After that, Tong Xin interrogated Xu Ji for a while, until he confirmed that Xu Ji did not know much, and then asked the royal guards to put him back in prison. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

At the same time, he lifted the shackles on Xi Jiang's body.

At this time, Xi Jiang's expression had become extremely solemn, and he asked Tong Xindao: "The Lord Commander is secretly investigating, could it be Xiao Shun?" ”

As a former high-ranking official of the imperial court, Xi Jiang naturally knew that Xiao Rence, a tumor buried in their Wei State, thought that in the case of the murder of Zhou Yan, the former Shangshu of the Criminal Department, the imperial court had judged Xiao Rei to be a heinous rebellious minister and thief, but it was not revealed to the public.

Tong Xin was silent for a moment, shook his head and said, "Forgive me for being inconvenient to disclose." ”

It seems that Xiao is rebellious......

Xi Jiang nodded knowingly, and finally came to his senses.

I remember that at first he felt strange, although his behavior of favoritism was indeed a violation of the law of the country, but it would not alarm Gong Weisi, and now he understands that what Wei Tianzi wanted to investigate was not his Xi Jiang's behavior at all, but Xiao Shun, who was behind this matter.

After thinking about it, Xi Jiang said to Tong Xin: "Xu Ji and I know each other, he will not be against the party, I can guarantee this matter with my net worth, as for Wang Hu...... I can't say that. ”

"Is he a native of Xiangyi?" Tong Xin asked.

Xi Jiang recalled, nodded and said, "It seems to be ...... It seems to be a person from (Xiangyi) County. ”

"Has this person ever been in the army?" Tong Xin asked again.

Xi Jiang nodded thoughtfully, and said: "It should be, when I returned to my ancestral hometown in Xiangyi a few years ago, I passed by the county seat, and at that time, there were several places in the city that were boasting about the scars on Wang Hu's body...... I should have joined the army. ”

Hearing this, Tong Xinzhong's suspicion of that Wang Hu deepened a little, after all, as far as he knew, a large part of the remnants of the Xiao clan were deployed by the late Nanyan general Xiao Boyuan.

Thinking of this, Tong Xin asked again: "Lord Xi, how much do you know about Wang Hu?" ”

Xi Jiang thought for a while and replied: "I don't know much about Wang Hu, I only know that he has good martial arts, it is said that after he returned to Xiangyi, he once cleaned up some ruffians and rangers in the county and obeyed them, so the Xiangyi County Order promoted Wang Hu to the county lieutenant." …… I don't know the specifics. ”

Looks like I'm going to have to go to Xiangyi myself.

"Hmm." Tong Xin nodded, clasped his fists and said to Xi Jiang: "Okay, there is Lord Lao Xi, I will send Lord Xi back to the cell." ”

"There is labor." Xi Jiang arched his hand.

After sending Xi Jiang back to the cell, Tong Xin took Tong Hu and several other guards and hurriedly left the prison of Dali Temple.

Before leaving the cell, Tong Xin unexpectedly found that in a cell, there was a prisoner (Sun Luo) who was watching him intently.

The Praetorian Guards came to the Dali Temple to imprison ...... It seems that this is not a small matter.

After waiting for Tong Xin to leave, Sun Luo beckoned the jailer Li Laoliu whom he had bought off, and asked in a low voice, "Sixth brother, who did those people go to see in prison?" ”

Li Lao Liu looked left and right, and saw that no one was paying attention, so he whispered: "Those people interrogated Xi Jiang, the left attendant of the original ministry, and the one named Xu Ji." ”

"Oh." Sun Luo touched his chin and thought about it, but unfortunately he couldn't think of a clue.

It's no wonder, after all, he doesn't know anything about Xiao Shun at all, how can he guess the purpose of Tong Xin's trip.

The only thing he knows is the reason why Xi Jiang and Xu Ji, the left servants of the Ministry of Officials, were imprisoned - abusing power for personal gain and favoritism.

