Longevity begins with a dog

Chapter 99 Surprise!The army besieged the city!
"This government office is really not as good as the Thousand Households Office."

Xu Chong looked at the panel and shook his head in disgust.

After Duan Yuanming's death, all the people involved in the case lived in the government office and were not allowed to go out at will, even Ge Wanshan was the same.

During the first half of the month of living in the government office, the panel can barely generate 2 spiritual sources, and it takes about 10 days to generate 1 point, which is really much slower than the Thousand Households.

"Such a big matter, it stands to reason that someone should have come to investigate..."

Xu Chong was a little puzzled, but also a little dignified.

As early as more than half a month ago, he had learned from He Tongzhi that the so-called Duan family in the capital was actually the hereditary Duke's family.

The majestic Duke's Mansion lost its outstanding direct descendants inexplicably. They should have arrived earlier. How could there be no movement for so long?

Something is not normal.

But he wasn't too worried.

This time, the only two people who knew there was something wrong with him, Duan Yuanming and the fake Xie Changkong, both died.

Moreover, the last scene Xie Changkong saw before his death was that he was blown away inexplicably.

As for Duan Yuanming's death, he had a sufficient alibi at such a long distance.

Unless the Duan family can make these two corpses speak, no one will suspect him.

The only hidden danger is the secret martial art of picking stars.

But to be honest, the hidden danger is very small.

First of all, he has tried his best to change the expression of that move to reach the stars, which is theoretically unlikely to be recognized.

Secondly, so what if it is recognized?

That level of star-seeking will, on the contrary, further reduce his suspicions.

In short, after all the calculations, Xu Chong still couldn't figure out the possibility of being identified as the murderer.

In comparison, Ge Wanshan is more suspicious.

After all, Duan Yuanming stayed alone with Ge Wanshan before his death.

Fortunately, Ge Wanshan was also smart, and he yelled "Protect your lord" in the first moment, and then he was directly thrown to the ground by a big tree. If it weren't for the bloody clothes of the magic soldiers, he would almost have disappeared.

And for the past half a month, Ge Wanshan has taken the initiative to confine himself to the main hall of the government office, not going anywhere, accepting the supervision of anyone anytime, anywhere, and even handing over the command of the Bloody Guard to He Tongzhi, which can be said to have done enough attitude.

"Now that I think about it, it would be superfluous for me to leave the words "Innocence". If it hurt Ge Wanshan..."

Xu Chong shook his head.

He also didn't expect that the trick of picking stars could cause such a big scene, which far exceeded the upper limit of the strength that 'Duan Wuxie' could theoretically have.

There is no way, the time to leave the words is earlier than that of picking stars, and if you erase them, it will only make more flaws.

Now it's up to you to think about which direction to go.

Just as he was thinking, dense footsteps suddenly appeared outside the house.

"Are you here?"

Xu Chong's eyes froze, and he pushed the door out.

When he came to the front yard of the government office, it was already full of people, all of them stood on their feet and looked out of the gate, with dazed and frightened expressions.

Xu Chong was taller, so he could see outside the gate at a glance.

That's... an iron cavalry!
Dense cavalry!
From the looks of it, it is likely that the entire government office has been surrounded.

He Tongzhi and other yamen officials, together with Ge Wanshan, stood at the front of the crowd, watching the situation outside the door vigilantly.

Soon, a high-quality deerskin blanket rushed into the front yard from outside the government office.

"Master Duan please..."

Bang!
A human voice just rang out outside the courtyard, and was violently interrupted before he could finish speaking.

Immediately afterwards, a strong man in full armor flew in and fell to the ground.

A middle-aged man with slightly dark skin and a fat belly walked in, squatted down in front of the strong man, and patted the helmet of the strong man, "What did you call me? Mr. Duan? Forget what I told you ?”

Bang!Bang!Bang!
The strong man's expression was hidden under the visor, without saying a word, he just let the middle-aged man slap him.

Everyone was shocked by this extremely arrogant scene, breathless.

As the current highest official of the government office, He Tongzhi stepped forward and clasped his fists: "May I ask you, are you the eldest son of Cheng Guogong, Duan Yuanyang, Duan Gongzi?"

Bang!
Another kick.

He Tongzhi was also kicked out and crashed into the crowd.

"Listen, I only say this once."

Duan Yuanyang straightened his clothes, and raised the corners of his mouth, "Don't call me son, eldest son, call me Shizi, call me Xiaoguogong, do you understand?"

The armored man got up silently and stood behind Duan Yuanyang.

The crowd fell silent.

Only Ge Wanshan was able to bend and stretch, and stepped forward with a smile: "It turns out that the little prince is face to face. Ge Wanshan, a thousand households dressed in blood, has met the little prince."

