Chapter 584: Defending as Attacking (4)
Mandarin Duck Lane, the fierce battle is still continuing, of course, it is nearing the end - even if the masters of the Eight Masters side are desperately resisting, and they have the advantage of geographical advantages, but after all, the difference in numbers between them is too great, and the personal force is not superior, how can it withstand the strong attack of the "sharp knife" masters wave after wave, the circular defensive array has only lasted for more than a cup of tea and has been broken, and after the single is settled, it is even more unlikely to be the opponent of the "sharp knife" masters with many people. Except for Zheng Mingrui, who was still fighting fiercely with Ding Yan, the other masters on the Eighth Master's side had become the wandering spirits under the sword.
"Hahaha......, you're done, don't even think about escaping, hahaha......"
As a master of hidden weapons, it is the basic skill to see all directions and ears to hear the six roads, at this point, Zheng Mingrui is naturally a leader, even in the fierce battle with Ding Yan, he did not forget to observe the surrounding dynamics with the corner of his eye, and when he saw that his subordinates were all dead, Zheng Mingrui's heart was already empty, and he was trying to find a gap to slip away, but suddenly found that there were waves of soldiers surging at both ends of the alley, and he was overjoyed, and he completely forgot that he was already in a lonely predicament. He laughed to himself.
"Hehe......"
Facing Zheng Mingrui's madness, Ding Yan didn't bother to answer at all, just sneered a few times, but his subordinates were not slow at all, their hands were raised, and all kinds of hidden weapons were still splashing out, taking advantage of Zheng Mingrui's distraction, he unceremoniously suppressed it.
"A certain is incorruptible ......"
Zheng Mingrui was obviously happy too early, those surging soldiers did not enter the battlefield, and stopped a little deeper into the alley for a distance, set up a formation, and sealed all the ends of the alley, as soon as he saw this, Zheng Mingrui panicked, and there was no side, just because the performance of these two groups of sergeants was not the same thing as the predetermined plan, and at this time Zheng Mingrui was completely suppressed by Ding Yan, only the ability to dodge and parry, and there was no power to fight back, and he was in a hurry, so he couldn't take care of it so much, When you open your mouth, you have to report to your home.
"Kill!"
Before Zheng Mingrui finished shouting, he heard a sudden loud shout on the courtyard wall behind him, and at the same time, a snow-bright and incomparable sword light fell from the sky like a match, and the momentum was like a rainbow, instantly locking Zheng Mingrui's figure.
"Ah......h
This sudden sword light is too fast, and it is too sharp, Zheng Mingrui, who has been blocked by Ding Yan to dodge the line, has no time to make the slightest block and dodge, although he desperately moved his body, but he still can't avoid being slashed by the knife light, but seeing that the knife light only flashed, it had already been split from Zheng Mingrui's left shoulder, deeply embedded in his chest, poor Zheng Mingrui only had time to let out a short howl, the burly body was already stiff, and then fell to the ground softly, and his hands and feet twitched a few times, That's it.
"Withdraw!"
Zheng Mingrui is undoubtedly the top master in the rivers and lakes, even in the fierce battle of Ding Yan, it is by no means easy to fight him, there are not many people in the world who can do this, but Cao Yanshan has achieved a one-hit kill, this is undoubtedly something worth exciting, but Cao Yanshan has no time to get excited, but after seeing that he killed Zheng Mingrui with a knife, he didn't care to check Zheng Mingrui's body, he waved his hand, shouted, and led his troops to run towards the south end of the alley.
"You strong men help our department to quell the chaos, it is a great righteousness, but you are willing to leave your name, and the general will also ask for credit for you."
As soon as Chen Shanhe, the guard of the Dongbian Gate who was standing in front of the army, saw Cao Yanshan and others rushing over, he hurriedly rode his horse to meet him, and he bowed his hand very politely and greeted him.
"No need, the White Lotus Sect thief, everyone will be punished, I can't wait to follow the sky, and ask the general to make a way."
It's all a pre-set play, and it's naturally not difficult to act, although Cao Yanshan's acting skills are just mediocre, but there will never be anything bad, and some impassioned words will come out, and the image of the righteous man in the rivers and lakes has been successfully shaped.
"You strong men and nobles, I will admire! The armies obey the order and give way! ”
Although the play is simple, as long as there is an explanation, Chen Shanhe got an excuse to deal with this matter, it is impossible to embarrass Cao Yanshan, with a wave of his hand, he has already given a loud order, and even when he saw that the neatly arranged soldiers of the city defense battalion were already left and right, he gave way to a passage......
"Bring Zhang Wang and Li Chen to the court!"
