Posthouse.
"What are you doing?!
"What are you doing? You are pretending to be a royal relative. Of course I am here to get you."
Facing the so-called Zhang family guards at the gate, Guo Yuanliang no longer showed any fear. He has already received Gao Chong's approval, and he can lead the Guo family to capture the liar pretending to be Zhang Sanniang and escort him to the county office for prosecution.
Maybe he will be praised as a "righteous citizen" at that time.
However, Guo Yuanliang did not rush forward. He raised his hand and shouted: "What are you doing standing still? Rush in."
Several servants of the Guo family immediately moved forward with sticks and swung their sticks to hit the fake guards of the Zhang family. Unexpectedly, they were slashed down with single swords. The servants of the Guo family were startled and quickly retreated, but some of them were still killed. Broken.
"Are you planning to rebel?"
When this happened, the Zhang family guards were still acting, shouting and closing the door of the post house.
Guo Yuanliang was furious and shouted: "Go get the knife! Surround the rest and don't let them escape."
"Erlang..."
Remember https://m in one second.
"Go quickly!"
Although the Guo family is a home of merchants, they secretly do illegal things such as coining coins privately and selling out loved ones. There is no shortage of desperadoes among them, and there is no shortage of simple single-handed swordsmen. Today, Xue Bai and Li Twelve Niang were captured. Why should we be concerned about such a big deal?
When the time comes, Gao Chong will come to finish it off.
After a day of fussing, it was gradually reaching evening, and the setting sun was like blood, shining in the post house. The Guo family's servants brought single-handed knives and started banging on the door.
"Bang"
"Bang"
When brothers Song Mian and Song Li arrived, they saw this scene.
"Guo Erlang!
Although they have been friends for many years, Song Li still rarely saw Guo Yuanliang showing his current madness and shouted: "What are you doing? Are you crazy?"
"Song Balang, I told you that Zhang Sanniang is fake." Guo Yuanliang smiled proudly, "I have confirmed it with my own eyes. She is pretending to be Li Twelve Niang. In order to save Xue Bai's life, don't be stupid anymore. ”
"how come?"
"Are you still awake?"
Guo Yuanliang was stunned by Song Li's stupidity. He didn't expect that such a fool could be friends with him for many years.
He sneered slightly and said, "It doesn't matter. When I escort her to court and take off her disguise, you can see her true face."
The banging sound at the door was still ringing, and Song Li was stunned when he heard it.
Although the two of them used to speak with this kind of virtue, at this time, Song Li felt that the words "press" and "peele" in Guo Yuanliang's words were particularly harsh, making him feel insulted.
"What are you thinking about?" Guo Yuanliang waved his hand and said: "This matter has nothing to do with your Song family. Don't fall into the trap of the traitor. Even if you want to come forward, you have to help me, understand?"
The noble and lovely wife he had been looking forward to suddenly disappeared. Song Li could not get over the loss for the time being, and murmured: "I don't believe it..."
Amidst the loud noise, the door of the posthouse was knocked open. Song Mian saw it and took two steps forward to see what was going on. At the same time, Guo Yuanliang leaned into Song Li's ear and whispered something.
"Ha, look at you like this. You like it so much. I'll let you play with it first, but you must speak for me later."
"I……"
"Let's go."
Song Mian looked calm, pulled Song Li and walked back, not intending to get involved in these things again.
"There are many things going on in the county. Let's go back to Luhun Villa for a while. Anyway, it has nothing to do with us."
The two brothers returned to the carriage, and their two sisters were also there, lifting the curtains and looking down the street.
"Brother, did the Guo family really fight?"
"Yeah." Song Mian said, "It seems that Zhang Sanniang is really a liar."
"How is it possible that she is a liar? Her speech and behavior are obviously that of someone who often walks around the palace, and her posture is not something ordinary people can have. Also, her attitude towards us is very arrogant. I don't believe it if she is not the daughter of a minister. "
"That's how you can deceive everyone's eyes..."
Song Li sat there, listening to the conversation between his brother and his sisters, and what he kept thinking about was Guo Yuanliang's last sentence just now, "Let you play first."
He thought, if what Guo Yuanliang said was true, he could play with the female liar; but what if it was really Zhang Sanniang? Raw rice is cooked rice, and whoever gets her will also get her heart.
