In addition, Li Hao is also worried that this guy is telling lies to deceive himself, although ordinary thieves should not be so loyal, but there are a few dead eyes if they can't keep it.

This is also the reason why Li Hao just asked people to take him down and be punished again, to see if he will change his mind this time.

Soon the bandit was brought back again, and this time he was obviously much more active, and when Li Hao began to ask, he lay on the ground and trembled and cried: "Please be merciful, what I just said is the truth, I dare to swear to the sky, if there is half a lie, there will be five thunders in the sky."

I really can't stand it, if there is anything you want me to ask or do, please just say it, I will do my best, and please let me go."

Seeing this guy like this, Li Hao believed that he was telling the truth, but he still asked, "Okay, since you said so, then you can tell me more about the situation of your cottage, I don't want to miss anything this time."

Although the bandits didn't understand why they had to say what they had explained before, they didn't dare to ask more based on the torture just now, so they hurriedly said it again.

According to this person's statement, the group of bandits in front of Li Hao now is a gathering of Xiping, Wufang, Yang'an and other counties, and the approximate number is not less than 4,000.

As for why these people gathered, this guy doesn't know, and he said that he only saw so many people after he came here with his own boss.

After that, Li Hao asked him to describe the terrain behind this cottage, and the deployment of the people and horses of the bandit cottage.

Coupled with Li Hao's follow-up questioning, this person can also make sense, so Li Hao basically believes that what this person said is true.

So Li Hao asked the subordinates to come in and take people away, but this guy thought that he was going to be tortured again, and he was about to collapse, so he kowtowed to Li Hao directly, and said, "What I said is true, please spare me."

This knock down, his head turned red, Li Hao estimated that he was really stimulated, and even said, "Don't worry, I don't want to take you down to be tortured, as long as you tell the truth, I will deal with you lightly."

Of course, if you let me know that you are lying to me, then you will understand the consequences, and I won't say more."

After listening to Li Hao's words, this guy finally stopped and followed the song out of Li Hao's big tent, while Li Hao himself pondered in the big tent.

In the end, Li Hao still planned to give it a try, anyway, it was best if he succeeded, and it was also a credit to be able to use this to remove the tumor in Runan County.

Even if he fails, there is actually no loss, it is just a delay of some time, and Li Hao is still delayed at this time.

So Li Hao changed to a new subordinate, and asked him to immediately prepare according to the contact information said by the thief to see if there was any bait.

And specially instructed that the movement should be small when the personnel are transferred, and don't show the horse's feet on it when the time comes, so that people can notice.

After they went to do things, Li Hao went to rest on his own, just ordered to report if there was news, anyway, the success of the next will not be transferred by Li Hao's will, and it was useless to wait.

However, perhaps Li Hao's luck is really good, but someone really fell for it and let Li Hao's trilogy be caught.

After Li Hao learned the news, he immediately asked, "Which family was arrested, and where are they now?"

The trilogy replied: "The person who was arrested is named Ye Qiu, born in the Langling Ye clan, when the head of the Ye family met with the adults, this person followed behind him, so he was recognized at a glance.

In order to prevent him from being brought back to startle the snakes, he was placed in an abandoned house three miles outside the camp, and some people were left there to keep an eye on him, so that no one else would find out."

Li Hao then asked, "That's fine, in addition, does he have anything to explain about why the Ye family colluded with the bandits."

The trilogy replied, "Regarding this, our man is still under interrogation, but this man's mouth is much harder than that bandit, and it will take some time to pry his mouth open."

For this reason, Li Hao can also accept it, but still urges:

"You inform them to operate as soon as possible, otherwise if the Ye family doesn't return tomorrow, they will definitely be alert, and it will be troublesome to come up with surprises at that time.

In addition, you sent someone to secretly keep an eye on the people of the Ye family, and sorted out who they have been in contact with recently, and you can integrate so many thieves and bandits at once, I don't believe that only their family is involved."

After receiving the order, he went to arrange, and Li Hao was thinking about this matter at this time, and he didn't have time to rest, so he waited for a reply in the big tent.

It wasn't until almost midnight that Li Hao finally got the long-awaited confession, and some of the things mentioned in this confession also surprised Li Hao.

