Chapter 165: Fujiwara Nakaichi enters the dungeon
Tai Hao looked up and down at Fujiwara Nakaichi, who was "fixed", and asked, "How many Japanese samurai are hidden here?" ”
Fujiwara Nakaichi scolded: "Bastard, let me go!" I didn't expect you to ......."
Tai Hao said: "This official still advises you to answer the question honestly, otherwise you will die here today!" You can't move your body now, only your mouth can speak, if you don't answer the official's questions seriously, then go to Hades and talk about it! ”
Hearing Taihao's threat, Fujiwara Zhongichi could only say helplessly: "There is only me here." ”
"My lord, come and see here!" Neng Jin suddenly shouted to Tai Hao.
Taihao hurriedly walked over and saw a whole sack of herbs emitting a strange fragrance. After reading this, Taihao came to Fujiwara Nakaichi and asked, "Who are those herbs for?" Whose women's clothes do they have? ”
Fujiwara Nakaichi: "Of course it's all mine!" ”
Tai Hao said: "The people nearby say that a man and a woman often come in here, and then never go out, that man is you, who is that woman?" ”
Fujiwara Nakaichi: "I don't know what you're talking about!" ”
Tai Hao smiled: "Fujiwara Zhongichi, this official advises you to still see the situation clearly, we have fought twice before, where is the woman who used the hidden weapon with you?" ”
Fujiwara Nakaichi didn't speak again, and Taihao saw this and continued: "Don't you say that in fact, I have already guessed that the beautiful girl who is lurking in the City Lord's Mansion now is the woman who is with you, right?" The reason why I didn't recognize her was because she came every day to take that kind of disguised herb, right? ”
Fujiwara Nakaichi was speechless for a moment, because Taihao had already guessed everything correctly.
Tai Hao asked, "You killed twenty guards last night, how many Japanese warriors came in, and where are they hiding?" And also...... It stands to reason that Miss Misha can go back after taking the herbs when she comes here, so it won't arouse the suspicion of the official, but why did she go back so late? She said that she was caught by gangsters, but with her skills, how could she be the opponent of those gangsters. ”
Fujiwara Zhongichi still didn't answer Taihao's question, but lowered his head and asked, "What happened to Misa?" ”
Taihao said: "She is very good now, and the official hasn't done anything to her." However, she'll have to come here to take her medicine later......"
When Fujiwara Nakaichi heard this, his heart couldn't help but tighten, he knew that Taihao had mastered all their secrets. He gritted his teeth and said to Taihao: "As a samurai, I was caught by you, and I have no face to return to China, please unravel the hole for me, and I will apologize for disembowelment!" ”
Tai Hao smiled: "The question asked by the official, you haven't answered it yet, how can you let you die so easily." ”
Fujiwara Nakaichi: "The twenty soldiers who died last night were all because of you, we could have easily climbed over from the city wall, but you ordered martial law in the whole city, and those soldiers still stopped us from entering the city, of course we had to kill them all, among those twenty soldiers, there were really a few of them with relatively high martial arts, if they hadn't tried their best to stop them, they wouldn't have died." ”
Tai Hao continued to ask, "You have such a hiding place, and you can eat this magical herb to change your appearance, what are you going to do when you go out of the city?" You two warriors, your martial arts are so strong, and the martial arts you practice are so evil, you will disappear with a flash, and it was not just the two of you who entered the city last night, is there still a group of Japanese robbers? ”
Fujiwara Nakaichi: "You are really smart, some soldiers from our country did come in last night, but I won't tell you where they are hiding." Even if you kill me, I won't tell you. ”
At this time, Neng Jin shouted: "Lord Taihao, there is still a secret passage here." ”
Tai Hao walked over and saw a narrow secret passage, and Tai Hao guessed that the end of this secret passage should be the hiding place of the other Japanese robbers. He asked Noh Jin to stay behind with two soldiers to guard Fujiwara Nakaichi, and he climbed into the secret passage with the rest of the soldiers. He found that this secret passage was a slope upward, and climbed along the secret passage, and when he climbed out of the secret passage, he found that it was under an offering table, and climbed out of the offering table, and when he looked up, it was a huge stone statue of the cat god. A group of worshippers were bowing to the statue of the cat god, and Tai Hao muttered, "It turns out that this secret passage is the temple leading to the cat god temple. ”
Taihao then understood that the reason why the people nearby saw a man and a woman who walked into the cottage and did not go out again, it turned out that they went out from this cat temple.
Tai Hao was just about to take those soldiers back from the secret passage, only to see Ji Ting, a judicial officer, come to the Cat Temple, and after seeing Tai Hao, he saluted. Because there were too many people in the temple to worship, Taihao took him to a cat temple under a big tree. Tai Hao asked Ji Ting, "Have all those gangsters been caught?" ”
Ji Ting said: "My lord, I came to you to tell you that something happened...... All those gangsters have been killed! ”
Tai Hao said: "Sure enough, as the official expected, the official knows who did it, there is a secret passage under this cat temple, and the secret passage leads directly to an underground cave, and there is a Japanese warrior hidden in it, and now I have pointed the hole, so that Neng Jin can join the army and watch him." Ji Ting joined the army, this cat temple is now a suspicious place, immediately seal off here, strictly check whether there are any widows here, every monk and pilgrim in this cat temple must be carefully investigated! ”
Ji Ting said: "Yes, the lower officials obey the order!" ”
Then, Taihao tried to climb back through the secret passage under the offering table, but found that he could no longer enter, so he could only detour to the grass house next to him again, and climb from the secret passage in the grass house to the underground cave. It turned out that this secret passage was a one-way street, and when you entered, you could only enter through the grass house, and when you came out, you could only climb out through the secret passage in the temple leading to the cat temple.
