Chapter 141 Master Li, we are the same kind! 【order】
He had secretly guessed that the person who sent people to attack the imperial envoy's station was Cai Wen. Huang Wenzheng, who hated Cai Wen to death, heard what Li Huan said, so he immediately expressed his attitude to Li Huan.
If it is said that Li Huan was really killed by the people sent by Cai Wen, then no matter how much Huang Wenzheng had an opinion on Cai Wen in his heart, then he could only endure it, and he didn't even dare to show his dissatisfaction with Cai Wen .
But now Li Huan is safe and sound, and Huang Wenzheng is not stupid, so he doesn't know that as long as there is no accident, Cai Wen must be doomed this time.
Not to mention the many crimes that Cai Wen has committed over the years, just the crime of sending people to attack the imperial envoy tonight is enough to wipe out Cai Wen's family.
A group of people went straight to Cai Wen's mansion. Although Li Huan did not have much hope for catching Cai Wen in Cai Wen's mansion, after all, Cai Wen still had some relatives in the Fuzhou mansion. Yes, if you can't hold Cai Wen, at least some of his relatives must be held first.
As for the rest of Cai Wen's relatives, they were in the Cai family mansion in Minqing County. When Li Huan left Lvzhuyuan, he had already ordered Jin Yiwei to bring his warrant to Minqing County to find the local guard and dispatch troops.
Sure enough, when a group of people rushed to Cai Wen's mansion in Fuzhou, they took down several relatives of Cai Wen, but did not see Cai Wen.
Huang Wenzheng frowned and said to Li Huan: "My lord, Cai Wen has always been cunning. Even if Cai Wen is still in Fuzhou City, he is probably hiding in an unknown place waiting for news."
Li Huan nodded slightly. After all, Fuzhou City was Cai Wen's territory. Even though Li Huan had made all kinds of arrangements as much as possible in advance, it was still inferior to Cai Wen, who was a local snake.
It's like Li Huan was already quite decisive before, and he wanted to arrest people together with Wang Yangming, but he didn't expect Cai Wen to take the first step.
But now it is obviously not so easy to find Cai Wenlai in the huge city of Fuzhou.
After glancing at Huang Wenzheng, Li Huan said calmly: "Prefect Huang, as the Fuzhou parent official, do you have a way to find Cai Wen?"
Huang Wenzheng smiled wryly when he heard the words: "My lord thinks highly of the subordinate officials too much. The subordinate officials have only been in office for a few years. Fuzhou City is the administrative center of Fujian Province. There are many high-ranking officials and dignitaries. The subordinate officials can't even control Fuzhou City. And how could there be a way to find Cai Wen, a local snake who has been entrenched in Fujian for more than ten years."
What Huang Wenzheng said is also true, in fact, Li Huan didn't expect Huang Wenzheng to be of any help, but at this moment, one of the guards who came with Huang Wenzheng suddenly stood up and said: "My lord, the little one may know Where is Cai Wen hiding?"
It has to be said that as soon as this person said this, a crowd of people immediately looked at him.
In that secluded small courtyard, the man in black who was sent out earlier knelt down in front of Cai Wen and Sun Wei in a bit of panic.
The man in black, Xue Lun, Wu Ke, and others were all killed by Li Huan, and the pirate soldiers who besieged Green Bamboo Garden also suffered heavy casualties, and the news came out that they all collapsed.
Although they already had some bad guesses in their hearts, when they actually heard the news, Cai Wen and Sun Wei still showed disappointment.
Waving his hands to signal the man in black to go down, Cai Wen let out a long breath, and said with a gloomy expression, "I never thought that what I thought would be foolproof would fail. Could it be that God is dying and I can't wait?"
It could be heard that Cai Wen was full of unwillingness in his heart, and he also knew that when he took that step and chose to murder Li Huan, he had no way of turning back. Only one of him and Li Huan could survive, or Li Huan died, and when the time came The entire Fujian officialdom pushed out a few unlucky people as scapegoats, but it could also quell the heinous case of the imperial envoy being killed.
But now that he has not been able to kill Li Huan, once Cai Wen falls into Li Huan's hands, one can imagine what will happen to him.
Sun Wei has been by Cai Wen's side for many years, and he is very familiar with Cai Wen. He could hear the discouragement in Cai Wen's tone just by hearing Cai Wen speak.
Fearing that Cai Wen would be overwhelmed, Sun Wei hurriedly said: "My lord, the matter is not that bad. At worst, let's take people overseas. With the foundation we have laid at sea over the years, we can still be kings and hegemons at ease."
Lifting his spirits, Cai Wen looked at Sun Wei and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Gongya, Cai has never given up."
Said that a fierce look flashed in his eyes: "Besides, I have been ruined by Li Huan this time. If he doesn't let me have a good time, then I will never let him have a good time."
Sun Wei nodded and said: "Yes, we must not let Li Huan feel better."
Seeing that Cai Wen's mood had returned to normal, Sun Wei also secretly heaved a sigh of relief. When he was about to persuade Cai Wen to leave, suddenly there was a sound of horseshoes on the road outside.
The two looked at each other, and walked towards the door together.
This courtyard was specially selected by them in advance, and it is only a few hundred meters away from the Green Bamboo Garden, so the sound of killing and the soaring flames from the Green Bamboo Garden before, the people in the middle of the courtyard Both Cai Wen and Sun Wei could see and hear clearly.
At this moment, there was movement outside, and the two of them approached the closed door and looked outside through the gap.
In the darkness, they saw a group of Jin Yiwei, who obviously still had the breath after the fight, walking forward surrounded by a figure they were all too familiar with.
It was Li Huan who was riding on the horse. Both Cai Wen and Sun Wei recognized Li Huan at a glance. When he saw Li Huan, a stern look flashed in Cai Wen's eyes. It's a pity that the dead soldiers who stayed beside him Although there were dozens of people, and even one or two good fighters, Cai Wen also knew one thing, that is, it was impossible to pose any threat to Li Huan with the manpower around him alone.
If he really couldn't control his emotions and led someone to kill him, not only he couldn't kill Li Huan, but he would throw himself into a trap.
He forced himself to suppress the urge to rush out, and just stared at the figure of Li Huan and Li Huan surrounded by hundreds of Jin Yiwei, Cai Wen slowly withdrew his gaze, and said to Sun Wei: "Call everyone, come with me Use the secret way to get out of the city."
Little did he know that Li Huan, who had passed by the small courtyard where Cai Wen and Sun Wei were hiding, was also looking at the guard who suddenly stood up.
The guard looked to be in his 20s, a fairly ordinary young man.
When the guard stood up, some companions couldn't help exclaiming: "Bai Tong, you are crazy, don't talk nonsense."
Apparently some people were afraid that Baitong would speak nonsense, and in the end, instead of being able to do any meritorious service, he would offend the Shangguan and be held accountable.
You must know that one is Huang Wenzheng, the magistrate of the prefecture, and the other is the imperial envoy of the imperial court. The anger of either of them is not something he, Bai Tong, a small servant can bear.
But Bai Tong's face was full of determination. When Li Huan looked at Bai Tong, he could notice the hatred in his eyes.
With the corner of his mouth slightly raised, Li Huan said to Bai Tong: "Do you really know where Cai Wen is staying? If you can really lead us to find Cai Wen, I will definitely reward you."
With a plop, Bai Tong knelt down in front of Li Huan and Huang Wenzheng, respectfully kowtowed and said, "I don't expect a reward from my lord, I just hope that I can arrest Cai Wen and deal with it according to the laws of the country. It can be regarded as avenging the killing of the father."
