Chapter 596: Between Life and Death

Nine sides to rush the number of Xuanfu, the mountains and rivers here are disputed, and the land is dangerous and narrow.

The sound of hurried horses' hooves came from the other side of the mountain, and then, dozens of horses crossed the mountain, and looked into the distance, and they could already see the tall walls of Xuanfu City.

"The last paragraph! Come on! Silently looking at the sun hanging high in the sky, the horsewhip pointed directly at Xuanfu and said, "Go directly to the city!" So he took the lead and ran down the hillside. The team roared down, wrapping him back in the middle.

As we got closer to the city, the walls got higher and higher.

Suddenly. A few feathered arrows were shot from the top of the city, and the first few horsemen struck the reins so violently that the horses' front hooves were raised, and they were able to avoid the feathered arrows. The horses behind flashed past the side, and they tightened their reins, and the team came to a halt.

"Who is under the city!" The captain of the city asked in a loud voice.

looked at this broad daylight silently, but the city gate was closed, and my heart couldn't help sinking. Secretly said: "It seems that it has already been done!" , then said loudly: "We are the old people of Xiaoge, the previous order was wrong, open the city gate quickly, Yang Shun will die if you miss a big thing!" ”

The defenders received an order from Shangfeng in the morning, and today the city should take the thieves, and they can't let go of one" This is only in broad daylight to close the city gate, and now when I hear such a big tone from the people outside, and then see that they are neat and tidy, and they are riding stagecoaches, I can't help muttering. A hundred households guarding the city said: "Please wait, my marshal is supervising the beheading, and as soon as three o'clock in the afternoon, the city gate will open." ”

When he heard this, he was so anxious that his throat smoked, and he shouted, "That's what I'm here for!" Xiao Ge Lao said that the man couldn't be killed! Otherwise, the emperor would have to take Yang Shun's life! ”

With his bluffing, the hundred households guarding the city were frightened and said, "Then I'll go and report it!" ”

"You have no evidence, tell a fart!" Shen Mo scolded loudly: "Hurry up and open the door, Lao Tzu will go to see Yang Shun, he will definitely not blame you!" ”

"And what if it's to blame?" The hundred households have been completely shaken.

"All the responsibility is on me!" Silence said categorically: "Open the door!" "Inside the city. At the crossroads, the riots have reached a fever pitch, and the people and soldiers are fighting, and the scene is chaotic.

Lu Tu tightly grasped the cannon in his hand, as soon as Shen Lian's head landed, he immediately fired the cannon and sent a large team of soldiers into the field to arrest people!

Two bright ghost-headed broadswords were raised, and the executioner shouted: "Evil is coming!" Then he was about to raise his sword and drop it, but he saw a ghostly person jumping on the execution table.

The sword and axe man in charge of the guard was about to kill, but when he saw that this person was wearing a flying fish suit and an embroidered spring knife with a collapsed waist, he was awe-inspiring and inviolable, and he didn't dare to do anything.

Everyone was stunned by this sudden scene, and the room fell silent for a moment.

Lu Tu saw the man clearly, and couldn't help but say angrily: "Nian Qianhu, do you want to rob the Dharma field?" ”

The person who came was Nian Yongkang, and he said loudly: "The latest information of Jinyiwei, there are many suspicious points in this case, and the emperor ordered the execution to be suspended and remanded for retrial!" When he landed, the audience cheered, "Long live, the voice."

Lu Kai's face turned pale immediately, but in a blink of an eye, he felt that it was impossible, and said: "There is no evidence, why should I believe you?" ”

"Who said I had no proof!" Nian Yongkang sneered?

"Then you take it out." Lu Kai sighed in his heart, raised the sentence on the table and said, "As long as you can be bigger than it, I will listen to you!" ”

"The time is not coming." Nian Yongkang said: "I can't show you now." ”

"Sure enough, it's a false word." Lu Yan said with relief: "Since you can't produce evidence, then you have to follow the palindrome of the Criminal Department!" He waved his hand and said, "Execution!" ”

"Slow!" Nian Yongkang pointed to the leaky pot in the field and said: "It's not even three o'clock in the afternoon, and you are in a hurry to kill." Could it be something shady? ”

"Are you talking nonsense, don't you see any rebellion among the people?" Lu Kai pointed to the bottom of the stage.

