Chapter 154 Big brother save me! 【order】
The sound of gongs and the crackling of firecrackers seemed so eye-catching and piercing in the silent night, but the people who were closer to the city wall seemed to have gotten used to this.
In the past two days, they had heard such movements more than once, and they knew in their hearts that this must be someone trying to escape from the city, but they were discovered by the soldiers guarding the city.
From the beginning when I heard the sound of firecrackers, I was terrified, hiding at home and not daring to move, to slowly adapting to this change.
Some people even turned over immediately after hearing the sound of the firecracker, and it was time to sleep, without being affected by it at all.
A figure is walking through the night, wearing a green shirt, with a beard, and a good bearing, isn't it Yue Buqun who left during the day?
I don't know where Yue Buqun went before, his figure walked through the night at an extremely fast speed, and he was heading towards the secluded courtyard where they lived before.
All of a sudden, Yue Buqun stopped and looked towards the distant city wall.
The sound of the gong and the firecrackers was naturally heard by Yue Buqun. Hearing the sound of the firecrackers, Yue Buqun paused, looked towards the direction of the city wall, and muttered in his mouth softly: At this time, it is really courting death to climb over the city wall and leave."
Previously, Yue Buqun had personally seen someone trying to climb over the wall, but he was discovered and fell into the hands of the soldiers patrolling the city, not to mention his death.
Even Yue Buqun once hid in that place, and secretly watched a scene where city patrol soldiers besieged and killed a master of the rivers and lakes.
In Yue Buqun's opinion, that master of the rivers and lakes could barely enter the second-rate, but after he was discovered, he was beaten into a sieve by a rain of arrows and firecrackers.
That's why Yue Buqun heard the sound of firecrackers in the distance, shook his head slowly, muttered softly, then looked for the direction again, and left lightly.
To be honest, Yue Buqun was really worried about his eldest disciple. In addition, Linghu Chong was injured, so it was fine if nothing happened. If something happened, Yue Buqun really didn't know what would happen. what happen.
Faintly hearing the cheers of soldiers patrolling the city from a distance, Yue Buqun felt sorry for the murder of those unlucky escapees while he was on his way.
Outside the city wall, the flames were burning.It reflected Linghu Chong's body.
At this moment, several Jin Yiwei finally rushed over, and their eyes fell on Linghu Chong first. It has to be said that Linghu Chong looked very miserable, with arrows piercing his body, and suddenly he looked like a Hedgehogs in general.
There are also those blood holes the size of thumbs, with blood flowing, needless to say, they must have been punched out by firecrackers.
Ordinarily speaking, with Linghu Chong's strength, he shouldn't be besieged and killed by a group of soldiers so easily. It's a pity that he broke a leg because of Qian Li, and he was injured by Li Huan earlier, so he couldn't even use half of his strength. .
In addition, Qian Li, whom he desperately rescued, didn't care about him at all when he was running for his life. This made Linghu Chong suffer a great blow. Under various factors, Linghu Chong would not have died at the hands of these unknown people. Not only did he die, but he also died very miserably.
He just glanced at Linghu Chong lightly, and the little banner officer of Jin Yiwei's attention fell on Qian Li.
Like them, they were sent out to patrol the city. The total number of the four gates was actually only a few dozen people, in order to supervise the soldiers of the guards to guard the four gates, and at the same time prevent people from escaping from the city wall.
It's not just one or two people who were caught by them in the past two days. Don't look at the fact that Linghu Chong sneaked under the city wall with Qian Li and didn't disturb anyone, that's because Linghu Chong's cultivation is not weak.
If it were someone else, it might have been discovered long ago.
Even so, when they were discovered, the soldiers inside and outside the city walls heard the warning and reacted extremely quickly, hardly giving Linghu Chong and Qian Li a chance to react.
If it weren't for the fact that they were already familiar with the road and had enough experience, Linghu Chong and Qian Li might have escaped in the dark by the time these soldiers realized it.
Looking down at Qian Li, the Jinyiwei Xiaoqi officer said with a bit of surprise: "You are the missing fourth son of the Qian family, Qian Li?"
Qian Li breathed a sigh of relief, he was afraid that the other party had never heard of his name, otherwise the other party might just kill him directly, wouldn't that mean they would lose even a chance of survival.
As long as he can not die, he can always find a chance to live, can't he?
Looking at the little banner officer of Jinyiwei, Qian Li nodded repeatedly and said, "It's right here, it's right here, my lord, I want to report this person. He killed your Jinyiwei and hid the body."
He didn't take Linghu Chong seriously in the first place, after all, there were more than one person who was shot and killed in the past two days and tried to escape from the city, not one more Linghu Chong.
However, when he heard Qian Li's words, his complexion changed immediately, a sharp look flashed in his eyes, he stared fiercely at Qian Li and said, "What did you say?"
Qian Li was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "My lord, this man killed your Jin Yiwei. I saw it with my own eyes, and he has accomplices. I can take you to catch them..."
The little flag officer stared at Qian Li, making sure that Qian Li was not lying, and immediately said to a captain of Jin Yiwei: "You immediately restrain this man's body, and the others will follow me to arrest this man's accomplices." .”
A Jin Yiwei responded, and stepped forward to order people to start packing up Linghu Chong's body, while the rest of them directly took Qian Li, and then sat on the hanging baskets on the city wall, slowly climbed up the city wall, and entered the city.
After getting off the city wall, the Jinyiwei Xiaoqi officer gave Qian Li a push and said, "Lead the way ahead, if you can't catch that person's accomplices, you will die."
Qian Li was pushed to the ground immediately, which directly affected the injury caused by Yue Buqun. Qian Li lay on the ground and struggled for a long time before he staggered up.
Qian Lihe had been bullied like this before, and was about to yell at him instinctively, but when his eyes met the cold and ruthless gazes of several Jin Yiwei, he shuddered immediately, and hurriedly nodded: "Sirs, follow me!" Come."
After identifying the direction, Qian Li immediately led several Jinyi guards towards the secluded courtyard where he and Linghu Chong had stayed before.
Although it is very likely that he will die if he is arrested this time, but if it is not because of Yue Buqun, how could he fall into such a situation.
If it wasn't for Yue Buqun's insistence on killing him, wouldn't everything be fine if Yue Buqun and his disciples would take him with them when they left Fuzhou City.
However, Yue Buqun insisted on killing him, so he had to follow Linghu Chong to run for his life overnight, but Linghu Chong didn't live up to it, he broke his leg and it was fine, and he also fell into the hands of Jin Yiwei.
Since he can't survive, he will definitely not make Yue Buqun feel better.
Thinking of Yue Buqun, Qian Li gritted his teeth with hatred, he wanted to take people to arrest Yue Lingshan, father and daughter Yue Buqun, and let out a bad breath.
Thinking of this, Qian Li even moved a little faster.
It's just that compared to the time when Linghu Chong was carrying him all the way out of the city, Qian Li didn't feel the pain of the journey at all. It's just that this time he wasn't treated so well. Several Jin Yiwei followed him closely. After a while, Jin Yiwei directly swung the handle of the knife and slammed it on him fiercely.
Qian Li was physically and mentally exhausted, but he didn't dare to slow down, so he could only grit his teeth and hold on.
In an elegant and quiet courtyard
Li Huan walked into the huge living room, and there was silence in the living room.
In the living room, the wealthy businessmen and gentry from Fuzhou invited by Li Huan were discussing in low voices.
After all, they were suddenly brought here by Jin Yiwei, and their hearts were full of doubts and uneasiness. At first, they thought they were alone, but when they saw that other people were also invited, everyone felt a little relieved .
But because they don't know the purpose of Li Huan calling them here, these people are still very uneasy, they can only talk to the people they have made friends with in a low voice, it seems that this can relieve their uneasiness and anxiety.
