forty-three

The fog will eventually dissipate, and the water will eventually come out.

Nameless reached a cooperation with Cheng Yi/Cheng Ming, the former wanted to rescue the Jinyiwei spies, and the latter wanted to regain the sovereignty of Cheng Jiazhuang, and the common enemy of the former and former was Cheng Feng.

At night, in the Cheng family manor, Nameless wanted to find an opportunity to explore the ancestral temple on the top floor, so he could only return to the escort team with a cheeky face, he thought that Zoli would reprimand him fiercely, and even ruthlessly dismissed him, but Zoli apologized, guilty and admitted his mistake, saying that there were no Tibetans in the stone cracks of the pavilion, just ordinary wild cats.

The other guards became more polite as Zolly became more vigilant, and while patrolling at night, Zolly led Nameless alone to a remote part of the border, down the slope to the river, high enough to seep through the people, but faint in the thick fog.

Zoli was armed with a sword, and Nameless didn't even have a wooden stick, thinking that his overtures were fake, and killing people secretly inside was the goal, so Nameless thought about the escape route while walking, on the contrary, Zoli remembered Cheng Xiao's copper coin, and the positive pull was the reverse murder, and the result was positive.

Zoli stopped, Cheng Feng emerged from the thick fog, and Nameless was surprised: "This night patrol is really not simple. ”

"Nameless, this is the third time we have met, the first time I secretly helped you win the red bead hairpin, the second time I received you to join the manor guards, and the third time I saw you in the fog, do you know why?" Cheng Feng's words reminded Nameless of the Huadu martial arts competition, and it turned out that the screams of the strong men on the stage were Cheng Feng's doing.

"The first time you helped me with kindness, the second time you treated me with kindness, and the third time you saw me, do you want me to return the favor?"

"I guessed that the ghost shadow is a girl surnamed Wei, and I also guessed that you were kind enough to help her get out of danger, it doesn't matter, the important thing is that you found out the private salt? Or are you looking for someone?"

The dungeon is a key point, that is, a place to hide smuggled salt, and a passage for transporting people, the nameless identity is an official of the Military Aircraft Department who is obviously exposed to everyone's sight, and after entering the dungeon, even seeing the process is clear, it is even more impossible to hide, so he lied namelessly: "I am a subordinate of Fan Chen of the Eighth Military Aircraft Department, investigating the case of missing people in Handan City, did I offend you?"

Cheng Feng was abrupt but not surprised by Nameless's words, he looked at Nameless seriously, and before he could speak, Nameless said in a panic: "I am just performing official duties, and the outcome of the case can be discussed, if you offend you, please forgive me, if you want to murder me, please think twice, the Eighth Military Aircraft Department will not stop......"

"Negotiable?" Zoli on the side snickered, the laughter was weird, Cheng Feng hesitated for a moment, and said without hurrying: "Actually, you and I are both doing things for the Military Aircraft Department, you are for Fan Chen of the Eighth Division, and I am for the Fengxian of the Third Division, and the missing people are not ordinary people, but spies of the Northern Han Jinyi Guard." ”

"What a coincidence, it turns out that we are both a force, so I can help ......" Nameless actively showed goodwill, wanting to gain the trust of Cheng Feng and Zoli's escort team, and then rescue the Jinyi Guard's spies, but the more he dedicated, the more loopholes were exposed, Cheng Feng's killing intent had been decided, and he didn't want to listen to more nonsense, so he looked directly at Zo Li.

Nameless felt self-conscious, and was not defenseless at all, Zolley saw the opportunity, and pushed him down the slope with force behind his back, and the whole person quickly rolled down and disappeared into the thick fog.

"You want to kill people first and then push the corpse into the river, at this time the smoke is thick at night, how can you know its life and death?" Cheng Feng was dissatisfied and glared at Zolly, Zoli acted impulsively, and explained: "The copper coin is positive, and the nameless words are preferred, I thought you were going to win over, but I didn't expect you to kill...... What's more, falling from a height without a name will surely die!"

