Yan Xiaowei squatted on the ground, picked up a silver ingot, put it in his mouth, and bit it lightly with his teeth, and when he took it down again, there was a distinct tooth mark on the silver ingot. She looked at the two sacks of scattered silver, and pursed the corners of her lips: "Rong Xiu, now that the silver has been found, what should I do next?" Do you want to arrest someone? ”

Rong Xiu blinked, his lips pursed into a straight line, he thought for a moment, moved his lips and was about to speak. Suddenly, there was a succession of footsteps from above, creaking the wooden door overhead.

Yan Xiaowei was startled, and hurriedly grabbed Rong Xiu's arm!

At this time, if someone comes down, they will definitely arrest the two of them! What can I do?

was in a hurry, Rong Xiu suddenly leaned over and grabbed her arm, stuffed her whole person into the hole of the secret passage, and hid it. He was leaning against the corner of the wall, pressing his sword with his hand, on high alert, like a leopard ready to pounce on its prey.

However, as the minutes passed, the people above did not come down.

Mrs. Wang's voice came down from above, and it seemed that she was trying to persuade someone: "I told you a long time ago that you should not do this, but you just won't listen." Now what? The Nine Emperors and the princess are staying in the mansion and not leaving, looking like they won't give up until they catch you! Now Wang Jinsheng has taken your portrait and is wanted by the whole county to arrest you and Song Xiaohe, and now the whole county is eyeliner. You say, with such a large sum of silver, how can you run? ”

Then a young man's voice came from above, a little low: "Heh, what if there is a portrait, Lao Tzu is wandering around outside every day these days, who recognizes me?" Don't you know Wang Jinsheng for so many years? What else would he do but flamboyant patting? Do you really think I'm going to take him seriously? Hmph, besides, what kind of Nine Emperors and Princess Ruixiang are still children who haven't grown all their hair! You want to fight with me, and you're a little tender! ”

He paused, as if sighing: "Honghua, I know what you're worried about, but, I, Song Dahai, have been preparing for nearly a year in order to get these two thousand taels of silver, and now it's finally in hand, do you want me to return it as it is?" Oh, don't be naïve, do you think that if I really return the money and turn myself in, they will open up to me? ”

Hearing his words, Mrs. Wang Honghua was obviously more anxious and anxious: "I said, why don't you understand what I mean?" You said that now that the Nine Emperors know about this, as long as he wants to, it won't be long before the capital will know about it. If the above really wants to vigorously investigate this case, do you think you can still run? Why did you say you didn't listen to people in the first place? How many times have I told you not to use these improper methods to get money, but you just don't listen, you say, if something happens to you, my only relative in this world will be gone! ”

She suddenly choked up: "You said how will I live in the future!" ”

Perhaps because of her sudden crying, Song Dahai was silent for a moment, and her mood was a little unstable when she spoke again.

His voice was obviously trembling: "No matter what, I have to fight!" You said if something happened to me, you wouldn't be able to live. But have you ever wondered what kind of mood I have been feeling? You are my own sister, how can I watch you being pinched by others, being manipulated to be a female spy next to others every day? ”

He wiped the tears from his face and cleared his throat slightly: "I have contacted your chief, and they said that as long as I help them raise two thousand taels of silver, they will return your roster to you." From now on, you will be a free man, you don't have to try your best to collect important information about Yanggu County every day, and you don't have to follow Wang Jinsheng and worry about being discovered all day long. Brother, all of this is for your own good, silly girl! ”

As soon as these words came out, Yan Xiaoyun and Rong Xiu, who were eavesdropping on the two of them, were taken aback.

Since they had just discovered this secret passage and the two thousand taels of silver hidden in it, the two of them had always thought that this Song Dahai and Mrs. Wang Honghua were together, and they had joined forces to deceive the silver in the county office.

But it wasn't until now that the two of them figured out that this Mrs. Wang Honghua had been planted by a mysterious force by Wang Jinsheng to steal the female spies in Yanggu County. And the reason why this Song Dahai came up with such a trick to defraud such a large sum of money was originally to redeem himself for Honghua!

