Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

Lin Yuan ordered people to return Yutai's guns to Shenji Camp, and sent those discarded guns to the Ministry of Punishment as evidence of crimes.

Sun Yuwen's arrest operation also went smoothly, and Long Wu was arrested very quickly. When Sun Yuwen arrested him, he did not explain the reason for arresting him. It was not the first time that Long Wu dealt with the government, so he thought he would do more. Some money will do the trick, so there is no panic at all.

Sun Yuwen escorted Long Wu back to the yamen of the Ministry of Justice, only to find that Lin Yuan was already waiting for him in the yamen, Lin Yuan smiled and said: "Master Sun is really exhausted these days, why not let me do the interrogation. "

Sun Yuwen already trusted Lin Yuan very much at this time, so he readily agreed. Lin Yuan found that Long Wu was not detained in an interrogation room full of torture instruments, but was locked in an empty room. Lin Yuan He called his jailer and said, "Put him in the interrogation room."

The jailers looked distressed, but Long Wu stood up easily, cupped his hands at Lin Yuan, and said with a smile: "Don't make it difficult for the younger generations, the old man will go with you."

Long Wu walked to the interrogation room, where charcoal fire was burning, all kinds of blood-stained instruments of torture were hung on the wall, and a cross-shaped wooden frame stood in the middle of the floor. Long Wu walked to the front of the wooden frame, stretched his arms, leaned On the wooden frame, he smiled and said, "Do you want to tie the old man up?"

Lin Yuan waved his hands to let the guards go out, and asked, "Don't you know what crime you have committed?"

Long Wu smiled and said, "What crime can I commit?"

Lin Yuan said: "Conspiracy and treason, have you heard of this crime?"

Long Wu laughed loudly, and said, "Lord Lin, I'm a commoner, where did I plot rebellion?"

Lin Yuan said: "We found [-] rifles in the warehouse at your dock. You are an ordinary person, what do you want [-] rifles for?"

Long Wu was taken aback, and thought: "Two thousand rifles? What's going on? If guns are brought in secretly, what excuses can you use to justify it? If a few guns are reasonable, but two thousand guns, outsider It seems that there is only one explanation, and that is: armed forces, rebellion!"

Although Long Wu has experienced countless storms, but he felt that this time was a real crisis, he suppressed his panic, smiled faintly, and said: "If you want to commit crimes, there is no reason to worry about it. You will accuse me of these crimes." of."

Lin Yuan said in a low voice: "If you answer my following questions truthfully, I may consider letting you go."

Long Wu asked, "What's the problem?"

Lin Yuan asked: "First: Who asked you to send people to Zhang Jian's cotton mill to make trouble? Second, where did the opium you sell come from?"

Long Wu spread his hands and said, "I don't know." However, Lin Yuan could tell from his expression that he was already getting scared.

Lin Yuan sneered and said: "Do you think your backer dares to come out to protect you? Who doesn't hide far away when it comes to conspiracy and rebellion?"

Long Wu looked flustered, and he said, "Finding a gun from my warehouse doesn't mean I'm a rebel. What if my subordinates sneak around behind my back?"

Lin Yuan smiled and said: "Well, I really didn't think of this possibility, it seems that I can only let you go."

Long Wu quickly smiled and said: "Yes, yes, Master Lin, this is all a misunderstanding, when I go out, I will definitely..."

Lin Yuan ignored his words, sat down leisurely on a chair, slapped his nose with his hand, frowned and said, "The smell of this prison is really bad. These jailers must be lazy again. The dead body from the night before must have not been dragged out!"

When Long Wu heard Lin Yuan say this, he was very puzzled. He didn't know what Lin Yuan meant by saying this. Lin Yuan smiled and said, "What should I do if Master Long gets seriously ill in the prison and groans all night?"

Only then did Long Wu understand what Lin Yuan meant. Now that he was in Lin Yuan's hands, Lin Yuan could use any means to kill him at any time!

Long Wu's expression changed drastically, and he said, "My lord, I will cover all the money for you to ship goods at my dock in the future, but I beg your lord to spare me from dying."

Lin Yuan knew that he would have to say anything to ask Long Wu again, and was about to ask again, when someone outside suddenly came in to report: "Lord Lin, Lord Rong Lu heard that you caught the rebellious party, and came to congratulate you."

Lin Yuan asked, "Rong Lu, what is he doing in the Ministry of Punishment?"

The person who reported the incident replied: "The young one doesn't know." Lin Yuan thought to himself: "It must be related to Yutai's matter. Since he came to see me on his own initiative, I will take care of him sooner or later. Start now."

So Lin Yuan came out of the interrogation room and came to the meeting place. When Rong Lu saw Lin Yuan, he cupped his hands and smiled, "I heard that Master Lin has caught a gang of rebels. Congratulations." So Rong Lu said After exchanging warm greetings with Lin Yuan, about half an hour later, Rong Lu said he had something to do, and left.

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "He didn't say anything important. What did he want to do when he saw me? Is it just a polite greeting?"

Lin Yuan bid farewell to Ronglu, returned to the interrogation room, and smiled at Long Wu, "Come on, tell me about my two problems? Who asked you to send people to Zhang Jian's cotton mill to make trouble?"

Long Wu sneered and said: "I don't know!" There was no panic on his face, Lin Yuan thought to himself: "What's going on, why is he not afraid at all once I leave? Could it be that Rong Lu gave him food? Have you reassured? Rong Lu actually dares to intervene in such a matter!"

Lin Yuan called some executioners in, and ordered: "This old guy is really dishonest, you guys give him some tricks!"

Who would have thought that several executioners would look distressed, one hesitantly picked up the whip on the wall, looked at Lin Yuan, then at Long Wu, lingering on the edge of Long Wu, not daring to move too much.

Lin Yuan's expression changed, and just as he was about to speak, the leader of the executioner came forward and whispered in Lin Yuan's ear, "My lord, take a step to speak."

Lin Yuan and the leader went outside, and the leader said in a low voice: "Just now, when the lord left, a mysterious man came, with a black veil covering his face, and his face was hard to see clearly. He told us..."

After the boss finished speaking, he hesitated and stopped. Lin Yuan said anxiously: "What are you talking about! Tell me what you have to say!"

The leader said: "That mysterious person can enter and exit our criminal prison without hindrance. He must be no ordinary person. What's more terrible is: he told everyone's name, who is in the family, where is the family, and ordered , if Long Wu injures a single hair, let our whole family pay with their lives!"

Lin Yuan nodded and thought to himself: "It seems that Rong Lu must be helping him secretly. If it is an ordinary rogue bully, how can he have the ability to enter and leave the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice at will!"

Lin Yuan told the leader, "Then lock up Long Wu first."

Lin Yuan looked at the back of the leader leaving, and thought: "If you want Rong Lu not to take care of this matter, there is only one way, and that is to stab this matter to Emperor Guangxu."

At this moment, Sun Yuwen came over happily and said: "Brother Lin Xian, I just delivered a memorial and reported the arrest of the traitor to the Holy Majesty, the people in the palace sent a letter, and the Holy Majesty has read the memorial Afterwards, Longyan Dayue said that in two days, he would personally come to the lobby of the Ministry of Justice to interrogate this traitor!"

Lin Yuan thought: "It's so good, lest I personally find a way to let Emperor Guangxu know."

What Lin Yuan didn't expect was that Rong Lu was also actively planning to exonerate Long Wu during Emperor Guangxu's personal trial.
