Nanpi City, at night.

As the curfew sounded throughout the city, the largest city in Bohai County gradually fell silent, and when the night completely shrouded the city in darkness, the people who had returned home could not imagine that a silent change was quietly taking place under the cover of night.

Outside a large mansion in the south of the city, on the street, under the house, and even on the eaves, the thick night seems to be a monster resurrected in the dark night, twisting slightly, revealing a strange and gloomy atmosphere.

Night walkers wrapped in black sneaked out of the darkness, and under the reflection of the faint light of the stars and moon, only a pair of black and white eyes flashed with a fierce and cold light. They were half-bent over, with their backhands on the hilts of their backs, and they alternately surrounded the mansion in front of them from all directions.

Farther away, groups of Han troops patrolling the night had intentionally or unintentionally choked all the roads, completely blocking all access to the mansion.

In front of the mansion, a tall black-clothed masked man slowly emerged from the night, and by the faint light of the two stone lamps in front of the door, he raised his head and looked at the word "Li Zhai" on the lintel, and let out a soft sneer.

He raised his arm and slashed downward.

In the darkness, there was a "hissing" whistle like a poisonous snake spitting out a letter from several directions at the same time, and countless black shadows swooped out, either like the swiftness of an ape or like the slippery of a swimming fish, flying towards the mansion.

In front of the courtyard wall that is more than a foot high, the people in black showed unimaginable strength, they took advantage of the momentum of running, and the toes on the courtyard wall were like dragonflies dotting water a few times, and then a somersault fell into the wall, and there were even more outstanding people, directly pulled up, as light as a raccoon cat over the wall.

There are still some people in black who did not deceive themselves into the house, but ran to the gate, side door and courtyard wall, quietly bowed down, and completed the outer blockade with the help of the concealment of the shadows.

Seemingly satisfied with his men's actions, the black-clad masked man let out a smug laugh. He climbed the stairs and pressed his palm against the closed door, and his hand spat out with a secret force, silently breaking the latch inside, causing the whole door to open suddenly.

As his figure disappeared into the door, the door closed tightly again. Soon, from the far-reaching courtyard, the sound of screams and cries faintly sounded. After a chaotic sound, the entire courtyard fell silent again.

Half an hour later, the city gates were opened, and dozens of four-wheeled carriages with closed doors and windows quietly left the city under the arch of hundreds of cavalry.

At this point, one of the four families of Bohai and the first family in Nanpi City, the whole world has evaporated.

Outside Nanpi City, the central dock fort of Tuntian Daying, underground secret room.

A black-headed man was pressed down on a special iron chair, his limbs firmly bound to it by delicate steel buckles.

The black cover on his head was violently ripped off, and he pulled off a handful of the man's hair, causing him to scream in pain.

While the glare of light still dazzled him, a low voice almost startled him, but he was dragged back to his chair in vain due to the restraints on his body.

"Mr. Li! Don't come unharmed? The voice said lightly: "I can't imagine that the second meeting between you and me will be in this way!" ”

"Southern Eagle Young?" Li Pei's originally extremely pale face was even more like a layer of white wax, and he said in a trembling voice: "I don't know what a big crime I committed to make the general deal with it like this?" ”

"What do you say?" Nan Ying stared at him mockingly: "Although Ben will already master a lot of your affairs, he is still willing to listen to what you have to say...... After all, Ben won't be the roundworm in your belly! ”

"The general has been wronged!" Li Pei's eyes had gradually adapted to the light in the room, and he found that in addition to Nanying, there were still at least seven or eight people sitting quietly in various corners of the room, but all of them were hidden in the darkness. A glimmer of hope swelled in his heart...... If Nanying had already taken his handle, why did he call so many people to listen?

