The Golden Age Chapter 776: Take the blame

Qiao Ruixin is a Zhonglang general, and his status is actually not lower than that of Dali Temple Shaoqing, but at this moment Qin Xiao commanded, and Qiao Ruixin, who was panicked in his heart, came back to his senses and quickly rushed to the side of the stairs, saying: "Come on, come on. People!"

There were soldiers guarding around the restaurant. The guards in front of the main entrance followed Chen Xi to hunt down the assassins, but there were still many soldiers staying around the restaurant. Hearing Qiao Ruixin’s shouts, more than a dozen soldiers rushed there soon. Come upstairs.

"Hurry up.....Hurry up and surround the restaurant, no one can enter or leave." Qiao Ruixin's mind was confused, and he sternly ordered: "Hurry up.....Hurry up and ask a doctor, hurry up... ...!"

He knows that An Xinghou is already dead and can't die anymore, but there is always something to do at this time.

Qin Xiao squatted next to Xiahouning, looking at the wound on Xiahouning's head, there was a blood hole in his temple, and the chopsticks were sharper than an arrow and penetrated Xiahouning's head completely.

He knows that the chopsticks themselves are not sharp, and that they can penetrate his head entirely because of internal force.

Recalling what happened just a moment ago, the assassin went from shooting to escaping in one go. It can be concluded that the opponent’s plan for tonight’s assassination was carefully planned, and the escape route must have been carefully planned in advance. .

The internal force of that person's shot is indeed strong, and his accuracy is also quite amazing.

The assassin was standing next to Qiao Ruixin, and Qiao Ruixin was sitting on Xiahouning’s right hand. Xiahouning turned his head slightly to look at Qin Xiao. At that moment, the side of his head turned towards the assassin. It happened in an instant, but the assassin seized this fleeting opportunity to make a move, and his grasp of the timing was truly amazing.

However, Qin Xiao also understands that the assassin's skill is real, and he is definitely not under Chen Xi. Even if there is no such opportunity, he can still find other opportunities to take action. In the face of absolute strength, Xia Houning was defeated by that assassin. If you get close, you are bound to die.

Xia Houning's eyes were open, and he obviously didn't understand until he died. It was a trap set by himself tonight, but how could it be the hunter who died in the trap in the end?

Of course he will never look down.

Qin Xiao flew around in his mind to determine the origin of the assassin.

The first thing he thought of was of course the Queen Mother Club.

However, as far as he knows, the real martial arts masters in the Queen Mother Club are actually rare. The most important thing is that compared to Xia Houning, the Queen Mother will hate herself more than Xia Hooning. If the Queen Mother will The assassination is going to be done tonight, and the person who is going to bear the brunt of the attack should also be directed at himself, but why didn't he attack himself, instead he attacked Xia Honing first?

Of course the assassin could not have admitted the wrong person.

For such an assassination, it is impossible for the assassin to take action easily before the target is determined, so it is absolutely certain that the target of the assassin is Xiahouning.

Get up and walk to the window and look down. The nearby Shence Army that blocked the road has quickly assembled to the restaurant. On the street downstairs, wolves-like soldiers of the Shence Army are quickly besieging the Sanhe Building. .

Qin Xiao's expression is grim.

Although Xia Houning is two people on different roads from him, and both sides even have murderous intentions towards each other, but Xia Houning was assassinated tonight, Qin Xiao did not have joy in his heart, because he was very clear and dignified. The son of Xiangzhi died in Hangzhou, and there will be a **** storm in the court or in Hangzhou.

The eldest son who had high hopes was assassinated, how could the prime minister give up?

Qiao Ruixin returned to Xiahouning's corpse again, stared for a moment, finally raised his head, looked at Qin Xiao, and asked: "Qin...Master Qin, what should we do?"

"General Qiao, you are responsible for arranging the guards tonight?" Qin Xiao turned around, with sharp eyes, staring at Qiao Ruixin.

Qiao Ruixin's heart sank and said anxiously: "Master Qin, what do you mean by this? The guards around are indeed...it was indeed arranged by me, but...!"

"But the assassin came to the restaurant to assassinate easily." Qin Xiao said coldly: "After the assassination of Lord Hou, the assassin even escaped easily. Is this the guard in charge of General Qiao?"

Qiao Ruixin's forehead was sweating cold.

Xia Houning was stabbed. He knew that he could not shirk the blame anyway, and his heart was panicked. At this moment, Qin Xiao said these two sentences, and Qiao Ruixin felt even more chill in his back.

"Let people protect this room. No one is allowed to enter for the time being." Qin Xiao said: "You send someone to the governor's mansion, and quickly ask the governor to come over. The assassination of Lord Hou must have been done by rebelling against the party. They Daring, are there any other actions in the city next? We must immediately discuss and be prepared to deal with it." Walking out of the house, seeing the restaurant shopkeeper sitting on the floor with a dull face, looked back at Qiao Ruixin and said:" General Joe, let someone take him to the next room, I want to interrogate him."

Qiao Ruixin is a military commander. Let him lead people to rush to kill. Naturally, he has never moved forward, but now it is a major assassination. He has no expertise in investigating, and Qin Xiao is the young man of Dali Temple, regardless of whether Qin Xiao is good at investigating. , But the position is there, so naturally he can only follow Qin Xiao's instructions.

The shopkeeper of the restaurant was dragged into the next room by two soldiers. Qiao Ruixin also entered the room after arranging what Qin Xiao ordered.

Although the interrogation must be in charge of the Dali Temple Shaoqing, Qiao Ruixin does not trust Qin Xiao himself, lest Qin Xiao would deliberately conceal some confession after the interrogation alone, so he was also in the hearing.

