Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 335 Unfamiliar

The interrogation of the assassin leader lasted all night, and it was not until dawn that Ying Shiwu came to report that the prisoner was ready to confess.

When Ying Shiwu came to Huqiu and knocked on the door, Shen Haolin and Shen Cha cuddled up to each other, sleeping soundly.Then look at Xue Ruitian, Jin Jing, and Bai Meng lying on the floor sprawled across the floor. Xue Ruitian's head was resting on Jin Jing's stomach, and his legs were resting on Bai Meng's calf, drooling in sleep.

However, when Ying Shiwu arrived at the door, all of them opened their eyes immediately.

"It's fifteen." Shen Cha rubbed his neck and yawned, "I'll go and open the door."

"Don't go, let Xiaotian go! If the wind blows just after waking up, you will definitely have a headache." Shen Haolin pulled Shen Cha, wrapped her up in a small quilt, and raised his chin towards Xue Ruitian, "Go and open the door, Fifteen came here at this time, probably there is a result."

"Get your legs down!" Bai Meng sat up with difficulty, "Master Hou, you look very thin, why are you so heavy? These two legs are like two iron pillars , I can't breathe."

"That's not right!" Jin Jing stretched her waist, "Put his head on my stomach, it's no different from putting a stone lock."

"You two, as soon as you wake up, you gang up and bully me. The moment you fell asleep is the cutest." Xue Ruitian got up from the ground, walked to the door unsteadily, opened the door, and walked towards the shadow. Fifteen beckoned, "Come in quickly, don't let the cold wind in."

"You guys..." Ying Fifteen sighed softly when he saw the situation in the room, "Is this a makeshift all night? I should have come over earlier to tell you, there is no need to wait."

"Stop talking nonsense." Xue Ruitian drank a cup of herbal tea, "How is it, recruited?"

"He has given up resisting and is ready to recruit. However, Fifth Brother said, you should be willing to hear what he has to say, that's why he asked me to come to you." Ying Fifteen snatched Xue Ruitian from his hand "There are only nine brothers left under him. If he doesn't recruit, he won't even be able to keep the remaining nine."

"Well done, we are going to listen to it in person. By the way..." Shen Cha looked at Ying Shiwu, "Have you told Master and Uncle Yan yet?"

"Boss, don't worry, someone has been sent to deliver the letter. It is estimated that these two old people are ready to go out." Ying Shiwu heard the footsteps outside, opened the door, and asked Mei Lin and Mei Zhu to give the hot water for washing. After bringing it in, he looked at Xue Ruitian and the three of them, "The three of you can move to the guest room, hot water and clean clothes are ready."

"Okay!" Xue Ruitian pulled Bai Meng and Jin Jing up, and said to Shen Haolin and Shen Cha, "I'll see you at the gate of the courtyard later."

Because the interrogation in the dungeon is still waiting for them, everyone washed up much faster than usual, that is, they packed themselves in the time of a cup of tea, met at the gate of Huqiu's courtyard, and followed Ying Fifteen to the dungeon. direction to go.

When they were about to reach the dungeon, they ran into Qin Zheng and Yan Bo who were also rushing to the dungeon. They stopped and saluted them.

"Master, Uncle Yan!" Shen Cha walked in front of Qin Zheng and Uncle Yan, carefully sized them up by the dim light of the lantern, and said dissatisfiedly, "You two haven't slept all night?"

"It's not like I haven't slept, I've been squinting for more than an hour." Yan Bo smiled at Shen Cha, "Okay, don't be upset, you also know that I was responsible for this case with your master, and it has been pending , We also left regrets in our hearts. Now that we finally see hope, we will definitely miss it. It’s understandable that we can’t sleep because we have something on our minds, right?”

"That's right, your looks are the same as ours." Qin Zheng raised his eyebrows, "But, Xiaocha, did you really find it?"

"Yes, Master, I have checked the weight, quantity and imprint of the gold, and it is consistent with the batch lost by Feng's family. Last night, because Yelunan was there, it was inconvenient to bring the gold back, so it has been left in that small courtyard." However, you can rest assured that our Shen Jiajun's Shuangjiu Young Master is in charge of watching, and nothing will go wrong."

"It's good to find it, it's good to find it, and finally there is a result." Qin Zheng and Yan Bo nodded, "Okay, let's go in, we also want to hear what happened to this case back then .”

"Please, two!" Shen Haolin invited the two old men to enter the dungeon first, "Fifteen, go get some big braziers."

"Okay!" Ying Shiwu replied, and ran towards the dining room with Merlin.

"Deputy Marshal, Uncle Yan!" Ying Wu, who was guarding the punishment room, saw everyone coming in, stood up and saluted, "Shall we start now?"

