The prison of Wu'an. ∈↗，

The prison, which had not moved for a long time, was suddenly opened again, and a group of prisoners were locked up. Many prisoners who were already in the prison and were about to go crazy immediately tossed hard. Some shouted, some shouted injustice, and some shook the fence with all their might. For a while, it was like a group of demons dancing, and it was not until they were beaten by the jailers one by one that these felons regained their honesty.

"New prisoner?"

Suddenly locked in so many in one breath, and they were all strong military men when they knocked on, which immediately attracted Yuan Xingwei's attention.

At the first few glances, he thought that the siege of Wu'an had been lifted, and these were captured thieves and repeat offenders. But then, he recognized several familiar guys from these soldiers. Maybe he can't name them, but Yuan Xingwei can be sure that these people are definitely Wu'an's own officers and soldiers, and their status is not low!

"Zhang is wronged!"

"Lao Hu, I have contributed to the empire, why do you say that I am a thief."

"Qian Boming, this blind thing!"

The scolding was so loud that it could be heard for half the day.

Listening to the shouts of these newly imprisoned felons, Yuan Xingwei couldn't help but be stunned. Thief?

If one or two is still possible, so much at once?

Yuan Xingwei subconsciously felt that it was too ridiculous, so he changed his thinking, could it be that Qian Boming was looking for an excuse to exclude dissidents?

It doesn't make sense.

If you want to talk about eradicating dissidents, Qian Boming has done it more than once. But now that the siege of Wu'an has not been solved, and there are hundreds of thousands of displaced people outside, Qian Boming should not be able to make Ling Zhi faint to this point. Even if you really want to do it, most of them will wait for the thief army to be repulsed.

For a while, Yuan Xingwei couldn't help but be a little puzzled.

The newly imprisoned prisoner scolded for about half an hour, and his voice finally became hoarse. The voice grew quieter. However, not long after the prison was restored, the iron gate was opened again, and a man who had been beaten and bruised was escorted in by the guards of the Governor's Palace. Probably the cells in front were full, and when I walked in all the way, I was coincidentally locked in the empty cell opposite Yuan Xingwei.

"Yo. Isn't this Lord Yuan? ”

The two guards still had an impression of Yuan Xingwei, and said hello with a smile.

"Hello two brothers!"

Yuan Xingwei has been imprisoned in the prison for a few months, and his temper is very good, and he doesn't mind, so he arches his hand with them with a folding fan. The so-called person who stretched out his hand and didn't hit the smiling face, seeing the other party's reaction, the two guards couldn't say anything, and nodded as an answer. He didn't stay long, and when he left, he didn't forget to tell the jailer: "Watch carefully." Don't let this man die...... The Governor has to ......"

The sound faded away.

Soon, the gates of the dungeon were closed again, and the inside was quiet again.

Yuan Xingwei shook the folding fan lightly and looked at the person in the opposite cell with interest. After a few moments, the other party probably recovered from the torture and semi-coma, groaned, and slowly sat up.

"He Shixiang?"

Recognizing this person, Yuan Xingwei was really stunned.

What happened in Wu'an City? Even an officer of the rank of wing commander moved?

In addition to the general of the escort army and the commanders of the two garrison brigades, the wing commander is already a high-ranking military attache in Wu'an!

And. Being tortured like this is obviously not an ordinary political struggle.

"Hey, Brother He! Can you hear me? ”

Yuan Xingwei knocked on the fence with a gilt folding fan and shouted in a low voice. After a long time, He Shixiang, who was beaten half to death, raised his head and looked at him. Mu Ran said: "Oh, it turned out to be Brother Yuan." ”

It's a stupid beating.

Yuan Xingwei sighed, picked up the jug on his side and splashed it vigorously. In November, it was a cold prison again, and half a jar of tea was poured on it. It immediately sobered He Shixiang. He shuddered violently, touched his wet hair, and glared at Yuan Xingwei: "What are you doing!" ”

"It's nothing, help Brother He sober you up."

To put it mildly, seeing that He Shixiang was really angry, Yuan Xingwei smiled and hugged his fists and apologized. When the other party's anger subsided, he asked, "Brother He is fine, why was he suddenly beaten like this?" ”

"Brother Yuan doesn't know."

He Shixiang was sad and desperate in his heart, and at this moment he found an object to confide in, and immediately told his tragic experience.

"False accusations against thieves?" Yuan Xingwei slapped the folding fan on his hand unhurriedly, shook his head after a while, and said, "Without real evidence, how can the governor and Lord Kanghe believe it lightly?" ”

"The thief has used a trick."

He Shixiang endured the pain and told the "ironclad evidence" that the director had been wronged.

He knew that Yuan Xingwei was one of Qian Boming's former aides, and he had a good brain, so he might be able to help him analyze something.

"The handwriting is the same, and there is the motive of the Zhang family."

Yuan Xingwei nodded, opened the folding fan with a snap, shook it a few times, and said to He Shixiang, who was staring at him wide-eyed: "It's really suspicious, if you change me, most of you will think that you did it." ”

"This is a great injustice!"

