Qin Huaidao and his entourage came in a hurry. As soon as they entered the door, they heard cheers one after another. When they turned around, they saw a fight in the open space next to them. Many people were watching and cheering. Cheng Chumo screamed the loudest, waving his fists and wishing he could go on stage. Yuchi Baolin shouted angrily.
What.
"Are they... training troops?" Luo Zhang asked uncertainly.
"Don't worry about them, put down the body and go report. It should be too late. Don't mess around if it's too late. Just go there next time and arrange the mountain guard team and come over yourself." Qin Huaidao warned.
Luo Zhang agreed and hurried away.
Cheng Chumo noticed Qin Huaidao coming in, hurried over, and explained sheepishly: "Sir, the brothers are sparring to enhance their relationship. What is this?" He said and looked at the corpse.
"Find a place to put it down, and continue to spar. Pay attention to propriety, and don't hurt your hands or legs or kill anyone." Qin Huaidao warned, for soldiers, fighting is conducive to unity and improves combat effectiveness, but it should not be excessive.
"Follow the order!" Cheng Chumo agreed excitedly when he saw that Qin Huaidao had no objection.
Yuchi Baolin also ran over, looked at the body and asked, "What is going on?"
"You two have never left here?" Qin Huaidao asked back. Seeing the two of them shaking their heads, he explained: "No wonder you two don't know. I'm afraid there's a huge quarrel outside. They are my murderers. You two go back home and ask.
Your father will give you his opinion and then come back."
The two of them realized something was wrong. There were too many guards around them, so they couldn't ask more questions, so they nodded solemnly.
Qin Huaidao went straight to the backyard and met Liu Da who was guarding Cui Shihai.
Liu Da also saw Qin Huaidao and hurriedly came up to salute and said: "Sir, the people inside seem to be crazy. They have been begging for a whole day and are willing to recruit anyone at any price. They asked their subordinates to talk to him, but they did not dare to answer the question.
.”
"You did a good job, guard it, don't let anyone get close." Qin Huaidao praised, went directly to the miscellaneous room, pushed the door open, and opened the cellar cover. The light below was dim and the smell was soaring. Cui Shihai stayed there for a few days.
All kinds of excrement can only be dealt with on the spot, and it is difficult to avoid smelling.
When Cui Shihai saw the cover open, he rushed over from the corner and shouted anxiously: "Don't leave, please give me something to eat or just talk to me."
The voice was weak, and there was a hint of longing in the panic.
A person is locked up in a dark cellar, with a range of less than three square meters. He can't see or hear anything. Even the excrement can only be disposed of on the spot. He seems to be isolated from the world. He is still thinking about his sins and all kinds of things.
I can't suppress my thoughts at all, and I only think about the bad aspects. It's hard to think without breaking down.
Qin Huaidao saw that the other party's eyes were red and his hair was disheveled. He was on the verge of a mental breakdown. If he were to be locked up any longer, he would definitely go crazy, so he asked, "Cui Shihai, do you know me?"
Cui Shihai looked in the direction of the cellar exit. After getting used to the light, he recognized Qin Huaidao. He knelt down and begged for mercy: "Sir, please do a good job and give me a knife. I will tell you whatever you want to know. Stop torturing him."
"Tell me, who ordered you to threaten those coachmen?"
When Cui Shihai heard these words, he suddenly regained consciousness and hesitated to speak.
"Why, if you don't want to say it, then shut it up and come back when you want to say it." Qin Huaidao stood up deliberately, as if he was ready to leave.
Cui Shihai thought about the terrible experience of the past two days. How could he dare to go through it again? He didn't even want to stay in the cellar for a moment. It was too terrible. It was simply torture. He quickly begged for mercy: "I said, I said, it was the master's order."
"Master Cui Ren?"
"Yes, it's him, he asked for it."
"Why?" Qin Huaidao asked.
Cui Shihai hurriedly said: "It seems that I want to take the brick-burning method and offer it to the prince. I'm not sure whether it's true or not. I'm just the side brother, not the principal brother. I can only follow orders and I'm not qualified to have too much contact."
"Prince, are you sure?" Qin Huaidao's pupils shrank suddenly, it was the prince again.
Cui Shihai quickly explained: "I'm not sure. I invited Cui Youwei for a drink once and he spilled the beans while he was drunk. He refused to tell me when I asked again and even scolded me. I guess it's true."