"Brother, do you remember what I told you? Guo Yuanliang wanted to climb high and sent people to kidnap the Zhang family's young lady. Now that the matter has been exposed, he is dead."
"It's impossible." Song Mian said: "It's true or false. After checking it, we will know that Guo Erlang does not have such courage."
"Then who has the guts to pretend to be a royal relative?"
"Nine times out of ten it's fake."
"What if it's true? I want to marry the Zhang family's young lady, so I can't just forget about it. I have to at least see clearly what's going on... Stop the car!"
After Song Li finished speaking, he jumped off the carriage and ran towards the post house again.
At this time, there was a lot of shouting and killing in the post house. Guo Yuanliang was standing in the street and shouting vigorously. He turned around and said happily: "You are back?"
"Say yes, if it's fake, I'll play with it first; if it's true..."
"I understand. If it's true, it doesn't matter if I die, as long as you marry her."
"Okay!" Song Li said, "It's a deal."
"It's a deal." Guo Yuanliang got another boost, and he was also happy and said with a smile: "It's a deal."
County office, arresting office.
Gao Chong casually threw Xue Bai's recorded confession into the fire and burned it. He turned to the dozens of traffickers in the prison and asked, "Do you all know how to make your confession?"
clear!
"Well, the case has been overturned." Gao Chong said: "Those slaves are now in a house in Sanguan Temple Lane. You know them best. Keep the obedient ones and sell the disobedient ones. No matter who the court sends later Come and check so that they can’t find any flaws.”
Understood!
"Xu Ba, you have been to Wang Yansiam's house, you take them there."
"Here."
"Here."
After letting the traffickers go, Gao Chong turned to the dozen Cao Gang men who had been wrongfully accused of being assassins because they wanted to beat Xue Bai.
"You are almost going to become a traitor to the Nine Tribes, you know?
Gao Chong spoke, but he smiled slightly.
"You are just seeking justice from the evil county captain because you are dissatisfied with him. What's the result? Now that Xue Bai has committed a serious crime, here is your chance to clear your grievances. Go to Kuixingfang and capture his family."
"good!"
"Don't worry, County Magistrate!"
More than ten big men from the Cao Gang cheered and filed out.
Finally, Gao Chong's eyes fell on Qi Chou. After thinking for a while, he said: "Meng Wu, you will be the squad leader from now on. Follow me with the servants."
"Here!"
"Qi Chou, Shiba Dog, you stay and watch the cell."
"Yes, County Magistrate."
Only then did Gao Chong leave the county office.
A confidant hurried over on the road and reported: "County Prime Minister, there is an operation at the post house."
"Have you found Xue Bai?"
"Not yet. He left with Guo Lushi. We don't know where he is at the moment."
"Look again."
Gao Chong led the officers to the post house.
At the same time, the men sent by Li San'er also entered the city.
The city gate slowly closed, and the entire Yanshi County was under the control of the county magistrate Gao Chong.
The post house is actually not far from the county office, just across a street.
As Gao Chong left the county office, Zhao Liu hurried to the back door and opened it, only to see Xue Bai and Guo Huan waiting there.
"County Lieutenant."
"Is Magistrate Lu still there?"
"Just in the corridor."
Xue Bai nodded and walked into the county office calmly, with an expression on his face as if everything was as expected.
Zhao Liu glanced up secretly and couldn't help being frightened by the momentum. He felt much more at ease. Further ahead, Qi Chou and Shiba Gou'er were already waiting in the middle hall.
When they arrived at the county corridor, Qi Chou went up and talked in a low voice with Lu Linghao's people.
Xue Bai asked: "Is Ming Mansion here?
"Xue Bai?" Lu Linghao sounded wary, but still opened the door.
Xue Bai smiled and said: "I have a few words to say to Mingfu, can you spare the time?
Lu Linghao was surprised when he saw that he looked calm, and when he saw Guo Huan was there, he hesitated for a while and said, "Come in and talk.
"good."
The three of them re-entered the house, where there was also a close guard of Lu Linghao.
"You are so bold, how dare you find someone to pretend to be a royal relative?!"
"Mingfu doesn't have to worry."
"Am I anxious?" Lu Linghao was surprised and suspicious, and shouted: "Do you know how big a crime this is?"
"I can find someone to pretend to be the daughter of the Youxiang Mansion and the wife of Guo State, with a higher status than the Zhang family's young lady." Xue Bai said, "This matter is something Guo Yuanliang has to deal with."
