The carriage drove through the long street, and while the passers-by were dodging, some people rushed forward, and a voice shouted: "There is a play!" ”

At the entrance to the market in the east of the city, a dozen or so officials dressed in prison clothes were pushed onto a makeshift wooden platform, and officials from the government read their indictments.

The carriage stopped, and Su Chen lifted the curtain to look at the figures who were kneeling down on the stage: "This time, the eldest brother did not hesitate. ”

"Hmph, these people deserve to die." Thirteen snorted disdainfully on horseback.

"Who are the people behind them, even these officials would rather die." Su Chen looked straight at the top of the wooden platform, the official who had read out the indictment walked down, and the executioner took a sip of wine, sprayed it on the blade, and came behind the first official in the eyes of the people who exchanged their ears.

The officer who oversaw the beheading lost the token.

"Slash!"

The token jingled and rolled on the ground, and the executioner stepped forward and pressed the prisoner's head, the steel knife was raised, and the head was cut off, and the blood arrow spurted to the ground, and the falling head tumbled and fell into the bamboo basket.

"Oops!!" When a timid woman saw the bloody scene, her face turned pale with fright, and she squeezed through the crowd and turned away.

"Let's go, the cavalry of the Ding'an Army and the government should be in a hurry." Su Chen looked at it for a while, estimated the hour, put down the curtain and commanded.

While the carriage slowly drove away, on the wooden platform, the twelfth prisoner was beheaded, and the last man was so frightened that he trembled, looking at the bamboo baskets on the ground piled up with human heads, he raised his face and spoke to the executioner in horror.

"I'll tell you everything......"

……

The wind blew through the clouds, and the sky was scorching.

Outside the east gate of Ding'an, the victims are entrenched, there have been assassinations before, and many patrols can be seen around, among which there are also nursing homes sent by large families in the city.

"Little Marquis, look over there!" In the direction that Thirteen looked, an old man named Zhang Jiao and his two brothers ran around one straw hut after another, the ground herbs were wrapped in rune paper, and the juice was squeezed out to seep into the wound. All around was the filth and weeping of people, and everywhere you could see the victims who were as thin as corpses.

In the end, there are many people who have survived here, and it is much better than the plague he encountered in Jizhou at the beginning. He can't control natural disasters and can't turn food into food, but if he can heal some people, he feels that it is worth it.

Zhang Jiao was reminded by Zhang Liang, turned his head and saw the stopped carriage, smiled and asked Zhang Bao to continue to treat the patient, and then got up and came over this way.

"Great Virtuous Teacher." Thirteen respectfully arched his hands, it was hard to imagine how the old man's body could hold lightning in his hand.

Su Chen heard the voice of Thirteen, got out of the carriage, and in the scorching sun, they exchanged salutes, and Su Chen told him to go after the assassin's accomplice from yesterday.

"Little Hou Ye is hopeful, my three brothers will go together?"

"Well, that person's martial arts are not bad, I wish justice to be injured and recuperate, my guard martial arts are worse after all."

Su Chen's words made Thirteen pout, but he didn't dare to refute it.

"Okay, then I'll go with the little marquis, but there is no thunder today, I'm afraid I can't provide too much help."

After Su Chen heard this, he realized that Zhang Jiao could not attract thunder that night, but to guide thunder, but he could hold lightning with his bare hands, which was also very tight.

After inviting the three of them to get into the car, they continued to the agreed place, where more than 100 cavalrymen of the Ding'an Army were inspecting the equipment under the horses, such as crossbows, steel knives, leather armor, and spears......

Seeing Su Chen who came down, as well as the three brothers Zhang Jiao, these cavalrymen hurriedly put down their weapons and stepped forward to salute.

"Do you want to make some extra money when you come here so early? I don't know that Sima Ke in your camp brought enough people to my yard this morning to move the reward. ”

Hearing the little marquis speak so bluntly, as soldiers, they already ate this the most, and immediately laughed, Su Chen pressed his hand to make them stop, and looked back at the more than thirty catchers who were coming.

