I Xiaoxiong

Chapter 341
Inside the Jiedu Mansion, it was still heavily armored.

The brothers of the Du family followed Zhao Yuanqi into the Jiefu, and were told that Jieshuai was having lunch, and looking at the sun outside, it was noon, isn't it time for lunch?
So Zhao Yuanqi brought the Du family brothers to the signing room of the East Courtyard to wait. The soldiers ordered people to prepare some tea and cakes, and they worked non-stop all morning. Naturally, he was a little hungry, but what did the Du brothers know? Eat and drink?
Zhao Yuanqi also knew that it was useless to comfort him at this time, so he drank tea and ate some pastries on his own.

On the other side of the backyard, Mr. Huang, who had rushed back from outside the city, took a sip of Jiannan Dao's shochu with his wine glass, then sighed and said, "I'm still old, otherwise I would have left that hero behind. This time, I cut down a few insignificant little guys."

After finishing speaking, Mr. Huang put down his wine bowl, grabbed a piece of roast chicken, tore off the drumstick and ate it.

But Fu Jinchuan laughed and said: "Hahahaha, when you are old, you still have to admit that you are old, okay, just run away, these people are just rats in the gutter, they can't do anything, don't worry about it superior."

The battle between Huang Zhengong and Zhang Xia can be said to be without any surprises.But reinforcements from both sides arrived almost at the same time.

There were dozens of experts in Red Lotus Dao who were in charge of supporting Zhang Xia. On the other side, Fu Liulang personally led [-] cavalry to chase outside the bamboo forest.

Seeing that the terrain was not suitable for the cavalry to enter the field, he immediately ordered the cavalry to dismount and fight in formation with swords, shields and crossbows.

If the dozens of Red Lotus Dao masters were to fight against others, all of them were masters, but facing the well-trained and well-equipped elite officers and troops, and the number of them was still at an absolute disadvantage, the result was naturally incomparable.

In order to cover Zhang Xia's evacuation, all 37 people from Honglian Road who came to support him were killed in battle. Their deaths also bought Zhang Xia time to escape.

After eating Huang Zhengong's palm and knife, Zhang Xia fled with injuries.

Although it was expected that the assassination would fail, the response from the Jiefu was so quick. Not only did a Grand Master of the first rank personally participate in the pursuit, but the speed of the cavalry's support was even more unexpected.

There are not a few elite players that Hongliandao lost as a result.

Changshi Liu Xianke who was sitting opposite Mr. Huang also expressed his relief, "Mr. Huang is always strong, and it is normal to miss occasionally. Don't worry about it."

On the other hand, Huang Zhengong looked at Liu Xianke while eating and said, "What do I care about, that grandson can't beat me and just ran away. It's just that someone gave him his life to let him run away. Do you think I care?"

Liu Xianke smiled when he heard the words, then shook his head, and asked Fu Jinchuan beside him, "Sanlang, what are you going to do with Mrs. Du?"

After Fu Jinchuan heard Liu Xianke's question, he didn't answer immediately, but picked up a piece of marinated beef and chewed it slowly, before replying after a while: "I haven't thought about it yet, it mainly depends on the involvement of the Du family and Honglian Road." How deep it is depends on whether the Du family is on the right track."

In fact, Fu Jinchuan also probably understood in his heart that the Du family should have been just an oversight, raising a steward from Honglian Road and a few buddies, rather than really participating in the assassination.

But this matter can be big or small.

It's big enough to make the entire Du family ransack their family and exterminate their clan, but it's small enough to make it a trivial matter.

It can be said that now the entire Du family is sticking fish on the board and letting Fu Jinchuan butcher them.

According to Fu Jinchuan's original intention, he didn't want to implicate the innocent and make a big deal of it.

Although he was assassinated, he also died a trusted guard who had followed him for many years, which made Fu Jinchuan very angry at present. In addition to the burning of the archives of the Jiefu a few days ago, the superposition was a skyrocketing anger. According to Du It is not impossible to burn the house down.

But after all, it is a famous family for hundreds of years, and they mobilize the whole body. If the Du family is really punished, no matter whether it is reasonable or legal, no one can pick it out. After all, the evidence is solid. It's already involved in treason.

Even if someone wants to ask for mercy, he has to think about it before speaking.

And it can also receive the huge wealth accumulated by the Du family for hundreds of years, including ten thousand mu of fertile land and a large number of salt wells.