This was a sophistry. If he really used the names of Li Tengkong and Yang Yuyao, he could not set a trap for people to be fooled.
But when he said this, Lu Linghao once again thought of his connections in Chang'an, and felt scruples in his heart.
Xue Bai said: "Let's be more straightforward with the Ming Dynasty. Guo Wanjin has a business of selling out beloved people, and this time they encountered a problem. They couldn't deal with the situation, so they asked Gao Xian Cheng, and several people worked together, Plan to do the opposite."
"What?"
"It is said that Guo Wanjin and his son have rebelled."
Lu Linghao stood up suddenly and shouted: "Don't talk nonsense!"
"To use a knife in front of a saint's nephew and see blood, what else is it but a rebellion?" Xue Bai said, "If you don't bring Guo Wanjin, a wealthy man, to account for it, then you will go to me to answer for it."
The latter sentence is exactly what Gao Chong means.
Since Lu Linghao didn't agree to Gao Chong, he couldn't agree to Xue Bai.
"The Saint asked me to investigate the case. If I want to find out who is here, I have to follow the Holy Heart. Don't blame me for not warning the Ming Palace about this matter earlier." Xue Bai said: "I don't know that the relationship between the Ming Palace and Guo Wanjin has been cut off No?
Lieutenant Xue County, don't push people too hard. I advise you to go to Magistrate Gao County first to discuss your matter. "
Xue Bai also knew that Lu Linghao could not be persuaded by persuasion, so he said: "Let me give the Ming Mansion a big gift."
"What?"
"A boatload of rocks."
Lu Linghao's expression changed.
Instead, Xue Bai comforted him and said: "Don't be alarmed in the Ming Dynasty. This boat is a 'wooden boat' and this stone is an 'established fact', that's all."
It's really not funny to joke about this homophony.
Lu Linghao didn't smile, and Guo Huan didn't smile either. Their expressions were very stiff. They wanted to rush forward and strangle Xue Bai to death right now, but they didn't know what else Xue Bai had in store.
"I don't understand what you are talking about." Lu Linghao said.
Xue Bai stood up, opened the door, looked at the sky, and said, "It's time to come."
After waiting for a long time, I saw a person walking into the county office and coming over here, holding a round thing in his hand.
Lu Linghao also stood up, narrowed his eyes, and gradually recognized that the man was the guard beside Xue Bai, and what he was holding... was another human head.
The head was placed on the table, and the blood had not yet dried, forming a pool of blood.
The victim's eyes were a little shocked, and he obviously did not expect to be attacked suddenly.
"Guo...Guo Wanjin?"
Lu Linghao took a step back and felt someone coming to help him. He was so frightened that he struggled quickly.
He didn't want anyone to help him, so he retreated farther away from Xue Bai.
"Did you kill Guo Wanjin?"
"This is for the Ming Dynasty." Xue Bai said: "The dead will not bite, and the dead are the most suitable to explain."
"Shouldn't Guo Wanjin be killed? He sold it out and openly ordered people to attack the royal family with knives. This is rebellion."
Lu Linghao reacted quickly and asked, "But when did you kill him?" "
When Jiang Hai heard this, he couldn't help but grin.
Of course, he didn't wait for there to be any movement before killing, as that would be difficult to kill. He directly entered Guo's house after Guo Yuanliang transferred most of the servants away.
At that time, Guo Wanjin, a wealthy man, was sitting in the lobby eating fish fillets. The bowl of fish fillets contained a lot of peppercorns and smelled very fragrant. Jiang Hai didn't even look for it. He followed the scent and dragged the bloody knife into the lobby. He slashed it down without any blood splattering on the fish fillets.
After killing someone, Jiang Hai also confirmed that there were no parrots in the hall, and it was even more impossible to shout "Jiang Hai is the one who killed the master of the house." In fact, he also liked to listen to "The Continuation of the Green Messenger" in the tea shop.
"Are you really waiting for him to rebel before taking action?"
"Is it important? What's important is that he died... How to divide the guilt? How to divide the money?"
Xue Bai answered and turned to look at Guo Huan.
When it got dark, Guo Huan's face was originally hidden in the shadows. Now he took a step forward and it was revealed that he still had the same old, round and smiling face.
He originally didn't want to get involved in this matter.
