Chapter 925: Shocking
Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!
The two strongholds provided by Xu Zheng, one in Chunying Lane and the other in Chunhe Lane, Xuying and Zhang Ben took the county soldiers to Chunying Lane, and Xuting and Xufei took the Jingshi army to Chunhe Lane.
It didn't take long for the news from both sides to come back one after another, and Xuying's side suffered from the stubborn resistance of the fine work, while the Xuting and Xufei sides did not encounter any resistance, and smoothly captured all the fine works in the stronghold.
When Xuting and Xufei brought back the captured fine works, the battle on Xuying's side came to an end.
Xuting and Xufei captured more than a dozen people, while Xuying only captured two alive, and the corpses of the fine work were brought back more than a dozen, most of which died from trauma, and a few others committed suicide by taking poison.
Dong Xuan and Zhang Ben interrogated these captured details. The two people who were captured by Xuying were so hard that they hated it, and they refused to say a word, but the meticulous work captured by Xuting and Xufei explained everything.
They are not the meticulous works of Gongsun Shu, but the hidden stakes that Kui Huan planted in Luoyang. Their daily work is to record some decrees and measures issued by the Luoyang Imperial Court, and then report to Liangzhou regularly.
After listening to the results of Dong Xuan's interrogation, Liu Xiu frowned. Hua Feiyan looked at Xu Zheng and asked, "Xu Zheng, didn't you say that these two strongholds are the finest works of Gongsun Shu?" "Why is it involved in the hustle and bustle again?
Xu Zheng grinned secretly, and he carefully explained: "Your Majesty, Hua Meiren, the subordinates can only judge that these two places are the strongholds of the fine work, but as for whose specific fine work it is, the subordinates ...... The subordinates really can't judge. ”
Liu Xiu nodded, Xu Zheng said this, it is also reasonable and reasonable. He said to Dong Xuan: "Bring the leader of Kui's hustle and bustle." ”
"Yes! Your Majesty! After a short time, Dong Xuan took a middle-aged man to the box where Liu Xiu was.
After the middle-aged man entered the box, he didn't see who was in the box, so he knelt down with a puff, kowtowed forward, and said in a trembling voice: "The villain is guilty, the villain deserves to die......"
Looking at the middle-aged man kowtowing like garlic, Liu Xiu slowly spoke: "Do you know me?" ”
Hearing this, the middle-aged man stiffened, and then slowly raised his head and looked at Liu Xiu. Seeing Liu Xiu's appearance clearly, the middle-aged man looked dazed, and stammered and asked, "Is this ...... This boy is ...... It's ......"
"I'm Liu Xiu." Liu Xiu had nothing to hide, and bluntly reported his name.
When the middle-aged man heard this, his head buzzed, and he almost fainted with fright. I'm just an insignificant little person, how did I attract the Son of Heaven? He bowed forward again and again, and said in a trembling voice: "The villain deserves to die, and the villain deserves to die." ”
Liu Xiu smiled lightly, raised his head and asked, "Tell me, what are you guilty of?" His words made the middle-aged man stunned. The middle-aged man looked at Liu Xiu, calmed down and thought about it carefully, although the general had a heart of disobedience, but Liu Xiu didn't know, now the two sides have not turned their faces, the general is still Liu Xiu's courtier, himself
is a subordinate of the general, strictly speaking, he is also Liu Xiu's courtier.
Thinking of this, the middle-aged man felt a little more at ease. He cleared his throat, straightened the clothes on his body, bowed forward again in a proper manner, and said loudly: "Weichen Li Ming, knock to see Your Majesty!" ”
Just looking at the change in the expression on the middle-aged man's face, Liu Xiu had already guessed the change in his mentality. He smiled slightly and said, "Your name is Li Ming?" ”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"You're General Kui's subordinate?"
"Exactly!"
"Why are you in Luoyang?"
"My subordinates were ordered by the general to study in Luoyang."
"What?" Liu Xiudu was almost amused, and asked with a smile: "Study?" ”
"Yes, the general instructed that Weichen should go to Luoyang to study the decrees and policies formulated by His Majesty, and then implement them to Liangzhou. The general has always respected the Son of Heaven, and all the laws and policies implemented by the Son of Heaven will be imitated by the general one by one. ”
"Haha!" Liu Xiu looked up and smiled, how could he never know that Kui Huan was so loyal to him? He raised his hand and pointed at Li Ming, and said, "Clever tongue is like a spring, and he has bad intentions. ”
Li Ming's face changed, he kowtowed again and again, and said, "Weichen doesn't dare, Weichen doesn't dare!" ”
"Li Ming, tell me, apart from you, how many hidden piles does General Kui have in Luoyang?"
"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty, WeChen...... Wechen is not a dark pile, Wechen is a ...... who came to Luoyang to study"
Liu Xiu was too lazy to ask more, turned his head to look at Dong Xuan, and said, "Take it down, strictly interrogate, as long as you can make him speak, it doesn't matter if you live or die." ”
"Wechen obeys!" Dong Xuan agreed, shook his head to the county soldiers on the side, and the two county soldiers stepped forward, grabbed Li Ming's arm, and dragged him out.
Li Ming's face changed in fright, and he screamed: "Your Majesty spare your life, Your Majesty spare your life......
Liu Xiu asked, "Where are the two people brought back by Xuying now?" ”
"Locked up in a firewood room." Xuting said.
"I'll take a look." Liu Xiu got up and went to the firewood room. The firewood room in the backyard of Qiwanlou is very large, and a lot of firewood and various sundries are piled up in it. When Liu Xiu came in, Zhang Ben and Xu Fei were executing the two captured prisoners.
