The city gate was closed, Liu Dehai issued an order to search for bandits in the whole city, and all the regimental training soldiers and horses were dispatched, and the city gates of the four cities were closed, and they began to pretend to make a fuss in the city.

After Wang Yuan and Gongsun Lan converged, they rushed back to the pavilion, returned to the room to change their clothes and tidy up, but they didn't have time to lay the floor, and they hugged each other and went into the bed to lie quietly. The breathing was a little calmer, and then there was time to talk to Gongsun Lan about what happened after leaving the house.

"Cousin, you just said that you encountered a strong opponent and had to retreat, what is going on?" Wang Yuanmiao asked in a low voice in Gongsun Lan's ear.

"Well, after you left, I blocked the front door to block them. But soon the fighting in the backyard stopped, and more than two dozen good men arrived. I saw that it was a bit difficult, and that the delay was about the same, so I chose to retreat to the shadows. They caught up in the streets, and I killed seven or eight of them in the shadows, delaying their pursuit, and that's all I could be. ”

"Could it be that among the soldiers Yang Shenjin was carrying, there were people with good skills? Cousin, you said you were a good hand, so you must not be joking. Wang Yuan wondered.

"It's not a soldier, it's another group of people, not wearing soldiers' clothes, but like the three people we killed outside Qian Santong's house that night, I thought, it should be Jiwen's men."

Wang Yuan sat up and thought for a while: "I see, I said, how could Yang Shenjin suddenly have so many more people guarding there, it turns out that Ji Wen and his people are also there." That makes sense. This is not surprising at all, and it is normal for the Gwen to hide there. We only counted Yang Shenjin's men, but we didn't count where Jiwen would be. Yu Dabao's news seems to be omission, and there has been no mention of the transfer of Jiwen's people in the past few days, and these two fools don't know if they are dead or alive. ”

Gongsun Lan said in a low voice: "Most of them are unlucky, Ji Wen's people are all good hands, plus there are nearly thirty soldiers guarding that house, they should be surrounded by regiments immediately after entering the backyard." It's a pity that so many people were lost at once. ”

Wang Yuan sighed and said: "I hope there is no life, in fact, I don't feel a pity at all, their mission ends here, and if they die, they will die." Besides, the two of them recognized my identity, and I was worried that it would be a worrying point in the future, but now that they are killed in battle, I don't have to worry about it. ”

Gongsun Lan was silent, and looked at Wang Yuan with slightly bright eyes in the dark night. Wang Yuan suddenly realized that his heart had become so tough, it seemed that he shouldn't be so indifferent to death, maybe Gongsun Lan would have an opinion about himself, so he hurriedly said: "Cousin won't think I'm too selfish." ”

Gongsun Lan shook her head slowly and said, "No, I'm just surprised that you have reached this point so quickly." When you were about to enter the big dye vat of the imperial court, I was worried that you would be carnivorous and there would be no bones left. But now, I don't think I need to worry about you. You are the one who eats other people's flesh and sleeps on other people's skins. ”

Wang Yuan was startled, and smacked his lips: "Cousin, this doesn't seem to be complimenting me." ”

Gongsun Lan sighed: "Of course it's not a compliment, but it's not a blame, it's all involuntarily." ”

Wang Yuan nodded and said, "Exactly, I can't help myself." I can only be selfish, I can only care about protecting the people close to me, and the life and death of others will naturally not be ignored when I can protect them, but if the safety of me and those around me is involved, I can only be a flesh-eater. ”

Gongsun Lan nodded slightly, sighed and slowly leaned her head on Wang Yuan's shoulder and said nothing, Wang Yuan reached out to wrap his arms around her waist, and said softly: "Now it seems that there is one thing that can be celebrated, that is, Yang Shenjin is not able to send additional guards, that is to say, tonight's news has not been leaked." ”

Gongsun Lan was just about to agree, but suddenly heard the hurried footsteps in the courtyard, and Wang Dahei's strange voice came quickly: "Master, Yang Shangshu brought someone to see you, what should I do?" ”

Wang Yuan was startled, looked at Gongsun Lan and said in a low voice, "Could it be that the Xingshi is here to ask for the guilt?" ”

Gongsun Lan shook her head and whispered, "Unless he leaked the news, he shouldn't come to you." You don't need to know what is going on in the city. ”

Wang Yuan frowned and said, "No matter, let's talk about it first." ”

Gongsun Lan nodded and said, "I will protect you secretly, and once there is a change, I will kill him first." ”

Wang Yuan nodded, got up and opened the door, Wang Dahei stood in the dark and only showed a mouthful of white teeth, his whole body was hidden, and he almost missed Wang Yuan. Wang Yuan scolded, beat his waist and opened his mouth, pretending to be sleepy-eyed and came to the front hall, but saw that Yang Shenjin was pacing back and forth like a monster in a cage in the front hall.