Everyone was taken aback by Bai Tong's words, and an officer who had a good relationship with Bai Tong couldn't help saying in surprise: "Bai Tong, what are you talking about? Didn't Uncle Bai fall into the water and die after drinking? Will it be murdered by someone?"
Especially from Bai Tong's point of view, Bai Tong's father was still killed by Cai Wen, otherwise, he would not say that he took down Cai Wen, and it would be regarded as revenge for killing his father.
Huang Wenzheng didn't think too much about it, and he didn't care about the enmity between Bai Tong and Cai Wen at the moment. Anyway, in the huge Fujian area, there were many people whose families were ruined by Cai Wen, and there was only one more Bai Tong. Not surprising.
He just cared about whether what Bai Tong said was true or not. If Bai Tong really knew where Cai Wen was staying in Fuzhou City, then he would have made a contribution by then, wouldn't he?
Therefore, Huang Wenzheng looked at Bai Tong, and said with some expectation: "Bai Tong, tell me quickly, do you really know where Cai Wen is hiding?"
Bai Tong nodded at Huang Wenzheng and said: "Younger's father used to be an official under Cai Wen, and once his father accidentally mentioned that Cai Wen built a secret road leading to the outside of the city in a secluded house near the city gate. road"
As he said that, a look of hatred flashed in Bai Tong's eyes and he said, "Because my father presided over the construction of the secret path, but not long after, my father went to the invitation of Sun Wei, Cai Wen's confidant, and fell into the water and drowned on the way back."
Everyone couldn't help looking at Bai Tong with sympathy when they heard Bai Tong's words. All fools understood that Bai Tong's father was murdered after he built the secret escape path for Cai Wen.
A flash of light flashed in Li Huan's eyes and said: "Since you know where Cai Wen is hiding, then lead the way quickly, otherwise, if it is too late, Cai Wen and his gang may escape."
Speaking of which, Li Huan said to Chen Yao: "Give him a fast horse."
Bai Tong said to Li Huan: "My lord, I spent nearly a year searching every day to find the yard in Qingshui Lane, and the exit of the secret road is in the woods outside the city. If you are worried about Cai Wen getting away , you can send people to the grove outside the city to block the exit."
Li Huan smiled slightly, and asked clearly where the small courtyard with the secret passage was, and then ordered an officer who knew the location of the small courtyard to lead the way, and ordered Du Guang and Chen Yao to bring dozens of guards in Jinyi and Bai. Tong Tong went outside the city to block the exit of the secret passage.
Immediately, the two teams separated and left, while Li Huan and Huang Wenzheng and others rushed to the courtyard near the city gate.
Near the gate of the city, in Qingshui Lane, a secluded courtyard was filled with a smell of blood, and an elderly couple was seen lying in a pool of blood.
Sun Wei looked at the couple lying in a pool of blood and sighed softly: "In recent years, the couple have taken good care of the yard, but it's a pity that they have bad luck. Who let them buy this yard? .”
It turned out that after the secret road was repaired, Sun Wei secretly ordered someone to sell the yard, and the couple who bought the yard unintentionally were ordinary people who had no connection at all.
So no one would have imagined that there would be a secret road leading to the outside of the city hidden in this courtyard.
But now that the secret passage is going to be used, in order to prevent them from being found out and leave Fuzhou City through the secret passage, they can only kill people to silence them.
After all, Sun Wei and Cai Wen still hope to attract Li Huan's attention to Fuzhou City for a few days. As long as Li Huan doesn't know that they have left Fuzhou City, he will definitely choose to close the city gate and search for them wantonly in the city.
It doesn't take too long, it only needs to delay for a day or two, and the group of them may have fled to the sea by then.
And at that time, even if Li Huan had the means to reach the sky, he would never be able to find them.
Cai Wen glanced at the corpses of the couple on the ground, and said to the men in black behind him, "Drag it down so that it can be cleaned up."
And at this moment, in the bedroom of this house, under the bed where a big bed was originally placed, a mechanism has been cleverly opened, revealing a hole.
At this time, Cai Wen had already walked into the bedroom, looking at the exposed hole, he couldn't help but sigh: "I just dug this secret passage just in case, I thought it would be impossible to use it in my whole life." , but I never thought about it..."
Sun Wei persuaded from the side: "My lord, as long as we leave Fuzhou City, we can enter the sea. From now on, the sky will be high and the sea will be wide, and we will be free to do whatever we want. He, Li Huan, would never have imagined that the lord would have such an arrangement."
Cai Wen couldn't help laughing and said: "That's right, this time I didn't expect Li Huan to have such a strong strength, but in the end I didn't let the old man go away calmly, what can he do to me?"
The ground trembled slightly, and dozens of men in black gathered in the courtyard at this moment, and the leader of them couldn't help but change his face and said to Cai Wen and Sun Wei: "My lord, there are a lot of people coming, maybe Li Huan has already started to send orders The whole city was searched."
Sun Wei looked at Cai Wen and said, "At this time the city gate is closed, Li Huan is sure that we are still trapped in the city, sir, please leave the city immediately."
Cai Wen took a deep breath and said, "Go! Follow me out of the city."
Immediately, several men in black walked into the secret passage first, followed by Sun Wei and Cai Wen, and the rest of the men in black quickly entered the secret passage.
The last man in black restored the bed to its original state before entering the secret passage, and activated the mechanism to cover the opening. Unless someone directly broke into the bedroom and searched carefully, it would be absolutely impossible to find the strangeness in the room.
Not long after Cai Wen and the others entered the secret passage, a team of Jinyi guards broke open the gate and rushed into the courtyard. They quickly occupied the entire courtyard and searched it.
The bodies of the couple who had been thrown into the kitchen were discovered immediately, and it didn't take long to find the secret passage in the bedroom based on clues.
After all, it is impossible for dozens of people to appear in the bedroom without leaving clues. It would be a strange thing if Jin Yiwei, who is good at tracing, can't find the secret passage.
A general banner of Jinyiwei opened the secret passage and said: "My lord, it seems that the other party has already entered the secret passage, but I don't know if Du Baihu and Chen Baihu will have time to block them."
Li Huan was mentally prepared for this, if Cai Wen really didn't even enter the secret way, that would be a strange thing.
However, in a grove outside the city, Du Guang, Chen Yao and a team of Jinyi guards were watching Bai Tong squatting on the ground and picking up a piece of grass, trying to pick something up.
Normally, there are very few forests around a city like Fuzhou City. After all, these forests will obviously provide a hiding place for people who harbor evil intentions towards the city.
It's just that the Ming Dynasty has been in peace for a hundred years, not only outside Fuzhou City, it can be said that there are a lot of forests near many cities in the Ming Dynasty, and no one cares about it at all.
Even these woods are not unowned, and are often the land occupied by powerful local gentry.
Several Jin Yiwei were also helping Bai Tong to find the exit of the secret passage.
Bai Tong frowned and said, "I remember it was near here!"
Apparently, although Bai Tong found the entrance and exit of the secret passage, he didn't know exactly where the entrance and exit was, so he could only make a rough judgment. After all, he spent quite a long time looking for it, but he didn't dare to be careless, because he couldn't guarantee it. Has Cai Wen specially arranged for someone to guard the secret passage?
Suddenly, a sound came from a piece of withered grass a few feet away behind Bai Tong and the others, and the sound immediately alarmed Du Guang, Chen Yao and others.
