Chapter 43 Stealing Beams and Changing Pillars
Shen Yunche sent someone to secretly investigate and found that the fire was not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster.
Because after the inn was burned down, Shen Yunche sent someone to check it out, and found that the inn smelled of fire oil, indicating that someone deliberately set it on fire and was going to burn someone to death.
Shen Yunche always felt that this matter was related to Jing'er, and the object they wanted to burn to death was Jing'er, except for Jing'er, there was only me, and it was possible that others would be jealous and want to kill me. However, there is another possibility, that is, the other party wants to kill two birds with one stone, not only to kill Jing'er, but also to kill me. That's why the entire inn was burned.
In any case, he wants to find out that this matter should not be done by his father, if his father wants to kill Jing'er, he should not light a fire and set the entire inn on fire, which will not only hurt innocent people, but also hurt me, his methods are not ruthless to that extent.
Zhong Licong here set off in full gear, left the stockade, and returned to Quanzhou, where he was detained in a cell along with Batian, Saitian, Burning Heaven and Jingtian.
After a few days, Ye Xi prepared to leave Jialin Pass.
Shen Yunche didn't stop her, even if he stopped her, he couldn't stop her, in front of her, he would never be able to win. However, he had to personally escort her to Rongjiang State, so he was relieved.
So the two went on the road together and came to the capital of Rongjiang State, Zhiwan City.
Ye Xi went back to his prime minister's mansion, he found an inn to rest, and left Zhiwan City without saying goodbye to Ye Xi the next day, he didn't dare to say goodbye, otherwise he wouldn't be able to leave.
As soon as Ye Xi returned home, he wrote a letter to his eldest brother, indicating that he had returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion and asked him not to worry.
Zhong Licong stayed in Quanzhou for a few days, and the whole army was ready to return to Yuling City.
His eldest brother received a letter from his sister in the middle of the road, and when he saw the contents of the letter, saying that she had returned to the prime minister's mansion safely, he was ecstatic.
He told His Royal Highness King Ming about this, and after King Ming read the letter, he felt a lot more relieved.
Zhong Licong asked the soldiers to return to Zhiwan City, and he and the prime minister escorted the four bandit leaders to Yuling City to report to the emperor.
At this time, Ye Xi was worried about his brother, so he packed his bags and prepared to go to Yuling City.
At this moment, Zuoqiu Xuhe, since he arrested Wan'er, only knew that Xiao Xi had been rescued, and he felt that the person who rescued Xiao Xi was Shen Yunche, the king of Yue.
Zuo Qiu Xuhe knew that she was safe and sound, so he left Quanzhou City with peace of mind and returned to his own Xidi Kingdom.
After Ye Xi arrived in Yuling City, Zhong Licong and Ye Yi arrived two days early at this moment.
Ye Xi still lived in his own courtyard, and after he arrived, he heard that the emperor had issued an order yesterday to prepare to execute the four brothers of the Sand Gang in three days.
She secretly plotted to save the four of them, and then stole the beams and changed the pillars. Although these four people robbed their homes, they did not hurt the lives of the merchants, but only robbed their goods, as for the looting of Quanzhou City, the same is true, they only robbed things, so they did not die, but the law of Rongjiang State stipulates that all bandits and bandit leaders will be killed! The rest of the personnel were assigned to the frontier and exiled to the army.
She has no way to change the laws of Rongjiang Kingdom, but there is a way to save them, and besides, they are strong in martial arts, and if she saves them, she may be able to take them for her own use.
Ye Xi found four death row prisoners who were similar to them, and on the day of the execution, Ye Xi secretly sent someone to the execution ground.
This time, instead of beheading, a few people drank poison, and it was Ye Xi who went to the emperor to ask for it, so that they could keep the whole corpse. The emperor couldn't resist her, so he had to agree to her.
On the day of the execution, Ye Xi sent people to deliberately create a disturbance in robbing the law field, so that he could secretly steal the beams and change the pillars.
At noon that day, Ye Xi disguised herself as a man and secretly gave Xuanzhu a look and let him start.
So Xuanzhu led a group of black-clothed people and flew to the execution ground, ready to rob them.
When the people below saw this scene, they immediately became a pot of porridge and fled one after another, for fear of harming themselves.
This scene shocked the warden, who was stunned for a few seconds, and then shouted, "Someone! Come on, someone's robbing the Dharma field! ”
So all the officers and soldiers surrounded them, and the men in black and the officers and soldiers fought.
The warden was shocked and kept saying, "Come on, come on!" Surround the condemned prisoners and prevent them from saving lives! ”
The four people on the field looked confused, who had such great ability to rob the law field, and also saved the four death row prisoners.
