Chapter 1931

After Meng Xuemin received Qiyou's letter, he went to the palace to see Qihao.

After reading the letter, Qihao said with a smile: "since King Youwang wants you to send the portraits of the wanted criminals to him, then send them to him!" Outsiders do not know, Kai Hao is cleared. He will never forget anyone Qiyou has met. I think I saw the wanted man hiding in Yangzhou City this time.

Meng Xuemin hesitated and said, "emperor, I wonder if I should send captor Duan to Yangzhou to help you Wang." Although king you was not active as a messenger, he knew his ability. It's estimated that we found the trace of the wanted man before we asked him for the portrait of the wanted man these years.

However, these people are extremely vicious and murderous. He is afraid that Qiyou will be in danger when he catches them. Therefore, I want to send the best captors of the Ministry of punishment to assist.

Kai Hao shook his head and said, "No. If you send a captor in the past, it will frighten the snake, which will destroy Qiyou's plan. " If Qiyou had such a request, he would have asked for it. I didn't mention it. I think I'm sure I'll catch this man.

Five days later, a thick image of the wanted man came to Qiyou. At this time, Qi you's illness has been cured.

After reading these images, Qiyou immediately wrote a letter to Lu Fei for personal escort. Then, Qiyou invited Rong Tongji to dinner.

Sitting on the dining table and looking at the wine on it, Rong Tongji said, "Lord, you are just fit. Don't drink any more."

Qiyou said with a smile, "I don't want to drink more this time, just have a drink. But before I go back to Beijing, I'm sure I'll have to go to the boat again. We won't get drunk or come back. "

Zhao Qian took the jug and poured wine for Qiyou first, and then for Rong Tongji.

Qi you lifted his glass and said with a smile, "master Rong, come here. Thank you for your hospitality last time. I haven't had so much fun growing up. "

Anyway, he is now a poor man who is too strict with his parents and has no freedom of life. Such a person, it is easy to reduce the vigilance of others.

Rong Tongji is also very forthright, picked up the glass and killed: "Lord, you are free."

Qi you's mouth touched his glass and sipped: "pour another glass for master Rong..."

After drinking the second glass of wine, Rong Tongji felt dizzy. As soon as he felt that his body was not right, he immediately said, "Lord, I have a terrible headache. Mr. Wang, I'm going home. I'll drink the wine next time. "

Qiyou said with concern: "just good, how suddenly headache."

With his head getting heavier and heavier, Rong Tongji said with difficulty: "it should be an old disease. Wang Ye, I have medicine at home, and when I go home, I will take it... "Before I finish, I fell to the ground with a thud.

Zhao Qian asked, "Mr. Wang, Rong Tongji is also one of the most important tasks in Yangzhou. If we arrest him without evidence, we will surely make Yangzhou people panic. "

Qi you glanced at Zhao Qian and said, "if you don't speak, I won't treat you as dumb." How can Zhao Qian not understand what he knows.

Zhao Qian did not dare to speak again.

About two quarters of an hour later, Yan Simao, who was in a coma and covered with blood, was carried to Qiyou by Lu Fei's confidant Li Donglai.

Li Dong came to Qiyou and said, "Wang Ye, this man is very good at martial arts and has hurt five of us. Lord, what's the origin of this man? " They were numerous and arranged ahead of time. As a result, five people were injured by him. He was really a tough character.

Qiyou didn't have so much patience to dispel Li Dong's doubts. He asked directly, "have you done what I asked you to do?"

Li Donglai straightened his back and said, "according to your instructions, we have surrounded the Rong family and Yan family. Just wait for the Lord's order, and they will be arrested. "

"You can't let one go, you have to catch all of them."

Li Donglai nodded and said, "don't worry, Wang Ye. You can't escape a fly."

When Rong Tongji woke up, he found that his hands and feet were all chained.

Looking at Qiyou sitting in front of him, Rong Tongji's face changed greatly: "king you, what are you doing?"

Qi you leaned on the table and said with a smile, "black face, I really admire you. Who would have thought that after ten years of tracking by the Ministry of punishment, he became a big salt merchant in Yangzhou. You know the true meaning of the words "big hermit in the court, small hermit in the city."

Li Donglai was stunned at this. Black face was the leader of the biggest bandit gang on the Grand Canal 20 years ago. Many people nicknamed him black face because he wore a mask every time he appeared. At that time, the whole south of the Yangtze River turned pale.

Rong Tongji admitted: "I don't know what you're talking about, your highness."

Qiyou said jokingly, "if I'm not sure, how dare I call you a nickname. Black face, I have to say, you are really a character. "

"You Wang, in order to eat my millions of wealth alone, you used such mean means. King you, if you plant people's lives wantonly, are you not afraid that the emperor and the Empress Dowager will be punished severely? " With these words, Rong Tongji knew he was stupid. What you Wang said before, I'm afraid it's all about acting with him.

