Chapter 75 Fishing in troubled waters

Chapter 75: Fishing in the water

"Is this person?" Yuan Hao frowned at the vulgar man tied up and cried so hard that his nose and tears flowed down. Such a person did not look like a vicious person with the courage to kill.

"That's right." The boss of Changle Tower replied respectfully, pointing to the stack of rice paper on the table next to him and said, "Sir, please see, these are the test questions I found on the spot, there are five copies in total."

Yuan Hao picked up a test question from the table and looked around casually. It was exactly the same as the test questions he gave to the emperor. It was undoubtedly true that this person was selling the test questions. However, it would be very suspicious whether he could ask the behind-the-scenes instructions from him. It would be so suspicious. It would be so easy for the other party to do such a thing.

"What's your name? Where do you live?" Yuan Hao asked.

"What are you going to do?" The man stopped crying, his face was filled with horror, and he threatened: "This is under the feet of the emperor, don't do anything randomly." He was only very guilty.

"Ba, bha." Several slaps sounded, and a secret guard hit the despicable man several times on the face and asked, "You still know that this is under the feet of the emperor. He said, where did you get these test questions from and who is your backstage?"

The face of the vulgar man suddenly swollen, but he lost the horror he had just now. He begged for mercy and said, "Don't beat, don't beat, it turns out that you are asking this. You should take it away. The villain will not take any of it. As long as you don't kill me, you will make the meat into buns."

The words of the vulgar man made everyone look at each other, and the fat meat on the boss of Changle Building trembled: "What nonsense? Do you think this building is a black store?"

"Aren't you not a black shop?" the despicable man asked cautiously.

The boss of Changle Building was so angry that he shivered. Since Kaihuang, the Sui Dynasty has been established for 30 years. In the past 30 years, in addition to the eight-year unified southern war in Kaihuang, the country has basically stabilized, economic development has been vigorous, the people have grown in full swing, and culture has also flourished. Among them, storytelling is the fastest-growing one. Almost every slightly larger teahouse and restaurant have a storytelling artist to attract customers. Most people regard the fictional storytelling artists as real. Among them, the story of the black shop on the roadside making people into human meat buns has been widely circulated. Obviously, this vulgar man regarded Changle Building as a black shop. If it was spread, even if others were half-believing and half-doubting, they would probably never dare to come to the door again.

"Beat, beat me hard." Changle Lou Lao Lou was so angry that he didn't bother to interrogate. He had to beat the person who ruined his reputation as a restaurant first.

"Yes." A secret guard responded, took out a whip from the wall, and looked at the vulgar man with fierce eyes. The whip was about to be whipped down at any time.

"Slowly, tell him our identity, it's not too late to interrogate again." Yuan Hao quickly stopped the secret guard from the torture.

"This..." The secret guard couldn't help but look at his boss. Although Yuan Hao's official position was large, he was not as good as the boss of Changle Tower. Once the secret of the secret guard industry of Changle Tower was exposed, according to previous rules, this industry would be transferred, and they were equivalent to leaving the capital and starting over.

The boss of Changle Building was shaking: "Look at what I do, I still don't obey the instructions of the adults." As the boss, his vision is much broader than his subordinates. Of course, he doesn't care about a restaurant. Once he gets the commander of the adults, he will be counted in just a few days.

"Boy, listen well. We are not a black shop, but a secret guard. Have you heard of it?"

"Dark...Dark Guard." With a gulp, the wretched man's eyes rolled and he fainted.

Yuan Hao looked at the vulgar man helplessly. When did the three words "Dark Clothes Guard" be more fierce than the black shop that wanted to be a human bun. He was very disappointed and no longer had any hope for how many secrets the man knew.

"Wake him up."

"yes."

"Crash." A large basin of cold water poured on the vulgar man from head to toe. The vulgar man shivered and woke up immediately. Seeing a group of people surrounding him, his eyes rolled, and he was about to faint again. A secret guard quickly pinched his people, and the man barely kept his dizzy. However, his whole body was shaking violently, and I don't know if it was cold or scared.

Before the secret guard asked, the wretched man shook out all the things he knew. The man's surname was Guo, and his original name was Guo Daniu. Later, he changed his name to Guo Jie. He still heard that in the storytelling, there was a famous man named Guo Jie in the Han Dynasty. He was born and raised in the capital. He was lazy and a genuine second-rate man. Compared with the Guo Jie in the Han Dynasty, he was a thousand miles away. He lived by relying on thieves and models, and often had a meal and a meal.

