Rows of gray-clothed and coarse-clothed men, with their hands tied behind their backs and their heads drooping, were escorted to their knees by a black-armored soldier with a long knife in hand.

In the valley clearing ahead, corpses were thrown into the burning fire.

The flames burn and emit a pungent atmosphere, which makes people feel unusually uncomfortable.

Su Baotong stood on the side of the rows of coarse cloth men, his face expressionless, they didn't know how many times they had smelled this smell on the battlefield.

"Here, who is the owner behind it?" Su Baotong walked up to a big man and asked softly.

The big man covered in wounds sneered and turned his head sideways, Su Baotong immediately stepped forward, and at the moment when the big man was proud, the cold blade had already pierced into his body with endless sharp pain.

Dahan's face was full of panic, pain, and regret......

"Poof", the sound of the big man falling to the ground came to the side, and the corners of the big man's eyes next to him couldn't help twitching.

At this time, Su Baotong opened his mouth and asked, "Here, who is the master behind it?" ”

"Adult, the little one is just a small person, how can you know." The big man hurriedly kowtowed vigorously, his eyes full of panic.

"Hmm!" Su Baotong nodded lightly, and then stepped forward.

Dahan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and at this moment, he suddenly saw a cold blade appear on his chest, followed by endless sharp pain, endless darkness......

……

Li Xuan sat in front of the stone house in the back, his eyes quickly swept over the documents in front of him, as if he didn't care about Su Baotong's killing methods.

Song Jing glanced up, and sighed lightly in his heart that Su Baotong was becoming more and more like King Peng.

But for the killing in front of him, Song Jing did not refuse.

Not to mention that these people in front of them are homeless people without household registration, and they are even involved in building armor without permission and colluding with rebellion, which is extremely damned.

Moreover, the current Song Jing is no longer the supervising imperial history of the year, and he has no authority to interfere with Qianniuwei's people in dealing with rebellion.

The people of Qianniuwei themselves have a certain amount of extralegal power.

This is especially true for rebellion.

The current matter, not to mention that he is a Henan County Cheng, even the people from the Criminal Department and Dali Temple will not care.

At this time, Li Xuan's voice suddenly sounded: "Found it." ”

Song Jing immediately turned around and asked, "How?" ”

"Every month's sales records, as well as the gold and silver of each month's income, will be sent directly to Chang'an...... Changan? Li Xuan's eyes instantly sharpened.

"Chang'an?" Song Jing's face was also full of surprise, he never thought that these people would be so bold.

You know, it's Chang'an.

According to the sales records they have found so far, there are not a few swords and armor sold here every month.

Especially when receiving such a large order as the Xiao family, the copper coins harvested can fill several carriages every month.

A carriage of copper coins sent to Chang'an, is it really not afraid of being discovered by others and alarming the government.

Not to mention that they themselves have to go through a lot of checkpoints, and now it is extremely difficult for these things to be successfully sent to Chang'an.

"It shows that the people behind them have enough power." Li Xuan smiled coldly and said, "Only in this way can the government directly release it without checking it at all." It's a pity that several stewards here have been killed before, otherwise they can directly ask the identity of the person behind them. ”

"It's not too late, those people don't know nothing, there's always a clue." Song Jing looked up and looked ahead.

Those gray-clothed men only had one chance to speak, Su Baotong only asked, if he didn't say it, he would immediately have the Tang Dao behind him directly penetrate his heart.

Some people before didn't want to open their mouths, and then some people didn't know at all, and the rest of the people ......

"Don't, I say, I say." A big man in gray fell to his knees, his face full of weeping and pleading, and no one in the other companions behind him hated him, and even the indifference on the faces of these outlaws disappeared, only a look of happiness.

If someone speaks, then they don't have to die.

……

"The villain doesn't know much, the last time the copper money was transported back to Chang'an, because of the lack of manpower, so the villain was called extra, but we just sent the carriage to a courtyard in Jing'anfang, and then left Chang'an without knowing anything, went to Wugong County, stayed in Wugong County for a night, and then returned to the mountains."

The gray-clothed man lay on the ground and confided everything he knew.

In fact, as for who is the owner behind this armory, in fact, the entire armory workshop knows only one manager.

The transportation of raw materials, the trading and trading, and the transfer of money are all done by him alone, and the others have no idea who is standing behind them.

There are also times when the steward is replaced, but every time the steward is replaced, more often than not, they recognize the token and do not recognize the person.

"It's a pretty good idea." Li Xuan nodded calmly and asked, "Where is that place in Jing'anfang?" ”

"On the north side of the gate of Jing'an Fangfang, the third house." Dahan quickly said the location.

Li Xuan looked up at Su Baotong and said, "The address is already here, now immediately send a message to Chang'an, let them check, and we will pack up our things and go back to Luoyang." ”

"Whoa!" Su Baotong immediately surrendered.

Soon, all the captives, all the blades, all the raw materials, were all loaded.

All the stoves were knocked down and all the houses were burned down.

Even the water source is completely blocked.

After completely destroying this place, Li Xuan did not have the slightest nostalgia and left directly with everyone.

