Chapter 76 The Old Man
The cell leader's face was very ugly, and he didn't speak, but just looked at the white belted man, who had a pair of viper-like eyes that were also staring at Chu Huan's face, he held a big knife in his hand, he didn't speak for a long time, and suddenly made a gesture, and the people who were originally scattered around suddenly cautiously approached the man.
Chu Huan frowned, stared at the man, and asked coldly, "Who are you?" ”
The man's eyes flashed a hint of discoloration, and he didn't speak, but just waved his hand, and the people under him immediately got on their horses, Chu Huan bent his bow and arrows, and pointed at the man, and said sharply: "A fire, burning so many people, do you still want to leave?" ”
The man made a strange sound, and seemed to have no fear of Chu Huan's bow and arrow, and suddenly saw him raise his hand and smash something towards Chu Huan, he was quite far away from Chu Huan, it was a hidden weapon, Chu Huan was also completely fearless, when the man smashed something, the arrow in Chu Huan's hand also shot out without hesitation, the arrow was like a meteor, and suddenly heard a "bang" sound, there seemed to be something exploding not far in front of Chu Huan, but in an instant, a burst of smoke spread, and the smoke was billowing out, Chu Huan only then understood that the other party smashed out of the matter, It's not a hidden weapon, it's smoke.
He did not know whether the smoke was highly poisonous, so he was cautious and immediately retreated, hearing the neighing of horses and the disheveled hooves of horses, knowing that the gang was leaving.
Chu Huan's feet were like flying, bypassing the smoke, and turning around, but he saw that the group of people had already ridden away, like a gust of wind, swept away, and the sound of horses' hooves gradually faded away, and soon there was no trace.
Sun Zikong had already followed, and when he saw the gang retreating without a fight, he was surprised, but he was also relieved, Chu Huan knew that he couldn't catch up, so he immediately turned to the stone house and ran to the window, but found that the sound inside had been quiet, and the house inside was blazing, and the smell of burnt skin and flesh spread out from the inside, which was extremely unpleasant.
Chu Huan knew that there was no living mouth inside, and Sun Zikong also followed, and when he saw the tragic situation inside, he was also terrified, thinking that if Chu Huan hadn't smashed open the window and escaped from inside, the two of them would have turned into scorched earth like those people inside.
Chu Huan looked very tired, walked to the side, sat down on the ground, looked extremely solemn, groaned slightly, immediately stood up, saw that the two carriages were still parked not far away, and said in a deep voice: "Quick, let's go back to Taiyuan City." ”
He jumped on the head of the wheel, Sun Zikong immediately followed, Chu Huan sat on the head of the wheel, pulled the reins of the horse, shook the reins of the horse, and urged the horse to go, he only knew the deep woods at this time, there were few people here, obviously he had left Taiyuan City, and he didn't know where the specific location of Taiyuan City was, everything could only be said first out of the woods.
Chu Huan also understood that the other party's retreat was extremely cautious, and with the opponent's manpower, it was not impossible to fight, but they were obviously afraid of Chu Huan's skills, and they were all evacuated without the certainty of victory.
These people certainly did not expect that there would be such a powerful person in this group of prisoners, who acted insidiously and viciously, but also cautiously.
Sun Zikong sat beside Chu Huan, and when he saw Chu Huan's solemn expression, he couldn't help asking, "Master, what's going on?" Who are those people, and why are they killing us? ”
Chu Huan sneered: "It's not to kill you, but to kill me!" ”
"Kill you?"
"I wanted to take this opportunity to find the nest of these people." Chu Huan's brows furrowed, "It's just that there is a loophole here, and this is what happened." ”
"Master, you ...... I don't understand what you're saying. Sun Zikong looked dazed, "What's the loophole?" ”
"Zikong, before we arrived in Taiyuan, we saw that barren village on the way, and there is more than one such village, and many men in the prime of life are missing, you shouldn't have forgotten this?" Chu Huan drove the carriage and asked in a deep voice.
Sun Zikong frowned and said, "Could it be ...... What does that have to do with today's events? ”
"Yes!" Chu Huan said: "And it is very implicated." The Yamen of the Taiyuan Criminal Department Department referred the local death row prisoners to the Taiyuan Prison, saying that it was to mention the secrets of the Fucheng Criminal Department. Execution, that's just a cover-up, and if I'm not mistaken, those death row prisoners are now somewhere, and most of them are not being kept secret. Executed, but being used to do a big thing. ”
Sun Tzu was stunned.
