Great Song catcher

Chapter 304
This operation ended with the complete failure of Gong Changyu's side.

Among those who came to assassinate, only Gong Changyu escaped, and the rest were either killed or captured.

On the other hand, on Nie Feng's side, there were almost no casualties. They just wasted some crossbow arrows and thunderbolt bullets. The only one injured was a soldier who was impatient, his hand was strangled by the bowstring of the crossbow, and he was laughed at by his colleagues for a long time. In addition, there were no casualties, which can be described as a complete victory.

When Monk Xiangming saw the palace chief retreating, he also flew away with the wind, and he didn't greet Nie Feng and others. Nie Feng couldn't keep him, so he could only put his hands together and saluted him in the direction of his departure.

"Master Hou, do you know which monastery Master Xiang Ming is from?"

Nie Feng looked at Wang Longchuan.

"I just heard from Gong Changyu that he is a disciple of the White Horse Temple. The White Horse Temple has only one branch in Huaizhou City. He should settle there. When things happen here, we will prepare a generous gift and come to thank him personally. Master Ming takes action, we all have to die here tonight."

As he spoke, Wang Longchuan put the saber back into its scabbard, looked at Qin Wu and Duan Sisi who had been arrested, and said, "This time there are witnesses, I'm not afraid that Ding Zhi said that old boy would deny it!"

"It's not that simple."

Nie Feng was not optimistic about Wang Longchuan's thoughts. He looked at Qin Wu and Duan Sisi, and said, "These two people are not afraid of death, and they are both hard-headed. It will be extremely difficult to get them to testify against Ding Wei. To put it another way, even if they are really willing to testify, Ding Wei can still place all the crimes on them."

What Nie Feng said is correct. If you want to bring down Ding Wei and prove his crimes, you must find other strong evidence. Otherwise, you will want to throw power over the court with only the evidence of the sons of the two chief executives. It is simply impossible for the prime minister to be dismounted.

Qian Feng also received the news at this time, and returned to the government office with Liu Zheng and Shen Han.

However, when Qian Feng saw the messy and dilapidated mansion, he was stunned there, and after a long while he smiled wryly and said: "Although I know that the battle tonight will be fierce, I didn't expect you to play so big!" , almost destroyed the entire government office, how can I explain this to the imperial court?"

Wang Longchuan said with a smile: "You have caught the real culprit who looted the relief money, are you still afraid of the destruction of the government office? When the time comes, you will find the robbed relief money, and then submit a memorial to the Ministry of Officials." Hehubu, they hope to give you some more money to rebuild the government office."

Hearing what Wang Longchuan said, Nie Feng suddenly came back to his senses. He was only thinking of catching people, but he forgot about the whereabouts of the 300 million taels of disaster relief money, so Nie Feng walked up to Qin Wu and Duan Sisi , Shen Sheng said: "Where is the relief money that was looted by you now?"

But Qin Wu and Duan Sinuo just snorted coldly, then turned their heads away, closed their eyes tightly and remained silent.

"Tell me! Where are the silver taels hidden by you?"

Wang Longchuan also came over.

But the two remained silent, their faces pale as paper, beads of sweat dripping down their cheeks, and the pain of their arms being broken tortured them all the time. Those Chilongwei didn't simply break their bones, Instead, a strange technique was secretly used, which not only greatly increased the sensitivity of the wound, but also reversed the meridians, causing the pain like thousands of insects and ants crawling.

"Do not say?"

Nie Feng sneered and said, "When the time comes, I will pull you into the dark prison with six doors. I'm not afraid that you won't tell the truth."

Upon hearing this, Qin Wu and Duan Si Nian could not help but tremble.

The black prison with six doors is famous all over the world, but those who are imprisoned in it rarely come out alive, and they will die of old age in the dark prison for the rest of their lives. The torture is worse than killing them directly. Unacceptable.

However, the two still did not speak.

