"Someone is coming!"
"Rebel!"
Blood spurted out from his thigh, flowed through the green bricks and into the cracks in the stone.
Xin Twelve raised his head, but could not stop the severe pain from his scalp.
He shouted as hard as he could, hoping to call Marquis Wu who was patrolling the night.
However, Xue Bai had already taken out a dagger and stabbed it into his wound, twisting it roughly.
"Tell me, who have you told?"
"Someone! Someone!"
"If you don't tell me, you will die miserably." Xue Bai said, "But if you tell me, there is still room for discussion. You are just a slave whose body contract is held by Ji Wen. Why should I be in trouble with you?"
"Spare me...spare me...I'm just a servant..."
"I understand. We are all working under the Right Prime Minister. There is no need to cause such a mess." Xue Bai pulled out the dagger and said in a gentler tone: "Think about it carefully. It doesn't matter. It can be remedied."
"Yep."
After the severe pain, when he suddenly heard such a gentle tone, Xin Twelve grasped at the straw that saved his life and was so moved that he wanted to cry.
"Xue Langjun, you are a good person, please spare me... spare me."
"Okay, but you have to make things right. Tell me. Anyone knows. I have to talk to them."
"Dalang...Dalang and I went to Dongshi together..."
"Where is Kitaro?"
"I don't know." Xin Twelve said: "Maybe he is still in Kangjia Restaurant, or he went to Xuanyangfang Villa? Or maybe he is in Pingkangfang Nanqu? I really don't know."
"I went to stay at Xuanyangfang, but I didn't see him."
Xin Twelve was taken aback and said quickly: "I, I... we captured Aunt Du and took her to Xuanyangfang Villa, but we didn't hurt her... we didn't hurt her."
Xue Bai said: "You still dare to hide it, give it a try."
"Don't dare, never dare."
"Who else knows?"
"Da Lang's guard, Liu San, if he asked... He also brought six people to follow Da Lang to protect him... A rickshaw driver from the Du family followed us, but Liu San knocked him down. He didn't know whether he was dead or not, and left him in Dongshi Alley. inside……"
"anything else?"
"And, and more... I told the concierge of the Prime Minister's Mansion that you are an official slave." Xin Twelve pleaded sincerely: "That's all, that's all. Spare me, you can spare me." Right? Please."
Xue Bai raised his head and looked at the eaves above.
I was thinking about the maid named Liu Shang.
She is very pretty and is the daughter of a servant in Du's house. She has not lived a good life since she followed Du to the Liu family. Sometimes she didn't even have enough to eat, so she was very worried.
Liu Zhai was burned down that night, and the five of them crowded into the monastery and spent the night. The next day, she wiped his face with a handkerchief, and then they had breakfast together. She helped the shopkeeper fold the bowls...
The blood flowed to Xue Bai's hand, warm and sticky.
The dagger pierced Xin Twelve's neck, and Xue Bai could feel a pulse, and then it became weaker and weaker.
He covered Xin Twelve's eyes, pulled out the dagger, and stabbed his chest twice more. Then he stood up, there was a swallowing movement in his throat, he paused for a moment, and walked towards Jiang Hai.
"Have you counted? How many?"
"Counting the ones you killed, there are seven in total, and there is one more here."
Jiang Hai agreed, casually mentioned a trembling man, and said: "He said he has nothing to do with the Right Prime Minister and is a slave trader."
"killed."
"puff."
The body was dumped on the ground.
"Eight."
"Walk."
Xue Bai never looked at Nu Yalang from beginning to end.
He was with a group of beasts, some of whom had buried him alive. They were like killing machines, silent, cold, and ruthless.
He didn't want them to feel that he was here for Nu Yalang, and that he was here to protect Mr. Pei's identity.
As for whether Nu Yalang may know his life experience, do you want to ask?
Xue Bai didn't care at all.
If that identity was better than that of Xue Ling's son, he might have to consider making a choice, but no.
He doesn't even count as a human being, so why rush to find someone to be his son?
"Alarmed Jin Wuwei!"
Even though these Longyou soldiers moved swiftly and killed eight people in an instant, and none of them escaped, there were still Jinwu Guards coming here.
Jiang Hai said: "Kill or leave?"
"Do not impulse."
Xue Bai found the curfew document from Xin Twelve's arms, took a photo of it in front of a lantern, and saw the seal "Jingzhao Mansion Law Cao" on it, got up and left.
"Go around to the north. When you leave the workshop, remember that we are from Jiwen."
"Um."