At this time, the Great Sui Dynasty was just as the sun was rising, the politics was clear and the security in the capital was even better. People like Guo Jie were destined to have little prospects. Anyone who dared to violate the laws of the king was mostly sent to the south to reclaim wasteland. Guo Jie was usually smart and did his hands and feet, so he lost his fate of exile. He was only warned by the yamen runners many times.

When Guo Jie thought he could survive like this for a lifetime, last night, someone suddenly gave him these test questions and told him that as long as he sold the test questions to a scholar who looked wealthy, he could sell ten gold coins in one test question. Although Guo Jie was half-believing and half-doubted, he was just a person like him who dreamed that he could make money from heaven. When the sky was dawn, he still excitedly found Zhuque Street. When he saw Changle Tower, he went in to find a seller. Unexpectedly, he was caught before he could sell one test question.

Guo Jie was indeed smart. When he heard the secret guard, he immediately understood the reason for his arrest and did not dare to hide it at all. Finally, he begged: "Sir, let me go, the villain did nothing, I told you everything. I still have an 80-year-old mother in my family to support me. If I am arrested, it won't be a big deal for the villain to die, but I will never support me again."

Guo Jie's words made the two secret guards who were interrogating him get goose bumps all over their bodies, and one of them said contemptuously: "Just like you, even if you have me, I will support you."

"Sir, I found out that Guo Jie's identity is true. He has basically not had any contact with anyone these days. Ninety percent of his words are true." After a while, the secret guard who went to check came back in frustration to report.

Yuan Hao had known this would have been so disappointed. He pointed at Guo Jie and asked coldly: "He really has an 80-year-old mother?"

"Sir, he does have a mother, but he is only in his forties. Seeing that Guo Jie was too unscrupulous, he became a monk a few years ago."

"Well, detain him first, and then gather the number of people and exil to overseas islands."

"No, sir, don't exile villains overseas. Little life is a great Sui people, and death is a great Sui ghost." Guo Jie crawled in the direction of Yuan Hao in horror, begging for the truth.

During this period, many places in the south were not developed and were regarded as wilderness, not to mention overseas. However, the emperor liked to travel thousands of miles at any time and sent prisoners overseas. Due to inconvenience of transportation, prisoners exiled overseas had no chance to come back for at least ten years, and they didn't even know life or death. In addition, some storytellers described it as extremely dangerous to overseas, birds and beasts opened their mouths and wanted to eat people. There were even various demons and monsters rampant, exiled overseas, and even some people regarded it as sadder than beheading.

Yuan Hao waved his hand and said, "Take it down."

Judging from Guo Jie's crime, it is too much to behead him. It is useless to stay in the capital. He is dispelled from afar. He heard that many places overseas have been full of sunshine and abundant resources for many years. When people lie on the ground, fruits fall into their mouths. Maybe it is suitable for people like Guo Jie. No matter how powerful Guo Jie is, Yuan Hao naturally has no sympathy for such people.

After Guo Jie took the custody, the whole Changle Tower was a little depressed, but in the end he worked in vain. Fortunately, the secret of Changle Tower as a secret ward industry was not leaked, otherwise it would be a big loss.

"Sir, sir, good news, Taibailou secret wardrobe guards came to report, and they also caught a person selling test questions." An unaware of the secret wardrobe guard rushed in.

Although he knew that there was little hope, Yuan Hao cheered up and said, "Send an order to ask the people from Taibailou to temporarily imprison the person secretly and wait for the interrogation of this official. The official's goal is too great, so he still won't go in order to prevent exposure."

"Yes, I'm leaving."

Just when Yuan Hao thought the other party was about to stop, more and more secret guards came to report to catch the people who sold the test questions. At night, more than 20 people who sold the test questions were arrested in the capital. However, the situation was similar to Guo Jie. They were just told suddenly that they could use this test questions to sell for money. Many people didn't know that they were powerful, and they thought they could run away anyway. They tried to sell them in the place where the scholars gathered, and some people really sold them. However, they were soon arrested by the secret guards. Even if they had money, they could not spend it. What awaited them was the same fate as Guo Jie.
