I'm playing tricks in Daqin

"Aiya, Captain Jiang, what are you doing? Is Your Excellency an unreasonable person? You will definitely be sent to meet criminals, aren't you, Your Excellency?"

"Is it a fart? Xiao Guangwen, you are not as good as you when you pull the wrong frame!"

"I don't know good from bad, since that's the case, I don't care about it."

After giving Jiang Lianyou a look, Xiao Guangwen stepped back decisively.

"My lord, you can't ignore it, hey, forget it, let's leave this case alone, let's go."

For the orders of the immediate superiors, the officers under his command were extremely resistant.

"Ma Wenduo is a colleague. Now that he is arrested, his life and death are unknown. We must seek an explanation!"

"That's right, even if Ma Wenduo committed a crime, you can't let someone with a heart intentionally induce you to punish me casually!"

"There is injustice in this case, we must see Ma Wenduo now!"

Nodding his head in satisfaction, Jiang Lian said helplessly, "My lord, you have also seen that they are so angry that I can't control them. If anything happens, I won't be responsible."

It is an ancestral skill of the military officer to make his subordinates mutiny. No one can verify the inventor, but it has been tried and tested repeatedly.

Regardless of whether you are a member of the clan, whether you are a member of the Dali Temple, or whether you are a first-rank loose official, if something goes wrong, at most you will catch a few who take the lead in making trouble, and those who cause trouble will be severely punished regardless of whether they are guilty or not.

Jiang Lianyou also saw that Li Wei wanted to kill himself wholeheartedly. He no longer had the illusion of being transferred to Chang'an, he just wanted to protect himself. of.

At this time, Li Renhe had already led his men to guard with swords. They were all good horsemen, but now that they had no horses and were fighting hundreds of enemies in such a cramped environment, it was still unclear who would win.

"My lord, have you thought about it? Are you really going to fight?"

Hearing Xiao Guangwen's inquiry, Li Wei did not answer, and the two fearful sides fell into a silent confrontation.

"Hey, today's food is good, and there is a piece of meat."

In the cell, the jailer just left the prison food at the door and left in a hurry without saying anything. Normally, he would have to joke with himself, but today he doesn't know why.

Ma Wenduo thought that he hadn't eaten meat for a long time, so he didn't care about it, and he was in a good mood when he opened the fish today. He picked up his rice bowl and was about to enjoy it, but at this moment, Sun Ercheng suddenly broke in and kicked the rice bowl in his hand away.

"What the hell!"

Ma Wenduo was terrified by the sudden kick. After he fixed his eyes and saw that it was Sun Ercheng, he became angry, "Are you sick?"

Seeing the piece of braised pork rolling down on the ground covered with a thick layer of dust, Ma Wenduo's mood was so ups and downs that a duck could fly to his mouth. Angrily, he grabbed Sun Ercheng's lapel and cursed at him angrily.

"You are just relying on Lao Tzu to catch you in the cell, right? When I go out one day, let's see if I don't punish you well to vent my hatred!"

No matter how much Ma Wenduo tore and cursed, Sun Ercheng would not get angry. The more he was like this, the angrier Ma Wenduo would be.

"I really look down on you people. Why, because you didn't listen to your words and planted blame, you want to humiliate me like this in the cell?"

Ma Wenduo felt that Sun Ercheng was holding a grudge. No wonder the jailer who delivered the prison food today looked weird. It turned out that Sun Ercheng had assigned him. Even if he threw away the piece of braised pork, he would not eat it.

The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, but even if he was angry, he had no other way to vent his anger at the moment.

As the saying goes, people have to bow their heads under the eaves. Thinking of this, Ma Wenduo could only let out a long sigh.

Seeing that Ma Wenduo's anger had subsided a little, Sun Ercheng pushed away Ma Wenduo's hands that were grabbing his clothes, and said in a condescending tone: "You are so stupid, I saved your life just now, and you actually saved your life?" I don't know."

"What? You saved my life?"

After hearing this, Ma Wenduo laughed at himself: "I would like to hear how you saved my life."

What a big joke, just now he ran over and kicked over his prison food, making himself starved and uttering wild words that he saved his life.

"I saw that jailer poisoning your cell just now. Fortunately, I was in time, otherwise you would be a cold corpse right now."

"Nonsense, I have no grievances with that jailer, why did he poison me? Besides, I have not offended anyone else except you, why did he poison me? In my opinion, the person who really wanted to kill me It's you, right?"

"You really don't know good from bad!"

Seeing that Ma Wenduo didn't believe what he said, Sun Ercheng simply asked someone to bring a yellow dog, and let him eat the piece of braised pork on the ground.

After the yellow dog saw the meat, he swallowed it in one gulp. After a while, he began to convulse and fell to the ground, foaming, and soon became motionless.

Marvin was dumbfounded.

"See, now you should believe what I say?"