But doing so is undoubtedly not beneficial to the imperial court's desire to maintain the stability of Sichuan.

It is also of no benefit to Fu Jinchuan himself.

The death of the rabbit and the death of the fox hurt its kind, and then the big families in Sichuan, and even the famous families in the world, will be very resistant to Fu Jinchuan.

Because they are not sure that there is a servant or servant in their family who is a hidden stake in the Red Lotus Tao. After all, the Red Lotus traitor is notoriously pervasive.

Maybe some people would like to see the Du family suffer bad luck, but they absolutely don't want to see them so bad luck.

Because they are afraid that the next one will be themselves.

So Fu Jinchuan was a little hesitant to deal with the Du family in this way.

"Sanlang might as well let the Du family go, it's a kindness to exile their whole family now."

Liu Xianke naturally understood why Fu Jinchuan hesitated at the moment, but he didn't want to see Fu Jinchuan kill in a fit of anger.

After hearing this, Fu Jinchuan did not respond immediately, but said: "I understand Mr. Liu's meaning, let's wait and see what the Du family has to do with Honglian Dao."

After eating, Fu Jinchuan took Liulang to the execution room in Jiefu.

On the torture rack, the assassin Sun Er was tied up in five flowers, his body was covered in blood, and it seemed that he had suffered a lot.

A few hours ago, he was scolding Fu Jinchuan in the lobby, but now he really didn't even have the strength to open his eyes.

Those in charge of the torture were all wearing official uniforms, and they were the arresters transferred from the Chengdu Mansion. The surroundings were a few soldiers in charge of prison and supervision, all wearing armor and dare not slack off.

Seeing Fu Jinchuan coming, they all bowed down and bowed down. They didn't expect that Jie Shuai would come to the execution room in person.

Chen Hai, who was originally sitting on the stool, jumped up and saluted Jieshuai.

"How is the interrogation going, what can you explain?"

Chen Haidao: "Back to Lord Hou, the mouth is too strict, and the lower officials have used seven or eight kinds of punishments. They didn't pry it open."

This Chen Hai was wearing a green official robe, in his early forties, with a medium build.He was originally a county lieutenant in Chengdu, and he was proficient in the pursuit of criminal names, so he was transferred to work.

Fu Jinchuan nodded, but he didn't mean to blame. Most of the people in Honglian were bewitched and it was extremely difficult to ask.

Even Huangchengsi and Xiuyiwei, once caught alive, it took a lot of effort to pry their mouths open, and many of them were tortured to death without saying a word.

After all, Sizi is in charge of the Imperial City Department, and he has seen many similar things.

"Someone bring the Du brothers here."

"promise."

A moment later, Zhao Yuanqi brought the Du brothers into the execution room, seeing this posture, the Du brothers were terrified.

"I have seen Hou Ye."

Du Dun could barely keep his balance, and greeted Fu Jinchuan.Du Heng on the side was trembling and speechless.

On weekdays, he is in charge of the rice grain shop at home. If you want to say that he knows all the guys in the shop?But he really knows this one, because this Sun Er was recruited by Li Yi, and he has worked in the shop for several years. He has to go to the shop every month to check the books and business conditions, so he stayed for several years. Man he knows it all.

Unexpectedly, this person turned out to be the red lotus rebel who assassinated Lord Hou, and as the owner of the owner, he naturally couldn't escape the responsibility.

Hearing a plop, Du Heng knelt down on the ground, wept on the ground, trembling and speaking intermittently.

"Bye bye, see Lord Hou, please be enlightened by Lord Hou, this man is a good guy from my rice shop, but my Du family is all kind, and I definitely don't dare to participate in the conspiracy, let alone talk to Honglian. There is a relationship. Where is Hou Ye Hou Ye Mingjian?"

Sun Er, who had been tortured for several hours and couldn't even open his eyelids, after hearing the crying voice, quickly confirmed that it was the voice of Mipu's owner, and then smiled without opening his eyelids: " Hahaha, boss, you treat us well on weekdays, and I won’t hurt you today, Mr. Fu, listen carefully, grandpa wants to kill you, our boss doesn’t know anything, I’m red Lian Dao's righteous man has nothing to do with the master. Tear up. Our master doesn't know anything."

After Du Heng heard this, his face became even more ugly, and he couldn't argue with it.
