Chapter 80: The Truth
As soon as he saw the reactions of Yue Jingshan and Yue Zhong Boots, Zhou Jue knew that Shen Bai had deliberately mentioned this Captain Meng, picked up his wine glass and played with it for a while, and asked curiously: "Yes, isn't it a reception banquet specially held for me today?" Why didn't Captain Meng come? Don't you look down on me? ”
Yue Zhongshou stood up and explained sincerely: "That's not the case, Captain Meng contracted a cold some time ago, and he has not been able to recover, and he has been sick in bed for the past few days, so he really can't come, so he asked his subordinates to come here to pick up the wind for Young Master Zhou." ”
Zhou Jue raised his eyebrows and said with concern: "Captain Meng should be in his early forties this year, and he practices in the captain's camp every day. ”
Zhou Jue's question was meaningful, Yue Zhong's boots and Yue Jingshan both jumped their eyelids, their expressions were a little abnormal, and Yue Jingshan glanced at Shen Bai fiercely.
This dusty woman, why did you suddenly mention Captain Meng when she was fine?
Feeling Yue Jingshan's unkind gaze, Shen Bai lifted his eyes to look at him, not only was he not afraid, but he also bent his eyes.
You can say whatever you want, and if you stare at it again, you will gouge out your eyes!
Shen Bai vividly interpreted the four words of fearlessness, Yue Jingshan squinted, obviously feeling that Shen Bai was different from ordinary women in the dust.
When Yue Zhongshou heard Zhou Jue's words, his face sank, and he said seriously: "Captain Meng was injured when he was young, and this time he contracted typhoid fever, and there was a recurrence of old injuries, so he was sick like a mountain, and there was no other hidden secret. ”
As soon as Yue Zhongshou finished speaking, Shen Bai covered his lips and laughed lowly: "Isn't Captain Meng doing too many evil things, and now he has suffered retribution, right?" ”
On this kind of occasion, not to mention Shen Bai, even ordinary ladies are not qualified to speak at will.
Shen Bai touched the taboo of Yue Zhongshou and Yue Jingshan several times when he spoke, Yue Zhongshoe's face darkened, and he glared at Shen Bai and scolded angrily: "Presumptuous, you dare to curse the imperial court officials!?" ”
Yue Zhong's boots were a military general's style in the school captain, his voice was thick and loud, and as soon as he opened his mouth, the ladies present changed their faces in fright, and they looked at him silently.
Shen Bai also made a frightened appearance, pounced on Zhou Jue on the side, and said lazily: "Young Master Zhou, the slave family is so scared, this person is so fierce." ”
Zhou Jue's temples jumped suddenly, but he still hugged Shen Bai's shoulder and gently patted comfortingly: "Don't be afraid, with me, no one will hurt you." ”
Zhou Jue's words were obviously to protect Shen Bai, Yue Zhongshou frowned, and reminded Zhou Jue with suppressed anger: "Young Master Zhou, this woman is from a low background, and she has repeatedly spoken disrespectfully today, you must not be confused by her appearance and fall in love with her!" ”
Zhou Jue secretly rolled his eyes, if he hadn't recognized Shen Bai, he was afraid that he would hack this demon to death earlier than Yue Zhongshou.
Shen Bai lay on Zhou Jue's chest and glared at Yue Zhong's boots with resentment: "The adults are so domineering, the slave family hasn't said anything, you are so excited, if the slave family really says something, are you afraid that you will kill the slave family?" ”
Shen Bai was obviously angry when she said this, but secretly she was saying that she knew a lot of things.
Zhou Jue immediately took over the topic and asked suspiciously, "What do you know?" ”
Shen Bai plunged into Zhou Jue's arms, his head arched vigorously in his chest, and he snorted pretentiously: "This person is so fierce, the slave family doesn't dare to say it, the slave family is afraid!" ”
Hehe! If you hum again, the master will kill you demon!
Zhou Jue couldn't bear it anymore, pushed Shen Bai away, and ordered in a cold voice: "Say it quickly!" ”
Yue Zhongshou was afraid that Shen Baizhen would say something, and subconsciously wanted to stop it: "Young Master Zhou......"