Speaking of which, he had actually entrusted Li Lao Liu to eavesdrop, but unfortunately, Li Lao Liu saw Tong Hu holding a sharp knife outside the torture room, and he didn't dare to approach at all, after all, for a jailer like him, even if it was the skin of the Praetorian Guards worn by those imperial guards, he didn't have the courage to provoke it.

And just as Sun Luo and Li Laoliu were whispering, they suddenly heard a rush of footsteps at the entrance of the prison, and then, Dali Temple Prison Cheng Jinxu rushed to the prison in a hurry.

Catching a glimpse of Jin Xu out of the corner of his eye, Li Lao Liu immediately had a serious expression, and pretended to scold Sun Luo: "You want Lao Tzu to run errands for you for one or two silver?" Crazy you, aren't you? …… Ah, Golden Prison Officer. ”

Prison Cheng Jin Xu turned a blind eye to the panic on Li Laoliu's face, after all, he didn't care if Li Laoliu was blackmailing the prisoner Sun Luo, and when he got closer, he asked with a split head and a face: "But someone came to visit the prison with the token of the Praetorian Guard?" ”

"Yes, yes." Li Lao Liu didn't dare to hide it, and said truthfully: "Those few people promoted the left attendant of the original punishment department, Xi Jiang, and that Xu Ji in the torture room. ”

Hearing this, the prison servant Jin Xu frowned, walked to the depths of the prison, and walked back with a frown after confirming that Xi Jiang and Xu Ji were still in the prison.

Praetorian Guard? No, it should be Gong Weisi......

Muttering in his mouth, the prison servant Jin Xu walked back to the vicinity of Sun Luo's prison, his heart moved, and asked, "What did you say about the guards just now?" ”

"No, but the leader showed the Praetorian Guard's token." Li Lao Liu replied: "It seems to be...... The commander of the Praetorian Guard envoy Tong Xin. ”

Children's letters? Oh, it turned out to be Tong Xian's old eunuch's nephew...... It's Gong Weisi, that's right! …… I just said that why there was no movement some time ago, it turned out that I didn't want to startle the snake, and I wanted to wait for our attention to shift to the matter of the imperial hunt before we started to investigate...... It's so calm, faint.

The corners of his mouth raised a sneer, and the prison Cheng Jin Xu left expressionlessly.

Looking at the back of Jin Xu leaving, a trace of confusion flashed in Sun Luo's eyes.

At the beginning, he was very suspicious of the identity of Tong Xin's gang, after all, the main duty of the Praetorian Guard is to guard the safety of the palace and maintain the surrounding law and order, and the criminal interrogators can't fight with the eight poles, but today someone suddenly claimed that the Praetorian Guards broke into the prison of Dali Temple and wanted to interrogate the left servant Lang Xijiang of the original official department, so Sun Luo was very suspicious of Tong Xin's identity.

But looking at the attitude of Fang Cai Prison Cheng Jin Xu, this person and Tong Xin are obviously not in the same group.

In other words, Tong Xin's gang is a good person? - Anyway, in any case, Jin Xu, the prison man, is a big traitor in Sun Luo's eyes.

After all, even His Royal Highness King Su is suspicious of the prison Cheng Jin Xu, and His Royal Highness King Su will not be wrong.

"Sixth brother, pass on a message for me."

Sun Luo whispered a few words to Li Lao Liu, asking the latter to spread the news to the ears of his Sun Luo's gang of ranger brothers, and there would be people from the Green Crows to contact them on time.

At this time, Jin Xu, the prison servant, had returned to his class room, and saw him sitting on a chair in the room, as if waiting for someone.

After the conference, a person walked in outside the door, it was the Dali Temple Shen Gui.

Seeing this, Prison Cheng Jin Xu hurriedly stood up and arched his hand towards Shen Gui.

Shen Gui raised his right hand and slapped it a few times, looked back at the outside of the house, and then closed the door.

"How? Is it a member of the Praetorian Guard? He asked.

