Volume 2 The Scroll of Riding the Wind Chapter 37 Using His Body as Bait Wang Xi Catches Ghosts
Dog San'er was tortured and killed, his hands were forcibly twisted into several shapes, Dali Temple's work did not find fatal injuries, looking at Gou San'er's expression, it seemed to be scared to death.
On the wall of the firewood room, it was written in blood: It is not a pity to die for the slave and bully the master.
Old man Zhang said a lot in Wang Xi's ear, probably meaning that he found a lot of silver coins in Gou San'er's room, as well as the precious beads given by Mrs. Cheng who Xiao'er lost not long ago, the bracelet that his stepmother couldn't find, and a gold needle that Old Man Zhang regarded as a treasureβ’β’β’β’β’
The house slaves of the Tang Dynasty are not paid, because they themselves are the property of the head of the family, they are bought to work for the head of the house, and the head of the house only needs to provide food that does not starve to death.
Most of the money for Gou San'er was withheld by Wang Xi during the banquet a few days ago.
It's just a house slave, if it weren't for the mysterious Guigu Sect Master involved at this time, he was really sensitive, Dali Temple would not have taken over at all, and even Xu Sidao and the others were angry that the other party could kill people in broad daylight and go freely.
Even Lan Gu and others, who were also domestic slaves, did not grieve for Gou San'er.
Wang Xi's heart is trembling, this is a human life! He just stole something, and he was beaten up and punished severely. Wang Xi could think of the most vicious punishment method, which was to break his hand.
However, Gou San'er was indeed tortured and killed!
Wang Xi said to Zhang Shi with red eyes: "Go to Wannian County to find the county lieutenant of Wannian and tell him that I want to see Ouyang Yin!" Remember, be sure to meet the county lieutenant himself! β
Ignoring Dai Guan's anxious eyes, Wang Xi ordered everyone in the house, including the generals sent by Lao Cheng, to be fully armed and have their bows and crossbows wound.
The efficiency of the foreign waiting officer was very fast, and as soon as it was dusk, Ouyang Yin hurried over.
Ouyang Yin was dressed in ordinary civilian clothes, and looked at Zhang Shou and the others who were fully armed with a slight smile.
Wang Xi set up a Taishi chair in the front yard, holding a well-wound crossbow by himself, sitting there with a bow, and Zhang Shou and others holding a crossbow with swords, standing left and right.
"Ouyang Yin, don't tell me you don't know about these things that have happened in my house recently! Now I only ask you, will you interfere in this matter?! Wang Xi stared at Ouyang Yindao.
Ouyang Yin said: "Jun Hou, can you take a step to speak?" β
Wang Xi snorted angrily, got up and led Ouyang Yin to the firewood room where Gou San'er died, Gou San'er's body had been taken away by Dali Temple, and only the blood words on the wall were still there.
Ouyang Yin didn't see it at all, and looked at Wang Xi with a solemn face: "How did Jun Hou know that the county lieutenant of Wannian was the person who was my foreign officer?" β
Wang Xi sneered: "That day, the county lieutenant of Wannian took away the bandit Hu Youliang in the south of the city in front of my house, and later Hu Youliang was nailed to death in front of my house, and he told me that after leaving in front of my house that day, Hu Youliang was taken away by your foreign officer halfway.
As far as a certain person knows, the internal and external officials, as the minions of the Son of Heaven, although they are already an open secret in the court, but the open secret is also a secret! The internal and external officials should have no clerical contact with the Sixth Ministry of the DPRK and the Central Committee, otherwise you would not have taken my friends and family members away in Jingyang County that day, in the name of the Criminal Department!
The county lieutenant of Wannian is just a mung bean petty official from the ninth grade, how can he know your foreign officer, even if you have any evidence, how can he dare to believe it? How dare you easily hand over the thief who the government has been chasing the way to you? Isn't he afraid of the Wannian County Order? You must know that cracking down on bandits, especially thieves like Hu Youliang, is a great achievement!
There is only one possibility, that is, this Wannian County Lieutenant is himself a person who is a foreign officer! It was Hu Youliang who came to take away Hu Youliang, a colleague he was familiar with, and it might even be the palm print of the foreign officer, Lord Ouyang Yin, who you personally took away Hu Youliang! β
"Bang Bang!" Ouyang Yin applauded with admiration: "Your Majesty often says that whether it is a certain or Gao Fucheng, they are more than loyal, but not talented, now it seems that this is the case, Jun Hou is more suitable for the position of the palm seal of this foreign official than so!"
Wang Xi quickly sank his face after a pause: "Tell me about the Ghost Valley Sect Master, don't say that your foreign officer doesn't know anything, if that's the case, you can die!" β
Ouyang Yin looked at Wang Xi with some hesitation: "Do you really have no relationship between the Guigu Sect and Bailuhou?" β
Wang Xi forcibly suppressed his anger and said: "Use your pig brain to think about it, what is the benefit of doing these things?" Why would you want to do this?! β
Ouyang Yin really thought about it seriously, and determined that since the appearance of the Ghost Valley Sect Master, Wang Xi has changed from the previous embarrassing situation to the target of everyone, and the two should not be the same force~
Wang Xi rolled his eyes angrily, he thought that the palm print of the foreign officer was a strategizing figure!
Ouyang Yin told Xin Wenli about it, only to hear Wang Xi's dumbfounded, Xin Wenli? Wu Jianzhang? Ding Yanping?
If Wang Xi remembers correctly, these should all be characters in the romance, and they do not exist in history, and now it seems that perhaps these names once existed in the historical years, but they could not be famous in the annals of history because they did not enter the temple, and then they were used by the people who created the romance to make up those passionate plots.
