In the county, people kept coming to report the news.
"Official Zhao is on the run."
"Even if Taiping City is turned upside down, find him for me!"
Yang Xuan stood in the hall with his back turned.
"Mingfu, there are not enough manpower."
"Mobilize the death camp, Nan He goes!"
"Take your orders!"
This was the first time Nan He saw Yang Xuan like this. When he looked at the old thief and others, it was obviously his first time seeing him.
A few moments.
The city is full of sergeants from death camps.
In the county hall, Hu Laoliu knelt in front of Yang Xuan.
"Tell me, how did you see through Zhang San?" Yang Xuan asked.
The old thief raised his knife.
Hu Laoliu shrank away and said: "Every time Zhang San comes back from work, he always asks how his sister is, but this time he changed his story, and the villain noticed that his eyes were twinkling. The villain wanted to kill him to silence him, and then
Escape."
"Who can help you escape?" Yang Xuan asked coldly.
"Guan Zhao said there is a way."
Zhao Guan was too busy to take care of himself at the moment. As for the way to escape, he couldn't find any way to escape.
He fled wildly through the city.
The dense footsteps behind him were chasing after him.
Zhao Guan jumped and landed on the wall.
Dig inside and you'll find the hiding place.
He turned in.
After landing, I saw two sergeants from the death camp waiting with smiles.
"Yeye was a being who couldn't even catch up with bad guys back then. Your methods like this are just to give Yeah a smile, hahahaha!"
Boom!
Zhao Guan was dragged out like a dead dog.
"The Ming government has issued an order to close the city gate!"
The city gate had previously allowed entry but not exit. Now that it is closed, it is a situation of catching a turtle in an urn.
…
In the backyard, Wang Zhangyi came in quietly and pointed to the wing. The big man guarding the door nodded, indicating that Sun Yu was in a good mood.
"Mr. Sun." Wang Zhangyi whispered.
"Well, come in."
Sun Yu's voice had a different meaning, and Wang Zhangyi thought it was pride.
He entered the side room and said, "Mr. Sun, Zhang San went to spread the news and was arrested. He surrendered to Yang Xuan and was killed by Zhao Guan."
Sun Yu held a scroll and said slowly: "I was born in Taiping, and my mother was illiterate. When I was ten years old, I saw a prisoner writing on the ground with a branch, so I knelt down and begged..."
Wang Zhangyi was stunned, but he did not dare to question it. Instead, he flattered him and said, "That man must have accepted Mr. Sun."
Sun Yu shook his head, "No, after that I went there every day. He wrote, and I wiped away the dust on the ground for him. This lasted for a month before the man nodded and accepted me."
Wang Zhangyi thought how long had it been and you still said this.
"I have learned a truth from now on: to be a human being, one must be resilient."
Sun Yu smiled and said: "Guan Zhao can't escape, but what does he have to do with us?"
Thinking of the arrangement of the old man in front of him over the years, Wang Zhangyi's waist bent even more.
Sun Yu sighed: "That man was an official who was corrupt and was exiled. He was a good man, but he died a bad death."
Wang Zhangyi smiled dryly and said: "Then he must have been executed."
Sun Yu shook his head, "That year he wanted to start teaching classes, so I killed him. He looked in disbelief when he died. I still remember it now. Do you know why you killed him?"
Wang Zhangyi shook his head.
Sun Yu smiled happily, "If he starts teaching classes, there will be an endless supply of smart people in the city. In this way, wouldn't it be better for me to be literate alone?"
There were footsteps outside.
"Mr. Sun, Officer Zhao has been arrested."
Sun Yu's smile faded and he said calmly: "Cut off those connections."
…
The smell of blood in the county is getting stronger and stronger.
The old thief cut the flesh with a knife.
"I said."
Outside, Cao Ying asked: "How long has he been erect?"
Wang Laoer looked back and said, "It takes twelve slices of meat."
Cao Ying nodded, "He is a good man."
"Record!" Yang Xuan walked in.
Zhen Siwen retched and recorded the people and things that Zhao Guan told him.
He handed over more than ten accomplices.
"Who is your superior?"
Zhao Guan said: "Meng Jian."
When Meng Jian was found, he was already dead and had been stabbed in the back.
"It was stabbed by an acquaintance, reaching the waist." The old thief looked at the corpse and said firmly.
"Have you found Zhang Siniang?" Yang Xuan asked.
Nan He shook his head, "I haven't found it yet."
Yang Xuan turned around, a stern look flashed in his eyes, "Torture, beat to death... no matter what!"
"Take orders."
The screams of the county people have not stopped since then.
"I know..."
Someone couldn't bear the torture and told Zhang Siniang's whereabouts.
"I only saw her accidentally last year. She is in the south of the city..."
The people in the city didn't know what happened today, but they knew one thing, those who were involved in underground activities would be in bad luck.
Yang Xuan left the county house.
He took dozens of sergeants and rode outside a house in the south of the city.
In the house, several women were squatting and sobbing. Next to them was a man and a woman, both of whom were holding long knives.
"Whoever dares to speak out will be killed!"
The woman said fiercely.
The man looked back and said, "There are sergeants everywhere in the city. Should we change places?"
The woman scolded: "Are you a pig? Now you go out without asking yourself. Just wait."
The man said angrily: "What if they find this place?"
"Don't worry!" the woman said proudly: "Those people are scapegoats, no one knows we are here."
The man let out a long breath, pointed at a girl of thirteen or fourteen years old and asked, "Can Zhang Siniang use it?"
