79. The Failed 'Bandits'

"Never. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info" Lu Gongmei immediately objected: "That is the act of banditry." If there's a gain, that's it. If there is no harvest, how will it end? ”

Hua Ruyan pouted beside him: "You old man, a few of our brothers and sisters are talking, where is your turn to interject?" Turning to Cheng Linghui and said, "Third brother, who did you say to tie up?" How to tie it? ”

Shen Cong, Zhao Qiao, and Yan Jing, the three of them looked at Cheng Linghui at the same time, obviously agreeing. Lu Gongmei hurriedly said: "You have to think twice about this." "Although he is sleeker than Chang Jiwen and the city government is deeper, he also grew up reading sage books since he was a child. Everything must always pay attention to a bit of truth, how can there be such a person who does not do two things endlessly, and kidnaps tickets at every turn?

Yan Jing glanced at Shen Cong, who was sitting next to Lu Gongmei. Shen Cong raised his hand and slashed at the back of Lu Gongmei's neck. Lu Gongmei rolled her eyes and fainted. Shen Cong picked him up and threw him into a room in the backyard.

Hua Ruyan sighed: "It would be nice if Deng Er was here." I was really afraid that Brother Shen would make a mistake and beat that old man to death. In that case, it is not easy for the third brother to go back. ”

Cheng Linghui said: "The eldest brother's subordinates are naturally measured. Xiang said: "It's inevitable that the night will be long and dreamy, let's not wait for it to get dark before acting." This called the brothers into action. Be sure to keep the movement small. The province alarmed the county officials and added to the trouble. ”

Hua Ruyan said: "Third brother, you are all gone, what am I doing?" ”

Cheng Linghui said: "Just be optimistic about Mr. Lu." ”

Although the sky was already bright, Cheng Linghui and his party were all dressed as ordinary people. It was again in batches, and it did not attract the attention of the people in the town.

Under the leadership of Yan Jing, everyone put down the servants on the corner door in the backyard of the rich man's house and quickly touched in.

Yan Jing is very familiar with this house. Even the rich man's concubine and which room he lived in knew very well. Last night, the people of the Chang'an Dart Bureau never returned. The rich man had long been aware of something. I sat restless all night, and finally managed to survive until dawn. was about to send someone to inquire about the whereabouts of the Chang'an Dart Bureau and his party. Unexpectedly, Cheng Linghui and his party touched in and blocked it.

If the rich man is caught, his family members will be able to do it. Cheng Linghui asked his subordinates to drive the man into a room and take care of him. The lady rushed into a room and took care of her. With a flick of his wrist, he put the self-defense dagger on the neck of the rich man.

This rich man is in his forties, with a fat head and big ears, and he looks like a coward, but he didn't expect that he still has a bit of hard bones. He recognized Cheng Linghui at a glance as the young man who was on the same road as him. said: "What this brother lacks, what is missing, just say a word." Don't hurt the peace. ”

Cheng Linghui was not in the mood to go around in circles with him, and sneered: "Don't talk nonsense." Your man has hurt my brother, and I have come to seek justice for my brother. ”

The rich man's eyes were dripping, and when he saw Yanjing, he suddenly changed color: "Okay, it's you." ”

Yan Jing took a sip: "It's the master." Your special little master is so bitter. I wanted to borrow some coils from you, but who knew I would only get a broken book. He almost killed the people of the Chang'an Dart Bureau. Let me tell you, the two of us have become bigger. ”

The rich man said, "What about the book?" ”

Yan Jing casually said nonsense: "Wipe your ass." ”

The rich man Wang breathed a sigh of relief when he couldn't see it, and said with a smile: "It's me who has no eyes and no beads and has neglected this hero." In this way, I will take a thousand taels of silver to make amends to you. ”

Cheng Linghui patted the fat face of the rich man with a dagger, full of arrogance: "My brother's life is worth a thousand taels?" ”

The rich man said, "Then how much do you say?" ”

Cheng Linghui said: "We are not unreasonable people. It's too vulgar to talk about silver. I heard that your brother is the chief butler of Fan Xiu, the governor of the Southern Capital, and he is very valued by Fan Xiu. Usually take advantage of Fan Xiu, right? If there is any treasure, just reward our brothers with two pieces. ”

The rich man immediately became vigilant, and said with a sad face: "Oh, I have been wronged. Although the younger brother worked as an errand boy at Lord Fan, he kept his duty and never took anything back. ”

Cheng Linghui said coldly: "It seems that you don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin." But she was ruthless, and she really couldn't do it.

The rich man Wang is obviously also an old oilman, and he can see that Cheng Linghui does not dare to do anything to himself. Of course, the water does not show up. In this way, Cheng Linghui fell down when he saw it. Among several people, Yan Jing is a snitch, usually sneaky, and not a ruthless character.

