Chapter 22: Yun Jianbai
The war is over, but there are still a lot of chores to deal with.
Han Yu pushed away all his errands and followed Ouyang Cheng back to Jian'an.
If you want to be an official, you have to do something, Han Yu never thought that hugging Ouyang Cheng's thigh would make him a real official in Jian'an City.
Of course, Han Yu didn't have any money himself, but he remembered that there was still a whole box of gold in the well, and he went to run again while Qin Feng hadn't come back yet.
When the army returned to the city surrounded by the people, Han Yu sent Ouyang Cheng back to the city lord's mansion, and Han Yu went to the small courtyard to quietly contact his subordinates.
"Big brother!" Zhang Minggui was sitting by the well when he saw Han Yu and hurriedly jumped up.
Han Yu's eyes swept and saw that there was a matchmaker in the courtyard who was pulling his old lady to praise a girl vigorously, obviously giving him a daughter-in-law.
"Come into the house and talk. Han Yu saw that the matchmaker stopped talking and looked at his wife, and entered the house with an explanation.
Pouring himself a cup of tea, Han Yu took a sip and asked, "How is the situation now?"
"Boss, we only have a dozen brothers under our command now. Zhang Minggui smiled bitterly and told the situation.
After Han Yu instructed that day, Zhang Minggui went to contact his subordinates and asked everyone to follow him to the mountains to avoid for a while.
Some brothers scoffed, some brothers hesitated, and Zhang Minggui was not good at telling the real situation, and in the end, only a dozen brothers were willing to follow.
Zhang Minggui took the group of brothers to purchase some necessary materials for life and hurried out of the city.
As a result, as soon as the front foot left the city, a group of cavalry on the back foot blocked the city gate, and Jian'an City could only enter but not exit.
On the second day, the city began to arrest the strong men, and the thugs on the street were arrested and sent to prison. The underground forces in the city are intertwined, and some want to use their connections to fish people out and run into walls one after another, but this time no one will be given face.
Immediately after that, the City Lord's Mansion issued an order that anyone who had no military service at home should send a young man to join the army, and the City Lord's Mansion outside the city directly excluded sergeants and forcibly recruited soldiers.
Three days later, Jian'an City gathered 50,000 young men and sent them to the battlefield. Hearing the news, Zhang Minggui was frightened and stayed in the mountains for a month before returning to Jian'an in fear.
"Big brother, if you hadn't reported the news in time, our brothers would have died on the battlefield!" Zhang Minggui said gratefully.
"You are my brother, I tell you that you are as you should be. Han Yu took a sip of tea and said lightly.
Han Yu took another sip of tea and said, "Let the brothers not act rashly for the time being, I am now the city patrol envoy, Minggui, you go and help me do something." ”
"Big brother, just command!" Zhang Minggui's chest slapped "thump".
"Come here. A hint of gloom flashed in Han Yu's eyes, and he whispered in Zhang Minggui's ear, Zhang Minggui was stunned, but still nodded.
"Don't look for your own brother, go to Jiang Long, and let him fly away after the matter is completed. If he doesn't want to go." Han Yu paused, Zhang Minggui nodded, and made a "hand up and down" posture.
After a few words of uneasy advice, Han Yu said goodbye and left.
Zhang Minggui also followed him out and went out to arrange the important matters that Han Yu explained.
I found an inn, changed out of my armor and changed into the costume of a Jianghu person, walked leisurely on the street, and came to a restaurant.
After ordering a pot of good wine and asking for a few signature side dishes, Han Yu looked at the small courtyard of Qin Feng's house condescendingly.
An old man and two children were busy in the courtyard, Han Yu took a sip of wine, and waited for about half an hour, when a carriage dragging sacks stopped at the mouth of the alley.
"It's here!" Han Yu perked up and paid close attention to the movement over there. I saw three strong men getting off the car, and two others watching at the intersection.
The three strong men didn't knock on the door, and went directly over the wall and entered the hospital. The old woman saw someone climb over the wall and enter the courtyard, and hurriedly protected the two children.
The strong man in the lead was not verbose, and grabbed the female baby, and when the old woman saw it, she punched the strong man in the stomach.
Han Yu, who was observing in the restaurant, suddenly changed his face drastically!
I saw that the strong man was beaten a few feet away, slammed into the wall, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
The other two strong men were startled, but they were also outlaws in the rivers and lakes, and hurriedly grabbed the two children, wanting to use them to blackmail the old woman.
Just as the strong man's hand was stretched out to the boy, suddenly the boy pulled the strong man's hand, and the strong man staggered, and the boy elbowed the strong man on the head.
On the other side, the girl also turned around dexterously, picked up the broom in her hand and waved it at the strong man, and beat the strong man to the ground with three strokes and five divisions.
Han Yu was shocked by the scene in the courtyard, and a dense cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
He didn't expect that this old and young man had kung fu, at least they were all third-rate masters on the rivers and lakes!
Han Yu was a little lucky, fortunately he didn't let Zhang Minggui out, he thought that he might not be able to subdue them by himself.
The old woman knocked down the three men, and quietly opened the door and looked into the alley.
Seeing that no one was in the alley, he picked up a strong man, and the two children held him down, and the old woman returned to the house with a gloomy face, and took out a wooden box.
Han Yu stood on a high place and watched coldly, only to see the old woman take out a silver needle from the wooden box and insert it into the crack of the strong man's nails.
