Chapter 68: Hostages
"Yes, you can take this token and go to the county order to explain the matter." Saying that, Xiao Shu took off the jade plate on his waist and threw it to Xiao San, turned his head to the rest of the people and ordered: "Xiao San went to the county order to negotiate this matter, and the rest of the people followed me secretly, it is best not to alarm them, if they are discovered, they will be killed immediately!"
"Yes!"
Then the soldiers divided into two ways, Xiao Shu and the others quickly rushed towards the position pointed by the girl before, and Xiao San knocked on the yamen with a token.
"What kind of person, this midnight ......" The official guarding the door rubbed his sour eyes and opened the door, and what came in was a jade plate engraved with the word order, and he was frightened.
"Big... What are you doing when you come late at night?" The official hurriedly opened the door and asked cautiously.
Since the locust plague a few months ago, the county magistrate has issued an order that anyone who sees this kind of jade plaque must be carefully received and notify himself immediately.
At the first sight, he almost thought he was wrong, but when he saw it, his soul was almost scared away.
Xiao San was very satisfied with his respect, and said lightly: "I have important matters to discuss here, so I will immediately invite the county master to come!"
"Yes, yes, yes! The adults will go later, and the little ones will go!"
The official rushed to the door of the county magistrate's house and shouted, "My lord! My lord!"
Master Sun, who was hugging his wife and sleeping soundly, was woken up, got up and opened the door with an unhappy face, and scolded: "Let you guard the door is to guard the door, not to knock on my door, don't you look at what time it is!" Don't you want to do it anymore?!"
The official looked aggrieved, pointed outside and said, "My lord, it's not that I want to quarrel with you, it's just that the adults outside. He asked me to come to you......"
Sun Xianli looked pity: "What adults outside?"
The official nodded, "It's the token you brought our attention to earlier..."
"What tokens.... Sun Xianli was woken up violently, and his brain couldn't turn around at all, so the official had to compare: "It's that jade card....... It's the locust plague before!"
Being reminded like this, Sun Xianling was shocked to think of something, and immediately went back to put on his clothes and hurriedly said, "Lead the way!"
As soon as Sun Xianling entered the hall, he saw Xiao San sitting in his seat waiting, and his identical dress and temperament made him doubt the authenticity of this token.
He stepped forward with a smile: "I have kept the adults waiting for a long time, I don't know if the adults have something important to come here late at night?"
Xiao San snorted lightly: "Naturally, there is something important, otherwise I wouldn't have the courage to disturb adults at night so much, would I?"
"Don't dare, don't dare!" Sun Xianling smiled embarrassedly, and immediately shouted at the officials on the side: "Li Wu, are you blind?" Not even a cup of tea?!"
The official Li Wu was very aggrieved, at this time, the people in the firewood room would go to rest, where was there any tea. Xiao San raised his hand: "Tea is not necessary, do you know that many young girls have disappeared in the county for no reason recently?"
Sun Xianling was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked at Li Wu, who nodded again and again.
In the past few days, many people have indeed come to report that their girl has not returned for a long time, and there is no trace of them when they go out to look for them, so they have to come to the yamen to report the case.
But he also took the officials to look around, obviously many people saw it, but in a blink of an eye, the figure disappeared, he estimated that he had encountered a post, so he reported the matter to the county magistrate.
But at that time, the county lord was receiving the squire and waved his hand to let him solve it by himself, so he had to strictly check the people who entered and exited Yunlai County first, but the others were powerless.
Sun Xian Ling hurriedly said: "Naturally, there is!" Adult means ......"
Xiao San saw all his previous small actions in his eyes, and knew that this county order was just a false appearance, so he didn't bother to compromise with him immediately, and directly explained his intentions.
"We have found the location of this group, but because the hostage escape has alarmed the group of traffickers, I would like to ask the adults to send people to block all the exits, and then follow us to outflank and arrest them."
"Got a place already found?!" Sun Xianling was a little incredulous, you must know that since ancient times, this trafficker has belonged to the group of thieves, and the slightest wind and grass will be transferred, which is really more slippery than a loach.
In addition to being shocked, he also had other thoughts in his heart, this people have been suffering from human traffickers for a long time, if he can arrest and report it, wouldn't it be another merit?
When the time comes, you will not only be able to get the appreciation of the above, but also the gratitude of the people, no matter how you look at this transaction, you will not lose money!
He said solemnly: "This is naturally no problem, this official immediately ordered all the officials to dispatch, and it is our duty to eliminate harm for the people!"
"Li Wu, immediately go and inform all the officials to come to the yamen to assemble! Move fast!"
"Yes!"
The night was deep, Chu Xinyun held her breath and hid in the grass to avoid the searching traffickers, and there were hot pains in several places on her body, all of which were cut by Teng Xia in the forest, but she could only endure it, and once she made a little sound, she would be discovered by everyone close at hand.
"Where did this lady hide, why can't she even see a figure after looking for so long?"
"It's also strange, this forest is not too big, and the brothers have been looking for such a big circle."
"Could it be that you won't be here at all?"
"No way, I saw a figure running in before...."
"Bah, what can you see in this black light? Don't be a rabbit or anything!"