"Wait fifteen, he's going to get the brazier. Xiao Wu, move the stools for everyone and prepare hot tea." Taking the whip from Ying Wu, Shen Cha looked at the dull-faced assassin leader and raised his eyebrows slightly. , and slowly strolled to the front of the remaining nine assassins. These people were scarred and there was no good place on their bodies.She sized it up, turned back to the leader, and sighed softly, "It would have been nice to confess earlier, why bother to make trouble like this?"

"That's right, earlier, your brother can stay a lot." Xue Ruitian also walked over to watch, "Tsk tsk tsk, your stubbornness not only made your brother suffer so much, but also made your brother suffer so much. Letting them die is all your sin. Don’t you, Duan, believe in the Buddha? Do you think that a sinful person like you is worthy of serving in front of the Buddha? Would the Buddha still regard you as his believer? ?”

"Enough! Stop talking! I'll recruit, can I recruit?" The leader sighed heavily, "I..."

"Wait!" Shen Cha waved his hand at him, picked up the previous confession and looked through it, then looked at Ying Shiwu and Mei Lin who came in with several big braziers, "Put two here, and the rest Put them all on the side of the deputy commander-in-chief and Yan Bo."

"Yes!" Mei Lin put the brazier down, put the stove in Shen Cha's hand, and pulled Mei Zhu back out silently.

"Your name is... Duan Xinghu, and the person who sent you the news is... Duan Xinglong..." Shen Cha frowned slightly, "What's the relationship between you two?"

"A half-brother, he is my first brother."

"Oh!" Shen Cha nodded, "What's your relationship with the Duan royal family?"

"It's just relatives from the fifth server." The leader of the assassins... Oh, no, it was Duan Xinghu who smiled bitterly, "There is no other relationship."

"After all, the surname is Duan, and he is also a relative of the emperor. As a relative of the emperor, why not enjoy the blessings in Dali and come to our icy and snowy border?" Seeing Ying Wu coming back, Shen Cha asked, "That Duan Xinglong Where is the person? Have you caught it?"

"No, we were one step too late. When we found him, he was already dead." Ying Wu poured a cup of ginger soup for each of us, and prepared hot snacks thoughtfully, "Not only is the man dead, but all his Everything was burnt to nothing."

"What's the cause of death?" Shen Cha finished drinking the ginger soup, and handed the bowl to Ying Wu, "What do the neighbors around him say?"

"After preliminary inspection by the author, it is suicide." Ying Wu put everyone's bowls together and put them in a small basket, "He lives in a very remote place, no one is there, no matter during the day or at night. Go, so there are no neighbors to speak of."

"It seems that he heard the wind and killed himself in advance." Shen Haolin looked at Duan Xinghu, "Do you think your brother-in-law will commit suicide?"

"I..." Duan Xinglong shook his head, "I'm not familiar with him, so I don't know much about it."

"Unfamiliar?" Shen Cha sneered, "You are brothers, and you actually told me that you are not familiar? Don't you find it ridiculous?"

"General Shen, what I said is true. I really don't know my brother." Duan Xinghu twitched his lips, "It's all over, and I don't need to lie to you. Although we are brothers, we are brothers. A concubine and a concubine are naturally not the same. In our Duan family, a concubine's child is no different from a servant except for a nice name. Otherwise, he is also a spy, and he can hide behind and direct everything. And I'm going to charge for him."

"From this point of view, this kind of grievance really does not distinguish between countries!" Shen Cha looked at Duan Xinghu, "So, among you people, he is the master and you are the assistant. You must obey the orders he gives. Obedience without distinction, is it?"

"Yes."

"Then, is it his intention to assassinate Yelunan this time, or the intention of King Duan?"

"It can be said to be his meaning, or it can be said to be the meaning of King Duan." Duan Xinghu whispered, and continued, "Before we came, King Duan granted him the right to do things cheaply, meaning that if he can provoke Xia, Liao There is no need to ask for instructions at all in the disputes and frictions between Jin, Jin and Jin. This time, Yelunan was not the only one who was assassinated, and people from Liao and Jinbian Pass were also assassinated."

"Oh!" Xue Ruitian sneered, "This Duan Xinglong is really holding a chicken feather as an arrow, does he think Xia, Liao, and Jin are as brainless as him? Can't it be seen that someone deliberately provoked the incident and framed it? He is not afraid of being retaliated by doing this? Can King Duan really bear the anger from the Three Kingdoms? Are you sure that your brother...isn't trying to cheat the Duan family?"

"Master Hou, Duan Xinglong couldn't bear the consequences, so..." Shen Cha looked at Duan Xinghu with a cold face, "he committed suicide out of fear of crime."

"This... this, I don't know either, General Shen, as I said, we are not familiar."

"Anyway, his person is dead, so it doesn't matter if you know him or not." Shen Cha lightly slapped the table in front of him with a whip, "The current case is over, let's talk about the case ten years ago." A case. You stole the batch of gold from the Feng family, right?"

"Yes, we snatched it." Duan Xinghu nodded, "But it wasn't planned, but we decided on the spur of the moment."
