Zhenfu Liang Xiu took over the Jinyi Weinan Division for several months, but he did not make an inch, so he had great expectations for the trip to Yunyang Mansion, and personally led the team to the south, and was the first to enter the Fuzhi Yamen.

While he was still on the road, he had already heard about strange things in the backyard of the yamen.

Now, he finally saw it with his own eyes.

"Yuan Jie is not small, and the strange things under his nose dare not be reported." Liang Xiu ordered people to remove the soil and rocks, revealing the deep pit below.

The darkness is bottomless, and other than that, there is nothing unusual, there is no yin wind coming out, and there is no strange sound coming, but I feel a little dizzy after watching it for a long time.

Liang Xiu was disappointed and ordered, "Go down and have a look." ”

No one answered, and he brought ten lieutenants of the Southern Division and more than twenty executioners, all of whom were carefully selected and reliable, but they all remained silent at this time.

Liang Xiu was furious, as Nansi Zhenfu, he should have sat in the yamen to review official documents, but now he was the first to come to a dangerous place, and these people who were subordinates were actually cowardly in battle.

"Will you let me go down myself?" He stared at a lieutenant, confident that he could hold him down.

The lieutenant coughed twice uneasily, "Or ...... I'll go outside and find someone, and there will be a brave man under the reward, or ask the prefect's yamen for a prisoner......"

"Where are you the captain?" Liang Xiu is handsome and slightly womanly, and because of this, he must always show ruthlessness so as not to be looked down upon.

"Huh?" The lieutenant became more and more flustered, and did not understand what the adults meant.

"I asked you which yamen captain you are?" Liang Xiu repeated word by word.

"Jinyi Wei...... Nansi Yamen, the captain under the adult. ”

"What does Nanji do?"

"Nanji...... Responsible for the management of the Guardian Craftsman, and at the same time, to ...... also secretly search for immortals. The lieutenant's voice grew softer and softer.

"You know this kind of thing is going to be done in secret?"

The captain was red-faced, so he had no choice but to say: "The villain is guilty, this is ...... This will take people down. ”

When the two executioners heard the word "lead people", their faces immediately showed panic, and sure enough, the captain beckoned to them, "Prepare the rope, let's go down to explore the cave." ”

The ropes were all ready-made, first connected into three long ropes, and then tied around the waists of each of the three people.

The lieutenant glanced at his colleagues, knowing that this adventure could not be pushed to others, he sighed silently in his heart, and said to the two fans: "You go first, I follow, and you are behind." ”

The division of the town is next to supervise, how dare the executioner disobey, on the contrary, he has to behave very enthusiastically, the same voice should be, the person who was designated to take the head took a deep breath, tried to rub for a while, and finally could not delay any longer, and said to the few people who were pulling the rope: "Brothers, my life is in your hands, hold it tight." ”

Fanzi grabbed the rope with both hands, stepped on the wall of the cave, and slowly entered the deep pit.

The lieutenant didn't say much, he bowed his hand to Lord Zhenfu, stepped on the edge of the deep pit, and was about to go down, when there was a sudden noise in the front yard.

Liang Xiu was startled, turned around to look, the captain was happy, standing on the edge and not moving, hoping for a miracle to stay with him, but the head of the executioner did not know, he was still slowly descending, and the rope slipped through the hands of several people on the ground little by little.

Liang Xiu carried with him an official document signed by the chief of the Jinyi Guard, and as soon as he entered the Fuzhi Yamen, he issued a strict order that no one was allowed to disturb them in the backyard on business, even if the prefect was there in person.

So he didn't understand who else in Yunyang Mansion would dare to make trouble.

The answer soon appeared, it was really not from Yunyang Mansion.

The forty-year-old Zuo Pre is nominally a Jinyi Wei Baihu, but he has been working in Dongchang for many years, perhaps because he has been with the eunuchs for too long, his chin is also grassy, and his face has many wrinkles, three or four of which are long and deep, carved on his face like a scar, adding a bit of ruthlessness and ferocity.

He also led a group of men and horses to Yunyang Mansion, only one step behind Nansi, his clothes and boots were covered with dust, as if he had just come out of the mud.

Zuo Yu has a habit of tilting his head to look at people, and at the same time holding the handle of the knife with his left hand, with a posture of pulling a guy and grabbing people at any time.

Liang Xiu was furious in his heart.

Strictly speaking, both belong to the Dongchang faction, so the competition is quite fierce, and the newly appointed Liang Xiu especially needs this credit.

"Why did Zuo Baihu come?" Liang Xiu frowned and asked, "If I'm not mistaken, we have a clear distinction in Dongchang, I will come to Yunyang Mansion, and you will stay in the capital." ”

Baihu is lower than Zhenfu's grade, so Zuo Yu wanted to bow to Liang Xiu, but there was no respect on his face, "The situation is changing rapidly, not long after Liang Zhenfu left, Dongchang got the news that Yunyang Mansion was more troublesome, so the factory sent me over to help." I was in a hurry, but Liang Zhenfu walked too fast, and I never caught up. Fortunately, I arrived in time and didn't delay the big event......"

Liang Xiu walked in front of Zuo Yu and said in a low voice: "Don't come to this set, you want to come to Yunyang Mansion by all means, it's nothing more than to grab credit." Delaying a big event? You don't come to the most stop. Tell you, I'm in charge here, you want to steal the credit......"

The left pre-finger points behind Liang Xiu.

"What?"

"It seems to be a bit of a hassle to calm down the adults."

Liang Xiu hated his subordinates, if he had enough time, he would have transferred Nansi entirely, but now he can only accept this group of incompetent people.

