Chapter 105: The shocking case, Gu Jinnian went mad, killed hundreds of officials, and transferred a
Bailu Mansion.
When the cavalry entered the city, it looked extremely cold.
A hundred thousand troops gave Gu Jinnian endless power.
The last time he came here, Gu Jinnian finally understood what it meant to live under someone else's roof.
But this time, Gu Jinnian came to follow the rules of Bailu Mansion and Jiangling County.
City gate entrance.
When Gu Jinnian said that he would be punished by one hundred battles.
He immediately panicked. After a hundred battles, half of his life would be lost.
But these soldiers don't care. In front of them, military orders mean everything. Even if you are the prince, as long as someone gives the order, they will follow it without fail.
Immediately, Xu Ping was forced onto the torture device, his hands were tied, and he could not move at all.
"Gu Jinnian."
"This matter has nothing to do with me. She went crazy because she was grudged because of her daughter's disappearance. It has nothing to do with me."
"Gu Jinnian, do you know what you are doing?"
"You resorted to lynching. This is a serious crime. The Ministry of Rites will not let you go."
"Gu Jinnian, ouch."
Xu Ping kept struggling and speaking. Although it was not threatening to Gu Jinnian, these sounds were also a threat.
Snapped.
However, these soldiers did not give Xu Ping any chance.
Hit Xu Ping directly on the butt.
Heart-rending screams rang out on the spot.
This is a military stick.
This is not an ordinary instrument of torture. If you hit it with a stick, normal people will turn purple and blue. Even these soldiers cannot withstand the military stick.
With just one blow of the stick, Xu Ping was speechless and could only scream like a slaughtered pig.
Looking at all this, Li Ji's scalp was completely numb.
"Hit me, hit me hard."
Li Ji was extremely excited and then looked at these officials.
"Uncle Jinnian, these people are not much better. They used to bully us everywhere. Can we fight together?"
Li Ji was extremely excited.
Half a month ago, when they came to Bailu Mansion, they were restricted everywhere, and they were very angry. Now they brought an army of 100,000 to suppress this place. This tone was completely out of control.
He took off happily.
However, he has not forgotten the people who have offended him.
As soon as they heard Li Ji speak, all the officials looked ugly.
"We are here to handle executions, and we cannot execute people without reason."
Gu Jinnian spoke up, making the officials relax a little.
But the next sentence made all the officials numb.
"However, child abduction and trafficking occurred in Bailu Mansion. You and others are not doing their job well, which is really a dereliction of duty."
"Here comes someone."
Gu Jinnian's voice was cold. He remembered every one of these officials and couldn't even think of running away.
"The end will be here."
In an instant, Wang Peng opened his mouth and said with cupped fists.
"Arrest all officials above the seventh rank of Bailu Mansion and execute them on the spot, each with thirty battles."
Gu Jinnian spoke up with an indifferent expression.
"The general will obey the order."
Wang Peng didn't care at all. With a wave of his hand, hundreds of elite troops were dispatched and captured hundreds of officials directly.
"Your Highness, this matter has nothing to do with us."
"Your Highness, please spare your life. I am sixty-two this year. If I get these thirty sticks, I will really die."
"I beg you, Your Highness, to spare your life."
All of a sudden, there were screams of pain, and every one of them had no backbone at all.
But it's not that they have no backbone.
Look at the strong-minded people on the side. One of them was whipped and is still grinning.
One was tied to a stool, almost bleeding from the beating, and the screams were terrifying in his ears.
Facing everyone's begging for mercy, Gu Jinnian showed no signs of weakness.
These people eat delicacies from the mountains and seas every day and take countless supplements. There is really nothing wrong with thirty sticks. They just want to be miserable.
Without Gu Jinnian's order, the soldiers would not care so much and would just beat anyone they caught.
As soon as the stick went down, a hundred screams sounded out.
Crying for father and mother.
Looking at all this, Li Ji felt completely relieved, and half of his anger was gone.
As for Su Huaiyu and the others, they watched quietly.
About a quarter of an hour later.
The execution is over.
"His Royal Highness."
"Many people have fainted. Do you want to wake them up?"
Wang Peng spoke, and after the execution, many people fainted directly, but Gu Jinnian could see that they were pretending to be faint.
"Need not."
"Hit whoever is stunned until he wakes up. If he can't wake up, let him never wake up for the rest of his life."
Gu Jinnian was very confused.
Since we have dispatched a hundred thousand troops, there is no need to be timid here.
There is a saying that goes well, either you won't provoke someone, or if you do, you'll be beaten to death.
Otherwise, a hundred thousand troops are dispatched just to show off their face?
really.
As soon as he said this, all the officials who were pretending to be dizzy opened their eyes and burst into tears. It was really painful.
But as Gu Jinnian thought, this group of people looked old, but they all had their mouths full of oil and were not in good physical condition.
The most important rule of being an official is to live a long life.
These people are more proficient in maintaining health than anyone else. Maybe even the emperor is not as good as them. They only have thirty military sticks, which cannot kill anyone.
But Xu Ping was different. When a hundred military sticks were hit, he collapsed on the stool, his eyes were lifeless, his buttocks were full of blood, and he didn't have any fluids at all.