The prison officer had no choice but to send someone to escort the four of them back to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment and re-execute them tomorrow.
Ye Xi understood that the prisoner was going to send them back to the prison, which was falling into his trap.
When the people were escorted to the halfway, Xuanzhu on this side had already sent someone to intercept them in the halfway.
They flew to the prisoner cart, and the group of officers and soldiers immediately stabbed at them with their halberds.
The man in black surrounded the prisoner car, Xuanzhu sprinkled some white powder, and after all the four people in the prisoner car were stunned, he split the iron lock of the prisoner car with a sword, and then sent a few people, one to resist the other, and the people resisted and ran.
At this moment, a whistle was heard, and several large horses appeared here, and they moved in the direction of the horses as they killed.
More than a dozen people got on the horse at the same time and galloped away.
The officers and soldiers pursued relentlessly, and on the way out of the city, Xuanzhu and them were divided into two teams. One team ran east with four people, and one team ran west with four people.
Xuanzhu here ran to the east with four people, and the other few people took four death row prisoners who had been selected earlier, waiting for the arrival of the group of officers and soldiers.
When the group of officers and soldiers surrounded them, they had already come to the edge of a cliff, only to hear the man in black at the head shout, "They are our enemies, and they can only die at our hands." ”
As they spoke, they threw the four of them into the ground, and each of them gave them a sword, which pierced the heart, and then threw them under the cliff.
The leader of the general was so angry that his face turned red, they killed the condemned prisoner, how should he go back to the business.
I only listened to his cold order, "Catch them for General Ben, and catch them back to hand them over!" ”
The four men in black plus the one who led them, a total of five people, and they fought with this group of officers and soldiers.
The group of people Xuanzhu is looking for, but their own subordinates, they are all trained by themselves, so that one day, they can help their own young lady.
When these killers became a country, they had secretly completed their training. At that time, he was ready to use this group of people to secretly rescue Miss, but Miss was rescued by Ye Gongzi.
Xuanzhu here took a few people to a forest outside the city, when he came to the bottom of a mountain cliff, he gently pressed a sharp stone on the stone wall, only to hear a loud rumbling sound, and suddenly a small door one meter high appeared next to him. The officers and soldiers who followed Xuanzhu had already been thrown away by them.
When they entered, they saw a road, and the walls on both sides of the road were repaired with oil cups, and the small flames of the oil cups illuminated the whole road. They threw the four of them into a room, and Xuanzhu left, returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and gave Ye Xi a gift.
When he changed his clothes and returned to Yuling City, the city gate was closed, and the people had to search them one by one.
Xuanzhu rode his horse and walked to the gate of the city, and the officers and soldiers stopped him and told him to dismount, and they wanted to check.
Xuanzhu was fearless, dismounted without sadness or arrogance, took out his token, and saw that the other party's token was engraved with the four big characters of the guard Xuanzhu, and the back was engraved with the three big characters of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
That person was a little puzzled, why were the people from the Prime Minister's Mansion outside the city, shouldn't they be in the Yuling Palace?
He asked suspiciously, "Since you are the guard of the Prime Minister's Mansion, why don't you stay in the Yuling Palace to protect your master, what are you doing outside the city?" ”
Xuanzhu replied calmly, "I didn't accompany the prime minister and the young lady to Yuling, it was a few days ago, the young lady wrote me a letter, saying that she was kidnapped more than a month ago, and I felt that there were too few people around me to protect her, so the young lady sent me to protect the young lady." ”
That young general also heard about the Prime Minister's sister, the current Princess Lingping was kidnapped by sand bandits, if so, then this matter must have nothing to do with the Prime Minister's Mansion, because who would be so stupid to save the person who once robbed him.
The young general handed him the token and said apologetically, "Xuan Guard, please!" ”
Xuanzhu put the token in his arms, rode on the horse, and entered Yuling City.
When he returned to Yuling City, Ye Xi was waiting for him at his own pharmacy in Yuling City.
When Xuanzhu entered Boren Hall, came to the second floor, and entered Ye Xi's room, Ye Xi lowered his voice, "How is it?" ”
Xuanzhu sat there and nodded, "Miss, don't worry, I have already detained them in Lingxu Pavilion." ”
Ye Xi nodded, "Well, remember, take care of them, and when this matter becomes smaller in a few days, I will go out of the city to see them." ”
After the four people here woke up from their coma, they saw the unfamiliar environment around them, and Batian looked dazed, "Third brother, where is this?" Sai Tian shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.
He then said, "Big brother, since someone has saved us with great effort, he will show up this morning, so let's wait!" ”
Three days later, in the afternoon of that day, Ye Xi went out of the city and came to the forest under the pretext of curing his illness.