"Everyone is here."

Su Chen took the reins from a cavalryman, he turned over, looked at the group of hunters who were late, his gaze swept over them, and then fell on the cavalry.

"The people you face this time may be even more powerful than the people who are neither men nor women last night, the people who dare to attack the Hou Mansion are all ruthless people, and when they meet them later, they will use the most suitable method to deal with them, but don't be a hero alone, otherwise don't blame me if you die."

The crowd laughed again.

Zhang Jiao stood not far away, looked at Su Chen over there, stroked his beard and smiled, and Zhang Liang, who came over on horseback, also laughed: "If you can go back to before the Yellow Turban Incident, I really want to bring him over to be a party commander." ”

"Just you?" Zhang Bao glanced at him.

After a while, the laughter here stopped, Su Chen asked Thirteen to open the bird cage and release the looking bird inside, the body of the bird was a little bigger than the thumb, and out of the cage, as if he smelled a familiar smell, the wings that vibrated rapidly, flew to the northeast, and in the blink of an eye, it was a few feet away.

"Keep up!"

Su Chen whipped his whip, the war horse neighed and kicked his hooves, carrying the figure on horseback, galloping on the official road, more than 100 horsemen followed closely, and more than 30 catchers galloped on foot.

……

The early morning mountain breeze blew from the sneaky figure, the man named Li Piehu walked carefully against the shade of the trees and shrubs, he has a special ability, that is, his eyesight is excellent, and he will not lose people from a distance of more than 100 zhang.

In Ding'an City, he relied on this ability to eat left and right, many people asked him to do things, and recently he was appreciated by the little marquis, yesterday in the middle of the night, just from the drunken flower building to enjoy the girl, who needs a few taels of silver on weekdays, as long as he wants to be able to come and go at will, and he doesn't need to pay.

It's not a very comfortable day.

Now, he has received an errand from the little marquis, as long as it is done, the reward will be more generous, and it is best to be able to enter the Ding'an army, which is a title handed down by the ancestor of Suhou for more than 200 years, and he can also be rewarded every month.

He thought, it has been an hour since he followed the person in his sight into the mountain, fortunately this place is not remote, the little marquis's looking bird should be easy to find, he only needs to keep an eye on the other party.

There is one thing, he doesn't understand, these assassins are full of food, and they came to assassinate Ding'an Hou, a good old man, and he hasn't offended anyone, why did they kill him?

It's really bullying honest people.

When watching the other party digging the ground and burying the charred corpse and human head into the pit, Li Piehu felt that there was someone behind him, and he hurriedly turned his head sideways, and it was the man who was digging just now staring at him.

Li Piehu hurriedly turned his head back, and there was no one on the other side of the pit.

Oops.

He got up and rushed out of the bushes, and the man who was digging in the dirt wore a black scarf but stood out in front of him, staring at him like a falcon.

Then, reach out and grab him!

……

"Keep up!"

One by one, the war horses galloped through the official road and turned into the mountain path, Su Chen rode on horseback, stared closely at the searching bird in front of him, passed through several forests one after another, and finally stopped above a mountain col.

Thirteen whistled and opened the cage to let the bird fly back into its cage.

"Little Hou Ye, it should be around here."

The corpse is here, so the person must have come, Su Chen pondered for a moment, and raised his hand: "Search around, look for inch by inch, and see where the soil has been renovated." ”

The cavalry guarded the surrounding roads, and the group of hunters scattered with their experience in handling cases, sweeping along the mountains and forests.

After a while, someone shouted: "Little Hou Ye! ”

Su Chen and Zhang Jiao glanced at each other, Le Ma rushed up the gentle slope, followed the direction of the sound, and when they reached the place, a catcher pointed to a big tree not far away.

The branches drooped and swayed slightly, and the ends of the treetops were tied with human hair, and a human head was dripping with blood underneath.

Li Crawler......

Su Chen recognized this head, and his heart sank, it seemed that he had been smooth sailing these times, and he thought of others too simply.

"Take the head off, find the body, and bring it back for a thick burial!"
