Chapter 173 Night Exploration of Zhang's Mansion

Looking at the white ape's strange behavior, Yang Ling couldn't help but ask, "What is it doing?" ”

Cheng Xie lay on his back on the branch, with a tender leaf in his mouth, and said leisurely: "Naturally, I am looking for someone!" ”

Get?

Yang Ling was slightly stunned, but quickly thought of something, and couldn't help but say: "You stayed in Pengshui County for so long to find those people who were imprisoned by Zhang Qingshui?" ”

"Clever!"

Cheng Wei praised it.

"I can't imagine that in addition to killing people, you can actually save people!"

Yang Ling couldn't help but laugh.

However, Cheng Xie shook his head and said: "You are wrong, although I have not saved people, but this time, I am not here to save people." ”

"Why?" Yang Ling couldn't keep up with his train of thought.

"Hehe, doesn't the imperial court boast of being benevolent in ruling the world, the country and the people are safe, and those who do not go well will be labeled as wicked people at every turn, then I will go against their will, let the people of the world take a good look, it is not others who do this kind of crazy thing, it is the good officials who think the court thinks they are honest!"

At this, he couldn't help but laugh, and he looked extremely happy.

Yang Ling on the side looked at him silently, although the other party hid it well, he still saw the gloom in his eyes that was about to disappear.

said that it was to take revenge on the imperial court, but in fact, I didn't want these displaced people to suffer again!

After all, Cheng Evil can save them once, so the second time? And what about the third time?

In this world where bureaucrats are rampant and bandits are rampant, their best result is that people are captured and become slaves, and most of them do not even have the opportunity to be slaves, or starve to death on the way, or are bullied and oppressed to death.

And in order to find a place to live, they can only keep running away, maybe lucky, there will be a kind person who sees them pitiful, and sends kindness to help, that is the rare time to eat a full meal.

Cheng Xie's approach seems to be a slap in the face of the court again, but it is not without the idea of finding a way out for these people, after all, when the truth of the cruel facts is exposed in front of the world, even if it is in the way of face, it is impossible for the court to ignore the life and death of these people, and will definitely send someone to place them properly, which can be regarded as making up for the viciousness committed by Zhang Qingshui as an official of the court, and appropriately saving some of the face of the court!

Of course, not everyone is like this, like Chang De is indeed a good official, if he gets the news in advance, he will naturally not leave these homeless people alone, and will definitely settle them properly.

It's just that before he had time to do these things, he was already killed!

Originally, there were some doubts about whether Changde was also a sanctimonious Yang Ling, but after hearing that he was not killed by Cheng Xi, he also believed Chunyan about him in his heart.

Seeing Cheng Evil lying on the branch as if he was pretending to sleep, his mouth hummed a few operas from time to time, it seemed so comfortable, if he was placed in the crowd, it was really incompatible with it, even among the people Yang Ling knew, he was also the most special one, as if he was not a person from this mortal world, so he would not be troubled by the gossip of the world, nor would he be constrained by the moral code of the world, living like a king of Hades, detaining the impermanence of this world.

……

Time passed slowly, and soon it was sunset.

Yang Ling sat cross-legged under the tree, sensed something, and slowly opened his eyes.

I saw the white ape running like a pedestrian, and at first glance it was nothing

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

But if you look closely, you will find that the pace is very funny.

When the white ape panted and ran in front of the two, Cheng Xie also jumped down from the tree and asked, "How, have you found anything?" ”

The white ape whined in his mouth, and there was a gesture in his hand, Yang Ling couldn't understand it, but Cheng Xie could know what he meant, and his brows suddenly furrowed.

"I've searched for a radius of ten miles, and it seems that these people are still in Pengshui County."

He knew that the white ape's ears and eyes were excellent, especially a pair of ears were extremely intelligent, he could hear the sound and distinguish the position, and perceive all the movements within a hundred zhang of the surroundings, as big as the green snake spitting letters, and so small that even mosquitoes and flies could hear clearly.

It is precisely because of this that Cheng Xie asked him to lie on the ground to search for movements, after all, the entire Pengshui County was turned over by him, but he did not find any traces of Zhang Qingshui hiding those people, and in the end he could only guess that the other party had dug some secret passage, and then smuggled people out and hid them somewhere.

In order to confirm this conjecture, he directly entered the county government of Pengshui County, slaughtered all the cadres involved in the matter, and then used this to coerce Zhang Qingshui to tell the whereabouts of those displaced people, and Zhang Qingshui is indeed a bad guy who is strong on the outside, and he honestly explained it before Cheng Xie asked a few words.

It's just that when he was about to talk about the hiding place of those outcasts, the whole person suddenly became stiff as if he had been evil, his eyes bulged, and he swallowed his breath after a while.

Seeing this, Cheng Xi, who thought he was scared to death, was so angry that he immediately dragged him out of the county office, cut off his head in front of everyone, hung it on the plaque of the county office, and then left angrily.

