Chapter 53

As estimated by Xiang Kang, Xiang You and others, the three family members of Shan Youwei who suddenly moved into the Yanjiting guest house were really sent by Shan Youwei to contact Xiang You, but these three confidantes of Shan Youwei They all slightly underestimated the intelligence capabilities of Xiang Kang and the Yu family's father and son. They didn't know that the servants of the Yu family who stayed in Yanjiting to guard the old house and fields had recognized them a long time ago, and secretly reported them to the Yu family's father and son. The family stabbed Xiang Kang, not to mention losing the advantage of the enemy being transparent, but falling into a passive position instead.

Wang Ju, who had fought two moves with Fan Kui, was the leader of the three. After living in the Yanjiting guest house, Wang Ju sent his subordinates to Shiling Pavilion secretly twice, trying to get in touch with Xiang You, and asked Xiang You to come to Yanjiting to meet with him. Meet and discuss by yourself.But it's a pity, because the Xiang family's children like to wander around, and because Xiang Kang cleverly used his own children to guard each other, Wang Ju's men only saw Xiang You from a distance once, and they didn't dare to approach Xiang You. You speak.In addition, Feng Zhong, the local snake at Shiling Pavilion, is also the enemy of Shan Youwei, and Wang Ju's men dare not stay in Shiling Pavilion for a long time, so it is naturally more difficult to find opportunities to secretly contact Xiang You.

Of course, Wang Ju was somewhat anxious about this, but fortunately, Shan Youwei did not set a time limit for Wang Ju, so Wang Ju can also live in Yanjiting with peace of mind for the time being, and patiently wait for the opportunity to get in touch with Xiang You. Naturally, it is indispensable to send someone back to report to Shan Youwei, so that Shan Youwei can wait patiently for him for a few more days.

After living in Yanji Pavilion for five days, on the morning of the sixth day, Wang Ju, with the attitude of giving it a try, sent another subordinate named Ji Dao to sneak to Shiling Pavilion in casual disguise, and tried to contact Xiang You secretly again. He also told Ji Tao that as long as he could find Xiang You, no matter what excuse he had to come up to talk to Xiang You, he secretly asked Xiang You to come to Yanjiting to meet and discuss with him, and to receive the task assigned by Shan Youwei.

Wang Ju was a little surprised. After Ji Dao left Yanjiting in the morning, he returned to the Yanjiting guest house just after the hour, and said as soon as they met, "Brother Wang, there is no need to go to Yanjiting. That little Zhuzi Xiang You is here." , came over to Yanjiting with his family's gang of shabby children, and it looks like they are going to come here to play."

"Good time." Wang Ju was overjoyed when he heard that, he hurriedly put the poison given to him by Shan Youwei, led two of his men and hurried out, and went directly to the road from Yanji Pavilion to Shiling Pavilion and waited very carefully. He hid in a secluded place by the side of the road, leaving only one of his subordinates disguised as ordinary people guarding the side of the road, waiting patiently for Xiang You's arrival.

It took a while before the Xiang family's sons with their hair and swords appeared in the field of vision of Wang Ju and others, talking and laughing. Xiang You walked at the end of the crowd, looking around constantly, as if looking for something.Wang Ju's men, who had been waiting anxiously on the side of the road for a long time, did not hesitate, and immediately went forward, pretending to pass by the Xiang family's children on the road, and coughed a few times on purpose when they were about to walk next to Xiang You, He winked at Xiang You desperately like killing a chicken and wiping his neck.

Sure enough, Xiang You recognized Shan Youwei's family members immediately, pouted his mouth behind him, and signaled Wang Ju's subordinates to go back. Wang Ju's subordinates understood, nodded and walked forward, while Xiang You continued to follow. Seeing that the Xiang family disciples walked in the opposite direction, they quickly distanced themselves from Wang Ju's men.

It was after the Xiang family's children had gone far away that Wang Jucai and Ji Dao came out of the hiding place and hurried over to exchange news with their subordinates. After learning of Xiang You's nuzui signal, Wang Jucai, who had been waiting for several days, was of course happy in his heart. Leading the two men to continue to guard the roadside, continue to wait patiently for Xiang You to return.

About half a quarter later, Xiang You reappeared in the sight of Wang Ju and the others, and waved to Wang Ju and the others from a distance. Knowing that Xiang You turned around and left again, Wang Ju and the three of them followed in a strange hurry, and was soon led by Xiang You to a place with a small forest beside the road, and then Xiang You turned around and walked into the forest. After entering the woods, Wang Ju and the three of them suddenly realized that Xiang You was looking for a safer place to talk, so they hurriedly followed in, and finally met Xiang You alone in a particularly densely wooded place in the middle of the woods. .

