The Golden Age Chapter 67: Iron proof is like a mountain

Liu Hongju stepped forward and asked: "My lord, what is written in this letter?"

Ma Xingguo did not hand the letter to Liu Hongju, but to Qin Xiao, sneered: "The content of the letter is to let Dong Yuan find a chance to assassinate Lord Assassin and stir up the panic in Suzhou. According to the meaning of the letter, Once an adult is assassinated, Suzhou will fall into a panic. There will be no leader. Even if the court sends a new assassin to take office, it will take time. Even if the new assassin can arrive as soon as possible, he does not have a deep understanding of the situation in Suzhou and needs time to adapt. Energy can only be placed on officialdom."

"Why make Suzhou mess up?" Liu Hongju was suddenly alert: "My lord, who wrote this letter?"

Qin Xiao has read the letter, and handed the letterhead to Liu Hongju. Liu Hongju took it with both hands, glanced a few times, and frowned, "Who is Haixuan? This inscription is Haixuan, and the humble general can never Heard this person’s name."

"This is naturally a pseudonym." Ma Xingguo took out the letterhead from another letter, scanned it a few times, and handed it to Qin Xiao. Qin Xiao took it, and said softly: "Shenzhen Dong: Haotian heavy talent, today With the title of a divine envoy, a special person was sent to congratulate, a long way to go, to call on the people, to eradicate the demon and fox, and to return the prosperity of the world... Haixuan!" Turning over the letterhead, said: "This letter is withered and yellow, look. I received it a long time ago and have been stored here. I guess it will be at least two or three years."

Ma Xingguo nodded and said: "Dong Yuan has long been in collusion with this Hai Xuan again, and he was given the title of divine envoy by Haotian...!" Looking at Qin Xiao, he asked, "Master Qin, do you know Who is Haotian?"

"Also ask Ma Changshi for advice!"

"If I remember correctly, the leader of the Queen Mother's Club that made trouble in Qingzhou back then called himself General Haotian." Ma Xingguo slowly said: "Haotian, Bitter Sea, and Youming are called generals." What came to mind. , Frowned and said: "Hai Xuan.....Is it General Kuhai?"

Liu Hongju slightly changed his color and said, "My lord, you mean, this letter was written to Dong Yuan by General Kuhai from the Queen Mother's Association? But the Queen Mother's Association had been eradicated ten years ago. The three **** generals The first level of the city has also been hung up to the public. Could it be that they have come back from the dead?"

"Resurrection from the dead is of course impossible." Ma Xingguo shook his head and said: "But the three **** generals you mentioned are all their own titles. People die, but the titles still exist. Maybe the Queen Mother's congregation elected The new Haotian." Taking the letter paper from Qin Xiao's hand, he looked at it carefully, and his expression was solemn: "Yes, when the Shence Army attacked the Queen Mother's Association ten years ago, I was also in the army, what they called Under the general, there are more than a dozen divine envoys who are going around to confuse the people and take in believers. Dong Yuan was named a divine envoy by Haotian. It turns out that Dong Yuan is a member of the Queen’s Association."

At this moment, someone on the side could hear: "My lord, this painting is weird, look at it."

Several people followed the sound and saw that one of the soldiers who was checking the box was opening a picture and saw a few adults looking over. The soldiers greeted their companions to come over, and the two of them held this picture on the left and right. In the corner of the painting, the portrait faces Ma Xingguo.

Qin Xiao saw it really through the firelight. In the middle of the portrait was a portrait of a queen mother. She was graceful and dusty, with auspicious clouds on her feet. On its left and right, there were three heavenly generals in armor, one gold armor and one silver armor. , A black armor, the golden armor will have a kind face, the silver armor will have a majestic color, but the black will have fangs, and the face is like black coal, fierce and evil.

"This is the Queen Mother and the Third General." Ma Xingguo sneered: "Now it can be concluded that Dong Yuan is indeed a member of the Queen Mother Association."

Liu Hongju looked solemn, and said: "My lord, the Queen Mother will assassinate Lord Assassin to make Suzhou panic. Why do they do this?

