At noon that day, Wang Li and Liu Yan followed Guan Shunjian's troops to Yucheng. Due to the large number of soldiers accompanying him, the journey was not very fast, and the speed of going to Yiyang that day could not be compared.

It wasn't until the evening of the next day that Wang Li and the others finally arrived in Yucheng. Bidding farewell to Liu Yan and the others, Wang Li hurried home. There is no curfew in Da Yao, and you can still see bustling people on the street, but when you get to the outside of the house, the gate facing the street is extremely deserted.

Although he was not at home, there were more than a dozen people in total, so why did there not move at all? Wang Xuan was puzzled, and when he stepped forward to open the street door, he saw that the house was dark, and the lights in each room were not turned on, as if no one was living in it.

"Gao Fu?"

Wang Li called, but didn't agree, and shouted Sun Tong and Chu Yi a few times, and the kitchen door on the right hand side "squeaked", and saw Sun Tong's face looking out through the crack in the door.

Seeing that it was Wang Li who came back, Sun Tong hurriedly opened the door and said to the people inside: "It's the master who is back, it's okay!"

"What's the matter? Why isn't there a light in the house?" Wang Li looked confused, walked into the kitchen, lit a few candles, put them on the stove, and saw Gao Fu and the others hiding in the kitchen, all of them were full of worry and fear, "Why are they all in this kitchen?"

"Master, Chu Yi was arrested. ”

"What?"

Wang Li was taken aback and asked again.

The Li family of Gaofu sighed, lowered his eyes, and said: "A few days ago, that is, two days ago, Chu Yi accompanied me to buy vegetables, and I didn't go far when I just went out, and the person who came to make trouble when the old man was at home stopped us again, and the person saw the girl Chu Yi and said something,' You occupy a house for me, and I rob you of a pretty girl', so I asked someone to kidnap the girl in Chuyi, there are many of them, I can't stop it, so I have to come back and find a way, but when I inquired, I knew that he was the second son of the Xu family, the master was not there, where did we dare to ask for someone, and I was worried that he would come to play tricks again, so I had to close the door, seeing that the food was almost eaten, fortunately, the master came back, otherwise, we were finished. ”

Wang Li was furious when he heard this, and Gao Fu said again: "When the old man entered the door just now, we thought that the man had got the key, so we had to hide in the kitchen. ”

"Xu Guo, you deceive people too much!" I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen in a few days, Wang Li was so angry that he slapped the stove fiercely, which frightened Gao Fu and the others, "Sun Tong, you prepare the carriage and go to the Yamen, go now!"

......

Guan Shunjian came to Yucheng this time to investigate the crime by order to raid the house, not to say that it is a Qincha, but it is better than a Qincha. He transferred the strength of two battalions of the Qingzhou Xiang Army and the Ma Infantry Army, and planned to be stationed outside the Inner City Buling Governor's Mansion, and went to announce the conviction and raid the house the next day.

Bidding farewell to Wang Li and Liu Yan, he had just transferred troops to cross the gate of the mansion and went to the inner city, when he saw someone leaning out of a carriage not far away and shouting, "Shun Jian! General Guan stayed, it's me, Wang Li, I have something urgent to talk about!"

"Brother Wang, aren't you going back?" Looking at Wang Li, Guan Shunjian dismounted and greeted him, and said suspiciously.

"It's a long story, it's urgent, and I'll be looking for you as soon as I get home. Wang Li hurriedly got out of the carriage, simplified the matter, explained the reasons for his situation, and said: "Didn't you follow the order to raid the house? Shun Jian, you must help me, it's a matter of human life, I can't wait!"

Wang Li not only saved Cao Hui's life before, but also helped him save Emperor Yao in the palace, and helped each other twice, Guan Shunjian was in mind, and what Wang Li said was not unreasonable, if the Xu family learned the news on the second day and fled, it would be troublesome.

"Okay, I'll make arrangements, and you lead the way in front. ”

"Good!"

Seeing that Shun Jian promised so refreshed, Wang Li was overjoyed and asked Sun Tong to lead the way in front, Guan Shunjian transferred the military order, and took advantage of the night to rush to Xu's mansion.

Fortunately, it was night, there were not many pedestrians on the street, and the march in the city was quite fast, and when nearly a thousand troops surrounded Xu's mansion, Wang Li finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The doorman who was keeping vigil in front of the door noticed the movement, and opened some cracks in the door to check the situation, but he was frightened by the battle in front of him, and collapsed on the ground, and hurriedly ran inside, reporting the news with a trembling voice.