"Master Xiang, you told us to wait." Wang Ju, who was in a good mood, smiled and said, "Do you know that we have been waiting for you at Yanji Pavilion for a few days?"

"Yes, I have been waiting for six days."

Wang Ju was a little dumbfounded by Xiang You's frank answer, and Wang Ju couldn't help but blurt out and ask, "How do you know?"

"It's a shame that you still have the face to ask, I was almost killed by you." Xiang You said angrily, "Your whereabouts have been discovered by the Yu family long ago, and the Yu family told Xiang Kang the news. He also told our Xiang family brothers to be careful on guard against you, so I haven't had a chance to act alone these days."

"Also, Xiang Kang is already suspecting that you guys did the mountain climbing that day." Xiang You quickly added: "He and Feng Zhong also sent people to Ling County to investigate the matter secretly. There are some eyebrows."

"What clues did you find out?" Wang Ju asked quickly.

"It seems that I bought a servant from your family and found out who was not at home that day." Xiang You said, "Xiang Kang suspects that the person who shot back and attacked him that day should be a martial arts expert in your family, and he is secretly investigating. Who killed it? I want to find out the person who shot the arrow that day, force him to give a confession, and bring down your master directly. I heard that the names of two people have been found out."

"The names of those two people?" Wang Ju hurriedly asked again.

"I don't know, that kid has a very strict mouth, no matter what my brothers ask, he won't say anything." Xiang You shook his head, and asked worriedly: "Brother Wang, the person who shot the arrow that day, could it be you?" ? If it's you, you have to be careful, don't fall into his hands."

"It's not me." Wang Ju also shook his head, and said honestly: "Although I went that night, I am in ambush on another road, and I didn't meet that little Xiang Kang."

"Is that you?" Xiang You asked Wang Ju's two subordinates again, and said, "If it was you, you must be careful, maybe your names have already been known by Xiang Kang and Feng Zhong. You died that night Two people is a serious case of human life, as long as Feng Zhong has evidence, he can directly cross the border to arrest people."

"Don't worry, I'll be careful." Wang Ju's subordinate Ji said without asking himself, "The other brother, I'll tell him to be careful too."

A strange light flashed in Xiang You's eyes, he nodded, and then asked again: "What's the matter with you waiting for me at Yanji Pavilion for so many days? Tell me, I've been here for a long time, I'm afraid my brothers will Suspicious."

Seeing that the time was urgent, Wang Ju didn't think much about it, and immediately took out a small porcelain vase, handed it to Xiang You and said, "My master told you to find a way to add it to Xiang Kang's little Zhuzi's meal or to drink it." Put a little of what's in it in the water."

"You asked me to poison Xiang Kang?" Xiang You's surprise was not fake, but genuinely surprised by Shan Youwei's viciousness. He never thought that Shan Youwei would kill Xiang Kang himself.

"Don't worry, even if the incident happens, those brothers in your family will only suspect that we did it, and will not suspect it on you." Wang Ju said with a grinning smile: "Also, my master said that after the incident, he will I will give you fifty gold to help you marry that little sister of the Yu family."

He took the vase tremblingly, and Xiang You asked again: "Is there any other explanation? If not, I will leave first."

"No more." Wang Ju smiled and said, "Do it as soon as possible, and wait for your good news."

Xiang You nodded, took a few steps back, then suddenly raised his voice, and shouted directly: "Okay, the physical evidence has been obtained, and you can get the personal evidence."

"What do you mean by that?" Wang Ju and the other three were surprised.

"Everyone, die!"

There was a sudden roar from above their heads, and before Wang Ju and the others came back to their senses, two tall figures jumped down from the thick leaves above their heads, and kicked them both in the air while still in mid-air, kicking them separately. Unprepared, Wang Ju and Ji Dao kicked one of them on his back and the other on his side.And then, the two brothers Xiang Zhuang and Xiang Guan, who were the most skilled among the Xiang family's children, suddenly appeared majestically in front of Wang Ju and others like gods descending from the earth.

"Rush! Rush in and grab them all!"

The sound of footsteps and shouts came from outside the forest at the same time, and the disciples of the Xiang family, who had not been seen before, rushed in from outside the forest with swords in hand, shouting and rushing towards Wang Ju and the others like soldiers descended from heaven.Wang Ju was shocked when he saw it, he jumped up and ran outside, "Run!"

