Chapter 236: On the eve of returning to Beijing

A scream like killing a pig came out of Yan Sibao's mouth with an uncontrollable howl, and he saw that the big face was also covered with beads of sweat the size of beans, and a pair of small eyes were about to come out.

And the reason why he revealed such a painful and almost hideous face was because the pain of removing his nails was indeed far beyond the scope of what he could bear.

Seeing that his right hand was now drenched in blood, and the life-threatening pliers were removed to his fourth finger, Yan Sibao's spirit was about to collapse, and he cried out in horror:

"Take that tong away, I'll tell you anything, I'll say anything."

Yan Sibao is a person who can't stand the punishment, Xiao Jinxuan has long seen this, and she knows that the other party is absolutely unbearable for the pain of removing her nails alive.

And the reason why Xiao Jinxuan is so confident is that in her previous life, when she was imprisoned in the dungeon of King Ling's Mansion, her good sister-in-law Xiao Jinyu also ordered someone to abuse her so cruelly.

And the reason why the other party took away her concubine position and persecuted her so much was only because Xiao Jinxuan's plain hands were extremely good at making medicinal snacks, and they were also quite loved by Ji Lingfeng.

For this point, Xiao Jinyu, who came to the palace for the first time at that time, was already jealous and hateful, and although she tried to cook delicious food herself, she was always inferior to Xiao Jinxuan in this regard.

Therefore, Xiao Jinyu, who has always been conceited and proud, ordered people to remove Xiao Jinxuan's nails one by one and completely abolished her hands.

In this way, the other party will not be able to cook better food than her, and Xiao Jinyu will not feel that she is being compared to a concubine sister in cooking medicinal food.

Although the methods are cruel, Xiao Jinyu is twisted in her heart, and in this way, she has preserved her so-called self-esteem and face.

So the nails were removed, and the pain of ten fingers connected to the heart, Xiao Jinxuan knew better than anyone else, seeing that Yan Sibao was willing to recruit, she had never had the habit of torturing others for fun, so she immediately stopped the execution, and asked in a cold voice:

"My question is actually very simple, when was the vein of Montenegro discovered, Zhou Xiantai mined for a few more years, and where was the refined black iron transported, as long as you answer my questions, I will give you a pain."

Yan Sibao, who was inhaling the cool air in pain, looked at Xiao Jinxuan's gentle expression, which made him feel more terrifying than seeing the real Hades.

Immediately, he didn't dare to delay and hurriedly replied: "Miss Xiao, the specific time when the mine was discovered is earlier than the small one who took office, and I have been the county commander in Surabaya County for five or six years, and I will privately help to transport black iron three or four times every year, but when I leave Surabaya County, the prince's men and horses are responsible for receiving it, and I really don't know where the small one is going." ”

Yan Sibao couldn't stand the punishment, this would be frightened, and Xiao Jinxuan was not afraid that the other party would lie and deceive her.

What's more, Yan Sibao is a petty official who is not in the stream, and Zhou Xiantai does not leak too many secrets to the other party, which is also expected by Xiao Jinxuan.

And as long as she knows that this mine is indeed owned by Zhou Xiantai, and how much black iron does the other party transport out every year, this is enough for her, as for how to investigate thoroughly, she thinks it is safer to discuss with Zhou Xianrui after returning to Beijing.

And Guo Yi, who was responsible for raiding the Yan family, had already returned to his life very quickly.

Looking at Yan Sibao, who was holding hands on the ground and wailing, Guo Yi's eyes couldn't help but narrow, and he looked at Xiao Jinxuan with a strange expression.

When they first met, Guo Yi and Xiao Jinxuan had a long talk, and they learned each other's knowledge of the past and the present, and their incisive views on political power.

When they joined forces again to circumvent the three hundred people in Qibei, Xiao Jinxuan's majestic atmosphere shocked everyone's momentum, and Guo Yi was deeply convinced, and he was willing to risk his death for the other party.

But now that he is looking at Xiao Jinxuan, he didn't frown, and ordered someone to pull out Yan Sibao's nails, this method is not an exaggeration to call it capital punishment, although it is not fatal, but it is even worse than death.

With such a ruthless act, Guo Yi believes that many men may not be able to do it, but Xiao Jinxuan did it without any burden.

This will Guo Yi really admire the five bodies to the ground, as the saying goes, those who make great things are informal, and he can see that this handsome daughter will definitely not be in the pool in the future, just with the other party's chips and heart, although she is a woman, she will definitely have something to do.

If Guo Yi regarded Xiao Jinxuan as a confidant or even his Bole before, then now he really has a bit of a desire to follow.

As soon as she saw Guo Yi coming back, Xiao Jinxuan immediately smiled faintly, and then said calmly:

"The errand is done quickly, since you are back, you are also responsible for this side, Yan Sibao and all the family members, how to deal with it is up to Guo Yi and you to decide, with me and the royal king to carry it for you, just let it go, as long as you can appease the people of this county, you want all the lives of the Yan family, and I will agree."

Yan Sibao has been smuggling black iron for Zhou Xiantai for many years, and Xiao Jinxuan does not intend to leave his life behind to correct that Prince Tai in the future.

However, Yan Sibao knew too little after all, and there was no direct evidence in his hand, which could confirm that he was working for Zhou Xiantai, not to mention that they had now captured Qi Bei, and with the cronies of the Prince's Mansion, his confession was much more powerful than Yan Sibao.

