It was dim and low, with only a faint amount of sunlight shining through the cracks.

Most of the gray-brown stone walls have been completely peeled off, leaving mottled marks that give people a cold and gloomy oppressive feeling.

In the dark corner, there was a man curled up, his head buried deep in his knees, his hands wrapped around him to stop his gaze.

It seems that by doing so, you can't see the places that make people feel scared and frightened.

It's just that the slightly trembling body, the faint sobbing, betrays him.

There is more than one such scene.

And they have a resounding title, that is, members of the Xiaoxiang Society.

This is what terrified everyone - the prison of the city defense camp.

Without the protection of their family, they are like lost dogs, huddled in the shadows, begging for the eyes of those people not to be on them.

Perhaps doing so will give them a sense of comfort.

With the sound of the chains, their bodies trembled violently like frightened deer.

The whitening lips were still muttering inaudible voices, and fear filled their hearts again.

His head was lowered again deeply, like an ostrich in danger, and he buried his head deep in the sand.

So that the danger is kept away from them.

"You, come out and come with us"

Two jailers walked in, and their calm voices were like ghosts seeking their lives in the night, and their shrunken figures were terrified.

The whole person is like a tumbler swinging.

"Hurry up and get out"

Seeing that this person did not move, the jailer's tone increased.

However, this did not help, but only made them more afraid.

"Damn, wait for me to go in and see how I clean you up, you really think of yourself as an uncle"

The jailer was a little annoyed, and he opened the door with great force, and walked towards the figure with vigorous steps.

A rude grasp of him was about to walk back and forth, and there were soldiers waiting for them outside the door.

"Ah......h

The sudden scream startled the jailer, and he quickly let go of his hand and took a few steps back.

Knowing that his back was against the wall, his panicked eyes kept looking around, and he thought he had seen a ghost.

After a while, the jailer breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that nothing strange had happened.

looked at the trembling figure squatting on the ground, his eyes were full of cold, and he kicked it up.

The intensity has been somewhat restrained, and his mouth is still scolding, obviously angry at the fright just now.

No matter how the figure trembled, the jailer pulled his arm hard and walked outside.

The light brightened and shone on the panicked figure, allowing him to struggle, but his body kept moving outward.

Until the bright sunlight pierced his eyes like a scorching light, he stretched out his hand to block his eyes, and gradually opened them.

He looked up at the sky, then looked around, a place he was familiar with.

The prison of the city defense camp has obviously passed a few days, but there is a feeling that I have been staying for several years.

Tears fell on the dark palms......

"Let's go, let's go faster"

The soldier shoved him, staggering towards the unknown, and his heart was filled with endless fear.

In the past few days since he came to prison, nothing has happened that should have come to his mind.

However, whenever night came, there would always be a strange roar and a terrible sound, mixed with a terrible laugh, which made him collapse.

His face, which had been fresh, was now thin and sallow, his brocade clothes were gone, stained and smelly, and his hair was like withered grass.

"Get on your knees"

When he came to a clean and spacious place, when he was dazed, there was a soldier's shouting behind him.

With a loud shout, the thoughts in his mind disappeared in an instant, replaced by fear and fear.

With a bend of his body, he knelt down, his head bowed like a prisoner being executed.

Sitting on the chair, Yun Xuan looked at this person so frightened, and a strange look flashed.

It's like sending someone to scare you, and it's like seeing a ghost. When he is doing mischief, he steps on the law and hits the great master with his head, such an unstoppable appearance; But a little scare is like a dead dog, which is really despicable.

"What's your name?"

After looking at it for a while, Yun Xuan asked.

"In vain...... Yuelan ...... Great"

Bai Yuelan lowered her head, her face was pale, her eyes trembled slightly, and her throat was filled with words that were difficult to speak.

As he choked, his voice became trembling, as if he had been squeezed out of his teeth, and it became extremely difficult.

Bai Yuelan?

And the name?

"Tell me about your experience of joining the Xiaoxiang Club, if you have a good attitude, you can deal with it as appropriate, otherwise you know the consequences."

The voice was plain, but in Bai Yuelan's heart, it was like a thunderclap, and she was shocked in her heart.

"Big ...... My lord, when the grass people were chatting with friends a few years ago, they overheard the Xiaoxiang meeting.

It is known that its power is vast and mysterious, and anyone who can join it can get its protection.

So I was curious, and then I joined in," Bai Yuelan said.

"Who allowed you to join it?"

Hearing this, in general, as Yun Xuan expected, these outermost members basically went to the name of the Xiaoxiang Society.

As for what Xiaoxiang will be, he doesn't know at all, it's really a pig's nose with green onions, and he can't be imprisoned if he can't change the order.

"It's a big man"

"Who is he?"

"The grass people don't know, we all call him Lord Mo"

"Where is the place where you Xiaoxiang members gather"?

"Lin Baolou in quotation marks around Nanning Block in the east of the city, we all gather here, and then listen to the teachings of Master Mo"

"What do you need to pay as a price to join it?"

…………

"Come, take him down"

After a while, Yun Xuan also had a certain understanding of these peripheral members.

They need to pay 1,000 taels of silver every year, and they are not allowed to divulge all the information they know about the Xiaoxiang Society without the permission of their superiors.

In return, when they encounter something that cannot be solved, they can ask Xiaoxiang to solve it for them.

