Thirteen and Boss Ye both chuckled in their hearts at the same time.

The reason for Thirteen here is relatively simple, the chestnuts are still in the carriage outside, and at this time, a group of soldiers suddenly surrounded, do you think they will eat and drink well and invite someone to sit down, or hang them up and beat them first?

Well, even if it can't be hanged, it's a very suitable hostage, but why is this place surrounded by soldiers?

Boss Ye's boss Jiu Ye is also a prince and nobleman, and the army is besieging her subordinates, isn't it a big flood that has washed the Dragon King Temple, and her own people have come to fight her own people?

In any case, Thirteen still wanted to make sure of Chestnut's safety first, said hello to Boss Ye, and left in a hurry outside.

If you can settle the account, Boss Ye doesn't have to worry, Thirteen doesn't know that now being besieged by the army means that the ninth master has given up on them.

In order to balance the rivers and lakes, the imperial court ordered that no princes, nobles, or courtiers, regardless of their titles or official positions, should privately raise armed personnel in any form, and those who violated the order were directly executed regardless of their origins.

Of course, there are countermeasures and policies, and there is no private force in hand these days, no matter where you go, you can't mix it up, and many shady things also need these people to do, so you still have to raise, but you can't let others know, you can only secretly engage in these small actions.

What if someone finds out?

I'm not, I'm not, don't talk nonsense.

Refuse the triple.

Man Tingfang has been operating in Yangzhou for so many years, and there has never been any mistakes, and on the surface, he has always cooperated with the outside world as an intelligence agency, and even occasionally cooperated with officials, after all, this is a secret on the table, and everyone tacitly does not know.

So, who was betrayed this time?

Zhang Yanming: Super boring?

The possibility is not great, Man Tingfang has the most cooperation with bad people, and the demand for bad people for Man Tingfang is also very large, and they often need to provide some clues about dignitaries and nobles, which is an area that bad people can't touch, so they can only ask for help.

Although there are no absolutes, Boss Ye can conclude that Zhang Yanming will not smash the bridge of friendship between the two parties for the time being, and if he really wants to do it, he will send news in advance, so that Man Tingfang can be prepared.

As for the super boring......

Although this person is super boring and has a strange temper, he will not do such a thing, even if Boss Ye and he haven't seen him for many years, but they are also old friends, and it is not good to say in private, and it can barely be regarded as a childhood sweetheart......

Could it be...... Ling Jia......

No!

It shouldn't be her......

......

"General Yang, she's just a little girl, don't treat her like this, right?" Ling Yunwu frowned, a little displeased, her eyes were on the chestnuts that Thirteen was worried about.

Five-flowered chestnuts tied to the torture rack.

Yang Lie was dressed in a military uniform, and the bookish anger on weekdays suddenly turned into a murderous aura, coiled between his eyebrows, and he just glanced coldly at Ling Yunwu's complaints, and said lightly: "I still remember that when Miss Ling came to find Yang and told him that there were lawless people entrenched in Yangzhou City, she was very righteous and swore to annihilate him in one fell swoop, why did her heart suddenly become soft at this time?"

As Thirteen expected, those soldiers found that there was a sleeping little girl in the carriage and immediately brought it to Yang Lie to ask what to do.

The so-called encirclement and suppression, I am not afraid that the people inside will come out to fight, I am afraid that they will have some way to leave quietly, but now that there is a hostage of chestnuts, it is tantamount to an unusually delicious fishing bait, even if you see the sharp hook under the bait, there will still be people biting the hook.

Wen Jin, who had been silent, suddenly whispered to Ling Yunwu, who was sitting on the horse: "Fifth Miss, she is not a person who is full of Tingfang. ”

"Why didn't you say it earlier...... Hearing this news, Ling Yunwu's eyes lit up, and after complaining casually, he changed to a consultative tone and said to Yang Lie, "General Yang, this person should just be passing by, not a thief from Man Tingfang, you use her as bait, I'm afraid it won't work, it's better to put the person down and discuss how to deal with the people inside." ”

"Miss Ling doesn't need to say much, and wait a while, this female doll will play her due role. Yang Lie waved his hand and stopped Ling Yunwu's plea.

Women's empathy is much more obvious than that of men, and they can't see weak people suffering, Ling Yunwu's actions made Yang Lie more confident, and hanging chestnuts over there can definitely force the people in the house not to choose to run away at the first time, but to stay and discuss how to save people.

Ling Yunwu still wanted to fight for it, Wen Jin opened his mouth to persuade: "Miss, General Yang is right, this is a good way, not to mention that General Yang did not execute the girl, since she is a passerby, wait for the result of this matter and then let her live, presumably General Yang will not object, for now, it is still mainly Man Tingfang's people." ”

Once some things have a numerical advantage, it is useless to insist on their own opinions, Ling Yunwu didn't expect Wen Jin to suddenly defect, but now they are all outsiders, and she is not easy to scold, doing so will hurt the hearts of her subordinates, and it also seems that she has no face, so she can only keep her mouth shut.

Although Wen Jin scolded her own young lady very simply, she maintained her usual lifeless appearance, as if she was indifferent to everything that happened in front of her.

At this moment, only she knows what Wen Jin is thinking in her heart......

If the encirclement and suppression of Man Tingfang is successful, she will lose many friends, but ...... If the encirclement and suppression are not successful, she will not only lose many friends, but it will also be difficult for her to get ahead in a short period of time.

On this trip to Yangzhou, Wen Jin thought that he could use the Meng family as a springboard to enter the upper echelons of the Ling family's escort team, but Tiangong loved to joke, and the prisoner he wanted to arrest this time was an old acquaintance.

Originally, Wen Jin had already made up her mind to arrest Mingyou, but all kinds of circumstances appeared randomly, and the plan really couldn't keep up with the changes, so she pretended to be a killer and wanted to kill Meng Yuyan and delay the matter any longer, but she was stopped by Thirteen, so that in the end, she couldn't show up on the Meng family's side.

Wen Jin really has no choice, if he goes back like this, he can only catch some snitches and flower thieves as before, and there will be no more such small characters.

Since it has reached the point of unscrupulous means, then simply be more ruthless!

Wen Jin told Ling Yunwu everything she knew about Man Tingfang!

In normal times, according to the previous rules, the matter of the princes and courtiers privately cultivating the forces of the rivers and lakes was divided into two groups of people - the princes and courtiers would solve it secretly, and no one else had to take care of it, and the Ling family's scope of responsibility was to eliminate the forces cultivated privately.

With the identity of the Ninth Master and the strength of Man Tingfang in Yangzhou, if he can exterminate this force, it will undoubtedly be a great achievement! However, there have been quite a lot of thieves recently, and almost all the powerful people in the Ling family's stronghold in Yangzhou have been dispatched, leaving only some second- and third-rate characters to watch the house.

In desperation, Ling Yunwu could only find Yang Lie for help.

"There's someone on the wall, shoot arrows!"

A sharp-eyed soldier found Thirteen, who was squatting on the wall and peeking, and he didn't even think about giving the order directly.

Woohoo!
