Chapter 114: The Messy City of Toyoshu
The method of questioning by the palace guards is to drive people crazy first, leave a sense of reason, and then ask what they want.
But Hebai and Shan Zhao obviously didn't know, and they asked one after another, and they would only shake their heads and nod their heads, which made them very disappointed, and several secret guards were a little speechless to the two of them.
The sixteen mountain bandits were about to be tortured and crazy psychologically and physically, and Ye Jielu directly asked the simple and honest two to go back to the house.
Hebai muttered wanting to hear their interrogation, Ye Jielu glanced at Hai Dongqing on the eaves on the third floor, "Go back and guard your sister-in-law and Ning'er." ”
Hebai immediately remembered his sister-in-law who was still upstairs, and pulled Shan Zhao back to the house.
Ye Jielu glanced at the mountain bandits who were in pain, specially avoided the blood and water in one place, and said in a deep voice: "Why did you pretend to be someone from the official government, when did it start, where is the stronghold, how many people there are, and which officials in Fengzhou City colluded with, explain it one by one." ”
The mountain bandits only recognized Ye Jielu as the leader of this group of people, but they didn't know what his identity was, but they heard that Ye Jielu meant to meddle in the affairs of Fengzhou City.
Secretly ripped open the cloth ball in a person's mouth, the person still had three points of reason, and scolded Ye Jielu twice: "Who do you think you are!" Dare to meddle in the affairs of the officials of Toyosu City! I want the whole family to be alive and persuade you to let us go honestly and apologize on your knees! Grandpa leave you all dead! Otherwise, the people above us will not let you go easily! I don't know the height of the sky, the little deflated calf, into the city of Fengzhou, we are the sky! ”
Dark glance quickly blocked the cloth ball back, directly let people dismantle one of his hand bones alive, and then transferred the next target and asked him one by one.
"Ask you what to answer, and if you are not honest, I will tear off your bones one by one."
Peel the skin first, then scrape the meat, and then remove the bones.
No matter how tough a person is, he can speak his heart.
At night, there were wails and begs for mercy in the backyard of the inn from time to time, and it didn't take long for them to stumble in answers, and although the people in the inn didn't know what was going on outside, they still covered their heads with quilts and pretended not to hear or know.
The moon in the sky slowly moved westward, and it was a dim dawn at the turn of day and night, Ye Jielu asked a similar answer, and the sixteen mountain bandits were also breathless.
The small backyard was covered with congealed and dull blood, mixed with snow, and it was impossible to distinguish the original appearance of the floor.
The guards found a few large wooden boxes, spread straw and stuffed the airless bandits into them at will, and the guards brought hot water from the kitchen and simply rinsed the floor.
Not sleeping all night is nothing to them, and they can even have the energy to do what Ye Jielu commanded.
"Investigate the strength of the army and generals in Toyosu City, the closeness of the relationship between the people and the government, and the position of the mountain bandits."
"Yes!"
Ye Jielu raised his feet and went back to the house, and as soon as he pushed the door, he saw the single-tone reflexive pop-out sword guarding the ground at the door, and he easily pushed it back into the scabbard.
Shan Zhao scratched his head, "Master, is the trial over?" ”
"Hmm."
Hebai, who was sleeping on the other bed, immediately bounced up when he heard the movement, and saw that it was Ye Juelu in a daze, and fell straight down and continued to sleep.
Ming Lanying, who was tired of cowering beside Ning Er, was not awakened, and listened to Xiao San's live broadcast outside the window last night in the second half of the night, and finally got really tired of listening to it, the mountain bandits' mouths were full of foul language, Ming Lan Ying felt dirty ears when she heard Xiao San's relay, and sent Xiao San to find the wolf cub, and she fell asleep next to Ning Er.
Ye Jielu didn't wake her up, and took the confused Hebai and Shan Zhao to the next room.
"It's morning, go outside to find out."
Hebai touched the corner of his mouth and stretched his waist, "Brother-what else do you want to explore?" ”
Shan Zhao rubbed his sour neck, "Stupid! Of course, it is the situation of the people in the city, the corrupt officials and bandits in Fengzhou City collude to bully and suppress the upper and lower levels, and the people in the city must know the most. ”
Hebai directly raised his foot and kicked him in the knee, snorted coldly and left, Shan Zhao covered his knee and followed behind her with grinning.
Fengzhou City is one of the closest prefectures and counties to the capital, the area is not small, the population is also large, in order to achieve bullying and suppression, in addition to having absolute power to suppress, but also to be embarrassed by the superior leaders to fight each other to cover.
There is no need to guess how many officials are involved in this, Ye Jielu directly grabbed it with a rope, and gave restless people in other states and counties a warning to kill chickens and monkeys.
The matter of Fengzhou City is easy to handle, secretly collect evidence, find the stronghold of the mountain bandits to grasp the situation, and wait for the army and officials sent by the emperor to come and forcibly take over.
