Daming King of Punishment

Page 894

Seeing that more than an hour passed like this, Bai Zhuo became impatient, and he himself was about to become a little irritable.

Song Wuya let the three of them leave after feeling that there was really nothing left to ask.

He didn't end there, but asked the yamen servant to bring the rest of the people.

"How does the magistrate treat you on weekdays?"

Song Wuya still started with this question, asking these people.Of course, the answers they got were basically the same. Those servants who had been in contact with the prefect for less than a year also felt that the prefect was a good person.

"Master Zhifu treats us very well, and never beats or scolds us!"

"Recently, have you noticed anything wrong with the prefect?"

"This was not found."

"Then recently, have you seen any strange people appearing around here? For example, they have been wandering around the backyard of the Yamen, or are they interested in asking you about things?"

"Have!"

After a brief hesitation, someone suddenly nodded and said, which brought Song Wuya a pleasant surprise.

"Who is it? Tell me quickly." Before Song Wuya could ask, Bai Zhuo couldn't wait to ask.

The person who just nodded his head said immediately: "Some time ago, I often saw a few people wandering outside. At that time, I thought these people were very strange. As the servant of the magistrate, the young one has always been confident. Very satisfied, so I went directly to ask those people. As soon as I asked, they immediately put money in my hand and asked me about the prefect."

"Then what did he say?" Song Wuya asked immediately.

The servant shook his head and said, "They asked me that, but I didn't answer them after I took the money. But when I asked them what they wanted to do, they said they wanted to know what the magistrate likes. We all know that the magistrate doesn't let us accept gifts from others. Come here, as soon as I heard this, I knew that this must be trying to bribe the adults, so I sent them away."

"Hiss!" Song Wuya took a breath and frowned, "Didn't you hide anything from me?"

Song Wuya didn't think his words were true. After all, he said that he took advantage of others. Such a person must be a greedy person, and it is impossible for him to do nothing.

Sure enough, when Song Wuya said this, the servant's expression became a little flustered, but he still pretended to be calm and shook his head: "No...no, absolutely not, how dare the little one deceive you, my lord?"

His answer already shows that he is guilty now, Song Wuya immediately frowned and shouted sharply: "You'd better tell me honestly, before I get angry. This is related to your master's life , if you dare to hide anything from this official, then this official will convict you of murdering the court official as an accomplice!"

A small servant, who could bear Song Wuya's anger, knelt down on the ground after trembling all over.

Seeing this, the other servants beside him were also filled with anger.

"Have you forgotten how the magistrate treats us on weekdays? Now that the magistrate has suffered such misfortune, you still have to hide something from the imperial envoy! Do you not want to find the murderer who killed him? If you don't tell the imperial envoy To be clear, we will not spare you!"

Chapter 31 The Suspicious Person

?Chapter 31 Suspicious person

Under the double threat of Song Wuya and the other servants, the servant who just said that he took money from others suddenly withered.Looking at his appearance, he knew that he hadn't told the truth completely. There must be other plots in this matter, but he didn't want to tell it for his own reasons.

"I said, I said!" The man shouted hastily, for fear that the servants beside him would attack him.

After he said that, the people next to him didn't pursue anything, but they still stared at him fiercely.

Now he can be regarded as being honest, in front of so many people, if he dares to be dishonest again, I'm afraid he will really have to eat and walk away.

Everyone just stared at him, waiting for him to tell the truth about what he said before.

The man knelt on the ground and bowed his head. Everyone was a little impatient when they waited for a long time and didn't see him speak.

It was at this time that he said hesitantly, "He gave me the money and asked me to tell him when the magistrate will go out."

After hearing this, the servants behind him immediately became angry.Before Song Wuya and Bai Zhuo could react, the men rushed forward and beat them.

"You bastard! It turns out that you killed the magistrate!"

Hearing this, although everyone understood.The whereabouts of the magistrate was leaked by this guy, which immediately made everyone angry, and they grabbed him and beat him.

"Don't fight, don't fight!" Song Wuya asked them to fight without saying a word, and hurriedly dissuaded them.

Fortunately, what he said as an imperial envoy was still effective, and the servants gradually stopped after hearing his words.

The anger of these servants, Song Wuya, was also understandable, after all, the magistrate treated them kindly on weekdays, but now that the magistrate was murdered, they were naturally filled with resentment.

After calling these people to stop, Bai Zhuo gave Song Wuya a hand, motioning him to step aside and have something to say to him.

The two came to a remote place, and after avoiding the servants, Bai Zhuo said: "Brother Wu Ya, don't you think this is a bit strange?"

"It's a little strange." Hearing Bai Zhuo's question, Song Wuya knew what he was going to say.

"Since the Dark Night Church of the Wuliang Sect has been here for so long, it is impossible for them not to know the prefect's whereabouts. Moreover, the prefect has been meeting with that woman privately in this Huai'an mansion for a long time, presumably they should have already mastered it. Yes. But why did they buy the servants of the Master of the Notification Mansion to find out his whereabouts?"

Just as Song Wuya expected, he knew Bai Zhuo was going to say this just now.This is also where he was puzzled before, and now he said directly: "There is only one explanation, they are short of manpower, and they can't keep an eye on the prefect for a long time, so there is such a thing."

"Could it be that we went to the wrong place?" Bai Zhuo frowned, not only finding this incident strange, but also thinking that it explained some problems.

It's really hard to say if he went to the wrong place.But what this servant said really shows that there should be a problem with the staff inside the Wuliang Sect. If they are like this, they must not be able to keep an eye on the prefect all day long.

If there is another explanation, it can only be said that the person who bribed the servant is not a person of Wuliangjiao.

But the sequence of these two things is exactly the same, and it stands to reason that it should not be someone else.

The two suddenly murmured about this matter, but they were not sure what was going on.

After saying a few words casually, Song Wuya turned his head to look at the servant and asked: "The person who bribed you, do you know where he ends up?"

"I know, I know!" The servant said hurriedly.

At this time, as long as Song Wuya could use him a little bit, he would be eager to help.After all, this is also his only chance to take the blame and make meritorious deeds.

"Then you take us there!" Song Wuya said without hesitation, asking him to lead them to where the other party stayed.

Although Song Wuya did this, he didn't have much hope for this matter in his heart.After all, with Wuliangjiao's style of doing things, it is absolutely impossible for such clues to fall into Song Wuya's hands.

With the imperial guard and the servant, the group left the magistrate's yamen directly, and followed the path he led, heading directly to a place in the city.

That place is not far from the magistrate's yamen, and it is a not very big inn.

"Is this the place?" Song Wuya led someone into the inn, and asked the servant.

In the inn, the shopkeeper and the waiter were overjoyed when they saw so many people running directly into the inn, thinking that there were so many guests.

But when they came to the front, seeing these people's faces were gloomy, they didn't look like they were good-natured, and they muttered.

It's no wonder they were so surprised, after all, Song Wuya and the imperial guards were all dressed in ordinary clothes, and they couldn't see the official appearance at all.

"Several guests, who are you?" The shopkeeper saw that these people were not right, but he still had the courage to step forward and ask, after all, this was his inn.

Song Wuya turned his head to look at the shopkeeper, then turned to look at the servant and said, "Lead the way!"
