Nine

A bucket of cold water was poured on Yue Qi's body, and he woke up from his coma.

The weather was very cold at the moment, and he was stripped of his essence again, and he was shivering from the cold. His lips were blue, and the index fingers and thumbs on both hands were all covered by Yue Xiang's nails, and the flesh and blood were blurred. Yue Xiang stood directly opposite, carrying a bloody whip in his hand, with a cruel smile on his face.

"I ...... I've said everything I know...... I've told you all, don't ...... Stop it...... Spare ......"

Yue Qi's body was whipped open and covered in blood. Let the cold water hurt even more to the bone. He begged for mercy repeatedly, half-dead like a leper dog about to die.

"It's all said, not necessarily. Do you think I'm interested in what kind of you and my sister-in-law are tearing their shoes? I don't care how many girls you've slept with. Who sent you to plot against me? Tell me the truth, otherwise you're a good kid. Who else are your comrades? Where are they hiding? ”

"Yes...... It's the old man...... Master asked me to restrain you and not let you mess around. ”

As a result, this answer was exchanged for a few more whips, and Yue Qi was whipped and screamed again and again, shouting that he was telling the truth. Yue Xiang threw the whip and grabbed his face. One hand took out the ecstasy handkerchief from his arms, and it was this thing that helped him get rid of the emotional old man Yue just now.

"My old man is going to let you use this thing to subdue me? He's afraid he doesn't even know what it is. But do I know that our dashing young master still has a relationship with the lower five gates on the rivers and lakes. Look like you like a flower thief! Where did this thing come from? Who gave it to you? If you don't tell the truth, you won't want to sleep with a woman in the future, I will cut off your root of right and wrong, and castrate you to make you a eunuch from now on! ”

After speaking, Yue Xiang pulled out a cold and shining ox ear sharp knife, and the cold metallic feeling made Yue Qi cry in fright, and the whole below shrank into a small ball.

"Are you colluding with gangsters and gangsters to kill me so that they can rob our family property?" In fact, Yue Xiang didn't have much certainty, but this ecstasy was a special prop for the Jianghu snitch Jiangyang thief, and he didn't even have people on the ordinary green forest road, how could this Yue Qi He De have such a thing. Fortunately, he is not proficient in the methods he uses, otherwise he might have caught his way today.

In this chaotic world, you should be careful about everything. It's better to be more attentive than to be calculated by others due to negligence. Although he came from a later life and roughly knows the future historical trend, this does not mean that he is special than others, and he will have to pay the price of blood if he plots to others.

At this moment, Yue Shan came in from outside, carrying a small bag. whispered to Yue Xiang: "This is from his house, this kid has a secret grid on the kang, and the things in it are all contained here, please take a look." ”

Yue Xiang took the pocket and weighed it, and there was a heavy metallic sound, as if it was a silver coin. I looked back at Yue Qi. But he saw that his face was extremely panicked, as if what was in his pocket was more important than his life. Not only was he suspicious, but he reached in and grabbed a handful and took it out to see that it was a handful of yellow gold coins. Yue Xiang was shocked, the main popular currencies in these years were silver and copper, and gold was only available to a few wealthy families. Even their Yue family only has a dozen gold ingots, where did this Yue Qi get the gold?

And he poured out all the contents of his pocket, and there were twenty gold coins, and the weight was fifty or sixty taels. Yue Shan and the others' eyes were dazzled, Yue Xiang picked up one and examined it carefully, but saw that there seemed to be words engraved on the coin, but he couldn't understand what the words were. He went up and grabbed Yue Shan's hair and asked sharply, "Where did all this gold come from?" ”

The development of events at this moment was somewhat unexpected to him, and if there was really someone secretly colluding with him, then the gold must have something to do with it. Willing to spend such a large amount of money, is it an ordinary Jiangyang thief Green Forest bandit can do it?

Yue Qi's face was like ashes, and his whole body trembled.

"Boss, the words on this seem to be the golden text of the Jianzhou barbarian." Li Shoucai picked up one and looked at it, and recognized the words on it. "That's right, it's the tadpole word on the Jianzhou Jurchen. I've seen it before, and I heard that the silver money in the Jianzhou barbarians is different from the style of our Daming, and I've seen the appearance of this gold coin. It is the money used by the barbarians of Jianzhou. ”

"Jianzhou Jurchen!?" Yue Xiang's mind seemed to have exploded, could it be ...... Could it be...... Spy can't be successful!?

Yue Xiang suddenly thought back to the history he knew, although he knew ominous, but it seemed that he had seen it somewhere. It is said that all the battles before Nurhachi in Ning Yuan were strong attacks and cooperation with spies. He also said that Nurhachi was the best at using spies, and later when he attacked Shenyang and Liaoyang, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of the Ming army defended the fortified city, and all of them were sent in advance to attack the city from inside and outside.

