He is really the killer of Piaomiao Hall! Cheng Jin turned to look at Aiwei, and then asked: "What I don't understand is that Piaomiao Hall is so secretive, how did you find them?"
Wanfu said: "Piao Miao Tang has contact persons in many places, including Zhenjiang."
"Oh? Who is that contact person? Where is he now?" Cheng Jin asked in a solemn voice.
"If...if the villain tells General Cheng everything he knows, you...can you spare the villain?" Wan Fu swallowed and looked at Cheng Jin helplessly.
Cheng Jin slowly shook his head and said: "Hiring an assassin to assassinate your wife is a serious crime to annihilate the nine tribes. Even if I want to be lenient, there is nothing I can do. The only thing I can promise you is that I can make you die quickly.
"
Wan Fu's face was ashen, and his eyes also lost their sparkle. He stayed there for a long time, slowly closed his eyes, looked up and sighed, and said: "Piao Miao Tang's contact points in various places are either restaurants or inns, although the names are different.
, but there will always be the word "三" in it. Sanyuan Restaurant in Zhenjiang is the contact point of Piao Miao Tang, and the shopkeeper there is the liaison person. If you want to go to Piao Miao Tang to do something, just call him San Ye when you see the shopkeeper, and he will
I understand your purpose, and I will take you to the secret room at the back to discuss it in detail."
Not to mention that Cheng Jin didn't know about these things, even Ai Wei heard about it for the first time. The two of them frowned involuntarily and asked in unison: "Is this true?"
Wanfu smiled bitterly and said: "I am already dying, so how can I deceive General Cheng and Lord Ai again? I just hope that I can make up for my mistakes. I hope that the two adults can speak kindly to my village owner in front of the king."
A person dies, and it is not a pity to die, but you must not harm the village owner. My village owner is really innocent, and you two adults must be aware of it!" As he spoke, his tears flowed down again.
At this time, Wan Fu did not seek his own life, but only wanted to protect Wan Guan. His loyalty alone is very admirable.
Cheng Jin nodded and said sternly: "This matter is of great importance. We will investigate it in detail. If Master Wan does not know about it, you can rest assured that we will never unjustly accuse Master Wan and kill innocent people indiscriminately!"
Wan Fu choked up and said: "If General Cheng can say this, I will feel relieved."
Aiwei said: "You should write a confession now. Write down everything that happened. We will also check it one by one based on your confession. If there are any discrepancies, I'm afraid, the owner of Wan Village will have to be arrested."
Please come here too."
Wanfu shuddered and said repeatedly: "The villain will write now and write everything the villain has done."
"Yes!" Cheng Jin nodded and nodded to the hidden arrow personnel on the side. Immediately, one of the hidden arrow personnel brought over a pen and paper and untied the rope that bound Wanfu's wrists.
While he was writing his confession, Cheng Jin and Ai Wei walked out of the torture room and into the corridor outside. Cheng Jin asked, "Master Ai, how trustworthy do you think Wan Fu's confession is?"
Aiwei pondered for a moment and said, "I think it's more than 80%."
Cheng Jin held his chin and said quietly: "It seems that it is necessary for me to go to the Sanyuan Restaurant he mentioned." After a pause, he asked again: "Master Ai, what is the situation of your Lieutenant's Mansion towards the capital?
Very familiar, do you have any impression of this Sanyuan Restaurant?"
Aiwei said slowly: "If I remember correctly, Sanyuan Restaurant is located in the north of the city. It is an extremely ordinary tavern. The environment is average and a bit shabby. The drinks and food are not outstanding, but the price is...
It's incredibly expensive, so few locals go there to eat or drink, most of them are outsiders." After a pause, he asked, "General Cheng plans to destroy this place?"
"That's right! Your mission is to investigate the case, and my mission is to deal with Piao Miao Tang. Now that I know their contact point, I naturally want to uproot this contact point."
Aiwei took a breath and said: "However, according to Wanfu's explanation, that place is just the contact point of Piaomiao Hall. The assassins of Piaomiao Hall may not be hiding there. General Cheng went there rashly. It would be fine if he succeeded. If the assassin was not caught, what would happen?
Didn’t you scare the snake away and scare away the assassins?”
This is the truth... Cheng Jin asked: "Then... Mr. Ai, do you have any good ideas?"
"Since the shopkeeper is the liaison, we have to find a way to catch him without anyone noticing, open his mouth, and ask him to reveal where the assassin is hiding." Aiwei said with his eyes narrowed.
"Being the liaison person of Piaomiao Hall, he is probably an outstanding spiritual cultivator. And he is in a restaurant, in public, so how can we arrest him without anyone noticing?"
Aiwei thought for a moment, smiled slightly, and said, "I have a way!"
