The interrogation of those rangers did not give Zhao Hongrun any important news.

To sum it up, it is a sentence: in Yangxia, there are a number of buildings called "Shiguan", which are almost all opened by local hidden thieves in Yangxia, the purpose is to recruit some wandering outlaws from all directions, and drive them to do evil with wealth.

For example, this time, the reason why these rangers gathered to attack Zhao Hongrun was because in the "Shiguan" in Yangxia, the head of King Su Hongrun was rewarded with a high price of 50,000 gold, attracting a large number of outlaws who were hungry for profit.

And in this regard, Zhao Hongrun wanted to laugh very much, but he couldn't laugh.

You must know that in the past, only the Imperial Court Criminal Department would issue a reward for criminals who were on the run, and wanted those gangsters who had committed serious crimes.

I have never heard that the children of the dignified royal clan are actually rewarded by a certain force among the people, which is simply lawless and intolerable by the laws of the country!

"This Yang Xia...... It's going to be the other way around!'

Zhao Hongrun's eyes narrowed slightly, and a few sharp flashes flashed in his eyes.

At this time, Wei Jiao came to Zhao Hongrun's side and asked in a low voice: "Your Highness, how to deal with these people?" ”

Hearing this, the eleven rangers looked frightened and begged for mercy, after all, they had two lessons from the past, so that they could fully understand that the other party was not a good person.

"Shut up!" Zhao Hongrun snorted coldly, stopped the noise of these people, and after a little thought, said coldly: "For the reward of 50,000 gold, you really have the ability to attack this king's team!" …… A bunch of idiots! Haven't you ever thought that even if you can get that money, you won't necessarily have the life to spend it?! ”

The rangers bowed their heads in resignation, not daring to speak.

And at this moment, Zhao Hongrun eased his tone and said in a deep voice: "This king has given you an errand. …… Don't think about 50,000 gold, 500 taels of silver. This king wants you to go to Yanling and Shangshui immediately, no matter where you are, find the local merchant and water army, inform them of this, and call the Shang water army to come to help, and afterwards, this king will give you 500 taels of silver each, which is enough for you to eat and drink for a while, how about it? ”

The rangers glanced at each other, and they all had a kind of joy for the rest of their lives.

You must know that attacking a member of the royal family like Zhao Hongrun is definitely a proper execution, but Zhao Hongrun is willing to pardon their crimes, and even give them five hundred taels of silver each, let them go to Yanling or Shangshui, and send a message to the Shangshui army.

Although 500 taels of silver is insignificant compared to the 50,000 gold bounty, it is better to save a small life.

Besides, it doesn't take much effort to go to Yanling or Shangshui to send a message.

Thinking of this, the rangers nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun waved his hand and instructed Zongwei Lu Mu and others: "Untie them and take them out of the post station." ”

"Yes!" Lu Mu nodded, and scolded the rangers: "Get up, go!" ”

The rangers who survived the catastrophe happily bowed to Zhao Hongrun, and then walked out of the house under the leadership of several sect guards.

And seeing these people walking out of the house, Wei Jiao couldn't help but say: "Your Highness, these people gathered a crowd to assassinate you, this is a mortal crime, why do you want to reward them with silver ...... Your Highness?"

Hearing this, Zhao Hongrun sighed slightly, and said lightly: "This king would rather send out a few thousand taels of silver, but the problem is that this king is worried that these people may not be able to go to Yanling or Shangshui alive, and send a message to the Shangshui army for us......"

Wei Jiao was stunned, and immediately understood: If there is really a force secretly monitoring them along the way, trying to kill them here, then those rangers who were bribed by Zhao Hongrun with silver may not be able to make it to Yanling or Shangshui alive.

It is very likely that he will be intercepted and killed by that force halfway.

And in this case, with only a few thousand taels of silver, how can it be more important to get in touch with the merchant water army and let them come to help immediately?

"It's worthy of Your Highness, you are still so calm at this time."

Wei Jiao was convinced, and said with a wry smile: "Hearing His Highness say this, it is better to lose thousands of silver than to be lowly......

"I hope these thousands of taels of silver can be rewarded......"

Zhao Hongrun also sighed and nodded, and then asked, "I heard that there are still a group of assassins, right?" ”

"Yes." Wei Jiao nodded and said, "It is said that when we were attracted by those rangers, we came in through the backyard over the wall, those people ...... But it's really an assassin, and at first glance, his appearance and momentum are completely different from those rangers. ”

"Hmm. How many have you caught? ”

Wei Jiao's face showed a little sneer, and he lowered his head and said, "Mi Rui used anesthetics to overturn six or seven people, and the rest ...... All of them are not afraid of death, and we and Lord Mi Jiang can only kill them. ”

"Miri? That girl can help? Zhao Hongrun looked surprised, after all, in his impression, Mi Rui was a stupid person who didn't use farts many times, and she couldn't compare with her sister Mi Jiang at all.

Speaking of which, sometimes Zhao Hongrun really wonders, obviously she is a sister, why is her sister so capable, but her sister can be so stupid?

"Bring those Assassins!"

"Yes!"

A moment later, the guards brought the seven black-clad assassins over, along with Mi Rui, who had rushed to invite merit, and Mi Jiang, who was helpless against his sister.

