Chapter 182: A Thousand Cuts is Not an Exaggeration
Xingye County is located in the southeast of the Northern Jin Dynasty, which is a famous and wealthy place in the Northern Jin Dynasty, and it is also a rare land of fish and rice on the mainland of Lechuan.
The climate here is moderate, the products are abundant, from the county lord, from the common people, as long as you are diligent, every year will be full of money, no one is hungry.
is such a place, out of the Xingye Temple.
With such a big movement, the county magistrate dared to nest in the government and not come out, if there was no one behind him, who would believe it.
When I entered the county seat, I saw that the shops on the street had been closed, and a few pedestrians scattered on the street had no choice but to come out to buy things, but the shops were closed and returned empty-handed.
Nangong Hao sent someone to book the inn in advance, but Rao is like this, the door of the inn has been closed, leaving only a small door to enter and exit.
Jiang Ziyan's carriage entered the backyard from the back door.
The person who opened the inn was an old man in his forties and fifties, and when he saw Nangong Hao and his party coming in, he asked if there was anyone behind, so he ordered the man to close the small door as well.
Xia Yang booked the inn in advance, and now Xia Yang is negotiating at the counter.
"Dare to ask the guest officer, do you see any scenery on the road?" The innkeeper also seemed to be a gossip, and took the time to ask questions.
"I don't know what you're referring to?" Xia Yang knew that the innkeeper was asking about Xingye Temple, so he deliberately pretended to be deaf and dumb.
"The guest officer didn't know, in the morning, there was thunder outside the county, some people said that the gods were angry, and the thunder fell down, and the Xingye Temple was split, and all the monks inside were hit by the thunder and lost their lives, and the Xingye Temple was also burned by the heavenly fire."
"We were still hundreds of miles away in the morning, and Xingye Temple was not on the side of the road, so we really didn't see it."
Xia Yang dressed as a dart head, looking like a Jianghu man who traveled south and north.
The little people below all know that the county magistrate dares to sit firmly in the county office, not to mention his collusion with foreign races, just this attitude of treating people's livelihood as a mustard is worthy of being a parent official.
Before dawn, Xia Yang urged the inn to prepare meals, and everyone hurriedly ate the meal, and when they heard the news that the city gate was opened, they hurried on the road.
The innkeeper didn't understand a little, and in the past, there were jewelers who passed by here, and they all set off at three poles in the morning, in order to seek peace. Today, the jewelry merchant does not look very old, probably just taken over, has no experience, and the elders do not know how to take it.
What the innkeeper didn't know was that last night, something happened in the county office, and when someone found out, the city would be closed, wouldn't it be troublesome at that time?
If it weren't for Nangong Hao's fear of revealing his identity and alarming the traitor in front, he would have taken down this dog official yesterday and escorted him to the capital.
Now I can only hurriedly cut off the exposed wings, as for the one hidden in the shadows, I want him to be arrogant for a while, and when he has his hands free, he will slowly clean up.
When the county government's catcher came to order, he found that the county master was missing, and at the same time, the master and a few catchers and subordinates who were usually close to the county master disappeared together.
This is a major case that has never been seen since the founding of the Northern Jin Dynasty, which alarmed the government and the opposition for a while, and Emperor Qingyuan was furious, and sent a new county magistrate to set the date for solving the case, and ordered the county magistrate to find the missing people.
It's just that this case dragged on for many years and was not solved, and finally it was closed.
Nangong Hao and the others went out of the county seat, went straight to the northeast, day and night, and at noon the next day, they came to the foot of a mountain.
This mountain is called the Golden Mountain, and it is said that it is a mountain, but it is actually just a small mound, and the people here have never seen a big mountain, so they call it a mountain.
Judging from the map, here is the junction of Zaoqiang County and Xinye County, and it is a day and a night road away from the two county seats.
These thieves sometimes do something else to make a living, because they are all petty fights, and no lives are harmed, and the two county lords run towards the principle that the people do not sue the officials and do not hold them accountable, and more things are better than less things, so they turn a blind eye and tolerate the existence of these thieves.
In recent days, the women in the vicinity have been missing, suspected to be committed by the gangsters on the Golden Mountain, and the people in the vicinity have spontaneously organized themselves to negotiate with these thieves several times, but they have not been able to get any benefits, but no official has come forward to suppress the bandits.
In order to let Ye Yu Ye Chan have more contact and communication with these guards, Jiang Ziyan drove the two of them to ride horses, and Nangong Hao got into the carriage.
Ye Yu Yecicada disliked Jiang Ziyan all the way, a good cousin who forgot our cousin, if she has the prince, she doesn't want us, so sad.
There is nothing to complain about when you think about it, Miss Cousin has just been newly married and accompanied the prince to go out to fight, others are newlyweds are on their honeymoon, Miss Cousin is not to mention the honeymoon, and those who sleep in the open are not as good as ordinary people's brides.
In the carriage, with the light of the night pearl, looking at the marching map, Jiang Ziyan and Nangong Hao rejected the battle plan countless times, and finally decided to use the old plan, let the villains snatch Jiang Ziyan and Ye Yu Yecicada, and follow them up the mountain to take the bandits here.
Everyone ate in a hurry, Jiang Ziyan and Ye Yu Ye Chan changed back into the coarse cloth clothes they had worn, dressed up as the little daughter-in-law who returned to their parents' house, and went up the hill.
The hill is not high, Jiang Ziyan and the others walked fast, and soon reached the top of the mountain, why didn't they see the thief?
Pretending to be tired, he stood on the top of the hill and looked around, and saw a house looming in the bushes not far away.
These villains are really bold, obviously they are traitors and deserve to be imprisoned, but they can live happily here, and today they bumped into Miss Ben's hands, and they will definitely tell you to go to Lord Yama to be happy.
