"Wang Tanzhi agreed with me that if there is any news, put a stone in the mouth of the stone lion on the left in front of the Chenghuang Temple in the east of the city, and he will come to me!"

Jia Yue stared at Cui Ren coldly, "Cui Ren, this official knows that Wang Tanzhi has the grace to save your life and carry you, but you must know that now Wang Tanzhi has betrayed the emperor and the great cadres for personal gain, if you want to destroy with Wang Tanzhi, no one can stop you, but you should be very clear about the consequences of deceiving this official, if you deliberately say the wrong way in this matter, this official will definitely make your life worse than death!" ”

Cui Ren has been tortured to the point that he is no longer human, and the cruel torture makes him unable to hold on anymore, he is extremely weak, "What I said is true, you kill me, please don't torture me like this again!" ”

"Whether or not I want to continue to torture you depends on whether what you confess is true!"

After Jia Yue finished speaking, he shouted: "Zhang Sui! ”

A presiding official next to him stood up and promised: "The subordinates are here!" ”

"What time is it?"

"Back to Si Zheng, now Shen Shi is just a little later!"

Jia Yue said: "It will be dark in half an hour, quickly lead the team to set a trap in Cui Ren's house, and then send someone to cover up his appearance and body to go to the Chenghuang Temple in the east of the city, and rush to Cui Ren's house after putting a stone in the lion's mouth on the left side of the door, if Cui Ren did not lie, Wang Tanzhi will definitely go to Cui Ren's house tonight to find him, if Cui Ren lies, Wang Tanzhi will naturally not go to the net!" ”

"No!"

In a house in the south of the city, more than a dozen field agents of the former lawsuit were eating, charcoal was burning in the brazier in the house, and these people eating around the brazier were acting neatly one by one, they were all Wang Tanzhi's henchmen.

Wang Tanyi said while eating: "Don't be in such a hurry, you are all full and well-fed, there are still many in the pot!" ”

That being said, everyone kept stuffing food into their mouths, taking a sip of soup from time to time, and the whole room was full of noise, all of which were the sound of eating.

Someone finished eating first, began to check the weapons and equipment, first took off the coat, put on a set of close-fitting cowhide armor, although its defensive power is not as good as the iron armor, but it can block some attacks, put on a thick short sheepskin jacket and hang a short knife on the left waist, hang a short crossbow on the right waist, tie a dagger on the outside of the calf, and then carry a bundle of ropes, and put a cloak on the outside.

Then he finished eating one after another, and also began to prepare, Wang Tanzhi had already learned the location of his family's detention through the inside line of King Jing's Mansion, and they wanted to follow Wang Tanzhi to save people.

At this time, Wang Tanzhi's henchman Gong Yehong walked up to him and hugged his fists: "Si Zheng, could this be a trap?" ”

Wang Tanzhi put down the dishes and chopsticks when he heard this, "Of course it's a trap, King Jing's purpose in arresting my family is to lure me to show up and kill me!" ”

"That'······ What is Si Zheng going to do? ”

Wang Tan Zhidao: "Since the matter has come to this point, I will not hide it from you, more than half a year ago my brother-in-law He Fang owed a huge gambling debt, in order to repay the debt, he secretly betrayed the private information of officials on the black market, I don't want this matter to be discovered by King Jing, he used this to blackmail me, forced me to obey him, you also know that once King Jing played this matter to His Majesty, I can't say it even if I have ten mouths, forced in desperation, I have to be coerced and controlled, but it is obvious that this matter has not been hidden from Your Majesty, before Your Majesty was fighting abroad, There is no time to doppelganger, and now that His Majesty is back, how can he tolerate that the lawsuit is no longer under his control? So I was transferred to the Western Regions to facilitate the investigation, and then I was dismissed and wanted, the reason why Your Majesty has not moved King Jing is that he has not found conclusive evidence yet, and he wants to move King Jing, I am the only witness, so the emperor wants to arrest me, and King Jing wants to kill me! ”

"I've been hiding, King Jing was anxious, and came up with a poisonous plan to use my family's safety to lure me up, but knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, I have to lean towards Tiger Mountain!"

"I plan to divide the troops into two ways: Gong Yehong, you take ten people to King Jing's Mansion, most of the power in King Jing's hands should be transferred to other courtyards, and there should not be many people left in the palace, you kill me in, don't leave me alive, and the others will follow me to the other courtyard to save people!"

"No!"

Wang Tanzhi looked at his subordinates, hugged his fists and said: "Brothers, this time is the last time I Wang Tanzhi asks you for help, if the action is successful, we will go our separate ways in the future, and never meet again, I have left everyone a piece of money and a new identity at the place where I contacted you, you take it to find a place where no one knows to live!" If that's not possible, I'll try to let you go first! ”

Gongyehong took the lead in bowing: "I'll swear to the death to save the adult's family!" ”

At this time, there was a knock on the door outside the courtyard, and Wang Tanzhi immediately asked everyone in the house to get up, and sent Gong Yehong to take a look.

After a while, Gongyehong attracted a brother of his own, who whispered in Wang Tanzhi's ear: "There is an extra stone in the lion's mouth on the left side of the gate of the Chenghuang Temple in the east of the city!" ”

Wang Tanzhi understood that this was Cui Ren contacting him, indicating that there was a big move inside the lawsuit, he looked outside, it was already dark at this time, and he wanted to lead the team to the palace to save people, if he went to see Cui Ren first at this time, and then led the team to the other courtyard to rescue people, he would not be able to avoid Jin Wuwei's night patrol.

After some consideration, Wang Tanzhi instructed another henchman, Fu Zhongyun: "Cui Ren should have returned home at this time, you go to see him, ask him what he wants to see me, and then immediately rush to meet me outside the palace courtyard!" ”

"Understood!"

