Under the afterglow of the setting sun, the streets that were not desolate were covered with few pedestrians. Three or two children were playing in the street. As the sun set, the afterglow gradually disappeared. A family in the village opened the window and called their children back for dinner.
.
Suddenly a big yellow dog came out, raised its neck and barked at Su Yan and the two of them, spitting everywhere, looking extremely fierce. Then someone yelled and cursed: "Stupid dog, barking all day long, how can there be such a bad person in this poor place?"
, I’ll kill you if I call you again!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the big yellow dog closed his mouth, turned around and whimpered aggrievedly, and huddled under the eaves of the house, looking up at Su Yan and Su Yan with a look of loyalty and honesty.
Su Yan found it funny, this dog has two faces!
He found a house, which was the home where the children were playing just now. Su Yan first paid homage to the elderly man in the family, and then asked the man in charge: "Do you know a woman named Ranxiang? I am a relative of her family. This visit,
But I don’t know where her home is, and I hope you can tell me.”
The man put down his chopsticks and stared at Su Yan warily: "Young Master looks dignified and well-dressed. He seems to be from Kyoto. But I remember that Ranxiang's family lived here. I haven't heard of any relatives in Kyoto for so many years. You
Who is her relative?"
Su Yan said calmly: "I also arrived in Kyoto this year. I used to do small business in several towns in Chu State. To be honest, Ranxiang's grandfather and my grandmother are brothers and sisters. They were involved in wars when they were young.
They were not separated, and they moved around and got married, but they kept exchanging letters. However, the family was poor, and later the grandmother lost her son, so they could not get to know each other. Now that they are successful in their lives, I heard that Sister Ranxiang is still living here, so I
I want to meet you and fulfill my grandma’s last wish.”
The man and his family were very moved when they heard that. The man immediately stood up and bowed his hands in greeting: "I didn't expect that the young master would be so affectionate. I was the one who was rude. But Ranxiang had already married and left Nanjie Village, and now lives next door.
In the village, his man's name is "Xu Shu" who collects swill. Although the work he does is dirty and smelly, his income is good. He even manages the government's swill. He also raises two pigs at home, and his life is better than before.
!If you go to meet each other, you have to talk to each other properly, life will be miserable if you are dyed incense!"
Her father disappeared and his whereabouts are still unknown. If she had not married someone, she would have been unable to survive as a woman alone, and her life would indeed be miserable.
Su Yan thanked the man and left the place in a hurry.
Xilou suddenly thought of something and said: "After we see Ranxiang, we might as well ask people in these villages to see if there are other missing people, and maybe we can find more clues."
"Several people have disappeared. Instead of investigating in detail, the government has suppressed these cases. There must be many connections between the many missing cases and the government itself. I think it is undoubtedly Murphy!"
Xilou has a headache: "The cases have been backlogged for many years, and I'm afraid we won't be able to find these missing people."
Su Yan was confused about another thing and asked him: "You haven't said yet why you suddenly came to Liangshan to check on Mo Fei. I remember that Liangshan Gold Mine was mentioned in Wu Shang's account book, but why do you have to wait like this?
How long have you been here to check?"
Xilou knew that she would get to the bottom of it and would not give up until her goal was achieved. Since she had already been involved, there was no point in hiding it. He had no choice but to tell the whole story: "Wu Shang knew only a superficial knowledge. Later Zuo Qing went to ask Changsun Xun
, I wanted to explore the core content, but I didn’t expect it to be very similar to what Wu Shang said. In the land of Liangshan, there are many Mo Fei’s eyes and eyes. If you go there without confidence, you may ruin the big thing, so you can only give up. Until the previous period.
On the same day, Wu Shang suddenly appeared in Yunlaige and brought the head of the Liangshan County Magistrate, as well as the topographic map of Liangshan, so that we could start working on the Liangshan gold mine."
"Wu Shang killed officials?" Su Yan couldn't believe his ears: "Is he crazy? He dared to kill court officials for money!"
