Chapter 146 Breakthrough, Breakthrough
Yun Zhao waited until his two troubled women came back before he was completely relieved.
This assassination was not as simple as Qian Duoduo thought.
The number of people involved and the wide scope of involvement were beyond what Qian Duoduo could have expected.
After reading the documents sent by Qian Shaoshao, Yun Zhao realized that he had become a public enemy of the Ming Dynasty.
As long as anyone had the ability to dispatch assassins, they all dispatched assassins.
The assassins Feng Ying met in the lotus pond were only an insignificant part. There were more assassins lurking on the road between Yushan City and Chang'an. They not only had muskets, crossbows, but also gunpowder. It's still high-potency gunpowder produced by Yunshi.
What Qian Duoduo and Feng Ying didn’t know was that the road they were taking had been inspected almost inch by inch by Qian Shaoshao. The places they thought were uninhabited were actually hidden. The people in black clothes.
They didn’t even know that this incident had resulted in twenty-two ordinary Lantian people being killed by assassins.
This is almost inevitable.
A small action by a big man can cause death and injury to little people.
Qian Shaoshao was furious about this.
In just nine days, he captured 211 spies from various places from Lantian County and even Guanzhong.
Mao Bijiang struggled to wake up in the morning. The moment he saw the sun, he wanted to commit suicide again!
When he saw the rising sun before, he was always very ambitious. Now when he saw the rising sun, he knew that his day of being used as a big animal was about to begin again.
Every moment of a new day requires him to risk his life to deal with it.
Taking out a bucket of water from the well, he looked at the reflection in the bucket. The haggard human-shaped person inside gave him enough strangeness, and he couldn't help but feel sad. In the past, that graceful person There was no trace of the beautiful boy.
The horse bit was finally removed from their mouths, but the four of them had no intention of talking.
We were very lucky today. No one urged them to get up and work when the sun rose. Therefore, these four former good men finally had a moment of leisure to think about why they had ended up like this.
"We were betrayed."
Mao Bijiang was not an idiot. The moment he was caught in the accident, he knew that he had been betrayed.
"Who betrayed us?"
Chen Zhenhui asked in a low voice as she took a bite of dry, hard and bitter buckwheat steamed buns.
Hou Fangyu said softly: "We shouldn't trust prostitutes!"
Fang Yizhi said: "Kou Baimen and Gu Hengbo are both heroes among women and will not betray us. "
Hou Fangyu sneered: "You actually believe in these despicable women?"
Mao Bijiang raised his head and looked at Hou Fangyu and said: "You hand-picked the assassin. I don't think theyMore suspicious? "
Hou Fangyu wanted to make a few excuses, but finally lamented: "I have fallen to this, do you even want to doubt me? "
Chen Zhenhui and Hou Fangyu are usually very close to each other. They use their wits to show their wisdom and risk their lives to target Hou Fangyu. They waved their hands and said: "Don't have internal strife. At this time, we can only tide over the difficulties by working together. "
Hou Fangyu was silent for a moment and said: "Before I went north, I left a letter to my father, telling all the details. At this moment, we are trapped here. My father should have known it. Zuo Gong is waiting for me, maybe there is a glimmer of hope. "
Fang Yizhi sneered.
"Zuo Liangyu's beautiful young ladies were all beheaded by Yun Zhao, and Zuo Liangyu didn't see Yun Zhao being killed. Do something. ”
Hou Fangyu said angrily: “In this case, we will wait to die!” ”
I don’t know when the four of them stopped arguing, and Mao Bijiang finally said: “We must work hard to survive. No matter who can return to Jiangnan, we must hold high our banner of restoring society and fight with Yun.” Zhao and other national thieves will fight to the end! "
Chen Zhenhui and Fang Yizhi lamented without saying a word. Only Hou Fangyu's eyes flashed, thoughtfully.
They were really lucky today, no one came until noon Driving them to work.
The four of them took a rare nap in the sun.
The sun was already setting in the west when they were yelled at. p>
Everyone was given a hoe and led to a ravine.
The handsome young man who tortured them on the first day was also there, but this time, this one. A devilishly handsome young man wearing a scarlet cloak sat on a wooden platform.
And under the wooden platform... there were hundreds of headless corpses scattered everywhere.
In fact. , their heads were still there, but they were just hung up.
The atmosphere in the valley was thick with blood, and the killing was still going on.
The four of them were pushed forward by the strong men. In a big pit, they were ordered to continue digging...
The prisoners' cries, cries, and screams before they died could be heard.
The four of them could only dig. Outside the pit, I couldn't think of anything.
After another scream, it finally became quiet, and soon, a headless corpse was thrown into the pit.
p>Without anyone else’s instructions, the four people from Mao Pijiang buried the body as quickly as possible. Soon, another body was thrown down, and they continued to bury it...
They didn’t know what to do. After a while, the four people who were originally in the pit slowly stepped on the layers of corpses that had just been buried.
At this time, the sky was full of stars.
There were several bonfires lit on the ground, and the men in black who had just killed people were sitting around the bonfires, drinking and eating, and making fun of the heads from time to time.
Maopi. The hair all over Jiang's body stood up, as if he heard ghost chirps.
"You said that after killing more than two hundred bastards, what are you still doing with these four thieves? Are we really short of big animals?"
