Chapter 151: One Dead
Xu Jiaorong asked, "Do you know where Chen Shuhua is hiding?"
Zheng Jiaohe said, "I only know that she has a hideout in Nanyang, which was transformed from an ancient immortal cave, but I don't know the specific location."
Xu Jiaorong nodded: "Very good, from now on, you have to accept our investigation."
"I will fully cooperate, please rest assured." Zheng Jiaohe had already expected it, but he was very calm, "Please go to the living room and wait for a while, I will change this crane and talk to you immediately."
At this time, the spirit officer had already surrounded this place, so naturally he didn't have to worry about Zheng Jiaohe running away.
Xu Jiaorong looked at him deeply: "Be quick."
Zheng Jiaohe said, "Okay."
Xu Jiaorong turned around and walked out, and a few Taoist priests were still a little hesitant, but when they saw that Xu Jiaorong had already walked out, they didn't insist, and they also walked out together.
At this time, only Zheng Jiaohe was left in the signing room.
Zheng Jiaohe opened the sound transmission array on the bookcase, and his tone was as usual: "It's me. I don't want to go back to an ad hoc meeting today. Okay, that's all."
After finishing speaking, Zheng Jiaohe wrote a few lines of book on white paper, put it on the bookcase, stood up, took another look at his signature room, took off the crane on his body, changed into a regular clothes, and pressed the Wuyue crown on the paper.
Then Zheng Jiaohe took out a brand-new "Painted Dragon Handcuff" from Sumeru, with beautiful curves and exquisite decoration, not like a murderous weapon, but like a good handicraft, but the color is a little different from ordinary handcuffs, this handcuff is glossy and dark throughout, just like obsidian. This kind of handcuff is very powerful, and Yao Pei once gave Qi Xuansu a handful.
Zheng Jiaohe skillfully loaded a shot of "Dragon Eye Armor Seven", which was the maximum endurance of the "Dragon Drawing Handcuff", and gently rubbed the pitch-black gun, and finally raised the handcuff with one hand and stuffed the gun tube into his mouth little by little.
If the gun is fired head-on, then one gun may not be able to kill a celestial being. But the inside of a person is always the most fragile, and if the projectile directly bypasses the true qi and the external body and explodes directly in the body, it is another matter.
Xu Jiaorong was waiting in the living room outside the door, expressionless.
A subordinate couldn't help but remind, "Second seat, why wouldn't Zheng Jiao commit suicide?"
Xu Jiaorong just closed his eyes and didn't speak.
The subordinate shrank his head and didn't dare to say more.
It wasn't until there was a deafening bang in the signing room that Xu Jiaorong slowly opened his eyes and commanded softly, "Okay, you guys go in."
A group of Taoist spiritual officials entered the signing room, and found that Zheng Jiaohe had committed suicide, and his whole head was about to blow up, and he left a desperate letter before he died, admitting all the crimes and not involving others.
Xu Jiaorong was still sitting in the reception room, his face calm.
Zheng Jiaohe's suicide was the result of Jiang Dazhen's acquiescence.
Xu Jiaorong was waiting outside the door for the sound.
After Zheng Jiaohe committed suicide, he could save many people. The reason is also very simple, if it is thoroughly investigated, it will inevitably implicate a large area, then more than half of the Borneo provincial government will collapse, which will greatly disrupt the balance and stability.
There is a very famous story of "burning letters" in the history books. It is said that the two armies are facing each other, and the difference in strength is huge, and the enemy is several times that of their side, and many people think that they are invincible, and many people write letters to surrender to the enemy. After the commander got these letters, he did not pursue them, but let the letters be burned in public, and those who fornicated with the enemy were ashamed and grateful, thus winning the hearts of the people.
Therefore, Qi Xuansu has long understood that in dealing with this kind of thing, justice or not is a relatively minor factor, and the key lies in stability and balance, and all justice has a major premise, that is, stability and balance cannot be destroyed. This is the rule of the game, and unless you can break it, you have to follow it.
Xu Jiaorong has been in Daomen for so many years, of course she understands this truth, she is not an idealist, she is a realist, so she agrees with Jiang Dazhen's decision.
Soon, news of Zheng Jiaohe's death spread throughout Borneo.
A lot of people
ran to the Wang family's mansion, not only to find a reassuring pill from Wang Jiaohe, but also to see the direction of the wind. More people are drawing lines and starting to stand in line and cut.
Wang Jiaohe knew that Jiang Dazhen still took care of the overall situation, and finally let Zheng Jiaohe die, and did not continue to investigate along the line of Zheng Jiaohe. If Jiang Dazhen wants Zheng Jiaohe to live, then Zheng Jiaohe can't die. To put it bluntly, Jiang Dazhen wants to keep a complete Borneo Daofu, which is the foundation of Daomen's rule over the South Seas. If the rule of the Daomen in Nanyang is shaken, it will never work. All struggles must be based on the premise of ensuring the stability of Daomen's rule in Nanyang. Look at the book
Because of this, in most cases, no matter how much you fight, you will not use extreme measures. But if you are really in a desperate situation, you will definitely fight to the death. When you are desperate, the brave wins when you meet on a narrow road, and it is really uncertain who will die or live.
