Chapter Seventy-Four: The Outsider

After returning home, Xie Zhiyun was still a little uneasy.

Seeing that she was not in good spirits, Mama Jia asked her carefully, "Miss, what's wrong?" Today's interrogation was inconclusive? ”

Xie Zhiyun shook her head, she bit her lip lightly, and asked Mama Jia: "Wei Ji said that he will suppress bandits after a while." ”

Mama Jia paused slightly, although she was also a little worried in her heart, but her face did not show half a point.

"Miss, my uncle is a general, a rare heroic warrior in heaven and earth, and a great hero of the people of Bazhou, for so many years, my uncle has fought with the grandfather of the country in the south and the north, and there have been more than 100 large and small battles, how many tragic battles in the early years can survive, but to suppress bandits, can the bandits still have a rebel army with no way out?"

That's right, with Mama Jia's persuasion, Xie Zhiyun was also a little relieved, she originally wanted to try to dream again today, but Xie Zhixing still lives in Chunhuating today, Xie Zhiyun finally gave up.

Anyway, the garrison didn't set off immediately, there was still time.

When the halberd came back tonight, he told them a good news, and Wang Eryong caught it.

But Wang Eryong's tongue was cut out, and he couldn't say anything.

Xie Zhijun asked, "Where did you find it?" ”

Wei Ji said: "There is a swill workshop in Zaoshu Town on the edge of Yezhou, and it has been doing the swill business in Yezhou City all these years, and the soldiers found Wang Eryong in the back compartment of the swill workshop when they investigated, Wang Eryong had just been cut off his tongue, and the whole person was sick, even if he was caught, his days were running out. ”

Xie Zhiyun thought thoughtfully: "It seems that this time the plan was planned by Wang Eryong himself?" ”

Before the halberd could speak, Xie Zhixing rushed to answer.

"Sister, it's not necessarily, it can't be that he didn't do a good job this time, our family of three is safe and sound, and we haven't robbed much food, so his superiors punished him, and he didn't feel good about smuggling him out, so he just didn't do anything, cut off his tongue and left him alive."

Xie Zhiyun and Wei Ji looked at him together.

Xie Zhixing puffed up his chest, and was a little proud: "How about it, am I right?" ”

The Halberd couldn't help but smile.

He reached out and patted Xie Zhixing on the shoulder and said, "Not bad." ”

Xie Zhixing smiled proudly.

Xie Zhiyun didn't give his younger brother face, and said directly: "No, you are wrong." ”

"Huh?" Xie Zhixing's smile froze on his face.

"The people behind the scenes are spies and spies, they buy the traitors, just to find out the secrets of Yezhou City, to hear the movements of the Wei family, once they learn that the traitors are useless, what do you say they will do?"

Xie Zhixing's shoulders collapsed.

"Will kill directly."

Xie Zhiyun nodded and said, "That's right." ”

Speaking of this, she was a little dry-mouthed, and unconsciously looked at the halberd.

She didn't say anything, but the halberd understood.

He took over the conversation and taught his brother-in-law for his wife.

"Wang Eryong cut his tongue, you can see three points."

Xie Zhixing: "......"

Wei Ji said: "One, Wang Eryong found out about the incident, so he planned this series of things in order to save his life. Once investigated, the first one will be found on him, and neither party will let him go. Second, because he didn't have the support of the mastermind behind the scenes, he acted hastily this time, and only a few henchmen under his command did it, so the whole plan was full of loopholes, and even exposed all the dead soldiers he could deploy, and the trap he set in the end was also very rough, and it didn't kill me at all. ”

The halberd paused word by word, and his voice was steady, without a trace of emotion.

I don't know why, Xie Zhixing just felt a chill in his heart, and couldn't help but shiver.

Wei Ji's eyes kept falling on Xie Zhiyun, and he didn't care if his brother-in-law understood it or not.

"Third, Wang Eryong hid in the swill, and at first he was hoping to escape, but when he heard the sound of soldiers searching the village, he cut out his tongue himself."

"He wants to save the lives of his wife and children."

Xie Zhixing couldn't help but sit up straight.

He looked at the halberd in a daze, as if he didn't understand his last words.

The cruelty of this world, he just saw the tip of the iceberg, and he thought that he could hold on, but when the huge iceberg appeared in front of him little by little, he still couldn't help but tremble with fear.

Xie Zhiyun poured a cup of tea for the halberd and took the flower head himself.

Her voice was gentle and her tone was gentle, but the cruelty in her words was as good as that.

"The reason why Wang Eryong didn't take away his wife and children was because he knew the virtues of the Wei family, and knew that the young general would not kill innocent people at will, even if he was a traitor, he always believed in Wei's character."

"But he didn't believe in those people, he didn't believe that they would keep their promise and not hurt them, so he took the initiative to cut out his tongue to make his intentions clear."

He told them with his tongue and his life: "I will not say a word, and do not hurt my wives and children." ”

It was only when the guillotine was about to fall that he remembered who he was going to trust.

Xie Zhixing was sullen in his heart, and he asked with some puzzlement: "Will those people really let go of the Wang family?" ”

Xie Zhiyun couldn't answer this question.

But the guard opened his mouth: "After this matter is over, the lady of the Wang family and a pair of children will change their names and surnames, and they will become other people in a few months, arrive in Tongchuan through a caravan, and be deceived of all their belongings in Tongchuan, and become the defenders of Tongchuan City from now on." ”

"The people who Wei wants to protect will not leave any mistakes."

The child is innocent, and the lady of the Wang family has no major crimes, all of this was done by Wang Eryong alone.

He used his own tongue to try to hope for the safety of the whole family, and also used his life to ask for Wei's mercy.

He doesn't ask for forgiveness, he doesn't ask his wife to live for a long time, just a chance.

Xie Zhixing asked: "Then he can't say a word?" ”

Wei Ji smiled faintly: "Yes, he can't say a word." ”

Xie Zhiyun looked at the halberd and saw that there was light in his eyes, which was as warm as the warm sun in the daytime.

She probably understood that Wang Eryong would not do anything unprepared.

The tongue is gone, but he's still alive.

Xie Zhiyun calmed down, she looked at Xie Zhixing: "Okay, now that you know it, these things are pressed in the bottom of your heart, and you are not allowed to tell anyone." ”

Xie Zhixing really forgot Wang Eryong's secret, and he was dissatisfied: "Sister, I'm not a fool, how can I tell outsiders." ”

He muttered, "Besides, I don't know any outsiders." ”

Xie Zhiyun pushed the soup bowl forward, told him to shut his mouth, and then also filled the halberd with a bowl of soup.

The fragrant chicken soup was pushed in front of him, and the halberd raised his eyes, but looked at the man behind the fireworks.

The steaming mist could not hide her face, nor could it block her eyes.

The halberd looked at her and nodded at her.

Xie Zhiyun understood what he meant, and also bowed his head.

Xie Zhixing: "......"

Xie Zhixing snorted, forget it when I don't exist.