"Wronged you? Very good! Nan Ying leaned forward and said in surprise: "Then let's talk about it, what did Ben General wronged you?" You can rest assured, Ben will always be as good as a stream, as long as you say it is reasonable, I will give you justice! ”

"Wronged ......" Li Pei was almost speechless, and only after a while did he smile bitterly: "The general has not yet pronounced the verdict of the crime, how do you know where the injustice is?" ”

"That's right!" Nan Ying nodded, suddenly slapped the case heavily, and shouted: "Ben Jiang has not been convicted yet, how do you know that Ben Jiang has wronged you?" ”

"General, you are too arbitrary!" Li Pei's mind gradually calmed down, and he sneered: "My Li family, as a member of the four surnames of Bohai, has always been loyal to the Han Dynasty, and since the general took charge of Bohai, he has been even more dedicated to assisting him, and he does not dare to slack off in the slightest...... Now that the general has mobilized a large number of people to surround the houses in the middle of the night, and abduct the good people without permission, even if the court does not investigate this matter in the future, the general is afraid that he will not be able to explain to the people of the world who are loyal to the Han Dynasty, right? ”

"Thedo nonsense...... Let Ben tell you three truths in the future! Nanying leaned back in his chair and said casually: "Truth one, if there is no real evidence, I will not easily move you...... So you'd better take chances! Truth 2, with the imperial decree of the Son of Heaven in the hands of this general, don't say that you have taken 137 people from your entire family, even if you are cut into pieces, no one will come to investigate...... To Ben, you're just an ant! ”

Looking at Li Pei's face that trembled slightly again, Nan Ying let out a disdainful sneer from his nose: "At least Ben will explain to all the people in the world?" Do you still want to hear the truth three? Not to mention killing your little Li Pei silently, even if someone really wants to make waves, it will be easy...... There are many thieves in the Bohai Sea these days, and even the biggest pirates are from your Li family, and I am worried that I can't find a scapegoat! ”

He reached out and touched his chin, revealing an evil smile: "As long as you are pushed out and beheaded for public display, the people will praise Ben for his strict law enforcement!" ”

Li Pei trembled, and finally said dejectedly: "The general has no last resort, and the villain is willing to bow down!" What the general wants to ask, the villain must know everything! ”

"Count you as acquaintances!" Nan Ying's eyes turned cold, and he said sharply: "Where did the thousands of gold on your ship come from?" ”

"No!" Li Pei's eyes widened in horror and screamed, "That ship was actually intercepted by you?" ”

A soldier standing with his hands hanging down raised his hand and slapped him, causing Li Pei to bleed from the corner of his mouth, and shouted: "Answer the question!" ”

"I'm done!" Li Pei seemed indifferent to the soldier's beating and scolding, and he muttered with a demented look in his eyes: "We're finished!" ”

Nan Ying raised his hand to stop the soldier's raised arm again, and quietly waited for Li Pei's next words.

"The general is really powerful, I just said that you are doing your best to deal with Li Shaojie's little brute, and you have no time to care about it, so I arranged for Guan Cheng to risk going to sea......" Li Pei slowly raised his head, his face was gray: "How do you know, you still take it right!" ”

"Li Shaojie? Undertaking? Nan Ying frowned slightly: "What is the relationship between these two biggest pirates near the Bohai Sea and you?" ”

"Li Shaojie, my own nephew, after losing many years ago because of the struggle for the position of the head of the family, he retreated to the sea to find a gap to be my enemy!" Li Pei said calmly: "And Guan Cheng is a force that we have secretly cultivated, not only for the convenience of sea transportation, but also to deal with the threat from other pirates!" ”

"You guys? What organization are you? Nan Ying keenly captured the meaning of his words.

"General, you have been fighting with the Sexagenary Branch for so many years, and you don't even know about our existence?" Li Pei seemed to have completely cleared up, raised his head and sneered: "Or are you high above and don't notice our existence at all?" ”

"Sexagenary?" Nanying's heart jumped, and he blurted out: "You and the Heavenly Stem Branch ......"

