Bidding farewell to the people of the Green Bull Sect, Starry Night continued to walk outside the empire.

Because he was not in a hurry, he stopped and stopped, passing by one city after another.

It's rare for a starry night to be so idle.

I came to Xinfeng City again, which belongs to the border city and has many soldiers defending the city.

Now that the war is over, the soldiers are not very careful about the crowd entering the city.

Starry Night simply changed his appearance, because he had appeared in this city at the beginning, and almost everyone from the general to the small soldiers recognized him.

So he didn't want to reveal his identity here, and he followed the crowd.

When queuing up to enter the city, the starry night turned his head to look around, and there were many people in and out of Xinfeng City.

This place is the closest city to the Tianyin Empire, and there are many merchants who come and go.

Suddenly, Starry Night's gaze stayed on a middle-aged man.

His expression was slightly stunned, a little stunned.

This is an ordinary person, there is no breath fluctuation in Zhou's body, he is about forty years old, carrying a package behind him, followed by an ordinary woman.

The two were also in line, not far behind Starry Night.

In this place, there are not many ordinary people, and almost all of the people who come and go here are star laws.

Starry Night successfully entered Xinfeng City, and his next destination was the Tianyin Empire, the road was far away, and he planned to find a caravan to accompany him.

It's too boring to travel alone.

Starry Night bought some food in the city and went to the West Gate to look for a caravan.

As soon as he came here, Starry Night saw a familiar person, and even shouted unexpectedly: "Old Yu!"

It was the same caravan he had encountered the last time he had returned.

The middle-aged man named Lao Yu looked back and saw the starry night, he was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "It turned out to be you kid, aren't you gone, why are you here?"

Xingye stepped forward, handed Lao Yu a string of sugar gourds he had just bought, and said, "I'm done, I'm ready to leave Xingwu, where are you going?"

Lao Yu unceremoniously took the sugar gourd, took a bite, and said, "Let's go back to Star Iron City." ”

Star Iron City is on the border of the Tianyin Empire, and it is said that its location is far away from Xinfeng City.

"Can you give me a ride?" Starry Night's eyes lit up, this was really a coincidence.

Lao Yu was a little embarrassed and said: "This time the journey is far away, I am afraid it will not be easy to take you for free." Otherwise, you and I will move the goods, feed the horses, and do what I can, and I will go to Shen Dahao to help you talk, do you think it's okay?"

"Yes, of course!"

Xingye nodded, in fact, he had to pay, since Lao Yu said so, naturally he couldn't be cold to his kindness.

"Okay, you kid wait. ”

Lao Yu walked forward and walked in front of Shen Dahao, not knowing what he was saying, and sometimes looked at the starry night.

Shen Dahao frowned, but nodded quickly.

After a while, Lao Yu walked back and said with a smile: "Boy, it's done." ”

"Thank you. Starry Night hurriedly clenched his fists.

"Be polite to me, let's go, let's move the goods now!"

Lao Yu took the starry night and moved some goods to the carriage, in fact, it was just a handle, and he was not tired.

Suddenly, Starry Night saw two people squatting not far away, and his expression changed slightly.

Lao Yu followed the starry night's gaze, saw the middle-aged couple, and said: "It is said that they went to the Tianyin Empire to look for relatives, and they encountered thieves on the road, and their belongings were robbed. ”

Xingye nodded and said, "In this way, Shen Da Shang is really a good person. ”

Lao Yu laughed, "I don't know if it's a good person, in short, it's not a profiteer, and he hasn't treated us badly for many years." ”

The team was quickly reorganized, and except for Starry Night and the couple, the others were all old people in the team.

After Shen Dahao checked the goods, he led people out of the city from the other side.

On the other side is the fortress, which is very strong and towering.

When the group came here, Shen Dahao stepped forward and greeted the soldiers familiarly.

Xingye stood behind and watched, and found that Shen Dahao took out a cloth bag without a trace when he was greeting.

This is obviously the 'rule' as well.

In this regard, Starry Night is not strange.

Sure enough, after the 'rules' were presented, the soldier only symbolically glanced at the goods and waved everyone to leave.

"There will be no problem, we are too familiar with this path. Lao Yu smiled confidently.

The crowd began to go out of the city.

At this moment, a group of men and horses suddenly rushed from behind, and when they approached, one of them shouted, "Slow!"

Seeing this, the soldiers immediately stepped forward and stopped the caravan.

Starry Night's gaze glanced to the side, and the middle-aged couple had a hint of nervousness in their eyes.

"General, what does this mean?"

Shen Dahao looked at the visitor suspiciously.

"Smack!"

A long whip fell, slammed Shen Dahao's body, knocking him to the ground.

"Come on, arrest all these spies!"

The general, who was on his horse, spoke indifferently.

"My lord, you have been wronged!"

Shen Dahao's face was frightened, and he quickly took out a cloth bag and handed it to the general.

"Bang!"

The young general dismounted and kicked Shen Dahao away, "Blatantly bribe, do you want to die?"