Sun Ercheng looked at Ma Wenduo proudly, only to see that Ma Wenduo was so frightened that his face was pale and his whole body was trembling uncontrollably.

"Who is it? Who wants to put me to death?"

Thinking back carefully, he didn't offend anyone else here. Although he offended Sun Ercheng on the surface, if it was him who poisoned him, he wouldn't have saved his life just now.

Unless... Ma Wenduo glanced at Sun Ercheng suddenly, and he was suddenly afraid of him, unless he did it on purpose.

Sun Ercheng saw the change in Ma Wenduo's eyes towards him, and he already guessed it halfway, "You don't think I did this on purpose, do you? Don't worry, I don't have that leisurely heart. Who is trying to harm you? Just look it up."

As he said that, Sun Ercheng asked his subordinates to arrest the cook who was in charge of the prison meals. The cook stared round in surprise when he saw how well Ma Wen was standing in the cell.

"It's you?"

When Ma Wenduo saw the cook, he felt familiar at first glance. After thinking about it carefully, it turned out that it was the jailer who delivered the food to the prison just now. No wonder he put down the food and left without saying a word.

"Is it your poison?"

Sun Ercheng pinned the cook to the ground, ready to torture him to extract a confession, but the cook insisted that it wasn't poison or him.

"Don't quibble, I saw you poisoned just now, why, you still don't admit it?"

"You misunderstood the person. I have been staying in the back kitchen. If you don't believe me, you can ask other people. Besides, I have no grievances with him. Why did I poison him?"

Chapter 657

No matter what Sun Ercheng said, the cook just refused to admit it.

"I don't have the patience to circle around with you, and ask you one last time, who appointed you to poison?"

After finishing speaking, Sun Ercheng pulled out a knife from his waist and pressed it against the chef's neck, gradually approaching his throat, "Do you believe that as long as I use a little force, I can cut your throat off, my knife is so sharp very."

The cook hesitated at first, but Sun Ercheng was really cruel, he didn't give the cook a chance to hesitate, the blade cut on the cook's skin, blood stained his skirt immediately.

"Okay, okay, I said, is it okay if I say it?"

The cook hurriedly knelt on the ground and covered his injured area with his hands. If Sun Ercheng hadn't controlled the strength just now, or just touched it a little, his life would be dead.

"Tell me, who is it?"

"I don't know that person either, but he spoke with a forked accent. I didn't see his face clearly, so he gave me a bag of silver when he came up, saying that as long as I poisoned Marven's prison food, I would return later." will give me money."

"The rest didn't say anything? He also gave you the poison bag?"

The cook nodded immediately, "He gave it to me, and he said that I don't have to worry about the rest, I just need to be responsible for injecting poison into his food. This is the first time I have done this kind of thing. Your lord has a lot , forgive me this time..."

The cook was worried that he would be useless after speaking out, and Sun Ercheng would be killed with a knife, so he knelt on the ground and kowtowed for mercy.

After listening, Ma Wenduo's legs suddenly went limp, and he fell straight to the ground, muttering, "Who the hell, who did I offend? You actually want to put me to death?"

At first, I thought everything was Sun Ercheng's scheme, but I didn't expect that there was someone else.

The enemy is in the dark and he is in the light, and the days to come will probably be even more difficult. One day he can find a cook to poison him, but tomorrow it might be something else. Thinking of this, Marvin's eyes went blank, and his mind went blank.

Seeing his ghostly look, Sun Ercheng didn't say anything more, presumably Ma Wenduo knew the consequences himself, so he cast his eyes coldly, and then led his men out of the cell.

Ma Wenduo sat on the cold ground and stared blankly at the poisoned yellow dog, and thought of himself from this. If it wasn't for Sun Ercheng, the person lying on the ground would be himself.

"I know, I know who is going to kill me!"

"You are not so stupid that there is no cure. I can save you once, but I can't save you every time."

At the gate of the prison, the unbearable Jiang Lianyou asked loudly: "My lord, will you let me in or not? If you delay any longer, don't blame me for not being able to restrain my subordinates."

Hearing this, the police officers clenched their weapons tightly, and Li Renhe also licked his lips, ready for the emperor to go all out.

The more resolute Li Wei's attitude was, the more it meant there was a problem, and the more he wanted to see Ma Wen, Jiang Lianyou slowly raised his right hand for the sake of his own wealth and life.

"Wait a minute!"

"What do you think?"

"Since you want to see Ma Wenduo, then see you."

Hearing Li Wei's words, Xiao Guangwen and Jiang Lian almost laughed out loud. Before, they pretended to be virtuous rather than surrender, but when things came to an end, they admitted that they were cowardly. This is the Chang'an clan, a paper tiger who is strong on the outside but does nothing on the inside.

"My lord, shall we go in now?"

Nodding his head, Xiao Guangwen looked at Li Wei contemptuously, and walked in first.

