Chapter 168: Caught

Spring and Autumn became a hero in the capital for a while, and the streets and alleys were spreading about this hero who had never met.

He became a chivalrous man, but he didn't think about the situation of Dongchang. Dongchang has been scolded by people, and even Grandpa Wei has begun to scold. The mouths of the common people were opened, and no one could stop them.

But the common people are the common people after all, and when another round of the ban policy of the party east factory came, they still obediently behaved as ordinary people.

So why did they dare to speak so unscrupulously in the past few days when the Spring and Autumn Period appeared? That's all thanks to the sudden appearance of a great knight. His appearance made the people see hope, but they knew better than anyone that it was difficult for the hero alone to confront the entire Dongchang, so they were silent now.

Gonggong Wei was very curious about this hero who suddenly appeared, he felt that he did not appear suddenly, someone must have planned it for a long time. And this person is very familiar with the capital and the Forbidden City. However, although there are many such people, they have all been uprooted by him, so there is no one who can threaten him.

He used almost all the people in Dongchang to find this person, but in the past few days, he seemed to have disappeared suddenly. He couldn't find it in such a clueless search. Therefore, he tied up the families of the thirteen men who had gone away that day at the gates of the city, and they killed one of them if they did not show up.

The thirteen people who were going to leave soon all came back obediently, but how could the shrewd Gonggong Wei kill them now?

He asked the thirteen of them to recall the appearance of this "hero", if they couldn't draw it, they would still kill their family members a day, and finally kill only thirteen of them. If they can't draw it, then they will die one by one.

Soon, they compromised, they fled for their families, and they came back for their own families. If they don't have their families, they're nothing.

Therefore, they relied on memory to draw the appearance of "heroes".

Under the order of Gonggong Wei, the entire Ming Dynasty was plastered with his wanted pictorials, and the people who caught him were rewarded heavily.

The thirteen of them thought that Grandpa Wei would let them go, but he still refused to let them go. Locking them up is to lure this "hero" to take the bait, why was he stupid enough to let them go?

However, his family was released home, but when night came, they were all assassinated at home.

Chunqiu didn't know what was going on until he heard about it while he was dining at an inn. At first he didn't believe it, but when he ran out to look at the pictorial on the wall, he found out that he was wanted.

He hurriedly went back and lined up a row of copper plates, and then ran out and tore off the pictorial and slipped away with his head down.

"Are they caught?"

He found a place where no one was and thought about it for a long time, but decided to go to the East Factory to find out.

As the saying goes, this is the safest place to be a dangerous place, he doesn't believe that the Wei Guild thinks he is right under his nose, right?

So he changed into a set of eunuch clothes and mixed into the East Factory. He is very familiar with how to play a eunuch, and it turns out that He Wanjun has also played it many times.

He crept into the cell where they were being held, but the door was guarded by a jailer.

The best way to get the jailer was to give them some personnel, so he stuffed the silver he had prepared into their hands before letting him in.

He smiled. There is no problem in this world that money can't solve, and if there is, it is a problem of more money and less money.

The jailer told him to hurry, and he smiled and nodded before rushing in.

There are so many people locked up here that finding them is as hard as finding a needle in a haystack. But if he didn't look for it, he didn't even have a chance to ask clearly.

He looked from cell to cell, and when he got to the end, he found thirteen people locked in cells.

As soon as they saw that Spring and Autumn was coming, they all knelt on the ground for him, and began to ask him to forgive.

"Did you really do it?"

He asked, surprised.

"Benefactor, we are also forced to do it, they arrested our family and tied them up outside the city gate, saying that if we don't come back, they will kill one person every day and not release them until we come back!"

Liu Er, who was kneeling at the front, cried and said.

"And now they're all home?"

He asked, looking him in the eye.

"I don't know, we're worried about their safety!"

Liu Er said and glanced back at the arrested brother, feeling very sad.

"Benefactor, I know we shouldn't betray you, but we don't want to see them die!"

He was right, while his family was still alive, even treachery would be spared. But once the family is gone, there is no concern in his heart, and it is very likely that there will be more so-called "heroes" like him.

If his family were still around, he would have chosen to betray his friends. He can understand them completely, so he doesn't blame them.

But what made him angry was that they could have painted him as a different picture, but they painted him completely.

"Why are you keeping you here when you've already drawn me?"

He asked, looking at thirteen faces.

"I don't know about that."

Liu Er looked into his eyes and replied.

