Chapter 71: Murder Scheme
When the guard heard this, he was about to leave when Wen Shimao called him back, "Stare at him deadly, and report back to me immediately if there is any movement." ”
The guards retreated, Ying Guliu knew very well what they were talking about, in order to avoid embarrassment, he didn't mention it again, but Wen Shimao still felt uncomfortable, as if everyone had peeked into the deepest secrets of his heart, he clenched his fists and punched the public case: "The vertical son insulted me too much." ”
Wujiabao is a small town in the end, from south to north, from east to west, can not find a decent wine shop, the food in the barracks is rough and tasteless, Lou Erlang is not used to eating at all, every day he has to spend most of the day from the north of the town to the south of the town, there is a good noodle restaurant, selling noodles and selling wine and meat, although the taste is average, but in the end it is slightly better than the barracks,
Lou Erlang ate a big bowl of oily noodles with mutton, and burped contentedly, he took a lotus leaf and wrapped a few pieces of yellow and clear oil and sesame crispy cakes for supper, and when he was about to leave, a person in the neighboring seat suddenly shouted: "Erlang, come and drink two cups." "It was a young man in his early twenties, with a sackcloth shirt and a tanned face.
Lou Erlang reluctantly moved over, the proprietress sent a pair of bowls, chopsticks and wine utensils, and added a plate of braised beef, the young man sifted a bowl of wine for Lou Erlang, Lou Erlang drank it all, wiped his lips, and asked dissatisfiedly: "Didn't you say that you don't want to meet recently, you have to be considerate of my difficulties." The young man smiled slightly, took out a bulging cloth bag and put it on the table, making a crisp sound of "pop", needless to say that it was filled with real money.
Lou Erlang hesitated slightly, then put it into his arms like a thief, and then continued to drink and eat meat as if nothing happened, and the young man sifted a bowl of wine for him.
"We want to know whether the imperial court punished him after the fall of Longwei's camp, and whether his next move is to go north, or stay put." The young man spoke softly, but clearly,
Lou Erlang drank all the wine in front of him, picked up the crisp hemp cake wrapped in lotus leaves, and walked away.
The young man finished drinking the wine in front of him, took out a string of money and put it in the corner of the table, and was about to get up to leave, when two big thick hands suddenly pressed on his shoulders:
"Don't make a sound, come with us."
The young man's name is Lu Chun, he is a cadre agent of the Fengzhou Zuo Mansion in Yanzhou, when Wen Shimao was stationed in Yanzhou, he was ordered to plot against Lou Erlang, and obtained information from him, he was arrested by Xiao Qingyi's secret agent, who was with the army to protect the security of military intelligence, Lu Chun was taken to Xiao Qingyi's secret torture room in Wujiabao, and used a full seven sets of torture, but he still couldn't get anything useful,
Lu Chun insisted that he and Lou Erlang were just friends who had known each other for a short time, and chatted together after a chance encounter in a noodle restaurant.
At noon the next day, Lu Chun's companion asked the captain of the Wujiabao garrison to come forward to protect Lu Chun from prison.
The companion persuaded Lu Chun to open Wujiabao as soon as possible, so as not to have another accident, Lu Chun refused, and said: "They arrested me and released me, it can be seen that they did not understand my identity, they may have followed Lou Erlang to find me, last time because of the leak, the Longwei battalion was wiped out, and it is reasonable for them to send additional personnel to screen and investigate insiders, so there is no need to panic." ”
Lu Chun's episode, Lou Erlang didn't know, since the last time he betrayed to Lu Chun at a high price Mao Fulin and other front-line generals to return the information of Wujiabao secret merchants, he made up his mind to stop doing it, although the money from selling the information is fast, but the risk is not small.
Not long ago, a friend told Lou Erlang that Xiao Tsing Yi sent a large group of elite troops to operate with the army this time, specifically to prevent the infiltration of the Zuo Mansion, Xiao Tsing Yi is eating white rice, how can they allow people like themselves to stay, but when Lu Chun put two hundred taels of silver in front of him, his heart sprouted again,
"Do it one last time, and wash your hands immediately after this one."
After Lou Erlang finished eating the oil hemp hu cake, scooped up a scoop of cold water and drank two sips, and at the end he rinsed his mouth again, and dressed up, he decided to go to Yun Niang, such a core secret can only be obtained from her, Yun Niang is a smart and clever woman, but like all women who fall in love, she has been dizzy, and she is allowed to play with herself under the coaxing of her sweet words,
This kind of woman doesn't take advantage of nothing, this world is like this, people don't destroy the heavens and the earth for themselves, every time Lou Erlang thinks of this, he will let out a sneer for no reason,
When he came to the gate of Yun Niang's small courtyard, Lou Erlang faintly felt that something was wrong, today seemed to be much quieter than usual, Lou Erlang looked around, there was a pot of small orchids on the wall of the courtyard, that was a signal that Wen Shimao was not there, Lou Erlang hesitated for a long time, and finally pushed open the courtyard door, there was that pot of flowers, and the courtyard door was never locked,
The door of the house was empty, and there was a pot of small orchids under the eaves, everything was normal, Lou Erlang coughed and asked, "Is the little lady here?" "In the past, Yun Niang would have flown out like a flower butterfly and plunged into his arms, but today it is Kong Jie, a closed disciple of Wen Shixun, who is also the leader of Wen Shixun's guards.
