I don't know how long later, when the last companion was called away, and still didn't see anyone return, Mr. Yuan finally couldn't sit still.

In other words, he finally no longer has to pretend to be strong in front of his peers and subordinates.

He stood up, frowning, and looked at the door that had been opened so many times today.

The door of the cell was quickly opened.

After Xia Jingyun exerted layers of psychological pressure and took another dose of fierce medicine, he finally crushed a person's heartstrings and made a key breakthrough, and the people behind him had no will to resist.

Anyway, everyone else has been recruited, the confessions are all in front of them, and the person who tried the case can clearly explain one, two, three, four, five, what's the point of being stubborn and resisting!

The huge difference between release and decapitation, and the sticky and undried blood on the soles of their feet, made them choose to be the ones who knew the times.

In the end, it was Mr. Yuan's turn.

When he was brought to Xia Jingyun, this was the first time he really looked at this long-known man so closely.

It seems that since he was born, the situation of his lord has taken a sharp turn for the worse, and the previously invincible layout has begun to make repeated mistakes in the most critical steps.

And these are the key endings of his own father-in-law after many years of plotting, one after another, all of them were stirred up by the man in front of him, so that in the end, even his own life was confessed.

Now that he has fallen into his hands, is he really the lone star of his own faction?

While he was thinking wildly, he heard a clear and pleasant voice in his ears like a spring breeze, which was incompatible with this bloody cell, "Yuan Shikun? ”

Mr. Yuan chuckled in his heart and forced his composure, "It's just a cheap name, not enough to worry about." ”

Xia Jingyun didn't say much politely to him, and said calmly: "Now that the news I want is almost done, if you cooperate, I really don't mind letting you go, but if you don't cooperate, I don't mind having an extra pool of blood on the ground." ”

Yuan Shikun stepped on the thick plasma on the ground and sneered, "Lord Xia, they are all people who understand, so you don't have to lie to me with this kind of ghost unbelieving words." I am the remnant of the Prime Minister's Mansion and a thief, if you let me go without permission, and if it is known, and you go to Your Majesty, you will not be able to eat and walk around! Why do you dare to let me go? ”

Xia Jingyun smiled faintly, "I have three questions, if you answer them, I can release you, and after listening to these three questions, you will also know that what I said is true." ”

"First, why did you come to Longshou Prefecture after the fall of the Prime Minister's Mansion? What arrangements did Qin Sichao have for you before? ”

"Second, Qin Sichao has eight horses under him, two of them died, you one, where are the remaining five people? What is the identity? What are the characteristics? ”

"Third."

Xia Jingyun stared at Yuan Shikun's eyes, observed the changes in his eyes, and said slowly: "Is Qin Sichao dead or not?" ”

Yuan Shikun looked at Xia Jingyun blankly, could his own lord still not die?

Aren't all the corpses taken away by the Black Ice Terrace?

Xia Jingyun retracted his gaze, "Think about it, I've thought about it and give me an answer whether to recruit or not, I'm tired enough today, and I don't want to waste any more time." ”

Yuan Shikun hesitated and pursed his lips silently.

Xia Jingyun sneered, "Do you think that after the death of Qin Sichao, as the leader of the Qin family, it is necessary for you to be responsible for them, you have to assume the responsibility of the leader, a leader should not confess, should not do such a thing?" ”

He pouted, and lifted a cloth on a shelf, revealing a human head on the shelf.

"Do you know that this is the only person I really killed?"

"The rest of the people only need to intimidate and threaten them with a few words to confess, and I only need to have one of the officials write down their confessions."

"As for the blood all over the ground, it's actually just pig blood that I just asked someone to get from the slaughterhouse."

After speaking, Chen Fugui tacitly mentioned the bucket of pig blood that had not yet been spilled to Yuan Shikun.

"You want to be someone else's leader? Do others recognize you as a leader? Do you still want to make a big career in the future, is there anyone else with you? You've all been served in one pot, and you still expect people to follow you? Confess honestly, cooperate honestly, and I will set you free. ”

Yuan Shikun turned his head to look at the lonely human head, and then looked at the pig's blood on the ground, which had gradually blackened, and in his mind, he recalled the afternoon when he suddenly heard the news that the lord had died at the scene of the assassination of the Qin family's son.

After the initial shock and panic, his heart quickly rose with infinite longing for the future.

