The two people who were squatting outside the pawnshop watched their uncle enter the back hall, and were discussing whether to go in and have a look, but when they raised their eyes, they saw the uncle coming out of the pawnshop in a hurry, and the two followed directly without thinking too much.

This time, the uncle was indifferent to the shops on both sides, but kept his head down and hurried, and the two people who followed were very strange, one of them said: "Wang Liuzi, why did the uncle suddenly walk so fast?" Did you spot us? ”

Wang Liuzi also said with a puzzled face: "Who knows, but the second master told us to follow him, and if he finds out, he will say that he is here to protect him." ”

"Well, good... Hey, how did he get into the yard? ”

Walking out of an alley, my uncle suddenly turned into a courtyard, which looked quite big from the outside, but it was a little dilapidated.

Wang Liuzi patted his head and said, "I said why did I run so fast, it turned out that I came here to find someone to meet." ”

Then he said to the other person: "Let's follow up quietly, it's best not to let him find out." ”

"Well, good!" The companion nodded.

It was an abandoned yard, and the houses were dilapidated and overgrown with weeds, from which birds flew up and down from time to time. The uncle stopped and walked in front, as if looking for something, and suddenly stopped and turned around in front of a corner door, Wang Liuzi and the two had no time to dodge and directly took a look at the uncle, which took a closer look, and scared the two of them "wow".

It turned out that the person who followed him all the way was not his uncle, but he was wearing the same clothes as his uncle. Before the two of them came back to their senses, they heard two "poofs" behind them, turned around to look, and found that two people jumped down from the tree behind them, and these three people drew their knives at once, and approached Wang Liuzi and the two.

Wang Liuzi's task today is mainly to monitor the movements of his uncle, and he did not bring weapons, seeing that he was surrounded by others, he tried to stabilize himself in a panic, and said with a smile: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, a few heroes have misunderstood, we are here to find someone, just now I thought that this brother was the person we were looking for, but now it seems that he is looking for the wrong person, let's go, don't disturb a few." As he spoke, he pulled his companion and turned around to walk out.

"Since you're here, why don't we have a drink together and leave!" The two people behind said as they put the knife on the necks of Wang Liuzi and the others.

"Have a drink, it's easy to say, it's easy to say" Wang Liu agreed, dodged suddenly, and quickly pulled out the short knife on his waist and flew towards the two people.

The two saw a cold light flying in, and hurriedly flashed to the side, and Wang Liuzi took the opportunity to pull his companion and run out.

"Chase!" The three people in the back immediately chased after him...

The cell was very dark, with only a glimmer of light coming through a small window in the wall to tell you if it was night or day. There was a damp and moldy smell everywhere, and my uncle wanted to gag when he smelled it, and what was even more terrifying was that from time to time I heard the heavy impact of the chains, and the ghostly howl that seemed to tell you that this was hell.

Suddenly, the cell door was opened with a bang, and an expressionless catcher at the door shouted inside: "Prisoner No. 65, pass the court!" ”

The uncle was so frightened that he instinctively hid back, and said vaguely: "I... I... Don't..."

The catcher couldn't see such a grind, came in and flew a kick, and scolded: "Tell you to rub!" Do you have to invite you personally?! As he spoke, he picked up his uncle's collar and pulled him out.

The uncle was trembling, and was taken to the interrogation room by the catcher, who was half kicked and half pulled, and when he entered the inside, he scared the uncle half to death.

I saw a few people tied to the torture racks against the wall, and a shirtless executioner was whipping a prisoner with his hands tied, and with a piercing whip, the prisoner let out a terrible scream, and a long bloody whip mark suddenly appeared on his body, and a smell of blood also spread. When the uncle saw this scene, he was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and began to vomit. On the other side, there was a prisoner who fainted with his head drooping, and a executioner carrying a bucket of cold water poured directly at the prisoner, and the person was stimulated by the cold water and let out a scream of "ah", which seemed to pierce the cell, and the uncle was so frightened by this scream that he could not get up from sitting on the ground.

The catchers didn't care about the reaction of the criminals, and tied the uncle to the side of the torture rack like a chicken, the uncle was already pale and trembling at the moment, and the torture rack that tied him was also shaken by him and kept making a "got" sound.

Xu Binye set up a pen and paper on the table opposite his uncle, and when he saw his uncle's virtue, he felt that the heat was almost over, so he began the interrogation. In fact, Xu Binye, as a staff member, does not need to participate in the interrogation, but today this matter is not trivial, the letter to General Song in the morning has been sent, and General Song has also promised to send troops to help Wu County order to suppress bandits, and now a complete topographic map is missing. Although Li Zhutou had already explored the road, after all, he did not go deep into the cottage, and he did not know the specific situation in the village, so this uncle became the key to this crackdown on bandits.

According to the report of his subordinates, Xu Binye concluded that this uncle was a person who was greedy for life and afraid of death, so he started the whole pomp and scare him first, and when he was almost scared, at most two whips would be done.