Duan Yuanyang glanced at Ge Wanshan with satisfaction, "It's interesting, if there is no such incident, I can give you a chance to be my dog, but unfortunately..."

As soon as these words came out, no matter how good-tempered Ge Wanshan was, he couldn't help but stiffen his expression, and his heart suddenly became murderous.

Warriors have extremely strong self-esteem. Under normal circumstances, even high-ranking warriors will deliberately humiliate a warrior.

As the eldest son of Duke Cheng, it should be easier than others to understand this.

How did it happen to Duan Yuanyang, but it was the opposite?
Ge Wanshan endured his aggrieved heart and asked, "What's the pity?"

"Unfortunately, my Duan family's direct descendants are dead."

Duan Yuanyang's chin almost went up to the sky, "Do you know what this concept is? The direct descendant of my Duan family died here, even if this city is slaughtered, it will not be enough!"

As soon as the words fell, everyone's faces turned ugly.

Xu Chong was speechless for a while.

This section of Yuanyang is far too different from Duan Yuanming's rank, isn't it?

The whole thing is just the stupid son of a landlord.

Also massacred the city...

Does Cheng Guogong dare to say this by himself?
"However, this son's heart is relatively kind, so let's just massacre the city, it will hurt the peace of heaven."

Duan Yuanyang smiled, and without waiting for everyone to breathe a sigh of relief, he immediately changed the subject: "However, all the subordinates of the government office and those who were in the government office on the day of the incident must obediently follow me back to Beijing for interrogation!"

Everyone has to be arrested and brought back for interrogation?

This is a bit too much...

He Tongzhi struggled to get his colleagues to come forward, "Duan Shizi, all the evidence, details, and the history of the case have been reported to the court by the subordinate officials. Even if it is an interrogation, the prince should first collect the testimony of witnesses, find clues from the scene of the crime, and then confirm it." Suspicion scope?"

This time he stepped forward, so that many officials in the crowd had the courage to follow suit.

"That's right, my son, there are thousands of subordinates in the government office. If they are caught empty, wouldn't the affairs of the government office be abandoned?"

"Besides, the real murderer is probably not in Zhang Hua long ago..."

"What's more, it is very likely that Wei Wuxie, the son of the thousand-faced Daoist, did this matter..."

More and more people spoke up, wanting to dissuade Duan Yuanyang.

"To shut up!"

Duan Yuanyang shouted coldly, "Have you written down the people who spoke just now?"

"Write it down."

The armored man responded in a deep voice.

"Okay, let's start the interrogation with them when we go back."

Duan Yuanyang's eyes were extremely gloomy, "Of course, you can also choose to escape, and try to see if you can escape from this city."

"What do you mean?"

Ge Wanshan, who had been silent all this time, changed his face when he heard the words.

"Do you think this son will bring such a few people?"

Duan Yuanyang pointed behind him, shook his head and said, "No, no, the Duan family's direct descendant died for no reason, and the entire Chisong army has come."

No way, he couldn't directly deny that the murderer was Wei Wuxie.

Because to deny Wei Wuxie, one must produce evidence that Duan Wuxie is Wei Wuxie and has died.

And this matter, even Cheng Guogong's mansion can't bring it to the table.

The direct line joins Taipingdao?
Is it possible that the entire Duan family also joined Taipingdao?
Therefore, the safest way is to bring back as many suspects as possible.

This point was decided by Mr. Cheng Guogong.

The method of reporting the murderer is indeed like an existence above and above Tongmai.

And how could such an existence happen to appear in Fucheng and take advantage of Duan Yuanming's opportunity to break through the roof?

At least at that time, there must have been a party in the government office!
That being the case, then don't care about the big or small suspicions, just arrest everyone.

Fortunately, in the report, all the personnel who were in the government office at that time were marked in great detail. As long as the thunder suddenly struck and caught these people by surprise, they could prevent them from escaping to the greatest extent.

Then take everyone back, and slowly find the accomplices who naturally found the murderer.

And this is exactly the condition Cheng Guogong gave Duan Yuanyang.

"Okay, let's stop here."

Duan Yuanyang clapped his hands, and said humanely to the armor beside him: "Anyone who doesn't cooperate will be taken directly by the army, no matter who he is, what his identity is, what background he is, understand?"

"clear."

A man in armor cherishes words like gold.

Rumble.

Heavily armed soldiers filed in, armored and armed with guns, ready to fight.

The armored man began to roll the roll.

Every time one is counted, the colleagues around that person will all retreat. Whether the person is willing or not, they will be surrounded by soldiers, put on shackles, and forced to go out.

If you struggle, forget it, at most you will be beaten.