Has the Queen Mother's Association infiltrated Suzhou? "

"Dong Yuan is the most powerful family in Suzhou besides the Qian family." Ma Xing Guodao: "Even the Dong family has become a member of the Queen Mother's Association. Of course, the Queen Mother's Association has penetrated into Suzhou." His face was a little ugly. He, as a long history of Suzhou, did not know anything about the existence of the Queen’s Mother’s Association in Suzhou. He was really negligent and worried: "Liu, commander, you shouldn’t have killed Dong Yuan, otherwise you would take him back to the yamen. I will be able to examine the confession from him."

Liu Hongju blamed himself: "The humble general is hasty, and he also asks the adults to condemn him."

"What's the use of convicting it now?" Ma Xingguo was in a bad mood, and ordered: "Send someone to seal the Dong's mansion. No one is allowed to enter or leave." Pointing to the butler Cao Xiu, who was kneeling on the ground, said: " This person brought it back to the Yamen."

Cao Xiu said with trepidation: "My lord, the villain knows nothing about everything the master does."

"All the boxes here are transported back to the Yamen. Roll up this picture and give it to me to take it back." Ma Xingguo glanced around: "Search it carefully inside to see if there is anything buried on the ground, Commander Liu, You led someone to search the Dong's mansion thoroughly."

Liu Hongju arched his hands and said: "The humble general will obey the order!"

In the Suzhou Provincial Government House, Pan Weixing learned that Dong Yuan was a member of the Queen’s Mother's Association, and his color changed in horror: "Are you sure there are people from the Queen's Mother's Association in Suzhou?"

"My lord, these are two letters I found from the underground secret room of Dong's family." Ma Xingguo presented the two letters, and Pan Weixing immediately took out the letter paper. Ma Xingguo looked solemnly: "Dong Yuan arranged for the assassin to assassinate the lord. He is a pseudonym. The Xuanzhi people instructed that the lower officials believed that Hai Xuan should be General Kuhai, one of the three generals of the Queen Mother Association."

Pan Weixing took a breath after reading the two letters, his face turned blue: "The Queen will, how can they...why will they show up in Suzhou?"

"My lord, Dong Yuan is the envoy of the Queen Mother's Association. The lower officials believe that the Queen Mother will be in Suzhou and he cannot be the only one." Ma Xingguo frowned: "The first priority is to find out how much there is in Suzhou City. People from the Queen Mothers Club lurked in them. The second is to find out who this Haixuan is. If this person is in Suzhou, he must be found out anyway, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous."

Pan Weixing frowned and said: "Hai Xuan told Dong Yuan to find a chance to assassinate the old man to bring Suzhou into chaos. What is their purpose? Do they want to take advantage of the chaos?"

"The adults don't usually have much contact with the Dong's family. The last time I went to the Dong's house, when the adults first came to Suzhou to take office, the Dong's family hosted a banquet for the adults, and the adults gave him face." Ma Xing Guodao: "Since then I have never been to Dong's house."

Pan Weixing sighed: "As a Suzhou governor, a parent official of a prefecture, what he eats is the salary of the court. If he gets too close with the gentry in Suzhou, he will inevitably be talked about."

"So Dong Yuan wanted to find a chance to assassinate an adult, it was not easy." Ma Xing Guodao: "This time Qin Shaoqing and Chen Shaojian came to Suzhou, and the Qian family just set a banquet and invited the famous gentry in the city. Dong Yuan was naturally I don’t want to miss this golden opportunity. The Dong family and the Qian family have always been in friendship. Dong Yuan knows the structure of the Qian family’s residence. It is not difficult to arrange for the assassin to sneak into the Qian family. Once the assassin succeeds, then the Dong family will just blame the Qian family. Let everyone think that it was the Qian family who planned it, and Dong Yuan not only completed the task Haixuan gave him, but also retired and got rid of the relationship." He snorted coldly, and said, "This surname Dong is really cunning." /

Pan Weixing groaned slightly, looked at the two Qin Xiao who had been sitting on the side without saying a word, and asked, "What do you think?"

