Zhao Yi and the nine brothers played frantically for three days, except for Zhao Yu who was called by Zhao He every evening, the rest of the time was noisy together, but such days were broken on the fourth day.

Pingzhou Thorn History Mansion

"Are you here?" A group of strong men dressed in black came to the door of the Assassin's Mansion and asked.

"Who are you? Lord Thorn is out! Several guards at the door saw that the person was coming and replied politely.

"Who are we? We are from the capital. After the leader of the man in black finished speaking, he went straight to the Assassin's Mansion and entered.

"Wait, you can't just go in." Several of the guards spoke quickly, as they prepared to draw their swords.

"Well, look at this!" A man in black took out an arrow and swung it at the eyes of several guards.

"Youzhou Xuanfu Envoy Order!"

Twenty or thirty people swept into the Assassin's Mansion, and the Assassin's Mansion was immediately alarmed.

"I don't know who it is? What's the matter with us, Lord Assassin! An adjutant of the Assassin's Mansion asked the man in black sitting in the hall.

"You don't care who I am, you immediately send someone to call your Thorn Shi and Pingzhou Lieutenant over, you tell them, we are from Youzhou, let them do their best to rush over to me, otherwise it will ......" The black-clothed leader sat on the seat of the original Thorn Shi and said softly.

"Okay, a few adults, later, the lower officials will send someone to invite." The adjutant of the Assassin's Mansion turned his head and went out and shouted not far away: "Where are the people, where are they all dead, hurry up and serve tea!" ”

After the adjutant finished shouting, he walked to the back house and said to the cronies of the assassin not far away: "Steward Xu, you now take a few guards to find Lord Assassin Shi, just say that there is a messenger from Youzhou here, let them hurry back, in addition, you say to Lord Assassin Shi, these people are not ordinary, I will take people to the Governor's Mansion to find Lord Commander." ”

The county magistrate, who was exchanging "experiences" in the Quande Building, was in the Quande Building, and when he heard the housekeeper's report, he was immediately furious: "What, let me go to see them?" Youzhou Xuanfu's arrow, what did his people do when they came to me? You go and reply to them, and they say I don't see me! ”

Steward Xu hurriedly said: "But my lord, Master Xue Sima said that these people are extraordinary, let's meet them." ”

"Xue Ping said that they are not ordinary? Let's see it, although this Xue Ping was assigned from above, and his work is not in tune with us, he still has a hand in knowing people. ”

Pingzhou Thorn Shi sat in an official sedan chair and rushed to the Thorn Shi Mansion.

"Your Excellency, Lord Lieutenant is right ahead." The official sedan chair outside the sedan said.

"Follow him and lean in with him."

"Lord Su! Do you know who called us here? The Governor of Pingzhou asked in his sedan chair.

When the assassin who was parallel to the sedan chair of the Duwei heard this, he frowned: "Duwei He was also invited?" ”

"What, your housekeeper didn't say it?"

"As soon as I heard that someone was coming from above, I rushed back immediately, so I didn't have time to listen to the butler." Thorn Shi said this, but he cursed in the sedan chair: "Damn butler, he didn't tell me such important information." Du Wei is not under the jurisdiction of the Xuanfu Envoy, he is the person of the Governor of Youzhou, which bastard can control the people of the two camps? . ”

The two of them were silent all the way, not knowing what they were thinking.

"My lord, the Thorn Mansion has arrived." The soldiers outside the sedan interrupted the two of them's thoughts.

The two glanced at each other, straightened out the official mansion, and hurried to the mansion, but as soon as the two entered the gate, they saw several black-clothed people standing at the door of the hall of the middle courtyard.

"Xiaguan Pingzhou Assassin Shi Su Hu, (Du Wei) He Zhang has seen all of you!"

"Two adults, please be seated." The black-clothed leader, who was now sitting in the original seat of Pingzhou Thorn History, said with a smile. On both sides of this person, under the hall, and outside the hall, there are big men holding a long knife at his waist, a black coat and a red cloak, and standing still.

Pingzhou Thorn Shi and Du Wei showed slight beads of sweat on their foreheads, and they sat on both sides tremblingly.

"The two adults were called by me, so they won't blame me."

"The lower officials don't dare, the lower officials don't dare." The two of them got up and said quickly. Since the first time I saw the man in black at the door, I knew the origin of the other party, especially the red wolf head embroidered on the other party's belt and the red wolf head waist tag hanging on the waist.

This waist card is only used by the yamen, that is, the Ti Cai Division, which symbolizes the minions of the Son of Heaven, and the Ti Cai Si inspects hundreds of officials, and no yamen can stop any yamen, and has the right to arrest any yamen, and those who dare to resist, regardless of the size of the official position, have the right to kill on the spot.

Although they do not have the right to try cases, Su Hu and He Zhang believe that as long as the other party is willing, they can arrest themselves at any time, and as for the evidence of their own crimes, both of them know that there are too many to count. If these people are unhappy, they will be finished, He Zhang, as an army system, is slightly better, but it is definitely not much better.

"Okay, two adults, please sit down, I am Qian Wei, the commander of Youzhou, I came this time to ask the two adults to assist, I don't know what the two adults think." ，

When Su Hu and He Zhang heard that they were not here to trouble themselves, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly agreed: "Xiaguan is naturally very happy, I don't know what Lord Qian needs us to do?" ”

Lord Qian took a sip of the teacup and said with a smile: "We learned that there are several grassland crops in Pingzhou, and they have betrayed Youzhou to give land information many times, so the above ordered to dispose of these guys, because I have few people, I need the assistance of two adults when I act, especially Lord Duwei, I need your subordinate soldiers to come to assist." As for Lord Su, the people we are going to deal with this time all have family members and dead soldiers, and the movement must be not small when we act, so as to appease the people and prevent anyone from taking advantage of the chaos. ”

Su Hu agreed with a sip of wine, but He Zhang was a little hesitant.