The two of them knew very well that with their father's status in the prime minister's mansion, if they kept their mouths shut, there might be a chance of survival. Ding Wei and their father would definitely send someone to rescue them along the way, or find a way to replace them after entering the capital. , but if they say it, it is equivalent to betraying Ding Wei, then Ding Wei will definitely abandon them as abandoned sons without hesitation.

If you want to survive, you can only keep your mouth shut.

At this moment, two people suddenly walked in from outside.

"It seems that we are still a step late."

Hearing this voice, Nie Feng was startled at first, then his face showed surprise, and he turned to look at the person who came.

"Brother Bai!"

The person who came was Bai Wushou, a young master of Ouchi Imperial Guard Palace.

After seeing Nie Feng, Bai Wuchou couldn't express the joy on his face.

Although the two hadn't been in contact for a long time, the dead city and his party made the two of them inseparable because of their confidantes.

At that time, the news that Nie Feng was intercepted and killed by the Qingcheng faction spread to the capital, Bai Wuchou immediately mobilized all his forces when he knew about it, and launched a crazy revenge on the Qingcheng faction, and even abolished an elder in the street, until Nie Feng was fine. Only when the news got out did he settle down, and stop deliberately targeting the Qingcheng faction.

"Who is this?"

Qian Feng looked at the familiarity of the two, and hurried over to ask.

"This is my close friend, surnamed Bai and named Wuchou." Nie Feng hurriedly introduced to everyone.

"Bai Wuchou? Young Master Miao Feng Lengyu, Bai Wuchou?"

Hearing this name, Qian Feng pondered for a while, and immediately thought of someone.

"Your Majesty Qian is too polite, I can't afford to be a Mr. Miao."

Bai Wuchou cupped his hands to Qian Feng and Wang Longchuan and said, "I've seen Master Qian and Marquis Zhenbian!"

"Don't be polite, I haven't seen you kid be so polite to me in private."

Wang Longchuan obviously knew Bai Wuchou a long time ago, and he was not restrained in speaking.

"This is Miss Xiao, right?"

Bai Wuchou looked at Xiao Wuming, then looked at Nie Feng and said with a smile: "The boy is really lucky to have such a confidante by his side."

"Master White."

Xiao Wuming smiled heartily, and did not refute Bai Wuchou's words. She was born in the desert, and her temperament and nature were very different from the daughters of the Central Plains. She dared to love and hate, and never hid her feelings.

Nie Feng, on the other hand, blushed handsomely and gave Bai Wuchou a hard look, but did not refute his words.

"this……"

Nie Feng looked at the middle-aged man who came with Bai Wuchou again.

Bai Wuchou hurriedly said: "This is my uncle Duan Zhengyang, who is also the prince of the Duan Clan in Dali. Prince Di received a letter from Lord Hou. It happened that my uncle came to visit my master, so I entrusted him to take a hard trip. Come to Huaizhou to help."

Hearing that this person turned out to be the prince of the Duan Clan in Dali, Nie Feng and the others did not dare to neglect him, so they hurried over to salute.

Duan Zhengyang said with a very easy-going smile: "Duan is an ordinary person when he comes to the Central Plains this time. There is no prince. Don't be so restrained."

"My lord, it just so happened that we caught a person. The martial arts practiced by this person may be Yiyang Zhi. I wonder if the lord knows him?"

Nie Feng brought Duan Zhengyang to Duan Sisi's side.

In fact, after Duan Sisi saw Duan Zhengyang walking in, he started to panic, and now seeing Duan Zhengyang coming in front of him, he became even more flustered, and subconsciously tilted his head not to look at him.

"Duan Sisi!"

But when Duan Zhengyang saw Duan Sisi for the first time.

He recognized him immediately.

The aura on Duan Zhengyang's body quickly became as cold as ice, and he looked at Duan Sisi and asked coldly, "Did you participate in these things?"

"Have……"

Duan Sixu nodded simply.

"Good, good, good!"

Duan Zhengyang said three good words in succession, but the anger contained in his tone could be heard by anyone.

