Chapter 419 There is the sound of pigeons...
Mao Shurong said blankly, "It seems so. I feel that what I did was wrong, but I don't care about it in my heart. I only have the idea of dying for Baihualou. For Baihualou, family, relatives, friends, everything else is put in the back. Now that I think about it, Baihualou means nothing. Family, friends and relatives are the most important people to me. I deeply regret doing those dishonest things for Baihualou. I was just a scholar originally, but after foolishly joining Baihualou, I killed too many lives. In my next life, I can only be reborn as an animal to wash away my sins."
"Then do you know why Baihualou wants to hunt down the young prince of Xiang?"
"I'm not sure, I just received the order. I haven't been in Baihua Tower for long, so the owner or deputy owner won't tell us the reasons for some things. We just need to follow their orders. But I heard from my former subordinates that they hunted down the remnants of Prince Xiang's Mansion. They've done it before and have been searching for someone named Li Niang. They're afraid that if Prince Xiang is vindicated, someone will go after Li Niang. I'm responsible for hunting down the young master, and the order I received is to do it at all costs..."
Everyone's faces turned pale when they heard this.
"I can confess everything I know, all the bad things I have done, or everything I know about Baihua Tower. I beg all officials, can you please only punish me? I am the only one who deserves it, please let my family go! Is that okay? Please, I can also expel insects. If you don't kill me, I can also be used by the court. I promise to draw a clear line with Baihua Tower in the future. I don't want to be controlled by them anymore..." Mao Shurong said sincerely.
He was in a weak state and had to gasp for breath when speaking.
Jiang Lianzhu gently bumped Liao Jiu's arm.
Liao Jiu said, "Your attitude of admitting your mistakes is good. We will seriously consider your words. As long as what you said is true and you helped us destroy Baihua Tower in one fell swoop, you must have made great contributions. You can even use your merits to offset your sins."
"I promise that everything I said is true, not a single lie. I also know the art of repelling insects. My master taught me this art. Before, I only knew a little bit of insect language. After he accepted me as his disciple, he gave me a wicked book on repelling insects, which taught me how to do it. However, using it once consumes a huge amount of energy and lifespan..."
The Minister of Justice couldn't help but ask, "Are all the captains of your Baihua Tower people with special talents?"
If we want to wipe them out like this, we need to prepare more countermeasures.
Mao Shurong replied, "They should all have something extraordinary, but I'm not sure what it is."
In this way, the strength of Baihua Tower is really strong.
The Eagle Master knows how to expel insects, but I don’t know what special talents the other captains have.
We must treat it with more caution.
Liao Jiu asked the key question, "Where is the flower pond you mentioned before?"
Mao Shurong answered without thinking, "In our Baihualou headquarters in Beijing..."
"Where is the headquarters?"
Since each helmsman is so powerful, there is no need to deal with them one by one.
If we can launch a surprise attack on the headquarters and find the flower bed, maybe the mother盅 is there. If we kill the mother盅, then these helmsmen, no matter how powerful they are, if they are controlled like Mao Shurong and have盅 poison in their bodies, the mother盅 and the child盅 are related by their aura, then we can kill those helmsmen without any effort.
This is Liao Jiu's expected plan.
As a result, when asked this question, Mao Shurong began to think again, "I don't know. Only the deputy building owner knows where the headquarters is. The deputy building owner is the one stationed at the headquarters. Every time our leader goes to the headquarters, he goes in and out with his eyes blindfolded, but it must be within the capital. We usually communicate through pigeons, which are always single-line communications. We communicate with the building owner or the deputy building owner, and never with the leader..."
"Can't you control insects? Are you good at tracking techniques? How could you not know the place?" Liao Jiu asked.
Mao Shurong replied, "I was curious at first, and I tried to seduce a bug once, but I didn't find it. Instead, the deputy host found it and gave me a lecture. Since then, I haven't dared to be curious again."
Because of the Lingzhong poison, Mao Shurong was controlled, which was equivalent to brainwashing him, telling him not to be curious about the headquarters address. Although it was unreasonable, they would probably obey unconditionally.
"Think carefully, then. Was there any sound? Or any smell? Or any different wind direction? Any special little details?"
By using special small details, you can also roughly identify the geographical location.
Although Beijing is a big city, if we have a general direction, we can narrow the scope and distance, making it easier to investigate.
"Every time we received a pigeon message, we were told to wait at various fixed locations. Then, they would take us to the headquarters. The route was different each time, sometimes passing through a busy city, sometimes passing through residential areas. The actual headquarters was very quiet... There were no special sounds, but if there had to be a sound, it was the sound of pigeons..."
There's no useful information to be gained by asking further.
Mao Shurong came back to life, but his health was not very good. After asking him questions for so long, he had a splitting headache and couldn't ask any more questions.
Liao Jiu and the others discussed it and decided to take Mao Shurong away temporarily.
Nanny Chunjian and Li Niang were one seriously ill and one seriously injured. They were not locked up in the Ministry of Justice prison, but were taken back by the people from the Six Gates to be treated for their injuries and kept well.
Dabao was also sent back.
Dabao didn't want to go back and wanted to follow Jiang Lianzhu. Jiang Lianzhu said to him softly, "You go back first. If you're away for a long time, I'm afraid Erbao and Nanbao will worry. Mother still has things to do."
"All right."
Dabao obediently went back with the people from Liushenmen.
After Liao Jiu and the others had made all the arrangements, they came to report to Xuan Huang.
"Your Majesty, we are now sending people to search the entire city for any houses that keep pigeons. If you find any suspicious houses, please report them immediately."
"As for Mao Shurong, we plan to announce his death to the public. This will paralyze the spies of Baihua Tower and reduce their defenses. Perhaps Mao Shurong can be of other use. He has just woken up and has some memory loss. If he recovers, he may be able to remember something."
…
Xuan Huang approved them all.
The Six Gates, the Three Courts, the Ministry of Justice, the Imperial Guards and other departments were all dispatched.
The capital city is too big, and the search is secret, so we can't do it in a high-profile manner. We don't know when we can find the person.
This takes a process.
There's no need to rush.
After the matter was settled, everyone went about their business. Emperor Xuan returned to the palace and specifically called Liao Jiu and Jiang Lianzhu with him.
"You two, come with me to the palace."
