105. Masked and dirty guests
The city has arrived. The city is surrounded by water on all sides, the face is more than a mile wide, and the city walls are towering. There is a mountain behind the city, the mountain is upright, the mountains are stacked on top of each other, the green trees are growing, and the situation is dangerous. The city wall and the city gate are guarded by Wu soldiers, and there are war drums from time to time, which shows that there are heavy soldiers stationed and are training.
Yingzi and his party entered the city. Although the city is not fully built, it is quite prosperous with shops and many pedestrians. found an inn and stayed, but Yingzi was at a loss: where to find the second egg?
After lunch, she led her entourage to the street, wandering aimlessly, when she suddenly noticed that someone was following. At first, they were two young people like street bastards, who looked at them and pointed at them. Later, the number of people following gradually increased, and there could be more than a dozen people, apparently because of the fact that the patrol soldiers often passed by on the street, and it was inconvenient for them to shoot. Yingzi looked at those stalkers carefully, they were all street slickers, scoundrels and the like, and they didn't have any martial arts at all. She secretly admonished her two followers to lead them to a deserted place.
When they finally came to the middle of nowhere, the dozen or so people gathered around. One by one, they wore crooked hats and stared at each other, and none of them were in shape. One of the short guys, who was in his early twenties, stared at Yingzi with a grin: "Hey! Little lady, you look so good, how dare you walk on the street alone? ”
Yingzi smiled coldly, didn't talk nonsense with them, and suddenly attacked, kicking down the short guy with a grinning face. The two entourages also took action, and they knocked more than a dozen men to the ground, shouting for mercy.
Yingzi kicked the short man by the neck and rebuked angrily, "Say, who sent you? ”
The kid was so frightened that he shouted: "Sister, spare your life, spare your life!" It was Ma Er, and it was he who gave each of us half a tael of silver, and asked us to bring you down and carry you to an empty house. But Ma Er didn't say anything. You're all practitioners! ”
"Where does Ma Er live?"
"It's right in the north back street, on the edge of the city wall."
Yingzi's eyes flickered a few times, and she suddenly had an idea. She had her attendants tear off the rest of the people's clothes, make ropes, and tie them up. Then he ordered the short and sturdy man: "You lead the way, find Ma Er!" ”
The stout man was frightened: "Huh? Eldest sister. Auntie, grandma, don't let me take you! Na Ma Er was very fierce, and when he was in Meicheng, half the city was afraid of him. He's going to beat me to death! ”
"Do you think I can't beat you to death?"
"Please, spare me, spare me!"
"What's your name?"
"My name is Sheep Stake, and everyone calls me Stake. I really can't afford to mess with Ma Er! ”
Yingzi slashed down at him with a palm. Half of his body was numb.
"If you don't lead the way, I'll kill you, and then find someone else!"
"Alright! Auntie and grandmother. He turned to the kidnapper: "You all have to testify to me, I was forced." ”
"Yes, yes, we're being forced." The gang shouted.
"A bunch of birdmen!" Yingzi scolded in her heart.
The stake was held by two retinues, and Yingzi watched from the side. The group went straight to the north of the city.
Ma Er's residence is a detached courtyard the size of a five-room house. In front of the closed courtyard gate. There was a knock on the door, but there was no sound inside. As soon as Yingzi pushed the door, the door opened. Yingzi was taken aback. In the middle of the courtyard, in a pool of blood, there was a thick man.
"Oops! He is Ma Er, he is Ma Er. He...... What's wrong. What's wrong? The stake was frightened. His legs were weak, and he fell straight down, and he couldn't even enter the courtyard gate. Yingzi's two attendants dragged him in. That Ma Er was indeed strong, with a beard on his face. There was a bloody cut on his neck, and he was killed with a knife.
Yingzi enters the house. There were only simple cutlery and bedding in the house.
Yingzi forced the stump: "What about his family?" ”
The stake cried: "His family is from Meili and has just migrated. He stood in front of him, but his family hadn't arrived yet! Eldest sister, aunt and grandmother, you have to testify to me that I didn't kill Ma Er. ”
Yingzi ridiculed him: "Do you have these two hits? This is called a knife to kill, and the master did it. ”
"Really?" The stake was surprised.
Yingzi suddenly felt that on the wall on the left side of the courtyard wall, someone seemed to be snooping, and rushed away. She jumped up on the courtyard wall, but saw no one. Yingzi is sure that this person is the murderer.
Why do you want to kill Ma Er? Could it be that Ma II was supported by others? Could it be that the person who escaped just now was the woman who poisoned Zhongli City? She mobilized Ma Er to send someone to arrest me, and when she saw that the matter was revealed, she killed Ma Er again. Who the hell is she? Could it be an acquaintance, afraid that I will know?
Yingzi felt that that person should be an acquaintance! Otherwise, there will be no murder.
Yingzi guessed well, that person was Wang Ye. After Yingzi entered the city, he also entered the city with him. He knew that there was a bully in Meili named Ma Er, who had moved here. Wang Ye worked as an errand in Meili City, and Ma Er knew him. Wang Ye found Ma Er, gave him a bag of silver, and asked Ma Er to send someone to arrest Yingzi. Subsequently, Wang Ye kept following Yingzi, and he was shocked to see that the men who were following him were subdued by Yingzi. He was afraid that Ma Er would reveal his true identity, so he hurriedly came back and killed Ma Er.
