Volume III Chapter 626
The old man was obviously a person who had seen the world, and after he came out, he saw so many soldiers outside, his face did not have the slightest nervousness, and he arched his hand to the surroundings calmly, and asked: "Old Meng An, I don't know what you have to do when you come late at night?"
"We're going to search for the Assassins!" replied in a cold voice from one of the Golden Soldier Captains.
"Assassin, where did the old man come from? There must be a misunderstanding!" the old man smiled at the captain of the golden soldier and said, "What's more, the old man's house has already been searched several times, if there is an assassin, it will not be found out long ago!"
"You don't have a wordy person! There are no assassins, you don't count it, get out of the way!" Captain Jin Bing was not polite at all, and waved his hand vigorously, pushing the old man out of the way, if it weren't for the surrounding family members who were fast enough to hold the old man in time, he would have fallen to the ground on the spot.
"Bold!" The old man's face turned red with anger, and he said angrily: "The old man has a deep friendship with the county head, you wait until the old man has something to do in his family, once the county head knows, I'm afraid he won't be able to eat and go around!"
Without waiting for the surrounding Jin soldiers to answer, Shao Lin in the back had already laughed on his back, urged the horse to step forward, grabbed the reins of the war horse in front of the old man, stared down at the old man for a while, and said: "Do you think that if you get acquainted with the county head, it will be equivalent to giving you a gold medal for avoiding death? Even if you move the Heavenly King Lao Tzu out today, we will search for it!" As he spoke, he waved his hand to the Jin soldiers around him.
The golden soldiers obeyed the order, and the people rushed forward.
Seeing this, the old man immediately spread his arms and stopped the Jin soldiers, then raised his head and said to Shao Lin in a trembling voice: "This general should not deceive people too much, if he insists on searching the old mansion, he will find the county head, or take the county head's hand!"
Shao Lin is happy, happy, just a private house. If you want to search for it, you have to ask for a letter from the head of the county, and it is simply unreasonable! He shouted to the left and right: "Search! If anyone obstructs him, he will be killed!"
With Shao Lin's order, the soldiers of the Fourth Legion no longer had any worries, and rushed through the Meng Mansion like a tide and poured directly into the mansion. In the process of the soldiers rushing forward, Meng An was also hit, the old man staggered back more than two meters away, sat on the ground, looked at the Jin Jun who seemed to be fierce and vicious, and cried loudly: "There is no royal law here, and there is no heavenly reason here......
Shao Lin, who was sitting on the horse, glanced at him and said with a sneer: "Wang Fa, Tianli, let me tell you, here." I am the king's law, I am the heavenly law!"
Meng An also saw at this time that it would definitely not make sense to reason with Shao Lin, so he asked the surrounding families to hurry to the county capital to find Wang Song, and be sure to invite Wang Song over.
As a large number of soldiers of the Fourth Army entered, the huge Meng Mansion seemed to have exploded all at once, and the people were in an uproar. Screams erupted and chaos erupted.
Over time. The soldiers who went in to search for the Assassins returned in batches, bringing back the same news, but they found nothing, and no trace of the Assassins was found.
In the end, the two corps led by the Fourth Army Corps also withdrew from Mengfu one after another and came to Shaolin. He arched his hand and said, "General Shao, no suspicious person has been found in the Meng Mansion. β
Shao Lin's brows furrowed into a pimple, and he asked, "Have you searched all the places?"
"Yes, General Shao, oh. However, in addition to ...... Except for the courtyard where the female dependents lived, they were never entered, and all other places were searched. One of the corps commanders replied.
"The courtyard where the female dependents live?" Shao Lin pondered for a moment and asked in a cold voice, "Why don't you go in and search?"
"This ...... I'm afraid it's not very convenient, and it's ...... The people of the Meng Mansion blocked the gate of the courtyard and did not let me enter. The corps commander said with a sad face.
When Shao Lin heard this, his face suddenly sank, and he asked rhetorically: "What did I tell you just now? If there is any obstruction, don't you hear it clearly?"
The two corps commanders trembled, glanced at each other, and without saying a word, they immediately led their subordinates back to the Meng Mansion to search the courtyard where the female dependents lived.
