085. The Informer
Qing Ming recognized that face, it was the one who had been to the Qingzhen Palace, and provided the clue to the poison and blood dispersion, the leader of the Aluminum Clan's Dayi Business Group, Liu Congzheng!
The old prime minister Yun Sheng was so angry that his face turned pale, and he exchanged a look with Yun Hui, only to see that Yun Hui's face was also like ashes. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Yun Huishang stomped his feet and scolded: "Liu Congzheng?
Prime Minister Yunsheng angrily announced: "Liu Congzheng rebelled against the gang, and dared to openly assassinate the Prime Minister's Mansion and attack the Shangshu Joint Association!"
As he spoke, he walked over, arched his hand towards Qing Ming, and said, "King Ming, look, this assassin is dead! However, since he is the leader of the Taetea Merchant Group, the Taetea Merchant Group must have nothing to do with this attack! You can't just let them go!"
When Qing Ming heard this, he felt that the next action plan in Yun Sheng's mouth was about to come out, he didn't say it, it was for himself to say, it could be regarded as a move to respect the etiquette law of the great country, and he should take it! What's more, this attack, although it was clear on the surface that it was aimed at Prime Minister Yun Sheng, the contradictions and conflicts were all caused by the promotion order of iron farm tools, but this decree was officially released to the public after the Shangshu Joint Committee deliberated and passed, and was stamped with the seal of the Bronze King by himself.
After thinking about it quickly, Qing Ming said categorically: "The stakes are very high! Please ask the prime minister to immediately assemble the central guard of the prefecture, and we will go to the location of the Taetea business group to find out!"
Yun Shengcheng is quite promised.
The Taetea merchant group is also well-known in the subject country, and its shop position in the bazaar is very eye-catching, and almost everyone in the royal city knows it. Qing Ming and Yun Sheng took the lead, and the group quickly rushed to the southwest corner of the Great Subject Country Market. In the courtyard where the Taetea merchant group is located, there is also a red background and yellow border business flag outside the gate, which does not look abnormal.
The team rushed to the gate of the courtyard and did not knock on the door, the leading guard stretched out his legs and kicked open the courtyard door directly, and an old housekeeper greeted him and greeted him with a smile: "The official has arrived!
The soldiers who rushed ahead ignored him, and pushed him aside, and rushed straight in, rummaging around with his sword along the way, and the team was mixed with some good deeds, and everywhere he went, he kicked and bumped directly, and in an instant, the courtyard was in chaos. The prime minister ordered that as long as he saw the people of the merchant group, they would all be arrested, which frightened a group of servants and maids into running around, screaming incessantly.
After the smashing and destruction, except for the goods purchased and sold daily, no unusual items of knives, guns and artillery were found in the merchant group, except for the servants and maids, and the old butler who came out at the beginning was the highest rank among them.
Prime Minister Yun Sheng ordered someone to escort the old housekeeper to him, so he asked in a mysterious way, "Where is the leader of your family now?"
The old butler coughed a few times, trembled, and hunched over: "Return to your nobles! The leader of my family took a few sturdy men from the merchant group to the country of arrogance to purchase!"
Yun Sheng was suspicious, and continued to ask, "When will you leave, when will you return, we have important things to see him!"
The old butler looked timid, and said with a cower: "I've been gone for half a month! As for when I'll come back, I haven't told us these people!" As he spoke, he looked around and saw the chaotic scene around him, and knew that the person who came was not good, and his face turned even whiter.
Yun Sheng turned to Qing Ming and said: "King Ming! You must know that Liu Congzheng committed a serious crime, this old man is still deliberately concealing it, there must be an internal cause, please ask King Ming's permission, let the old man bring back the people of the Taetea Business Group, and interrogate them one by one, and they will definitely be able to find out the clues!"
Qing Ming was a little embarrassed, he wanted to say that this matter should be handed over to the Criminal Department, but after all, Yun Sheng was the core target of the assassins, in addition, after all these times, he knew that in the court of the great subject country, the responsibilities and powers between the various Shangshu were not as clear as the Tao of the world, and the affairs of the nobles of the palaces were generally handled by the masters of the palaces, and the matter was followed up by the prime minister, which was reasonable.
