"who are you?"
The person who was the leader of the clamor immediately stood up and pointed at Zhao Xun's nose and asked.
Zhao Xun was not annoyed and said calmly: "I am Zhao Xun and Zhao Mingyun."
This time it exploded.
Many people started talking about it.
"Zhao Xun? But that bad guy Zhao Xun?"
"Who else could be there besides him? I heard that no matter what the case is, Zhao Xun can always investigate it clearly."
"I also heard that Zhao Xun is the Wenqu star who descended to earth."
"What does Wenquxing mean?"
"Wenquxing is the star in the sky, responsible for governing culture and education."
"I see. Does that mean that by worshiping this Wenquxing, my son will get the top prize in the imperial examination?"
"Go, go, go, Na Wenquxing is just a saying, and he is not really a god. What kind of person do you worship him?"
"Oh, that seems to be the case..."
"I also heard that Zhao Xun was ordered to serve as an imperial minister and go to the southeast to exterminate monsters. Those monsters lurking in the sea are all extremely ferocious and often come to the shore to prey on people. After Zhao Xun arrived in Ningzhou Immediately organize people to search the mountains and seas to capture the monsters. The Demon Emperor was furious and immediately decided to besiege Ningzhou City. Guess what happened?"
"how's it going?"
"When the monsters besieged Ningzhou City, Zhao Xun and Zhao Mingyun shouted "Sword Come," and immediately all the swords in Ningzhou City came into his hands."
"Hiss, is it so powerful?"
"This is not over yet. Zhao Mingyun killed thousands of monsters by himself, scaring all the monsters into peeing and running away in confusion. The ones who ran fast saved their lives, and the ones who ran slowly saved their lives. It was because he was skinned and cramped. From then on, the monster did not dare to go ashore because it was afraid of Zhao Xun and Zhao Mingyun."
Zhao Xun knew that he had a very tall image among the people now, but he didn't expect him to be so tall.
"Ahem, everyone, please be quiet. Be quiet first and listen to what Zhao has to say."
Zhao Xun cleared his throat and said very solemnly: "I can understand your mood. Recently, monsters have sneaked into Chang'an City and like to suck human bones and blood. It is natural for you to feel fear. But now Chang'an has implemented martial law, just to find people. Find out the monsters hiding in Chang'an City. Fellow citizens and neighbors, you might as well wait a moment. I believe it won't be long before these monsters can be uncovered and brought to justice."
What Zhao Xun said is impassioned, enlightened by emotion, and moved by reason.
Many people were moved by his words, and some were even moved to tears.
"Mr. Zhao Xiaolang is right. We just need to be patient at this time. We must trust the government and the court."
"Master Zhao understands justice and always thinks of us, but we want to rush into the imperial city and cause chaos to the court and the government. The little old man is really ashamed."
"Yes, we can't hold Master Zhao back anymore. When we go back, we all go back."
The few people who started the trouble were a little panicked when they saw this, and they quickly jumped out and started the rhythm: "Everyone, this is not the truth. Zhao Xun said it lightly and told us to wait, that's because he is the son of the Duke of the country. , will not be attacked by monsters. Maybe the officers and soldiers can finally capture the monsters after rounds of searches, but who knows how long it will take. Any accident is possible in such a long time. Why should we bear the responsibility ourselves? This risk."
Another man who was with him also agreed when he saw this: "Yes, folks, you only have one life. If you die, you will be separated from your loved ones. If the monster is not eliminated for one day, we will go to the imperial city." Live here. Only in this way can we be safe, and only in this way can we save our lives."
Zhao Xun had long noticed that these people were not normal. Seeing how fast they were playing, he concluded that they had ulterior motives.
Zhao Xun wasn't sure if it was the monster's internal agent, but it was absolutely correct to take down these guys.
"Come here, take down these guys who are deceiving others with their monstrous words."
Zhao Xun gave the order, and the Jinwu Guards stepped forward and captured the guys who were instigating trouble and setting the pace on the spot.
Zhao Xun waved his hand coldly: "Take them back to the bad guys."
After these people were gagged and escorted away while swearing, Zhao Xun changed his tone and said: "Fellow folks, don't panic, those people are obviously instigating trouble, I will escort them back to the Yamen carefully. Interrogate and see who is behind them. You don’t have to worry, you can go home first. Zhao promises you that the monsters will be found and they will not hurt you. "
People's hearts are made of flesh, and Zhao Xun's sincere words finally swayed the troubled people.
