"What the hell do you want to do?" Father Yan asked in a dumb voice.

I lowered my head and said, "My family died because of the Blood Rock Furnace, and I want to investigate the matter of the Blood Rock Furnace clearly." ”

"What do you mean by the only option?" He asked again.

I asked him rhetorically, "Have you heard of Du Zifeng?" ”

He was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment and said, "I've heard of it." But this man is mysterious, and no one knows what he really came from. ”

"Now he already knows that I am in Xiping Town." I say.

When Father Yan heard this, his brows suddenly furrowed.

"You get it, right?" I said solemnly, "This Falcon knows very well that the Diggers are looking for the Blood Rock Furnace, what will happen to you if he reveals the news to the Diggers?" They won't hesitate to guess that you might be withholding the news. ”

Father Yan was silent for a long time and asked, "In that case, you are basically already the meat on someone else's chopping board, why don't you run away quickly?" ”

I expected him to ask this question, and calmly replied: "You probably don't know me very well, first, I, Tao Yong, have never been the meat on other people's chopping boards, I am a knife on the chopping board, and I am ready to cut them at any time; Second, now that Wang Shaoting's injury is not healed, it is impossible for me to leave him and go by myself; Third, even if I am gone, you will still be in danger because of my presence here, and I must not stand idly by. ”

He looked a little surprised to hear me say this, and looked at me speechless for a long time.

"So," I concluded, "the best option now is for you to inform the Digging Troupe of this immediately, so that your crisis will be resolved." I don't have to worry about it. ”

But he shook his head and said, "No, if they come, you won't be able to leave here safely." ”

I stood up, walked up to him, looked him in the eye and smiled and said, "Daddy, you have to believe me!" I wouldn't have proposed this if I wasn't absolutely sure. If I really can't leave, you can not only call me a stinky boy in the future, but also call me a stupid boy, a stupid boy, an idiot boy, I absolutely admit it! ”

Seeing that I was so confident, he finally smiled and said, "Okay, but you must not be nonsense." ”

I nodded and said, "Of course, who would take their lives!" Then he said, "Last question, Dad, you are so righteous to me, what is the relationship between you and the Tao family?" ”

He smiled indifferently and said, "There is no origin, I just admire your father more." I'll go out now, and you'll be at your own convenience. ”

After saying that, he turned and left, and I looked at his back, and I really had an urge to talk to him about my father. But there's more important things to do right now! I also walked out of the pharmacy, and as soon as I went out, I immediately reverted to the form of a hunched and hunched old man.

After walking around the street for a long time, all the things to be arranged have been arranged, so I found a tea shed and sat down to drink tea. I had just drunk a cup of tea, and I saw someone running and shouting on the street, and after listening carefully, someone said that someone outside the town gate was shouting, saying that he wanted to arrest the imperial court.

I guessed that it might be someone from the Digging Ying Troupe who came, but I didn't have time to ask Daddy Yan about the origin of the Digging Troupe just now, I always thought it was a kind of organization similar to the underworld, why did I still make a prisoner in the imperial court?

I deliberately stood up slowly and walked towards the town gate, where new news kept coming.

…… It is said that there are court criminals in our town who robbed the royal treasure!

…… It is said that this court criminal is extremely vicious, murderous like hemp, and may abscond again at any time!

…… It is said that anyone who dares to harbor a criminal or fails to report it will be executed on the spot!

…… Say that they have surrounded the whole town until sunset, and if they do not hand over the prisoners, the whole town will be punished for harboring!

The more I listened, the more I was secretly frightened. Who are these people? It is so brazen to set its own legal system, and it is even high-sounding. What kind of imperial court criminals who robbed the treasure, the Blood Rock Furnace was originally my Tao family's thing, okay? What whole town is punished for harboring, isn't that an indiscriminate use of lynching?

When I got to the gate of the town, I mixed in with the crowd of onlookers and looked out, but I was a little surprised.

I saw that there were only a dozen people in front of the gate, and there were three people riding on horses in the front row, estimated to be the leader, and the dress was different from the whole body of those people in the state pastoral department, wearing a yellow robe with white edges, embroidered with gold silk threads, wearing a navy blue hat on his head, a golden belt hanging down on both sides, and the saddle bridle on the horse's back was also decorated with gold, which looked quite gorgeous.

The other three men were all dressed in gray clothes and carrying knives around their waists, and one of them was standing relatively far forward, talking to a slightly chubby old man who was still bowing to each other. When I asked the person next to me, he said that the old man was the mayor of this town. Behind the mayor stood a skinny young man, who said it was the mayor's entourage.

