Chapter 190 Backer

After hearing this news, Yang Qiuchi was overjoyed. According to what these corpses said, this person came to the inn to find them at noon. When these corpses set fire, the middle-aged man was probably among the hungry people outside the yamen to observe the situation and determine whether the granary was burned. When these corpses were arrested, they had already closed the city gates, so this person must still be in Wuchang City!

This man must have seen that he did not burn up. He must have guessed that the escort had been arrested and he might have confessed himself. Therefore, this man is likely to escape. However, the other gates of Wuchang City are now closed, and only the north gate is open for hungry people to get food and leave the city. Since this passage is guarded by officers and soldiers and has been specially controlled, others cannot leave here. Therefore, if this man wants to leave, there is only one possibility, that is, to leave as hungry people.

Yang Qiuchi regretted that he did not interrogate the fire people in time at that time, but he was not blamed. After all, the hungry people were about to riots at that time, and he was in a hurry to deal with the matter of releasing food, so how could he have time to interrogate them?

When he was releasing food, he put the hungry people in one by one from the front to the back. This person could see whether the granary was burned from a distance. There was no need to squeeze in front. When he found that the fire was not burning and wanted to pretend to be hungry people and get out of the city, because there were too many hungry people, he might not be able to squeeze in front for a while, so this person is likely to be among the hungry people now.

This person is likely to be the mastermind of the entire incident, and it is likely to be an important figure in the Jianwen Religion Party. You must catch him!

Yang Qiuchi immediately asked Nangong Xiong to lead the Jinyiwei to examine the hungry people who came in to receive the grain one by one. All those who looked squinting were arrested, and Luo Qianhu led the Jinyiwei to the temporary camp outside the northern city immediately to search for the hungry people who had already received the grain out of the city.

At the same time, the commander of the Ministry of the Ministry immediately sent more officers and soldiers to strengthen the control of hungry people, strictly prevent outsiders from entering the passage, and pay attention to those with squint eyes. Once discovered, they will be arrested immediately. In addition, other city gate guards should not be allowed to leave anyone out of the city.

Then, he called a specialist from the yamen. According to the descriptions of these corpses, he drew the appearance of the middle-aged man with a squinting eyes. However, this work took a lot of effort and could not be drawn for a while.

After everything was arranged, Yang Qiuchi interrogated Mi Shiwai.

Mr. Mi was a short and fat old man who knelt down and kowtowed to Yang Qiuchi.

Yang Qiuchi asked: "Do you know why we were going to catch you?"

"The villain doesn't know." Mi Yuanwai looked innocent.

"How come your granary has official grain?"

"No, I, Mixing, have always been doing business. I am always a fair and credible person. I must not believe others' slander." Mi Guanwai's face did not change his color and his heart was not beating.

"Last year, there was a locust plague within a hundred miles of radius, and the grain particles were not harvested. Where did so much new rice in your granary come from?" Yang Qiuchi's words were as cold as a knife.

"New rice? New rice was transported from the capital for a long distance. It was because of the locust plague in Huguang that I was anxious. There was not much food in my granary. So I spent a lot of money to buy the newly harvested rice from the capital for the autumn harvest last year and sold it to the hungry people at a low price."

"Low price? One tael of silver and one bowl of rice is also low?" Yang Qiuchi sneered.

Mi Yuanwai was very surprised: "No! My rice shop sells rice for five cents of copper coins per bowl. How can I sell one or two taels of silver? How can I do something that is harmful to the world?"

"I saw it with my own eyes. Is there any fake?" Yang Qiuchi already knew in his heart that this short fat man wanted to shirk responsibility. Sure enough, Mi Yuanwai was stunned: "Is there such a thing? It must be those damn slaves who are carrying me on their backs to raise prices. Fish and meat, I must break their legs when I go back!"

"Go back? Do you think you can go back?"

Mi Yuanwai said with a sad face: "Sir, I really don't know about this. It was done by those slaves on my back. Just now, the officers and soldiers said they wanted to collect my grain for disaster relief. I agreed without saying a word. They also sent servants to help open the warehouse and release the grain. Sir, I am really an honest businessman."

This guy is really thick-skinned. Yang Qiuchi said coldly: "We have found out that you bribed 80,000 taels of silver you bribed to the governor of Trustee Tan. We have found out that the three of you [banned words] have also confessed that you embezzled disaster relief food. A large amount of official silver was found in your house. Did you transport it from a long distance? You will know that you have all the people and stolen money. What else do you have to deny?"

Hearing this, Mi Yuanwai's expression changed slightly. Yang Qiuchi took advantage of the victory to pursue: "The person who incited the robbery of grain among the hungry people just now was your slave, and we have been captured. They have confessed that you sent them to spread news everywhere that only Wuchang Mansion will release grain, and no other places will release grain, and recruit all the hungry people in the radius of hundreds of miles to Wuchang Mansion. Then you spread news that Wuchang Mansion will release grain tonight, and then all the hungry people gathered at the yamen. Your people encouraged to grab grain again, trying to create riots. Say! What are your intentions?" r

Mr. Mi applauded and smiled, "Sir, I admire you! I admire you! Since you have checked it, I admit that I did it." After a pause, he said meaningfully, "But, although I admit it, you still have no choice but to do it to me, because this matter involves the palace. It is better for you to leave it alone. Let's just pretend that nothing has happened, otherwise, the sir, I'm afraid that I won't be able to get anything to do if you make a fuss."

