Chapter 33: Blackmail
"Good thief, there is still an ambush!" The general flag changes color.
"Saber of the Kingswood!" Baihu said in a low voice: "I'm afraid things are not good, the Royal Forest Army is also involved." Whether this person's words are true or false, the contempt in that tone is absolutely true, the forces of the eunuch party may have only found the tip of the iceberg, and there are a large number of hidden under the water, this matter is very important, do not slack off, immediately turn back to Dongchang Mansion, and tell the Lord of Qianhu! ”
"Yes, sir! I will keep my brothers shut, and this matter must not be spread today. ”
"Good!"
Jin Yiwei quickly formed a team and rode away.
On the road, everyone was in a heavy mood, and the irrepressible repetition of the scene just now appeared in their minds, Cheng Ming's tone and movements, as well as the words he said, made them involuntarily sink a little bit every time.
The eunuch party is really a tree with deep roots.
The stump on the surface is cut off, but the roots hidden in the secret, no one knows how many there are, if what that person said is true, then I am afraid that there are still many hidden people in the states and counties of the Ming Dynasty.
This Wei Zhongxian is really amazing.
Baihu repeatedly recalled the actions of those men in black, and the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became.
These black-clothed people have strong martial arts, fast movements, and when they run, they can even chase the galloping horses, even if they are masters in the brocade guards, it is difficult to match them, Wei Gelding is actually twenty as soon as he makes a move!
I'm afraid things are worse than expected.
Dark clouds covered the sky, and the sky gradually became gloomy.
Could it be that the sky is going to change again?
---------
Broken temple, quiet and unusual.
Cheng Ming stopped with his hands and beckoned, and a vine slowly crawled out of the dry well, twisting around with cute flower bones, as if he was coquettish.
Suddenly, the flower opened and took a bite.
Cheng Ming flicked his fingers, and the flower stiffened suddenly, and then quickly lost its moisture and fell down into a pile of powder.
"Plant transformation, it's really wild and untamable, even I bite it!" Cheng Ming smiled bitterly: "The animal department is obedient, the direction of evolution cannot be controlled, and the plant department can be transformed at will, but it is disobedient." It's not perfect. ”
Cheng Ming sensed slightly, walked to the back of the hillside, and sure enough, he saw a pile of dried corpses.
There was a deep hole in the hillside, and there was some powder in the ground, apparently the rhizome of the vine, which was responsible for removing impurities from the body.
The dried corpses had lost all their body water and were dehydrated like a dried salted fish.
Cheng Ming stood for a while, and suddenly a dried corpse struggled to sit up, and as he moved, his body gradually bulged up, and it returned to its original state little by little. He looked left and right, picked up a set of armor clothes not far away, and began to put them on slowly.
As the first one got up, the rest of the dried corpses also got up one after another, tidied up their clothes with a blank expression, looked at Cheng Ming, and waited for the order.
Cheng Ming nodded, "It seems that controlling neurons through plant fibers is much more efficient than direct comprehensive replacement, and there are also some pre-mortem instincts, you can eat by yourself to maintain your body's energy, and you have a connection with me through lower cells, so you can complete simple commands, which is good." ”
The previous plant, Cheng Ming's dietary preference for it was blood, and the process of swallowing food to suck up the blood was a bit like the process of washing machine drying, and those dried corpses naturally defecated.
The lower cells evolve blood to restore the vitality of the body, and the plant fibers control the nerves, becoming a coma in the brain, but the body is in a state of sleepwalking, and the constitution is basically unchanged.
As a result, their force value is very different from that of the men in black, almost the same as when they were alive.
----
Shen County, City Gate.
A team of Jinyi guards roared past, and the soldiers who watched the city gate shrank their necks, and when they saw that the Jinyi guards had gone away, they breathed a sigh of relief and said in a low voice: "Why are these deadly ghosts here, is there something wrong with us here?" ”
"Shut your mouth and don't speak! Stay here honestly, and I'll report to you right away. The head glared at him fiercely, and trotted all the way to disappear.
In front of the county yamen, Cheng Ming slowly stopped, and nearly two hundred people behind him brutally surrounded the county yamen.
Han Zhixian trotted out all the way, sweating profusely, and arched his hand with a smile: "Eh, yes, my lord is coming to this county, and the lower officials have never been far away, please forgive me!" ”
He was followed by three or five followers, with the same smile on his face, but his legs couldn't help but tremble.
This is the Jinyi Guard, the urging Hades, the hungry ghost who eats people, who dares not to be afraid.
Cheng Ming glanced at him, didn't speak, and went straight into the county office. Twenty blacks divided into two groups, carrying long sabers diagonally over their right shoulders, followed neatly behind.
Han Zhixian wiped his sweat and said in a low voice: "What the hell is going on?" ”
Several of the attendants shook their heads.
"A bunch of rubbish, what about Mr. Shen? Go find it for me! ”
After speaking, he hurriedly entered the county office and shouted, "My lord! Your Excellency, wait for the lower official, the lower official will show you the way. ”
The attendants hurriedly dispersed.
Directly entered the main hall, the black-clothed people were lined up left and right, Cheng Ming sat unceremoniously on the big old man's chair, saw Han Zhixian walk in with a smile on his face, and said lightly: "Han Zhixian, are you guilty?" ”
Han Zhixian chuckled in his heart, and the sweat on his face came down, "My lord... Don't be kidding, the lower officials are afraid! ”
"Scared? Why didn't I see it? You dare to gather 500 men and horses to plunder the people, what else do you dare not do? Cheng Ming snorted, "The magistrate is the leader of the bandits, this is the first time this kind of thing has been encountered by the official, Lord Han will come with me, there is a private room for you in the Imperial Prison." When the time comes, let the brothers serve you well, and you will also tell us how you became the leader of the bandits from a county to a thief. ”
Han Zhixian sat on the ground with weak legs, crying: "Wronged, sir, wronged!" That's a civil fight, and the lower officials are there to mediate! It's none of the official's business! ”
At this time, Mr. Shen walked in, and when he saw Cheng Ming, his face changed slightly, and he hugged his fists and said, "I've seen my lord." Dare to ask your surname? ”
Cheng Ming threw the sign over, Mr. Shen took it and looked at it, hugged his fists and said, "I've seen Master Wu!" ”
"See clearly, okay, Han Zhixian, come with me!"
"Don't, don't!" Han Zhixian's snot and tears flowed down together, and he was about to pee his pants in fear.
"Lord Wu! Please listen to the villain! Mr. Shen interjected.
Cheng Ming glanced at him, and Mr. Shen said, "I don't know why the adults are angry?" There are no outsiders here, I don't know if it can be made explicit. ”
"Cross Slope!"
With just three words, Mr. Shen understood.
"Yes, little one understands!"
He whispered to Han Zhixian what he said, and Han Zhixian showed a look of struggle on his face, but finally nodded.
Then he walked out, and after a short time came back with a small box, and gently placed it on the table.