"Ji Wen's son also knows Mr. Pei's identity."
"Just kill him." Tuoba Mao said.
Jiang Hai asked: "Where is my brother?"
"Don't worry, do it one by one."
~~
Changlefang.
Yang Shenjin's villa is quite large, covering an area of more than a hundred steps long and wide.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the house was brightly lit with fire, and rows of soldiers were running around holding torches and searching everywhere.
Amidst the clanging of armor, Guo Qianli strode back to the front yard, cursed his mother, and sat down in the hall with some difficulty.
"You two little ones, come here and help me take off my armor."
"Here."
He called two soldiers to help, took off the heavy armor, and put on an old fur cloak. Guo Qianli was much looser. He leaned back and sighed: "I'm old, I'm old. I used to be in Long." I haven't removed my armor for five days and five nights, and there's nothing wrong with me at all. What do you think I've been able to do now?"
"The general is not old, the general is still in his prime."
"Alas." Guo Qianli sighed: "Do you think those brats from You Xiaowei think this is the East Market? They say they are looking for evidence, but they just put the items into sacks. Damn it!"
"General, Mr. Xue Langjun is here."
"Quick." Guo Qianli waved quickly, "Please come in quickly."
After a while, Xue Bai walked into the hall quickly, with a sullen face, looking very unhappy.
"Hey, how can you be so mature at such a young age? Who could make you unhappy..."
"General Guo, how do you search Yang Zhongcheng's villa?!" Xue Baihe asked.
"Blame me?" Guo Qianli said dissatisfied: "I was also acting under orders. I didn't see those dead soldiers from the East Palace evacuating at that time. Jiwen asked for the order from the right minister to break down the door and search. They took dozens of people. Damn, one piece. I didn’t see the weapon, but did you see blood on my knife?”
"I'm asking, why are you searching Yang Zhongcheng's villa?!"
"Um?"
Guo Qianli was stunned and asked, "What else?"
Xue Bai did not speak immediately, and seemed to be stunned for a moment before asking: "General Guo is saying that Ji Wen found out about Yang Zhongcheng?"
"Otherwise? Chuangdu broke in and everyone was restrained."
"But the person I found out is not Yang Zhongcheng!"
Hearing this, Guo Qianli opened his mouth, widened his eyes, and showed an expression of disbelief.
"No way? No, didn't you just say that Ji Wen took your credit..."
"But what I checked was different from his."
"Why didn't you tell me when I met you when I came here?"
"Ji Wen detained me in Jingzhao Mansion, how do I know that he blamed Yang Zhongcheng?" Xue Bai was very angry and said loudly, "I thought you were going to Daozhengfang."
"Mr. !”
"I don't understand." Xue Bai shook his head, also showing confusion, "If I could see the Prime Minister in the evening, it would never be like this. But I don't understand why Ji Wen trapped me in Jingzhao Mansion? Is it possible? No, he’s not trying to gain credit?”
"ah."
Guo Qianli exclaimed, his beard seemed to be wider, and he was a little surprised.
Although he was a rough man, he understood what Xue Bai meant.
"Could Ji Wen have been bribed by the East Palace?! Xue Langjun, we have to go see the right minister quickly!"
"I just came from You Xiang's Mansion." Xue Bai said, "You Xiang is busy."
"You've been waiting for so long and still haven't seen the right prime minister?"
"Well, where is Jiwen?"
"They interrogated me in the backyard and drove me away. Damn, that guy named Yang from You Xiaowei was searching everywhere. This kind of person..."
"Do you know where Jiaonu is?"
"The girl arrived, taking the prisoner into custody. She was supposed to be a hostage. But there was no resistance. Ji Wen took the prisoner over, saying that it would be used to identify the dead men in the East Palace during interrogation."
"Jiang Mao is in Jiwen's hand?" Xue Bai frowned.
Guo Qianli cursed and said, "Isn't everything in his hands?"
Xue Bai took a few steps and muttered: "I think he wants to frame Yang Zhongcheng. Yang Zhongcheng is a loyal minister with integrity, but Ji Wen dares to do something dirty."
Guo Qianli scratched his head and secretly thought that everyone was working under the right prime minister, so there was no need to talk about being upright and upright.
"Even Yu Shi Zhongcheng dared to frame him. Ji Wen no longer wants to be an official."
Xue Bai said: "We have to get Jiang Mao back and rescue Yang Zhongcheng."
"I'm afraid that Ji Wen won't hand him over to us."
"Then you have to ask for someone, let's go!"
