Cui Jiu had an accident.

Yang Chuan used a Khotanese jade mine thousands of miles away, in exchange for the intelligence problem? Or did something happen during the 'transaction'?

The last message from Cui Jiu only said that he had been fooled, and he didn't know anything about it; At the same time, Li Guang, the Taishou of Yanmen, sent an urgent report, saying that after Cui Jiu led 800 cavalry out of Yanmen Pass, there was no news three days ago......

……

No wonder Liu Che was furious.

Hearing this news, Yang Chuan himself was stunned, and couldn't help but ask: "Zhang Tang, what's the situation over there in Yanmen?" ”

Zhang Tang's face was ugly, and he said coldly: "Liu Ling has mixed the information you gave you, this time, you can make the Great Changmen pit bitter." ”

Because there was no other information at hand, Yang Chuan had no idea for a while, so he could only be 'escorted' by Zhang Tang and rushed to Chang'an City overnight.

was arrested together, as well as Cao Xiang and Huo Quai.

By the way, there is also an unlucky guy Li Kang, because he ran out to ask 'why do you want to arrest our military marquis', he was kicked to the ground by Zhang Tang, and ordered the two embroidered messengers to tie up the goods with a rope and throw them directly on the second 'open-top carriage', and also became a 'prisoner'.

Cao Xiang and Huo Qu were very worried about their illness and sat in the carriage silently.

Yang Chuan looked indifferent, lying on the car, holding Sister Leopard in his arms, and from time to time he had to open the curtain and look out a few times.

I have to say that the land of Guanzhong at the turn of spring and summer is really beautiful, especially at night, when the sky is full of stars and blinking, it is very provocative.

The night breeze is cool, and insects chirp.

Two specially made carriages, in the sound of broken horses' hooves, galloped rapidly, and the journey of 100 miles passed without realizing it.

When the group arrived at Chang'an City, it was still early, and from a distance, Chang'an City was like an ancient monster, black and swarthy lying on the ground, but there was also a bit of the atmosphere of dominating the world.

While waiting for the city gate to open, several people got out of the carriage and peed under a willow tree on the side of the road, yawning incessantly, and looking a little languished.

"Zhang Tang, it seems that a few of us are in a catastrophe this time, what is that, I heard that your wife has a younger sister, who is twenty-eight years old, extremely handsome, elegant, and has a good hand of needlework, I see that Ben Hou is about to be beheaded by my uncle, how about we make a deal?"

Once he has free time, Cao Xiang's scoundrel appearance can't be hidden.

Zhang Tang looked at Cao Xiang coldly and said, "Pingyang Hou said that he laughed, how dare we from a small family dare to climb the high branch of your Pingyang Hou Cao's family." ”

Cao Xiang was rejected, it didn't matter, he yawned and waved his hand: "That's it, Ben Hou actually tried your Zhang Tang's personality, and he was really straightforward and refreshing, and he enforced the law like a mountain;

By the way, how about marrying your wife's sister to Yang Chuan as a concubine? ”

Zhang Tang snorted coldly and stopped talking.

This time he was ordered to arrest people, and he was simply unlucky, obviously he was an official of the Tingwei Mansion, but whether it was Cao Xiang, Yang Chuan or Huo Quai, not only could he not be tied up and beaten, but he also had to serve tea and water, and he almost became a groom.

By the way, there is also a Li Kang!

Zhang Tang was teased by Cao Xiang for a while, and there was nowhere to vent a fire in his heart, but in a blink of an eye, he saw Li Dang, who was tied into a zongzi, grinning and laughing at himself, and couldn't help but get angry.

