In the past two days, people have been sent to the foot of the mountain several times, but they have not been able to find them, as if they had fallen from the top of the mountain and disappeared into thin air.

There were no bones left.

Feng Yin had time to go down the mountain to see it in person, so Yuan Jiu came to report, and Thirteen said that he had something to explain.

Waiting for the wind to rush over, Thirteen's injuries had been bandaged and needed to be recuperated, and he made it clear what he had told Yuan Jiu to go once, but only retrieved the backup in the vase.

The booklet under the pillow has been taken.

Fortunately, the backup in the vase is still there.

There are only Yuan Jiu and Thirteen in the room at the moment, plus three of them, and only the three of them have seen the content.

Feng Yin watched the kung fu of a cup of tea, and he had the answer in his heart.

"Yuan Jiu, take all the butchers in Xiudu City to five hundred meters in front of the mountain in the western suburbs."

His eyebrows were cold, and his eyes were cautious, and he suddenly said: "Mobilize the shadow guards in the city, and those who don't obey will be arrested." ”

"In addition, go to Penglai Yuan and let Tempan Huan find someone to ......"

Yuan Jiu nodded, should go, go out to do errands.

After half an hour's effort, everyone had been taken from the city by Yuan Jiu.

Feng Yin was already waiting at the foot of the mountain, and he rode a horse, his robe was like a flag, and he was sassy in the wind, and his eyes were cut with a knife that made people's hearts cold.

"This king has looked for you, and there are only a few questions I hope you will answer well, whether it is right or wrong, you can figure it out for yourself."

There are not many butchers in Xiudu City, there are not too many and no less, about twenty people.

The people standing in front of him now, who met him, felt that for the first time in his life, there were so many people.

Feng Yin gestured to Yuan Jiu, and Yuan Jiu stepped forward and asked, "Those who have lived in Xiudu City for more than ten years are listed." ”

"If anyone lies, and the person who reports it proves that he lied, he will be immediately killed on the spot, and the person who reported it will be rewarded with 100 taels of gold."

Yuan Jiu's voice was like a sharp blade, and the butchers looked at each other.

The people who were assigned were stumbling, and they were soon divided into two groups.

Feng Yin grabbed his horse between his legs and glanced at the other side of the two groups.

Some people cowered and didn't dare to take a step, looking at the row of unsheathed knives behind them, and stood in line.

Suddenly, someone came out to report it.

"That Liu butcher, he lied! He's lived here longer than I am, and just by looking at the calluses on his hands, I know he can't have been for ten years. ”

The person who was reported was the Liu butcher, he panicked, and as soon as he was exposed, he immediately turned around and ran towards the foot of the mountain.

I saw a flash of the knife, and a knife was pierced through the chest of the person who was informed, and he covered his chest and fell, bleeding all over the ground.

The voice of the wind was as cold as an ice cellar: "Reward! ”

Hearing this, the people behind the butchers suddenly held a wooden box, opened it, and the golden light was shining, it was a hundred taels of gold.

Their eyes lit up and they whispered.

"Let the deceiver be killed; Whistleblowers should be rewarded. The rewards and punishments are clear, the king is not deliberately embarrassed, as long as he answers well, those who appear afterwards will be rewarded! ”

"In Xiudu City, the middle age is five and the two are out of the ranks!"

"Those who have raised more than three pigs at home are listed!"

……

A few questions came down, and there were only two people standing in front of them.

Yuan Jiu finished reading Feng Yin's good words, and then retreated.

The sky is about to be dark, and the wind is about to come, because the wind is on a horse, and under the light of the torches, it is not as bright as a man's eyes.

"Those who know the widow of the Tian family, come out!"

Half a ring, one person came out of the ranks, and one person retreated.

Feng Yin let out a long voice, stared at the person who retreated, and said coldly: "Come on, take him down!" ”

"I'm wronged, I'm wronged! I don't know the widow of the Tian family, what is the crime, why is ...... Catch me? ”

The man was short and muscular, about five feet tall, with a wound on the back of his hand, old and new scars that had been splashed with hot oil.

