Chapter 57: Capture

Under the leadership of the jailer, Bai Lan came to the cell where the other two thieves were held, and in order to prevent the two from confessing, the two were deliberately separated from the two cells to guard.

The jailer specially instructed: "The two criminals have refused to say a word until now, and they will not enter a single drop." The criminal in room 1 is more stubborn, and the criminal in room 2 is younger and more timid. He trembled a little when he heard the sound of Jin Xiaotian being whipped, and he might be better off with it. ”

Bai Lan nodded and said, "Then let's start with him." The jailer opened cell No. 2, who was still young in room No. 2, when he heard someone open the cell door, a casual gesture caught Bai Lan's attention. He shrank back, trembling and looking scared.

"Take him away!" Bai Lan said.

"Ahh Yes! Yes! I don't want it! He croaked like crazy.

Bai Lan walked up to him, squatted down, and asked in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you, but I need you to cooperate with me to answer some questions, okay?"

The imprisoned child hugged his body, hesitated for a moment as if he remembered something, and shook his head vigorously.

The jailer said impatiently: "If you don't explain honestly, your fate will be the same as Jin Xiaotian." Hearing this, he hugged himself even tighter, Bai Lan shook his head, and stopped the jailer from continuing with his eyes.

Bai Lan continued to persuade patiently: "I know that you are not involved in their actions, you are just being used by them. Now it's too late for you to turn back, if you tell me the whole thing, then I can ask the emperor for family affection on your behalf, and open the net! ”

I saw that the little boy wanted to speak many times, but seemed to think of something, and shut up again.

"You think, if you continue to keep your mouth shut like this, we will also have a way to get the news we want from other people, and if you don't say it, other people will also say it to save your life, I see that you are young, and you must not be a big evil person, so I want to give you this opportunity. If you die, what happens to the people in your family? Do you think that if Jin Xiaotian is also dead, who will give you the promise to protect them? If you can answer me a few simple questions, I can save your life. If your family is subject to them, I can take them to live in Seremban after smashing their weapons, and you can live in peace here. Bai Lan saw the little boy's concern and spoke.

Bai Lan was afraid that their conversation would be heard by the prisoners in the No. 1 cell next to her, so she motioned for the jailer to take the little boy out of the cell and into an interrogation room.

When the little boy heard what Bai Lan said, there was a sudden light in his gray eyes, and he knew that Bai Lan would not hurt himself, so he followed Bai Lan out of the cell.

The little boy hesitated for a long time in the interrogation room, and he was finally willing to speak.

"I'm from Sutan, and my name is Ah Li." The little boy whispered.

Seeing that things were progressing, Bai Lan continued to ask, "Who else is in your family?"

"There is also a younger sister at home, named Ah Yao, general, you promised Ah Li to protect us, does it count?" Ah Li asked.

Bai Lan nodded and said, "I will do what I say, you can rest assured."

Ah Li listened and said: "Because I just added them, they still don't worry about letting me participate in many things, but I didn't expect to be arrested before I started, so some things are not very clear to me." All I know is that they put their weapons in a cave, and they can enter the city from the cave. They had already thrown poison once in the city's 'Great Source Well' before. ”

Bai Lan asked, "What kind of poison is that poison?"

Ah Li said: "It is a kind of poison that can slowly poison people, the toxin will make people have a kind of allergy symptoms at the beginning, and after the toxin slowly invades the internal organs, it will poison people to death."

"Why are they doing this?" Bai Lan continued to ask.

"Because they want to cause chaos in the city, and then take the opportunity to bring weapons and gunpowder from the caves to the city."

When Bai Lan heard this, her face changed: "Gunpowder?!"

"That's right, gunpowder, that kind of gunpowder has a particularly high saltpeter content, so it's so powerful that a small gunpowder bag can blow up a bungalow!" Ah Li's eyes were full of horror.

"How many powder packets are in that cave?"

Ah Li shook his head and said: "I have only been to the cave once, and I only helped transport weapons once, and when I went in, I saw a dense gunpowder bag, but I was driven out before I had time to count them." They were very demanding of us, and they were not allowed to bring anything that could cause a fire in and out. ”

Bai Lan thought to herself: This is a big deal, and I have to tell the emperor quickly!

"Then Ah Li, do you know when this batch of weapons is ready to be shipped? And to whom? Bai Lan asked.

Ah Li thought for a while and said: "This batch of weapons has been in the cave for too long, and the owner of this batch of weapons is a little anxious, so Jin Xiaotian is ready to transport them out of the mountain in the next two days, because there are no dead people in the city yet, so they are going to throw more poison tonight." As for who is the owner of these weapons, I really don't know, they never let me participate in such a confidential matter. I only once overheard them saying it was someone from the palace. ”

"People in the palace?" Bai Lan repeated Ah Li's words and wanted to confirm it once.