In an instant, everyone drew their knives and surrounded the piece of dry grass.
Bai Tong also clenched the simple knife in his hand with excitement, staring at the piece of withered grass.
It could be seen that something should be exerting force on the ground, and in the next moment, an iron plate was lifted off, revealing a hole that was a foot deep in the ground.
Fortunately, the person who exerted his strength was an astonishingly strong player, otherwise, no one would be able to overturn the thick soil layer alone.
Seeing a man in black lift the iron plate that covered the exit of the secret passage, his eyes suddenly lit up. The man in black was a little dazed for a while, why was there a bright fire dancing outside.
Blinking his eyes instinctively, when the man in black saw a Jin Yiwei holding an embroidered spring knife looking at him with strange eyes, the man in black reflexively uttered a terrified cry: "Jinyiwei!"
With a puff, he pierced the man in black's neck with a knife, and the blood spurted out immediately. Du Guang smiled excitedly: "It's fortunate that we were one step faster, otherwise they would really have escaped." .”
In the secret road, Cai Wen, who was planning to get out of Fuzhou City and where to stay at sea, suddenly heard a shrill scream in front of him and couldn't help changing his expression: "What happened?"
At this time, the men in black in front had already discovered that the exit was surrounded by Jin Yiwei, and one by one panicked, they informed Sun Wei and Cai Wen of the news.
"what!"
When Cai Wen learned that the exit had been blocked by Jin Yiwei, Cai Wen's face became extremely exciting, and he looked at Sun Wei almost reflexively.
There are very few people who know the existence of this secret path. Except for Sun Wei's limited number of people, including those who built this secret path, they have been silenced afterwards. No one will know where the exit of the secret passage is.
Stared at by Cai Wen, Sun Wei is not a fool, he almost instinctively said: "My lord, you are definitely not a subordinate, you know your subordinate!"
Taking a deep breath, Cai Wen nodded and said, "I know it's not Gongya, but who leaked the existence of the Secret Way?"
Thinking that Li Huan might be waiting for him at the exit of the secret passage, Cai Wen wished he could chop up the leaker and feed it to the dogs.
"Rush, rush out for me!"
Cai Wen growled, and immediately a dozen men in black rushed towards the exit of the secret passage.
Even a few second-rate fighters among them tried to rush out of the secret passage, but at the exit of the secret passage, dozens of Jin Yiwei were holding bows and crossbows and embroidered spring knives, and one of them was shot into a hedgehog before he could stand still.
This is Chen Yao and Du Guang deliberately giving them a chance to come out, otherwise they will just block the exit and no one will come out.
In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen men in black died, and the blood even flowed back into the secret passage. The strong smell of blood rushed to their faces, which only made Cai Wen, Sun Wei and the rest of the men in black look pale. ugly.
"My lord, what should I do!"
Several dead men looked at Cai Wen and Sun Wei.
They are not afraid of death, but rushing out is simply sending them to their deaths. Such an act of sending them to their deaths for nothing, even if they lose the dead, they can't bear it.
And at this moment, Chen Yao's big laughter came from the entrance: "Cai Wen, my adults have expected that you will be here, and ordered us to wait for you here. If you don't come out again, your grandpa Chen Yao But it’s going to set fire to smoke you rats out.”
Cai Wen's complexion changed when he heard this, he took a deep breath and said loudly, "Where is Li Huan?"
Chen Yao was stunned for a moment, and then said: "My lord is at the entrance of the secret passage, so you can't escape. If you don't come out again, I will really set it on fire!"
Cai Wen ignored Chen Yao at the exit, turned around and headed towards the entrance and said, "If you want to try it, keep going, if you don't want to, just follow me to meet Li Huan for a while."
Said Cai Wen with a bit of resignation: "I would like to know who leaked the secret of this secret way, causing my official success to fail!"
After hearing Cai Wen's words, Sun Wei couldn't help but change his face and said: "My lord, you must not, once you turn around, you will definitely die!"
Cai Wen said without turning his head: "Even if you don't look back, so what, can you still lead people out of the secret path?"
Sun Wei listened to Jin Yiwei's ridicule from the exit of the secret passage, looked at those dead men who knew they were going to die, and they were unwilling to go to the exit to die, smiled miserably, and bowed to Cai Wen: "My lord, The subordinates can no longer accompany you and advise you!"
While speaking, I saw Sun Wei's mouth forcefully, the poison sac in his mouth was bitten by him, and the poison quickly entered the abdomen, and the poison circulated all over the body. The severe pain made Sun Wei curl up, and he lost his breath after a while.
The rest of the dead soldiers stepped over Sun Wei's body indifferently, and followed Cai Wen.
In the courtyard near the gate of the city, Huang Wenzheng's face was quite ugly. No one knew Cai Wen's ruthlessness better than the officials who served under Cai Wen.
If Cai Wen is allowed to escape this time, Huang Wenzheng feels that with Cai Wen's nature, even greater troubles may lie ahead.Maybe he, the magistrate, may even become the target of Cai Wen's revenge.
Thinking of Cai Wen's methods, Huang Wenzheng couldn't help feeling frightened for a while, with a bit of panic showing on his face.
Li Huan looked at Huang Wenzheng in surprise and said, "Prefect Huang, what's wrong with you?"
Huang Wenzheng came back to his senses, smiled wryly at Li Huan and said, "I am worried that if Cai Wen really escapes, everyone will not have a peaceful life in the future."
Slightly stunned, Li Huan immediately reacted.
Thinking about it, Cai Wen can even do such crazy things as attacking and killing imperial envoys, so what else is he afraid to do.
The most important thing is that Cai Wen has been rooted in Fujian for more than ten years. He wants money and people, unless he is killed, otherwise as long as he runs away, with Cai Wen's nature, he will inevitably make trouble.
Thinking of this, Li Huan couldn't help rubbing his brows. If he really wanted to worry, he should be most worried about him, the one who has a sworn feud with Cai Wen.
After Cai Wen made a move, if he wanted to take revenge, Li Huan would definitely be the first to seek him out.
If Cai Wen's revenge came after him, Li Huan would not be afraid. Li Huan really didn't care about the assassination.
The key point is that he is not alone. Not to mention Li's huge family, even his mother Feng and grandmother Lin in Langqi Island can be said to be his bondage.
Just as he was thinking about it, there was a sudden exclamation from the bedroom behind him, followed by a Jin Yiwei shouting: "My lord, there seems to be someone in the secret passage."
Everyone was stunned when they heard this. At first they had no hope of being able to stop Cai Wen. Li Huan even thought about how to strengthen the defense of Langqi Island, and at the same time mobilized more forces from Jinyiwei from the capital to go all out Chase and kill Cai Wen and his minions.
"Look who it is!"
Li Huan and the others walked into the bedroom, their gazes naturally fell on the entrance of the secret passage, and several Jinyi guards beside them clenched the Xiuchun Knives in their hands, but they would pounce on them immediately if there was a slight change.
Through the long secret passage, with his eyesight beyond ordinary people, Li Huan vaguely saw a figure walking slowly.
When he was thinking about who the person might be, a voice suddenly came from the secret passage: "Where is Li Huan, my official Cai Wen, let Li Huan come to see me!"
Huang Wenzheng, who was standing next to Li Huan, heard Cai Wen's voice from the secret passage, and his face showed infinite surprise, and he couldn't help but exclaimed: "It's Cai Wen, it's really Cai Wen."
