Chapter 33: The Tip of the Iceberg

In the gloomy No. 1 cell, He Guiren, who was half-kneeling with his arms locked, saw Xiao Qingtan and Xuewu who walked in, and also shook off his unkempt hair. "Lord Xiao, what's in it for you to trap me here?" He Guiren also replied with his head tilted up.

"I didn't plan to keep you all the time, find a suitable opportunity, and I will kill you. Xiao Qingtan glanced at him, pulled a bench and sat down with Xuewu.

"How dare you kill me?" He Guiren laughed presumptuously.

"Have you forgotten how you got caught here?" Xiao Qingtan poked his head and looked at He Guiren with interest, "I have never taken your relationship seriously. ”

"No, you don't dare!" He Guiren shouted with round eyes, "You won't, the anger of the Water Moon Pavilion is not something you can imagine. Then He Guiren calmed down again and said slowly to Xiao Qingtan.

"But Shuiyue Pavilion doesn't care much about you, otherwise it would have allowed me to take you away so easily?Besides, even if they value you, will they turn against me at this time?" Xiao Qingtan's smile seemed to He Guiren to be the summons of the devil.

"You're lying to me, yes, you must be lying to me. He Guiren muttered to himself unconvinced.

"You can think about it, but if you ask for something next door, you're not worth it. Xiao Qingtan got up and walked out of the cell as he spoke, and Xuewu was also busy following him.

"Isn't it going to give him a breather? Blood didn't ask.

"Do you think his state will be repeated?" Xiao Qingtan didn't answer and asked, "Hang him for a while, I think he will be much more honest." ”

And No. 3 in the Dizi cell was holding the three people who were arrested in the back, and Li Feng was in charge of their trial.

"How's it going?" Xiao Qingtan asked Li Feng after he walked in.

"It's difficult, the mouth is very strict, in order to prevent the last incident, I removed all their teeth, but the two officials also said that they would sue me, and they were in good spirits. Li Feng shook his head helplessly.

Xiao Qingtan snorted: "Didn't you tell you that you don't have to worry about anything, just ask the answer we want?"

"It's the incompetence of subordinates. Li Feng was also busy half-kneeling.

"Alright, get up. Xiao Qingtan glanced at Li Feng and asked him to get up first, "What kind of means do you say you want to deal with these people?"

Saying that, Xiao Qingtan walked towards the two officials with steps.

"You, what do you want to do! I want to appeal! You are torture to extract confessions!" the two officials said in a bloody mouth.

"Don't worry, you're not worth my hands yet. Xiao Qingtan didn't even look at them, his hands stretched out and tore at their two faces, and two completely different faces appeared in front of everyone.

"This, they are also replaced?" Li Feng said in surprise.

"You said that they also had a big change, and I asked you to arrest them too, didn't you have any associations?" Xiao Qingtan reprimanded Li Feng coldly.

"Yes. Li Feng also listened respectfully to Xiao Qingtan's words.

Xiao Qingtan was about to speak, when a catcher ran in and said, "My lord, Lord Fang Xiaofang is here." You see?"

"Let him in, I want him to get used to it right away, anyway. Xiao Qingtan nodded and motioned for him to go out.

Turning his head, he continued to speak to Li Feng: "Do you think that if you don't find the body, you can give up on them?" ”

"It's the subordinates who understand. Li Feng just finished answering. Fang Xiao stepped into this cell, "I belong to Xia Xiao, I have seen two adults. Fang Xiao also saluted first.

"You guy, you said it was good before, called brother, why have you changed your words now. Xiao Qingtan didn't say anything before he could speak.

"It's okay, let's settle the matter here first. Xiao Qingtan also spoke.

Seeing Xiao Qingtan say this, Blood Wuhe and Fang Xiao naturally didn't say anything more, so they walked behind Xiao Qingtan and watched him continue to interrogate.

"Now the three of us can have a good talk. Xiao Qingtan half-bowed and asked the three of them.

"Lord Xiao, everyone is not stupid, we didn't think about getting out alive after we did this. The three of them glanced at each other, and finally the tall and thin man in the middle answered everyone's questions, "Besides, you can't count on us, and we're the ones on the tail, don't you say?" ”

"Good, a bit of a dead man. Xiao Qingtan also applauded and said, "But I'm quite interested in why the Water Moon Pavilion wants you to play these people?"

Looking at Xiao Qingtan's expression that seemed to be hesitating, the three of them also laughed. "Is it to secretly control Hangzhou's economy?" said Xue Wuye.

"Don't laugh, I said it was a question. Xiao Qingtan also raised the corners of his mouth and said, "It's up to you to solve your doubts." ”

"Lord Xiao, are you so smart that you still need us?" the thin and tall man only thought that Xiao Qingtan was pretending to be a gesture and shot back with a smile.

"Okay, then let's make a reasonable guess. Xiao Qingtan also said with a smile, "First of all, I have considered it, but now it seems that only six people are not enough to affect the direction of Hangzhou, as for the secret control, it is even more of a dream, no matter how powerful I am at the businessman, he is only a businessman, so as long as there is no problem at the top of Hangzhou, I will never worry about this problem." ”

"Naturally, then this one will be pinched first. If Fang Xiao were you, what would you do next?" Xiao Qingtan also smiled and threw the topic to Fang Xiao.

Fang Xiao was also thinking about it before, and when she saw Xiao Qingtan asking, she also said: "If I do it, I will first look at the common points of the six victims, and then sort out my thoughts." ”

"There are businessmen and officials. "It seems that they don't seem to have anything in common except that they are all rich and powerful." ”

"No, Fang Xiao is right, and I did the same. Xiao Qingtan's smile resurfaced, "What these six people have in common is grain and winter furs. ”

"Grain and furs. What kind of connection is this? Blood said in confusion, but he didn't see the surprise on the faces of the three men.

Xiao Qingtan turned his head to look at Fang Xiao and said, "Fang Xiao, have you thought of it?"

"I think I probably touched it, but the idea was amazing. Fang Xiao put down the hand touching his chin and continued, "I can only think of two when I can use a lot of food and fur, one is for disaster relief and the other is for recruitment. But they would never have spent such energy to help the imperial court with disaster relief, so that means that they worked hard to get a lot of grain and furs here to feed an army!"

"That's right, so what I'm concerned about now is, who are you Shuiyue Pavilion raising troops for, or who is your behind-the-scenes boss?" Xiao Qingtan asked.