"Shut up!" Zhou Jue was upset, yelled at Yue Zhongshou, turned his head to look at Shen Bai, "Tell me everything you know!" ”
Shen Bai pinched the handkerchief and wiped the tears that did not exist at the corners of his eyes, and said faintly: "It's nothing, it's just that this Captain Meng has a lot of authority, in Muzhou over the years, he has always openly recruited prostitutes to the school lieutenant camp to vent his beastly desires, not to mention, and always hurt the sisters in the Qingyun Pavilion, the slave family knows that those who do our business are not worth their lives, but the slave family heard that the rules in the army are strict, and I don't know that according to the laws of Zhaoling, this captain has violated military regulations." ”
Shen Bai said reasonably, strictly and clearly, Yue Jingshan and Yue Zhongshou were relieved, only if she was specially here to avenge the grievances of those girls in Qingyun Pavilion.
Zhou Jue was a little disappointed, thinking that Shen Bai would say something about the twenty pregnant women who disappeared in Muzhou, but he didn't show it, twisted his eyebrows slightly, and looked at Yue Jingshan and Yue Zhongshou seriously: "Is there really such a thing?" ”
Meng Heling's recruitment of prostitutes is not a secret in Muzhou City, and you can find out if you send someone to inquire a little, the two hesitated, did not hide it anymore, and nodded to admit.
Recruiting prostitutes is better than harming the daughters of good families, but it does violate military discipline, although Zhou Jue is not an errand in the army, he is taught by Zhou Deshan every day, and he is very familiar with the laws and military regulations of Zhaoling.
Knowing that these people are not good birds, he grabbed the wine glass in his hand and smashed it on the ground, and scolded him with righteous words: "The generals in the army should lead by example, not to bully the weak, not to harm the people, and not to bribe and covet beauty, how can he be worthy of being a captain of Muzhou for such an act!" ”
The cup shattered and splashed in an instant, Yue Jingshan and Yue Zhong's boots looked awe-inspiring, and then they all set their eyes on Shen Bai.
Zhou Jue himself had just accepted a beauty, and if he scolded Meng Heling, a school captain, for his improper style, his persuasiveness was not so strong.
Zhou Jue also realized this, and glared at Shen Bai angrily.
Shen Bai immediately helped Zhou Jue play a round: "Young Master Zhou is noble, and he is handsome, the slave family is willing to serve Young Master Zhou, and Young Master Zhou is a polite person at first glance, and he will not hurt the slave family, but Captain Meng has the lives of several sisters in our pavilion." ”
The degree of life of ordinary prostitutes and Cao Kan is not the same, after Shen Bai finished speaking, he lifted his skirt and slammed his head on the ground: "The slave family's life is cheap, today I am willing to use this cheap life to ask Young Master Zhou to thoroughly investigate Meng Heling, the capital of Muzhou, and give justice to those who died in his hands!" ”
Thoroughly investigate Meng Heling?
Yue Jingshan and Yue Zhongshou glanced at each other, but they didn't expect things to develop like this all of a sudden.
If this continues, they won't be able to cover up those things if they want to.
Zhou Jue knew that Shen Bai wanted to take the opportunity to put pressure on them and let them show their feet faster, so he immediately eased his expression and helped Shen Bai up, and said firmly: "Don't worry, beauty, since Young Master Ben knows about this matter, he will not stand idly by, I will definitely find out the truth." ”
Shen Bai looked moved, and wanted to lean towards Zhou Jue again, but was stopped by Zhou Jue's knife, Zhou Jue said with a smile: "I don't want to eat anymore if something like this happens, send the beauty back first, and then find someone else to understand the situation, and the two adults are also well prepared, and they will go with me to visit Captain Meng later." ”
Yue Jingshan and Yue Zhong Boots couldn't stop it, so they could only nod and agree.
Zhou Jue pulled Shen Bai out of the gate of the state capital and rode directly on Yue Zhong's horse to Qingyun Pavilion.