The woman scolded: "You bitch slave, Zhang Siniang is a high-quality product designated by the higher authorities. She is just waiting for a noble man to come and flatter you. You don't even urinate and look after yourself, are you worthy?"
The man touched his face and said, "Yeah, why don't you train her first?"
The girl looked up, with a timid little face and beautiful facial features.
"Yeah, touch the assembly!" The man stretched out his hand with a vulgar look on his face.
Boom!
The door crashed down, and in the smoke and dust, someone rushed in.
"Get on the wall!"
Several archers climbed onto the wall, unfurling their bows and setting arrows.
"Kill them!" the woman screamed, raising her knife.
An arrow flew over and pierced into the woman's thigh. She fell to the ground with a howl, and shouted in despair: "Quickly, kill them, otherwise you and I will die happily!"
The man trembled, turned around and raised his knife.
Yang Xuan strode in, casually threw the long bow to Nan He, and kicked it.
With just one kick, everyone seemed to hear the sound of eggs breaking.
Yang Xuan came over.
Asked: "Who is Zhang Siniang?"
The girl looked up, worried and said, "It's a slave."
Yang Xuan nodded, "You, follow me!"
…
Except for the sergeant, there was no one else on the street at the moment.
Zhang Siniang followed Yang Xuan and looked around timidly.
Behind those cracks in the door, pairs of eyes were staring at them.
today.
Taiping City has changed!
Outside the county, more than ten sergeants guarded the area.
Yi Niang looked out from inside, and when she saw Yang Xuan, she said happily: "Mr. Lang is back."
After seeing Zhang Siniang, Yi Niang's smile suddenly froze, and then burst out into a more fiery smile.
"Whose little lady is this? Come quickly."
Yang Xuan said: "Zhang San's sister, Yi Niang, take her to the back to wash up and change clothes first."
"Leave it to the slave." Yi Niang led Zhang Siniang to the backyard.
Yang Xuan entered the lobby, where Cao Ying and several minor officials were checking the confessions.
"how?"
Cao Ying raised her head, shook her head and said: "As soon as Meng Jian dies, the line is broken. Lang Jun, that person behind you is quite clever!"
"The man and woman were sent immediately for torture!"
Yang Xuan picked up the confession and looked at it.
"This has been going on for many years, why is it so quiet these days when I arrive?"
Zhen Siwen picked up a confession and said, "The person behind the scenes sent a message to the newcomers in the Ming Dynasty to be quiet for a while and not to cause trouble."
"No wonder I said that it has been so quiet these days that people forget that this is a city of sin." Yang Xuan sneered, "Those who can control Taiping City are not young."
This requires a long period of deployment and deterrence.
The results of the torture came out quickly.
"Those women are all prostitutes and are controlled by that group of people. Most of the people in the city are poor. The group of people are waiting for the officials to come to peace and send them to serve."
"Taiping is so remote, how many officials can come throughout the year?" Yang Xuan said coldly: "This must not be to make money, but to win over people. It's a good method."
Zhen Siwen, who went out to ask, came back and said with admiration: "That's exactly it."
"Ming Mansion, Zhang Qifa, the boss of Nilv, has arrived."
As soon as Zhang Qifa came in, he knelt down and said with tears streaming down his face: "The villain has never interfered with their affairs. The villain swears that if he does, he will die without a burial place."
"It is a crime to allow prostitutes to come in and out!" Suzaku said coldly.
"If you had interfered, today would be the day you go to jail." Yang Xuan walked up to Zhang Qifa and said coldly: "But just by allowing a prostitute, I can deal with you. These few
Women, you give us fifty dollars each."
Zhang Qifa instantly wanted to howl.
"You can try shouting!"
The old thief smiled evilly and twirled the knife in his left hand with incredible dexterity.
"Mr. Lang."
Cao Ying came in with the document, "Zhouli sent the document earlier, I'm just reading it now. Zhouli asked..." He glanced at Yang Xuan, "How is my predecessor?"
Liu Qing has a tough style. According to the rules of the Tang Dynasty, he needs to give an evaluation for the transfer of important officials in Chenzhou, as an important reference for the Ministry of Personnel to adjust the official.
And Liu Qing waited for Yang Xuan to take office for a while before asking anyone to ask him. This is a real evaluation.
Cao Ying was worried that Yang Xuan didn't understand, "These kind of comments usually mean good things."
"Everyone is carrying the sedan chair, hello to you, hello to me, hello to everyone." Zhuque kept saying strange things.
The women suddenly looked at Yang Xuan.
In those eyes!
It's all anger and hatred.
A woman said with tears: "Mingfu, one of my companions came for help earlier this year and was kicked out. Those people beat her to death in order to intimidate us..."
Several women knelt down.
Yang Xuan raised his eyes.
"Send all the evidence to Lin'an and tell Lin'an, the former magistrate Yushan..."
He said word by word: "It is shameless to take bribes and pervert the law!"
Cao Ying cupped her hands and said solemnly: "Take the order."
Yang Xuan said coldly: "After asking for the confession, if anyone is alive, he will be beaten to death outside the county house and the people will watch."
"Mingfu, the law... I'm afraid that someone will take the opportunity to cause trouble." Zhen Siwen swore that he had good intentions, and he was worried that someone would use this to attack Yang Xuan in the future.
"Those victims have been suffering for many years, who will care? Who!" Yang Xuan said decisively: "Since no one gives them justice, I will give them!"
Several women kowtowed and howled.
Yang Xuan stood there and said calmly: "If anyone uses this to criticize, I'll be waiting!"