Qin Huaidao's eyes became cold. He had heard before that Li Jing mentioned that the prince wanted to build a house, but the cost was too high and he could not start the construction. He could save a lot of money by getting the brick-burning method, but the Cui family supported King Wei. Why?
Take action, unless... Thinking of some possibility, Qin Huaidao asked: "The Cui family belongs to the prince?"
"I don't know how I am qualified to have access to such secrets, but Cui Youwei asked me to do some things before. I checked afterward and found that they were all related to the prince." Cui Shihai said quickly.
Qin Huaidao understood a little. The Cui family openly supported the king of Wei and secretly supported the prince. He stepped on two boats and made bets on both sides. No matter which side would ascend the treasure in the future, it would be beneficial to the family. In order to help the prince build a house and save costs, he started seizing the fire.
The idea of the brick method can also allow the family to master an additional wealth-making skill.
As for the King of Wei, he probably heard some rumors and took action.
Thoughts flashed through his mind. Qin Huaidao was angry and asked: "Is there any evidence left?"
"How dare you leave any evidence? Isn't that just asking for death?" Cui Shihai looked bitter.
"It was you who burned the coal mountain?"
Cui Shihai went all out and said truthfully: "I forced a person who was responsible for cooking to add medicine to the food. Cui Youwei said that it doesn't matter how many cart drivers are killed. No one will care about the death of a lowly person, but Luo Zhang's identity is sensitive and he cannot kill people.
To prevent the impact from being too great, I burned the mountain and killed the driver to put pressure. As for how to get the brick-burning method, I don't know. I was only responsible for doing the dirty work. I didn't expect that there would be another wave of people sneaking into Qinjiazhuang.
"
Qin Huaidao asked a few more questions, but Cui Shihai knew there was a limit and seeing that he couldn't ask anything, he said: "Cui Shihai, you have been abandoned by your family and become an abandoned son. Do you know what it means?"
"I know, I just ask you to be lenient and let my family go."
"What are the benefits of my position?"
Cui Shihai hesitated for a moment and said: "The person responsible for contacting Cui Youwei is a personal guard around the prince. I conducted a secret investigation. By chance, I found that this guard had secret contact with the housekeeper of Prince Wei's palace. The matter is too big to dare to do it again.
Check, but I suspect that this guard is actually someone sent by King Wei to accompany the prince."
"Guard?"
Qin Huaidao asked in surprise. Seeing Cui Shihai nodding, he suddenly thought of something and asked Liu Da, who was guarding from a distance, to bring charcoal and paper. After indicating for him to leave, he sharpened the charcoal and sketched the deceased in the villa last night. Then he handed it over and asked
: "Take a good look, is it this person?"
"Yes, even he, sir, also knows about this?" Cui Shihai asked in surprise.
Qin Huaidao ignored it and was filled with shock. He was actually the prince's personal bodyguard. No wonder there was a token. However, this person was still a member of the King of Wei. Could it be that the villa was the prince's property and those dead men were also the prince's people. The King of Wei deliberately
Let the guards take the prince's dead soldiers to attack, attract yourself to investigate, and provoke a fight with the prince?
Even the suicide of the guard was part of King Wei's plan. With the identity of the guard and the East Palace token, even though Zhuangzi didn't register it, if he really checked carefully, he would know that it belonged to the prince. In addition, there were hundreds of dead men and he also had a crossbow.
, and the assassination of Duke Yi of the current dynasty and the governor of the Supervisory Office. Once exposed, the government and the public were shaken. Li Er could not suppress it at all, so he could only remove the prince, and he might even die, while the king of Wei reaped the benefits.
If necessary, the King of Wei can also force Cui Shihai to confess his crime and tell him that the assassination of the coachman and Shaomeishan were also ordered by the prince. If he continues this attack, the prince will definitely die!
No one would doubt King Wei, and King Wei only lost one of his bodyguards.
Even if some people doubt it, King Wei can openly admit that he really wanted to bake bricks, but he just sent someone to buy it and offered it over 50,000 yuan, but was rejected.
At this moment, Qin Huaidao somewhat understood why the King of Wei would offer to buy it. If he could buy it, it would be the best. If not, he could pave the way for subsequent plans and clear out the relationship.
