Yang Tingxing happened to be drinking tea in the Seventh Prince's Mansion early in the morning, and just sat down to rest for a while, when he saw Li Ge bringing someone in, he couldn't help but wondered, Yang Tingjing also looked at the short man, neatly dressed, with hands in his hands. Holding a wooden box, if there is anything unusual about him, it is that his face is very flustered, and cold sweat keeps rolling down his forehead.
"What's the situation?" Yang Tingxing glanced at Li Ge, and asked Yang Tingjing. Yang Tingjing nodded at Li Ge, signaling Li Ge to continue.
Li Ge knelt on the ground on one knee, and told Yang Tingxing about the current situation: "Your Majesty, I was investigating the puppets on the street, and found a group of people with gorgeous clothes, and each of them was holding a wooden box like this , a lot of locusts flew out of it from time to time, and I thought they were suspicious, so I brought them back."
locust? !
Yang Yanxing and Yang Yanjing saw surprise and doubt in each other's eyes at the same time. What is a group of people doing with locusts? Locusts eat crops. It's too late to deal with them. Who would be idle and shut them up in a wooden box? inside.
Yang Tingxing stared coldly at the short man, and asked in a tone of persuasion, "Say, what is the purpose of releasing a bunch of locusts like this?"
The short man was trembling with fright at the questioning, but he still refused to say anything. He looked at Yang Tingxing with a bit of awe and fear, and said falteringly: "Report to Your Majesty, Caomin... Caomin really I just think locusts are fun with my playmates... Well, it’s fun, I use it to play.”
Hearing the little man's words, Yang Tingxing's face became more and more gloomy, who is he playing with? Yang Yanxing would not believe such nonsense, he looked at the short man kneeling on the ground, pulled out the long sword from his waist, and forced him to stand in front of the short man: "Whether you say it or not, my sword is not Long eyes."
Although he was terrified to death, this man still refused to say what the locusts were used for, as if he was jealous of something.
Yang Tingxing paced back and forth angrily, Yang Tingjing stepped forward and signaled Yang Tingxing: "Brother Huang, don't ask him that."
Yang Tingxing had no way to get any useful information, so he sat down on the couch.
Yang Tingjing walked up to the short man, leaned over to look at him, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly: "I don't know what scruples you have, but no matter what threats your family or anyone has received, we have the same concerns." If the method can achieve such means, it is all up to you whether you say it or not."
A trace of ruthlessness flashed in Yang Tingjing's eyes, and at the same time the sword in his hand was measured against the short man's body, and he said casually: "Do you think I should give this place to your family, or this place?"
"Do you think this king doesn't know where your home is? The outskirts of the city are thirty miles east and south...is it your home?" Yang Tingjing said softly.
"How would you know? Impossible, this is impossible!" The little man was shocked. He was so scared that his psychological defense collapsed. He repeatedly begged for mercy: "Don't, don't hurt my family, don't."
The little man murmured again: "I say, I say everything, I say everything."
He was wearing neat clothes, but his speech and gestures were extremely embarrassing.
Both Yang Yanjing and Yang Yanxing showed complacency on their faces, silently waiting for the little man to speak.
The short man said slowly: "Those locusts don't actually eat crops?"
Yang Tingxing and Yang Tingjing were shocked at the same time. They didn't expect to hear such an answer. They both asked at the same time: "What do they eat? Can locusts eat other foods?"
Li Ge was also surprised, the short man nodded and said: "Yes, the locusts are released to sting people, once people are stung, they will become puppets."
The matter of the puppet was indeed related to this man and the locust in his hand, Yang Tingxing said with a cold face: "Show me what you are holding in your hand."
The short man got up, took a few steps forward, opened the box, and saw a huge locust inside.
Yang Tingjing also stared at the huge locust, and after thinking for a while, he asked, "Did those puppets before become also because of these locusts?"
The short man nodded timidly, and at the same time looked at Yang Yanxing and Yang Yanjing in front of him in fear from the corner of his eyes. Admitting this matter is equivalent to being decapitated, which is of no benefit to him. , If you don't tell this matter, your family will be threatened, so he has to say it.
Yang Tingjing asked with the mind of following the clues: "Then what is the purpose and intention of turning all good people into puppets?"
The short man shook his head and said, "I don't know!"
The short man's lips and teeth moved slightly, and his upper and lower teeth bit his tongue. He was about to bite his tongue hard to kill himself, but was forced to come to him by a sword light, and forcibly let go of the upper and lower rows of teeth that were on his tongue.
Seeing that he couldn't ask any more questions, Yang Tingjing sighed and then told Li Ge: "Li Ge, let's do this first, lock him up in the basement."
Li Ge nodded and escorted the people to the basement.
Strange incidents have been happening these days, and the palace is full of oppressive and dull scenes. Yang Yanxing specially organized a banquet to celebrate.
After the banquet was over, Yang Tingjing went to the basement, not looking for the little man, there was another person locked up in the basement, this person was the person who caught the locust release in Luoshui City, and entered this room , to his front.
Seeing Yang Tingjing's appearance, he didn't show much surprise, but his face was calm and calm.
Yang Tingjing opened his mouth slowly, telling what had happened recently: "This king came here this time because I have something to tell you. Recently, many puppets appeared outside the imperial city, causing harm to the common people and innocent people. Yesterday noon Nearby, another poisonous person attacked the palace. This morning, Li Ge, the king's subordinate, found out a group of people releasing locusts and caught one person. According to his confession, he said that the incident of being a puppet was related to the locusts released."
Having said that, Yang Tingjing just kept silent and didn't say any more.
The man looked up to the sky with a long smile: "Although everyone in the Yu family has been arrested, as long as your seventh prince cannot catch the man in red, the existence of the Yu family cannot be eliminated. Sooner or later, the world of the Yang family will be returned to the Yu family."
Yang Yanjing slowly explained: "It's not that I can't catch the men in red, but I just want to see what those men in red are going to do, what their purpose is, and what they are doing."
The man remained silent and ignored Yang Yanjing. Yang Yanjing stood alone for a while, seeing that he could not hear a few useful words, he left the basement. If they want to take back the world, judging from their current methods of doing things, it is very likely that they are going to do something and use these to deceive people, but what is it that takes such a lot of trouble
Yang Yanxing, I heard the secret guard tell the rumors in the capital, Yang Yanxing clenched his fists tightly, his eyes were sullen, and he snorted coldly: "No matter whose world this is, at least it's in my hands now, There is absolutely no reason to return the world in my hands."