Ah Li nodded and said: "Yes, with such a large number of weapons and gunpowder, it is not the people in the palace who are also the royal family and nobles who can afford to buy so many weapons and gunpowder."

Bai Lan turned her head and explained to the jailer: "Protect him well, I will report this matter to the emperor now." You have to find out who bought these weapons and gunpowder from Jin Xiaotian's mouth as soon as possible. ”

"Okay, Commander!" The jailer took Ah Li to another cell for protection.

Bai Lan got out of the cell and rode a fast horse to the palace.

"White Commander!"

"Get out of the way, I have something urgent to see the emperor!" Bai Lan rode a fast horse and rushed into the gate of the palace.

When he arrived at the palace gate, he couldn't go any further, so Bai Lan had to dismount and run towards the emperor's palace.

"See the White Commander! Why are you in a hurry, what's going on? Grandpa Gui asked.

"Father-in-law Gui, hurry up and help me inform the emperor, Weichen has something important to tell the emperor!" Bai Lan's breath hadn't come to his breath yet, so he said.

"Okay, Commander Bai, please wait a moment, let's go in and spread the word immediately!" Grandpa Gui trotted in.

"Tell the emperor, Commander Bai has an urgent matter to see!" Grandpa Gui said.

"Invite him in!" Murong Rin hurriedly said and withdrew the ministers around him.

"Knock on the emperor!" When Bai Lan saw Murong Rin, she hurriedly made a big salute.

"The White Commander is exempt! How's it going? Is it the weapon matter that has a result? Murong Rin asked.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the minister has caught the thieves who poisoned the well in the city, and they originally planned to poison the second well in the city tonight, but they were caught by Weichen in time. And got a clue from the mouth of one of the thieves. He said that they were from Sutan, and that their weapons were buried in a mountain on the border between Sutan and Furong, and that the thief had been there, and that he was willing to take us there. And willing to tell us everything, but there was one thing he was forced to do, so he thought that if he spoke up, we could keep him and his sister safe. He said that their boss, Jin Xiaotian, had poisoned the well in order to cause chaos in the city. When there was chaos in the city, they could take the opportunity to bring weapons into the city to the buyers, and the point was that there were also an unknown number of lethal gunpowder bags in these weapons. Although he didn't know who the buyers of these weapons were, one thing was certain: the people in the palace or the royal family and nobles. Bai Lan said.

"Commander Bai, you have done a good job in this matter, now you lead your people to go, follow the four princes, and return these weapons!" Murong Rin made a holy decree.

"No! The minister must live up to his mission! Bai Lan turned around and left the main hall.

"Gonggong Gui, send this holy decree of mine to King Rong's Mansion immediately!" With a wave of his brush, Murong Rin wrote the letter of appointment on the holy decree.

Fengtian transported, and the emperor said: Order the fourth prince, Murong Mufeng, to lead Bai Lan to the junction of Sutan and Furong to find a batch of private weapons and bring them back safely. Chin this!

"Murong Mufeng took the order! Long live my emperor, long live! Murong Mufeng took the holy decree, and Bai Lan was already waiting outside King Rong's mansion. Murong Mufeng got on the black horse and was about to leave.

"Lord Wang!" Yu Wei knew just now that Murong Mufeng was going on a mission, and she also knew the danger involved. Specially went out of the house to give Murong Mufeng a ride.

"I'll be back soon, waiting for me at home!" Murong Mufeng said softly.

"Uh-huh, lord, pay attention to safety, go early and return early!" Yu Wei looked at Murong Mufeng firmly.

"Drive!" Murong Mufeng rode away and disappeared into the street after a while.

"Bai Lan, where is that cave?" Murong Mufeng asked.

"Lord Wang, it's around here!" Bai Lan replied.

"General Ma, do you remember this place?" Murong Mufeng turned around and asked Ma Jingsong.

Ma Jingsong nodded and said, "I still remember, Lord Wang, it's not far ahead, there are enchantments everywhere here, it's easy to get lost, and the steering wheel doesn't work here." Lord Wang, you have to be careful, the minister has ordered someone to mark the road, the mountain is not far away, we are about to arrive! ”

"Brothers, the destination is ahead, everyone should cheer up!" Murong Mufeng ordered.

"Yes, Lord Wang!" The soldiers responded.

"Drive!" Murong Mufeng hurried forward, followed by Bai Lan and Ma Jingsong.

"Lord Wang, it's the front there." Ma Jingsong said.

"Okay, let's get off the horse and move!" Murong Mufeng led the soldiers to quietly approach the mountain.

"You take two teams of people to the left side of the mountain, Bai Lan, you lead people to outflank the mountain from the right!" After Murong arranged all the people, he led the two teams of people to attack the mountain gate.

"Ma Jingsong, do you remember how to open this door?" Murong Mufeng asked.

"Lord Wang, I remember. Get out of the way, let me come! Ma Jingsong fiddled in front of the mountain for a while.

With a squeak~, the mountain gate was opened。。。。。。
