Back at the county office, Yang Xiaoyu directly waved his hand to let the riders go down to rest, and he came to the guest room in the backyard of the county government to rest.

In the middle of the night.

Yang Xiaoyu put on his armor, tied his cloak, summoned Cao Tai to whisper a few words, and then picked up the embroidered spring knife and walked out of the door of the room and came to the county hall.

In the lobby.

Ye Maocai, the county magistrate, was wearing an official uniform, his head drooped down, and his face was drowsy.

Cao Tai led a hundred households and two general flags to stand below, waiting for Yang Xiaoyu to give an order.

Yang Xiaoyu sat high in the hall of the county government and said in a deep voice: "Ye County Ling leads the way and goes to the best Chunlou Chu Pavilion in the city!" ”

"My lord, if you want to go to that kind of place, the lower official will send someone to pick you up immediately, why don't you take it personally!" Ye Maocai didn't think much about it, thinking that Yang Xiaoyu needed Ge Ge. The prostitute came to accompany him, so he said with a smile.

Yang Xiaoyu frowned coldly, and said coldly: "Xu Hongru is likely to hide in the Spring Tower, let the officials go in to search, and the official will take Tiqi to ambush outside, as long as Xu Hongru escapes, he can be captured!" ”

"The subordinate obeys!" When Ye Mao heard this, he knew that he had lost his words, and hurriedly gave up.

Yang Xiaoyu was not in the mood to deal with this kind of person, so he immediately waved his hand and asked them to go down and prepare.

Not a little time.

Ye Maocai summoned the Qi officials, Yang Xiaoyu glanced at these crooked dates, waved his hand, and led everyone out of the county government to the first spring. upstairs and gone.

There are officials who are familiar with the terrain to lead the way.

The group climbed several streets and came to a brightly lit spring house. Floor.

Yang Xiaoyu took Tiqi to ambush outside the Spring Tower, and sent officials to investigate, all men in the prime of life were arrested, and each room should be searched together, and half of it should not be exposed.

The officials were all locals. Search Spring. The building does not cause panic.

and more than 20 officials poured into the spring. Behind the building, Yang Xiaoyu waved his hand to let the riders hide their bodies, and he took Ye Maocong and dozens of others to hide in the dark alley.

The streets are quiet, the stars in the night sky are flickering, and the summer breeze blows, and it is refreshing.

The lively and noisy Spring Building has been in for a long time since it went in. The exclamations immediately became noisy, the screams of women, the anger of men, and the brightly lit spring building.

In a moment!

A strong man was escorted out by the officials, most of whom were wearing obscene clothes and trousers, some were shirtless, and had only half a disgrace garment on their bodies.

The place where Yang Xiaoyu was hiding was the back door of the Spring Tower, and under his gaze, three men jumped down from the upper floor and fell to the bluestone ground.

"Catch the thief!"

Yang Xiaoyu shouted that the sky was open. Then he stood up and shouted.

The hidden rider roared like a beast in the darkness, wielding the rusty spring knife in his hand and approaching the three men.

"Kill!"

The three men stood together with their backs to their backs, holding long swords, looking at the surrounding Ti Cai, and the three of them exerted their strength at the same time, covering the opposite Ti Cai.

The horsemen had already prepared, and the embroidered spring knife was unsheathed, and it was a joint blow to the man who rushed towards him. When the three men who hit him were powerless to fight back, they gave up.

Yang Xiaoyu chuckled and walked up to look. Looking at the three frail men, the man on the left is in his forties, with big shoulders and a round waist, and he is a character who is not easy to mess with at first glance, and the man on the right has sharp eyes and a cold face. It's also a character who can't be messed with.

The man in the middle was about forty years old, with a seven-foot-tall body, thick eyebrows and big eyes, a dark face, and a beard on his chin. It looks like a farmer, but when you look closely, it's slightly different.

Yang Xiaoyu looked at the middle-aged man and said with a smile: "Sect Master Xu ran thousands of miles, and Yang chased him from Shandong to Jiangnan, and slept all the way, couldn't eat, and was dusty, but Yang was lucky, and finally found Sect Master Xu." ”

"Humph!"