"Gu Jinnian."
"You are cruel enough."
"I have recorded this whip."
"I didn't make any mistakes. I just asked you a question, but I got such a shock."
"When the matter is over, I will go to Beijing and file a complaint against the imperial court. I will be beaten to death in the palace hall."
At this moment.
Kong Zhen's voice sounded, his body was shaking, and his words were filled with tears and anger.
He is a great Confucian scholar.
Highly respected.
Who in the world would not give him face?
Although he doesn't have an official position, he won't be whipped like this just for saying a word, right?
Gu Jinnian was merciless. The whip left a deep bloody mark on his face. If not handled properly, it might leave a scar.
Follow him for life.
But pain is not the main thing.
Humiliation is.
What a huge humiliation.
"Stop pretending in front of this prince."
"So what if I give you a whip?"
"My prince is doing things according to the decree. You don't have an official position. You are here to make irresponsible remarks. You should behave yourself when you open your mouth and behave yourself when you shut your mouth. This prince is here to tell you what it means to behave properly."
"If you dare to be nagging again, believe it or not, I will whip you again."
Gu Jinnian hated Kong Zhen to the extreme.
There is no other reason.
This matter had nothing to do with him. After he came to Bailu Mansion, he originally wanted to investigate in secret and not cause any trouble.
As a result, Kong Zhen insisted on coming forward, staring at himself, and then secretly supported Xu Ping.
Use a guide to disgust yourself.
This kind of person is even more hateful.
Although the two families had a grudge, if they used this method to disgust themselves, Gu Jinnian would use another method to disgust him.
Hearing Gu Jinnian's cold voice.
Kong Zhen was not afraid, but instead roared angrily.
"Then you kill me."
"I'm right in front of you, so what's the point of beating me?"
"Kill me if you can."
"I want to see how strong the grandson of Duke Zhen is, and whether he can kill people whenever he wants."
"I am a great Confucian scholar, do you dare?"
Kong Zhen spoke almost hysterically.
There was anger in his eyes, but more importantly, he was fearless.
He didn't believe that Gu Jinnian really dared to kill him.
"Here comes someone."
Listening to the other party's yelling, Gu Jinnian didn't hesitate.
"The end will be here."
Wang Peng spoke up again, but he was still a little nervous inside.
Kill a great scholar?
He is also a great Confucian scholar.
Isn't this a bit exaggerated?
However, the military orders were overwhelming. If Gu Jinnian really wanted him to kill Kong Zhen, he really had nothing to say.
"Tie Kong Zhen in the middle of the city gate, gag his mouth, and give him a whip every half an hour. No one is allowed to be released without my military order."
"On the side, put down the word "Kong Dog".
The voice sounded, making Wang Peng relax a little.
As long as you don't kill the great scholar, everything else is fine.
But as soon as he said this, Kong Zhen's face became extremely ugly.
"Gu Jinnian."
"Just kill me."
"If you have the ability, just kill me."
Kong Zhen roared.
He was tied to the city gate and whipped every half an hour. This was to humiliate him and ruin his reputation.
This is a huge humiliation.
Especially the word "Kong Dog" made him unbearable.
This is simply humiliation, a huge humiliation.
However, Gu Jinnian ignored him, and Wang Peng immediately blocked his mouth with a piece of cloth.
He was afraid that he would really offend Gu Jinnian and lead to death.
"His Royal Highness."
"The main thing is to check the eucalyptus."
At this moment, Su Huaiyu spoke in Gu Jinnian's ear.
Now I'm angry.
The most important thing is to check.
"kindness."
Hearing Su Huaiyu speak, Gu Jinnian nodded.
"Brother Su, you lead five thousand elites to Pingyang County to investigate Zhang Mingyu. All those involved will be summoned to Bailu Mansion."
"Including Zhang Ming's neighbors or relatives, all of them were summoned and given a silver subsidy."
Gu Jinnian spoke up.
He asked Su Huaiyu to investigate the case and bring the person here.
At the same time, he looked at Fairy Yaochi and said.
"Fairy Yaochi, lead a thousand people to Jinping Silk and Satin Manor to investigate the whereabouts of Brother Wang."
"Fairy Yunrou, please lead a thousand people to Qingyuan Temple to see if there is anything strange."
Gu Jinnian spoke up.
Going to Pingyang County requires a little more manpower.
To investigate Wang Fugui's whereabouts, it is enough to bring a thousand people. After all, the overall situation is under control, and there is no need to worry about the other party playing tricks.
As for the Qingyuan Temple, this temple was mentioned in the letter given by Wang Fugui.
Secondly, he purchased information through gold. One of the information given by the ancient tree was about Qingyuan Temple.
There are some problems with this Qingyuan Temple.
And when it comes to Qingyuan Temple.
The half-dead Xu Ping couldn't help but have a trace of panic in his resentful eyes.
But no one noticed it.
The three of them didn't hesitate and took the people away directly.
"Uncle Jinnian, what should I do?"
Seeing that the three of them were doing something, Li Ji was a little curious and asked Gu Jinnian what he was doing.
"Follow me and do this."
