Chapter 68: The Dust Falls

"What a handsome skill, are you Jinyiwei?" Mrs. Yao adjusted her breathing and asked coldly.

"Yes, this son is Jinyi Weinan Town, Fusi Baihu Ning Zuer, are you tied up by yourself? Let's let Ben Gongzi take you down. Although Ning Zuer still had a smile on her face, her eyes had become very solemn.

"Just you? When the old lady dominates the rivers and lakes, you don't know which mother's womb you are in! Mrs. Yao sneered.

"Do you think you can run today?" Ning Zu'er clasped her hands and was on high alert.

"Then try-" As soon as the last word landed, Mrs. Yao had already risen into the air, and her whole body strength surged out, and the mandarin duck swords in both hands were pasted together in a cross shape, creating a huge cross-shaped light curtain.

Ning Zuer only felt that the strong wind was blowing on his face, and the cold light was dazzling, and he knew that the other party was going to use a trick "Killing Cross Slash". At that moment, he gathered all his strength, and the three-foot Qingfeng in his hand let out a dragon groan, and sent out a dazzling sword light like a meteor catching the moon and bursting away towards the cross-shaped light curtain that swept over like a violent wind.

There was a loud bang, followed by a "Titica" sound. The sword had been twisted, and the cross-shaped light curtain was unabated, striking Ning Zu'er's body. Seeing that Ning Zuer was about to be torn into four pieces by this light curtain, the light curtain suddenly disappeared, and the Senhan sword blade of the Mandarin Duck Sword came to an abrupt end at a point away from Ning Zuer's face, and Ning Zuer's clothes and long hair were stirred by the strong wind and fluttered in the wind. Ning Zu'er's resolute eyes stared at Mrs. Yao without blinking, and Mrs. Yao's figure seemed to be frozen, her eyes bulged, her mouth was wide open, and her throat made a ho-ho sound. At the throat, the tip of a three- or four-inch-long sword pierced deep into it.

"Dang Chang", the mandarin duck double sword fell to the ground, and then there was a plop, and Mrs. Yao's body fell to the sky.

Ning Zuer breathed a sigh of relief and threw the half-truncated sword in his hand on the deck.

With the sound of hooves, Yang Muyun rode a horse and led more than a dozen catchers to gallop on the southbound avenue by the canal.

"There are many checkpoints in the north, she won't go to the north, Su Yue said that she wants to go back to her hometown in Yiyang, then she will definitely go south." Yang Muyun thought in his heart, and the reins in his hand shook violently.

"My lord, there seems to be a big ship docked ahead." Next to him, a fast-catching horsewhip on horseback pointed forward.

Yang Muyun looked at it with great eyes, and saw a huge shadow on the shore about a hundred zhang ahead.

"Let's go, go over and have a lookβ€”" Yang Muyun waved his horsewhip.

......

When the child was in the north, the Ganlin Temple in the north of Huai'an City was already brightly lit, and every entrance and exit gate of this temple was guarded by the yacha who held the staff with open flames. The three classes of officials held torches in one hand and knives in the other hand searched every corner of the temple.

The monks of Ganlin Temple were all concentrated in the Daxiong Treasure Hall, He Dongxun looked at the Buddha statue of Shakyamuni Buddha with a solemn appearance, his brows were still tightly locked, and the old monk Jin Chan had not yet been found.

"My lord, the little one found a few women in the basement of the abbot's meditation room and brought them here." A catcher led four women who were crying with pear blossoms and rain to the Daxiong Treasure Hall.

He Dongxun glanced at them and asked for their names, and sure enough, they were several women who had been lost during this period of time. One of them is Cao Shuisheng's wife, Yun Niang, and a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl, who is the daughter of a man on a stretcher today.

"Then the old monk Jin Chan still hasn't found it?" He Dongxun was a little anxious.

"Adults, the small ones are still searching, and in addition, the small ones have found incense, as well as several large jars of black ointment......"

......

"Master, slow down." The little novice helped Master Jin Chan to get down from the carriage tremblingly, and then moved step by step towards a small canopy boat by the river. Behind them, a fat monk with a long beard followed him with a large box from the carriage.

After the three of them got into the boat, the fat monk with a long beard picked up his oars and rowed towards the center of the river.

Master Jin Chan sat on the boat, gasped for breath, looked at the starry fires in the distance on the shore in horror, and urged: "Row, hurry-"

"Yes, Master." The fat monk stepped up his efforts to manipulate the ground.

Seeing that it was far away from the riverbank, Master Jin Chan Fang breathed a sigh of relief, "It's finally safe." ”

"Master, drink saliva." The little novice handed over a water bladder.

