Chapter 119: Companions

(There has been a change before, don't miss the previous chapter, book friends)

Guangsheng also guessed what Ji Gang was hesitating, and he quietly added to the fire, "What if the inferior function finds out that other guards are involved in this case?" ”

After three rounds of drinking, he was also slightly drunk, and said all the words he had expected a long time ago, "This case is complicated, even the White Lotus Sect and the Jinlan Society have intervened, and the Jinlan Society can transport people away without knowing it, how can it be possible if no one in the guards cooperates?" All the way through the checkpoints, and no clues were revealed, is this to say that there are no internal thieves to be trusted? ”

"The White Lotus Sect is nothing more than a group of mountain mobs pretending to be gods and ghosts, so there is nothing to worry about. Behind the Jinlan Society, there are those Jianwen evil ministers - the 36 guards of the Beijing camp, there must be people like them who support the Jianwen remnant party line! ”

Ji Gang's eyes suddenly lit up, what the emperor was most afraid of was the news of Emperor Jianwen, as long as this was the reason, he would definitely be able to agree!

Under the light of the dark night, the eyes of the two looked at each other, and suddenly sparks flew everywhere, and then they both laughed loudly, dried the last bit of wine, and threw down the wine glass.

A vigorous arrest storm swept through the capital was brewing and erupting at this moment!

*****

In the middle of the night, in an inn on the outskirts of Beijing, Boss Huang hurriedly packed up his baggage, left silver taels and notes for the shopkeeper on the table, then put on a felt hat, lowered the brim, and walked out of the courtyard.

A papier-mâché eaves lamp half-dead illuminated the alley in front of the inn, and the sound of barking dogs could be heard not far away.

Boss Huang walked out of the ground without touching the ground, but stopped in the next moment due to shock and fear-

The captain of the brocade-clothed guard, wearing a black robe and a long knife at his waist, was staring at him at the entrance of the alley, the light in his eyes cold and bloodthirsty.

Boss Huang turned around to run, and a chief flag officer wearing a flying fish suit and a vermilion luan belt appeared around the corner behind him.

He seemed to have made up his mind, closed his eyes and gritted his teeth—but the men in the darkness were faster, and they rushed up and pushed him to the ground, their front teeth slamming into the ground, and someone shoved the hilt of a knife into his mouth fiercely. A poison fell out mixed with four front teeth and blood.

"Take it away."

A cold and cruel sentence, and suddenly the person was tied up and carried away, leaving only the blood and front teeth in the ground, which looked more and more terrifying in the faint light, and the wild dog in the distance whimpered, as if he was so frightened that he ran away with his tail between his legs.

****

At dawn, there was already a long queue at the gate of the city, and there were all kinds of people pouring night incense, delivering water and delivery, and going to the city to buy vegetables.

A middle-aged man dressed in the uniform of a lieutenant of the prefectural guard came galloping on a horse.

Without waiting for the guards of the gate to ask, he stopped his horse and took out a passage document from his bosom. The little flag officer guarding the city gate was about to wave his hand, but his gaze stopped.

Smoke and dust billowed behind the man, as if a group of men and horses rushed over—

"Stop him, that man is a traitor!"

There was a shout from afar, and suddenly the soldiers clamoured, and like a whirlwind, they left the people who were being examined, and rushed to the horse to try to stop them, but the captain whipped him fiercely and rushed over, and immediately the ground was full of dead and wounded.

The gates closed slowly in a panic. When the man rushed to the door, there was only a slit left, and he jumped up and passed through it, a smile on his face—and the next moment, his body was shot by an iron arrow. He fell to the ground with a scream, and the city gate slammed into his face, causing blood to flow profusely.

"Take it away."

Jin Yiwei rushed in like a horse, tied people to the horses and disappeared quickly. All that was left was panicked civilians and a staggered list of dead and wounded soldiers.

****

Nearly three watches in the evening, in the secret room of Yue Xianglou, the people of Jinlan sat silently. The atmosphere was heavy.

Jing Yu sat on the low couch, and his face and expression couldn't be seen clearly when the gauze tent was down, "In the past few days, Jinyiwei has been acting frequently, arresting people everywhere, and there have been Boss Huang, Captain Yan, and Shi Inspector and others who have been arrested in succession. ”

Qin Yao also frowned, no longer in his usual relaxed state, "There are regular customers in the front of the mansion who came to watch my play, and I heard him say that Captain Yan found out that something was wrong and was arrested when he came to report to us. ”

Gong Yuchun was also worried, "The document for our operation was obtained by Shi Patrol, and even he was arrested, it seems that the situation is serious!" ”

Shi Patrol is a frequent visitor to Gong Yuchun Wanhualou, and those pass documents are what she asked her flower girl to tempt him to sign, although the clever setting will not be debunked easily, but if it is a strict interrogation by Jinyiwei, I am afraid that there will still be risks.

Speaking of this, she glared at Xiao Gu with a straight face - it was all caused by this little girl!

Jing Yu said in a deep voice: "Boss Huang also found that someone was watching him, and some people were secretly asking his men what goods they had done in Pingning Fang this time - this plan to save people really attracted great attention from Jinyiwei!" ”

Xiao Gu looked at his expression through the gauze tent, but found that he didn't even breathe at all - Boss Huang was his person, and now he was in prison and didn't know whether he was alive or dead, but he still didn't have a trace of emotion and worry.