"Yang Shangshu, it's so late, why are you here?" Wang Yuan snorted and slurred his mouth where he could see the pituitary gland in his throat.

Yang Shenjin stopped and turned his face, looked at Wang Yuan with his eyes like electricity, his eyes were full of probing, and said in a deep voice: "Deputy Envoy Wang doesn't know about tonight's events?" ”

Wang Yuan frowned and said, "What's the matter?" Yang Shangshu, you don't have to be like this, although you and I may be a little mustard, but you don't have to break into my pavilion twice a day, and you won't even let me sleep. ”

Yang Shenjin said coldly: "You really don't know? ”

Wang Yuan smacked his lips and said: "Yang Shangshu loves to sell Guanzi, although he sells Guanzi, I have no time to accompany him, I am thirsty and sleepy for a day, Yang Shangshu wants to say it, if you don't want to say it, please take care of yourself." ”

Yang Shenjin said coldly: "Deputy Envoy Wang, the place where I was holding Li Yong's family was attacked by unknown people not long ago, and the Li family's family was rescued. Are you still in the mood to sleep? ”

Wang Yuan was stunned and said, "What's the matter?" The Li family was rescued? ”

"Exactly, a group of unknown gangsters broke into the detention center, killed more than 20 of my guards, and rescued Li Yong's family. This matter must be a secret plot by someone, who dares to be so bold and dare to act so recklessly in Beihai City. Today, I broke into our county government during the day, and rescued the prisoner's family at night. Deputy Envoy Wang, are you still in the mood to sleep? ”

Wang Yuan smacked his tongue and said: "It is indeed bold, then quickly send someone to search, the city gate is closed, where can they flee?" Wings can't be done? ”

Yang Shenjin sneered: "It's still a fart, someone saw them go out of the city from the West City Gate, I went to ask the regimental training soldiers and horses at the West City Gate, what do you guess Liu Dehai said?" ”

"How?" Wang Yuan asked with a wink.

"He said that there was no such thing, and ordered the city gates to be closed and searched in the city, and even my men were not allowed to leave the city. Deputy Envoy Wang, now it seems that there are no good people in this Beihai City, if you and I don't unite sincerely, I'm afraid it will be difficult to leave this Beihai City. ”

Wang Yuan scratched his head and said: "Yang Shangshu Mo said this, how dare Liu Dehai do this?" I'm afraid the news is really inaccurate. Liu Dehai was so bold that he didn't dare to let the prisoner's family go out of the city, and you and I didn't see it with our own eyes, so we can't blindly buckle our hats just by hearsay. Besides, even if there is such a thing, we can't make a big splash, this is Beihai City, it is people's territory, and it is difficult for a strong dragon to fight a local snake. ”

Yang Shenjin slammed his fist on the table and said: "There is no evidence for this matter, but I am eyeing this Liu Dehai, I will keep an eye on him after returning to Beijing, as long as he has the slightest handle in my hands, I will ask him to taste it." ”

Wang Yuan felt a chill in his heart, Yang Shenjin seemed to be really suspicious of Liu Dehai, but fortunately, he had no evidence at present, and it was still a little difficult to move Liu Dehai. However, Yang Shenjin is very dangerous, if it is possible, he will be the first to get rid of this person, so as not to make trouble for Liu Dehai and harm him.

"That's it, don't mention it, the current situation is that Li Yong must not be allowed to know that his family has escaped, that will ruin the investigation of the case. I came to you to ask you to unify your voice with me in the hall tomorrow, and this matter cannot be said to be leaked to let Li Yong know. In the evening, Pei Dunfu had already arrived in escort, and after the trial was completed early tomorrow morning, we would like to escort the prisoner back to Beijing early the day after tomorrow. When I got to the capital, I went back and slowly cleaned up these guys. ”

Wang Yuan suddenly realized that Yang Shenjin was here to ask him not to spoil his affairs tomorrow, he wanted to hide it from Li Yong, continue to use Li Yong's family as a threat, and let Li Yong open his mouth to bite Du Youlin. didn't really suspect that he was behind the rescue of Li Yong's family.

"Needless to say? Naturally, I kept silent, I don't want to stay in Beihai City for a day, I also want to go back to the capital as soon as possible, let's work hard tomorrow and leave after the trial. Wang Yuan agreed.

Yang Shenjin was obviously relieved, nodded and said, "That's it, I won't disturb you to sleep, I'll see you in the county hall early tomorrow morning." ”

Wang Yuan arched his hand and said: "Don't send it, don't send it." Seeing Yang Shenjin leave with someone like a gust of wind.
