Sima Zhuifeng looked at Ah Que angrily.
Make the decision for you? Recover the fifteen thousand taels of gold
Do you know that among the corpses on the ground, there are men sent by Sima Zhuifeng. Last night, Sima Zhuifeng, the prefect, wanted to take advantage of others!
Listening to Ah Que's cry, Sima Zhuifeng remained silent for a while.
Chu Jie looked at Ah Que with a half-smile, held the tea cup, and glanced at Sima Zhuifeng with a smile.
Chu Jie naturally has 80% to 90% control over the cause and effect of the matter. The Lord Prefect wanted to play a game of blackmail, eliminate a wave of Ling's private soldiers, and make some extra money. As a result, Ling's private soldiers were all wiped out, and two of his closest subordinates sent by the prefect were also killed, along with a large group of elite state soldiers.
This is a confusing account, and the water inside is deep.
If Gong Bailu hadn't died here inexplicably, Chu Jie would be in a better mood and be in a better mood to watch the fun.
Zi Xiaosheng was already laughing from ear to ear. He covered his mouth with both hands, his whole body twitching slightly, trying his best to control himself from laughing out loud. His eyes narrowed into a thin line, and his gaze kept wandering between Chu Jie, Sima Zhuifeng and A Que.
When Aunt Feng saw Zi Xiaosheng almost losing his breath from laughing, she shook her head angrily and helplessly. She quickly walked behind Zi Xiaosheng, gently touched his back with her right hand, and finally helped him to get along. After this breath.
Putting down his hands suddenly, Zi Xiaosheng's eyes widened, his face was slightly distorted and he smiled at Sima Zhuifeng: "Sima Taishou, you must uphold justice for this little brother! Hey, their wives have been robbed. Gone! It’s so pitiful that I don’t have a wife anymore!”
Ah Que raised his head and took a deep look at Zi Xiaosheng with tears streaming down his face: "This young master is right, we fishermen are so miserable. How many years do we have to save our own money before we can save up to fifteen thousand?" A thousand taels of gold?"
"I don't know who the Thousand Knife Killers are. Last night they came to rob them with knives and guns! Fortunately, our stall was wise and we took our brothers and ran away! If we hadn't run so fast, the people here would have You dead ghosts, but we brothers are the only ones here!"
"You can kill people even if you steal money. These guys don't even respect the moral principles of the world!" Aque pointed at the corpse on the ground and said fiercely: "Master Taishou, we must find out who is behind them and recover our gold. ah!"
Thin lips smacked together quickly, and Aque turned over and over to tell everyone the story of how hundreds of burly men blocked the road and robbed them at open fire, and how they fled in a hurry.
In short, according to A Que's story, when the first group of robbers appeared last night, they had already fled. As for what happened next, they didn't know, didn't see it, and had no idea what happened last night.
Sima Zhuifeng took a deep breath and looked at Ah Que with a little annoyance.
Was what happened last night complicated
It's really not complicated.
The Ling family wanted to use the excuse of "robbery and plunder" to kill Chu Tian and his party to vent their anger on Zhou Liuyun, and at the same time take back the gold they used to buy the big carp with golden scales.
Sima Zhuifeng dispatched state soldiers, hoping to wipe out all the Ling family's private army, give Zhou Liuyun a warning, and at the same time give a shock to all the wealthy families in Yazhou, warning them not to collude with Zhou Liuyun.
By the way, Sima Zhuifeng could also make some unexpected small fortune to subsidize the food and drink expenses of his prefecture.
How simple is this
The trouble is that an unknown person has taken action.
A suspected "Tianjun" level master, armed with an unknown force, completely annihilated the Ling family's private army, the state soldiers of Sima Prefect, and the guards sent by more than a dozen wealthy families who were interested in making money.
By the way, this suspected "Tianjun" level master also killed the consecrated Gong Bailu who was sent by the Chu family to find out the news!