If one day, the person who is arrested is me, I wonder if he is still so indifferent and calm?

Xiao Gu asked himself in his heart, and couldn't help but feel a little distracted.

She was full of complicated and tangled emotions for Jingyu in her heart, but Gong Yuchun on the side thought she was absent-minded, and after coughing loudly, Yin Yang said in a strange manner: "This is all a disaster caused by someone, and others have to endure hardships and die for you, don't you feel uncomfortable and ashamed in your heart?" ”

Xiao Gu didn't even look at her, and there was no embarrassment or hesitation in his expression, "We saved people from under the noses of Jinyiwei, this was originally a hornet's nest, and they must be strictly investigated." Among the people who were arrested, except for your stone inspector, the others were brothers and sisters of the Association, and they knew the seriousness of the matter when they participated in the whole plan. ”

Gong Yuchun rolled his eyes, pursed his lips and sneered: "You pushed it cleanly, and according to what you said, just watch them die?" ”

"Of course not, I'll take care of it!"

Xiao Gu replied categorically.

"Then I'll wait for your good news - don't just talk about it and delay in action!"

Gong Yuchun said sarcastically - somehow, she and Xiao Gu are not on the right track, and they have to quarrel a few words every time they meet.

"This doesn't bother you second sister, you better deal with the imperial eagle dog who is about to come to inquire."

"That's enough."

Jing Yu stopped the two women from choking each other, still in a cold state like a mountain, "The top priority now is to prevent the leakage of the personnel and secrets of the Jinlan Society. ”

Xiao Gu's heart sank-what he was thinking about was how to save people, but what Jingyu was worried about was leaking the organization's secrets.

As the head of the guild, this is what he should be thinking about, but how can he prevent secrets from being leaked?

Is it to rescue people in time, or ...... Simply making it impossible to speak?

In this world, only the dead cannot speak.

Thinking of this, Xiao Gu chuckled in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "What do you want to do?" ”

This question was abrupt and rude, but it revealed a strange tacit understanding, everyone felt a little surprised, Gong Yuchun looked at the two of them back and forth, doubts appeared on his face, only Qin Yao, who knew everything, sighed secretly in his heart.

"Try to save people first, if not, I hope they can put the organization first and relieve themselves of the pain."

Jingyu's answer was as cold and harsh as Xiao Gu imagined.

How does this work?!

She shouted silently in her heart, but she couldn't say a word.

Intellectually, she knew that Dao Jingyu's decision was right, the eagle dogs of Jinyiwei were all veterans of torture and interrogation, and they were familiar with all kinds of unscrupulous methods to make people confide the truth, and if people fell into their hands, they were afraid that they would not be able to hold out for three days!

As a last resort, you can only kill them, which can be regarded as a pleasure.

But emotionally speaking, she couldn't accept that such cold, killing words from her companion came from the mouth of her childhood sweetheart!

He used to be so gentle, upright, sincere and friendly!

Xiao Gu would even rather get his hands dirty and get bloody, and he couldn't imagine that he would give such an order!

She looked at him in the gauze tent blankly, only to feel that the person in front of her was familiar and unfamiliar, and the corners of her eyes gradually became sour, but she couldn't cry!

Her heart was in turmoil, and she only heard her own voice saying, "I will definitely save people, definitely!" ”

In any case, she didn't want him to turn into a vicious demon who killed his companions!

****

After the meeting, Xiao Gu was about to leave, but the second sister pulled her sleeve, and she was gentle and quiet, her beautiful eyes flashed, but she was too shy to speak.

Xiao Gu suddenly realized, "Do you want to see Xiao An?" ”

The second sister nodded, although she tried her best to control it, her eyes were still full of tears, "After so many years, I just want to see her and see what she looks like when she grows up......"

Xiao Gu sighed, very embarrassed - Jin Yiwei was searching everywhere, and it was undoubtedly very dangerous to take her to visit Xiao An and the others who were hidden at this time.

But when she saw the red, swollen and eager teary eyes of her second sister, she couldn't say anything.

Turning his head, as expected, Qin Yao was standing at the door waiting-there was a tacit understanding between the two without any words, he smiled slightly: "Get in the car." ”

The carriage was rolling and went, and the second sister was silent all the way, but a pair of plain hands rubbed the corners of her skirt tightly, showing that she was extremely nervous in her heart.

Suddenly, there was the sound of horses' hooves, Xiao Gu hurriedly pulled the second sister and lowered her head to hide, the knight approached quickly, and there was only one person listening to the voice, at this time, the moon wheel appeared from the clouds, illuminating his face, Xiao Gu saw from the flying curtain that it was clearly Yuan Jin!

Between the lightning and flint, the eyes of the two met, and Yuan Jian suddenly slowed down his horse's speed, staring at the carriage window with blazing eyes.

Did he see himself?

Xiao Gu speculated in his heart, but strangely he didn't worry much - Yuan Jian helped three times and twice, without even asking, this attitude of protecting him to the end made Xiao Gu can't help but classify him as a friend, but in fact, what his background is, Xiao Gu doesn't know what to do.

The sound of horses' hooves sped up again, Yuan Jin galloped away, Xiao Gu poked his head out of the car and watched him leave, while Qin Yao, who was silently watching all this, was thoughtful, "Do you know this person?" (To be continued......)
