Chapter 171 The Biggest Borer in Daxuan Is Zuo Xiang
In fact, Ning Chen came this time not only to catch Steward Ding.
He also wanted to take the opportunity to find someone, that is, Du Langjun.
This person is good at using poison and is very dangerous. He must be eliminated.
Moreover, Du Langjun killed the family of the former governor of Jingji Yamen and carried dozens of lives on his body.
As long as he is found, it will definitely be a powerful weapon to strike the left prime minister.
Ning Chen asked people to put handcuffs and shackles on Steward Ding, and then strictly guard him.
"He doesn't have poisonous teeth in his mouth, right?"
Ning Chen asked.
Pan Yucheng shook his head, "I checked it, no!"
Ning Chen was relieved, and then ordered a search of the prime minister's mansion to find Du Langjun.
"Everyone be careful, Du Langjun is good at using poison and is very dangerous!"
"When searching, you must pay attention to places like secret rooms."
"Once you find Du Langjun, call for support immediately, don't rush up blindly."
Ning Chen warned.
"Yes!"
A group of soldiers immediately dispersed and began to search.
Two soldiers searched all the way to the back of the rockery.
"Help me keep an eye on it, I'm going to drain the water!"
The other one laughed and scolded: "Hurry up, don't let anyone see you, or you'll be in trouble!"
"Hehehe... You came to the Prime Minister's Mansion to pee. If you weren't with General Ning, we wouldn't have been treated this way."
Another soldier kicked him in the butt, "If General Ning knew, I'll definitely give you thirty military sticks."
The soldier who was peeing staggered after being kicked, and subconsciously stretched out his hand to support the rockery. Just as he was about to curse, his palm sank in.
It turned out that the protruding stone he was supporting was movable.
The two immediately realized that this was a mechanism and there was a secret room here.
Just then, with a sound of rock friction, a stone on the rockery behind them automatically moved away, and a secret door appeared.
The two looked at each other and were about to call for help, but two cold rays shot out from the secret door and hit their necks.
The two soldiers subconsciously covered their necks, but in less than three seconds, their faces turned purple and blue, and they fell to the ground without a breath.
A man covered in a black robe walked out of the secret door.
It was the Poison Man.
He listened for a while, then took off his black robe and changed into the clothes of one of the soldiers.
Then, he hid the black robe and the body in the secret door, and then walked out from behind the rockery.
Ning Chen was searching in the front yard.
As soon as he walked out of a room, he saw a soldier passing by.
Ning Chen asked casually: "Did you find anything?"
"General, no."
Ning Chen said, "Continue to search, search carefully... If you find someone, I will reward you."
"Thank you, General!"
Ning Chen nodded and turned to walk to another room.
Just as he entered the door, his steps suddenly stopped, and he turned his head to look at the soldier who was leaving. He stared at his back for a while and said sternly: "Stop!"
After speaking, Ning Chen pressed the handle of the knife and walked over.
He remembered this back, and the armor on this person was a little shorter.
Who knew that the soldier suddenly turned around, raised his hand and waved, and several poison needles shot towards Ning Chen.
Ning Chen rolled on the ground, dodged the poison needles, and stood up.
Swish!!!
The long sword was unsheathed.
The crossbow also appeared in his left hand, and he shot an arrow.
The opponent was agile and dodged behind a tree.
The arrow nailed on the tree.
"Come here!"
Ning Chen roared.
The dense footsteps rushed towards this side.
Ning Chen stared at the back of the tree and sneered: "Poison Man, come out!"
Poison Man flashed out from behind the tree and raised his hand to shoot several poison needles.
Ning Chen dodged in advance.
"Poison Man, surrender... There are my people around here, you can't run away!"
Poison Man's cheeks were thin, probably because he had been dealing with poison for many years. His face was blue, and his triangular eyes were flashing coldly, like a poisonous snake.
"As long as I kill you, everything will be solved!"
