Man Tang Huacai

Chapter 40 Remedy
"Come on!"

"A traitor!"

Blood gushed out from the thigh, flowed over the green bricks, and flowed into the crevices of the stones.

Xin Twelve raised his head, but he couldn't stop the severe pain from his scalp.

He shouted as hard as he could, hoping to call Marquis Wu, who was watching the night.

However, Xue Bai had already taken out the dagger and stabbed it into his wound, violently wiggling it.

"Say, who did you tell?"

"Someone! Somebody!"

"If you don't tell me, you will die a miserable death." Xue Bai said: "But you said it, everything is still negotiable. You are just a slave whose body is held by Ji Wen. Why should I be in trouble with you?"

"Forgive me...forgive me...I'm just a servant..."

"I understand. They are all working under the Right Prime Minister's family. There is no need to make such a mess." Xue Bai pulled out his dagger, and said in a more gentle tone: "Think about it carefully, it doesn't matter, and it can be remedied."

"Yep."

After the severe pain, when he suddenly heard such a gentle tone, Xin Twelve Ru grasped the straw to save his life, and was so moved that he wanted to cry.

"Xue Langjun, you are a good person, please forgive me...forgive me."

"Okay, but you have to fix the matter, tell me, who knows, I have to talk to them."

"Dalang...the East City where Dalang and I went together..."

"Where is Ji Dalang?"

"I don't know." Xin Twelve said, "Maybe it's still in Kang's Restaurant, or went to the other house in Xuanyangfang? Maybe it's in Nanqu, Pingkangfang? I really don't know."

"I went to the other house in Xuanyangfang, but I didn't see him."

Xin Twelve was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "I, I... We took Aunt Du to the other house in Xuanyangfang together, but we didn't hurt her... We didn't hurt her."

Xue Bai said: "You still dare to hide it, try it."

"Don't dare, never dare."

"Who else knows?"

"The guard next to Dalang, Liu San, when he asked... He also brought six people to guard Dalang... There was a coachman in the Du family who followed us, and was knocked down by Liu San. He didn't know if he was dead or not, and he was thrown in Dongshi Lane inside……"

"anything else?"

"Also, what's more... I told the concierge of Xiangfu that you are an official slave." Xin Twelve was very sincere, pleading: "That's all, that's all. Please forgive me, you can forgive me Right? Please."

Xue Bai raised his head and looked at the eaves above.

I was thinking of the maid named Liushang.

She was very handsome, and she was the son of a servant in Du's house. After following Du Yu to Liu's house, she didn't have a good life. Sometimes she couldn't even eat enough, so she was worried.

That night the Liu residence was burned down, and the five of them huddled together in the nunnery for the night. On the next day, she wiped his face with a handkerchief, and then had breakfast together. She helped the shopkeeper stack up the bowls...

Blood flowed onto Xue Bai's hands, warm and sticky.

The dagger was stuck in Xin Twelve's neck, Xue Bai could feel a pulse, and then it became weaker and weaker.

He covered Xin Twelve's eyes, pulled out the dagger, and stabbed him twice in the chest, then got up, with a swallowing movement in his throat, and after a moment of delay, he walked towards Jiang Hai.

"Have you counted? How many?"

"Counting what you killed, there are seven in total, and here is one more."

Jiang Hai agreed, and casually mentioned a trembling man, saying: "He said he has nothing to do with the right minister, but a slave trader."

"killed."

"puff."

The body was thrown on the ground.

"Eight."

"Walk."

Xue Bai never looked at Nu Yalang.

He was with a herd of beasts, some of whom had buried him alive, silent, cold, and heartless like killing machines.

He didn't want them to feel that he was here for Nu Yalang, and that he was here to protect Mr. Pei's identity.

As for that Nu Yalang may know his life experience, do you want to ask?
Xue Bai didn't care at all.

If that identity is better than that of Xue Ling's son, maybe he should consider making a choice, but he didn't.

He doesn't even count as a man in the world, so why rush to be his son?
"The Jinwu Guard has been alarmed!"

Even though these Longyou soldiers moved swiftly and killed eight people in an instant, and none of them escaped, there are still Jinwu Guards rushing here.

Jiang Hai said: "Kill or go?"

"Do not impulse."

Xue Bai found two documents from Xin Twelve's arms, he opened one of them, took a picture in front of the lantern, and saw that there was a big seal of "Jingzhaofu Facao" on it, which was a curfew document in running script.He glanced at the other letter, which was a contract seal, and immediately put it in his arms.

"Go north and remember that we are Ji Wen's people when we leave the workshop later."

"Ah."

"Jiwen's son also knows Mr. Pei's identity."

"Just kill it." Tuoba Mao said.