The faces of the other guards also changed drastically, but they didn't dare to say anything in the face of this general and the other soldiers around them.

"Grab them all!"

Immediately a soldier stepped forward and kept the crowd firmly in check.

No one dared to resist in front of these Imperial soldiers.

Soon, everyone was in prison, including Starry Night.

The ordinary couple leaned against the corner, as if they had never seen such a scene, shivering.

The rest of the guards are unknown.

Starry Night sat against the wall, relatively calm.

Lao Yu frowned and said nothing.

"What the hell is going on?"

Starry Night asked in a low voice, "Why did he say that everyone is a spy?"

Lao Yu said with an ugly face: "That general is new. ”

Starry Night was stunned when she heard this, "Does it matter?"

"It's because it's okay that it's a problem. ”

Lao Yu glanced at Starry Night, "Do you think it's easy to control a trade route? We've been here a few times, but we've never seen the young general, and it's clear that he's new. ”

Lao Yu sighed, "The new official has taken office three times, and this time, Shen Dahao is going to bleed." ”

"Will it be that simple?"

Starry Night was stunned for a moment, and said in disbelief: "The person before said that we were spies, this is a big crime!"

"There are two official words, and what is said is reason. ”

Lao Yu gave Starry Night a look that you are still young and don't understand the world.

"Old Yu, shut up! I'm afraid this matter is not that simple!" At this moment, a voice came from the side.

It's Wang Luxiu.

The leader of the guards this time usually talks very little, and when they met for the first time, they were reluctant to join in the starry night, but Shen Dahao opened his mouth.

He's a guy who doesn't like to get into trouble.

Lao Yu pouted and said, "Over the years, how many times have you and I encountered this kind of thing? Which time is not like this?"

Then, Lao Yu sighed again: "Hey, it's also unlucky for us, this time when we go back, I'm afraid the remuneration will be much less." ”

Looking at Starry Night's puzzled expression, Lao Yu explained: "Shen Dahao is a good person, for so many years, although the remuneration given to us is not high, every time the goods are successfully sent back, there will be additional commissions. ”

At this moment, the cell door opened, and a soldier walked in, "You guys, come out for me!"

He pointed at several people in succession, and they walked out.

"Pretend!"

Lao Yu snorted.

Starry Night still believes in Lao Yu's judgment.

Because when he was in the Star Martial Sect, he had encountered all kinds of 'rules', and even from top to bottom, he had his own 'rules'.

A moment later, a few more people were called away, and after they left, they never returned.

And so on several times.

Lao Yu sighed: "The more realistic this play is, the greater the price to pay." This time, Shen Dahao is definitely going to bleed. ”

Starry Night's expression was no longer relaxed, and he sensed something unusual.

He looked at the couple next to him, and when they came in, they crouched in the corner, and they were silent and never communicated.

It's just that the two of them are too ordinary, so no one cares about the two of them.

Soon, the two men were also taken away.

There are only three people left in the starry night.

"What?"

Lao Yu said: "It's almost noon, do you want to leave us to eat?"

"It's all said to shut you up, I'm afraid it's not that simple. ”

Wang Luxiu glared at Lao Yu.

"You three, hurry up, your lord wants to ask!"

The soldier opened the cell door, and the three of them walked out.

They were taken to a room in which an elderly general sat and flanked two young men, one of whom was the one who had ordered their capture.

The other one, who was also very young, looked at each other twice in the starry night.

"Tell me, who is the spy among you?" the old general glanced at the three of them.

"My lord, misunderstanding, we are just the guards of the caravan, making some coolie money, where is the spy?" Lao Yu immediately cried out, obviously this kind of thing, he has not encountered it once or twice, and he knows how to deal with it.

The old general had a cold face and said, "Let me introduce myself, my name is Meng Chuan, the deputy general of Xinfeng City." ”

Lao Yu's face changed suddenly.

Wang Luxiu's eyes widened and he looked at the other party in shock.

A lieutenant general, for them, is definitely a big person.

And the other party is not a new official, he is a real general, who has been on the battlefield.

"Something has been found in your cargo. General Meng Chuan had a cold face and said, "Now tell who is the spy, and I can spare you death!"

Lao Yu was so frightened that he knelt on the ground, his face was miserable, "How can this be?

It was completely different from what he expected, and it made him confused.

Wang Luxiu shook his head and said, "We don't know anything. ”

Starry Night shook her head as well.

"Someone has revealed that Shen Dahao is a spy, what do you think?" General Meng Chuan looked at the three of them.

Wang Luxiu said in a deep voice: "Shen Dahao has been in business for many years, and his reputation is excellent, so he is definitely not a spy!"

"I don't know, I don't know anything. Lao Yu was scared enough.

Starry Night shook her head again.

General Meng Chuan knocked on the table and said, "Now someone has accused Shen Dahao and presented evidence. If you can testify, I will spare you your death!"

Starry Night's face changed suddenly.

Wang Luxiu said: "I believe in Shen Dahao, he is definitely not a spy. ”

The pale-faced old Yu also said: "Shen Dahao can't be a spy, he is very good, we have known each other for many years." My lord, there must be a mistake. ”

Xingye didn't speak, just looked at Meng Chuan.

