The next day, Wu Jingguo interrogated Liang Xie for the second time, in addition to the impermanence in the hall, all the people who participated yesterday had arrived, but the first seat in the right row was also replaced by Zheng Qianhu and another man in brocade clothes embroidered with a 'white rhino' pattern, and there was one more person in the last seat - Yu Qibai!

Wu Jingguo drank tea slowly, his expression was indifferent, as if he didn't care about the interrogation at all.

"Lord Xu, you are an expert in interrogating prisoners, so let you ask. Master Li said.

The brocade-clothed man sitting at the top of the right row said, "Master Li said that he was laughing, how dare the lower officials take the lead?"

Master Li smiled and said: "In this way, I will interrogate for the governor first, if there is anything that is not in place, please ask Lord Xu to mention something." ”

Lord Xu said: "Where, where." ”

Master Li coughed dryly, cleared his throat, and asked, "What is your name?"

"My name is Liang Xie, and all my actions are all instructed by Zheng Qianhu......" Liang Xie was tied up for nearly two days, his arm was dislocated for two days, he was hungry for two days, thirsty for two days, and there was not much energy left.

Zheng Qianhu was furious, Huo Ran got up, and was about to speak, when he suddenly saw Master Li glaring at him, he held back his anger at the moment, and sat down again.

Master Li said: "Oh, since it was Zheng Qianhu who instructed you, what is Zheng Qianhu's full name?"

Liang Xie said: "I am a killer who collects money to buy my life, and I never ask the name of the customer, let alone ...... I don't even ask why. The sun hit Liang Xie's body, and it was extremely hot, which made him sweat on his body, and the sweat mixed with the oil on his face and forehead in the past two days, and flowed into his eyes......

Master Li said: "Then when and where did Zheng Qianhu instruct you?"

Liang Xie closed his eyes tightly and squeezed out the sweat, and reluctantly opened his eyes and said: "I can't remember the specific time, about half a month ago, the middleman made an appointment with us...... Meet at the ruined temple in the west of the city, at that time....... He was masked, but the topaz ring on his finger was exactly the same as the one he had yesterday, and I didn't know until yesterday....... Know it's him. He doesn't know when Zheng Qianhu is with these people, and he doesn't know where he has been recently, so the longer the time is delayed, the better, and it won't be that these people get together every day.

Master Li smiled and said, "Zheng Qianhu, what do you say?"

Zheng Qianhu said angrily: "This Diao people are annoyed that I beat him yesterday, and he is resentful, and he clearly framed me. Please ask the governor and the master to discern it. ”

Master Li 'um', lowered his body and asked Wu Jingguo, "Governor, what do you see?"

Wu Jingguo said lightly: "Zheng Qianhu has been with the governor for many years, he will always know if the people in the sedan chair are me, and he also knows what the strength of my two guards is." ”

Zheng Qianhu was very frightened, hurriedly left his seat and knelt down to kowtow, and said: "The governor treats me like a mountain, and his subordinates will never dare to have different intentions. ”

Wu Jingguo said: "Get up, I know that you didn't do it." ”

Zheng Qianhu sat back in the chair, in the final analysis, Wu Jingguo didn't say that he wouldn't assassinate, just that this assassination was not assigned by him, how could he not panic?

Master Li straightened up and said, "Liang Xie, this master asks you patiently, you answer well, as long as you say the mastermind behind it, the governor will not embarrass you......" He smiled, glanced at Sun Ming, the patriarch understood, and continued: "'Heaven and earth are the king's teacher, the master and apprentice are like father and son', child, don't make it difficult for your master." ”

Liang Xie said: "I'm telling the truth, you can't help it if you don't believe me." ”

Sun Ming said: "Go back to Master Li's words and strive to redeem the merits." ”

Liang Xie sneered and said, "I'm telling the truth, you can't even see your own people clearly, what's the use of asking more?"

Master Li said: "Old Sun, I'm sorry, your apprentice is very angry, I can't judge anything, so I have to let Master Xu take it back and slowly interrogate it in the prison." ”

Sun Ming got up and clasped his fists and said: "The governor and Master Li are benevolent and righteous, but he is self-defeating, and it is no wonder that others are at his fault." ”

Master Li nodded, and asked Wu Jingguo for instructions: "Governor, do you want Lord Xu to take it back and interrogate it slowly or ......?"

Wu Jingguo said: "Well, let's do it!"

Lord Xu stood up and bowed down and said, "Please rest assured, the child will judge the mastermind behind it for the father!"

"Hmm. Wu Jingguo responded.