However, he must come to divide the money of the wealthy Guo family.
As long as 1.5 million yuan is given to the court, the rest will be divided among them.
This was the first gift that Xue Bai gave to Lu Linghao, called "a done deal" and "an established fact."
In the post house, Du Shi stood on the attic and watched the fighting below. What came to his mind was what Xue Bai said.
“You don’t have to seek perfection, as long as you achieve your goal.”
"If you win, you will win completely; if you lose, you will lose completely."
"The key lies in the attitude of Lu Linghao, Song Mian and others. Lu Linghao seems to be weak, but in fact he is the head of a county. The people, officials, officials, city guards, and even the canal gangs. Once there is a dilemma, the county head's words are: authority."
Since Xue Bai dared to let her choose Li Twelve Niang to play Zhang Sanniang, he just wanted to attract the attention of all parties. As for being exposed by Guo Yuanliang, it is inevitable and will happen sooner or later.
It doesn’t matter if it happened……..
"The wealthy Guo family has rebelled!
"The Guo family rebelled by killing officials!
The shouts have sounded in the post house and in various places in the city.
Du Shi was very satisfied with what she heard. She had handed over all the talismans of Fengweilou, and there was only one command to send.
"kill."
In the attic.
Li Twelve Niang had already changed into her short-breasted martial robe, picked up a piece of cloth, and covered her pretty face.
The goal has been achieved, she is no longer the young lady of the Zhang family.
When I turned around, I saw Mrs. Gongsun standing there.
"Master."
"Ready for revenge?"
"Disciple, I'm sorry to Master." Li Twelve Niang couldn't hold it back, her eyes turned red, "Disciple used the skills taught by Master as a killing technique..."
"Silly boy."
Aunt Gongsun stepped forward, pulled Li Twelve Niang, patted her head, and said: "The sword is a killing weapon, 'Zhao Keman Huying, Wu Gou Shuangxue Ming', the sword is used to act chivalrously and righteously." , because the world is peaceful, swordsmen have no place to use their skills, so they have no choice but to sing and dance in this prosperous age."
Li Twelve Niang couldn't help hugging Aunt Gongsun and burst into tears.
"But... the disciple has brought trouble to the master."
"Don't be afraid. Don't say it again. Go ahead. If you want revenge, go ahead."
In fact, if there were no accidents, Li Twelve Niang had planned to never mention her past again, just practice dancing hard and dance sword for the rest of her life.
But this time when I arrived in Luoyang, something unexpected happened.
She met the maid Lu Huan in Luoyang Ling's mansion and watched Lu Huan being taken away with her own eyes. When she asked her master for help again, Lu Huan had become a cold corpse.
——"Bad maid."
Guo Yuanliang's words echoed in her ears again.
"People cannot forget their origins. Being ungrateful will be despised by the world."
This caused her already precipitated hatred to boil over again, and she could not forget her parents' upbringing.
That night, Du Shi came to visit and asked her many questions.
"Why do you want to save Green Ring?"
"I just want to save her."
"Then did you know that she was involved in the big case behind her?"
"What big case?"
After a conversation, Li Twelve Mother suddenly realized that she had a chance for revenge.
When Du Shi was about to leave, Li Twelve Niang looked down at her toes and thought to herself that she had worn out her toes while dancing with the sword in the past seven years. Do she really want to give up all this and bring up the old things again?
After a long time, she asked: "Second mother, can you count me in?"
"What?"
"I have a grudge against the Guo family."
"how come?"
"I am from Yancheng, the same hometown as Master. Yancheng is not big, but it has iron, salt, and silver. When I was a child, my family was very wealthy. My grandfather is the accountant of the county government, so I know this. But when I was six years old, my grandfather offended someone and the other party hired a murderer to kill our family..."
"Did the Guo family do it?"
"They thought I didn't know, but I actually knew it all along. My grandfather only had time to send me away. I also heard him tell my brother several times that there was a problem with the Guo family's business... I originally thought that selling myself I became a maid in the Guo family so that I could take revenge when I grew up. But later, I got scared and met the master again, and she let me live again."
"Then you still want to take revenge?"
"Lu Huan is dead." Li Twelve Niang blurted out inexplicably at that time and whispered: "After seven years, I am alive, but Lu Huan is dead, those things have not changed, I want to kill the bad guys. "
"Then you are the only one."