Under Huang Wenzheng's loss of composure, his voice was not low, and Cai Wen who was in the secret passage could hear it clearly.
Then I heard Cai Wen's voice coming from the secret passage: "So there is Huang Zhifu, isn't Huang Zhifu afraid that the imperial court will punish you for your crime?"
Huang Wenzheng immediately said: "Cai Wen, you are so bold that you dare to attack the imperial guard of honor. You want to seek death yourself, but you still want to drag everyone to be buried with you?"
Cai Wen laughed loudly and said: "It's just that God is not open to killing Li Huan. Otherwise, I would have lent you Huang Wenzheng's ten guts. Do you dare to talk to Cai like this?"
Huang Wenzheng immediately shut up, he really didn't dare to answer these words, because he knew that if it was true that Li Huan was harmed by Cai Wen as what Cai Wen said, he would really dare not show the slightest disrespect in front of Cai Wen.
At this moment, Li Huan looked at the secret road and said slowly: "Master Cai, we met again, but I never thought that we would meet again under such circumstances."
Cai Wen had already reached the exit of the secret passage at this time, and the jumping flames made Cai Wen's eyes a little unclear about Li Huan's figure.
After gradually getting used to the light outside the secret path, Cai Wen saw Li Huan, and saw Li Huan in a black robe, standing there looking at him calmly.
"Li Huan!"
Li Huan's name came out of his mouth, Cai Wen looked around, besides Li Huan and Huang Wenzheng, there were guards in Jinyi, the prefect's yamen and so on.
Cai Wen failed to find the person who might reveal the existence of the secret way, so he felt a little doubtful in his heart. He glanced at Li Huan and said with a little regret: "The old man has underestimated you. If I had known that you have such strength , the old man will bury tens of thousands of catties of gunpowder in the Green Bamboo Garden and send you on your way."
Huang Wenzheng couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth when he heard Cai Wen's words, he was startled by Cai Wen's cruelty and madness.
Even Li Huan couldn't help being afraid for a while. Seeing Cai Wen's solemn expression, it was obvious that this man was definitely not as simple as talking about it. If he was given another chance to talk, he would really bury tens of thousands of catties. gunpowder.
Letting out a breath, Li Huan looked at Cai Wen and said, "There is no medicine for regret in this world, Mr. Cai, you have no chance!"
To be honest, Li Huan admired Cai Wen's temperament, means and even courage, that is to say, his luck was against the heavens, otherwise, he really wouldn't be a match for the inspector.
After all, Li Huan has never experienced any cruel struggles in his past and present lives, and his mentality is far beyond that of his peers.
Didn't you see that even Wang Yangming admired Li Huan's ability?
It's just that compared to Cai Wen, an old fox with ups and downs in his official career, Li Huan lacks a bit of ruthlessness, a bit of tempering from the years.
With these thoughts flashing through his mind, Li Huan suddenly bowed his hands to Cai Wen.
Everyone was stunned by Li Huan's actions, and they couldn't figure out what Li Huan's sudden worship of Cai Wen meant.
Cai Wen also looked at Li Huan in surprise, and Li Huan said to Cai Wen with a serious expression at this moment: "Li Huan thanked Mr. Cai for teaching Li Huan this lesson today, and Li Huan will remember the lesson that Mr. Cai taught Li Huan. "
After hearing Li Huan's words, Cai Wen narrowed his eyes, stared at Li Huan, and suddenly burst out laughing.
"Interesting, really interesting, I didn't expect you and Cai to be the same kind of people!"
However, Li Huan slowly shook his head and said: "Master Cai is wrong. Li has his own bottom line and principles in his actions, unlike you who are lawless and have no scruples. You and I are not the same kind of people at all."
Cai Wen didn't take Li Huan's defense seriously at all, but looked at Li Huan with a smile on his face and said, "You are the one who really has nothing to worry about!"
Li Huan looked at Cai Wen and said, "Master Cai, do you have anything else to say? If not, just follow Li."
Cai Wen didn't move, he glanced at everyone and said, "Cai wants to know who told you about the existence of the Secret Way."
Everyone present could hear the hatred in Cai Wen's words.
Li Huan was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that Cai Wen obviously thought that someone close to him had betrayed him, otherwise there would never be such a strong hatred.
Huang Wenzheng obviously understood Cai Wen's thoughts, and couldn't help but said: "Master Cai, people are doing it, and the sky is watching, and they all say that the retribution is not good. Do you know that it was you who killed the white master who helped you build this secret road?" Because of this, Bai Tong, the son of Master Bai, endured the hatred of killing his father, and spent several years to confirm the existence of your secret path..."
Cai Wen was stunned. He boasted that he had calculated everything and was unparalleled in his calculations. Even when the secret way was exposed, he thought it was the people close to him who betrayed him, but he never thought that the secret way would be because they killed him. He lost a master and was targeted by a small person, so that he was on the verge of failure when he was about to escape from birth and return to the sea.
"Hahaha, it's ridiculous, it's really ridiculous, the old man has been calculating all his life, but he didn't expect to fall on an unknown junior!"
Li Huan looked at the mad-looking Cai Wen, waved his hand, and several Jin Yiwei stepped forward and tried to catch Cai Wen.
But at this moment, several figures shot out from the secret path, they were the dead men who followed Cai Wen.
Li Huan's expression remained unchanged as he watched the dead soldiers rushing toward him, and the next moment he heard the sound of bowstrings coming from a crossbow.
More than a dozen guards in Jin Yi held strong crossbows and shot without hesitation, and the few soldiers who rushed out were shot to death on the spot in the blink of an eye.
Some dead men even wiped Cai Wen's body and fell to the ground, with blood spilled all over Cai Wen's body, but Cai Wen was unmoved at all and laughed endlessly.
huh, huh
The arrows continued, and one after another figure rushed out, and was shot and killed on the spot. It was not until the corpses of more than a dozen dead soldiers fell beside Cai Wen that it was confirmed that no one rushed out in the secret passage.
Several Jin Yiwei immediately rushed into the secret passage with their crossbows in their hands, and at this moment Cai Wen also stopped laughing, his expression returned to calm, and he suddenly said: "If the old man guessed correctly, you will It's definitely not because of Han Ling's case, you must have bigger plans."
Li Huan just looked at Cai Wen, but Cai Wen didn't know what to think, suddenly opened his eyes wide, looked at Li Huan in disbelief, and then couldn't help but said: "Li Huan, you really dare to touch the interests of those people, You're dead, you're dead."
Li Huan couldn't help frowning. Only a few people knew the purpose of his visit, but looking at Cai Wen's reaction, he seemed to have guessed something.
"It's ridiculous!"
Li Huan sneered.
On the other hand, Cai Wen stared straight at Li Huan, with black blood flowing out of his mouth abruptly, under the astonished gazes of everyone, he fell down and fell limp among the corpses of many dead soldiers around him. Against the background of many dead men's corpses, he smiled at Li Huan, and a big mouthful of black blood gushed out.
"Li Huan... the old man is waiting for you under the Nine Springs..."
Cai Wen, who fell to the ground, lowered his head slightly, but there was a strange smile on the corner of his mouth, and he whispered in a voice that only he could hear: "Li Huan...do you really think you have won? It's just the beginning..."
Seeing this scene, many people present showed stunned expressions, obviously they did not expect Cai Wen to end his life in this way.
Huang Wenzheng was stunned, looking at Cai Wen's body, the conversation between Cai Wen and Li Huan before his death reverberated in his mind, rippling in his heart, he couldn't help looking at Li Huan.