The key to this case is to find the "Tianjun" level master, or find his subordinates.
This case is really not complicated. Among the three people sitting around the tea table, two of them understand the cause and effect.
But neither Chu Jie nor Sima Zhuifeng were able or willing to tell the truth they knew.
After pondering for a long time, Sima Zhuifeng gently waved his hand and scolded Aqiao: "This case has been accepted by this prefect. To put it simply, this case is another murder committed by the giant bandits from the three states. Your gold, It was also the group of giant bandits who robbed us."
Ah Que blinked his eyes, looking at Sima Zhuifeng with a hint of fear, a hint of shock, and a hint of disbelief, his face covered with tears. He seemed to have been shocked and frightened by the fact Sima Zhuifeng said!
"I am the prefect of Yazhou, and I have the responsibility to protect the land and bring peace to the people. The giant bandits from the three prefectures in the town dare to invade the territory of Yazhou and commit such a murderous crime. I will definitely not let them go!" Sima Zhuifeng stood up and said With his hands behind his back, he put on an extremely majestic and extremely angry face. An inexplicable aura turned into a heavy pressure, weighing heavily on everyone around him.
Ah Que seemed to be unable to withstand the coercion emanating from Sima Zhuifeng. He fell to the ground with a "pop" and pressed his forehead firmly against the ground: "Where is our gold, Master Taishou?"
Sima Zhuifeng glanced at Aqiao with disgust, like a dragon flying in the sky overlooking a puddle of dog shit on the ground: "When the giant bandits in Zhensan Mountain are wiped out and their stolen goods are confiscated, you guys The stolen gold has its own explanation."
With a wave of his sleeves, a gust of evil wind swept up against the ground, lifted up Ah Que's thin body, and blew him back seven or eight feet away: "It's none of your business here, go back and recuperate! As a witness in the case, you are not allowed to leave the territory of Yizhou until this case is solved, do you understand?"
Ah Que raised his head to say something, but several guards from the Prefect's Mansion hit him with sticks. The beating made Ah Que scream "Ouch" and hurriedly ran away with his head in his hands.
"Ignorant people, they only care about those Xu'a blockades, but they don't know that the giant bandits from the three states have actually invaded Yazhou. This is the really important thing." Sima Zhuifeng sighed with compassion and turned around. She bowed her hands to Chu Jie solemnly: "Young Master Chu, this case requires a lot of cooperation from Young Master Chu."
Chu Jie played with the tea cup in his hand, and after a long time he nodded slowly: "It is related to the death of the palace minister. This is a matter that I, the Chu family, have no obligation to refuse."
On the side, Zi Xiaosheng dexterously played with the big ring on his hand, and asked with a smile: "But, Young Master Chu, Prefect Sima, this case has been clearly committed by the giant bandits from the three states. Why don't you, the prefect, take charge of the army?" How about plowing through the caves and wiping out these tough bandits?"
Chu Jie and Sima Zhuifeng froze at the same time. They looked at each other, then at Zi Xiaosheng, and cursed secretly in their hearts.
Is this Zi Xiaosheng really a fool, or is he deliberately stirring up trouble
In the direction of Yizhou City, a dull sound of hoofbeats suddenly came. A large group of Tingwei Mansion servants wearing black clothes and red cloaks, with gloomy faces, rode towards them under the leadership of Zhou Liuyun.
"Get away!" Zhou Liuyun roared angrily, swung the riding crop in his hand, and the two centurions of the state soldiers who wanted to stop him spun and flew out.
Chu Jie and Sima Zhuifeng's faces suddenly became livid, and they watched helplessly as Zhou Liuyun led a large group of people to rush past in front of them.
Countless smoke and dust flew up, scattered on the tea table, and fell into the tea cup.
Zi Xiaosheng stared blankly at the dust in the tea cup, then suddenly raised his head and shouted with a smile: "Hello, Brother Zhou? Hello? Brother Zhou? Why are you running so fast? Is someone dead?"