Yan Xiaowei was surprised by the shocking secret she overheard, and suddenly felt that her ankles were cold. It was like some rope was entangled, sliding between her ankles.

She reached out and wiped it on her ankle, but she didn't want to, but her fingers touched something slippery and cold.

Because of the darkness, she couldn't see what it was, so she had to grab it with her hands, but the thing actually hooked, and her whole body wrapped her wrist tightly.

Yan Xiaoyu suspiciously took the thing to his eyes, and then poured on the wooden door. The sparse candlelight came down, and I saw that the thing was spitting letters to her in the dark with a pair of green eyes!

It turned out that it was nothing else, it was a three-foot-long flower snake with a cold body around it!

Yan Xiaowei couldn't bear it anymore, threw the thing to the side, and shouted out loudly: "Snake, snake!" ”

The sharp scream caught Rong Xiu's attention, and he hurriedly ran over and removed the dagger in his boots. The first pulled out and waved his hand. Just a blink of an eye, that dagger. The head was nailed to the seven inches of the flower snake, and I saw that it kept twisting and rolling its body and wanted to struggle, but after all, it couldn't help the cold dagger. The first one, eventually spread on the ground, motionless.

Because the riot caused by this flower snake was only restrained in an instant, but even if it died, looking at its body, Yan Xiaowei couldn't help but feel numb from head to toe, and the cold and slippery touch just now seemed to remain on her ankles and wrists.

However, she forgot. Her scream just now had already disturbed Song Dahai and Mrs. Wang's red flower across a wooden door.

Sure enough, the above voices stopped abruptly, and with a "bang", the wooden door was split from above, and large pieces of wood flew down from the top of their heads with debris.

Rong Xiu pulled Yan Xiaoyan aside, shielded her head with his arms, and blocked the falling things with his body, his eyes met with Song Dahai above through the scattered wood.

I saw Song Dahai frowning, and out of nowhere, he found a bow and crossbow, and the arrow was facing the heads of Rong Xiu and Yan Xiaoyun below, and said angrily: "Who is the person below, and how long have you been eavesdropping there?" Acquaintances hurry up and report to Lao Tzu, otherwise Lao Tzu will be welcome! ”

This Yan Xiaowei quietly opened her eyes from Rong Xiu's arms, and saw that under the faint and dim candlelight, Song Dahai was holding a bow and crossbow, her face was pale, and her eyes were fierce on her and Rong Xiu's faces.

Even though there were many subordinates placed by Rong Xiu and Baili Yesu outside, there was no way to contact them in this small secret passage and basement.

Now the relationship between Song Dahai and Mrs. Wang's Honghua is known to the two, and the whereabouts of the silver have also been found by the two. In case Song Dahai jumped over the wall in a hurry and wanted to kill someone, she couldn't guarantee that the two of them could really restrain this Song Dahai. Therefore, he could only find a way to stabilize him and Mrs. Wang before making plans.

Yan Xiaoyun quietly pulled Larong Xiu's body, poked his head out of his arms, and raised his hands at Song Dahai, who might be unscrupulous at any time because of anger: "My name is Yan Xiaoyi, and now I live in the palace of the prince with the Nine Emperor Princes and Princess Ruixiang, I think you have heard of it." ”

The meaning of these words is obvious, and the two of them have been listening to it for a while.

Song Dahai's eyes narrowed, and he looked at her dangerously: "Then how did you find here?" ”

Of course, Yan Xiaowei didn't dare to say that she had followed Mrs. Wang all the way, so she had to pull Rong Xiu to block her.

"I went south this time to find my fiancé, but I didn't expect my fiancé to hear the news of my southward trip and quickly look for him, and he arrived in Yanggu County tonight. The two of us hadn't seen each other for a long time, and I was thinking of taking advantage of the moonlight to find a place to talk about my heart. Unexpectedly, when I walked near the rockery, I accidentally found this secret passage, and I felt curious for a while and walked in to take a look. But I didn't expect ......"

