Chapter 3181
Zhu Zhongyun felt that he had never been so useless in his life.
He was blindfolded with black cloth, and his hands and feet were bound by strong cowhide leather straps and fixed to the iron chair beneath him. And this cold iron chair seemed to be fixed to the ground, and it remained motionless no matter how hard he shook it.
In addition, his mouth was stuffed with a ball of cloth, and he couldn't spit it out. He could only whine. In the past, when he caught extremely vicious gangsters, he would use this method to prevent them from biting their tongues and committing suicide, but he never thought that one day he would fall victim to this method.
Zhu Zhongyun didn't even know where he was at this time. After he was captured by mistake, he was blindfolded and carried to a carriage and transported here.
He could only rely on his body's perception of the outside world to judge that he was still in Hangzhou. The space is stuffy and damp and should be underground.
The only thing Zhu Zhongyun can be sure of is that the other party does not intend to execute him immediately. For some reason, they need to keep themselves alive.
He was indeed determined to die when he was surrounded, but the Haihan soldiers who were on a mission to capture him did not give him a chance to fight. As soon as they encountered him, they cast out several specially made fishing nets to secure him and his men. They were covered, and then they were knocked down with random sticks and tied up one by one.
There are various signs that the other party's roundup operation was well-prepared and they deliberately waited until that time to arrest people.
The firearm failure that Zhu Zhongyun encountered during his attack was probably not an accident, and several other teams would probably encounter the same situation. The plan to assassinate the Haihan Executive Committee has very slim chance of success.
Zhu Zhongyun did not dare to expect too much. He only hoped that the other teams lurking in the city as candidates would notice something was wrong as soon as possible and rush out of Hangzhou to bring back the news of the failure, so that the court could be prepared for the possible consequences. .
Zhu Zhongyun didn't wait too long before he heard footsteps approaching from far away, and there were more than one person.
Then the black cloth that blindfolded his eyes was removed. He squinted his eyes to adapt to the environment, and saw four Haihan people standing in front of him. One of them was an old man with white beard and hair, and the other two looked quite old. , only the one standing at the very edge was a young man in his twenties.
Zhu Zhongyun noticed that except for the young man, the other three people all had short hair, and their clothes were different from ordinary people. They were short shirts with vertical collars and double-breasteds. The gray material was quite straight, and there were several stitches on the chest and waist. Conspicuous pockets, this is the attire of a high-ranking Haihan official.
The young man's clothes were the same as Akito's, but when he appeared in this place, he seemed a little out of place compared with the people around him.
There were also several strong men standing around, apparently subordinates of these four people.
One of them said: "Zhu Zhongyun, this is the dungeon of the Hangzhou Prison. It used to be under the jurisdiction of the Hangzhou Government. Now it is a cell shared by the city defense army and the police station. It is specially used to temporarily detain serious criminals."
"Once you enter this place, don't think about escaping. We don't intend to kill you, and don't actively seek death. If I ask you anything, just answer it honestly, and don't make yourself unhappy."
After the man finished speaking, he made a gesture, and someone next to him stepped forward and took out the ball of cloth stuffed in Zhu Zhongyun's mouth.
Someone else brought two chairs over, and the two Haihan officials sat down five feet away opposite Zhu Zhongyun.
Zhu Zhongyun probably knew that he was unlucky when he fell into this situation, but his mood was very calm. He took the initiative and said, "I haven't asked you about your identity yet?"
The person who spoke before responded: "I am Ji Yuanqing, the head of the Military Intelligence Bureau of the Donghai Region, and the person next to me is Mr. Gong Shiqi from the Haihan Security Department. These two are Li Qingyang and Li Li from the Special Liaison Office of the Donghai Region. Your Excellency, Lord Zhu Zi’an Zhu”
Zhu Zhongyun smiled sadly and said: "I have admired you for a long time! I lost at the hands of a few people, but Zhu did not lose unjustly." Among these four people, except for the young Zhu Zian, the names of the other three, Zhu Zhongyun, who is a Jin Yiwei, are naturally I've heard of it.
Gong Shiqi has been the top thug of the Haihan Security Department for more than 10 years, and the guards of the Daming Factory have killed over a hundred people in his hands. To Ming's colleagues, he was like a evil star.
Ji Yuanqing has been in charge of the Military Intelligence Bureau of the Donghai Region for many years. He is one of the main opponents of the Ming Dynasty Factory Guards in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Since Zhu Zhongyun has come to Hangzhou, of course he also knows who he is going to fight against.
As for Li Qingyang, he is a dangerous person who has been written into Jin Yiwei's files.
Thirty years ago, Li Qingyang sneaked into Sanya, which was not yet famous at that time, as a member of the Jin Yiwei Baihu. However, he was later captured and defected to Haihan. He became a general on the Haihan counter-espionage front, specializing in dealing with the Ming Dynasty sent to lurk in Haihan. spies from all walks of life.
Although Li Qingyang has now retired from the Security Department and has been transferred to the Special Liaison Office, Zhu Zhongyun does not dare to underestimate this unspectacular old man.
As for the young official named Zhu, Zhu Zhongyun vaguely felt that he had heard this name somewhere, but he couldn't remember the origin for a while.
Of course, if he really remembered Zhu Zian's identity, he would probably be surprised again. Because Zhu Zian, like Li Qingyang, also left the Ming Dynasty and came to Haihan to develop, but he was born in Prince De of Shandong. He was a genuine descendant of the clan and of royal blood, and his status was much higher than that of Li Qingyang.
Zhu Zhongyun still knew a thing or two about what kind of yamen the Special Liaison Office was. This yamen is not an intelligence department, but is responsible for negotiating with the Ming Dynasty on various special matters that are inconvenient for the diplomatic department to handle or have insufficient authority, such as civil disputes, transnational cases, trade conflicts, etc.
Haihan asked the Special Liaison Office to participate in the trial, which is an interesting arrangement. Zhu Zhongyun was not sure for a while whether this was related to the functions of the Special Liaison Office, or whether it was to ask the experienced Li Qingyang to come forward.
Then it was time for questions, and Gong Qiqi was the first to ask.
The first is who planned and directed the assassination; the second is whether Zhu Zhongyun has other accomplices hiding in Hangzhou; and the third is the origin of the rifles used by Zhu Zhongyun and others.
Zhu Zhongyun knew that he could not escape, so he naturally took over everything, saying that he planned and implemented the matter alone, not appointed by the court, and had no other accomplices.
As for the origin of the rifle, Zhu Zhongyun said that he had not met the seller in person, and the money and goods transactions were completed over the air, so he had no more information to confess.
There was a trap in Gong Qi Qi's question. Zhu Zhongyun would be exposed immediately if he didn't tell the truth. Of course, such a perfunctory answer would not pass the test.
Gong Shiqi shook his head and said: "We have all captured the groups of people you brought to Hangzhou. Your men confessed much faster than you!"
"Look, I've given you the chance to tell the truth, but you obviously don't cherish it, so you can't blame me."
Gong Shiqi beckoned: "Bring up the torture instruments! You are so tough-talking, so you must be prepared to suffer. Then give it a try and see how hard your bones can be!"