"At the beginning when your father was expelled from the Duan family, he should have taken back the martial arts he had learned, but he was once a descendant of the Duan family, and he had the same blood in his body, so I pleaded with the emperor's brother, but only removed his name from the royal family. Erase, since then it has nothing to do with my Duan family, and the martial arts on my body have not been withdrawn, but I said before that if Duan Lie dares to use the martial arts he learned to do evil in the world in the future, then I will take action personally. Take all the belongings of my Duan family back from your father and son, do you still remember?"

"Remember... remember..."

"Okay, since you still remember, don't blame my subordinates for being ruthless!"

Duan Zhengyang slowly stretched out his right hand, pressed it on the top of Duan Sisi's head, and said: "Today I will take back what my Duan family has passed on to you, and I will personally go to get back what is on your father's body!"

The voice just fell.

The zhenqi in Duan Zhengyang's body suddenly gushed out along the palm of his hand, instantly shattering the meridians in Duan Sisi's body. These meridians are the routes that the Yiyang finger needs to run. martial arts.

After the martial arts were exhausted, Duan Sisi's aura also instantly weakened a lot. Duan Zhengyang tapped him several times with his right hand, and said, "You have committed heinous crimes, it is not so easy to want to die now!"

Then, he turned around to Nie Feng and the others and said, "My Duan family has suffered such evils, and it's all because of my mistake. Afterwards, the king should personally apologize to Emperor Song, and the family members of the three hundred imperial troops who died in the battle will also be punished." I, Mrs. Duan, will take care of it."

"My lord is serious."

Wang Longchuan said: "They have already been expelled from the Dali royal family, and what they did has nothing to do with the Duan family. How can the prince bear the responsibility."

"When will the chief coach arrive?"

Nie Feng looked at Bai Wuchou and asked.

"President Zhu got the news that someone was going to sneak attack on the government office, so my uncle and I started light kung fu all night before we arrived ahead of time, but there are too many of them, and it will take at least two days' journey to escort the money and food. By the way, he also sent a letter to Feige, the six gates of Huaizhou, but he never replied, what happened?"

Hearing Bai Wushou's words, Nie Feng shook his head and sighed softly: "The entire six gates of Huaizhou have been slaughtered, and the whereabouts of Yang Yi, the chief arresting golden eagle, is unknown now. No one knows whether he is dead or alive. .”

"how is this possible?"

Bai Wuchou and Duan Zhengyang looked at each other, and said in disbelief: "Although the six gates of Huaizhou don't have supernatural masters, the golden eagle Yang Yi's martial arts are not inferior to supernatural masters, and there are so many top masters, how could they be slaughtered?" ?”

Nie Feng expressed his doubts and told them about Hu Tian. However, Hu Tian is now seriously injured and the poison in his body has not dissipated. It is difficult to tell what happened that day for a while.

But what made Nie Feng even more uneasy were the three dragon needles.

He has never forgotten this incident, and when he was in Qingfengzhai that day, someone secretly attacked him with a dragon needle, but that person does not seem to be here today, either the other party has other important matters and did not come this time, or He came but did not take part in the operation, so escaped unharmed.

Thinking of this, Nie Feng suddenly said loudly: "Guys, let's put them under arrest for the time being, but just in case, it's better to put them in the government office, lest someone will rob the prison."

"Alright, with us here, even if someone comes to rob the prison, he won't be able to succeed."

Nie Feng secretly calculated in his heart that if the other party really came, then he would definitely find an opportunity to rescue Qin Wu and Duan Sisi, and then release the news that the two were locked up here. As long as he dared to enter the government office, Nie Feng Feng can guarantee that he can't get out.

At this time, the sky had already seen light.

With the help of many red dragon guards, the corpses in the courtyard were also carried away, and everyone came to the lobby.

