Chapter 442: Suicide
Now that the twelve murderous stars have been captured, Wang Mu immediately launched an investigation.
The results of this investigation are naturally frightening, especially since many previous murders are closely related to them.
Knowing this fact, Wang Mu felt frightened and hurriedly found Zhang Wei and Xiao Jingmao.
"Are you saying that the twelve murderous stars were instructed by Yang Chenglong? Is this serious?"
After listening to the report, Zhang Wei's face turned white, because according to Wang Mu's investigation, the explosion of the Jin-Shaanxi Railway and the damage to the East China Sea Fleet were all from Yang Chenglong's masterpieces, and their purpose was precisely to delay the actions of the Huaxia Army and make Xiao Feng fall into a siege.
Wang Mu nodded and replied, "That's right. That's why I'm here to ask you for advice. After all, this matter involves the former prime minister, and it is not up to me to decide. ”
"Alas. What is going on with him, why would he do such a thing?" After hearing this, Xiao Jingmao also had a gloomy face.
That Yang Chenglong and he have also been partners for many years, and they have cooperated a lot in the past, but now they have fallen and even plan to destroy all this, which makes him wonder why Yang Chenglong wants to do such a thing.
Wang Mu replied: "Maybe it's because of Yang Zishan's case." ”
"Yang Zishan?"
Xiao Jingmao thought for a moment, and then said: "I didn't expect his heart knot to be so serious, and it hasn't been dissolved until now?"
"Prime Minister Shaw. ”
Wang Mu paused, and then asked: "I want to ask, why did the former prime minister get so entangled in this matter? You must know that Yang Zishan has committed a heinous crime, but the death penalty for betraying him is already good." ”
If it is based on what the emperors of the previous dynasties did, it should be a full house of beheading.
But Xiao Feng only set off like Yang Zishan, and did not involve anyone else, which shows his benevolence, but unfortunately this benevolence, but no one realized it after all, but blamed Xiao Feng for it.
"Alas. It was not because of the construction of the railway that Yang Chenglong had been running around, but because he neglected his son's teaching, so that Yang Zishan became like this. He felt guilty and naturally loved Yang Zishan in every way. It's a pity that this favor hurt his children, and even he was involved. Xiao Jingmao sighed.
He is also very clear about Yang Chenglong's affairs, and now seeing Yang Chenglong become like this, he feels helpless.
Wang Mu pursed his lips and said, "In that case, then I don't know what Prime Minister Xiao should do? After all, Yang Chenglong committed this kind of thing, which is really unforgivable." ”
"Hmm. I'll take care of him. And I remember that there was more than one person behind the twelve murderous stars, there were other people. Go ahead and investigate, and I'll take care of the rest. Xiao Jingmao sighed, his mind couldn't help but wander, and he began to think about Yang Chenglong.
Now, after hearing the news, what will he think?
"Perhaps, I should go and see him. After all, he is also a colleague for many years, and it is not a good thing to give up like this. Xiao Jingmao paused, then said goodbye to the two of them and walked towards the Yang Mansion.
At this moment, he wanted to take a look at Yang Chenglong's appearance and understand the reason why he became like this.
............
"Twelve Murder Stars, have you been caught?"
Sitting quietly in the room, Yang Chenglong kept wiping the gun in his hand, and his eyes skimmed from the newspaper next to him.
"Ten years later, one day destroyed. Tell you how the Twelve Murderous Stars fell!"
Above the newspaper, the clear headlines told him what had happened. And after learning the news, he understood that all the things he had committed had been exposed, and it was absolutely impossible to continue to hide them.
At this moment, Xiao Jingmao walked in from outside the door.
His eyes were slightly together, Xiao Jingmao noticed the gun in Yang Chenglong's hand, and couldn't help sighing, and sat down on the opposite seat: "You already know?"
"That's right. After all, with such a big news, I have no reason not to be clear. ”
Yang Chenglong was still fiddling with the gun in his hand, and did not raise his eyes to look at Xiao Jingmao.
Xiao Jingmao suddenly felt a solemn atmosphere, thinking about what Wang Mu had told him before, and said, "Then those things were also instructed by you?"
"That's right. ”
Yang Chenglong nodded, and then put down the gun: "You came here, and that's what you asked?"
"Or else?"
Xiao Jingmao sighed slightly and said, "It's just that I really can't imagine, why did you do such a thing?"
"Revenge, of course. ”
Yang Chenglong replied as he should.
"Did that work?"
Xiao Jingmao held back his anger and asked in a low voice.
Yang Chenglong was annoyed, lowered his head and replied, "No." ”
"Yes! And you also paid for it, is it worth it?" Seeing Yang Chenglong's eyes gloomy, Xiao Jingmao couldn't help but shake his head: "If you know this, why bother in the first place?"
"Huh!"
