Previous Chapter

More deeply exposed, the weather was cold, and on Jianye Street, a woman supported a man wrapped in gauze and walked hurriedly, looking around, they wanted to avoid the guards and officials to reach the general's mansion safely, and enter through a secret passage.

"I didn't expect that the entrance to the secret passage of the General's Mansion was the back kitchen of a steamed bun shop, and I didn't expect that this famous steamed bun shop in Jianye was your industry." Wei Shuyao sighed when he helped Huan Xin move the kitchen grain and oil tank.

The passage is relatively simple, Wei Shuyao blew the fire fold, and looked at Huan Xin's wound from time to time, Li Zhen deliberately used medicine to slow down the healing speed, and now it still looks a little terrifying. Huan Xin took the fire fold in her hand and raised it high, and the scope of the light suddenly widened.

The bun shop is not far from the general's mansion in a straight line, but the passage is not short, and the two of them walked for about an hour to reach the exit.

Wei Shuyao just lifted the cover on the top of his head, and instantly put something on his neck, cold and cold, cold and cold.

"General Huan, Marquis Zhao, you have been for a long time."

A very special sound sounded above his head, as if it was sawed as uncomfortable, Wei Shuyao raised his head slightly and looked at it, and his heart "poofed". The man was wearing a mask on the upper half of his face, and a hideous scar ran through the lower half of his face, and even his lips were cracked.

Huan Xin grabbed Wei Shuyao's waist and brought her up like wind on the soles of her feet.

"Captain Zhao, don't come unharmed." Huan Xin opened his mouth coolly, and the person opposite was Zhao Chunyu, the captain of Si Li. Wei Shuyao suddenly felt bad, and sure enough, the next moment, Zhao Chunyu raised his foot and kicked Huan Xin's knee, and the soldiers behind Wei Shuyao also immediately stepped forward to hold her.

Huan Xin didn't hide, but he didn't fall either, he frowned and said coldly: "Let Wei Niangzi go, this matter has nothing to do with her." ”

"Unrelated? How to call a felony suspect in private possession has nothing to do with it! Huan Xin, when you ventilated the message and asked people to hijack the prisoner car, you didn't think about Wei Niangzi. Zhao Chunyu replied coldly.

Wei Shuyao twisted her body and struggled forward, and was grabbed by the soldier's shoulder, a bruise had floated on her wrist, Wei Shuyao denied it in a hoarse voice: "I advance and retreat with the general, willingly." ”

"So, you admit it......"

"I ......" Wei Shuyao's face turned pale, realizing that she was actually hooked by the other party's bait and fell in, she immediately pulled out a poignant smile and said, "So what?" ”

Zhao Chunyu stood up, his terrifying face became more and more terrifying under the candlelight in the room, and with a "swish", Zhao Chunyu held a knife in his backhand and struck Huan Xin the knee. Huan Xin's face suddenly turned pale, his left leg "banged" and fell to his knees, the wound on his chest instantly collapsed, and the blood spread.

Wei Shuyao looked at Huan Xin with tears in her eyes, Huan Xin frowned and delusionally thought about Wei Shuyao.

Zhao Chun squeezed out an ugly smile in his throat: "The husband and wife have a deep love and backbone, Zhao was very moved when he looked at it, I don't know if the bones were so hard when he was tortured." ”

The gust of wind whistled by, Huan Xin got up in an instant and approached Zhao Chunyu, he stared at the other party and shouted in a low voice: "Don't move people who shouldn't move." ”

Zhao Chunyu's face did not change: "Zhao is not as powerful as General Huan, stepping on the law under his feet, Wei Niangzi's three orders are in his body, and Zongzheng Mansion should be responsible." Come on, escort away! ”

Wei Shuyao was escorted into a narrow carriage, and with a creaking sound, she arrived at Zongzheng Mansion. Du Sikong, who was in charge of the prison in Zongzheng Mansion, was a shrewd person, and the current situation was uncertain, he didn't really torture Wei Shuyao, but his life was hard, but Wei Shuyao was idle.

This place was deliberately come by her promise to Huan Xin, but Wei Shuyao didn't know what Huan Xin's plan was, and she didn't know anything about the rumors outside.

At this time, on a mine only a hundred miles away from Anxi County, the road was full of porters, pulling a rally cart full of boxes marked with iron ore boxes, and along the way, there were guards with whips and whipped at them: "Hurry up, hurry up!" ”

The mine has long been abandoned, and in recent years it has been occupied by a group of mountain bandits, burning, killing and looting along the way, and several expeditions in Anxi County have failed. Who would have thought that the leader of the vicious bandits in the cottage was drinking and chatting with the chief bookkeeper of Anxi County.

"Your Majesty's order is sudden, if it weren't for the help of the big bosses, it would be difficult for this batch of silver to be transported out in such a short time, my lord is very pleased, see which position in the counties of Huaizhou you are interested in."

The leader of the mountain bandits smiled happily, grinned and said a position, not feeling the danger coming. The chief bookkeeper of Anzai County looked deeply at the long dragon of torches in the distance, and then looked at the bandits behind him.

It took two days and two nights for the porters and bandits to transport the things to the designated place, and in the mine, not only the corpses of all the bandits, but also countless porters, were thrown into the mine and piled up, and then a fire swept through the mine, and the fire spread to illuminate three or four nearby hills.

After the silver was sent to the Caoyun wharf, the chief bookkeeper of Anxi County saw Du Shuicheng with Lin Xiao's personal seal and order, and when boxes of things were loaded onto the ship, he left, and in the following days, the boats would depart in batches.

The ship departed from the Yiyang River carrying 500,000 taels of silver, and after five days, the ship would arrive at Hankou, join the Yangtze River, and go up the river to Jianye.

Since Emperor Ming of the Jin Dynasty sent Zhongshu Ling Tongwei to Ruyang and Anxi to investigate thoroughly, the court turmoil has surged, and everyone feels that Huan Xin is afraid that he will be planted this time.

In the camp of the captain of Si Li, Huan Xin was tied to a bench with a low head and a high tail, and Zhao Chunyu asked leisurely: "General Huan, waterboarding is not comfortable, are you still unwilling to confess?" ”

Huan Xin replied with a faint smile: "Huan has never committed a crime, so how can I confess." The tone was faintly mocking, Zhao Chunyu smashed the cup in his hand with a "snap", and shouted: "Execution!" ”

The soldiers lifted the bench and slammed Huan Xin's head into the water tank, the water in the tank was specially melted by ice for interrogation, and it was cold to the bone.

As soon as Huan Xin entered, he felt cold bayonets surging from all directions, and he tried his best to hold his breath, but as soon as the limit passed, ice water poured into his nose, and his brain was instantly dizzy as if he had been hit by a heavy hammer, and his throat burned like a fire, as if he was dead.

After several heavy sentences, Huan Xin's old injuries and new injuries were all at once, the wounds turned outward, blood gushed everywhere, and he was haggard and embarrassed. But his back was still straight, and his face was resolute. Zhao Chunyu looked down at him and sneered: "The Holy Lord has sent someone, General Huan and wait." ”

Huan Xin showed a plausible smile, he and Zhao Chunyu looked at each other for a long time, and replied leisurely: "Then just wait." ”

On the beach of the Hankou River, the boatmen were carrying boxes to another big ship, and the exclusive cloth sails of the imperial merchant Li family on the opposite big ship were swinging with the wind.

In the beautiful dreams of the boatmen, an elite army of 1,000 guards is galloping towards it.