One was tied to a wooden shelf, his clothes stripped naked, and his chest was covered in flesh and blood. The other was pressed to his knees by two county soldiers, his head dipped in a bucket full of water, gurgling and bubbling.
Seeing Liu Xiu approaching, everyone in the firewood room stopped one after another. The county soldier also pulled the head of the fine work out of the bucket, and the latter lay on the ground, coughing incessantly, and the water stains, snot, and tears on his face had melted together.
Liu Xiu glanced at Zhang Ben and Xufei, and asked, "How was the trial?" Xufei shook his head at Liu Xiu, indicating that there was no progress yet. Zhang Ben gasped for breath, put down the cuffs that he had rolled up, walked to Liu Xiu, bowed respectfully, and said: "Gongsun Shu's fine work has always been like this, the bones are hard,
The mouth is tight, and they won't open their mouths for a while, but Your Majesty can rest assured, Wechen will definitely be able to knock their mouths open! ”
Zhang Ben has fought with Gongsun Shu many times, and he has become more and more experienced in interrogating these hard bones.
Liu Xiu pondered for a moment and said: "Don't waste time on them, afterwards, you can take it back to the county government for a slow trial, and now, continue to investigate Guo District." ”
"Yes! Your Majesty! Zhang Ben and Xufei responded together. Liu Xiu looked at the two fine workers again, he walked up to the fine work tied to the wooden shelf, and looked at his chest, there were cuts, burns, and the salt foam around the wound could be faintly seen. Liu Xiu's eyes flashed, and he said, "You guys are still there."
is quite capable, and can dig a secret passage in Guo District unknowingly. "You must know that at that time, every household wanted to start construction, and they needed to report to the chief. This secret passage in the Seven Bowls Building, the project is not small, not to mention how they did not alarm others, and successfully dug out this secret passage, just dug out
Soil and rocks are not easy to handle.
This is not a basket or two baskets of earth and stones, nor a cart or two carts of earth and stones, but at least dozens or hundreds of carts of earth and stones, Gongsun Shu's meticulous work can secretly dispose of these, and it has not aroused anyone's suspicion, which is really incredible. The thin man's originally lowered head slowly raised, his scarlet eyes stared at Liu Xiu without blinking, the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, as if he was laughing, he was weak, and said intermittently: "Our ability is far greater than you imagined."
Much more. ”
"Oh? So, you don't just have this secret passage in Guo District? Liu Xiuxiao asked.
He snorted, closed his eyes, and didn't speak again.
Liu Xiu's eyes flashed, and he said: "You only have this little ability left, sneaky, like a mouse, except for being able to run a hole in the ground to escape, what else will it do?" ”
The closed eyes of the fine work opened suddenly, glared at Liu Xiu angrily, gritted his teeth and said, "Our tunnel can still be used to take your life!" ”
Liu Xiu immediately asked, "How can you take my life?" ”
The fine worker's heart trembled, and he looked at Liu Xiu directly, and after a while, he closed his eyes again, drooped his head, and stopped saying a word.
Liu Xiu stared at him for a while, then turned around and walked out of the firewood room. Outside, he asked softly, "Feiyan, did you hear him?" ”
Hua Feiyan did not enter the firewood room, but stood at the door of the firewood room. She nodded and said, "Feiyan heard it." ”
"What do you think?"
"It sounds like the other party's secret passage in the Northeast Guo District should be more than this, and ...... Moreover, Feiyan wondered if they wanted to dig the secret passage from Guo District all the way into the city? Hua Feiyan whispered.
Liu Xiu's heart moved, she was dazzled, and fell into deep thought.
He and Hua Feiyan had exactly the same idea, and the other party said that their secret passage could not only be used to escape, but also to kill themselves? But how can you kill yourself? Unless they're digging the secret passages into the city, digging into the palace.
Thinking of this, Liu Xiu's brows furrowed even deeper, and he muttered, "How did they dispose of the soil and rocks?" Xu Zheng on the side suddenly said: "Your Majesty, now all parts of Luoyang are building a lot of construction, especially in Guo District, where there are many places to start construction, and it is not difficult to dispose of the extra soil and stones from digging secret roads without revealing the mountains and waters."
"The buildings in the urban area have been basically saturated, but Guo District has just begun to develop, there are many people who build houses and renovate houses, and now Luoyang will transport a large number of civil engineering from outside the city every day.
The extra soil and rocks from digging the secret passage were quietly mixed into it.
Liu Xiu nodded thoughtfully and said, "If you really plan to dig the secret passage into the city, you need to dispose of a large amount of soil and rocks, and in the near future, you can focus on this point." ”
Xu Zheng nodded and replied, "My subordinates remember." The subordinates will arrange for the brothers to pay close attention. ”
Liu Xiu turned his head and asked, "Is there any news from Juan?" ”
Xu Zheng shook his head, and said: "I haven't been able to get out of the secret passage yet, there are too many mechanisms in the secret passage, which are both hidden and vicious, which makes people unguardable, and if you are not careful, your life will be lost." ”
Liu Xiu took a deep breath, I don't know if I don't check, this deep investigation is really shocking, this is only found out, I haven't found it, I don't know how many pickled things there are.
When it was time to come, Liu Xiu couldn't continue to stay here, he handed over the rest of the matter to Hua Feiyan, Deng Yu, Dong Xuan and others to deal with, he took Xuying, Xuting, Xufei and Luo You, and returned to the palace.
On the way back, Luo Yu said worriedly: "Your Majesty, the maid didn't expect that the situation in the Northeast Guo District would be so complicated. "There are not only the detailed works of Gongsun Shu, but also the detailed works of Kui Huan, in addition to the remnants of the rebel army like Xu Zheng, as well as the criminals who fled to Luoyang and so on. It's really a mix of dragons and snakes, and there are all kinds of people.
