0445 Hostage-taking
The craftsman was the last to be asked, and his mood had calmed down a lot, and he immediately kowtowed honestly and said, "Yes, the ancestors of the villain were all carved jade. The villain's surname is Zhao, and his name is Zhao Youliang!"
Liu Haojia said, "Zhao Youliang, then look at the jade pendant in your hand, is it the piece that asked you to polish your name back then?"
The jade pendant Zhao Youliang had already seen the scar clearly, and immediately said loudly, "Lord Hui, it's the one back then!" At that time, the villain thought that he had accidentally thrown it somewhere, and he had lost the pawnshop money!"
The shopkeeper chimed in and said, "Yes, yes, we all thought he had lost it by accident, so we asked him to make amends! But my lord, then again, the villain doesn't know that this is a thief!"
When Zhao Youliang heard this, he said even louder: "My lord, the villain is a craftsman! I only know how to work and get money, but I don't know anything else!"
Liu Haojia raised his hand to signal them to be quiet, and then said to Bai Liqun, "Things have come to this point, aren't you going to say something?"
But Bai Liqun knew that he would never be able to explain at this time, and once he confessed, he would definitely be doomed to collude with pirates and plunder ships! So he said very simply: "Dashuai, the lower official doesn't know what to say, the lower official has been wronged!"
Liu Haojia sneered, sat up straight and said loudly, "Zhang Li!"
Zhang Li, who was sitting in the corner, immediately stepped forward and said, "Dashuai, let's go there again!"
Liu Haojia raised his hand and circled everyone again, and then said, "Zhang Li, this official doesn't know if what each of them said is true or false, so I ask you to try them one by one!" No matter how you judge the judge, the judge will demand a true confession for each of you!"
Seeing Liu Haojia including himself, Zhao Youliang and the shopkeeper, the three of them immediately shouted that they were wronged, but they couldn't tell clearly, they just kept saying that they were wronged! But because they knelt on the side, they were dragged down by the soldiers first. Look at the book
And Zhang Baishui and Zhang He only thought about revenge, but instead pulled up two small ones and took the initiative to lean towards the soldiers. The soldiers knew that they were sufferers, and they did not feel sorry for them, but put their hands on their arms, even if they were holding them up.
But Bai Liqun's face changed, kneeling in the middle! Although he is not qualified to enter the council hall for a meeting, he knows all the news that comes out of it! Especially when he knew that the "Mrs. Zhang Li" he had laughed at was actually from Dongchang, he was even more surprised!
As a result, just as he was wondering whether to come to the door to deliver some gifts, a group of soldiers suddenly arrived and asked him to rush to the council chamber immediately. At this time, Zhang Baishui's matter had not yet been reported, so although he was apprehensive in his heart, he was quite calm, quickly sorted out his clothes and armor, and followed the soldiers to the council hall.
It wasn't until he entered the door that he found out what had happened! Especially when the evidence Zhang Baishui took out directly pointed to his own soldiers, he knew that he might not be able to escape! Just when he was still thinking about how to get rid of the crime, he heard that Liu Haojia actually handed over their group of people to Zhang Li, which made him frightened!
If he is handed over to the military judge, he may still have a chance. After all, within the navy, everyone has friendships, or they can always fool the past if they think of another way! But if a person is handed over to Dongchang, even a person who is beaten with iron must be asked the truth! Not to mention anything else, the pro-soldiers around him will definitely not be able to survive the punishment of Dongchang!
Thinking of this, Bai Liqun turned his heart sideways, jumped up and pulled out his waist knife and rushed out! His movements were so fast that everyone present was startled, and he didn't react for a while! But the other soldiers were escorting Zhang Baishui and them away on both sides, and before they got close to him, they actually let him jump like this!
Bai Liqun got up and wanted to run, but when he saw the eight soldiers of the Wu'an Army on both sides of the gate more than a dozen steps away, he knew that he couldn't rush out for a while! With a distance of more than ten steps, even the stupidest person will react when he runs to the door, and there is plenty of time to stop him!
Especially when he saw that the soldiers were turning their surprised gazes to him, Bai Liqun really knew that he couldn't escape! In despair, he was maliciously born, and he wanted to kill Zhang Baishui, the culprit in his eyes! So he turned around and walked sideways, and slashed directly at Zhang Baishui with his knife!
Zhang Baishui was hugging his cousin and saying something at this time, when he heard movement behind him and looked back, he saw a waist knife slashing over like a martial arts! He instinctively pushed his cousin away, and then quickly retreated! But after all, he was a step slower, and was slashed on the right chest by Bai Liqun, making a cut more than half a foot long, and planting it on the ground!
The soldiers next to him had never encountered this situation, and for a while they only thought about stepping back and drawing their swords, but they exposed Zhang He's mother and daughter! Bai Liqun was overjoyed when he saw it, so he directly grabbed Zhang Baishui's cousin and pushed it to his own soldiers, then grabbed Zhang He's family, put the knife on her neck, and shouted: "Don't come here!" I'll kill her if I come back again! 「
Two of the six recruits, who seemed to be die-hards, were the first to draw their swords, one of them standing briskly beside Bai Liqun to protect him, and the other holding the knife to the little girl's neck. Then the three of them leaned together.
Two of the other four pro-soldiers hesitated, but pulled out their knives and approached Bai Liqun. The other two were much more timid, and they ran to the side with a roll, and were directly controlled by the other soldiers! Zhang Baishui was also dragged aside to be bandaged, and his cousin was held in place by two soldiers.
When Bai Liqun was taking people as hostages, the soldiers were not idle! In particular, the soldiers of the Wu'an Army had already received orders to guard against any situation that might arise, so they were the first to react! But since they stood on either side of the chamber, they were the farthest away, and they were the last to arrive.
The current situation was that Bai Liqun and one of his own soldiers each took a hostage and stood in the center of the council chamber, and the two of them were surrounded by three soldiers who were back-to-back to protect them. On their periphery were the soldiers of the navy and the men of the Wu'an Army, who surrounded them!
At this time, Liu Haojia, who was sitting behind the handsome case, was also churning in his heart! He really didn't expect this situation beforehand! Although he explained to the soldiers that he could suppress any possible situation, the matter of openly drawing a knife and taking hostages in the council hall was completely unplanned!
He thought that at most a few officers would roar into the court, and then let the soldiers rush in, and the master would be enough! As a result, this unexpected situation caused chaos in the entire council chamber! If the matter gets out, I don't know how much face it will lose!
