Chapter 35: The Yang River
Chapter 35 Yang River
Nangong Shuo escaped from the underground palace quietly with Yue Jing, at this time, Jiang Jie, Ruan Aoyue, Jin Chan, Tie Qiu and others led the way by Xiao Hei, and were rushing towards the place where Yue Su was trapped When they were about to arrive, they encountered more than a dozen errand soldiers who fled here
For these errand soldiers, Jiang Jie naturally will not treat them as his own people anymore, and with an order, he sent someone to capture the errand servants on the spot, like a lost dog, seeing that Jiang Jie had a large number of people here, how could he have the intention of resisting, either kneeling and begging, or turning around and fleeing
Jiang Jie won't spend all his energy on catching these people, God knows if there are any traps When he held down a begging officer, Jiang Jie asked sharply, "Lord Yue, how are they now?" ”
"Lord Yue...... Not very clear...... But the people from the East Factory came...... There should be no danger......." said the captured officer with trepidation
The officer's look, Jiang Jie could see it clearly, with his eyesight, he could immediately tell if the other party was lying When it was concluded that what the officer said was true, Jiang Jie was a little confused, how could someone from Dongchang appear here, he immediately asked: "How can someone from Dongchang appear?" Where is Lord Yue now? What just happened? ”
"I don't know why the people from Dongchang are here...... Just here......" The officer hesitated, but did not immediately tell the truth
But just when he hesitated, a steel knife was already on his neck, "Don't grind here, dare to delay time, Lao Tzu will kill you with a knife!" "When he spoke, Jin Cicada, in addition to being anxious now, also had a belly of anger, and his voice was extremely fierce
Seeing the violent, the messenger couldn't help but shudder, where did he dare to hide it, and immediately led Yue Jinzhong into Yue Su, but the organ was recognized, Yue Su was injured and fled to another road, and then Yue Jinzhong joined the rebels to go in and kill him, and he said it as it was
After listening to his story, some soldiers arrested several errand officers one after another, Jiang Jie did not have the time to interrogate again, and saw that the errand officer was not like lying, so he asked him to lead the way immediately and go to find Yue Su In fact, even if there was no errand to lead the way, Xiao Hei could follow Yue Su's smell to find Yue Su, after all, he was also half a master, and the smell on his body was clear
The errand leads the way, Xiao Hei determines the direction, but there is nothing to determine, follow the road all the way, that is, the double fork in the road, you need to make a choice Xiao Hei and the errand choose the same road, which also proves that the errand did not lie, not a moment of effort, came to the entrance Xiao Hei kept barking, the errand also said that this is where the entrance is, but he doesn't know where the mechanism is
Jiang Jie had just seen the candlestick on the wall, and when he gave an order, someone immediately pulled it, and with a "click", the gusset was lifted
Without waiting to go down the steps, the sound of fighting inside could be heard from above, and it seemed that the people below found that the mechanism was opened, and actually ran up the steps As soon as this person came up, Jiang Jie immediately concluded that it was not his own person, because Yue Su's side was full of guards, all dressed in the same color, and the one who came up was a man in a strong suit, and it was clearly an enemy
Seeing that Dahan's face was full of panic, Jiang Jie thought about it a little, and he could be sure that what the messenger said was true, it seemed that someone from Dongchang really came to help him lift his legs, and without waiting for Dahan to stand firm, he directly kicked Dahan down, and shouted loudly: "Jin Cicada takes half of the people to guard the gate here, and the rest of the people go down with me to rescue the adults."