Cheng Feng tried to walk towards the slope, but the slope was too steep to stand on his feet at all, so he said helplessly: "Nameless is very good to die, let him live if he can, after all, he can't hinder our plan." ”

"Why did you kill Nameless?" Zuo Li was puzzled, Cheng Feng looked at him, and explained disdainfully: "The people hidden in the ancestral temple are the innocent people of Yanguo and the spies of the Northern Han Jinyi Guard, if it is the people, we will buy it to Dongyang as slaves to make money, if it is a spy, we will torture and interrogate it, obtain information and then give it to Fengxian, and curry favor with the director of the three divisions to seek some official power." ”

"And then?"

"What we did was not legal, and our deal with Fengxian was even more contrary to the Military Aircraft Department, not to mention that Fengxian, the director of the Third Division, and Fan Chen, the director of the Eighth Division, were not in harmony, and as an official of the Eighth Division of the Military Aircraft, he should threaten us to hand over the Jinyiwei and hand it over to the Fifth Division, Xin Qi, who was responsible for the criminal trial, instead of blindly flattering and deliberately gaining trust......"

"It does make sense, the Northern Han Jinyi Guard spy should be under the control of the military aircraft, but the nameless threatened to assist us, the main thing is reversed, either ridiculous, or there are other plans, or you think about it carefully. Zoli cleared his thoughts, smiled slightly, threw the copper coin in his hand downhill, and continued: "Nameless, you are too young and ignorant, and it is a pity to die!"

At this time, Cheng Feng quietly left, and his figure disappeared into the thick fog.

——

The fog is thick and there are many things at night, which troubles people's dreams.

"Third Young Master, I have something to report. The patrol guard knocked lightly on the door, Cheng Xiaoqian woke up from a sleep, and asked irritably, "What are you anxious about?"

The county decree notified that Wei Bin escaped from prison and absconded from cell C of the second prison. The guards retreated when they had finished their work.

Li Xiao didn't react in the room, and continued to sleep but couldn't be at peace, and his heart was pounding - although Wei Bin was dumb and illiterate, he was strong in martial arts, if he escaped from prison and came to retaliate, wouldn't his life hang by a thread...... So Cheng Xiao hurriedly got up and dressed, and rushed to the county order overnight to discuss countermeasures.

In the study room of the inner courtyard of the Yamen, the county commander Qin Hui flipped through the archives of the Qi family's annihilation, and he couldn't stop feeling guilty, two years ago, his grandson gambled and owed a lot of debts, and in order to repay the debt, he blinded his conscience, took Cheng Xiao's bribes, and jointly slandered the Yamen to arrest Wei Bin, but he didn't expect Cheng Xiao to take the opportunity to poison Wei Bin, let alone his grandson who drowned in the evil fruit.

"Master, Cheng Xiao, the third young man of Chengjiazhuang, will meet you. ”

"Let him into the study. ”

Cheng Xiao pushed open the door and bowed, and said, "If you visit late at night, I hope Lord Qin will forgive me." Qin Hui's face was haggard, his sideburns were gray, if he should retire and return to his hometown in half a year, he closed his eyes and gasped: "Wei Bin escaped from prison, I informed you that I wanted you to be more vigilant, not to let you come over to discuss." ”

"The flag family is me who kills, Wei Bin is you who arrest you, I and you jointly create unjust cases, you and I take the same boat together, if you don't discuss, the boat will capsize and die together. Cheng Xiao's eyes were strange, first threatening, and then prevaricating: "Maybe the gold and silver bribes from two years ago are not enough for Lord Qin, and this time I will buy Wei Bin's life if I give more gold and silver, how about it?"

"Why do you have to take Wei Bin's life?"

"Because Wei Bin is too cute, his parents died since he was a child, and he has no other relatives, he is weak and weak, only the Yamen has some connections, the most important thing is that he is too gullible in justice, and can use justice to deceive him to the scene, create the illusion of his murder, and then bribe the Yamen, cut off his only remaining connections, and trap him in a catastrophe, but I didn't expect that you would not kill him in prison, why would Lord Qin be merciful? Isn't Lord Qin disgusted with him?" Cheng Xiao was triumphant, proud of fabricating the results of the Qi family's extermination case.