Wang Xi thought about it: "Since you know the origin of the other party, what does the foreign waiting officer plan to do?" β
Ouyang Yin hesitated a little, and finally said: "Xin Wenli made several moves, whether it was attacking the palace at night or torturing and killing Confucian students, and finally sent the corpse to the Jun Hou Mansion, and these people have all had a bad relationship with the Jun Hou without exception.
Therefore, the old ancestor plans to use Jun Hou you as bait to lure Xin Wenli to appear, and at that time, the internal and external officials will cooperate with Su Guogong's Zuo Wuwei to attack together to exterminate the Guigu Sect in one fell swoop! β
Wang Xi said angrily: "Who is the old ancestor? Where did you bait me? Did you ask me? β
Ouyang Yin said calmly: "The old ancestor is now the chief of my internal and external officials, taking the monarch as bait, it is not our decision, but the whole situation, Xin Wenli attacked the palace at night just to send a corpse to the monarch's mansion, and killed the Confucian students of the Guozijian who had offended the monarch, even if we knew the grievances of the monarch, but the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty did not know, and the Guozijian and the Chang'an County Decree would not easily let go of the monarch.
The foreign waiting official has been reported, tomorrow the great court will participate, several great Confucian associations of the country will jointly write a letter, and the Chang'an County Order will carry the coffin and cry the hall, at that time, even if there are several princes of the country to each other, His Majesty will be forced to criticize the court, and the Dali Temple will be temporarily detained by the monarch.
We don't know what the purpose of the Guigu Sect is, but the ancestor is sure that Xin Wenli has done so much, and he definitely doesn't just want to pour dirty water on you, please forgive a certain family for bluntly saying that even if Xin Wenli wants to take your life, it is easy to do it, the ancestor thinks that the Guigu Sect is more likely to show favor to the king, therefore, the Guigu Sect will never watch the monarch fall into prison, and as long as they dare to make a move, it will be the time for us to do it! β
Looking at Wang Xi Tieqing's face, Ouyang Yin said: "As long as the monarch can fully cooperate, the internal and external officials will do their best to protect the safety of the monarch."
"And then?" Wang Xi said angrily: "After Dali Temple detains me, how will it end? Obeyed the wishes of the Guozijian and the Chang'an County Order, and burned someone to death in the downtown of Chang'an? β
Ouyang Yin chuckled and said: "The internal and external officials are waiting for the heavens, we have a way to let the ministers who are in power go to prison immediately, and naturally there are also ways to restore the nobles in a prison to their former glory." β
When the two walked out of the backyard, it was already close to dusk, Ouyang Yin bowed his hand to leave, walked a few steps, and suddenly stopped, and a crossbow arrow was nailed to the floor under his feet and buzzed.
Not far away, Xu Sidao held a crossbow in his hand, and said angrily with a bow: "Gentlemen, meet again?!" Do you remember what you said when you put so-and-so out? β
Ouyang Yin looked at Wang Xi with a gloomy face: "Bailu Hou? β
Wang Xi didn't seem to hear it, the old god was leaning on the Taishi's chair, and said lazily: "Don't you see that you are going to fight?" Make room for others! β
Zhang Shi and the others dispersed knowingly, Zhang Lin and Zhang Hu held the crossbow, and the bow blocked the exit of the gate in front of Ouyang Yin.
Xu Sidao laughed wildly, threw away the crossbow and bow, lifted a long shot upside down, and strode over!
After dinner, after settling the stepmother and Xiaoxiao'er and other family members, Wang Xi held a crossbow and sat on the Taishi chair in the middle of the front yard.
Xu Sidao held Changshuo behind him, Wang Xi looked at the sky a little earlier, and then chatted: "How is it?" Erlang, how is Ouyang Yin's kung fu? β
Xu Sidao chuckled and said: "I was only scratched a few times by a certain person, and it is okay, if he is holding a sword, he should be between him and a certain person." β
"Brother Xi," Xu Sidao looked around at the quiet courtyard: "You said that the thing we were waiting for, will it come?" β
Wang Xi looked at the night sky worriedly: "I don't know, do my best, obey the destiny of heaven." β
Just after the hour, Wang Xi in the courtyard couldn't help dozing, Xu Sidao sat on the ground and leaned on Wang Xi to take a nap, and a black shadow floated from the night sky in the distance like a ghost.
The moon is like a sickle, the moonlight is not bright, but the white grimace of the black shadow is faintly visible.
The black shadow floated to the sky above the Hou Mansion, swept a few feet above Wang Xi's head, as if touching something, a copper bell rang, Wang Xi suddenly raised his head, and after seeing the black shadow, the crossbow arrow in his hand shot out instantly, Wang Xi shouted: "Do it!" β
In an instant, several crossbow arrows were shot at various corners and eaves of the house, and the grimace black shadow quickly moved and flashed on the roof tiles, and it was easy to dodge.
Wang Xi snorted angrily, ghosts are also afraid of crossbow arrows?
Now that it is clear that the ghost is nothing more than a human pretense, everything is simple.
"Up!"
A few angry shouts, Zhang Shi and others, who were also dressed in black in the shadows of several rooftops, pulled up several huge fishing nets and blocked the black shadow in several directions, Xu Sidao took the rest of the people to use crossbows and bows to force the black shadow in the direction of the fishing nets.
The space that the black shadow can give to the flash is getting smaller and smaller, during which a few crossbow arrows were shot, and the movement became slower and slower, Xu Sidao climbed on the roof, snatched the fishing net in Zhang Lin's hand, and covered it with a vertical leap, the black shadow was pulled down from the eaves and fell heavily to the ground, and the people who had been waiting around rushed up.