"I didn't see any rebels;" Nian Yongkang snorted and said, "Wait until three o'clock in the afternoon, and I will show you the evidence!" ”

"Humph! Wait to see if you are poor! Lu Kai said: "There is less than a moment in the horizontal and vertical, just wait!" ”

The scene fell silent. Everyone's eyes are focused on the benchmark in the leaky pot, the ink leaks out of the small hole at the bottom of the pot, the water level in the pot drops, revealing more and more scales, when the red dot representing the three quarters of noon appears, it is the time to kill, not to be missed! I think it's incredible; However, the ticking grew louder and louder, and he awoke suddenly, and looked up at the street to the east. I saw dozens of horsemen carrying Huang Chen and rushing over from the street.

"Oh no, fooled!" Lu Kai fell to his feet and shouted: "Execution! ”

"Who dare!" Nian Qianhu took out the snowy embroidered spring knife, pointed to a dry executioner and said, "Whoever moves will kill whoever moves!" ”

The executioners all looked at the old man, and the old man whispered, "Wait and see." "These executioners do not belong to the official establishment, but are hereditary or passed down from master to apprentice, so as soon as the master speaks, he does not move.

"Knife and axe hands!" Lu Kai was annoyed and said angrily: "Whoever dares to stop it, don't kill him!" Then he commanded the soldiers in the distance: "Stop them!" "There was another commotion in the audience, and the soldiers and the people writhed

"The emperor has an order, keep people under the knife!" The team of knights shouted loudly together: "The order has arrived, Yang Shun Lukai has received the order!" "The pro-soldiers of the Governor's Palace were supposed to come forward to stop it. Hearing this, they all flashed aside.

The crowd, which was originally chaotic like a tidal wave, miraculously gave way and made the riders roar past and rush to the execution platform.

The silence made the guards gathered around him dodge, and eagerly looked towards the execution platform, and at a glance saw Shen Lian, who was tied up and kneeling by five flowers, wearing a uniform, a goose pear horn, and a red paper flower.

Seeing the master in such a miserable state, Shen Mo felt extremely uncomfortable, and after taking a deep look at him, he moved his gaze to the prison officer. Nian Yongkang took advantage of the fact that everyone was stunned. Pull Shen Lian's father and son in front of him and protect them.

Knowing that this matter was messed up, Lu Kai's face turned pale, and he scolded the city defenders in his heart for what they were eating! How could these people be allowed to run in?

He was stunned, and a bearded knight stepped forward and said: "Where is Yang Shunlu, the Imperial History of the Left Jin Capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate came silently by order, why don't you come and listen to the edict!" ”

Lu Kai knelt down in a daze, and Yang Shun over there also stumbled downstairs and came to kneel side by side with him.

Shen Mo got off the horse, slowly walked in front of the two, and announced the edict of Emperor Jiajing. He showed the two of them and said, "Let's check it out, two adults."

Lu Kai and Yang Shunzhan took the edict with great vigilance, only to see that it was a silk brocade woven from fine silk, and the four corners of it were embroidered with auspicious clouds and cranes, which was magnificent. Look at the handwriting on it again. It was very elegant, Yang Shun had seen the emperor's handwriting, and nodded while wiping his sweat: "It is the emperor's handwriting."

Shen Mo took it over, received it in his arms and said: "Two adults, get up, today is not the day to kill, let's let the old and young masters disperse; ”

"Alas, it's okay," Yang Shun got up and said, "Disperse." They all dispersed, so the pro-soldiers collected the team, the onlookers also dispersed, and Shen Lian's father and son were guarded by the silent guards.

