Chapter Twenty-Nine: Fishing for People
Pitch-black cells, dim oil lamps, and moldy floors everywhere. The days after the middle moon were extremely cold for the bare-chested, but it was good news for Lian Shen, because the wounds drawn by the salted whip were not so painful.
Of course, it was only a slight relief from the pain, and if he didn't escape, he would either bleed to death or freeze to death.
"Hanyu, Grandpa Xu still said a word, and he explained honestly, so as not to be tortured." In front of Lian Shen, an old man with a wrinkled face seemed to be quite sorry and said: "The family law of the Xu Mansion is like this, I can't help it, if you explain it honestly, maybe Grandpa Xu can still give you a good time." ”
"I didn't," Lian Shen said weakly: "I haven't divulged the secrets of the Xu Mansion, I'm just a bird breeder, how do I know any secrets." ”
"It seems that you don't cry when you don't see the coffin." A sharp light flashed in Xu Fusheng's eyes: "You are actually literate, you peeked at the second miss's message last time." ”
"No, that's just the second miss......" Lian Shen hurriedly wanted to argue.
"Hanging Mirror Division." Xu Fusheng interrupted Lian Shen's argument, and then looked at him playfully: "Why don't you continue?" ”
couldn't hide it, Lian Shen looked at the housekeeper of the Xu Mansion in front of him in astonishment, he didn't know what was wrong with him, but the housekeeper Xu had already said that the Hanging Mirror Division, and his identity over there was already fully known.
"Let's be honest, how much have you told the secret of the Xu Mansion?"
"Don't say it?" Xu Fusheng looked at the silent Lian Shen and let out a sneer: "Keep fighting!" ”
As soon as the big man on the left and right was about to step forward with a whip in his hand, Xu Fusheng raised his hand again and said, "Change the iron whip." ”
I couldn't stay any longer, watching the big men pick up the iron whip with barbs, Lian Shen knew that he had to escape, and if he continued to be tortured no matter what, he would be abolished.
So, just as the big man was about to swing the iron whip down, a fist shadow arrived first.
"You actually know martial arts!" Seeing that Lian Shen, who was originally half-hung with his hands tied, not only suddenly broke free of the rope, but knocked the thug away with one punch, Xu Fusheng couldn't help but be angry: "Take him down!" ”
In Xu Fusheng's opinion, even if Lian Shen has some kung fu, the thugs in the Xu Mansion are not all vulgar hands, and they will not be able to support it for long when they have been beaten overnight. But what Xu Fusheng didn't expect was that Lian Shen's martial arts were not low, and a set of boxing techniques was played, and none of the thugs in the private prison were his opponents.
"Go and call someone, stop him!" Watching Lian Shen repel a bunch of thugs and escape from the dungeon, Xu Fusheng couldn't help but say anxiously.
However, Lian Shen, who escaped from the dungeon, was not happy at this time, the wounds on his body had just collapsed again, and his body was already oozing blood everywhere at this moment, and he looked extremely inferior. Moreover, when he was in the dungeon, everyone couldn't use it, so they gave him the opportunity to break it one by one, but when all kinds of swords and clubs attacked outside, even though his martial arts were higher than everyone present, his two fists were invincible to four hands, and it would be troublesome to fall into the siege if he was truthfully encircled. Besides, Steward Xu was right, Lian Shen was indeed at the end of his crossbow at the moment, and he was afraid that he would really lose his strength after a while.
When he came to the Xu Mansion compound, Lian Shen looked at the Xu Mansion thugs who were gathered by the shouts, and he was white that he needed to fight quickly. By virtue of his familiarity with the Xu Mansion, Lian Shen relied on the terrain to avoid being surrounded by everyone as much as possible, but he also escaped to the dark passage that had been prepared long ago by taking advantage of the night, "I'm sorry Second Miss." Lian Shen knew that if he left like this, the second lady would inevitably be implicated, but if he didn't leave, he would definitely be dead.
Although I am a member of the Hanging Mirror Division, I have never revealed any information about the Xu Mansion, and even Shen himself does not believe this kind of thing.
After Lian Shen fled, the annoyed Xu Fusheng could only report to Xu Qian.
"People fled?" Xu Qian was not in a hurry after hearing this, and was still as steady as Mount Tai.
"Old lady, Yu Sheng has always been close to the carrier pigeons, I'm afraid that some news has been ....... Got it. The old housekeeper of the Xu Mansion was far less stable than Lord Shoufu, and said eagerly.
"No problem." Xu Qian waved his hand: "Whether Your Majesty knows it or not, it makes no difference." Whether I do it or not, Your Majesty will take me as if I will do it. It's the spies in the house, and this time it's going to be cleaned up. ”
"Yes."
After the steward retreated, Xu Qian looked at the still mellow autumn moon in the sky and thought: "In the past few days, all the families in Lingjing are probably cleaning up the yard." ”
After all, a scheming and young emperor, the family, may not be able to bear it.