"Where are you running?!" Xiang Zhuang also flew up, kicking Wang Ju's back. Fortunately, Wang Ju was a bit skilled in martial arts. Seeing that he didn't fall, he stumbled forward and rushed forward. Xiang Zhuang drew his sword and chased after him. With red eyes, he greeted Wang Ju one after another, and soon stabbed Wang Ju in the back shoulder with his sword.

On the other side, Xiang Guan also stared at Ji Dao who admitted to shooting the arrow, kicked him down twice in a row, and then stabbed his leg with a sword, piercing his thigh directly, cutting off his desire to escape.Another of Wang Ju's subordinates drew his sword and tried to rescue Ji Tao, but was also caught by Xiang You with his sword. Zhong Wangju's subordinate also stabbed him.

After a little delay, other members of the Xiang family rushed forward, in twos and threes, either helping Xiang Guan to capture people, or helping Xiang You deal with the enemy. He overtook Wang Ju and Xiang Zhuang with strides, and helped Xiang Zhuang stop Wang Ju.Wang Ju had no choice but to growl and draw his sword desperately. However, although Wang Ju's martial arts skills were not bad, how could he defeat the two elites of the Xiang family, Xiang Zhuang and Xiang Sheng? In the next round, Xiang Zhuang pierced his right hand with a sword, and the iron knife in his hand fell to the ground. Xiang Sheng next to him took the opportunity to turn the hilt of the sword, and hit the back of his head with the hilt, not to mention the blood on the back of his head, and let his body His head was dizzy and his eyes turned black, Xiang Zhuang took the opportunity to sweep him again, knocked him to the ground, and stepped on him tightly with his feet.

At this time, the Xiang family's children, who were fighting more and more, had already lifted the bronze sword of another subordinate of Wang Ju's, and forced him to kneel and surrender with the sword. Ji Dao, whose thigh was pierced by Xiang Guan, had already been turned back As a result, Shan Youwei's three family members were all captured by the Xiang family's children, and none of them escaped.

"Xiang You, you capricious and despicable villain!" Wang Ju struggled and roared: "Dare to be a traitor, don't forget, your autographed slips are still in the hands of our master, you betrayed your brother, you are shameless!" villain!"

"Shut your dog mouth!" Xiang Zhuang kicked Wang Ju's mouth, kicking one of Wang Ju's teeth away, and then said with a smirk, "I'll tell you the truth, Xiang You is going to meet you guys!" The contact is an arrangement personally arranged by my brother Xiang Kang. The purpose is to get the ironclad evidence that you tried to assassinate him! If you are smart, you will confess to me honestly when you arrive at our Xiaxiang County Temple, and reveal all the crimes of your master. Otherwise, you will suffer."

"Xiang You's going to Ling County is also the arrangement of Xiang Kang's Xiaozhuzi?" Wang Ju was a little stunned, saying that he never thought that Xiang You, who had passed many tests that day and barely gained the temporary trust of Shan Youwei, was actually a counter-instructor sent by Xiang Kang. .After regaining his senses, Wang Ju hurriedly yelled again: "Let go of me! I'm from Ling County, you are not official servants, what right do you have to arrest me?"

"There will be soon." Xiang Zhuang smiled and shouted: "Quickly, tie them all up, gag them, and take them back to Shiling Pavilion."

According to Xiang Zhuang's instructions, the Xiang family's children quickly took out the ropes hidden on their bodies before, tied up Wang Ju's hands and feet, and stuffed their mouths with socks. Huan waited for the big men to pick up one person, took them with them, and hurried back on the way back and forth.Passers-by on the road were shocked when they saw this, although they did not dare to stop the vicious Xiang family's children directly, they hurried to report the crime to Yanjiting's pavilion without mentioning it.

A race of chasing after each other ensued. After receiving the report, although they were not very clear about the situation, Yan Jiting, the head of Tingting, and Zhang Ying, who knew something about the inside story, hurriedly brought the horse and rode on the harness. He rushed to rob people with a two-foot board, trying to use the power of the government to stop the Xiang family's children and rescue the captured Wang Ju and others.The members of the Xiang family took turns carrying Wang Ju and the others on their backs, rushing back to Xiaxiang County against the clock.