Gu Jinnian spoke out, then looked at the Bailu Mansion officials and said directly.
"Take them to the government office."
"Wang Peng, asked the soldiers to beat gongs and drums in the city, saying that the imperial court had sent imperial envoys, and asked the people to gather in the government offices to redress the injustices."
Gu Jinnian ordered.
When dispatching an army of 100,000 people, Gu Jinnian was betting that there was something shocking in Bailu Mansion, and that Zhang Ming was hiding a huge conspiracy.
If the bet is right, then the merits and demerits will be offset and nothing will happen to you.
But if the bet is wrong, you will really be in trouble.
Fortunately, with Li Ji by my side, I don't feel lonely.
"The general will obey the order."
Wang Peng did not hesitate and directly ordered the soldiers to publicize it.
The officials were also forcibly detained in the government offices.
"Xu Jin."
"Accompany your grandson to this woman's home and ask the neighbors how she went crazy."
Gu Jinnian said.
"good."
"Uncle Jinnian, don't worry, I promise to complete the task."
Li Ji was very excited when he heard that there was something to do.
Watching Li Ji leave.
Gu Jinnian led his troops into the government office.
The army directly guarded the area around the government office to maintain order. Gu Jinnian walked into the government office and sat at the front seat.
Standing on both sides were generals, extremely majestic.
As for the officials, they all stood uneasy, but could not say a word for a long time.
Xu Ping also seemed silent.
Gu Jinnian's move was something no one expected.
Dispatch an army of 100,000 people.
It's also really crazy.
But what he wants more of is the future. Why did Wu Wangzhi give Gu Jinnian the military talisman? Did he have no idea?
He simply did not believe that the emperor would hand over the dragon talisman to Gu Jinnian. No matter how much the emperor doted on Gu Jinnian, it would not be possible. As for the Ministry of War, he would not hand over the tiger talisman to Gu Jinnian.
If you really want to investigate a big case or do something, there are so many talented people in the court, do you need to rely on Gu Jinnian?
But it's useless to say anything now.
Gu Jinnian held military power and acted arrogantly. To put it harshly, Gu Jinnian really pissed off Gu Jinnian and cut off his own head in a rage.
Wouldn't that be unlucky for you?
Looking back, Gu Jinnian will only be punished at most. He is the grandson of Duke Zhenguo and the only male in the Gu family for three generations.
Unless he usurps the throne and commits rebellion, no matter what he does, Gu Jinnian cannot be killed.
And who do I think I am? I still have some status in Jiangling County and can be regarded as a high official. But looking at the Great Xia Dynasty, I am just a prince.
To put it bluntly, Gu Jinnian's killing of an ordinary person would definitely cause more controversy than killing himself.
Therefore, he did not dare to speak and did not want to speak.
It takes about less than one stick of incense.
Outside the government office.
Many people appeared one after another.
But these people stood outside the government office, not daring to go in. They looked at Gu Jinnian from a distance and took stock of the scene inside.
Seeing this scene, Gu Jinnian spoke directly.
"Spread the word."
"Those who are wronged can go directly to the government office to redress their grievances, and the imperial envoy will give them justice."
Gu Jinnian spoke up.
Have someone go outside and spread the word.
At that moment, some soldiers walked out quickly and conveyed what Gu Jinnian said.
In an instant, someone came in.
A man and a woman are a couple.
After the two entered, they knelt down directly with a pop, then looked at Gu Jinnian and cried loudly.
"Master Imperial Envoy, I beg you, Master Imperial Envoy, to be kind and look for our daughter."
Cries sounded.
The two of them seemed a little panicked and seemed to want to say something, but after entering the government office, they knelt on the ground and cried out that they were wronged.
Missing?
Hearing this, Gu Jinnian couldn't help but frown.
Why is it another missing case?
Before Gu Jinnian could say anything, figures soon appeared one after another, and he learned that the imperial envoy was there.
The people almost swarmed in. Thirty or forty people walked in. After entering the government office, they knelt on the ground and cried loudly. They all said almost the same thing.
"I beg you, sir, to send troops to look for our granddaughter."
"Sir, my daughter has been missing for more than a month. The government has been keeping the case open for so long and they don't have a clue. They can't do anything without spending money."
"Please, sir, please find my daughter. She is only six years old. My wife sheds tears every day. My mother is seriously ill in bed because she lost her granddaughter. Please send troops to inspect her."
All kinds of cries sounded at this moment.
The entire government office suddenly became noisy.
But these officials all lowered their heads, as if they didn't dare to face it.
See this scene.
Gu Jinnian couldn't help but frown.
Cases of missing children occurred every day in the Xia Dynasty. After all, the cost of trafficking was low.
This is also very normal.
But in Bailu Mansion, it’s a bit unreasonable for so many children to go missing in one go, right?
And most of them are girls?
Only a few say the missing one is a boy.
"quiet."
Gu Jinnian knocked on the gavel tree.
Wait until the government office is quiet.
He looked at Xu Ping and others.
"How many times have children gone missing in Bailu Mansion this year?"
Gu Jinnian opened his mouth and questioned Xu Ping.
The voice sounded.
