Su Yizhao looked at Chu Huan who didn't even have the strength to scream. He was so bloody that it hurt even to look at him.
Chu Huan reluctantly raised his lips, "Actually, I'm curious, why do you know that he will come to me tonight? How do you know that we will send someone to assassinate you?"
"You still want to ask such a simple truth?" Su Yizhao shook his head, "Of course it's because I don't believe you anymore."
"Did you forget that carrier pigeon? I am very familiar with your house, which proves that I often go to your house. In other words, you are in constant contact with your upline, and you are not waiting for him to take the initiative to contact you as you said."
"What about the assassination? Do you still doubt the authenticity of the note? After all, I will be under your nose after I go back and can't spread the news. So why do you think the news he sent about meeting is false?"
Chu Huan was puzzled. How did Su Yizhao know that someone was going to assassinate him tonight?
"Because there is a unique mark on the bamboo tube!" Su Yizhao smiled slightly.
Chu Huan was shocked, "How did you know?"
Su Yizhao spread his hands and said, "Actually, I just guessed."
"There is a notch on the bamboo tube, which is a bit deep, as if it was carved intentionally. Therefore, I guess that the content on it must be false. As for whether someone assassinated me today, I can also guess. To put it in perspective, I will do my best as soon as possible.
It’s normal to remove the stumbling blocks.”
Su Yizhao asked the secretary to prepare. Kang Shiwen looked Su Yizhao up and down, and suddenly felt that this boy had some abilities.
It turned out that the emperor called him to the imperial study and asked him to assist Su Yizhao in handling the case. At that time, he was completely unwilling.
Su Yizhao is just a sixth-grade editor, but he is a third-grade official. How can he be allowed to obey Su Yizhao's orders?
Therefore, he has always been very unconvinced with Su Yizhao. He did not expect that Su Yizhao could catch the leader of horse dealers in the capital so quickly.
"There are also horses and iron, where are they hidden?" Su Yizhao only found one place on the outskirts of the city, and there were only twelve horses in it.
"No, there were only twenty of them originally, and we haven't started selling them yet! You guys caught them."
Su Yizhao nodded, and then said behind him: "Master Kang! Please tell me what you investigated during this period and help him recall it."
Kang Shiwen held up an account book on the table and couldn't help but admire it.
"Just in the capital city, in the past half month, fifty-three households have added horses to their homes, for a total of one hundred and thirty-three more horses."
As Kang Shiwen spoke, he snorted coldly: "I have led people to check the yamen records. These families are all newly added this month, and some of them have no origins at all."
"So what? This doesn't mean that the horses were bought from me." Chu Huan said without raising his head.
The imperial court has strict control over horses and cattle, but you only need to file it with the government. If there is really no origin, it will be filed, but it will be marked next to it.
"I have led people to find out the origins of these horses. One hundred and twenty-five of them were bought from your subordinates. You have two subordinates selling horses in the capital. They can
They all identified you."
During this period, Kang Shiwen followed Su Yizhao's prompts and had already figured out all of these.
"They are talking nonsense. Have they seen my appearance? Are you sure it's me?"
Chu Huan snorted coldly, even if those two people were standing in front of him now, they probably wouldn't recognize him.
Chu Huan overturned everything he said before and refused to admit it.
"I'm afraid you don't know that although they are small people, they also have their own wisdom. The beauty you bought in Chongzhou was arranged by them. So, do they still know what you look like?"
Su Yizhao thought it was funny. How could this little cleverness be used on the right path?
Chu Huan's face was very ugly. He didn't expect that these two people would use his going to Chongzhou to trick him into a honey trap.
"We have checked and found that every horse's shoes have been re-shoeed. Horses purchased by the government will be stamped with horseshoes engraved with the government's seal. You have replaced the horseshoes and sent them to various state capitals. In the past few years, just
In Jingcheng, you have sold a lot, right?"
As Su Yizhao spoke, he was thinking in his mind about how to pry Chu Huan's mouth open.
Chu Huan must know a lot of information because he is the general distributor here in Beijing.
"Who is the identity of the person who met you? Did he send messages to and from the border for you? How did you pass through those cities and checkpoints?"
Chu Huan closed her eyes tightly and refused to answer.
Upon seeing this, Kang Shiwen frowned and was about to step forward. He tightened his grip on the whip, preparing to be executed again.
"Master Kang, since he hasn't thought about it yet, let's go interrogate the other person first!"
Su Yizhao felt that that person would definitely surprise her, she had a hunch.
Kang Shiwen ordered people to take Chu Huan down, and then brought up the cloaked man.
The officer removed the black cloth from the cloaked man's head. The cloaked man was not used to the sudden light and could not open his eyes.
Kang Shiwen looked at the person in front of him carefully. He had a high nose and deep eyes, and there seemed to be something different between his eyebrows and eyes.
He asked suspiciously: "This person?"
"This person is not from the Dayun Dynasty, but from the feudal county." Su Yizhao said.
"A native of the feudal lord? How did he come to Dayun Dynasty?" Kang Shiwen felt that the situation was a bit serious, and he had to report it to the emperor.
People from the vassal kingdom came to Dayun Dynasty. It was just one person, or many people came. What was their purpose of coming to Dayun Dynasty?
"What's your name?" Kang Shiwen stared at the man closely and asked sharply.
The man just glanced at Su Yizhao and Kang Shiwen, and then shut up.
"I want to see how hard your bones are." Kang Shiwen said, already using a whip dipped in salt water to pull it up.
Su Yizhao didn't stop him. He was just flesh and blood, and not many people could withstand the punishment in Dali Temple.
"I heard you talk about Zhuque, Xuanwu, etc. before. Who is Xuanwu? Who is Zhuque? What is Qinglong's position at the border?"
Su Yizhao recalled what he had overheard before. It seemed that the power of the vassal kingdom had gradually penetrated into the Dayun Dynasty.
Who in the DPRK is their protective umbrella? I don’t know their identity, but they are definitely high-ranking officials.
The man immediately raised his head and glanced at Su Yizhao. The whip was thrown at him, but he didn't even hum.
But when Su Yizhao mentioned this, his mood obviously changed.
Su Yizhao stopped Kang Shiwen's actions. These people had obviously received special training and were very loyal.
"Let me guess, could it be that Suzaku is Princess Manlin?" Su Yizhao approached the man and asked.
The man's pupils shrank and he spoke, "What are you talking about? How could Princess Manlin come to Dayun Dynasty?"
"She said she was running away from marriage." Su Yizhao's words surprised Kang Shiwen. Su Yizhao had never told him before.
"Oh! She is engaged to General Chong Mang, so it's not unusual to escape from the engagement."
"Oh! So you know a lot about them? Then your status in the feudal kingdom is not low, right?" Su Yizhao said immediately.
The man's expression changed, "You actually lied to me?"