"It's not like they're going to use you to lure me out, are they? Oh no, I need to get out of here! ”

Only then did he realize that he had fallen into their trap, and when he turned to run, he found that the door of the prison had been surrounded by soldiers.

"What kind of hero did our family think you were a hero, so easy to get caught?"

Gonggong Wei's fierce voice came from behind the soldiers, and soon he walked over from the soldiers.

"Yo, this is the hero who saves people? Tsk, what a handsome face! ”

He walked over slowly, pinched his waist, and smiled in surprise: "What a powerful waist......

Then he looked up at him.

He turned his head away from him, and since he had been caught, he had nothing to say. But when he saw Wei Zhongxian again, the fire in his heart was forced to his throat, and it could erupt at any time.

"What's your name?"

Grandpa Wei turned around and sat back in his chair and asked.

He closed his mouth tightly and did not speak, looking righteous and awe-inspiring, about to die.

"We have a way to get you to speak!"

After he finished speaking, he turned his head and glanced at the soldier standing nearby. The soldier walked to the door of the cell, opened the lock, walked in, drew a knife and stabbed a man to death.

Chunqiu was both angry and annoyed when he saw that one of the thirteen people he saved was stabbed to death in front of his eyes. He couldn't wait to break Wei Zhongxian's body into pieces.

"What? Still not talking? ”

Gonggong Wei asked with a smile.

As soon as his voice fell, the soldier standing in the cell raised his knife again, ready to stab a man.

Just as his knife was about to stab the man, Chunqiu cried and shouted, "Slow! ”

"What, figured it out?"

Gonggong Wei asked with a smile.

"I said, my name is Xia Dong."

He said with tears in his eyes, choked up.

"Xia Dong? Tell us why we kidnapped these prisoners? ”

He continued.

"They are innocent."

He said, turning to look him in the eye.

"Innocent? Do you think they are innocent? So you tell our family, who is not innocent? They have endangered the foundation of my Ming Dynasty and have touched my Ming law, and you even say that such a person is innocent. ”

Before he could speak, Gonggong Wei said again: "They are all people who are inextricably linked to the Donglin Party, and they are the ones who endanger my Daming!" ”

Under Father-in-law Wei's seemingly calm expression, there was actually a turbulent undercurrent. What he said sounded reasonable, but it was unfounded. He said that they had a relationship with the Donglin Party, but they could not produce any evidence.

"You say that they have endangered the Ming Dynasty, but they are just empty words!"

He said with a sneer.

"Even if there is no evidence, our family will strangle them in the cradle, in case these people will become the vanguard of the rebellion in the future!"

Gonggong Wei's words made him unable to refute, even if he could find a reason to refute, so what? With Father-in-law Wei's person, how could he let him go?

"Then let's ask you again, what is the relationship between you and the Donglin Party?"

He asked, getting up from his chair and staring him in the eye.

"If you say it's okay, will you believe it?"

He also stared at Gonggong Wei's eyes and said.

"Hahahaha, that's good! It seems that you still have a hard mouth, but our family likes to treat people with hard mouths the most! ”

He laughed twice, then immediately pulled down his face and glared at him.

"Come on, tie up this Xia Dong!"

As soon as he finished speaking, two soldiers came with ropes and tied him up.

"It's useless for you to tie me up, and I don't know anyone from the Donglin Party!"

He struggled to break free, but he was already tied up, and all resistance was useless.

"You, you're just not honest, our family has time to ask you!"

Grandpa Wei smiled at him, then turned around and prepared to go out.

Before leaving, he said one more thing.

"You guys give me a good look at this Xia Gongzi!"

"Yes, Gonggong!"

Two soldiers dragged him to the innermost cell and pushed him in.

He was pushed to the ground, but he didn't rush to his feet, but thought about how to save them.

Spring and Autumn seems to have changed somewhere, he originally only had Du Wanjun in his heart, and now he has begun to care about other people.

But now he is also imprisoned, let alone saving them, it is difficult to protect himself!

He looked at the moonlight shining through the small window, and his heart suddenly felt sad. How did he end up in such a situation?

However, it is a pity that he is still alive, and as long as he is alive, there is still hope. And they didn't recognize who he was, as long as he went out, fled to find Lian Chengyu outside the gate, and asked him to change his skin again, so that no one would recognize him.

"Benefactor, benefactor!"

A low cry came from the next cell.

He walked to the door of the cell and saw Liu Er standing at the door calling him.

"Huh?"

He looked at him in amazement.

"Benefactor, a few of us have thought about it, instead of waiting here for death, it is better to save you out!"

Liu Er looked at him sincerely and said.
