Chapter 32: Interrogation (1)

Walking through the streets and alleys, he took a shortcut to finally arrive at the gate of the street division, and the two city attendants in charge of guarding the gate saw that this kid riding a donkey was a little familiar, and when he got closer, he saw the other party's face clearly, isn't it the royal order that has been missing for many days?

For this newly recruited kid, which of the street divisions dares to say that they don't know? In less than a month, there have been several movements, which one does not make people's jaws drop?

Wang Ling patted the little black donkey's buttocks, and it obediently returned to the way it came, actually understanding what Wang Ling meant.

Seeing the little black donkey disappear into the corner of the street, he turned around, but saw the guard in front of the door looking at him as if he had seen a ghost, he smiled and waved his hand and said, "Good afternoon, two brothers." ”

The guards glanced at each other and said in their hearts, how dare this royal order come back, is he really not afraid of death? One of them glanced at his companion, who immediately understood, rushed into the yamen, and returned with a large crowd in a short time.

Wang Ling saw the person at the head, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, it turned out to be Zhang Zhanyi, who had broken his wrist by himself, and said in his heart, shouldn't he lie in the river ditch in Xicheng? How did it end up here?

Hearing the guard's announcement that Wang Ling appeared at the door, Zhang Zhanyi didn't believe it yet, but now when he saw that it was really Wang Ling, his heart instantly blossomed, not to mention the personal enmity with Wang Ling, just this person and Liang Zi of Dongchuan Houfu, whoever caught him was a great achievement! Such a good thing actually allowed me to bump into it.

Immediately didn't talk nonsense, Zhang Zhanyi waved his hand and shouted: "Take it!" The city attendants behind him drew their swords and surrounded Wang Ling, but no one dared to take a step forward, but they just signaled their companions to go first with their eyes, and no one wanted to be this bird.

Seeing this, Zhang Zhanyi frowned and said sharply: "What are you waiting for?!" Don't take this wingman down yet! ”

A city attendant reminded: "Boss, he killed six seven-rank and one six-rank before, I... We..."

Only then did he think of Wang Ling's previous achievements, he himself was a seventh grade, didn't he say that Wang Ling had the strength to fight seven small flag officers alone? This time, Zhang Zhanyi was also in trouble, if he was an ordinary person, he said that he would not be able to be majestic, and shouted: Get out of the way! I'll meet with you.

But the other party is a ruthless man who can block seven small flag officials by one person, although Zhang Zhanyi is a reckless man with developed limbs and a simple mind, he is also a little cowardly at this time, calculating the chances of winning between each other, not to mention his strength, just saying that his hand is in the hands of the person in front of him, and now his injury has not healed, let alone Wang Ling's opponent.

The current situation is quite difficult to ride.

Just when these people were embarrassed and didn't dare to make a move, Wang Ling suddenly said, "What are you waiting for? I'm here to surrender, so get me arrested. ”

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, Zhang Zhanyi didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Wang Ling's gourd, and asked tentatively: "You came back to surrender?" ”

"Exactly." Wang Ling replied calmly.

Zhang Zhanyi turned around in his sockets with a pair of big eyes and said, "Take the shackles and bring this person into the dungeon." ”

In this way, all the shackles and shackles were worn, and Wang Ling was personally escorted into the dungeon by Zhang Zhanyi.

It's the first time I've come in with the Dungeon King Order of the Street Division, and I didn't have this opportunity before, but I'm lucky enough to see it today, but it's as a prisoner.

The dungeon went deep underground, and the jailer led the way before descending the stairs, and a gust of wind carried the stench of feces, urine and corpses to his face.

Wang Ling pinched his nose with his hand, and said in an urn voice: "Isn't it uncomfortable for this dungeon jailer to stay?" It's so clean-up. ”

"Less nonsense, let's go!" Zhang Zhanyi pushed Wang Ling very impatiently, just wanted to find a cell to stuff Wang Ling in as soon as possible, and then quickly leave this ghost place, although he had been here many times, it was still difficult to get used to this disgusting smell.

In the dim candlelight, the group passed through the narrow passage, and from time to time there were cries of prisoners on the left and right sides, and a pair of blood-stained dry hands passed through the iron fence, trying to grab Wang Ling and the others, and they were responded to by the whip of the jailer.

Just when Wang Ling was curious about which cell he would be placed in, he found that he was brought into the interrogation room, and the room was full of torture instruments, which were still mottled with black blood.

Wang Ling turned his head to look at Zhang Zhanyi and said, "Zhang Xiaoqi, are you planning to torture me directly?" ”

"What? Scared? Wasn't you quite arrogant when you broke my hand that day? Zhang Zhanyi said with a cruel smile.

Wang Ling knew that he was planning to take the opportunity to take revenge, and warned: "Aren't you afraid of commanding the lord to surrender?" ”

As soon as this remark came out, Zhang Zhanyi really moved, there were rumors in the street department that Du Mingtang was the support behind Wang Ling, and some good people combined the two things at the gate and the council hall on the day Wang Ling's entry, thinking that the commander was deliberately shielding Wang Ling, at first this was just a little rumor between a few people, which is also one of the reasons why Wang Dianyu and others have not retaliated against him, although they feel unlikely, but they still have scruples.

