Chapter 52: It's hard not to doubt the man

"This plan is to lure the snake out of the hole." Chu Nanyue's eyes became dark.

"But General Chu, those people must have raised their vigilance, how should we design to lure them out?" Zhang Song was embarrassed.

You must know that since the thief is not a real soldier, he will naturally not be included in the army. They are careful in everything they do, because if they are caught, the matter may be exposed.

Originally, after the thief committed the crime, he thought that he had achieved the goal of blaming the garrison in the suburbs of Beijing, and Chu Nanyue, as the commander of the first army, was even more involved.

However, fortunately with the emperor's trust this time, Chu Nanyue participated in the investigation again, and found the suspicious points.

But the situation has finally reached such a point, will they still bother to take risks?

After all, as long as Chu Nanyue failed to investigate the case and could not find anyone to prove the innocence of the soldiers, Chu Nanyue had to resign as a general.

"They thought I was going to be helpless. But what if I do manage to put the matter to rest and settle it? Chu Nanyue said meaningfully.

"Solved?" Zhang Song wondered.

Chu Nanyue explained: "In the emperor's original words, it is not that I must find out the murderer, but that I should solve the matter properly. If I claim that I want to compensate the people for their money, I will only say that it is the fault of the soldiers under my rule, and I will admit it all. But the stolen people's money has been compensated accordingly, and the matter is over. ”

"Xiaguan understands." Zhang Song realized.

The man wanted to muddy the water and make things bigger, but they just released the news that the matter had been resolved and Chu Nanyue was safe and sound.

Thinking about the people behind the failure to achieve the goal, they will naturally not stop there, but repeat the old tricks and take risks.

And at that time, Chu Nanyue and others will be able to invite you into the urn.

Acting should be real. Chu Nanyue and Dongling Shuo really took people personally, went to the homes of the stolen people, and sent the same amount of property as compensation from the imperial court.

The next day, Chu Nanyue even went to the court to report the matter to the emperor.

When the emperor first heard Chu Nanyue's solution, he seemed to be slightly disappointed. However, when he heard that the stolen people had already accepted the compensation, the emperor did not say anything more, nor did he show that he wanted to pursue Chu Nanyue.

So for a few days, the capital was quiet. Almost everyone thought that the incident had subsided.

But Chu Nanyue knew that the people in the dark couldn't sit still for a long time.

In order to prevent people from escaping, Chu Nanyue's personal soldiers have quietly deployed at important intersections everywhere, and once someone makes any changes, they can block the intersection in groups and catch people.

This night, Chu Nanyue stayed up for half a night, and Zhang Song and Dongling Shuo were also in the yamen and did not leave.

Seeing that it was already dark, Zhou Yuanqi finally walked back from outside with a happy face.

"General! This time the thief has been caught! ”

It turned out that the main messenger behind the scenes really couldn't calm down, and sent these people to disguise themselves as soldiers again and go to a house to steal.

Because they wanted to make a big deal out of it, this time they even stopped for a while, and even picked up a knife and injured someone.

After succeeding, they wanted to escape as before, but they were blocked by Chu Nanyue's pro-soldiers who rushed up.

Two punches were hard to beat four hands, and three people were caught on the spot.

"Bring people in!" Chu Nanyue had the spirit and stood up from the seat and said.

Zhou Yuanqi drove people to kneel down in the hall, looking at the three thieves kneeling on the ground, Chu Nanyue pondered carefully.

Generally, the soldier's uniform is coarse, and the material is mostly cloth armor, and if you wear it all the time, it will inevitably become worn. And because the garrison on the outskirts of Beijing needs to cultivate the fields, there will inevitably be more mud stains on the cloth armor.

But at a glance at the three of them, the cloth armor on their bodies was particularly new, and it seemed that someone had deliberately imitated the style of the garrison on the outskirts of Beijing.

These people are not members of their own army, which can be understood and confirmed by the records above the military register. Even if this is brought to the emperor, it will not diminish the credibility in the slightest.

And Chu Nanyue was pondering at the moment, who could have the opportunity to pay attention to the garrison's uniforms, and even there was no mistake or omission in the style.

She had the answer in her mind. But I don't think it's just that, it's that simple.

Chu Nanyue looked at the thief coldly and asked, "Who is your mastermind behind the scenes?" ”

She spoke very slowly, deliberately leaving enough time for each other to think about it, and the three of them glanced at each other, but they were silent and did not say a word.

"What a faithful minion." Chu Nanyue sneered, "But the slave should also see if his master is worth it." Yuan Qi, go and lock them up in different rooms and interrogate them separately. ”

Zhang Song didn't look nervous: "General Chu, in my yamen, there are few others, but there are many torture tools. It is enough to interrogate a few prisoners. ”

What he fears most is that he won't be able to catch anyone. Now that he has a certificate in hand, he has a way to make people open his mouth.

"Then we won't rob Master Zhang's job." Chu Nanyue said calmly.

She and Tanglin Shuo both left first, and Zhang Song was in charge of the interrogator.

The three thieves were detained separately and could not collude to confess, but they were afraid that the other party would confide the truth first and put themselves under pressure. And Zhang Song used both soft and hard, so under the torture of Zhang Song's subordinates, he was quickly recruited.

"It's Xing Ziyi, a member of the military department!" One of them spoke.

Regarding the result, Chu Nanyue was mentally prepared, and he was not even surprised at all.

Many coincidences come together, and it is difficult for her not to suspect that person.

Zhang Song hurriedly asked the three men to sign the confession and detain them for the time being.

Chu Nanyue took the confession and waited for the morning court on the second day.

Their news was kept secret from the outside world, and the ministers of the DPRK and China only thought that the matter had been resolved, and Chu Nanyue himself admitted the loss, and paid out of his own pocket to compensate the stolen people's families.

The next morning, it was up.

Several officials played a few political affairs according to the routine, and after the emperor listened, all the ministers quieted down and prepared to go to the court.

So the emperor said: "Do you have anything to do?" ”

The court was silent, only Chu Nanyue suddenly stood up and said solemnly: "Back to the emperor, there will be important things to play in the end." ”

"What's the matter?" The Emperor was surprised.

The ministers also thought that the previous matter was over, and they didn't know what Chu Nanyue was doing.

"Your Majesty, the last general wants to be a member of the military department, Xing Ziyi, to bribe thieves with money, steal the money of more than ten families, and try in vain to blame our soldiers for this!" Chu Nanyue made a generous statement.

"Chu Nanyue, you are a bloody squirt!" Hearing the accusation, Xing Ziyi even ignored the etiquette in front of the court, and stepped forward in a panic to reprimand Chu Nanyue.

Xing Ziyi was completely panicked, and at this moment he also realized that the people he sent out had not come back yet, and most of them were planted in Chu Nanyue's hands.
