Chapter 146 Unnecessary?
Now that he had made up his mind, Chen Ziang immediately took action.
But he knew that his opponent was cunning, and it was absolutely impossible to reveal his identity easily, so he planned to start from the existing direction, such as He Zhi, who was captured by him and imprisoned in prison before.
If I could get a little bit of information from this mouth, I think it would save a lot of time.
Chen Ziang thought so, came to the prison again, and brought He Zhi up and began to interrogate.
"Tell me, why are you resisting?"
With an indifferent expression, Chen Ziang had no intention of showing any sympathy for this group of scum, if it weren't for the fact that the other party still had use value, he was afraid that he would kill He Zhi when he captured this person.
He Zhi's face turned pale, and he replied with some panic: "I, didn't I say it? You, why do you still ask?"
In the past few days in prison, He Zhi can be said to be worse than death, not only was he beaten by other people in the cage, but even his food was snatched away, so that he still feels hungry until now.
"Did I let you refute it?
Chen Ziang's eyes froze, and the jailer next to him immediately walked out, they took out the leather whip from their waists, and pressed He Zhi's shoulder with the other hand.
He Zhi had experienced too much of this action, and he immediately shouted.
"I said, I said it can't be done?"
"Wouldn't it be better to cooperate sooner? Do you have to be threatened?"
Chen Ziang scoffed and waved his hand to the jailer to step down.
He has also seen a lot of these prison elements, and naturally knows that although these guys look quite burly, they are actually just soft bones, as long as they threaten a little, they will immediately wag their tails and beg for mercy, and they will look like pugs.
"It's just that I said, can you not hit me?"
"It's up to you. β
"Okay, then I said it. β
He Zhi took a few deep breaths before he calmed himself down. His eyes were confused, as if he had gone back in time, and that experience made him feel like he had done a roller coaster.
"You also know that since you occupied Qingyang Mansion, my family's life has not been easy. After all, you are here, and there are many things that cannot be done. For example, the old man in my family, he was called by the government several times to reprimand, so that he has been accumulating a lot of grievances, and in private he has insulted the Chifeng Army many times, and even slandered King Jin and said bad things about her. β
Secretly glanced at Chen Ziang, He Zhi swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and only after seeing that he had no expression did he start to speak, but he was a little afraid that his words would make the other party excited.
However, Chen Ziang's calm temperament made He Zhi even more nervous, and his whole heart was hanging, for fear that he would hide a little, and as a result, he would anger the other party, so he thought about the wording for a while before he dared to elaborate it, so as not to anger the other party by not paying attention.
"It should be more than that!
"And then you know. Because the Mongols were completely driven away, the old man of my family was also angry and died directly. And the rest of the people either died or left because of many things, and in short, I was the only one left in the whole clan. β
"So you became the patriarch? It's a pity that you could have lived a good life and made this choice. β
Chen Ziang was amazed, when the situation was so obvious, the other party still did such a stupid thing, which is really amazing.
He Zhi grinned, as if he wanted to laugh, but his smile was embarrassing, and his voice was unusually low, all of which were dissatisfied with and regretful to himself.
"Yes, I didn't plan to rebel in the first place. After all, I'm not a genius, and there are only hundreds of people in my clan at best, so how can I fight against you?"
"But you did it anyway. Isn't it?"
"That's right. How could I have gotten this far without that stinky boy?" Clenching his fists, He Zhi was suddenly full of anger, and shouted directly: "That guy, how dare you do that to me! If he appears in front of me, I will have to kill him." β
"He's a bastard, but you're not a good guy either. The two of you, a radius of eight taels. Chen Ziang sneered.
Before coming here, he checked the information of the investigation and knew that He Zhi had snatched a peasant girl home as a concubine before this, but unfortunately this behavior made the peasant girl's fiancΓ© lively.
The fiancΓ© was furious, not only reported the matter to Chifengjun, but also directly killed his six-year-old son.