Guo Qianli wanted to go to Youxiang's Mansion, but he didn't expect that Xue Bai had already strode to the backyard. He was stunned and quickly followed.
~~
"As expected of a queen from a famous family."
Yang Zhao raised a luminous pearl and looked at the torch for a long time, clicking his tongue.
"Did you know that he and I are both descendants of Taiwei of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and we are all members of the Yang family of Hongnong? Why is he so wealthy?"
After muttering like this for a while, he turned around and saw Ji Wen wandering in the corridor without knowing it.
"Chicken Tongue, I'm talking to you. Can you help me see the quality of this luminous pearl?"
"It can't be wrong." Ji Wen frowned and whispered to himself, then asked: "Your people really didn't take away the weapons?"
Yang Zhao leaned up and said softly: "Who can't even distinguish between weapons and property?"
"Could it be that the dead soldiers and weapons were hidden separately?"
"Look at the quality of this night pearl..."
"Still reading? You also know that he is Yu Shi Zhongcheng, and he has always framed others. What if he bites the snake instead of killing it?"
Yang Zhao was not afraid.
He has swallowed the phlegm from the right minister, which is his confidence.
Those who straighten their backs and maintain a graceful demeanor in front of the Prime Minister are fools who can't even learn how to be a dog.
How could he be afraid of such an idiot?
And it's not like he investigated this case.
Yang Zhao then smiled and put the night pearl into his sleeve.
"well."
Ji Wen sighed, exhaled a breath of stinky breath, turned around and walked away. As he walked, he called people to shout at him and asked: "Have you come out of the trial?!"
"Jifacao, what are you still interrogating?!"
Hearing another shout, Ji Wen turned around irritably. Sure enough, it was Xue Bai and Guo Qianli coming side by side.
"This officer is handling a case! Are you trying to obstruct me again?!"
Xue Bai was tit for tat, raised his hand and shouted: "Do you think those slaves look like dead soldiers?!"
Ji Wen didn't expect him to be so arrogant, and said angrily: "I will interrogate myself, and it's not your turn to roar here in a white body!"
"You are a fool tonight, and then the real criminal will be gone. Let's see what you do!"
"Xue Bai, you have repeatedly obstructed me, what are your intentions?!"
Yang Zhao entered the main room, heard the quarrel and looked outside, only to see everyone watching.
He couldn't help but shook his head, secretly amused, he was just running an errand, why should everyone be so serious?
They don't know how to be an official.
The golden words I told Xue Bai before were in vain. But I can say it again next time, it is another gift worth a thousand dollars.
"..."
"Where's Jiang Mao?"
"I need him to identify the criminal!"
Xue Bai seemed to have calmed down and said: "Jifacao, you made a big mistake tonight. Come with me back to the Prime Minister's Mansion to apologize."
"What?"
"I advise you to go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion with me to plead guilty."
"Oh, you are not qualified to give orders to me."
"Then Jifa Cao can do what he wants." Xue Bai turned around and said, "General Guo, let's go see the right prime minister."
Guo Qianli had long been impatient. He didn't know the use of Xue Bai and Ji Wen's nonsense. He strode away after hearing this.
Ji Wen was stunned for a moment, then looked at the slaves of the Yang house who were captured by him. They didn't have any murderous intent at all. How could they look like the veterans of Longyou?
He was inexplicably flustered and quickly called Yang Zhao and said, "I have to rush to see the right minister."
"Then you go, I will send someone to escort you."
Yang Zhao hadn't finished searching the house, so he didn't want to leave. He casually called a group of people to escort Ji Wen to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
~~
"General, there is a leak in a house in Daozhengfang!"
As soon as Guo Qianli left the gate of his house, he heard Jinwu Guard coming to report.
He frowned and asked: "Which one?!"
"General." Another person rushed out from the door and reported: "Jifacao left through the back door."
"Let's go and meet the right prime minister first." Guo Qianli said immediately, "We have to get ahead of Ji Wen."
"No hurry." Xue Bai stopped and asked the soldier who reported the news: "Where is Jiang Mao? Was he taken away or left here?"
"It was taken."
Xue Bai had already planned. If Jiang Mao was left behind, he could send Guo Qianli away; if he was taken, he would have no choice but to rob him.
"General Guo, the fire in Daozhengfang may be related to the dead men in the East Palace. You'd better go and have a look. If there is no success tonight, I can explain it in front of the right minister."
Guo Qianli frowned after hearing this, thinking about whether this statement made sense.
Xue Bai moved quickly and rode straight away.