Master Jin Chan took two sips and couldn't help scolding: "That Du Yueniang is really ruthless, relying on her being the flag master of the sect, she not only wants to take away the treasury silver of the Salt Transportation Division, but also takes away all the silver that Lao Gu has worked so hard to earn." As he spoke, he patted the box next to him, "Fortunately, I stole a box of gold by my side, otherwise, even if I escaped, I would have to ask for food." ”

"It's still Master's clever plan." The little novice boasted.

"This time we have to go a little farther, Nanzhili can't stay, let's go west to Henan, rebuild a temple there, and start all over again." Master Jin Chan said with a smug smile.

"Master has great ambitions, and he will definitely be able to ...... again Ahh

"Guangyuan, what are you going to do?" Master Jin Chan stared in horror at the fat monk with a sinister smile on his face. The fat monk's beard kept shaking, and the dagger in his hand was still dripping with blood.

"Master, if you escape, the government will send a sea fishing document, and you can't escape with this box of gold, so it's better to give it to me." Guangyuan's eyes showed a fierce light.

"Guangyuan, I treat you well, you dare-" Before he finished speaking, the blood-dripping dagger had been slammed into his chest.

Guangyuan snorted, "The dead thief is bald, he has done everything that hurts heaven and reason, Lao Tzu has done the right thing for heaven and accepted you for God." ”

Master Jin Chan's eyes widened, his lips moved a few times, and he remained motionless.

Two bodies were dropped on the "plop" canopy boat, which spread out two ripples in the river, and the boat soon disappeared into the night.

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

"Why are you here?" This was the first thing Yang Muyun said to Ning Zuer after getting on the boat.

"I said I miss you, do you believe it?" Ning Zuer's pair of jewel-like shining eyes narrowed.

"Ning Gongzi laughed again," Yang Muyun felt a chill behind him, "Is this the case that Lord Shen sent to you?" ”

"How can I have Brother Yang's ability, I can go and find the case by myself." The corners of Ning Zuer's mouth hooked, noncommittal.

Yang Muyun didn't know how to communicate with him for a while, and said to the catchers behind him: "You all go on the boat and search to see if the stolen goods are there?" ”

The catchers responded in unison and dispersed.

"Brother Yang is really not an ordinary capable, he is in charge of the position of Nanzhen Fusi, but he is doing errands in Huai'an Mansion, and this Yang Baihu is about to become the head of Yang Zhu." Ning Zuer didn't know whether to praise or ridicule, and Yang Muyun's face was red and white.

"Mrs. Yao?" Yang Muyun saw Du Yueniang, who had been dead for a long time, lying on the deck, and exclaimed.

"Do you recognize her?" Ning Zuer asked.

"She is the wife of Yao Chuxi, the wife of Lord Yao, the same acquaintance of the Lianghuai Salt Transportation Division."

"I'm afraid you don't know her identity," Ning Zu'er rolled her eyes, "Do you remember the Luzhou Guanyin Sect?" She is Du Yueniang, the owner of the Guanyin Sect's Flame Banner. ”

"She is really a member of the Guanyin Sect, so Lord Yao ......"

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps behind him, "My lord, the small one has checked, and the boat is full of silver." "A catcher came up to report.

"My lord, the boatmen on the boat have all been knocked unconscious with heavy hands, but this little girl has just woken up, and we have brought her here." Two catchers came to him with a girl in red.

The girl in red's face turned pale, but Yang Muyun still recognized her at a glance: "Miss Yao." ”

"Flag Master-" Seeing Du Yueniang's corpse, the girl in red let out a sad cry.

"Take it down!" Yang Muyun frowned.

"Young Master Ning, I don't know how you are going to deal with this matter now?" Yang Muyun asked. Ning Zu'er is here, he can't help but ask his opinion, besides, the boat was stopped by him, and the prisoner was also taken down and killed by him, everything has to be handled by him first.

"Brother Yang has been in Huai'an for a few days, and he has begun to have a life of you, me, and me." Ning Zu'er smiled, "I'm doing Nansi's errand, but I'm not a position in Huai'an Mansion, and I'm not interested in this matter of chasing stolen goods." Saying that, he jumped up, stood on the shore with a graceful posture, and smiled at Yang Muyun: "It's better to go back to Nandu quickly, you must know that there is still a person who loves you who has been worrying about you." ”

Looking at Ning Zuer's back as he disappeared into the night, Yang Muyun's heart was hot, and he thought of Shisu.

