Keyboard Immortal Chapter 1112: Revenge
Sang Hong was furious: "Do you know that it is a big crime to punish the nine clans by biting the prince!"
Taohong sighed: "Look, just hearing the name makes me so scared, so why make me confess?"
Sang Hong's face turned blue and white, as if he was thinking about something.
Pei You and Zaan looked at each other, and then the anger just now disappeared, and the room suddenly fell into an eerie silence.
Only Zu An was more calm, and said solemnly: "Did King Qi personally send you here, or did his subordinates send you here?"
Taohong replied: "What kind of person is King Qi, how could he personally handle such a thing, naturally his people arranged it."
"Then how do you know that someone didn't use the name of King Qi." Zu An said solemnly.
Taohong snorted: "How can we spies not know who we are loyal to?"
"If that's the case, why did you betray so quickly." Zaan said lightly, although the embroidered messenger was good at interrogation, but as a secret agent, she confessed too quickly.
Peach Hong said resentfully: "Do you know why I was caught by Yun Jianyue?"
Without waiting for Zaan to answer, she continued: "Because after I completed the mission here, I was silenced by the assassins under King Qi's command. Fortunately, I had a good mind and prepared for it before I escaped, and the result was a coincidence. Unfortunately, he bumped into Yun Jianyue and was caught by him."
Several people looked at each other and admired that this woman was a smart person.
At this time, Pei You said, "I saw you last time at Biyufang. Is the affection you showed for Shen Zhou true or false?"
Taohong sneered: "This is the end, is there any difference between true and false?"
Pei You's voice is low: "Of course there is a difference."
Seeing the other party's glowing eyes, Taohong was a little silent, and after a long time she said: "I have been trained as a spy since I was a child, and everything I received was cruel and cold. It's just a means. Only Shen Zhou has given me sincerity and warmth. Although he is clumsy and dull, I really like him."
Zuan said lightly, "It's a pity you killed him anyway."
Taohong smiled sadly: "Yes, he was indeed killed by me. When I reported his findings to my superiors, I knew what kind of fate he would have. Unfortunately, I didn't understand my own heart at that time. In addition, I was afraid of being betrayed by the organization, so I didn't think about it that much."
"I didn't realize that I was wrong until I learned of his death, but it was too late to regret it."
"But you continued to work for King Qi as if nothing happened afterwards, and even used Shen Zhou to mislead us to handle the case." Zu An said in a deep voice.
Taohong bowed her head: "What can I do? Life and death are in the hands of others. How can I say no? How can you big people know the sorrow of us little people?"
Zuan was silent, knowing that the other party was telling the truth.
Most of this woman has feelings for Shen Zhou, but unfortunately she doesn't have the courage to resist King Qi, so she lives in entanglement and pain.
"Have you revised the account books of the Zhenyuan Chamber of Commerce?" Sang Hong asked. He is old and used to seeing ups and downs. His heart is already hard as iron, and he doesn't care about the feelings of these young people at all. Love love, only care about the most critical issues.
Taohong hummed: "I didn't participate. A special person pretended to take out the real account book, and then replaced it with a new account book. I don't know what was changed."
"Who is the person who connected with you? How can I find him." Sang Hong asked.
"The treasurer Ma of the Ping'an Pharmacy in the west of the city, because many girls in Jasper Square often need doctors to see a doctor, so he can come and go often without causing suspicion." Taohong replied.
Sang Hong hurriedly winked at Xiao Jianren, who was beside him.
"Do you have any other evidence?" Sang Hong continued to ask.
Taohong shook her head: "We are all guarding each other in our line of work, and there will be no evidence left."
Sang Hong frowned and continued to interrogate, but unfortunately he didn't get any useful clues later.
So he left Pei You to continue the trial, and he changed Zaan to the secret room to discuss.
"Are you going to press it down this time?" Zaun asked curiously.
Sang Hong shook his head: "King Yan was not the emperor's target before. If they were forced to turn against the emperor, they would blame us, but King Qi is the one the emperor wants to deal with, so we naturally have no such concerns."
