Chapter 21: The Tip of the Iceberg

The ancient Yangtze River, thousands of years of wind flow, against the current to seek verification, homeopathic for the number of days!

Sailing against the current is naturally not as good as going down the river, and after two days and two nights, Song Yujing and Shen Ye finally arrived in Hankou. After a long journey, the little maid Cuicui hurriedly called a carriage and carried the three of them into the city.

The carriage swayed, and the little maid sat for a while and was sleepy and dozed off, but Song Yujing was still very energetic and chatting with Shen Ye.

"This, Brother Shen, are you really not going?"

"Thank you Miss Song for your kindness! But Shen Ye came over this time with a mission. After Shen escorted the girl into the city, he had to go to the Wudingwei command post in time, and he couldn't be delayed. ”

"That's the only way to go. Originally, Brother Shen came here to Wuding Yujing and naturally did his duty as a landlord, but if Brother Shen was busy with official business, Yujing would not force it much, Yujing was not out of luck, but he only asked the eldest brother to promise one thing!"

"Miss Song, please speak!"

"If the eldest brother is busy with official duties after three days, please be sure to go to Yujing's house to sit down, if my father knows that it is Brother Shen who came to Wuding but can't drink alcohol, he will definitely blame Yujing for not being sensible. Brother Shen ......"

"To tell you the truth, Shen doesn't know when this will be the real official business, so he really doesn't dare to agree to Miss Yu!

"How can this work? Doesn't the eldest brother look down on Yujing and my Song family?" Song Yujing changed her normal behavior and stared at Shen Ye with her eyes.

It's just that this time the stakes are very high, and Shen Ye can't be careless. If he promised the girl and couldn't go to the appointment in time, wouldn't Shen lose his trust in the girl. Shen Ye also understands Song Yujing's persistent character, but after all, although the case is suspicious, he really doesn't say that he can go to the appointment on time.

“... Brother Shen just can't look down on Yujing. Yu Jing and Brother Shen just met in Pingshui, the eldest brother is handsome, martial arts, and has rescued countless people who have suffered, Yu Jing is just the most ordinary of the countless people rescued by his subordinates for the eldest brother, otherwise how could he not even let Yu Jing invite Brother Shen to a meal... Song Yujing lowered her head, her words were bitter, her eyes were full of autumn water, she wanted to cry, and sighed faintly.

As soon as he said this, Shen Ye didn't know how to answer, and could only sigh that this woman was indeed quick-witted.

"This, that, Shen, first agree to Miss Song's invitation. But Shen didn't dare to guarantee that he would be able to go to the appointment in time, and if he couldn't go in time, he asked the girl to forgive Shen for the crime of dishonesty. Shen Ye had no choice but to show his hole cards, and promised first, as for whether to go or not, it would depend on the situation.

"Hmph! Brother Shen's implication is that he won't go! Anyway, for Brother Shen, Yujing is just an insignificant woman, so you can just find an excuse to shirk it when the time comes. The rain is quiet, and it's just a thin-life duckweed. After speaking, Song Yujing raised her sleeves to cover her face, and stopped talking, as if she didn't want people to see tears.

"..............." Shen Ye's face was full of black lines, and he was suddenly seen through his thoughts, and after thinking for a long time, he really didn't know how to answer.

"Well, okay, Miss Song. Shen agreed. Shen Ye compromised, but he didn't know that this was far from over.

"Eh, that's it, Engong is so embarrassed, it's Yujing who is abrupt, it's Yujing who doesn't know the severity of Engong's big deal........." Song Yujing suddenly changed her words again.

"No, Shen will definitely go to the appointment. At that time, I will disturb the girl" Shen Ye directly interrupted Song Yujing's words, and made a decision right away, go!

Shen Ye had only one thought in his heart, this Song girl was different from his cute sister, she couldn't just buy a bag of desserts or two bags of shortbread.

The camel bell jingled, the carriage continued to move forward, and Shen Ye got out of the car near the city gate and separated from Song Yujing. On the carriage that went away, Song Yujing smiled brighter than the sun in the clear sky, and did not forget to poke her head out, waved at him from a distance, and carefully instructed, "Brother Shen, remember to come over for an appointment in three days! Again, my house is in ............."

In this situation, he had to sigh: The deadliest weapon of women is their softness. And it just so happens that this weapon is aimed at men, and men are the masters of this world, which is really born with one thing and one thing!

Entering the city, Shen Ye hurried to the Wudingwei command post. During the period, there was no interruption in rest, and his personality dictated that Shen Ye was responsible for doing things, handed in the official documents, and arranged a place to live, so he hurriedly went to Jinyiwei Prison to withdraw Wu Daode, who was still being imprisoned.

Wu Daode in the prison was already very haggard, his hair was scattered, his whole body was black, and he was lying on the bed and unwilling to move. But when he saw this enemy who had locked himself in here with his own hands, he still raised his spirit and scolded a few words.

"Isn't this the dog leg of the golden scale? Why, you still don't want to let go of Dao Ye?

Hearing him cursing himself, Shen Ye was not angry, and motioned to the people next to him to open the door, motioned for the jailers to go out, and walked in alone.

"Daochang Wu, so chic! Shen said goodbye half a month ago, and he missed it very much, and he came to Wuding today to do business, and he came to visit you. Shen Ye smiled, but that handsome face and this smile of unknown meaning made it look eerie in this bleak prison.