This incident was the trigger for the whole incident, and on the surface, it was.
"Okay. But I was really a sperm worm at the time, and I miscalculated things. β
He Zhi made a bitter face and admitted the matter.
He has always been an arrogant and domineering son, and this kind of behavior is growing day by day when his people are dead or gone, even if he knows that the entire Qingyuan Road has changed course, he still makes no secret of it, thinking that he can hide it from the world as usual.
But the Red Phoenix Army was not Mongolia after all, and it was directly inserted into it under this pretext, which eventually led to He Zhi preparing to rebel to maintain his rule.
"And you know, what about those guns in your collection?" Chen Ziang continued to ask.
He Zhi was stunned for a moment, and asked with some repulsion: "Why are you asking this?"
"You know, too. Because of those guns, my soldiers have suffered a lot of losses. If you want to get out of here safely, without an explanation, then I can't guarantee your life. Chen Ziang pressed step by step and continued to ask.
He was too skilled at dealing with these guys, and he already knew where to intervene.
"This is all collected by the old man!" He Zhi was a little nervous, his eyes began to flicker, and his body was a little unable to sit still, and began to shake slightly.
Chen Ziang asked, "Oh, then tell me, why did he collect these things?"
This kind of action clearly means that the other party has a ghost in his heart, and Chen Ziang can see it clearly.
"It's not because of you?"
He Zhi sat down on the chair with his head bowed, and continued: "Since you came, your lord has issued many decrees prohibiting us from accepting homeless people and raising family members, and the old man of my family has begun to prepare for this matter. Not only did he secretly collude with the Mongols and obtain a large number of guns from the Mongols, but he also began to train his family members to start plotting rebellion. β
"It seems that you have been prepared for a long time, otherwise where would you be able to make such a big fuss?" Chen Ziang sneered.
From the time the other party generated the idea to the time to complete it, it seems that the other party is also capable of being able to prepare it in just one or two years.
"But can you tell me how those guns were transported? After all, hundreds of guns are not something that ordinary people can collect. Chen Ziang continued to ask.
You must know that the management of guns in the Red Phoenix Army has always been quite strict, and the scrapped guns must be melted down, and those guns that are in the people are regularly inspected every year so as not to be stolen.
The purpose of this is to ensure the safety of the rule.
He Zhi was nervous for a moment, and then raised his head, but he showed a little distress.
"I don't remember exactly. β
"Can't remember, have you hurt your brain all these years?"
"Nope!"
He Zhi shook his head, saying that he didn't quite understand, until now he still had illusions in his heart, did he want to have a chance to escape?
Chen Ziang saw that the other party pretended to be a dead fish and was not afraid of boiling water, so he naturally knew it in his heart, and shouted directly: "Since that's the case, then you tell me you don't remember?" The voice suddenly rose, and the two jailers also stared at He Zhi with their eyes fixed, staring at He Zhi condescendingly, the leather whip in their hands was clenched tightly, and it would be waved out anytime and anywhere, just to teach the guy in front of him a lesson.
"But I really don't remember. β
He Zhi's eyes were silent and he shouted loudly.
His two eyes looked around, as if there was some ghost near several people, and he would suddenly appear at any time and place, and then startle the other party.
"Don't remember?"
"That's right. I don't remember. β
"Really?" Chen Ziang's eyes froze, and he scolded in a low voice.
He Zhi seemed to be frightened, he fell directly from the seat with a bang, holding his head with both hands, his whole face was covered with green tendons, and he looked frightened.
"Don't ask me again, I don't remember anything. β
As he spoke, he made a high-pitched sound like "ahhhh
When Chen Ziang saw the other party's appearance, he was secretly surprised in his heart: "This doesn't look like a fraud." But why did he become like this? Could it be that someone is doing something?" Then he called the jailer and asked, only to know what blow He Zhi had suffered in the past few days.