Xu Ping did not answer, but looked at another official. This was the government official, equivalent to the head of the criminal department of Bailu Mansion.
Feeling the gazes of Gu Jinnian and Xu Ping, the latter swallowed and spoke slowly.
"Twelve days since the establishment of the eucalyptus."
He spoke out, and after saying this, he lowered his head and did not dare to speak.
boom.
In an instant, Gu Jinnian slammed the table, his eyes full of anger.
"Twelve months since the establishment of the eucalyptus?"
"Are you treating me as a fool?"
"There are far more than twelve people reporting here alone."
"How much exactly."
Gu Jinnian roared angrily.
He had a vague feeling that there was a huge eucalyptus hidden in Bailu Mansion, and it was definitely not a small eucalyptus.
It involves a lot.
"Returning to the crown prince, there are only twelve cases. As for the others, I really don't know about them."
"The lower officials only act according to the rules."
The latter looked at Gu Jinnian with a sad face and said this.
"rule?"
"What the hell is this rule?"
"People are gathering here, complaining endlessly, and their children are missing. Instead of making an announcement, you talk to me about the rules?"
"Are the rules of your Bailu Mansion bigger than the laws of Daxia?"
"I would like to ask you one last question, how many children are missing in Bailu Mansion?"
Gu Jinnian asked sharply.
There was fire in his eyes.
As soon as these words came out, the latter was still secretive and couldn't say a word for a long time.
Look at the other person speaking hesitantly.
Gu Jinnian took a deep breath, this was really amazing.
At this point, are you still so tough on your words?
"Here comes someone."
Gu Jinnian spoke with cold eyes.
"The end will be here."
At this moment, all the gangsters spoke together, their voices loud and clear.
"Drag this man down, behead him, and inform all the people of Bailu Mansion."
"If a child is missing, come to the government office immediately and tell the people that the imperial court is aware of the matter and will send an imperial envoy to redress the grievances of the people."
Gu Jinnian spoke up. He didn't talk nonsense and just beheaded the man in public.
"My lord, my lord, please forgive me, my lord, please forgive me. This matter has nothing to do with this official."
"Please forgive me, sir."
As soon as he heard about the beheading, the latter immediately panicked and started crying for his father and mother on the spot. He knelt on the ground and begged Gu Jinnian to forgive him.
"His Royal Highness."
"This is absolutely impossible."
"You sent troops here to investigate, but I gave in."
"I know that His Highness the Crown Prince is angry because we delayed doing things a few days ago."
"We already know our mistake, but no matter what, we still ask His Highness the Crown Prince to spare someone."
"It is a huge mistake to kill an official of the imperial court. Even if His Royal Highness does not think about himself, he must think about it for the Duke of the country."
"Now in the court hall, all the officials are quarreling about the expedition, and the Duke is very worried. If His Highness, the Crown Prince, behaves like this, I am afraid that the Duke will be even more miserable."
"Your Highness, please think twice."
Xu Ping spoke and was completely moved.
Gu Jinnian wanted to fight, but they had no choice. It didn't matter how many times he got beaten.
But killing is different.
If anyone contradicts Gu Jinnian and challenges Gu Jinnian and is killed, then he deserves to be punished and will not survive because of his own misfortune.
But killing someone for official duties is different.
Once this fierce power is established.
Then all officials will be in panic.
Seeking death and being killed are two different concepts.
He would never allow it.
"Shut your mouth, my prince."
"If you dare to be nagging again, I will kill you too."
"You don't think I dare not, do you?"
"I dare to dispatch an army of 100,000 people. Even if I kill all of you, I will not be afraid."
"Drag it down."
Gu Jinnian doesn't play the cards according to the opponent's rules at all. If he kills you, he will kill you. There is so much nonsense with you.
Not convinced?
If you don't accept it, you can also dispatch an army of 100,000 people.
See who can beat whom?
As soon as this statement came out, everyone's expressions became extremely ugly.
The latter was paralyzed with fear. When the soldiers came and dragged him away, he was completely frightened.
"Your Highness, I say, I say."
He cried and opened his mouth, not daring to hide it at all.
"It's too late to say it now."
"kill."
Gu Jinnian threw out the order.
What can a criminal agent know?
He wants to scare the monkeys now, and let these people know that he will only ask once, and if anyone dares to play tricks on him again, he will die.
really.
When Gu Jinnian said these words, all the officials showed fear in their eyes and their bodies could not help but tremble.
Gu Jinnian is too cruel.
The killing aura is too strong.
As for these generals, they were all silent. They were only surprised.
I thought that Gu Jinnian was the most powerful person in Daxia and he should look like a rich man, but I didn't expect that Gu Jinnian would kill so decisively.
He is worthy of being the grandson of Duke Zhen. As expected, dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes give birth to phoenixes.
The grandson of the Duke is just different.
The person was dragged down.
There is no emotion at all.
And the people kneeling in the government office looked extremely excited.
Although they didn't know who Gu Jinnian was, seeing Gu Jinnian killing so decisively, they seemed to see hope for a moment.
At that moment, everyone shouted "Gu Jinnian Qingtian".