Among them, Jiang Hong was quite an influential one among these wealthy businessmen. When they saw Jiang Hong, many people asked Jiang Hong for news, hoping to get some useful news from Jiang Hong.
Anyway, Jiang Hong's daughter is also the wife of Dong Huan, the commander of the guards. They know that it is Dong Huan's soldiers who assisted the imperial envoy Li Huan to seal the city gate, suppress the rebellion of more than a dozen families in the city, and even ransack their homes. .
I thought I could get some news from Jiang Hong, but unfortunately, Jiang Hong didn't know anything, just like them, he was panic-stricken.
When Li Huan walked in, everyone closed their mouths subconsciously, and got up to salute Li Huan with fear on their faces, for fear that Li Huan would stare at him because of his slow reaction.
It is said that the county magistrate who broke the family and the governor who destroyed the family are just sayings, but Li Huan really wants to do this.
According to the notice posted by Li Huan's people, there will be more than a dozen families in this city who will be wiped out tomorrow.
"Caomin wait to see you!"
Looking at the group of people prostrating to the ground, Li Huan glanced at them indifferently. He could see that these people were all dressed in simple, coarse linen clothes. A billionaire businessman.
It's just that if you observe carefully, you will find that the clothes on the outside of these people are coarse linen clothes, but in fact, the clothes next to the body are extraordinary.
After waving his hand, Li Huan said calmly, "Everyone get up."
Unable to tell what Li Huan's attitude was, everyone looked terrified and stood up slowly. No one dared to sit down before Li Huan spoke.
After glancing at everyone, Li Huan said, "Today, I took the liberty to invite you here, but I surprised everyone!"
The crowd did not dare.
After waving his hands, Li Huan smiled slightly and said, "Li is not a man-eating tiger either. You don't have to be so cautious, just sit down and talk."
When everyone heard this, they thought in their hearts: You are not a man-eating tiger, but you are more frightening than a man-eating tiger. Who can stand to steal your family and destroy your family at every turn.
Although they thought so in their hearts, everyone sat down obediently to Li Huan's order, and looked at Li Huan respectfully.
Li Huan put down the teacup slowly, glanced at the crowd and said: "I think everyone must be very curious, why did I order you here this time?"
Everyone, look at me and I look at you. In the end, Jiang Hong stood up and shot against the eyes of everyone, and said to Li Huan: "Caomin Jiang Hong, I have seen the imperial envoy, I don't know what the imperial envoy has ordered, whether it is donation Donate money or donate food, as long as the adults say something, the grassroots and others will never be vague."
When Jiang Hong opened his mouth, the others nodded quickly and said, "Yes, yes, as long as your lord orders, I will definitely do it!"
In the eyes of these people, Li Huan summoned them here just to collect some money from them. Who made them rich.
These people have always been the targets of raids by officials, Li Huan summoned them, what else could they do except for their money.
It can be said that when they came, they were already mentally prepared. As long as Li Huan didn't want their lives, no matter how harsh Li Huan's request was, they would grit their teeth and agree. After all, life is the most important thing, isn't it?Didn't you see that the Gu family, the Cai family, the He family, and the Qian family who wanted the wind to win the wind and the rain to win the rain in Fuzhou City in the past were knocked into the dust overnight in front of Li Huan?
Li Huan couldn't help laughing when he heard the words, the reactions of these people were not beyond his expectation, if they didn't even have this kind of awareness, then these people wouldn't be able to live till now.
If it were other officials, they might really have come here for their wealth, but Li Huan really wasn't.
Under the gaze of the crowd, Li Huan slowly shook his head and said: "I'm afraid you may have misunderstood what I mean. I didn't call you here to ask you to donate money and food!"
"what!"
Jiang Hong and the others suddenly exclaimed and were a little stunned, and looked at Li Huan in confusion. Li Huan summoned them not for their money, so why? Could it be that he really wanted to treat them as they had guessed? Is it disadvantageous?
Thinking of this, many people's complexions turned pale, and even cold sweat broke out on their foreheads.
Jiang Hong was also very nervous in his heart, and tremblingly said: "Please tell me clearly, my lord."
Li Huan glanced at Jiang Hong and said, "You are Jiang Hong, the Fuzhou gentry that Commander Dong mentioned."
Jiang Hong hurriedly said in his heart: "It's just a grassroots!"
Li Huan coughed lightly and said: "I think you all know that these two Japanese officials ordered people to confiscate the properties of the Gu family, the Qian family, the Cai family, the He family, etc., and obtained a large amount of gold and silver property."
Everyone was silent, not understanding what Li Huan meant when he told them.
Li Huan continued: "Among these properties, gold, silver and jewelry are fine. I will order people to seal them up and transport them to the capital to present to the emperor. But among these confiscated properties, apart from gold and silver, there is still land. Fields, shops, mansions and even servant girls and the like.”
Jiang Hong's eyes lit up, he suddenly raised his head to look at Li Huan and said, "Master Imperial Envoy means that we want us to take over these things."
Li Huan nodded slightly and said: "That's right, these things are all dead things. I can't present a pile of land deeds to the emperor, so I thought of you."
Li Huan has already said this, as long as he is not a fool, he can actually understand Li Huan's intentions. Obviously Li Huan wants them to take over these things that cannot be taken away.
Of course, Li Huan would not be so kind to give them these things for free, he must want them to pay for them to buy them.
While speaking, Li Huan glanced over the crowd, seeing that they understood what he meant, he clapped his hands.
Soon, Chen Yao came in with a few Jin Yiwei carrying a few boxes.
When everyone saw it, they naturally looked at the wooden box brought in by Jin Yiwei, guessing what was in the wooden box.
"Open!"
Li Huan gave the order, and saw the box opened by several Jin Yiwei, and immediately saw a pile of land deeds, land deeds, etc. appearing in their sight.
Seeing these things, everyone's eyes lit up instantly. As businessmen, what they like most are the land deeds and house deeds of fields and shops.
Don't doubt anyone's desire for land, it is absolutely endless, but whenever possible, they will definitely take out the hidden gold and silver and exchange it for good land that can be passed on to future generations.
Seeing everyone's expressions in his eyes, Li Huan smiled slightly and said, "There are hundreds of thousands of mu of fertile land, hundreds of shops, hundreds of properties, and even hundreds of ships, large and small, that can be used at any time."
Li Huan said with a smile: "It depends on whether you are interested."
Taking a deep breath, Jiang Hong cheered up. He seemed to have forgotten Li Huan's identity as an imperial envoy. Instead of being nervous at all, he looked at Li Huan and said, "My lord, you are sure about these things. As long as we are willing to bid, you will pay for them." Sell it to us?"
Li Huan laughed loudly and said: "If it weren't for that, why should I invite you here? You don't think that I am idle and have nothing to do to make you happy."
Jiang Hong and the others didn't dare to say anything when they heard the words, but their eyes were shining brightly as they looked at the piles of land deeds and house deeds in the box.
Winking at Chen Yao, Chen Yaodang stepped forward, stood in the middle of the hall, looked at the crowd and said, "Everyone, according to the intention of the imperial envoy, the things are here, and everyone can bid for them later, as long as you If you can get gold and silver, these things will belong to you."
As he said that, Chen Yao directly took out a stack of land deeds and said loudly in the eyes of everyone: "This is a land deed for [-] mu of high-quality paddy fields, and the one with the highest price will get it!"
Everyone's eyes lit up, [-] mu of high-quality paddy fields, this is a good thing, many of them have worked hard for half their lives, relying on a little bit of savings, it is quite good to be able to own such a thousand mu of fertile land.
After all, these high-quality assets have always been in the hands of those officials and families. These people have power and money, but whenever there is an opportunity, such high-quality assets will only fall into the hands of these people. Compared with wealthy businessmen who only have money but no power, they naturally have a huge advantage.
[-] mu of high-quality paddy fields, if you miss this opportunity, you will never meet again in your lifetime.
