Chapter 428

Although Wang Jian was apprehensive, he could barely hold his breath.

Although the trip to the imperial city in the morning did not achieve the original purpose, fortunately, it was not in vain.

Now that I came back, I found Shen Hao in the Thousand Households Office of Xuanqing Guard. While reporting the situation, I wanted to hear about the next move. At the same time, the situation on the fourth side is also being analyzed and deduced, and there is no explanation yet.

Standing with hands tied, Wang Jian didn't dare to let him sit down. He felt very guilty if things were not done well. Master Shen in front of him leaned on the back of the chair, frowning, and hadn't made a sound for a long time.

This made Wang Jian even more afraid to show his anger.

The main reason is that the time is too tight. One day today and tomorrow afternoon, the time the emperor will help to save is gone. When those big officials come back, not to mention the Ministry of War will definitely be turned upside down. Even the civil servants in the temple may not be willing to be spectators. Small moves are entirely possible.

So now it's a race against time. Wang Jian felt that his side was of no use.

"So let's infer logically that "Feng Xiao Camp is the relationship between these ten people" and Xu Hong, the left servant of the Ministry of War, is their top line? Isn't that true?" Shen Hao opened his mouth, but he didn't blame Wang Jian. the meaning of. Handling a case is full of various uncertainties, and it is not normal to go smoothly.

"Yes, my lord, this is what we have learned so far. Feng Xiaoying, Xu Hong, and those ten hard bones must have a close relationship. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are direct descendants.

At present, according to the information from other people's interrogation, basically all the clues are broken on these ten people. If they don't open their mouths, they will not be able to deduce it later. Even if they know that Xu Hong is very likely to have something to do with this matter, they can't find evidence. "Wang Jian didn't dare to look up after speaking, he has nothing to do now.

Shen Hao nodded his chin slightly, and continued: "It's not bad to be able to have a high degree of confidence in the speculation, which means that we have chosen the right direction for investigation. And if I read correctly, these ten hard bones should be given by them. The first defense gap I set up. Hmph, I have seen these ten people very accurately. After finishing the whole set of torture methods one by one, no one confessed."

Speaking of this, Shen Hao gritted his teeth. After being Xuan Qingwei for so many years, it was the first time he saw so many people who could resist Xuan Qingwei's torture. They are all hard, and they are all stones from the latrine, and they smell bad.

"Where's the hundred guards from the Ministry of War? Didn't you say you took his family? Is the scaring effective?" Shen Hao rubbed his brows and changed the question.

"No. That guy Zeng Wenhe still didn't say a word. Even if I threatened him to cut off his little girl's nose, he didn't do anything. He just stared at me with wide eyes. It's like a ghost is obsessed. Do you want to move?" Really show him?"

"No. It's okay to use torture on criminals, but it's beyond the line to make small moves against the family." Shen Hao knew what Wang Jian meant, but he would not agree. He hasn't reached that point at all, and his bottom line can't be messed up.

"But these people are definitely not going to survive, and the Yi tribe is sure, so let's move first."

Shen Hao interrupted again: "No. That's something for the Yi tribe. If you touch their family now, do you know how bad it will be? I really think our Xuan Qingwei's signboard is not black enough, right? I warn Don't make trouble for me on your own!"

"My subordinates don't dare." Wang Jian didn't mention this any more, and he could only secretly think in his heart that he would release Zeng Wenhe's family first when he went back, since it seemed that he would not need it anyway.

In fact, Shen Hao, like Wang Jian, has no recruits for the time being. But the difference is that Shen Hao still has an idea in his heart, but he still has to wait for the reply.

"You urge those guys from the Ministry of Impermanence again. It's been an hour, why haven't you heard back yet?"

"Good sir." Wang Jian actually urged the staff of the Ministry of Impermanence to go to Qianli Yinfu half an hour ago, but he could only do as his own adults were anxious. But I was also thinking: Your Excellency values ​​that news so much? Is there really a way?

Coincidentally, just as Wang Jian took out the matching thousand-mile note, before he could send a message, the thousand-mile note vibrated first. A message came from the opposite side first.

Wang Jian raised his head and glanced at Shen Hao who was sitting, and then unfolded the Thousand Miles Note to receive the message from the opposite side.

"My lord, there is news! People from the Ministry of Impermanence have found the population department of the yamen in Xinliang City and checked the roster. Xu Hong's mother, Xu Zhou, and Zhou Qing's great-aunt Zhou Yueyu are the same person!"

"That means Xu Hong and Zhou Qing are actually cousins!" Shen Hao stood up from his chair, with a long-lost smile on his face.

"Yes, my lord, Xu Hong should be Zhou Qing's grandparents. No wonder that guy gritted his teeth and refused to confess. It turns out that there is still such a relationship."

In fact, this kind of kinship between Zhou Qing and Xu Hong is very common in the military. This is what the saying goes, "Father and son are always in battle". The closer the relationship, the less likely they will be isolated and helpless on the battlefield. It's just that this relationship was not directly written in Zhou Qing's copybook. The description is deliberately cryptic.

"Hehe, print back the roster of the Population Division, and leave the testimony as a supporting evidence. It must be reliable."

"My lord, I understand. I have explained these things before. At present, the people from the Ministry of Impermanence are asking the Xinliang City Yamen's permission to print the roster in the capacity of Xuan Qingwei, using the commander's yamen's document to endorse it. It should not be a big problem. "

Shen Hao nodded, and couldn't help walking back and forth in the room. The look of joy is obvious on the face.

"My lord, have you thought of a way?"

"Didn't you mention the method just now?"

"Huh? My lord, the subordinates don't understand."

"Didn't you say just now that Zeng Wenhe committed a serious crime against the barbarians anyway? Why did you forget?"

Of course Wang Jian remembered this, but "the subordinates still don't understand."

"Zeng Wenhe's current crime is a serious crime of treason, let alone the three Yi tribes, and the nine Yi tribes are not impossible. Although Zhou Qing's actions seem not to be as eye-catching as Zeng Wenhe's, but he can still do it according to the law. A "collude with foreign enemies with the intention of committing crimes", is this crime enough for the barbarians?"

"That's certainly enough."

"Then do the math, which of Zhou Qing's three clans are included?"

"Including the father's family, mother's family, and wife's family. Are you planning to include Xu Hong in Zhou Qing's three families?!" Wang Jian was able to react now, and he couldn't help but admire his lord when he was surprised. With a lively mind, he was actually able to rely on this. It seems that Xu Hong still has some ties to Zhou Qing's father's family.

But Wang Jian still has doubts in his heart: Although Zhou Qing's three clans can really count Xu Hong into it, how can they implement it? We must know that under normal circumstances, the three tribes of the Yi will not be punished, and the main population is to be dealt with. Xu Hong and Zhou Qing's relatives are far away, and Xu Hong's status is probably not good enough to use this as an excuse to trouble each other, right?