Guan Shunjian sneered, kicked open the door, and let the soldiers light the torches and rush in. Wang was anxious, worried that the soldiers would hurt the innocent, so he ordered to search the woman named "Chu Yi" together, and reward the first to find it.

"You, who are you? Do you know what kind ......of place this is?" Xu Lin was disheveled, his hair was scattered, and he was escorted by the soldiers to Wang Li and Guan Shunjian, unable to stop the anger and fear in his heart, and said angrily, "I am the Great Medicine Master of Yulutang!

"Xu Lin takes the order!"

Guan Shunjian interrupted Xu Lin and unfolded the holy decree. Xu Lin, who was escorted to the ground, was at a loss like a duck choked by the neck.

"I Shaoying, the name of Guanghan Xuantian......"

As Guan Shunjian read Xu Lin's crimes word by word, Xu Lin's face turned gray, and when it was over, he announced that the Xu family "disregarded the responsibility of doing good for the sake of the pharmacist, and added the duty of loyalty to the ministers, and the crime of smuggling medicinal materials and jade, and conspiring against foreign enemies, and razing the three clans." ”

Xu Lin's face was as miserable as white paper, he collapsed on the ground, he trembled and stood up, and said: "General, I, wronged, it is indeed me who let the real person enter the domain, but, but they only told me that they came to get smoke Luo Yu, how could they assassinate Your Majesty, even if you give me ten guts, you don't dare to rebel General!"

He hugged Guan Shunjian's feet and said in a trembling voice: "I confess, I confess, beg the general to spare my son, I beg you, I beg you, I beg you......"

Guan Shunjian kicked Xu Lin away, ignoring his cries, and before long, Xu Kuang was found by the soldiers, tied up and escorted to Wang Li. When Wang Li saw him, he pulled Xu Jing's shirt and said hatefully: "Where did you take Chu Yi?"

Xu Guo was almost frightened by these soldiers who raided his house, and when he saw that it was Wang Li, he thought that he had come to take revenge, so he immediately screamed: "Wang Li! You trespassed into the residence of the cabinet ministers and used soldiers without permission, do you know that it is a big crime! Aren't you afraid of death?"

Wang Li sneered and kicked Xu Guo to the ground, "If you don't say it, I'll find it myself." ”

Xu Guo turned his head to see Xu Lin lying on the ground, and when he realized the seriousness of the matter, he moved to Xu Lin's side and asked, "Dad, what's wrong with you? Why did they arrest me!"

Xu Lin looked depressed, looked at Xu Jing, and said, "The court convicted me of rebellion and wanted to kill us." ”

"Rebellion?" Xu Jingwei cried out, "Is there a mistake, Dad?

Xu Lin looked at the floor tiles blankly and said nothing.

Xu Jing was stunned, although he was dumbfounded, he was not stupid, knowing that Xu Lin had confessed, his hands and feet were tied, so he twisted his body and knelt down in front of Wang Li, "Wang Gongzi, Wang Gongzi, it's my fault, I shouldn't have kidnapped and molested your maid, I admit my mistake, I want you to apologize." I didn't rebel, can Wang Gongzi let me go, I'm still young, I don't want to die!"

Xu Guo cried so much that his snot and tears were mixed together, and his whole face was blurred, "It's all my father's doing, let's kill him, Wang Gongzi, let me go, Wang Gongzi, please!"

Wang Li was disgusted when he heard this, this person could say such words, it was really worse than a pig and a dog, and when he looked at Xu Lin who heard Xu Jing's words, his face was like a dead and silent Xu Lin, Wang Li sighed secretly, this is death deserved.

"Report to General Guan that Xu Sheng, the son of the Xu family, is not in the house, and the girl in Chuyi that Wang Gechen is looking for has not been found. "After a long time, some soldiers reported the search.

"What?" Wang Li asked, "Have you searched carefully?"

"All the houses and houses have been searched, but they have not been found!"

Wang Li was anxiously pacing back and forth in the courtyard, and Guan Shunjian asked, "Then find out where Xu Sheng went?"

"I heard the female relatives say that it is in Qingyun Tower. ”

"Qingyun Building?"

Wang was taken aback, Chu Yi should not be taken to Qingyun Tower by Xu Sheng, right? He hurriedly said to Guan Shunjian: "Shun Jian, you search the rest of the things here, I will take a small team of people to arrest Xu Sheng, just to find Chu Yi." ”

Guan Shunjian headed his forehead and dialed more than 50 people to let them obey Wang Li's dispatch. Wang Li got into the carriage, let Sun Tong lead the way, and the group hurried to Qingyun Tower.