After a month's investigation, he also found some clues, it seems that Zhang Qingshui's mastermind behind the scenes is a person from the Witch God Sect, he has heard of this sect, he likes to use living people to refine Gu, and the use of Gu techniques is far more ruthless and vicious than the people in Miao Jiangzhong, it is estimated that when he forced Zhang Qingshui to tell the truth, there were people from the Witch God Sect hiding in the dark, and when he saw that the time was wrong, he urged the Gu worms in his body, so he quietly killed him.

Yang Ling naturally didn't know as much as he did, and when he saw him muttering to himself, he couldn't help asking, "But what did you find?" ”

Cheng Xie hesitated, but he didn't hide the clues he found, and basically told the other party everything he knew.

"Since there is no one on the surface, it must be hidden in a secret passage or a hori room, and it is most likely in Zhang's mansion, why doesn't Brother Cheng enter Zhang's mansion to check?"

Yang Ling asked in surprise, how could Cheng Xie not think of anything that even he could think of.

Hearing this, Cheng Xie couldn't help but glance at him: "Don't you want to be me?" Didn't you say that there are monsters in Zhang's mansion, how dare I go? ”

Yang Ling: "......"

"So, Brother Cheng deliberately led me to Zhang's house?"

Yang Ling was speechless for a while, but quickly guessed the other party's thoughts.

I knew that I accidentally slipped my mouth, but Cheng Xie still said with a smile on his face: "How can it be deliberate, there are really monsters in Zhangfu, if you don't believe it, you can follow me to take a look!" ”

Yang Ling looked at him deeply, thinking that he was still too tender!

When you get along with this person, you really have to be vigilant all the time, otherwise how will you know if there is a trap hidden in his next sentence, leading you deeper, and in a word, it is either pit you, or in your preparation.

"Then let's take a look!"

Even though he knew he was being used, what could he do?

If you want to know the answer, you can only rely on Cheng Xi, since you are not as smart as people, then concentrate on being a thug!

But he still said:

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

"This time, Brother Cheng won't leave me again, right?"

Cheng Wei was slightly stunned, and hurriedly said: "No, no, I'm a kind person!" ”

Yang Ling stared at him intently, and the expression on his face fully explained his mood at the moment.

Are you familiar with the word kindness?

Cheng Wei smiled and hurriedly lowered his head.

As the sunset recedes like a tide, night falls, the moon and stars are scarce, and the entire Pengshui County seems to have a gust of cloudy wind swirling and blowing, rattling.

The originally lively streets have become silent at this moment, with hundreds of lights turned off and windows and doors closed, making it look like a ghost town at first glance.

Looking at Pengshui County after nightfall, Yang Ling only felt a palpitation, and there was always an inexplicable cool breeze in his ears, like a ghost crying wolf, which made people feel cold.

He frowned, and followed Cheng Xie in the direction of Zhang's mansion.

Because the white ape was busy all day during the day, Cheng Xie let him rest in the forest at night, and he and Yang Ling were enough.

At the same time, in an inn in Pengshui County, two figures also took advantage of the night to sweep out of the window and disappear into the darkness.

……

Zhang's house.

Compared with the huge mansion during the day, there is almost no life in the Zhang Mansion at this moment, and it is gloomy, like a dead mansion.

In a bedroom where the next person was resting, two people shivered and hugged each other, although in the autumn night, they were still sweating profusely, and they were not at peace.

As if they were greatly frightened, the two of them turned blue, their lips were purple, and their eyes were bloodshot, which was particularly terrifying.

Through the faint moonlight that came in obliquely from the window, I saw more than a dozen people standing in the room, their eyes were closed, their faces looked unusually pale, their eyelids were purple, and the circles under their eyes were black, a bit like poisoning, but their lips were like normal people, and other than that, there was nothing abnormal.

It's just amazing that the dozen or so people are all standing straight like stakes, but judging from their demeanor, they seem to be sleeping.

On the spacious big bed, only the two figures were lying on it, with their backs to the wall, not daring to look at the scene behind them.

At this time, there was a sound of copper bells shaking from far away from outside the house, and the dozen or so people who were standing and sleeping like wooden stakes suddenly opened their eyes, and under a slightly sluggish expression, they walked towards the outside of the house.

Under the guidance of the copper bells, almost all the subordinates of Zhang's Mansion walked out of the room with a wooden face, and then gathered in the courtyard of Zhang's Mansion.

And in front of them, it was the shocked Mrs. Liu, who couldn't even walk steadily today.

I saw her bowing down, holding a palm-sized yellow bell in her right hand, which was shaking very rhythmically.

When everyone gathered, a person slowly walked out of the lobby behind her.

The person who came was a thin old man with a withered face and a ploughed face, and his eye sockets were deep-set, like two hollows in the dark night, which made people's hearts palpitate.

"With such a lot of effort, don't you want to make a move on the people of the Six Doors?"

The ghost-faced old man said in a low and hoarse voice.

Mrs. Liu smiled sadly: "I can't wait to find them, they will come to find us, why don't you catch them all." ”

The ghost-faced old man paused, and then slowly spit out a word from his mouth: "But! ”
