Chapter 228: Interrogation
In the early hours of the morning, the heavy snow finally stopped. The people in front of the gate of Mao's house were a little stiff because of the cold, and they were hot because of the four words of the Brahmin king. The heat rises from the soles of the feet to the chest, and the heartbeat accelerates.
"Wang ...... King...... Oh my God!" the mother of the baby before was stupid," Zhu Xingluo ...... Zhu Xingluo...... My son's name is also Zhu Xingluo...... King...... King...... A name?"
The Lord of the Western Regions personally bestows the name, what a glorious thing.
Yao Fang entered Mao's house. After listening to the introduction of the old guard. Then he ordered someone to move tables and chairs, and raised the hall in the Mao family's compound to ask about the case.
"Lord Yao!"
"The minister is here!"
"Two. One, no soul searching. Second, it is forbidden to extort confessions by torture. ”
"Commandment. ”
Shi Rou lost her soul, most likely because she was used by someone to use a very vicious soul-searching technique. The king of Brahmins did not want to see this again. Now everyone is in town, there is no cultivation, and she doesn't want to hurt good people.
Yao Fang thought that this was a consideration for him, and was even more excited.
A stunned shot: "Someone." Take the bride's father to church. ”
"My lord, the bride's father is missing!" replied one of the guards.
"Send someone to look for it quickly, and see people alive and corpses when dead. ”
"Order!"
Yao Fang is now the chief judge of the Brahmin king's personal order, and the guards should do their best to help him find out the whole story.
"The head of the Mao family. ”
A little old man was carried in by the soldiers. The lord of the Western Regions came to his own house, and the little old man's feet were weak.
"Your son died twenty years ago?"
“...... Be...... Yes!"
"How to die, tell me in detail! If there is half a lie, the whole house will be beheaded. ”
The little old man bounced his spirits and told the story of twenty years ago.
The groom's official name was Mao Erdan, who was young at that time and had not yet given a serious name. The people of the Western Regions will not have their own name until they are eighteen years old.
Eleven is exactly half a child. The Mao family has many children, and the parents have to earn food, so where can they care. Mao Erdan is the third in the family, when he was eleven years old, the eldest brother followed his parents to farm, and the second brother took care of him and his two younger sisters at home. The second brother is only fourteen years old, so he can take care of it.
Mao Erdan played alone in this situation. One day, he met a friend who was three or four years older than him. The two are often together. The second brother and his family didn't have time to care about him, so he let him play with that friend.
One day three months later, Mao Erdan died suddenly. Died while hanging out with that friend. There were no injuries on his body, but it is unknown why he died. The friend has since disappeared.
The Mao family was a civilian, and after being sad, he was hastily buried and then lived his own life. Not even a newspaper officer.
After Yao Fang listened, he then asked, "What's the matter with the secret marriage?" ”
The little old man was about to speak. The door to the wedding room opens. The Brahmin King and Xiang Xing walked out.
"See Your Majesty'......"
Everyone fell to their knees.
"See Your Majesty'......"
The whole town fell to their knees with shouts.
"Get up. Master Yao, you continue. ”
"Honorable ......"
The guards brought in two chairs. King Brahmin and Xiang Xing sat aside.
said that half a year ago, Mao Erdan's friend suddenly came back. The Mao family naturally wanted to find him desperately, but he was already a rich and noble person. Fight but can't.
The friend said that when he went out to play with Mao Erdan. The second brother suddenly fell to the ground and died. He was also so frightened that he ran away without paying attention. He has always felt ashamed of his younger brother and the Mao family in this matter. This return brought a lot of gold and silver. Besides, if you let Erdan's younger brother hold a secret marriage and marry a girl from a certain village, she will be married. No matter who makes her pregnant with a child, Mao Erdan can be reincarnated.
The Mao family was skeptical, but the friend was very wealthy, and the money was also paid by him, so the Mao family agreed. That's where we are today.
"What does that friend look like, name, address, where is he now?"
The little old man said: "I only know his nickname." It's called Tooth. Handsome, 1.9 meters tall...... By the way, his eyes ......"
Yao Fang asked, "How is the eye?"
"No eyeballs. It's pitch black inside the eyes, and smoke is coming out. ”
Xiang Xing stood up suddenly. Strode up to the little old man: "Really?"
"Uncle, the little old man doesn't dare to deceive, it's true. He was so frightened that he sat down on the snow and ice.
The king of brahmins wondered, "Why is King Xiang like this?"
"Your Majesty, please send someone to arrest the man. ”
"It's nature. Someone's coming......"
"Wait......" Xiang Xing said, "Can you ask Allou Luo to come out in person and bring more good hands." That person's cultivation should not be weak. ”
The Brahmin king summoned Arula and told him to deal with the matter. Alouluo was ordered to take thirty guards and with the help of the defenders of his town and the army brought by Yao Fang, and began to search for his friend.