However, this has become the consensus of most people recently, just because after Wang Ling beat Lu Jialei, the commander showed a very negative attitude towards it, and even avoided the Dongchuan envoy, and never sent people to search and arrest inside and outside the city, therefore, more and more people believe that Du Mingtang must have something to do with Wang Ling.

Zhang Zhanyi is even more convinced of this, not for anything else, and the fact that he can stand here now is the best evidence.

At the beginning, Du Mingtang punished him to clean up the river in the west of the city, for a month, Bai Zhijun saw Du Mingtang's attitude towards the beating of the Hou Shizi of Dongchuan, in order to determine whether there was a relationship between Wang Ling and Du Mingtang, he gave Guo Chao an idea, let him transfer Zhang Zhanyi back on the grounds of shortage of personnel, if Du Mingtang agreed, it would prove that he punished Zhang Zhanyi at the beginning, just to help Wang Ling relieve the siege, and this purpose has already been achieved, Zhang Zhanyi does not care if he is not in the west of the city, if he does not agree, it proves that the two have no relationship, Du Mingtang's actions have other purposes.

Guo Chao went to see Du Mingtang with the attitude of giving it a try, and the answer he got was obvious, Zhang Zhanyi was successfully transferred back, but Guo Chao himself was not happy at all, and now Zhang Zhanyi suddenly made a mistake after hearing Wang Ling's words, to be honest, he is a reckless man, but he is also a little clever, in this street division wants to mix, offending no one can offend the commander.

Anyway, this kid is going to die, and Dongchuan Houfu will not let him go, so let him be arrogant for a while······ Zhang Zhanyi was unwilling to put down the torture instrument in his hand, he glared at Wang Ling viciously, and his fierce gaze seemed to be able to eat people.

Wang Ling naturally didn't know about Zhang Zhanyi's inner drama, the reason why he mentioned Du Mingtang was nothing more than gambling, betting that these people had doubts about his relationship with Du Mingtang, not to mention Zhang Zhanyi, Wang Ling himself had similar guesses.

After seeing Zhang Zhanyi's expression change, Wang Ling breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and at the same time said with a playful smile on his face: "Zhang Xiaoqi is not going to try?" I'm a soft-boned man, and if you try two or three things on me, I'll cry and beg for mercy. ”

"You're less proud! Beat the son of the world in the street and killed seven people, do you think you can escape this catastrophe? Even if you have something to do with the commander, he can't keep you! Zhang Zhanyi said angrily.

Wang Ling sneered and didn't speak, and said in his heart, I'm just scaring you, I really don't expect him Du Mingtang to protect me, and I will ask you to send me out in person, disgusting you dog!

At this time, a jailer hurriedly came and said to Zhang Zhanyi: "Zhang Xiaoqi, let Zun send someone to report, and order you to bring the royal order to the front hall as soon as possible. ”

When listening to the first half, Zhang Zhanyi's face was still a little ugly, but after listening to the second half, he immediately laughed and said: "Wang Ling, this time I see how long you can be arrogant!" ”

"Laugh, you won't be able to laugh in a while." Wang Lingdao.

Zhang Zhanyi's laughter froze, and when he saw Wang Ling, Zhang Zhanyi even had an illusion, feeling that this kid seemed to be happier than himself, and the anticipation and excitement in his eyes were almost overflowing.

Can Wang Ling not be excited? He waited for this moment after a busy day, just to see Lu Jialei's deflated expression, and now that he has such an addition as Zhang Zhanyi, he can't be happier.

Zhang Zhanyi snorted coldly, and led people to escort Wang Ling out of the dungeon again, when passing by a cell, Wang Ling suddenly noticed that there was a person squatting in that cell, unkempt and unkempt, and the beard on his face had not been trimmed for many days, the reason why Wang Ling noticed this person was because the person's eyes made him feel like he was being watched by a fierce beast, cold and bloodthirsty, not mixed with the slightest emotion.

But when he tried to look more closely, the man slowly closed his eyes and shrank in the corner of the cell.

What a terrible look, who is this ······? Wang Ling muttered in his heart.

Then Wang Ling was taken out of the dungeon, and as soon as he entered, he was taken away, which made people feel inexplicably ridiculous, as if he had gone through a motion.

After the king ordered them to leave, the prisoner's eyes suddenly opened again, and his mouth was full of words, but his voice was too small to make out what he was saying, and he saw that the hand he had hidden at his side turned over, and there was an extra knife about the width of his little thumb, which was carefully rubbed against the iron chain at his ankle, and I don't know how long he had been locked in this dungeon, and the knife had already ground only half of the broken shackles, and the jailer did not find it.

······

Wang Ling's side has been brought to the front hall by Zhang Zhanyi, Du Mingtang and the general banners of each house are there, and there is a young man Wang Ling does not know, who is standing with Zhang Haifeng, Bai Zhijun and others, Wang Ling thought about it and guessed that this person should be Liu Ji from Qizhou, so he couldn't help but take a few more looks.