"!" Wang Ye ran to a small forest and scolded viciously, "This Yingzi turned out to be extraordinary, why didn't he pay attention to it?" I didn't catch a wolf, but I was bitten by a wolf cub. He gritted his teeth, "The more difficult it is to deal with, the more I want to toss her, and I don't believe in her or accept her!" ”
Suddenly, the back of his neck was cold, and a knife was placed on his neck. He was just about to make a big turn and make a move, when suddenly he was confused and stopped.
"Do you still want to move?" A majestic voice said. It was a man's voice, gruff.
"Don't dare, don't dare!" He's still a little confused. Subconsciously, I wanted to turn around and see what kind of person could subdue him like this, but my body was weak and I couldn't turn around.
"You killed Ma Er, right?"
"Yes...... It's me. ”
"You're bad! Let Ma Er arrest people for you, if you can't catch them, you will kill people and kill people? ”
"No, it's not! I ......"
"Sensei defended." The man's words were sarcastic, but the knife was off his neck. He spun around, finally facing the man. The man was dressed in black and hat, masked with a black cloth, and wore an eye patch on his eyes, so he couldn't see clearly. His legs went limp, and he actually knelt down.
He thought to himself: You shouldn't kneel! He is a warrior of the Wu Kingdom, and he was born in martial arts since he was a child, so how can he easily kneel in front of others. But the legs are disobedient and can only kneel.
The man in black said: "You go to the government to complain immediately, just say that Yingzi and his gang killed Ma Er, and let the government arrest her!" ”
"Huh?" Wang Ye's mouth trembled and he couldn't speak. He was unwilling to let the government arrest Yingzi. He wants to catch it himself, and he wants to subdue Yingzi by himself.
"Why, don't agree?" The other party's knife pressed over again, straight into his face. "If you dare to say a word against it, I'll give you a cross in the face at once."
"Okay, okay!" Wang Ye couldn't help but give in.
The man in black said: "I will spy on you in the shadows." If you don't do what I say, I'll give you a knife right away!" ”
The man in black suddenly passed him and ran forward. When Wang Ye turned his head and looked at him, his figure had disappeared into the depths of the woods. Wang Ye slowly stood up, and suddenly felt that his body had regained his vitality. What's wrong just now, the man in black must have drugged him, otherwise his body wouldn't be weak. What the hell does the man in black do, to set up Yingzi? Does he have a grudge against Yingzi? But if there is a grudge, he can take revenge directly, so why borrow my hand?
Wang Ye was puzzled. He walked lazily forward, entered the street, and came across the stake that was grabbed by Yingzi. The stake was in a panic, and as soon as he saw Wang Ye, he rushed over and knelt down: "Uncle, please spare your life!" Just now, a masked man forced me to come to you and report to the government, saying that the woman killed Ma Er. However, Ma Er really wasn't killed by that woman, I don't dare to wronged her, she will kill me! Please, let me go! ”
Wang Ye didn't expect the masked man to move so quickly. He kicked at the stake: "If you don't report the crime, who will report it?" It's the woman who killed Ma Er, will there be a mistake? If you don't report the crime, I'll report the crime, say that you killed people on a sheep pile, and see what kind of virtue you will become! ”
The stake was shocked: "Huh? Didn't you plant dirt on people! ”
Wang Ye was full of confidence: "What's wrong with planting dirty?" It's dirty! Are you going to report the crime? ”
The stake had no choice but to stand up and walk in the direction of the official mansion with a few tears. Wang Ye didn't follow him, but made a big turn and came to the inn where Yingzi lived, waiting there.
He saw that two of Yingzi's retinues had returned, but there was no Yingzi. Where did this Yingzi go? After a while, Yingzi came back, looking worried. Not long after she entered the inn, Zhuzi led a few people from the government to come, tied Yingzi and the two entourages to the wrists, and took them away.
Wang Ye thought to himself: This is not good! Escorted into the official mansion, it is inevitable that he will be beaten violently. If Yingzi is injured and disabled, and there are a few more bloody cuts on his tender little face, then isn't he Wang Ye busy for a lot of time in vain? No, he's going to have to figure it out.
Suddenly, someone behind him slapped him. Turning his head, it turned out to be the black-clothed masked man again. Wang Ye was afraid of this person, for fear that he would use drugs again.
"Don't be afraid." The man said, "You go to the government office to clear it up." As long as Yingzi can be detained for ten or twenty days, or even punished to hard labor, there is no need to torture to extract a confession. ”
Wang Ye was very surprised: "What do you mean?" ”
The other party was very rude: "Do as I say!" ”
Wang Ye was just about to resist, but suddenly there was a burst of weakness and numbness.
"Are you going?"
"I ...... ...... without office and power, no...... No way! ”
"You lied to me? I have already learned from Ma Er that you are a warrior of the Kingdom of Wu, and you are all registered people in the King of Wu. The current Xiang Gao Bin of Lucheng is your old acquaintance. Are you going or not going? ”
Wang Ye didn't expect that Gao Bin would be transferred here on an errand, so he couldn't help but nodded.
"I see your actions." The man in black floated away.
Wang Ye snuggled against the wall for a long time, shaking his head, and his body returned to normal. Who is this? Dare to deal with me like this, and you have to deal with Yingzi like this. Look, you have to catch Yingzi, but you don't want to hurt Yingzi. Could it be that this is a woman who has a love feud with Yingzi and is a rival in love? (To be continued......)