Song Jing rode on his horse, took one last look at the valley that was directly abandoned, and then looked at Li Xuan and asked, "Lord Wang, you really don't care about the affairs of Chang'an?" ”

"Guangping, there is one thing you must always remember, at the moment, although we are arresting people and killing people, we are not looking for evidence, and there are naturally people in Chang'an who deal with it in the same way, as for the final result, it is not something you and I can care about." Li Xuan shook his head slightly.

In this case, on the surface, Li Xuan didn't know much at all.

Although he delves into the roots, he knows a lot,

It's so much that no one can imagine.

Even secretly, there are many of them that he is quietly pushing in secret, but he must play the impression of a murder knife in the eyes of the emperor.

As for whether it was the triage of the three divisions or the confrontation in the palace, it was all arranged by the emperor to do.

Li Xuan glanced back at the depths of the valley, with a sneer in his eyes, was he really ignorant of anything here?

……

The night is dark, and the crescent moon is sinking in the west.

The two figures silently slid down the cliff and fell directly into the valley, and immediately appeared in front of them, a valley like ruins.

"Here, it's just ruined." A tall, thin masked man, looking at everything in front of him in disbelief.

There were some short and fat companions beside him, and they gave him an angry look, and then said: "Acting in the army, where can you manage so much, people catch it, take things, and the rest is to slowly extract confessions, you better make sure that those people don't know much, otherwise the master will skin us." ”

"Don't worry, only Lao Hu knows about the affairs of the family, if he doesn't want his wife and children to have something, then it's best to keep his mouth shut, and if he is really sure that he can't leave, maybe killing himself is his only choice." The tall and thin man sighed lightly, then looked at his companion and said, "Why did you sell so many batches of chain mail to the Xiao family in the first place?" ”

"We don't know which Xiao family is, we only know that it was introduced by an old acquaintance, and who would have thought that they would actually go to help King Yue rebel, if they are really implicated in the mansion now, I am afraid that I will only have a dead end." There was a hint of panic on the Humpty Dumpty man's face.

"I'm afraid of a fart, these things, the master can easily calm down, go, now hurry back and tell the master that this place has been completely destroyed." After speaking, the tall and thin man turned around and came to the bottom of the rock wall, and then pulled the rope hard, and was about to turn around and leave.

However, the moment he pulled hard, the long rope was suddenly pulled down.

No, not pulled down, but already cut off directly on it.

The tall and thin man and the short and fat man glanced at each other at the same time, and the next moment, the two of them had turned around at the same time, the horizontal knife in their hands twitched, and then their eyes looked fiercely into the valley.

At this moment, a roar suddenly sounded outside the valley, and the next moment, hundreds of horsemen had already rushed in.

Torches held high, red clothes and gold armor, all of them are Jin Wuwei.

The leader is Li Xuan.

Li Xuan stopped his horse, swept his gaze to the stone house on the side, and asked, "Did you hear something useful?" ”

"I hear you." Su Baotong took more than a dozen people and walked out from behind the stone house calmly.

Li Xuan nodded, looked at the two of them, and said, "It seems that you have prepared to die, okay, this king will fulfill you, come here." ”

Li Xuan gave an order, and more than a dozen Qianniu Guard cavalrymen with crossbows in their hands had already stepped forward, and the sharp crossbow arrows had already been aimed at the two of them.

Li Xuan raised his hand expressionlessly, and the faces of the two opposite sides were extremely terrifying for a moment.

At this time, I suddenly heard a voice of surprise from Li Xuan's mouth: "You two, has this king seen you somewhere...... It turned out to be the two of you, so ......"

"Ahh The tall and thin man and the short and fat man were suddenly extremely surprised, and then immediately fell to their knees in infinite horror: "Lord Wang, spare your life, this is our business, and it has nothing to do with my master." ”

"Does it matter, what the king said doesn't count, His Majesty said it doesn't matter, okay, send it to Chang'an...... It doesn't matter if you live or die, as long as you make sure your face isn't ruined. ”

"Whoa!" Su Baotong quickly stepped forward, and the tall and thin one of them had already raised his horizontal knife to his face.

With a "bang", the horizontal knife was directly kicked away.

Immediately, the rope had bound the two of them strongly.

Only then did Li Xuan turn around and ride his horse out of the valley.

Song Jing followed aside and asked in a low voice, "Does the prince really know these two people?" ”

Li Xuan smiled: "Why not like it?" ”

"With Guangping's understanding of the prince, the prince is afraid that he is cheating the two, after all, although the prince is quite famous in Chang'an, in fact, there are not many people who have really seen the prince at close range, as long as they are carefully checked one by one, they can all be found out immediately." Song Jing arched his hand and said: "Guangping has always admired the methods of the prince. ”

"Huh!" Li Xuan couldn't help laughing, then waved his hand, and said: "If you really don't know these two people, this king can't really use the means you said, and look for them one by one, but unfortunately, this two people have indeed been seen by this king, and they are also the guards in the home of a certain big man in the court." ”

In the end, Li Xuan's voice suddenly deepened: "If it is him, he can indeed make the guards guarding Chang'an shut up; If it is his words, he can indeed run the entire underground black market; It's his words, no matter how big a thing happens, it can be completely settled. ”

"There are not many such characters in Chang'an, who is the prince talking about?" Song Jing's brows tightened, several names popped up in his mind at the moment, but each name, implicated in the present, was enough to make people's hearts flutter.