It only took three days for Li Twelve Niang to become Zhang Sanniang, and Du Shi had been making arrangements behind her back.
She knew that from the moment she set foot on this path, she would no longer be able to dance the sword in front of everyone. Seven years of learning the skill was a waste of her master's efforts.
But tonight, she could dance to her heart's content.
A sword thrust out and pierced the servant of the Guo family in front of her. Li Twelve Niang showed no mercy and recalled in a daze the night when her family was destroyed when she was young.
"Disciples, put down the rebellion!
Aunt Gongsun shouted, supporting her as usual. He led the disciples to rush to her side and swung his sword to kill the servants.
The sword dance, which was usually just for viewing, became a real killing weapon this night.
Huo Ruyi shoots at the nine sunsets, which are like the flying dragons of all emperors.
It comes like thunder to absorb its wrath, and ends like the clear light of the river and sea.
The cries of killing became less and less, and the screams became more and more.
Guo Yuanliang looked around and saw that the Guo family's servants were about to retreat.
"Surround them! Don't let these demon thieves pretending to be royal relatives escape!"
Although he said this, he himself was so shocked that he took a few steps back.
Song Li, who was beside him, was also frightened. He regretted not listening to his brother and just went back to Luhun Villa.
But he vaguely saw the women wielding swords to hurt people in the chaos, and hope arose in his heart. Those were Gongsun Auntie and her disciples. How could they follow the fake royal relatives?
If the situation were reversed, he would capture Guo Yuanliang in one fell swoop and give Guo Yuanliang's head to Zhang Sanniang to win her favor.
Song Li was shaken by the changes in the situation, and suddenly there was loud shouting in the streets.
"The officers and soldiers are here to capture those who pretend to be royal relatives!"
That was the arrival of County Magistrate Gao Chong.
Song Li then thought that even if it was a fake Zhang Sanniang, her appearance was not something that the slaves in the villa could have. Let's try something new.
Anyway, he stayed on.
The next moment, things happened.
When the Guo family's servants saw the county magistrate coming, they all retreated to make way.
But no one expected that those monster thieves pretending to be royal relatives did not break out or retreat to the post house, but some of them actually came to kill them.
"Guo Yuanliang! Take your life!
Following this shout, the petite figure rushing to the front waved the long sword in his hand.
"puff."
Blood spattered at Guo Yuanliang's feet. He changed color in shock, turned around and ran away.
The woman holding the sword was nimble in her steps, and under the cover of her companions, she penetrated the servant's defense and strode to catch up.
Song Li was so frightened that he backed away repeatedly, stumbling and almost falling, but when he looked around, he saw that the figure of the woman holding the sword looked like the Zhang Sanniang he had seen the night before. With a thought in his mind, he called for people to chase after her.
"Hurry up and chase."
He didn't say who he was helping, and just followed him respectfully.
Running west from the post house, there are two small canals with residential houses beside them.
There are two small figures hiding in the dark corner.
"Commander Qu, the county lieutenant has said so. We just keep an eye on the report."
"I know."
"Then what are you doing with a knife?"
"I'm so good at fighting, how could they leave me... Come on, Pen'er, go remind me, Uncle Liang."
"oh."
After Pen'er left, Ren Mulan stood up and ran forward.
She heard screams.
"Do not kill me!"
ah!
"Don't kill me! Ah!"
"puff."
"Don't kill me...I saved your life."
"puff."
"Help me...save me..."
"Thank you for taking this sword."
"puff."
...I took you in...
The man on the ground climbed over to Ren Mulan with difficulty, followed by a little woman who was stabbing him with sword after sword.
Ren Mulan then waved to the little girl and said happily: "Zhang Sanniang, it's you, come here quickly, it's me."
Li Twelve Niang struck out with her sword again and closed her eyes, dazed for a moment.
Just then she turned her head, and there were already heavy footsteps behind her. She said hurriedly: "Mulan? You hurry up, I'll lead him away first, and she will run away in a hurry."
"Hey, I..."
Ren Mulan still wanted to speak, but the pursuers had arrived, so she had to retreat into the darkness.
I heard a crowd of people arriving and howling.
"Erlang!"
The moonlight was long and shining on the snow on the ground, Guo Yuanliang was already dead.
The father and son of the Guo family, the bandit leaders who rebelled tonight, are dead and the end is done.