The feeling of being freed from the cage, as if the sky above the dark clouds had dispersed, was a feeling of freedom.

It is also an opportunity for his life to take off.

So, he gathered the rest of the party and came to Longshou Prefecture.

tried to stir up the storm like the original lord, stir up waves, and then Xu Tu grew stronger.

The vast seas and boundless world are the places where heroes and heroes like him can show their talents.

But unexpectedly, in just two months, he became a prisoner.

The expected big team, in the end, was only followed by such a fool.

Is the dead eye on that skull lamenting the end of life, or regretting that he shouldn't have followed such an arrogant and ridiculous waste!

How can such an arrogant and ridiculous waste be qualified to sit at the poker table in this troubled world!

He smiled miserably, and was condemned for success, and all thoughts were lost, "I'll tell you everything I know." ”

Xia Jingyun's hand in his sleeve tightened slightly, and his heart breathed a sigh of relief.

——

Three days later, early in the morning, the Cao Gang was at the helm.

It is different from the Cao Gang in Xia Jingyun's cognition, because the canal against the sky is not present now, and the Cao Yun is limited to the transshipment of Shanyang Du to Jianghuai, although the scale is still good, but after all, it does not have the courage to talk about the food and clothing of millions of Cao workers.

Therefore, even with the Cao Gang Helm, it is more than one grade worse than the Caoyun Governor Yamen that Xia Jingyun has seen, and there is only one six-grade Caoyun Governor in charge.

Although it is a little worse, it is a big gang of tens of thousands of people after all, and the amount of money and food transferred every day is also a quantity that ordinary people dare not imagine, so the helm of the Cao Gang also occupies a fairly wide area, and the large square of hundreds of steps from east to west is full of stools at the moment.

The gangsters who participated in the meeting are coming in groups of three or five, one after another.

Especially young people, who love to be lively, can also bear this day, after breakfast, they came to the door of the helmsman to gather and chat.

"Did you hear that? It is said that today's gang will liquidate the five elders and them! ”

"Yes, I've heard that, too. However, what I heard is that the gang leader conspired with Lord Qincha, found a few thieves, forged a confession, and wanted to frame the five elders and them! ”

"Not bad! I've heard that's the case, too! I don't know what benefits the helper promised to Lord Chincha, and Lord Chincha will agree to this! ”

"I think this statement is a bit false, Lord Renqincha is the champion of the prince, and he is so good-looking, and he is still the righteous brother of Concubine De, and he has a good future, how can he do such a thing with the helper! Moreover, the gang leader has always been quite tolerant of his subordinates, and the fourth elder and the fifth elder have been making waves for so many years, and they have not said anything about moving them, so it won't be like this! ”

"What the hell are you?! Is there anything good in this world? Which good official have you ever met? The helper didn't move before, but he couldn't move! Can you say he doesn't want to move? ”

"Isn't it! I've never slept with that top-brand blue-faced girl in Baihualou, is that why I don't want to? I can't! ”

"You can't say that, there's still the eldest lady here, if the helper really does these things, won't the eldest lady care?"

"Miss? It's okay for the eldest lady to fight and kill, she's just a woman, do you expect this kind of gang to be a big deal, and the gang leader will listen to her? ”

"You guys."

"The Fifth Elder is here!"

I don't know who shouted, everyone looked over, and saw the five elders dressed in strong suits, with a team of followers, riding horses.

Many people immediately greeted enthusiastically, and some even took the initiative to shout, "Fifth Elder! Rest assured, we will support you! ”

This sentence caused many other people to shout, "Yes! Five Elders! Rest assured, we've got your back! ”

The fifth elder immediately hugged his fist towards everyone, "There is justice in the world, thank you very much!" ”

After speaking, he simply dismounted and walked into the arena with his head held high.

"The Fifth Elder is so courageous!"

"This is a real hero! The thought that the hero is going to be killed by a traitor today makes me feel uncomfortable! ”

"Yes! I will never say yes! ”

Putting the discussion behind him into his ears, the corners of the five elders' mouths quietly showed a hint of a smile.

