Chapter 139: Descending the Mountain
"No way!"
Hearing this voice, Xie Zhen really jumped up.
Third brother! How did he get here?
Her body froze, not daring to look back at Xie Yu.
Xie Yu had a calm face and slowly walked behind her.
Lao Pan and the others suddenly felt that their heads were as big as a fight, what day is today? How did you meet all these strange people?
"Who are you?" Dashi glared.
Xie Yu said lightly: "I'm Xie San." ”
Xie San? Xie Hao almost laughed out loud when she heard this name, but she was afraid that Xie Yu would find out the clue, so she had to endure it.
Who Xie San is, Lao Pan and they naturally don't know, but seeing that he rejected their plan before, as if he had been hiding there and eavesdropping for a long time, they were a little hostile to him in their hearts.
Seeing this, Xie Hao was afraid that they would have a conflict with Xie Yu, so he hurriedly said: "Don't be nervous, this is the third master of my house, he is a very good person, and your boss is hiding in his courtyard now." ”
"What?" Lao Pan was surprised: "It turns out that the boss is hiding in this son's place?" That's our benefactor! Benefactor! Please bow down to us! ”
As he spoke, he fell to his knees with a stern expression and kowtowed three times very respectfully.
The other beggars naturally followed his example and kowtowed, although Dashi was very unwilling, but he was still reluctantly knocked three times by Lao Pan's head.
They were tough when they treated the enemy, but when they faced their benefactors, they knelt down without the slightest hesitation, just because they were all about Archer's safety, and this alone was already very admirable to Xie Zhen.
She sighed softly, turned her head and asked Xie Yu, "Third Master, why did you come back?" ”
Xie Yu naturally wouldn't say that he came quietly because he couldn't worry about her, but said: "When I went down the mountain just now, I bumped into a woman carrying a man, and when I saw that she was not ordinary, I was afraid that something terrible would happen on this mountain, so I came to take a look." But I didn't expect to hear you speak here. ”
His words were so unmistakable that he explained why he was here, and reassured them that he had just arrived, and had not heard those secret conversations. This will undoubtedly save you a lot of trouble.
As for how the facts are. Lao Pan, they don't need to know at all.
Xie Zhen didn't doubt that there was him, but when he saw Ye Xunhuan and Yan Ming, he turned back, so he nodded and said, "So that's the case." However, Third Master, why did you say that my idea was not good? What better idea can't you have? ”
Xie Yu said: "Even if they can avoid the patrols of the fast hunters in the mountains. successfully hid in the people's house, but could they still escape the search and arrest of the yamen? Won't they eat? Since you want to live, there must be a lot of clues, and it is difficult to guarantee that those fast catchers will not catch the wind and shadows, so it is only a matter of time before they are caught, not only that, but I am afraid that it will also affect you at that time. ”
Xie Hao subconsciously wanted to say the words "I'm not afraid of being involved", but after thinking about it carefully, she was the young lady of the Xie family. It's nothing for her to suffer alone, but if the Xie family is involved and the Xie family is involved, then her sin will be great.
Thinking like this, the few words stuck in my throat are impossible to say.
Xie Zhen lowered her head, very depressed.
Lao Pan saw that she was embarrassed, but she was worried that she would be affected, and it would not be difficult for her to be strong, so she said: "What this Third Master Xie said is very reasonable, little boy, you better go." Leave us alone dead or alive. ”
"How's that going to work?" Xie Zhen shook her head and said, "If I ignore you, Archer will blame me if he knows." ”
Xie Yu, who had been silent for a long time, looked deeply at Xie Zhen, who was depressed, and sighed silently in his heart. He said softly: "I have an idea, but I don't know if you dare to give it a try." ”
Lao Pan said: "I don't know what method Xie Sangongzi said, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”
Xie Yu said: "I don't know if you have heard of 'the most dangerous place is the safest place'? ”
Lao Pan frowned and said, "What does this mean?" ”
Xie Yu said: "I want to ask you to hide in the prison first." ”
"In prison?" Dashi exclaimed, "You are actually going to send us to prison!" ”
Xie Zhen quickly understood what Xie Yu meant, and hurriedly explained for him: "Dashi, don't get excited first, listen to us first." Third Master, he doesn't really want you to go to jail, it's only temporary. ”
After she finished speaking, she cast a pleading look at Xie Yu and said, "Right? The third master? ”
Xie Yu nodded and said, "Yes, I want you to be wronged for a while." ”
Lao Pan is old and has seen more of the world than Dashi, so after a little reaction, he understood what Xie Yu meant, and only scolded Dashi in a deep voice: "Dashi, don't be rude." ”
Dashi glared at Xie Yu, full of reluctance.
