forward, first bowed their hands, and then asked with a smile: "General, this time our Demon Underworld Martial Artist successfully captured the assassin, have we been rewarded by the adults again?"
Shao Lin smiled bitterly, patted the sweat-soaked clothes on his body, and said, "It's not easy for me to stand and walk back." As he spoke, he walked past the two of them and walked towards the secret room where the Assassin was interrogated, asking, "Have the Assassins confessed?"
Zhang Xiao and Li Tong glanced at each other. There was a puzzled look on his face, listening to the general's meaning, it seemed that instead of being rewarded, he was almost punished, what was going on?
Zhang Xiao opened his mouth and said, "General Hui, the assassin's mouth is very hard. Nothing yet...... General, did we catch the Assassin by mistake?"
"Not really. Shao Lin said casually, and said: "It was I who proposed to the adults to increase the number of people, which made the adults very unhappy." ”
He looked up at the two Assassins tied to the cross, covered in flesh and blood, barely humanoid, then lowered his head, picked up the bowl of water, and drank it dry in one gulp.
Zhang Xiao and Li Tong had a cold war. The two grinned and said, "Did the general really mention to the adults about recruiting people who are underworld warriors?" I thought it was a pretext for the general to deal with Xiao Cheng. ”
Shao Lin shook his head and said: "According to the current situation, the influence of the Demon Martial Artist will only get weaker and weaker, and it is not even as good as the Lieutenant's Mansion and the Duwei Battalion established later. Do enough to levy people from the Netherworld. Imperative!" He drank another bowl of water, and then he felt his hot throat feel more comfortable, and asked, "Didn't the assassin even say his name?"
Li Tong handed over his confession and said, "General, that's what the assassin said. ”
Shao Lin took a look, and there were only a few words on it. There are names, one is called Xue Kui, the other is called Ding Mao, who claims to be a ranger of the Red Kingdom, and the others have nothing.
"What the hell is this!" Shao Lin looked at it. Just throw it away.
At first, their mouths were hard, but after a few hours, they couldn't stand it. Zhang Xiao said.
Li Tong asked, "General, what ...... Did you agree with the general's advice?"
Shao Lin nodded, immediately shook his head, and said, "My lord just said to try it." ”
Li Tong was stunned for a moment, and then said happily: "Doesn't this mean that the adult has agreed, I'll just say it, the adult values the general so much, and the general's advice, the adult should not refuse......
Before he could finish speaking, Shao Lin had already turned around, his face sank, and he interrupted: "Put away what you just said, it is taboo to be pampered and arrogant, and you must not say similar things in the future!"
Li Tong was startled, and hurriedly surrendered his hand and responded: "Yes, general, it is a subordinate who has lost his word." ”
Shao Lin asked again, "How is the situation on Meng An's side?"
"The general asked Xiao Cheng to interrogate, and we didn't interfere. Zhang Xiao replied.
"Yes, go check it out. Shao Lin took Zhang Xiao and Li Tong to another secret room.
The situation here was even more miserable than the secret room where the assassin was held, Meng An was fixed on a wooden chair at this time, up and down his body, only a pair of obscene trousers remained, on his chest, there were two shocking marks, which were obviously burned with a red-hot iron, and then look at his hands, feet, and nails were stuck with bamboo tongs the size of toothpicks, the old man was now disheveled, and he had been tortured to the point of delirium, and his snot and saliva were constantly flowing down.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Xiao and Li Tong were also secretly speechless, and whispered to Shao Lin: "General, this Xiao Cheng's methods are ruthless enough, more poisonous than our demon martial artists. ”
Shao Lin smiled, he understood why Xiao Cheng was so hardworking, to put it bluntly, he was in a hurry to express himself, and wanted to join the demon martial arts smoothly.
As soon as Xiao Cheng woke up Meng An with a bucket of cold water, he saw Shao Lin, Zhang Xiao, and Li Tong coming in, his mouth was very sweet, and he quickly stepped forward, bowed to the three of them in turn, and said, "General! Brother Zhang, Brother Li!"
