While talking, the group of people came to Xiaochang Road.
From a distance, I saw Zhu Xiucai, Cui Youxian and others standing outside a heavily guarded compound, confronting a group of heavily armed guards.
Liao Zhongshu, who was wearing a civil official robe but carrying a sword, led several scholars who also wore swords, Juren, and stood together with Zhu Xiucai, Cui Yougui and others.
Dongchuan Hou Shizi walked forward quickly and yelled at the guards guarding the prison: "What are you doing? Hurry up and put away your weapons! I let you stay here to guard against foreign enemies and Xiaoxiao, but
It’s not about guarding against the Red Envoy and Liao Tixue.”
Then he saluted Liao Tixue respectfully: "Students are late, please forgive me, Master Tixue."
Although Dongchuan Hou Shizi had practiced martial arts since he was a child, his family also hired a great Confucian to teach him, and he was awarded the title of scholar. When he saw the official who was in charge of the civil affairs of the state, he could indeed call himself a student.
Qin Shaoyou also handed over to Liao Tixue, and just as he was about to say hello, he saw several guards running out of the prison in a hurry. They did not dare to come over, so they could only run towards a person who looked like a prison guard and whispered a few words.
.
Because they were far away, no one on the left or right heard what the guards said, but Qin Shaoyou, who turned on [Listening], heard it very clearly.
What those guards said was: "Boss, it's bad, all the prisoners in cells A, D, and Geng are dead!"
Qin Shaoyou raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and said to himself: "The people detained in these three cells must be the three generals involved in the crime, right?"
Just as he was guessing, he saw the cell leader's expression changed drastically, and he exclaimed: "What? Are they dead? How could they be dead?!"
"What are you arguing about? Who died?"
Dongchuan Hou Shizi followed the sound, and his expression became a little ugly at this moment.
Obviously, he had the same guess as Qin Shaoyou.
After all, there are not many prisoners detained here, and other prisoners will die if they die, so the cell boss and prison guards will not be so nervous.
"Little Marquis..."
The prison head glanced at Dongchuan Hou Shizi, then at Liao Tixue, Qin Qiaoer, Qin Shaoyou and others, but hesitated to speak.
When Prince Dongchuan saw his appearance, he wanted to strangle him to death immediately.
It would have been fine if you hadn't exclaimed just now, but now you are hesitant. Do you want others to suspect that the death of those three generals was our fault?
Dongchuan Hou Shizi stared at him. Where could he find the elegant demeanor that he deliberately showed when he saw Liao Tixue? He was so close to fucking his mother, he gritted his teeth and said: "Say! Who is dead! Don't hesitate, otherwise it will delay the military situation."
deal with!"
The cell leader was startled and said hurriedly: "It's... it's Zhang Hu. Zhao Long and Wang Han are dead."
These three people were the generals involved.
Seeing that his guess was correct, Prince Dongchuan was anxious and angry. He walked quickly towards the prison and asked at the same time: "How did they die?"
The prison boss couldn't answer, so he could only turn his attention to the prison guard who reported the news.
But the guards also didn't know the whole story, so they replied tremblingly: "Little Marquis, we don't know why they died. They were all fine before. Although they were injured due to torture, we
They are all treated with drugs to save their lives, and there is absolutely no deduction at all..."
"A bunch of trash!"
Dongchuan Hou Shizi gritted his teeth and interrupted the words of these prisoners.
What I want to know now is the cause of death of Zhang Hu, Zhao Long and Wang Han, not your self-defense about whether you withheld medicines, let alone tell you about my torture of them in the past two days!
Qin Shaoyou, Qin Qiaoer and others, as well as Liao Tixue and several scholars and judges, all followed Dongchuan Hou Shizi immediately.
This time, the jail guards who had been trained did not dare to stop them anymore and let them in.
Zhu Xiucai followed Qin Shaoyou, quietly nuzzled his lips towards the furious Dongchuan Hou Shizi, and whispered: "Sir, in your opinion, who was responsible for the death of the three generals involved in the scandal?"