"There is no treacherous businessman, no businessman is cold-blooded, that's what I'm talking about. Thanks to him, we have the opportunity to install one of our own to forge an imperial edict to replace the government office. This place is remote, the court will not come, and it will not be discovered for a while. This is not
It gives us enough time to investigate the gold mine. If we want to investigate the gold mine and find its specific location, our current direction is only from the entrance of missing persons in recent years, and we should be able to follow the clues and continue to trace it."
"I thought you were checking missing persons because you suspected that Murphy was training secretly, but I didn't expect it was a gold mine!"
"Your guess may be correct. Who knows if he will be training here. Anyway, both of these things are treason, enough to kill him a hundred times!"
The two of them exchanged words with each other, and within a short time they arrived at the village where Ranxiang was located - Chang'an Village.
The woman in plain clothes with a blue scarf on her head was feeding chickens in the vegetable garden. When she saw two strangers who were both dressed in rich and expensive clothes, she was a little at a loss. She thought her husband had offended someone, and she was scared and confused.
Worried, the bowl in his hand also dropped to the ground.
Su Yan quickly reassured: "Sister-in-law, we don't mean any harm. We are passing by here and would like to ask if you know the residence of a woman named Ranxiang?"
The woman was even more frightened and stammered, "What happened to my husband?"
"Your husband's name is Xu Su?" Xilou asked her.
"yes……"
"Don't worry, nothing happened to your husband. We are here to find you."
Ranxiang breathed a sigh of relief, but then became vigilant again, which was completely opposite to the wife who was only worried about her husband. She quickly went to the back of the door and grabbed the latch, and said angrily to her and the others: "I have already made it clear, I will not check again.
,Why don’t you let me go?”
Both of them were confused. Su Yan asked her: "Who won't let you go? What are you checking?"
Ranxiang's hand holding the door latch was a little harder: "Why bother testing? If I say I give up, I give up. What else do you want? We live in Liangshan and can't get out at all. You might as well have killed me cleanly.
!”
"You're talking about the county government?" Su Yan probably guessed the cause and effect. He took a few steps forward and stopped in front of her. "The two of us are from Kyoto, not from the Liangshan County government. The purpose of coming here is to investigate your father."
Disappearance case.”
In the 19th year of Weisheng, Li Wenji disappeared. His daughter was searched for several months to no avail, and the report was dismissed. Seven years have passed. Perhaps it was the resentment and sadness accumulated over many years, or the constant pressure and obstruction from the government, that made
While her body was covered with thorns, she was always frightened and her heart was extremely fragile. After many years, the case of her father's disappearance came into focus again, and her hope and grief suddenly surged out, leaving her speechless for a moment.
Su Yan comforted her for a long time, and Ranxiang slowly recovered her speech ability.
Ranxiang's home is located at the end of Chang'an Village, built next to the water. There is also a pavilion extending to the water. The pavilion is surrounded by bamboo curtains and has a stone table in the center. The lotus flowers in the water are growing well, and some have already penetrated into the water.
The railing was right next to Su Yan's feet.
"This pavilion is quite elegant. It must have been built by your husband. I'm really envious." Su Yan said with a smile to Ranxiang who came over with tea.
After Ranxiang handed the tea to the guests, she also sat at the stone table. Talking about her husband, she showed a shy smile: "I am afraid of heat, so my husband built this pavilion for me. Whenever it is hot, I will always
Let’s cool down in the air here, and we’ll have dinner here too.”
Su Yan suddenly thought of her father. In the past, he would treat her mother like Xu Shu. At that time, she always thought that such a life would last forever.
Su Yan did not struggle for a long time because of the painful childhood experience as usual. He just smiled bitterly, then put it behind him and asked Ranxiang about his father's experience.
Recalling what happened seven years ago, Ranxiang still has lingering fears.