"Otherwise, let's go back first. It's not easy for Mr. Zhao to see him like this, so let's not make it difficult for him."
"Yes, Mr. Zhao is a good official. We can't cause trouble for him."
"That's the truth. Mr. Zhao is really kind to us. If we were an ordinary official, he would have locked us up and sent us to prison."
"Hey, let's compare our feelings."
Seeing the people disperse one after another, Zhao Xun's hanging heart finally settled.
Just now he was really afraid of a conflict. After all, these were unarmed people.
And in front of them were the Jinwu Guard soldiers who were waiting for them.
The two sides are not at the same level at all. If there is a conflict, it will definitely be these people who suffer.
Strictly speaking, these people have no problem themselves. They just want an explanation. They are just being used and incited by people with ulterior motives, and they are used as weapons.
"Thank you, Mr. Zhao."
When the Jinwu Guards Commander saw the crowd disperse, he hugged Zhao Xun and said, "Master Zhao's grace will never be forgotten."
"You're welcome, it's your duty. I'll take those troublemakers back to the bad guys' office first."
Zhao Xun nodded slightly.
"Please, Mr. Zhao."
Jinwu Wei Zhonglang extended one arm to invite him and made a gesture of invitation.
...
...
Zhao Xun and others returned to the bad people's office in a hurry. Along the way, they tried their best to boast about their wealth, which made Zhao Xun very happy.
"Okay, okay, that's almost it. If you keep blowing it, I'll really think I'm a living god."
Zhao Xun smiled bitterly and said: "I'm just trying my best. As you can see, the people don't have any ill intentions at all. They are all instigated by people with good intentions."
When he mentioned those caring people, Wangcai became furious.
He stamped his feet fiercely and said: "Huh, those guys are really hateful. Brother Mingyun, we are going to interrogate them right now and let them taste the eighteen martial arts of our bad people's yamen. I don't believe it anymore. I have entered the bad guys." People from the yamen can still keep their mouth shut!"
Zhao Xun said leisurely: "Don't worry, let them dry out first."
...
...
The jail of the Delinquents' Yamen is definitely the last place that prisoners want to enter.
It is said that no one who commits a crime and enters the prison for delinquents can come out alive.
These thorny individuals who provoked and instigated the incident were imprisoned and then held in solitary confinement.
According to Zhao Xun's arrangement, they cannot communicate with each other, thus eliminating the possibility of collusion.
However, Zhao Xun did not execute them immediately, but left them alone.
This is Zhao Xun using time and fear to break through their psychological defenses.
In his opinion, as long as the prisoner's psychological defense is broken, the next thing will be much easier to handle.
Wangcai and Jia Xingwen naturally followed Zhao Xun from beginning to end.
They have long been accustomed to this model, with Zhao Xun as the leader and them as assistants. They cooperate properly and complement each other.
"Brother Mingyun, I've been waiting for them for a day. They should be exhausted. I think we can start the interrogation."
Wangcai has been with Zhao Xun for such a long time and has been exposed to it all day long. He has already developed a whole set of habits.
He may still be lacking compared to those interrogation veterans, but compared to the average person, he is already very good.
"Well, let's interrogate one person first. There's no rush."
In the Bad Man's Yamen, Zhao Xun is now like a prince.
Almost everyone knows that the bad guy Feng Haofeng is training Zhao Xun as his successor, so all the bad guys treat Zhao Xun with respect.
After Zhao Xun gave the order, the bad guys immediately took one of the troublemakers out of the solitary cell.
The man's head was covered with a black cloth and his hands were tied behind his back.
At this moment, he no longer struggled, and was at the mercy of others like a dead fish.
"Master Zhao, the prisoner has been brought here."
Zhao Xun nodded and said, "Take off the mask on his head."
"As you command!"
An obedient criminal immediately followed the instructions and took off the black mask from the criminal's head.
"Ah, help, help!"
Suddenly seeing light from the dark environment, the man roared and screamed.
The bad guys on the left and right immediately gave him two big slaps in the face, which made this man a mess.
"I will ask you questions from now on, and I hope you will answer truthfully. If you conceal anything, you know the punishment of the bad guy."