"Fire and water are incompatible!" Li Pei nodded and said, "Our existence is to fight against the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches!" ”

"How is that possible?" Nanying said in disbelief, "I never knew you existed! ”

"General, you're wrong!" Li Pei laughed softly: "Actually, you have already had contact with us....... do you remember the day when Zhang Mancheng robbed the treasure of Taiping Dao?" Of course, he's now under your account! ”

"It's you!" A bright light flashed in Nan Ying's heart in an instant, and he lost his voice and said, "You are the third group of black-clothed masked people except for the Heavenly Stem Branch and the Liangzhou rebels!" I just said that it was just a person from the Hongnong Yang family! ”

"General, it's not surprising that you think so!" Li Pei sighed: "Because Zhang Mancheng only knows the people of the Yang family, and the Yang family is just one of us!" ”

"Excellent! Ben will fully feel Mr. Li's sincerity, and I believe that we will have a very pleasant cooperation below! Nan Ying was stunned for a moment before smiling and said, "Now, please tell me about your organization!" ”

"General, I'm afraid I can only disappoint you!" Li Pei took a deep breath: "The matter has come to this, it is said that the villain has no bargaining capital...... But the villain still wants to say something to his death: what can be said, the villain has endless words, and if you can't say it, you will kill me, and you won't say more than half a word! ”

"For example, our organization!" He smiled bitterly: "This is a taboo, I can't reveal it anyway!" ”

"Aren't you afraid I'll kill you?" Nanying said.

"Kill me? Of course not afraid! Li Pei smiled miserably: "Let's be honest, just with what I just said to the general, I myself am already a mortal person....... the organization will do whatever it takes to eradicate me!" The general thinks, am I still afraid of death? ”

"Since you are not even afraid of death, why don't you dare to explain everything to us?" In the darkness, a man's voice came out.

"For I have something more to fear than my own death! Just as I fear you, I cannot fear you more than I fear the organization! Li Pei laughed again.

"You have repeatedly mentioned your own death....... can we understand that your organization will come to your people for revealing secrets?" Another voice rang out.

"Not bad!" Li Pei nodded in the darkness: "It's just that if I am exposed, I will die, if I betray my companions, our Li family will not be left behind!" ”

"Then, aren't you afraid that Ben will also kill your Li family?" Nan Ying raised his voice and shouted: "Don't forget, there are one hundred and thirty-seven people in your Li family, and now they are all in the palm of your hand!" ”

"General, you?" Li Pei stared at the murderous Nan Ying, and suddenly revealed a complicated smile: "Stop bluffing!" The villain believes that if the general just kills me Li Pei alone, he really won't even blink his eyes! But when it comes to killing the elderly, weak, women and children....... based on the general's past performance and our analysis after long-term observation of you, general, you don't have that ability! ”

"You!" Nanying was so angry that he was stunned on the spot, speechless for a while, but a chill arose in his heart. These people are really powerful, and they have completely figured out their temperament.

"The villain originally had no respect for the general in his heart, and it wasn't until you came to Bohai that you began to dig into the general's past!" Li Pei said lightly: "Although you are in a hostile position, the villain admires you more and more...... You have killed thousands of people, but you have never killed a single innocent person, but you have been in a desperate situation several times for protecting civilians. On the other hand, what you can't do, our organization can do it without any care, including killing everyone in our Li family, even the infant baby! Please think about it, how dare the villain speak out to you? ”

"We can protect your Li family!" In the darkness, someone said categorically: "General Nan's strong strength is beyond doubt!" ”

"That's a good point, but it needs to be proven by facts!" Li Pei said disapprerovingly: "If the general can uproot the Hongnong Yang family overnight, then it proves that you already have the strength to end the organization." Otherwise, you can protect us for a while, but you can't protect us for life! ”

"General, can you do it?" He stared at the Southern Eagle.

"Ben will ...... Can't do it! Nanying hesitated slightly, and finally smiled bitterly. The Hongnong Yang family can almost be compared with the Yuan family, and it is enough to rank among the top three families in the world, its foundation is so deep and its strength is so strong that it can even affect the situation in the world, even if it is the Son of Heaven, he does not dare to say that he can completely wipe it out overnight. This is also the reason why after the battle of treasure robbery that day, although Nanying had learned from Zhang Mancheng that the Yang family was involved in this matter, he could only pretend to be deaf and dumb.