Shen Cong had a pale papier-mΓ’chΓ© face all day long, looking quite cold. Because it is a tomb robber, it is ruthless enough. After a few steps, he grabbed one of the fat arms of the rich man, and unloaded it with a click.

The rich man also hardened, his face was blue from pain, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead, but he still gritted his teeth and didn't say anything.

Shen Cong didn't say a word, click, click, At this moment, the rich man could only collapse on the ground like a mess of mud. But if he doesn't say it, no one can do anything.

Zhao Qiao walked over slowly and glanced at him. Xiang Cheng Linghui said: "It seems that he really doesn't have anything to do." However, since we are here, we can't go back empty-handed. I just looked, and a few women in the backyard are okay. It's better to bring it back and serve our brothers. As for those men......" Zhao Qiao looked at the rich man Wang: "Just leave it to the rich man to send it underground." ”

After speaking, his face turned cold: "Kill." ”

Cheng Linghui was so shocked by his look that she trembled. This Zhao Qiao usually looks like a noble son, but he didn't expect it to suddenly be murderous and terrifying. Cheng Linghui has always only sought wealth, and has walked around those grievances and grievances. Of course, she couldn't understand where Zhao Qiao's murderous aura came from.

Shen Cong and Yan Jing looked familiar. It's not so easy to make a name for yourself in the world. Even if you don't mess with others, there are many people who want to provoke you. Those who wanted to make a name for themselves through the name of the Three Heroes of the Central Plains, but in the end they gave their lives, can't be counted.

Zhao Qiao looked at the rich man: "Don't be too sad. I'll send your brother's family to reunite with you underground. ”

The rich man's face turned pale and gray: "My brother is the governor's person. ”

Zhao Qiao suddenly smiled: "I originally wanted to keep those women, but it's not good to keep them if you remind them like this." After speaking, he said to Cheng Linghui: "Third brother, should we let this old man Wang send off his wife and daughter?" ”

Cheng Linghui nodded.

Zhao Qiao didn't bother to mention the rich man, and went to the house where the female dependents were held. Throw the muddy rich man to the ground. The girls screamed in a mess. Zhao Qiao swept over with a cold eye, and suddenly reached out and pulled one out of those women.

It was a young woman, who was supposed to be a concubine of the rich king. The belly bulged out visibly, apparently pregnant.

Zhao Qiao looked at the rich man Wang, and smiled more and more lightly: "Your children and grandchildren are dead." I don't know if it's a man or a woman in this belly, but if it's a boy, it's your only descendant. It's a pity that he's going to bury you too. As he spoke, he grabbed the woman by the neck. The woman struggled desperately, but how could she break free from the palm of Zhao Qiao, a martial arts master?

Cheng Linghui couldn't stand it, and rushed over to snatch the woman out of Zhao Qiao's hands. He looked at the rich man and said, "If you are willing to tell me where the treasure you got from Fan Xiu is, I will spare these wives and daughters of yours." ”

The rich man closed his eyes fiercely, and it seemed that he really wouldn't say anything anyway. The way he looks also shows that Fan Xiu has something important in his hands. However, he would rather die than say it, and Cheng Linghui had no choice. You can't really kill his wives and daughters one by one to force him to comply.

Zhao Qiao said: "Third brother, it seems that we are destined to lose money this time." Just kill it. Lest there be long nights and dreams, and it will be troublesome to attract officers and soldiers. ”

Cheng Linghui looked at the rich man Wang: "I'll give you one last chance." ”

The rich man closed his eyes and trembled with pain, but he still refused to speak.

Cheng Linghui flipped her wrist and raised her dagger to stab at the woman. The woman said in a panic: "I said ......"

The rich man suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the woman, and his face turned dead gray.

The woman was so trembling that she couldn't stand up, and stumbled and said, "There is a secret passage in the back garden, and I once accidentally saw the old man come out of the secret passage. The good things of the lord are probably hidden there. ”

Cheng Linghui breathed a sigh of relief. Immediately ordered someone to go to the back garden to find a secret passage. Sure enough, an entrance was found.

The rich man's house has a secret room, and it is nothing to hide some rare treasures. But the thing in the rich man's secret room was unusual, it was a box of muskets, plus some ammunition. The rest of the nightcoats, swords, and crossbows were nothing in front of this box of muskets.

A rich man, he can't use so many guys to protect his family and home, right? What's more, Yan Jing, a guy who is usually sneaky, found a secret compartment in the secret room and found a roster from the secret compartment. Cheng Linghui opened it and took a look, and immediately closed it. Keep this roster close to you. Whoever sees this register is instructed not to reveal the slightest hint of his words.

