Chapter 42 Wet Wipes

"Woooooooooo!" Lezhi kept turning his head hard, whimpering, trying to speak but couldn't.

Chen Xun took out a few pieces of rice paper, soaked them in the water, and covered Lezhi's face, whose head was fixed by Lu Hui.

As the wet paper covered it, Le Zhi struggled even more fiercely, but because his whole body was fixed to the stool and his head was firmly clamped by Lu Hui, there was no big noise.

Chen Xun then covered several more pieces of paper, including Le Zhi's eyes.

Le Zhi's struggle became more and more intense, and then gradually weakened. When the ups and downs of his chest became three and four breaths at a time, Chen Xun just removed the wet paper from his face at once.

"Suck!!" Lezhi took a deep breath, and then began to pant violently. It took a while before he regained his strength.

"Le County Lieutenant, do you understand your situation now?"

"You are a pariah, you are so bold. When I get out, you will definitely die a terrible death. I will make your Chenjiazhuang go to hell with you." Le Zhi cursed angrily.

Chen Xun was not angry after hearing his scolding. He took out a pile of paper again and put it into the basin to soak it. Just as he was about to put it on, he heard Le Zhi loudly begging for mercy.

"That's enough! That's enough! Just ask whatever you want to ask. I will answer truthfully. Don't do it again."

The pain of suffocation, coupled with Chen Xun's indifferent attitude towards torture, made Le Zhi extremely frightened and did not dare to continue to speak harshly.

"Lieutenant Le County better cooperate. I can't guarantee that I can remove the wet paper from your face in time next time." Chen Xun said.

The plain tone put great psychological pressure on Le Zhi. Le Zhi had never seen such an indifferent attitude towards life in his life.

"I will definitely cooperate, I will definitely cooperate, as long as it can save my life."

"Who is the biggest person in charge of Chenjiazhuang this time?" Chen Xun asked a simple question first.

"It's Wang Si. Wang Si drank Jiannanchun once at the reception banquet when he took office, and asked where it was produced. After learning that it was produced in Chenjiazhuang, he began to investigate and confirmed that there were no big officials protecting Chenjiazhuang, so he started to think about it. ." Lezhi answered in detail.

"Very well, which officials are involved in targeting Chenjiazhuang this time."

"This..." Lezhi rolled his eyes from side to side and did not answer in time.

Chen Xun picked up the wet paper again.

"Wait! Wait! I say! I say!" Le Zhi has never seen such a violent and cruel person.

"In the past, few people knew about it, just Wang Sihu, County Magistrate Wang, County Magistrate Qin, me, and some close associates who carried out the implementation."

"What do you mean?" Chen Xun thought to himself, there is something going on here.

"It's different now. There are many people who know about it. Many officials including magistrates, general magistrates, governors, inspections, signers, and military officers are all aware of it," Le Zhi replied.

The Song Dynasty was different from the Qing Dynasty. The officials were paid by the government and they were all officials. Unlike the Qing Dynasty, the officials were hired by the chief officials themselves.

"How could this happen?" This news shocked Chen Xun. He did not expect that Wang Si and others would share the most "fat".

"This is all Wang's idea." Lezhi quickly explained.

Chen Xun, whose train of thought was disrupted, lost interest in continuing the interrogation. He handed him over to Lu Hui to continue questioning, while he sat beside him and thought about it.

"What preparations has Wang Si made now?" Lu Hui asked.

"It's still in the contact stage, but according to Zhizhou's wishes, Chenjiazhuang will be eradicated." Lezhi has already broken the pot. Now he only asks the two of them to take his identity into consideration after interrogating him and not to kill anyone and silence him.

"Aren't you worried about the pirates on Lantau Island?" Lu Hui was a little confused. The pirates hadn't been removed yet, so why were these people not in a hurry? "What are you worried about, the pirates raised by the Chen family?" Le Zhi replied.

what!
Chen Xun, who was just thinking about it next to him, was directly attracted by this sentence. He quickly came over and asked: "The pirates raised by our Chenjiazhuang? Who told you?"

"No one told me, this is all Wang Si's guess." Le Zhi replied: "However, the pirates have not moved in the past few days, which also confirms Wang Si's guess. Your Chenjiazhuang doesn't want to make things big, so you just plan to fight small. Make noise to attract attention.”

Is this the IQ of those one-in-a-million talents?Chen Xun sighed inwardly.

It turns out that my method makes people guess a lot just by looking at the surface.

This IQ is too overwhelming for me. How can I fight these people in the future?
"Tell me in detail how Wang seemed to guess it."

Le Zhi recounted Wang Si's conversation with him that day, and Chen Xun discovered that he had too many loopholes in these matters.

As the saying goes, there is no such thing as coincidence, but there must be a deeper reason for continuous coincidences.

I am still careless.

In the final analysis, I still underestimated the ancients. Even though I had been awakened many times in my heart, I must not underestimate the smart people of this era, but in practice, I still underestimated them.

Maybe I understand that I have the advantage of transmitting information. In the eyes of ordinary outsiders, it is impossible for me to complete these operations in a short time, and I can rule out the possibility that I am behind the scenes.

But in the eyes of those smart people, failure to transmit information is not a problem, because they can plan in advance!

Perhaps those smart people will plan in advance when dealing with things on a daily basis, and take the corresponding actions into themselves, and they will also think that these coincidences are all planned in advance by themselves.

What about reality?I am all adaptable.

They overestimate their IQ.

This should be the reason why Wang Si chose to contact other officials and did not act rashly.

"How many troops do you plan to dispatch?" Chen Xun asked.

"I really don't know about this. When those senior officials discussed specific strategies, they didn't let me participate. I was only called in to ask questions when they needed to verify some details." Le Zhi replied.

"Be honest." Chen Xun believed that Le Zhi was also a smart person and couldn't possibly know nothing.

"I just guessed something from their conversation. You will use land and water to suppress this time. It is estimated that Guangzhou's troops will be sent out." Lezhi replied honestly: "As for whether we will contact other states, I I really don't know."

The trouble is big.

The Guangzhou Forbidden Army alone has one battalion (one battalion has five capitals, and one capital has 100 people.), and the Xiang Army has two battalions. The other Turkish troops, archers, hand soldiers, Jie Zi, etc., add up to about the same number of people as the Xiang Army.

This is only for the Guangzhou government. There are eight counties under the jurisdiction of Guangzhou. Not counting Dongguan County, which has suffered heavy losses, each of the other seven counties can still gather almost a battalion of miscellaneous soldiers.

The miscellaneous forces added up to six thousand troops.

And this is just the Army.

The Guangzhou Bay Inspection Department has more than 20 large and small warships, and the total number of sailors exceeds 1000.

There is no need to mobilize all the troops, only half of them are required, and it will already be larger than the current population of Chenjiazhuang.

how to spell?
"How much time do I have?" Chen Xun asked.