First of all, the participants mentioned here, in addition to the Langling Ye family, also include the Xiping Wu family, the Canyang Cai family, and the Xinxi Li family, which Li Hao can understand, and it is somewhat expected by Li Hao.

What really surprised Li Hao was that there were two mysterious participants in it, and he was not sure of their specific identities, but he could confirm that they were not local people in Yuzhou, and it seemed that one of them might be related to Shudi.

Now Li Hao was happy in his heart, Shu is now Gongsun Shu's territory, if you want to talk about colluding with bandits, if you don't make any big noise.

That may lose a few heads, and it can be crossed at some cost, but it can be colluded with Shu to endanger the court, which is a heinous crime of raiding the family and exterminating the clan, and Li Hao has this handle in his hand Li Hao does not believe that the people of the Ye family dare to be disobedient.

And Li Hao now feels that this matter is not so simple, that is, about the wave of people whose identities Ye Qiu did not guess, Li Hao has some associations.

If the general trend has been set today, the only thing that is more noisy is Gongsun Shu and Longxi Kui Huan, but the land of Longxi is far away in Liang and Erzhou, too far away from Runan, and Kui Huan and Gongsun Shu are already connected, and there is no need to work hard together on such a trivial matter.

So apart from Kui Huan, who else would be so mysteriously involved in this matter, at this time, Li Hao remembered the Tianjia restaurant in the capital.

If you want to say that the people who want to embarrass the imperial court, the remnants of the emperor will definitely not be able to get rid of them, and these people do things secretly, and they have been in the capital for so many years without being discovered, so it is not difficult to hide from others this time.

It's just that Li Hao is strange, it stands to reason that the four families of Ye, Cai, Wu, and Li want to raise Kou and let them help do something unseemly, Li Hao is understandable.

But no matter what Li Hao thought, he didn't expect that the purpose of their collusion with these two families could not be that they really thought that Gongsun Shu and Emperor Lu still had the power to return to heaven, and that vision was too bad.

But it doesn't matter if you don't understand it, anyway, now that the initiative is already in Li Hao's hands, just call Ye directly to ask.

Of course, this time Li Hao asked him to directly adjust part of the part to follow, although Li Hao didn't think that the people of the Ye family would jump over the wall at this time, but in order to be the only one, he still let him take it.

And when the head of the Ye family received the order to meet Li Hao late at night, he was also nervous, after all, he only sent someone to contact the bandits today, and he has not come back yet.

So he was naturally worried that because this matter was exposed, Li Hao let himself go over to settle accounts with himself, so he asked, "It's getting late today, or I'll go to Yuan Duwei to talk back to him tomorrow, so as not to disturb Yuan Duwei's rest."

The song replied, "My son-in-law specially ordered the adults to rush there immediately, thinking that there is an urgent matter to discuss, and please don't embarrass me."

The Ye family master replied, "Why did Lord Yuan invite me over, and why was he so anxious?"

Bu Qu replied: "How can my son-in-law tell me everything, but my son-in-law said that it is for the good of the adults to let the adults go, and this time only one of the adults was invited over.

So please come over as soon as possible and don't make my son-in-law wait too long."

The head of the Ye family felt uneasy when he heard this, feeling that Li Hao should know something, maybe the people he sent out had already fallen into Li Hao's hands.

Of course, he only thought that the most he could do now was to find out the trouble of befriending bandits, after all, it wasn't long before he sent his own people, and the interrogation wouldn't be so fast.

[In view of the general environment,

And you said that let him directly pull the flag and rebel, he really didn't have the courage, Runan is the heart of the imperial court after all, and there are many soldiers and horses around, and there is no hope of success if it is really reversed.

So he could only comfort himself, Li Hao obviously didn't plan to kill them all, and after hesitating, he still agreed: "Okay, then let's go, please lead the way."

In this way, the head of the Ye family was anxious to see Li Hao in his heart, and Li Hao simply handed over the confession just now to the head of the Ye family, and said: "The head of the Ye family is quite bold, and it will be zero to make friends with bandits, how can even Emperor Yu and Gongsun Shu dare to provoke?"

This made the head of the Ye family slump to the ground, because Li Haozhen was right, because those two mysterious forces were Gongsun Shu and Emperor Yu.