"Oh, let's talk about it! I've seen a lot of old ways like you............ Wait, what are you going to do?" Halfway through his words, Wu Daode's face was full of horror, because a light flashed in his eyes, it was the cold glow of the long knife after it was unsheathed!

Shen Ye drew his knife and rushed straight away, and the moment Wu Dao saw the light of the knife in the narrow room, Shen Ye had already rushed in front of him, and then nailed him to the wall with a flying knee.

Severe pain in his chest, how could Wu Daode's already weak body withstand this defeat, and his mouth was sweet. A mouthful of donated blood spurted out, and the cold temperature of the long knife had spread from the skin on Wu Daode's neck all over his body, and this sudden crisis and fear made his brain completely clear at once.

You can't kill me, I don't sin unto death, the order to behead is not yet there, you can't... You're showing favoritism..."Wu Daode endured the severe pain and struggled to yell, scratching and kicking wildly on his hands and feet.

"Oh?!Why can't I kill you?!You should tell me about it!" The strength on his feet increased a little, and Shen Ye sneered and looked at Wu Daode, who was struggling in vain.

"If you attack me, then you won't be able to keep your own black gauze hat.........?"

"That's all there is to it, then, you can go on the road!" Wu Dao was interrupted by Shen Ye ruthlessly in the middle of his words, and then the long knife in Shen Ye's hand had already penetrated into his skin.

"Spare your life! spare your life!!The official has spared his life!!" The skin of his neck has been cut open, and the blood can't stop being rescued, Wu Dao struggled frantically, and his eyes were wide open.

Shen Ye was not in a hurry, let the long knife remain in a state, with a smile on his face, and slowly stretched his head and whispered in his ear like a demon, "Okay, then let your death be clear! Do you know, why can I find you on the mountain?! Because this is the errand that the lord gave me, he said, what you did, he was very dissatisfied, it was too slow! He was very angry! So he ordered me to understand you." Remember, don't be a fool in front of Hades when you go down!"

The speed of speech is unhurried, but the blade is slowly approaching......

"No, no, no, how can it be, you are talking nonsense, he obviously didn't say the time, he obviously said it, just catch someone and hand it over to him, you talk nonsense!!" Under the angry crisis, Wu Dao roared desperately. When he finished yelling, he found that the man had left him and was standing in front of him with a long knife in his hand. A smile on the face, that's a real smile.

"Oh?!Is that so? This is not what you said in your confession!?"

The smile went straight to the brain of the bone marrow, Wu Dao was stunned for a moment, screamed strangely, and then turned into a claw with five fingers like crazy and wanted to pounce over and tear that face. With chains on his feet and blood in his mouth, he was mad. But he didn't touch the corner of his clothes, and his chest hurt, and he was directly kicked against the wall, and then fell to his tattered bed.

"You, dog thief!!You despicable villain, shameless dog thief!!" Wu Daode reacted that he had been tricked, and suddenly became angry, and spat out a mouthful of blood, dyeing the old yellowed cotton red. However, this blood in the mouth no longer comes from the pain in the chest, but from the anger in the heart.

"Despicable?!Being a famous ghost Taoist priest, immoral, and a liar Wu said to be despicable?Then, I am also very honored!! hahahaha" Shen Ye's gloomy laughter echoed in the prison, as for Wu Daode, he lay on the bed and did not move, and there was no look in his eyes.

"Then Shen, let's just say it! I can let you die happily now, or I can let you die slowly and painfully, there is no difference between you saying it and not saying it, because for me, finding that person is just a matter of time. Have you figured it out?"

"Wu, when you see people talking about people, you tell ghosts, and you have deceived people for a lifetime? Heh, but it turns out that you don't know everything. Then what's the benefit of what I said?" Wu Daode coughed twice, his heart was extremely desolate, and he raised his head to look at this Shen Ye carefully.

"It's very simple, I won't kill you, lest you die! I want the black gauze hat on my head too!"

"How can you guarantee that I won't die?"

"Didn't you say it yourself? You are not guilty to death! Moreover, I took the order of the Commander of the Wen Command to investigate this case thoroughly!"

Wu Daode sighed, and his heart was full of discouragement. Knowing that he had no choice, he spoke slowly.

.................. A quarter of an hour later

"That man, wearing a mask and a black robe, I don't see what he looks like?"

“............... You said that he gave you six hundred taels of silver for you to kidnap the eldest lady of the Song family, but you outsourced it and promised Yang Ma and the others two hundred taels of silver for them to kidnap people, and when you also delivered the goods, you played a trick on others, and only gave one hundred taels of silver!!" Shen Ye was speechless for this person after listening to the real thing.

"Dog liar!!"

Hearing Shen Ye scold himself so suddenly, Wu Daode was also stunned, and randomly opened his mouth to fight back.

"Aren't you the same!

"Alright, that's it for today. Don't worry, Shen won't break his promise to you, you just wait in prison, if you have anything you want to say, then just call someone to find me, remember not to wait. With that, Shen Ye didn't linger any longer, got up and left the prison.

After getting out of prison, the confusion in Shen Ye's heart was not eliminated, but even more. The answer Wu Daode gave was not what he wanted. The mysterious person entrusted him to tie up people, and the girl Song who asked for it by name couldn't hurt people.

"No, no, he doesn't know about King Cheng. Then it is possible that he has nothing to do with it......... Forget it, let's eat first!" Shen Ye pondered all the way and slowly walked to the street, unconsciously it was already dusk. Seeing a small shop on the street that had just been lit up, Shen Ye didn't think much about it and walked straight in.

"Uncle, a bowl of hot dry noodles!