He had secretly guessed that the person who sent people to attack the imperial envoy's station was Cai Wen. Huang Wenzheng, who hated Cai Wen to death, heard what Li Huan said, so he immediately expressed his attitude to Li Huan.
If it is said that Li Huan was really killed by the people sent by Cai Wen, then no matter how much Huang Wenzheng had an opinion on Cai Wen in his heart, then he could only endure it, and he didn't even dare to show his dissatisfaction with Cai Wen .
But now Li Huan is safe and sound, and Huang Wenzheng is not stupid, so he doesn't know that as long as there is no accident, Cai Wen must be doomed this time.
Not to mention the many crimes that Cai Wen has committed over the years, just the crime of sending people to attack the imperial envoy tonight is enough to wipe out Cai Wen's family.
A group of people went straight to Cai Wen's mansion. Although Li Huan did not have much hope for catching Cai Wen in Cai Wen's mansion, after all, Cai Wen still had some relatives in the Fuzhou mansion. Yes, if you can't hold Cai Wen, at least some of his relatives must be held first.
As for the rest of Cai Wen's relatives, they were in the Cai family mansion in Minqing County. When Li Huan left Lvzhuyuan, he had already ordered Jin Yiwei to bring his warrant to Minqing County to find the local guard and dispatch troops.
Sure enough, when a group of people rushed to Cai Wen's mansion in Fuzhou, they took down several relatives of Cai Wen, but did not see Cai Wen.
Huang Wenzheng frowned and said to Li Huan: "My lord, Cai Wen has always been cunning. Even if Cai Wen is still in Fuzhou City, he is probably hiding in an unknown place waiting for news."
Li Huan nodded slightly. After all, Fuzhou City was Cai Wen's territory. Even though Li Huan had made all kinds of arrangements as much as possible in advance, it was still inferior to Cai Wen, who was a local snake.
It's like Li Huan was already quite decisive before, and he wanted to arrest people together with Wang Yangming, but he didn't expect Cai Wen to take the first step.
But now it is obviously not so easy to find Cai Wenlai in the huge city of Fuzhou.
After glancing at Huang Wenzheng, Li Huan said calmly: "Prefect Huang, as the Fuzhou parent official, do you have a way to find Cai Wen?"
Huang Wenzheng smiled wryly when he heard the words: "My lord thinks highly of the subordinate officials too much. The subordinate officials have only been in office for a few years. Fuzhou City is the administrative center of Fujian Province. There are many high-ranking officials and dignitaries. The subordinate officials can't even control Fuzhou City. And how could there be a way to find Cai Wen, a local snake who has been entrenched in Fujian for more than ten years."
What Huang Wenzheng said is also true, in fact, Li Huan didn't expect Huang Wenzheng to be of any help, but at this moment, one of the guards who came with Huang Wenzheng suddenly stood up and said: "My lord, the little one may know Where is Cai Wen hiding?"
It has to be said that as soon as this person said this, a crowd of people immediately looked at him.
In that secluded small courtyard, the man in black who was sent out earlier knelt down in front of Cai Wen and Sun Wei in a bit of panic.
The man in black, Xue Lun, Wu Ke, and others were all killed by Li Huan, and the pirate soldiers who besieged Green Bamboo Garden also suffered heavy casualties, and the news came out that they all collapsed.
Although they already had some bad guesses in their hearts, when they actually heard the news, Cai Wen and Sun Wei still showed disappointment.
Waving his hands to signal the man in black to go down, Cai Wen let out a long breath, and said with a gloomy expression, "I never thought that what I thought would be foolproof would fail. Could it be that God is dying and I can't wait?"
It could be heard that Cai Wen was full of unwillingness in his heart, and he also knew that when he took that step and chose to murder Li Huan, he had no way of turning back. Only one of him and Li Huan could survive, or Li Huan died, and when the time came The entire Fujian officialdom pushed out a few unlucky people as scapegoats, but it could also quell the heinous case of the imperial envoy being killed.
But now that he has not been able to kill Li Huan, once Cai Wen falls into Li Huan's hands, one can imagine what will happen to him.
Sun Wei has been by Cai Wen's side for many years, and he is very familiar with Cai Wen. He could hear the discouragement in Cai Wen's tone just by hearing Cai Wen speak.
Fearing that Cai Wen would be overwhelmed, Sun Wei hurriedly said: "My lord, the matter is not that bad. At worst, let's take people overseas. With the foundation we have laid at sea over the years, we can still be kings and hegemons at ease."
Lifting his spirits, Cai Wen looked at Sun Wei and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Gongya, Cai has never given up."
Said that a fierce look flashed in his eyes: "Besides, I have been ruined by Li Huan this time. If he doesn't let me have a good time, then I will never let him have a good time."
Sun Wei nodded and said: "Yes, we must not let Li Huan feel better."
Seeing that Cai Wen's mood had returned to normal, Sun Wei also secretly heaved a sigh of relief. When he was about to persuade Cai Wen to leave, suddenly there was a sound of horseshoes on the road outside.
The two looked at each other, and walked towards the door together.
This courtyard was specially selected by them in advance, and it is only a few hundred meters away from the Green Bamboo Garden, so the sound of killing and the soaring flames from the Green Bamboo Garden before, the people in the middle of the courtyard Both Cai Wen and Sun Wei could see and hear clearly.
At this moment, there was movement outside, and the two of them approached the closed door and looked outside through the gap.
In the darkness, they saw a group of Jin Yiwei, who obviously still had the breath after the fight, walking forward surrounded by a figure they were all too familiar with.
It was Li Huan who was riding on the horse. Both Cai Wen and Sun Wei recognized Li Huan at a glance. When he saw Li Huan, a stern look flashed in Cai Wen's eyes. It's a pity that the dead soldiers who stayed beside him Although there were dozens of people, and even one or two good fighters, Cai Wen also knew one thing, that is, it was impossible to pose any threat to Li Huan with the manpower around him alone.
If he really couldn't control his emotions and led someone to kill him, not only he couldn't kill Li Huan, but he would throw himself into a trap.
He forced himself to suppress the urge to rush out, and just stared at the figure of Li Huan and Li Huan surrounded by hundreds of Jin Yiwei, Cai Wen slowly withdrew his gaze, and said to Sun Wei: "Call everyone, come with me Use the secret way to get out of the city."
Little did he know that Li Huan, who had passed by the small courtyard where Cai Wen and Sun Wei were hiding, was also looking at the guard who suddenly stood up.
The guard looked to be in his 20s, a fairly ordinary young man.
When the guard stood up, some companions couldn't help exclaiming: "Bai Tong, you are crazy, don't talk nonsense."
Apparently some people were afraid that Baitong would speak nonsense, and in the end, instead of being able to do any meritorious service, he would offend the Shangguan and be held accountable.
You must know that one is Huang Wenzheng, the magistrate of the prefecture, and the other is the imperial envoy of the imperial court. The anger of either of them is not something he, Bai Tong, a small servant can bear.
But Bai Tong's face was full of determination. When Li Huan looked at Bai Tong, he could notice the hatred in his eyes.
With the corner of his mouth slightly raised, Li Huan said to Bai Tong: "Do you really know where Cai Wen is staying? If you can really lead us to find Cai Wen, I will definitely reward you."
With a plop, Bai Tong knelt down in front of Li Huan and Huang Wenzheng, respectfully kowtowed and said, "I don't expect a reward from my lord, I just hope that I can arrest Cai Wen and deal with it according to the laws of the country. It can be regarded as avenging the killing of the father."