Before she finished speaking, the words were picked up by Song Dahai: "But I didn't expect to eavesdrop on our shocking secret, didn't you?" ”

As he spoke, he put his hand on the frame of the wooden door, and the whole person flew down and jumped down, just in front of Yan Xiaoyun and Rong Xiu!

He took a small step forward, and the arrow in his hand landed on Rong Xiu's lower abdomen. The hand holding the arrow body was full of green tendons, as if with a little force, the arrow would pierce Rong Xiu's body.

In such a short period of time, two thoughts quickly flashed in Yan Xiaoyi's mind.

First, the space here is small, although Rong Xiu's martial arts are strong, but this Song Dahai's skills are obviously not an idle person, and it may be difficult to win it with Rong Xiu's own strength. And there is such a drag oil bottle like her who doesn't know martial arts, if she hits it hard, there is a chance that she will be fine. Nine is to suffer. If she loses, she and Rong Xiu may be injured, not to mention, the clues that have been found with great difficulty will be broken, and the two thousand taels of silver may be transferred quickly, which is really shocking.

Second, Mrs. Wang Honghua has obviously not been doing things for that mysterious force for a day or two, rather than fighting with them rashly, it is better to find a way to stabilize the two of them and dig out more favorable clues from the ideas of the two of them. Finally, dig out the details of the mysterious force!

Thinking so, she hurriedly dodged in front of Rong Xiu, and reached out to hold the arrow that was braving the cold in her hand.

Although Song Dahai's hand holding the arrow did not move, her hand was still instantly cut by the sharp blade of the arrow.

Blood fell down her palm, drop by drop, and dripped to the ground.

Several black-purple marks were immediately imprinted on the originally gray ground, although they were not large, but they were very obvious.

Rong Xiu's brows tightened, and his lips pursed into a straight line: "Xiao, what are you doing here!" Loosen the arrowheads! He wanted to reach out and take her hand down, but he was afraid that if he accidentally touched her, the arrow would scratch her hand.

Yan Xiaoyun didn't pay attention to Rong Xiu, but quietly looked at Song Dahai in front of him: "The two of us didn't mean to listen to your secrets, we just happened to find this place." The current situation does not look very favorable for either of us. Why don't we sit down and have a good talk? ”

When she said this, she should have been quite nervous. However, for some reason, at this moment, Rong Xiu's hand on her waist was constantly transmitting the heat on his body, which suddenly calmed her panicked heart.

Song Dahai was not as calm as her, and was even angered by her words: "What are you talking about? I don't have anything to talk to you about! Now that you know Lao Tzu's secret, Lao Tzu's life is gone. In order to save Lao Tzu's life, correspondingly, you have to die! If you're weird, blame your curiosity! Who made your curiosity make you discover this secret passage and walk in with you! ”

He poked the arrow in his hand forward, and the flesh in Yan Xiaoyi's hand was twisted, and he snorted.

Rong Xiu's eyes were quick and he hurriedly grabbed Song Dahai's hand and folded it to the side!

Song Dahai was restrained with one hand, and his face was red in pain, but he still endured it and didn't say a word. The other hand touched his waist, and out of nowhere he found a sword!

Who knew that he was just about to make a move, and Rong Xiu's knee curled just right on his wrist holding the sword. He felt a pain in his hand, and when he came back to his senses, the knife that was still in his hand just now had changed hands and was placed on his neck. The sharp blade was close to the skin on his neck, as if the slightest breath would cut his throat!

Rong Xiu forced Song Dahai's people into a corner, squinted dangerously, and the dark tide in his eyes was surging: "To be honest, I warn you not to take yourself too seriously!" My Rong Xiu ancestor has been practicing martial arts for generations in his last life, and he wants to plot against me, you are still tender! ”

When Song Dahai heard Rong Xiu's name, he was suddenly stunned, and his lips trembled a little: "Rong Xiu, are you from the Rong family?" ”

Rong Xiu tilted his head sideways and glanced at him coldly: "What, doesn't it look like it?" ”

Song Dahai swallowed nervously and spat, not knowing what to say.

Mrs. Wang was on it, holding the wooden frame left after the shattering of the wooden door, and looked anxiously at the situation below. Seeing that Song Dahai was forced into the corner of the wall with a knife at this moment, he was even more panicked!