"What, Lord He is in trouble? Still unwilling to assist us in the case? Qian Wei raised the corners of his eyebrows and said without a look.

He Zhang hurriedly replied: "It's not that the lower officials don't assist, and it's not that they don't want to help, it's just that according to the regulations, the Governor's Mansion can't move troops and horses in the city at will, in case of ......."

Originally, when the Ti Cavalry Division was established, the Ti Cai Division could inspect hundreds of officials, but there was no need to play, no matter how big or small the officials were, they could be arrested directly. However, the right to hear cases was not delegated to them, and the prisoners arrested by the Tiqi Division still needed to be dealt with by the Criminal Department, Dali Temple and other yamen, so although the power was great, it was still under control. Since Ti Qisi followed Zuo Xiang, he did misdeeds, to frame and frame, and eradicate dissidents, Zuo Xiang colluded with the Criminal Department and Dali Temple to frame many ministers who did not go along with it. But there is another party opposite the left, and that is the Qi Wang Party.

This time it seems to be to exterminate the steppe Turks, Wei Room and Yan Ya, but who knows if the Ti Qi Division will eradicate dissidents and do some shady deeds, in case the Qi Wang Party wants to rectify itself in the future, and play the same with himself. He is not like Su Hu, and Su Hu will appease the people this time, and it can be said that he does not know about it in the future. Besides, Su Hu is also a small person in the Left Prime Minister's Party, but he is nothing.

"Lord He, don't worry, I have a warrant from Lord Zuo Xiang here, so that officials from all over Youzhou can assist us in inspecting the meticulous work of all ethnic groups in the grassland." As he spoke, he handed He Zhang a handwritten letter.

"Since there is a handwritten letter from the left minister and an order from the Ministry of War, I will assist the adults to eradicate the various groups of detailed work, and I don't know when to do it."

"Act at the right time tonight, as for the purpose, let's talk about it then, let your people be ready, and act at the right time."

In the evening, when the Assassin Mansion was operating, the Zhao Mansion also began to act.

"You'er, you call all your brothers here, be careful, don't make too much noise."

"Well, knowing my father, I'll go and call them over."

Seeing Zhao Yi leaving, Zhao He returned to the bedroom, looked at Mrs. Xu who had changed into his wife's clothes and Mrs. Xu in a black samurai costume, and hurriedly said: "It's okay, leave immediately, our house and outside are being watched to death." ”

"Okay, Mrs. Xu and I have changed clothes, jewelry, and some daily utensils......" Mrs. Zhao replied with a crying voice.

"Okay madam, let's go when you're ready, it's too late." Zhao He pulled the lady who was still about to speak, and urged eagerly.

"Father"

"Godfather"

"Okay, Zhao Yu will stay first, and the rest will come with me." After Zhao He finished speaking, he took his wife to the fifth courtyard, and in the living room, everyone had a good meal and waited quietly.

It was getting dark, and it was hard to see people outside.

"Let's go!"

When he came to the pond in the middle of the courtyard, Zhao He handed each person a two-foot bamboo pipe, which was connected by ropes.

"You can use it, I've taught you before, and now, each of you tie two small stone bags to your legs and tie them tightly! Go into the water with me, move slowly, don't make too much noise. ”

"Father, what are we doing here?" Zhao Yi couldn't help but ask.

"Xi'er, I'll explain later, follow me first." Zhao He tied the stone bag and took the lead in the water.

Because everyone was connected, they all slowly went into the water, Zhao He was the leader, Mrs. Zhao was second, and Zhao Yi was three. The crowd joined together and walked slowly forward, holding the bamboo pipe in their mouths with their hands. Breathing underwater with a bamboo tube, Zhao Yi and the others have been practicing for several months, and they are very familiar with it.

The pond of Zhao's mansion is connected with the river not far from the mansion, the water depth is close to two meters, and at this distance of 200 meters, Zhao Xian and several people walked for half an hour, and Zhao Xian also understood why there was nothing in the pond, it was originally to facilitate the waterway. In the river, a few people could even see the sporadic fires on the surface of the water and faint figures walking by.

When he arrived at the small river that passed through the city, Zhao He did not stop, but held his breath next to the river embankment and walked forward for a while, came to the arch bridge in front of him, and got into a small stone cave on the side of the river embankment that seemed to have collapsed.

"Huhuhu......" Because of the depth of the river, everyone could not breathe with a bamboo tube, so they had to hold their breath and walk for a while, and drilled into this small hole, which turned out to be a long tunnel before they went far. In the dark stone passage, only the eyes shone with a faint light.

"Okay, it's okay to get here, you guys go forward by yourself, there is someone in front of you to pick you up." Zhao He took a break and said. Then he said to his wife: "Take good care of Xi'er!" You already know the method in the past, go early, it's easy to get sick if you wear cold wet clothes for a long time. ”

"Got it......" said and couldn't help crying.

Zhao Yi finally understood this time that he was fleeing.

"Father, what the hell is going on?"

"Good boy, your mother will sue you about this in the future, remember to protect yourself." After Zhao He finished speaking, his eyes turned red, and he turned his head and dived into the water again.

"Father!" Zhao Yi looked at the pitch black in front of him, only the slight sound of water waves, shouted in a low voice, and slowly knelt on the ground.