After the end of Prince Heng's affairs, the power in the hands of the emperor was more centralized, but he still abolished the position of the first and auxiliary prime ministers, and changed it to the left and right prime ministers.
Ye Jielu sent an urgent secret guarantee back, and the emperor directly asked people to immediately prepare to take the new officials and 100,000 troops to Fengzhou City, and they could arrive in ten days.
Ye Jielu and the others just need to wait.
As soon as Ming Lanying opened her eyes, she saw that what was in front of her was not Ning'er, but looming, tight and beautiful pectoral muscles.
In the palace, I shared a lot of bed with someone, and his chest muscles and abdominal muscles were all shown off by him, and Ming Lanying could directly touch the two handfuls with a familiar face to enjoy the feel.
"The lady is awake? Hungry? ”
A sleepy and lazy bass came from the top of his head, and the big hand on his waist tightened, and Ming Lanying's whole body was about to be buried in that sexy chest.
Ming Lanying hurriedly raised her hand and pushed him away, "What about Ning'er?" ”
"In the next bed."
Before Ming Lanying turned around, Ning Er's muffled voice came from the bed next door.
"Mother...... Ning'er ...... here."
I haven't woken up yet, but when I heard Ming Lanying looking for him, I responded in a daze.
Ming Lanying pushed away the beauty in front of her, pulled over her clothes and got up, "Did you ask about last night?" ”
Ye Jielu came up slimy to help her cut her hair, "Well, Hebai and Shan Zhao went out to find out about the situation of the people, and they will rest in the inn for a day today." ”
Ming Lanying stretched her waist, "It's okay, after sitting in the carriage for half a month, my bones are soft." ”
When Ning'er's biological clock arrived, she slowly woke up when she heard the two of them talking, and before she could speak, she was interrupted by a quick knock on the door.
The shopkeeper outside the door was so frightened that his soul was almost gone, and as soon as he came out, he saw two more large wooden boxes next to the stable in the backyard, and the yard still faintly smelled of blood.
The mountain bandit in the official uniform died in his inn, didn't this cost his whole family!
The shopkeeper hurriedly ran upstairs and knocked on Ye Juelu's door, "The guest officer begs you to receive the supernatural powers, hurry up, my small temple can't accommodate your big Buddha!" I have an eighty-year-old mother and an eight-year-old son, please let me go to another inn! ”
Ming Lanying raised her eyebrows and looked at Ye Jielu, "You killed someone in front of the shopkeeper?" ”
Ye Juelu: "......"
The shopkeeper cried and begged Ye Jielu and his party to change the inn and leave quickly, Ming Lanying originally thought about leaving, but Ye Jielu said that the sixteen people disappeared around here, and they would definitely come to find someone, and when they left, the shopkeeper might not be safe.
There are outsiders passing by, and the mountain bandits in official uniforms know how to be a little more restrained, not to mention that Ye Jielu has guards with knives by his side, and it seems that he is either rich or expensive to go to do things and meet people, and the officials who collude with the mountain bandits and them will not let them have an accident in Fengzhou City.
Ming Lanying took Ning Er to wash, and Ye Jielu went to talk to the shopkeeper, and asked the guards to secretly transfer the two large boxes of corpses to another place to hide them first.
When Ming Lanying came out of washing, she saw the shopkeeper's bitter face, but she didn't drive them away again, and humbly invited a few people down for breakfast.
Ning Er raised her head and asked Ming Lanying suspiciously, "Mother, why did the shopkeeper drive us away?" Are we doing something bad? ”
"Uh...... Ming Lanying scratched her head helplessly, "It's hard to say, but it's also the fastest way for us to get them out of the shackles, right?" ”
Ning Er said with a straight face: "Is it related to selling yourself on the street to bury your father or something when you enter the city?" Daddy wants to help them? ”
The main avenue into the city, on the main avenue, there was a crying father shouting for his mother to sell himself to bury his father, and he was crying and begging to buy a child, and Ning Er heard it more or less.
He enlightened a little late, but he learned quickly, knowing that if such a situation occurred in a remote area, it could be said that the imperial power could not take care of it, and it was the inaction of local officials, but there could still be such a thing in the closest place to the capital, that is, it was deliberately done by people with intentions, and it should be severely punished.
"Well, your dad is in a hurry, but you can't ignore it, you can only use the fastest way, it may be a little ......"
Ming Lanying couldn't think of how to describe it, but Ning Er nodded in understanding, "Mother, I understand." ”
Ming Lanying smiled and rubbed his little head, downstairs in the lobby, the guards who stayed behind had already taken their seats to eat, and when they saw a family of three coming down, they hurriedly got up and saluted. was stopped by Ye Jielu waving his hand.
"Eat."
"Yes."
The food in the inn is not very good, and it is barely enough for the appetite of the two of them who were raised by Ming Lanying.