Seeing a wealthy businessman stand up suddenly, he couldn't help shouting loudly: "I will pay 5 taels of silver!"
Everyone couldn't help being startled when they heard the words, 5 mu of land, [-] taels of silver, this price is not low, you must know that the average field is only about two or three taels.
Of course, considering that there are many mountains and few fields in Fujian, and there are high-quality paddy fields, five taels of silver per mu of land really cannot be said to be high.
Sure enough, someone immediately looked at the man with disdain and said, "Brother Chen, if you don't have money, don't bid indiscriminately. If you want to win these high-quality paddy fields, then show some sincerity."
As he spoke, he cupped his hands at Chen Yao and said, "My lord, I would like to give you 8 taels of silver!"
As soon as this person said, there were still people who were eager to try it, but [-]% of them immediately became dumb. The price is really a bit high, and this is just the beginning. There will definitely be more high-quality assets waiting for them in the future. .
Chen Yao glanced at everyone and said, "Everyone, is there anyone who has bid? If not, then the [-] mu of paddy fields will belong to this gentleman. As long as you pay the money, you can go to the government office to go through the formalities at any time."
After more than a dozen breaths, no one spoke again, Chen Yaodang immediately said: "Okay, sir, I have written it down for you here, you just need to send someone to pay the money."
Next, Li Huan sat there leisurely, watching these gentry from the wealthy side compete to bid for a piece of land or a good shop.
After doing the math, after disposing of those land properties and shops, there was another 200 million taels of silver. This made Li Huan sigh with emotion that it was really fast enough to raid the family and exterminate the family.
Li Huan's side was extremely lively, and a lot of money came in, but Qian Li was out of breath, his chest seemed to be about to burst, but he didn't dare to stop.
Finally seeing the familiar alley, Qian Li couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, his body softened and he finally couldn't hold on and fell to the ground.
Seeing Qian Li lying on the ground, one of the Jinyi guards directly swung the scabbard at Qian Li's body, and only let out a muffled grunt as he drew Qian Li.
"who!"
The noise here was not small at all, and it immediately alarmed the Jin Yiwei who had already searched nearby.
Several guards in Jinyi rushed over immediately, and even drew their knives out of their sheaths, ready to strike at any time, but when they saw the person opposite, both sides breathed a sigh of relief seeing that it was their own.
The little banner officer glanced at the Jinyi guards on the opposite side and said in surprise: "You guys are..."
Among Jinyiwei on the opposite side, a captain of Jinyiwei hurriedly said: "My lord, we have two brothers, Cai Chao and Zheng Kui chased and killed the rebels yesterday, and there is no news so far. Find people. So our brothers are searching now..."
The little flag officer was taken aback for a moment, and his eyes fell on Qian Li who was lying on the ground. He remembered that Qian Li said earlier that the people in the Jianghu called Linghu Chong killed their people. Could it be that...
Thinking of this, the little flag officer immediately pointed to Qian Li on the ground and said, "This is the fourth son of the Qian family, Qian Li. Not long ago, he and other people from the same river and lake tried to escape from Fuzhou City by climbing over the city wall, but they were given to him by the brothers." I noticed that the man in the Jianghu was shot dead on the spot, and Qian Li said that the man in the Jianghu killed our two brothers, so could it be that he killed brothers Cai Chao and Zheng Kui?"
The captain of Jinyiwei couldn't help looking at Qian Li when he heard the words. At this time, Qian Li was lying on the ground, panting heavily, as if he felt the eyes of all the Jinyiweis: "I don't know the two Jinyiweis who were killed What are their names, but their bodies are in the yard in front of them, you can go and identify them, and you will know at a glance if they are the people you are looking for."
In fact, if Qian Li was supported, the Jin Yiwei had more or less confirmed in their minds that Cai Chao and Zheng Kui they were looking for should have been killed here.
Because apart from the two, no one else was missing.
The captain of Jinyiwei, who had been searching for most of the night, suddenly stepped forward, picked up Qian Li, and growled fiercely, "Tell me, where are the bodies of Cai Chao and Zheng Kui?"
Coughing violently, Qian Li's face turned red and he was almost strangled to death. He tried his best to point to the courtyard in front of him, and said intermittently: "There...is that courtyard..."
Looking at the courtyard Qian Li was pointing at, the guards in Jinyi glanced at each other. Dang even drew his sword out of its sheath, slammed open the gate, and rushed into the courtyard.
But it was quiet in the courtyard, and there was no movement, as if the Tongdang that Qian Li said did not exist.
At this moment, Qian Li was also escorted into the courtyard by a Jinyi guard. The little flag officer stared at Qian Li coldly with a knife in his hand and said, "Where are you talking about Linghu Chong's party? And Cai Where are the bodies of Chao and Zheng Kui hidden?"
Qian Li pointed to the huge wine vat in the corner not far away and said, "I saw Linghu Chong hid his body in that wine vat. As for Linghu Chong's accomplices, his master Yue Buqun seemed to have gone out, and his younger junior sister It should still be here..."
Qian Li also felt very strange, so many of them broke in, and there was such a big commotion, if Yue Lingshan was still there, she must have noticed it, why there was no reaction for a long time.
Could it be that the other party had already sensed something was wrong and left first?
The little flag officer immediately waved his hand and said to the others: "You guys search the room to see if anyone is there, be careful, these are people from the Jianghu, if you see each other, just shoot with a strong crossbow , don’t give him a chance to make a move.”
He said to the remaining few people: "Let's go and see if it is the bodies of the two brothers Cai Chao and Zheng Kui."
A few people put the Xiuchun knife back into its sheath, held the bowstring crossbow in both hands, and approached the row of rooms cautiously, while Xiao Banner and the others strode towards the row of wine vats.
The lids were lifted one by one, no, no, just when they thought Qian Li was lying, one lid was lifted, and two corpses dressed in brocade sweaters appeared in their sight.
I saw two corpses curled up in the wine vat, and the situation in the wine vat could be seen vaguely by the light of the torch.
Someone recognized the identities of the two at a glance, and exclaimed: "It is the two brothers Zheng Kui and Cai Chao. They really were murdered!"
The ugly-looking little flag officer stepped forward, looked at the situation in the wine tank, suppressed the anger in his heart, and slowly reached out to take out the bodies of the two.
When touching the bodies of the two, it was obvious that the bodies of the two were cold and stiff, and it was obvious that they had been dead for a long time.
Looking at the corpse that was taken out, the officer Xiaoqi took a deep breath and said, "Search!"
Since Qian Li said that Linghu Chong still had companions, they had to find him out. Even though Linghu Chong, who directly killed Cai Chao and Zheng Kui, was dead, it didn't mean that his companions could get away with it.
However, those Jin Yiwei who carried a strong crossbow and searched house by house, when they kicked open a room and entered it, their sharp eyes scanned the whole house, and they were instantly attracted by a figure lying on the bed.
Immediately, a powerful crossbow turned and aimed at the figure on the bed, and at the same time one of them shouted: "Bold thief, you can't escape, you can catch it if you don't let go, otherwise don't blame us for being rude."
Hearing the commotion here, a few Jinyi guards outside also ran over with Xiuchun knife in their hands, and the leader of the small banner officer shouted: "Where are you?"
Several Jinyi guards who were on guard moved out of the way, gestured towards the bed and said, "My lord, look, the other party doesn't seem to respond, he must be dead!"
Officer Xiaoqi frowned, took a deep breath, clenched the Xiuchun Knife, and slowly stepped forward, while the rest of the Jinyiwei had nervous expressions on their faces, ready to strike at any time.
Walking closer, with the help of the firelight, it was clear that the girl lying on the bed turned out to be a beautiful and refined girl, and the girl seemed to be in a coma.
Wei Wei breathed a sigh of relief, but still didn't dare to let go of his vigilance, approached slowly, sized him up, and then shouted: "Get the shackles!"