Yao Fang then asked, "How could your father-in-law not see you?"
"Little Lao'er doesn't know. After the bride came to the house, her father-in-law disappeared. The little old man thought that he was going home to accompany his mother, but because the wedding was busy, he ignored it. ”
"Do you know what the bride looks like?"
"Yes. Xiao Lao'er thinks that it is a secret marriage anyway, and it doesn't matter what it looks like, as long as I let my second egg come back. ”
Now, the most important thing is Shirou's parents and that friend. Yao Fang calculated the time and distance, the bride's mother should have arrived early. But there was no one to be seen.
"Your Majesty, please send someone to the bride's house again, the minister estimates that there was an accident over there!"
"Let your men go!" The Brahmin king's personal guard was not very numerous, and there were few people left.
"Yes......"
Yao Fang ordered 500 light cavalry and ordered the general to lead it.
Next, while waiting for the news of the search on the street, he interrogated the rest of the Mao family to see if what the little old man said was right or not. Then interrogate the guests about the daily situation of the Mao family. It can be said that Yao Fang asked very carefully, and he couldn't dig out the eighteen generations of the ancestors of the Mao family.
During the interrogation, other city guards and officials came one after another. After meeting the Brahmin queen, they also joined the interrogation. There were hundreds of guests attending the Mao family banquet, hundreds of large and small officials came, and each guest was interrogated by at least two officials. There is also a clerk on the side who collates the confession and records it in an orderly and clear manner.
The Brahmin King and Xiang Xing, who were sitting on the side, watched them busily with expressionless eyes. The Brahmin King asked Xiang Xing, "Do you know that friend of Mao Erdan?"
Xiang Xing said: "I don't know." But I've seen that kind of ...... That kind of creature. ”
"What's going on? Can you elaborate on that?"
Xiang Xing looked left and right, there were many people in the courtyard, and he was afraid that he would be in the ears of other people, so he leaned into the ears of the Brahmin king and talked about some of the situation of the Ya tribe.
The intimate behavior of the two of them was in the eyes of the people in the courtyard. Although he didn't dare to say anything, he inevitably wondered in his heart: Who is this person? Why is he so close to His Majesty? According to the laws of the ancestors, the Brahmin king will marry and have children after he ascends the throne. His Majesty has been on the throne for two years, which is already later than the kings of the Western Regions in previous generations. Don't...... Well...... There should be a good possibility, and that man is it......
And the daughter-in-law of the Mao family, how could she alarm Your Majesty? Coincidence or ...... It seems that the water in it is very deep......
After listening to Xiang Xing's introduction, the Brahmin King widened his eyes and said in disbelief: "You mean, their target is me?"
Xiang Xing said: "There is a great possibility. Otherwise, why would the Ya clan go to such great lengths to harm a woman who has not cultivated? It's not an exaggeration that Shi Rou is your best friend, right?"
The Brahmin King nodded: "Sister Shirou is my only friend. She knew everything I had before I came to the throne. If they really hold up all my previous things, then ......"
Xiang Xing continued: "It will be much easier to deal with the Western Regions. Alas...... It's not easy to do. I've met the Ya people a few times before. Even the guests of Taixumen and Yuhuazong are all Ya clans. ”
The Brahmin King said, "Can you be sure of their ultimate goal?"
Xiang Xing said: "I can be 100% sure." But I don't have any proof, but I just have a voice or a thought in my heart that keeps telling me that. You...... Can you trust me?"
"Letter. Actually......"
Xiang Xing grabbed her hand and said, "Thank you, thank you." The stakes are so high that I can't talk nonsense with others, and it's hard for others to believe what they do. Thank you ......."
Regarding the matter of the Ya clan, it was difficult for Xiang Xing to be clear, because there was no evidence to prove his opinion. Even Fu Qingyun, who didn't get rid of the poison of the fire in his heart, didn't take it seriously. The trust of the Brahmin king is more of an affirmation of him. Let him no longer have doubts about himself.
The brahmin king smiled and tried to withdraw his little hand but couldn't exert half of his strength. For no reason, she remembered the night when Xiang Xing hid under the bed. His face was even redder, and his head was about to sink into his chest.
Xiang Xing didn't know that he had lost his manners, and said, "So what." Our cooperation must begin as soon as possible. With the friendly assistance of the Western Regions, Middle Earth, and Northland, it will be difficult for the Ya people to start. We'll have plenty of time to catch them all. ”
The more he spoke, the more excited he became: "That's right, that's right. When I have the opportunity, I will go to Nanyi and Donghai. If all goes well, all the races in Shenzhou will be in the same breath, and at that time...... Hey...... The better days are coming......"
The brahmin king did not hear these words. She only felt that Xiang Xing's hand was big, warm, and powerful, as if it could wrap her whole body into it.
"Your ......Majesty, the bride's mother brings it!"
