Chapter 42: Captured
87_87437 Immediately several officers and soldiers came forward with ropes and tied the arms of the three men and dragged them aside. Zhong Ziyuan didn't dare to struggle, but asked in a puzzled voice, "Why did Guo Shilang tie us up?" ”
Guo Chengsi looked at them condescendingly, smiled coldly, and said: "The three of you are suspected of colluding with the remaining three ghosts of the giant bandit 'Eight Ghosts in Shu', intending to rob the prison, who will you arrest if you don't arrest?" He didn't bother to listen to Zhong Ziyuan, waved his hand, and said, "Rush in and take down the thief." ”
"Yes." Hundreds of people responded together, how powerful the momentum was, Zhong Ziyuan and the three of them only felt that their ears were buzzing. I saw Guo Chengsi say something to the older generals beside him, and then he also turned over and dismounted, and strode into the courtyard.
Zhong Ziyuan hurriedly shouted, "Wait, military masters, please wait for a while." It's a pity that no one paid attention to her call, only a few soldiers standing beside her sneered and said, "What are you talking about, if you have something to say, let's wait until the lobby of the criminal department!" ”
I heard a sudden exclamation from inside: "Hey, there are a lot of jewelry and jade on the ground." ”
"Aren't these two people He Xiangu and Lu Dongbin among the eight ghosts in Shu! Why did they all fall here? ”
"It seems that the accounts are unevenly divided, and the nest is reversed."
Immediately afterwards, there were several muffled sounds of "pop, pop". Zhong Ziyuan and Cardamom, Qingdai couldn't help but shrink their necks, it seems that many soldiers in it are also addicted to the drug.
I heard that Guo Chengsi shouted: "Those jewelry are smeared with drugs, hurry up and throw them away." Then there were a few more muffled sounds, and it seemed that someone had won the lottery again.
Zhong Ziyuan hurriedly shouted: "Guo Shilang, not only are there drugs on those jewelry, but now the entire inn is full of drugs, you must not break in like this." Her words caused a lot of noise in the courtyard. One of the soldiers standing beside her hurriedly pressed down her head and shouted, "Shut up, don't bewitch the crowd here." ”
Zhong Ziyuan had been pressed to the ground by the soldier, and the dirty water on the ground was stained on her cheeks and gagged her mouth. Seeing this, Cardamom broke free of the suppression on his body like an angry little beast and crashed headlong into the soldier who was torturing Zhong Ziyuan.
The soldier was defenseless and was nearly knocked over by Cardamom. He couldn't help but be furious, raised the scabbard in his hand and smashed it at her headlessly. Cardamom gritted her teeth and lay on Zhong Ziyuan regardless of it, bearing it in a muffled voice. Qingdai was frightened, but her shoulders were pressed by someone, and she couldn't break free, so she had to shout in fear: "Don't fight, don't fight, you will kill her." ”
I saw the soldier with a hideous face and said: "You colluded with the giant bandits in Shuzhong, even if you were killed, what matter." As he spoke, he became more and more ruthless. The rest of the soldiers who were guarding them together felt that this man was too heavy, and they felt a little unbearable. But after listening to his words, I also felt reasonable, so I didn't bother to pay attention to it.
Zhong Ziyuan listened to the dull popping sound on her body, her heart was like a knife, and she struggled and said to Cardamom: "Hurry up, he will really kill you." ”
Cardamom gritted her teeth and said stubbornly: "No, I'm not afraid of beating with rough skin and thick flesh." Childe is a daughter and can't be tortured by them. ”
"What a golden body, if it falls into my hands, you are like a mustard." The soldier laughed wilder, and he did it mercilessly. There were a few times when she even wanted to hit the faintly exposed half of Zhong Ziyuan's head, but she didn't succeed because she kept moving around.
Zhong Ziyuan was in a hurry and wanted to lift the cardamom on his body. But Cardamom pressed her with all her strength and didn't let her move. It's just that the blood overflowing from the corner of her mouth has slowly flowed into Zhong Ziyuan's neck.
Zhong Ziyuan shouted in despair: "No" Could it be that the three of them did not die in the hands of the bandits, but they were going to die in the lynching of the officers and soldiers?
"Stop, who allowed you to lynching without permission?" Just when Zhong Ziyuan was full of despair, Guo Chengsi's cold and angry voice came from his ears. The raging soldier was shocked, hurriedly stopped, and clenched his fists in defense: "Lord Qiyu Shilang, this kid is not honest, and he is still here to confuse the public. ”
Bang bang, Zhong Ziyuan's heart was beating fast. She was already vaguely aware of what was wrong, and the life and death of the three of them were already in a thought. From a distance, she heard Guo Chengsi say lightly: "He didn't have a gossip to confuse the public, and it was indeed full of smoke." You take these three men to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, and I will interrogate them myself overnight. ”
"Yes." Through a touch of viciousness in the eyes of the random rampaging soldier, he reached out to grab Zhong Ziyuan's master and servant who were stacked together, but Zhong Ziyuan barely raised her head, although the dirty water on the ground blurred her vision, she still shouted with her eyes half-closed: "Guo Shilang, do you want to find the ghost who slipped through the net?" ”
The soldier was stunned for a moment, and then said fiercely: "You can leave these words to the prison of the Criminal Department." He stretched out his big hand like a fan and grabbed Cardamom's neck, lifted her aside, and tried to grab Zhong Ziyuan below. Zhong Ziyuan shouted in a shriek, regardless of it: "Guo Shilang, the remaining ghost is right in front of you." If you leave, he will be like a bird in the mountains and forests, a fish in the sea, and there will be nowhere to be found. ”
Zhong Ziyuan had no way to see, so he had to prick up his ears to listen. Sure enough, it didn't take long for her to hear the "pop" sound of leather boots stepping on the ground and water, and Guo Chengsi's cold voice sounded in her ears: "Say, where is he?" ”
Although his eyes were painful from the stagnant water, Zhong Ziyuan still tried to open his eyes and shouted at the vague figure in front of him: "Our master and servant three escaped from the hands of the gangsters by luck, and they also used tricks to stun two of the ghosts, indirectly destroying their plans. If the villain thinks about it carefully, only the remaining ghost will hate us to the bone, and will be so eager to take our lives. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes were on the soldier who was abusing Zhong Ziyuan and Cardamom in every way. Even Guo Chengsi squinted and looked at him suspiciously. The man's face turned pale, and he hurriedly defended: "Lord Squire, the lowly duty is wronged, obviously this kid is dissatisfied with the lowly duty who beat his servant just now, so he will talk nonsense here to frame the lowly position, please be clear." ”
As soon as his words fell, Zhong Ziyuan immediately said in a loud voice: "Guo Shilang only needs to ask if there are other military masters around him who know this person, or ask him to tell his official position, number, and boss's name, and he can know the authenticity." ”
The soldier's face suddenly turned pale, his mouth opened but he didn't know what to say, so he had to lower his head, but his triangular eyes were grunting vigorously, obviously there was a ghost in his heart.