He slowly walked to the side of the second carriage, leaned over, and stared at Li Kang coldly: "You laugh now, and when you get to the dungeon of Tingweifu, you won't be able to laugh." ”

Li Dang sneered and said, "Zhang Tang, don't you dare to provoke Cao Xiang, Yang Chuan, and Huo Quai, and come to find me Li Kang's bad luck?" ”

Zhang Tang nodded slightly and said, "Exactly." ”

Li Dang laughed, and was about to speak, but was poked under the ribs by Zhang Tang's finger, and shrunk into a ball of pain when he landed, and wanted to speak, but he couldn't open his mouth, just deep in his throat, let out a terrible 'ho-ho-ho' hiss, which made people's scalps tingle for a while.

Zhang Tang, a well-known cool official, pretended to be a belly of torture methods, poked down with one finger, dug hard, drilled, and picked, without the slightest expression on his face with a knife.

In this way, it is enough to come over with a stick of incense.

Zhang Tang withdrew his fingers.

I saw Li Kang.

Well, it's miserable, the clothes all over my body are wet with cold sweat, my face is hideous, iron-blue, the corners of my mouth twitch, and I am overflowing with white foam......

Zhang Tang leaned down again, carefully observed Li Kang's face, nodded with great satisfaction, and turned to walk towards the other carriage.

During the whole process, this product didn't ask a word, didn't say a word, it was like a bubble of urine.

"Zhang Tang, this is so decent, what are you bullying Li Dare for?" Yang Chuan scolded a little angrily.

"Good looks?" Zhang Tang sneered, "His father Li Guang counted more than a dozen charges against Dachangmen in front of the emperor, is this called dignified?" ”

Yang Chuan, Cao Xiang, Huo Quai: "......"

Well, Li Dang is really an unlucky bastard, I can't imagine that one or two thousand miles away, he can still receive water and suffer from this 'unwarranted disaster'......

……

Nearly an hour later, the group finally came to the outside of Weiyang Palace.

Unexpectedly, a eunuch came out and passed down the emperor's dictation, saying that the three 'Ha Yi' would be imprisoned in the dungeon of the Tingwei Mansion and tortured before they were tortured.

The eunuch relayed Liu Che's original words in a tone: "Your Majesty has not yet washed and changed clothes, Your Majesty has passed down the word, and ordered Zhang Tang to put these three Ha Yi into the dungeon of the Tingwei Mansion first, beat, beat me hard, and discount the dog's legs!" ”

So, the two carriages 'creaked' and turned around and headed in the direction of the Tingwei's Mansion.

"Pingyang Hou, less Shangzao, Yu Linlang, please."

The carriage entered a heavily guarded high-walled compound, and in front of a heavy stone gate, Zhang Tangren opened the gate and said expressionlessly.

Cao Xiang and Huo Quzhi jumped out of the carriage, moving their muscles and bones, and their faces were depressed; It seems that both of them have been to this place before, and it is unknown whether they have lived in the dungeon.

Yang Chuan came to Tingwei's Mansion for the first time, so he couldn't help but look around, with a look of surprise on his face: "Tut, this is Tingwei's Mansion, it's really very magnificent." ”

Zhang Tang said coldly again: "Three, please." ”

"And you, Li Kang, don't pretend to be dead, don't get down, do you have to help you with someone's own hands?"

Li Dang's face turned pale, and he trembled and 'rolled' out of the carriage, even though there was anger in his eyes, he had to obediently follow.

The four of them walked through the stone door.

"Who is that, Zhang Tang, can you send some wine and food, as for the little dancer, it will be exempted, Ben Hou is not interested today, and he can't get up."

Cao Xiang's title is the highest, so he is at the forefront, and his mouth is still talking nonsense: "Also, Zhang Tang, don't listen to my uncle asking you to discount the doglegs of the three of us, in fact, he is cheating on you;

Do you think, the three of us are not criminals, why should we discount our doglegs? Isn't that right, why is he?

If my uncle really wants to beat someone, it will be your turn to get Zhang Tang? That's okay, when you go in later, you can get some good wine and meat or something, and we brothers will catch up? ”

Zhang Tangtie's face was blue: "Discounting people's legs does not necessarily mean that torture is used." ”

Zhang Tang suddenly changed his mind, laughed a few times sadly, and said, "In that case, Pingyang Hou, Shao Shangzao, Yu Linlang, please come here." ”

So, he led the four people, turned a corner, and walked into a bottomless road that sloped downward.

