Thinking of this, Zhao Que leaned back and put his entire body under the sun.
It was Constable Gu who was originally supposed to be the one to escort the official silver.
However, his wife died and he needed to take care of the funeral, so he let his brother go.
Unexpectedly, this is exactly the separation between life and death.
“All the people in the world are busy and bustling about, all for wealth and profit.
Just a gentle push and they'll surge forward."
At this moment, in the dungeon of Yangzhou, Hou Xiangyang was covered with wounds, without a single piece of healthy flesh, and his breath was weak. He couldn't die even if he wanted to.
Now he couldn't even scream, even if he told the truth at the first moment.
But these people did not hold back at all.
You said it so easily that they thought you were lying to them?
So all eighteen kinds of torture were used.
The information we received is reliable.
At this moment, Captain Ye's cultivation had been destroyed, and the tendons in his hands and feet had been cut, leaving him completely useless.
His mouth was full of teeth and tongue that had been pulled out, bleeding profusely, because he truly knew nothing.
Zhao Li naturally would not do these things.
He was currently at his office in the yamen, leisurely drinking tea and waiting for news.
Constable Gu was watching from the side, but his eyes were wandering and he seemed a little absent-minded.
"Sir, this is the map I got from that man. Please take a look at it."
A constable who took action wiped his bloody hands and spoke respectfully to Gu Shenbu.
But he didn't get any answer. After a long time, he shouted again.
"Master Gu, this is the map we found. That person said he found the treasures on this map."
"Oh oh." The continuous reminders brought Gu Shenbu's thoughts back. He seemed a little nervous at the moment.
It seems very uncomfortable. You know, basically, when you reach the congenital stage, you are already immune to cold and heat.
As long as the temperature is not extreme, it can be regulated with true Qi.
He took the map in front of him with some trembling, as if he was very worried that the things on the map would threaten him.
Looking at the location marked on the map, Captain Gu Shen breathed a sigh of relief.
He quickly asked, "Did that person say anything?"
"No, he said he picked up the map." The constable replied respectfully.
"Why? As a famous golden detective.
Even murdering one's own brother is terrifying."
The originally respectful constable suddenly moved closer to the ear of Gu Shenbo and whispered.
The words spoken shocked the master so much that he put away the map in his hand.
He stared intently at the seemingly ordinary constable in front of him: "Are you one of them? Who are you?"
"Oh, you can call me Han Chan, you don't need to know who I am.
Most of the marked areas on this map are the courtyards of the Canghai Gang.
And those treasures were naturally robbed by the Canghai Gang, do you understand?"
The constable had an ordinary face, a very common one, and was Luowang's killer-level master.
His strength was only at the peak of the innate realm, but he was able to firmly control the master in front of him.
"You are one of theirs? That's not what you said at the beginning."
Captain Gu lowered his voice and didn't dare to take action here.
I'm very angry that someone is blaming others for this kind of thing.
If you get exposed, you will get yourself into trouble.
"Huh? You leaked the transportation route for money.
He harmed his brother and now he is afraid of this.
Don’t think that you can’t find out if you don’t have any clues. That’s because you are investigating.
In order to avoid being exposed, the best way is naturally to find someone to take the blame.
Then the Canghai Gang is the best choice."
"Is this all your plan? Is this Hou also your pawn? Why didn't you tell me?"
Gu Shenbo was panting heavily. He had lost a lot of money because of gambling, and his wife and daughter were separated.
However, some people took notice of the plan to rob government silver.
To fill the debts from gambling.
He had no choice but to cheat his brother out of the route map to kill him.
He robbed the official silver and then applied for an investigation into the matter using the words of revenge.
I investigated myself and naturally found no clues after a long time.
So when he saw Hou Xiangyang, he was afraid that something might have happened to his partner.
If he gave me away, I would lose my life.
But I didn't expect that this was the plan of these people.
Bringing out this kind of thing is like dancing on a tightrope, isn't it?
“What we do is, we won’t harm you.
Everyone needs an explanation for this matter, you understand."
Having said these words, the cicada left.
Upon hearing this, Gu Shenpo threatened, "This is the last time. I don't want this to happen again.
If you force me, the worst that can happen is that both of us will die.
Don't think you're hiding well. You're the second largest gang in Jiangnan? Haisha Gang, right?"
It is impossible for Gu Shenbo to be captured like this, after all he is a master.
However, he had already guessed who was the force cooperating with him to rob the government silver.
The constable did not answer, but walked away.
Gu Shenbo held the map and thought for a moment, but he also acknowledged these words.
If Zhao Li, the eighth prince, wants to make a contribution here, he has to solve the case, which naturally requires merit.
As for who the target is and whether the evidence is complete, it doesn't seem to be particularly important.
In a sense, as soon as Hou Xiangyang's map appeared, he and Zhao Li had the same purpose.
Thinking of this, Constable Gu Shenfei tidied up some clothes and walked towards the yamen.
"Your Highness, the interrogation has been clear. This Hou Xiangyang is a member of the Canghai Gang."
Gu Shenbu said to Zhao Li that he knew that most of the treasures marked on the map were in the territory of the Canghai Gang.
Zhao Li nodded and looked at Gu Shenpo, waiting for his next words.
"There are many places marked on this map, which I think are where the thieves hid the government silver.
These places are the courtyards of the Canghai Gang. They are not the core areas, but just remote courtyards. I think they are hidden in these places."
"Canghai Gang? The largest gang in Jiangnan? They do have that strength." Zhao Li nodded, thought for a while, and took out his token.
"Take the things and go find General Gu. Have him take some of his men and surround the Canghai Gang."
General Gu is naturally the garrison general of Yangzhou.
His cultivation has reached that of a grandmaster, and he has nearly ten thousand defenders under his command.
Dealing with a gang is easy.