"Turn the bow of the ship and go back to Huai'anβ€”" Yang Muyun commanded.

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

The next day, in the back hall of the Huai'an Dam Salt Inspection Institute in Andong County, four dark-skinned porters carried two large bags of salt and stepped on heavy steps to the front of the large scale of the inspection center.

"No. 1 sign, four hundred and ten pounds." The warden shouted expressionlessly.

Yao Chuxi was wearing a red official uniform and a black gauze hat with wings, and looked at the scene with a stern expression. Behind him, stood Zhou Mengnan's delicate figure.

"No. 2 sign, four hundred ......" The supervisor glanced at Lord Yao, Yao Chuxi bowed slightly, and continued to shout: "Four hundred and ten catties." ”

......

"No. 3 ,......"

......

After all the salt bags were inspected, Yao Chuxi came to the examination center to sign the public case of the detention room, and Zhou Mengnan and Steward Liu followed behind him. After Lord Yao sat down, Steward Liu respectfully presented the salt. At this time, a sound of footsteps sounded, and Yang Muyun led a group of arresters to Yao Chuxi's signing room quickly.

"Xianggong, why are you here?" Zhou Mengnan asked in surprise.

"You can do your business first," Yang Muyun smiled, "I'm just here to talk to Lord Yao for a while." As he spoke, he glanced at Yao Chuxi, who was sitting precariously, Yao Chuxi's face remained unchanged, and he calmly picked up the big seal and stamped it on the salt lead.

"Talking with so many people?" Zhou Mengnan glanced at the catcher behind Yang Muyun.

"Mrs. Yang, the seal on your salt guide has been stamped." Yao Chuxi got up and handed over the salt that had been stamped and cut off a corner.

"Lord Yao, how dare you get up in person......" Zhou Mengnan hurriedly stepped forward to take it.

"It's okay, this is the last official business this official will do." Yao Chuxi stroked his beard and smiled.

"Master Yao......" Zhou Mengnan looked at Yang Muyun again, "Xianggong ......" She felt an ominous premonition.

"Mrs. Yang, hurry back to the ship, don't delay the trip." Yao Chuxi said calmly.

"Madam-" Yang Muyun coughed lightly and looked at Steward Liu: "Quickly help Madame to retreat." ”

"Yes, uncle." Steward Liu took the salt in Zhou Mengnan's hand, "Miss, you better hurry back to the ship!" ”

After watching Zhou Mengnan's shadow disappear, Yao Chuxi smiled: "Thank you, Lord Yang." ”

"Thank me for what?"

"Thank you for saving me face in front of your wife." Yao Chuxi said as he took off his black gauze hat and put it on the bookcase.

"Looks like you know what I'm here for." Yang Muyun said lightly.

"This day will come." Yao Chuxi glanced at him meaningfully, "Isn't it?" ”

"Your wife is dead, and the ship containing the silver has been brought back." Yang Muyun looked at her quietly after speaking.

"She's not my wife," Yao Chuxi glanced at his sharply changing face, "My wife has passed away a long time ago." ”

"That Yao Bichen ......"

"She's not my daughter either, I don't have a daughter," Yao Chuxi smiled bitterly, "I only have one son." ”

"Where is Ling Gongzi?"

"I don't know." Yao Chuxi sighed, "Unjustly, a year ago, my son fell in love with a girl, who is my current daughter Yao Bichen, she and her master controlled my son and asked me to do things for them, otherwise I would kill him." ”

Yang Muyun listened to him silently.

"They pretended to be my wife and daughter, and at first I thought they were just for money, so I agreed to them, but then I found out that they were a cult and a rebel party that subverted the imperial court," Yao Chuxi calmed his excitement, "so I scolded my son and drew a line with him and expelled him from the house." Speaking of this, Yao Chuxi choked up, and two lines of tears flowed from his eyes.

"You are doing this to love him, save him, cling to the chaotic party, subvert the imperial court, and behead all the people according to the law." Yang Muyun groaned.

"I haven't seen him since then," Yao Chuxi looked at Yang Muyun with cloudy teary eyes, "I have failed in my duties, and I deserve death." I hope you don't get involved with him. ”

"Since you expelled him from the house, you are no longer father and son, let alone Zhulian," Yang Muyun showed a strange look on his face, "But I may know where he is." ”

Yang Muyun recalled the first time he went to Ganlin Temple, he saw Yao Bichen's excited look when he had to enter a side door in the temple, and when he saw her at Yao Chuxi's house, he said to himself: "It must not be him, but how can that figure be so similar to him?" "It's like talking about a lover.