He turned around and looked angrily.

The lieutenant he had appointed was already far away from the edge of the pit, with a rope tied around his waist, and his face was terrified and frightened.

"What's going on?"

The lieutenant pointed to the rope that had been stretched straight into the pit, but now it was lying limply on the ground.

"What the hell?" Liang Xiu was a little disappointed, if the bottom of the pit was so deep, it seemed that there would be no surprises.

The lieutenant shook his head.

"Speak!" Liang Xiu said angrily.

"The other end of the rope...... No, there is no weight. ”

Liang Xiu walked over in a few steps and said to the few people in charge of pulling the rope: "What are you waiting for?" ”

Several people hurriedly started to pull the rope, in fact, one person was enough, and the rope was not heavy at all.

The rope came up, there was nothing at the end, even the knots were untied.

Liang Xiu grabbed the rope and looked at it for a while, "What about people?" ”

No one could answer, Liang Xiu suddenly threw the end of the rope at the designated captain, "Didn't I let you go down?" Why are you still standing here? ”

The lieutenant didn't dare to dodge, and let the rope hit him in the face, "I want to go down, but ...... But......" he pointed to the empty rope that had fallen to the ground, and felt that the reason was so good that he needed nothing more.

"Go down, go down immediately, if you can't come up, I'll change someone else." Liang Xiu felt that his majesty had been damaged and that it had to be restored.

The lieutenant had no choice but to slowly walk towards the deep pit, and when he was about to reach the edge, he said to his executioner: "You go first." ”

"Am I not the Highness?"

"Replace your head." The lieutenant pulled his hand over and said in a low voice: "I didn't raise you to collect Lao Tzu's body, go down, I'll be behind you." ”

Fanshou was directly under the control of the captain, how dare he argue, so he had to tremble and move down into the pit, and when he disappeared into the darkness, the captain had no other reason to push, and he slowly dragged the rope into the pit.

Liang Xiu stood aside to supervise, his eyes swept around, if there was another accident, he had to continue to send people down.

Everyone who was seen was terrified, and secretly prayed that the two people who entered the pit could successfully complete the task.

Zuo Pre also brought more than 20 people, all of whom stood in the distance and watched, Zuo Pre walked over by himself and stopped beside Liang Xiu, "They can't come back." ”

"Hey, don't worry, there are many people in Nansi, and it takes a thousand days to raise soldiers, and now is the time for them to do their duty."

"The captain of Jinyi is taking the imperial court, and he is a member of the imperial court, not our ......"

Liang Xiu looked at Zuo Yu coldly, "In the capital, what the adults above say counts, here, what I say, not only my people, you and your subordinates, you and your subordinates have to go down." ”

Zuo Zhen shook his head, "Neither I nor my people will go down." ”

Liang Xiu narrowed his eyes slightly, "You are disobeying orders, I will record it in the book, and hand it over to the factory after returning to Beijing." ”

Dongchang Factory Gong Shangming is Zuo Pre's top boss and Liang Xiu's backer, but Zuo Pre is not afraid, and a ruthless smile appeared on his ruthless face, "This is the order of the factory man." ”

"What order?"

Zuo Yu slowly took out a letter from his bosom and handed it over, "The factory has ordered that no one should be sent into the pit. ”

Liang Xiu was shocked, opened the letter, read it quickly, his face turned pale, hesitated, and said to the two groups of men who were dragging the rope: "...... them"

Before he could finish speaking, a rope suddenly fell to the ground, apparently there was no one on the other end.

"Drag it up!" Liang Xiu had to retract his previous order.

The softened rope was quickly pulled out, the other was much slower, and the others went up to help, hoping to save the captain's life.

Liang Xiu said to the left: "You already had this order, and you only took it out now......

"Lord Zhenfu is in a bad mood, I took it out as soon as I found an opportunity, everyone here can testify, don't forget to record it in the book."

Liang Xiu was so choked that he couldn't speak.

Fortunately, the third rope remained tight, and everyone worked hard to finally pull the last captain up.

The captain is not dead, but he is not a living person, his body is basically intact, and he has many small injuries from the cave wall. He fainted, breathing only a faint breath.

Nansi and the others were busy saving people, Liang Xiu pulled Zuo Yu aside and said in a low voice: "What else do you know, just say it together." ”

"I have received news that this cave contains a treasure, but it needs to be sacrificed with 3,000 living people, and it seems that the few people brought by the Lord Fu are not enough."

"Where did you get the news?" Liang Xiu gritted his teeth and asked, this should have been Nansi's news, but he didn't know anything.

Zuo Yu didn't answer, "This credit is not small, one person can't swallow it, it's better to work together and get together three thousand people first." ”

Liang Xiu slowly squeezed out a smile, "Okay, but where to find so many living people to sacrifice?" This kind of thing cannot be done publicly. ”

"Nowhere else, except for Yunyang Mansion, this place is full of displaced people, only some of them are registered, and many have not yet been recorded in the official household register, for the imperial court, they do not exist, and it is easy to gather 3,000 people."

Liang Xiu showed a real smile this time, "Jiang is still old and spicy, admire, admire." ”

Zuo Yu arched his hand and said: "Nansi's duty to search for immortals and visit the Dao is likely to end in the hands of Lord Liang, which is something worthy of admiration by the people of the world." ”

Liang Xiu returned the salute, and the two looked at each other and smiled, completely ignoring the victims in the pit and the unconscious captain.

At this moment, they really wanted to join forces to build a miracle, but five days later, the two groups drew their swords against each other, neither of them wanted to let each other live one more day.
