The Rebirth of Han Yuxi - Chapter 1931

[Chapter 1931 Qiyou Fanwai (6)]

After Meng Xuemin received Qiyou’s letter, he went to the palace to ask for Qihao.

After reading the letter, Qi Hao smiled and said, “Since King You wants you to send him the portraits of those wanted criminals, then send them!” Outsiders didn’t know that Qi Hao was cleared. He will never forget anyone who Qiyou has met. Come to think of it, this time I saw a wanted criminal hiding in Yangzhou City in Yangzhou.

Meng Xuemin hesitated and said, “Your Majesty, Wei Chen was thinking about whether to send Duan Chakuai and the others to Yangzhou to assist King You.” Although King You was not active, he knew what he was capable of. It is estimated that the trace of the wanted criminal was discovered, and the portrait of the wanted criminal over the years was asked from him.

However, these people were all wicked and murderous desperadoes, and he was afraid that Qiyou would be in danger when arresting them. Therefore, I would like to send the best arresting officer from the Ministry of Punishment to assist.

Qi Hao shook his head and said, “No need. If you send a catcher to go over quickly, you will startle the snake, which will destroy Qiyou’s plan.” If Qiyou had this request, he would have already mentioned it. I didn’t mention it, but I think I’m sure to catch this person.

Five days later, a thick stack of images of wanted criminals arrived in Qiyou’s hands. At this time, Qiyou’s illness was cured.

After seeing these images, Qiyou immediately wrote a letter to Lu Fei and asked the personal guard to deliver it. Then, Qiyou posted an invitation and invited Rong Tongji to dinner.

Sitting at the dinner table and looking at the wine on it, Rong Tongji said, “Your Highness, you are in good health, so stop drinking!”

Qiyou said with a smile, “I don’t drink much this time, so I’ll have a drink. But before I go back to Beijing, I will definitely have to go to the boat again. We won’t return if we don’t get drunk.”

Zhao Qian picked up the jug and poured wine for Qiyou first, and then poured a drink for Rong Tongji.

Qiyou picked up the wine glass and said with a smile, “Master Rong, come here, this king thanks you for your hospitality last time. I’ve grown up so much, and I haven’t had such a good time.”

Anyway, he is now a poor man who is too strict with his parents and has no freedom in life. Such people can easily lower the vigilance of others.

Rong Tongji was also very forthright, picked up the wine glass and sipped it away: “Your Highness, you can do whatever you want.”

Qiyou put the wine glass on his mouth and took a small sip: “Pour another glass for Master Rong…”

After drinking the second glass of wine, Rong Tongji felt dizzy. As soon as he felt something wrong with his body, he immediately said, “My lord, I have a terrible headache. My lord, I want to go home and drink the wine next time.”

Qiyou said with concern: “It was fine just now, why did I suddenly have a headache.”

His head was getting heavier and heavier, and Rong Tongji said with difficulty: “It should be an attack of an old disease. My lord, I have medicine at home, I just take it when I get home…” Before the good words were finished, the person fell to the ground with a thud. on the ground.

Zhao Qian asked: “My lord, Rong Tongji is also a very important task in Yangzhou. If we arrest him without any basis or evidence, it will definitely make Yangzhou panic.”

Qiyou rolled his eyes at Zhao Qian and said, “If you don’t speak, I won’t treat you as dumb.” How could he not understand what Zhao Qian knew.

Zhao Qian sighed and didn’t dare to speak any more.

About two quarters later, Yan Simao, who was covered in blood and passed out, was tied up by Lu Fei’s confidant Li Donglai and carried to Qiyou.

Li Donglai said to Qiyou: “My lord, this man has great martial arts and injured five of us. My lord, what is the origin of this man?” , this person is really a tough character.

Qiyou didn’t have the patience to explain Li Donglai’s confusion, and asked directly, “Have you done what I asked you to do?”

Li Donglai straightened his back and said, “According to your instructions, Lord, we have surrounded the Rong family and the Yan family. We will arrest them as soon as the Lord gives an order.”

“You can’t let one go, you have to catch them all.”

Li Donglai nodded and said, “Don’t worry, my lord, I guarantee that not a single fly can escape.”

When Rong Tongji woke up, he found that his hands and feet were locked by iron chains.

Looking at Qiyou sitting in front of him, Rong Tongji’s expression changed greatly: “King You, what are you doing?”

Qiyou leaned on him and said with a smile: “Black Mian, speaking of which I really admire you. Who would have thought that Black Mian, who had been tracked by the Ministry of Punishment for ten years, turned out to be a big salt merchant in Yangzhou. Hidden in the city, you know the true meaning of these words.”

Li Donglai was stunned when he heard this. Black Face was the leader of the biggest bandit gang on the Grand Canal twenty years ago. Because he wore a mask every time he appeared, many people gave him the nickname Black Face. This man was cruel and murdered countless people, and the whole Jiangnan talked about his discoloration at that time.

How could Rong Tongji admit: “I don’t know what Your Highness Prince You are talking about?”

Qiyou said with a smile: “If I didn’t have full confidence, how would I dare to call out your nickname. Blackface, I have to say, you are really a character.”

“King You, you used such despicable means in order to devour millions of my family’s wealth. King You, you wantonly framed and ruined people’s lives, aren’t you afraid that the Emperor Taishang and the Empress Dowager will know that you will be severely punished at this time?” , Rong Tongji knew that he was stupid. What King You said before, I was afraid that he was acting with him.