Lou Erlang had a premonition that things were not good, so he turned around and fled, it was too late, the courtyard gate was stopped by six ironclad guards, and he wanted to escape over the earthen wall on both sides, but he saw four archers riding on each side of the earthen wall, and the bow and arrow were aimed at him.
Lou Erlang forced his composure, and squeezed out a smile and said, "General Kong, what are you doing at this time." Kong Jie sneered, made a look, the ironclad guards rushed up and threw Lou Erlang to the ground, twisted his arms and pushed him over, Lou Erlang's mouth was hard, and he still roared, and Kong Jie stepped forward to look at his left knee is kick,
In the crisp sound of "click", Lou Erlang's left leg was broken, and a large drop of sweat rolled down on his forehead, he collapsed to the ground, but he didn't dare to say anything more, the guards dragged him into the house like a dead dog, where he saw Yun Niang, who was connected to the same fate, she was pressed and knelt on the ground by two guards, with a cloth ball stuffed in her mouth,
Lou Erlang only glanced at her, Yun Niang was pulled away and forcibly pressed on the bed, and then Lou Erlang saw the most terrifying scene he had ever seen in his life.
Yun Niang faced the sky on her back, her limbs were held down by four guards, and her head was also held by one person, a dry old man with a goatee pasted the soaked hemp paper on her face one by one, Yun Niang desperately stuck out her tongue and exhaled to break the hemp paper, but to no avail, after a piece of hemp paper was damaged, more hemp paper was pasted again,
Yun Niang struggled tenaciously, unable to imagine that a weak woman had such great strength in the face of death, at one point she seemed to almost free her right hand to uncover the hemp paper on her face, but the desire to survive was quickly stifled, and finally when the tenth piece of hemp paper was pasted, Yun Niang stopped breathing, and her hands and feet hung helplessly,
The breath in the room became solemn and depressing, because of the nervousness Lou Erlang kept vomiting water, the goatee peeled off the hemp paper on Yun Niang's corpse, and then solemnly put it into a wooden box, he twisted a hot towel handle, carefully wiped the face of the corpse, after some retouching, the previous hideous and terrifying death became quiet and quiet, as if the deceased died quietly in his sleep, without any pain,
Kong Jie dragged Lou Erlang up, dragged him to the side of the bed, and asked him to carefully look at Yun Niang's face, Lou Erlang's slightest disobedience was a punch and kick, Lou Erlang's tears and snot were majestic, he collapsed to the ground, crying: "What do you want me to do." He knew very well in his heart that the reason why Kong Jie tortured Yun Niang to death in front of him, and did not kill him, must have used him to do something, otherwise his fate should be a hundred times worse for Yun Niang.
"Smart people." Kong Jie patted him on the head, "Lu Chun has agreed to cooperate with us, we want you to cooperate with him in a play, and after the matter is completed, let you go incognito and fly away." ”
This sound to Lou Erlang is simply a fantasy, he hooked up with his mother, his mother was tortured and killed, but he was able to escape with his life.
"You can not believe it, or you can choose not to cooperate with us." Kong Jie laughed grimly, "I guarantee that your death will be a hundred times more miserable than hers." ”
"What the hell do you want me to do?" Lou Erlang completely succumbed, witnessing Yun Niang's tragic death, he now has only one thought in his heart: leave here, even if it is death, he will cut himself off,
"You're a smart guy after all." Kong Jie smiled with satisfaction,
A day later, Lou Erlang came to the south of the city noodle restaurant on crutches, and asked for a bowl of beef noodles, a plate of dried bamboo shoots in salted water, and ate it with relish, the noodles were just halfway eaten, Lu Chun walked over and sat on the seat on the right side of him, looked around with alert eyes, and after confirming that there was nothing unusual, he took the opportunity to buy Hu cakes, and sat opposite Lou Erlang by the way when he came back,
"The military department came to the reprimand order, and not a single hair hurt him, he is waiting for grain and grass from Yanzhou, and he will not go north for the time being."
"That's all." Lu Chun was obviously a little dissatisfied,
"Do you think it's easy to get that?" Lou Erlang looked a little excited, "Look at my legs, he beat me in order to help you get these things." ”
"Did he doubt you?" Lu Chun was very dissatisfied with Lou Erlang's gaffe, and looked around vigilantly,
"I'm getting out of here, you're going to help me get out of here." Lou Erlang's sudden request made Lu Chun quite embarrassed, Lou Erlang was his only source of information, how could he go,
"You can't go, if you have any requests, just ask, I'll try to accommodate you."
"I don't want anything, I have to get out of here, or sooner or later he will find out and lose his life." Lou Erlang covered his face excitedly, his emotions seemed to be in danger of getting out of control at any time, which made Lu Chun quite worried, a person who was out of control of his emotions could not only not be his partner, but would also greatly threaten his own safety, he had to make a decision immediately,
"If you can get his military defense map, I can consider sending you away."
"In addition to sending me away, I also need money, at least three thousand taels of silver."
Lu Chun smiled, and said in his heart: "As long as you can get the military deployment map, don't say that three thousand taels is thirty thousand taels, I can also give it, after dealing with Lou Erlang for so long, Lu Chun recognized one thing, Wen Shimao is a clean and honest official with two sleeves, and he is extremely strict, so that in Lou Erlang's place, three thousand taels of silver seems to be an astronomical amount,