After speaking, he took out the black paper fan, and the first one jumped down Tie Qiu, Li Haoran, and Ruan Aoyue swarmed down, and the rest of the soldiers also rushed to the bottom, only to see that there was a mess inside, and the corpses were full of more than twenty black-robed people who killed people when they saw them, unless you surrendered on your knees, it was a dead Yue Su Standing behind accompanied by a black-robed person, beside him, there were also Yin Zhu, Li Haoquan and five guards, one of whom was also holding fifty guards in Yue Jin, and now there are only five left, And it's all wounded
Seeing Yue Su, Tie Qi immediately shouted loudly: "My lord, are you okay, we are here!" While shouting, he rushed to Yue Su's side below, kneeling and surrendering, basically all of them were guys wearing errand clothes, and those who resisted stubbornly were all strong men, but now, there were only a dozen or so strong men left, and the rest all fell to the ground Originally, since Nangong Qing was killed, the strength and weakness of the form inside reversed, even Nangong Shuo realized that it was not good, and immediately fled, who won and who lost, it is conceivable that after Nangong Shuo escaped, the traitors and messengers were even more defeated, and they were killed and retreated, Yue Jinzhong was quickly captured, When the others fled to the outermost stone chamber, they found that the mechanism had been sealed, and they had to fight to the death
However, the only ones who dared to fight to the death were the traitors of the Dragon Slaying Gang, and the servants under Yue Jinzhong, all of whom surrendered on their knees
Suddenly, the mechanism opened, and so many people poured in at once, the fans of Dongchang were startled, but fortunately, when the iron sword came up, they shouted, and immediately made the fans sure that it was not the enemy who came down, but the life-saving mechanism of Lord Yue was opened, and the reinforcements also came, and the morale of the fans was even stronger and several rebels were killed in a row
Tie Qi ran to Yue Su's side, and his happy appearance didn't need to be said, and he said with concern: "My lord, I heard that you are injured, it doesn't matter if you are injured, right?" ”
"It's okay, it's not a big deal, you guys didn't have an accident, it's good to see you again, how is the golden cicada?" Yue Su saw Li Haoran, Tie Qiu, his wife and Jiang Jie, but he didn't see Jin Cicada
"It's Mr. Jiang who is worried that he will be trapped again, so he asked Brother Jin to bring half of the soldiers and horses to guard him on it, and there is nothing to do, my lord can rest assured," Tie Qiu said
"Okay, good ......" Knowing that none of the cadres under his command had an accident, Yue Su said with relief
"Husband, ......" Ruan Aoyue now also ran to Yue Su's side, and the husband and wife met again, it can be said that it is as if the two have not had a round house in the next life, but after so many years of getting along, how can the relationship not be deep, it can even be said that Ruan Aoyue has regarded Yue Su as her husband When she was trapped, she once missed two people at the same time, but when she got out of trouble, she only cared about one person in her heart, that was Yue Su
When she came down to the underground palace for the second time, she had made a wish, that is, if Yue Su was still alive and the husband and wife could reunite, she would definitely give Yue Su a child Of course, she also made another wish, that is, once Yue Su died, she would also accompany Yue Su to die and die together, and she would be in the same bed when she died
"Snapped", Ruan Aoyue threw herself into Yue Su's arms, her tears pouring down, as if the Yellow River was overflowing, and it was difficult to clean up
"Husband...... I thought I'd never see you again in my life......"
"Madame...... It's very hard to die for my husband, how can I die like this in this world, there are still many things that need to be done for my husband, with the blessing of the first emperor and my father under Jiuquan, I will never die like this......" Yue Su said with some emotion
Yes, I had just walked around outside the Ghost Gate, and one foot had already stepped in, but fortunately, Yang He appeared at the critical moment, and it was Yang He who pulled himself out
With so many people pouring in, there is almost no place to stay in this stone room, and the sound of the fight naturally stops instantly Jiang Jie wanted to capture a few alive, but he didn't expect that these men were really strong, compared with those errand soldiers, it was simply two grades, and seeing that the general trend had gone, he simply wiped his neck together
After the battle, Yue Su ordered to take out all the treasures hidden in the stone chamber and transport them outside, and sent people to search in the underground palace to clear out the remnants of the rebels Of course, be careful when searching, don't easily get into danger He took out the letter he left behind, and asked Jiang Jie to follow the path pointed out above to find other exits to see if there could be new discoveries
After everything was explained, Yue Su looked at Yang He and said: "Lord Yang, you and I met in the Golden Palace back then, and I still remember that you were in the upper hall to confront the White Lotus Sect's rebellion, that time you were right and didn't want to meet again, you actually saved my life, Yue really doesn't know how to thank you, please accept Yue's worship"
After Yue Su finished speaking, he bowed to Yang He Ruan Aoyue hurriedly followed and saluted Yang He
Yang He was taken aback, and hurriedly knelt down to return the salute, saying: "Thousands of households in the East Factory of the Humble District, how dare you be worshiped by the adults and Mrs., it is really a villain."
