Brutal touch

Chapter 15: The tiger-skinned boy is involved in danger and explores the wits of an old friend and a young master

Seeing Nan Jiu committing suicide, each of the Ten Zhes had their own thoughts. After a long time of silence, Nan said, "Now that the winner has been decided, and you are all busy people, why not let's get over it." The Ten Zhes each expressed politeness and left in their carriages. .

Returning to the Fourth Young Master's house, he saw that the Fourth Young Master was spreading out dozens of volumes of files to read. Jian Yi asked, "Isn't the Fourth Young Master going to be a military supervisor? He is so busy with so many important things and has to watch so many old Huang Lis." Well?"

The Fourth Young Master sighed, "Maybe this is a little selfish on my part. I had no power before and I couldn't do anything about it. Now that I have some power, I wonder if I can find out the cause of the third brother's death. But after reading so much information, the only thing I can't find is The only clue is that the third brother died of poisonous magic, and there is no other valuable information."

Jian Yi said, "That's a coincidence. There is a nobleman who is addicted to poison magic. He committed a crime and was caught by the Law Enforcement Hall."

The Fourth Young Master jumped up and said, "Is that nobleman in the military?"

Jian Yi replied, "That's right."

The Fourth Young Master smiled and said, "This is the benefit of having power."

"Sixth brother, I want to interrogate those two nobles who are addicted to poison magic!" In the law enforcement hall, the second and fourth young masters said this almost at the same time. The Sixth Young Master smiled bitterly and said: "Second brother, fourth brother, for a trivial matter like a private fight between nobles, you two have to personally interrogate the prisoner, which makes me very embarrassed. What's more, if three princes are trying this case, how will outsiders see us? ?”

"These two people not only violated the law of the Law Enforcement Palace, they are also members of the Military Palace. They violated the military law. Do you think I should mention it?" The second young master said first.

"If I talk about the poisoning magic that these two people can use, the third brother also died of the poisoning magic at that time. These two people have serious suspicions about the death of the third brother. I wonder if the second brother can let me interrogate them first?" Fourth Young Master said.

"Okay, I'll let you interrogate first. But if these two have violated military law, remember to tell me after the interrogation." After the second young master finished speaking, he left with a smile.

"It's pitiful and ridiculous for people like Second Brother to play tricks." Fourth Young Master said with a smile.

The Sixth Young Master did not respond and just took the Fourth Young Master to the Law Enforcement Palace where the two men were detained. Said: "Fourth brother, these two are the criminals who are fighting privately."

The Fourth Young Master smiled and said, "Do you two know me?"

The two men nodded, and one of them said: "We have broken the law and should be tried in the Law Enforcement Hall. Shouldn't the Sixth Young Master in charge of the Law Enforcement Hall judge us?"

The Fourth Young Master smiled, sat down and said, "I don't think you are stupid either, so I'll ask directly, were you the ones who killed the Third Young Master a few years ago?" The two men looked at each other for a moment, then smiled: " I've heard for a long time that the Fourth Young Master is very intelligent, but he turned out to be a lunatic who talks nonsense during the day. Why, the Fourth Young Master wants to use the two of us to take the blame?" The Fourth Young Master laughed for a while, until he had enough.

He stood up and said to these two people: "Do you think I will get angry and torture you? Your cleverness will expose you faster. I was not so sure at first, but now you two have changed even the entire country after hearing about it. I don’t take the death of the Third Young Master lightly, and the Second Young Master just acted out that superfluous act, so I’m sure that you two are the dead men of the Second Young Master.” The two men’s faces sank and they said: "Is this how the Law Enforcement Hall does things?" Fourth Young Master continued to smile: "It doesn't matter, you just need to tell me where your plan is to lead me, and I will help you finish the play." Fourth Young Master. Seeing that neither of them answered, the young master continued: "If you say it, I will beat you black and blue, and then do what you say, but if you don't say it, I will let you go immediately. My Your patience is limited, you should think about it yourself.”

The two men were silent for a while, and one of them said: "Our headquarters is in Jiangcheng." "Very good, drag them down and give them a beating." The Fourth Young Master waved his hands, and several people quickly dragged these people down. Prepare for torture.

"I would rather be recruited and beaten than let go without being beaten. These two people are really interesting." Sixth Young Master said
  "Is it interesting? With the brain of the second brother, he would think that they were let go without any injuries. What would he think? After all, the punishments that can be used in the Law Enforcement Hall are limited, but the military hall of the second child has many tricks. In contrast to this It's not a bad thing for them to be a little injured. But now that the city lord is in the capital, it saves a lot of energy."

Late at night, the city lord of the city was resting in his residence in the royal capital. Suddenly, his servants announced that the Fourth Young Master was visiting.

The Lord of Jiangcheng hurriedly got up and went out, welcoming the Fourth Young Master into the hall.

The Fourth Young Master said solemnly: "I feel very guilty for visiting you late at night, but when I went back to read the book next time, I suddenly realized that I missed something big. It turns out that the Lord of the City is also a poisonous magician."