"If the person behind this matter is really Ding Xiang, then this matter will not be easy to handle." Bai Wuchou shook his head and said, "Ding said that he has great power in the court, and His Majesty has been in seclusion for several months. The supervisory state handles the government affairs, but the crown prince is weak and sick, and most of the government affairs are in the hands of Ding Wei, if the Holy Majesty does not leave the customs, no one will be able to do anything to Ding Wei?"

"Is the prince's illness still not cured?"

Wang Longchuan frowned and said, "When I came to Beijing last year, the crown prince coughed up blood all day long. Why hasn't he recovered after a year?"

"I don't know, Mr. Mingjing, the God of Medicine, and Mr. Gu, the ghost doctor, have both seen it, but the prince's illness is always good and bad. I even suspect that the prince is not sick at all, but was..."

"Brother Bai!"

Nie Feng suddenly stopped drinking, interrupting Bai Wuchou's words.

Bai Wuchou also reacted immediately, and didn't say any more.

Duan Zhengyang said softly: "Wushou, there are some things you should say, some things you shouldn't say, and some things you should say but you can't. Your martial arts talent is higher than me and your master, but you are far behind in this respect." Your master, you have to study hard in the future."

"Uncle, I understand."

Bai Wuchou nodded.

But although he didn't continue talking just now, everyone knew it well.

There are currently five sons of the Holy Majesty, all of whom can be called peerless arrogance. It can be said that after ascending the throne, each of them will be the generation of the Mingjun and the Holy Lord.

But only one person can sit on that chair. The current crown prince is not only the eldest son, but also has learned a lot from a hundred schools of thought since he was a child. At that time, the masters in the Western Regions wanted to assassinate him, but in the end he was captured by the crown prince. It counter-kills.

It was only then that everyone learned that the prince, who usually does not show the mountains and see the water, has already reached the state of ecstasy, and at that time his younger brothers were only in the innate state.

However, since two years ago, the prince suddenly became seriously ill and coughed up blood continuously, and the imperial doctor couldn't find any problems, so the prince could only rely on his advanced cultivation to resist.

Now at this critical juncture, so many accidents have happened one after another, but after careful study, all the blame points to the Crown Prince of the Supervisory Kingdom.

Once the disaster relief matters are not handled properly and the people complain, the crown prince will bear the brunt of the disaster, and then there will be people with malicious intentions to add fuel to the flames, it is hard to say whether the position of the crown prince can be secured.

Taking a step back, even if the crown prince did not lose power, it would be very difficult for him to inherit the throne given his physical condition.

After all, the current Song Dynasty is so powerful that it is impossible to choose a sick prince as emperor. Wouldn't that be a loss of national unity?

"Ding said this guy...couldn't be so bold?"

Wang Longchuan said in a somewhat astringent tone.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, but no one spoke.

"Ding Wei is already an extremely human minister, and the next step is the throne. Unless he wants to raise troops to rebel, his position will not change whoever becomes the emperor!"

In the end, it was Duan Zhengyang who spoke.

Ding said that he is now the prime minister of the dynasty, with a status of less than one person and more than ten thousand people. As Duan Zhengyang said just now, unless he wants to rebel and become emperor, his official position will not change in any way.

"Let's not talk about that, until there is not enough evidence, we can only wait and see what happens. As long as the 300 million taels of disaster relief money can be recovered, Ding Wei has to stay there even if he has the ability to reach the sky, but what is the money? Where was it hidden?"

"Three million taels of silver is not a small amount, and all the money sent by the court is cash. I think it must be hidden somewhere around Liulongkou. The goal of carrying 300 million taels of silver across the state is too big, and it is easy to cause trouble. The attention of others." Qian Feng said thoughtfully.

"Then will they exchange the silver for silver bills?"

Xiao Wuming said: "300 million taels of silver is a lot, but 300 million taels of silver is easy to carry."

"Liu Zheng."

Qian Feng spoke suddenly.

"Subordinates are here."

Liu Zheng immediately stiffened.

"Send someone to Huaizhou City and the various banks in the counties and counties under your jurisdiction immediately to see if there has been a large amount of silver exchange recently."