And a big reason why Ning Yuan did not fall was that Yuan Chonghuan sent people to find out and destroy the spy network in the city in advance. The Eight Banners Army repeatedly attacked and never received assistance from the internal forces in the city, and finally suffered heavy casualties and returned home.

For a moment, his mind seemed to have some things in mind, could this Yue Qi be a spy sent to Qinghe City by Jianyu? Thinking back to the fact that he used to be the head of the Yue family, if he followed his path today, he would inevitably be imprisoned. And if he tries to get the old man back his life, the family members who were almost dismissed will be grateful to him. Then he regained control of the armed force, and then tried to kill himself and develop a loyal man. In this way, when the army of Jianjian comes to the city one day, he can take the opportunity to respond in the city......

The more Yue Xiang thought about it, the more shocked he became, as a former soldier, he knew how destructive a traitor in a key position could be to a war or even a country. At the time of the 96 Taiwan Strait Crisis, a major general of the General Armament Department proved to have been plotted against by Taiwan's spy department and betrayed to Taiwan all the mobile positions of the Second Artillery Corps and the deployment of ballistic missiles on China's coastal front. In the end, the military operation of the Military Commission to take the outer islands of Kinmen, Matsu and Pengzhu was aborted.

If it had not been for the desperate attack of the nuclear submarines of the North Sea Fleet at that time, perhaps the US aircraft carrier formation would have entered the Taiwan Strait again and rewrote the history of the Korean War.

Could it be that there is such a spy network in Qinghe City? Is this Yue Qi the only one or is he just one of them? When did he become a spy? Did he also develop others? Is Nurhachi ready to make a move on Qinghe? A series of questions made Yue Xiang's heart burn. He hates traitors the most, and for the sake of his own glory and wealth, he pushes thousands of innocent compatriots into the fire pit. This kind of person would not frown at him alive, Yue Xiang would not frown.

"Looks like I'm underestimating you. Yue Qi, I didn't expect you kid to play quite big! Colluded with the Jianzhou barbarians? Did you come to do the internal response on the order of Jiannu? What benefits did those barbarians give you, just a few dozen taels of gold? You betrayed the people of the city for this little money? You're not a fucking human!? ”

"I ...... I'm a ......."

"You fart!" Yue Xiang was furious, and before he could finish speaking, he was slapped in the face and slapped back, and beat back the second half of his words. Then he grabbed him by the neck, put his face in front of him and whispered: "You fucking dare to bite again, believe it or not, I fried you alive in the oil pan and fried you a king calf!" ”

"Yes...... Is it true...... Target...... Plentiful...... Fate ......" Yue Qi was stuck in his throat and couldn't speak vaguely.

"You all get out! No one is allowed to enter this courtyard without me! Yue Shan, take your people to guard the surroundings. Whoever dares to get close will be killed! Yue Xiang's voice was terrifyingly cold. Yue Shan didn't hear what Yue Qi said just now, but he had never seen Yue Xiang's terrifying face, so he didn't dare to slack off, and the person who beckoned him surrounded the courtyard with a sharp blade.

Li Shoucai and Ma Sandao glanced at each other, and also bowed down to withdraw, but were stopped by Yue Xiang.

"You two don't go far, I'll need you later. You are waiting with Yue Shan, and when I tell you to come in, you will come in, understand! Yue Xiang's tone was unprecedentedly harsh, and the two of them agreed to retreat together with Yue Shan. Yue Xiang untied Yue Qi from the tree and pulled him into his house.

"Tell me the truth, and I'll spare your dog's life. Otherwise......" Yue Xiang pulled out a single knife hanging on the wall, which was a Japanese Japanese sword, and it was extremely sharp.

"The old man spares his life, grandpa spares his life......" Yue Qi kowtowed like pounding garlic, "The small ones are all recruited, yes...... It was the old lady who asked me to do this, and I also acted on the orders of the old lady. I...... I...... I can't help it......"

"You fart! How could my father be a traitor for no reason!? ”

"Yes...... It was a message from Jianzhou Tartar, saying that the eldest young master had been caught, and if he wanted to save the eldest young master's life, he would be the internal response of the Tartar. In the future, the Tartars will lay down the Qinghe River, and our Yue family will enjoy endless glory and wealth. This Qinghe City is also under the management of our Yue family......"

"What? Is there such a thing? Yue Xiang's heart jumped twice. I didn't expect Neiying to be my own family. Do you have any internal ghosts who hook up with this Yue Xiang in Mali? Is this kid telling the truth? Suddenly, his knife was directly on Yue Qi's neck, and he said coldly, "Who else is your accomplice in Qinghe City?" Say! ”

In fact, at this time, it was the best choice to report to the official, but he had already made up his mind that this matter must not be known to the government. It is necessary to know that the traitor came out of his own family, and it is necessary to investigate and confirm that his soldiers and horses are the most suspicious, and he may be immediately disbanded and interrogated by torture. At that time, no matter what the result is, the team that I just pulled up will definitely be finished. The only way is to investigate clearly in secret and solve the matter quietly.