Sanyuan Restaurant, said to be a restaurant, is actually just a small tavern with only one floor, and the equipment inside is also very old. In Zhenjiang City where there are many luxury restaurants, Sanyuan Restaurant is inconspicuous.
That afternoon, a group of customers suddenly arrived in the deserted restaurant. They were all wearing coarse clothes and linen trousers, and their accents did not sound like they were locals from Zhenjiang.
It is rare for guests to come to the door, and the waiters in the restaurant should be very enthusiastic, but the waiter here is just the opposite. He lazily came forward and said feebly: "Dear guests, please come inside!"
These young men dressed as farmers glanced at the waiter, found a seat in the back and sat down, and then shouted loudly: "Serve the wine and serve the food! Waiter, take all your good wine and good food."
Come up here, everyone, I’ll have lots of money!”
While talking, one of the young men threw a bulging money bag on the table, making a muffled clang sound.
When the waiter saw this, he secretly rolled his eyes and muttered in his heart: Country bumpkin! He still looked weak and lazily responded: "Okay, gentlemen, wait a moment, I will go and tell the waiters in the back kitchen.
Cooking.”
When the young man saw him walking slowly and looking half-dead, he felt angry and shouted angrily: "You should be faster! Don't you see that all the gentlemen are hungry? Grandma's, everyone is the same."
A piece of shit!"
After hearing this, not to mention the waiter's face suddenly darkened, even the shopkeeper who was looking at the account book at the counter raised his head and stared at them coldly.
"What are you looking at? I'm here to spend money, not to be angry. Damn it, if you continue to be so slow, I'll tear down this shabby shop of yours!"
The waiter turned red with anger and turned around, pretending to go over to argue. The shopkeeper coughed and said to the waiter: "Xiao Wu, go quickly!"
As he spoke, he apologized to the farmers and said with an apologetic smile: "The guys in the store are new and ignorant, so please don't take offense to the guests..."
Before he could finish speaking, the young man shouted dissatisfiedly: "Stop talking nonsense, let's get some food and drinks!"
At the sign of the shopkeeper, the waiter walked away sulking. Since there were no other customers, their food and drinks came quickly, but during this period, the young people were still cursing until they
When all the food and drinks ordered were served, a few people finally shut up. They opened their cheeks like hungry ghosts and devoured their food, sweeping away all the food and wine on the table like a whirlwind.
The young men who felt they were still not full ordered a few more plates of fish and bottles of wine, and continued eating and drinking.
The waiter didn't have the patience to wait around. He ran to the door of the store early and sat on the steps, enjoying the cool air while grabbing peanuts.
Several young people had been eating from afternoon to evening, and it was finally over. At this time, they were all six or seven points drunk. One of them was so drunk that his face was red, and when he stood up, his body was swaying.
"Check out! Waiter, come here, uncle is going to pay!" The young man at the head shouted loudly, swinging his money bag.
The waiter walked over unhurriedly, without looking at the plates and wine bottles on the table, and said, "A few guests, a total of twelve taels."
"How much?" The young man wondered if his ears had heard it wrong. He leaned towards the waiter and said, "Say it again!"
The waiter was so angry that he said with a smile: "I said, you spent a total of twelve taels of silver, please pay!"
"Twelve taels of silver? That's enough for a family for half a year. Are you running a black shop here?" The young man slammed the money bag in his hand on the table and said, "There are no twelve taels.
There are only so many in total, do you like them or not?"
Hey! This is about to get ready! The waiter in the shop smiled instead of being angry. He looked down at the money bag. It was so bulging that it must be enough for twelve taels!
Thinking about it, he stretched out his hand to untie the string of the money bag, and then poured it out. With a crash, dense copper coins flowed out from inside.
The waiter's eyes widened in disbelief. He looked again and again to confirm that it was indeed copper coins, not silver. Anger surged from his chest to the top of his head. He stared at the young people and said: "Everyone, what are you doing?
Are you kidding me?"
"Are you kidding me? We only brought so much money, let's see what we do!" The young man acted like a rogue with some drunkenness, tilting his head as if he wanted to do whatever he wanted.
One tael of silver is always worth a thousand cash. Even if the money bag is bulging, it will only hold two or three hundred cash at best, which is not even enough for a change! The waiter looked at them and shook his head and said, "I see you guys
You’re not here to eat, you’re here to cause trouble!”
"It's not that we want to find trouble, but that this shabby shop of yours is too dark. A few plates of food and a few bottles of wine cost me twelve taels of silver. Why the hell don't you go and rob it?" the young man yelled with stern eyebrows.
.
"You want to be aggressive, right? OK! If you don't hand over your meal money today, no one will be able to leave..."
Before he could finish his words, the young man slapped him in the face and shouted angrily: "Damn it, it's shameless to give you shame. Even if I don't give you a penny today, I don't think you can do anything to me."
!" As he spoke, he shook his head to his companions and said, "Let's go!"
