Chapter 13 Critical

"Dad, where are we going?" Suddenly taken out of the house by his father, five-year-old Hai Wuxian asked puzzled.

"Wuxian, let's go to the capital." Father Hai replied.

"Why are you going to the capital all of a sudden, isn't it good to stay at home?"

"Wuxian, you will understand later, after you arrive in the capital, everything will be captured by the iron god, remember?" Father Hai said solemnly to Hai Wuxian.

"Got it, Dad, you've said it many times." Hai Wuxian replied impatiently....

At that time, Hai Wuxian was still young, and he didn't know what his father meant. But before the accident, Tie Zhengsha told him in prison that the reason why his father named him "Wuxian" was "nothing to envy", and it also meant "framed". He also told him that after Father Hai sent him to the capital, he was sentenced to death for rebellion.

At that time, Hai Wuxian was only five years old, and he couldn't remember much about his family, only remembering that his father was stationed outside the gate, and he seemed to be a general. Later, Hai Wuxian grew up slowly, and he also inquired about the garrison general Hai Fufeng who was treason because of collaborating with the enemy, causing Wei to suffer heavy casualties in the war with Jin. Just six years ago, the Jin State sent an envoy to Chang'an for peace talks. Hai Wuxian planned to find out the news, but when he arrived at the place where the envoys of the Jin State were staying, he found that the envoys had been killed, and he was also detained by the arresters who arrived later.

After Hai Wuxian was arrested, he was immediately imprisoned in the prison of the Criminal Department. Later, for some reason, Tie Zhengsha transferred Hai Wuxian to the dungeon of Dali Temple, and then it became what people call a blood prison. During this period, Tie Zhengsha visited Hai Wuxian many times, and kept telling him that if he came out after the new emperor ascended the throne, someone would come to him.

"Since ancient times, there have been almost no fewer generals who have died at the hands of their own kings than generals who have died on the battlefield. Any king understands that the army is a sharp weapon, a double-edged sword, which you can use to kill the enemy and defend yourself, but if you don't get it right, you will also hurt yourself. The battle achievements are too great, and it is difficult to reward them; The military power is too great to control. ”

Therefore, in order to conquer the enemy, we must always be on guard against the king's suspicions.

Hai Wuxian's father was an upright man and never took bribes. Stationed outside the customs all the year round, there is no military merit to make. was suddenly convicted of rebellion, which made Tie Zhengsha smell a hint of conspiracy at that time. Therefore, Tie Zhengsha, who was entrusted by his friend, immediately investigated the case of Hai Fufeng.

Hai Wuxian didn't know what his master had found, he only knew that it was the same person who framed the Hai family and killed Tie Zhengsha.

.....

"Details determine success or failure, do not stay vigilant everywhere in life, handle every little thing carefully, sooner or later because of those small details that are not handled well, they will degrade their original good reputation that they have accumulated with great difficulty, and destroy their good conduct. The embankment of a thousand miles collapsed in the anthill, so you have to be careful. ”

"A gentleman is born in the world, and he can do what he can, not what he can't do." This sentence was once taught to Yan Chong by Tie Zhengsha.

Ever since Tie Zhengsha died in that fire three years ago, Yan Chong has been investigating. Before the "Golden Envoy's Corpse Splitting Case", the cell boss surnamed Wang brought him a long-lost codeword, and then left a code message for He Yuan, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, according to the instructions of the code. When he saw He Yuan, He Yuan just told him that time was running out, pretending to be his murderer, and bringing Ji Kuo to the blood prison, he would tell you what to do later, and then he hurriedly hanged himself.

When Yan Chong received that he was going to appoint Hai Wuxian as the head of the Zhenfu Division, he knew that Hai Wuxian was definitely not as he said, and he had made a deal with his master to get the use of the codeword. He had suspected before that it was impossible for the master to give his secret words to the prisoners, and he felt strange when he was in the blood prison, but now he understood that Hai Wuxian was the master's person, and it was the "he" in He Yuan's mouth.

Yan Chong now just wanted to take the order issued by the imperial court and hurry to Bianliang to ask Hai Wuxian about everything. What happened to the master back then? Why did He Yuan hang himself? What did Hai Wuxian do back then? Why jailbreak again? One question after another made Yan Chong's head want to blow up, but he still couldn't get a trace of an answer.

After escorting Jin Jiu to the Zhenfu Division, he was escorted by some strange guards to a place called "Dangerous Building", which he had never heard of. Is it a prison for prisoners? But now he wasn't in the mood to think about it! The sky will soon dawn, and when he leaves, he will be one step closer to the death of his master. In order to see Hai Wuxian as soon as possible, he didn't sleep all night, the night in Chang'an was so long....

"Go, go, go! The beggars from there begged for food. ”

"Fuck off! Stinky beggars, get out of the way! ”

"It's unlucky! Get out of here. ”

A ragged beggar staggered down the street and was bombarded, with his head bowed and unkempt to tell the age of the beggar.

"What's your name, little one?" A middle-aged man dressed in a trapper asked.

"Yan Chong." The beggar was weak. The face is yellow and thin, as if he has been hungry for a long time.

"My name is Tie Zhengsha, are you alone? Still have family? ”

Yan Chong shook his head, he didn't even know how he got here, he hadn't eaten for a long time, he just followed the group of beggars outside the city into the city.

"Come with me...."

The morning was cold, with a hint of loneliness, Yan Chong rode his horse on the way to Bianliang.

Yan Chong recalled the first time he met his master, and he could still hear the phrase "come with me". Tie Zhengsha has been teaching him the ability to solve cases since he brought him to his side, from a street beggar who didn't know when he would starve to death, to a catcher in the Zhenfu Division. And his master died in a bizarre fire three years ago, and his father in his heart is gone, and his god... collapsed.