After hearing this, the Lord of Jiangcheng didn't feel nervous anymore, and said calmly: "Yes, Xiaguan was indeed a poisonous magician more than ten years ago. Although I have never publicized this matter, I have never hidden it either. Don't worry, it's just that the assassination of the third young master has nothing to do with Xiaguan."

The Fourth Young Master responded: "City Lord, the matter is urgent and I don't want to go around in circles anymore. You just need to tell me the truth. The second son's people have been here." "This" The Lord of Jiangcheng was pondering, and the Fourth Young Master continued: "Don't worry, City Lord. They are embarrassing you because I am in Jiangcheng. As long as you tell me what you know, I will leave Jiangcheng immediately, and they will naturally not embarrass you."

The Lord of Jiangcheng thought for a while and said: "Okay, I used to be a poison magician, and I was the best among them. Poison magic can not only make people create illusions, assist others to perform other magic, but also directly use poison magic. Poison magic is considered a good magic to kill people with low cultivation level. Therefore, after the emergence of Poison magic in Huoguo, there was no shortage of practicing magicians, and Poison magicians also formed their own sect. With the big sect leader, The Grand Master has the supreme authority among the Poison Magicians, and the lower official is the direct disciple of the last Grand Master of the Poison Magicians."

The Fourth Young Master nodded and asked, "Then why did the Poison Magician suddenly disappear?"

The city lord of Jiangcheng continued: "A few days before the assassination of the third young master, the eldest sect leader summoned a few of our direct disciples to meet with a group of people led by the second young master. He handed over some disciples to the second young master and ordered them to follow the second young master's arrangements and meet together. Then he took us to the secret room where the poisonous magicians gathered, and told us that we should hide our identities as poisonous magicians in the future and never expose them. Then... that was the last time I saw my mentor, and what happened after that. There are poisonous magicians who are killed, some commit suicide, and there are poisonous magicians who hide their identities like us. In addition, it is said that the third young master died of poisonous magic, so everyone consciously treats poisonous magicians. I avoided talking about magic and poisonous magicians, so I gradually forgot about poisonous magicians."

"Then, apart from the poisonous magician, what other force is helping him?" The Fourth Young Master asked again.

"At that time, the Second Young Master was also recruiting people everywhere, but there were not many people who were really willing to help the Second Young Master. Although the other magician masters couldn't stand the Second Young Master's face, the ones they sent were all low-ranking people, and There is no one worth mentioning, and the strongest combat power is probably the Poison Magician."

"So, the biggest doubt is actually here." The Fourth Young Master said.

"That's right." City Lord Jiangcheng said.

"If such a group of people went to kill the Third Young Master, the Third Young Master would have absolutely no chance of being killed," the Fourth Young Master said.

"This is also what puzzles me. If the second young master really wanted to mobilize people to kill the third young master at that time, the ability of these people was far from enough. Not to mention whether there was a chance, the second young master would not have taken this risk. Danger." The Lord of Jiangcheng said.

"City Lord, thank you for your hard work. Our group left overnight and said goodbye." The Fourth Young Master stood up and said.

"Fourth Young Master, I should have done my duty as a landlord and entertained you well, but now... I can't keep you, so I can only say that you should take care of yourself." The Lord of Jiangcheng City sighed.

"The city lord doesn't have to blame himself. After all, these things are beyond your control. But what makes me happy is that there is a city lord like you in Hu Kingdom who loves his people like a son." The Fourth Young Master smiled.

"Fourth Young Master, please don't say that. On the contrary, it will make me feel better if Fourth Young Master scolds me a few words." said the Lord of Jiangcheng City.

"Perhaps I can restore the country to a clear and bright era?" The Fourth Young Master thought he was talking to the Lord of Jiangcheng, but also seemed to be talking to himself. After leaving these words, the Fourth Young Master put on his black robe again and walked out. go.

The barbaric border was reached, and the Fifth Young Master accepted Ruji's invitation to discuss top-secret matters, and specifically ordered his close associates not to listen. The Fifth Young Master specially chose a dilapidated carriage to avoid detection. Hei Er was the only one to drive the carriage, and no one else was with him. After entering the wooden house, even Hei Er could only stand guard outside the door.

The Fifth Young Master entered the wooden house, and Ru Ji looked at him with a half-smile. The Fifth Young Master did not look at her directly, but just said: "You called me here in a hurry, and told me that you can't bring any of your close friends. What is the important matter?" ." Ruji said coldly: "Kill one person, or maybe a group of people. If one person escapes to Huguo, kill him, and the people he comes into contact with in Huguo will also be killed."

The Fifth Young Master studied Ru Ji's words carefully, thought for a moment and said, "Everyone you come into contact with in Hu Country must also be killed. In other words, people in Hu Country must be killed. You know, this is very expensive." "There is no reward." ." Ruji replied. "Are you entertaining me?" The fifth young master was about to get angry, but Ru Ji took out a crossbow and shot an arrow at the fifth young master. The crossbow arrows flew towards the Fifth Young Master, but in the end they could not break through the Fifth Young Master's body-protecting skills. The Fifth Young Master was shocked. Although the power of the crossbow arrows was insignificant to the Fifth Young Master, the Fifth Young Master truly felt a power that could ignore the conflict between the two countries. Restriction, this touched the deepest fear of the whole country. The fifth master still pretended to be calm and asked seriously: "Ruji, what do you mean?" Ruji did not answer directly, but asked: "Fifth master, listen Did you say that Big Mite preached?”