Seeing the gold-inlaid door hanging on the gate of Qingyun Pavilion, Zhou Jue's eyes couldn't help twitching, and seeing that there was no one around, he lowered his voice and asked Shen Bai: "Brother Gu and the young master are also here?" ”
Shen Bai rolled his eyes happily: "Otherwise, where do you think they are?" ”
Zhou Jue looked at Shen Bai: "You are really bold, if you let the people in Beijing know that you brought them to this kind of place, do you still want it?" ”
Shen Bai looked at him: "The tone is so sour, what's the matter, I'm not happy that I didn't bring you here?" ”
Zhou Jue glared at her with disgust: "I don't come to this kind of place, I'm afraid of getting sick!" ”
Shh In the previous life, I didn't know who it was, and I slept all the girls in the Lanyue Pavilion.
Shen Bai slandered, and after entering the Qingyun Pavilion, he regained his nature, thinking that the skirt was in the way, so he picked it up and strode upstairs.
She didn't wear anything inside, and when the hem of her skirt was lifted, a white calf was also exposed.
Although he knew that this person was a man, Zhou Jue still had the idea of "debauchery" in his mind, and he wanted Shen Bai to put down his skirt and walk well.
Before Zhou Jue could implement this idea, someone did it for him, Shen Bai ran halfway, the back of his hand was hit by two peanuts, and he let out a low cry, and the skirt fell to block his calves tightly.
Shen Bai rubbed the back of his hands aggrievedly, and asked without raising his head: "Gu Guard, what are you doing beating me again?" ”
No one agreed, so Shen Bai took Zhou Jue upstairs and entered the box.
Lujian and Chabai had already returned, and when they saw Shen Bai, they were both very excited, and Lujian couldn't help but ask, "Is Xiao Langjun okay?" ”
Obviously, he has been worried about Shen Bai, afraid that something will happen to her.
Gu Hengzhou and Zhao Che were sitting in the room, each with a cup of tea in front of them, their faces were cold, and there was a low pressure all around them.
Distressed that Lujian and Cha Bai had been with these two for so long, Shen Bai smiled at Lu Jian and Cha Bai in addition to the veil: "I'm not a woman, of course there will be nothing." After speaking, he looked at Cha Bai, "How is Sister Cha Bai's injury?" ”
Cha Bai was moved, and shook his head again and again: "It's not a big deal, thanks to Xiao Langjun for coming in time." ”
Obviously, this disaster was brought by Shen Bai and them, but Cha Bai thanked Shen Bai instead, it was rare to be so open-minded, and Shen Bai couldn't help but look at her more.
Zhou Jue followed Shen Bai into the house, although he was mentally prepared, he really saw Gu Hengzhou and Zhao Che in the same room with two dusty women, and he still received a lot of shock.
Zhou Jue reflexively closed the door, and then walked in front of Gu Hengzhou and Zhao Che, glanced at Lujian and Cha Bai vigilantly, Gu Hengzhou said lightly: "If there is anything you can say directly, don't worry." ”
With Gu Hengzhou's words, Zhou Jue was relieved and asked the most concerned question: "Brother Gu, what have you found?" ”
When Zhou Jue spoke, Shen Bai sat aside, picked up a handkerchief and wiped the rouge gouache on his face and the lip grease on his lips, and was still wearing a skirt, his legs were wide apart, and the skirt that had no sense of disobedience instantly looked nondescript on her.
Gu Hengzhou frowned, didn't rush to answer Zhou Jue's question, and said in a deep voice: "Close your legs and sit well!" ”
Shen Bai made a move, and originally wanted to tear open the collar and take out the two steamed buns stuffed in his chest, but quickly withdrew his hand, put his legs together in a proper manner, and said unnaturally: "This dress is too stumbling and stumbling, young master, Brother Gu, you talk about business first, and I will go to the next room to change my clothes back, so as not to make you look awkward." ”
After Shen Bai finished speaking, he walked out, Lu Jian and Cha Bai were very afraid of Gu Hengzhou and Zhao Che, and hurriedly got up: "The three Langjun are busy with business first, and we will go to serve Xiao Langjun to change clothes first." ”
The two followed Shen Bai to the next room, Shen Bai did not avoid them, took off his shirt and took off the steamed bun neatly.
Green Jian and Cha Bai blushed with shame, lowered their heads and stepped forward to help Shen Bai change his clothes, but after seeing the breast cloth on her chest, her eyes widened, but they didn't scream.
