Chapter 539: Inducement

Youma was arrested and imprisoned in a prison in the county, which Zhao Hongrun really didn't know. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

When asked Zongwei Zhou Pu, Zhao Hongrun learned that Youma was thrown into prison by the thousands of people of the Shangshui Army, because Ran Teng and the Shangshui soldiers led by him found a secret tunnel in the kitchen of the Youma Pavilion.

In the secret room, the merchant army found at least 100 hidden blades, as well as a dozen wandering horses who had tried to arrest them.

Fortunately, You Ma knew the current affairs at the time, and ordered the You Ma people in the secret room to surrender to the Shang Shui Army, otherwise, I am afraid that these people would have been killed on the spot by Ran Teng, a thousand people.

After all, Zhao Hongrun still has some impressions of Ran Teng, remembering that the former is a very strong thousand-man team in the Shangshui Army, and Ran Teng is a thousand-person general named Xiang Li, and is said to be the two fiercest generals among the thousand-man generals under Wu Ji, whether it is his own force or the thousand-man team he leads, they are very strong.

Under the guidance of Zongwei Zhou Pu, Zhao Hongrun and his Zongwei chief Shen Yu came to the county prison in Yangxia County.

During this period, Zhao Hongrun asked Zhou Pu about the situation of the county prison, after all, this county prison is currently guarded by Zhou Pu, the sect guard.

Zhou Pu, as his name suggests, is a simple-looking Zongwei, usually in the Zongwei is not inconspicuous, taciturn, and does not like to speak, but only familiar people know that this seemingly ordinary Zongwei can actually rank in the top five among the Zongwei around Zhao Hongrun, not only can he rank in the top five in force, but he is also a Zongwei with both civil and military and a stable personality.

It's just that sometimes it's too steady, so there's no passion.

Zhou Pu told Zhao Hongrun that the county prison at this moment was already overcrowded, and on the 17th, the Shang Shui Army captured a large number of hidden thieves and rangers, all of whom were those who carried blades at first, but dropped their weapons and surrendered with their heads when they were attacked by the Shang Shui Army.

At that time, those Shangshui soldiers felt quite a headache, because Zhao Hongrun just ordered them to kill those hidden thieves and rangers who still carried their blades, but he didn't say what would happen if these people discarded their blades on the spot and chose to surrender.

It is not appropriate to kill, but it is obviously even more inappropriate to let these people go, so after thinking for a while, the soldiers of Shangshui simply arrested all these people and threw them into the county jail, so that the county jail is overcrowded at the moment.

The county jail in Yangxia County, as the name suggests, is just a county-level prison, with only a dozen or so cells in it.

Originally, there were at most about four or five people in each cell, but now I heard Zhou Pu say that because there were so many people thrown into the cell, there were actually more than ten or twenty people crammed into each cell, which was very crowded.

In this case, there are still hundreds of captured thieves and rangers who do not know where to be held, so they can only be temporarily tied up with ropes and thrown in the aisles, or left in Wumaggio's station.

And when Zhao Hongrun came to the prison, he finally understood what Zhou Pu said about overcrowding.

I saw that in his eyes, the cells on both sides of the aisle were really crowded with prisoners, and there was almost no gap.

And as he passed, the thieves and rangers who had been locked up in the prison stood up one after another, and stood behind the thick wooden bars, glaring at him with indignant expressions.

"This is that Zhao Run?"

"That Su Wang Zhao Run?"

"This damn bastard......"

"Actually made the merchant army attack ......"

During the period when Zhao Hongrun passed, the hidden thieves and rangers in the cells all gritted their teeth.

But when Zhao Hongrun was displeased because of these discussions, he stopped and scanned the cells where the discussions came, and the hidden thieves and rangers who were still talking in private actually looked away.

These people were afraid, and they were frightened by Zhao Hongrun's drastic methods.

"Humph!"

With a light snort, Zhao Hongrun walked forward by himself, and finally came to the cell where Youma and his subordinates were imprisoned.

At this time, the horse who wanted to come to Youma had already guessed the arrival of Zhao Hongrun from the commotion in the prison of Fang Cai, and he was already standing behind the prison fence at this moment, waiting for Zhao Hongrun.

Zhao Hongrun stood outside the prison door, looked You Ma up and down a few times, and suddenly asked, "You Ma, I heard that you want to see this king?" ”

Stopping the rude behavior of the rest of the Youma in the prison with an indignant look at Zhao Hongrun, Youma hugged his fists and said sincerely: "Yes, I hope to persuade King Su so that Yangxia can avoid a bloody disaster." ”

"Yang Xia? It's a hidden thief, right? Zhao Hongrun smiled faintly and said: "Youma, this king sympathizes with the plight of your Youma, but there are some things, this king thinks it is better to make it clear." …… Since when did you hidden thieves think you can represent the entire Yangxia County? ”

You Ma was stunned when he heard this.

Indeed, once upon a time, the Yangxia hidden thief controlled the entire Yangxia County, but in the final analysis, the Yangxia hidden thief really could not represent the entire Yangxia County.

Don't look at the Youma people assisting the Yiqiu people to maintain the situation of peace and security in Yangxia County, but in the final analysis, they are also regarded by the imperial court as the existence of thieves, but because the imperial court has repeatedly failed to suppress them, so there is no army sent to encircle and suppress them for the time being, which does not mean that the imperial court has allowed them to control Yangxia County by hidden thieves.