Chu Xinyun breathed a sigh of relief in her heart when she listened to everyone's casual words, and in order to make them think that she was not here, she even kept following their butts around.
As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest place, and they would never have imagined that the person they were looking for was actually following them all the time.....
Chu Xinyun was worried about carrying the hem of her skirt, and just as she was about to get up, she heard a crisp sound of 'rubbing' behind her, and as soon as her body stiffened, she looked up and saw a pair of cold eyes on the tree staring at her!
With the sound of Ruo's clothes turning, the figure fell straight in front of him, and the traffickers who had not gone far immediately returned when they heard the sound, and shouted in unison after seeing the figure.
"Boss!"
Chu Xinyun was shocked, and by the afterglow of the torch, she saw that this person was a man with a deep scar on his face, and his face was full of anger and looked very difficult to mess with.
No wonder those guys were a little slow when they mentioned the boss.
"Hey, isn't this guy right here!" A sharp-eyed trafficker saw Chu Xinyun and immediately shouted.
The scar man glared at him, and the man suddenly shuddered and shrunk his neck to speak.
I only heard him say coldly: "I asked you to come and look for people, and people couldn't find them even under their noses. I've been eating for nothing these days, haven't I?!"
In the face of such questioning, they didn't dare to refute, firstly, they were afraid of this scar man, and secondly, this is also a fact, who knew that this little lady was so bold that she hid behind them all the way.....
Chu Xinyun swallowed and asked, "You are their boss?"
The scar man glanced at her, saw the blood stains on her clothes, and asked, "You hurt Li Si?"
"Yes, since you want to do this business, you must be prepared to fight for your life, the rabbit is in a hurry and bites!" Hmph, a rabbit bites people in a hurry, it's rare to see a little lady like you. The Scar Man walked over to her as he spoke, his slender eyes filled with indifference.
"But I don't need such a lone maverick to do this business!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly shot at her neck, but before he could get any more, he was cut off by a dagger!
The scar man took a few steps back, looked around vigilantly and shouted, "What person!" Come out!"
Chu Xinyun thought that she was dead, but she didn't expect things to take a turn so suddenly, and suddenly she was sent to a familiar embrace a few meters away.
Sniffing the familiar smell, Chu Xinyun was a little unsure: "Xiao kill?"
"It's me." Xiao Shu's voice was a little low: "I'm sorry it's late." ”
Chu Xinyun suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, shook his head and said, "It's okay, you came at the right time, but you met the woman who came down the mountain to report the news?"
"Well, it's settled."
The two hugged each other as if there was no one beside them, which made the scar man very annoyed, and immediately said angrily: "What are you guys still watching there, come over and help immediately!" Originally, I didn't plan to do it today, but now the situation is not bloodless!
Under his order, the traffickers who were originally hiding on the side had to come out hard, and with the beating of the torches, several pitch-black figures appeared in the empty surroundings at some point......
Xiao Shu looked at him coldly, and wrote lightly: "Don't do it yet?"
"Poof!" With the sound of the blade cutting her throat, one by one the figures fell to the ground and died without knowing it, Xiao Shu covered her eyes and whispered: "Don't look, everything has me." ”
"Hmm...."Chu Xinyun leaned his chin on his shoulder and answered vaguely, listening to the sound of fighting in his ears, some doubts slowly floated in his heart.
When did he get a helper? And these people look like their strength is not bad ....
After half a cup of tea, there was no sound outside, and Xiao Wu counted the number of people and replied: "Boss, there is a leader, can you chase it?"
Xiao Shu shook his head: "Secretly tracking, it is estimated that the hostages in the courtyard have been taken away, try to find out his whereabouts, and strive to catch all the traffickers." ”
"Yes!"
With a few sounds of breaking the air, the silent night returned to its previous calm.
Chu Xinyun struggled to break away from his arms, stared at his eyes and said word by word, "Have you recovered your memory?"
"Xiao Yun, I ....."
"If it weren't for today's events, how long would you be going to hide it?!"
Xiao Shu was a little anxious, and hurriedly said: "Xiao Yun, I didn't recover my memory, just now those people found it by themselves, they said that I was the leader of the secret guard appointed by His Majesty, because I was injured by a sneak attack after investigating an incident, but I have no memory of this, so I never agreed to go back with them, and I can't find you today, so I used them... Xiao Yun, you have to believe me!"
Chu Xinyun sneered: "How do you want me to trust you?" I told you before that there is anything you can tell me at any time, but what about you? Hiding it for fear that I would know, and using this to trick me into marrying... Xiao Kill, I really underestimate you!"
She took a few steps back and looked at the familiar and strange person in front of her, thinking about all the things before, she couldn't help but feel a pain in her heart, she had been mentally prepared for all kinds of things, but at this moment she was hit by this white lie.
She hates deception, even in any form.
"Xiao Yun ......" Xiao Shu stood in the distance and looked at her at a loss, begging: "I really didn't mean to hide this from you, I just ....."
Chu Xinyun suddenly felt a little tired, she waved her hand: "You don't have to explain anymore, since they have found you,
Then go back with them, life in the capital is much more comfortable than mine. ”
"It's as if it never happened, from now on you take your Yangguan Road and I will take my single-plank bridge." After saying that, she held back the tears that burst out of her eyes, turned to look into the distance, and left.