"Lord Yang, get up quickly" Yue Su stretched out his hand to help Yang He up
"In front of adults, how dare the little one be called an adult, and the adult calls the villain Yang He," Yang He said with a little trepidation
Yes, Yue Su is the second assistant of the imperial court, the minister of Tuogu, the difference between the levels of the two people is 108,000 miles, Yue Su calls him an adult, that is extremely face-saving, you know, the officials who can make Yue Su call "adults" must at least be officials above the squire and the imperial history, and the rest, the names that are close to each other, the first time they meet, they will also call the official position
Yue Su also understood that the imperial court rank was placed there, so he then said as if he were calling Jin Chan: "Yang He, how did you know that this official was trapped here and could come to reinforcements in time?" How did you find this place? He finally voiced the doubts in his heart
"Back to the words of the adults, the ...... of the humble position" Yang He said this, paused for a moment, and then said: "Can the adults take a step to speak?"
Yue Su nodded and said, "Okay" After speaking, the two walked to the innermost stone room, and asked all the people carrying the treasures inside to retreat, and when they saw that all the people went out, Yang He lowered his voice and said: "It's not a secret, the humble duty was ordered to come to investigate whether the adult is shielding the evidence of the relatives who are rampant, and in the past few days, although the humble duty has not found anything, but the humble duty believes in the adult's person, and the adult will never do such things."
Over the years, Yue Su has always been strict with himself, although he has also begun to consolidate his power, but many things that violate principles, that is, he has never done to connive at relatives in the countryside to run amok lawlessly, Lord Yue will not fall to this point at all, people of such status as him, reputation is more important, and will never lose all the reputation that he has worked so hard to accumulate for this little thing Yang He of course knows this, so he can say such things, and at the same time, he also knows that the current Ming Dynasty cannot be without Lord Yue
Yue Su nodded slightly, and said, "Thank you for your belief" After speaking, Yue Su didn't say anything more, just waiting for Yang He to continue
I only heard Yang He continue: "After the lowly duty brought people to Yunmeng County, the servants here will report the news to the lowly office, the content is that the adult's family is rampant and lawless, and the lowly post continues to send people to investigate, I don't want to make a big disturbance in the city yesterday, all the personnel of the inspection yamen and the county government are dispatched, rushed to the adult's house, and after a little inquiry, I learned that the adult wants to search the ghost house during the day, and his subordinates take people to stare outside, and find that the adult does not seem to have any gain, and instead intends to act at night until the night, and the adult really sent people into the ghost house one after another, In the end, the adult even personally entered the adult after entering, the humble duty brought people to the front, as soon as he arrived, the baby's cry of the humble duty did not believe that there were ghosts in this world, it was expected that someone must be pretending to be a ghost, they pretended to be ghosts in front of the adult, so the humble duty thought, ten *** is intended to be unfavorable to the adult is the pillar of the imperial court, your safety, Dongchang will naturally not stand by, the humble post waited for a long time, and did not see the adult come out, so he had no choice but to bring someone in, secretly check is also a coincidence, When the humble duty was secretly checked, he found a person sneakily hiding in the dark to talk about stalking, let off the wind, if we Dongchang admit the second, it is estimated that no one dares to recognize the first, so it is easy to bypass, and the guy who captured this person is also a tough guy, but there is no confession in this world that I Dongchang can't ask, after a toss, he finally recruited another secret road in the courtyard and led people down the secret road, and it took a few twists and turns to find here"
Yang He said it again, he said it simply, but Yue Su understood that Yang He could lead people to find himself and save his life, it was definitely not so easy, how much work was spent, it was self-evident that as the fan of Dongchang, he came to the rescue, it was purely a human favor, and he sat back and watched it, so he called such a big favor, and he would have to repay the life-saving grace in the future" The so-called great kindness is not thanks, Brother Yang's kindness, Su remembered" Yue Su hugged his fist at Yang He this time in accordance with the etiquette of the Jianghu people
"Your Excellency is polite," Yang He also hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted
The matter is clear, Yue Su asked people to continue to carry, Jiang Jie searched below, and found out the passages one by one, including the study that Nangong Shuo had just entered, and even found that Jiang Jie told Yue Su all of his findings, and Yue Su also understood that Nangong Shuo must have escaped but this underground palace at the moment, and he must dispose of it properly, otherwise it will inevitably become a disaster again, and the property in it will be taken out by him, there are so many rare treasures here, he didn't dare to keep them, tell Yang He, the things here, 1510 on the ground to the Queen Mother, and then write down the objects here, and then the official will send someone to escort you back to Beijing, but this underground palace must not be left, so that the local preparation of explosives, the underground palace to blow up, in order to remove future troubles
Everything has just been arranged, Yue Su invited Yang He to the house for dinner, but before he could leave, suddenly a person came on a fast horse After seeing Yang He, he turned over the saddle and dismounted, shouting: "Yang Tou ......" Everyone heard the shout, and they all looked back, Yang He saw the person and said: "Xiao Cai, why are you here"
"Something happened in the city," said the person named Xiao Cai, who is naturally also a fan of Dongchang, "What's wrong?" This is Lord Jifuyue, don't hurry up and give a salute," Yang He said
"Villain Cai Yong knocked on Lord Yue" Cai Yong hurriedly knelt on one knee and fell to the ground on one knee, waiting for Yue Su to let him get up before he stood up, but he didn't say anything, just looked at Yang He as if he was going to talk about this matter, and it was inconvenient to talk to outsiders
Yang He smiled slightly and said, "What happened in the city?" Lord Yue is the second assistant of the imperial court, and he is a local landlord, so if something happens here, he naturally has the right to know."
This is to give Yue Su a lot of face, after all, no matter how big your Yue Su official is, the Dongchang is also a secret agency, and the Dongchang investigation is responsible for the affairs of the admiral and eunuch, and it is the turn of any other official to participate But Yang He thought so in his heart, since he had told Yue Su the truth, there was no need to carry other things
When Cai Yong saw Yang He say this, how dare he say "no", so he had to say: "The person who followed Uncle Zhang just sent the news, saying that there was a person who went to see Uncle Guo just now, and not long after entering, Uncle Guo took that person, together with his subordinates, and left Yunmeng They left Yunmeng in a hurry, and they didn't know what happened."
Hearing this, Yang He didn't do anything, but Yue Su was "groaning" in his heart, and hurriedly said: "It must be Yue Jing's guy who went to find Zhang Zhongxin to harm me!" ”
"Lord Yue, what's going on?" Yang He stood beside Yue Su, Yue Su's anxiety, he naturally didn't expect that Lord Yue, who was very calm at the moment of life and death, would be so panicked when he heard this
When Nangong Shuo was confessing to Yue Su, Yin Zhu and Li Haoquan were present, and they immediately reacted, what was going on, but Jiang Jie and the others, how did they know that Jiang Jie also hurriedly asked: "My lord, isn't Yue Jing already dead?" How did you get to Uncle Zhang Guo? ”
"Now is not the time to talk about it, I must rob people back for me, and we must not let them enter Beijing!" After Yue Su finished speaking, he shouted again, "Jin Cicada, Tong Xuan, Tie Qiu, and Li Haoran obey orders!" ”
"The subordinates are here!" The four of them immediately stood up and bowed down in response
"The two of you immediately lead twenty guards, hurry up and chase after you, you must chase Yue Jing back to me," Yue Su said loudly
"Subordinates obey!" Seeing that the adults were so anxious, how dare the four of them slack off, they immediately called the existing guards and urged the horses to chase after them
Yue Su doesn't have many guards around him now, it's only twenty when it's full, and there are still wounds on his body, but now Yue Su can't manage so much, he has to chase people back and use other people, he is not at ease, he can only use his own people, but with the ability of the four of them, it shouldn't be difficult to snatch people back
Yang He saw that Yue Su was so anxious, and thought that something big must have happened, it stands to reason that he shouldn't be involved, after all, it involves Uncle Guo, and it has nothing to do with Dongchang, but he suddenly said: "Xiao Cai, you know which direction Uncle Guo is going, you are responsible for leading the way, you must chase that person back, but remember, don't be exposed"
"Subordinates understand" Cai Yong didn't understand why Yang He was flowing in this muddy water, but he was Yang He's cronies, when they were defending Jinan together, they were born and died Since Yang He said so, he naturally couldn't refute and agree, jumped on the horse, and led the way for Jin Chan and others to chase Yang He, which made Yue Su very puzzled, he looked at Yang He and said: "Brother Yang, you have done Yue a great favor, this matter ...... Once ...... Know...... It's not good for you......"