In addition, Xiao Jinxuan, who is a suitable talent, has already made an appointment with the people of Zhuluo Town, and will give them the two evils in addition to this Surabaya County, so Yan Sibao, a witness, is dispensable anyway, so it is better to kill him directly, so as to appease the people.

The things that should be done have been done, and Xiao Jinxuan, who has explained everything well, is now very tired.

Anyway, she still trusts Guo Yi's ability, and she has the heart to further try the other party's ability, so she also became the shopkeeper, and accompanied by Fang Maoqing, she returned to Zhao Laohan's home from the beginning.

And besides, this Guo Yi did not live up to Xiao Jinxuan's expectations, although it was the first time to take over such a complicated matter, she handled it in an orderly manner.

Afterwards, Xiao Jinxuan learned that Guo Yi first pressed Yan Sibao's family in front of the yamen, and called all the people in Zhuluo Town by beating gongs and drums.

Then he beheaded Yan Sibao in public, as well as his mother, Yan Pozi, who was also evil, and his only son Yan Kuan.

However, the other party's wife and daughter Guo Yi didn't really kill them all, but just asked them to change out of silk and satin, put on the patched clothes of the people, and did not allow them to carry a tael of silver, and then drove them out of Zhuluo Town.

Guo Yi's practice of killing evil officials and showing mercy outside the law really won the unanimous applause of the people of Zhuluo Town.

Then Guo Yi distributed all the silver and two jewels confiscated from Yan Mansion to the people, and vigorously publicized them, these are the merits of Xiao Jinxuan and Zhou Xianyu, and for a while, the reputation of the two in Surabaya County was simply high.

And the next good news came one after another, Zhou Xianyu leveled the Black Mountain Village, not only subdued all the people and horses inside, but also accidentally discovered the missing men in Zhuluo Town.

It turned out that in recent years, because of the mining of iron ore in Montenegro, as the pit digs deeper and deeper, more and more labor is needed, so the people left behind in the cottage have set their eyes on the Zhuluo Town, which is closest to Montenegro.

So just like when Zhou Xianyu came to Zhuluo Town, he speculated that these soldiers who were born in the regular army of the Great Zhou Dynasty and now have become the left-behind soldiers and horses of Zhou Xiantai's private soldiers, because they know well about the black iron mine, they can't leak the slightest rumor, so they took advantage of the dark night to put on a dragon and snake formation, deliberately pretending to be ghosts to kidnap the young and strong laborers in the town, and enslave them all year round.

Now that the Black Mountain Village is broken, those who are lucky not to be enslaved and tired to death can be regarded as rescued and can go home safely, and among these fateful people, there is Zhao Laohan's son who has been missing for many years.

The father and son reunited after a long absence, Zhao Laohan was really hoarse and cried, and pulled his son, so he gave Xiao Jinxuan and Zhou Xianyu kowtow again and again, and they couldn't pull up.

And now in fact, the people of Zhuluo Town, who do not have the same mentality as Zhao Laohan, so they learned that Xiao Jinxuan and others, after resting for two days, are now about to leave for Beijing, and immediately everyone spontaneously rushed to the courtyard of the Zhao family, ready to send off the great benefactor of the town, and many of them have been excited to shed tears.

Almost Xiao Jinxuan was dressed up, Zhou Xianyu bought a new splendid Luo skirt for her, and the moment she opened the door and walked out, she was immediately surrounded by the people, and handed over all the gifts she had prepared for her departure.

And looking at everyone now, some of them are carrying a small bamboo basket with their own eggs, some are sending a basket of fresh autumn bamboo shoots, and some are even carrying half of the pork.

Several old women who are old and have been united with their sons since the beginning of the year also sent the soles of their shoes and the dried vegetables they dried at home to Xiao Jinxuan.

Looking at the enthusiasm of the people in front of her, although the things they sent may not add up to Xiao Jinxuan, a pearl hairpin on weekdays is worth a lot, but this sincere and simple heart still moved her very much.

immediately didn't want to brush off everyone's kindness, although Xiao Jinxuan basically didn't use all these things, but he still ordered someone to take them all quickly.

Then, under the protection of Zhou Xianyu, she was able to pass through the crowd and come to the carriage, and then slightly bowed to the people who came to see them off, and gave a decent and dignified blessing.

"You don't want to send it again, speaking of which, we disturbed everyone when we came, and your hearts have been accepted, so please disperse."

Hearing this, Zhao Laohan had already walked out of the crowd with tears in his eyes, and then saw him come to the front and kneel down again, but fortunately, Zhou Xianyu was quick and forcibly supported him again.

Seeing that Zhao Laohan's family was about to kneel down collectively to thank themselves, Xiao Jinxuan smiled helplessly, then hugged the old man and said softly:

"Daddy, what are you doing, I have lived in your house for all these days, thanks to your intake, His Royal Highness can recuperate from his injuries in peace, if you are knocking at us, it will be too much of an outside."

didn't give Zhao Laohan a chance to thank him again, Xiao Jinxuan said with a smile:

"If you really want to thank me, Jinxuan has something to bother you to nod your head, I don't know what you think Guo Yi's character is, but she is worthy of being your old grandson-in-law."
