As General Yulin, Luo Cong was not the highest-ranking official of the Luo family in the court, but he was the most powerful. Through Princess Huaping, he was able to maximize the effectiveness of one hundred thousand soldiers - the princess received support, The Luo family gained support, and many ministers saw a powerful force and voluntarily pledged their allegiance. As soon as the news of the palace assassination came out, Luo Cong sensed a crisis. Although the enemy's conspiracy was still vague in his eyes, he knew where the biggest threat came from. "General Pang Ning has been looking for excuses to lead his troops to Beijing. He hopes that Mr. Gu will not be taken advantage of. The struggle in the court cannot be shaken by the Jianghu. Old Zihe is confused. This move is a big mistake." After all the hidden guards left, Luo Cong regained his general demeanor and clapped his hands. Immediately, servants brought in three chairs from outside, one on the left and two on the right. At the same time, they brought official uniforms and put them directly on top of the commoners. Luo Cong still looks like a scholar. Most of his armor is made of leather, with extremely thin gold sheets on the outside. A large part of the luster is even painted on, making it lifelike and flawless from a distance. Another servant returned Gu Shenwei's narrow knife to its original owner to show his sincerity. Luo Cong and Pang Jing sat on the right, with Gu Shen on the left, more than ten steps apart, like three officials preparing for a joint trial. The servant retreated, and Luo Cong sat with a golden sword, adding a bit of military general style to himself, "Mr. Gu was deceived by Zihe. He is an old cunning man. In his early years, he won the praise of the powerful by pretending to be a ghost, and he survived by luck. After reaching the age of eighty, this has become the biggest evidence that he is a god, which is extremely ridiculous. But after all, he is just the head of a small martial arts sect. Looking at the scenery, the power in his hands is false, and the Empress Dowager can defeat him with just one word. Lift it to the sky. Even if you are not satisfied, you can wipe out the entire Kongtong sect. It is not wise for Mr. Gu to ask for his help. " "Ordinary people treat soldiers first and then treat them with courtesy. Forgive me for being short-sighted and unable to see that. Where is your sincerity?" Luo Cong laughed. He wanted to imitate the heroism of a military general, but the result was false. He did not realize this, raised his right hand and slapped his thigh hard, "The Dragon King is really straightforward." Pang Jing coldly interjected: "Master Gu His knowledge is not short-sighted at all. He has not shown up for six years, and when he does show up, there are corpses all over the place, which makes all the factions in the court look to him for help. You have to be careful, Mr. Gu used this in the first place. This method has been used like a fish in water in Beiting, and it has destroyed a powerful grassland country and has not been able to recover to this day." Luo Cong stroked his beard and looked at Gu Shenwei, as if he had just become interested in him, "The Empress Dowager clearly issued an imperial edict in the name of the emperor, giving it to you. I have ten days to investigate the case, but I want to capture you alive. Is Mr. Gu wondering about this?" Gu Shenwei didn't say anything when the other party was eager to express. He usually would not answer words casually to avoid falling into traps. Traps in language were everywhere. He had already experienced this from Master Zihe, so he became more cautious. Luo Cong did not immediately answer his question, but loudly said: "Bring it up." Two sergeants pushed one person into the main hall. Push him to the ground. The main hall of Dali Temple suddenly became the territory of the Yulin Army. The prisoner was still wearing the clothes of a palace eunuch, but his hat was gone. His hair was disheveled, his face was full of panic, and he kept shouting about injustice. Luo Cong drank impatiently. "First, what's your name?" The little castrate swallowed. There were three people sitting in front of him. He couldn't figure out any information. He was too scared and lost all the skills he had just learned. "The villain Zhang Ji'er, I am a humble servant in the palace, and I always serve Duke Yan. I have not killed anyone. Really, Duke Yan is as kind as a mountain to me" "Don't fart," Luo Cong scolded. In front of the panicked person, he looked more like a military commander. One point, "The pills Yan Changshi usually takes are poisoned. You are his personal person. Who else can come into contact with these things except you? There is also the dagger on the chest. Yan Changshi is weak and afraid of the cold, so the doors and windows are closed. It must be tight and there is no trace of damage. You are the only one who has been guarding the door. If you have the opportunity to stab him, Zhang Jier, the little eunuch, desperately tried to save his life. Out of some intuition, he turned his attention to Gu Shenwei and said, "I am in the palace." How could there be a dagger on my body when I was walking in the middle? The dagger was not mine. Besides, since the purpose of poisoning was to deceive others, why would I stab him again? " "Little monkey, tell me first, who are you doing this for?" "I, I have been serving Duke Yan this year." Zhang Jier's voice was a little flustered. "Where was it a year ago?" Luo Cong was hot on the trail. Although the case took place less than half a day ago, he already had enough clues. "A year ago I was a handyman under Liu Gong of Xiaohuangmen. I was responsible for sweeping the floor and so on. Liu Gong recommended me to Yan Gong." "Two years ago?" "Two years ago" Zhang Jier hesitated. "You don't have such a bad memory, do you?" "Two years ago, the villain was purified because of his poverty and entered the palace." "Not only are you poor, but your parents are also dead, right?" "Yes." Luo Cong He was furious and said to the two sergeants: "First give him twenty spanks, and then I'll ask him if his butt is bruised to see if he tells the truth." A sergeant raised his foot and