Meng An, who was not far away, could hear it clearly, he staggered forward, and said to Shao Lin in a trembling voice: "General, there are many female dependents in the old family, and now they are all asleep, you ...... What is the system of these many people who have gone in and searched for them?"
Shao Lin snorted coldly and said, "If you don't have a ghost in your heart, how can you be afraid that we will go in and search! Meng An, if you dare to push back and block again, you can blame General Ben for being unkind to you." β
As he spoke, he shook his head at the two corps commanders and motioned for them to hurry up.
At this moment, a group of cavalry rushed over the street, and there was a carriage among the cavalry, and when they arrived in front of the gate of Mengfu, the horse team stopped, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and a middle-aged man in official uniform walked down from inside.
This is not an outsider, it is the head of Zeping County - Wang Song.
Wang Song got out of the carriage, raised his eyes and looked around, he was also taken aback by the crowd of Jin soldiers, he wondered in his heart, he did not give the order to mobilize the army, why did the army suddenly run to the side of the Meng Mansion? Could it be the order of the county lieutenant?
But it shouldn't be, the county lieutenant Zhang Qian is his old partner, he won't know his relationship with Meng An, how can he still attack Meng An?
He was puzzled, and after getting out of the carriage, he walked towards the main entrance in a grand manner and asked loudly: "Who can tell this official what is going on?"
Hearing Wang Song's loud voice, Meng An subconsciously turned his head to look, his face suddenly showed joy, Wang Song's arrival seemed to let him find the backbone, he ran forward quickly, and said: "Lord Wang, you can be counted as coming, if you don't come again, the old man will be bullied to death." β
For Wang Song, Meng An is his God of Wealth, and every month it is only a gift from Meng An to him, which is enough for Wang Song's family to wear gold and silver, and have no worries about food and clothing.
It was rare to see Meng Anyou when he was so popular that his face turned pale, Wang Song also showed annoyance, held the old man's hands, and yelled around: "Who made Meng Lao feel wronged, stand up for this official!"
"It's me!" With a response, Shao Lin urged the horse out and came to Wang Song's approach.
"You have eaten the bear's heart and leopard gall ......" Wang Song raised his head while scolding, but when he looked up, he happened to meet Shao Lin's cold and fierce gaze.
At that moment, Wang Song felt his head buzz, and the temperature around him suddenly dropped to freezing, as if he was in an ice cellar.
Others may not know Shao Lin. But how could Wang Song not know him? That was the big leader of the demon underworld warriors, not to mention that he was just the head of a county, even if it was a high-ranking official of the imperial court, he was within the scope of punishment of the demon underworld warriors. He was stunned for a moment before he suddenly came back to his senses, and the spirit shivered and arched his hands. He bowed to the ground and stammered, "Original...... It turned out to be General Shao, and he ...... The subordinate didn't know that General Shao was here, and there was something offensive, so please ...... Please forgive General Shao. β
Wang Song's attitude suddenly made a 180-degree turn, which caught Meng An on the side a little unprepared, and at the same time was surprised by Shao Lin's identity.
Shao Lin didn't even look at Meng An, his cold gaze fell directly on Wang Song's face, and he said in a deep voice: "Listen to Meng An." The two of you have a good relationship, and now, I am here to search for the assassins, if I really find the assassins out of the Meng Mansion, I am afraid that Lord Wang will not be able to get rid of it!"
In a word, Wang Song was covered in sweat, and beads of sweat the size of beans fell down his cheeks, and his body trembled when he stood there. The atmosphere did not dare to gasp.
It's not necessarily easier in front of Shao Lin than in front of Lin Haotian, no matter what. Adults are still more tolerant of the courtiers below, but the demon warriors are different, whether it is against the enemy or their own people, the means are vicious, and they do everything.
Just as they were talking, all of a sudden. A deafening shout rang out from the Meng Mansion: "Assassin, it's an Assassin, don't let the Assassin escapeβ"
When Shao Lin heard the word assassin, his eyes lit up, he pointed at Wang Song and Meng An, and said sharply to the left and right: "Control them all, people here." None of them can be let go. β
As soon as he finished speaking, the man had disappeared, and at the same time, a large number of demonic warriors around him also disappeared one after another.
Wang Song was dumbfounded, he never dreamed that Meng An's home really contained assassins.