As Poison Man spoke, several more poison needles shot.
At the same time, he kicked his feet and rushed towards Ning Chen.
Ning Chen dodged the poison needle and ran away when he saw Du Langjun rushing towards him.
This guy was full of poison. He didn't want to contact this poisonous man. If he was poisoned to death, it would be too worthless!
He had so many people, there was no need to fight with Du Langjun.
At this time, many soldiers heard Ning Chen's voice and surrounded this side.
"Don't get close to him!"
Ning Chen yelled.
The soldiers stopped.
Ning Chen rushed to a soldier, "Give me the musket!"
The soldier quickly took out the musket and handed it to Ning Chen.
Ning Chen raised his hand and fired a shot without aiming.
Bang! ! !
The sound was like thunder, and black smoke spread with the flames.
A ball of blood burst out on Du Langjun's thigh, and he lowered his body and knelt directly on the ground.
"Musketeer."
Ning Chen looked at another soldier.
The soldier quickly handed over the musket.
Ning Chen raised his hand and fired another shot!
Bang! ! !
As Du Langjun struggled to get up, his left leg burst into blood again. He couldn't help but scream and fell to the ground.
Ning Chen held two crossbows in his hands.
"Brother Zhuzi, you are a good archer. Nail his hand to the ground for me."
Wu Tiezhu nodded, raised the crossbow and aimed.
Whoosh! ! !
An arrow flew out, pierced Du Langjun's palm, and nailed his right hand to the ground.
Ning Chen quickly grabbed a soldier's crossbow and threw it to Wu Tiezhu.
Wu Tiezhu raised his hand and shot another arrow!
Whoosh!!!
As Du Langjun screamed miserably, his left hand was nailed to the ground.
Ning Chen breathed a sigh of relief and patted Wu Tiezhu on the shoulder, "Well done!"
Wu Tiezhu scratched his head and showed a simple smile on his face. He was very happy to help Ning Chen.
"Come on, get more cold water!"
Several soldiers quickly got cold water.
Ning Chen ordered: "Splash him, pour it on his body, don't get too close!"
Huahuahua!!!
Buckets of cold water were poured on Du Langjun.
Du Langjun screamed miserably!
It was freezing cold now, and the cold water poured on his body was icy.
Pan Yucheng and others rushed over.
Seeing this, Yuan Long asked curiously, "General Ning, why do you want to pour cold water on him?"
Ning Chen said, "This guy is full of poison. He may have poisonous insects hidden in his body... Pouring cold water may freeze the poisonous insects to death. Even if he can't be frozen to death, he can slow down the movement of the poisonous insects."
"He is wearing our armor. It seems that someone has been poisoned... Damn it, my soldiers didn't die on the battlefield, but died in the hands of this beast."
"Brother Qi, take people to find the body and bury it properly later."
Qi Yuanzhong nodded and left with a few people.
Poison Man was almost frozen to death, and his body was frozen.
Ning Chen said, "Come on, strip his clothes... Remember, don't use your hands, use a knife to cut open the clothes, and then peel them off!"
Ning Chen was already very careful. These soldiers were all brave, and he didn't want anyone else to die at the hands of Poison Man.
The soldiers carefully cut open Poison Man's clothes with a knife, and many bamboo tubes of different sizes fell out of him.
"Don't touch those bamboo tubes, we'll set them on fire along with his clothes!"
Ning Chen suspected that there were poisonous insects hidden in these bamboo tubes.
Poisonous Man was stripped naked, and the wounds on his body, coupled with the cold water poured on him in the freezing weather, left him half dead.
Ning Chen was still worried, and asked someone to shave off all of Poisonous Man's hair with a knife.
Poisonous insects can also be hidden in hair.
"Yuan Long, go check if he has poisonous teeth? And then check if there is anything hidden in his butt?"
"Ah?"
Yuan Long was dumbfounded!
"Hurry up, this kind of pervert will do anything... It's always better to be careful."