This kind of outlaw can't help but be tortured, and the strong man quickly confessed.
The old woman got the answer, and slapped her palm on the door of the strong man's head, and suddenly the strong man bled and fell to the ground.
The old woman then tortured the other two in the same way, and after receiving the same answer, she killed them.
The two men who were guarding at the entrance of the alley felt that something was wrong and ran over to investigate.
I saw that they had just climbed over the courtyard wall, and one of them was attacked and killed by an old man and two children.
The other man was scattered and kowtowed to beg for mercy, and the old woman tied his hands and feet, and threw him aside with a smoke.
In the blink of an eye, the old woman explained a few words to the two young children.
I saw the boy giggling and going to the alley to drive the carriage into the alley, and the old woman and girl dragged a few sacks from the cart and threw the four corpses into the sack.
Removed the camouflaged grain from above, placed the corpse in the middle, and then padd it with grain.
The three of them swept the yard again, and drove the carriage out of the alley.
Golden opportunity!
Han Yu watched the three of them drive the carriage out of the alley with cold eyes, and suddenly realized that this was a perfect opportunity!
He threw down the silver and went downstairs, chasing after the carriage where it had disappeared.
watched them out of the city all the time, and Han Yu returned to the small courtyard with a superficial light skill.
After observing silently, Han Yu jumped directly into the courtyard and went down to the well.
Pushing open the wooden door, everything retained the appearance when she left, and a stone in Han Yu's heart fell to the ground, it seems that this old woman will not come to the well on weekdays.
Han Yu turned the mechanism, opened it and closed the box, and he swept away the books on the shelf.
If it weren't for the fact that the mouth of this well was a little narrow, Han Yu would have dismantled this table and moved it back.
First wrapped the books in cloth and threw them out of the well, and then with great difficulty, he drilled out with a box of gold.
After putting all the books into a sack, he went out of the backyard to find an uninhabited hut a few streets away to hide his things, and Han Yu turned back again.
Han Yu was also very interested in the wooden box that the old woman took out from the house just now, and it was estimated that it would take a while to dig the pit for throwing the corpse, so Han Yu was unscrupulous to look for it.
"Something is wrong!"
Habitually standing on a high place and taking a look, I suddenly found that there was a shallow footprint in the yard, and it was definitely left that the footprint had just left.
Han Yu's heart sank, and after thinking for a while, he went to the restaurant again, although the little second was a little strange, he still served a new wine and food.
Soon, Han Yu found that there was a masked man in black rummaging through the house, looking very anxious at his flustered steps.
Han Yugang had just eaten a few bites of wine and food when he found the girl walking into the alley.
Han Yu was overjoyed, presumably the old woman was alert and arranged for the girl to return to the courtyard first, and the girl and the man in black could just collide!
I saw that the girl pushed open the door and happened to bump into the masked man in black. Without saying a word, the girl picked up the broom by the door and attacked the man in black.
Han Yu was happy in her heart, this girl can definitely be regarded as a third-rate master in the rivers and lakes, and she just came to explore the details of this man in black.
The situation was once again beyond Han Yu's expectations, the man in black just made a move, and a long sword pierced the girl's neck.
"First-class master?" Han Yu fell to the ground with his chopsticks in fright.
The situation in the small courtyard became more and more confusing, and Han Yu was secretly glad that he had just had an extra heart.
This man in black can kill a third-rate master in one move, and he, a second-rate man, must not be able to hold a hundred moves in his hands.
killed the girl in a single sword, and the man in black did not collect the corpse, but recklessly rummaged through the boxes and cabinets in the small courtyard.
After searching for about a cup of tea, the man in black noticed the abnormality at the mouth of the well and jumped in.
"The master has already been cleaned up!" Han Yu smiled secretly in his heart.
After a while, the old woman and the child also appeared at the entrance of the alley, Han Yu quietly closed the window, let Xiao Er serve another jar of good wine, and closed the door tightly.
Poked a hole in the window paper with a drink, and Han Yu squinted his eyes and looked at the small courtyard nervously.
I saw the old woman push open the courtyard door and immediately became alert when she saw the girl lying in a pool of blood.
The man in black at the bottom of the well also heard the movement of the ground and jumped out of the well, the boy took the wooden stick next to him and rushed up, and the old woman stood at the gate of the courtyard with a blank face.
An amazing scene happened!
I saw that the man in black stretched out his palm, and a huge fireball appeared out of thin air above his fingertips!
The boy retreated in horror when he saw the fireball, but the fireball rushed over, and the boy instantly turned into a burning man!
The old woman was also startled and hurriedly ran away, and the man in black did not chase after her, but pulled the black cloth off her face.
Han Yu only glanced at it and felt like a heavy blow to his heart!
He knew this person, and he had just come into contact with it a while ago, and it was Yun Jianbai, the eldest son of Mengcheng!
At that time, Han Yu's evaluation of this person was that he didn't understand human feelings, and he had been with each other for a few days.
He also looked down on this idiot boy in his heart, and now that he thought about it, cold sweat broke out on his head, he had already walked on the verge of life and death.
Yun Jianbai and the other boys were burned to ashes, clapped their palms, and a beautiful woman came out of the back room.
Han Yu's eyes shrank again, it was the woman who was poisoned and mysteriously disappeared that day.
I saw that the woman gave a salute to Yun Jianbai, took out the white porcelain bottle from her arms with a smile, and sprinkled some of the powder in it on the two corpses.
