"It's not impossible." Tang Tian'er looked worried, that guy just came to the merchant's bank to get something, and then went to arrest the prefect. Is it really the magic star that I hit.
"I'm worried that the Zhenyuan Chamber of Commerce will be implicated soon." Qian Dong had seen that person come to the Chamber of Commerce to pick up things before, so it was hard not to connect the two sides.
"You said that someone might be behind the scenes?" Tang Tian'er frowned.
"Could it be the Pegasus Chamber of Commerce?" Qian Dong said, "They always wanted to replace us."
"The ten Pegasus Chamber of Commerce can't compare to us, I'm afraid there are people behind them." Tang Tian'er got up and looked out the window, "Zhang Che, the owner of the Pegasus Chamber of Commerce, did you find out his origin?"
Qian Dong and the others shook their heads: "This person has a mysterious background and a high level of cultivation. We haven't found any definite evidence. However, after analyzing the past, we suspect that he may have something to do with the Demon Sect."
"Magic sect?" Tang Tian'er snorted, "These guys can't do anything else, but they are first-class for sabotage. Send someone to watch the demon sect's sub-rudder in Yunzhong County, and come back to report if there is any change."
"Yes!" Qian Dong hurried away.
Then Tang Tian'er assigned tasks to several other shopkeepers. Seeing that they were so worried, she couldn't help showing the sweet smile of the past: "Don't worry, everyone, the Zhenyuan Chamber of Commerce has not experienced any storms and waves for hundreds of years. What does it count."
The shopkeepers also laughed: "What the eldest lady said is that we are the only ones who provoke others, and no one else provokes us. If this incident doesn't involve us, that's all. If we want to frame things, we're not good. bullied."
Tang Tian'er nodded with a smile, waved them back to their respective positions, and then sat alone in the room, lost in thought.
…
On the other hand, Sang Hong took Zuo Su and the others back to the hotel and detained them, and then personally interrogated him about smuggling.
Zuo Su of course denied it, saying that he was framed.
They are all old foxes in the officialdom, and naturally know how to deal with these interrogation techniques.
After half a day of trial, nothing useful came out.
Sang Hong could only suspend the interrogation and went outside the cell to discuss with Zaan.
"Does my uncle think he's innocent?" Zaan asked.
Sang Hong looked gloomy and shook his head.
Zuan was shocked: "Have the trial come out?"
"That's not true," Sang Hong replied, "this guy is very cunning, and he didn't reveal any flaws. Unfortunately, this is the biggest flaw. If he is really innocent, he will definitely work with me to investigate who the real culprit is. , instead of talking about other things like now, and talking about something meaningless."
Zaan Huo Ran raised his respect: "Uncle really has a burning eye, and he saw through him so quickly."
"Stop flattering, now the trouble is big." Sang Hong smiled bitterly, "I had a glimmer of hope before, Zuo Su was framed by someone, so the court still has people available here. But now even he has The problem proves that the entire officialdom in the cloud is already rotten to the core."
"We're all alone now."
He couldn't help being so pessimistic. This time, he only brought a few hundred Yulin Lang over. Although it was a considerable force, it was still vulnerable to the real army.
Originally, I thought of uniting the troops of the county governor's office to check and balance the governor's office, but now the county governor's office is not credible.
"Wait until Gao Ying Pei You and the others capture the others. Those people don't have the calm skills of Zuo Su. As long as someone opens their mouths, everything will be solved." Zuan comforted.
Zuo Su has a special status and cannot use punishment, but other people have no such restrictions. The embroidered messenger is best at making people speak.
As long as the evidence is confirmed, Zuo Su can be dealt with justifiably, and then take the opportunity to take back the military power of the prefect's mansion, so no one can say anything.
"I hope so," Sang Hong also knew that this was the best outcome, but soon frowned slightly, "Why haven't they come back yet?"
At this moment, there was a commotion outside, and someone soon came to report: "Master Gao and Master Pei are back."
Sang Hong and Zu An hurriedly came outside, and when they saw the dejected two, they couldn't help being shocked: "Where's the person?"
The two did not bring back the suspect food as they had imagined, but instead brought many stretchers, which were covered with white cloth.
Gao Ying Pei You explained with a sad face: "We searched according to the list and found that those people either got the news in advance and ran away, or committed suicide in the room, and the last survivor was not caught."
"Quiet!" Zuan and Sang Hong looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes.
But it doesn't make sense, knowing that they acted so quickly this time, why can anyone be faster than them
The people hiding behind the scenes are a bit too magical.
Just when a few people were in a stormy sea, heavy footsteps suddenly came from outside.