Soon a pair of shackles made of refined iron was put on Yue Lingshan who was in a coma, her hands and feet were bound by chains, and the little flag officer suddenly pointed out.
With a muffled snort, Yue Lingshan, who hadn't made any movement before, woke up faintly. Her consciousness was obviously still at the moment before being hit by Linghu Chong at the Sleeping Point. When she woke up, she subconsciously said, "Brother, you lied to me again..."
A crisp and pleasant voice sounded in the dark room. At this moment, Yue Lingshan opened her eyes, feeling something was wrong, her hands and feet seemed to be bound.
Before she could react, Yue Lingshan subconsciously thought that Linghu Chong was playing tricks on her and said, "Eldest brother, you're playing tricks again..."
But soon Yue Lingshan could see the situation in the room clearly. When she opened her eyes, she saw more than a dozen figures either carrying embroidered spring knives or crossbows surrounding them in the middle.
"Ah, you...you..."
A scream came out, which was extremely ear-piercing in the middle of the night.
In the darkness, Yue Buqun was rushing towards the small courtyard at an extremely fast speed, his face was full of seriousness.
It's no wonder that Yue Buqun's expression was wrong, but when Yue Buqun was approaching the area of the small courtyard, he unexpectedly encountered two groups of Jinyiwei.
With Yue Buqun's experience, it was natural to see what these Jin Yiwei were searching for, which made Yue Buqun feel bad.
So Yue Buqun hid in the dark and eavesdropped on the conversation of these Jin Yiwei, and Dang even understood that these Jin Yiwei were looking for two missing companions.
Yue Buqun was not a fool, he immediately thought of the two Jin Yiwei who were killed by his disciple Linghu Chong not long ago.
If there were no accidents, these Jin Yiwei should be looking for those two people.
Yue Buqun was in a hurry at the time, just looking at the search range of these Jin Yiwei, he knew that the other party probably had already locked this area, that is to say, it would not be long before they found their place to stay.
The residence is no longer safe, and they must leave immediately, otherwise, once Jin Yiwei's body is found, they will be charged with killing Jin Yiwei.
To put it mildly, it is also a crime of homicide, and to put it too big, they can even be charged with killing officials and rebelling.
"This scoundrel, this time he returned to Mount Hua, he must have been thinking about the cliff for a year!"
Yue Buqun was so angry, if he hadn't discovered these Jinyiwei, Huashan might really be charged with killing officials and rebelling.
At the same time, Yue Buqun secretly rejoiced that he still had a chance, as long as he rushed back to the small courtyard ahead of these Jin Yiwei, killed Qian Li, and then took Linghu Chong and Yue Lingshan with him and left quietly. He knew that the death of the two Jinyiwei was related to Huashan.
Thinking about this, Yue Buqun immediately took advantage of the darkness to avoid those Jinyiwei people and rushed towards the small courtyard.
With Yue Buqun's footsteps, he arrived near the small courtyard within a short time.
But when Yue Buqun appeared outside the small courtyard, his footsteps stopped suddenly, his complexion became gloomy, the courtyard door was wide open, and there were flames dancing in the courtyard, it was clear that a group of people were holding torches inside.
What does this mean, Yue Buqun couldn't think of it, resisting the urge in his heart to rush in, Yue Buqun quietly looked into the yard.
He saw a familiar figure sitting on the ground in the courtyard, it was either Qian Li or someone else, and beside Qian Li were two guards in brocade clothes, besides that, the room was full of fire.
"Chong'er, Lingshan!"
When he saw these Jin Yiwei, Yue Buqun had a bad feeling in his heart, but he didn't see Linghu Chong and Yue Lingshan, which made Yue Buqun feel hopeful.
At this moment, Yue Buqun's familiar scream came from the room. It was not his precious daughter, but who was Yue Lingshan?
A stern look flashed across Yue Buqun's eyes, and just as he was about to rush into the yard to save people, Qian Li, who was originally in the yard, suddenly laughed and said, "Hahaha, Yue Buqun, Yue Buqun, let me You want to kill me. Now your big disciple Linghu Chong has been shot into a hedgehog, and even your daughter has fallen into the hands of Jin Yiwei. I want you Huashan faction to bear the name of killing officials and rebelling. When the time comes, Huashan will be destroyed. No chicken or dog left behind..."
Killing officials and rebelling, Huashan was destroyed, these words exploded in Yue Buqun's ears like thunder, Yue Buqun seemed to have fallen into an ice cave in the cold winter of March, his whole body was icy cold, with his cultivation His body couldn't help trembling slightly, and cold sweat oozed from his forehead.
The body that was about to rush out stopped abruptly, and almost bumped his head against the wall, only to see that Yue Buqun's eyes were full of struggle.
Qian Li's crazy words echoed in his mind.
"Chong'er died? Why did it happen, how did it happen!"
In the room, Yue Lingshan, who saw a group of Jinyi guards staring at her as soon as she opened her eyes, screamed in fright, but soon she also saw the shackles on her body, couldn't help but panic, and subconsciously called out: Brother, senior brother, save me!"
Seeing Yue Lingshan's reaction, several guards in Jin Yi breathed a sigh of relief. Just looking at Yue Lingshan's reaction, they knew that Yue Lingshan must be a young child with little experience in the world. Such a person was no threat at all.
The little banner officer of Jin Yiwei immediately shouted: "Stop shouting, if your elder brother is Linghu Chong, then he won't come to rescue you."
Yue Lingshan looked at the little banner officer foolishly.
Before the little flag officer could speak, Qian Li's loud laughter came from the outside yard.
Yue Lingshan was just a bit more innocent, but she wasn't stupid. When she heard Qian Li curse her elder brother to die and Huashan to rebel, she couldn't help but said in fear: "No, the elder brother is not dead, and our Huashan sect is not dead." No rebellion!"
No matter how simple Yue Lingshan was, she knew what rebellion meant. Their Huashan faction could not bear such a big crime. At the same time, she couldn't believe Qian Li's words, and even looked at the Jinyi guards opposite with a begging look. .
Seeing Yue Lingshan's frightened gaze, the little banner official of Jinyiwei snorted coldly and said, "If your senior brother is Linghu Chong, then don't expect him to rescue you. Li was shot dead on the spot as he fled the city."
"What, big brother...it's impossible..."
Yue Lingshan seemed to be struck by lightning, her face showed horror and disbelief, but the tears in her eyes rolled down her smooth and tender cheeks like broken beads.
Taking a casual look at Yue Lingshan, the Jinyiwei Xiaoqi officer waved his hand and said, "Take the criminal Huashan sent Yue Lingshan away!"
From Qian Li's mouth, he already knew the identities of Yue Buqun and Yue Lingshan who were with Linghu Chong, and Yue Lingshan's reaction after hearing Linghu Chong's death, so he could confirm Yue Lingshan's identity without thinking.
Yue Lingshan was obviously shocked by the news of Linghu Chong's death. She was dumbfounded, and was pushed out of the room by the two Jin Yiwei.
Under the light of a ball of fire, Qian Li couldn't help laughing when he saw Yue Lingshan who was put in shackles: "Haha, Miss Yue, isn't it strange why your senior brother died? And why are these Jinyiwei?" Can you find it here?"
A sea of hatred flashed across Yue Lingshan's eyes, she fixed her eyes on Qian Li and said, "Senior brother has saved your life, but you actually repaid your kindness and even killed senior brother."
Qian Li was furious when he heard this, and said, "It's your fault, that old bastard Yue Buqun. If he hadn't insisted on killing me, why would I have told that idiot Linghu Chong to take such a big risk to leave the city? , if it weren't for Linghu Chong's poor strength, how could I have been caught, since I will die, then none of you should think about it, hahaha..."
Yue Lingshan opened her eyes wide, looked at the crazy Qian Li in disbelief, trembling all over with anger, her pretty face turned pale, and said after a long time: "You...you are a beast!"