Qiyou laughed straightly: “You are very smart, you know how to use a wealthy businessman as a cover. Unfortunately, you were unlucky and met me.” He has seen the portraits of Rong Tongji and Yan Simao, but as long as he has seen the people or the portraits, he will not will forget.

Of course, Rong Tongji has changed a lot. Although he felt that the other party was familiar, he didn’t think about it in that way. It was not until he met Yan Simao that he was sure that his identity was fake.

Rong Tongji refused to admit it.

Qiyou didn’t expect him to confess with just a few words, that would be too small for the black side.

“Think slowly, when will this king come to see you after you’ve figured it out.” This is just a rhetoric. What Qiyou is waiting for is Yan Simao’s confession and what the Yan Rong family found out.

An hour and a half later, Li Donglai took a box and handed it to Qiyou: “My lord, we found these from Rong Tongji’s wife’s room.”

“His wife?”

Li Donglai said: “Yes, I found it in the main room. My lord, there is no secret room in the Rong family’s main courtyard and Rong Tongji’s study. Dig the Rong family three feet into the ground and find something.”

Qiyou opened the box and saw that there were all silver bills in it. After a casual calculation, there should be more than one million taels of silver.

“Apart from these, are there other things?” Blackface has been a bandit for more than ten years, so this is impossible.

Li Donglai shook his head and said, “That’s all.”

“What about other things?” Hearing that nothing else was found, Qiyou’s face was a little ugly.

After a while, Qiyou said with a smile: “If the black face is so easy to deal with, it is impossible for him to escape the pursuit of the court and become a big salt merchant.” If such a means is used in the right way, it must be a person. .

Li Donglai hesitated and said, “My lord, are you mistaken? I just asked a subordinate who participated in the bandit suppression that year, and he said that the black face is already dead.” Furthermore, even if he didn’t die, he should have gone to the old forest in the mountains. How dare you go to Yangzhou to do business and become a wealthy businessman. This was accidentally revealed, so he felt that there must be something wrong.

Qiyou said with a smile, “How could I dare to arrest someone if I don’t have full confidence in such a big thing.”

Seeing this, Li Donglai didn’t say a word.

Two quarters later, Pan Shengyuan came over: “Yan Simao confessed, he said that Rong Tongji is indeed a black face.”

Pan Shengyuan is a master of torture, unless the prisoner in his hands is really wronged, otherwise there is nothing that he can’t do.

Yan Simao resisted for two hours before confessing, which can be said to be a tough one.

Li Donglai asked, “Then what is the identity of this Yan Simao?”

Pan Shengyuan said: “This Yan Simao is the black ghost of the year, but he once saved the life of the black face, so the black face took him with him when he escaped.”

Winning or losing does not matter. Back then, the nigger saved the black face, and now the black face will die because of him.

With Yan Simao’s confession still in front of Tongji, Qiyou asked, “What else is there to say?”

Yan Simao kept their names incognito after escaping them from Heihe. After the rumors passed, he pretended to be an ordinary wealthy businessman and came to Yangzhou.

Rong Tongji looked at this confession with a face ashes. After a long time, Rong Tongji asked, “I want to know, how did you recognize us?” Back then, he was tall and thin, but he didn’t show his true face. And the nigger has rarely seen him because of his errands. Now, both of them have changed a lot. Especially him, it can be said that he is completely different from before. Unless it is a very familiar person, it is really impossible to recognize him.

Li Donglai and Pan Shengyuan also looked at Qiyou with bright eyes, wanting to know the answer.

Qiyou didn’t answer, but asked, “Who is the person behind your back?” No one behind the scenes offered convenience, and it was impossible to become a salt merchant.

Of course, Qiyou now knows that not all of Rong Tongji’s wealth is from selling salt, most of which are ill-gotten gains. However, he still needs to know who is behind the scenes of helping Rong Tongji.

“Bai Zhenghu.”

Qiyou smiled and said, “Bai Zhenghu only came the year before, but you were in Yangzhou eight years ago, and you became a salt merchant in Yangzhou the next year.” Even if Bai Zhenghu colluded with Rong Tongji, it was in the past two years. .

Rong Tongji looked up at Qiyou and said, “King You, I really missed the point.” Thinking of his wise life, he ended up in the hands of a hairy boy. However, Yun Qiyou has deep scheming and superb skills, and he can only admit it.

Qiyou smiled and said, “It’s not an exaggeration for the sins you committed to be cut by a thousand swords. But if you are willing to recruit the people behind the scenes, I can give you a good time.”

Rong Tongji said: “If you want to kill or slash, please listen and respect.”

Qiyou didn’t let Pan Shengyuan torture him just now, because he knew that he would not be able to admit his identity if he was tortured. Others have said that if the ants are still alive, they will definitely deny it. Under the severe punishment, it was others who made him confess. Qiyou didn’t believe it, he would bite and stop talking.

Qiyou said to the executioner holding the knife, “I’ll leave it to you.” This is the best chopsticks hand in Jinling, and he asked Fu Minglang to come.

The chopsticks hand stared at Rong Tongji and said, “Don’t worry, my lord, if he doesn’t confess, three hundred and sixty-five knives will not be less than a single knife.” Therefore, he hopes that Rong Tongji’s bones will be tougher and he can recruit later.

Qiyou was not interested in observing the execution, so he told Pan Shengyuan to guard him, and he left the execution room.
