Chapter Twenty-Five: Capturing Hai'an Alive

Xu Wenbin and Li Mingzhong interrogated Yan Luo and the other three men in black overnight.

Urging Yama to be abolished martial arts, all thoughts were lost, and in the face of interrogation, he was indifferent.

Xu Wenbin saw that Yama had a desire to die, and he was not in a hurry to torture him, but only knew that he was rational and moved with affection.

"Urging Yama, you are also a famous figure in the rivers and lakes, why do you want to help the abuse? Do you know the conspiracy behind the Meizhou bloodbath? It was a shocking conspiracy, and if the conspiracy succeeded, it would be the ruin of the country and the destruction of the family. At present, the country is in an eventful autumn, the Tartars, the red hairs, the southern barbarians, and the Japanese are eyeing the land of the Central Plains of our country, and once there is civil strife, those Fanbang, Waiyi, and the Japanese will take advantage of the situation to enter, and the consequences will be unimaginable. Your immediate boss colludes with the Oriental for his own selfish gain, and his purpose is obvious. Old swordsman, put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot, this official advises you to tell us what you know, and make up for your mistakes. Xu Wenbin said euphemistically.

Urging Yama to wake up like a dream. He knew that he had done too much evil and could not escape death, so for the sake of the world, he decided to confess it. He told him how he was invited by a variety of scholars to come all the way to the Central Plains, and then told him about his meeting with Hai's father-in-law, and finally told him about his relationship with Bai Canghai.

"The Hundred Variety Scholar is my worship brother, his business is my business, Bai Canghai is the apprentice of the Variety Scholar, and he is also my apprentice. The reason why he is still alive is because he is the apprentice of the Variety Scholar. Gonggong Hai used to be the same brother as the Variety Scholar, but I don't know what's going on? He actually entered the palace as a ********. Hai'an and I are also brothers who have kowtowed, and sometimes the news of the ever-changing scholar is delivered by Hai'an. Urging Yama said.

"After coming to the Central Plains, have you ever seen a variety of scholars? There he is? Xu Wenbin asked.

"After coming to the Central Plains, I only met the scholar once, and it was in a monastery in the capital. He told me to go to Meizhou to see the opportunity, and I was a person who stuck a knife in both sides for my friend, so I rushed all the way to Meizhou. As soon as I arrived in Meizhou, I heard the news that Bai Cangshan and the Five Elements Black Demon had been captured. Urging Yama said.

"Urging Yama, as long as you are willing to cooperate with us, we will not blame your past. I heard that there is an underground treasure house in Kaifeng, you tell us, where is the underground treasure house? Xu Wenbin asked.

Urging Yama to listen, he didn't know how to answer, he had just come to the Central Plains, and he didn't know what the underground treasure house was, in order to show his sincerity, he told him about his meeting with Bai Canghai.

"Lord Xu, I have just arrived, and I don't know what underground treasure troves there are, but yesterday evening, Bai Canghai and I met in a forest outside the city, and these five black-clothed people were sent to me by Bai Canghai. If the estimation is good, these five men in black are the five monsters guarding the underground treasure house. Since where they appeared, the underground treasure house should be in that woods. As for the specific place, it is better for adults to ask the two of them. Urging Yama pointed to the two men in black beside him.

When Xu Wenbin heard this, he felt that there was some reason, so he interrogated the two men in black.

"My lord, we are all innocent people, just because our family members are being blackmailed, we have to do things for them." The two men in black said in unison.

"Don't be in a hurry, tell your situation one by one, and the official can handle it as appropriate." Xu Wenbin said.

"My name is Xu Shuisheng, and I have a nickname called 'Turning in the Waves', and I make a living by fishing. A few months ago, several people broke into my house, arrested my wife, children, and children, and threatened me to do water transportation for them. For the sake of my wife and children, I had no choice but to agree. Over the past few months, I have helped them transport a lot of supplies to Kaifeng. A few days ago, they said that Kaifeng's supplies needed to be transferred and asked me to stay in Kaifeng. That's the case. The man in black, who was about forty years old, said.

"My name is Wednesday, I'm good at tricking hidden weapons and picking locks, I'm a thief who robs the rich and helps the poor, and I have a nickname called the Flying Hero. A year ago, I was held by the government, and I was about to be beheaded after the autumn, but I was rescued by a big official, and in order to repay the favor, I had to listen to his dispatch. Another man in black said.

"Since you are good at mechanism facilities, the underground treasure house of Kaifeng must be your masterpiece. Tell me, isn't that the case? Xu Wenbin asked.

"That's true. That benefactor sent a father-in-law named Hai'an to take me to an underground warehouse in Kaifeng, where he was responsible for setting up various mechanisms just in case. Said Wednesday.

"Do you know what's in the underground warehouse?" Xu Wenbin then asked.

"There are many things, there are all kinds of rare treasures, antique cultural relics, and a lot of gold and silver property, which can buy the entire capital." Said on Wednesday.

"Wednesday, since you are familiar with the situation of the underground treasure house, then please show us the way, as long as you have made a meritorious service, this official can report to the Holy God and pardon the past crimes." Xu Wenbin said.

"Thank you, sir, for being willing to atone for your sins on Wednesday. The underground treasure trove is on the outskirts, and I'll take you there. Wednesday said yes.

At dawn, Xu Wenbin and Li Mingzhong rushed to the suburbs with more than a dozen of their subordinates following Wednesday and Xu Shuisheng. Urging Yan Luo to stay in the inn because he was seriously injured, Xu Wenbin sent two people to take care of him. The Qinglong Swordsman and the Quick Sword Brothers knew that Xu Wenbin and the others had gone to the suburbs, and in order to prevent accidents, they secretly followed.