Two flowers bloomed, one for each, not to mention how Chen Shanhe at the end of Mandarin Duck Lane dealt with the endgame, but said that above the lobby of the prison of the Criminal Department, Hongqing suppressed the attempt of the eighth master to cover the coffin in a few words, and then, without caring about the expressions of all the people in the hall, he reached out and took out an iron skewer from the holder, slammed it on the ground, and his voice broke off coldly.
"Wow!"
Hearing Hongqing's order, the guards standing under the hall did not dare to slack off, and they all responded to the promise, and four of their own guards hurriedly walked out of the hall.
"Get on your knees!"
After the four palace guards escorted the two prison women to the hall, they each kicked them to the ground without mercy, and immediately caused the two prison women to cry out in pain.
"Who is kneeling in the hall?"
Hongqing ignored the miserable howls of the two inmates at all, grabbed the startling wood and slapped it hard, and his voice broke off coldly.
"The little Zhang Wang (Li Chen) knocks on the prince."
Hongqing's body was full of evil energy, and under such a stoppage, the two newly escorted prison women were all shocked like chaff, and they all trembled and kowtowed, and reported to their homes tremblingly.
"Well, around the time of November 22 in the fifty-second year of Kangxi, where are you and the others, and what are you doing, say!"
Hongqing didn't waste time checking the identities of the two, but went straight to the point.
"Back to the prince's words, the younger two are the mothers of the A-character female prison, and they are on duty at the right time, and there is nothing special, that is, they patrol all over the prison as usual."
As soon as they heard Hongqing's question, the two prison women quickly looked at each other, and then Zhang Wang came forward to answer.
"You're always together, huh?"
Hongqing nodded, and did not question Zhang Wang's answer, but quietly asked a question.
"Lord Mingjian, the younger two have indeed been together during that time."
After tilting his head and thinking about it, Zhang Wang gave a positive answer, although Li Chen, who was kneeling beside him, did not speak, but even nodded his head to express the same meaning.
"Well, Yan Lu's confession that he met Er and others when he was sending Lin Wang's family back to the prison cell, is it true?"
Perhaps because Zhang Wang's answer was quite sincere, Hongqing's tense face had gradually eased, and the voice of the question was much calmer.
"That's true."
As soon as Hongqing asked this question, although Zhang Wangshi still answered quickly, the twitching corners of his mouth obviously revealed the panic in his heart.
"Where did you meet the Yan Lu Clan?"
Zhang Wang's panicked look was really too obvious, and Hongqing would not be unable to see it, but he didn't pay attention to it, but raised his eyebrows, and then asked again.
"In front of the interrogation room."
Just as Zhang Wang's mouth opened to answer, Li Chen, who had always been silent, suddenly interjected from the side.
"Zhang Wang, is what Li Chen said true, huh?"
As soon as she heard Li Chen's answer, Zhang Wang's was obviously confused, but before she could come back to her senses, Hongqing had already picked up the startling wood and slapped it hard, and then broke off her throat.
"Ah, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, so."
Zhang Wang's family was panicked, and then he was so frightened by Hongqing, the three souls fell out, and he didn't dare to be perfunctory anymore, so he stammered and recognized it, she didn't know it tightly, and Yan Lu's face on the side kneeling was instantly white, and he suddenly raised his head, looked at the tenth master in a panic, and opened his mouth as if he wanted to speak, but he was glared at by the tenth master, but he withered on the spot, lowered his head in a hurry, and didn't dare to have any presumptuous behavior.
"Well, how long have you been outside the interrogation room, and you have heard something, saying!"
Hongqing didn't pay attention to the eyebrows of Yan Lu and the Tenth Master, and said in an unhurried official tone, and asked again with an indifferent expression.
"Back to the prince's words, the little ones heard the screams from the interrogation room, and then they went there, and they stayed for about half a pillar of incense before they saw Yan Lu's helping Lin Wang to come out of the inside, and the little ones were ...... at that time."
As soon as Hongqing's voice fell, Li Chen had already rushed to open his mouth, and he described the situation quickly and urgently.
"Nonsense, you are spewing blood, Wang Ye Mingjian, this cheap embryo is talking nonsense at will, and rumors are ......"
Before Li Chen finished speaking, Yan Lu was already screaming and scolding in a panic, and couldn't help but shout endlessly, and pounced on Li Chen fiercely, scratching and grasping with both hands, and Li Chen was unwilling to be humiliated, and also fought back, and the two women scuffled together in the court.
"Presumptuous, come on, set them up!"
Hongqing obviously didn't expect such a change in things, first stunned, followed by a burst of anger, grabbed the startled wood and slapped it hard, and drank in annoyance.
"Wow!"
As soon as they heard Hongqing's order, the dumbfounded officials of the Ministry of Industry in the hall reacted, and they all responded to the promise, rushed forward in a swarm, and set up the two women who were twisted into a ball with their hands and feet, but they couldn't stop the screams of the two women scolding each other, and the whole public hall was suddenly a big mess......
