In an instant, a long halberd swept through the air with the sound of breaking the wind, whistling towards Yang Leyu.

When Yang Leyu's pupils shrank suddenly, Du Kang jumped violently and blocked her with his body.

"Young Master Du!" Yang Leyu shouted with all his might.

Du Kang spurted blood from his mouth and fell to the ground.

"Young Master Du!" Yang Leyu lifted his shoulders, let him lean on his knees, and said in a trembling voice: "Don't be afraid, I will stop the bleeding for you immediately." ”

Du Kang's mouth continued to flow blood, and he spit out a few words with difficulty, "Le Yu...... Get to know you....... I have paid off my debts. ”

Yang Leyu kept shaking his head, covering his wound with a handkerchief, and comforting: "You hold on a little longer, it's okay!" ”

Du Kang knew that his fate was about to run out, and looked at Zhang Qi. Zhang Qi has already released his suspicions and no longer blames him.

Du Kang said: "Zhang Qi...... If you don't think so, you and I ...... Is it good to worship as brothers with different surnames? ”

Zhang Qi nodded, "Young Master Du, you and I are both hard-working people, and it is rare to have a fate, I promise you." ”

Du Kang smiled when he heard this, and said to Yang Leyu: "Shuangsha...... Like you....... You ......."

He was bleeding profusely, and he gradually closed his eyes before he finished speaking.

"I will adopt Shuangsha," Yang Leyu's heart soured, and he gently placed him on the ground, "Young Master Du rest assured." ”

The shuangsha walked over and rubbed against his cheek, as if to say goodbye.

Yang Leyu picked up Shuangsha and looked at Du Yuanwai, "Is your heart really long?" How can there be a father like you? Even if it's a stone, it's time to get along day and night for so many years! ”

Du Yuanwai glanced at Du Kang, and his face did not show any regret. His heart was fleshy, but it had long been rancid after being soaked in dirty money.

At that time, I suddenly heard the deafening sound of iron hooves trampling, and when I looked back, Mu Chengzhou and Jiang Ben led one hundred and ten iron horsemen to rush in.

Jiang Ben shouted violently: "Your Majesty has arrived, dare to be disrespectful!" ”

These iron horsemen were brought from the Jiangnan Mansion, and when they got off the boat this morning, Mu Chengzhou and Jiang Ben went to ask for help, which gave them full confidence and momentum.

Du Yuanwai was stunned for a second, and was about to run away in an instant, when Zhang Qi tripped over one leg and cut his arms and pressed them to the ground.

Mu Chengzhou straddled the horse and walked to Yang Leyu's side, "I am late for escort, has the little sheep been injured?" ”

Yang Leyu smiled slightly: "I wasn't injured, I just ......" She glanced at Du Kang sadly, "Young Master Du died to protect me, and he should be buried by boat." ”

Mu Chengzhou took off the big hat draped on his back and put it on Du Kang's body, and then walked in front of Du Yuanwai, and looked down with low eyebrows: "I heard that Du Yuanwai killed decisively, not only killed his son who had been raised for decades, but also intended to murder the queen and the secretary of the Ministry of Rites." ”

"The Book of Rites?" Zhang Qi looked at him in surprise.

Jiang Ben said in a loud voice: "Lord Zhang, Your Majesty has decreed that you will be named the secretary of the Ministry of Rites and Rites, and you will leave for Beijing to resume your duties in the near future." ”

Zhang Qi's eyes widened, and when he reacted, he kowtowed: "Master Mu....... No, Your Majesty! Your Majesty's Holy Grace, the grass people are immoral and incompetent, and they dare not be ashamed! ”

Mu Chengzhou: "I didn't say that you should take office immediately, Qianjun is rotten from the bottom, you have to take care of me properly and find the abducted children." ”

Zhang Qi thanked him again and again, "The grass people are grateful, and they must abide by His Majesty's earnest teachings!" ”

