When he came to the main hall, he saw that Ouyang Bufan had a pair of thick dark circles under his eyes, his face was tired and his energy was low. Even though he looked haggard now, he was eating breakfast with his big hands.
Seeing Muchuan coming over, Ouyang Bufan couldn't help but complain: "Sir, you slept so comfortably! I don't know how to feel sorry for you, but I stayed up all night interrogating the prisoners for you."
Ouyang Bufan was eating steamed buns and soy milk while talking, and from time to time he would praise how delicious the soy milk was.
Soy milk originated from the hand of Liu An, a prince of the Han Dynasty, and has a history of two thousand years in the modern world.
However, the ancient soy milk production technology was relatively simple, mainly because the equipment and tools were not as sophisticated as modern ones. For this reason, it is still soy milk, but the soy milk produced in Muchuan is different from the ancient soy milk.
Now seeing Ouyang Bufan eating and drinking so much naturally made Muchuan unhappy. There was not much left in the pot of soy milk, but Ouyang Bufan drank it. Is he so unscrupulous that he regarded the entire Shangshu Mansion as his home?
But understanding that Ouyang Bufan stayed up all night to interrogate the prisoner, it must be quite difficult, Muchuan didn't care much and asked about the interrogation situation.
Ouyang Bufan let out a long sigh: "I can't ask you anything valuable. As expected, the python-eyed man and others were assigned by others."
In addition to bribing Li Da Quan, the eight burly men including the python-eyed man also played a role in controlling the hostages in order to manipulate Xiao Rou and four others to carry out assassinations.
If Xiaorou and the others fail, the eight people including the python-eyed man will kill the hostages and plot against Muchuan again.
However, when the eight python-eyed men were about to carry out the second plan, they were interrupted by Muchuan, who successfully captured them in turn.
As for the "master behind the scenes" behind the python-eyed man, the "master behind the scenes" has not been investigated until now. The "master behind the scenes" wears a white mask, wears black clothes, is tall, veiled and unwilling to reveal his identity. For this reason
The big man with python eyes and others also don't know its origin.
After hearing this, Muchuan couldn't help but feel annoyed: "Wouldn't this mean that we would not get useful information?
Really, have you been busy these past few days in vain?"
"That's not what I said..."
When Ouyang Bufan interrogated the python-eyed man, he still got some useful information. The "master behind the scenes" was not a Han, but a foreigner.
As for how to determine?
It is said that when the python-eyed man was talking to the "man behind the scenes", the other person's language was proficient but not standard, and he did not sound like a person from the Central Plains.
"I see."
Muchuan sat on the chair and thought secretly.
The two pieces of information obtained at this time were that the person behind the scenes had hatred for Muchuan, and the other was that the other person was not from the Central Plains.
There is only one country that can meet these two points, the people of Goguryeo! After all, Muchuan once led troops to capture one-fifth of the territory of Goguryeo. This hatred can be called a deep hatred!
"Could it be Mochizuki Dagong?
Isn’t this kid too bold, he dares to attack me in the imperial capital of Chang’an City?”
Muchuan said to himself.
Ouyang Bufan reminded: "Actually, wouldn't you know it just by asking Miss Xiaorou?"
"Yes!"
When I asked Xiaorou before, the other party seemed to know the origin of the "mastermind behind the scenes". At this time, her family had been rescued, so she would surely reveal the real culprit.
Without further ado, Muchuan arrived at the underground prison within a moment of burning incense.
As the Prime Minister of Jingxian County, Zhang Jiujiu learned that Muchuan was coming, so he waited at the door early and followed him in person to wait on him.
Walking on the quiet road of the prison, Zhang Jiujiu said: "Sir, the subordinates have already taken care of the matters you gave Li Da Quan yesterday, and have arranged for Miss Xiaorou to meet her family."
"Well, it was done well."
"Then about Li Da Dog..."
"Exonerate Li Da Quan from his crime, and then transfer him to the Ministry of Household Affairs as a bodyguard."
Zhang Jiujiu was obviously stunned for a moment when he heard this. He thought he had heard wrongly and quickly asked again, only to get the same answer.
Muchuan not only absolved Li Da Quan of his crimes but even promoted him to a higher position!
The palace guards of the Ministry of Hubu did not belong to one of the "nine-grade" official ranks, so their appointment was decided by Muchuan.
But comparing the palace guards and the government jailers, it is obvious that the status and treatment of the palace guards are much higher.
The monthly salary of an ordinary palace guard is three times that of a jailer, and his status is several levels higher.
When it comes to the palace guards in the household department among the six departments, their monthly salary is four times that of the government jailers.
This is no wonder why Zhang Jiujiu didn't believe it after hearing this. He thought Muchuan had made a mistake.
In fact, Muchuan was not mistaken. Li Da Quan successfully tracked the big man with python eyes through his wisdom, which shows that he is a talented person.
In addition, Li Daquan's character is not bad, but he is just a little greedy, so it is understandable.
After all, no one is perfect in this world. In order to survive in this harsh environment, everyone is struggling without sparing any effort.
"Master Zhang, I'll leave this matter to you. I also said hello to the Ministry of Revenue. Just let Li Daquan report normally tomorrow."
"Yes, my lord!"
Everyone just happened to be parked in the prison in the corner. When they successfully entered the wooden prison, they saw Xiao Rou.
Compared with the past, Xiaorou's mental state seems to have recovered a lot, the color of her cheeks has returned to color, her eyebrows are raised high, and she has a graceful temperament.
When Xiaorou saw Muchuan, she lowered her body and saluted: "Greetings to Mr. Muchuan."
Xiaorou's attitude towards Muchuan has completely changed. Presumably, she has already met his family and knows that their family members have been rescued by Muchuan.
For her, Muchuan was her savior, so of course her attitude changed greatly.
Muchuan nodded slightly, and then asked: "Miss Xiaorou, I have completed what I promised you. Do you want to fulfill your promise now?"
"Of course! The person who instructed me to kill you was a man from Goguryeo."
Muchuan's heart palpitated when he heard this. Is this really the case?
It seems that this is what Mochizuki Dagong did!
However, after Muchuan inquired carefully, he found that the person Xiaorou described was completely different from Wangyue Dagong.
According to what Xiaorou said, the man from Goguryeo had a tall body, a square face, big ears, eyes like bull's eyes, and a very ordinary appearance.
Such an appearance is certainly not that of Wang Yue Dagong. He is a handsome young man with a face as beautiful as a crown jewel and an extraordinary temperament.
It's just that Xiaorou won't lie. Her family has been rescued and there is no reason to hold her hostage anymore. It is unlikely that she will deceive Muchuan.
But Ouyang Bufan had suspicions. Neither the python-eyed man nor anyone else had seen the "master behind the scenes". Why did Xiaorou know that it was possible that she was lying?