After all, Zhang Ying and the others rode faster. Before the Xiang family's children could see the boundary marker of Xiaxiang County, Zhang Ying and the others had already chased behind them. When they heard Shan Youwei's subordinates shouting to stop them, Wang Ju and the others also followed suit. Struggling desperately, it became more difficult for the children of the Xiang family to carry them on foot, and bought time for Zhang Ying and others.Although the Xiang family disciples also punched and kicked them to keep them quiet, it was a pity that it had no effect. Zhang Ying and the pavilion chief of Yan Jiting also took the opportunity to chase and get closer, and gradually approached within [-] steps behind the Xiang family disciples and others.

"Da da da da, da da da da."

At the critical moment, there was a new sound of horseshoes, and Feng Zhong and Shi Lingting's Qiang Thief each rode a fast horse, and they also suddenly appeared in front of the road like divine soldiers descending from heaven.The disciples of the Xiang family, who were already out of breath from running, were overjoyed when they saw the great joy. They walked faster with confidence, and rushed face to face with Feng Zhong and the others. Finally, they took the first step to catch up with Feng Zhong and others before they were overtaken by Zhang Ying and the others. Feng Zhong met and shouted the first complaint - this is very important.Feng Zhong, who had been holding the two-foot version in his hand, also hurriedly lifted the two-foot version, and shouted at Zhang Ying and the others: "Feng Zhong, the prime minister, handles the case, idlers, please avoid immediately!"

"This is Ling County, and we saw these people first. What qualifications do you have to handle the case?" Zhang Ying reined in his horse and asked unconvinced.

"But I met them first, and they sued me first." Feng Zhong smiled, and then said: "Also, I suspect that the three people they caught are related to the two murders in Xiaxiang County. , even if it crosses the border, this official is qualified to investigate and deal with it!"

Wang Ju and the others struggled desperately, wanting to speak out, but unfortunately the Xiang family's children didn't give them a chance to speak at all, Feng Zhong then smiled at Zhang Ying and Yan Jiting's pavilion chief: "Ting chief Jiang, Zhang Qiu Thief, I'm sorry, I have to take these three people back to the lower eunuch for trial, if you feel that this matter is related to you, you can go to the trial with me, and I will never stop you. But..."

Speaking of this, Feng Zhong prolonged the ending, and said with a sneer: "But because we are all neighbors, I advise you, it's better not to listen, because this case is probably related to your superiors. If the subordinate officials have to track down the superior officials, not only will they be easily implicated, but it will not be so easy to handle."

Knowing the identities of Wang Ju and others for a long time, the pavilion chief of Yanji Pavilion and Zhang Ying certainly knew that this incident might have something to do with their immediate superior, Shan Youwei.But the matter has come to this point, if you don't go to observe the case, you can't explain to the county, so Jiang Tingchang and Zhang Ying discussed in a low voice, and decided that Jiang Tingchang will go to Shiling Pavilion to listen to the case to understand the situation. Zhang Ying rushed to Ling County on horseback to report to Shan Youwei.Feng Zhong knew what they were thinking, but he didn't stop them. He just smiled and let the Xiang family's children continue to carry Wang Ju and others, and followed him back to Shiling Pavilion for interrogation.

There are some witnesses, and there are also Xiang family's children who testify, repeating Wang Ju, Ji Dao and others' self-incrimination. If Feng Zhong, a veteran case handler, refuses to ask for a confession, he is really in vain. This is equivalent to the director of the township police station. The game is gone.Just in the afternoon, Feng Zhong successfully forced Ji Dao to explain the truth about the assassination of Xiang Kang when he climbed the mountain that day, and after the incident was reported to Xiaxiang County, the county magistrate Zhou immediately dispatched the county officials with official documents He went to Ling County overnight to bring Nadan Youwei to the lower minister for interrogation.

But it's a pity that the prime minister was a step late, and just learned the general story from Zhang Ying. Shan Youwei, who has a keen sixth sense, immediately understood that he was probably doomed this time, and he brought the gold with him early. Yin Xiruan fled outside the city to hide.And after receiving the news that the prime minister had proposed to take him, Shan Youwei fled all night and disappeared into the night without a trace.

After the news of Shan Youwei’s absconding guilt came back to the prime minister, Xiang Kang, who worked so hard to design, was a little surprised, but still heaved a sigh of relief—without power, even if Shan Youwei might seek revenge on himself, the threat is far from So big.So Xiang Kang said to himself again: "It's over, at least I don't have to worry about Shan Youwei's people plotting against me all the time, and I can concentrate on bigger things."