Zhao Xun was full of momentum as soon as he opened his mouth and completely suppressed his subordinates.
The man nodded dully.
"The first question is, who instigated you to instigate the people to fight against the government and the imperial court."
Zhao Xun did not drag his feet, but chose to go straight to the point.
When the key question was asked, a look of fear appeared on the criminal's face.
"I don't know, I really don't know, I don't know anything..."
Zhao Xun knew that his psychological defense had basically collapsed at this moment, so he winked at Wangcai, who immediately understood and said: "Tie Jiaguan."
Compared with some other cruel punishments, being punished by the police is actually quite mild.
But the suppressive power of this punishment is no worse than those bloody tortures.
The prisoner was laid down on his back, and then someone put wet paper on the prisoner's face.
The prisoner felt breathless for a moment and instinctively pierced the paper with his tongue.
"Help, help..."
He shouted for help, but the bad guys ignored him.
They posted another piece of soaked paper.
The prisoner once again tried to pierce the paper with his tongue.
This time it was a bit laborious, but it worked.
This goes back and forth over and over again. After a few rounds, the prisoner loses his strength and feels difficulty breathing.
"I'll ask you again, do you want to say it or not?"
I saw the criminal nodding his head frequently.
Zhao Xun waved his hand, and the bad guy pulled the paper that was stuck on his face.
"I said...I said..."
The man who breathed the fresh air again took a greedy breath.
Zhao Xun didn't urge him. When his breathing stabilized, he said, "Who ordered you?"
"The little people are meeting a strange man. He has a strong back and strong waist, and is covered in tendons. His face does not look like that of a Central Plains person, but rather, he looks like..."
"What does it look like?"
"It's more like the northern barbarians."
The prisoner said with a mournful face: "At that time, this man gave the villain ten taels of silver and asked him to stir up emotions in the neighbors and let them go to the imperial city to cause trouble. The villain was temporarily blinded by lard and confused by ghosts. Only then did I agree to him. Now that I think about it, I really regret it. My Lord, please spare my life. My Lord, please spare my life."
Zhao Xun stared at him coldly, paused and said, "Do you know where this person lives?"
"The villain doesn't know, the villain really doesn't know. After the villain met him once, he never showed up again. He also said at that time that he would give the villain another ten taels of silver when the matter was completed, but the villain really didn't Never seen him again.”
Zhao Xun saw that what he said was very urgent and did not seem to be false, so he waved his hand and signaled the bad guy to take him down.
"Take the next one."
Zhao Xun insisted on holding these people separately and interrogating them individually to prevent collusion in confessions.
He interrogated several more people in succession, and their answers were basically the same as those of the first criminal.
At this point, Zhao Xun could basically believe what they said.
"Ming Yun, these people are obviously rogues in Chang'an City. It is reasonable for the northern barbarians to really seek them to spread the news."
Jia Xingwen has now regained his composure and analyzed seriously: "So in addition to the monsters, there are also more than one northern barbarian lurking in Chang'an City."
Zhao Xun nodded and said: "Yes, this is what I am most worried about. I am more worried about the northern barbarians than the monsters."
Sometimes people are scarier than monsters. Because the terror of monsters is external, visible and tangible.
But the heart is separated from the belly. In many cases, a person may smile on his face but there may be a lot of bad water in his belly.
Bad people don't write these two words on their faces.
It is not an easy task to hunt down the northern barbarians who have sneaked into Chang'an City in a short period of time.
"The monsters are huge, so it's easy to find them, but the northern barbarians can hide in corners. And we can only make secret visits, not overt inspections. Otherwise, it would be unsightly if it causes a disturbance."
Zhao Xun knew that the Zhou Dynasty flaunted itself as an inclusive city. Chang'an City had a population of more than two million, including hundreds of thousands of barbarians.
Among the barbarians there are mixed barbarians from the Western Regions, as well as barbarians from the north, barbarians from the south, and even Japanese people.
The fusion of these people created Chang'an, a metropolis where all nations came to visit.
At this time, a large-scale hunt for northern barbarians will definitely arouse the resentment of many barbarians, and it is definitely not the best choice.
"Then what should we do? Are we just going to watch these monsters do evil?"
"Maybe we can put on a play."
Zhao Xun said lightly.