Facing the people's shouts, Gu Jinnian did not feel happy at all, but said solemnly.
"Fellow folks, don't worry. Today, I will investigate to the end. Please don't worry."
Gu Jinnian spoke up, he was extremely serious.
This case is definitely not as simple as it seems on the surface, and he wants to get to the bottom of it.
After receiving Gu Jinnian's answer, the people became even more excited.
It's as if hope is right in front of you.
"Mr. Xu Fu."
"I would like to ask again, how many missing cases are there?"
The next moment, Gu Jinnian looked at the other party.
Xu Ping didn't dare to speak.
He looked at the other official again.
Because he really doesn't know how many there are.
When Xu Ping looked at him, the latter couldn't help but curse in his heart, but this time he didn't dare to be verbose.
"Return to His Majesty the Crown Prince."
"There were about 300 cases before and after, and only 12 cases were approved."
The voice sounded.
Gu Jinnian was stunned on the spot.
More than three hundred cases?
Is this a joke?
More than 300 children are missing and there is no movement at all?
You could say that twenty or thirty people go missing a year, which is reasonable. After all, children disappearing very frequently in ancient times.
But more than 300 people disappear in a year. Isn’t this unreasonable?
And they are all children.
If you say there are no ghosts here, who will believe it?
"Sir, you must not be deceived by these corrupt officials. There are definitely more than 300 of them."
"At least five hundred children have disappeared throughout the house. We know this, but we don't know about other places."
"Sir, we and other ordinary people all suspect that there are bandits in Bailu Mansion who specialize in luring children. They must be related to these officials and sell these children to the border to work as slaves."
"A Daxia slave is worth five hundred taels of silver in the Xiongnu country. If it is a girl, it is worth three thousand taels. Even a handsome one is worth more than five thousand taels."
"Please be careful, sir."
An old man trembled and knelt on the ground, directly exposing the other party's lies, and said so.
Even if this news reaches Kyoto, the court will be shocked.
The total population of Bailu Mansion is only one million, of which newborns account for at most one and a half percent.
In other words, out of 10,000 children, 500 are missing?
Missing and dying are two different things.
The disappearance of five hundred children would cause panic in the entire Jiangling County, but the court had no news of such news.
sharp.
Amazing.
"Xu Ping."
"You are so brave."
"There are more than 500 people missing in the mansion you are in charge of, and they are all children. How dare you not report it to the court? You are really tired of living."
Gu Jinnian spoke, looking at Xu Ping with cold eyes.
As soon as this was said, the latter immediately responded.
"Your Highness, this matter is not as simple as Your Highness thinks."
"These more than 500 people have been missing one after another for about a year. The lower officials are always paying attention, sending people to conduct night vision patrols, and even search for missing children."
"Not reporting it is not because I want to hide it, but because I want to find some clues and then report it to the court. The file has already been prepared and will be submitted at any time. Can His Highness the Crown Prince watch it?"
Xu Ping opened his mouth.
Obviously, he is passing the blame.
"dont see."
“What’s the point of backing up a file?”
"You are awesome enough."
Gu Jinnian looked at the other party coldly, and then he looked at Wang Pengdao.
"Wang Peng, ask these people to write down the time and place where the children were lost. You order three generals and send 20,000 troops to search for the children around Bailu Mansion."
“Dig three feet into the ground and don’t miss any place.”
"As soon as any problem is discovered, a thorough investigation will be carried out immediately. If anyone dares to stop him, he will be killed without mercy. He can be killed first and then reported. There is no need to report."
Gu Jinnian immediately became angry.
It's not because of Xu Ping's inaction.
But more than five hundred children are missing. If they can be found, everything will be fine.
But if it is sold to the Huns, it will be really troublesome.
The Xiongnu Kingdom, Fuluo Dynasty, and Dajin Dynasty have really liked to buy Daxia slaves in recent years.
In particular, the women of Daxia were loved by the nobles of the Xiongnu, Fuluo and Jin dynasties because of their water spirit, and they were purchased as slaves.
After I left, life was worse than death.
Men are even worse off. They are slaves when they are young, and when they grow up, they are sent directly to black kilns or mines. After everything is squeezed out, they may even be captured and tested for medicine.
This kind of thing has been suppressed by the imperial court of the Great Xia Dynasty in recent years, and the Ministry of Rites has been constantly negotiating with it.
But it can't be stopped repeatedly.
After all, the benefits are too great. A boy under ten years old can be sold for one hundred to five hundred taels of silver, while a girl can start at two thousand taels.
Daxia is also cracking down on human traffickers, but the effect is not strong.
Profit drives many shady industries.
very scary.
Also very scary.
"Follow orders."
Wang Peng spoke. After hearing this, he felt a fire in his heart. He immediately ordered three generals to die and issued a death order. He must investigate to the end.
Digging three feet into the ground, we still have to find it, find Daxia's child.
in this way.
Time passed little by little.
More and more people came, and Wang Peng went to count them.
About two hours later.
Wang Peng came over with a gloomy look.
"His Royal Highness."
"The preliminary inventory has been completed. As of now, there are up to 1,257 missing children."
Wang Peng spoke.
Tell the reason for his gloomy look.