Seeing that the chickens and eggs were beating all of a sudden, Yang Shun and Lu Kai couldn't help but panic, and in the end, the latter came back to his senses first, and said with a smile: "Lord Shen turned out to be a colleague of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, so we should be close and close," Yang Shun listened, and immediately answered: "It turned out to be a family, so it has to be close; In this way, go to my house to pick up the wind and wash the dust for Lord Shen! ”

Lu Tu nodded and smiled: "Exactly." ”

Shen Mo refused: "It is important to interrogate the prisoners, please ask the big marshal to bring those White Lotus Sect demons to the post house." The lower official asked for a good interrogation. ”

"Dedicated, really dedicated!" Yang Shun said with a smile: "Of course people can give it to adults, but when you come to Xuanfu and live in a post house, isn't it handsome?" Saying that, he patted his chest and said, "Let's live in my brother's governor's mansion, and make sure that Brother Shen is satisfied!" "That oily face is full of sincerity, which makes people unconsciously feel close.

How could Shen Mo live in the Governor's Mansion and be watched by him everywhere? So he still insisted on staying in the post house, but promised to attend the banquet in the evening, so Yang Shun stepped down. The two sides agreed to meet in the evening, Yang Shun and Lu Kai got on the sedan chair and went back to the house to pick up prisoners for him, while Shen Mo sat in another sedan chair prepared for him and went to the post house. Poured with lead, it was like being scalded by a soldering iron, Shen Mo reached out and touched the inner thigh, even through the cotton pants, there was still a burst of heart-piercing pain, so he couldn't help but gasp the cold breath, and didn't have the courage to look at it again.

Sanchi knew the situation of the adult, so the sedan chair entered the post house, first let the sedan chair driver avoid it, then opened the sedan curtain, and asked with concern: "My lord, it doesn't matter."

Shen Mo shook his head and wanted to get out of the sedan chair, but his legs were weak and he didn't stand up. Sanchi hurriedly supported him and carried him out of the sedan chair.

was silent, slowly straightened his waist, and when he saw Jinyi Wei Qianhu kneeling on one knee in front of him, he couldn't help but smile: "You are Nian Qianhu, right?" ”

"Yes, Jinyi Wei Xuan Da Thousand Years Yongkang. Meet the old uncle! That year, Yongkang gave Shen Mo a respectful salute that he had been hiding in the city, paying close attention to the execution ground and the east city gate, but he did not dare to act rashly, until he learned that Shen Mo had opened the city gate, he rushed to the execution table first, and saved Shen Lian's father and son from the knife, which can be described as a great contribution.

"Hehe, please get up." Shen Mo helped him and said, "It's time for me to salute you, if it weren't for you, I would regret it for the rest of my life." ”

Nian Yongkang got up and said solemnly.

"Yes," Shen Mo smiled at him, and said with a long sigh of relief, "It's finally not too late." As he spoke, he asked, "Where are my master and brother now?" ”

In the inner room, Nian Yongkang said: "Take a bath first, and then talk about bad luck."

"Brother Nian is so careful." Shen silently stretched out his thumb. smiled at him and said, "Then let's go and sit in the house first, come over and help him, and slowly walk into the house."

Nian Yongkang looked at Shen Mo limping and asked in a low voice, "Is it a horse grinding?"

There is no other possibility Shen smiled bitterly and said: "In the past few years, I have been sitting in a sedan chair all day, and I can't help but toss."

Nian Yongkang smiled understandingly: "There is a kind of Mongolian medicine in the humble position, which specializes in this, and the effect is very good, if the old uncle doesn't mind."

"Of course I don't mind, whether it's Chinese medicine or Mongolian medicine, the one that can cure the disease is a good doctor." Shen Mo joked again: "But there is one thing I mind

"Old uncle, please speak." Nian Yongkang said in fear: "The humble position must be corrected!" ”

"I don't mind what you call me, what old uncle? Am I that old? Just call out brother. Shen Mo scolded with a smile.

That would never dare Nian Yongkang said in fear: "If the old uncle is unwilling." I'll just call you an adult

Okay, he entered the room silently and said, "Let's not sit down yet." went straight to bed, I am Yixuan, and I can't help it Nian Yongkang nodded, turned around and closed the door.

Sanchi helped Shen Mo into the inner bedroom, laid out the futon and lay down, Shen Mo fell straight on it, and said to Sanchi: "Help me see what the injury has become."

"Let's wait for a while, Nian Yongkang said: "The net rises from the stove." It's not hot in the house

"Okay, then let's talk first, nodded silently. Nian Yongkang said on the side: "I don't know what the adults will plan to do next, and if there is anything that needs to be cooperated, can you just talk about it?"