This road is more than 300 zhang deep, and it slopes down all the way, and I don't know how deep it leads to the ground; On the stone wall overhead, there were wet, 'tick-tock' droplets;

On the bluestone slab under your feet, there is a thick layer of moss, and if you are not careful, you may have to fall hard if you slip under your feet.

In addition, on both sides of the road, every few dozen steps, there is a dark grid, and there are people in it looking out coldly, which should be guards......

"I've never been to this place, why is it so cold." Cao Xiang shrunk his neck and walked cautiously to the front.

"I hope you never come back in." Zhang Tang sneered: "This is the real dungeon of the Tingwei Mansion. ”

In this way, a few people spoke, and their hearts walked for nearly a stick of incense before they came to a dark iron door.

Zhang Tang untied the waist card and asked the iron door to be opened.

With a loud 'boom', a heavy iron door was lifted upward, but it was a structure similar to the 'Broken Dragon Stone', which made people can't help but be a little afraid.

Yang Chuan probed his brain and glanced inside, shrunk his neck, laughed dryly, and said, "This, Zhang Tang, you see, I am your son's teacher, so you don't need to go into this place, right?" ”

Indeed, the scene inside!

Well, that's what you can see at the doorway, tall iron shelves, black bloodstained chains, iron hooks, and some strange torture instruments......

Zhang Tang was unmoved, took the lead in stepping into the iron gate, and said coldly: "If you don't want to come in, then go out by yourself." ”

Several people were speechless.

This place is heavily guarded, let yourself go out, and then you won't be chopped into meat and slimy in the blink of an eye?

Yang Chuan and the others had no choice but to follow.

A strong smell of blood came to his face, accompanied by a terrible scream, mixed with a few sigh-like groans, like a dying man, exhaling his last breath, which was terrifying.

This dungeon is actually very spacious, except for the hall that has just entered the door, there is a bottomless passage in the south, east, west, and northwest, and every three or five steps, there is a cell.

The mutton fat lamps and torches were burning with beeps, and the flames were flickering, reflecting here like a ghost.

Hell, this is hell.

Following Zhang Tang's 'visit' from cell to cell, Yang Chuan, Cao Xiang, and Huo Quzhi couldn't help but gasp, shrunk their necks, and looked ......

Well, these three goods turned out to be just full of compassion and sympathy, and they didn't seem to be very afraid?

Zhang Tang felt a little surprised, and couldn't help but look sideways.

Sure enough, these three people are really little monsters, in the face of all kinds of tortured prisoners, except for some unbearable looks, they can't see any panic?

On the contrary, Li Kang, who was following behind, was already pale, and he closed his eyes and quietly followed behind a few people, like a lost black blind man, which made Zhang Tang despise for a while.

"Li Kang, your father Li Guang I is a hero, how did he give birth to a fool like you?" Zhang Tang couldn't help but scold.

Li Dang was furious and opened his eyes violently: "I just can't bear to look at it, do you really think I'm afraid?" ”

Zhang Tang laughed.

"A few of them are really young heroes," Zhang Tang suddenly grinned, revealing a mouthful of white Sensen's teeth, "Then let's go to the second floor and have a look." ”

Is there a second floor of the dungeon?

Several people looked at each other, only to feel extremely depressed.

"Who's that, Zhang Tang, otherwise, forget it today, Ben Hou is tired, let's find a clean cell first and let us squint for a while." Cao Xiang laughed a few times and said.

Huo Quzhi also nodded again and again: "Yes, find a clean cell, let's sleep for a while." ”

Zhang Tang turned his head to look at Yang Chuan: "Shao Shangzao, what about you?" ”

Yang Chuan sighed and said, "Zhang Tang, you can do whatever you want, such a mother-in-law, no wonder your son Zhang Anshi looks down on you......"
