Huangfu Jianchang did not look at Shi A, and struggled with pain on his face. He suddenly stood up, walked to the side, rummaged through the box and found half a rope, came to Shi A, and tied him behind his back without saying a word.
Shi A was stunned for a moment, and then said calmly: "Mr. Huangfu has been very kind to me. You also ventured into the palace for me. I won't blame you for sending me out. Take good care of my wife and children, and don't tell them." this matter."
"Shut up!"
Huangfu Jianchang gritted his teeth and shouted, took out a piece of blood cloth, blocked Shi'a's mouth, then turned him over, pulled the quilt and covered him.
After doing this, I walked out without looking back.
Shi'a, who was under the quilt, understood immediately, struggled hard, and screamed.
He was too injured and tied up to do anything.
Huangfu Jian grew out of the door, closed it and locked it, asked his servants who was coming at the back door, strode, or even trotted toward the backyard.
Huangfu Jianchang's eyes were astringent, and tears flowed out uncontrollably. He gritted his teeth and said, "Dear his parents, I will be a good person and do my best today!"
Huangfu Jian arrived at the back door and saw Pan Yin, dressed in regular clothes and smiling.
Huangfu Jianchang forced a smile on his face, raised his hand and said: "I have seen the Great Changqiu."
Pan Yin did not put on any airs and said: "Second Young Master, please."
Huangfu Jian's scalp was numb and his smile became even more ugly.
…
When Pan Yin took Huangfu Jianchang away, in the southeast corner of the imperial city, in an inconspicuous courtyard that had been abandoned for several years, a group of strange people appeared recently, and even craftsmen came in and out.
In a temporarily cleaned room in the backyard, it was filled with torture instruments. Ye Zhou and Peng Ye were tied to the torture frame, their hair disheveled and covered in blood.
Zuo Li stood in front of them, with a smile on his fair face, the kind of joy that came from the heart.
He took a small dagger and gently poked it into Ye Zhou's chest, stared at Ye Zhou's face, and said, "Who paid for the head?"
Ye Zhou suddenly raised his head, his eyes widened angrily, his neck was as hard as iron, and he suppressed the pain and said loudly: "Ah... I don't know, I don't know! Only Bowser knows!"
Zuo Li turned his dagger slightly, looking at Ye Zhou's even more miserable screams, his expression became more and more joyful, and he said: "I don't believe it... you don't know at all."
"I really don't know! Ah... maybe Captain Sili knows... kill him!" Ye Zhou roared, his tied arms struggling violently.
Peng Ye watched from the side, his legs trembling, his face full of fear.
Not to mention him, even Huang Men and the chamberlain behind Zuo Li shuddered when they saw it.
Zuo Li gently pulled out the dagger and saw Ye Zhou lowering his head suddenly. He raised his chin with the dagger, looked into his eyes and said, "Who is the person who sent the letter to Dong Zhuo?"
Ye Zhou was in great pain and gritted his teeth and said, "I don't know this. It's not my turn to know this kind of thing."
"You really don't know my methods."
Zuo Li's face turned gloomy, and his eyes flashed with a dangerous light.
Peng Ye immediately shouted: "We really don't know. Bowser is hiding it from us. Please let us go. We will work for you..."
Zuo Li glanced at him and said, "Last question, where did the confiscated family property go when it was transported out of the city?"
Ye Zhou and Peng Ye's expressions changed immediately. They stared at Zuo Li, their lips slightly opened, showing surprise, fear, and hesitation.
Ye Zhou's mouth was bleeding and he scratched his neck and said: "We are only responsible for packing the boxes and transporting them out of the city. There will be people outside the city to pick them up. As for where they are going, we don't know."
Zuo Li lowered his head, wiped the dagger, and whispered to himself: "Hundreds of thousands of dollars, so many treasures, even dozens of carts may not be able to transport them. If you want to deceive others, you will definitely use disguises. In the end, I'm afraid there will be hundreds of people. You can blame it on Bowser, but as long as I cast a wider net to investigate, I will easily find clues. It's just a waste of some time..."
Peng Ye started to look panicked and looked at Ye Zhou.
Ye Zhou gritted his teeth, his eyes widened, and he was obviously struggling.
"Ah"
Zuo Li suddenly laughed, his pale face becoming colder and colder, and said: "This is my first time to interrogate people, so you are a little unskilled, and this place has not been built yet."
Ye Zhou and Peng Ye felt cold and felt a very strong sense of uneasiness.
Zuo Li raised his head and glanced at the two of them, and said calmly: "Tear off their skins, don't let them die. I still have something to ask them."
"Yes!" Several jailers were trembling in their hearts.
Peng Ye shuddered and saw several warders starting to light fires and sharpen their knives. He yelled at Zuo Li: "This is the only thing I know about the manor thirty miles south of the city!"
Zuo Li looked at him and then glanced at Ye Zhou.
Ye Zhou's face twitched and he didn't speak.
Zuo Li smiled, turned around and said: "Peel slowly, don't let them die!"
Hearing this, Peng Ye struggled desperately and roared: "You little eunuch, I will kill you!"
Zuo Li ignored it and walked out of the cell door. Listening to the screams inside, he said excitedly and solemnly: "Call everyone, bring the guys, put on night clothes, and wait for my order!"
"Yes!" Everyone who followed him out knew that he was going to catch a thief and take advantage of him!
This is fat!
At the same time, Liu Bian was sitting in a sedan chair and visiting the Han Dynasty Palace.
This was his first time visiting the palace.
Sitting on the sedan chair, swaying, Liu Bian looked in front of him, but his heart was inside and outside the palace.
There is He Jin in the palace, the Yuan family outside the palace, Dong Zhuo in the east of the river, and the Yellow Turban Army in chaos further away.
'Internal and external troubles... there are so many things to do...' Liu Bian said to himself.
Unknowingly, we arrived at Shizhonglu, the southernmost palace of Nangong.
As you can tell from the name, this used to be a place where the chamberlains rested and discussed matters.
Liu Bian sat down cross-legged in a side room, holding a teacup in his hand, took a sip, and smiled at Huangfu Jianchang, who was kneeling not far in front of him, and said: "I was a little anxious that day, and I forgot to ask you about your news. , how did you get it?"
Huangfu Jianchang knelt on the ground, his expression tensed, and he was extremely nervous. He said calmly: "Your Majesty, it was the villain who was drinking with a few people from the Yulin Army, and they made a mistake while drunk."
Liu Bian listened to his seemingly reasonable lies and said casually: "Yes, not bad. I will tell you something. From now on, you can drink more in Luoyang City and find out some news. Write down whether it is useful or not, and report it to Da Changqiu. , If you do a good job, your ten million yuan will be free."
Huangfu Jian was startled. He thought of many excuses and ways to deal with it along the way, and he was even ready to fight a wave of severe punishments.
This, this is it?
Liu Bian rested for a while, stood up and said, "Okay, let's go."
Huangfu Jian was filled with doubts and uneasiness. He wanted to ask a question, but reason told him not to talk too much. He said quickly: "Yes, I will leave."
Liu Bian watched him leave and said to Pan Yin, "Pay attention to him and see if he is someone who can accomplish something."
"Yes." Pan Yin responded, and glanced at Huangfu Jianchang, whose back was about to disappear, and suddenly said: "Your Majesty, I heard that many people have submitted letters of resignation."
Liu Bian raised his eyebrows, not surprised. The most panicked people now should be the relatives and the remaining eunuchs. As for the others, they might not feel at ease either.