"I ...... I don't know if it's a little one...... I really don't know if it's small! ”

"You don't know, my old man lives in seclusion all day long, so he has the opportunity to meet with outsiders. The message must have been passed in by someone, and if you received the money from Jianyu, you must have hooked it up. How could you not know...... Wait, it's you! Yue Xiang suddenly understood. It's a message from your boy to the old man, right? What the fuck do you say you're doing on orders? I think you came up with this idea of plotting me, right!? ”

Yue Qi knew that there were a lot of flaws in his words, but with his IQ, he couldn't think of anything that wasn't flawed when he was in a hurry. Such a drunken man, who brags to the sky on weekdays, is really in a hurry when he encounters something, and he has no idea at all. Now that Yue Xiang caught the flaw in his words, he didn't even know how to defend himself, so he would only kowtow and beg for mercy, and he would lick Yue Xiang's shoes.

"You bastard!" Yue Xiang scolded angrily, flipped his wrist, and the bright sword light brushed Yue Qi's head. One ear flew up in the blood splatter, Yue Qi screamed and rolled on the spot with his head covered, and soon half of his body was stained red with blood.

"I'll tell you the truth, I'll give you one last chance now, or the next knife will stab you in the heart." Yue Xiang stepped on Yue Qi's chest with his foot, and the tip of the knife pressed against his heart......

Outside across the hospital.

Yue Shan stood at the gate of the cross-courtyard, next to Li Shoucai and Ma Sandao. More than a dozen stick boys stood around the courtyard wall with a single knife and an iron ruler. Yue Shan and the two didn't know each other very well, so they didn't have much to say to each other. Ma and Li were listening to the movement inside, but unfortunately they were too far away, and the voices of the people in the room were deliberately low, so even with the skills of the two of them, they couldn't hear clearly.

But they didn't care about these things, Yue Qi's unexpected leak just now made them know enough information. Maybe this Yue family is the culprit of colluding with Jianyu, which further illustrates the crisis situation in Qinghe City. Maybe the army of Jianyu will come at any time, but what they want to hear about is not yet visible.

Time is getting shorter and shorter, but the two don't dare to do it. This is not their land, although the White Lotus Sect is rumored to be a god by the world, what calls for wind and rain to scatter beans into soldiers, it is simply a god descending into the world. But only they know what is inside, and if they meet those who believe in their set and can be fooled, they are not afraid of a thousand. If you don't believe in them, it will be difficult to deal with the dozen or so people in front of you with their own martial arts.

Although the martial arts of the two are good, no matter how high the martial arts are, when the manpower is exhausted, the martial arts are not omnipotent, and how many nails can be crushed if they are covered in iron? Fighting alone may last longer, once surrounded by 100 people, it will be over after a while.

After a while, the sky gradually darkened, but I could hear Yue Xiang calling in the courtyard. After everyone entered, they saw a corpse on the ground, which was Yue Qi. A knife was made in the heart socket, and blood flowed. Yue Xiang beckoned and called over two people to drag the body out to find a place to bury it. Then he instructed Yue Shan to lead the people to wait at the door, listen to him and come in again, and let Li Shoucai and Ma Sandao come in and talk.

Both of them felt that something was wrong, and they looked like they were defending themselves. But after thinking about it carefully, he shouldn't have missed any flaws, so he had to stabilize his mind and enter the house with Yue Xiang

"I don't know what the master commands?" The two of them saluted in unison.

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, the two gentlemen are both masters, I can't afford this master." Yue Xiang looked at them with his shoulders crossed, with an unfathomable smile on his face.

Their hearts chuckled at the same time.

"Where did you start with this, master? I'm just a prisoner who has been assigned to commit a crime, so how can I be a superior person? Ma Sandao was secretly ready for battle, although he was not sure about facing Yue Xiang. Yue Xiang's martial arts skills killed the tiger with his bare hands alone, and the two of them together may not be able to do it.

"Hahaha, the two gentlemen are masters in the White Lotus Sect. Coming to the humble house, I Yue Xiang actually didn't know Mount Tai, and I was ashamed to be an inconspicuous family member by wronging the two of them. Even now, will you not see me as you really are? I, Yue Xiang, have always been with the White Lotus Sect and the well water does not interfere with the river water, I don't know what the two of you deign to do in my family? At the end of the words, Yue Xiang's tone turned sharp, and the snowy sword was pointed directly at the chests of the two......