From the money

Since the assassins have appeared in the family, although Qin Xiao and Qin Xiao have participated in them, they are not very active. It seems that this big case happened in Suzhou, and it is better for the Suzhou government to deal with it first.

Qin Xiao was silent for a while, then said: "Ma Changshi is right. If Dong Yuan was instructed by General Sufferhai to assassinate adults and cause chaos in Suzhou, then this must have its purpose. It is probably to take advantage of it. At the time of the chaos in Suzhou, it was a disaster in Suzhou. Dong Yuan was killed by Liu Tong and he could not get a confession. We still don't know who Haixuan is and where he is now, but it is something we need to find out now." /

"The members of the Queen Mother's Club have always hidden their heads and their tails. Since this General Kuhai is an important figure in the Queen Mother's Club, his deeds are naturally more secretive." Pan Weixing stroked his beard: "Without any clues, look for Haixuan, it's really not easy."

Ma Xingguo suddenly thought of something and said: "My lord, when I say this, I suddenly remembered the previous murder case. Taihu Pirates and his party entered the city at this time. Is it something to do with this matter?"

"Today's banquet was decided by the old man this morning. The Taihu Pirates had already entered the city at that time." Pan Weixing shook his head and said, "Dong Yuan has no prophecy. He didn't know in advance that we would hold a banquet at Qian's house. He also got it temporarily today. The invitation and arrangement of the assassin must have been after the invitation. The old man believes that the Taihu Pirates entering the city at this time have no direct relationship with this matter."

Ma Xingguo whispered: "My lord, there is a mysterious character in this sea profound, and Linghu Xuan's name also happens to have a mysterious character...!"

"Too far-fetched." Pan Weixing waved his hand and said, "There are not a few people with the word "Xuan" in the name of Suzhou. Can't the name include the word "Wang Muhui"? Although Ling Huxuan doesn't put the official uniform in his eyes, Nor can it be said that he is a member of the Queen Mother’s Association, Xingguo, without evidence, nor can he wrong a good person."

Chen Xi suddenly said: "Old sir, we really can’t tell whether the Taihu Pirates are related to the Queen Mother’s Club, but Taihu Qiao Shenggong is still in the prefectural office. Can someone be sent for interrogation, even if it’s tortured, from his mouth. Ask if Dong Yuan has anything to do with them. If he can confess to Dong Yuan and even the Queen Mother, then Ma Changshi’s judgment is likely to be correct. The so-called Haixuan may be the Taihu Pirate Linghuxuan." /

Ma Xingguo nodded and said: "My lord, Chen Shaojian's words are reasonable, the next official will go to the prefectural office now to interrogate Qiao Shenggong."

Pan Weixing thought for a while before he said to Chen Xi: "Chen Shaojian, the interrogation method of Ziyijian is unparalleled in the world. Qiao Shenggong is a thief from Taihu. These people are so aggressive that they may not be able to confess easily. It is better to trouble Chen Shaojian and Ma Changshi. Interrogate together. If the outcome of the trial can be found tonight, the old man can also arrange arrangements as soon as possible."

Chen Xi hesitated before saying: "The interrogation will still be conducted by Ma Changshi. I can assist behind the scenes. If Qiao Shenggong does not confess to his death, then I will torture him personally, what do you think of it?"

"It's so good." Pan Weixing knows how powerful the Ziyi Supervisor is. Since this young superintendent agreed to help, it may not be difficult to examine the confession from Qiao Shenggong.

Qin Xiao has already stood up and said: "Old man, Chen Shaojian accompanies Mr. Ma to the interrogation, so he won't join in the fun when he is in office. Torture is not what he is good at."

"That's fine." Pan Weixing said: "I wanted to pick up the dust for you today. Who knew this would happen, but it frightened the two of you. Qin Shaoqing, you rest early. If there is any result, this I will tell you."

Qin Xiao didn't say much, and stepped back.