Shen Bai spread out his hand to look at them, and after a while, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Aren't the two sisters going to help me change my clothes?" ”
Cha Bai calmed down first, went to help Shen Bai take off his middle clothes, and said softly: "Xiao Langjun is brave and knowledgeable, presumably his identity is not bad, although the slave family does not understand any profound righteousness, but he can also distinguish between good and evil, Xiao Langjun rest assured, the two of us will never leak your secret." ”
After Cha Bai finished speaking, Lu Jian also came back to his senses, squatted down to help Shen Bai untie his skirt, and echoed: "I should also keep my mouth shut, and I won't betray Xiao Langjun if I am killed." ”
They already knew that Shen Bai was a daughter, but they still screamed as a little gentleman, with good psychological endurance and fast brains.
Shen Bai hooked his lips with satisfaction, and said lightly: "Don't hide it from the two sisters, I am from Hanshang Beijing, and my family has a bit of status in Hanshang Beijing, since I let the two sisters know my secret, I trust the two sisters." ”
Green Jian glanced at Cha Bai, and Cha Bai immediately said, "Xie Xiaolangjun trusts." ”
Shen Bai's clothes had been taken off, and Lu Jian took her clothes over, and Cha Bai carefully helped her put them on.
Shen Bai continued: "There will be some big things in Muzhou City in the past few days, and after we leave, the two sisters may be subjected to a lot of difficulties in Qingyun Pavilion. ”
Cha Bai helped Shen Bai tie his belt, and the green tip also shook his lips, and his face was a little pale.
After they came back today, Hua Niang wanted to trouble them, if Gu Hengzhou hadn't appeared in time, they were afraid that they would be punished by Hua Niang.
If something happens in the city, after Shen Bai and the others leave, the two of them will be unpredictable.
Lujian and Cha Bai both knew what Shen Bai meant by this, hesitated for a while, the two knelt down in front of Shen Bai, and Cha Bai took the initiative to say: "Ask Xiao Langjun to show me a clear path, and the two of us will definitely repay Xiao Langjun for his great kindness in the future." ”
Shen Bai got dressed and sat down in front of the two, and said in a deep voice: "There is no clear way, after returning to Beijing, I need someone to serve me, if the two sisters are willing, when the matter in the city is over, they can go back to Hanjing with me." ”
Going from Muzhou to Hanjing, this is something that Lujian and Chabai couldn't think of before, the two looked at Shen Bai in surprise, and immediately responded, Shen Bai said in a deep voice: "I have such a big secret hidden in my body, I am not safe around me, I may die at any time, and I will also cause other dangers, if you go back with me, you will not be as peaceful as now, think about it and then answer." ”
Cha Bai slammed his head on the ground: "The slave family is willing to follow Lang Jun!" ”
Green Tip also kowtowed: "The slave family is also willing!" ”
Qingyun Pavilion is a pickled place, where many girls' best years are buried, turning into a coquettish smile against their will, and after death, they are wrapped in a mat and thrown into a mass grave, and their bones are eaten by wild dogs.
They all thought that they would live their lives like this, but now they have the opportunity to leave here, that is, they will die immediately after entering Hanshangjing, and they also want to leave this place and see the prosperity of Hanshangjing.
Shen Bai was not surprised by this result, and reached out to help the two of them up.
Although Li Shan is a eunuch, he is a man after all, and there is a master of unknown origin behind him, Shen Bai can't keep him by his side all the time, of course, he has to start cultivating trustworthy people to serve.
And Green Tip and Cha Bai have been rolling in the red dust for so many years, their minds and eyesight are not comparable to ordinary maids, and they may be able to help her do something when necessary, no matter how you think about it, it doesn't hurt to think about it.
After the two stood up, Shen Bai said to the two of them solemnly: "Since you have decided to follow me, you can only listen to me alone in the future, there are disloyal people with two hearts, but if I find out, I will not use it again, do you know what I mean?" ”
The two nodded, and Cha Bai raised three fingers and swore: "Xiao Langjun, don't worry, the two of us will be loyal to Xiao Langjun, even if someone puts the knife on his neck, he will not do anything unfavorable to Xiao Langjun." ”
Shen Bai nodded, very satisfied with the attitude of the two.
Green Tip fetched water to help Shen Bai wash off the rouge on his face, Cha Bai helped Shen Bai comb his hair and tie his hair, and the delicate little girl immediately became the previous boy again.