In an instant, the whole hall was in an uproar. Even these battle-hardened soldiers were completely shocked at this moment.
One thousand two hundred and fifty-seven children disappeared?
Isn't this too exaggerated?
And this is just Bailu Mansion.
Jiangling County is not just a prefecture.
At this moment, everyone knew that this was a big deal.
A large piece of eucalyptus that could shock the court.
Gu Jinnian couldn't help but tremble.
He looked at Xu Ping and others.
I really can't say a word.
To be honest, if I was disgusted with them before, it was because these people were causing trouble for me and disgusting me.
But now, Gu Jinnian is filled with hatred, so deep in his bones.
"Are you really not afraid of implicating the nine clans?"
At this moment.
Gu Jinnian spoke in an almost growling voice.
He looked at the officials.
I wish I could kill all nine of them now.
From the beginning there were twelve people, to three hundred people, to five hundred people, and now to over one thousand two hundred people.
Although there are fewer people reporting the disease now, people are still coming one after another, which means that the final number may be as high as 1,500 people.
So many people are missing, yet they still dare to hide it.
Logically speaking, the military camp should take over and conduct a thorough investigation. Whose responsibility should be put aside. The key is to find the children.
"You deserve to die!"
"Damn it!"
"Damn it!"
Gu Jinnian pointed at the noses of these people and roared.
children.
It is the future of Daxia, the hope of Daxia, the foundation of Daxia, and the foundation of a country. If someone targets them, they want to destroy the foundation of Daxia.
Listening to Gu Jinnian's filial piety.
Officials, you look at me and I look at you. They lowered their heads but did not dare to speak.
Even some officials did not expect that so many people were missing, and their faces were as pale as gray.
They knew clearly that no matter what punishment Gu Jinnian would receive, they would definitely be finished. It might not even be enough to kill him, and it was very likely that the Nine Clans would be implicated.
"Your Royal Highness, please forgive me. I am just a temporary official. I am confused for a while."
"Your Highness, please forgive me. I will send someone to investigate thoroughly now and I will definitely give an explanation."
"I hope His Highness the Crown Prince will spare his life."
At this moment, these officials couldn't sit still anymore and knelt on the ground. They endured the pain of being beaten and knelt on the ground, kowtow and begged for mercy.
They panicked.
Completely panicked.
As for Xu Ping, he was very calm. He stood aside and didn't know what he was thinking.
It was at this time.
A figure walked quickly.
It's Li Ji's figure.
His face doesn't look very good either.
Looking at Li Ji with such a heavy expression, Gu Jinnian couldn't help but frown.
He knew that there was bad news coming again.
"How was the inquiry?"
Gu Jinnian asked.
"Uncle Jinnian."
"Asked clearly."
"That woman, after the quarrel at the banquet."
"He was indeed put back."
When Li Ji spoke, his words were a little heavy.
"It's only been two days."
"Someone sent a package to her house."
"After she read it, she went crazy."
Li Ji took a deep breath and there seemed to be tears in his eyes.
"what?"
Gu Jinnian clenched his fists, vaguely guessing something.
"Her daughter's hands."
"And two eyes and two ears."
Li Ji spoke with a tremor.
In an instant.
Quiet.
Quiet.
Deathly silence.
Gu Jinnian was stunned.
He stood up and froze.
A woman.
She was pregnant for ten months and gave birth to her daughter, who then worked hard to grow her up.
Watching my daughter grow day by day.
Although life is poor and miserable, there is still some warmth in ordinary life.
But suddenly one day, his daughter disappeared.
Go to the Yamen to cry and beg.
Search everywhere.
After searching hard for many days to no avail, he tried every means possible, even breaking into the banquet of a big shot. Even if he was punished, he did not want to give up this glimmer of hope.
But I never thought of it.
A few days later, I saw my daughter's hands, eyes, and ears.
How cruel does this have to be?
How terrible must this be?
Ordinary people can't bear it, let alone a mother?
How does this not drive people crazy?
In the lobby.
Extremely quiet.
After Li Ji said this, he couldn't help crying.
As a grandson, he enjoys glory and wealth. He has heard about the sufferings of the people, but where has he heard of such sufferings among the people?
"Xu Ping, I will fuck your ancestors for eighteen generations."
this moment.
Li Ji yelled, clenched his fists, rushed towards Xu Ping, and hit Xu Ping's facade with a hammer.
He was originally very excited, but Gu Jinnian sent him to do something.
He investigated carefully.
But after the investigation, he felt extremely painful. If he only heard about this matter, he would be sighing.
But this matter can be regarded as something he participated in.
A few days ago, he saw a woman coming to ask for help, but what he didn't expect was that such a human tragedy would happen two days later.
How can he not be angry?
The fist fell and Xu Ping screamed, but no one around him tried to stop him, and no one dared to stop him.
Li Ji was really furious.
After a few punches, he bleeds instantly.
But so what?
Even if I kill Xu Ping, can I get this girl's life back?
Hate.
An unspeakable emotion filled Gu Jinnian's chest.
"Wang Peng."
"Take another 20,000 soldiers and check them for me."