No matter what dynasty or generation, people hate these people deeply, they have hands and feet, they don't work, they specialize in this effortless livelihood, do you think that other people's money is blown by the wind?
The three of them stood back to back, and for a while no one came, so they continued to walk forward in order not to startle the snake.
Not far away is a forest of thorns, and the middle of the road is blocked by some stray branches.
Originally, Ye Yu was in front and the leafhopper was behind, Jiang Ziyan walked in the middle, and when he saw the branch in the middle of the road, Ye Yu stepped forward to pull the branch, and the leafhopper also took a few steps forward, and Jiang Ziyan was at the end.
"Which one doesn't have long eyes, put the branch in the middle of the road." Ye Yu muttered while tugging at the branches.
At this time in the past, Jiang Ziyan would definitely say a few words and laugh at it, Ye Yu didn't hear Jiang Ziyan speak, and habitually looked at the place where Jiang Ziyan was standing just now, where was Jiang Ziyan's figure.
"Where's Miss Cousin?" Ye Yu asked the leafhopper.
Ye Chan turned around, and Miss Ming was standing behind her, and at this time there was no one left.
"Miss Table! Miss Table!! Miss Table!! The two men no longer paid attention to the branches and cried out.
Nangong Hao and the guards were originally not far from them, the two of them shouted loudly, and the sound of the field spread far away, Nangong Hao heard the shouting and urged the horse to rush over.
"Miss Cousin is gone." Seeing Nangong Hao, Ye Yu Ye Cicada burst into tears.
"Miss Cousin was standing right behind us, and in the blink of an eye she was gone."
Nangong Hao jumped off the horse and looked carefully around the place where Jiang Ziyan was standing, and could vaguely see that there was a three-foot square lawn that was a little different from the surrounding grass.
I'm afraid it's the same as the organ of Xingye Temple.
ordered everyone to leave this vicinity, and ordered Xia Yang to take two guards to quickly whip up the horses and transfer troops to the military camp three hundred miles away.
This den is underground, and in this wilderness, I don't know how many people are below, for the sake of their daughter-in-law, it is not important to risk themselves, and it is obviously not wise to let the brothers follow the adventure.
Then, he sent people to a nearby farmhouse to buy shovels, and a group of guards used the most stupid method to dig three feet into the ground in the place where Jiang Ziyan disappeared, and they had to find the entrance to the underground.
Jiang Ziyan was standing behind Ye Yu Yecicada at that time, and he wanted to step forward to help pull those branches, but he didn't want to sink under his feet, but before he could shout, the person went underground.
It still fell into a large net, but it was two meters high from the ground, and it was shouted loudly, even if it was not heard on the ground.
Jiang Ziyan sat on the net, looked around to see if there was anyone, and didn't know what this was.
Suddenly, a laugh rang out.
Torches were lit all around, and the whole ground was as bright as day.
Those big men with torches grinned and approached Jiang Ziyan.
Jiang Ziyan didn't say a word, and let them drag her down from the Internet, and two of the big men grabbed Jiang Ziyan's two arms like a great enemy, and escorted Jiang Ziyan to make two turns along the corridor and came to a spacious hall.
Jiang Ziyan looked up and saw the first chair, the chair was covered with a tiger skin, and a person stood facing the tiger skin.
Next to him stood a big man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, with bare arms and a bright three-foot long knife in his arms.
"Lord, this man has been caught." Two big men reported to the court.
In fact, this person should have known that Jiang Ziyan was coming in, but he just pretended to be deep.
Jiang Ziyan snorted coldly, something that can't be put on the table! Obviously, this place of filth and dirt can't come out of the bright and upright character.
"Jiang Ziyan," this person actually knew who he was, "Aren't you very capable, burning the royal court of Southern Xinjiang, forcing the princess of Southern Xinjiang to the sea, and destroying the king of Southern Xinjiang, so majestic." ”
The man turned around, his face was masked, and he couldn't see what he looked like. However, looking at the appearance, there are three points similar to Nangong Zhi.
Seeing Jiang Ziyan standing there calmly, this person already admired it in his heart, but Jiang Ziyan was his enemy, and he couldn't feel a little pity in his heart, but his hatred was even stronger.
"What's so good about Nangong Hao, it's worth your hard work for him?" The man continued.
Does this have anything to do with you? Miss Cousin loves Nangong Hao and is angry with you.
Jiang Ziyan just thought about it like this, and didn't say it, before he figured out his opponent, Jiang Ziyan didn't want to mess up his position.
The man walked down the steps step by step and stood in front of Jiang Ziyan.
pinched Jiang Ziyan's chin with his hand and said, "That's why Nangong Hao, the cold-faced Yama, will fall in love with a woman like you." After speaking, he threw Jiang Ziyan aside.
Jiang Ziyan's calm face did not show joy and anger, but it angered the masked man.
"What kind of pretending to be high, it is really the same grade as Nangong Hao's kid."
mentioned Nangong Hao several times, could it be that this person knows Nangong Hao? Even with Nangong Hao is an enemy?
Speaking of Nangong Hao's enemies, there are too many, people who have been fighting in the killing field all the year round, there is no soul under the knife that day, and that soul has no parents, wives and children, if someone comes to seek revenge, it is too normal.
Someone came to Nangong Hao in front of Nangong Hao to compete with Nangong Hao's real sword and gun, if Nangong Hao was invincible and killed, I am afraid that I would have to admire this person's martial arts, and now he is cowering underground, and he is colluding with other races to kill his brothers and sisters in his own mother's family, which is unforgivable.
What Jiang Ziyan hates most is that these people kidnap local women, these innocent women have offended them, and in order to satisfy themselves, they don't care about the life and death of others, even if they are cut with a thousand knives, it is not an exaggeration.