Feng Yin looked down at the person who was taken, and smiled coldly: "I only ask you, do you know or not!" ”

"I ...... I don't know, I don't know! ”

The person who was arrested was named Huang Qi, who was originally a little cook, but somehow suddenly changed his career and earned a lot of silver taels.

Huang Qi turned his head and shook it like a rattle, his eyes flickered, "Why did the prince frame me, I ...... I don't know about the widow of the Tian family. ”

"Your words are lies!"

Feng Yin raised his eyes and asked, "I heard that the widows of the Tian family all raised their arms. ”

Everyone present raised their hands, Huang Qi was cold, and his speech was stumbling: "It's just ...... How can I say that I know her! ”

"Yuan Jiu!" Feng Yin was quite disdainful of this, and Yuan Jiu stepped forward and threw a blank piece of paper not far from Huang Qi.

"Your net worth is clearly remembered, and you think that no one will know if you shirk and lie?"

Huang Qi hesitated in his heart, "The grass people didn't ...... I have concealed these, please check it out. ”

"You are very clever, you know what to hide and what you can't hide, if it weren't for the hundred taels of gold, I was afraid that you wouldn't be out of the list from the beginning, but your answer to your life is still a little sensible, and a hundred taels of gold can't attract you."

Feng Yin's eyes were cold: "You come to answer, how can this king let you go?" ”

Huang Qi's face was as pale as snow, and he insisted that he didn't know the widow of the Tian family.

"Even if you change your words and say that you know the widow of the Tian family, this king asks you, you have changed from a cook to a butcher, and the silver has changed from two taels of silver a year to more than twenty taels a year.

Huang Qi trembled, "This ...... This is the grass people...... There is a way to do business, and ...... What to do with others! ”

"Okay, then let me ask you again, you have to pass through Wushan every few days, how many times do you come and go, can you explain?"

"Here comes the grass people...... Dig some wild grass and wild bamboo shoots in the mountains and sell them for leisure......"

"Huang Qi, can this king hear that you are going to Penglai Garden every other month to linger, wild grass and wild bamboo shoots?"

Feng Yin rode the horse around Huang Qi and glanced at it lightly.

"Your old appearance can be said to praise the widow of the Natian family for her beauty and ruthlessness, like a wild rose with thorns!"

"The grass people didn't dare to deceive, they dared to ask what kind of Tian family widow was written on the paper, and the grass people didn't know any Tian family widow......

Feng Yin said lightly: "It's really not written on the paper." ”

Huang Qi was stunned, "That grass people ......"

"Can you read?" The wind is as cold as frost because of the face.

Huang Qi panicked and looked down to see that there was a blank piece of paper on the paper.

However, as soon as he made a plan, Huang Qi showed the fox's tail.

Huang Qi's ears were cold, and suddenly a warm feeling flowed down from his cheeks.

He reached out and touched it, and his left ear was gone.

The stinging pain came suddenly, and his palms were already dripping with blood.

"Huang Qi, if you are willing to lead the way, as the words on the white paper say, this king can be burned to ashes, and he will not be held responsible."

"But if you don't say it again, the day it happens, it will be the time for you to die!"

"The prince spares his life, the prince spares his life!" Huang Qi knelt on the ground, trembling in pain.

Feng Yin turned over and dismounted, and his skills were agile, and in an instant he reached out and pinched his cheek.

Qingjun's hands were stained with blood, and they were indeed lined with more pear white as jade.

"Afraid of death, you don't have to be afraid, this king will not let you die......"

"If she can't survive, this king wants you to live, you can't die!"

These words are like the words of hell, in the midst of the raging torches around them, as cold as an ice cellar, as if they pierced the heart.

"The prince spares his life, the grass people do know the widow of the Tian family, and the grass people are willing to lead the way, begging the prince to spare his life!"

When Feng Yin heard this, he laughed.

The laughter was deep, mixed with the wind, cold and cold.

"Kill." His eyebrows were faint, and his smile was like a ghost, like ice and frost.