(End of this chapter)
The sound of gongs and the crackling of firecrackers seemed so eye-catching and piercing in the silent night, but the people who were closer to the city wall seemed to have gotten used to this.
In the past two days, they had heard such movements more than once, and they knew in their hearts that this must be someone trying to escape from the city, but they were discovered by the soldiers guarding the city.
From the beginning when I heard the sound of firecrackers, I was terrified, hiding at home and not daring to move, to slowly adapting to this change.
Some people even turned over immediately after hearing the sound of the firecracker, and it was time to sleep, without being affected by it at all.
A figure is walking through the night, wearing a green shirt, with a beard, and a good bearing, isn't it Yue Buqun who left during the day?
I don't know where Yue Buqun went before, his figure walked through the night at an extremely fast speed, and he was heading towards the secluded courtyard where they lived before.
All of a sudden, Yue Buqun stopped and looked towards the distant city wall.
The sound of the gong and the firecrackers was naturally heard by Yue Buqun. Hearing the sound of the firecrackers, Yue Buqun paused, looked towards the direction of the city wall, and muttered in his mouth softly: At this time, it is really courting death to climb over the city wall and leave."
Previously, Yue Buqun had personally seen someone trying to climb over the wall, but he was discovered and fell into the hands of the soldiers patrolling the city, not to mention his death.
Even Yue Buqun once hid in that place, and secretly watched a scene where city patrol soldiers besieged and killed a master of the rivers and lakes.
In Yue Buqun's opinion, that master of the rivers and lakes could barely enter the second-rate, but after he was discovered, he was beaten into a sieve by a rain of arrows and firecrackers.
That's why Yue Buqun heard the sound of firecrackers in the distance, shook his head slowly, muttered softly, then looked for the direction again, and left lightly.
To be honest, Yue Buqun was really worried about his eldest disciple. In addition, Linghu Chong was injured, so it was fine if nothing happened. If something happened, Yue Buqun really didn't know what would happen. what happen.
Faintly hearing the cheers of soldiers patrolling the city from a distance, Yue Buqun felt sorry for the murder of those unlucky escapees while he was on his way.
Outside the city wall, the flames were burning.It reflected Linghu Chong's body.
At this moment, several Jin Yiwei finally rushed over, and their eyes fell on Linghu Chong first. It has to be said that Linghu Chong looked very miserable, with arrows piercing his body, and suddenly he looked like a Hedgehogs in general.
There are also those blood holes the size of thumbs, with blood flowing, needless to say, they must have been punched out by firecrackers.
Ordinarily speaking, with Linghu Chong's strength, he shouldn't be besieged and killed by a group of soldiers so easily. It's a pity that he broke a leg because of Qian Li, and he was injured by Li Huan earlier, so he couldn't even use half of his strength. .
In addition, Qian Li, whom he desperately rescued, didn't care about him at all when he was running for his life. This made Linghu Chong suffer a great blow. Under various factors, Linghu Chong would not have died at the hands of these unknown people. Not only did he die, but he also died very miserably.
He just glanced at Linghu Chong lightly, and the little banner officer of Jin Yiwei's attention fell on Qian Li.
Like them, they were sent out to patrol the city. The total number of the four gates was actually only a few dozen people, in order to supervise the soldiers of the guards to guard the four gates, and at the same time prevent people from escaping from the city wall.
It's not just one or two people who were caught by them in the past two days. Don't look at the fact that Linghu Chong sneaked under the city wall with Qian Li and didn't disturb anyone, that's because Linghu Chong's cultivation is not weak.
If it were someone else, it might have been discovered long ago.
Even so, when they were discovered, the soldiers inside and outside the city walls heard the warning and reacted extremely quickly, hardly giving Linghu Chong and Qian Li a chance to react.
If it weren't for the fact that they were already familiar with the road and had enough experience, Linghu Chong and Qian Li might have escaped in the dark by the time these soldiers realized it.
Looking down at Qian Li, the Jinyiwei Xiaoqi officer said with a bit of surprise: "You are the missing fourth son of the Qian family, Qian Li?"
Qian Li breathed a sigh of relief, he was afraid that the other party had never heard of his name, otherwise the other party might just kill him directly, wouldn't that mean they would lose even a chance of survival.
As long as he can not die, he can always find a chance to live, can't he?
Looking at the little banner officer of Jinyiwei, Qian Li nodded repeatedly and said, "It's right here, it's right here, my lord, I want to report this person. He killed your Jinyiwei and hid the body."
He didn't take Linghu Chong seriously in the first place, after all, there were more than one person who was shot and killed in the past two days and tried to escape from the city, not one more Linghu Chong.
However, when he heard Qian Li's words, his complexion changed immediately, a sharp look flashed in his eyes, he stared fiercely at Qian Li and said, "What did you say?"
Qian Li was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "My lord, this man killed your Jin Yiwei. I saw it with my own eyes, and he has accomplices. I can take you to catch them..."
The little flag officer stared at Qian Li, making sure that Qian Li was not lying, and immediately said to a captain of Jin Yiwei: "You immediately restrain this man's body, and the others will follow me to arrest this man's accomplices." .”
A Jin Yiwei responded, and stepped forward to order people to start packing up Linghu Chong's body, while the rest of them directly took Qian Li, and then sat on the hanging baskets on the city wall, slowly climbed up the city wall, and entered the city.
After getting off the city wall, the Jinyiwei Xiaoqi officer gave Qian Li a push and said, "Lead the way ahead, if you can't catch that person's accomplices, you will die."
Qian Li was pushed to the ground immediately, which directly affected the injury caused by Yue Buqun. Qian Li lay on the ground and struggled for a long time before he staggered up.
Qian Lihe had been bullied like this before, and was about to yell at him instinctively, but when his eyes met the cold and ruthless gazes of several Jin Yiwei, he shuddered immediately, and hurriedly nodded: "Sirs, follow me!" Come."
After identifying the direction, Qian Li immediately led several Jinyi guards towards the secluded courtyard where he and Linghu Chong had stayed before.
Although it is very likely that he will die if he is arrested this time, but if it is not because of Yue Buqun, how could he fall into such a situation.
If it wasn't for Yue Buqun's insistence on killing him, wouldn't everything be fine if Yue Buqun and his disciples would take him with them when they left Fuzhou City.
However, Yue Buqun insisted on killing him, so he had to follow Linghu Chong to run for his life overnight, but Linghu Chong didn't live up to it, he broke his leg and it was fine, and he also fell into the hands of Jin Yiwei.
Since he can't survive, he will definitely not make Yue Buqun feel better.
Thinking of Yue Buqun, Qian Li gritted his teeth with hatred, he wanted to take people to arrest Yue Lingshan, father and daughter Yue Buqun, and let out a bad breath.
Thinking of this, Qian Li even moved a little faster.
It's just that compared to the time when Linghu Chong was carrying him all the way out of the city, Qian Li didn't feel the pain of the journey at all. It's just that this time he wasn't treated so well. Several Jin Yiwei followed him closely. After a while, Jin Yiwei directly swung the handle of the knife and slammed it on him fiercely.
Qian Li was physically and mentally exhausted, but he didn't dare to slow down, so he could only grit his teeth and hold on.
In an elegant and quiet courtyard
Li Huan walked into the huge living room, and there was silence in the living room.
In the living room, the wealthy businessmen and gentry from Fuzhou invited by Li Huan were discussing in low voices.
After all, they were suddenly brought here by Jin Yiwei, and their hearts were full of doubts and uneasiness. At first, they thought they were alone, but when they saw that other people were also invited, everyone felt a little relieved .
But because they don't know the purpose of Li Huan calling them here, these people are still very uneasy, they can only talk to the people they have made friends with in a low voice, it seems that this can relieve their uneasiness and anxiety.