After Fu Zhongyun left, Wang Tanzhi said to the others: "Let's take advantage of the fact that the Jinwuwei patrol has not started at this time, and immediately divide into two teams, one team will follow Gongyehong, and the other team will follow me, and the first team will obey Gongyehong's command and set off!" ”

The two teams quickly left the house in the dark.

It didn't take long for Fu Zhongyun to come to the outside of Cui Ren's house, he looked left and right, and when he saw that there was no one around, he reached out and knocked on the door.

"Knock ······"

The courtyard door was quickly opened, and Cui Ren appeared in the courtyard with a pale face, he saw that it was not Wang Tanzhi outside the door, and at the same time, there was a trace of joy in his eyes, but he was worried in his heart.

"Come in!"

When Fu Zhongyun entered the courtyard, Cui Ren closed the door and led Fu Zhongyun towards the house.

"Cui Ren, don't bother, Si Zheng asked me to come, you just tell me the news!" Fu Zhongyun hurried to meet Wang Tanzhi, and asked after walking to the middle of the courtyard.

Cui Ren took two steps forward and stopped, and just turned around, more than a dozen members of the armed forces waiting for the lawsuit came out of the darkness around the courtyard, some of these people were armed with knives, some were armed with crossbows, and all directions were blocked by them.

"You······ Cui Ren, do you dare to betray Si Zheng? Fu Zhongyun was shocked and angry, and pulled out the short knife with a snort.

The action leader of the waiting lawsuit shouted: "Fu Zhongyun, put down your blade and surrender!" ”

"Hahaha······ I, Fu, have also seen the family law of waiting for the lawsuit, do you think I will be so stupid? Fu Zhongyun laughed and immediately slashed at Cui Ren.

"Whoosh" Two crossbow arrows shot over, stopping Fu Zhongyun's movements.

"Give it to me, catch it alive!"

The other operatives quickly surrounded him, and Fu Zhongyun lost the opportunity to kill Cui Ren.

only heard the sound of "dangdangdang" weapons resonating, and after a cup of tea, Fu Zhongyun was injured and captured.

"Take it away!"

In less than a moment, Fu Zhongyun was taken to a secret interrogation room waiting for the lawsuit, and the cruel and inhumane torture methods were carried out, Fu Zhongyun just wanted to die early and be relieved, but this matter was not as he wished.

After being tortured by both sides in a row, Fu Zhongyun's psychological defense line collapsed and he was abandoned on the spot.

The official in charge of the interrogation immediately reported to Jia Yue: "Yu Sizheng, the trial has come out, this morning Wang Tanzhi got in touch with the inner line installed in the Jingwang Mansion, and learned that his family members were locked up in the other courtyard by the people of the Jingwang Mansion, and at this time Wang Tanzhi has taken people to the Jingwang Mansion to save people!" ”

After hearing this, Jia Yue's spirits were lifted, and he got up and ordered: "Assemble the 123rd Action Team, let them get ready, and set off for King Jing's Courtyard in a moment!" ”

"No!"

It has been half an hour since Wang Tanzhi led people to hide outside King Jing's courtyard, but he still didn't see Fu Zhongyun coming to round, he avoided being a little impatient in his heart, and complained in his heart that Fu Zhongyun was incompetent.

At this time, a subordinate who was in charge of the periphery sentry came quickly to report: "Si Zheng, the situation is a little bad, a team of criminal departments is about 20 people who are coming to King Jing's courtyard!" ”

"What?" Wang Tanzhi was taken aback, but he quickly calmed down, looked at the others, and saw that his subordinates were all looking at him, he said: "Don't panic, our whereabouts have been very careful and hidden, if the people in the Criminal Department knew our news, they would have rounded us up long ago, and it is impossible to wait until now!" ”

One of his subordinates said, "Si Zheng, could it be that Fu Zhongyun betrayed the brothers?" ”

Wang Tanzhi was also a little worried in his heart, but he immediately vetoed: "It shouldn't be Fu Zhongyun, even if he wants to betray us, we should find Jia Yue, and he won't betray us to the people in the Criminal Department."

All his subordinates nodded, which made sense!

But someone still said: "Si Zheng, it's been half an hour, but Fu Zhongyun hasn't come to the meeting yet!" ”

"Don't be suspicious of your brother, now that Jin Wuwei's patrol curfew has begun, it's normal for him to be late!"

Since the Great Qian Dynasty moved the capital from Qianjing to Chang'an, there is only a curfew in the first month of the year every year, but it is only for ten days, which is also to ensure that the people can spend the New Year with peace of mind during the Shangyuan Festival, and the curfew will definitely be lifted before the Shangyuan Festival.

"We are hiding very hidden now, if we don't deliberately search and can't find us, let's wait and see first, so as to respond to all changes, maybe the people from the Criminal Department are not coming for us, but for the other courtyard of Jingwang Mansion!"

It didn't take long for more than 20 arresters from the Criminal Department to quickly come to King Jing's courtyard, and soon arrived outside the palace courtyard.

Wang Tanzhi said to his subordinates in a low voice: "Previously, there were people from the Criminal Department near my house, and the people of Jingwang Mansion wanted to rob my family and could only solve the surveillance personnel of the Criminal Department first, but I guess they must have unclean hands and feet, and they were tracked by the people of the Criminal Department, so they followed the traces to find here!" ”

One of his subordinates said: "It seems that not all the people in this criminal department eat dry food, they still have some skills!" ”

Wang Tanzhi shook his head and said: "After all, the Criminal Department is one of the six departments, and there are many talents in it, which should not be underestimated!" ”
