Chapter nine hundred and eighteen(1/2)
The commander-in-chief of a million Liao army was assassinated, and this case was solved. This kind of thing is often accompanied by a heavy curtain, and the inside story is so thick that even if you use a laser, you can't penetrate it.
The eagle dogs of the empire will naturally not let go of such an opportunity to show their wisdom and loyalty. During the process of showing, they will only understand the truth, and the means used are completely beyond their consideration.
The punishments used in Dongchang and Jinyiwei Prisons back then will only be carried forward in the hands of these people. It is said that the former Fusi Yamen of Jinyiweinan Town recently developed a new type of torture instrument called the electric chair.
As long as you tie a person to it and connect two wires, it will definitely make you want to die and regret coming to this world.
Perhaps the legend was so shocking that when the commander of the garrison heard the news of the assassination, he immediately shot himself in the head with his sidearm.
The bullet entered through the lower jaw and exited through the back of the head. Half of the entire skull was missing. He persisted in unconscious twitching for a few times before kicking his legs.
The military affairs section chief also wanted to shoot himself in the head, but unfortunately there were four burly men sitting across from him. They were all looking at him affectionately like wolves looking at prey.
At a certain moment, the military affairs section chief could even feel that they were looking at a certain part of himself. Because a certain part would suddenly feel a little hot.
These people are masters of torture. If you are targeted by them, you will definitely regret being born even if you don't go to the electric chair. If you are lucky enough to escape from them or escape, the first thing they will do is not thank God, but curse their mother.
.
Naturally, it was not the police officers in Jinzhou's turn to take action on Tianzi's No. 1 major case. As soon as Luzhu received the news, she rushed to Jinzhou with her people. She arrived even more than Ao Canghai.
earlier!
"Are you the Chief of Military Affairs?" Luzhu's beautiful eyes were still staring at the person in front of her.
Having worked in this line for a long time, my experience is naturally unparalleled. I am a mule or a horse. I don’t need to drag him out, I only have a rough idea.
Such beautiful eyes, but the look inside makes people feel the slightest chill. If I had to use one animal to describe it, it would be a snake. Yes, it is the sinister look that only snakes have.
Anyone would feel uncomfortable being stared at with such eyes.
My throat was so dry that swallowing saliva became extremely difficult. There was a slight sweat on my forehead, and my fingers were trembling unconsciously.
Everything shows that the man with the rank of major in front of him is very scared.
"Raise your head! Answer!" Seeing the Chief of the Military Affairs Section, Quail must have lowered his head and did not dare to meet Lu Zhu's eyes. Lu Zhu yelled loudly, making the Military Affairs Section Chief tremble all over.
"Pfft!" The military affairs section chief fell to his knees on the ground without saying a word, banging his head on the ground as if he was pounding garlic.
"Excuse me! I really don't know. I really don't know anything. Please, please, please spare me. Don't even think about assassinating the commander-in-chief. I don't even dare to think about it.
Just a moment!
I, Zhao Cungen, am a farm boy, and it is not easy today. Please show me your noble hand, please show me your noble hand!" Zhao Cungen, the chief of the military affairs section, spoke incoherently and only kowtowed.
The wooden floor made a "dong" and "dong" sound as he knocked it, and the floor made a helpless "creak" and "creak" sound.
"It's no problem to show your respect. I'm always very kind to people who are willing to cooperate. As long as you tell me what you want to know, I guarantee that you will be fine."
Looking at the wet crotch, you can tell that this person is scared out of his wits.
"You ask, I will tell you everything I know."
"Get up first!" Luzhu changed her face and pulled Zhao Cungen to stand up. When she got close to Zhao Cungen, wisps of fragrance penetrated along Zhao Cungen's nose.
Perhaps because he asked about the smell of the perfume, Zhao Cungen seemed to be in a better mood.
"Zhao Cungen, don't the sentry guns in our garrison usually have bullets?" Luzhu looked at Zhao Cungen and spoke in a gentle tone like the spring breeze in March.
"On weekdays, there are usually three people standing guard. One is the squad leader. The other two people, one holds a gun and the other holds bullets. There are only five bullets in the magazine. In case of a situation, this is actually used to warn.
This is not only true for us in Jinzhou, but also for the whole of Liaodong." Zhao Cungen replied in a straight-forward manner.
"Oh! Why is this happening?" Luzhu didn't expect that the garrison area is doing this now.
"Actually, it's not just our garrison that does this, almost all the troops in Liaodong and other places with guns do this.
Veterans who have been on the battlefield before are disgusted by shooting guns, so naturally they will not have much interest in guns. But most of the current soldiers are recruits and have never been on the battlefield.
They were very curious about guns, and they fiddled with them as soon as they got them. Bullets often went off in their hands. In addition, people were injured. Over time, they came up with this method.
The person who keeps the bullets keeps the bullets, and the person who carries the gun carries the gun. They also gave this a name, called bullet separation." After recovering, Zhao Cungen stuttered a little at first, and then the more he spoke, the more he slipped.
"Then why don't the sentries have even a single live ammunition in their hands today?"
"The general is coming today, and everyone has been busy working for more than ten days in advance. Commander Hou said that we should treat the general with respect, and the sentries cannot carry live ammunition. They just carry guns for show, in case something happens.
The handsome man is no joke."
"You start working more than ten days in advance?" Luzhu frowned.
"Yes! I received the notice half a month in advance that the marshal is coming to our garrison for a rest. In the past, when marshals came to our Jinzhou, they usually stayed in the garrison.
Of course, those on guard are soldiers from our garrison. But the internal guards are entirely taken care of by people from the Marshal’s Guard Battalion. We can’t get close at all!”