Yuan Jiu's expression remained unchanged, the sword was unsheathed, the sword flashed, and Huang Qi's head had fallen to the ground, and blood stained the loess.

"Lu Qiu." Feng Yin lowered his head and smiled lightly.

Yuan Jiu stepped forward coldly, grabbed the butcher who had just come out of the ranks, and dragged him out.

Lu Qiu had been paralyzed to the ground by Huang Qi's death, and he was so frightened that he almost fell to the ground when he heard this.

He fell to his knees and kowtowed repeatedly and begged for mercy.

"The prince spares his life, I ...... I know that Tian Lan is not at the foot of this mountain, she ...... She was at the foot of the hill on the other side of the lake...... I...... I can lead the way, begging the prince to spare my life......"

Lu Qiu couldn't help but glance at Feng Yin, and just one glance shocked his eyes straight and his legs weak.

He forgot to look away like a fool, and pointed directly at the upper wind cause, as well as the corpse of Huang Qi's skull that was separated not far away.

is the so-called killing chickens and monkeys, I'm afraid it was against him from the beginning!

★

"Slut, you dare to lie to me!" Tian Lan snatched the door from the outside and threw all the bowls in the room into the ground with a 'pop'.

The splattered porcelain shards spilled all over the ground and scattered in all directions, stabbing the cheeks of the pitiful kite, scraping out a few bloody marks.

Tian Lan rushed forward with an arrow step and poured the medicine bowl he brought in his hand into the mouth of the pian.

She struggled to avoid it, wetting her clothes, she turned her head and spat out the turbid water that Tian Lan poured into her mouth, and snorted into the ground several times.

The hair was still in Tian Lan's hands, and her neck was vigorously clamped by her slender fingers.

Tian Lan stared at the pianzheng for a while, and suddenly slashed a knife from her cuff and slashed at her wrist.

The blood suddenly gushed like a spring, and the haystack turned bright red in an instant.

"Since this place can't be hidden, I'm going to find a substitute for the dead to replace me, as he said, you're just right."

Her voice trembled, her throat tingled, and she frowned, "You want me to die for you?" ”

Tian Lan smiled coldly, "It's better to bleed to death in your sleep than to burn in the heat of the fire, I have shown mercy to you!" ”

Outside the door, the little boy lowered his head and carefully moved into the door, lowered his head and trembled, and said, "The fire has been lit." ”

"Drag her in through the secret passage, and you and A-Qing will do the rest by yourself."

Tian Lan smiled perfunctorily and took out a paper bag from his arms, which contained two strings of sugar gourds.

"I'll be in the back room with Ah Qing for a while, and I'll stay inside after eating the sugar gourd, and I'm not allowed to come out."

Ah Zheng nodded timidly, helped Tian Lan tie up the kite on the haystack, pushed it down, and threw it into the wooden cart.

Ah Zheng grabbed the handle of the wooden cart and dragged it outwards with difficulty.

Four wooden grunts creak and slid with a screeching sound.

There was chaos in Pian Zheng's mind, but Tian Lan had already closed the door and disappeared from her eyes.

The smell of pig manure was still all over her head, and the soreness on her body made her unable to move.

To live, to survive!

She gritted her teeth and turned over with all her might, only to wait for the cart to stop and she rolled off.

The little boy ignored her, and climbed himself up to the exit of the secret passage. He poked his eyes twice, and suddenly hugged the small body of another boy on the ground, and said cautiously: "A-Qing...... A Qing ...... There are sugar gourds to eat......"

The thick smell of smoke spilled through the cracks into the tunnel, choking people out of breath.

She bit the tip of her tongue and trembled with pain, she struggled to her feet, staggered against the ladder, and took two steps upwards with vertigo, and before she could wait to get up, the board on her head slammed down.

"Ah Zheng! Ah Zheng! Let me go up! She slammed the plank upwards, but no one answered.

She frowned, so she had to fall, staggering backwards, running back to the entrance, slamming open the door, and plunging headlong into an unknown water tank, she didn't care about the smell, and her brain was a little clearer.

She looked around the walls, and the door was locked from the outside, and there was no exit except the way she came!