He turned his head, looked at Meng An in disbelief, and stammered, "Meng ...... Meng Lao, this ...... What's going on? ...... you? You can't frame this official!"
Meng An was like a deflated ball at this time, his body was limp to the ground, his eyes were glazed, and he secretly said that it was over! He knew very well in his heart what would be the consequences of discovering an assassin in his own home, and I am afraid that it would not be as simple as his family suffering.
Let's talk about Shao Lin, he didn't enter the Meng Mansion immediately, but walked around the outside along the courtyard wall. Shao Lin is experienced, and the assassins will definitely not dare to fight if they expose their whereabouts, and they will definitely break through to the outside, and he just intends to intercept the assassins outside the Meng Mansion.
Shao Lin was really right, and the three assassins who were searched out all fled to the east courtyard wall, preparing to jump off the wall and break out of the encirclement of the Jin army.
The three of them are all demon warriors, proficient in demon martial arts, and when they arrived at the courtyard wall, the three of them rushed to the courtyard wall, and then flashed outside the courtyard wall.
As soon as the three of them came out, they came into contact with the soldiers of the Fourth Army who were in charge of the encirclement outside, and the soldiers swarmed and surrounded the three of them.
Where did the three of them dare to entangle with Jin Bing at this time? The three of them once again performed strange steps, some of them flashed into the crowd of Jin Jun, and some of them flashed directly above Jin Jun's head, intending to jump out of the encirclement directly.
Their movements are fast enough, but the speed of some people on the Jin Army's side is not slow. I saw that the assassin who flashed into the air had just appeared, and there was an additional demon warrior in black armor on each side of him, and before the assassin could come to his senses, the two demon warriors both struck out and clasped the assassin's arms.
The three of them fell down from mid-air, and when they heard a bang, the three of them landed, shaking the dust on the ground so high.
The assassin screamed and struggled, but the big hands of the two demonic warriors were like iron pincers, clasping his double bowls without letting go in the slightest.
The assassin howled and lifted his legs, trying to kick and kick the two demonic warriors who were grabbing him, when another demonic warrior appeared behind him, and without saying a word, he struck the assassin in the back of the head with the handle of the broadsword in his hand.
There was a crisp snap in the ear chakra, and the armor on the assassin's head shattered, and at the same time, his eyes lost their lustre, and his eyes rolled upward, and he fainted on the spot.
This is only the tip of the battlefield, and the other two assassins who have infiltrated the Jin army are not much better, and are being targeted by the demonic warriors who tracked them down. One of them was cut into several pieces on the spot during the fight with the Demon Warrior, and the other was captured alive.
None of the three assassins escaped, and all of them were caught by the demonic warriors.
Kill one, capture two alive, and the operation can be described as a complete victory. Shao Lin also seemed very happy and happy.
When he led the Demon Warrior to escort the two assassins who had been captured alive back to the main gate of the Meng Mansion, Shao Lin's gaze swept over Wang Song and Meng An, and asked in a cold voice, "Two, what are you two going to explain now?"
"Plop!"
Without waiting for others to speak, Wang Song's knees were already weak. knelt on the ground, then used his knees as feet, knelt and crawled in front of Shao Lin, snot and tears flowed out together, and cried: "General Shao, this matter has nothing to do with Xiaguan, Xiaguan and Meng ...... I don't know this old horseman well, I don't know that the old horseman has anything to do with the assassin, and I hope the general will see it......"
"It's so unfamiliar!" Shao Lin sneered: "If you two are not familiar. Meng An dared to harbor assassins in his home without fear? If you two were not familiar with each other, would the county soldiers search Meng's mansion several times without finding anything? No wonder the assassins were able to infiltrate the mansion where the adults lived, all because of the secret efforts of a traitor like you, how could the general still tolerate you?!" As he spoke, he shouted to the left and right: "Someone!"
"The subordinates are here!" With the voice of the answer, two demonic warriors stood up.
Shao Lin pointed at Wang Song and said in a deep voice: "Punish the guilty minister Wang Song and correct the law on the spot." To set an example!"
"Obey!" "Demon Warrior doesn't matter what your identity is, how high your official position is. As long as there is an order, it will be executed.
The two demonic warriors walked quickly to Wang Song's approach and dragged him to the side.