The group came to the woods on the outskirts, looked around on Wednesday, came to a large tree, and sat down to rest. Xu Wenbin walked over and asked curiously, "Wednesday, where is the entrance?" Why are you sitting here and not leaving? ”

"Lord Xu, the entrance is in front, but my foot is sprained and I can't walk. Xu Shuisheng is also familiar with the situation of the underground treasure house, so let him lead the way for you! Wednesday said with a wink.

"On Wednesday, I advise you not to play any tricks, you designed the facilities inside, and you could take us there. Didn't you sprain your foot? I have a way for you to lead the way, you just have to talk about it. Xu Wenbin said and ordered his subordinates to go forward on Wednesday.

"Forget it! I'll go on my own. Wednesday broke free from the servant and said quietly.

"You'd better be honest. Let's go! Where is the entrance? Xu Wenbin warned after Wednesday.

Wednesday came to the entrance, it was a grassy field, there was a clump of weeds at the entrance, and a bluestone slab weighing hundreds of pounds. "Master Li, the entrance has been found, what are we going to do next?" Xu Wenbin asked.

"Lord Xu, you are the main person in charge of the Meizhou bloody case, and you still have the idea of the specific arrangement." Li Mingzhong said.

Xu Wenbin then sent two officials to follow Wednesday into the secret passage. Shortly after entering, I could only hear screams from inside. "Not good! Fooled, he fled on Wednesday, and the people he sent down were poisoned. Xu Wenbin's heart tightened and said affirmatively.

"There are many underground treasure troves, and we are not familiar with the situation, so entering rashly will only meet with accidents. In my opinion, first set up an ambush around the area, and lure the snake out of the hole. Now we don't have enough manpower, and we will wait until the officers and soldiers of Kaifeng Prefecture arrive to make plans. Li Mingzhong said.

"What Master Li said is very true, but how do we lure the snake out of the hole?" Xu Wenbin asked.

"Don't worry, you two, we still have a trump card in our hands." Suddenly, someone came out of the woods and spoke.

Xu Wenbin turned his head to look, only to see the Kunlun Three Musketeers walking over with a eunuch.

"This is the Father-in-law of the Sea whom I told you, who was sneaking around in the woods and happened to be bumped into by us." The Blue Dragon Swordsman said.

"Good! Caught a big fish. With him, we're on the safe side. Hai'an, you are not serving the emperor in the palace, how can you have the leisure to come here? Do you recognize me? Li Mingzhong came to Gonggong Hai and asked.

Gonggong Hai glanced at Li Mingzhong, and suddenly his face turned pale with fright, and he said in his mouth: "You are - Qin Cha - Master Li." You—how—are you here too? ”

"The emperor sent me to inspect various places, and I happened to come to Kaifeng, and I met Lord Xu of Meizhou County, and I heard Lord Xu say that there is an underground treasure house in Kaifeng, and the official was curious, so I came to take a look. I didn't expect to meet Gonggong Hai here. Grandpa Hai, you're also here for this underground treasure house, aren't you? Li Mingzhong asked.

"This-this-" Grandpa Hai didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Xu Wenbin looked at Gonggong Hai with sharp eyes and asked: "Gonggong Hai, you are above ten thousand people under one person, you must know the situation of this underground treasure house very well, since you are here, please take us down to visit." ”

Haian was silent.

"Lord Xu, where is the man in black? Didn't he come here with you? The Blue Dragon Swordsman asked.

"Alas, this official made a mistake and fell for his tricks. The man in black said that his name was Wednesday, that he was good at institutional facilities, and that he was willing to atone for his sins. We believed his nonsense, and sent him down with two servants to find out the situation. Unexpectedly, not long after the three of them entered, we heard a scream from below, and then there was no movement. Xu Wenbin sighed.

"It's happened, don't blame yourself too much. It's just that I was negligent for not seeing his true face. According to my estimate, that person's name is not Wednesday, he may be Bai Canghai, the apprentice of the Variety Scholar. Bai Canghai is good at the art of disguise, and he is cunning. He was deliberately captured, and he used clever words to convince you, so that he could lead you into the secret passages and catch them all. The underground treasure trove is full of organs, and the slightest mistake in the pool will shatter bones. The Blue Dragon Swordsman said.

"Old swordsman, what should we do in your opinion? Are you just waiting outside? If they slipped away through another exit, wouldn't we be rejoicing? Xu Wenbin asked.

"Before that, I wasn't completely sure, but now that Gonggong Hai is in our hands, we have an extra chance of winning. Father-in-law Hai, this matter is for you. The Qinglong swordsman turned his gaze to Gonggong Hai and said.

Father-in-law Hai, who has always been arrogant and conceited, faced the Kunlun Three Swordsmen and Li Mingzhong, Xu Wenbin and others, he had no choice but to consider himself unlucky. He knew he was in danger, so he had to go down and try his luck. "Alright! Our family had to bet on this old bone. Lord Li, Lord Xu, do you want our family to lead the way? Let's go, I'll take you inside. Hai Gonggong said.

Xu Wenbin called Xu Shuisheng again and asked the two of them to lead the way in front, and the people behind followed their footprints. The Qinglong swordsman was not worried about Hai'an, and volunteered to follow Hai'an, he was ready at any time. Seeing the Qinglong swordsman following behind him, how dare he play any tricks? He obediently led the way. A group of people lit pine oil torches to illuminate the secret passage. After walking a short distance, he found the bodies of the two officials, who had been hit by several arrows and died miserably.