"Yes, That's right, after the young master comes back, let's make a proposal like this. It will be troublesome to drag these four people back at night..."
"That's right, as long as they are thieves who are harmful to my Lantian, They should all be cut into pieces."
As the whispers came from those people, the four of them felt as cold as if they were in an ice cellar.
"I am Hou Fangyu, the son of Hou Xun, the Minister of Household Affairs of the Ming Dynasty. I want to see the Lord of Lantian County!" Big risk.
Mao Bijiang covered Hou Fangyu's mouth and whispered: "Have you forgotten the old story about Wang Wenzhen, Zuo Liangyu, and Yang Sichang who were almost killed?"
Hou Fangyu completely Unable to listen, he broke away from Mao Bijiang like a mad tiger, rolled and crawled to the edge of the fire, kowtowed repeatedly and said: "This matter has nothing to do with me, it is all bewitched by Mao Bijiang, Fang Yizhi. ”
The executioners who were drinking and eating looked at Hou Fangyu indifferently, who kept kowtowing, and then looked at Mao Bijiang, Chen Zhenhui, and Fang Yizhi, who were standing there blankly, with their mouths wide open. Huang Banya showed his mouth and said with a smile: "So, they are all big fish?"
Hou Fangyu said quickly: "Mao Pijiang and Fang Yizhi are both leaders of Jiangnan Fushe. This time They were the ones who initiated the incident. They also colluded with the famous prostitutes Kou Baimen, Gu Hengbo, Dong Xiaowan, Bian Yujing and others to prepare to kill the Lantian County Lord.
You must report to the county Lord quickly, otherwise it will be too late. ”
The strong men nodded repeatedly, and two of them quickly got up, mounted their horses and ran away.
Facing the swarm of executioners, he closed his eyes in pain and turned to Chen Zhenhui unwillingly. Fang Yizhi said: "We will die today. I will not blame others. It is only our fault that we are blind." "
Fang Yizhi, who was ready to be killed, laughed and said: "This person is worse than a prostitute!"
Chen Zhenhui, who was already tied up by the executioner, suddenly laughed. : "He was nice to me. After all, he didn't say that I was also the leader, haha, but I don't accept this favor."
Hou Fangyu watched the three people being tied up like rice dumplings and pulled away from him. As he passed by, the expression on his face was unclear, and he took a step forward blankly to say sorry.
However, when the three people were carried past him, they all turned their heads without even looking at him.
"I am begging for life... Do you know, Maoxiang, you just said this morning that one of us needs to escape."
No matter No matter how Hou Fangyu defended himself, the three people remained silent and allowed themselves to be thrown into the carriage by the executioners.
An executioner smiled and put the rope around Hou Fangyu's neck and said, "You're good, so there's no need to tie him up, but you still have to be careful."
After that, he tightened it. He took off the noose, mounted the horse, and asked Hou Fangyu toHe staggered to follow.
"Fang Yizhi, Chen Zhenhui and others can still be used as long as they change some of the bad habits of the old literati. As for Hou Fangyu, forget it. Even we Lantian old thieves look down on it. This person.
He claimed that he was ashamed to be in the company of this person."
Duan Guoren placed a document on Yun Zhao's desk and said softly.
Yun Zhao opened the document and looked at it again and said: "Why are the children of the aristocratic family so miserable?"
Xie Zhi whispered to the side: "The Hou family is not an aristocratic family. It takes only two generations to go from being a lowly citizen to being a scholar. It takes constant hard work to achieve the status we have today.
This kind of person has not yet developed the nobility of a big family, and it is common for people to follow the wind. "
Han Lingshan said: "Since Mao, Fang, and Chen have withstood the test of life and death, we should not continue to humiliate them. As for Hou Fangyu, we cannot stay long and let his father send him. For 20,000 taels of silver, let's take him back."
Yun Zhao nodded and said, "That's it, but let Hou Fangyu go back first, and wait until this guy is completely exposed in Jiangnan. Let these three people go back after their reputation is ruined."
Xie Zhi nodded and said, "Leave these three people to me. They are all rare talents in Jiangnan. They have not used it on the right path before. They need someone to guide them and see the big world beyond the bottom of the well before they can repent." Yun Zhao smiled and handed the document to Liucheng, who used Yunzhao. After sealing the letter, he placed the document on Haezhi's desk again.
Xie Zhi stroked the document and let out a sigh of relief: "The precious trees in the south of the Yangtze River occasionally grow yellow leaves, and I am very happy."
Han Lingshan smiled and said: "This The four of them are already the most famous rising stars among the Jiangnan scholars. If they do not have the ambition to dominate the world, then it is obvious that the Jiangnan scholars prefer to stay in a corner."
Duan Guoren said with a smile. : They have no ability to defend Jiangnan, whether facing us, Li Hongji, Zhang Bingzhong, even if they are slaves, their mouths and pens are not enough to defend Jiangnan and rule across the river with others.
Yun Zhao smiled and said: "I can order Zhou Guoping and the others to be brave and diligent, and completely tear apart the connection between the people of Jiangnan and the scholars. I think Hou Fangyu is a good breakthrough." ”
Everyone nodded in unison, and Liu Cheng went to draw up the documents with a smile.