Among them, Jiang Hong was quite an influential one among these wealthy businessmen. When they saw Jiang Hong, many people asked Jiang Hong for news, hoping to get some useful news from Jiang Hong.
Anyway, Jiang Hong's daughter is also the wife of Dong Huan, the commander of the guards. They know that it is Dong Huan's soldiers who assisted the imperial envoy Li Huan to seal the city gate, suppress the rebellion of more than a dozen families in the city, and even ransack their homes. .
I thought I could get some news from Jiang Hong, but unfortunately, Jiang Hong didn't know anything, just like them, he was panic-stricken.
When Li Huan walked in, everyone closed their mouths subconsciously, and got up to salute Li Huan with fear on their faces, for fear that Li Huan would stare at him because of his slow reaction.
It is said that the county magistrate who broke the family and the governor who destroyed the family are just sayings, but Li Huan really wants to do this.
According to the notice posted by Li Huan's people, there will be more than a dozen families in this city who will be wiped out tomorrow.
"Caomin wait to see you!"
Looking at the group of people prostrating to the ground, Li Huan glanced at them indifferently. He could see that these people were all dressed in simple, coarse linen clothes. A billionaire businessman.
It's just that if you observe carefully, you will find that the clothes on the outside of these people are coarse linen clothes, but in fact, the clothes next to the body are extraordinary.
After waving his hand, Li Huan said calmly, "Everyone get up."
Unable to tell what Li Huan's attitude was, everyone looked terrified and stood up slowly. No one dared to sit down before Li Huan spoke.
After glancing at everyone, Li Huan said, "Today, I took the liberty to invite you here, but I surprised everyone!"
The crowd did not dare.
After waving his hands, Li Huan smiled slightly and said, "Li is not a man-eating tiger either. You don't have to be so cautious, just sit down and talk."
When everyone heard this, they thought in their hearts: You are not a man-eating tiger, but you are more frightening than a man-eating tiger. Who can stand to steal your family and destroy your family at every turn.
Although they thought so in their hearts, everyone sat down obediently to Li Huan's order, and looked at Li Huan respectfully.
Li Huan put down the teacup slowly, glanced at the crowd and said: "I think everyone must be very curious, why did I order you here this time?"
Everyone, look at me and I look at you. In the end, Jiang Hong stood up and shot against the eyes of everyone, and said to Li Huan: "Caomin Jiang Hong, I have seen the imperial envoy, I don't know what the imperial envoy has ordered, whether it is donation Donate money or donate food, as long as the adults say something, the grassroots and others will never be vague."
When Jiang Hong opened his mouth, the others nodded quickly and said, "Yes, yes, as long as your lord orders, I will definitely do it!"
In the eyes of these people, Li Huan summoned them here just to collect some money from them. Who made them rich.
These people have always been the targets of raids by officials, Li Huan summoned them, what else could they do except for their money.
It can be said that when they came, they were already mentally prepared. As long as Li Huan didn't want their lives, no matter how harsh Li Huan's request was, they would grit their teeth and agree. After all, life is the most important thing, isn't it?Didn't you see that the Gu family, the Cai family, the He family, and the Qian family who wanted the wind to win the wind and the rain to win the rain in Fuzhou City in the past were knocked into the dust overnight in front of Li Huan?
Li Huan couldn't help laughing when he heard the words, the reactions of these people were not beyond his expectation, if they didn't even have this kind of awareness, then these people wouldn't be able to live till now.
If it were other officials, they might really have come here for their wealth, but Li Huan really wasn't.
Under the gaze of the crowd, Li Huan slowly shook his head and said: "I'm afraid you may have misunderstood what I mean. I didn't call you here to ask you to donate money and food!"
"what!"
Jiang Hong and the others suddenly exclaimed and were a little stunned, and looked at Li Huan in confusion. Li Huan summoned them not for their money, so why? Could it be that he really wanted to treat them as they had guessed? Is it disadvantageous?
Thinking of this, many people's complexions turned pale, and even cold sweat broke out on their foreheads.
Jiang Hong was also very nervous in his heart, and tremblingly said: "Please tell me clearly, my lord."
Li Huan glanced at Jiang Hong and said, "You are Jiang Hong, the Fuzhou gentry that Commander Dong mentioned."
Jiang Hong hurriedly said in his heart: "It's just a grassroots!"
Li Huan coughed lightly and said: "I think you all know that these two Japanese officials ordered people to confiscate the properties of the Gu family, the Qian family, the Cai family, the He family, etc., and obtained a large amount of gold and silver property."
Everyone was silent, not understanding what Li Huan meant when he told them.
Li Huan continued: "Among these properties, gold, silver and jewelry are fine. I will order people to seal them up and transport them to the capital to present to the emperor. But among these confiscated properties, apart from gold and silver, there is still land. Fields, shops, mansions and even servant girls and the like.”
Jiang Hong's eyes lit up, he suddenly raised his head to look at Li Huan and said, "Master Imperial Envoy means that we want us to take over these things."
Li Huan nodded slightly and said: "That's right, these things are all dead things. I can't present a pile of land deeds to the emperor, so I thought of you."
Li Huan has already said this, as long as he is not a fool, he can actually understand Li Huan's intentions. Obviously Li Huan wants them to take over these things that cannot be taken away.
Of course, Li Huan would not be so kind to give them these things for free, he must want them to pay for them to buy them.
While speaking, Li Huan glanced over the crowd, seeing that they understood what he meant, he clapped his hands.
Soon, Chen Yao came in with a few Jin Yiwei carrying a few boxes.
When everyone saw it, they naturally looked at the wooden box brought in by Jin Yiwei, guessing what was in the wooden box.
"Open!"
Li Huan gave the order, and saw the box opened by several Jin Yiwei, and immediately saw a pile of land deeds, land deeds, etc. appearing in their sight.
Seeing these things, everyone's eyes lit up instantly. As businessmen, what they like most are the land deeds and house deeds of fields and shops.
Don't doubt anyone's desire for land, it is absolutely endless, but whenever possible, they will definitely take out the hidden gold and silver and exchange it for good land that can be passed on to future generations.
Seeing everyone's expressions in his eyes, Li Huan smiled slightly and said, "There are hundreds of thousands of mu of fertile land, hundreds of shops, hundreds of properties, and even hundreds of ships, large and small, that can be used at any time."
Li Huan said with a smile: "It depends on whether you are interested."
Taking a deep breath, Jiang Hong cheered up. He seemed to have forgotten Li Huan's identity as an imperial envoy. Instead of being nervous at all, he looked at Li Huan and said, "My lord, you are sure about these things. As long as we are willing to bid, you will pay for them." Sell it to us?"
Li Huan laughed loudly and said: "If it weren't for that, why should I invite you here? You don't think that I am idle and have nothing to do to make you happy."
Jiang Hong and the others didn't dare to say anything when they heard the words, but their eyes were shining brightly as they looked at the piles of land deeds and house deeds in the box.
Winking at Chen Yao, Chen Yaodang stepped forward, stood in the middle of the hall, looked at the crowd and said, "Everyone, according to the intention of the imperial envoy, the things are here, and everyone can bid for them later, as long as you If you can get gold and silver, these things will belong to you."
As he said that, Chen Yao directly took out a stack of land deeds and said loudly in the eyes of everyone: "This is a land deed for [-] mu of high-quality paddy fields, and the one with the highest price will get it!"
Everyone's eyes lit up, [-] mu of high-quality paddy fields, this is a good thing, many of them have worked hard for half their lives, relying on a little bit of savings, it is quite good to be able to own such a thousand mu of fertile land.
After all, these high-quality assets have always been in the hands of those officials and families. These people have power and money, but whenever there is an opportunity, such high-quality assets will only fall into the hands of these people. Compared with wealthy businessmen who only have money but no power, they naturally have a huge advantage.
[-] mu of high-quality paddy fields, if you miss this opportunity, you will never meet again in your lifetime.