Hearing Yuan Xingwei say the same, He Shixiang became excited. As a result, various wounds on his body flared up, and he immediately let out a groaning pain and sat back down.

"Okay." Yuan Xingwei pointed at him with a folding fan and said, "You said that you didn't write this arrow book secret letter, so why is the handwriting on it the same as yours?" Copying forgery? A gang of anti-thieves in Yicheng, where did they get the original handwriting? ”

"This ......"

The questions that had been asked before came out of Yuan Xingwei's mouth, leaving He Shixiang speechless again.

This is also where he is confused.

"There's a second point." Yuan Xingwei looked at He Shixiang, who was already a little depressed, and continued: "Those red silk cloths in your attic are really too suspicious. Even if they really weren't deliberately prepared by you, but were hidden by bandits a few years ago, then why haven't they been shot for a few years? How did the thief find out that you have so much silk cloth in your house? ”

"The color of those silk cloths is too vulgar to be used." He Shixiang sighed and said, "At the beginning, in order to avoid the wind, I didn't dare to sell it immediately. Later, I found two of them, but the price could not be negotiated, and finally I put it in the attic and slowly forgot about it. Even the new servants of my family in the past two years may not know about this. It's really strange that the thief can know it. Perhaps, just a coincidence? ”

The thief casually wrote a red scarf, but it happened that he hid dozens of red silk cloths in his house?

"This is no coincidence!"

Yuan Xingwei shook his head and made a judgment in an unmistakable tone.

It must be that the thieves outside didn't know from what source they got this news that even He Shixiang himself had forgotten, and after using it, they set up this bureau. Poor Lin Anluo felt that he was happy, and he stole books while people were drunk, but he didn't know that everything was under the control of others.

A mere letter abolished a wing commander and a bunch of team captains, and by the way, the officers and soldiers of the entire third wing were put in danger, and the morale of the army was turbulent. In the end, there was a vague "friend in the army" who planted a thorn in the entire military attache class in Wu'an.

Good plan, good plan!

Yuan Xingwei had to admire, the planning and control of the heat during the period, even if he was allowed to arrange it, at most it would be the same.

After being stunned for a moment, he suddenly spoke: "Brother He, can you tell me about the Taiping bandit army outside?" From beginning to end, be detailed, maybe it can save your life! ”

was framed and imprisoned, and was tortured for a long time, He Shixiang was already exhausted, and he didn't have the leisure at all. But Yuan Xingwei's last sentence cheered He Shixiang up. Although he was skeptical in his heart, he had no choice now, so he carefully explained what the Taiping Righteous Army had done since its inception.

Since he learned that the thieves were besieging the city, although Yuan Xingwei also inquired a little in the prison, he was not sure how many of them were credible. Now that the co-captain of an official army has told it in person, there is no doubt about the authenticity, and it can basically be said that he is the group of people in Wu'an City who know the Taiping Army the most.

"The thief Chen Wu is said to be an ordinary civilian in Changshan Town, Yicheng. Because of the increase in the collection of Western taxes by the wardens, they instigated the rebellious people to rebel. ”

It is said that the name of the Taiping Army comes from the name of Taiping County, which means that the rebels should keep warm and peaceful everywhere. When the division swore to send troops, he also read out a "Taiping Righteous Army's Discussion of Qianyuan". I've read it once, and it says 'Rectify the soldiers and horses, Chen soldiers are ready to go, to save the generals, and Kuang Sheji'...... All in all, decent. ”

"When the city was broken, it is said that the thieves suddenly appeared outside the city gate, and then immediately seized the city gate, attacked the city defense camp and school field, and closed the four gates. Later, a group of big families in the city bought the city gate guards and escaped, bringing out a lot of news, saying that the thief was busy claiming the emperor and had no intention of expanding, but it was later proved to be false. ”

"The defenders of Longshan City sent 600 officers and troops to quell the rebellion...... Nakabush ...... Six hundred were destroyed in one night. ”

"The Anping Three Bridges were destroyed...... Ding Ziming ordered the army to go around...... Xiayang Valley ...... According to the officers and soldiers who fled, the thieves also had trebuchets and bed crossbows. ”

"Longshan City Breaks ......"

"The thieves gathered in Shouchuan, and it was rumored that when the thieves were drinking that night, they found a silk book in the belly of the fish, and the words on it said: Taiping Xing, Chen Wuwang. Later, the river dragon king of the Hongshui River appeared, and there was a bonfire fox chirping......"

One by one, one by one, He Shixiang held on to his spirit and told all the news and some rumors he knew. Every time he heard something, the light in Yuan Xingwei's eyes brightened a little. After listening to the whole process of Chen Wu's start, Yuan Xingwei was almost uncontrollable with excitement, and got up and ran back and forth in the small cell. After walking dozens of laps, he slapped the folding fan and stopped sharply in the middle of the cell.

"In this way, there are really some signs of the Lord of Destiny. I just don't know if it's a real dragon or a little Jiao who pioneered the king...... However, this son doesn't seem to have a choice! ”

muttering a few words to himself, Yuan Xingwei suddenly had a strong fighting spirit, and tilted his head to look at He Shixiang.

"Now, I said Brother He, do you want to die or live?" (To be continued.) )