On the other side, after Lian Shen escaped from the mansion, he wanted to rush to the secret stronghold, but halfway through, he had to stop. He was surrounded by a group of people, but looking at the people who came, Lian Shen secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Lian Shen greets your lord." ”
"I didn't think you could escape." The person who came looked at the wounds on Lian Shen's body, which meant that he was not shady: "Many secret agents are missing today, I can't imagine that they can escape, it seems that your kid is good." ”
"It was also forced by the situation, and I had to do it as a last resort, Xu Fu had seen through my identity, and I had to break free from the pursuit and escape." Lian Shen said cautiously, he was worried that the adults on the other side would take the opportunity to hold him accountable for his dereliction of duty.
"It's okay, it's good for people to come out, how about it, how is the news you inquired in Xu Mansion. In addition to the news on the dark side yesterday, what kind of news did Xu Qian's old thief secretly send to Mingjian Villa? ”
"This ...... Mr. Guo, is it a little inconvenient to not be in the office here? Lian Shen frowned, he didn't expect the other party to ask him for such important news as soon as they met today, he usually wouldn't be so anxious, sometimes, Lian Shen even felt that the other party didn't care if he could get the news out.
"Why, after staying in Xu Mansion for a few days, I really feel that I am from Xu Mansion?" However, Lord Guo on the other side suddenly said sharply: "The situation is so urgent at this moment, why don't you tell the news you have found out quickly, what are you waiting for?" ”
Hearing Lord Guo's words, even Shen was struggling. Previously, although he was a spy arranged by the Hanging Jing Division to enter the Xu Mansion, at most he was responsible for some surveillance, and if the news of the investigation was told at this moment, I am afraid that it would really flood the entire Xu Mansion.
In the end, Lian Shen struggled for a moment in his heart, and said with a smile: "I hope that the Lord will forgive the sins, Lian Shen's ability is limited, and in order to find out that Xu Qian's old thief has privately sent some secret letter to Mingjian Villa." Lian Shen knows that his ability is low, but he is punished by adults. ”
However, in the face of Lian Shen's low voice, Master Guo snorted coldly: "Hmph, do you not want to say it or don't want to say it?" ”
"My lord, there is no ...... below"
"I don't care where Jin Dan is, but it can't be in Jingshi." Guo An looked at Lian Shen playfully: "You not only didn't report such important news, but tried to hide it, how the Hanging Mirror Division dealt with traitors, do you know?" ”
Lian Shen looked at Guo An with a shocked expression: "How is it possible, how do adults know?" ”
"How do you know? The dead still don't need to know. Guo An sneered: "Do it, kill him!" ”
"My lord forgives my sins, and Lian Shen is willing to make meritorious contributions to his crimes......" Lian Shen shouted, but the people around him had already killed him. The Hanging Mirror Division is naturally not the kind of Xu Mansion thugs that can be compared, and the personnel in it are all equipped with martial arts, and the characteristic cold arc blade is even more devouring chill. At this moment, Lian Shen was injured, and he had experienced another chase just now, and his physical strength was already exhausted, and he might not be able to fight alone, not to mention being besieged with his bare hands at this moment. In just a moment, there were a few more bloody and terrifying wounds on his body.
"Hmph, meritorious service? If you die today, you will be meritorious. Guo An said, seeing that although Lian Shen was in a hurry, he was desperate to fight his way out, so he threw out three darts.
Lian Shen couldn't parry, and he didn't react in the face of the sudden attack, so he could only eat the darts, and then jumped into the waterway on the side by taking advantage of the gap that was scattered for fear of being injured by mistake.
"My lord, this person jumped into the water and ran away."
"Hmph, it's okay," Guo An sneered: "He was seriously injured and hit my poison dart, and he is dead." Let's go, go and solve the next one. ”
After saying that, he took everyone and left.
Besides, although Lian Shen was exempted from pursuit, he was seriously injured, but he couldn't hold on. Desperately swimming underwater, I don't know how far I could hold my breath, and soon I felt a chill invade me, and when I was about to pass out, I barely lay myself on the water, and I could only let myself flow with the current. Perhaps, I'm going to die just like that, I'm sorry Master, I'm sorry Senior Sister, Lian Shen can't avenge you.
Just before Lian Shen was about to completely lose consciousness, he seemed to vaguely hear the girl shouting: "Ten ..... Childe, come out and take a look, it seems that there is a person floating here. ”
"What, someone actually floated in the water, early in the morning, winter swimming?" Li Dongsheng pretended to be surprised and walked to the bow of the boat, and at a glance saw Chuncao pointing at Lian Shen in the water.
Although he estimated the time to drive Chuncao outside in the name of untying his hands, but this Chuncao's eyes were really sharp, and he didn't even have time to pretend to take off his pants, and Chuncao looked at people.
But since things were going well, Li Dongsheng called the boatman and Chuncao to help get Lian Shen up.
Later, Li Dongsheng announced the end of the two-day "sailing" trip under the pretext of saving people. After all, the tool man on the yin side has already arrived, why don't you hurry up and go home, are you waiting to get rheumatism on the water?