While hesitating, Zhong Quan and Du Sheng exchanged a look, and Du Sheng came to Qing Ming's side and said softly: "King Ming, the assassination of the prime minister is very important, and according to the usual practice, it should be handled by the prime minister!"
So, Qing Ming nodded and said to Yun Sheng: "Then there is Prime Minister Lao! If necessary, this king can provide assistance at any time, and he will definitely help the Prime Minister find out!"
Yun Sheng arched his hand and said: "These untouchables dare to rush into the joint meeting! You must know that the Bronze King is also present today, and the crime is even more serious! The old man will definitely do his best to investigate the ins and outs in the future, and arrest all the remaining parties!"
Before he could finish speaking, he only heard a habitual flattering voice coming from outside the courtyard gate, saying: "Ouch, what kind of distinguished guest is this?
Everyone looked towards the gate of the courtyard, and they all felt a pang in their hearts, only to see that the person who came was none other than Liu Congzheng, the leader of the short and fat Taetea Business Group!
Isn't he dead? So many people have seen it with their own eyes, and they won't see ghosts! Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and they were amazed.
Liu Congzheng was in good spirits, and walked into the compound, followed by seven or eight servants, all dressed as business travelers, and the horses neighed outside the door, obviously Liu Congzheng and others had just dismounted and landed outside the courtyard.
As soon as he saw the nobles in the courtyard, and then looked at it, the bottles and jars around him were in a mess, Liu Congzheng's eyes burst out with panicked eyes, and he walked up to Qingming and Prime Minister Yunsheng, pounced, knelt on the ground, and bowed in a trembling voice: "Little Dayi merchant group Liu Congzheng, I don't know that King Ming has arrived! I don't know that the Prime Minister has arrived!
A trace of consternation flashed across Prime Minister Yunsheng's face, and he immediately regained his composure, raised his eyebrows, and asked, "You, are you really the leader of the Taetea Business Group, Liu Congzheng?"
Liu Congzheng still knelt down, raised his head slightly, so that Yun Sheng and Qing Ming could see his face, and replied puzzledly: "It's small, yes! The Prime Minister came in person, and our small place is really full of splendor! However, what is the big thing that actually alarmed His Majesty King Ming and Prime Minister Yun Sheng? Please forgive the little ignorance!"
Qing Ming had a puzzle in his heart, just now in the Prime Minister's Mansion, he saw this person with his own eyes, the cast iron sword passed through his chest, and he died on the spot, but now, how can he be so vivid? So, he asked: "Liu Congzheng, are you twins? Or are there brothers who look very similar?"
Liu Congzheng's head shook like a rattle, and retorted: "No! The little one is an only son! Dare to ask King Ming why he has such a question?"
Qing Ming looked carefully, confirmed that this person was indeed Liu Congzheng Yes, he was even more puzzled in his heart, and at the same time, he was also surprised that the other party's eyes were so sharp, before he ascended the throne, he had met this person in a hurry in the Qingzhe Palace, and now he had just ascended the throne as the king, mixed in the nobles, and most people did not know the Bronze King, and Liu Congzheng knew his identity at a glance, and bowed down directly, and simply shouted his name neatly.
Prime Minister Yunsheng was in a fit of rage, pulled up the collar of the kneeling man, pulled it in front of him, looked at it carefully, and then, with a wave of his big hand, threw him to the ground, Liu Congzheng had no resistance, and his ass fell to the ground heavily, moaning in pain.
While touching his buttocks, he asked stupidly: "Prime Minister, why is this? We have always cooperated happily, and the Taetea Business Group has always acted carefully! I don't know where I offended the Prime Minister?"
Yun Hui leaned over, examined it carefully in front of him, and then said thoughtfully: "Could it be that you can resurrect the dead? That's really against the sky!
Liu Congzheng knelt on the ground, bowed to the prime minister for a while, and worshiped Qing Ming for a while, and pleaded earnestly: "King Ming! Prime Minister! The little one abides by the law and does not dare to offend the nobles! Please also ask the nobles to make it clear!"
Qing Ming gave Du Sheng a look, and General Du Sheng said: "Fang Cai is in the Prime Minister's Mansion, an assassin attacked the Shangshu Joint Association, and the leader is you! Moreover, Fang Cai's person has been killed on the spot!"