"I really don't want to hide it, I'm not the only Qincha and said silently: "This time the emperor has made a big decision, the military department, the criminal department, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and your Jinyi Guard will all send personnel, I am only one of the representatives of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the three-way immortals will arrive in two or three days at the latest."

The adult meant that Nian Yongkang said softly: "To make full use of these two or three days? ”

"Not bad!" Silent cast an approving glance at him; These few days are precious, and he frowned: "But" I was afraid that Yan Shifan's messenger was about to arrive, and he laughed self-deprecatingly: "That's just certain, if Yang Shun Lukai knows the inside story, he will definitely not be afraid of him anymore, then this play will not be able to sing."

It is not difficult for Yongkang to nod and say, "I will give the order to go down and let the brothers intercept the messenger!" ”

"That couldn't be better." He smiled silently, and kicked his leg unconsciously, grinning in pain.

"Let's show it to you." Nian Yongkang said: "It's quite warm in the house. So saying, he got up and said, "I will pass down the order." ”

Then I was rude and smiled at him silently. When Yongkang left, he unbuttoned his trousers and wanted to take off his pants. Who knew that as soon as the net was pulled, he was sweating all over, and he lost his strength in pain, and said to Sanchi: "Help me."

Sanchi carefully helped Shen Mo take off his outer pants, and when it came to taking off his cotton pants, no matter how careful he was. It was so painful that his face turned blue and he trembled all over, and it turned out that the inner thighs had been stuck with the cotton pants, and he couldn't take them off unless the skin was open.

Sanchi had no choice but to cut the cotton pants from the trouser legs, leaving only the inner thighs, and then removed the table only to find that the snow-white cotton inside had been dyed bright red, and then carefully removed the cotton, and saw that the whole lining had been knotted with a large abrasion on the inner thighs, showing a terrible dark red.

Three feet to take a breath of cold air, I couldn't help but scratch my head and said, "What can I do about this?" ”

"I'll do it." Nian Yongkang carried two porcelain bottles and returned, and said to Sanchi: "I am more experienced in this, so I poured out a bowl of warm water from the pot, dipped it in water with a soft brush, and gently brushed it on a wound, soaked the whole cloth for a while, and then gently lifted it, and then removed it."

Sanchi, who was watching from the sidelines, couldn't help but smile and said: "Sure enough, it is not difficult for those who will listen, but they listen to Nian Yongkang and say: "Help me hold down the adult."

"Will it hurt? Sanchi said worriedly.

"Salt water, you have to wash the wounds." Nian Yongkang shook one of the bottles.

"No need to press, I can bear it." Shen Mo said with a resolute face, silently reciting the names of a series of heroes in his heart, gritting his teeth and saying, "Come on."

"My lord, I really made the lowly officials look at the civil officials with admiration, and Nian Yongkang was amazed.

Who knew that the next mystery, the scream of "whooping" spread throughout the entire post station, so that the guards under the net break suddenly became frightened, and when they heard the screams endlessly, they seemed to be enjoying it very much, and then they relaxed again. Wrapped in a cloth, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and asked, "How do you feel?" ”

"Oh" Shen Mo's face turned pale, and he said with trembling lips: "It's much more comfortable, it's quite cool."

"This medicine is precious, swords, guns, sticks, sores, and a hundred cures!" Nian Yongkang also breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Your wound looks scary, after all, it is just a bruise, just rest for a day or two."

"How can you be convinced?" Shen Mo smiled bitterly: "I have to go to the Governor's Mansion for a banquet tonight." ”

"Can't you take a day off? Sanchi said loudly: "Those people won't be able to arrive tomorrow." ”

"Nope". Shen Mo shook his head. He said in a deep voice: "You must take advantage of the two of them." frightened, break through their defenses; Otherwise, it won't be good to sleep and figure it out, and drag the days with me

Chapter I. There is a second chapter in the rumors of the rivers and lakes, because tonight's ball is not good-looking, but I'm not sure if it's tonight or tomorrow morning, and I'll watch it tomorrow morning")