Several people came out of the secret room. The soldiers guarding the rich king came and reported: "The rich man has killed himself by biting his tongue." ”

Cheng Linghui shook her head: "Why bother." Looking at Zhao Qiao: "You really killed all his children and grandchildren?" ”

Zhao Qiao glanced at her: "I'm just scaring him." ”

Cheng Linghui breathed a sigh of relief. Although she knew that after the things found in the rich man's house were presented today, the rich man's family would probably not be able to escape death. But she still couldn't bear to let them die at her own hands.

Lu Gongmei came for nothing this time. The rich man's house is so clean that I'm sorry for the way he looks like his brain is full of fat. However, Cheng Linghui's mood was not relaxed. She realized that she might be involved in a serious situation.

turned to think that Chang Jiwen was in Nandu, and Deng Ku was the only one by his side. If something changes, it's dangerous. On the other hand, he instructed people to report to the local county office. Let the county magistrate clean up the mess. On the one hand, he asked Zhao Qiao and Yanjing to go to the southern capital immediately to protect Chang Jiwen.

Shen Cong led people to escort the two sons of the rich man Wang and the concubine back to Luohekou. Because some things are beyond the scope of Chang Jiwen's ability to handle.

Cheng Linghui carried the roster in her arms, like a piece of coal. She couldn't sit still. At that moment, together with Lu Gongmei, the light horse rushed back to the mouth of the Luohe River first.

Back at the mouth of the Luohe River, Lu Gongmei was already tired. Cheng Linghui threw him down and went to find Su Tong, but was told that Su Tong had left the day before. Cheng Linghui kept going, following the trail of Su Tong's car.

A certain south is located in the plain, after the flood, the field is endless.

Cheng Linghui rode a horse to follow Su Tong's car, and no matter how much he was, he didn't rush normally and walked fast. I have been chasing for two days and three nights, looking around. Middle of nowhere. Su Tong's traces of driving are also gone here.

Cheng Linghui felt strange in her heart, and rode the horse forward for a while. The thorns were too dense for the horses to move forward. She had to get off the horse and find her way. Suddenly, I saw a bright yellow in the thorn bush.

Cheng Linghui crawled through the thorn bushes, and only then did she see that the bright yellow was a lock of yellow silk. The only people who can wear such materials are royals. Here, apart from Su Tong, Cheng Linghui couldn't think of anyone else.

After taking a few steps forward, I found a road hidden by wild grass. The rut marks are very new, and it is clear that Su Tong's car has not been driving long ago. Cheng Linghui really didn't understand what Su Tong was doing in this thorny and deserted place. She looked back and saw that the horses were obscured by thorns and were completely out of sight. I won't go back to lead the horse at the moment. Follow the ruts. Suddenly the eyes are bright. A canyon appeared on the flat ground.

The canyon is not deep, and standing on it, you can see Su Tong's yellow chariot parked at the bottom of the valley. But there were no horses.

Cheng Linghui didn't dare to be reckless, and slipped to the bottom of the valley under the cover of artemisia grass. After careful investigation, it was determined that there was no one here except Su Tong's chariot and honor guard.

There are human and horse footprints on one side of the canyon. Cheng Linghui followed.

The canyon gets deeper and deeper, and the more you go, the more open it gets. Later, what Cheng Linghui saw was another world. There is a high hill on the left and a lake on the right......

Cheng Linghui was stunned, how could this place be so familiar?

In the moment when she was stunned, the ground under her feet trembled slightly. Cheng Linghui said secretly: "Oops, I'm afraid I want to move." Because she was in an open place, she wasn't very nervous.

Suddenly, there was the sound of rushing water. Cheng Linghui looked up at the lake from afar, and saw that the lake that was still as flat as a mirror just now seemed to be boiling, tumbling and foaming. The surface of the water descends at a visible rate.

The trees on the hill next to the lake have also collapsed, as if something is trying to emerge from the ground.

Cheng Linghui subconsciously turned around and ran back. The ground was so jolting that she was flipped to the ground in an instant. She didn't care about anything, she was in a hurry, and even crawled and rolled in the direction she came in.

After climbing for a while, a muffled thunderous sound sounded underground. Cheng Linghui is very sure this time, this is the ground movement. Because of the same voice, she had heard before.

Maybe it was the trees on the high hill that fell into the lake and made a loud noise. Cheng Linghui subconsciously glanced back. I saw that the mountain collapsed and the ground cracked, and a bright yellow figure in the flying soil and rocks was like a kite with a broken line, fluttering up, and landing not far from the lake and not moving.

Cheng Linghui knew that at this time, that figure would not be anyone else except Su Tong.

She didn't think about it, she turned over and ran back. Stumbled to Su Tong's side, only to see him with his eyes closed tightly and his face covered in blood. I don't know if I'm still alive.

The lake is still falling, and the high hill continues to collapse. A large tree smashed into the roots and soil not far from the two of them. The flying sand and stones splashed on the body and hit the body, which hurt people.

Cheng Linghui couldn't take care of anything, dragged Su Tong and ran towards the entrance of the canyon. (To be continued.) )