Jiang Hai asked, "Where's my elder brother?"

"Don't worry, do it one by one."

~~
Changlefang.

Yang Shenjin's other house is quite large, covering an area of ​​more than a hundred steps long and wide.

At three o'clock, the courtyard was brightly lit, and a row of soldiers were running with torches, still searching around.

Amidst the clanging of armor, Guo Qianli strode back to the front yard, scolded his mother, and sat down in the hall with some difficulty.

"You two little ones, come here and help me take off my armor."

"Here."

Calling two soldiers to help, he took off the heavy armor and put on a somewhat old fur cloak. Guo Qianli relaxed a lot, leaned back, and sighed: "I'm old, I'm old. Right five days and five nights without disarmament, nothing wrong with it, what's the matter now, don't you think?"

"The general is not old, but the general is still in his prime."

"Ah." Guo Qianli sighed, "You said You Xiaowei's bastards, can't you think this is Dongshi? They said they were looking for evidence, and they put things in sacks. Damn, what a damn!"

"General, Mr. Xue Lang is here."

"Quick." Guo Qianli waved quickly, "Come in, please."

After a while, Xue Bai walked into the hall quickly, with a calm face, looking very unhappy.

"Hey, why are you so mature at such a young age, who made you unhappy..."

"General Guo, how do you search Yang Zhongcheng's other house?!" Xue Bai asked.

"Blame me?" Guo Qianli dissatisfied: "I was also following orders. I didn't see those dead men in the East Palace evacuate. Ji Wen asked the order of the right minister to break in and search. They took dozens of people, mother, one I didn’t see the weapon, did you see blood on my knife?”

"I'm asking, why did you search Yang Zhongcheng's other house?!"

"Ok?"

Guo Qianli was taken aback for a moment, and asked back, "Otherwise?"

Xue Bai didn't speak immediately, and seemed to be stunned for a while, before asking: "General Guo said that Ji Wen found out about Yang Zhongcheng?"

"Otherwise? Chuang all broke in, and everyone held him back."

"But the one I found was not Yang Zhongcheng!"

Hearing this sentence, Guo Qianli opened his mouth and widened his eyes, showing an expression of disbelief.

"No way? No, didn't you just say that Ji Wen won your credit..."

"But what I checked was different from his."

"I met you when I came, why don't you tell me?"

"Ji Wen detained me in Jingzhao Mansion, how do I know that he put the matter on Yang Zhongcheng?" Xue Bai was very angry, and said loudly, "I thought you were going to Daozhengfang."

"Xue Langjun, don't bluff me with such a big matter." Guo Qianli's face was pale, and he stood up uneasy, "Such a big matter can be wrong? Tonight, the sixteen guards searched the residence of Yushi Zhongcheng. !"

"I don't understand." Xue Bai shook his head, also showing a dazed attitude, "If I can see the right minister in the evening, it will definitely not be like this. But I don't understand why Ji Wen trapped me in Jingzhao Mansion? No, he didn't do it for merit?"

"what."

Guo Qianli exclaimed, his beard seemed to be stretched a little, and he was a little surprised.

Although he was a rough man, he understood what Xue Bai was saying.

"Could it be that Ji Wen was bought by the East Palace?! Mr. Xue Lang, we have to go see the Prime Minister!"

"I just came from the Right Prime Minister's Mansion." Xue Bai said, "The Right Prime Minister is busy."

"You have been waiting for so long, and you still haven't seen the right minister?"

"Well, where is Ji Wen?"

"Interrogated in the backyard, and drove me away. Damn, You Xiaowei, surnamed Yang, searched everywhere, this kind of person..."

"Do you know where Jiaonu is?"

"The girl came and took the prisoner. She was supposed to be a hostage. But there was no resistance. Ji Wen took the prisoner over, saying that it was used to identify the dead in the East Palace during the interrogation."

"Jiang Mao is in Ji Wen's hands?" Xue Bai frowned.

Guo Qianli cursed and said, "Isn't everything in his hands?"

Xue Bai took a few steps, and pondered: "I think he wants to frame Yang Zhongcheng with the wrongdoing. Yang Zhongcheng is a loyal minister, with a high character and integrity, and Ji Wen dares to be dirty."

Guo Qianli scratched his head, thinking to himself that everyone is working under the right minister's door, so there is no need to talk about high morals.

"Even Yushi Zhongcheng dares to frame him, Ji Wen doesn't want to be an official anymore."

Xue Bai said: "Jiang Mao must be brought back, and Yang Zhongcheng must be rescued."

"I'm afraid Jiwen won't hand him over to us."

"Then you have to ask someone, let's go!"