"Name!"

Qin Xiao sat in a chair and stared at the shopkeeper with a cold expression.

At this time, Qin Xiao really wanted to trace the real murderer.

Xia Houning was assassinated and he has become a suspect, so if he found out the real culprit behind the scenes earlier, he was able to get rid of the suspicion.

"The villain..... The villain Zhou Hong!" The shopkeeper of the restaurant was almost lying on the ground, with big beads of sweat falling from his forehead, his face was disastrous, and his voice was soft.

Qin Xiao said coldly: "You have seen what happened just now. Your man assassinated Lord Hou. Who was the assassin instigated? What is the origin of the assassin?"

"The lord, the villain...the villain really doesn't know him...he is an assassin...!" Zhou Hong cried and said, "The villain only knows that his surname is Wang. He said that others call him Wang Wu, he speaks with a foreign accent, and he is not a native of Hangzhou. Apart from that, the villain...the villain does not know the others."

"Boom!"

Qiao Ruixin hit the table next to him with a fist, and said angrily: "It's not easy for you to die? I can kill you with a single knife. Until now, I haven't explained honestly, assassinating Lord Hou, your family can still survive. Confess honestly, maybe you can stay alive, and if you refuse to explain, I asked the court to punish all your five races."

"General, the villain really doesn't know...!" Of course, Zhou Hong knew that once he was accused of assassinating the Lord Hou, Zhu Lian was not a joke. To deceive the adults, the villain...the villain doesn't have the guts...!"

Qin Xiao said solemnly: "You tell the truth, what is going on? The man in your shop, how can you not know the origin?"

Zhou Hong raised his head with a look of horror, but still explained: "My lord, the owner of the Sanhelou is the Lin family, and the villain is just the shopkeeper hired by the Lin family

, help the Lin family manage the business of the restaurant. Lord Hou..... After Lord Hou entered the city, the Lin family was arrested because of the rebellion. Most of the shops and shops under the Lin family's name were sealed up, and the Sanhe Building was also sealed. Since then, the restaurant has been closed behind closed doors. Did not continue to operate. "

Qin Xiao looked at Qiao Ruixin, and Qiao Ruixin could only say: "Yes, after the Lin family was copied, the three-in-one building was also sealed off."

"Go on." Qin Xiao motioned to Zhou Hong.

Zhou Hong continued: "A letter from the restaurant, and all the cooks and buddies have been dismissed. Last night, Lord Hou sent someone to tell the villain to talk about it. Tonight, there will be a banquet in the three-in-one building. Lord Hou's orders, villain How dare to neglect, I immediately invited the previous chefs back. In fact, they didn't dare to come back at the beginning. It was the villain who begged again and again, and they were afraid of Master Hou's anger, so they came back to work. "

"General Qiao, but did you send someone to open the door of the Sanhe Building this morning?" Qin Xiao asked Qiao Ruixin.

Qiao Ruixin nodded and said: "After Hou Ye decided to entertain Master Qin yesterday, I immediately sent someone to find the shopkeeper of the Sanhelou, and let them prepare for tonight's banquet."

Qin Xiao nodded, and Zhou Hong cautiously said: "The people who came here had an order at the time. Tonight's banquet, after all the wine and vegetables are prepared, they should be served together. There should be no space between the dishes. Hou Ye's order, Xiao People of course have to do it.” Having said that, he glanced at Qiao Ruixin, and saw Qiao Ruixin's eyes looking at him like knives, his heart shook, and he lowered his head and continued: "The most particular thing about the Sanhe Building is the Eighteen Banquet. There are a total of 18 dishes. Lord Hou sets up a banquet. Naturally, the villain wants to use the best 18 dishes, but if he wants to serve 18 dishes, he needs eighteen people who serve dishes......!"

"You just said that all the guys in the shop were dismissed?"

"Yes." Zhou Hong said hurriedly: "The restaurant has been closed, the cook has been dismissed, and the staff in the shop have also been dismissed. The door is opened temporarily to find those guys one by one. Time is too late, and. ...And the Lin family is a traitor to the Party, and the three-bedroom building is the property of the Lin family. Even if they go to find them, they may not dare to come back if they are afraid of... For a banquet, it would be nice to find some people temporarily, so I found some people temporarily on the street nearby, only to serve a meal, and each person can get two pennies for wages...!"

Qin Xiao frowned and said: "In this way, these people who are cooking tonight are not the original folks in the restaurant, but the people you brought in temporarily? You don't know their details at all?"

Zhou Hong was also sweating on his back, bowing his head and said: "Yes. Then...the assassin was also temporarily found, he...he said he was called Wang Wu, who had flown from the north, he used to He has been a running hall in a restaurant, I think he is quite honest, just...just...!"

Qin Xiao looked cold and asked Qiao Ruixin: "General Qiao, does Hou Ye know about this?"

"What...what's the matter?"

"Master Hou knows that the guy at the restaurant is here temporarily tonight?"

"This...!" Qiao Ruixin bit his head and said: "How can Lord Hou care about this little thing."

Qin Xiao said indifferently: "Then General Joe will know the military first?"

"I...I don't know." Qiao Ruixin could only say: "I have asked the restaurant to prepare a banquet. Hou Ye's preference also sent someone to tell in advance how to do it, naturally it is the restaurant's own. Things."

Qin Xiao sighed: "General Qiao and Lord Hou didn’t know that the restaurant guys came here temporarily, so naturally they would not investigate the details of these people. This allowed the assassins to come in. General Qiao, you are responsible for this. In the late security, there was such a big negligence, allowing the assassin to come in and the murder of Lord Hou, you are to blame."