When asked about the specific content of the shouting just now, it was similar to the rumors I had heard before. But I muttered in my heart: Just a few people, put such a big score, and hand over people within a limited time, otherwise the whole town will be guilty of the same crime? I'm afraid that the whole town will kick them to Nanshan with one kick, right? It's so foolish!

So he remained silent and continued to hide in the crowd and watch.

In a few moments, the sun was already in the west, and the mayor had only bowed before, but now he suddenly knelt down and kowtowed like garlic. I was thinking it was a little strange, when I saw a gray-robed man walking towards me, and with a knife in his hand, he cut off the head of the mayor's entourage! He was quite sharp, the knife had been lowered, and the young man's body was still standing, blood spurting out of his neck cavity, and his head gurgling far away. After a few seconds, the body collapsed limply, covered in blood.

Suddenly, the crowd became chaotic, and everyone began to flee in all directions. In addition to the three people at the head, the rest of the gray-robed people outside the door also rushed over quickly, and each dragged a common man back.

I was still immersed in the shock of the bloody scene, and my mind was in turmoil, so I clung to a pillar next to me so that I was not pushed away by the crowd. When I looked out again, the arrested civilians had been forced to kneel in a row, and there was a row of gray-robed men with knives standing behind them, as if they were going to continue to kill!

And for this killing, the three people on the horse were as if they were looking at the scenery, without any expression on their faces.

Seeing that the group of people raised their knives again, I couldn't hold it anymore and shouted: "Tao Zhihuan is here!" He walked out of the crowd and ripped off the makeup on his face, revealing his original face.

The moment I walked out, I understood what it meant to be "a man for a sword, and a man for a fish", and I completely underestimated the ferocity and ruthlessness of these people!

As I passed the young man's body, my fists clenched, and my chest felt as heavy as if it had been crushed by a boulder. Why is it that everywhere you go, someone is innocently implicated because of this inexplicable family curse? And these people in front of them, what right do they have to let this life pass away so easily, just because of their greed?

I looked up at the three of them, my eyes full of anger!

This is closer, and the three of them can be seen more clearly, these are three ...... The men look quite similar, they all have white faces, curved eyebrows and thin eyes, and some eyeshadow-like color decorations are painted next to the eyes, the one on the left is yellow, the one in the middle is red, and the one on the right is blue.

They also looked a little surprised to see me come out, their eyes were full of suspicion, and after looking at each other, the person on the left asked, "Where is the thing?" ”

The voice was soft and tactful, not at all like it came from a man, and I couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

In this stunned moment, something suddenly flew towards me, quickly swept over my left cheek, a hot pain, I subconsciously touched it, and there was already a blood mark. If you look closely, the man has a whip in his hand, and he just gave me a whip coldly!

With a blank face, he asked again, "Where is the thing?" ”

I knew that what he was talking about was the Blood Rock Furnace, and at the same time, I also understood that now my life was on the tip of my tongue, and if I said something wrong, I might be immediately beheaded on the spot like the person behind me!

Immediately said loudly: "The thing is no longer in Xiping Town, I have asked others to send it out and hide it!" ”

The man frowned, just wanted to raise his hand to raise the whip again, the middle man stretched out his hand to stop him, then got off the horse, slowly walked to my side, before I could react, he had reached out and pinched my chin, as if looking at the whiplash just now, shook his head lightly and said: "This handsome face, it's a pity to ......" The voice was even sweeter, if you didn't turn your head to look at him, you would definitely think that the owner of this voice would be a big beauty.

I felt uncomfortable and wanted to dodge backwards, but I felt that his hands were like iron tongs, and I couldn't get rid of them. And I also noticed that the man's nails were long, curved, and sharp, shining with a white cold light, and looked like a knife. By this time he had already leaned his face over to my ear and asked, "Good boy, where did you let it go?" ”

In desperation, I had to stare at him with squinted eyes, "I don't know." Only that person knows where it's hiding, if ...... If you kill someone in the town again, and that person is accidentally killed by you, you'll never know where it is. ”

But he was not angry, and said with a coquettish smile: "You pointed out that person to me, okay?" ”

"I, I won't say it......" His hand was not only strong, but also cold as a snake, and his unmasculine and unpretentious performance made me feel uncomfortable.

Seeing that I was completely uncooperative, his eyes flashed, and his voice immediately became colder: "Then you want to die?" ”

I simply closed my eyes, ignored him anymore, and shouted in my heart: Senior sister, it depends on you whether my little life can be saved!

At this moment, there was a faint sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and dozens of black shadows moved quickly, and in a moment they were close to the front. The leader got off his horse, walked straight to the person next to me, and arched his hand and said: "Lin Xiaofeng, the captain of the fifth department under the seat of Lord Mu Xu of Xiayouzhou, see Gonggong Qin!" ”