.....

fell short, and he would have been able to catch Lu Beiyou right away. The portrait of Lu Beiyou has been painted, and Tie Lihua has been shuttling in Bianliang for the past few days, hoping to find the trace of Lu Beiyou. Hai Wuxian is not so idle! At that time, Tie Zhengsha only let him escape from the blood prison alone, although he only told him part of the plan, but he believed that he would find some clues when he came out. Now let the entire prisoners of the Blood Prison escape, I don't know if it will disrupt my master's arrangement. So in the past few days, Hai Wuxian has been inquiring about other escaped prisoners.

The hard work paid off, that Taoist priest surnamed Mo was actually the leader of the White Lotus Sect, this news made Hai Wuxian a little surprised! At the beginning of the blood prison, Mo Laodao was in prison in a Taoist uniform, which was already curious, and after being imprisoned for many years, Mo Laodao gave Hai Wuxian the feeling of being a fairy wind and a bone, a feeling of being a master in the world. I didn't expect the origin to be so ferocious.

The White Lotus Sect has existed since the founding of the Great Wei Dynasty, and the believers in the sect are all over the Great Wei, and even the barbarians outside the fortress have a certain amount of power, and the imperial court has sent troops to encircle and suppress it several times, but even the helm of the White Lotus Sect has not been found. Every time the imperial court went to encircle and suppress, the forces of the White Lotus Sect immediately disappeared. It can be seen that the transmission of information from the White Lotus Sect is even faster than that of the imperial court's ceremonial supervisor.

After all, it is the minority who rebel, and the majority is coerced or hesitant. Once they are asked to make a choice whether to take the initiative to rebel or not, they will waver, unable to pay attention, and will stand still and only move a few masterminds.

The White Lotus Sect is too mysterious, and it is a little troublesome to arrest Mo Laodao now. When he was in Jiangnan before, Hai Wuxian guessed that Tie Zhengsha's ultimate purpose was not only to rehabilitate the Hai family, but also to eliminate traitors for the little emperor, Jin Jiu had been escorted to the capital, and now Jiangnan was controlled by the little emperor, and the Zhenfu Division also took down the military headquarters for the little emperor. I believe that it won't be long before the little emperor can return to power, and at that time, he should also be able to find out the truth about the Hai family, as well as the killing of Tie Zhengsha three years ago.

Just when Hai Wuxian was thinking alone in the guest room, he suddenly snorted, and a stone flew in from the window, covered with paper, "Tonight, the small bamboo forest north of the city." Hai Wuxian opened the window and saw the crowd of people coming and going downstairs, but he couldn't find any suspicious people.

"Is it the master who arranged to find himself? Or are they people with other purpose? Hai Wuxian decided to check it out.

The bamboo forest in the north outside Bianliang City was a little strange at the moment, and Hai Wuxian was waiting here before he arrived. At this time, the situation was unclear, and Hai Wuxian could only come here to reconnoiter first, so as to take the lead.

Suddenly, a figure swept like lightning, and before Hai Wuxian could see the person clearly, that person had already made a move, the angle of the move was tricky and strange, and the ruthlessness of the shot was even more unimaginable. Hai Wuxian had never worn a blade, and he couldn't dodge the sword light of the attacker, and the sword wind scattered his hair in a bun, and his black hair spread out like mist. The man continued to swing his sword, Hai Wuxian was not in a hurry, got up to dodge the sharp sword, turned around and raised his sleeve robe, and clenched his left hand into a fist and struck out with a forceful blow. The man couldn't dodge and was hit hard by the punch in the shoulder, and took three steps back. Hai Wuxian also took the opportunity to distance himself from the masked man.

Without saying a word, he attacked directly, and Hai Wuxian stared at the person who came cautiously. The bamboo forest is dark and the moonlight is hazy. The attacker's black scarf covered his face, and Hai Wuxian couldn't see the other party's face clearly.

The man rubbed his shoulders and threw the long sword in his hand with a clatter, and the sword sank into the ground with a clatter. Then he pulled off the black scarf, knelt on one knee and hugged his fists and said, "The old slave Meng Lindong pays a visit to the young master." ”

The old man had high cheekbones, gray temples, a dull face, and wrinkles on his face. Hai Wuxian had never seen this person before, so he asked, "Young master? ”

"The old slave belongs to the border army stationed outside the pass, and has been hidden outside the pass for many years by the military order of General Hai Fufeng, and three years ago he received a letter from the god to capture the iron and conquer the sand, asking the old slave to go to the capital and always respond to the escape of the young master. Unexpectedly, that night, the murderer of the blood prison blasted out, and the old slave lost the trace of the young master, and it was not until a few days ago that he heard that the young master was in Bianliang. ”

"Then why sneak attack here?"

"Back to the young master, the plan of the iron god to capture is too dangerous, and the old slave doesn't want to involve the young master, so he really has to use this to test the young master."

"As a last resort?"

"Back to the young master, the murderers in the blood prison are the key to the Iron God arrest plan, and it was originally planned that after the young master escaped from prison, he would use the fugitives to deal with the traitors in the DPRK and China, and rehabilitate the general Hai who was framed back then. Now the murderers of the Blood Prison have fled to various places, far beyond the plan of the Iron Catcher. If we don't get the evidence in the fugitives' possession, we can't bring them down and rehabilitate the general..."

"Dong Bo, you get up first, so those fugitives are the key to the plan?"

"Yes, young master, only by using those fugitives can we bring down the people who framed General Hai back then."