Xu Hongru knew that his identity had been exposed, so he simply stopped hiding it, and sneered: "The dog nose of the imperial court eagle dog is quite smart, Xu has admitted it!" After speaking, he turned his head with a cold face, and his eyes were full of anger.

"It's a pity that someone like you can be the leader of the White Lotus Sect!"

Yang Xiaoyu sneered disdainfully: "Less than a year after becoming the leader of the White Lotus Sect, he made a big move, causing a miasma of smoke in Shandong and other places, and the people were panicked, and they dared to shamelessly call themselves emperors, do you know how to write the word shame?" ”

"Haha!"

Xu Hongru laughed loudly and said: "The tyranny is unpopular, Xu is a crusade against the sky, he only hates the sky and does not help him, but helps the tyrant!" ”

Yang Xiaoyu smiled coldly, the plan is in the people, the success is in the sky, Xu Hongru put the blame for the defeat on the heavens, it can be seen that this person is shallow and unprescient, and he will only shirk the responsibility after failure.

This kind of person can only be a sensation for a while, but it can't be a sensation for a lifetime.

"Sect Master Xu, shut your stinky mouth, otherwise, this official doesn't mind letting you be a ghost!"

Yang Xiaoyu was lazy to deal with this kind of person, and waved his hand to let the riders escort Xu Hongru and the three of them to the county office.

Back at Yamen, Yang Xiaoyu sent Xu Hongru and the three of them to the prison, and Cao Tai led a hundred guards to guard them strictly.

The White Lotus Sect is demagogic, the plot is wrong, and the wolf's ambition is clearly revealed, this time he caught the White Lotus Sect leader Xu Hongru, and he will not easily escort him back to the capital.

As the leader of the White Lotus Sect, Xu Hongru's disciples are all over the state capitals of the world, and if he rashly escorts Xu Hongru to Beijing, he will definitely be robbed by the White Lotus disciples from all over the country along the way.

And there are only 300 horsemen around him, whether they are walking by land or water, the troops are too short, and once they encounter an ambush, it is easy to annihilate the whole army.

Therefore, Yang Xiaoyu sent secret letters to the Jinyi Guards in Yangzhou and Hangzhou overnight, as well as the Jinyi Guards in various major roads, ordering the thousands of households in various places to secretly gather soldiers and horses and rush to Suzhou Mansion.

At the same time, Yang Xiaoyu sent someone to interrogate Xu Hongru overnight, and wanted to torture him about the whereabouts of the White Lotus Sect in various parts of the world.

Xu Hongru was also a person who had been the emperor of January, and even if he was punished, he only used ordinary criminal law, and did not use Jinyiwei's torture.

Yang Xiaoyu knew that he wanted to ask something from Xu Hongru's mouth, but the chance was slim, but he was still willing to give it a try.

Cao Tai was good at torture, and he followed Yang Xiaoyu's instructions and did not torture Xu Hongru, but only used ordinary criminal laws such as leather whips, tiger chairs, and chili pepper water.

Xu Hongru had a bit of backbone, he was tossed back and forth by Cao Tai all night, the flesh and blood on his chest were blurred by the whip, his nose and mouth were like red clouds, his legs trembled uncontrollably, and he was extremely embarrassed, but he also held on not to speak.

After a night of tossing, Cao Tai seemed to be a little tired, and ordered his subordinates to take Xu Hongru back to rest.

Then, the horsemen brought up the two men beside Xu Hongru.

Treating these two people, Ti Qi was not as 'gentle' as he was to Xu Hongru, and he was tortured together, and the two who were beaten straight were not as good as death, and fainted several times.

After dawn.

Yang Xiaoyu went to the cell to take a look at Xu Hongru and the others, the cell was filled with the smell of blood and mold, and his nose was uncomfortable.

After seeing the miserable appearance of Xu Hongru and the others, Yang Xiaoyu shook his head and walked out of prison. (To be continued......)