Now Xu Binye stared at the chaff-like people on the torture rack, like a cat looking at a mouse, and felt funny, but he still asked sternly with a straight face: "What's your name?" Where are the people? ”

"Liu... Jingcheng... Yan... Yan Guoren," the uncle replied stumblingly.

"Yan people, why did Yan people go to Luocaoling to be bandits?"

"Big... Adults, small ones are really not bandits..."

"It's not a bandit, you dare to say that you have nothing to do with the bandits in Luocaoling?" Xu Binye said coldly.

"My lord, in... Zai Xia really came from Yan Kingdom to do business. Liu Jingcheng replied with a bitter face.

"Oh, so what kind of business are you doing? What kind of business needs to run jewelry shops and pawnshops? ”

Liu Jingcheng was shocked: It's over, this must have been targeted for a long time.

Xu Binye leaned forward and said sharply, "What did you do yesterday when you ran to the broken temple at the bottom of the mountain?" Hurry up and summon it honestly, so as not to suffer from the flesh and skin! ”

Liu Jingcheng was so frightened that he didn't know how to answer, at this time, Xu Binye was a color, and the executioner next to him came over and raised the whip in his hand and threw it directly.

The whip fell, and a layer of skin and flesh on his body burst open, and there was a hot pain, Liu Jingcheng screamed "ah", and tears flowed out.

"Liu Gongzi, it's time to talk about it." Xu Binye said slowly.

"I... I really have nothing to do with them," Liu Jingcheng said with tears in his eyes.

"Smack" was another whip, this time more ruthless, and Liu Jingcheng let out a more tragic scream.

"I... I said, my sister... Taken by their big... The big boss has taken a fancy to it, and he has to... To marry my sister, I... I just... Come down the mountain to get the dowry..."

"Oh, dowry, is the ruined temple under the mountain your point of contact?" Xu Binye asked

"No, no... Seeing the executioner raise the whip again, Liu Jingcheng was so frightened that he hurriedly said: "It was I who hid some of the purchased property there, for... In order to find another way out... Adults can... You can send someone to see it..."Now I can only give up my wealth to save my life.

"Oh?" Xu Binye rolled his eyes and asked, "Then you are the bandit's eldest brother, why do you want to run away if you don't have such a good backer?" ”

"Big... My lord, I'm also good... Good people, no... I want to be a bandit..."

"According to you, Lord Ben really has to open up the net, right? However, according to the laws of this dynasty, anyone who has an affair with a bandit will be a tribal, and you are the brother-in-law of the bandits, and this relationship cannot be abandoned. ”

"Your Excellency... I was forced... It's the bandit who wants to marry my sister, and I can't help it, woo woo woo..."

"For your experience, Lord Ben is also very sympathetic, but the law is like a mountain..."Xu Binye stared at Liu Jingcheng at the right time and said: "However, if you can make meritorious contributions, not only can you be exempted from your sin, but you may also be rewarded." ”

"How to wear a sin... Make contributions? Liu Jing seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw.

"You lead us the way and go and kill the bandits in the grass ridge!"

"Ah~ this... This "Liu Jingcheng was a little embarrassed, and he wanted to cheat money at the beginning, but he didn't want to end their nest, so it was too much...

Just thinking about it, I heard Xu Binye not only say slowly: "This bandit is a capital crime, Lord Ben really pities you when he says to you like this, you must know that every grass and tree in this ten thousand counties is under our control, even if you don't lead the way, we can still find it, and we can still kill this bandit." Come, look what this is..."Xu Binye paced up to Liu Jingcheng, took out a map and put it in front of his eyes, and said: "This is the road map of your mountain in the grass ridge, can you see what is different?" ”

Liu Jingcheng took a closer look, it was true, the path up and down the mountain, as well as some of the characteristics of the terrain were marked, it seems that the imperial court is ready to cut down the grass ridge, or know the current affairs...

Seeing that he had broken through the opponent's psychological defense, Xu Binye continued: "This is just a path map to enter the village, and the situation in your village is also very clear to this person. I might as well tell you that even if you go back today, you may not have a good life, because you have been targeted by those bandits, and I will show you something..."

As he spoke, he took out a short knife and put it in front of Liu Jingcheng's eyes, Liu Jingcheng was shocked again, this... It seems to be a flying knife used by the second master's subordinates.

Xu Binye looked at Liu Jingcheng's surprised expression with great satisfaction, and said, "As soon as you leave the mountain today, someone will follow you all the way, that is to say, your brother-in-law no longer trusts you!" How about now, should you think about your future path? ”

Liu Jingcheng raised his head with difficulty and said: "Today is the day of the big wedding, the sentry posts on the mountain will relax their vigilance, I can take you into the mountain, but I have one condition..."

"Say, on what terms?"

"Leave me some of my belongings, and don't hurt my sister, let us go afterwards!" When you die, you still put your money first!

"Yes, but Lord Ben also said ugly things ahead, if you dare to fool us, Lord Ben will make your life worse than death!" After speaking, he glared at Liu Jingcheng fiercely, and then turned his head to shout to the catcher outside the door: "Prepare a room for Liu Gongzi in the back office, and then bring the white medicine for knife wounds!" ”