Just in the middle of the general rudder, when there were many discussions, in a carriage that set off from the county government at this moment, Xia Jingyun and Ye Wenhe sat opposite each other, Ye Wenhe couldn't help frowning slightly: "My lord, I know your plan, but you don't let me send someone to refute their rumors, but let them spread, what is the reason?" What if something really happens at that time? ”

Xia Jingyun shook his head lightly, "If this kind of people's hearts want to be completely overturned, they must first be disseminated, and even promote these voices to the dust, suppressing those voices that want to refute, among these people, there are indeed people who will change their positions because of rumors, these wall grasses don't care, but there will also be a large number of people who have no choice but to silence." The more unscrupulous those who think they have the upper hand are, the greater the fire and grievances in the hearts of the silent people, and the greater the force of the counterattack that bursts out when they find an excuse to support them in resisting. ”

He looked at Ye Wenhe with a smile, "We're going to use this power." ”

Ye Wenhe was dumbfounded when he heard this, this kind of thinking and thinking completely broke through his cognition.

So you can still play like this?

He couldn't help but think of what his father had said to him before he passed away: Don't play tricks with those officials, those people's hearts are dirtier than the other.

And Xia Jingyun turned his head to look outside the carriage, thinking to himself, today's matter, that Xiao Zhou Mu, will there be any action?

Under the personal escort of Ye Hongluan and Chen Fugui, the carriage arrived at the Cao Gang Helm.

And before that, the rest of the elders and the head of Cao Yun had already arrived.

At this moment, they were all standing at the door, greeting Lord Chincha.

Xia Jingyun got out of the carriage, greeted everyone for a while, and then entered together.

This gesture fell in the eyes of the gang, and it was naturally another statement.

"Look, you're right, right? This Lord Chin Cha came directly with the gang leader! It's clear that you want to stand on the side of the helper! ”

"The helper is determined to kill the five elders! It's a pity that people like the Fifth Elder who are really willing to do things for the Cao Gang will eventually die under power and infighting. ”

"What you said, nothing has happened yet, how did you understand it."

"It's not clear? It's not obvious yet? Wouldn't there be someone talking to this dog officer and the gang leader now? ”

In the middle of the square was a platform facing north and south, on which were placed eight chairs, two of which were reserved for the head of the Qin Cha and Cao Yun, and the remaining six for the helper and the five elders.

The director of Caoyun is a candidate of the Xungui faction, and he is not close to Xia Jingyun, nor can he be close, but he showed up to meet him on the first day after Xia Jingyun's appearance, and he was honest in the rest of the day, not close but not troublesome, Xia Jingyun felt very good, and when he saw him at the moment, he didn't make it difficult, and he sat down on their respective chairs with a smile.

Ye Wenhe and the five elders also sat down separately.

A deacon struck a gong and shouted, "Silence! ”

The whole square gradually quieted down, and the sound of cicadas became more and more audible.

Ye Wenhe stood up and said aloud to everyone: "Everyone, help the brothers!" As we all know, a few days ago, something happened to our Cao Gang, some brothers were lost, and some court officials were killed, and the transfer of money and grain was also greatly affected. Therefore, the imperial court sent a messenger to investigate the matter. Recently, fortunately, Lord Lai Qincha was wise in the town, and the soldiers under his command were brave and fearless, and finally captured a group of thieves, and also confessed to the situation behind this. I will invite you to come today, let's hold this conference together, which is to make the truth behind this public to the world! ”

Immediately, a young hall master below spoke: "Helper, how can we believe that these thieves are real thieves, and their confessions are true confessions?" ”

Immediately afterwards, someone chimed in, "Yes, the thief has been captured, and he can say whatever he wants, how can we ensure that what he said is true?" ”

After all, in front of the Qin Cha, who has the power of life and death, these young Zhuang factions still dare not be too presumptuous, and their words are a lot more tactful.

But this shout didn't matter, because the news had already fermented, and many people who supported the five elders also shouted, and the scene became a little chaotic for a while, and there were signs of uncontrollability at the beginning.

Fortunately, although Ye Wenhe has a soft temperament, he is not a pure incompetent, and when he saw this, he shouted directly: "Quiet! ”

He looked at the people below majestically, and said in a deep voice: "There is justice in the merits, if you question it, your eyes will widen, your ears will be sharpened, and you will see and listen well!" If you feel that the prisoner's confession is wrong or wrong, point it out! Let's make the truth clear, this is the meaning of this all-gang conference! It's just the beginning of the fuss here, what do you want! What is the law of the gang? Are you trying to disgrace the Cao Gang's face? ”

Everyone was stunned by the scolding, and they didn't dare to say anything, and watched silently.

Ye Wenhe snorted coldly, "Take someone to commit a crime!" ”