Seven years ago, Li Wenji ran a spice shop. The business was good, but due to poor management, he owed a debt. At that time, he was not old enough to dye incense. One day, Li Wenji went out and told his daughter to close the shop to prevent creditors.
They came to the house to cause trouble and went out to borrow money on their own. But once they left, they never returned.
Later, Ranxiang searched everywhere and even reported it to the official. The county magistrate Feidan did not send anyone to search. Instead, he asked his father why he failed to repay the debt, how he came to Liangshan in the first place, and why he did not register his household registration after living in Liangshan for many years. Ranxiang
Xiang was young and ignorant, and had never seen such a scene before. He was so frightened that he said nothing. In the end, the case was dismissed and the person was kicked out.
Afterwards, Ranxiang did not give up and continued to search for traces of her father throughout Liangshan. It was also a coincidence that a man who looked like an officer and soldier caught her attention. This man entered the gambling house wearing a money bag that he had embroidered for his father. More
Following her for days, Ranxiang exposed herself. If her current husband hadn't rescued her, she would have died long ago.
"You have all seen the appearance of that officer and soldier, but do you know his name? Did you confront him later?" Su Yan asked her.
Ranxiang shook her head helplessly: "The officers and soldiers were wearing clothes and hats when they came and went, and their faces could not be seen clearly. It was because of the saber exposed on his waist that I was sure that he was an officer and soldier."
"What happened next?"
"Later...then I got married to my husband." Two years later, when Xu Shu was collecting swill from the county government office, he accidentally overheard the county captain explaining things to his men. He heard some stories, and they were all about 'strange goods'.
', and said that the goods were not enough, so he went to catch them again. He didn't care at the time, but it was not until many people suddenly disappeared in a nearby village that Xu Shucai informed Ranxiang of the matter. All the clues were connected together, and Ranxiang became more and more suspicious.
I am sure that my father’s disappearance has something to do with the county government!
She thought of going to Kyoto to file a petition and immediately sold the incense shop. On the day of departure, seven or eight strong men suddenly appeared at home, led by that officer and soldier.
"The government officials have been keeping an eye on you to prevent you from going to Kyoto to file a petition?" Su Yan asked.
Ranxiang nodded and said: "In the next few years, whenever I thought about leaving Liangshan, they would warn me. At first, they were fine and polite, but later they became violent and injured my husband several times. After that,
We don’t dare to leave Liangshan even half a step further. We are just ordinary people, we can’t fight against the government, so we have to swallow our anger in order to survive!”
Su Yan gritted his teeth and punched his leg, "In Liangshan County, such a shameless thing happened. Don't worry, I will definitely help you make the decision!"
Ranxiang looked at her expectantly: "Are you officials sent from Kyoto? Has there been evidence of the county magistrate's crime this time?"
Xilou was a little confused: "The county magistrate He Zhang died suddenly in the mansion. The county government has now changed its director. Why don't you file a complaint?"
Ranxiang was a little desperate: "It's not like the county magistrate is the only one who cares about people's lives. The entire county government is in a rage. How can the new county magistrate do it alone? If I go to complain again, I will really live longer!"
Su Yan suggested: "Why don't you tell me the appearance and characteristics of the officer and soldier, and I will check it for you!"
"Are you really officials sent from Kyoto?"
Su Yan didn't know how to answer. If he said he was an official, he would have to show the Ministry of Punishment badge, which would be too conspicuous. If he said he was not, I'm afraid Ranxiang's new hope would be shattered again. When he was struggling with no other way, Xilou came to the rescue.
Said: "It is inconvenient to reveal my identity during this unannounced visit. Don't worry, your father is missing and we will definitely track it down to the end. However... there is no evidence, which makes the progress of this case extremely slow. That's why we paid a visit in the hope of collecting some information."
Useful information.”
Although Ranxiang is just a woman in a small town, she grew up by her father's side and has been exposed to many ways of doing business. She is somewhat smarter than ordinary people. She immediately returned to the house and took out a yellowed portrait from time to time. She was excited.