A strange smile flashed on Lord Xu's face, and with a gesture, two guards had already stepped forward to drag Liang Xie out of the hall, and Lord Xu said goodbye to Wu Jingguo, and then followed out.

Liang Xie's scalp is numb, this Lord Xu looks at the dress style and the name of Wu Jingguo is eighty percent of the Xu Chunzhi of the 'Golden Guard', it is rumored that the government and the opposition have always been known for their ruthlessness, and Xu Chunzhi is the most perverted among the 'Mansion Guards', I heard that anyone who falls into his hands, let alone survive, is just a luxury to want to die, Rao is Liang Xie has been used to life and death for a long time, and he was also scared.

Wu Jingguo saw Xu Chunzhi leading people to escort Liang Xie out of the distance, with a casual smile on his face, picked up the teapot, took a sip of tea, and said slowly: "Everyone disperse, this matter will be handled by Lord Xu of the 'Golden Guard'." He slowly stood up.

"Governor ......" Yu Qibai, who had been sitting at the end of the right row and had not spoken, suddenly left his seat and knelt down and kowtowed to the ground.

"What's the matter?"

Yu Qibai kowtowed and said: "There is a layer of concern about the humble position, and I dare not say it." ”

"Speak!"

Yu Qibai said: "The governor of the palace, on the rivers and lakes, it seems that such outlaws who collect money to buy their lives are tight-mouthed, and they will never betray their patrons easily, and they are afraid that if he is punished, he will commit suicide in prison, his death is small, but the people behind him have been saved for the time being, although the governor is not afraid, it is a troublesome thing after all." ”

"Suicide?" Wu Jingguo frowned and sat down slowly. "What do you say?"

Master Liu, who had not spoken, leaned forward and said, "It stands to reason that Lord Xu's methods will not give the assassin a chance to commit suicide, but ......"

"But what?"

"But there is no harm in being cautious, and if Yu Zhukuai can have other methods, he might as well listen to what he has to say first. Master Liu said.

Wu Jingguo nodded and said, "Yu Zhukuai, how should this matter be handled in your opinion?"

Yu Qibai said: "Persuade the assassin to turn against him." ”

Wu Jingguo said: "Can you persuade you to surrender?"

Yu Qibai said: "There are three reasons, he has to surrender." ”

"Oh?" Wu Jingguo smiled slightly and said, "Let's hear it." ”

Yu Qibai said: "If you surrender, you will die, he is just not afraid of death, and he is not willing to die, this is one of his ......"

Wu Jingguo nodded, Liang Xie was afraid of whether he would die or not, he didn't know, anyway, he didn't want to die.

Yu Qibai paused slightly, and said: "He is Sun Lao's apprentice, and the master has an order that the disciple should obey, this is the second;"

"Go on. ”

"Yes!" Yu Qibai kowtowed again and said: "His wife is stubbornly ill, and there is no shortage of famous doctors in the hands of the governor, if he surrenders, his wife's stubborn illness can be cured, and on the contrary, it is not only him who dies." According to the lowly speculation, the reason why he became a killer was probably to cure his wife's illness with money. ”

"Good. Wu Jingguo got up and left his seat and said, "What reward do you want when the thing is done?"

Yu Qibai said: "The governor's generous gift is better than what the lowly job asks for ten times, and the lowly position is short-sighted and does not dare to invite the governor to laugh." ”

Wu Jingguo said: "Give you three days, and after the matter is completed, you will be promoted to be the 100 households of the 12 arresting divisions of the 'Internal Governor's Mansion', Shen Nanwu ......"

Shen Nanwu hurriedly left his seat and knelt down: "The subordinates are here." ”

Wu Jingguo said: "The person is captured by the two of you, you are responsible for this matter together, and after the matter is completed, you will also be sealed a hundred households, if something goes wrong, you know what to do......"

Shen Nanwu kowtowed and said, "Thank you for the promotion." As he spoke, Wu Jingguo had already left his seat and left the hall, and the two masters and guards followed closely......

Out of the hall, Wu Jingguo's expression froze, and he said without looking back: "Check what the catch of this surnamed Yu is coming from." ”

Master Li said: "Back to the governor, I have already checked,"

"Oh?" Wu Jingguo smiled, his steps slowing slightly.

Master Li said: "Yu Qibai was originally a person from 'Weizhou Fengfangkou', he learned martial arts since he was a child, and at the age of 20, he served as the 'Fengfangkou' Yamen to catch fast, and solved 54 cases within three years, and then transferred to 'Yongxing City' to be promoted to the head of the catcher, and in less than two years after his promotion, he arrested 117 thieves, known as 'Xia Hunt'. Three years ago, Jiang Yuanling, the prefect of 'Yongxing City', gave him his daughter, and Yu Qibai's fame was also unique in the fast-catching circle in the thirteen cities of 'Weizhou'......"