"Yes!"

Liu Zheng took the order and went out.

If 300 million taels of silver want to be exchanged for silver bills, it is definitely not something that one or two banks can do, and the goal is too obvious. If Qin Wu and the others really exchange silver for silver bills, they will definitely be broken into pieces , Go to many banks to exchange them to deceive others.

Nie Feng said at this time: "In this case, I will go to Liulongkou to investigate again and see if there are any clues?"

"I made a new prescription to see if I can detoxify Hu Tian's body." Xiao Wuming said.

"Brother Bai, Prince Duan, Lord Hou, I will leave the government office to you."

Nie Feng cupped his hands to the three of them.

"Are you going alone?" Bai Wuchou frowned slightly.

Nie Feng nodded: "Yes, it's convenient for me to do things alone. If I find a clue, it's not too late for me to come back and call someone."

"Alright, then you pay attention to safety."

…………

Everyone began to split up.

Nie Feng left Huaizhou on a fast horse and arrived at Liulongkou.

He activated the internal force of the Nine Suns Divine Art, and the scorching internal force melted the ice and snow on the ground, and soon he found intermittent footprints and wheel marks on the ground. Nie Feng's spirit was immediately lifted, and he followed the footprints and wheel marks. and go.

After half an hour.

Nie Feng came to a mountain depression.

He raised his head and carefully looked around, only to realize that he had come to the back mountain of Xiaoliu Village.

Standing where he was, he could vaguely see Xiaoliu Village, and he still remembered that the villagers in Xiaoliu Village said that there were young and middle-aged villagers in the village who came to the back mountain to hunt, but in the end, all of them were dead and dead. , Is there any mystery here?
Relying on his unique skills, Nie Feng sped towards the depths of the mountain depression. As his footsteps deepened, Nie Feng gradually found some corpses. Judging by the clothes on his body, they should be villagers from Xiaoliu Village. Randomly thrown on the ground, Nie Feng inspected the corpses and found that there were no injuries on the surface of these corpses, as if they had died of a sudden disease.

It wasn't until Nie Feng saw another corpse. Unlike the other corpses, the chest of this corpse had been cut open, exposing the tattered internal organs. Dog bite marks, but he didn't know exactly what bit it.

In order to determine the cause of death of these corpses, Nie Feng turned snow into a knife and cut open the chests of several corpses, and found that the cause of death of all of them was that the internal organs were eaten away, without exception, and they were eaten from the inside out .

At this moment, Nie Feng suddenly heard the sound of footsteps.

He immediately floated and hid in the dark, looking ahead carefully.

Not long after, two figures wrapped in black came over, threw the corpse in their hands to the ground, and turned to leave.

Nie Feng looked at the corpse, and then he realized in his heart that someone probably used a large living person to carry out some unknown experiment here, and these corpses are the results of the experiment.

Suppressing the killing intent in his heart, Nie Feng quietly followed behind the two, and soon came to the bottom of a mountain wall.

Those two people came to a boulder and knocked on it a few times. The stone immediately moved three feet to the side, revealing a dark hole. There is no trace of any chiseled mechanism.

Nie Feng waited there for a while, seeing no one came out, so he came to the huge rock, touched it, but found no mechanism.

"Weird..."

Nie Feng slapped it again without giving up.

As a result, the stone suddenly moved aside. Nie Feng thought that he had knocked and opened the mechanism by mistake, but who would have thought that a man in black would come out suddenly, and the two stood there facing each other.

The man in black was obviously also stunned. He hadn't expected someone to appear suddenly. When he came back to his senses and wanted to shout, Nie Feng slapped his chest directly, and the force of his powerful palm was instantly shattered. His viscera, and then Nie Feng took off the black robe on the man in black and wrapped it around his body, disguised himself as him, and entered the cave.

As for that person's body, Nie Feng burned it to ashes with his red sun palm, so as not to be discovered by others.

Only then did Nie Feng realize that the inside of the cave was actually empty!