Lao Pan said very respectfully: "Please also ask Third Prince Xie to tell us about this plan." ”
Xie Yu said: "In my opinion, no matter how you hide, it is impossible for you to really hide people's eyes and ears, sooner or later you will be arrested and they will find out, instead of waiting for them to arrest you, it is better to be passive and active, you yourself first go to the yamen to surrender, and temporarily live in prison for a few days, I am in it for you, I think you will not lose your life, and then I will let people go to find Bai Gongzi back, the left and right things are because of him, as long as he comes back, then a problem can be solved." It's not a good idea, but it's the safest way, but it's still inevitable that you'll have to suffer a little, and I don't know if you can endure it. ”
After hearing his words, Lao Pan's expression became more and more respectful, and he nodded very solemnly and said: "As long as you are willing to deal with our group of beggars, we will suffer no matter what!" ”
Hearing this, Dashi and their group of beggars who had no knowledge couldn't help but be moved by Xie Yu's words.
Dashi still couldn't help but provoke: "You are going around for us? What skills do you have to speak for us in front of the master of the yamen? ”
Xie Yu said lightly: "Just by my name." ”
"Name?" Dashi laughed exaggeratedly: "Is there any big origin of your name Xie San?" Lao Pan shouted at you, Xie Sangongzi, but he respected you, you really thought you were ......"
His laughter stopped suddenly, and his expression became very strange, as if he suddenly remembered someone.
Xie Sangongzi, how many Xie Sangongzi are there in this Lin'an City?
"You...... You ......" he stammered, "Are you the third son of Xie Sangong?" ”
Lao Pan slapped him on the head hard, hating iron and steel: "You only know now?" ”
But as soon as he heard the name Xie San, he guessed the origin of the person in front of him.
"Really...... Really? Oishi's eyes widened.
Xie Yuyun let out a light "um" breeze.
Dashi was completely dumbfounded, only thinking that his life was probably over, why did he collide with Xie Sangongzi?
"Lao Pan, you don't remind me!" He cursed under his breath.
Lao Pan gave him a blank look, which meant something like, "Who called yourself so stupid?" ”。
Xie Zhen looked at Lao Pan and the wilted Dashi with a disdainful face. looked at the other beggars who looked at Xie Yu with admiration on their faces, and some couldn't laugh or cry.
Now that they have Xie Yu's guarantee, then Lao Pan and they have no worries, and they will definitely go down the mountain together. So the group walked down the mountain.
Xie Zhen didn't expect that the group of catchers would still stay at the foot of the mountain, and when she saw them, her footsteps couldn't help but pause. It is one thing to let Lao Pan and the others go to the yamen to surrender themselves, but it is another thing to be arrested by this group of people and quickly arrested.
Sensing her uneasiness. Xie Yu, who was leading the horse, raised his eyebrows, raised his hand and threw the reins in his hand to her, and strode forward.
Lao Kuai and Xiao Deng, who had been whipped twice by Xie Yu before, felt that the wound on their faces hurt terribly when they saw him now, and they subconsciously wanted to dodge, but as soon as they saw the group of beggars following behind them, their waists stiffened again.
Xiao Deng had the courage to bite the bullet and said, "Third son, how can you be with this group of fugitives?" ”
Xie Yu's eyes narrowed, and he swept a cold look at him and said, "Are you accusing us of harboring fugitives?" ”
He was so domineering, so that Xiao Deng and they had this suspicion, and they didn't have the courage to admit it.
The old catcher said quickly: "What did the third prince say?" We don't mean that, Xiao Deng can't speak, and please don't be weird. ”
Xie Yu glanced at him lightly, nodded and snorted coldly: "You understand the matter, it seems that my whip should not have hit you." ”
The wound on Lao Zhukuai's face had already formed a bloody scab, and it was obviously painful, but he could only squeeze out a flattering smile at Xie Yu with an old face.
"After the third prince finishes speaking, he can receive a horsewhip from the third son, which is a blessing that others can't think of!"
Xie Zhen felt sick when she heard this sentence on the side.
"Good." Xie Yu nodded and smiled coldly.
"It's just ......," the old catcher said quickly, "I don't know where you're going to take them now, Third Prince?" ”
It's like we're going to get to the bottom of them. Xie Yu's face sank, and he shouted: "Presumptuous! You know you almost missed our big thing! ”
The old catchers were already frightened when they heard this scolding. Only subconsciously kneeling on the ground to plead guilty.
"The third prince is angry, it's the little ones."