"Mr. Li has made his words clear, which shows his sincerity!" A voice said slowly: "General, we must not force people too much...... Well, as long as Mr. Li can answer some questions with a good bottom line, we will continue to protect his family, how about it? ”

"That's it!" Nan Ying said without hesitation: "As long as you can cooperate, not only your clan, but even you yourself are under the protection of this general!" ”

"The villain is just an insignificant person in the organization, in fact, he doesn't have too many secrets, in other words, if the general thinks that the villain has lost its usefulness......" Li Pei's heart reborn hope for life, he hissed: "Then general, how can you guarantee your protection of me?" ”

"Hahaha! Do you dare to sit on the ground with General Nan and repay the money? In the darkness, a tall figure stood up and said proudly: "Even if you don't say it, I already know where your organization is sacred!" ”

"Who are you?" Li Pei exclaimed.

"I'm the one who took down your Li family tonight! Not only that, but you just mentioned my old days! The man stepped forward, and under the candlelight, the man's eyes reflected a terrifying light that made people palpitate: "I am the one of the heavenly and earthly branches!" ”

"Ziyi? The House of Appointments? Li Pei screamed, his voice full of irrepressible fear: "How could you have joined Nanying's subordinates?" ”

"You rat-eyed man!" Ziyi slowly pulled down the veil, revealing Sun Binshuo's face that was not angry and arrogant, and he was yin**: "See my face clearly...... If you have heard of my methods, you should understand that if you dare to disobey General Nan, I will slowly torture your family with methods far beyond your organization! ”

"General, my subordinates have been able to guess the organization behind this person!" He turned to Nanying and sneered: "It is indeed a difficult old opponent, and the person in charge of it is also an acquaintance of the general...... This person is useless, kill it! ”

"Nope! No! Li Pei was almost curled up in a ball, trembling all over.

"Don't scare him!" Nan Ying waved his hand and said: "Ben will say everything he says, and will never break his word, as long as he can say information that satisfies us, he will provide protection!" ”

"Yes! Checkmate! Sun Binshuo nodded and retreated into the darkness again.

"Will... Checkmate! Li Pei was obviously frightened, and he said in a dumb voice: "The general forgives the sin, since the legendary leader of the earth branch is under the command of the general, then the organization behind the villain really can't hide the general's eyes and ears, and the villain is willing to ......."

"Needless to say, Ben will only ask you one thing!" Nanying said in a deep voice: "How exactly did you get a large amount of gold through sea transportation? Where does this gold go? ”

"Yes! Be! Li Pei had cold sweat streaming down his forehead: "We have mastered several jade mines in the Bohai Sea, and after making the jade into finished products, we will transport it to Mahan by sea in exchange for gold..."

Seeing Nan Ying's bewildered expression, he explained: "These Yi people have strange habits, they don't like gold, they prefer ornaments such as jade beads, and they are willing to pay a lot of money in exchange for ...... We only discovered this way of making money a few years ago! ”

"As for where this gold goes, the villain really doesn't know!" He lowered his head: "The villain is responsible for providing the goods, the manager is responsible for the escort, and there is also a special person to sell it after it arrives in Malaysia." And the gold obtained is secretly transported away by the villain's upper peak! ”

"Your uphill?" In the darkness, someone laughed softly: "Can't you say the identity of this person?" ”

"Humph!" Sun Binshuo's cold snort came.

"He... He is! Li Peidou's big beads of sweat were dripping, and the muscles on his face were twisted, obviously experiencing a painful struggle in his heart.

"He's a Fengxiong, right?" In the shadows, a lazy voice said disdainfully: "This little secret, it's a fart!" ”

"You!" Li Pei's whole person flicked the heavy iron chair under the seat, not only because of the answer that the person said, but also because of the voice that the person was once familiar with.