Liu Congzheng's mouth opened wider than the mouth of the bowl, and he was eager to swallow a giant rat, and exclaimed: "Ah, I, an assassin, oh, the nobleman is clear! The little one doesn't know at all! The little one has just returned from the Arrogant Country, how could he assassinate the Prime Minister's Mansion? Besides, the little one can only do some business, and he has no power to restrain the chicken, how can it! Oh, what, it's still dead? People can't be resurrected after death! This, this ......."
Yun Hui grabbed his right hand and exercised it slightly in his palm, because, if the other party is a practitioner, after the training of pranayama luck, the palm of the hand will naturally give feedback to the skill input by others. After a while, Yun Hui let go of his hand, glanced at the old prime minister Yun Sheng suspiciously, and said, "It's strange! He really hasn't had martial arts!"
The crowd was puzzled.
After a while, Prime Minister Yun Sheng said angrily: "No matter what, that assassin looks the same as you, there must be something strange!
Zhong Quan hurriedly stepped forward and suggested to the prime minister softly: "Prime minister, there is only one corpse in the mansion, and there is no evidence that the Taetea business group is involved in it, it can be said that there is no evidence, and it may be inappropriate to detain it directly, besides, there are many people here, it is better to send someone to temporarily seal up this Taetea business group, and put everyone present under house arrest here, and inquire in detail!"
Yun Sheng pondered for a moment, and said loudly: "The rest of the people are fine! But this Liu Congzheng, I have to take it back and torture it well! Take Liu Congzheng and put him in the dungeon of the Prime Minister's Mansion! Seal up the Taetea Business Group! Without the instructions of the imperial court, no one is allowed to go out through this gate!"
Poor Liu Congzheng was picked up by the strong guards, although he was a little fat, but because he didn't know martial arts, he was easily carried by others, like a helpless fat mouse.
He kept shouting: "Wronged! Prime Minister! Let the little one go! The little one really doesn't know anything!"
His shouts were to no avail, and as Yunsheng's ranks faded into the streets.
Qing Ming returned to the palace, while recalling the strange things of Liu Congzheng, while thinking about the promotion order of iron farm tools, I felt that this decree was quite meaningful, at the beginning, under the instigation of Prime Minister Yunsheng, he issued a promotion order, I didn't expect it to set off such a huge wave, can there be any way, to spy on the reason?
Turning his head to look at Wataru, he found that he was also at a loss.
was puzzled, at this time, the guard outside the study announced, saying that Yun Shi wanted to see.
Yun Shi came in, still with a calm demeanor, stroked his two mustaches, and said, "I ask to see you at night, disturb King Ming's rest, please forgive me!"
Qing Ming said with a smile: "General Yun Shi is polite! You are a squire of the military department, there is something in the imperial court, you can come to me at any time! You and I hit it off at first sight, I admire the general's talent and virtue, and from the perspective of a friend, I also welcome the general to visit at any time! It just so happens that today I am attending the joint meeting of Shangshu in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and a strange thing has happened, I am puzzled, the general is just in time, help break it down!"
Yun Shi smiled mysteriously and said, "My subordinates are here for this matter, and there is a person who is here to answer questions to King Ming!"
Qing Ming was surprised: "Oh, is there such a coincidence?"
Yun Shi clapped his hands three times, and a man wearing a black trench coat, a black wide-brimmed hat, and a black mask, walked in from the door of the study and knelt on the ground from a distance. I saw him calmly take off his hat and mask, with a steady and resolute expression on his face, and bowed softly but confidently: "Little Liu Congzheng, meet King Ming!"
Qing Ming was shocked, and hurriedly gathered his eyes and looked carefully. That's right! This face is exactly the same as the person who died in the Prime Minister's Mansion during the day, and the person who was captured in the Taetea Business Group!
Qing Ming glanced back at Dusheng, and General Dusheng was also stunned.
At this time, Yun Shi smiled and said: "King Ming, don't be nervous! This person is Liu Congzheng of the Taetea Business Group, Fang Cai, he found me and begged me to take him to see King Ming, to tell you! Moreover, I have already sent someone to inquire, Yun Li has already rested, so I have the courage to bring him here!"
When Liu Congzheng heard this, he kowtowed, and still said in a confident voice: "Our Aluminum Clan has been oppressed by Yunsheng so far, and we are desperate!