In order to wear women's clothes before, Cha Bai plucked Shen Bai's eyebrows a little, making the eyebrows more slender, and it would be too weak to pretend to be a man at this time, Shen Bai asked Cha Bai to help him draw his eyebrows thicker.
Lu Jian looked at it from the side and couldn't help but say: "Xiao Langjun is still young, and when he grows up, he will definitely be a jade tree in the wind, and he will be the best in Beijing." ”
Shen Baiying said: "Since this is the case, the master's knowledge and bearing are top-notch in the entire Hanshang Kyoto. ”
Both Green Tip and Cha Bai laughed, Shen Bai also laughed, and after laughing, he looked at the bronze mirror and touched his smooth neck, remembering Gu Hengzhou's previous words, he couldn't help but ask: "Do you know any way to help me disguise my Adam's apple?" ”
Men all have Adam's apple, but she doesn't, it will always arouse suspicion after a long time, in the last life, Shen Bai made an ugly scar on his neck in order not to be discovered, and later in order to make his throat thicker, he even drank a small amount of dumb medicine to burn his throat.
Those methods are effective, but they are too sinful, and in this life, Shen Bai wants to be with Gu Hengzhou well, so naturally he doesn't want to use these methods anymore.
Lujian said: "I've heard of some secret methods, but not yet, Xiao Langjun rest assured, after arriving in Hanshangjing, my sister and I will do our best to think of it." ”
The weather is getting colder, and wearing thicker clothes can cover you for a few months, so there is no need to worry.
Shen Bai should get down, tie up his hair and return to the box, Zhou Jue was still sitting in the room, and Gu Hengzhou pulled Meng Lun out from under the bed.
Meng Lun had already woken up, with rags stuffed in his mouth, and when he saw Shen Bai coming in, he immediately struggled and hummed, wishing that he could immediately jump up and beat Shen Bai fatly.
Shen Bai closed the door and said with a smile: "Why does Young Master Meng look as if he is going to eat me?" Now your life is in our hands, if you are disobedient, be careful of your life. ”
After Shen Bai finished speaking, he looked at Gu Hengzhou: "Brother Gu, has this person been tried before?" Did you have any useful clues? If it's useless, kill it. ”
Killed?
When Meng Lun heard this, his eyes widened, and he struggled even harder, like a fish constantly fluttering on the board.
Gu Hengzhou stared at him coldly, and ordered coldly: "Be quiet!" ”
This look was murderous, Meng Lun was shocked all of a sudden, his eyes turned around in fear, but he didn't dare to make a sound again.
Looking at it like this, Meng Lun should not have been tortured yet, and also, with the identities of Gu Hengzhou and Zhao Che, they are really not the kind of people who will interrogate them personally.
This kind of thing has to be done by her in person.
Shen Bai squatted down in front of Meng Lun, first took out a dagger and slapped him in the face, and said evilly: "Be obedient, don't shout and scream, otherwise I will kill you immediately, understand?" ”
Meng Lun nodded again and again, Shen Bai pulled out the cloth from his mouth, and began to interrogate: "First of all, tell me why you ran away from the Meng family, and what are you going to do with the golden order of the captain of Muzhou." ”
The little life was pinched in his hands, and Meng Lun didn't dare to mess around, so he gasped twice and said truthfully: "My father is seriously ill, the doctor found out that he was poisoned, someone wants to kill him, and some people are secretly watching around the Meng family. ”
Sure enough, he did too many evil deeds and suffered retribution.
However, this is called Captain Meng, and he knows how to let his son move the rescue soldiers when he is dying.
Shen Bai remembered Yue Zhongshou's performance today, and deliberately deceived Meng Lun: "Captain Meng is dead, the most capable person to be promoted in the captain's camp is Yue Zhongshoe, and he is the third brother of the Muzhou Prefecture. ”
Meng Lun suddenly became excited, gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "He dares!" ”
"Why wouldn't he dare?" Shen Bai asked rhetorically, and said bewildermently, "Why don't you want to think about it, in addition to your family, who is the person your father has the most contact with in the school lieutenant camp?" Who is most likely to poison your dad? ”
Meng Lun was dumbfounded, there was no way to refute Shen Bai's words, his breathing gradually became more and more rapid, if everything was really as Shen Bai said, the entire Muzhou was in crisis, and it was impossible for him to leave Muzhou alive.
