Chapter Thirty-Eight: Cause and Effect
Zuo Dao looked at the corpse of the lizard spirit in front of him, and asked people to collect dry firewood and burn the corpse completely.
As for the guards guarding the City Lord's Mansion, they were registered one by one and temporarily imprisoned in an abandoned military camp, guarded by the brocade guards.
After the affairs here were over, Zuo Dao sent someone to completely seal the City Lord's Mansion.
Officials large and small in the city were taken aback by the movement.
Quite a few officials sent their servants to watch from afar.
But they could only see a group of brocade guards constantly carrying the treasures of the City Lord's Mansion outside.
It was the first time they had seen the Jinyi Guard in this Youzhou so fierce.
It seems to have returned to the time when Jinyiwei had just entered Youzhou.
When Jin Yiwei first entered Youzhou, he was as arrogant and domineering as he is today, and there were no taboos.
It's just that after the inexplicable death of those two thousand households, the Jinyi Guard of Youzhou has been acting cautiously.
It's never been so bold.
It seems that today's cliff city is about to have a shocking change.
A group of officials were extremely worried.
……
The other side.
After Zuo Dao returned to the Jinyi Guard Yamen, he walked directly into the edict here.
At the very end of the prison is a separate cell.
Pushing open the door of the cell, I saw that Fan Quan, who had been bandaged, was now firmly tied to the cross.
Fan Quan's head was scattered, his head was lowered, his right hand was broken at the wrist, and blood was spilling from the bandage.
Zhao Hu stood in the corner, saw Zuo Dao coming, and hurriedly saluted: "My lord, the wound of this old thing has been bandaged, and it can't die for the time being." ”
"What do you want to ask, let the lowly position pry out of his mouth."
Hearing this, Zuo Dao said, "Wake him up." ”
Zhao Hu responded.
Then he walked to the side, took out a gourd and scooped a scoop of water, and splashed it directly on Fan Quan's face.
After the cold water violently stirred, Fan Quan suddenly shuddered and slowly opened his eyes.
Feeling the pain coming from his wrist, Fan Quan couldn't help but let out a low cry of pain.
He forcibly raised his head to look at Zuodao, gritted his teeth and said: "The surname Zuo, you and I are at the same level, why don't you give the old man a decent look." ”
He wanted the matter to be exposed, so he drew a sword in the city lord's mansion and killed himself.
But he didn't think that what he was in front of him was the thousand households of Jinyiwei, and he was also a strong man at the peak of his innateness.
If he successfully draws his knife and kills himself, where will Zuo Dao's face go?
When Zhao Hu heard this, he immediately said angrily: "Old thing, you gave up tens of thousands of people, but in the end you still want a decent one?" ”
Fan Quan glanced at Zhao Hu, and said to Zuo Dao: "You shouldn't humiliate the old man like this, he has tried a hundred households, what qualifications do he have to speak in front of the old man." ”
Zuo Dao waved his hand slightly and asked Zhao Hu to leave the cell.
Immediately, he sat down in front of Fan Quan and asked, "Since City Lord Fan has entered here, then tell everything you know, and perhaps, this thousand households will give you a good time." ”
Fan Quan laughed in a low voice: "To say it or not to say it, the left and right are a dead word." ”
He looked up at Zuo Dao, and said with a somewhat hideous face: "Although Fan is a scholar, he is also arrogant, Lord Zuo might as well try it, how can he pry Fan's mouth open." ”
When Zuo Dao heard this, he said with a smile: "Lord Fan is arrogant, but the heirs of your family, I don't know if they can survive the punishment of my Jinyi Guard." ”
When Fan Quan heard this, his face suddenly changed, and then he chuckled: "Lord Zuo, you don't want to cheat the old man, the old man has already sent them out of the city." ”
Hearing this, Zuo Dao said with a smile: "Oh, is it? ”
Immediately, he shouted outside the door: "Go and invite Lord Fan's wife to let Master Fan take a good look." ”
When Zhao Hu outside the door heard this, he immediately responded, and then left here directly.
Fan Quan's face twitched, and his eyes stared at Zuo Dao.
A moment later.
The door of the cell opened, and Zhao Hu casually threw the body of a woman with a knife in the abdomen on the ground.
Then he said: "My lord, when we were about to be arrested, this woman resisted arrest and accidentally killed her. ”
When Zuo Dao heard this, he waved his hand and said, "It's okay, you can go out!" ”
Zhao Hu bowed his hand slightly, and then walked out of the cell and closed the door.
Fan Quan looked down at the corpse on the ground, and said with trembling lips: "Madam, Madam......"
Zuo Dao opened his mouth and said: "You colluded with the demon clan, you should have been the whole clan, if you don't want yourself and your family to suffer, you will honestly tell everything about it." ”
Fan Quan took a deep breath and said, "Fan knows that the death penalty is inevitable, but can you please let the child go, he is only six years old, he is still young, and he doesn't know and has never participated in this matter." ”
Zuo Dao shook his head and said, "No, the law of Great Wei, Lord Fan should know better than me." ”
Fan Quan scolded angrily: "He is only six years old, killing children, aren't you afraid of God's punishment?" ”
Zuo Dao sneered: "Among the tens of thousands of people abandoned by you, how many six-year-old children are there that you are not afraid, what are you afraid of?" ”
"If you don't say it again, then don't blame Zuo for being ruthless, and let you see with your own eyes my Jinyiwei's Ling Chi methods."
Fan Quan glanced at Zuo Dao in a daze, and then sighed.
Then he said, "What does Lord Zuo want to know?" ”
Zuo Dao opened his mouth and said: "The affairs of Guobei County are fully revealed, including the demon envoy in your mansion and the things in the sky above Guobei County. ”
"And, this secret letter."
As he spoke, Zuo Dao took out the secret letter in his arms and held it in front of Fan Quan so that he could see it clearly.
After Fan Quan saw the secret letter, he smiled bitterly and said: "I see, no wonder Jinyiwei is so decisive this time." ”
In the next second, he said viciously: "I actually left the secret letter, stupid, big idiot." ”
Zuo Dao said dissatisfiedly: "Master Fan." ”
Fan Quan took a deep breath and said, "Since the adults want to know, then the official will tell the adults, but the adults don't be scared." ”
Zuo Dao spoke: "Master Fan doesn't have to worry about Zuo. ”
Fan Quan was silent for a moment before he continued to speak: "Do you think that this official doesn't want those tens of thousands of people to live? It's not that the official is unwilling, but the official can't. ”
"If I don't abandon the tens of thousands of people and Guobei County, then the next target is Linya City."
"Zuo Dao, you can hear clearly, what this official has abandoned is not the tens of thousands of people, but the entire Guobei County."
"The population of Guobei County is less than one-tenth of the territory of Linya City, as long as they sacrifice blood and lead to the White Tiger Dao species, I can sit back and relax in Linya City."
When Zuo Dao heard this, he frowned and said: "So you cooperated with the big demon in the Black Mountain, and wanted to sacrifice blood to Guobei County and lead out the White Tiger Dao species." ”
Fan Quan muttered to himself, "I also tried to find the White Tiger Dao species, but I couldn't find it at all. ”
He raised his head and looked at Zuo Dao in a daze, "You saved Guobei County this time, but who can save me in Linya City in the future?" ”
"Wait until the old demon of Montenegro breaks free from the shackles and comes with the tide of Montenegrin beasts, and sacrifices to Linya City to lead the White Tiger Dao to the world."
"Tell me, who can save me from Cliff City?"