"what sound?"
Several people suddenly turned around.
At this time, a guard rushed in in a hurry: "Report, county lieutenant Dong Jin came with a brigade of soldiers and horses!"
"What!" A group of people were suddenly shocked.
Sang Hong snorted coldly: "What a guts!"
After speaking, he walked out with a sullen face, Gao Ying and Pei You hurriedly followed, and Zu An waved his hand to let Yu Lin Lang get ready.
A group of people came to the door and found that the entire hotel was surrounded by people.
"Dong Jin, you are so courageous!" Sang Hong stared gloomily at the leader, "Are you trying to rebel?"
Dong Jin is tall and burly, and everyone met at the welcome party before, but at that time his official position was relatively low, and he did not live in the main seat.
"Don't dare!" Dong Jin cupped his hands, "We are just here to ask for an explanation. Master Zuo has been conscientious and dedicated in Yunzhong County these years, always thinking of the court. As a result, you arrested him today on an unwarranted charge, and forced him to A large number of officials of the county government have died, can the imperial envoy be so reckless?"
Sang Hong said indifferently: "As an imperial envoy, I naturally act on behalf of heaven and have the right to deal with local officials, so why should I explain it to you?"
"On the contrary, it's you. I just caught someone with my front foot, and you brought troops to kill with my back foot. How can there be such a coincidence?"
Dong Jin replied: "Yunzhong County is located in a strategic location, and there are often thieves peeping at it. Therefore, there are always soldiers in the city to monitor the movements everywhere, not to mention that Mr. Sang is making such a big move, it is difficult for us to know."
"Then what do you mean now, attacking the imperial envoy's hotel can be regarded as a treason." A murderous intent flashed in Sang Hong's eyes. This situation should be suppressed by means of thunder, otherwise it will be troublesome for other people who are watching.
It's a pity that the other party also seems to be on guard. The whole person hides in the ranks of soldiers. If he misses a hit, the situation will be difficult to clean up.
"Sir Sang, don't give me a big hat, we are just here to seek justice, but we don't dare to rebel." Dong Jin was also tense, his hand tightly pressing on the handle of the knife.
"Then what justice do you want?" Sang Hong was expressionless.
"Release Lord Zuo." As soon as Dong Jin's voice fell, the other subordinates shouted in cooperation, and the voices of Lord Zuo were released one after another.
Zuo Su in the dungeon even heard it and opened his eyes, neither happy nor sad.
Seeing that the soldiers became more and more excited, and even had a tendency to charge forward, the elite Yulin Lang moved his spear forward one after another, and made a defensive posture.
Aware of their movements, the soldiers and horses at the city gates also drew their swords.
Visible beads of sweat fell from Dong Jin's face, obviously he was also very nervous at this time.
What is the concept of shocking the imperial commission, it is barely reasonable now, but if there is a real fight, how is his behavior different from conspiracy.
Sang Hong's face was also ashen. He quickly planned to capture the opponent directly, but unfortunately the opponent was very experienced and hid in the protection of the army. No matter how he calculated, his probability of success would not exceed 50%.
The situation on the field was imminent, and both sides knew very well that if there was a little accident, the whole situation would develop in an uncontrollable direction.
Although both sides are trying to restrain themselves now, in case there is someone who is trying to fish in troubled waters to help the fire...
I was really afraid of what was coming, when suddenly a loud arrow shot diagonally from the ground, and a soldier from Yunzhong County fell to the ground.
At this time, someone in the formation shouted: "They want to kill us all as rebels, brothers!"
Everyone's heartstrings were tensed, and when they were detonated like this, everyone subconsciously obeyed blindly.
Soon the soldiers of Yunzhong County were fighting with Yulin Lang.
"Fuck!" Dong Jin scolded secretly, he couldn't see that someone was secretly provoking, but now, he can't do anything about it, and the people under him are crazy, and he can't stop it even if he wants to.
We can only save Master Zuo first.
Sang Hong is also very painful, although he understands that both sides seem to be designed, but this is completely a conspiracy, and no one can stop it now.
A ruthless look flashed in his eyes, and since this is the case, then kill all these people here, so as to deter other people who are eager to move.
With his and Zuan's cultivation, coupled with the elite Yulin Lang, he will definitely not lose, but he will definitely suffer a lot of losses.
"Ding~"
At this moment, the sound of a pipa suddenly sounded in the sky.
Everyone looked back subconsciously, only to see a figure in the window upstairs of the hotel.
The man was dressed in gold embroidered clothes and wore a Yaksha mask, and the whole person had an inexplicable sense of oppression.
Gold embroidery!
