Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 540

This is a very serious question, a question that Zheng Dayong dare not answer.But when the other party mentioned Wu Chi, Zheng Dayong knew that most of what he did was leaked.He wanted to fool the other party, but the pain in his body reminded him that it was better not to do that, otherwise he would only suffer more torture.

"Yes, yes. Millet soaked in corpse water."

what? !

Duguying and Su Shichang were shocked.

The plague really has an inside story!

"Who told you to do it?" Duguying suppressed the shock in her heart and asked.

At this time, Zheng Dayong didn't dare to hide anything, and told Dugu Ying and Su Shichang everything he knew.

It turned out that not long ago he was ordered by Luo Governor Shi Zheng Yuancong to mix dead bodies such as rats and cows to make corpse water, then soaked millet once, and then mixed the millet soaked in corpse water into multiple grains.Through Wu Chi, the guard of the warehouse, he was quietly sent in.

Afterwards, the plague broke out, and he was ordered to return to his hometown in Xingyang.

"Why did Zheng Yuancong do this?"

"The villain doesn't know." Zheng Dayong was afraid that they wouldn't believe him, so he hurriedly added: "The villain really doesn't know about this matter, and the master didn't tell me. Please believe me, I really didn't lie to you this time. I really do not know."

Half an hour later, Zheng Dayong was taken away by men in black.

"Brother Su, what do you think of this matter?"

Su Shichang pondered for a moment, and said: "This matter is no small matter. Governor Shi Zheng Yuancong of Luozhou is Zheng Yuanxuan's younger brother. No matter what, we can't startle the snake without definite evidence. My idea is to meet Luozhou Governor Shi Cen Wenwen in secret first, and then Find a way to reveal Zheng Yuancong's true colors and capture him on the spot."

In fact, the more important thing is that Zheng Yuancong was born in the Zheng family of Xingyang, arresting people without evidence will cause a lot of trouble.

"Okay, let's go back."

Luozhou Governor's Mansion.

Cen Wenwen came out of the study with a tired face, his face was no longer full of high spirits, but full of frustration.

No matter how he thought about it, he couldn't figure it out, there were disaster victims everywhere in the world, why the plague appeared in Luozhou.

How can I be so unlucky.

At this time, the servant came to report.

"Your Majesty, there is a man outside who says he is visiting relatives from Chang'an."

"Visiting relatives?" Cen Wenwen scolded: "You idiot, Luozhou has been closed long ago, how could people from Chang'an come to Luozhou!"

"The villain knows his mistakes, the villain knows his mistakes, so I will drive him away." The servant said, turning around and going to chase him away.

Cen Wenwen suddenly stopped him and asked, "Did he say anything else?"

"By the way, he said his surname is Dugu."

Lonely?

Cen Wenwen's eyes flashed.

The next day.

Cen Wenwen routinely took the manpower to deal with the plague.

"Oh." He sighed three times.

Zheng Yuancong, who was by Cen Wenwen's side, couldn't help persuading him: "The governor doesn't have to worry too much. With His Majesty supporting us, Luozhou will definitely get better again."

"You don't know." Cen Wenwen said slowly: "I came here to lament the hardship of people's livelihood and the ravages of the plague. Secondly, I still lamented the dangers of people's hearts."

"Oh, dare to ask the governor, what do you mean by that?"

Cen Wenwen said: "Last night, a person sneaked into the righteous warehouse and dared to put rotten rat meat in the grain. Afterwards, this person was arrested and interrogated."

At this point, Cen Wenwen suddenly stopped talking.

Zheng Yuancong hurriedly asked, "How did the interrogation go?"

"I won't mention it, I won't mention it." Cen Wenwen waved his hand.

"Inspector, what's going on. This man is so bold. As the governor of Luozhou, I should know the inside story." Zheng Yuancong said righteously.

Cen Wenwen said: "Forget it, since you want to know, then I will tell you. That man is a small official guarding the Yicang, named Wu Chi. He said that he was ordered by the housekeeper of your house to do this thing." .”

