113. Interrogation
Before dawn, the river water was as black as ink.
Chen Ji's head emerged from the water, breathing heavily. The cold touch seemed to penetrate through his skin, into the gaps between his bones, and into his marrow.
The soaked clothes stuck to my body, unable to retain any warmth.
Chen Ji looked around the water, trying to find the trace of Manager Yuan in the waves, but was suddenly attracted by the scenery above his head. Meteors flew across the river, dragging long comet tails, like a meteor shower that rarely appears in several years, brilliant and glorious. With the bowstring fully drawn, the meteor flew across a distance of a hundred steps, and the more than 20 elephant armor guards on the bridge did not even have the room to fight back, and were pierced by it. A tattooed man on the bridge hid on the other side of the carriage, avoiding the meteors, and took out a copper whistle from his waist and blew it. The dense elephant armor guards heard the whistle pouring out of the alley. Rushed to the Peony Bridge like a brown torrent. The tattooed man roared, "Catch the golden pig to cover the second master's departure. It's just a Pegasus. I don't believe he can fire hundreds of bows in a row. But just as the voice fell, the sound of iron hooves came from the distance,
The sound of iron hooves approached from afar, as if a large battle formation was about to break through the icy river. Chen Ji turned his head suddenly and saw a middle-aged man wearing a straw raincoat and a bamboo hat standing quietly on the eaves of a pavilion in the distance. He was like a black hawk, holding a black flag in the flickering firelight, pointing at the Peony Arch Bridge in the distance. On the flag, the two characters "Jie Fan" were embroidered in gold thread.
It’s Lin Chaoqing.
Tianma also transferred the Jiefan Guards from Mengjin Camp.
Chen Ji stared at the golden pig on the bridge, which was bending over and dodging in a panic, and finally took the opportunity to jump into the water.
It looks like we won’t be able to kill the golden pig today.
Although Liu Mingxian's plan was huge, the Silijian seemed to be better at breaking the deadlock.
The overall situation has been decided.
But what Chen Ji has to do tonight is not over yet.
At this moment, the sound of water waves came from not far away. I saw Manager Yuan swimming hard towards the west, stirring up the water continuously. Chen Ji followed carefully, neither getting closer nor moving away.
Shopkeeper Yuan turned around and gave him a cold look, swimming even faster. The two of them, one in front and one behind, were surrounded by flames and shouts of killing behind them, while here only the sound of splashing water remained. The flames reflected on the black river surface, as if even the icy Luo River water had ignited a cold flame. Chen Ji swam while shouting, "Don't run away! You have a penetrating wound in your leg. Where can you escape to?" Shopkeeper Yuan sneered and did not answer.
Chen Ji continued to shout: "Cooperate with my Secret Service and I may spare your life.
Manager Yuan still didn't answer, but just swam towards the shore.
Chen Ji swam hard for a few times to catch up, but Manager Yuan suddenly turned around and kicked him on the head.
Amid the undercurrent, Chen Ji was kicked to the bottom of the river, with his mouth and nose submerged in the cold water. If it weren't for the resistance in the water, he would probably have fainted immediately.
He shook his head, kicked his legs hard at the bottom of the river, and actually gritted his teeth and followed again. Shopkeeper Yuan looked back, and felt that a lone wolf was following him, as if it wanted to drag him to death in the deserted wilderness. A moment later, he limped on the pebbles and slowly waded ashore. Shopkeeper Yuan looked down at the wound, and saw a blood hole as thick as a thumb on his thigh that was still bleeding, soaking his pants purple. As he lowered his head, he heard a whistling sound of breaking wind. He tilted his head slightly, and a flying stone brushed his ear and fell on the mudflat in the distance. Shopkeeper Yuan looked back, and saw Chen Ji standing in waist-deep water. He bent down, picked up a few pebbles from the water, grabbed them in his hand, and threw them over one by one. He laughed angrily: "Who the hell are you? You dare to chase me after picking up a few pebbles?" The conspiracy department only pays you a few taels of silver a month. Why are you risking your life with me? Chen Ji didn't say anything.
Shopkeeper Yuan wanted to lower his head and tear off the hem of his clothes to wrap around the wound to stop the bleeding. If he didn't stop the bleeding, he wouldn't be able to escape far. However, just as he lowered his head, he heard the sound of stones coming towards him again.
Manager Yuan easily dodged and pretended to go back into the river to kill Chen Ji first, but just as he moved, Chen Ji immediately squatted in the water and returned to the river.
He was so angry that veins on his forehead were throbbing: "You think you can delay time?
After that, Shopkeeper Yuan simply stopped paying attention to Chen Ji, not even avoiding the flying pebbles, and focused on bandaging the wound. A pebble thrown by an ordinary person would not cause any serious injury even if it hit him.
The next moment.
With a thud.
A huge stone hit Manager Yuan on the forehead, causing his eyes to go black and he staggered several steps to the right.
He looked over with wide eyes, only to see Chen Ji struggling to pull a stone the size of his head from the river. The young man in the river was pale, his lips were white, and he was shivering with cold, just like the pebbles at the bottom of the Luo River, cold and hard. "You, damn it, are you done yet?"
Shopkeeper Yuan narrowed his eyes and said: "Don't bother me anymore.
I will give you more money than you can spend in your lifetime. It will be much better than working in the Secret Service.
Chen Ji sneered: "You can talk about it after you survive tonight.
At this moment, someone not far away said with a smile: "You look down on the salary of my Secret Service Department. Can your Military Intelligence Department give more? Excuse me, this person in front of us is the Chief of the Military Intelligence Department. We have been searching for you for a long time.
Shopkeeper Yuan turned around suddenly and saw that the Golden Pig had arrived at some point in time, his clothes still dripping with water, and he was slowly walking up to the shore from the river while squatting in the water.
Middle of the river.
On a small black-sailed boat, an old man in a straw raincoat was holding a long oar and slowly approaching with a white-robed Pegasus.
Tianma stood on the bow of the ship motionless, like a magic needle that stabilizes the sea, as if as long as he was there, the river would not be able to cause any huge waves.
Manager Yuan wanted to escape to the river bank, but just as he turned around, he saw a man squatting on the river bank behind him, staring at him with a smile.
The man was wearing a bright brown shirt with a large collar and a large placket. He stood up and walked down the river bank to the mudflat.
His robe was embroidered with dozens of brightly colored wild pheasants, his face was white and beardless, and his hair was neat and shiny, just like a famous actress on stage.
Dream chicken.
Shopkeeper Yuan said in a stern voice, "The twelve zodiac animals have already reached the third one, and even the Pegasus, the third one, has appeared. It's really a big deal, but instead of arresting Liu Mingxian, you all come to play with me."
The Golden Pig laughed and said, "Since the Minister of Internal Affairs wants the Liu family dead, there's no reason for him to live. Liu is obviously just a small-time figure. The Liu family's roots are in Yuzhou. Where can he go? Don't struggle. Just surrender."
Manager Yuan did not answer, but turned around and rushed towards Chen Ji, intending to take the thief away with him before he died.
But when he turned around, he found that Chen Ji seemed to have anticipated his intention and had returned to the river early.
The next moment, a meteor flew from the center of the river and pierced through Manager Yuan's other good leg.
Jinzhu walked up with a smile and turned Manager Yuan over and pressed him to the ground.
He took out a small knife from his sleeve, cut off a strand of Yuan's hair and handed it to him: "Mengji, interrogate him here. And the kid in the river, interrogate him here as well."
.
Golden Pig squatted on the ground, turned his head to look at the traces in the river, and said slowly: "I can only feel at ease after I have tried him.
