On the temporary execution ground on the cross street, Lao Liu, the fierce executioner of the three big and five coarse images, took the death card around He Sheng's neck, raised the ghost head knife high, and silently muttered in his heart: "Boy, I just obey orders, I will burn three sticks of incense for you when I turn around, you have a debtor and a master, don't come to me!" ”

"Keep people under the knife!" Lao Liu suddenly faintly heard someone shouting, his eyes subconsciously turned his head to look at Lord Bao, the cell head shrugged his eyebrows, and shouted: "Why are you stunned, don't you behead the prisoner soon!" ”

Giving the cell boss such a drink, Lao Liu's heart was confused for a while, and he did not hesitate to slash He Sheng's neck......

The white light flashed, and there was a sound on the ground, Lao Liu only felt a shock in his hand, and the knife that had never made a mistake was shocked to the side, and slashed on the bluestone paved ground with a bang, rubbing out countless sparks, and his hands were broken, Lao Liu couldn't hold the ghost head knife, and he actually got rid of it......

Jian Wuya, the head of the Yangzhou Mansion who was staring closely at the execution ground, jumped in his heart, and saw a sea bowl with a missing mouth next to Lao Liu's feet gurgling, and his eyes suddenly looked at the small shop where Yang Jian and them were drinking.

"Bold!" Jian Wuyan pulled out his waist knife with a toothless brush and shouted, but before he could shout the words of arrest, he heard someone shouting in the distance: "Leave people under the knife, the holy decree has arrived!" Keep people under the knife! ”

The sound was like thunder, rumbling, Bao Xingpeng heard the shout and felt a shock in his heart, he stood up and looked at the place where the sound came from, and the people who watched the execution at the scene also turned their heads to look at the sound after hearing it......

I saw the dust billowing in the direction of the West City Gate, and the sound of hooves rumbled, as if there were thousands of horses sprinting, and in front of the dust, several people wearing unicorn flying fish suits embroidered on yellow backgrounds galloped on horseback.

"Jin Yiwei!" Bao Xingpeng was taken aback, the flying fish suit, the luan belt, and the embroidered spring knife, this is the costume of the brocade guard, and the people wearing the flying fish suit are the guards close to the emperor, how could they suddenly appear in Yangzhou? Not only did he bring a holy decree, but he also came to prevent the execution, could it be that what the visitor from Suzhou said that day was true?

The onlookers subconsciously got out of the way, Hua Ming and other five horsemen rushed into the intersection of Caishikou Street, Hua Ming first swept to the execution ground in the middle of the crowd, only to see that there was no blood on the ground, three people kneeling side by side on the ground, the name was written on the death card behind their backs, Hua Ming was greatly relieved, completely relieved, he waved his hand, his four subordinates quickly protected He Sheng and the three, and the executioner Lao Liu and the cell head and others were driven to the side.

Hua Ming held high the holy decree and shouted: "By the order of Lord Qincha, the execution is suspended!" These three people are on temporary detention pending trial! ”

Bao Xingpeng stepped forward and said, "Dare to ask the general, which Lord Qincha gave the order?" Where is Chincha-sama? Nan Zhili has never heard of a Qincha? ”

Hua Ming shouted: "Lord Feiduan, the governor of Nanzhili, who was appointed by the emperor, is now on his way to Yangzhou!" This official was ordered to come first to postpone the execution, Lord Bao, do you want to check the holy decree of Lord Qincha? ”

Bao Xingpeng hurriedly said that he didn't dare, he looked at He Sheng and the three of them, shook his head, waved his hand to let the officials and the executioner and others retreat, and he said to Hua Ming: "Since it is the order of Lord Qincha, then we will follow it, dare to ask the general's name?" It's not easy to talk here, so it's better to escort the prisoner back to the palace first, and I should set up a banquet for the general to catch the wind......"

Hua Ming said: "This is very good, it is estimated that the adult should arrive in an hour, the official has the responsibility of guarding the Qincha, and after arranging the prisoners, you need to rush to pick up the adult immediately, and the rest of the matter will be handed over to you." ”

Bao Xingpeng didn't refuse, he turned around and ordered the officials to disperse the people, his eyes suddenly fell to the tavern, he hesitated, and said to Hua Ming: "Lord Hua, before you arrived, someone in this tavern threw a sea bowl and knocked off the executioner's knife, should you ask everyone in the tavern?" ”

At this time, Yang Jian had already left in the tavern, Yang Sen was still lying on the table, Su Rong walked out with his head held high, and said loudly: "No need to check, that sea bowl was thrown out by me, dare to ask the general, is the Qincha you are talking about Lord Duan Feiduan?" My name is Su Rong, I wonder if Lord Duan has mentioned it to the general? ”