No, as soon as she saw Zhao Hongrun, Qi Rui asked for credit with a smile on her face: "Ji Run, I helped you catch these people, how can you thank me?" ”

Zhao Hongrun thought for a while and said, "Well, when you get to Yanling or Shangshui, I'll ask someone to buy you a box of local pastries and sweets every day." ”

"It's just a box? You're too stingy, too! Hearing this, Qi Rui pursed her lips with a look of indignation.

Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun thought for a while and said: "In this way, I will buy you thirty boxes of sweets at a time, and you can eat them deliciously for a month." ”

"Thirty boxes?" Mi Rui's face was full of joy when she heard this, and she nodded again and again and said, "Okay, don't cheat." ”

"This IQ ...... It's pathetic, girl.'

Looking at Mi Rui with a face full of joy, Zhao Hongrun secretly shook his head.

"Why are you here?" He turned his head to look at Mi Jiang.

After all, these two sisters came here, and Miss Su was there, and Zhao Hongrun was inevitably a little uneasy.

Probably guessing Zhao Hongrun's thoughts, Qi Jiang said expressionlessly: "Those women have been moved to the next room, protected by more than 30 soldiers, and there will be nothing wrong." ”

After saying that, she glanced at Mi Rui, who was still in a state of joy, and sighed silently like Zhao Hongrun.

At this time, Zhao Hongrun had already set his eyes on the seven black-clothed assassins in the room, and seeing that these people were motionless, he frowned and asked, "Mi Rui, these people ...... Still alive? ”

"They're just numbed by my powder, in fact, they can hear what you say, you see, are their eyes still moving?"

Zhao Hongrun squinted his eyes and looked carefully, and really found that the black-clothed assassins who looked like dead corpses were really rolling their eyes.

But the problem is, you can't communicate at all.

"Is there an antidote?" Zhao Hongrun asked Mi Rui: "At least let them speak." ”

"Oh." With a nod, she pulled out a potion jar from the cloth bag around her waist, unscrewed it and placed it under the nose of an assassin, letting it sniff for a while, then took a few steps back.

"That's it?"

Zhao Hongrun was a little surprised, because he found that the assassin was still lying on the ground, unmoved.

"Is that the antidote?" Zhao Hongrun frowned and asked.

"Huh? It's strange......" Mi Rui looked puzzled, and was about to step forward, but was pulled by Mi Jiang, who said expressionlessly: "This time my sister didn't take it wrong, it is indeed the antidote." …… In fact, the man was already able to move, and that was just what he pretended. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the assassin sprang up from the ground and pounced on Zong Wei Gaokuo.

Gao Kuo was shocked, and subconsciously pulled out the sharp blade in his hand, but was stunned to find that the assassin grabbed his hands, stretched out his neck, turned his head at the sharp blade, and actually cut his throat himself, and blood poured out.

"Poof—"

The corpse fell to the ground, blood splattered all over his body.

Gao Kuo was stunned, turned his head to look at Zhao Hongrun, and stammered: "Your Highness, I ......"

"It's none of your business." Zhao Hongrun waved his hand to interrupt Gao Kuo's explanation, frowned and said, "This person obviously intends to seek death. With that, he said to the guards, "Bring some ropes." ”

Hearing this, the guards took some ropes and tied the remaining six assassins tightly.

After that, Zhao Hongrun asked Mi Rui to use the antidote to relieve the paralysis of the assassins.

To everyone's astonishment, the first thing the six Assassins did after regaining consciousness was to bite off their tongues and spit them out.

"Kill yourself by biting your tongue?"

Seeing the six assassins who were biting off their tongues and actually laughing at themselves, full of ridicule, Zhao Hongrun and the sect guards were really stunned.

Indeed, biting off your tongue doesn't necessarily mean you die, but the problem is that if you bite off your tongue, you won't be able to speak out loud!

Obviously, the actions of these six assassins were to make Zhao Hongrun and the others understand that they would not reveal any information!

"This ...... Your Highness, what should I do? ”

Sect Guard Chief Shen Yu also asked a little dumbfounded.

Originally, he had planned to repeat his old trick and use the same methods used to deal with those rangers to force the real Assassins to speak. Unexpectedly, this group of assassins was even more ruthless than them, one of them found a way to die under Gao Kuo's sword after resuming operations, and the other six even bit off their tongues directly.

Is this still necessary to be interrogated?

"Take it out." Zhao Hongrun waved his hand.

The guards nodded, and took the six dying assassins, as well as the corpse of the assassin, out.

"Is this the style of a hidden thief in the summer of Yangxia?"

Zhao Hongrun frowned deeply.

He remembered very well that the six assassins who had bitten off their tongues were still sneering at the time.

This made Zhao Hongrun sincerely feel that the group of guys he was facing was probably a very tricky existence.

At this time, He Zhirong, the post chief who had been watching quietly, arched his hand and said: "Your Royal Highness King Su, the contemptible people think that those thieves may not stop there, it is better to let the contemptible people and the guards escort His Royal Highness and his party to Yu County." …… Although Yuxian is a small county, it is better than in this wilderness. ”

After Zhao Hongrun thought deeply, he nodded slowly.

But at this moment, the shouts of the soldiers came from outside the house.

"It's on fire, there's a fire in the inn......"

"! Is there any end to it?!'

Zhao Hongrun slapped the table with hatred.

He didn't have to guess, he knew who had set the fire. (To be continued.) )