Mr. Mi said these words naturally, as if coaxing the child not to play with fire, which made Yang Qiuchi so angry that he almost vomited blood, and shouted: "I don't care who you are involved. Inciting the hungry people to rebel is the death penalty for the Zhu Jiu clan! Hurry up and ask the mastermind behind you, otherwise, you will be punished!"

Mr. Mi smiled as if a tiger was watching a hungry wolf roaring at him overestimating his abilities.

Yang Qiuchi was furious and shouted, "Pull him down for me and beat him again..."

At this moment, Master Jin's heavy cough came from Yang Qiuchi's ears. Yang Qiuchi was stunned, forced to suppress the fire, and turned his head to look at Master Jin.

Master Jin walked to Yang Qiuchi, leaned into his ear and whispered: "Learn his backstage first, sir, don't be reckless."

Master Jin tweeted a little, and Yang Qiuchi suddenly became much more awake. The political struggle was ever-changing. Especially when it comes to people in the palace, it is not a joke. It is good to do your best to investigate the case yourself, but don’t throw yourself in, it’s not worth it.

Yang Qiuchi picked up the tea bowl and drank Longjing fragrant tea, calmed down, changed his smile, and then continued to ask, "Mr. Mi. Who are you involved in the palace? Let me tell you what to do?"

Mr. Mi smiled slightly, "It's better for adults to know some things. I'm sincerely thinking about them. If I know, it's not easy to deal with. Why not turn a blind eye now and everyone is fine."

After a pause, Mi Official Wai said meaningfully to Yang Qiuchi and Luo Qianhu next to him: "If the two adults can be proud of this matter, they will be used for food disaster relief. I will no longer pursue it. Moreover, I am not a person who does not know how to deal with things. After that, Mi will naturally have some intentions to give to the two adults."

When Yang Qiuchi heard this, the old boy actually openly bribed the court officials in the court. He was either crazy or really a very tough backstage. He felt a little shocked in his heart. He had to be more careful.

Yang Qiuchi looked at Luo Qianhu, and saw that his face looked a little embarrassed, and he lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking.

Yang Qiuchi knew that rebellion cases are not like ordinary cases. They are all political struggles, and they require rationality rather than emotion. They must first figure out his backstage before they can decide what to do next. They said: "Mr. Mi. You also know that this case is different from others, and I am afraid that ordinary people can handle it. If you don't tell me what to believe in you?"

Mr. Mi said, "Since that's the case, I'll just say it. Master Quan, the Right Administration of Huguang, has a deep friendship with me, and what I said is still very useful to him."

When he heard this, Yang Qiuchi's heart fell to the ground and said with a smile: "I guess this, but you should know that the General Manager Quan has been put into prison by me." Then he thought that it was not that simple. The General Manager Quan was not considered a person in the palace. The person in the palace should refer to the royal relatives, and his heart immediately hung up again.

Mi Yuanwai was a little surprised and knelt there. He looked up and down carefully. He couldn't figure out who this young man was. The governor of Quan was a second-rank high-ranking official. This young man could actually put him in prison. Who was this person? Mi Yuanwai didn't dare to underestimate him and decided to win the last trump card.

Mi Yuanwai coughed and said proudly: "Sir, let me tell you the truth. Xu Jingchang, the son of Xu Zengshou, Duke Dingguo, is my daughter.

What is the concubine of the son of Duke Ding? Yang Qiuchi was confused when he heard this. He looked at Luo Qianhu and saw that he was as expressionless as a clay Buddha. He could not see any reaction. This made Yang Qiuchi even more shocked. Even Qianhu, the Jinyiwei, was indifferent. If the person Mi Yuanwai said he did not know or was not a big man, Luo Qianhu would not have such expression. There was only one possibility, that is, this person was too big, and the old fox Luo Qianhu knew that he could not afford to offend him.

This Duke Ding seems to be a very tough backstage. Who is this Duke Ding Xu Zengshou? Even the Qianhu of the Jinyiwei has become the clay Buddha.

Yang Qiuchi turned his head and looked at Master Jin who was recording beside him. He saw him shook his head gently and thrust into the back hall.

Yang Qiuchi knew it and smiled at Luo Qianhu: "Mr. Luo, sorry, I have a little stomachache, so I'll come when I go."

Luo Qianhu owed his body: "Sir, please give me a gift."

Yang Qiu turned around and entered the back hall. Master Jin followed him in. Song Yuner was hiding behind and eavesdropping, and followed them to the patio outside the house.

Yang Qiuchi stopped and looked at Master Jin: "Who is this Duke Dingguo Xu Zengshou? It's really that amazing?"