She anxiously circled around the entrance of the passage a few times, and suddenly squatted down, her whole body fell to the ground, probed down from the entrance of the passage, and begged Rong Xiu and Yan Xiaoyun uncontrollably: "You let go of my brother, if you have anything to say, let's sit down and talk about it!" ”

Seeing that Rong Xiu didn't mean to let go, her anxious gaze fell on Yan Xiaoyi's body: "Miss Yan, didn't you just say that you wanted to have a good chat?" You let Rong Gongzi let go of my brother, let's sit down and have a good chat, okay! He's doing this for me! As he spoke, he suddenly felt sad, and hurriedly raised his cuffs to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes.

Yan Xiaowei turned her head and glanced at Rong Xiu, and seeing that he had no objection, she licked the corners of her dry lips: "It's okay to talk, but the air in the basement of this secret passage is not good, and it's dark, why don't we go up and talk about it!" Actually, she said that she was a little careful about this. Outside this Song Dahai's house, there were many people from Rong Xiu and the county government who were ambushed. If something happens after going up, it would be more convenient for her and Rong Xiu to call someone over.

Mrs. Wang obviously didn't know what she was thinking, and seeing that Yan Xiaoyi agreed, she hurriedly moved the ladder above and put it down.

In order to prevent Song Dahai and Honghua from playing any tricks, Yan Xiaowei climbed up the ladder first. Seeing that there was nothing abnormal in the house, Rong Xiu forced Song Dahai with a Japanese knife and escorted him to climb up.

The furnishings in the room were simple, with only a bed and an old wardrobe in the room, and a table of eight immortals surrounded by four chairs.

Mrs. Wang made a "please" gesture to Yan Xiaoyi: "Miss Yan, sit down!" Seeing that Yan Xiaoyi sat down, she begged Rong Xiu in a low voice: "Since we both plan to sit down and have a good chat, Rong Gongzi, can you take your knife first?" ”

Seeing Rong Xiu's frowning, she hurriedly added: "I promise that my brother won't do anything to you!" ”

Rong Xiu's cold gaze fell on Song Dahai, took a quiet look, and finally took the sword back.

Rong Xiu glanced at the two of them, and tapped his right index finger on the table. Suddenly, his body was like a chair back, and the whole person was a little lazy: "Do you know why I listened to you and put down the knife so easily?" ”

Seeing that Mrs. Wang looked puzzled, he hooked the corners of his lips: "Because the outside of this house is full of my people, as long as I snap my fingers, you can't escape even if you have wings!" So, I don't need to do it at all! ”

When Mrs. Wang heard this, she immediately became anxious, and stood up suddenly, and the chair rubbed on the ground with her movements, making a loud and piercing sound.

She shook her hand and pointed at the tip of Rong Xiu's nose: "Okay, it turns out that you have already planned to surround us!" Trick us out of the dark passage so you can catch us, won't you? ”

Rong Xiu leaned on the back of the chair, reached out and took Yan Xiaoyi's hand that was stabbed by the arrow, and put it on his knee. Then he reached out and tore off a strip of cloth from the hem of his clothes, and while lowering his eyes to help Yan Xiaowei bandage, he hooked his lips and chuckled: "Of course not, according to the number of people and horses I arranged outside this house, if I wanted to catch it, I would have caught it a long time ago." I just want to tell you that now that the outside is surrounded, you can't run if you want to, so it's better to tell you what you know honestly. Perhaps, I can be magnanimous and forgive you for your mistakes. Otherwise, the people who are waiting outside will be at my disposal at any time! ”

Mrs. Wang clenched her teeth: "You...... Is this a threat to me? ”

Rong Xiu smiled lightly: "How can it be a threat?" I'm giving you both a chance to atone for your sins! When I was in the secret passage just now, although I just swept it in a hurry, I found that you didn't move a penny of the two thousand taels of silver at all, as long as you explain the whole story of the matter, and then return the amount of money that was swindled, then I can consider accepting a condition to you! ”
