Chapter 415 Interrogation of Daoist Ma Jiu
Shortly after seeing off Li Yi's mansion, Wang Fangyi brought Taoist Ma Jiu back.
On the morning of early winter, the branches whimpered by the cold wind.
On the threshing ground at the entrance of the village, Li Chengqian was wearing soft armor and sat on the temporary high platform.
Sanbai Guardians stood solemnly on both sides of Li Chengqian with bright armor and stood with bright steel guns.
Taoist Ma Jiu wore a wide moon-white Taoist robe, which was made of high-quality silk and looked light and elegant when worn on people.
Usually, Priest Ma Jiu wore this Taoist robe and walked slowly with his posture, which made people feel that he was fairy-like when he saw him. Even if he was suspicious of his wife, when he saw Priest Ma Jiu like this, he would feel that he was dirty and had misunderstood the gods.
But today, Principal Ma Jiu was wearing this moon-white Taoist robe, which seemed to be wearing a bed sheet, lowered his head and shrugged his shoulders, and took small steps nervously. His sleeves and clothes couldn't help but shake, and there was no beauty at all.
Li Chengqian sat on the platform and looked at Taoist Ma Jiu walking over, and snorted coldly in his nose. This is how these people are. By cheating and being praised by stupid people, they don’t know who they are.
"Why don't you meet my young master soon!" Cheng Wuting shouted coldly.
Master Ma Jiu didn't care about anything he thought when he heard this, and hurriedly lay on the ground and kowtowed: "I've seen the young master, I've seen the young master..."
Seeing that Priest Ma Jiu had almost scared him, Li Chengqian said softly and ordered Zhou Jin to come forward to interrogate him. Li Chengqian would not talk to him personally for someone like Ma Jiu.
Zhou Jin walked to the front of Yinjiu with a dark face.
Although Zhou Jin was short, he was full of righteousness and majesty. He walked to Priest Ma Jiu, looked down at Priest Ma Jiu, and asked indifferently: "Is it Ma Jiu kneeling down?"
Master Ma Jiu looked up and then quickly lowered his head and said, "It's a villain."
"Are you the mastermind of the Sanming Immortal Sect's plot against you?" Zhou Jin asked directly.
"Yes? Ah! No, no, this is all, Cai Wenying, Cai Wenying, Huang Feifeng and Chen Shuai!" Ma Jiu said the names of the three people without any choice.
Hearing the light "um" above, he stopped quickly, and regretted not saying it out by Li Bancheng, Daowang and others.
"Since you are not the mastermind, or you can survive, how did you plan to attract them as they are?" Zhou Jin's tone eased slightly.
"It's not all them--!" Ma Jiu wanted to say Li Bancheng.
"Um--?"
Li Chengqian couldn't help but nodded coldly.
"Tell me quickly, if you don't tell the truth, I will kill you to the sacrifice flag immediately." Zhou Jin shouted angrily.
"I said, these things were actually done by Li Bancheng and the government... They said that the new magistrate Zhou was the confidant of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. As long as he took office, we would rebel, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent people to rebel." Ma Jiu told everything together like a bamboo tube.
Li Chengqian knew it when he heard this, but he never expected that these people would not take human lives seriously and dared to mess up a place just to label him an unkind hat.
You should know that the two counties are in chaos, and I don’t know how many people will be destroyed.
Li Chengqian waved his hand and ordered someone to pull Ma Jiu down.
"Your Highness, I think you should go to Luoyang to send troops immediately and capture the rebels in one net." Pei Xingjian hurriedly suggested to Li Chengqian.
Li Chengqian glanced at Xue Rengui and said, "These people gathered together are just a group of mobs, and they are not enough to cause trouble to the Tang Dynasty."
Xue Rengui stepped forward and bowed and said, "I am willing to lead troops to eliminate the rebellion."
Li Chengqian nodded and was about to speak when he saw Pei Xingjian hurriedly saying, "No! Although the rebels are a mob, the three hundred cavalrymen have taken risks."
Li Chengqian was so angry that Pei Xingjian looked at him and said, "Listen to me first."
Pei Xingjian hurriedly lowered his head and waited for Li Chengqian to speak.
Li Chengqian looked up and saw that the fields were all bare and white. He knew that people here did not grow winter wheat. He said in a low voice: "There is a way that does not break or stand. Since this place is rotten, then let the Lone King let it be a little bit thorough."