Seeing a wealthy businessman stand up suddenly, he couldn't help shouting loudly: "I will pay 5 taels of silver!"
Everyone couldn't help being startled when they heard the words, 5 mu of land, [-] taels of silver, this price is not low, you must know that the average field is only about two or three taels.
Of course, considering that there are many mountains and few fields in Fujian, and there are high-quality paddy fields, five taels of silver per mu of land really cannot be said to be high.
Sure enough, someone immediately looked at the man with disdain and said, "Brother Chen, if you don't have money, don't bid indiscriminately. If you want to win these high-quality paddy fields, then show some sincerity."
As he spoke, he cupped his hands at Chen Yao and said, "My lord, I would like to give you 8 taels of silver!"
As soon as this person said, there were still people who were eager to try it, but [-]% of them immediately became dumb. The price is really a bit high, and this is just the beginning. There will definitely be more high-quality assets waiting for them in the future. .
Chen Yao glanced at everyone and said, "Everyone, is there anyone who has bid? If not, then the [-] mu of paddy fields will belong to this gentleman. As long as you pay the money, you can go to the government office to go through the formalities at any time."
After more than a dozen breaths, no one spoke again, Chen Yaodang immediately said: "Okay, sir, I have written it down for you here, you just need to send someone to pay the money."
Next, Li Huan sat there leisurely, watching these gentry from the wealthy side compete to bid for a piece of land or a good shop.
After doing the math, after disposing of those land properties and shops, there was another 200 million taels of silver. This made Li Huan sigh with emotion that it was really fast enough to raid the family and exterminate the family.
Li Huan's side was extremely lively, and a lot of money came in, but Qian Li was out of breath, his chest seemed to be about to burst, but he didn't dare to stop.
Finally seeing the familiar alley, Qian Li couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, his body softened and he finally couldn't hold on and fell to the ground.
Seeing Qian Li lying on the ground, one of the Jinyi guards directly swung the scabbard at Qian Li's body, and only let out a muffled grunt as he drew Qian Li.
"who!"
The noise here was not small at all, and it immediately alarmed the Jin Yiwei who had already searched nearby.
Several guards in Jinyi rushed over immediately, and even drew their knives out of their sheaths, ready to strike at any time, but when they saw the person opposite, both sides breathed a sigh of relief seeing that it was their own.
The little banner officer glanced at the Jinyi guards on the opposite side and said in surprise: "You guys are..."
Among Jinyiwei on the opposite side, a captain of Jinyiwei hurriedly said: "My lord, we have two brothers, Cai Chao and Zheng Kui chased and killed the rebels yesterday, and there is no news so far. Find people. So our brothers are searching now..."
The little flag officer was taken aback for a moment, and his eyes fell on Qian Li who was lying on the ground. He remembered that Qian Li said earlier that the people in the Jianghu called Linghu Chong killed their people. Could it be that...
Thinking of this, the little flag officer immediately pointed to Qian Li on the ground and said, "This is the fourth son of the Qian family, Qian Li. Not long ago, he and other people from the same river and lake tried to escape from Fuzhou City by climbing over the city wall, but they were given to him by the brothers." I noticed that the man in the Jianghu was shot dead on the spot, and Qian Li said that the man in the Jianghu killed our two brothers, so could it be that he killed brothers Cai Chao and Zheng Kui?"
The captain of Jinyiwei couldn't help looking at Qian Li when he heard the words. At this time, Qian Li was lying on the ground, panting heavily, as if he felt the eyes of all the Jinyiweis: "I don't know the two Jinyiweis who were killed What are their names, but their bodies are in the yard in front of them, you can go and identify them, and you will know at a glance if they are the people you are looking for."
In fact, if Qian Li was supported, the Jin Yiwei had more or less confirmed in their minds that Cai Chao and Zheng Kui they were looking for should have been killed here.
Because apart from the two, no one else was missing.
The captain of Jinyiwei, who had been searching for most of the night, suddenly stepped forward, picked up Qian Li, and growled fiercely, "Tell me, where are the bodies of Cai Chao and Zheng Kui?"
Coughing violently, Qian Li's face turned red and he was almost strangled to death. He tried his best to point to the courtyard in front of him, and said intermittently: "There...is that courtyard..."
Looking at the courtyard Qian Li was pointing at, the guards in Jinyi glanced at each other. Dang even drew his sword out of its sheath, slammed open the gate, and rushed into the courtyard.
But it was quiet in the courtyard, and there was no movement, as if the Tongdang that Qian Li said did not exist.
At this moment, Qian Li was also escorted into the courtyard by a Jinyi guard. The little flag officer stared at Qian Li coldly with a knife in his hand and said, "Where are you talking about Linghu Chong's party? And Cai Where are the bodies of Chao and Zheng Kui hidden?"
Qian Li pointed to the huge wine vat in the corner not far away and said, "I saw Linghu Chong hid his body in that wine vat. As for Linghu Chong's accomplices, his master Yue Buqun seemed to have gone out, and his younger junior sister It should still be here..."
Qian Li also felt very strange, so many of them broke in, and there was such a big commotion, if Yue Lingshan was still there, she must have noticed it, why there was no reaction for a long time.
Could it be that the other party had already sensed something was wrong and left first?
The little flag officer immediately waved his hand and said to the others: "You guys search the room to see if anyone is there, be careful, these are people from the Jianghu, if you see each other, just shoot with a strong crossbow , don’t give him a chance to make a move.”
He said to the remaining few people: "Let's go and see if it is the bodies of the two brothers Cai Chao and Zheng Kui."
A few people put the Xiuchun knife back into its sheath, held the bowstring crossbow in both hands, and approached the row of rooms cautiously, while Xiao Banner and the others strode towards the row of wine vats.
The lids were lifted one by one, no, no, just when they thought Qian Li was lying, one lid was lifted, and two corpses dressed in brocade sweaters appeared in their sight.
I saw two corpses curled up in the wine vat, and the situation in the wine vat could be seen vaguely by the light of the torch.
Someone recognized the identities of the two at a glance, and exclaimed: "It is the two brothers Zheng Kui and Cai Chao. They really were murdered!"
The ugly-looking little flag officer stepped forward, looked at the situation in the wine tank, suppressed the anger in his heart, and slowly reached out to take out the bodies of the two.
When touching the bodies of the two, it was obvious that the bodies of the two were cold and stiff, and it was obvious that they had been dead for a long time.
Looking at the corpse that was taken out, the officer Xiaoqi took a deep breath and said, "Search!"
Since Qian Li said that Linghu Chong still had companions, they had to find him out. Even though Linghu Chong, who directly killed Cai Chao and Zheng Kui, was dead, it didn't mean that his companions could get away with it.
However, those Jin Yiwei who carried a strong crossbow and searched house by house, when they kicked open a room and entered it, their sharp eyes scanned the whole house, and they were instantly attracted by a figure lying on the bed.
Immediately, a powerful crossbow turned and aimed at the figure on the bed, and at the same time one of them shouted: "Bold thief, you can't escape, you can catch it if you don't let go, otherwise don't blame us for being rude."
Hearing the commotion here, a few Jinyi guards outside also ran over with Xiuchun knife in their hands, and the leader of the small banner officer shouted: "Where are you?"
Several Jinyi guards who were on guard moved out of the way, gestured towards the bed and said, "My lord, look, the other party doesn't seem to respond, he must be dead!"
Officer Xiaoqi frowned, took a deep breath, clenched the Xiuchun Knife, and slowly stepped forward, while the rest of the Jinyiwei had nervous expressions on their faces, ready to strike at any time.
Walking closer, with the help of the firelight, it was clear that the girl lying on the bed turned out to be a beautiful and refined girl, and the girl seemed to be in a coma.
Wei Wei breathed a sigh of relief, but still didn't dare to let go of his vigilance, approached slowly, sized him up, and then shouted: "Get the shackles!"