They also have the opportunity to meet members who are one level higher than them.

These people all have a lot of power behind them, and any one of them can beat the family of these peripheral members.

But underestimating such an ordinary opportunity is enough for these people to feel crazy.

You must know that when you come out to mix, the most important thing is the force behind you, if you are backed by a powerful force, you can make people take a lot less roads.

Even if they meet some people they can't provoke, they will not care about the face of the forces behind them.

Just like Wu Duan, in order to get the care of the Blood Knife Gate, he paid a lot of money to get on the line with them.

It's a pity that the route just opened up and burped.

After thinking for a while, Yun Xuan asked someone to bring the next one forward.

The same question is asked to the next person, basically eight or nine are not far from ten.

In their capacity, the highest person who can recognize is the unknown Mo Daren.

With a wave of his hand, let the soldier hold him down.

After learning the exact news, Yun Xuan did not send someone to arrest that Master Mo at the first time.

Instead, he sat here and waited, looking out at the sky......

An hour later, someone went to bring the Mo Master back for interrogation.

Holding his chin with one hand, such a long time was enough for Qian Yan to solve this matter.

It's ridiculous to say, in fact, Yun Xuan didn't think about moving the Xiaoxiang Club at all, just to have a reason to increase patrols.

Not only did not let the people of that mansion feel that there was a problem, but they were able to send soldiers to patrol the west of the city to prevent any more women from going missing.

Only then did he make some small things with the combination of flowers, but it was unexpected and he didn't expect it. actually caught a subordinate next to a member of the Xiaoxiang Society.

Since they met, there was no reason to let it go, so through interrogation, they got the names of several other members.

The reason for the personal interrogation is to prevent them from saying something that should not be said.

It turned out that Yun Xuan thought too much, and they didn't know some valuable news at all.

As for that Master Mo, it is estimated that ......

Xiaoxiang will definitely be eradicated, but not now.

Maybe Yun Xuan thought about peeling off the cocoon before, peeling it off layer by layer like an onion, and in the end, only the heart inside remained.

This method is the mildest and the least resilient.

But God was not beautiful, and since he found out that there was something sloppy about that mansion, an even bolder idea came to his mind.

Only one fuse is needed to suppress the Xiaoxiang Society, the nobles, and the family, and they are no longer qualified to cover the sky with one hand.

It's just that the backlash brought by this method is unprecedentedly large, not to mention Yun Xuan, even the emperor can't bear it.

If you want to wash these people without relying on force, Yun Xuan doesn't have a clear idea in his mind.

It is precisely because of this consideration that some of those people were first deterred and let them keep to themselves.

When they think of a way, they will be completely wiped out, so that they will no longer have the ability to interfere with the government.

Be honest and be an ordinary family.

If Qian Yan knew the truth of the matter, he would definitely vomit blood in anger......

At the same time, a group of soldiers headed towards Lin Baolou in quotation marks in the Nanning neighborhood in the east of the city.

"Open the door, open the door"

The soldier knocked on the door and said loudly.

After waiting for a while, no one showed up.

"Open the door, we are soldiers of the city defense battalion"

Loud voices reappeared.

The captain on the side tightened his eyebrows and came to the door, wanting to knock hard, but suddenly there was a faint smell of blood in the air.

His pupils shrank, his face turned pale, and then he kicked it away.

"Search"

"Captain, someone has been killed here"

A soldier said loudly.

"There's one here too"

"I have this too"

"I have ...... too"

In a short time, nine corpses were found, and the captain squatted and looked at the wounds on their bodies.

The wounds are narrow but deep, all of them are one-hit kills, and the killer has a very thick internal strength, and he is a master with a sword.

Then he looked up the stairs, and there was a mess all over the place, stools, chairs, and candlesticks, all of which fell to the ground.

There was also a place of broken saucers, as if they had been looted, and all the things of value were gone.

"You guys stay here, no one is allowed in"

After a stick of incense, the captain left with someone, ready to report the situation here to Yun Xuan.

"My lord, the truth when my subordinates arrived, everyone in the Baolin Building was killed, and all the precious items disappeared."

The captain said truthfully.

Hearing this, Yun Xuan's eyebrows tightened, his eyes flickered, and then he said, "Block the Baolin Tower, bring these corpses back and hand them over to the priest."

"Yes, my lord"

When the captain left, a chill flashed out of Yun Xuan's eyes.

"Dead Again"

"I didn't expect such a good person as Master Ji to suffer such bad luck, and I don't know who is so vicious"

"The prince will definitely find out the murderer, Master Ji is usually kind and helpful, we must not let him die in vain"

Seeing this, the surrounding people were filled with grief and indignation, and their hearts were full of anger and sadness.

The person who died was called Ji Yi, and he was a well-known good person on this street, who was righteous and squandered money, and would lend a helping hand to anyone in difficulty.

Therefore in the hearts of the people, he was a great man.

However, they didn't know that Ji Yi had another name, called Master Mo.

…………

Time passed little by little, and soon the sunset covered the sky, and the afterglow of the setting sun poured over the pedestrians.

Shining on their way home, a faint smile hung on their faces, and the breeze blew the corners of their clothes......

And when Yun Xuan returned to the palace, the familiar carriage appeared again.

This made his eyebrows furrow slightly, he didn't expect Jing Shu to come so diligently.