Xue Rengui and Pei Xingjian were confused when they heard this. They looked at each other. Pei Xingjian hurriedly asked, "What does the Crown Prince mean?"
Li Chengqian ignored him and ordered Xue Rengui directly: "Rengui, you will take three teams of troops along the road that Li Yi Mansion and find Huang Feifeng's nest. First capture Huang Feifeng and take over the refugees there."
Xue Rengui took the order and left after hearing this.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince wants to use these refugees?" Pei Xingjian couldn't help asking.
A cold smile appeared on the corner of Li Chengqian's mouth and said, "Why can the gentry use it, why can't the Lone King use it? Since they are rich and unkind, the Lone King will completely remove his foundation."
Pei Xingjian had already guessed Li Chengqian's crazy thoughts, and his face couldn't help but turn a little pale.
Li Chengqian ignored him and ordered directly: "Go and bring Ma Jiu."
A small school was busy sending the mission, and soon Zhou Jin personally walked downstairs with Principal Ma Jiu.
After this time, Priest Ma Jiu had already reported everything he knew to Zhou Jin, and at the same time he calmed down his mood and was no longer as scared as before.
Li Chengqian got up and walked to the edge of the platform, looking at Ma Jiu with murderous intent in his eyes, and asked in a cold voice: "Is Ma Jiu willing to make meritorious service?"
Master Ma Jiu was shivered by Li Chengqian's eyes, and his mind had just stabilized suddenly fell back. He heard this and knelt down and said, "I am willing!"
"Okay! Go back now and let Chen Shuai and Cai Wenying rebel immediately, and then start looting the big families in the county."
Master Ma Jiu said in a hint of embarrassment: "But the Dao King's intention is that he must wait until the new county magistrate arrives before the uprising. The people of Cao Gu are afraid that they will not be able to persuade Cai Wenying."
Li Chengqian glanced at Taoist Ma Jiu with sharp eyes.
Ma Jiu was so scared that he shivered, but he still said: "It's true. Caomin didn't know why Cai Wenying listened to the Taoist King so much in this matter..." Taoist Ma Jiu said as he stayed in the place to beg for mercy.
"You mean Cai Wenying has some things that don't listen to the Taoist King?" Li Chengqian was very curious and said that it is normal for these civil scammers to be used by officials. Cai Wenying seems to have other plans?
"After the young master, as far as Cao Min knows, Cai Wenying only used the Dao King and the governor Dai at the beginning to make the local government turn a blind eye to the development of the Sanming Immortal Sect and give some weapons and food.
Because Huang Feifeng could not turn around and wanted to be a dog of the gentry, Cai Wenying sent Huang Feifeng to Yichuan County." Ma Jiu said everything he knew.
Li Chengqian heard this and said intimately: It's okay, Cai Wenying from Song County is not united with the Daowang. I just happened to pacify Yichuan County first. After Yichuan County was pacified, it would have nothing to do with Cai Wenying's thoughts.
"Young Master is better than me to take office in Song County, so that Cai Wenying can rebel quickly." Zhou Jin made a statement.
Li Chengqian glanced at Zhou Jin and directly rejected: "No. This trip is too dangerous."
Zhou Jin was moved when he heard this, and bowed again, and said solemnly: "I have received the kindness of the young master who knows the favor of his son. I often say that I am willing to go through fire and water for him. What is this danger? Besides—" As he said that, he turned his head and looked at Master Ma Jiu.
Li Chengqian followed his gaze and thought that with the inner protection of Master Ma Jiu, Zhou Jin should not have any accidents.
Then he nodded and agreed.
"If Ma Jiu was the magistrate of Zhou, what would happen? The Lone King would cut you and your family into pieces."
Priest Ma Jiu had been guessing Li Chengqian's identity. At this time, he called himself the Lone King and wanted to cut his whole family into pieces. He was so scared that his face looked like earthy, kowtowed like pounding garlic, and kept assured.
Li Chengqian was too lazy to see him and looked at Zhou Jin sincerely and said, "Be careful of everything in the Zhou Qing family. I have received help from Qing family in the past or two years, and I can't live without you."
When Zhou Jin heard this, he bowed to Li Chengqian with tears in his eyes, and then turned around and left tragically.