After returning to the cave, Taihao asked Fujiwara Zhongichi, "Those gangsters were killed by you, right?" ”
Fujiwara Nakaichi smiled bitterly and said, "I really underestimated you officials of the Eastern Empire, and I found out so quickly. ”
Neng Jin asked, "My lord, what should we do now?" ”
Taihao said: "Tie him up first!" Imprisoned in prison. Tell those three junior brothers, Tie Shen, Tai You, and Teng Xu, and let them take strict care of this Fujiwara Zhongichi. ”
Neng Jin responded: "The lower official obeys the order!" Then he tied Fujiwara Nakaichi tightly with an iron chain and took him out of the secret passage.
Although Taihao asked two officials to guard Meisha in the City Lord's Mansion, he also knew that Meisha would definitely come to this cave today. He had a hunch that the two officials might be in danger, because they alone would not be able to take care of the female warrior of the Japanese Kingdom. He ordered some of his soldiers to hide in the cave and left the cave himself.
When Tai Hao hurriedly returned to the City Lord's Mansion, the housekeeper hurriedly greeted him and said to Tai Hao: "My lord, something happened, that beautiful girl ran away, and killed those two servants!" ”
Taihao's face changed, and an ominous premonition surged in his heart. He hurried to the backyard, and when he saw the bodies of the two officials, his heart became even heavier. He immediately ordered the steward to gather all the servants and search every room in the city lord's mansion. He then hurried to the yamen, called a painter, and according to his description, asked the painter to paint some portraits of Meisa, and gathered all the officials, informed the soldiers at the various posts, and began to search for Meisha throughout the city.
Tae-ho thinks that the purpose of Misa's escape should be to go to the secret passage under the cat temple to take herbs. But when he returned to the secret passage again, he found that Misa had not been there, and it seemed that Misa had really escaped. But he still let the soldiers guard the secret passage, and he himself crawled out of the secret passage once more, and came to the temple of the cat god. I saw that Ji Ting was interrogating every monk and pilgrim in the cat temple.
Tai Hao stepped forward and asked Ji Ting in a low voice, "Ji Ting joined the army, did you find anything suspicious?" ”
Ji Ting said: "My lord, these monks and pilgrims have not found anything suspicious for the time being, but just now a monk said that he did hear a lot of movement in the temple of the cat god last night, and he told me before that the monk who saw the kidnapped girl of Meisha was missing, and the lower official suspected that it was a widow pretending." It seems that this Wenchuan city has indeed been mixed with a group of widows. ”
Tai Hao said: "You continue to investigate, be careful, and once there is a suspicious person, arrest it immediately." Also, you are keeping an eye here, Misa has been confirmed to be a samurai of the Wa Kingdom, and now that she has escaped, if you find Misa coming here, you must also arrest her, but you must pay attention to safety. ”
Ji Ting said: "Yes, Xia Guan understands!" ”
Taehao thought carefully about where Misa would go, and he thought that maybe he was bumped into by Fujiwara Nakaichi when he was taken to prison, so Misa would not return to the secret passage. Then, it is very likely that Misa will go to prison to save Fujiwara Nakaichi.
At that moment, Taihao hurried to the Wenchuan City prison. When I arrived at the Wenchuan City Prison, it was already dark.
The jailer guarding the door of the prison heard that it was Tai Hao, the lord of Wenchuan City, and hurriedly entered to report, and after a while, the warden of the prison Honggao came out to greet him. Tai Hao asked him, "Can Jin join the army and send the prisoners over?" ”
Honggao said: "It's sent, and now it's locked in a dungeon, and Neng Jin joined the army and ordered to increase the defense." ”
Tai Hao said: "Take me to the dungeon, the official still has something to ask the prisoner." ”
Honggao said: "Yes, please come with me...... my lord"
Under the leadership of Honggao, Taihao came to the dungeon in the Wenchuan City Prison, which was built in the deepest part of the Wenchuan City Prison, digging 100 meters deep into the ground, and was the place where heavy prisoners were held. Neng Jin had already gone back, and the top of the dungeon was guarded by Tie Shen, Tai You, and Teng Xu, and Tai Hao greeted the three junior disciples one by one. Tai Hao said to Honggao: "This official can go down alone, and the warden of Honggao doesn't need to come down." ”
Honggao said: "Then adults must be more careful!" ”
Later, Taihao walked down the crumbling staircase, the dungeon's lights faint and eerie, shimmering with a faint phosphorescent light. The air in the dungeon was cold and damp, as if you could touch the cold walls. Murky sewage flowed from the ground, and every step stirred up a foul smell. Part of the area is separated by an old iron fence, and inside the iron fence is Fujiwara Nakaichi who is bound by layers of iron chains.
Taihao said to Fujiwara Nakaichi, "Misa...... We've been caught, and she's being held somewhere else. ”
The reason why Taihao lied to Fujiwara Zhongichi was because he wanted to deceive Fujiwara Zhongichi, and seeing that Fujiwara Zhongichi did not speak, he continued: "Meisa explained everything to this official, and now I am waiting for you to say it, you don't have a hard mouth, you will answer whatever you ask!" ”