The corners of Yang Chenglong's mouth curled slightly, revealing a little disdain: "For you, maybe it's just like that." But for me, that's not the case. Noticing Xiao Jingmao's strange eyes, he began to explain: "Over the years, you also know how much I have paid for this court? But with a single word, Xiao Feng will take away everything I have, what is the reason?"
"Just because of Yang Zishan?"
Xiao Jingmao was puzzled and said again.
He also knew that the reason why Yang Chenglong got off the horse was because his son Yang Zishan was involved in embezzlement of public funds, which led to the next tragedy.
"That's right. ”
Yang Chenglong nodded as he should, and replied: "It's just some money, why should the lord be so harsh?"
"Alas. ”
Xiao Jingmao shook his head and said, "Is it just some money? Do you know that that that money is the life-saving money of those disaster victims, and without this money, they will not even be able to continue their lives, do you understand this?"
As a veteran soldier who came out of the Long March, Xiao Jingmao has never forgotten everything that happened, and the feeling of hunger is really torturous.
It is precisely because he has experienced all this that Xiao Fengfang will let people allocate funds to help the victims, so that these people can also have a bite to eat, instead of starving, such a tragic thing in the world as Yi Zi eating cannot happen.
"So what?"
Yang Chenglong was still stubborn and fell into his own conjecture: "Don't forget, if it weren't for me to preside, how could there be a railway connecting all parts of China today? Now that the railway is completed, then Xiao Feng plans to unload the mill and kill the donkey?"
"I said it, not for that reason. And if the lord really wants to destroy you, why should he keep you until now?" Xiao Jingmao shook his head and continued to persuade.
"Huh. You are now the prime minister, so you naturally have the favor of Xiao Feng. Yang Chenglong waved his hand and said impatiently: "As for me, what is it?"
"Okay. ”
Seeing that Yang Chenglong was still stubborn, Xiao Jingmao's face was gloomy, so he had to get up and leave.
As he walked out of the room, a burst of gunfire could be heard inside.
Hearing this gunshot, Yang Chenglong's wife and children poured in together, and when they saw her husband's blood, she hugged her head and cried.
Xiao Jingmao shook his head helplessly, and said, "If you know this, why bother in the first place?" If Yang Chenglong had stopped earlier and not been in contact with the twelve murderous stars, how could there be such a thing?
Now Yang Chenglong is apologizing with death, which is naturally the best ending.
As for his wives and children, with Xiao Feng's temperament, he will not be held accountable, but his decline cannot be avoided after all, after all, no one can avoid those things.
Just as he was about to leave, he saw Yang Chenglong's wife come out of the house with a box in her hand.
"Mrs. Yang, what are you?"
Xiao Jingmao was a little surprised and opened his mouth to ask.
Mrs. Yang replied: "This item is a personal collection of my husband, and it has always been forbidden for others to touch it. Now that my husband is dead, he has already commanded me to give it to you if I die. Looking at his appearance, he must have an understanding of what his husband did, otherwise he wouldn't be so calm.
"I see. ”
Xiao Jingmao took the box, and his heart was full of doubts, he didn't know what Yang Chenglong did it for, but since it was Yang Chenglong's request, he had to accept it.
After bidding farewell to Mrs. Yang, Xiao Jingmao returned to the Prime Minister's Office.
This prime minister's palace is not spacious, at least compared to the Southern Dynasty Palace, and Xiao Feng is not interested in going to Daxing Palace or anything like that, so this prime minister's palace has always maintained its original appearance.
Now that he has changed his identity and is here, Xiao Jingmao feels a little proud, and then he opened the box given by Yang Chenglong, and saw a stack of envelopes inside, he opened these envelopes and opened them carefully, and his face turned black instantly after reading it.
"It's really infuriating that those guys are planning these things behind their backs. ”
couldn't help the impulse in his heart, Xiao Jingmao immediately gathered Zhang Wei and Wang Mu, and then handed the envelopes to the two of them, so that they could see them clearly.
"Are all what is written on these envelopes true?" After reading it, Wang Mu stared at Xiao Jingmao with a serious face.
It's no wonder that she has this doubt, after all, Yang Chenglong has done something to harm the army, she really doesn't think that what this person left behind is true, maybe it is just a poisonous plan to disrupt Chang'an.
Xiao Jingmao closed his head and replied, "It should be true." He still has a lot of trust in Yang Chenglong's character.
"If that's the case, then we need to move quickly. Otherwise, it will be terrible when they make a move. After all, now that the battle is at a critical time, if the lord has any accidents because of this, it will not be good. Wang Mu said.
"It's nature. After all, this is something that we are fortunate to have built with great difficulty, how can we allow those guys to destroy it?" Zhang Wei said categorically, if he hadn't seen these letters, he really couldn't believe that those guys dared to do these things.