Qin Hui's reason for disgusting Wei Bin is that when he was arrested quickly, he was too committed to justice, but absolute justice cannot exist in Yanguo, and he will even be persecuted by traitors, even affecting the yamen and himself, and how much Qin Hui hates Wei Bin, he does not violate his conscience, and viciously wants him to die unjustly, which is why his case was not tried after all. (Qin Hui plans to retire and return to his hometown, and the next county commander to take over can return Wei Bin's innocence.) ）

"Why didn't Lord Qin speak?" Cheng Xiao is good at playing tricks and designing traps, and his relationship with Qin Hui's grandson's gambling mischief and drowning is inseparable, but Qin Hui doesn't know it, and still easily believes him and is at his mercy.

"At the beginning of the Qijia extermination case, Wei Bin was suspicious, and the arresters worked hard to arrest, but now, the case is very different, the human and physical evidence is not complete, and then someone (Cheng Xiao) has been poisoned many times, poisoning Wei Bin, this kind of strange thing makes the arresters obey me on the surface, but they deeply question me inside...... "Although Qin Hui is a county order, but his ability is also limited, the arrest is different from the yamen, the yamen stays in the yamen to do chores, and it is inevitable that they will be greedy for profits, on the contrary, they go out to arrest criminals, often live and die together, and they are more affectionate.

Facing Cheng Xiao's doubts, Qin Hui continued to persuade: "Gold and silver can easily blind people's eyes, but gold and silver are not easy to wear out human nature, you always use gold and silver to do things for your subordinates, aren't you afraid of betrayal by your subordinates?"

"Phew, no one will be against gold and silver, no one will be against power, if I can become the master of the Cheng family's manor, if I can become the trustee of the flower capital, I will have more means to control the place and manpower, and then even the imperial court will be in awe, whoever wants to be killed, whoever can be killed!" Cheng Xiao's face was hideous, revealing his wolf-like ambition, he glared at Qin Hui while laughing, and continued to threaten: "Don't Lord Qin believe it?"

"Letter, I will try my best to arrest Wei Bin for you, and I will assassinate Wei Bin in prison, I don't need your gold and silver, I just want to retire and return to my hometown to live a stable life." Qin Hui understands that the times have changed, and now Cheng Xiao's power is gradually getting bigger, and he can't afford to gain or lose, so he completely violates his conscience and goes with the trend.

Qin Hui's words satisfied Cheng Xiao, he looked at the old man's bad appearance and was a little embarrassed, thinking to himself - I'd rather be responsible for the world than for the world to bear me.

At the end of the discussion, Cheng Xiao went out, and happened to meet the fast catcher Shenzi, and also remembered that Qin Hui mentioned that the fast catchers would not be hunted down, so he took out two stacks of silver tickets from his sleeves to bribe the leopard Shenzi, and said politely: "Leopard God Catch, I have heard of your majestic and heroic name early on, and I am very respectful and admired, and I also heard that Wei Bin, the criminal of the Qi family's extermination case, escaped from prison, and I am especially worried that he will harm the people." ”

As soon as the words fell, Cheng Xiao stuffed the silver ticket into Leopard Shenzi's hand, Leopard Shenzi counted the silver tickets, which was equivalent to his five years of money, showed a satisfied smile, and asked softly: "Cheng Sanshao, what do you want me to do, explain it directly......"

Cheng Xiao saw that Leopard Shenzi was collecting money and profits, and said with joy: "Any false sentiment is unreliable, only gold and silver are the true truth, I don't ask for much, I hope that the leopard god can arrest Wei Bin as soon as possible!"

"No, I can't. ”

Leopard Shenzi's decisive refusal made Cheng Xiao's face black, but Leopard Shenzi's next sentence was a surprise.

"You paid so much money, it was too hard to arrest Wei Bin, I killed Wei Bin for you, it's a hundred!"