"It's impossible!" Zheng Yuancong denied it flatly, "The butler in my house died of the plague, the governor knew about it."

"Isn't it?" Cen Wenwen said, "That's why I don't want to talk about it."

"This person is really shameless!" Zheng Yuancong gritted his teeth and said, "Inspector, why don't you hand over this matter to the subordinate officials, and make sure that the Inspector knows Wu Chi's intentions."

"Okay, okay, okay." Cen Wenwen said happily: "If Zheng Changshi is willing to share my worries, I can also concentrate on controlling the plague. I will trouble Changshi."

"No trouble, this is what a subordinate official should do." Zheng Yuancong cupped his hands.

Soon after, Zheng Yuancong came to the prison where Wu Chi was being held.

He asked the guards to stay, and went into the prison alone to meet Wu Chi.

When he saw Wu Chi, he had already been beaten beyond human form, and his body was covered in wet blood.

"Wu Chi."

"I am." Wu Chi raised his head and looked at Zheng Yuancong, "Duke Zheng, why is it you?"

"I don't know you." Zheng Yuancong said with a sneer, "You intend to murder Luozhou, which is an unforgivable crime. I was ordered to send you to die."

"No, Mr. Zheng, Zheng Dayong asked me to do it. I am innocent."

Zheng Yuancong snorted coldly.

Whether you are innocent or not, no one knows better than me.But alas, I need you now not to be innocent.

Only the mouth of the dead is the most serious.

Seeing that Zheng Yuancong was ready to kill, Wu Chi counter threatened: "I have already told the governor that Zheng Dayong is still alive, and now the governor will definitely lead someone to arrest Zheng Dayong. Don't think about it if I die! "

what!
Zheng Yuancong was furious.

If Zheng Dayong is caught, he will definitely be exposed.

It turned out that Cen Wenwen was hiding some things from himself!
"go to hell!"

At this time, Zheng Yuancong's guards rushed over.

"Chang Shi, someone is here."

"Who?"

"It's the guard next to the governor, who said he wants to interrogate Wu Chi."

"Bastard!" Zheng Yuancong was secretly furious, gave Wu Chi a vicious look, turned around and walked away quickly.

At this time, it was useless for him to kill Wu Chi, and he would even expose himself.Because Zheng Dayong's identity has been leaked, the key now is to control Zheng Dayong.

As long as Cen Wenwen can't find Zheng Dayong, he is safe!
The backyard of the Governor's Mansion.

pat.

The black chess fell.

"This trick is called leading the snake out of the hole." Su Shichang smiled triumphantly.

"Are you so sure that Zheng Yuancong will go to Zheng Dayong?" Duguying asked back.

Su Shichang said slowly: "Believe me, Zheng Yuancong wants to clean up his suspicions. He will not let this Zheng Dayong go. Compared with Wu Chi, Zheng Dayong is the most important person. As long as you kill Zheng Dayong With great use, Zheng Yuancong can make himself invincible."

Dugu Ying said: "So, it depends on Cen Wenwen's ability."

"Don't worry, the pit has been dug. The place is surrounded by Cen Wenwen's people. As long as Zheng Yuancong appears, he will not be able to escape."

"What if Zheng Yuancong doesn't show up?"

"Does it matter?" Su Shichang first asked back, and then explained: "As long as Zheng Yuancong sends someone to arrest Zheng Dayong, then he can't get rid of the suspicion. At that time, there are ways to interrogate Zheng Yuancong to make him admit it."

"It makes sense." Dugu Ying nodded.

Su Shichang continued: "Compared with Zheng Yuancong, I am more worried about His Majesty. If His Majesty knows that the Luozhou plague is caused by human beings, His Majesty will probably be furious."

Duguying snorted and said, "Zheng Yuancong is so bold, other states and counties, at most, are greedy for the disaster relief food of the Mo court. How dare he bring out the plague, how careless is human life, disregarding the court's laws, and destroying humanity."
