Water Margin set the country

Chapter 32 The real boss behind the scenes

This battle plan was all arranged by Chao Qing.Lu Zhishen originally wanted to lead his troops straight to the Longma Camp and sweep them all at once, but Chao Qing felt that this would cause too many casualties, so he put forward his own suggestion to divide the enemy army, surround the points for reinforcements, and concentrate superior forces to defeat them one by one. .After thinking deeply, Lu Zhi felt that Chao Qing's plan was better, so he agreed.

After the brief celebration banquet, there is an important liquidation work.

Lu Zhishen has searched the Longma Camp thoroughly and found countless silver taels.Of course, there were hundreds of captive women who were transferred from Yuanbi Village by Tang Meng, and they hadn't had time to act.

So everyone first brought Tang Meng up for interrogation.

"A group of grassroots dare to use force against your grandpa. If you want to live, let grandpa go now, otherwise you won't be able to eat!" Before Tang Meng appeared, he heard his loud voice far away. came.

Yang Lin was not polite, and scolded back: "Zhi Niang thief, you dare to speak hard when you are about to die, you are talking about it, why do you make us unable to eat?"

"You attacked my Longma camp. How can the prefect of Murong allow you to act wildly like this? I don't see a day when an army will be raised to wipe you out, so you're going to be rampant now." Thinking of the court soldiers and horses destroying Erlongshan, Tang Meng felt relieved .

Chao Qing said: "That's not something you should consider. You are a prisoner now, and it's hard to say whether you will survive today! I think you should consider how to confess, so that you can get your life back."

Lu Zhishen asked: "What are you trying to do with so many women being kidnapped? Where did you get them in the end?"

Tang Meng laughed loudly, and said, "Don't you Erlongshan all call heroes, why? So much mobilization, and in the end, it turned out to be for these women to ask for an explanation. This is really a hero and a beauty!" His words were sarcasm .

Chao Qing was speechless for a while. It really is what a person is like in his heart and what he sees in the world. In the eyes of people like Tang Meng, he neither treats women as equals, nor understands Chao Qing, Lu Zhishen, etc. Man's actions are chivalrous.

"Xia Chong can't talk to Bing, do you guys know what it means to draw your sword to help when the road is injustice?" Chao Qing didn't bother to argue, this kind of person has nothing to say to him.

Everyone just continued to ask about the final whereabouts of those women.This Tang Meng was also stubborn, he didn't reveal any useful information, he just kept yelling, how ugly it was.

After the trial, even someone like Chao Qing who was firmly opposed to extorting confessions by torture began to agree with the torture of Tang Meng.

Although this Tang Meng was a scumbag, he was really tough in this regard, and he didn't say a word after being beaten to pieces.It's not that he is unyielding, it's just that he simply hates Chao Qing and the others and doesn't want to give in to them.

Lu Zhishen also admired this, so he asked his servants to stop.

"It's a man!"

Seeing that they couldn't find anything to ask, everyone could only take him into custody temporarily.

Chao Qing said: "It seems that we can only get the information we want from Tang Tianzhu."

Yang Lin said worriedly: "I'm afraid that Tang Tianzhu will also keep silent."

Chao Qing said: "I heard from the soldiers of the Longma Camp that this Tang Tianzhu is very partial to his only son, maybe we can use this to open up a breakthrough."

So Yang Lin asked Tang Tianzhu to be brought up. At first, Tang Tianzhu was just like his son. He had a stubborn mouth. Can inherit the excellent skills of his father.

Chao Qing suddenly roared angrily: "That's enough, Tang, I'll ask you one last time. If you don't ask, I'll cut off your son first, and then chop off your head."

As soon as Tang Meng was mentioned, Tang Tianzhu was really anxious.

Yang Lin on the side observed his words and took the opportunity to say: "We are all grassroots bandits who kill and set fire without blinking. It is common for us to kill people. But I haven't killed court officials yet, so I want to try something new today!" He deliberately exposed the big knife and polished it with a whetstone.

Chao Qing said: "Since Tang Zhizhai doesn't speak, it means that he acquiesces. Brother Yang, then Tang Meng's head will be handed over to you."

"Okay!" Yang Lin looked excited, and walked out with a knife in his hand.

When Tang Tianzhu saw that they were coming for real, he was the only son, and the Tang family was counting on him to pass on the incense, so he immediately expressed his softness, and only wanted to save Tang Meng's life.

Chao Qing asked: "Then you quickly recruited from the truth, where did these kidnapped women go in the end?"

Tang Tianzhu said dejectedly: "These women are divided into A, B, and C by us according to their appearance. The A class is bought by officials everywhere to be concubines and concubines. The B class is sold to We captured more than [-]% of the prostitutes in the Lichunfang of Qingzhou City in the Yihong Courtyard. As for the prostitutes of Class C, they are all unattractive, and they are sold to noble families everywhere as slaves."

Lu Zhishen scolded angrily: "Officer dog, with your royal salary, you don't want to protect the country and the people, and you actually do such a wicked thing. If I don't kill you today, the Buddha will not allow me."

Tang Tianzhu begged for mercy: "I just beg to spare the dog's life!"

Chao Qing said with a smile: "It's a good idea, you two have done all kinds of evil things, and you still want to live?"

"Great kings, you are heroes of the world, you must speak morally!"

"You do not deserve!"

Tang Tianzhu pleaded: "The villain is only following orders, and he is forced to do nothing."

When Chao Qing heard this, he meant that someone behind Tang Tianzhu was in charge.

"Then tell me who is the master behind you?"

Tang Tianzhu struggled for a while, seemed to be considering whether to confess, and finally said cruelly, "Actually, the prefect of Murong ordered me to do this."

Everyone was shocked, why did Murong Yanda get involved in this matter!
Tang Tianzhu explained: "It all started with Chen Xizhen. At that time, this guy had a close relationship with Gao Qi, but somehow, the two fell out, and Chen Xizhen was forced to become a bandit in Yuanbi Village. At that time, Murong The magistrate has just come to Qingzhou because of his loss of power in the court.

This fellow Chen Xizhen wanted to recruit An to become an official, so he went to the prefect Murong. The prefect Murong was greedy for money, and the two took what they needed.The two joined hands to create this underground industry.

Apart from this business, Chen Xizhen's guy is doing all the buying and selling of cars, boats, shops, feet, teeth, gambling houses, private salt, etc. in Qingzhou.With the support of prefect Murong, his business will be unimpeded.

The reason why the villain was sent to Longma Camp by the prefect of Murong was to cooperate with Chen Xizhen and sell these women.The villain is in the officialdom, and he can't help himself! "

After hearing this, Chao Qing gasped, although the weather outside was extremely hot, he only felt a chill down his back.
