Chapter 302: Luring the Snake Out of the Hole 2
Princess Wannian is in a good mood at the moment, although she doesn't know who is waiting for an opportunity to rescue her, and she can't wait to come up with several such candidates, but every time she comes up with such a name, she is immediately denied by herself, but even so, after learning that she is about to leave this "night owl" organization that makes her spine chill, she still can't hide the joy in her heart.
Her own joy could not be said to others, so the princess of Wannian turned this into food, she swept away the previous haze, and was concentrating on eating the sweet food sent by the maidservant.
At the same time, on the main hall of the Changshan County Guard's Mansion, there was a heated discussion, and the participants were all the heavyweight officials of the Yellow Turban Army and the County Guard's Mansion, the civilian leaders were Zang Hong, Zhang Baiqi and others, and the martial leaders were Zhao Yun, Zhou Cang, and Zhang He, who was respected by the sergeants as soon as he surrendered.
The civil and military generals at all levels gathered together, and the common topic was whether the commander Yuan Lang and the goddess Zhang Ning were assassinated, and if so, who did it, and who would lead the leaderless Yellow Turban Army.
"Everyone be quiet, the whereabouts of the lord are unknown, life and death are uncertain, we should send more people to find the whereabouts of the lord, instead of arguing here and wasting the best time to save the lord!"
Zang Hong got up to speak, he was the head of the clerks, so he naturally had the weight to speak.
"We have sent out more than a thousand people to rescue them, but the dungeon is extremely deep, even if we dig day and night, I'm afraid it will take three or four days!" In the silence, a person suddenly got up and said, "But there is something unclear below, please answer Bai Shuai?" ”
Zhang Baiqi squinted and didn't speak the whole time, and when he was named at this time, he couldn't help but open his eyes, and after seeing the person who got up to ask, he replied calmly: "General Tong Gui has anything to ask, just ask!" ”
The person who asked Zhang Bai was Tong Gui, one of the four fierce generals in the army, who was supported by Yuan Lang, so until now, he could not accept the assassination of his lord.
"Hmph, I heard that there were also Bai Shuai and Ling Ai Zhang Ruyan in the dungeon at the same time as the lord and the heavenly maiden, why were only the lord and his wife killed, didn't Bai Shuai have anything to explain?"
Tong Gui's words were full of questions, and outsiders could hear that Tong Gui was not questioning, but also locked the suspects who murdered Yuan Lang and Zhang Ning on the body of Bai Shuai Zhang Baiqi.
It's no wonder that Tong Gui and some people have such suspicions, and anyone wants to know how Zhang Baiqi's parents, who are also in the dungeon, escaped, and how the lord and his wife were killed.
Everyone's eyes looked at Zhang Baiqi in unison, and it was obvious that there were not a few people who had this kind of thought.
Just when the atmosphere suddenly became oppressive, a "woo" whimper suddenly came from outside the main hall.
"Woo, his second uncle, brother and sister......"
Then everyone's eyes moved neatly to the door of the temple, and in a blink of an eye, they saw a woman walking in with the support of a young man.
Everyone saw the identity of the woman clearly, and they all stood up to greet each other, because the person who came was not an outsider, it was Yuan Lang's sister-in-law Yuan Liu and his son Yuan Fengming.
"Yun Shuai!"
Yuan Fengming walked to Zhao Yun's side and said hello to Zhao Yun.
"Go sit down!"
Zhao Yun got up to greet Yuan Liu, and then replied to Yuan Fengming.
"Generals, generals, Feng Ming, his second uncle Ji Ren has his own natural appearance, and my younger brother and sister are also blessed by the lucky stars, you must not give up the search and rescue! I don't have any skills as a woman, so I'm kneeling down here to worship everyone! ”
As soon as Yuan Liu arrived at the scene, he unexpectedly led Yuan Fengming to kneel for the people present, and everyone was at a loss, but Zang Hong came forward, which stopped the two of them.
"Sister-in-law, please sit down first, we will definitely carry out the search and rescue to the end!" Zang Hong comforted him for a long time, and Yuan Liu stabilized his mood.
As Yuan Liu and Yuan Fengming sat down, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly returned to its previous appearance.
"Bai Shuai, just talk about it, everyone wants to hear what you say, although Tong Gui's words are a little rough, but what he said is exactly the question in everyone's hearts. Although I don't believe that this matter is related to you, but the rumors are hurtful, you should explain one or two! ”
At this time, it was Zhou Cang, the "old man" in the Yellow Turban Army, who was an old acquaintance with Zhang Baiqi, although he didn't believe that Zhang Baiqi could do the "killing of the master", but the so-called people are terrible, and the three of them become tigers, he has heard a lot, and naturally he is a little suspicious.
As Zhou Cang's questioning was completed, the scene fell silent all of a sudden, and everyone was waiting for Zhang Baiqi's answer, including Yuan Liu and Yuan Fengming, who had just arrived.
"Since everyone wants to hear the old man say a few words, then let's say a few words! But before the ugly words, this is the first time for the old man, and the last time for him to explain himself, if there are still people who maliciously seriously injured or even pressed the charge of 'killing the master' in the future, then don't blame the old man for turning his face and being ruthless! Seeing that he couldn't refuse, Zhang Baiqi could only get up and replied, "This morning, the old man was indeed in the dungeon with the lord and the heavenly maiden, and the purpose of this trip was to meet the enemy chief Yan Liang. Yan Liang is a repeat offender, so he was imprisoned in the cell at the bottom of the dungeon, when the lord and our group arrived at the gate of Yan Liang's prison, the lord was hindered by the old man who had a broken arm with Yan Liang before, so he proposed to let me stay, of course, my daughter Ru Yan and the heavenly maiden were also asked to stay, and there were only a few jailers who went in with the lord. The lord went in for a long time, and my daughter Ru Yan suddenly felt chest tightness and discomfort, the old man couldn't, so he could only accompany her back to the ground to repair first, and the heavenly maiden was not worried about the lord's safety, so she chose to stay. Soon after, the dungeon suddenly shook violently, and before the old man could react, he found that the wall of the cell rest room was broken, and then the ground began to sink, because he had a premonition that this place was about to collapse, so the old man forgot for a while that the lord and the goddess were still at the bottom of the dungeon, so he escaped with the little girl, and when he remembered the lord and the goddess, he had found that the dungeon had sunk throughout, and when he thought about going back to save, he was already powerless to return to the sky! …… What the old man said, the jailers who were with the old man at that time can testify, you may wish to summon a few to show the old man's innocence! ”
After Zhang Baiqi finished speaking, none of the people present spoke, only Zang Hong nodded slightly to the guard at the entrance of the main hall, and the latter walked out in understanding.
"Everyone, don't be impatient, the surviving jailers have all been brought outside the main hall, and we will randomly select a few people to come up for questioning, so we naturally know whether Bai Shuai's words are true or false!"
Zang Hong seems to have been prepared, and before Zhang Baiqi explained, he had already controlled the so-called "witnesses" who had saved the scene from collapse.
Sure enough, as Zhang Baiqi said, that is, in a moment's work, a jailer was brought up, but these people did not come in together, but came in one by one in order, the purpose was obvious, that is, to hear whether these people's words were consistent, if someone lied, then the people present were not blind, and they could naturally distinguish it.