"Ten thousand people will go to surrounding cities and towns to ask the people if there are any missing children."
"Ten thousand will increase the intensity of the investigation. I will dig deep into the ground to find these children."
"Check it out thoroughly for me."
"I don't want the process, I just want the result."
"besides."
"I will escort all the main officials of Jiangling County to Bailu Mansion."
"It's an escort."
"do you know?"
Gu Jinnian was really angry.
Originally, he didn't want to make the matter too big, so he could just settle it in Bailu Mansion.
But now, he knew that this matter was far beyond his expectation.
He wants to catch all the officials in Jiangling County and kill the whole family of anyone who participates in this matter.
Not so much nonsense.
More than a thousand children disappeared and it was a serious crime to conceal the disappearance.
Now that such appalling things are happening, this is a capital crime.
Gu Jinnian could tolerate selling children, after all, he could find a way to get them back.
But this method is simply inhuman.
"Follow orders."
Wang Peng took a deep breath, and he was also shocked.
But before he could move, Gu Jinnian's voice sounded again.
"Send another 200 men and horses, rush to the Shankui military camp, and tell Wu Wangzhi to send me an additional 100,000 men."
"Tell him, if I don't send 100,000 more horses, I will kill all the officials in Jiangling County. Your Majesty will not be able to stop me if I go crazy."
"I said!"
Gu Jinnian raised his head, with murderous intent in his eyes, a terrifying and terrifying murderous intent.
His murderous intention was not against Wu Wangzhi, but against these beasts.
He is really going to collapse.
He is really going crazy.
If Wu Wangzhi doesn't send anyone, he guarantees that an earth-shattering incident will occur.
Fuck the rules.
Fuck the law.
If anything happens, Gu Jinnian will bear the responsibility alone, even if it means death, he will not hesitate.
Hearing this, Wang Peng couldn't help but swallow.
He could see that Gu Jinnian was really crazy.
Send another 100,000 troops?
General Wang will definitely not agree.
But what he knew even more was that Gu Jinnian absolutely meant what he said.
"Follow orders."
Wang Peng didn't waste any time and directly led two hundred men and horses to the Shankui military camp.
Don't dare to delay for a moment.
"Xu Ping."
The next moment, Gu Jinnian stood up, pushed Li Ji away, and grabbed Xu Ping, whose face was covered in blood.
"I will make you a promise now."
"Tell everything."
"I can make your death less painful."
"The woman just saw me, and two days later she saw the remains of her daughter."
"It must be you who are doing something secretly."
"You confess now."
"I can promise to keep your body intact so that you can leave happily."
"Otherwise, I will make your life worse than death."
Gu Jinnian roared angrily.
The saliva splashed on his face.
But in the face of Gu Jinnian's roar.
Xu Ping shook his head slightly, his eyes blurred, but there was still a trace of ridicule in his eyes, looking straight at Gu Jinnian.
"I don't know."
"And this matter is definitely not something that the Crown Prince can find out."
obviously.
He has great confidence.
And he must have huge concerns, so he didn't dare to say it, not even to death.
"good."
"This is your choice."
Gu Jinnian took action and injected a burst of true energy into his body.
He couldn't move, let alone bite his tongue and kill himself.
Gu Jinnian let him know what cruelty is.
"Lee Ji."
"You speed two thousand cavalry."
"Run to Kyoto."
"Inform your Majesty of this matter."
"Notify my grandfather and Mr. Wenjing again."
"Within one day, this matter will spread throughout Kyoto, do you understand?"
Gu Jinnian pulled Li Ji, then lowered his voice and asked him to return to Beijing quickly to deliver the message.
Xu Ping is not afraid of death. He must have a powerful figure behind him. This 100,000-strong army may not be able to make a comeback.
He must let Li Ji return to Kyoto.
Let His Majesty know about this.
Otherwise, you are likely to run into trouble again.
"good."
Li Ji, who regained his senses, nodded immediately and left without any further words.
in this way.
In the government office.
Gu Jinnian took a deep breath, trying to calm down.
Boom.
Thunder exploded in the sky.
It seemed to foreshadow a terrible crisis.
soon.
The army left from around Bailu Mansion, searched the children, and went to other prefectures and cities to investigate information.
Li Ji rushed to Kyoto with two thousand elite troops.
Wang Peng rushed to Shankui Camp with two hundred people.
Xu Jin took three thousand elites and rushed to Jiangling Mansion to arrest people.
All parties work together.
in this way.
Half a day passed and it was already late at night.
Wang Peng came to the military camp.
"Report!"
"My general, the crown prince's military order, will be supplemented by an additional 100,000 troops."
Wang Peng entered the military camp, spoke directly, and bowed to Wu Wangzhi.
In the military camp, seven or eight people were sitting and discussing some military matters.
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but frown in an instant.
"Send another 100,000?"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so loud. Do you really think that the military camp belongs to his family?"
"Tell him, it's impossible, why send another 100,000? Now that you've sent 100,000, it's already given the crown prince face. What are you thinking of sending another 100,000?"
"If we send another 100,000 people, once there is a crisis in Jiangling County, it will be impossible to suppress it. It's impossible."