General Meng Chuan waved his hand, "Take it down." ”

Instead of returning to their cells, the three of them came to a square where everyone else who had left before knelt on their knees.

"My lord, you have been wronged!"

As soon as he arrived, Shen Dahao begged for mercy, and at this moment his body was covered with whip marks, and many injuries had been opened, and he was obviously tortured.

"The human and material evidence is here, what else do you have to say?"

A flash of murder flashed in Meng Chuan's eyes, "Evidence!"

The young man next to him immediately took out a jade talisman and handed it to Meng Chuan.

Meng Chuan shouted angrily: "This is the evidence, do you dare to quibble?"

"My lord, it's really wronged, I, Shen Dahao, have been walking on this road for twenty years, and I have never done anything to be sorry for the empire. ”

Shen Dahao kowtowed again and again, "I'm just a businessman, I ask my lord to see everything!"

"Where's the witness?"

Meng Chuan glanced at everyone.

Everyone looked at Meng Chuan, and their hearts were cold.

Being a spy is a capital crime, and immediately a guard got up, pointed at Shen Dahao and said, "My lord, I can testify that he is a spy!"

"Shen Huai, you ......"

Shen Dahao looked at the guards, "I can treat you well on weekdays, why do you want to harm me?"

Shen Huai snorted coldly and said, "You are doing business under the slogan of doing business, but you are doing scheming things, it is clear that you want to harm us!"

"That's right, my lord, he's a spy, and he has nothing to do with us!" another person stepped forward.

"My lord, I can also testify that he is a spy!"

Others got up one after another and began to testify.

"You ......"

Shen Dahao turned his head to look at the people who were swearing, and at this moment, he was completely desperate.

Here, being identified as a spy is a dead end, and it is impossible to live.

In the blink of an eye, nearly 100 people stood up and said that they could all testify.

But there were still dozens of people kneeling and they did not come out to testify.

Starry Night swept his gaze, and the middle-aged couple was kneeling there.

Meng Chuan's gaze swept over everyone and shouted, "Since the evidence is conclusive, let's cut it." ”

Then he pointed to dozens of other people who refused to testify, and said, "These people, I think they are all Shen Dahao's accomplices, and they are slashed and killed together!"

When the others heard this, their faces immediately changed.

Immediately, someone said, "My lord, I can testify too!"

"I ...... And testify!"

One after another, everyone else also stood up and said they could testify.

The middle-aged couple hesitated, but also stood up to testify.

The matter is already very clear, even if everyone knows that Shen Dahao is wronged, it can't change anything at this moment.

Shen Dahao will die, but if he testifies by himself, he will survive.

At this moment, everyone knows what to choose.

"My lord, Shen Dahao is wronged, and I hope that my lord will see what is going on. Wang Luxiu said suddenly.

"That's right, I also believe that Shen Dahao was wronged. Lao Yu's eyes were persistent, he had always been timid, but now he was not afraid of death.

Shen Dahao was very moved, because at this time, there were still people who believed in him.

He is even willing to use his life to prove his reputation and innocence!

But he knew that it was useless.

This general, obviously, wanted to kill him.

So he smiled bitterly and said with a desperate face: "My lord, I confess!"

He had never pleaded guilty in the face of torture before, but now he took the initiative to confess his guilt in order not to implicate the two.

"...... you?"

Wang Luxiu and Lao Yu both looked at Shen Dahao.

"Live well. Shen Dahao smiled miserably.

The others couldn't bear to look at it and turned their heads away.

Meng Chuan's eyes flashed with a touch of killing intent, "Slash!"

As soon as the words fell, the young general next to him walked out, drew his sword and slashed.

Shen Dahao closed his eyes and accepted his fate.

"Wait!"

The starry night, who had been watching coldly, suddenly spoke.

The young player stopped what he was doing.

Everyone is looking at the starry night at the moment.

Starry Night said: "General, I'm afraid there is some misunderstanding in this matter, can you take a step to speak?"

"What are you to dare to talk to a general like that?"

The young man holding the sword looked dissatisfied.

"The general is looking for spies for the sake of the well-being of the empire, and he is really an important minister of the empire, and we admire him very much. Xingye smiled faintly and said, "General, can you take a step to speak?" because I have a very important clue. ”

"Really?" Meng Chuan looked at the starry night.

"If there is no evidence, the general can cut me down together. Xingye looked at Meng Chuan's eyes and said with a straight face.

"Okay, you and I will come!"

Meng Chuan turned to leave, and the two young generals immediately followed.

At this moment, everyone looked at the starry night, their expressions were puzzled, and they didn't know what he was going to do.

Starry Night didn't look at the crowd, but turned and followed.

At this moment, his expression was very solemn.

came to the room just now, and before Meng Chuan could speak, Starry Night sat in the main seat.

He glanced at the lieutenant general and said angrily: "Meng Chuan, you are so bold, you dare to frame and kill people and sell goods?"
