Chapter 709 Unbelievable
Sun Shaozong's words obviously caused a certain degree of impact on Liu Xianglian, which was probably similar to the mental journey of an idol's personality collapsing and fans turning to haters in later generations.
Of course, the intensity of the fight was definitely not as great - at least he wouldn't commit suicide because of it, nor would he pick up a knife and fight Sun Erge to the death.
"alright."
Sun Shaozong reached out and patted him on the shoulder, comforting him: "Don't just stand there, why don't you go to Shuntian Prefecture and ask Lin Delu to collect all the written documents related to the black post for me - the Dali Temple doesn't have all the information after all."
Liu Xianglian nodded absentmindedly, turned around and walked out for a dozen steps, then suddenly stopped, trotted back, and said solemnly: "Second brother, you must bring that thief to justice this time!"
His mental journey was very fast.
Sun Shaozong nodded in agreement, but he was not very sure.
Just talking about the design of the crime method, the owner of the black post may not be that smart.
But what is incredible is that he can always uncover the dark side hidden in the dead and find the right avenger.
The first one, although it can be called a miracle in this era of information blockade, can barely be explained.
As for the latter one, Sun Shaozong racked his brains but couldn't figure out how he did it.
You have to know that even parents, wives and children may not all dare to avenge their blood relatives personally, not to mention that most of the time he would look for outsiders.
And this isn't a sales pitch . If this deal doesn't work out, just look for the next one. If that were the case, the news would inevitably leak out before and after the crime. Then, what's the point of his carefully designed method of committing the crime?
But he found the right avenger accurately time and time again, as if he had never failed.
I'm afraid this can no longer be described as well-informed, right?
How did he do it?
Could it be that...
Can the owner of the black post tell the truth?
If it were in the past, Sun Shaozong would definitely not believe such nonsense, but when he thought about what Prince Yi Zhong said at the time, he couldn't help but hesitate.
Could it be that in this world of the Red Mansion, there really is...
Crunch~
Just as he was daydreaming, the iron door of the interrogation room suddenly opened from the inside. Xu wiped her wet hands with a handkerchief, walked out of the door gracefully, and smiled at Sun Shaozong: "If you have anything to ask, just come in."
That coquettish figure was even more wanton than the girls in a brothel - next time I have a similar job, I'd better ask for help from someone else, so as not to ruin my reputation.
Thinking of getting rid of the donkey after it has served its purpose, Sun Shaozong entered the interrogation room first, followed by the officers carrying the corpse.
This time when he came in, the interrogation room was much quieter - Yang Hancai had obviously entered the sage time at this time, his head was drooping droopily, no longer as excited as before.
Sun Shaozong came closer and observed the copper tongue depressor carefully, and found that the hair he had deliberately left behind was still pressed against the lower side of the copper tube.
It seems that this couple is very obedient.
Sun Shaozong smacked his lips silently, not knowing what he felt.
In fact, Yang Hancai "confessed" yesterday that he was ordered by the emperor to use the hearts and livers of young boys and girls to refine elixirs. Sun Shaozong should have isolated him and not allowed anyone to contact him.
Only by doing this can we ensure that the news does not leak further.
But Sun Shaozong did not do so. Instead, he continued to order the couple to torture him, and even deliberately ordered the couple to only torture him and not interrogate him.
I'm afraid even Sun Shaozong himself would find it difficult to explain clearly what the real intention behind this was.
But looking at the current situation, no matter what thoughts you have, it is obvious that they have all been in vain.
Come to think of it, if the couple who came from the White Lotus Sect couldn't resist even this little temptation, they would have probably rotted in the ground long ago.
By this time, the two bodies had been neatly laid out on the ground.
Sun Shaozong made a gesture, and several officers bowed and retreated, closing the iron gate.
Sun Shaozong was not in a hurry to ask questions. He turned around and inspected the opposite wall, making sure that several copper tubes used for transmitting sound had been tightly stuffed with silk and other things. Then he reached out and pulled out the copper tongue depressor from Yang Hancai's mouth.
"Pooh~"
Yang Hancai seemed to have been flipped on a switch. He spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva and gasped for air, mumbling: "Sun, you are so cruel! You actually let these two lunatics torture me for two days and two nights!"
That part that was not suitable for children should not be considered torture, right?
"Aren't you afraid that I'll risk everything and tell that bitch the truth?!"
In fact, Sun Shaozong secretly hoped that he would do so - whether Wu Shuigen and his wife spread the news or reported it to the emperor through the channels of the Northern Pacification Office, at least he would not have to be caught in a dilemma anymore.
After all, he still lacked confidence when facing a giant like King Zhongshun.
Especially since the other party was acting in the name of the emperor.
I am a man with a family, and I am risking my life for a few beggars...
Thinking of this, Sun Shaozong felt very ashamed again. He had not paid his party dues in recent years and his thoughts had indeed become corrupted. What happened to his promise to uphold justice?
If things continue like this, I'm afraid I won't be much better than the owner of the black post.
Criticizing himself in his heart, Sun Shaozong pointed at the two corpses and asked instead of answering, "Take a closer look. Can you recognize these two people?"
In fact, Yang Hancai had already seen the two corpses, and was wondering what Sun Shaozong's intention was in bringing two dead monks here.
When he heard that he was asked to identify the bodies carefully, he opened his cloudy eyes wide and looked at the two bodies one by one.
The first thing he saw was the old monk in a cassock, but after staring at him for a long time, he just felt that he seemed familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him.
Then he turned and looked at the younger one.
This time, he stared for two minutes before Yang Han suddenly cried out, "It was him?! He...you actually killed him?!"
As he said this, he glared at Sun Shaozong.
This attitude...
It seems that he is the man behind 'Little Monk'.
Of course, it may not be the only one.
At this time, Yang Han finally came to his senses and looked at the monk robes of the two men, feeling confused, frightened, and angry...
Those many expressions put together are enough to do a set of facial exercises.
But all this eventually turned into relief.
Yang Hancai sighed slightly and asked in a hoarse voice, "This should be the work of Prince Zhongshun, right?"
Sun Shaozong said nothing and casually stuffed the copper tongue depressor back into his chewing gum.
He came here to confirm the true identities of the two monks. Now that the result has been obtained, why would he be willing to waste more words with Yang Hancai?
Having said that, although Yang Hancai guessed the murderer wrong, the happiest person right now is probably King Zhongshun.
Without Master Daoyan and his apprentice, the two people who actually handled the matter, it would be a pipe dream for Yang Hancai alone to convict a big shot like King Zhongshun.
Of course, there is also Zhou Mo, the chief secretary of the royal palace.
But compared to arresting two Taoist priests without official positions, it is not so easy to capture Zhou Mo.
What's more, based on King Zhongshun's style of doing things, he might not give himself this opportunity.
"grown ups."
Just as I thought of this, Wang Biao came up to me and reported: "The chief official of Prince Zhongshun's palace wants to see you, and is waiting in the Zuosi Yamen ."
This guy actually came to me on his own initiative? !