Of course, he didn't know about this situation at first, because it was the Wu family who brought these two families in at the beginning, so he didn't suspect it at the time.

It was only in the later contact that he gradually discovered that the situation of these two groups was wrong, and then he discovered it after careful investigation, but at that time he could no longer get off this thief ship.

immediately knelt down and said, "My Ye family was also deceived and coerced in, and I ask Lord Yuan to save the Ye family!"

Li Hao replied when he heard this: "Since I only called you to come, I naturally saved you, but I am afraid that I am powerless to commit such a heinous crime.

Why don't you tell me how you were deceived and coerced, if it's really excusable, I'll see if I can help you come up with an idea."

Now the head of the Ye family hates the Wu family to death, if they hadn't messed around, how could they have turned things into the way they are now, so even if they said the matter one hundred and fifty ten.

Combined with the original confession, Li Hao is roughly clear about the ins and outs of this group of bandits.

First of all, this group of bandits was indeed made by the Ye, Wu, Cai, and Li families, but at the beginning, they just wanted to raise their self-esteem and maintain their local power.

Therefore, they are all doing their own things and not interfering with each other, but the previous state pastor acted too radically and wanted to put down the bandits in Yuzhou in a short time.

This naturally hit the interests of many families in Yuzhou, including the Ye, Wu, Cai, and Li families, so at the suggestion of the Wu family, the four families united.

Then, in order to deal with the conscription of the army, the Wu family brought in two more families on the grounds that someone could own their own ordnance, that is, Gongsun Shu and Emperor Yu.

It's just that the Ye family master didn't know at that time, they just thought that it was the power of the Wu family that was pulled from other places, or they didn't find out until they realized that something was wrong and intentionally explored it.

At that time, there were many families united in Yuzhou, and the previous state pastor's skill ability was poor, so it eventually led to the final failure of the bandits, and this was also the opportunity for Liang Wuji to come to Yuzhou to take up his post.

Regarding the situation that the Ye family master said, Li Hao must not believe it in his heart, after all, how many people in this world can generously give a large number of ordnance, how can he not doubt it, it is not that he covets this batch of ordnance, so he deliberately pretends to be deaf and dumb.

It's just that Li Hao didn't mean to debunk it, because Li Hao wanted to use this to make the Ye family use it for himself, so he said, "In this way, this Wu family is really hateful, and it must be strictly investigated, as for you......

Hearing Li Hao's words, it was obvious that he had the intention of turning around, and the head of the Ye family said: "My Ye family is indeed guilty of this matter, but please think of a way to save the Ye family, and in the future, my Ye family will definitely obey the life of the adult."

Li Hao heard the words and replied: "The Ye family master's words are serious, I invited you over alone today, I just want to help, but it's useless just that I want to help, after all, you have to save yourself."

After all, it has happened, so it is up to someone to take responsibility for this matter, and there are those bandits here, in case they deliberately pull people into the water, what can I say then?

And the Wu family is the same, can't you do it in advance?"

After listening to Li Hao's words, the head of the Ye family didn't know what Li Hao was planning, didn't he just want them to take the lead and get rid of the bandits and the Wu family.

Although it may be relatively large to get down a few families in this way, in order to ensure the safety of the family, the head of the Ye family can also go out

。

It's just that he was still a little worried, and when they finished doing this, they would be sold by Li Hao when they turned around, and it would really be worth the loss, so he asked again, "My lord, this can really let us get out."

Li Hao also understood his worries, so he replied: "That is naturally not so easy, with the matter of the Wu family, at most it is to clear up the matter described by the remnants of Emperor Lu and Gongsun, and there should always be an explanation for the things that can be linked to the bandits."

At this point, the Ye family master believed it a little more, if it was really Li Hao who let his family pass the test so easily and didn't pay any price, then the Ye family master was really suspicious.

So he immediately replied: "Your Excellency, don't worry, since my Ye family has done something wrong, I will never shirk the price I should pay, as for the Cai and Li families, I don't know what the adults want to do."

Li Hao replied: "Since they are also deceived people, it is okay if they want to make meritorious contributions, and I specially advise that the Wu family is not a thief or the like after all, and I hope you can know the scale."

Knowing Li Hao's scale, the head of the Ye family should leave to find the people of the Cai and Li families to discuss how to end the matter.