The original five-point doubt in Guo Chengsi's heart, seeing that he couldn't refute it, immediately turned into nine points. He pointed at the man with his whip and said, "Since you have nothing to say, come and take him down." ”
The man raised his eyes and looked not far away, and the accomplice who had been tied up and carried out by Wuhuada, secretly spat and cursed. By this time, someone had begun to approach him, and a hand had already pressed on his shoulder. He laughed wildly three times and said, "If I want to catch you Lan Cai and Grandpa, I'm afraid it's not so easy." With a wave of his hands, countless powdery smoke immediately emitted from his robe, and the smoke still had a faint fragrance.
Zhong Ziyuan smelled this familiar smell and immediately shouted, "Be careful of the smoke." Although she quickly warned her, Lan Cai and the nearest soldiers still fell down the road. But it was just these soldiers, fortunately, Guo Chengsi reacted quickly, he immediately covered his mouth and nose and retreated more than a dozen steps, cleverly avoiding the range of those smoke.
Although Lan Caihe's mist is domineering, it is not as rebellious as Zhong Ziyuan's drug. It was outside and the drizzle washed away, and the smoke was immediately dispersed. It's just that he also won a chance to escape.
It's just that he hates Zhong Ziyuan at the moment, and he only wants to take her life. If it weren't for her repeated destruction, the three of them wouldn't be here today. With a "brush", he drew his saber, and slashed at Zhong Ziyuan on the ground with a hideous face.
There was a cry of exclamation, and everyone thought that the unlucky ghost on the ground would surely die. A trace of evil aura flashed in Guo Chengsi's eyes, and he raised his right hand and slashed down in the void. A chilling arrow pierced the sky and flew out from behind him, shooting like lightning towards Lan Caihe's right shoulder socket.
The arrow was extremely fast, accurate, and powerful, Lan Caihe's blade had just touched Zhong Ziyuan's hair, and the arrow drilled into his shoulder like a poisonous dragon, and the huge force flew backwards with him for several meters, until the arrow was nailed to the big tree behind him with the person. Lan Caihe screamed loudly, tilted his head, and actually fainted.
Duan Ling carried a huge bow on his back and walked out of the darkness with an expressionless face. Rong Xi followed behind him with a quiver, showing off his might, quite a bit of a fox and a fake tiger. Guo Chengsi gave him a thumbs up from afar, and he just hooked the corners of his mouth.
This qiē came too quickly, and Lan Cai and Zhong Ziyuan, who were unable to move on the ground, were lambs to be slaughtered by him, but in the blink of an eye, he himself became a fish on someone's board. This feng shui is inevitably turning too fast.
No one expected such a scene to happen, and after a moment's pause, deafening cheers immediately rang out all around. Zhong Ziyuan struggled on the ground, trying to sit up several times, but without success. At this time, a pair of hands grabbed her arm, helped her to sit up, and gently wiped the sewage from her eyes.
Zhong Ziyuan blinked, and finally saw clearly that it was Guo Chengsi who helped him up. He looked at Zhong Ziyuan's black eyes that were as bright as stars, and said apologetically: "I'm really sorry to let you be wronged." After speaking, he untied the rope tied to Zhong Ziyuan's arm with his own hands.
Zhong Ziyuan looked at him stunned, feeling infinite grievances, fear, and panic, all of which hit his heart. She threw her arms around his neck and began to cry.
Guo Chengsi was stunned for a moment, then patted her back with some amusement, and said, "Okay, okay, it's all over." Those thieves will no longer be able to hurt your lords and servants. He didn't expect that this little guy, who was calm, witty, and brave before, would actually lose his posture like this once he was out of danger.
After Zhong Ziyuan cried enough, he realized that something was wrong. She hurriedly withdrew the arm hanging on Guo Chengsi's neck, sniffed, and said hoarsely: "Guo Shizi really doesn't remember me?" Last summer, at the foot of Fahua Mountain on the outskirts of Beijing, I also helped you solve the venom of the five-step snake. ”
"Huh!" Guo Chengsi looked at her carefully a few times, and asked in surprise: "Could it be that you are the kid who rolled down the hillside when he was collecting medicine that day, made a muddy face, and alarmed the five-step snake to bite me?" ”
Zhong Ziyuan choked at first, then she raised her sleeves, wiped the stains on her face, nodded vigorously, and said confidently: "That's right, it's me." ”
Guo Chengsi smiled predictively and said, "Great, I just want to settle accounts with your kid!" ”。