Shao Lin lowered his head, signaled that he didn't need to be polite, and asked, "How was the trial?"
Xiao Cheng shook his head, looked back at Meng An, who was snorting in pain, and said angrily: "This old thing didn't say anything, but the general doesn't have to worry, I still have a way, I will definitely let this old thing explain." ”
"Oh, what way?" Shao Lin also admired Xiao Cheng's mind, he wanted to see what other clever torture tricks Xiao Cheng could think of.
"General, please wait a moment, you'll find out in a moment. Xiao Cheng deliberately betrayed his good man, gave Shao Lin, Zhang and Li to their seats first, and then poured a bowl of tea for each of them.
After a short time, the door to the chamber opened, and several soldiers entered from the outside, dragging in a young woman.
The woman was only in her early twenties, and she wore her hair in a bun. It should not be out of the cabinet yet, she is gorgeously dressed and exquisite, and at a glance she knows that she is a young lady from a big family, but at this time, this girl's face is full of panic.
Seeing this woman, Xiao Cheng narrowed his eyes and walked to Meng An. Grabbed his hair and raised his head, while asking with a smile in his ear, "Old Meng, let's see who this is?"
Meng An slowly opened his eyes, and when his sloppy eyes focused on the woman, his body shook suddenly, and before Meng An could speak, the woman had already screamed first: "Dad-"
If it weren't for Xiao Cheng pulling Meng An's head up, the woman really wouldn't have recognized that this old man who was tortured like a blood gourd was actually her father.
With a shout. He tried to pounce, but the soldiers on both sides held him down, making it difficult for him to move.
Seeing his beloved daughter in other people's hands, Meng An's lifeless face finally changed, his eyes widened, and he yelled at Xiao Cheng: "Brute, let go of my daughter, what means are there." Even if you come to ...... old man"
Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Cheng's slap had already slapped the old man's face.
"Old Piff. This is not a place where you can be arrogant, if you don't know where this is, then I can tell you that this is the territory of the Demon Warriors, and this is the place where you stand and come in and go out sideways!"
The corners of Meng An's mouth were bleeding and he stopped talking. Eyes full of hatred stared at Xiao Cheng.
Xiao Cheng ignored him anymore, turned around and walked to the woman, raised his hand and pinched his pink and smooth face, and said with a smile: "What a beautiful girl...... We have a lot of brothers here, and we haven't touched a woman in a while. Meng Lao, you should know what will happen next, right?" As he spoke, his hand moved down and began to unbuckle the woman's neckline.
The woman struggled and screamed as if she had been bitten by a snake, but under the control of the soldiers on the left and right, he couldn't break free at all, and could only watch Xiao Cheng's hands unbutton his clothes one by one.
The daughter will be humiliated in front of her own eyes, and no one can stand it. Meng An's teeth clenched, the corners of his eyes were about to crack, and a beastly roar came out of his throat, but unfortunately, he couldn't do anything about what was happening in front of him.
Soon, the buttons of the woman's coat were all unbuttoned by Xiao Cheng, revealing the thin middle coat and petticoat inside, and the pink and white belly pocket was also faintly visible.
Seeing this, the surrounding soldiers were about to erupt with fire in their eyes, and their eyes full of desire moved up and down the woman's body.
Xiao Cheng's hand finally stopped, he looked back at Meng An, and said with a smile: "Old Meng, don't you still want to speak? If you don't say it again, these brothers around me will not be able to bear it." ”
Looking at the wolf-like Jin Jun around him, and listening to his daughter's mournful shouts for help, Meng An's body trembled even more, and his gums were bitten out bloodshot, but he still didn't say a word.
Seeing this, Xiao Cheng sighed helplessly, shook his head, waved his hand, and said to the left and right: "He, I'll leave it to you." ”
As soon as he heard this, the surrounding soldiers pounced on him like hungry tigers.