"If there is no accident, it should be the person of the Gong Wei Division, oh, the one who leads is Tong Xian's cousin Tong Xin...... the old eunuch seed," Prison Cheng Jin Xu said in a low voice, while pouring a cup of tea for Shen Gui.

"Tong Xin." Shen Gui smacked his lips with his tea, and then asked lightly, "He went to see Xi Jiang?" ”

"And Xu Ji." Jin Xu said in a worried tone: "I went to see afterwards, there are no obvious traces of torture on both Xi Jiang and Xu Ji, and their demeanor does not look like they have been tortured, if nothing else, Xu Ji should have confessed everything he knows." ”

"It doesn't matter." Shen Gui gently stroked the rim of the cup with his fingers, and said lightly: "The arrow has been shot, Xu Ji confesses or not, it has little impact, anyway, he doesn't know much, at most he confesses a Wang Hu." ”

Saying that, after pondering for a while, he said in a low voice: "If Tong Xin wants to follow the vine and touch the melon, he must go to Wang Hu, so it's okay, send someone to inform Wang Hu and ask him to find a way to kill Tong Xin, if I expect it to be true, Tong Xin will not bring too many people in order to prevent the news from leaking, and just take the opportunity to get rid of this faint king's minions!" ”

"I'm afraid it's not easy." Jin Xu said with a wry smile.

Regarding the Gong Wei Division, which Wei Tianzi secretly set up to deal with them, Jin Xu and the others are naturally no strangers.

As far as they knew, the equipment of the Gong Guard Division's imperial guards was definitely the top first-class in the Wei Kingdom.

Because the weapons and equipment created for the Imperial Guards of the Gong Guard Division are the internal bureau, and the internal bureau, don't look inconspicuous, but in fact, they share the technology of the Smelting Bureau, like what sleeve arrows, arm crossbows, and three-edged thorns, but all the technologies that the Smelting Bureau has, the Internal Construction Bureau actually has, but the Smelting Bureau has never made a statement, and is only responsible for arming the internal guards and the current Gong Wei Division.

And the most important thing is that the weapons and equipment mass-produced by the Smelting Bureau and the Military Casting Bureau are more concerned about price comparison, while the Internal Manufacturing Bureau does not have this consideration, they only need the best, so that some of the equipment that the Su Wang Army does not have the financial resources to allocate is provided by the Internal Construction Bureau to the Gong Wei Division.

For example, in the case of ring lock armor, in the case that the smelting bureau has not developed the corresponding mechanical technology, the internal manufacturing bureau is completely handmade, so every piece of armor is sky-high.

It's easier said than done to kill a Arch Guard who is armed to the teeth.

"Let Wang Hu do his best." Shen Gui said.

"Hmm." Jin Xu nodded, and then asked, "What about Xi Jiang, and Xu Ji's father and son?" ”

Shen Gui thought for a while and said: "Xi Jiang is temporarily kept, if he dies, Zhao Hongli, Zhao Hongyu, and Zhao Hongxin's faint dog sons will notice that something is wrong, and we don't have the energy to take care of Liang for the time being...... As for Xu Ji's father and son, hmph, they took our money, and finally betrayed us and sold us, heh, what are you doing with this wolf-hearted guy? Be covert and kill them. ”

"Isn't it wrong?" Jin Xu asked worriedly.

"It doesn't matter, the father and son are just insignificant people, and if they die, they will die, and they won't affect the overall situation. It just so happened that Tong Xin interrogated Xu Ji today, and Xu Ji also confessed, so he arranged for his father and son to commit suicide with shame. …… Don't worry if anyone will doubt that after the incident of the emperor's hunt, who will remember such a trivial matter? ”

Speaking of this, he drank the tea in the cup, licked his lips and said playfully: "The faint king has arrived at the hunting palace, I can't miss this good show." I can't wait to see for myself the ugly face of the Faint King when he was shocked. …… After I leave, you will be in charge of the girders. ”

"Yes, Lord Shen. No, it's ...... Xiao Luan's son. ”