After being silent for a while, You Ma looked up at Zhao Hongrun, and said in a low tone: "King Su, do you want to eradicate us no matter what?" ”

This question...... It's not easy to answer.

Zhao Hongrun was silent.

However, You Ma was mistaken, and after laughing twice, he laughed at himself and said, "Presumably King Su thinks so, right? It's ridiculous that we thought that King Su had the intention of sitting down with us and having a good chat, but I didn't expect it to be King Su's plan to delay the army...... After a few days, the merchant army that had won a great victory in Sanchuan all arrived in Yangxia, and King Su should order an attack, right? ”

Not?

Zhao Hongrun faintly heard something, and asked pretending not to know, "What?" Attack what? ”

Hearing this, You Ma's eyes showed a little strange color, and he said in a low voice: "Attack the ......camp of hidden thieves outside the county, such as Yiqiuzhong, Black Spider, Mourning Crow, etc."

This guy ...... He's testing me?

A thought flashed in Zhao Hongrun's heart, and he deliberately pretended not to know and said, "What are you talking about?" Hasn't the hidden thief been eradicated by this king? ”

"King Su." You Ma frowned, and said with some displeasure: "It seems that this kind of shoddy pretending to be garlic will only insult your intelligence King Su." …… Obviously, the previous time, the merchant army sent by King Su to collect the blades in our Shishu Pavilion did not know that there were tunnels under the ground of many Shishu in the city that could lead to the outside of the city, but yesterday, those merchant and water troops who killed me in the Youma Pavilion broke the fact that there were tunnels in our Youma Pavilion. …… It's not speculation, as if you knew everything in advance. ”

After that, he looked up at Zhao Hongrun, and after hesitating for a while, he finally gritted his teeth and said: "Congratulations to King Su, you have received the assistance of a group of hidden thieves so quickly, can you ask King Su to make it clear, who is that inner ghost?" ”

This guy is very sharp, huh......

Zhao Hongrun was a little surprised, and after glancing at Youma, he deliberately said, "What are you talking about?" When did the king receive the help of the thieves? ”

"How does King Su explain the matter of the tunnel?"

"This ......" Zhao Hongrun showed an embarrassed expression at the right time, and said as if covering his ears and stealing the bell: "What is your identity, and what qualifications do you have to let this king explain?" ”

As soon as the words fell, I heard You Ma say in a deep voice: "Fuqiu people! …… It's Fuqiu, right? ”

"You ......" Zhao Hongrun seemed to be annoyed and angry, and after glaring at You Ma angrily, he suddenly lowered his voice and said coldly: "Even so, what can you do?" You can't even get out of this cell. …… Stay here honestly, and after this king clears out the hidden thieves in the Yangxia area, he will open up to you. ”

After that, Zhao Hongrun dropped a sentence and left on his own.

Looking at Zhao Hongrun's back when he left, a trace of anger flashed in You Ma's eyes: is it really Fuqiu? !

"Golden Hook ......"

I saw Youma grabbing the prison door, carefully recalling the behavior of Jin Gou, the leader of the Fuqiu people, in that meeting.

You Ma clearly remembered that at that time, he opened his mouth about Jin Gou's opinion on this incident, but that Jin Gou only laughed a few times and did not say any useful suggestions.

At that time, Yuma felt very strange, because he felt that Jin Gou did not seem to be in a hurry.

And now, he understands that Jin Gou has already decided to take refuge in Fang Cai's King Su, so what's there to worry about?

"Damn!"

You Ma clenched his fists hatefully, you must know that what he hates the most is betrayal and betrayal, because this will remind him of the past when Dangjun Youma was betrayed by the imperial court.

You're so ruthless, Brother Jin Goo......

A few traces of hatred flashed in Yuma's eyes.

Because he had already guessed that if Jin Gou really took refuge in Zhao Run, the king of Su, then this person was definitely not just to avoid trouble, otherwise, why didn't he bring up this matter in that meeting?

Obviously, Jin Gou intends to let the hidden thieves such as the Yiqiu people, the Youma people, the black spiders, and the mourning crows all be wiped out in this incident, so that he Fuqiu people can be called the only hidden thieves in Yangxia County.

And when You Ma secretly guessed the purpose of Jin Gou, Zhao Hongrun had already walked out of prison under the send-off of Zongwei Zhou Pu.

It's really unexpected, I didn't expect the horse to think of the golden hook so quickly, but it saved me a lot of effort to guide...... Does this mean that the gold hook has a bad reputation on weekdays?

Shaking his head secretly, Zhao Hongrun turned back to Zong Wei Zhou Pu and said, "Zhou Pu, the man named You Ma just now, if he tries to escape from prison, you ...... Help him secretly. ”

Zhou Pu was not surprised when he heard this, he hugged his fists and said, "Your Highness, rest assured, the humble post will give him a chance." ”

As Zhao Hongrun estimated, Zong Wei Zhou Pu didn't ask questions such as why he secretly helped him escape from prison, as if he had already guessed it.

Hmm, a boring one.

However, in view of Zongwei Zhou Pu's conservative character, since he has said so, then You Ma is bound to escape from prison, as long as the latter has this heart.

Don't let me down, Yuma......

After a deep look at the prison, Zhao Hongrun stepped out of the county prison. (To be continued.) )