Everyone was taken aback by Bai Tong's words, and an officer who had a good relationship with Bai Tong couldn't help saying in surprise: "Bai Tong, what are you talking about? Didn't Uncle Bai fall into the water and die after drinking? Will it be murdered by someone?"
Especially from Bai Tong's point of view, Bai Tong's father was still killed by Cai Wen, otherwise, he would not say that he took down Cai Wen, and it would be regarded as revenge for killing his father.
Huang Wenzheng didn't think too much about it, and he didn't care about the enmity between Bai Tong and Cai Wen at the moment. Anyway, in the huge Fujian area, there were many people whose families were ruined by Cai Wen, and there was only one more Bai Tong. Not surprising.
He just cared about whether what Bai Tong said was true or not. If Bai Tong really knew where Cai Wen was staying in Fuzhou City, then he would have made a contribution by then, wouldn't he?
Therefore, Huang Wenzheng looked at Bai Tong, and said with some expectation: "Bai Tong, tell me quickly, do you really know where Cai Wen is hiding?"
Bai Tong nodded at Huang Wenzheng and said: "Younger's father used to be an official under Cai Wen, and once his father accidentally mentioned that Cai Wen built a secret road leading to the outside of the city in a secluded house near the city gate. road"
As he said that, a look of hatred flashed in Bai Tong's eyes and he said, "Because my father presided over the construction of the secret path, but not long after, my father went to the invitation of Sun Wei, Cai Wen's confidant, and fell into the water and drowned on the way back."
Everyone couldn't help looking at Bai Tong with sympathy when they heard Bai Tong's words. All fools understood that Bai Tong's father was murdered after he built the secret escape path for Cai Wen.
A flash of light flashed in Li Huan's eyes and said: "Since you know where Cai Wen is hiding, then lead the way quickly, otherwise, if it is too late, Cai Wen and his gang may escape."
Speaking of which, Li Huan said to Chen Yao: "Give him a fast horse."
Bai Tong said to Li Huan: "My lord, I spent nearly a year searching every day to find the yard in Qingshui Lane, and the exit of the secret road is in the woods outside the city. If you are worried about Cai Wen getting away , you can send people to the grove outside the city to block the exit."
Li Huan smiled slightly, and asked clearly where the small courtyard with the secret passage was, and then ordered an officer who knew the location of the small courtyard to lead the way, and ordered Du Guang and Chen Yao to bring dozens of guards in Jinyi and Bai. Tong Tong went outside the city to block the exit of the secret passage.
Immediately, the two teams separated and left, while Li Huan and Huang Wenzheng and others rushed to the courtyard near the city gate.
Near the gate of the city, in Qingshui Lane, a secluded courtyard was filled with a smell of blood, and an elderly couple was seen lying in a pool of blood.
Sun Wei looked at the couple lying in a pool of blood and sighed softly: "In recent years, the couple have taken good care of the yard, but it's a pity that they have bad luck. Who let them buy this yard? .”
It turned out that after the secret road was repaired, Sun Wei secretly ordered someone to sell the yard, and the couple who bought the yard unintentionally were ordinary people who had no connection at all.
So no one would have imagined that there would be a secret road leading to the outside of the city hidden in this courtyard.
But now that the secret passage is going to be used, in order to prevent them from being found out and leave Fuzhou City through the secret passage, they can only kill people to silence them.
After all, Sun Wei and Cai Wen still hope to attract Li Huan's attention to Fuzhou City for a few days. As long as Li Huan doesn't know that they have left Fuzhou City, he will definitely choose to close the city gate and search for them wantonly in the city.
It doesn't take too long, it only needs to delay for a day or two, and the group of them may have fled to the sea by then.
And at that time, even if Li Huan had the means to reach the sky, he would never be able to find them.
Cai Wen glanced at the corpses of the couple on the ground, and said to the men in black behind him, "Drag it down so that it can be cleaned up."
And at this moment, in the bedroom of this house, under the bed where a big bed was originally placed, a mechanism has been cleverly opened, revealing a hole.
At this time, Cai Wen had already walked into the bedroom, looking at the exposed hole, he couldn't help but sigh: "I just dug this secret passage just in case, I thought it would be impossible to use it in my whole life." , but I never thought about it..."
Sun Wei persuaded from the side: "My lord, as long as we leave Fuzhou City, we can enter the sea. From now on, the sky will be high and the sea will be wide, and we will be free to do whatever we want. He, Li Huan, would never have imagined that the lord would have such an arrangement."
Cai Wen couldn't help laughing and said: "That's right, this time I didn't expect Li Huan to have such a strong strength, but in the end I didn't let the old man go away calmly, what can he do to me?"
The ground trembled slightly, and dozens of men in black gathered in the courtyard at this moment, and the leader of them couldn't help but change his face and said to Cai Wen and Sun Wei: "My lord, there are a lot of people coming, maybe Li Huan has already started to send orders The whole city was searched."
Sun Wei looked at Cai Wen and said, "At this time the city gate is closed, Li Huan is sure that we are still trapped in the city, sir, please leave the city immediately."
Cai Wen took a deep breath and said, "Go! Follow me out of the city."
Immediately, several men in black walked into the secret passage first, followed by Sun Wei and Cai Wen, and the rest of the men in black quickly entered the secret passage.
The last man in black restored the bed to its original state before entering the secret passage, and activated the mechanism to cover the opening. Unless someone directly broke into the bedroom and searched carefully, it would be absolutely impossible to find the strangeness in the room.
Not long after Cai Wen and the others entered the secret passage, a team of Jinyi guards broke open the gate and rushed into the courtyard. They quickly occupied the entire courtyard and searched it.
The bodies of the couple who had been thrown into the kitchen were discovered immediately, and it didn't take long to find the secret passage in the bedroom based on clues.
After all, it is impossible for dozens of people to appear in the bedroom without leaving clues. It would be a strange thing if Jin Yiwei, who is good at tracing, can't find the secret passage.
A general banner of Jinyiwei opened the secret passage and said: "My lord, it seems that the other party has already entered the secret passage, but I don't know if Du Baihu and Chen Baihu will have time to block them."
Li Huan was mentally prepared for this, if Cai Wen really didn't even enter the secret way, that would be a strange thing.
However, in a grove outside the city, Du Guang, Chen Yao and a team of Jinyi guards were watching Bai Tong squatting on the ground and picking up a piece of grass, trying to pick something up.
Normally, there are very few forests around a city like Fuzhou City. After all, these forests will obviously provide a hiding place for people who harbor evil intentions towards the city.
It's just that the Ming Dynasty has been in peace for a hundred years, not only outside Fuzhou City, it can be said that there are a lot of forests near many cities in the Ming Dynasty, and no one cares about it at all.
Even these woods are not unowned, and are often the land occupied by powerful local gentry.
Several Jin Yiwei were also helping Bai Tong to find the exit of the secret passage.
Bai Tong frowned and said, "I remember it was near here!"
Apparently, although Bai Tong found the entrance and exit of the secret passage, he didn't know exactly where the entrance and exit was, so he could only make a rough judgment. After all, he spent quite a long time looking for it, but he didn't dare to be careless, because he couldn't guarantee it. Has Cai Wen specially arranged for someone to guard the secret passage?
Suddenly, a sound came from a piece of withered grass a few feet away behind Bai Tong and the others, and the sound immediately alarmed Du Guang, Chen Yao and others.