Ming Lanying looked at the breakfast with clear soup and little water, and had the idea of borrowing the kitchen, but it was not suitable now, so she endured two meals first.
Eating breakfast outside was also lively, and it was a normal lively morning market, but with a rush of horses' hooves from far and near, the screams broke the illusion of stability.
"Get out of the way! If there is a traitor in the city, the government will appoint him to arrest him, and those who get in the way will be guilty of the same crime! ”
Ming Lanying was stunned, she found it so soon?!
Ye Jielu calmly served the vegetables to the two of them, "It's okay." ”
A group of people in official uniforms smashed and looted like bandits, and the street soon resounded with screams and cries, and anyone who looked good to them was taken away as suspects or objects.
Ming Lanying silently squeezed the chopsticks in her hand, Ye Jielu held her hand comfortingly, and slowly sent away the wooden chopsticks in her hand.
A group of bandits quickly searched the inn here, and the shopkeeper licked his smiling face and leaned up, "Oh, a few officials! Why bother you to come in person? The small shop is so big, the official can take a look at it at will. ”
"What is there to see in your place, I asked you, have you ever seen a suspicious person? My brothers came out last night and never went back! Did you kill them! ”
They all knew that except for the wealthy merchant families with backgrounds and influences in this Fengzhou city, the other ordinary people did not even have the courage to resist.
The bandit's words were just used to frighten people, and the shopkeeper laughed tremblingly, "How can there be suspicious people?" This city gate is full of officials, how can there be suspicious people coming in! The official man laughed, the brothers of the official master should be tired of playing in the flower building and resting! ”
"Really?"
The person at the head looked fierce, and a second before they stepped into the inn, the people in the lobby who had breakfast slipped away except for Ming Lanying and his party.
The fierce man swept around the lobby, serving the same guards with knives, and a family of three in the middle of the lobby who was extremely eye-catching, looking at the clothes were not so delicate and rich, it should be just a family with a small background in the family.
The big man's eyes lit up, he touched his beard and smiled fiercely, a little background, it was not up to them to enter this Fengzhou City, there was an accident and the county order and the prefect above were in the way, what was he afraid of!
Ming Lanying felt a chill, and she couldn't wait to call the cub and scratch his disgusting eyes directly.
Ye Jielu moved to her side, blocking the big man's sight.
"You just entered the city yesterday?"
The shopkeeper smiled hesitantly, "Yes, I just entered the city, and I will continue to hurry after two days of rest." ”
The fierce man waved his hand, staring at Ming Lanying with greedy eyes, and the people behind him immediately rushed forward, "Yesterday, a traitor mixed in, and the county order specially ordered me to come and arrest and interrogate, and take them all away!" ”
The guards who were eating around Ye Jielu and a few people immediately slapped the table and drew their knives to confront each other.
The fierce man sneered, "Just arguing with the people of the government, all those who affect the affairs of the government are guilty of the same crime, and they will all be taken away!" ”
The bandits approached, and the guards were waiting for Ye Jielu's order with sharp blades in their hands, and Ye Jielu put down his chopsticks without hurry.
"Who gave you the guts to catch us?"
Dahan stared at Ming Lanying beside him, and smiled lewdly, "When you enter this Fengzhou City, it doesn't matter if the county order comes!" Above! ”
Ye Jielu looked coldly at the leading man, and his majestic body blocked Ming Lanying's sight, "Throw it out." ”
"Yes!"
Ming Lanying hugged Ning Er and covered his eyes, "There is a father and mother, you are not afraid, you are all bad people, and your father is just punishing bad people." ”
"Hmm!"
Ning Er pursed the corners of her mouth, not knowing if it was Ye Jielu and Hebai who taught him the reason for practicing martial arts, and his temperament became much more resolute and strong.
The other party's thirty-odd people, who looked mighty and tall, were not enough to fight in front of Ye Juelu's twenty guards.
Three or two were knocked out, and the big man led by him had not abandoned the next three roads, and fell in a pool of blood wailing.
Ye Jielu pinched his fingers and calculated that the army sent by the emperor should be on the way, and the guards and dark guards around him could resist for a while.
"Go back and tell the people above you that Ye Juelu, the king of Yanbei, is waiting for him here and will greet him in person."
Several bandits did not have a high status, so naturally they had never heard of King Yanbei, and they were ashamed to speak insultingly.
"your grandma's legs! What the king of Yanbei! Just claimed to be the prince! Lao Tzu is still the emperor! I'll wait for you! Not a single one can escape! ”
Ye Jielu was too lazy to listen, his body blocked Ming Lanying's sight, and he took the two of them upstairs.
"How many people do you need to deliver the message?"
"Go back to the prince, just one."
The guards understood, and one by one they gagged and waved their knives to solve the superfluous people, leaving only one who was scared stupid.
It seems that these two chapters are a bit ridiculous, so I'll revise them