Qiyou laughed straight: "you are very smart and know how to use rich businessmen to cover yourself. Unfortunately, I was not lucky enough to meet you. " He has seen the portraits of Rong Tongji and Yan Simao, and he will never forget the people or portraits he has seen.

Of course, Rong Tongji has changed a lot. Although he feels that the other party is familiar, he doesn'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 to let him confess in a few words. That's too much to look down on the black face.

"Take your time. I'll come to see you when I've figured it out." This is just a speech. What Qiyou wants to wait for is Yan Simao's confession and Yan Rong's search.

An hour and a half later, Li Donglai took a box and handed it to Qiyou: "Mr. Wang, we found these from Rong Tongji's wife's room."

"His wife?"

Li Donglai said, "yes, I found it in the main room. Wang Ye, there is no secret room in Rong's main courtyard and Rong Tongji's study. If you dig the Rong family three feet, you'll find something. "

Qiyou opens the box and sees that there are all banknotes in it. If you just calculate, there should be more than one million taels of silver.

"Is there anything else besides these?" Black face has been a bandit for more than ten years. It can't be just this.

Li Donglai shook his head and said, "that's all."

"What about the rest?" Hearing nothing else, Qi you's face is a little ugly.

Half ring, Qi you said with a smile: "if black face is so easy to deal with, he can't escape the imperial court and become a big salt merchant." Such a bold means, if used in the right way, must be a character..

Li Donglai hesitated and said, "Lord, are you wrong. I just asked a subordinate who participated in the suppression of bandits that year. He said that the black face was dead. " Moreover, even if he is not dead, he should go to the mountains and live in the woods. How dare he go to Yangzhou to do business and become a rich businessman. It was a mistake, so he thought there must be something wrong.

Qiyou said with a smile: "such a big thing, without full assurance, how dare I arrest people."

When Li Donglai saw this, he said nothing more.

Two quarters of an hour later, pan Shengyuan came over: "Yan Simao confessed, he said Rong Tongji is really a black face."

Pan Shengyuan is a master of torture. Unless the criminals in his hands are really wronged, they will not fail to recruit.

Yan Simao resisted for two hours before he confessed, which can be said to be tough.

Li Donglai asked, "what's the identity of Yan Simao?"

Pan Shengyuan said: "Yan Simao was the nigger of that year, but he once saved the life of heimian, so he took him with him when heimian ran away."

Success is Xiao He, failure is Xiao He. In those days, the nigger saved his life, but now he will die because of him.

When Yan Simao's confession was still in front of Rong Tongji, Qiyou asked, "what else can I say now?"

After Yan Simao escaped from Heihe River, he disguised them as ordinary rich businessmen and came to Yangzhou.

Rong Tongji looked at the confession with a dead face. After a long time, Rong Tongji asked: "I want to know, how do you recognize us?" At that time, he was tall and thin, and did not show his true face. And because nigger is engaged in prying information, few people have seen him. Now, both of them have changed a lot. In particular, he is quite different from before. You can't really recognize him unless you are very familiar with him.

Li Donglai and pan Shengyuan also look at Qiyou with bright eyes and want to know the answer.

But Qiyou didn't answer, but asked, "who are you behind the scenes?" It's impossible to be a salt merchant if no one offers convenience behind him.

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

"Bai Zhenghu."

Qiyou said with a smile, "Bai Zhenghu just came here the year before last, but you were in Yangzhou eight years ago. The next year, you became a salt merchant in Yangzhou." 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 lost my sight." I think he is wise all my life, but he is in the hands of a little boy. However, Yun Qiyou's deep-seated and skillful, so he can only admit it.

Qiyou said with a smile: "with the sins you have committed, you can't cut them to pieces. But if you are willing to bring out the people behind the scenes, I can give you a good time. "

Rong Tongji said, "if you want to kill or cut, you can do as you please."

Just now, Qiyou didn't let pan Shengyuan torture him because he knew that he couldn't admit his identity. Others said, mole ant still lives secretly, that certainly gnaws one's teeth not to recognize. Under the heavy sentence, it was others who made him confess. Qiyou doesn't believe it. He won't say anything.

Qiyou said to the executioner with the knife, "it's up to you." This is the best chopstick hand in Jinling. It's from Fu Mingming.

Chopsticks hand staring at Rong Tongji, said: "Wang Ye rest assured, if he does not confess, 365 knife, a knife will not be less." Such people deserve to die. Therefore, he hopes that Rong Tongji can be tough and recruit later.

Qiyou is not interested in observing the punishment. He tells pan Shengyuan to keep it, so he goes out of the prison.