Therefore, many people ran to Wang Jiaohe's house, in fact, it conveyed a meaning, it was time to fight to the death, and if they didn't make any move, the whole army would be wiped out. Zheng Jiaohe's today is our tomorrow.
Wu'an Province is the largest port in Dayu Province, about 200 miles from the northeast of the capital Thang Long Province, it is the third largest province after Thang Long Province and Annam Province, and it has seven counties under its jurisdiction, which is very close to Lingnan Province and has relatively developed trade.
In addition, there is the second largest shipbuilding workshop in Nanyang. Although Dayu cannot produce many parts directly, it can be transported here for assembly, and there are many large shipyards here. If there is any damage to the ships in the city, it will also be replenished from here.
At this time, countless workers were busy in the Wu'an Fu shipyard, with many cranes to lift all kinds of steel onto the ships under construction.
Some ships are already taking shape, while others are just frames.
A team of spiritual officers entered the workshop, guarded the entrances and exits, and forbade them to enter and leave at will.
The workers' eyes were full of horror, but they did not stop their work.
A moment later, Li Changge came in surrounded by a group of Taoist priests.
Li Changge looked around and ordered, "Don't interfere with their production."
"Yes." The spirit officer immediately responded.
Li Changge led people to the depths of the shipbuilding workshop.
According to intelligence, Sun Jiaofeng has not returned home these days, and has been hiding in this shipyard. Li Changge came from Thang Long Mansion to Wu'an Mansion.
There is a single-family two-story building in the shipyard, which is where Sun Jiaofeng's signing room is located.
Li Changge entered the living room on the first floor, and the stewards in the shipyard had already received the news, and they were all waiting here, like prisoners, with their heads bowed and their hands down, and when they saw Li Changge coming in, they saluted one after another.
There are those who shout about the small national teacher, and there are those who shout Li Gaogong.
Li Changge asked, "What about Sun Jiaofeng?"
Several stewards looked at each other, and the last gray-haired old steward stood up and said, "Sun Jiaofeng is not here, he is on the King."
"The King?" Li Changge asked.
The steward hurriedly said, "This is an old warship with many sails, and it is very beautiful. However, since the advent of ironclads, these sail warships have become unpopular, and they have withdrawn from the naval fleet of the Westerners. Boss Sun...... Sun Jiaofeng liked this kind of warship very much, so he bought it with his own money, and transformed this battleship, which can be used to entertain guests and hold drinking parties, just like the painting boat in Jiangnan, but it is much larger than the painting boat, and it is usually moored on the pier."
Li Changge only said three words: "Take me there."
"Yes, yes, yes." The steward answered and led the way.
Soon, Li Changge and his party came to the dock and also saw the Western warship named "King".
As the steward had said, the ship was indeed very beautiful, with snow-white sails cascading like clouds, a clean hull, and a beautiful bow statue, as if it were some king of the Western Ocean.
It's just that the "King" at this time is very unusual, dead and silent, and there is not half a figure on the deck.
Li Changge frowned, waved his hand, and motioned for the spirit officials to board
Deck.
At that moment, the sound of the harp sounded on the ship.
There was sadness in the sound of the piano, and it was very hurried, as if it were a stormy wave on the sea, wave after wave, wave after wave, as if to send the ship on the crest of the wave to the sky.
Li Changge's face changed slightly.
At this moment, the entire ship instantly turned into a fireship.
Flames erupted from the cracks in the hull, and the white sails and clean decks were instantly enveloped in flames.
These fires were not ordinary flames, but gunpowder with "dragon eyes" and "phoenix eyes", which were difficult to extinguish, and ordinary spirit officials could not get close to them at all.
Soon, the skyrocketing fire burned the mast, and part of the mast poured into the water. There are also masts that have not yet been burned off, and the fire is going all the way up the mast, as if it is about to raise a fire to the sky.
There are also flames that spread to the sea, just like the "ignorant fire" of Fenglin Island, burning on the surface of the water, reflecting the sea surface into a fiery red.
Li Changge stood on the shore, and the fire reflected his figure red.
In the midst of this sky-high fire, the sound of the piano became smaller and smaller, and finally it was inaudible.
A spirit officer asked Li Changge for instructions, "Deputy Hall Master, what should I do now?"
Li Changge's tone was calm: "To live to see people, to die to see corpses, to verify the body."
The spiritual officer shouted his command.
The fire grew bigger and bigger, and one mast after another kept falling and smashing on the deck. The deck was already fragile and was directly collapsed.
Those beautiful ship buildings also crumbled and collapsed in the fire.
Soon, the entire ship began to sink and the fire gradually became smaller.
The spirits jumped into the water and began to search.
There are also monks who spread their minds to make sure that no one escapes from the water while the fire is in danger.
In the end, the spirit officer fished out a charred corpse from the water, and after multiple examinations, it was determined that it was Sun Jiaofeng.
After his son and daughter were arrested one after another, the behind-the-scenes boss of Nanyang United Trading Company knew that he was desperate and chose to die. Along with him were various accounts.