This person has a fair face and clear facial features, his eyes are not big and narrowed into a slit, he always has a three-point smile on his face, and he looks harmless to people and animals, if he didn't already know what he has done in the past few days, Wang Ling may really think that he is a good person.

It seems that he felt Wang Ling's gaze, Liu Ji also looked at him, the moment the two eyes collided, Liu Ji was extremely curious, he had been in Qingzhou City for a while, and naturally knew Wang Ling, after all, the Hou Shizi of Dongchuan was beaten all over the city, how could he not know? It's just a little surprising that this rumored third-class city servant is so young, probably less than twenty years old, and he can't help but laugh secretly, it is really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers.

Wang Ling only glanced at Liu Ji, then looked away, he looked around but didn't see Lu Jialei's figure, he felt a little surprised, and said in his heart, didn't he say that Dongchuan Hou Shizi came? Why don't you see others?

Seeing that Wang Ling was looking left and right, ignoring everyone, even Zhao Hailong, who had always been neutral, felt a little displeased, if it was in the past, it would be enough, now Liu Ji is watching from the sidelines, no matter what, Wang Ling is still a member of the Street Division, such a move that no one in his eyes, he didn't take them in his eyes at all, didn't this make this Qizhou guy see a joke, Zhao Hailong swept to Liu Ji's location with the corner of his eye, and saw that he had a lively expression, and there was a sarcastic smile on his face.

Wang Dianyu pressed the hilt of the knife and stepped out of the ranks, pointed at Wang Ling and shouted: "Bold! Dare to look around in the court, and kneel down quickly! ”

"Noise." Wang Ling just glanced at him, quite disdainful, and then bowed to Du Mingtang: "Envoy, do I need to kneel?" ”

Du Mingtang's tone was majestic, and he asked rhetorically, "Do you want to kneel?" ”

"I don't want to." Wang Ling's answer was calm and refreshing.

"Then let's stand." Du Mingtang said, Zhang Haifeng's face was stunned, but he didn't seem to show too much surprise about this, after all, everyone had already seen that Du Mingtang and this kid must have some kind of relationship, and they only felt resentment in their hearts, but Liu Ji glanced at Du Mingtang in surprise, and then looked at Wang Ling, his eyes flashed faintly, not knowing what he was thinking.

Bai Zhijun was the most calm, the only difference was that he glanced at Du Mingtang vaguely, and his eyes were cold.

"Wang Ling, do you know what crime you have committed?" Du Mingtang asked.

Wang Lingdao: "My subordinates don't know. ”

Wang Dianyu had just been despised by Wang Ling, but now he seized the opportunity to jump out again, and snorted coldly: "Attacking the prince and killing the guards of Dongchuan Houfu, you are committing a capital crime!" ”

Wang Ling looked innocent and exclaimed, "Why did Wang Zongqi say this? ”

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and no one expected that what he did that day was in full view of everyone, and he dared to deny it.

"There are not a few people who witnessed your evil deeds that day, and you dare to deny it, don't you really think that you can be lawless if you have a commander to protect your lords?!" Wang Dianyu was in a hurry for a while, and accidentally said what was in his heart, as soon as his words came out, he realized that he had lost his words, his body suddenly stiffened, cold sweat soaked from his forehead and back, and he didn't dare to look back.

The scene was embarrassing, and almost at the same time, everyone's eyes involuntarily looked at Du Mingtang.

"Wang Zongqi, you said that I shielded this royal order, is there any evidence?" Du Mingtang's tone was cold, and his eyes were even sharper.

Frightened, Wang Dianyu hurriedly explained: "Envoy, the subordinates are impatient and do not choose to speak, and there is absolutely no disrespect for the envoy, and please forgive the sins." ”

Wang Ling only thought it was ridiculous, you said it clearly, and now you say that you don't mean that, can you still stuff the things you pulled out back the same way?

"Oh?" Du Mingtang stared at him coldly.

Everyone thought that Du Mingtang was going to attack Wang Dianyu, but the corners of the commander's mouth suddenly rose, and he actually said with a smile: "Well, since you say so, then you will preside over the case." ”

"Ahh What do you say? Wang Dianyu thought that he had heard it wrong, not only him, but others also couldn't believe their ears, originally they all thought that the command envoy would be the same as before, and they did their best to protect the king's order, how did they know that he gave the presiding power to Wang Dianyu, which was completely beyond everyone's expectations.

Wang Ling was also quite puzzled by this, he looked at Du Mingtang, and happened to see Du Mingtang looking at him with a smile in the corner of his eyes.

Although he has not had much contact with Du Mingtang, the other party has always given Wang Ling a feeling of being in the clouds, making him feel elusive from afar, even if he helped him out of the siege several times, Wang Ling did not dare to say that this person was on the same front as him, this kind of unreasonable kindness always made it difficult for people to feel at ease, but so far Wang Ling still has no idea what this person wants to get from himself, especially when he saw a record about him in the furniture shop before, there is almost no content at all, It made Wang Ling feel that this Du Mingtang was definitely not a good person, and now he suddenly let Wang Dianyu judge him unusually, which really made people guess what he was thinking.

What the hell is this old fox doing······ Wang Ling secretly guarded.
