Chapter 1222: Chen Mazi
The assassin was Lu Dong, and it turned out that the reason why he was so calm was because he had already thought about assassinating Bao Zheng.
It was late at night, but the entire Huainan Mansion was lively.
Everyone wants to judge Lu Dong at night, judging from his skills, he is definitely not as simple as a rice shop owner.
Lu Dong was unusually calm at this time, for him, there was nothing worth panicking about, he knelt on the ground, without saying a word, after Bao Zheng and Hua Lang and the others glanced at each other, Bao Zheng asked: "Why did you want to kill this official?" β
Lu Dong didn't hide it, and said: "Kill you, and our grain will be saved." β
Bao Zheng snorted coldly: "You think too naΓ―ve, even if the official is killed, you can't save the food, you kill the official, there must be other reasons, if you know each other, it's better to say it." β
Lu Dong smiled coldly: "It's just to save those grains." β
Looking at Lu Dong's appearance, Hua Lang was thinking about what they investigated about this Lu Dong, this Lu Dong came to Huainan two years ago to do business, and the business was very big at the beginning, but it was not a rice grain business, and then there was a famine here, so he started to do rice and grain business, and the price was set very high, and he made a lot of money during this period of time.
It's just that no one knows about Lu Dong's past, and he can't find out.
After thinking about it carefully, Hua Lang frowned slightly, and then said to Bao Zheng: "Brother Bao, you and I haven't been here in Huainan for many years, but this Lu Dong only came here two years ago, we really have no grudges with him, as for killing you because of the relationship between rice and grain, it obviously doesn't make sense, I don't know if Brother Bao ever thought of the reason why he killed you?" β
Bao Zheng frowned slightly, not understanding what Hua Lang meant by saying these words, so he asked, "Could it be that Brother Cheng Hua knows?" β
Hua Lang smiled: "No, I still thought of it." β
"Oh, please make it clear to Brother Hua!" Bao Zheng was a little surprised, it was really a very unpleasant thing to be assassinated for such an unknown reason.
Hua Lang smiled: "Remember the matter of the stream shop, we killed all the robbers in the stream shop, but we didn't find that Chen Mazi, in addition, the rice grain is also a lot less, you look at this Lu Dong, will it be that Chen Mazi." β
Bao Zheng was taken aback, a little incredulous, and said, "This Lu Dong is Chen Mazi?" He doesn't have pockmarks on his face, huh? β
Hua Lang shrugged: "Whoever says that if you call it pockmark, it must be pockmark, and the name is just a name." β
Bao Zheng had an epiphany, then looked at Lu Dong and asked, "Are you Chen Mazi?" β
Lu Dong's expression changed slightly, but he quickly retorted: "No, I am Lu Dong." β
Seeing Lu Dong so insisting, Bao Zheng was also helpless, but he felt that it didn't matter, whether this Lu Dong was Chen Mazi or not, he wanted to assassinate himself, this kind of crime was enough for him to bear, anyway, his life was difficult to protect.
And just when Bao Zheng was thinking like this, Hua Lang suddenly smiled at Bao Zheng and said, "Brother Bao, when we entered the stream shop that day, do you remember that scene?" β
Listening to Hua Lang say this, Bao Zheng knew that Hua Lang had not given up on testing Lu Dong's meaning, the two had been friends for many years, and naturally had a very tacit understanding, after listening to Hua Lang's words, Bao Zheng immediately understood, and then sighed twice, and said: "Naturally remember, the scene at that time was really tragic, dozens of robbers in the stream shop, all of them were killed by us, the killing was happy, and the killing was enjoyable." β
After Bao Zheng finished saying this, Hua Lang also nodded, and said: "Yes, we were too heavy at that time, and almost none of those robbers were killed by us with a whole corpse, I remember that there was a person who kept kneeling down and kowtowing and begging for mercy, but because he was a robber, we still killed him, alas, think about it carefully, he should have been released at that time." β
Bao Zheng frowned slightly, and said: "Brother Hua's words are wrong, that group of people robbed the disaster relief food and harmed how many people, like that kind of person, let alone let them go, I can't crush them and scatter ashes and kill their whole family, alas, it's a pity, I should have asked who their whole family was, if they knew, the official really wanted to kill his whole family and dig out their ancestral grave." β
After Bao Zheng finished saying this, Hua Lang smiled: "Brother Bao, it's over, it's over, I'll just look at the ancestral grave, just kill their whole family, as long as Brother Bao wants to, it's not a difficult matter, I will send someone to investigate after dawn tomorrow, and after finding their whole family, they will all be arrested and handed over to Brother Bao for disposal......"
The two of them talked like this, and they were very happy to talk about the miserable situation of those people in the stream, and just as they were talking like this, Lu Dong, who had been silent, suddenly shouted: "Enough! β
After hearing this, Bao Zheng and Hua Lang knew that the purpose of the two of them had finally been achieved, they just wanted to tell the situation of the stream shop at that time to provoke Lu Dong, because when Hua Lang mentioned the stream shop, Bao Zheng immediately thought that Lu Dong assassinated him, probably because they killed so many of their brothers in the stream shop, after all, it really makes some sense to kill a big official like Bao Zheng just because of some money.
Now, everything has been understood, this Lu Dong is Chen Mazi, and whether he admits it at this time or not, for Bao Zheng and Hua Lang, it is no longer so important.
At this time, Lu Dong glared at Hua Lang and Bao Zheng, and said angrily: "You killed so many of my brothers, I fought with you!" β
Lu Dong wanted to fight, but he didn't have a chance at all, because Zhanzhao and others were here, he was kicked to the ground again, and at this time, Bao Zheng smiled coldly: "In this way, you are admitting that you are Chen Mazi." β
"I ...... I'm not! β
Bao Zheng shrugged: "Whether you are or not, it doesn't matter anymore, come on, take this person away, just find a time to kill him." β
After receiving the order, the official escorted Lu Dong away, at this time the night was already very deep, and Hua Lang was also sleepy, so he said goodbye to Bao Zheng, Bao Zheng yawned, and gave up.
Slowly, the night returned to tranquility, and the entire Huainan Mansion was quiet, but it was not quiet in the prison, when Lu Dong and Liang Xiao met, they couldn't help but scold, Lu Dong Liang Xiao did not protect his brother, and Liang Xiao scolded for cooperating with Lu Dong, causing him to lose his future, and he may soon lose his life, the two scolded in the cell, the scene was quite hot.
After such a night, all kinds of things in Huainan City began one after another, distributing food to the people, giving them seeds to cultivate quickly, of course, at this time, Hualang They were not idle, because there was an important thing that they needed to do.