Soon a pair of shackles made of refined iron was put on Yue Lingshan who was in a coma, her hands and feet were bound by chains, and the little flag officer suddenly pointed out.
With a muffled snort, Yue Lingshan, who hadn't made any movement before, woke up faintly. Her consciousness was obviously still at the moment before being hit by Linghu Chong at the Sleeping Point. When she woke up, she subconsciously said, "Brother, you lied to me again..."
A crisp and pleasant voice sounded in the dark room. At this moment, Yue Lingshan opened her eyes, feeling something was wrong, her hands and feet seemed to be bound.
Before she could react, Yue Lingshan subconsciously thought that Linghu Chong was playing tricks on her and said, "Eldest brother, you're playing tricks again..."
But soon Yue Lingshan could see the situation in the room clearly. When she opened her eyes, she saw more than a dozen figures either carrying embroidered spring knives or crossbows surrounding them in the middle.
"Ah, you...you..."
A scream came out, which was extremely ear-piercing in the middle of the night.
In the darkness, Yue Buqun was rushing towards the small courtyard at an extremely fast speed, his face was full of seriousness.
It's no wonder that Yue Buqun's expression was wrong, but when Yue Buqun was approaching the area of the small courtyard, he unexpectedly encountered two groups of Jinyiwei.
With Yue Buqun's experience, it was natural to see what these Jin Yiwei were searching for, which made Yue Buqun feel bad.
So Yue Buqun hid in the dark and eavesdropped on the conversation of these Jin Yiwei, and Dang even understood that these Jin Yiwei were looking for two missing companions.
Yue Buqun was not a fool, he immediately thought of the two Jin Yiwei who were killed by his disciple Linghu Chong not long ago.
If there were no accidents, these Jin Yiwei should be looking for those two people.
Yue Buqun was in a hurry at the time, just looking at the search range of these Jin Yiwei, he knew that the other party probably had already locked this area, that is to say, it would not be long before they found their place to stay.
The residence is no longer safe, and they must leave immediately, otherwise, once Jin Yiwei's body is found, they will be charged with killing Jin Yiwei.
To put it mildly, it is also a crime of homicide, and to put it too big, they can even be charged with killing officials and rebelling.
"This scoundrel, this time he returned to Mount Hua, he must have been thinking about the cliff for a year!"
Yue Buqun was so angry, if he hadn't discovered these Jinyiwei, Huashan might really be charged with killing officials and rebelling.
At the same time, Yue Buqun secretly rejoiced that he still had a chance, as long as he rushed back to the small courtyard ahead of these Jin Yiwei, killed Qian Li, and then took Linghu Chong and Yue Lingshan with him and left quietly. He knew that the death of the two Jinyiwei was related to Huashan.
Thinking about this, Yue Buqun immediately took advantage of the darkness to avoid those Jinyiwei people and rushed towards the small courtyard.
With Yue Buqun's footsteps, he arrived near the small courtyard within a short time.
But when Yue Buqun appeared outside the small courtyard, his footsteps stopped suddenly, his complexion became gloomy, the courtyard door was wide open, and there were flames dancing in the courtyard, it was clear that a group of people were holding torches inside.
What does this mean, Yue Buqun couldn't think of it, resisting the urge in his heart to rush in, Yue Buqun quietly looked into the yard.
He saw a familiar figure sitting on the ground in the courtyard, it was either Qian Li or someone else, and beside Qian Li were two guards in brocade clothes, besides that, the room was full of fire.
"Chong'er, Lingshan!"
When he saw these Jin Yiwei, Yue Buqun had a bad feeling in his heart, but he didn't see Linghu Chong and Yue Lingshan, which made Yue Buqun feel hopeful.
At this moment, Yue Buqun's familiar scream came from the room. It was not his precious daughter, but who was Yue Lingshan?
A stern look flashed across Yue Buqun's eyes, and just as he was about to rush into the yard to save people, Qian Li, who was originally in the yard, suddenly laughed and said, "Hahaha, Yue Buqun, Yue Buqun, let me You want to kill me. Now your big disciple Linghu Chong has been shot into a hedgehog, and even your daughter has fallen into the hands of Jin Yiwei. I want you Huashan faction to bear the name of killing officials and rebelling. When the time comes, Huashan will be destroyed. No chicken or dog left behind..."
Killing officials and rebelling, Huashan was destroyed, these words exploded in Yue Buqun's ears like thunder, Yue Buqun seemed to have fallen into an ice cave in the cold winter of March, his whole body was icy cold, with his cultivation His body couldn't help trembling slightly, and cold sweat oozed from his forehead.
The body that was about to rush out stopped abruptly, and almost bumped his head against the wall, only to see that Yue Buqun's eyes were full of struggle.
Qian Li's crazy words echoed in his mind.
"Chong'er died? Why did it happen, how did it happen!"
In the room, Yue Lingshan, who saw a group of Jinyi guards staring at her as soon as she opened her eyes, screamed in fright, but soon she also saw the shackles on her body, couldn't help but panic, and subconsciously called out: Brother, senior brother, save me!"
Seeing Yue Lingshan's reaction, several guards in Jin Yi breathed a sigh of relief. Just looking at Yue Lingshan's reaction, they knew that Yue Lingshan must be a young child with little experience in the world. Such a person was no threat at all.
The little banner officer of Jin Yiwei immediately shouted: "Stop shouting, if your elder brother is Linghu Chong, then he won't come to rescue you."
Yue Lingshan looked at the little banner officer foolishly.
Before the little flag officer could speak, Qian Li's loud laughter came from the outside yard.
Yue Lingshan was just a bit more innocent, but she wasn't stupid. When she heard Qian Li curse her elder brother to die and Huashan to rebel, she couldn't help but said in fear: "No, the elder brother is not dead, and our Huashan sect is not dead." No rebellion!"
No matter how simple Yue Lingshan was, she knew what rebellion meant. Their Huashan faction could not bear such a big crime. At the same time, she couldn't believe Qian Li's words, and even looked at the Jinyi guards opposite with a begging look. .
Seeing Yue Lingshan's frightened gaze, the little banner official of Jinyiwei snorted coldly and said, "If your senior brother is Linghu Chong, then don't expect him to rescue you. Li was shot dead on the spot as he fled the city."
"What, big brother...it's impossible..."
Yue Lingshan seemed to be struck by lightning, her face showed horror and disbelief, but the tears in her eyes rolled down her smooth and tender cheeks like broken beads.
Taking a casual look at Yue Lingshan, the Jinyiwei Xiaoqi officer waved his hand and said, "Take the criminal Huashan sent Yue Lingshan away!"
From Qian Li's mouth, he already knew the identities of Yue Buqun and Yue Lingshan who were with Linghu Chong, and Yue Lingshan's reaction after hearing Linghu Chong's death, so he could confirm Yue Lingshan's identity without thinking.
Yue Lingshan was obviously shocked by the news of Linghu Chong's death. She was dumbfounded, and was pushed out of the room by the two Jin Yiwei.
Under the light of a ball of fire, Qian Li couldn't help laughing when he saw Yue Lingshan who was put in shackles: "Haha, Miss Yue, isn't it strange why your senior brother died? And why are these Jinyiwei?" Can you find it here?"
A sea of hatred flashed across Yue Lingshan's eyes, she fixed her eyes on Qian Li and said, "Senior brother has saved your life, but you actually repaid your kindness and even killed senior brother."
Qian Li was furious when he heard this, and said, "It's your fault, that old bastard Yue Buqun. If he hadn't insisted on killing me, why would I have told that idiot Linghu Chong to take such a big risk to leave the city? , if it weren't for Linghu Chong's poor strength, how could I have been caught, since I will die, then none of you should think about it, hahaha..."
Yue Lingshan opened her eyes wide, looked at the crazy Qian Li in disbelief, trembling all over with anger, her pretty face turned pale, and said after a long time: "You...you are a beast!"