But if he resisted, the armored man Thunder shot, directly seriously injured, and then he was also taken away by the shackles.

Xu Chong could see clearly that the shackles and shackles were the same as those used to imprison Jiang Zhihong and Xie Changkong.

As long as warriors are handcuffed like that, life and death will be in their hands.

Xu Chong felt cold in his heart, and quietly touched Ge Wanshan's side, and said in a low voice: "My lord, these people are too unscrupulous, right? Is the court just letting it go?"

"I'm afraid it's not letting him go. It's a compromise made by Cheng Guogong who lost his son in old age, and the officials were afraid that he would go crazy."

Ge Wanshan's face was gloomy, and he also said in a low voice, "Anyway, there are many idle officials in the accompanying capital, so it's easy to add a government office."

"Then...then didn't we suffer an indiscriminate disaster?"

Xu Chong gritted his teeth and said, "My lord, you are greedy, and you can escape, but your subordinates haven't even practiced Shadow Step."

"It's useless to practice greedy light."

Ge Wanshan shook his head, "The Chisong army is the Beijing army, which is different from the local army station. I guess they can't get out even if they use greedy light."

"This……"

Xu Chong's heart sank.

"And even if we escape, so what? I'm afraid they will be labeled as traitors immediately, and life would be worse than death. At that time, even if the chief guard wants to stand up for us, it will be inconvenient."

Ge Wanshan's tone was low, with some helplessness, "The best way is to obediently go to the shackles and go to the capital for interrogation..."

Speaking of this, Ge Wanshan was already a little desperate.

If it was just a physical torture method, he would not be afraid at all.

But that is the capital city.

He can guarantee that there is absolutely a way for people to tell the truth and reveal all their secrets.

"Damn!"

Ge Wanshan cursed viciously.

That Duan Wuxie clearly promised himself that he could stop the Duan family from coming... What's the situation now?
Not only did the Duan family come, but even the Chisong Army who stepped on horses drove over.

Go back on what you say?

Talking nonsense?

No matter which one, if there is really no way in the end... don't blame me for dragging you into the water!

Ge Wanshan felt ruthless in his heart.

At the same time, Xu Chong was also full of coldness.

He never expected that the Duan family's actions would be so big that they would wipe out everyone in a sweeping sweep.

This made the things he had prepared, such as the alibi, and the fact that he was a victim, all useless.

Lock into Beijing?

There is no doubt that as long as he goes to the capital, he will no longer be able to control the situation and can only be slaughtered by others.

Those secrets will be dug out one by one.

The strength of a meridian tenfold alone is completely inexplicable to him.

Also, if you get close to the capital, your own strength will riot... This set of Zhengyangjin exercises is also a secret that cannot be revealed at all.

No...cannot be taken into the capital!

Is there any other way?

Xu Chong thought hard.

After thinking about it, there is only one way that may not work.

escape.

Escape from the city with greedy light, contact Sun Yourong as quickly as possible, and participate in the unblocking of Taiping Road before being labeled a traitor and downgraded to a craftsman status.

However, the risk is too great.

Just the certainty of escaping from the city, as Ge Wanshan said, is reduced to the extreme.

What's more, whether the time difference in the later fight is enough for me to participate in the unblocking...

How to do?
Do you want to gamble?

Xu Chong struggled back and forth in his heart.

The roll call continues.

Officials, servants, and clerks who belonged to the government office were taken out one by one.

at last.

"Blood Cloth Guard..."

The armored man looked at the names marked in red on the list.

On this list, only a few names of four or five people are marked red, which means that these people are seriously suspected.

The Duke's instructions are still in my ears: these people must be brought back, and they must be strictly guarded.

And this was the first important suspect he pointed out, so his voice was a bit cold: "General Banner, Xu Chong!"

"..."

Xu Chong narrowed his eyes.

He could hear that when the man in armor pointed to him, his tone changed significantly.

I am being seriously suspected...

At this moment, Xu Chong made a decision.

However, just when he was about to use Greedy Light, there was an obvious sound of horseshoes kicking and wheels crushing.

Hearing the direction, he was still heading towards the government office.

And... sounds familiar?
familiar?

Xu Chong was taken aback for a moment, then looked up.

From his direction, he could just see the Chisong army waiting outside the government office.

These military disciplines clearly stated that the high-quality soldiers were staggering at this moment.

As if an invisible big hand 'dusted' them out to both sides, a passage was instantly cleared.

A carriage appeared at the end of the passage.

Xu Chong's pupils shrank sharply.

He recognized the carriage!
It was the one that accompanied him for more than a month and a half, used to 'escort' Jiang Zhihong into Beijing, and was finally abandoned by him in Dingtianfu!
