As soon as Wang Xiaoqi entered the study, he fell to his knees with a puff, snot and tears flowed together, and repeated vigorously in his mouth: I was wrong, I was wrong, Brother An.

Li Yan did not help him up, but silently waited for him to explain the matter by himself.

"Brother An, in fact, among the seven people who ran out, there was no me. I was captured alive......"

Then there was another burst of crying, and he said slowly:

"The people in the Prime Minister's Mansion didn't beat me, nor did they ask me anything, they just locked me up, and I didn't ...... until three days ago, when Master He from Yanggu County went to the Prime Minister's Mansion."

After listening to Wang Xiaoqi's intermittent narration, Li Yan already understood the truth of the matter in his heart.

It turned out that this Wang Xiaoqi was the youngest and least courageous person in their circle, and he was often bullied on weekdays.

When he escaped that day, Ding'an asked him to stay behind the broken back to block the door, and took the other six people to run over the wall first, and as soon as he climbed the wall, his neck was covered by a rope and he had to be caught.

Because the prime minister's birthday was approaching, the chief butler didn't have the energy to pay attention to him, so he was locked up in the dungeon for more than ten days.

After Li Yanei disappeared, Li Zhixian meant to immediately block Yanggu County, and all the old bustards and kiln sisters in Cuiyunlou were interrogated.

At this time, I have to talk about this Master He.

Master He, formerly known as He Yu, was born poor, widowed at an early age, and his father was a gambler, so he wandered the streets since he was a child, good at observing, speculating on people's hearts, and relying on saying nice things and words that others are willing to listen to, to get a meal and clothing.

As I grow older, my ability is getting bigger and bigger, and my ambition is getting bigger and bigger, and simple food and clothing are no longer enough.

One day, he was alone, empty-handed, and found Li Zhixian, who had just come to Yanggu County to take office, no one knew what he said to Li Zhixian, but overnight, he became Master He.

With a pair of eyes that can perceive people's hearts, he really helped Li Zhixian solve some mysterious cases and unsolved cases at first.

At that time, there was a saying among the people: Master He opened the eyes of heaven and looked down on the entire Yanggu County, and whoever did anything bad could not escape his third eye.

Li Zhixian is also like a giant arm, and everything in the yamen is handed over to him, and he is idle.

As the saying goes: when you wear new shoes at first glance, you will be ambitious and ambitious after being poor for a long time.

After holding the power, he began to be powerful, occupying the fields, bullying men and women, and becoming the number one bully in Yanggu County, and ordinary people dared not speak out.

After a long time, he became more and more rampant, thinking that no one could control him except his boss Li Zhixian.

One day, he snatched Ximenqing's woman in Cuiyun Building, which directly led to his later expulsion from Yanggu County.

Even Li Zhixian didn't dare to provoke Ximenqing, but this guy didn't open his eyes to provoke, Li Zhixian sent him to Bianliang to stay in Bianliang in order to save his life, one to avoid Ximenqing, and the other to find out the news in Beijing for himself.

He Yu really has some ability, and after a few years, he developed his own network resources in Bianliang, but because he has no fame and is not from a famous family, most of the people he interacts with are cronies of the powerful, such as Prime Minister Cai Jing's housekeeper is one of them.

It wasn't until after Ximenqing's death that this guy dared to return to Yanggu County, and the day after he came back, he frightened the old Gengtou who guarded the door.

Naturally, he had read Li Yan's appointment documents and didn't find anything unusual, so he hurriedly stopped Li Zhixian and informed him that this matter was a bit tricky.

First, I don't know if Yanai is a hostage in the hands of Li Yan, if he acts rashly, he may hurt Yanai's life.

Second, the punishment of thousands of households is not something that can be arrested by Qipinzhi County, and the prime minister must be turned to for help in this matter, and ask his old man to uphold justice.

Li Zhixian was extremely convinced of He Yu, so he did not move, and only then did he appear a false impression of singing and dancing.

Besides, he rode a fast horse straight to the Bianliang Prime Minister's Mansion overnight, saw the chief housekeeper Zhai Qian, and told Li Yan about it.

After hearing this, Zhai Qian said: This guy even dares to make fake documents.

He told him all the things he knew, and after hearing it, it would be easy to do it like a big stone falling to the ground, and he had no official position.

Now there is only one worry, that is, he is afraid that Yanei will be a hostage in the hands of Li Yan, so he begged Steward Zhai to hand over Wang Xiaoqi to himself, and a filial piety is indispensable.

It was useless for Zhai Qian to ask Wang Xiaoqi, someone was happy to deal with the aftermath, without saying a word, he accepted the money and took He Yu to the dungeon.

Wang Xiaoqi was He Yu's opponent, but in one day, he surrendered Wang Xiaoqi even with coaxing, deception and intimidation.

He asked Wang Xiaoqi to find Li Yan, secretly probe Li Yanei's whereabouts, and if he didn't get a reply after five days, he would lead his troops to kill Li Mansion all up.

Li Yan hurriedly said: "What day does the five days start?" ”

Wang Xiaoqi said: "From the day I met you." ”

Li Yan's heart instantly cooled, five days later, it was not the day he got married, how could there be such a coincidence, it must be a conspiracy, he rubbed his temples irritably, sent Wang Xiaoqi away, and curled up helplessly in the chair alone.

It was midnight at this time, and the whole house was unusually quiet, except for the squeaks of worms from time to time.

The candles in the study were more than half extinguished, and only three or two were still holding on, but they were also listless like a critically ill old man.

Li Yan crossed his hands on his knees, buried his head in his arms, like a homeless stray dog, only by shrinking his body as much as possible can he resist the cold outside and have a sense of security.

His shadow was stretched and reflected on the wall behind him, black hole, eerie, and incomparably desolate.

Run?

Where to run?

A person as smart as He Yu must have thought that he would escape, but I am afraid that he has already been surrounded by manpower, watching day and night, and as long as he leaves the house, he will be besieged and killed.

Besides, if he can run, can Li Bei'er run? Can sixty chests of treasure run? What about the teacher?

So you don't have to think about running.

Since you can't run away, what else can you do?

Even a man of steel can't withstand the blows in turn, and when he crosses over, it can really be described as frightening step by step, and he is worried every day, he is a little looking forward to liberation and death......

Above Li Yan's head, on the beams of the house, there was a person leaning against the pillar, sitting there, almost in the same posture as Li Yan.

……

In a trance, Li Yan saw that he was in a car, and Wang Qiang, who was in the driver's seat, was turning the steering wheel with a hideous face, shouting at the top of his voice: "Damn! Dry, dry, dry, to! ”

A person in the back seat said urgently: "Brother Qiang, Brother Yan is going to die, the bleeding can't be stopped!" Don't withdraw first! ”

"Withdraw your mother b, where to retreat, the back road is blocked, see that A8 no, that little cub must be on that car, capture the thief first capture the king, there can be a glimmer of life!"

Li Yan looked out of the car window, the two sides were the sea of rolling waves, the car was driving at high speed on a high dam, behind the car, there were dozens of people holding iron rods, knives, military stabs and other weapons, chasing the car, and some picked up stones and smashed them on the rear window.

About 500 meters ahead, a black Audi car was parked diagonally, the door opened, and a yellow-haired man in sportswear hurriedly ran down.

Wang Qiang stuck out his tongue, slammed the accelerator hard, and went straight to the yellow hair......