"I don't know exactly what they're going to do." Chu Huan said in a deep voice: "But they definitely need a large number of manpower, and this batch of manpower must make people think that they don't exist." This is the case with the death row inmates in the prison of the Criminal Department, and it is very likely that the men who disappeared from the village were also taken somewhere, just like the death row inmates. ”
Sun Zikong was surprised: "Could it be that someone wants to gather these people to rebel?" As soon as the words came out, he felt that it was impossible, and even if someone really wanted to plot a rebellion, it would be impossible to accumulate manpower by such means.
Chu Huan directly ignored this sentence and said, "I originally wanted to follow the vine and get mixed up with their lair, but unfortunately it fell short......!" ”
"Master, you just said that there was a loophole, what kind of loophole is it?" Sun Zikong frowned and said, "Isn't that their lair?" ”
"Absolutely not." Chu Huan shook his head and said, "The woods are just a joint point for them. The men of the Criminal Department sent the prisoners here and handed them over to another group, and it is not clear what exactly they were dealing, but there must be a big problem with the Criminal Department. If the loopholes ......! Chu Huan frowned, thoughtfully, didn't speak for a long time, the carriage drove quickly, suddenly, Chu Huan raised his eyebrows, his eyes showed surprise, and he lost his voice: "I understand...... I see......! ”
"What's wrong?"
"That man...... The man with a white belt around his waist. Chu Huan's eyes were cold, "It's him, he must have recognized my ......!" ”
Sun Zikong was also taken aback, "Master, could it be that person your acquaintance?" In this Taiyuan Mansion, does anyone else know you? ”
"It's the only way." Chu Huan was very sure: "If he hadn't recognized me, such a change would never have happened." Those men from the Criminal Department were supposed to hand us over to them in the woods, but when that man arrived, he went into the house and checked it, and it was at that time that he probably recognized my ......! Chu Huan recalled the scene at that time, when the man's eyes fell on his body, he looked at it for a moment, there was no doubt that at that time, the right person had already seen that something was wrong.
Sun Zikong didn't see the scene at that time, and was a little dumbfounded.
"Looks like it's him." A sneer appeared at the corner of Chu Huan's mouth, "He recognized me, I'm afraid something went wrong, so that's why I ...... start!" Then he sighed and said, "Those prisoners all died because of me." ”
"Master, who is that person?" Sun Zikong asked, "How could he recognize you?" You guys...... Have you seen this before? ”
Chu Huan nodded: "If I hadn't seen him today, I'm afraid I would have forgotten him a long time ago." His expression was grim, and he said word by word: "His surname is Duan, and he used to be an official of the imperial court!" ”
"Imperial court officials?" Sun Zikong was shocked again, "Is it an official from Taiyuan?" ”
Chu Huan shook his head and said, "He used to be a thousand households of the Tongzhou Army, his name is Duan Xun!" "His eyes are as cold as knives," his eyes ...... Yes, it's Duan Xun, no wonder I saw those eyes before, and I had a sense of déjà vu, it turned out to be ...... It's really an old man. ”
"Since it is a thousand households of the Tongzhou Army, why did you come to Taiyuan?" Sun Tzu was puzzled: "Tongzhou is a long way from Taiyuan......!" ”
"This person fled from Tongzhou a year ago." Chu Huan said: "Zhao Guangqing, the governor of Tongzhou, is a person from Tianmen Dao, who once plotted a rebellion in Tongzhou, and then the East Window incident happened and ended up dead. But before that, Duan Xun's identity had been leaked, and Zhao Guangqing was not suspected at that time, but the target was locked on Duan Xun's body, but Duan Xun fled one step earlier, and his whereabouts are unknown, and I have not seen this person since. He smiled coldly, "I really didn't expect him to appear here." ”
"The person surnamed Zhao is a person from Tianmen Dao, and this Xun is naturally also a person from Tianmen Dao." Sun Zikong frowned and said, "Didn't Tianmen Dao rebel in the southeast?" How can Anyi Dao also have people from Tianmen Dao. ”
"These people are everywhere." Chu Huan said: "Although this time it fell short, but there was no gain, at least it has been determined that there is indeed a problem with the Criminal Department of Taiyuan Mansion, they have colluded with Tianmen Dao, and the most important thing is that it has been determined that the people of Tianmen Dao are plotting a conspiracy in Anyi Dao." ”
"So what do we do next?"
"The identity has been leaked, and there is no need to hide anymore." Chu Huan shook the reins, "Go back to Taiyuan Mansion first, what I want to see most now is Yuan Chongshang, the governor of Anyi Dao!" ”
……
……
Yuan Chongshang is over forty years old, when he is full of energy, and he has always been very kind to himself.