The notice was received half a month ago, and everyone was mobilized to clean it up. According to Zhao Cungen, every time Li Xiao inspected Jinzhou, he stayed in the garrison area.
In other words, as soon as a thoughtful person sees such actions in the garrison, he can guess that Li Xiao will come to Jinzhou within about half a month.
This has to be said to be a flaw in the behavioral model!
In half a month, the assassin had enough time to get a fifty-kilogram bomb onto the rooftop. As long as it was covered with canvas and no one was detecting it, the trap would never be exposed.
Besides, it’s the garrison. Even though I don’t dance with guns anymore, I don’t know whether I know the young recruits who were just recruited.
"Who knows the news that the Marshal is coming to Jinzhou?"
"Commander Hou, then it's me. Deputy Commander Hu is on vacation, and Deputy Commander Zhang has gone to the capital for a meeting. Commander Hou is the only official in the family."
One sergeant and two mates, the standard equipment of the Liao army garrison.
"Who else knows besides you?"
"Then we have to ask the confidential room. There are several people in the confidential room who should know. They received the telegram and they were the ones who translated it."
"Oh! Then tell me, why is there a fifty kilogram bomb on the rooftop? A man carrying a hundred kilograms of stuff upstairs, and even on the rooftop. There is no way no one noticed it!"
Luzhu just checked the building where the accident happened. This building is opposite the building where Li Xiao lives. But it is two floors shorter than the building where Li Xiao lives. If you stand on the top floor of the building where Li Xiao lives, you can clearly see the rooftop.
situation above.
A fifty-kilogram bomb couldn't appear out of thin air. Someone must have transported it up there. Luzhu even suspected that the reason why it was a fifty-kilogram bomb was not a hundred kilograms or more.
of five hundred kilograms.
That's because a person can only carry fifty kilograms of bombs.
The rest, whether it is the 100 kilogram level or the 500 kilogram level, is beyond human power.
Then the more likely thing is that the bomb was smuggled up last night.
Thinking of this, Lu Zhu felt that the military affairs section chief in front of him seemed to be unjust. Because starting from the day before yesterday, the defense here has been taken over by Li Xiao's guard battalion.
This matter is definitely not something that a small military affairs section chief like him can do.
But if this is the case, then what happens next is even more frightening. There is a mole in the guard camp. Otherwise, it is impossible for the people standing on the roof to not see that someone is moving bombs to the terrace.
It is estimated that the building where Li Xiao is located is too tightly guarded, otherwise these people will definitely drop the bomb on Li Xiao's buttocks. At that time, as long as he presses the start button, Li Xiao will not be able to escape even if he has the ability of Daluo Jinxian.
"Control the guard camp immediately, especially those who were guarding the rooftop last night." Lu Zhu ordered, and a burly man bowed to Lu Zhu and walked out.
"Uh...!" At this moment, Zhao Cungen seemed to have remembered how terrifying the person in front of him was. One thought can determine one's life, one thought can destroy one's death. This is the kind of person in front of him.
Even Li Xiao's guard camp dared to bribe him. It is estimated that the Ming court will cause another bloody storm.
"What kind of good friends does your Commander Hou have, or what kind of confidants do you have in the garrison?" After hesitating for a moment, Lu Zhu still used the word confidant.
Sometimes, it takes a lot of heart and soul to be a confidant.
"Commander Hou, he often doesn't leave the house on weekdays. Even when he does go out, it's just to look for elixirs and elixirs." Zhao Cungen replied quickly.
"He practices Taoism?" Green Pearl's eyes sparkled.
"Yes! Commander Hou said that he is done serving as an official. If he survives for more than ten years until he retires, he will devote himself to cultivating Taoism. If he can cultivate immortality, wouldn't it be a happy thing in the world? The imperial court must
I'll support this bad old man like him for the rest of his life."
"Yeah!" After listening to Zhao Cungen's words, Luzhu nodded.
Great! One more family has been added to the list of suspects. I just don’t know whether it is Jiangxi Longhu Mountain or the Quanzhen Longmen Sect in the capital that takes the blame.
But this thing is simple. If they really did it, for the prosperity of the Taoist sect, they can only cooperate with the Li family. It is a pity that Li Hu is dead, otherwise this position may be Li Hu who has been pestering Li Xiao for a long time.
"Think carefully, if there is anything else you haven't said, if there is anything, tell him and he will convey it to you." Luzhu pointed at the man who looked like a king.
"promise!"
"Sir, I have been wronged. Sir, I have a merciless request." Seeing Lu Zhu turn around to leave, Zhao Cungen suddenly rushed over and hugged Lu Zhu's calf.
"If you still want these claws, then let go." Rarely, Lu Zhu spoke in a questioning tone.
Zhao Cungen immediately let go of Lu Zhu's calf and knelt on the ground in horror. Watching Lu Zhu walk out of the door, he looked back and saw that there were still four burly men in the room, looking at him as motionless as sculptures.
After walking out of the door, Lu Zhu saw Ao Canghai walking from the other end of the corridor.
"What did you ask?" Ao Canghai saw Lu Zhu and asked directly without even saying hello.
"The garrison commander you recommended is a monk. His wish is to live forever and have the court support him for the rest of his life."
"This...!" Ao Canghai choked on the green pearl. He did not expect that the person he recommended was actually such a thing. Thinking back then, this man named Hou was also a man who fought with blood and fire on the battlefield.
Why did you believe it?
Ao Canghai knew that Li Hao was now in Jiangnan, taking care of Buddhism and Taoism together. The benefits here were astonishing, and it was normal for him to have undue thoughts about Li Xiao if he was so greedy for profit.