Fear and anger overwhelmed Meng Lun's brain, and he couldn't help but say loudly: "They don't dare to do this, if they do this, I will poke out all those things, so that no one can think about it!" ”
Shen Bai asked keenly: "What are the things?" ”
Her voice was gentle, but with a cold chill, Meng Lun's face suddenly turned pale, and he shook his head again and again: "No...... Nothing. ”
"Oh, is it really okay?" Shen Bai asked with a smile, Meng Lun was just about to nod, Shen Bai inserted a knife into the wooden board, and the dagger happened to be wedged into the wooden board with Meng Lun's palm, Meng Lun was shocked into a cold sweat, Shen Bai pulled out the dagger, and gently patted Meng Lun's arm and leg twice: "We are not very patient, this question Young Master Meng will answer after you think about it, otherwise this dagger will not know which part of your body will fall next time." ”
Shen Bai's tone was cold, completely lost his usual free and uninhibited, only cold and emotionless ruthlessness, and completely became a different person.
Zhou Jue looked at the hairs standing on end, and couldn't help but glance at Gu Hengzhou.
This kid from the Shen family went to the lieutenant camp for two months to train, and after he came out, he was all wrong, and he didn't know what he had experienced in the lieutenant camp.
Those things are very important, Meng Lun shook his head and said stiffly, "No...... Nothing. ”
It's really not a coffin without shedding tears.
Shen Bai sighed in his heart, his expression was grim, he covered Meng Lun's mouth and nose, held a dagger in his right hand and pulled a beautiful knife flower, neatly inserted it into Meng Lun's left hand, and nailed his whole hand to the wooden board.
Meng Lun's whole body was tense, and his eyes almost fell out of his sockets, but Shen Bai covered his mouth and nose tightly, blocking all his painful screaming breath in his throat and not coming out at all.
Shen Bai said faintly: "There is one pickled thing in Muzhou City, one thing is counted as one, and Young Master Meng had better say them all, after all, death is not terrible, and it is terrible to live without begging for death." ”
Zhou Jue was so painful that his whole body spasmed, and the blood in his palm quickly flowed to the ground.
Zhou Jue felt furious when he saw it, and for a moment he felt that he was not in the flower building, but in the torture room of Dali Temple.
How could the gentle and elegant Taifu teach such a murderous and bloodthirsty son?
After a quarter of an hour, Meng Lun barely calmed down, Shen Bai let go of him, and said: "Captain Meng has been a captain in Muzhou for more than ten years, and you may not remember anything too long, so let's start with the disappearance case in Muzhou City five years ago." ”
Hearing the missing person case, Meng Lun's expression became more and more flustered, he was covered with cold sweat in pain, his face was pale, panting like a cow, Shen Bai reached out and flicked it lightly on the handle of the dagger: "Give me a hint, those missing women are pregnant." ”
The great pain caused by the shaking of the knife handle made Meng Lun sweat like rain, his teeth chattered, as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and he trembled and said, "I...... I didn't know of anyone who was pregnant missing. ”
Shen Bai said: "Then say you know." ”
Although Meng Lun was forced by his father to practice martial arts for a few days, his skills were not good, and his willpower was not strong, after being given a knife by Shen Bai, his psychological defense line collapsed directly, and he didn't struggle anymore, and poured beans to tell everything he knew: "There was no disappearance case in Muzhou City five years ago, but a group of good-looking women from the city were selected to enter Beijing in the name of the draft." ”
Draft?
After the death of the first queen, Emperor Hengde never selected a newcomer to enter the palace, who dared to take people away in the name of the draft? Where did these people go and what did they do after they entered Beijing?
The tip of Shen Bai's tongue pressed on the back molars, but he didn't expect to be involved in such a big matter.
The person who dares to drive the Muzhou Prefecture and the Muzhou Lieutenant to do things in the name of the draft has an absolutely high status in the court, and he still chooses women with good looks, if these women are all enjoyed by themselves, they are afraid that they will die as much as possible, if they are not enjoyed for themselves, and they are not dedicated to the emperor, then what is it used for?