Seeing Ma Wenduo huddled into a ball in the cell, Xiao Guangwen asked coldly: "How are you doing here, what's the problem?"

"I... I recruited, everything is Jiang Lianyou's mastermind! It was Jiang Lianyou who colluded with the robbers to commit a false case, and Jiang Lianyou asked me to kill the robbers and silence them!"

"You are talking nonsense! My lord, there must be someone who tortured Ma Wenduo to extract a confession. This is torture!"

"You are also a veteran of the Gongmen. Can't you tell whether Ma Wenduo has been tortured?"

Hearing Li Wei's words, Jiang Lianyou's face darkened immediately, and he said viciously: "Ma Wenduo, you are not a bachelor, you have a family and a family, so you can't talk nonsense."

"Xiao Guangwen, Jiang Lian is such a threat, do you care?"

"Threats? From what I hear, this is normal persuasion."

"That's right, I just kindly reminded you that you are from Chang'an, and it's not uncommon to know some methods of torture that won't leave scars. What can I do if I don't ask clearly? If there's anything wrong, let Ma Wenduo say it in person. That's good.

Don't worry, if someone tortures you to extract a confession, what did you say before, even if you leave a confession, it's useless. Some outsiders can cover the sky with just one hand. "

"Jiang Lianyou, what do you mean by that? What you said before can be counted, so what you said now, can it be counted again in the future?"

He and Jiang Lian looked at each other and noticed the three fingers he stretched out. Xiao Guangwen assured: "Of course it won't be the case. No matter what Ma Wen says now, it is a final conclusion and will never be changed in the future."

Nodding his head, Li Wei sneered and said, "Okay, Ma Wenduo, tell me again, is Jiang Lianyou the mastermind behind the scenes?"

"Yes, Marvin, don't be afraid, just say what you want."

"Yes, it's Jiang Lianyou! Jiang Lianyou did everything!"

Hearing Ma Wenduo's words, Xiao Guangwen couldn't help being taken aback, and immediately looked at Jiang Lianyou, but Jiang Lianyou was even more surprised than him at this time.

"Ma Wenduo, you have thought about it! Your wife and children are gone? Are your parents gone?"

"I've thought about everything! My wife can remarry after death, and my child can be reborn after death. My parents are old and have few days left to live. It's better for them to die than me."

Ma Wenduo was not a good person in the first place, and now he would be silenced by Jiang Lianyou at any time. All he could think about was how to survive. As for other people, even his parents and sons couldn't care less.

"You, what a beast you are!"

Anyway, they sold Jiang Lianyou, and Ma Wenduo didn't care anymore, and scolded directly: "I'm a beast and I'm better than you! What are you, you're worthy of me! My lord, I'll expose it! Jiang Lianyou every month They will receive benefits from many gangs! I have recorded them all, and there is evidence!"

"Do you dare to keep secret accounts?"

"Hmph, you never show mercy when you kill your subordinates. How can you not keep something for self-defense? I have recorded Jiang Lian's money one day, who he took, and how much money he took. My lord, I will report it. expose!"

"This... my lord, I..."

"What are you, I was deceived by you, I...gone."

A robbery case can still muddy the water, but now that a corruption case is involved, the evidence is solid, and talking nonsense will only get you involved.

"Go? Hehe, none of you should think about leaving today."

"I am the official of the imperial court! What do you want?"

"How much benefit do you get from taking Jiang Lian?"

Hearing Li Wei's words, Xiao Guangwen seemed to be stepped on the tail, "Don't grab and bite, I am a clean and honest official, and I have never bribed Jiang Lian with a penny."

"Ask Jiang Lianyou if there is any, and you will know. Before that, you can't leave."

"You, a small police officer in Dali Temple, dare to capture the imperial court official?"

"I can't, is Tian Baoping's weight enough?"

Tian Baoping is the son of the chief minister of the dynasty. If the news is brought back to Chang'an, the county guard will definitely punish him severely so that he will not be affected.

Thinking of this, Xiao Guangwen felt his legs go limp and sat on the ground directly.

"My own life can only be held in my own hands! If you don't want to die, get out of the way!"

With a roar, Jiang Lianyou directly pulled out his waist knife.

He knew that if Ma Wenduo betrayed him, he would never end well. Instead of allowing mermaids to kill him, he might as well find a way to survive. Anyway, if he had to fight to the death, the first person he would kill would be Ma Wenduo who betrayed him.

It's just that Jiang Lian had just uttered some cruel words, and before he had time to make a move, a guard raised his hand crossbow directly, and the sharp crossbow arrow hit his knee.

Li Renhe stood in front of the policemen and asked viciously, "What's the matter? Anyone who doesn't want to die, come up and try!"

They dared to make trouble because of Jiang Lian's cover and Xiao Guangwen's support. Now the two big men can't protect themselves.
