Chapter 35: Clean up the portal
"Master Shen, where does the little one dare to lie to you again, this is the truth......" Yan Yu cried and begged with a sad face.
"Really?" Shen Shichu's eyes were cold, and the end of the sword moved forward a few points.
Yan Yu immediately felt a tingling pain in his throat, he snorted, but he didn't dare to hide, and said in a trembling voice: "Shen, Shen Ye, if I say it all, can you let me live?" ”
"It depends on the mood." Shen Shichu said expressionlessly, he was in a bad mood now, and he wouldn't be better for a while.
Yan Yu cautiously pushed away the sword against his throat with his fingertips: "I did come here to report the news, Guogong and Hule often have business dealings, and they communicate openly and secretly. ”
"What business?"
"That's it...... It was we who sold weapons and grain to Hul and asked him to buy them at a price higher than the market price. ”
"Hule is not a fool, how can he do such a thing as a high-priced acquisition?"
"Hey...... Shen Ye ......" Yan Yu hesitated for a moment and continued: "What he wants is the best grain produced in the north of the Great Jin Dynasty, and those weapons are all made of fine iron......
Shen Shichu was furious when he heard this, the army that guards the border all the year round still doesn't use the best fine iron, and they eat some full-stomached coarse grains, and these things that are related to the country's capital and the lifeblood of the army, Xiao Qifeng used them to sell to Hule!
"However, the last few transactions have not been very smooth, Hule took the goods but refused to give money, I came to ask him for money this time. Before leaving, Guogong instructed that if he happily gave the money, I would disclose the news of Shen Jiajun to him......"
Seeing that Shen Shichu was silent, Yan Yu stopped.
"Go on!"
He raised his eyes instantly, and the cold gaze made his heart tremble.
"Yes......" Yan Yu shuddered and swallowed: "As a result, Hule still didn't give me the money, and let people beat me out, I couldn't get angry for a while, and I really felt that I shouldn't reveal your whereabouts, so I ...... Master Shen, I really didn't do anything wrong with you......"
"It's not me you're sorry for, it's the people of Dajin!" Shen Shichu shouted coldly, took out two tokens from his cuffs and threw them in front of him: "Tell me, what's going on here at the post station." ”
One of them is a symbol of the identity of the Xiao family's secret guard, and the other ......
Yan Yu picked it up and looked at it, "This is ...... Hule's token to Lin Qiuyu ......"
Lin Qiuyu is also the person of the Xiao family's secret guard. Shen Shichu withdrew the token and took a closer look, then raised his eyelids to look at Yan Yu without saying a word.
It seemed that he was not satisfied with his answer, Yan Yu hurriedly added a few more words: "This is to make it easy for us to enter and exit the ranger camp, Shen Ye, look, here, a flute is engraved, and this token is exclusive to the Xiao family's secret guard." ”
This flute is really hidden, and if you don't look closely, it's exactly the same as the Ranger's token.
The horse's hooves stepped on the "flute", Shen Shichu's eyes narrowed, heh, this implication is really ironic!
"So, the post station was done by Lin Qiuyu?"
Yan Yu nodded: "When he and Hule were trading the last batch of goods, they were accidentally seen by the pavilion and others at the post station, so they ......."
"So up and down the whole station, dozens of lives, not a single one is left!" Shen Shichu clenched Yan Yu's collar violently, and his face under anger was faintly smiling.
This laugh suddenly made him creepy...... Yan Yu held Shen Shichu's wrist with trembling hands, and begged for mercy urgently: "Master Shen, it's not me, it's not me who did it, it's Lin Qiuyu......"
"Where is he now?" He took a deep breath, and his eyes were cold.
"It's in a cave in the middle of the mountain......"
Very good, then he will clean up the portal for Dajin today! Shen Shichu let go of his hand, turned around and walked towards the door.
Yan Yu breathed a heavy sigh of relief, he thought he was saved.
"General?!" Lin Shu, who had been waiting on the side from the beginning to the end, couldn't bear it: "Just let him go?" ”
Shen Shichu opened the door, and a light penetrated through the floating fine dust, shining right on Yan Yu's body.
Outside the door, there was the lobby of the post station, and in the cracks in the floor, the dark red seemed to be scabbed.
The tragedy of that day is clear.
"Lin Shu," he said lightly, "kill him." ”
"Shen Ye...... Spare your life, Shen Ye......"
When Yan Yu heard this, the hair on his body stood up, and a coolness rushed to his limbs, his heart beat fast, and he subconsciously got up and wanted to get out of the door.
Lin Shu's sword was faster, and with a "swish", it pierced through Yan Yu's chest in an instant.
"Uh......" Blood kept coming out of his mouth, Yan Yu sprayed blood bubbles, his body twitched a few times, and he slid down limply: "Shen, Shen Shichu...... You ......"
"Hmph," Lin Shu drew back his sword: "This kind of person, it's not a pity to die!" ”
The matter in the south finally came to an end, and Shen Shichu and Lin Shu also rushed back to Jinling non-stop.
At the same time as they stepped into the city gate, the news of the southern border also reached Xiao Qifeng's ears.
Guogong Mansion, the golden plaque is shining.
"What?" Xiao Qifeng's five fingers tightly clasped the handle of the chair, looking incredulous.
