After Yang Fengyi set out from the capital, he hurried all the way with his people, and finally arrived in Yongqing County that night, rested for only half an hour, and then went to the prison to interrogate Jiang Darong, the merchant who bought the flower bell.

Yang Fengyi struggled to speak and promised many benefits, but when he saw that he refused to speak, he was immediately furious, and ordered people to be tortured.

Jiang Darong secretly regretted that he shouldn't have coveted Hualing's beauty, he messed up his errand, and knew that he would die, at this time, no matter how Yang Fengyi tortured him, there was only one sentence: "Adults don't have to work in vain, villains just want to die quickly!" ”

Yang Fengyi tortured him for three or four quarters of an hour, and when he saw that he was soft and hard, and that he could endure the torture, he imprisoned him and ordered him to be strictly guarded to prevent him from committing suicide.

Then he interrogated Hua Ling and told her the news that Zhang Daomei was dead, and asked her to honestly explain the affairs of Zhang Daomei and Jiang Darong.

After hearing this, Hua Ling was heartbroken, and she no longer covered up for Zhang Daomei, so she told Zhang Daomei what happened when she slept with her that night.

He also said that she didn't know Jiang Darong, and after Jiang Darong forcibly ransomed her, he took her from the capital to Yongqing County without stopping, and wanted to forcibly possess her, she desperately refused, Jiang Darong starved her for a day, and then tied her to a tree and beat her.

Yang Fengyi was extremely disappointed when he saw that all the information he asked from Hua Ling's mouth was inconsequential, and when he saw that she was also determined to die, he ordered someone to keep her under strict guard.

In the evening, they secretly met with a person, and after the two talked for less than a moment, the other disappeared and left.

After breakfast the next morning, Yang Fengyi was worried about what new progress was going on in the capital, so he hurriedly gathered people and hurried to the capital.

Yang Fengyi opened the curtain of the car and saw that the arrows were pouring from the sky, and he was so frightened that he crawled in the carriage on the spot, motionless, and heard the neighing of the horse, and the secret road was not good, so he turned over with the carriage on the whole side, and suddenly felt pain all over his body, and his arm was in severe pain.

Seeing that the arrows were still whizzing, and hearing the continuous wailing of pain outside, he didn't dare to make any sound, especially when he saw some arrows shooting in through the wooden planks, he was shocked and angry in his heart, could it be that the king of Beijing wanted to cross the river and tear down the bridge, so he had to hide in the carriage and pretend to be dead.

I don't know how long it took, when I heard the sound of arrows outside stopping, only the screams of pain remained, so I had the courage to open the back curtain and look back, only to see Jiang Darong's whole body full of arrows, like a hedgehog, an errand was also nailed to the prisoner car, and there were several corpses of officials around, and I was secretly glad in my heart, fortunately, King Beijing was the talker, otherwise so many arrows would shoot, and his life would definitely be difficult to protect.

Looking at Hua Ling again, seeing that she was also killed by an arrow, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart, this inconsequential person can be kept, now the two witnesses have been killed, and his errand has been completely ruined, so he will inevitably be suspicious when he goes back, seeing the arrows penetrating into the carriage, he thought about it, then gritted his teeth, put his arm up and made a cut, and suddenly let out a scream of pain.

The surviving officer outside saw that the arrows stopped, and first poked his head out to check, and Shaoqing cautiously got up to check, guessing that the assassin had left, and was trying to check everyone's situation, when he suddenly heard a scream, and was so frightened that he climbed to the ground again, and after waiting for a while, he heard the scream coming from the overturned carriage, and hurriedly surrounded him to check.

Yang Fengyi endured the pain, covered his arm, and asked people to pull him out.

Several errand officers hurriedly dragged Yang Fengyi's legs and dragged him out, and hurriedly asked, "How is the adult's injury?" ”

Yang Fengyi glanced at the bleeding arm, and pretended to be nothing: "The old man is fine, but he was hit by an arrow in the arm, is the assassin gone, how are you doing?" ”

Zhang Gui, the head catcher, immediately stepped forward and said: "Back to my lord, the assassin has left, but Jiang Darong is dead, the villain checked it just now, the brothers have killed a total of five people, injured seven people, and the adult's coachman is also dead." ”

Yang Fengyi said sadly: "It's all the old man's fault, I didn't expect the gangsters to be so heartbroken and dare to openly assassinate, it's the old man who has affected you." As he spoke, he hurriedly wiped his tears with his sleeve.

Wiping away his tears, he said, "Don't worry, the old man will definitely fight for your dead brothers, and he will also show your merits to the court." ”

Zhang Gui hurriedly led everyone to thank him, and said with concern: "The villain sees that the adult's arm is still bleeding, so it's better to bandage it, let's go into the city as soon as possible for treatment!" ”

Yang Fengyi nodded and hurriedly asked, "Which of you knows how to bandage?" ”

An errand officer with rough medical skills immediately stood up and bandaged Yang Fengyi properly, and then bandaged the injured errand officer.

Yang Fengyi saw that the carriage could not be used, so he asked Zhang Gui to take people to the nearest village and borrow a few carriages to come over.

While several people were waiting, another arrow suddenly shot at Yang Fengyi's neck, only to see Yang Fengyi fall to the ground instantly, unable to speak, and blood foam kept gushing out.

Everyone was so frightened that they lay down again, and this time they didn't dare to stand up again.

After the ambushed archers shot Yang Fengyi, they immediately went back to recover their lives.

