Chapter 559: Continue to arrest, high-pressure situation
Wang Mang used the Fengtian Sword to sense the bloodline of the Ji family in Su Rong's body, and after arresting her, the news was quickly transmitted.
Many members of the Ji family who were hiding in Dingxi Pass were very worried and wanted to free Su Rong from prison. There are even some people who want to kill Su Rong directly, lest Su Rong divulge the secret.
They have their own ideas, and they are very complex.
However, Su Rong didn't care about these thoughts at all, and never considered whether they came to save herself.
When she and Wang Mang agreed on the bet, she was rarely relaxed. In my heart, I vaguely felt that I was caught by Wang Mang, which was actually a good thing, at least I could take this opportunity to test the character of the Lord of the Wind Sword.
Although Wang Mang arrested the woman, he did not put her in prison, but stayed by his side. Changing her face and temporarily acting as a handmaiden gave her considerable freedom.
As long as she doesn't go out of the City Lord's Mansion, other places can move freely without restrictions.
Of course, the reason why Wang Mang treated her so leniently was purely to give Ji Rou a face. If Su Rong and Ji Rou didn't have any friendship, Wang Mang would have put her in prison a long time ago and waited for the result.
On the second day of Su Rong's arrest, several people gathered in a remote place south of Dingxi Pass. These people are all the principals of the Ji family who are plotting in Dingxi Pass, and their status in the Ji family is not much lower than that of Su Rong, and they all have some power in their hands.
It can be said that the principals of the Ji family in Gansu basically have some identities and are not ordinary clansmen. This is because Wang Mang has been listed as a key target by the senior management of the Ji family, and he needs to be treated with caution.
At this moment, they all gathered together to discuss Su Rong's affairs.
At this time, one of them said: "Su Rong knows a lot about us, if she recruits all of us, I'm afraid we will all die." What do you think about this? ”
Another innkeeper dressed as a Ji family member replied: "Su Rong has a calm and resolute personality, she will not confess to us so easily." Also, I had already asked people to use our Ji family's secret contact method to pass on the situation here. I think it will be about three or four days before the Lord of the Wind Sword will receive a reply. When the time comes, we'll be able to act on the reply. ”
"You can't say that." Another person shook his head and said: "Wang Mang is scheming and very cunning, who is sure that he can keep a secret in his hands?" Therefore, my opinion is that before the Lord of the Wind Sword comes, we should prepare for the worst and be prepared to evacuate at any time. Lest things change dramatically and we remain in the dark. ”
"That makes sense." Many other high-ranking members of the Ji family agreed with this statement and nodded one after another: "I don't know how Wang Mang found out about Su Rong this time." I see that Su Rong usually does very well, and there is no leakage of news at all, how did Wang Mang find her? ”
"Maybe he has a traitor to our Ji family in his hands. But this is also very strange, except for the person he arrested yesterday, there is no problem with the rest of Dingxiguan. This shows that the traitor in Wang Mang's hands is definitely not from Dingxiguan.
However, if it wasn't for the people of Dingxiguan, then how could this person know about Su Rong? Could it be that the person in Wang Mang's hands is the real descendant of our Ji family? Only this possibility will Su Rong be arrested. I don't know what our Ji family headquarters will say about this. ”
"Who knows, anyway, I don't think this matter has anything to do with our Ji family. Otherwise, how could Wang Mang delay more than 20 days before he started? I feel that he discovered Su Rong with his own ability, rather than a traitor. Ladies and gentlemen, the wind is very tight right now, so let's not say more, and hurry back and prepare to retreat, lest it be too late. ”
"It's natural, we have to be ready to evacuate, just in case. Ji Yun has suffered many losses at the hands of Wang Mang, and Feng Yi and others are even more so, we must not be careless. ”
After the group had discussed their current plan of action, they dispersed and hurried towards their original location.
Of course, this group of people is discussing here, and the other Ji family members in Yichun Courtyard are also discussing, and they are very anxious. Especially the chess pieces arranged by the Lord of the Wind Sword before, this part of the people is not under the control of the Ji family, but belongs to the Lord of the Wind Sword.
At the moment, these people are very embarrassed and don't know what to do.
They all knew Su Rong's identity and wanted to break into the City Lord's Mansion, but they were not sure. If they don't break in, they won't be reconciled. After all, Su Rong is the woman of the Lord of the Wind Sword, and her status is really not ordinary.
On the third day, these people from the Ji family still couldn't make a decision, and they didn't dare to act rashly. Of course, some of the other disciples of the Ji family who were not of high status in Yichun Courtyard took the initiative to surrender and confess their identities.
For these Ji family members who surrendered, Wang Mang did not interrogate them, and was directly imprisoned.
On the morning of this day, he said to Wang Jingyan: "Jingyan, you sit here, Ning Xuan and I will go out for a walk, and by the way, take advantage of this high-pressure situation to arrest a few more people from the Ji family." The first two days we arrested were all women, and those who surrendered were also women, so we can't be rude to these women.
Now I want to avenge both public and private revenge, specifically arrest men, whip them to death one by one, and avenge the Shangguan family. At the same time, I also speculated a little bit about your father, and there is the shadow of the Ji family cooperating with the barbarian king.
After I caught those Ji family rats, I could be regarded as collecting a little interest for my father-in-law. You prepare first, and then you can kill one or two people from the Ji family with your own hands to vent your anger. ”
"Well, be careful, don't be impulsive." Wang Jingyan instructed: "My father has been fighting on the battlefield for most of his life and is full of experience, but he had an accident in your Liaoning, which must have something to do with the Ji family." I can see this now, revenge can't be rushed, but must be plotted slowly. ”
"I know this, I have Ning Xuan with me on the surface, and a large number of guards secretly with me, so I guess nothing will go wrong." Wang Mang explained a few words, and said to Su Rong, who had changed his face next to him: "Mrs. Su, you have been in this city lord's mansion for two or three days, and it is estimated that you are also bored." Now let's go out for a walk together, and I'll show you how I caught your Ji family's horses. ”
"Okay, I really want to go out and walk around, and I stay here all the time, and my heart is so panicked and very uncomfortable." Su Rong replied with a smile.
Wang Mang held Shangguan Ning Xuan in one hand and the hilt of the Fengtian Sword in the other, strode out of the door, and headed towards the east of the City Lord's Mansion, Su Rong followed closely behind, wanting to see how Wang Mang caught people.
She was very suspicious in her heart, and she still hadn't figured out how Wang Mang recognized her identity. Now she wants to take this opportunity to take a good look.