He said: "I was afraid of forgetting this person's appearance, so I drew it. After so many years, I don't know if he has changed much."
Xilou put away the portrait and asked some questions about his father's characteristics, and then the two left the place.
Liangshan County Government Office, inside the magistrate's room.
Sheng Nanping, who had already put on a human skin mask and wore official robes, took a glance at the portrait and recognized this person: "Isn't this Ajiu! He is from Ye County Lieutenant, but this person does not live in the county.
He lives in the suburbs."
"You recognized him after just one glance?" Xilou thought that Ranxiang had been following him for a long time, so he could only draw this portrait with only half of his face exposed. Sheng Nanping only took a glance, but it was too hasty.
Sheng Nanping was furious: "That's him! This Ajiu is very stupid. He is not as good at pleasing people as Ye Zhongyuan's other subordinates. He is often scolded, so I remember. But..."
"But what?"
"He stopped working the day after County Magistrate He died. If you look for him, I can't guarantee whether he is still at home."
Xilou and Su Yan exchanged glances and said in unison: "Take us there immediately!"
The three of them were about to go out, but the door suddenly opened, and they were greeted by the county lieutenant Ye Zhongyuan and the chief secretary Yang Quan. The leader, Ye Zhongyuan, saluted the three of them with a smile on his face: "I'm here to pay my respects to Mr. Chen and Mr. Wu.
I have failed to welcome you from afar, please forgive me!"
"This is Lieutenant Ye and Chief Yang," Sheng Nanping said with a smile, "Master Changsun didn't even send a letter, and the subordinates didn't prepare well. In the rush, even my two subordinates forgot to give them to me.
Introduce me, sir!"
Ye Zhongyuan bowed his hands deeply again: "I'm a low-ranking official and I was rude. I didn't know that the three adults were going out, but they still came to bother me. Please forgive me!"
Your words made Xilou want to laugh. He waved his hand and said to him: "Ye County Lieutenant does not need to blame himself. Although I am here, I am appointed by Lord Changsun, but the cases investigated are just old cases."
That’s all, if the Ministry of Punishment hadn’t suddenly received the complaint, we wouldn’t have come to this remote place, so why bother?”
Ye Zhongyuan looked sideways at Yang Quan, with a hint of embarrassment on his face.
"But... I think you still have some interesting places here. Why don't I just go for a walk, check out the public sentiment, and go back to work on business." Xilou turned around and told Sheng Nanping: "Please ask Magistrate Sheng to lead the way.
Already."
"Yes, yes, yes!" Sheng Nanping trotted out the door diligently, stretched out his arms, and his face was rosy and shiny. He thought to himself: These two bastards are still trying to talk to each other. No, they are going to have a hard time!
Just as they were feeling proud, the three of them had not gone far when they heard Yang Quan's voice behind them: "You two adults, stay here!" As soon as the words fell, Yang Quan had already blocked the way and started laughing with a cruel look on his face.
"What you two gentlemen are talking about is exactly what the two adults are saying. Liangshan is a remote and poor country. However, we are stuck here and cannot go to see the bustling Kyoto. However, we have also heard some anecdotes from the former county magistrate. It is said that there was a girl from Qishan Academy.
Sir, what's your name... Oh, Su Yan, this woman's reputation is great! Even in Liangshan, some people talk about this woman's experience. The two adults work in the Ministry of Punishment, so they must also know something about this Su Yan.
How do you look, sir? What is your family background? If you have the opportunity to go to Kyoto after you are promoted to official position, you must pay a visit!"
Su Yan had kept silent in order to speak less and avoid being discovered. At this time, someone suddenly became curious about his image. Of course, he could no longer pretend to be deaf and dumb, and then said: "Mr. Su from Shuyoutang is naturally a girl's middle school student."
She is a hero and has helped the Criminal Department to solve strange cases many times. Lord Changsun has never been stingy in his praise for her. As for her appearance...it seems to have nothing to do with this Lord, right?"