After a short time, he came to a camp tent and went in to report: "My subordinates have completed their tasks and have come to return to their lives." ”

The king of Zhongshun in the tent nodded and said, "It's good, go down and get the reward!" ”

As soon as the archer retreated, another middle-aged man in armor with blood stains on it entered.

When King Zhongshun saw him come in, he hurriedly asked, "Are those people settled?" ”

The man replied, "Kill all of them!" ”

King Zhongshun praised: "Well done, what are the casualties of the brothers? ”

The man replied, "Twenty-three people were slightly wounded, and six were killed!" ”

When King Zhongshun heard that he was not seriously injured, his heart ached, and he knew that the brothers who followed him would only fight to the death when killing the enemy, so he shook his head, waved his hand to let the two go down, and after calming down the pain, he ordered people to set off and return to Beijing to deliver the order.

On Yang Fengyi's side, less than two quarters of an hour, Zhang Gui came back with two carriages and an ox cart, and brought back a doctor.

When everyone saw him come back, they instantly had the backbone, and they hurriedly told Zhang Gui about Yang Fengyi's assassination and death.

After hearing this, Zhang Gui was completely panicked, and hurriedly asked the doctor to hastily bandage the injured brother, and then led people to load the corpses onto the ox cart, and the seriously injured ones were carried to the carriage. He also ordered the arrows to be gathered, and then hurried to the capital with a whip.

Lu Zheng in Beijing followed Lu Jing's instructions and searched for the people named Gao Fu in each mansion one by one.

Lu Wu was originally Lu Jing's personal entourage, and because of his cleverness, he was transferred by Lu Jing to Lu Zheng as a steward, and after receiving the order, he also participated in the operation.

Lu Wu came to the house of Yu Shi Zengxiao, the right capital of the Inspectorate, turned to the back door, and saw that a small guy was sweeping the floor, so he hurriedly stepped forward and asked: "This little brother is invited, I don't know if there is a person named Gao Fu in the house?" ”

The little guy asked, "There is one, what are you looking for him?" ”

Lu Wu hurriedly smiled: "I am his relative, I came to Beijing to join him, I heard him say that he was on an errand here, so I found here, can the little brother call him out?" ”

The little guy shook his head and said, "I still have an errand to do!" ”

Seeing this, Lu Wu stuffed more than a dozen copper coins, and begged: "Please also ask the little brother to do me a favor, these little brothers will keep it for tea." ”

The little guy took the money, put it in his sleeve, and said with a smile: "You wait here, I'll go and call him out." ”

In less than a quarter of an hour, Lu Wu saw that the little guy was leading a middle-aged man out, and when he saw his age, he knew that it was not right, so he hurriedly said that he had misremembered the address, so he apologized before getting out.

Then I changed the street and turned to the next one. Seeing an old woman come out, she hurriedly greeted her and asked with a smile: "Old woman, is there a young man named Gao Fu in your house?" ”

The old woman first nodded subconsciously, and then hurriedly shook her head and said, "No, no, go away, don't delay my wife to go out to do business." ”

Lu Wu saw that the old woman's expression was different, and immediately paid attention, and saw that the old woman was in a hurry, so he quietly followed her.

Seeing that she just went to the tea shop not far away and said a few words, he turned around again, busily stopped her halfway, and said with a smile: "Old woman, the boy is polite!" ”

When the old woman saw that it was him again, she said unhappily: "I said that there is no such person, why are you still entangled with the old woman!" ”

Lu Wu hurriedly took out two taels of silver and said, "Don't hide it from my mother-in-law, the kid is here to join him, he wrote to say that he is on an errand in this house, and I don't know where his family is, so I can only come to the house to inquire." ”

The old woman took the silver, checked it, and said with wrinkles on her smiling face: "What is the relationship between you and Gao Fu's kid?" ”

Lu Wu hurriedly said: "He and I are neighbors!" ”

The old woman wondered, "No, no, I heard how you have a southern accent!" ”

Lu Wu hurriedly explained with a smile: "The kid followed the elders to the south to do business all the year round, so he learned the accent over there, in fact, I am a Xiangfu person, but the business over there was lost, so I went to Beijing to make a living." ”

When the old woman heard him talk about Xiangfu County, she nodded and said, "Yes, I remember that Gao Fu said that he was from that side." ”

Lu Wu continued to ask: "Can the old woman help the kid pass a word and ask Brother Gaofu to come out!" ”

The old woman shook her head and said, "You're late, a few days ago, Gao Fu's kid stole the young master's things and ran away, and he ran away for several days, and the master sent someone to chase him!" ”

When Lu Wu heard this, he immediately realized that he was afraid that it was just this family, so he hurriedly suppressed the joy in his heart, and pretended to be puzzled: "My brother is not such a person, how could he do such a thing?" ”

The old woman nodded when she heard this: "What you said is also true, that kid is the most clever, and he often respects his wife, I don't believe he will be like this, but the old man said so, and we don't dare to ask as subordinates, and the old woman originally said that she wanted to marry her granddaughter to him, but now it is not done." ”

Lu Wu sighed a few words, and then asked, "When the kid asked just now, why did the mother-in-law say that there was no such person?" ”

The old woman glanced at him and said: "It's also a special explanation from the master, maybe the house will mention this person again, and explain that if anyone asks, just say that there is no such person, a few days ago, a little guy accidentally talked about Gao Fu, and he was beaten." ”

Lu Wu asked a few more words, then said goodbye and left, and immediately went back to report the matter to Lu Zheng.
