"My lord, Chai Song Chai Hou Ye has already lived in the Dali Temple under his own supervision, and it is not far from the few people he personally sent in!"

Xue Luping was dressed in brocade clothes at this time, like a businessman on the rich side, holding the fruit freshly peeled by the maid in his hand, listening to the official in front of him, talking about the news that had not yet been made public in Beijing.

It has been three days since Zhou Wenbin went out of the city in the rain that day, and there are still three days before Xi Yuanxiu instructed Xu to enter Yangzhou!

But why did Xu Lai still not move after Zhou Wenbin arrived in Scoop City!

Because Xu Lai saw the handwriting in the origami, it was not written by one person.

It turned out that day in Guangxing Building, when Xue Luping was confronting Xi Yuanxiu and a few others, Liu Xiao quietly opened Xi Yuanxiu and folded the origami, and then added the word "immediately" smartly.

Although Liu Xiao was often rushed by Xi Yuanxiu to write excerpts and imitate Xi Yuanxiu's notes, he was still discovered by Xu Yuanxiu at a glance.

Xu Lai mistakenly thought that Zhou Wenbin added it on his own initiative, and wanted to let him help him capture Jia Daya and invite credit, but seeing that Xi Yuanxiu had mentioned this person to him, he just left him in the mansion and did not take any action.

And if you want to talk about that Chai Hou Ye, you have to say that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is now a little proud!

Just after sending his imperial brother and brother to prison that day, he immediately sent someone to dispatch the Eagle Falcon used by the military department to transmit emergency military information, wrote a few strokes, tied them to his legs, and sent them to Chang'an.

Even Xue Luping, who was silently watching from the sidelines at the time, didn't expect that this prince was so anxious, and he was about to put his imperial brother to death as soon as he had some evidence.

After the news came to Beijing the next day, he didn't expect it to be sent back today, which also dispelled the last trace of worry in Xue Luping's heart.

Xue Luping looked at the autumn rain outside the window getting heavier and heavier, and ordered expressionlessly: "Go, add beds and bedding to Xi Yuanxiu and the two in prison, if these two people are infected with the wind and cold because of this rain, the prince will definitely blame him, as for the king who was involved in the crime, he threw more straw into it, he was injured, and he didn't eat much, I don't want him to die here with me, if he wants to die, he has to die on the way back to Beijing!" ”

"Yes, sir!"

On the night of Li Yuanhuan's imprisonment, those officials tortured him under the instruction of the prince in the name of investigating the case.

At first, the jailers were still a little unable to do anything, afraid of the high-flying Li Zi, and then finally under the coercion of Xue Luping, they began to torture Li Yuanhuan.

Li Yuanhuan looks very weak, but he is extremely strong and resolute in his bones, he and Bian Ying, after being tortured by this torture in various ways, except for a little water to moisten their throats, they have not said a word.

Whenever the whip was whipped on Li Yuanhuan and the others, Liu Xiao in the opposite cell would tremble uncontrollably because of the sound of the whip on his body.

Every time Xi Yuanxiu felt that it was about the same, he would stop the executioners and ask them to prepare a meal for him.

Moreover, in the past few days, the food eaten by these four people is also very different, Xi Yuanxiu can see a little meat even in the early morning, and in the prison opposite, there are wild vegetables in wooden barrels, and there is still unwashed sediment in it.

Liu Xiao was also glad that he was not born in the palace many times, otherwise he would either be a father-in-law or a corpse.

......

......

"Lord Zhou, you can't tell that elm head clearly, besides, he and the old man are in this yamen, I think I should go to the yamen in other counties and find someone to come over!"

The current Zhou Wenbin and his guards live in the same house that Bian Ying used to live in, and this guard of his is now asking Zhou Wenbin to go to other yamen to move rescuers.

At this time, there was a burst of laughter outside the house, Cao Cheng opened the window and looked at the two people in the house and said with a smile: "Since the two of you are here, you can live this last night with peace of mind, anyway, tomorrow will be the day, what the adults want to check, you should be able to go tonight!" ”

Zhou Wenbin already knew Cao Cheng's identity, but after getting along for the past few days, he didn't dislike Cao Cheng too much, so he replied: "The official does think that this Xinghuayuan and Xue Luping can't escape now, but there must be nothing to be done by such a young man, it seems that Lord Xi should still have people left in the city, but does Mr. Cao have any other clues to talk to the official?" ”

Cao Cheng looked at Zhou Wenbin seriously and said: "Hong Shichang is the biggest salt seller in Yangzhou in private, he must also know that you have now arrived in Huangcheng, and you are here for Xinghuayuan, presumably he can't get away because of other things, but after he solves those things, I'm afraid that he will find it soon!" ”

Zhou Wenbin was taken aback after hearing this, and muttered in his mouth: "It turns out that the mighty dart bureau also has a relationship, then he plus Xue Luping, this Yangzhou production and transportation of illegal salt is really seamless, then this Ma Anbang's death is really too unjust, he should have just bumped into the private salt team that did not play the banner of the mighty dart bureau on that day, so he caused himself to be killed, this time the matter is really troublesome!" ”

Cao Cheng put the dilapidated teapot used to warm his hands by the window, and said to Zhou Wenbin in the house: "And what your attendant said just now, it is naturally unrealistic to move the rescue soldiers. ”

The attendant also suddenly realized, and hurriedly said: "I said that on the day of the fire case, why would those magistrates go to Yangzhou Mansion so quickly!" ”

Now things have exceeded Zhou Wenbin's expectations, he spontaneously felt powerless, and suddenly felt dry mouth, and didn't know how to calm himself.