She sent people to spare a few laps outside the city to prevent someone from following her before she dared to enter the Lingxu Pavilion.
Lingxu Pavilion was an underground attic secretly established by Ye Xi, and it was inhabited by people she had secretly trained.
The current Lingxu Pavilion, Zhiwan City and Yuling City are all there, and she doesn't plan to establish other places, she plans to establish secret contact points in other places, using medicine shops, jade shops, and wood shops as strongholds, and installing people from Lingxu Pavilion.
After Ye Xi entered the Lingxu Pavilion, he came to the room where they were being held and saw the four of them.
Batian sat on a chair and snoozed with his head propped up, and Burning Sky sat at the table, pouring wine.
Saiten sat at the table, holding a book of war, and was reading, while Jingtian was sitting at the table, holding a cup of tea in his hand, and drinking it gently.
Xuanzhu stood behind Ye Xi and helped Ye Xi push the door open, and when her figure appeared in front of them, their faces were full of shock.
They never imagined that she was the one who rescued them, and they did not understand why she had to risk the crime of killing her head to save her captors.
Ye Xi didn't beat around the bush and spoke directly, "I know you have a lot of doubts in your hearts, so I'll make it clear to you." Are you wondering why I want to save you?
Two reasons, one, I don't think you deserve to die. Although you robbed the merchants, you did not kill people as the people rumored, you only robbed their goods, as for burning and looting the city of Quanzhou, it is even more nonsense, you just robbed the wealth of a few bullies in the city, and then distributed the things to the poor people. So, I don't think you guys should be damned.
Two, I want you to be my men. Of course, you can choose for yourself in this matter, and I will not force it.
If you don't want to, you can leave on your own, but you must not say the existence of Ling Xuge, otherwise, even if it is the end of the world, I will hunt it down to the end!" ”
Ye Xi laid out the question and looked at them, "I'll give you six hours to think about it, and when you think about it, tell me." ”
After she finished speaking, she got up and left the room, and at this time, the priest behind her was extremely puzzled, "Since you saved us and want us to become your subordinates, then if we don't agree, what should you do?" He didn't believe that there was such a stupid woman in this world who saved the people who harmed him and was willing to let them go.
Ye Xi turned around, gentle and indifferent, "It's still the same sentence, I should let you go." ”
After she finished speaking, she went out, Xuanzhu didn't understand, "Miss, you saved them, if they leave, wouldn't it be in vain, anyway, they can't escape, it's better to force them to comply." ”
Ye Xi shook his head, "Xuanzhu, why don't you understand, if you force them, how can they be sincere to me." Besides, as I said a long time ago, everyone is born with the right to choose, and no one has the right to force the other to make a choice.
And the person I want is absolutely sincere to me and will never betray me. On the contrary, they are just forced to become my subordinates, so sooner or later they will betray me one day, what is the use of me coming to such subordinates? Xuanzhu didn't expect his young lady to think so far-reaching, and he had an admiring face.
The few people sitting inside heard the conversation outside with their internal force, and they couldn't help but be shocked, they didn't expect that woman to be so smart.
Sai Tian was not surprised by a few other people, he had long felt that that woman was blue-hearted, clever and cunning, not like an ordinary woman.
Batian asked his third brother, "Third brother, what do you think?" Big brother listens to you. ”
Sai Tian said lightly, "Big brother, please consider this matter for your own consideration, I believe in her, do what she says, if any of us is unwilling, she will definitely let him go." ”
The other three were also convinced of the words of the sacrifice to the heavens, after all, others saved them, so why did they do so much and kill themselves.
Six hours passed, and Ye Xi came to their room again, "How are you thinking about it?" ”
The four of them knelt down towards Ye Xi and bowed, "My subordinates meet the pavilion master!" "The voice was firm and powerful, like a big decision had been made.
Ye Xi smiled warmly, "It's really decided, and I will never regret it!" She asked anyway.
The four replied impassionedly, "Yes! No regrets! ”
Ye Xi smiled, "Okay, since you have decided, then from now on, you will be a member of my Lingxu Pavilion big family.
Remember, what I want is absolute loyalty to Ling Xuge, if you dare to betray, I will never spare him! ”
The four of them knelt on the ground, "The subordinates swear allegiance to the pavilion master, if there is any betrayal, may the sky thunder!" They resolutely replied.
Ye Xi shook his head, "You don't need to swear, because I never believe in the oath, I only believe in what you will do in the future, this is the best way to judge whether a person is sincere." ”
Saitian didn't expect the woman in front of her to see people so thoroughly, indeed, as she said, oaths are the most unbelievable thing in this world, because people's hearts are unpredictable.