Yue Su didn't name the Empress Dowager Zhang, but Yang He is also a smart person, how could he not hear the meaning of Yue Su's words But he didn't answer positively, but just said in a low voice: "These brothers were born and died with me in Jinan City, not only are they all hot-blooded men, they won't talk nonsense" Tacit Yang He said so, then the big guy tacitly said it
But Yue Su was also afraid of chasing the wrong one, in case that person was not Yue Jing, the real Yue Jing was already dead, after catching up, and then making some unpleasant trouble, it would be really not good, so he immediately ordered, he immediately went back to the house, he took Jiang Jie, Yang He and others to escort Yue Jinzhong back to the house first, and the rest of the people escorted the treasures on the heel all the way, Yue Su was surrounded by those henchmen, as well as Yang He, Yue Su no longer concealed it, and said that in the conversation between himself and Nangong Shuo, Nangong Shuo planned to use Yue Jing's plan
As soon as they heard that this was the case, Jiang Jie and the others were relieved, no wonder the adults were so anxious, who would change it, and they would have to get on fire If Yue Jing is escorted to Beijing, Yue Jing will talk nonsense, Yue Su's charge of covering up his family's rampant lawlessness will inevitably be used by people with intentions when the time comes, even if Yue Su does not die, he will have to be demoted to a commoner and a lifetime of fame, and it will be destroyed once he returns to the house, Yue Su immediately rushed to the place where Yue Jing's body was parked, walked to the front of the corpse of "Yue Jing", wiped it his face with his hand, "brush" Suddenly, a human skin mask was torn off
The people who came with Yue Su saw this scene, and they were all dumbfounded, it turned out that this was really the case, and this human skin mask was too similar
Yue Su, just in case, asked people to look at the corpses of Sun Tang and Liu Shan, and after confirming whether it was true or false, after confirming that it was true, he reluctantly breathed a sigh of relief, but the matter was not finished yet, everything had to wait for the golden cicada to rob people back, whether they could rob them back, no one could say for sure now, they could only resign themselves to fate
The treasure was sent to the house, Yue Su ordered all the people to seal it and register it, but this is a trivial matter, there is no need to detail that he ordered forty guards at home, ordered to carry three copper guillotins, and Yang He and others rushed to Yunmeng County and sent people along the road to inquire about the news of Jin Chan and others, once they brought people back, they were asked to rush to Yunmeng County to meet immediately
Of course, the county ordered Yue Jinzhong to be held, and all the corpses of the traitors, the corpses of the killed servants, the corpses of Liu Shan, Sun Tang and the evil slaves should also be taken with them, and the captured servants and Yue Xiao, who was too frightened, must also be escorted together
Surrounded by soldiers, they came to the county government of Yunmeng County, and Lord Yue was unceremoniously in the county government hall Jiang Jie and the others were still worried about Yue Su, but seeing that Yue Su was so calm, his heart was reluctant to let go
You know, people can snatch it back, but if Uncle Zhang Guo takes advantage of this to force him, what should he do?