stepped on Zhang Jier's back. The other sergeant chose a stick that fit his hand, followed the general's order, and hit him hard. After one stick, Zhang Jier cried like a ghost, with tears and snot flowing from his nose. After two sticks, he screamed for his mother. After three sticks, he couldn't bear it anymore and shouted: "General, spare your life, I tell the truth." Luo Cong signaled the sergeant again. After hitting him with two sticks, he stopped, and then said to Gu Shenwei with a smile: "The stick is ruthless, but it is the most effective, especially for those guys who think they are smart." Zhang Jier felt that his butt was no longer his, so he lay on the ground and spoke with a smile There was no sound, and then he realized that the "guessing is a weapon" was all lies. Even if he could figure out General Yulin's thoughts, it would not relieve the pain in his body at all. "Two years ago the villain was working in Prince Xiao's Mansion." This was what Luo Cong was waiting for. He looked at Gu Shenwei and said, "You understand, right? This is a conspiracy, just waiting for Mr. Gu to come to visit. The purpose of doing this is to implicate you. Do you still believe that old guy Zihe? He started flattering Prince Xiao a few years ago, maybe just to plan this conspiracy." Gu Shenwei thought for a while and said. : "First, this is Dali Temple, and the prisoner is a eunuch in the palace. How can the case be tried by General Luo?" Luo Cong laughed a few times. "I blame me for not making it clear. The Shifang Sect poisoned dozens of desperadoes outside the city last night. Various factions in the rivers and lakes are clamoring for revenge. Mr. Gu entered the city early in the morning. Maybe he hasn't heard about it, but there are already thousands of people there. There was a massive manhunt outside the city, causing panic and shaking the whole city. Officials and city patrols alone could no longer suppress it. Several important officials in the court jointly submitted a petition, requesting your Majesty to immediately send out the Yulin Army to restore order in the city. His Majesty immediately agreed - therefore, the Yulin Army is now in charge of the security of the capital. I believe that there is a black hand from the Shifang Sect behind the assassination of Yan Changshi, so I took over. " It was with this as an excuse that the Yulin Army came from the palace gate. Sima snatched the suspect from his hands and occupied the palace of Dali Temple. Nine times out of ten, the emperor has been killed. "Your Majesty agrees" is actually the Empress Dowager's agreement. Gu Shenwei knew there must be something fishy in this. But he didn't ask further, "Second, I was sitting in the front hall at that time. Many people can testify, how could Yan Qin's assassination involve me?" "Bring Zhang You in." Luo Cong once again decided to let the prisoner speak. Zhang You came here on his own and was a little confused about his status and identity. His knees were bent but he did not kneel down, and his tone vacillated between toughness and flattery, "General Luo, what is your purpose in bringing us to Dali Temple? Mr. Yan was unfortunately assassinated. It should be" Luo Cong winked. The sergeant stepped forward and pushed Zhang You to his knees. Luo Cong said sternly: "Zhang You, you have nothing to do with Yan Changshi's assassination. How do you have the right to say 'should'? The most reasonable thing to do is to do this to you." Give him a severe punishment, just like him!" Zhang You turned his head and glanced at Zhang Jier, looking at the bloody buttocks, listening to the breathless moans, he felt panicked, all his energy was gone, and he knelt on the ground sweating like rain. Next, "The general clearly found out that the villain was still well when he left Duke Yan. Since then, the villain has been accompanying the guests in the front hall and has never gone to the backyard." "Who is the guest you are accompanying?" "It is Mr. Gu. "You have been with him?" "Yes, you have not left for a while." "Well, let me put it another way, Mr. Gu has always been with you?" "No, Zhang Jier and another young eunuch came in." Mr. Gu, I waited for a while before going over to sit with him. "How long will it take?" "I, I don't remember." Luo Cong turned to Gu Shenwei, "See, if you keep asking, Zhang You will." He insisted that the first person Mr. Gu saw after entering the house was Zhang Jier. "This is a fact, not a villain's fabrication," Zhang You hurriedly defended. Luo Cong ignored him and continued to say to Gu Shenwei: "As long as I use torture again, Zhang Jier will admit that he got the hint from you and returned to the backyard to poison Yan Changshi. Of course, if these two people are brought back The palace will not confess immediately. It will take a few days, such as six days. Mr. Gu's ten-day deadline has expired. Even if you clear up your relationship with the Western Region Killer, there will still be another case waiting for you. " Zhang You. with ZhangThe daughter shook her head at the same time to deny it, but was stopped by the sergeant with his sword and did not dare to say a word. Pang Jing interrupted again at the right moment, "This clearly shows Zihe's insidiousness. He may not necessarily frame Mr. Gu afterwards, but he will always lay a foreshadowing first. This lawsuit will not only involve you, but it will also involve you if necessary." He could also point to Prince Xiao, and Yan Changshi was also killed. Killing three birds with one stone, the only one the old guy was really loyal to was the Empress Dowager." Gu Shenwei did not follow Luo Cong and Pang Jing's thoughts, "So, you guys. Do you believe that Zhang Jier must be the one who killed Yan Qin? " "It goes without saying." Luo Cong pointed at Zhang Jier, as if it was a demon that appeared, "As long as he has the chance and the time, it must be Zihe Xu. For his benefit, he asked him to assassinate Yan Changshi when Mr. Gu was visiting. " Gu Shenwei remembered what Zihe said to him yesterday: Yan Qin is no longer important. Once you have seen him, you will understand that you want revenge quickly. Click your hands. "Zhang Jier is not the murderer, I can prove it now." Gu Shenwei said.