Guo Qianli wanted to go to the right minister's mansion wholeheartedly, but he didn't expect Xue Bai to rush towards the backyard in big strides, he was stunned, and hurriedly followed.

~~
"As expected of a famous queen."

Yang Zhao held up a luminous pearl, looked at the torch for a long time, and clicked his tongue.

"You know, he and I are both descendants of the Eastern Han Dynasty Taiwei, and we are both Hongnong Yang's. Why is he so rich?"

After muttering like this for a while, he turned his head to look, but saw Ji Wen wandering in the corridor at some point.

"Ji Tongu, talking to you, help me see how fine this luminous pearl is?"

"It's impossible to make mistakes." Ji Wen frowned and whispered to himself, and asked, "Your people really didn't take the weapons away?"

Yang Zhao leaned back and said softly, "Who can't even tell the difference between weapons and property."

"Could it be that dead soldiers and weapons are hidden separately?"

"Look at the fineness of this night pearl..."

"Still watching? You also know that he is Yushi Zhongcheng, and he has always framed others. What if you can't kill a snake and bite you instead?"

Yang Zhao is not afraid.

He has had phlegm from the right minister, this is his confidence.

Those who stand up straight in front of the right minister and maintain a personable demeanor are idiots who can't even learn how to be a dog.

How could he be afraid of such a fool?
And it wasn't him who investigated the case.

Yang Zhao then smiled and put Ye Mingzhu into his sleeve.

"Ugh."

Ji Wen sighed, exhaled a bad breath, turned around and walked away, beckoning people to drink while walking and asking: "Have you come out of the trial?!"

"Ji Facao, what are you still interrogating?!"

Hearing another shout, Ji Wen turned around irritably, and it was indeed Xue Bai and Guo Qianli who came side by side.

"I'm handling the case! Are you going to obstruct me again?!"

Xue Bai actually confronted each other, raised his hand and shouted: "Do you think those servants look like dead soldiers?!"

Ji Wen didn't expect him to be so arrogant, and said angrily: "I will interrogate myself, and it's not your turn to roar here in vain!"

"You've committed a crime tonight, and when the time comes, the real criminals will leave. Let's see what you do!"

"Xue Bai, what do you mean by obstructing me again and again?!"

Yang Zhao just entered the main room, and when he heard the quarrel, he turned his head and looked out, only to see that everyone was watching.

He shook his head involuntarily, secretly amused, thinking that it was just doing errands, why should each of them be so serious?

They don't know how to be an official.

The thousand words of gold that I told Xue Bai earlier were in vain.But I can say it again next time, it is another gift worth a thousand dollars.

"..."

"Where's Jiang Mao?"

"I need him to identify the criminal!"

Xue Bai seemed to have calmed down, and said: "Jifa Cao, you made a big mistake tonight, come with me to the Right Prime Minister's Mansion to plead guilty."

"what?"

"I advise you to go back to the Right Prime Minister's Mansion with me to plead guilty."

"Oh, you are not qualified to give orders to me."

"That's all for Cao Cao to do as he pleases." Xue Bai turned around and said, "General Guo, let's go see the right minister."

Guo Qianli had grown impatient for a long time. He didn't know the use of Xue Bai and Ji Wen's nonsense, so he strode away after hearing the words.

Ji Wen was taken aback, and then looked at the servants of Yang Zhai who had been captured by him. They didn't have the slightest murderous intent, how could they look like Longyou veterans?

He was inexplicably flustered, and hurriedly called Yang Zhao, saying, "I have to go see the right minister."

"Then you go, I'll send someone to escort you there."

Yang Zhao hadn't finished searching the other house, so he didn't leave, so he recruited a group of people to escort Ji Wen to the Right Prime Minister's Mansion.

~~
"General, a house in Daozhengfang is flooded!"

Guo Qianli had just left the gate of the other house when he heard a Jinwu guard rushing to report.

He frowned and asked, "Which one?!"

"General." Another person came out from the door and reported, "Ji Facao left through the back door."

"Let's go, see the prime minister first." Guo Qianli said immediately, "We have to get ahead of Ji Wen."

"No hurry." Xue Bai stopped, and asked the soldier who reported the letter, "Where's Jiang Mao? Did he take him away or stay here?"

"It was taken."

Xue Bai had planned a long time ago. If Jiang Mao was left behind, he could send Guo Qianli away; if he was taken away, he had no choice but to rob him.

"General Guo, the fire in Daozhengfang may have something to do with the dead men in the East Palace. You'd better go and have a look. I have done nothing tonight, and I can explain it to the right minister alone."

After hearing this, Guo Qianli frowned, thinking about whether this made sense.

Xue Bai moved quickly, and he rode straight away.