Cao Cheng smiled again when he saw Zhou Wenbin's condition: "It's okay, it's enough to have that one!" ”

After speaking, he pointed in the direction of Xu Lai's room, then picked up the shabby teapot and left!

After Cao Cheng left, Zhou Wenbin held the side of the bed with his hand, lowered his head and said silently: "I hope!" ”

......

......

The autumn rain that did not stop for several days was falling down, and the fine rain silk weaved a gray curtain between the heavens and the earth.

It was already approaching dusk, and it was dripping down, like a picture with no end.

However, the four people in the yamen of Huangcheng did not mean to go back to the room to rest, but put on the robes and hats used to block the rain, and prepared to set off for Xinghuayuan.

At this time, there are no pedestrians on the road, only those places that are still entertaining guests, and they are still brightly lit.

That Xinghuayuan is naturally one of them, and it is also the largest one in the city.

Xu Lai came to that day and Xi Yuanxiu lay under the wall above, and seemed to remember something, standing under the wall and standing quietly for a while.

After coming back to his senses, he directly grabbed the half-exposed collar under Zhou Wenbin's robe, grabbed Zhou Wenbin, and flew up directly with Zhou Wenbin just like he and Xi Yuanxiu went to the wall that day.

The other two people under the back wall of Xinghua Courtyard also quickly climbed the wall with the help of the old tree next to them.

In this way, the four of them took advantage of the autumn rain and night to observe the situation in the courtyard.

After about half an hour, I finally saw Jia Daya, who I hadn't seen for many days, and the carriages covered with sacks with felt cloth.

Zhou Wenbin looked at the young man with good skills next to him, and asked in a low voice, "This person is Jia Daya?" ”

Xu Lai didn't speak, just nodded slightly, and then said to Cao Cheng and the others on the other side of Zhou Wenbin: "You two drive those salt trucks back!" ”

Zhou Wenbin wondered why the young man suddenly said such nonsense, now that those salt sellers were driving the car, why did he suddenly say that he would let those two go to catch it.

And even if you bring yourself here, what's the use, I guess it's a problem to even go back to Yangzhou now.

Just when he was still thinking about it, Jia Daya had already pushed the back door of Xinghuayuan open, and seven or eight carriages full of salt trembled out of the backyard.

At this moment, Xu Lai jumped up directly from the wall, took two empty steps, and landed directly in front of Jia Daya, and before Jia Daya's open mouth could shout, he was directly stopped by Xu Lai with his hand and froze in place.

And the few men who were still driving the carriage in front didn't know anything about what was happening behind.

Xu Lai turned his head and saw the convoy that was a little difficult to see clearly because of the heavy autumn rain, so he put Jia Daya in the position near the door, and then stepped on the ground full of mud and sand, and with his feet strong, he directly rose from the ground, and in two or three breaths, he came to the team transporting illegal salt.

It all happened so fast that the men fell out of the carriage without even screaming.

As the blood in this autumn rain flowed on the ground, when the three people walked to the team, only the seven or eight corpses remained, and Xu Lai, who was only left for the backs of these few people.

Xu Lai put his Qingfeng sword into the sheath, and walked towards Jia Daya without saying a word, and Jia Daya, who was still frozen and couldn't move, but his eyes were full of fear, dragged him directly to the carriage, and then threw it on one of them.

Zhou Wenbin's guard swallowed his saliva and said in a hoarse voice: "This is the end, I just came here to catch the car, I knew that I wouldn't go up to the wall!" ”

Cao Cheng's face under the hat showed an indescribable expression, and he said to the guard: "I shouldn't have gone up to that wall!" ”

Xu Lai walked in the front without saying a word, Zhou Wenbin followed, and then the two people in the rain were driving the carriages, and the people in Tsing Yi who appeared twice at the critical moment were in the dim corner at this time, looking at them, and then silently disappeared!

Xu Lai deliberately slowed down and waited for the three people behind, just when the autumn rain had slowly stopped, the four of them also returned to the yamen, as well as the carriages, and Jia Daya, who was drenched in the rain.

Zhou Wenbin is not a person who practices martial arts, he tossed back and forth just now, and he was already a little tired, but when Xu watched the two people set up the carriage, he walked to the gate of the yamen first, ready to go in first to rest.

At the moment when Zhou Wenbin pushed the door open, Xu Lai directly pulled out the sword in his hand, and then threw it towards Zhou Wenbin, and the guards below saw this scene and couldn't help but exclaim: "Be careful, adults!" ”

Zhou Wenbin also heard the whistling sound from behind, but he didn't know what to do, just when he felt that he was going to be blocked by the strange young man's sword, he saw that inside the door that he hadn't completely opened, a crossbow arrow was actually shot!

And the sword body of Xu Lai's sword just blocked the sudden crossbow arrow, and then the Qingfeng sword was directly inserted into the doorpost at the entrance of the yamen.

Just when Zhou Wenbin was in shock, a deep voice came from inside: "What a breeze!" ”