In an instant, everyone drew their knives and surrounded the piece of dry grass.
Bai Tong also clenched the simple knife in his hand with excitement, staring at the piece of withered grass.
It could be seen that something should be exerting force on the ground, and in the next moment, an iron plate was lifted off, revealing a hole that was a foot deep in the ground.
Fortunately, the person who exerted his strength was an astonishingly strong player, otherwise, no one would be able to overturn the thick soil layer alone.
Seeing a man in black lift the iron plate that covered the exit of the secret passage, his eyes suddenly lit up. The man in black was a little dazed for a while, why was there a bright fire dancing outside.
Blinking his eyes instinctively, when the man in black saw a Jin Yiwei holding an embroidered spring knife looking at him with strange eyes, the man in black reflexively uttered a terrified cry: "Jinyiwei!"
With a puff, he pierced the man in black's neck with a knife, and the blood spurted out immediately. Du Guang smiled excitedly: "It's fortunate that we were one step faster, otherwise they would really have escaped." .”
In the secret road, Cai Wen, who was planning to get out of Fuzhou City and where to stay at sea, suddenly heard a shrill scream in front of him and couldn't help changing his expression: "What happened?"
At this time, the men in black in front had already discovered that the exit was surrounded by Jin Yiwei, and one by one panicked, they informed Sun Wei and Cai Wen of the news.
"what!"
When Cai Wen learned that the exit had been blocked by Jin Yiwei, Cai Wen's face became extremely exciting, and he looked at Sun Wei almost reflexively.
There are very few people who know the existence of this secret path. Except for Sun Wei's limited number of people, including those who built this secret path, they have been silenced afterwards. No one will know where the exit of the secret passage is.
Stared at by Cai Wen, Sun Wei is not a fool, he almost instinctively said: "My lord, you are definitely not a subordinate, you know your subordinate!"
Taking a deep breath, Cai Wen nodded and said, "I know it's not Gongya, but who leaked the existence of the Secret Way?"
Thinking that Li Huan might be waiting for him at the exit of the secret passage, Cai Wen wished he could chop up the leaker and feed it to the dogs.
"Rush, rush out for me!"
Cai Wen growled, and immediately a dozen men in black rushed towards the exit of the secret passage.
Even a few second-rate fighters among them tried to rush out of the secret passage, but at the exit of the secret passage, dozens of Jin Yiwei were holding bows and crossbows and embroidered spring knives, and one of them was shot into a hedgehog before he could stand still.
This is Chen Yao and Du Guang deliberately giving them a chance to come out, otherwise they will just block the exit and no one will come out.
In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen men in black died, and the blood even flowed back into the secret passage. The strong smell of blood rushed to their faces, which only made Cai Wen, Sun Wei and the rest of the men in black look pale. ugly.
"My lord, what should I do!"
Several dead men looked at Cai Wen and Sun Wei.
They are not afraid of death, but rushing out is simply sending them to their deaths. Such an act of sending them to their deaths for nothing, even if they lose the dead, they can't bear it.
And at this moment, Chen Yao's big laughter came from the entrance: "Cai Wen, my adults have expected that you will be here, and ordered us to wait for you here. If you don't come out again, your grandpa Chen Yao But it’s going to set fire to smoke you rats out.”
Cai Wen's complexion changed when he heard this, he took a deep breath and said loudly, "Where is Li Huan?"
Chen Yao was stunned for a moment, and then said: "My lord is at the entrance of the secret passage, so you can't escape. If you don't come out again, I will really set it on fire!"
Cai Wen ignored Chen Yao at the exit, turned around and headed towards the entrance and said, "If you want to try it, keep going, if you don't want to, just follow me to meet Li Huan for a while."
Said Cai Wen with a bit of resignation: "I would like to know who leaked the secret of this secret way, causing my official success to fail!"
After hearing Cai Wen's words, Sun Wei couldn't help but change his face and said: "My lord, you must not, once you turn around, you will definitely die!"
Cai Wen said without turning his head: "Even if you don't look back, so what, can you still lead people out of the secret path?"
Sun Wei listened to Jin Yiwei's ridicule from the exit of the secret passage, looked at those dead men who knew they were going to die, and they were unwilling to go to the exit to die, smiled miserably, and bowed to Cai Wen: "My lord, The subordinates can no longer accompany you and advise you!"
While speaking, I saw Sun Wei's mouth forcefully, the poison sac in his mouth was bitten by him, and the poison quickly entered the abdomen, and the poison circulated all over the body. The severe pain made Sun Wei curl up, and he lost his breath after a while.
The rest of the dead soldiers stepped over Sun Wei's body indifferently, and followed Cai Wen.
In the courtyard near the gate of the city, Huang Wenzheng's face was quite ugly. No one knew Cai Wen's ruthlessness better than the officials who served under Cai Wen.
If Cai Wen is allowed to escape this time, Huang Wenzheng feels that with Cai Wen's nature, even greater troubles may lie ahead.Maybe he, the magistrate, may even become the target of Cai Wen's revenge.
Thinking of Cai Wen's methods, Huang Wenzheng couldn't help feeling frightened for a while, with a bit of panic showing on his face.
Li Huan looked at Huang Wenzheng in surprise and said, "Prefect Huang, what's wrong with you?"
Huang Wenzheng came back to his senses, smiled wryly at Li Huan and said, "I am worried that if Cai Wen really escapes, everyone will not have a peaceful life in the future."
Slightly stunned, Li Huan immediately reacted.
Thinking about it, Cai Wen can even do such crazy things as attacking and killing imperial envoys, so what else is he afraid to do.
The most important thing is that Cai Wen has been rooted in Fujian for more than ten years. He wants money and people, unless he is killed, otherwise as long as he runs away, with Cai Wen's nature, he will inevitably make trouble.
Thinking of this, Li Huan couldn't help rubbing his brows. If he really wanted to worry, he should be most worried about him, the one who has a sworn feud with Cai Wen.
After Cai Wen made a move, if he wanted to take revenge, Li Huan would definitely be the first to seek him out.
If Cai Wen's revenge came after him, Li Huan would not be afraid. Li Huan really didn't care about the assassination.
The key point is that he is not alone. Not to mention Li's huge family, even his mother Feng and grandmother Lin in Langqi Island can be said to be his bondage.
Just as he was thinking about it, there was a sudden exclamation from the bedroom behind him, followed by a Jin Yiwei shouting: "My lord, there seems to be someone in the secret passage."
Everyone was stunned when they heard this. At first they had no hope of being able to stop Cai Wen. Li Huan even thought about how to strengthen the defense of Langqi Island, and at the same time mobilized more forces from Jinyiwei from the capital to go all out Chase and kill Cai Wen and his minions.
"Look who it is!"
Li Huan and the others walked into the bedroom, their gazes naturally fell on the entrance of the secret passage, and several Jinyi guards beside them clenched the Xiuchun Knives in their hands, but they would pounce on them immediately if there was a slight change.
Through the long secret passage, with his eyesight beyond ordinary people, Li Huan vaguely saw a figure walking slowly.
When he was thinking about who the person might be, a voice suddenly came from the secret passage: "Where is Li Huan, my official Cai Wen, let Li Huan come to see me!"
Huang Wenzheng, who was standing next to Li Huan, heard Cai Wen's voice from the secret passage, and his face showed infinite surprise, and he couldn't help but exclaimed: "It's Cai Wen, it's really Cai Wen."
Under Huang Wenzheng's loss of composure, his voice was not low, and Cai Wen who was in the secret passage could hear it clearly.