"Unfortunately, there are only human witnesses, no physical evidence." Zuan said worriedly. After all, King Qi is more than ten thousand people, and it is really difficult to deal with him only by relying on Taohong's confession.
Sang Hong also sighed: "Yes, now it's up to Master Xiao to see if he can gain something, but I'm not optimistic."
Zuan also agrees with this judgment. How could an old fox like King Qi leave such obvious flaws after Taohong escaped.
At the same time, he was also a little hesitant. He had communicated with King Qi in the capital before, and everyone also made a "covenant". Although both parties knew that this thing was unreliable, Zaan really needed King Qi's help. It is best for him to deal with the emperor and lose both sides. If King Qi is directly hammered to death, it is not in his interest.
It didn't take long for Xiao Jianren to come back. The reason why he came back so quickly was that the Ping An Pharmacy was already empty, and there were only a few people who didn't know anything about it.
"Sure enough." Sang Hong smiled bitterly, and began to hesitate whether to hand over Tao Hong.
Although he has nothing to do with King Qi, he considers another level. This crime is extraordinary. Once attacked, there is no real hammer. As a result, King Qi finally came over. With the emperor's cool temperament, Maybe the Sang family will be pushed out again as a scapegoat.
I already suffered a loss last time, and I don't want to repeat the same mistakes this time.
At this moment, another subordinate came to report: "A fire broke out in a village on the outskirts of the city."
Sang Hong snorted: "What do such trivial things tell us to do, do you think we don't have enough?"
The soldier hurriedly explained: "It's the village where Shen Zhou's widow lives."
Because Zaun went there to investigate before, the mission sent someone to pay attention to the relevant information secretly, but I didn't expect to get this bad news.
"What!" Zaun was startled and hurriedly asked for details.
The soldier replied: "The specific situation is not clear. It seems that the fire started in the middle of the night, because everyone was asleep, and then the fire spread quickly by the wind. There were 36 people in the village, and no one survived."
Zuan's voice was extremely cold: "It was snowing heavily a few days ago, how could it be so easy to burn, and there is not a single living person in the village!"
"Silence!" Sang Hong also had the same judgment.
Soon Zaan and Sang Hong took people to the scene of the crime on the outskirts of the city, where the corpse was already collected by the yamen.
There was an extremely unpleasant smell in the air. Looking around, it was like purgatory on earth. Many yamen couldn't stand it and retched.
Zuan's face was expressionless, and he walked directly to Shen Zhou's wife and children, thinking that the boy with a big head and a big head had turned into a piece of coke, and his heart was full of anger.
Although I already know that for the powerful and high-ranking people, the lives of the common people are like a must, but I still didn't expect that there would be such a bottom line, even such a small child would not be spared.
At this time, a yamen clerk came to report: "A preliminary autopsy has been carried out. There is a lot of smoke, dust and black ash in the lungs of the deceased, which is consistent with the characteristics of burning, and homicide can be temporarily ruled out."
Zuan looked at him coldly: "How are these people dying?"
The man replied: "The death is peaceful, probably burned to death in his sleep."
Zuan snorted: "No matter how deep the sleep, the fire will burn so that they will not respond? Apparently, someone restrained the acupuncture point during his lifetime, and then set it on fire and burned to death!"
"Who is this crazy!" The clerk was obviously frightened too.
Zuan didn't answer, but directly picked up the young skeleton and said solemnly: "These two people don't have to take them back to the yamen, I'll let them go to the ground first for safety."
Now that the murderers are known, there is no need to expose their bodies in the yamen.
With Zaun's cultivation base, he quickly dug a large pit, and then split the trees to make a simple coffin to bury their mother and son.
He remained silent during the whole process, and Sang Hong comforted him: "Azu, don't blame yourself too much, it has nothing to do with you."
Zuan did not answer, but silently took out the wooden sword that the child had given him: "I swear by this sword, I will definitely avenge you, otherwise there is such a sword!"
After he finished speaking, his skill was shocked, and the wooden sword was directly broken into two pieces.
He was about to insert the broken sword into the grave, but suddenly his eyes narrowed.