"Hu Lai, even in Hu Lai, even if the Duke of Zhen comes in person, there is no way he can dispatch so many soldiers. There are no tiger talismans or dragon talismans. One hundred thousand soldiers and horses are given. It is enough. Do you want to add another hundred thousand?"
All of a sudden, various sounds rang out in the military camp.
All the generals refused.
I heard before that they were already very dissatisfied when Gu Jinnian dispatched 100,000 generals, but after all, it was Wu Tongjun who agreed.
It's hard for them to say anything.
Now add another hundred thousand? Isn’t this a joke?
In the military camp, Wu Wangzhi's face was also extremely cold.
"Go back and tell His Highness the Crown Prince that one hundred thousand dollars has already given him face."
"It's simply impossible to add another hundred thousand."
Wu Wangzhi didn't look good.
Even when he dispatched 100,000 troops, he had to report to the court. Gu Jinnian was already giving him a lot of face by being so messy.
Want to add more? Do you really think you are the best in the world?
It's no use even if the prince comes.
Hearing these remarks, Wang Peng felt a little uncomfortable, but he continued to speak.
"General."
"There is a big problem in Bailu Mansion. More than 1,200 children have disappeared one after another this year, which is very involved."
"The officials of Bailu Mansion protect each other and deceive the superiors and deceive the inferiors. Only then will His Royal Highness add another hundred thousand troops."
Wang Peng spoke up.
As soon as the words fell, the camp became quiet for an instant.
"More than 1,200 children disappeared?"
"What are you talking about? How is this possible?"
"With so many children disappearing, Bailu Mansion didn't report it to the court? Who did you listen to?"
"This is impossible? Xu Ping doesn't want his life?"
At this moment, even the generals like them couldn't sit still.
More than a thousand people disappeared, and they were all children? This is not a disappearance, and both the government and the public were shocked.
"It is absolutely true. The people came to report the death penalty, and it was the general who personally signed the death penalty. There is absolutely no lie."
He couldn't believe it when Wang Peng said it, but it was the truth.
In this way, the military camp became completely quiet.
Wu Wangzhi also frowned.
He thought for a while, then slowly spoke.
"Even so, we cannot send an additional 100,000 troops."
"However, we can send 3,000 more people to assist in the search."
This is Wu Wangzhi’s answer.
Add another hundred thousand, and this is simply impossible.
At this point, Wang Peng had absolutely nothing to say, so he could only bite the bullet and speak.
"General."
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said so."
"If you don't agree, he will kill all the officials in Jiangling County, regardless of guilt or innocence."
Wang Peng didn't dare to look up when he spoke, but these were Gu Jinnian's original words and he had to say them.
hiss.
In an instant, everyone in the military camp gasped.
Kill all Jiangling County officials?
What is this going to do?
Do you want to break the sky?
If Gu Jinnian really dares to do this, a huge earthquake will occur in the Great Xia Dynasty.
How many people will this involve?
If we include the families of these officials, there would be at least 50,000 or 60,000 people, right?
If Gu Jinnian did this, everyone present would not have a good time, especially Wu Wangzhi. Regardless of whether this matter had anything to do with Wu Wangzhi or not, he was over and could go home to prepare for his funeral.
Yes.
Wu Wangzhi's face turned ugly.
Extremely ugly.
He didn't expect that Gu Jinnian would be so cruel and use this trick to force himself.
"I want to see if he dares to kill him."
"It's really crazy."
Wu Wangzhi stood up and clenched his fists tightly.
He eats soft things but not hard things.
"General."
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince absolutely dares to do so."
"The final general saw a terrifying murderous intention in the eyes of His Royal Highness."
"Moreover, there was a woman whose daughter was missing and she sought redress from His Highness the Crown Prince. As a result, two days later, someone sent her daughter's mutilated body over."
"His Royal Highness has gone crazy."
"The general can use his head as a guarantee if he doesn't send troops."
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really dares to slaughter all the officials."
Wang Peng raised his head, his eyes firm.
He believed that Gu Jinnian dared to do this.
He could see the look in someone's crazy eyes.
He was frightened by the look in Gu Jinnian's eyes at that time.
So he completely believed it.
As soon as this statement came out.
The military camp fell into complete silence.
Wu Wangzhi also fell silent.
What he said just now was angry.
He doesn't dare to gamble.
"Fuck."
"Send troops, send troops."
"Go back and tell Gu Jinnian."
"Everything is borne by him."
"Also, officials are not allowed to be killed without evidence."
"Crazy, crazy, really crazy."
King Wu was extremely angry.
But he could only compromise.
What to do if you don’t compromise?
Gu Jinnian went crazy and wanted to die himself.
He regrets it now.
I regret why I believed Gu Jinnian’s words.
Why should you keep a steady hand?
Now, something big is really going to happen.
"The general will obey the order."
Wang Peng didn't hesitate, took the military talisman again, left the military camp directly, and went to mobilize troops.
he knows.
The Great Xia Dynasty was about to face an unprecedented turmoil.
During the Yongsheng years.
The greatest turmoil after the difficulty of building morality.
It’s even very possible, not one of them!
Gu Jinnian.