Mu Chengzhou smiled and pressed the tip of his boot against Du Yuanwai's chin, "I am not such a vicious person as the people say, you wanted to run just now but didn't have a chance." I'll give you another chance now, to see if you're fast with your legs or with your bow and arrow. ”

Du Yuan glanced at the bow and crossbow in the group of iron riders, and couldn't help but shudder, "The sinners don't dare!" The criminal knows what His Majesty wants to ask, the abduction and trafficking of children is all Lao Pei, uh, it is all planned by Pei Shilang, we are just obeying his orders and being forced to call for him! ”

"What a forced call!" Yang Leyu interjected: "Is it also forced to earn black money with a conscience?" ”

Du Yuanwai kowtowed vigorously, "Your Majesty spares your life!" Pei Shilang covers the sky with one hand in Qianjun, I am just a small person with an idle official position, how dare I trespass? He threatened the lives of my wife and concubine, which made me have to obey him! ”

Mu Chengzhou hooked his lips and smiled: "Wife and concubine? It's the women on the flower boat? ”

Du Yuanwai looked up at him with the big bag knocked out of his head, "Yes, yes, yes!" Your Majesty is wise! ”

Mu Chengzhou's smile suddenly melted, and he stomped on his head and stepped on his face to the ground, "Wise fart!" Are you determined to deceive me as a fool? ”

Du Yuanwai's cheeks rubbed on the ground, and said vaguely: "The minister doesn't dare....... The minister is really considerate of his wife and concubine to obey Pei Shilang's orders. ”

Mu Chengzhou's feet were a little more ruthless, "You just called Lao Pei kindly, but I forgot to tell you that he had already run away." ”

Du Yuanwai was startled, and wanted to raise his head but couldn't, so he had to hold his eyes and look up, "He ran away!?" ”

Mu Chengzhou: "He is the official of the third grade of the imperial court, and he can't run fifteen on the first day of junior high school." Moreover, I have hung his children and wife in the capital on the city wall, and if he does not come back to confess, I will not put them down for a day. Counting the days, his family will be starved to death within ten days, and within half a month, the wind and sand will dry their corpses. ”

Du Yuanwai trembled when he heard this description, Zhang Qi didn't dare to come out, only Yang Leyu knew that Mu Chengzhou's ability to scare people had always been first-class, and even she was afraid when she first saw this person.

Mu Chengzhou said in a low voice: "Your group of wives and concubines are worthless, and they can't threaten you." It's more useful to deal with someone like you who is not even as good as a mouse. ”

He let go of his feet and looked at the city dish in the east of the city, "Tsk, it's not high enough here to hang it, right?" ”

Du Yuan's nose and face were swollen and nodded in agreement, "Yes, Your Majesty, the minister's body is huge, and he can't hang up!" ”

The smile on Mu Chengzhou's lips widened slightly, "It's okay, then it's just right to divide the five horses." ”

Before Du Yuanwai could react, Jiang Ben tied hemp ropes around his neck, arms and feet, and hung them on the bodies of the five strong horses.

"Your Majesty! Don't, Your Majesty! Du Yuanwai hissed and struggled, and the whole person was like a clown jumping off the beam, "The minister is willing to provide the list of buyers for tonight's transaction, and I only ask Your Majesty to spare the minister's life!" ”

Mu Chengzhou raised his eyebrows, "Bring it." ”

Du Yuanwai thought that he was about to be saved, and quickly took out a roster list from his arms.

The buyers listed in the list are highly consistent with the geographical distribution on the road map, and many of the children are identified by a region around Persia called 'Mandarin Duck Crossing'.

Mu Chengzhou: "Where is the Mandarin Duck Crossing?" I've never heard of it. ”

Jiang Ben said: "This place is barbaric, after the fall of the previous dynasty, there are remnants of sins who fled here, but due to the bad weathering of the water and soil, most of the dead and wounded, the rest went to Persia." ”
