Chapter 332: Murder and Arson
Zhu Bai said: "You play music in the same way every day, and over time, it has become a habit. When you blow on the stage, because you deliberately conceal it, it is not obvious, and this king came in and wanted to listen to a few more songs, to be sure. Sure enough, when you got tired and didn't have the strength to cover up, the flaws became more and more obvious. ”
Xiang'er looked up at Zhu Bai: "So, the person who spent a hundred taels of silver to listen to the music that day and said it was not good was the person you sent to confirm our code." It's really hard to prevent. ”
In fact, there are occasionally people who really spend money to listen to music, so she didn't pay attention to it.
Zhu Bai nodded slightly and said with a little pride: "Actually, the people who have come to listen to your tunes in the past few days are all from this king?" After all, this king has killed fewer and fewer Japanese robbers. If the king had not sent someone to make up the numbers, there would have been not enough people to bid. You will find that something is wrong and run away. Neither can this king slay all the pirates. Don't be depressed either. After all, in order not to let you see through, this king also took the trouble to find a few people who looked similar to the Japanese among the guards, put on makeup, and changed their clothes. You sit behind that screen, and you can't make out the subtle difference. Even the water merchants are those who come to do business on weekdays. They said that they all had friends who had been killed, and that they were willing to cooperate with us as long as they could catch you. Therefore, if you do too much injustice, you will be killed. People still can't do bad things. ”
Xiang'er laughed, a little crazy: "Indeed." I really didn't recognize it, you're so smart. If we lose to you, we will not be wronged. We shouldn't have brought you in in a vain attempt to entangle you so that you don't have time to search. ”
Zhu Bai shook his head: "No, no, no, this king didn't intend to use such a stupid method from the beginning." As long as this king searches, he will startle the snake. I can't even catch the last one. The principle of this king has always been, either you don't do it, and as long as you do it, you will kill it!! ”
Xiang'er stared at Zhu Bai: "Then why didn't you kill us?" What the hell are you waiting for?!! ”
"Because it's not done yet." Zhu Bai smiled, turned his head and swept around with a calm gaze, and said, "This king is here to tell you." No one will come to your rescue. All the Japanese invaders, including the twenty-one groups lurking in the city and the ones who stayed in the reeds of the Yangtze River to meet you, have been completely wiped out by this king and Lord Wu, a total of 464 people. In Yangzhou City, the people who can be determined by this king to be your henchmen or those who are seriously suspected are also here. This is your last chance. Tell me honestly, whoever is your master, you may still have a chance to live. ”
Everyone kowtowed: "King Xiang spares his life, the villain really doesn't know." ”
"King Xiang, the villain is wronged."
Zhu Bai nodded: "It seems that this person's official position is really big enough, and it makes you more afraid than this king." Let this king guess, that person is Hu Weiyong. ”
There was a deathly silence below.
Zhu Bai laughed: "One hit is a hit." ”
The selection of official slaves to enter the Qinglou and the Red Mansion has always been the work of the Zhongshu Province and the Ministry of Households.
Except for Hu Weiyong, who has the courage to put Xiang'er to the mother-in-law who raised thin horses for training.
He only had one doubt, what did Hu Weiyong do this for?
Just to earn the hundreds of taels of silver that the widows listen to?
Isn't it okay to directly find a way to monopolize Yangzhou to transfer salt?
Then Zhu Bai glanced at the envoys.
Unless, there are still important people in the Department who are Lao Zhu's people, Hu Weiyong can't find their mistakes, can't replace them, and can't rebel.
Zhu Bai said to the envoy, "Get up and come with this king." ”
The envoy didn't know why this "little Hades" suddenly showed mercy, stood up tremblingly, and followed Zhu Bai to the side.
Zhu Bai asked solemnly: "This king has a few questions, and my lord must answer them truthfully." If there is a deviation, it may lead to the manslaughter of a good person and the escape of the traitor. ”
The envoy hurriedly saluted: "Yes, Weichen doesn't dare to hide the slightest deception." ”
Zhu Bai said: "Who else besides you was personally appointed by the emperor and has not been replaced." ”
The envoy said: "Only Weichen and the deputy envoy have been transported." ”
Zhu Bai: "This king asks you, can Hu Weiyong send someone to win you over." ”
The envoy hesitated for a moment before nodding: "Yes." Although the minister refused, he was afraid of offending Lord Hu, so he never told anyone. ”
In fact, I am afraid of being classified as a Hu party.
Really......
This Hu Weiyong, in order to arrange his henchmen, monopolize the dynasty program, and form an alliance with the Japanese invaders, did everything he could.
It is really inhumane and hateful to sacrifice the lives of the people and merchants......
Zhu Bai secretly gritted his teeth.
He turned around and said, "Deputy transfer envoys, all transfer envoys, the two of you will respond to the emperor to state this matter to the emperor." The others were handed over to the Yangzhou government for interrogation and then reported. ”
He just needs to find out who is behind the scenes, and he doesn't need evidence.
Lao Zhu wants evidence, but there are more ways to get it.
Therefore, this kind of drudgery of interrogating people will be handed over to the Yangzhou government to do.
Zhu Bai thought for a while, and then said, "Lord Prefect." Be sure to keep watch tonight in case anyone comes to silence it. ”
The prefect was busy, and the commander escorted the prisoners away.
Xiang'er glanced at Zhu Bai deeply before leaving.
Zhu Bai ignored her.
A vicious woman, no matter how good-looking she looks, makes him feel disgusting.
He was afraid that the main and deputy transfers would cause accidents on the road, so he asked the Yangzhou guards to send 100 people to escort them, set off overnight, and sent people to hurry up and go one step ahead to report to Lao Zhu in advance.
After arranging all this, Zhu Bai returned to the official tooth bureau and fell asleep.
Originally, he was supposed to take someone to guard outside the prison.
But he and his subordinates were really tired of killing the Japanese in the past few days.
And he already knows what he wants to know, there is no need.
In a daze at night, when he heard someone calling him, he opened his eyes and met the rich face.
The door was wide open, and the guards stood outside the door as if facing a great enemy, tense, with their backs facing inward and outward, holding wild goose swords and bows and arrows.
Zhu Bai was still a little confused and asked, "What's wrong?" Are there any assassins? ”
Who would have the audacity to come and assassinate him.
Fugui said: "The Yangzhou Mansion is on fire. ”
Zhu Bai sat up and turned his head blankly to look into the distance, only to find that the sky was glowing with a strange red.
Shouts and shouts came and went.
Zhang Yu turned around and said: "Wechen is afraid that someone will take advantage of the chaos to rob or rebel. ”
These people were originally outlaws, but now the dog is in a hurry to jump over the wall, and it is impossible to do things.
Zhu Bai's mind was completely turned at this time, and he asked Fugui: "Where did you say it was on fire?" ”
Fugui replied: "The person who came to report from the government said that it was a prison. ”
The Japanese and their henchmen in Yangzhou City have been cleansed, and only outsiders may have done it.
He asked someone to send the main and deputy transport envoys back to the sky overnight, and he even called people to extinguish the mouth and set the fire overnight, leaving no evidence at all.
What a good means.
