[I came back late for something, but before three o'clock in the morning, the third watch will be completed. 】
Although the morning after the snowstorm is still cold and tight, the rising sun after a few days' absence still exudes warmth in people's hearts.
However, in the official office of the Zuo Temple of Dali Temple, this beautiful scene was cut to pieces by the sound of Ling Lie breaking the air.
It was the handle of Frostmourne, which was five feet four inches long and weighed one hundred and two catties.
Speaking of which, Sun Shaozong hadn't exercised in the morning for a long time - those in bed were not counted.
When he first led the troops south to suppress the rebellion, he insisted on smelling chickens and dancing every day.
But when the Wuxi barbarians were pacified in one go, they were either busy with filing papers or inspecting the people's conditions all day long. Naturally, the swords and guns were put into the warehouse and the horses were released to Nanshan.
However, last night's failed Qiankun throw made Sun Shaozong wake up again.
Although this thousand gold and giant strength belongs to the bonus of golden fingers, it has not subsided with slack - but once the martial arts become rusty, it may not be possible to control this inhuman strength.
In the future, you have to keep practicing every day!
As soon as he made up his mind, he saw Hong Jiu and Huang Bin entering the courtyard side by side.
tsk~
It seems to be more reliable to practice at night.
uh~
Maybe noon would be more appropriate
The habitual will was not firm, so Sun Shaozong naturally accepted the move and put Frostmourne on his shoulder.
"The adults are really gods!"
Hong Jiu took the first half a step and praised repeatedly.
Huang Bin at the back gave a polite salute.
Sun Shaozong was not in a hurry to ask serious questions. He smiled and said to Hong Jiu: "Yesterday, it was thanks to you that you acted in time. Otherwise, in the evening, Yang Kui would have died."
"Don't dare to be an adult!"
Hong Jiucheng bowed again and again in fear, and then said with an apologetic smile: "I'm not afraid that adults will laugh at it, that method was learned when the villain was begging along the street-beggars always have to eat some leftovers and stinky rice. If you don't spit it out right away, you'll be at risk for your life."
It seems that no matter how lowly the industry is, it has its merits.
Sun Shaozong smiled suddenly, then his face became solemn, and he asked about serious errands.
This so-called serious errand is naturally to interrogate Yang Kui overnight to find out his motive, process, and whether there is someone else in charge.
In fact, after the confrontation yesterday and the incident where Yang Kui suddenly took poison, Sun Shaozong has basically locked the black hand behind Yang Kui.
But to overthrow a serious court official, it is not enough to infer from nothing, at least to get Yang Kui's confession.
Of course, Sun Shaozong has secretly arranged manpower, lest some people really abandon their positions and run away.
"Go back to the words of the adults."
Now it was Huang Bin's turn to speak, and he said solemnly: "The villain assisted Wang Dianli in interrogation overnight, but Yang Kui was forced to interrogate, and finally he was recruited to find out how he colluded with Duan Qing, Shi Gui and others. , the killing of Lu Guijian and Wang Erhu."
"But as to the reason, and whether he was ordered by others, he either kept his mouth shut, or he seemed to have scruples in his mind."
This was not what Sun Shaozong expected.
From Yang Kui's intention to commit suicide by taking poison yesterday, it is not difficult to infer that he is scruples - as for the reason, it is nothing more than the family's wife, children and children.
"Change the way."
After hearing Huang Bin's report, Sun Shaozong immediately ordered: "Let him explain his usual corruption and dereliction of duty first."
Huang Bin was very puzzled when he heard the words. Although according to the current situation, Yang Kui would probably not refuse to confess, but even if he got his corrupt confession, what use would it be
So Huang Bin hesitantly and cautiously reminded: "Sir, just based on what he has explained now, it is already a capital crime, so what's the use of adding more crimes to it."
"Of course it works."
Sun Shaozong smiled sensually: "Buying murder to kill is only a crime for himself, but corruption and dereliction of duty can implicate his family!"
After all, this is not the future. The murderer behind the scenes can threaten Yang Kui's family, and the government can do the same - of course, it must be a famous teacher.
When Huang Bin was stunned, he couldn't help taking a deep breath, and when he looked at Sun Shaozong again, he flinched a little, obviously being frightened by the aura of killing him.
If it were someone else, Sun Shaozong would be too lazy to explain.
However, this Huang Bin is one of the few in Dali Temple that can be cultivated, so naturally he cannot be alienated from it.
Therefore, Sun Shaozong added: "Don't forget, the person behind the scenes may be threatening him with Yang Kui's family - now that the Yang family is brought under the control of the imperial court, they are removed. worry for his life.”
Huang Bin thought that this was indeed the case, and he felt relieved, so he handed over his orders and left.
When Hong Jiu saw the needle, he wanted to flatter him again. He had thought that someone would come in like a storm outside.
"Sun Shaoqing, you had such a big battle last night!"
Now the Dali Temple, who dares to come to question Sun Shaozong so aggressively, is naturally only Wei Yi, the head of the Dali Temple.
Seeing him striding forward with a gloomy face, he continued to ask: "Regardless of whether you still have a Shangguan like me in your eyes, don't forget that you are currently suspended pending impeachment, so openly resisting the edict, are you not afraid of the court blaming me? …”
"Master, Master Shaoqing!"
To say that the official office of Zuo Temple today is really like a city, Wei Yi just stood on his heels, and before he could finish his scolding with a gun and a stick, someone else rushed in from behind.
Not resentful that the conversation was interrupted, Wei Yi subconsciously turned his head and glared, but Chen Jingde's legs softened, and he staggered a few steps and almost came to a hungry dog.
Thanks to Hong Jiu's quick-witted hands, he stepped forward to hold him up, and barely stopped his fall.
"Humph!"
Seeing his frizzy appearance, Wei Yi threw his sleeves and scolded insinuously: "Chen Sifu, it's only been a few days, how did you learn so indecently?"
Sun Shaozong naturally heard that this was Xiang Zhuang's sword-wielding intent on Pei Gong, but he was too lazy to care about him for the time being, so he asked Chen Jingde: "Chen Sifu, you came here in such a hurry, did something happen? Accident?"
When Chen Jingde heard this, he immediately remembered his purpose, pushed Hong Jiu away quickly, and handed over to report: "Tingwei, Master Sun, the son of Wang Erhu has been found!"
"what?!"
This time, Sun Shaozong really lost his temper. He stepped forward and grabbed Chen Jingde's collar, and asked loudly, "Where is the person? Who found it? Where did you get hurt!"
The reason Sun Shaozong acted recklessly last night was to save the child.
When Huang Bin just reported, he said that Shi Gui, the bloody hand, and Wang Erhu's son had already found another place to hide, and now no one knows where he is.
Who would have thought that the hostages would be found in the blink of an eye? !
"He... that child came to the door himself!"
Chen Jingde wanted to take the credit for himself, but more than one person saw this, so he finally chose to tell the truth: "Just now he found the yamen guarding the gate himself, saying it was Wang Erhu's son, and handed this letter. , the above indicates that you are to be opened by adults!"
Saying that, he offered a letter with both hands.
Sun Shaozong first looked at the cover, and saw that it only read 'Blood Eyes God Duan Lord Sun's personal opening', other than that there is no other text.
When the cover was removed and the letter paper inside was shaken off, there were even fewer words on it.
There are only four big characters in total on the back and front - thieves are also right!