Wang Song also realized that his life was hanging by a thread at this time, and shouted repeatedly: "General Shao spare his life, General Shao spare his life, the lower official wants to see your lord." If you want to explain it clearly to your lordship, General Shao, please give your subordinates a chance to meet your lordship!"
Shao Lin didn't look away, he didn't look at him, and turned a deaf ear to Wang Song's cry.
Two demonic warriors dragged and dragged them. Pulling Wang Song to the side not far away, one person waved his official hat off, and the other person pulled out his saber in his hand, and when the knife fell, he heard a click, Wang Song's scream stopped abruptly, and the big head and bones rolled to the ground.
"Ahh
The head of a county, the official position is not low, if he is transferred back to the imperial court, at least he should be an official from the third grade, but the demon underworld warrior didn't even report to the face, so he directly cut people down, which shows that the power of the demon underworld warrior at this time is great, and the reason why others are full of fear of the demon underworld warrior is also understandable.
Shao Lin killed Wang Song, but that didn't mean he really thought there was collusion between Wang Song and the Assassins.
When inspecting the pavilion last night, Shao Lin also participated, and for Wang Song's caution during the inspection, Shao Lin could also feel his nervousness after repeated inspections, for fear of being exploited by the assassins. However, the bad thing is that Lin Haotian doesn't like Wang Song very much, and he accepted his gift, and it is very troublesome to really move him in the future, as a person around the adult, Shao Lin has the responsibility to get rid of the adult's trouble, not to mention, this time Wang Song is indeed negligent, and he is not unjustly killed, so Shao Lin made his own opinion, did not give Wang Song any chance to explain and defend, and directly killed him.
Looking at Wang Song's corpse in a different place, Shao Lin waved his hand lightly and said, "Bury his body, no matter how big the fault is, if the person is dead, even if it is over." β
"Yes! General!" the two demons intervened and asked the soldiers below to find the carriage and pull Wang Song's body outside the city to be buried.
Xiao Cheng, who has been on the scene all the time, has a full view of everything, and at the same time, he has a further understanding of the rights of the demon underworld. Now, Xiao Cheng admires the Demon Warrior even more, and he is more eager to join the Demon Warrior.
He took a deep breath, walked up to Meng An, and said with a smile: "Old man Meng, you should see very clearly how Wang Song died, Old Man Meng thinks he is better than Wang Song? Old man Meng is a smart person, explain everything clearly, maybe there is a way to live, if you don't say anything, the lesson from the past is over there." As he spoke, he also pointed to the large pool of blood not far away.
Meng An didn't speak, the old man lowered his head, and he couldn't see what his expression was now.
Xiao Cheng frowned, the smile on his face disappeared, and he said coldly: "It seems that Meng Lao is toasting and not eating, so he wants to eat and drink?"
Without waiting for Meng An to reply, Shao Lin said impatiently: "Don't ramble with him, press back to the hotel first!"
"Yes! General Shao!" Xiao Cheng's attitude towards Shao Lin was even more respectful, and he bowed respectfully, and then stepped forward and whispered beside Shao Lin: "General Shao, his subordinates also have a lot of experience in how to use torture, so it's better to ...... It's better to hand over Meng An to his subordinates for trial, and his subordinates can guarantee that he will open his mouth!"
Now, Xiao Cheng has even become a 'subordinate' in front of Shao Lin. He took the initiative to ask Ying to interrogate Meng An, and he also wanted to take this opportunity to integrate into the demon martial arts, and indirectly reminded Shao Lin that he should not forget his promise to accept himself at the beginning.
Shao Lin felt that it was not inappropriate for Xiao Cheng to interrogate Meng An, but in fact, the focus of the interrogation was not on Meng An, but on the three assassins, he nodded and said, "Since General Xiao has this intention, then this matter will be handed over to you." β
"Thank you general!" Xiao Cheng paused for a moment, and then said with a smile: "The general still doesn't want to call his subordinate General Xiao, just call his subordinate Xiaocheng!"
Shao Lin was happy, patted Xiao Cheng's shoulder, and said, "I like a clever brother, I will mention the matter of accepting you into the Demon Martial Arts as soon as possible." β
Xiao Cheng was overjoyed, and bowed down again and again to thank him. (To be continued......)