Xie Yu sneered: "I'm just angry and scolding you, you are scared of this virtue, such courage can also handle cases?" I just don't believe in your rice buckets. That's why I learned where they were hiding before I went out in person, and first sent a little guy to find out the truth, who knows that you are good, you are stupid when you should be clever, and you are blind when you shouldn't be clever, and you actually stopped the little guy I sent. If I hadn't stopped you, I'm afraid we would have gone too late, and they would have escaped! When the time comes, I will see which of you can bear the blame! ”
What he said was very serious, if it weren't for Xie Zhen and Lao Pan, who knew the inside story, I was afraid that they would still think that what he said was the truth.
The old catcher has been bluffed.
Xiao Deng sneered: "That's really dangerous, fortunately, the third son, you successfully captured this group of fugitives, it's really worthy of ...... It's a ......."
He originally wanted to shoot a few sycophants, but then he thought that he had just slapped a sycophant, not only did he not get any benefits, but he also received a whip, but Xie Yu was a person who couldn't pat sycophants, so he didn't dare to say it anymore.
The old man hurriedly said: "Since the third prince has already caught this group of fugitives, then the rest of the matter will not be done by the third prince himself, just let a few of our brothers escort them back to the yamen for trial." ”
Xie Yu frowned and said, "What else is being tried?" Your yamen hasn't even caught the heads of their group of people, so what's the trial? Will it be interesting to judge this group of shrimp and crabs? Or are you going to just beat them to death in court? ”
Lao Zhu quickly hesitated: "What do you mean by the third son?" ”
Xie Yu snorted coldly: "I don't mean anything, you can do whatever you like, it has nothing to do with me, if you want to commit murder, you can do it, anyway, it's not me who killed people, and it won't be my turn to bear the blame when the time comes." By the way, I also heard that the eldest prince went out of the palace this time to observe the people's situation, and one of them will pass through our Lin'an City, you just beat people to death indiscriminately, maybe it will leave a deep impression on the eldest prince at that time. ”
The prince went out of the palace to pay a private visit to such confidential matters, and their group of fast catchers naturally would not hear the rumors, and when they heard Xie Yu's words, they immediately panicked, you must know that once such a thing as beating someone to death is found by the superiors, it will be lost!
They originally wanted to catch Lao Pan's group of beggars, but now that they have caught them, they feel like a hot potato, and they don't know whether to take them or not.
Lao Zhukuai begged with a bitter face: "Third son, you can do it well, show us the way!" Our brothers, I will be grateful for your great kindness all my life. ”
Xie Yu pretended to be profound: "It's not impossible to give you a little guidance, but you have to promise me that you will never spread this word, if I hear a little unfavorable tone for our Xie Mansion, don't blame me for being merciless to your subordinates." ”
Several catchers glanced at each other, and they all made a determined expression.
Xiao Deng said: "Third son, don't worry, our brothers are very strict-mouthed, if we say a word indiscriminately, we will not die well." ”
Xie Yu looked at the other people: "You are the same?" ”
A few people led by Lao Kuai immediately said: "If we reveal the slightest bit of mouth, we will let Lei Chop to death together!" Please also ask the third prince to make it clear. ”
Xie Yu was very satisfied with their gambling oath, so he continued: "This matter is actually very simple, you bring them back now, you don't have to try them first, just put them in prison, and you can't torture them, not only that, you also have to serve them with good food and drink." ”
"Serve them?" Xiao Deng only thought that he had heard it wrong, they were fast catchers, but they still had to serve a group of prisoners? This is simply nonsense!
Xie Yu glanced at him coldly and said, "What? You don't believe me? Or do you think I have a lot to do with them, that's why I said this? ”
Xiao Deng shrunk his neck and said, "Don't dare, don't dare, third son, please continue." ”
Xie Yu sneered: "I have already said it so clearly, why don't you use your pig brain to think about it, you treat prisoners preferentially, if this matter reaches the ears of the eldest prince, wouldn't the eldest prince be very happy?" ”
Lao Zhu quickly realized: "I see, the third son is really a clever plan!" ”
Xie Yu said: "It's good that you understand, now that I have instructed you, the next thing is to see what you do." ”
The old catcher nodded quickly and said, "The little ones know." ”
As he spoke, he took the lead in walking in front of Lao Pan and them, stretching out his hand to invite.
"Everyone, please."
Lao Pan, the eyes they looked at Xie Yu were simply a mess of admiration.
This is the first time that these beggars have heard the word "please" from the mouth of the catcher!
Alas, mom, this Xie San Gongzi is too good at fooling!