General Ning, why do I feel that you are more perverted than him... Yuan Long complained in his heart.
Yuan Long still endured it and checked it.
"General Ning, there is nothing hidden!"
Ning Chen hummed, and then he was relieved.
"Give him a simple bandage, just don't let him die. Then find some clothes for him to wear, and tie his hands and feet... Yuan Long will personally lead people to escort him and Steward Ding to the Supervisory Office."
"Also, leave some people to guard the Prime Minister's Mansion. No one is allowed to enter but not leave."
Yuan Long nodded, "Yes!"
Ning Chen and Pan Yucheng left the Prime Minister's Mansion and rode straight to the outer city.
"Are we not going back to the Supervisory Office?"
Pan Yucheng asked.
Ning Chen shook his head, "There is still evidence to be obtained."
Pan Yucheng looked at Ning Chen deeply.
"I've been with you all day, but I didn't expect you to do so many things without telling me, and I didn't notice it at all."
"Ning Chen, you're so scary!"
Ning Chen smiled bitterly, "Old Pan, I was forced to do it, not hiding it from you... I just didn't find the right time to tell you."
Pan Yucheng said, "I don't mean to blame you... On the contrary, I admire you very much. At the same age, no one can do better than you!"
"I said you're scary, but I'm just glad that we're friends, not enemies."
Ning Chen smiled, "Old Pan, I'll be proud of you saying that."
"If I were your age and had your achievements, I'd be prouder than you... I'd be proud of any of these things, such as being the Great Xuan Poet, beheading the uncle of the king, and capturing the King of Beiting alive."
Ning Chen laughed, "Hearing you say that, it's true... A young man in bright clothes and riding a horse, he lives up to his youth and knows it. If I'm proud, it's not too much."
The two rode to the West Market of the Outer City and found Liu's Cloth Shop.
"Sir, what would you like to order?"
The waiter came up to greet him enthusiastically.
Ning Chen looked at the shopkeeper, a man in his thirties with ordinary appearance.
Ning Chen looked at him, "Are you Liu Chuanzu?"
The shopkeeper looked at Ning Chen vigilantly.
Ning Chen smiled slightly, "Don't be nervous, General Kong left something with you, let me get it!"
Liu Chuanzu's eyes narrowed slightly, "Are you General Kong's man?"
Ning Chen hummed!
Liu Chuanzu lowered his voice and said, "You two, please follow me!"
Ning Chen successfully got the secret letter.
Then, he and Pan Yucheng returned to the Supervisory Department.
The entire Supervisory Department was under martial law, and no one was allowed to enter or leave.
Emperor Xuan stayed in Geng Jing's room.
The civil and military officials stood in the yard, shivering like dogs.
Seeing Ning Chen appear, everyone stared at him closely.
And Ning Chen looked at the left prime minister with murderous intent in his eyes.
He came before the Left Prime Minister and said word by word: "The hatred for killing my mother is irreconcilable... Lord Left Prime Minister, today, only one of us can walk out of the Supervisory Office alive."
This sentence made the Left Prime Minister's pupils shrink violently and his face turned even paler!
Ning Chen turned around, strode to the door, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I want to see you!"
With a creak!
The door of Geng Jing's room opened!
The Emperor Xuan, wearing a cloak, walked out slowly.
He looked at Ning Chen and asked: "Have you got the evidence?"
"Your Majesty, I have!"
"Okay, now can you tell me who is the biggest borer in the Great Xuan you mentioned?"
Ning Chen turned around, pointed at Zuo Xiang, and said loudly: "Stealing gold mines, collaborating with the enemy and treason, taking human lives lightly, and killing loyal people... The biggest borer in my Great Xuan is Lord Zuo Xiang."
A stone stirred up a thousand waves.
Ning Chen's words were like a bolt from the blue, making the civil and military officials present stand there in a daze, like stone carvings or wood carvings.