"Hmm. Wu Jingguo nodded, and then asked, "What is this person's martial arts strategy?

Master Li said: "Yu Qibai once worshipped Hyde of 'Zhongzhou Zen Buddhism' as his teacher and learned the Monkey King...... What ......"

"It's the 'Monkey King's Monkey Stick', the flag is big enough, and the martial arts are nothing remarkable. "The guard on Wu Jingguo's side.

Master Li said: "Yes, this is the stick method." In the third year of Yong'an, Yu Qibai entered the 'Suishan Mountain' alone to capture the Batong thief Xu Shufeng in the middle of the ambush, and once fought out of the encirclement with the strength of one person, and retreated, I asked Lord Xiang, and Lord Xiang said that most of Yu Qibai's martial arts have been blue, surpassing Master Haide. ”

Wu Jingguo smiled and asked the guards beside him, "How does Master Haide's martial arts compare to Master Xiang?"

The guard said: "Back to the Governor, Lord Xiang is the descendant disciple of the former No. 1 master of the Great Interior, the only descendant of the top ten famous blades 'East Prison Spear', ordinary masters can't even take one move, and Haide's level can catch the next move at most." ”

Wu Jingguo nodded and said: "In this way, Yu Qibai is already stronger than ordinary masters, how can such a talent be willing to do a small catch in the Yamen of the auxiliary city?"

Master Li said: "What the governor said is that Jiang Yuanling has been teaching Yu Qibai the art of war in the past two years......"

Wu Jingguo said: "He himself is a civil official, but he taught others the art of war, this is to borrow his uncle's hand to get over the addiction of being a general, so Jiang Yuanling transferred Yu Qibai to the capital as a catcher, is it true that he is looking for an opportunity to get close to the 'military department' and become a general?"

Master Li said: "It seems to be so, but the student thinks that it is better for the governor to be cautious, and Jiang Yuanling is probably not simple." ”

"What do you say?" Wu Jingguo asked.

Master Li said: "It is said that there doesn't seem to be much conflict between all the martial arts gangs under his rule, although the students don't know what method he used, but the gangs in the rivers and lakes

It's not easy to restrict, and it's even more difficult for a bare-pole prefect to have that ability. ”

Wu Jingguo nodded, stepped over the moon cave door in front of him, entered the main courtyard, and stepped into the hall, there were already servants who stepped forward to serve and change clothes, serving tea and water, Wu Jingguo took off his robe, changed into light clothes, and lay on his back on the chair, two young and beautiful women rushed over to help him pinch his shoulders and beat his legs, and another servant stood on both sides and was responsible for fanning. Everything was in place and comfortable, so the two masters Li and Liu were summoned.

"What does Master Liu think?" asked Wu Jingguo with his eyes slightly closed.

Master Liu said: "Back to the governor, I think it's true that Yu Qibai took refuge in the governor. ”

"Tell me about it. ”

Master Liu said, "Yes." In my dynasty, as a catcher, no matter how high his martial arts skills are and how great his merits are, he will never come out in the end, not to mention whether he is willing or not, his father-in-law Jiang Yuanling alone will never agree. There is a rule in our dynasty that those who have been caught fast are not allowed to participate in the imperial examination, and although it is difficult to become a general, it is the only opportunity......"

"Well, that's right. ”

"If a few years ago, we competed with the 'Guyu Party', he might have ulterior motives, now the governor of the palace is all over the world, your old words are the words of the emperor, don't say that his backstage 'prefect' is just a small five-grade official, even the prince can't go against this day, so he is so easy to make a contribution in front of your old man, and his performance is not enough, how can he have ulterior motives to kill himself?" Master Liu talked eloquently, seeing Wu Jingguo nodding slightly, quite approvingly, he couldn't help but glance at Master Li, his face was pale.

"So, you completely agree with Yu Yu's idea?"

Master Liu said: "Returning to the governor, I foolishly think that there is nothing wrong with it, and no matter whether the person behind his confession is true or false, as long as it is beneficial to us, it can be used." ”

Wu Jingguo smiled, and asked Master Li again, "What is Master Li's opinion?"

Master Li said: "Back to the governor, I also think it is feasible. If it is not successful, it is still not too late to torture him to extract a confession, take a step back and say that even if Yu Arrest has ulterior motives, can't we just plan it? ”

Wu Jingguo smiled, closed his eyes and stopped talking, Master Li made a gesture and retreated, and Master Liu also made a gesture out of the hall.