This question doesn't need to be reminded by Shen Bai, Zhao Che can also think of it.
Most of the women are Israeli servants, and such a group of good-looking women, after entering Beijing, they have been carefully trained, and they are the best nails, and the people behind them can put them next to whoever they want.
For five years, no one knew what these women were doing behind their backs.
Gu Hengzhou asked, "Who gave the order?" ”
Meng Lun shook his head: "I don't know, my father and Yue Jingshan have always exchanged letters with people in Beijing, and every time they read the letters, they will burn them directly, and they will not leave any evidence." ”
It was done quite cautiously, which meant that only Yue Jingshan and Meng Heling themselves knew who that person was.
At this time, Meng Lun would not lie, and Shen Bai turned to ask: "The women with superior appearance can only be selected by comparison, what about those women who are not selected, what about them?" ”
Meng Heling almost killed Green Jian when he recruited Green Jian to serve, presumably he was also a heavy color person, Shen Bai didn't believe that he would be so kind to put all the women who failed to be selected home.
Guilt and hesitation flashed in Meng Lun's eyes, Shen Bai saw it clearly, and directly pulled out the dagger from the floor and put it against Meng Lun's neck.
Meng Lun howled in pain, but because of the dagger around his neck, he tried his best to restrain it, gritted his teeth and said, "At that time, a total of eighty women were recruited, thirty were sent to the capital, and the remaining fifty were sent to the twilight ceremony. ”
Fifty, a number that doesn't match the number of people at that sacrifice.
Shen Bai used a little force, the dagger cut a hole in Meng Lun's neck, and said compassionately: "Tell me everything you know, and let the master ask again, and the master will chop off your fingers!" ”
Meng Lun knew that Shen Bai was really here, and he was busy and said: "The city lord of Dusk Worship City, Dusk Kesha, is very arrogant, he relies on his good skills, and always leads troops to secretly enter Muzhou from the Nanheng Plank Road, sometimes it is to kidnap people, sometimes it is to rob things, that time he even directly broke into the school lieutenant's camp and seriously injured my father, and also shouted that he would take the life of Yuejing Mountain, the state capital, within a month. ”
This is indeed very much in line with the high-profile and arrogant style of Dukesha, but Muzhou, as the border between Donghengguo and Zhaoling, has at least 40,000 soldiers in the school captain's battalion.
Nanheng plank road only allows one person to pass, and Dukesha brings more than 100 people into Muzhou at most.
There are 40,000 horses in the camp of the captain of Muzhou, and they can't stop Dukesha and the hundred or so people he brought, are these 40,000 horses tied with straw?
Such a humiliating matter, Yue Jingshan and Meng Heling naturally did not dare to report it.
Zhao Che and Gu Hengzhou's faces were very ugly, and Meng Lun continued: "The matter of selecting people happened just in that month, knowing that Dusk Kesha was lustful, and later Yue Jingshan sent his own soldiers to send those fifty women to the Dusk Worship City, and promised to send two thousand stone of grain to the Dusk Festival every year in the future, which brought peace to Muzhou. ”
Peacefulness?
Sacrificing fifty innocent women in vain, and carrying the imperial court to send food to the twilight sand is not good, this is called betraying the enemy, and they are embarrassed to say that this is in exchange for peace!
Shen Bai's chest was full of anger, and she wanted to kill Meng Lun directly, but she was still sensible, and she continued to ask with anger: "Are all the fifty women sent to the twilight shrine in perfect bodies?" ”
The sacrifice in the city of Dusk caused a sensation in the entire Dongheng Kingdom, which could be seen that the Dongheng Kingdom had never done such a thing before, and if the twenty-five women were selected from these fifty women, it was most likely that the Dusk Kesha was angered for unknown reasons.
After asking that sentence, Shen Bai's hands clenched into fists, and his cheeks were sour.
The four people in the room were surrounded by a dark murderous aura, Meng Lun swallowed his saliva in fear, and stammered: "Dusk Kesha seriously injured my father, and he also used this method to humiliate Muzhou, I ...... I also want to get revenge on him. ”
Shen Bai asked word by word: "So you led people to insult those girls first?" ”