"Stop!" the old man couldn't hold back any longer, and roared.
Xiao Cheng, who was standing aside, suddenly lit up his eyes, rushed forward, tore away all the soldiers who pounced on the girl, and when he separated from everyone, and then looked at the ground, the girl was already naked, curled up on the ground naked.
Xiao Cheng casually pulled down his outer coat and put it on the girl, then walked up to Meng An and said with a smile: "Old Meng, tell me everything you know, why implicate the whole family because of your own affairs!"
At this time, Meng An's psychological defense line had been defeated, he shook his head, and muttered: "I am not the mastermind who assassinated General Lin......
This sentence can surprise everyone present.
Shao Lin originally thought that Meng An might be an assassin who was harbored out of sympathy, but he didn't expect that he would be the mastermind, and he was not the only mastermind.
Xiao Cheng also didn't expect to find such an important clue from Meng An's body, he waved his hand to the surrounding soldiers, signaling them to take the woman out quickly, and then approached Meng An, and said word by word: "Meng Lao, who are the other masterminds, why did you assassinate the adult, and how did you find the assassin, as long as you can explain all this clearly, I can guarantee Ling Ai's safety, and no one can touch a single hair of him." ”
Meng An lowered his head, his expression was painful, he slowly closed his eyes, and said, "As long as General Lin is killed, only then can I have hope of recovering the country." ”
"That's impossible!" Xiao Cheng Zhengse said: "The Shao family, the death of death, the house arrest of house arrest, even if the adult really has three longs and two shorts, it is impossible for the Red Kingdom to return to the country, Meng Lao has ever seen a country without a monarch?"
"Haha-" Meng An suddenly laughed and said, "You think that all the king's heirs have been controlled by you, but you are wrong, the king still has a young son who is not under your control. ”
Hearing this, Xiao Cheng's cold sweat was about to flow out, and even Shao Lin, Zhang Xiao, and Li Tong, who were sitting in the back and listening, all stood up in unison, with an unbelievable expression on their faces, and their eyes looked at Meng An without blinking.
Shi Huai still has children at large, how is this possible? Shi Huai's children are all recorded, and he has done a thorough verification, if there are really children at large, it is impossible for him not to know.
Xiao Cheng leaned closer, almost sticking to Meng An's body, his mood was nervous and excited, but his tone was as calm as possible, and he asked softly, "That...... What is the name of the fugitive son of the Red King, and where is he now?"
Meng An said: "The young master's name is Shi Yuan, and he is the seventh son of the adult, but you don't have to be delusional, now the young master has already arrived in the Yan country." ”
Xiao Cheng's heart trembled, but now he didn't have time to check whether what Meng An said was true or not, he rolled his eyes, and asked again: "Is it Shi Yuan's instruction to you, asking you to find an assassin to assassinate your lord?"
"The young master didn't give us any orders, and it was completely our own decision to do what General Assassin Lin did. ”
"Who else but you?"
"Sun Cai from Longxi County, Zheng Fei from Tai'an County, Cai Ping from Tianyang County......" Meng An said the names of six or seven people in one breath, and then said: "The bounty of General Xing Assassin Lin is a combination of several of us, and the purpose is to expel the barbarians and restore my Dachi!"
When Meng An spoke, someone next to him recorded his words word for word.
After he finished speaking, Xiao Cheng turned his head to look at the person who recorded the text, and then asked, "What Meng Lao said is true?"
"If you don't believe it, you can go and check, the old man only asks for one thing, the thing is done by the old man, the old man's family doesn't know, he wants to kill or chop, even if you come to the old man alone, don't ...... Embarrassed by the aging family. ”
Now, no one cares about what to do with Meng An and his family, people's minds are on his confession, and the information mentioned in it is too much and too important, the stakes are very high, and the scope of involvement is quite extensive. (To be continued......)