"Probably not."
Qin Shaoyou thought quickly in his mind.
"If they wanted to kill these three people, they would have killed them long ago. We still can't find fault. After all, Dongchuan Hou is the commander-in-chief of the Qingtang Front. Those three generals made a big mistake. It is reasonable to question and kill them before the battle. Why choose
At this moment, is it just to arouse suspicion?"
Zhu Xiucai nodded and flattered: "Your analysis is reasonable and reasonable."
Cui Yougui suddenly interjected: "Is there a possibility that they have analyzed your analysis and deliberately chose this moment to kill people and silence them, so that you think they will not do this, so as to dispel your doubts about them?"
"Where are you baking the thousand-layer cakes?" Zhu Xiucai rolled his eyes at Cui Yougui and said angrily, "Then why didn't they do it before?"
"Perhaps it's because they didn't get the information they wanted through torture before? Didn't those guards just say that in the past two days, the Prince of Dongchuan was still interrogating the three generals involved in the scandal. Very soon.
Obviously, they still didn't gain anything, and seeing that they couldn't stop us, they simply killed people and silenced us."
Qin Shaoyou squinted his eyes, thought seriously, nodded and said: "This guess made by the old Taoist is not impossible. Xiucai, go and ask the guards to see who the three generals met before they died, and what happened.
What happened?"
Zhu Xiucai nodded and said yes, and immediately walked towards the frightened prisoners, displayed his social skills, and started chatting with them.
Soon, Qin Shaoyou and the others followed Dongchuan Hou Shizi and walked into the prison.
Qingtang Guard's prison is much inferior to the Demon Suppression Division's prison, both in terms of hardware facilities and staffing.
As soon as they entered the prison, everyone immediately smelled a complex smell mixed with various odors.
Fortunately for the red-clothed envoys, those scholars and Juren who came in with Liao Tixue had never suffered such a crime. They almost fainted from the stench that hit their foreheads.
In comparison, Liao Tixue didn't react at all. It can be seen that not only his cultivation level, but also his state of mind is beyond these scholars, and he has many talents.
Seeing that these talented people were indeed unable to resist, Liao Tixue shook his head and said: "You guys, you still need to hone yourselves more." But he was still kind-hearted and helped cast a mantra: "It's like entering a house of abalone.
, I won’t smell the smell for a long time.”
Those few scholars and Juren, under the influence of the power of mantra, gradually stopped feeling the smell and got used to the smell in the prison.
However, this power word technique still has some side effects. It may turn people into odor seekers, and they will not be happy without odor...
At this time, the experienced red-clothed envoys had already rushed into the cell where Zhang Hu, Zhao Long and Wang Han were imprisoned. While keeping an eye on Dongchuan Hou Shizi and others to prevent them from destroying the scene, they took out various equipment,
I started to check the body and the situation in the cell, which is called professionalism.
Judging from the appearance, although Zhang Hu, Zhao Long and Wang Han had many external injuries caused by torture, none of them were fatal, and these three people were indeed given healing and life-threatening drugs.
But soon, some clues on the corpse aroused the alertness and attention of the red-clothed envoys.
"These are traces of witchcraft."
Qin Qiaoer pointed to some small red spots on the corpse's neck, chest and inner arms. He then pinched open the corpse's mouth and pulled up its tongue, revealing the petal-shaped ecchymosis on the bottom of the tongue. He judged: "It's the life-killing curse of the Qingtang wizard."
!”
"So, Qingtang is killing people and silencing them?"
In addition to anger, Dongchuan Hou Shizi's tone also contained a bit of fear.
Perhaps sensing that something was wrong with his reaction, Dongchuan Hou Shizi hurriedly added: "These three bastards actually colluded with Qingtang. They deserve to die! We interrogated them before, but they still refused to admit it.
It really betrays our trust in them, and it also betrays the court's kindness to them!"