Then I heard Cai Wen's voice coming from the secret passage: "So there is Huang Zhifu, isn't Huang Zhifu afraid that the imperial court will punish you for your crime?"
Huang Wenzheng immediately said: "Cai Wen, you are so bold that you dare to attack the imperial guard of honor. You want to seek death yourself, but you still want to drag everyone to be buried with you?"
Cai Wen laughed loudly and said: "It's just that God is not open to killing Li Huan. Otherwise, I would have lent you Huang Wenzheng's ten guts. Do you dare to talk to Cai like this?"
Huang Wenzheng immediately shut up, he really didn't dare to answer these words, because he knew that if it was true that Li Huan was harmed by Cai Wen as what Cai Wen said, he would really dare not show the slightest disrespect in front of Cai Wen.
At this moment, Li Huan looked at the secret road and said slowly: "Master Cai, we met again, but I never thought that we would meet again under such circumstances."
Cai Wen had already reached the exit of the secret passage at this time, and the jumping flames made Cai Wen's eyes a little unclear about Li Huan's figure.
After gradually getting used to the light outside the secret path, Cai Wen saw Li Huan, and saw Li Huan in a black robe, standing there looking at him calmly.
"Li Huan!"
Li Huan's name came out of his mouth, Cai Wen looked around, besides Li Huan and Huang Wenzheng, there were guards in Jinyi, the prefect's yamen and so on.
Cai Wen failed to find the person who might reveal the existence of the secret way, so he felt a little doubtful in his heart. He glanced at Li Huan and said with a little regret: "The old man has underestimated you. If I had known that you have such strength , the old man will bury tens of thousands of catties of gunpowder in the Green Bamboo Garden and send you on your way."
Huang Wenzheng couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth when he heard Cai Wen's words, he was startled by Cai Wen's cruelty and madness.
Even Li Huan couldn't help being afraid for a while. Seeing Cai Wen's solemn expression, it was obvious that this man was definitely not as simple as talking about it. If he was given another chance to talk, he would really bury tens of thousands of catties. gunpowder.
Letting out a breath, Li Huan looked at Cai Wen and said, "There is no medicine for regret in this world, Mr. Cai, you have no chance!"
To be honest, Li Huan admired Cai Wen's temperament, means and even courage, that is to say, his luck was against the heavens, otherwise, he really wouldn't be a match for the inspector.
After all, Li Huan has never experienced any cruel struggles in his past and present lives, and his mentality is far beyond that of his peers.
Didn't you see that even Wang Yangming admired Li Huan's ability?
It's just that compared to Cai Wen, an old fox with ups and downs in his official career, Li Huan lacks a bit of ruthlessness, a bit of tempering from the years.
With these thoughts flashing through his mind, Li Huan suddenly bowed his hands to Cai Wen.
Everyone was stunned by Li Huan's actions, and they couldn't figure out what Li Huan's sudden worship of Cai Wen meant.
Cai Wen also looked at Li Huan in surprise, and Li Huan said to Cai Wen with a serious expression at this moment: "Li Huan thanked Mr. Cai for teaching Li Huan this lesson today, and Li Huan will remember the lesson that Mr. Cai taught Li Huan. "
After hearing Li Huan's words, Cai Wen narrowed his eyes, stared at Li Huan, and suddenly burst out laughing.
"Interesting, really interesting, I didn't expect you and Cai to be the same kind of people!"
However, Li Huan slowly shook his head and said: "Master Cai is wrong. Li has his own bottom line and principles in his actions, unlike you who are lawless and have no scruples. You and I are not the same kind of people at all."
Cai Wen didn't take Li Huan's defense seriously at all, but looked at Li Huan with a smile on his face and said, "You are the one who really has nothing to worry about!"
Li Huan looked at Cai Wen and said, "Master Cai, do you have anything else to say? If not, just follow Li."
Cai Wen didn't move, he glanced at everyone and said, "Cai wants to know who told you about the existence of the Secret Way."
Everyone present could hear the hatred in Cai Wen's words.
Li Huan was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that Cai Wen obviously thought that someone close to him had betrayed him, otherwise there would never be such a strong hatred.
Huang Wenzheng obviously understood Cai Wen's thoughts, and couldn't help but said: "Master Cai, people are doing it, and the sky is watching, and they all say that the retribution is not good. Do you know that it was you who killed the white master who helped you build this secret road?" Because of this, Bai Tong, the son of Master Bai, endured the hatred of killing his father, and spent several years to confirm the existence of your secret path..."
Cai Wen was stunned. He boasted that he had calculated everything and was unparalleled in his calculations. Even when the secret way was exposed, he thought it was the people close to him who betrayed him, but he never thought that the secret way would be because they killed him. He lost a master and was targeted by a small person, so that he was on the verge of failure when he was about to escape from birth and return to the sea.
"Hahaha, it's ridiculous, it's really ridiculous, the old man has been calculating all his life, but he didn't expect to fall on an unknown junior!"
Li Huan looked at the mad-looking Cai Wen, waved his hand, and several Jin Yiwei stepped forward and tried to catch Cai Wen.
But at this moment, several figures shot out from the secret path, they were the dead men who followed Cai Wen.
Li Huan's expression remained unchanged as he watched the dead soldiers rushing toward him, and the next moment he heard the sound of bowstrings coming from a crossbow.
More than a dozen guards in Jin Yi held strong crossbows and shot without hesitation, and the few soldiers who rushed out were shot to death on the spot in the blink of an eye.
Some dead men even wiped Cai Wen's body and fell to the ground, with blood spilled all over Cai Wen's body, but Cai Wen was unmoved at all and laughed endlessly.
huh, huh
The arrows continued, and one after another figure rushed out, and was shot and killed on the spot. It was not until the corpses of more than a dozen dead soldiers fell beside Cai Wen that it was confirmed that no one rushed out in the secret passage.
Several Jin Yiwei immediately rushed into the secret passage with their crossbows in their hands, and at this moment Cai Wen also stopped laughing, his expression returned to calm, and he suddenly said: "If the old man guessed correctly, you will It's definitely not because of Han Ling's case, you must have bigger plans."
Li Huan just looked at Cai Wen, but Cai Wen didn't know what to think, suddenly opened his eyes wide, looked at Li Huan in disbelief, and then couldn't help but said: "Li Huan, you really dare to touch the interests of those people, You're dead, you're dead."
Li Huan couldn't help frowning. Only a few people knew the purpose of his visit, but looking at Cai Wen's reaction, he seemed to have guessed something.
"It's ridiculous!"
Li Huan sneered.
On the other hand, Cai Wen stared straight at Li Huan, with black blood flowing out of his mouth abruptly, under the astonished gazes of everyone, he fell down and fell limp among the corpses of many dead soldiers around him. Against the background of many dead men's corpses, he smiled at Li Huan, and a big mouthful of black blood gushed out.
"Li Huan... the old man is waiting for you under the Nine Springs..."
Cai Wen, who fell to the ground, lowered his head slightly, but there was a strange smile on the corner of his mouth, and he whispered in a voice that only he could hear: "Li Huan...do you really think you have won? It's just the beginning..."
Seeing this scene, many people present showed stunned expressions, obviously they did not expect Cai Wen to end his life in this way.
Huang Wenzheng was stunned, looking at Cai Wen's body, the conversation between Cai Wen and Li Huan before his death reverberated in his mind, rippling in his heart, he couldn't help looking at Li Huan.
