Chapter 136: Out of the City
"Thorough investigation, must be thoroughly investigated!"
Hearing the news, Liu Bingkun was frightened.
If it weren't for the jailer and the prisoner being divided into two canteens, I am afraid that his subordinates and the entire cell would have died because of this.
Chen Ziang also had a serious face, and asked all the people in the kitchen to be brought in and interrogated one by one. Under all kinds of interrogation, Chen Ziang also identified the suspect, this suspect is a middle-aged woman, the clothes on her body are also tattered, obviously not a rich person.
But if you are a rich person, how can you do such a degrading thing?
"Tell me, why did you poison you?"
Staring at the woman in front of him, Chen Ziang could not hide the anger in his eyes.
"Poison? I, I didn't poison it! I just ......" the woman tried to quibble.
Chen Ziang directly retorted: "Didn't you poison it? Then tell me, how did those prisoners die?"
He knew that it was just the woman in front of him, it was absolutely impossible to poison her, and she didn't have the courage to risk angering the Red Phoenix Army, just to poison a group of mortal people, and the only explanation was that there must be someone behind it.
"This, me!"
The woman's body shook, her two eyes looked at it randomly, especially when she touched Chen Ziang's sharp gaze, she was so frightened that she quickly lowered her head, and said with a frightened look: "This, in fact, when I went to buy vegetables at noon today, I met a person on the road. The man gave me a packet of things, and said that if I mixed it into the dish, he would give me a hundred yuan!"
"Sure enough, someone secretly instructed it. ”
Chen Ziang's mind tightened, and he whispered: "Then do you know who the other party is?"
"This?" The woman looked dazed, shook her head and replied, "The other party is wearing a black robe, and his face is also covered with a black veil, which covers his appearance, so I can't see clearly." ”
"Damn, don't you know?" Chen Ziang was annoyed for a while.
Almost instinctively, he already knew why the other party wanted to poison the criminals in the prison, just because among these criminals who were imprisoned in prison, someone must know who the person behind the instructions was, otherwise why would that guy be so eager to kill people and kill them?
"In that case, do you know any other characteristics of the other party?"
Even so, Chen Ziang continued to ask with hope.
The woman remembered for a moment, and then replied, "The man was very tall, about eight feet tall. And I remember that the other party had a very thick beard, and his accent sounded a little strange, and by the way, there was a strong smell of smell on him. ”
"Does the accent sound weird? Chen Ziang continued to ask.
For every message, it is important for him to make sure that there are no mistakes or omissions.
The woman opened her mouth and replied, "How do you say that? I feel that he is too hard to speak, and many of his words are not up to standard, and it sounds like he has just learned." ”
"So that's it?" Chen Ziang thought thoughtfully, and thought to himself: "If this is the case, then the scope can be greatly narrowed." Waving his hand, he asked the jailer to take the woman and child down, and found Liu Bingkun again, and explained the information he got one by one.
After hearing this, Liu Bingkun frowned slightly, and said, "According to what the woman said, you want me to find a foreigner who is eight feet tall and wears a black robe and black veil?"
"That's right. I suspect that Mongolia was responsible for this incident. After all, they are the only ones who have the ability and motivation to do this kind of thing. ”
Chen Ziang replied: "After all, because of this series of rebellions, the entire Qingyang Mansion has always been in chaos, and it has never been able to calm down. Even if they wanted to support the lord, they would not be able to draw up their strength! More importantly, if they secretly gathered an army and cooperated with the Mongol army in Anding to attack Qingyang Mansion, I am afraid that it will be difficult for us to save our lives at that time. ”
After Liu Bingkun listened, his two eyebrows were all twisted together, looking at the huge Qingyang Mansion, he actually felt that under this prosperous scene, there seemed to be a powder keg hidden, which would blow it all up anytime and anywhere.
"So, do we have to catch that guy as soon as possible?"
"That's right. If he continues to run amok, we are all in danger. ”
Chen Ziang stared at Liu Bingkun deadly, only hoping that Liu Bingkun could make a move and put the entire Qingyang Mansion under martial law, so that they could also follow the news and find out that person.
Liu Bingkun shook his head helplessly and replied: "I'm sorry, I'm just afraid that it won't work!"
"Why?" Chen Ziang's eyes were red, but he ignored his superiors and subordinates, and shouted directly.
He desperately wanted to catch that person, otherwise the entire Qingyang Mansion would be in crisis, why was Liu Bingkun unwilling to accept it?
Liu Bingkun shook his head and said helplessly: "Do you know how many troops are needed to impose martial law in the whole city? At least 5,000 men and horses are needed! But in this case, the men and horses we put outside will have to be withdrawn, and when the local area loses its suppression, those local tyrants and shoddy gentry will make a comeback, and when the time comes, they will only need that person to bewitch them in the countryside, then they will be unscrupulous, and even directly attack Pingyang Mansion." When the time comes, how can Pingyang Mansion alone be able to resist?"