It turned out that during this time, He Zhi didn't know what the reason was, and he was beaten by those prisoners all the time.
The jailers were not interested in interfering, so they were naturally happy to watch the excitement from the sidelines, let alone stop each other.
After all, in this era, the so-called human rights do not exist at all, and humanitarianism is 1,800 years late, and there are no such complicated legal procedures for suspects, and it has always been a direct torture to force a confession.
Although Xiao Feng promoted the separation of powers system and the modernization of the army, he was not interested in interfering in the prison, so this phenomenon was caused.
After listening, Chen Ziang cursed in a low voice: "Look at this, I have to run again." β
He originally thought that He Zhi would open a new door for himself, but it was obvious that the information provided by the other party was limited, and he had to collect more things himself.
Back in the palace, Chen Ziang told Liu Bingkun about the entire interrogation process.
After hearing this, Liu Bingkun asked, "Then what means do you plan to use?" After all, He Zhi is already crazy, and it is impossible for him to spit out information. β
"That's right!"
Chen Ziang was a little annoyed, and he felt like a donkey, being hung away.
It's clear that the target is in front of you, but you can't catch the other person.
Calming down, Chen Ziang thought about it with his heart, and suddenly felt puzzled, and asked, "It's just General Liu, don't you feel a little strange?"
"What's wrong?" Liu Bingkun asked.
"The previous prison tragedy, as well as the death of He Zhi this time, seem to have been caused by our negligence. But General Liu, don't you think these two things happened too much of a coincidence?" Chen Ziang spoke.
"Coincidence? Liu Bingkun nodded, and also felt doubts in his heart, and said: "Every time the investigation is clear, the other party dies directly." It's as if the other party knows what we're going to do!" Then he was startled, looked at Chen Ziang again, and opened his mouth to complain: "You mean the inner ghost?"
"That's right. I suspect that among us, there is only a demon within. As for the prison, he should have instructed him. Nodding with a serious face, Chen Ziang clenched his hands, and his heart was also full of doubts.
Who is the person who leaked the information?
Liu Bingkun also felt the seriousness of the whole situation.
He said solemnly: "If this is the case, then we have to think carefully about the next things." β
"That's right. After all, that guy is hiding in the shadows, and we're in the light, and we don't know what he's going to do next!" Chen Ziang replied, and then felt that he was too negligent before, and let this kind of thing happen again and again.
"Then do you have someone in mind? It shouldn't be our people who can do this kind of thing. Maybe that guy is new to us, and if he can do this kind of behavior under our noses, then his ability should not be weak. Liu Bingkun asked.
Obviously, it is impossible for Liu Bingkun and Chen Ziang, both of them came out of the Red Phoenix Army, and they are both prosperous and lossy with the Red Phoenix Army, and it is impossible to do this kind of thing.
Chen Ziang froze for a moment, and opened his mouth to say, "Antu?"
"Antu, is that him?" Liu Bingkun asked.
"I don't know. Chen Ziang shook his head, trying to dispel the doubts in his heart, but the more he did this, the more he felt that the other party's behavior was full of strange places, and said: "But he often talks to me, and what I do is not very hidden." He is the only one who can know so many things. β
Liu Bingkun looked angry and shouted: "Since this is the case, then I will go and catch him and interrogate him well." β
He has also met this Antu a few times, because the other party is a local person, so he has not liked it very much, but after hearing Chen Ziang talk about the other party may be a spy, he immediately planned to solve the other party.
Chen Ziang stopped: "No, let's wait a while!"
"Wait a while? Why? You must know that if the other party finds out, I am afraid that the other party will run away. Won't we fall short then?" Liu Bingkun didn't understand, but shouted angrily.
Chen Ziang explained: "But you also know that the other party has a good reputation in the local area, and if we make a rash move, we are afraid that we will be slandered by the other party at that time and make some "unwarranted" statements." When the time comes, the whole territory is unstable, what will we do?"