"That's nonsense." The Fifth Young Master said impatiently. Ruji ignored the fifth master's emotions and continued: "In ancient times, when people drilled wood to make fire and tied ropes to remember things, some people were able to use this power. However, most people were inhuman and were not able to master such power. Of course, this power We were very weak at the beginning. We could barely increase our physical strength and let the wounds heal faster. We were helpless against bows, arrows, stone axes. Seeing that people like us were about to be killed, luckily we learned the magic from the great mite. It has changed so much that in the face of non-human beings, it has the power to suppress it, which is why we have today's situation. It sounds incredible at first, and there are too many things that we can't understand. Until someone in the barbarian country came up with this thing a few days ago, non-human beings are not alone. The moon can be used freely, and the power of an arrow can make people who have practiced Kung Fu for less than three years unable to protect their bodies. There may not be one person among hundreds and thousands of people who can use it. Although the descendants of the user will definitely be able to use it, but the barbaric contact between the two countries After so many years, there are only three hundred non-humans against one user. What will happen if these non-humans all pick up this kind of crossbow? What will happen if something more powerful comes out? The fifth master has always been smart, whether he does it or not The Fifth Young Master will make his own decision."

The fifth young master was silent for a long time and said, "I know what you mean. Let's wait for the news." After saying that, he got up and left the house. Hei Er was waiting outside the door, escorting the fifth young master into the carriage. The fifth young master said to Hei Er: "Hei Er Second, I'll leave the grain and coal trade with the barbarian country to you for the time being, I have more important tasks here." Hei Er was shocked, but he instantly regained his composure, answered yes, and didn't ask any more questions.

Let's talk about the Prime Minister's Mansion. Bu Ji first transferred the excess food from several cities near the royal capital, and then went to the Prime Minister's Mansion to talk to Nan Buwen about the situation along the way and the details of the food allocation. Nan Yi was often assigned to other matters by Nan Buwen and was not in the Prime Minister's Mansion. Only Nan Yi accompanied Nan Buwen first. Nan Yixian, who was on the other side of Nan Buwen, became a little impatient when he listened, and interrupted: "Brother Buji, can you do something? Japonica rice is for human consumption. Is there any rule about using it to relieve people's famine? ?" "First of all, shut up. The most important thing right now is not to miss the next year's livelihood of the country due to lack of food. Japonica rice will be Japonica rice. Buji, it is really difficult to deal with several city lords near the King's capital. This time you You did a good job. These grains are enough for half a month. If you save the distribution, there is still a gap of three months. What are you going to do?" Buji said: "Teacher, don't worry, the student has already made a plan. The area around Baiyun Peak in the south is a country that is under threat. There are dozens of large and small granaries behind the baggage of the battle with the barbarians in the south. Huguo stores military rations there every year, let alone ten years of food. The students made a trip to transfer half of the rations and this year the disaster will be over." Buji finished. , before Nan Buwen had time to speak, Nan Yi rushed to shout: "No, this is absolutely not possible! That... that is military rations, no, no, there has never been such a rule against the country." "In the past, it was not up to you whether it was okay or not! It's all up to you, Buji, go and run. Once this matter is solved, there is still a lot of coal matters to solve. There are still a lot of things." Buji said a few more words to comfort Nan Qixian, and then entrusted him to take good care of her. Nan Buwen just left.

In the middle of the night, Nan Buwen suddenly woke up. He opened the door and saw a servant who was lighting up the lamp. Although he was of low rank, he was still a nobleman who specialized in serving people in the country of Hu. Because Bai Min had lost his mind and was a little more subtle. They can't do any work at all, so there is a special group of people in the country. When the servant saw Nan Buwen push the door open and come out, he hurriedly said: "Master Xiangguo, where are you going so late?" Nan Buwen glanced at him and asked: "Oh? What's your name?" He hurriedly replied: "Master Xiangguo, the villain's name is Sanfu." "Sanfu, just in time, you come with me for a walk." After saying that, Nan Buwen did not know what means he used to take Sanfu to the granary on the outskirts of the city in the blink of an eye. , when Nan Yixian and twenty or thirty people were exchanging sand for the rice brought by Buji, Nan Yixian turned around and saw Nan Buwen, and said hurriedly: "Don't be too rigid about this. , what does Bai Min know? In this situation, food prices are going to skyrocket in the blink of an eye. As you said, we have to build a fortune for ourselves. We can't let me beg for food in the future." Nan Buwen said angrily: "Begging for food. You did it too." After saying this, Nan Yixian fell to his knees in pain. Nan Buwen said to the twenty or thirty people: "No one can tell what happened today, do you understand?" The twenty or thirty people all laughed and said, "What did the Prime Minister say? Even if the Prime Minister doesn't tell us, we should still That’s what it does.”