"But!"
Chen Ziang still wants to insist.
But Liu Bingkun was resolute and directly vetoed: "What's more, the appearance and characteristics of the person you mentioned are too vague. And if that person only needs to take off his clothes and hide in the crowd, how can we judge? More importantly, if we take such an action, it will only startle the snake, but it will only make the other person wake up and escape directly from our grasp. When the time comes, what will you and I do?"
Liu Bingkun is more worried about this matter than anyone else, but he has been in a high position for nine years, and what he sees naturally exceeds that of Chen Ziang, at least he understands that at this time, if he acts rashly, it will only alert the other party.
When the other party escapes directly, it is naturally not what the two of them want.
Although Chen Ziang understood, the anger in his heart was difficult to solve, so he had to lower his head and replied with a gloomy expression: "Okay, I know!"
Returning to the room without any energy, he was still angry, and he couldn't figure out why the man knew he was going to interrogate the bandits, and he took a step forward to kill them.
What's wrong with this?
Unable to figure this out, Chen Ziang was never able to sleep peacefully.
As for Liu Bingkun, he looked at Chen Ziang's distant figure quite gloomy, and was secretly worried in his heart, thinking: "Alas, I hope you can recover as soon as possible, otherwise there will be no one to deal with that guy." Then thinking about the woman's confession, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and he muttered to himself: "But since you dare to make these things, this person must also have extraordinary energy, otherwise it would never have been possible to do such a thing." ”
Thinking of this, Liu Bingkun recruited his subordinates again and asked them to monitor the exotic people in the city, especially those rich businessmen, which was the top priority.
As soon as you make a move, it is a hundred yuan, which is not something that ordinary businessmen and even ordinary people can afford, and only these gentry have such energy.
Seeing those dead prisoners, Liu Bingkun was also extremely angry, and directly reprimanded the people in charge of the prison, and asked them to strictly guard against death, in case this kind of thing happens again in the future, and in order to prevent these jailers from slacking off, they also canceled the system of dividing the pot.
While everyone was eating the same meal, these jailers probably wouldn't be as lax as they used to be.
The next day, Chen Ziang reappeared in front of Liu Bingkun.
"You mean, you're going out of town?" Liu Bingkun asked.
Chen Ziang closed his head and replied, "That's right. Although the bandits in the city were all poisoned, I think he should be able to kill the bandits outside the city for a while. After all, that person still needs the help of these bandits, how can he be poisoned? So I think maybe we can start from this aspect, and we should be able to find some clues. ”
"That's true. It's just that you know that if you leave Pingyang Mansion, you can only rely on yourself, and if you encounter any danger, no one can rescue you in time. Liu Bingkun was a little overjoyed, he was able to come back from his loss so quickly, and the person in front of him was indeed extraordinary.
Chen Ziang's fighting spirit was high, and he replied directly: "This mission is dangerous, can it be more dangerous than the original extermination of Jin Wujian? General Liu, please rest assured, this time I will definitely bring good news." ”
Not necessarily!
Liu Bingkun thought in his heart, intersecting with Jin Wuji, who was just a lonely person, then there were many talents under the command of Mongolia, and those who could carry out this task were only afraid of ordinary people, how could such a person be compared with Jin Wuji, the king of the mountain?
"By the way, this is my jade plate. ”
Thinking of this, Liu Bingkun took off the jade plaque on his waist again and put it in Chen Ziang's hand: "If you meet my soldiers along the way, just show them this jade plaque, and they will naturally help you." You know what?"
"Thank you General Liu for Zanmiao, my subordinates will definitely succeed this time. Chen Ziang replied loudly.
Of course, he knew that the road was extremely dangerous, but he still made up his mind and vowed to find the man, so he could not give up halfway.
What's more, Liu Bingkun had already laid out the layout and began to monitor those foreign people in the city who had just entered the city, no matter what the intentions of these foreign people were, as long as they stayed in this Qingyang Mansion for a long time, they would definitely show their feet, and even if there was no Chen Ziang, he could directly use the army to solve the matter.
The reason why I haven't done it yet is just that I'm afraid of startling the snake.
In order to avoid being discovered by the people in the city, Chen Ziang took advantage of the darkness and left Qingyang Mansion directly under the cover of Liu Bingkun.
The sound of horses' hooves rattled and led the people on their bodies into the darkness, without the slightest life.
"Well, I hope this time, you'll be able to come back safely. ”
Liu Bingkun has faded from his composure during the day, and now he is like an old father who misses his wanderer from afar, and he only has worries in his heart.
"After all, behind that man is Mongolia. Just those murderous guys, I don't know what they're going to do. I'm afraid that you alone may not be able to fight against it. ”