Hua Ming's eyes lit up when he looked at Su Rong, he secretly praised in his heart, and said: "It turned out to be Miss Su who was inseparable from Lord Duan's side, Lord Duan really had no last resort, if it weren't for Miss Su throwing a sea bowl to block it, I would have no shame to go to see the adult, so I could only apologize for my guilt." ”

Su Rong said with a smile: "The general's words are serious, dare to ask the general, where is Lord Duan now?" ”

Hua Ming turned over and dismounted, and saluted Su Rong respectfully: "Miss Su, Lord Duan and I broke up in Jinshan, I rode a horse and galloped, the adult may still be on the way, the horse strength in Jiangnan is too poor, and he is tired after walking half the way, I have to exchange a few horses with silver on the halfway, even so, it is still a step late, fortunately, Miss Su is here to ......."

Bao Xingpeng, who was left out in the cold, was a little unhappy in his heart, this Hua Ming was cold and indifferent to himself, but he was so careful to slap the sycophants of a little girl, it was really unreasonable, he interjected: "The general is used to riding healthy horses in the north, and the bad horses in the south naturally can't stand the general's drive, general, Miss Su, it's too hot outside, let's go back to the yamen first and talk slowly." ”

Hua Ming looked around and said, "My lord ordered me to meet a few people after I came to Yangzhou, in addition to Miss Su, there are also Yang Sen, Guo Wei, Hong Bang, and Jiang Jun, I don't know if they can be here?" ”

Su Rong smiled and nodded around, and said, "They are all here, Yang Sen is resting in the tavern, Guo Wei, you guys come here!" ”

Guo Wei and the three of them were still hesitating whether to come out to meet each other, and when they heard Su Rong's call, they finally squeezed out of the crowd with confidence, and shouted happily: "Come on, Miss Su, why didn't you come to Suzhou to look for us, we have been worried for so long, and we were so anxious last night that we didn't close our eyes." ”

Su Rong sighed: "I know all your things, go and return the three coffins, they don't need that thing anymore, after finishing the matter, they will go to Yangzhou Mansion to meet." ”

Guo Wei smiled: "What else is there to deal with, just let the boss carry it back, we don't want the bad money." ”

When Yang Sen woke up in a daze, he saw Guo Wei chatting energetically with someone he didn't know, Yang Sen sat up, touched his chest, and asked, "Why am I here?" How happened to Yuqi Yulin? ”

Guo Wei turned his head to him and smiled: "They are fine, just next door, Miss Su is checking on them, let's not disturb, this is Luo Chaohui, the captain of Jinyi, they were sent by Lord Duan, Lord Duan has been ordered to become the governor of Nanzhili, Hong Bang and Jiang Jun went to pick up the adult, and they will probably be back soon." ”

"Oh......" Yang Sen touched his head blankly, and suddenly shouted, "Qincha? The governor of Nanzhili? Lord Duan has been promoted again! ”

Guo Wei said with a smile: "Yes, but it's not a promotion, Lord Duan is still the fourth rank of the Imperial Inspectorate, but he has the right to make decisions in the investigation of the case, and he will return to Beijing to report on his work and hand over the decree before the year, which means that this Qin Cha only has a three-month time limit." ”

Luo Chaohui said with a smile: "As long as the emperor continues to reuse adults, what is a mere Qincha?" ”

Yang Sen was overjoyed and said: "Haha, Brother Luo is right, Lord Duan is the governor of Qincha, the governor of Nan Zhili, won't I become the first of Nan Zhili?" ”

Guo Wei swept his leg and said with a smile: "The first is not the first, and you didn't seal it yourself, do you have that strength?" and dream. ”

Yang Sen ignored him, smirked and fantasized to the side, in fact, he was pricking up his ears to listen to the voice next door.

In the next room, He Sheng and Yuqi Yulin sat side by side on chairs, with their backs to the door, and Su Rong stood behind them, holding their hands on their heads from time to time, and then frowned and thought for a while.

"Tricky situation?" A voice appeared in her ears, Su Rong was not surprised, there should not be many people in Yangzhou City who could approach her unconsciously, Yang Jian was the only one she knew.

Su Rong nodded and said: "Their Tongtian and Luocho acupoints were moved, and a poisonous internal force coiled around the acupoints in their brains, I tried to force them out, and the beginning was quite smooth, the yin poisonous internal force retreated at the touch, but in the end it was hidden in the two acupoints of Tongtian and Luo, tangled, I didn't dare to exert pressure again, so as not to cause immeasurable consequences, once I retracted, the yin poisonous internal force will rage again, and there is no way at all." ”