Yang Quan didn't expect that this young man had a bad temper. He was a little overwhelmed for a while and apologized repeatedly: "It's just that the lower official is superficial."
"What a place Qishan Academy is, and what kind of status Mr. Sitang is, all the children of the aristocratic family know how to respect him. Chief Yang is also a local official after all, so he has to be cautious in his words. Even if he is not a gentleman of Kyoto Academy, even if he is an ordinary
Woman, you shouldn’t comment on a woman’s appearance. We in Rong State value etiquette the most, so please respect yourself, Master Yang!”
Yang Quan blushed after being scolded and did not dare to say anything. Sheng Nanping did not forget to remind him: "Master Yang is young and energetic after all. He still needs to learn more from Ye County Lieutenant."
After bidding farewell to the three people, Yang Quan finally breathed a sigh of relief and complained: "This doesn't look like the person in the painting. Do you think Mr. Mo made a mistake? That Xilou and Su Yan did not come to Liangshan?"
"I don't care, just keep an eye on him first." Ye Zhongyuan bumped Yang Quan with his shoulder, "They said they were here to investigate an old case, but it couldn't be..."
Yang Quan suddenly looked horrified: "Missing?"
Ye Zhongyuan thought about it for a long time, and always felt that these two people came to Liangshan at this juncture. Even if they were not the two troublesome people that Lord Mo said, they were definitely not good people. At the moment, except for the prince...
"It can't be the prince's, right?" Ye Zhongyuan muttered to himself. Yang Quan heard this and suddenly became enlightened and said to him, "It must be the prince! Think about it, why Zuo Qing betrayed Mr. Mo? It's nothing more than
I stand in the ranks of the prince and work for the Lord!"
Ye Zhongyuan nodded in agreement. This matter may be getting more and more troublesome.
When Su Yan and the other three arrived, Ajiu was anxiously pacing beside the pile of luggage. There were four people in the yard, old and young. A pair of old men had pulled faces, the woman had a sad face, and the younger one had a blank look on his face.
.Looking at this posture, he wanted to leave but couldn't because he was held back by this big family.
Seeing Sheng Nanping, Ajiu instantly became nervous and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, "I've seen the magistrate before!"
Sheng Nanping had been a county magistrate for a few days, and he had learned a bit about the magistrate's posture and majesty. He coughed twice, narrowed his eyes and looked around the yard, then said, "I wonder where you are going in such a hurry?"
Ajiu replied: "I want to take my whole family to Kyoto. I heard that business is good there. I want to make a fortune."
"Business?" Sheng Nanping sneered, "I guess who are you going to join?"
"Don't dare!"
"When you left, Lieutenant Ye County lost an arm. Before leaving, did you go and say goodbye to him?"
When Ajiu heard Ye Zhongyuan's name, he couldn't help but look panicked. Sheng Nanping snorted coldly: "Why don't you tell me honestly, what did you hide when you suddenly resigned the day after the sudden death of the county magistrate?"
Ajiu kowtowed and explained: "I really just went to Kyoto to do business. I didn't lie to you!"
"These two men were sent by the Ministry of Punishment to investigate long-standing cases. Before they even set off, Magistrate He died. Is it too coincidental that you suddenly resigned the next day? Tell me honestly, Magistrate He
Does his death have anything to do with you?"
"This...this...is definitely not the work of a villain!" Ajiu was so frightened that he could not speak.
When Sheng Nanping saw that he was so stubborn, he had no choice but to ask for help from the people around him. Xilou had long expected that Ajiu would have such an attitude and had no intention of talking nonsense with him. He directly showed him the portrait: "You
Look up, is the person in this portrait you?"
Ajiu was horrified when he saw the painting, and he stumbled and asked where the painting came from.
"Seven years ago, Li Wenji, the owner of the spice shop, disappeared. His daughter Ranxiang went to the county government to report the case, but nothing happened in the end. This portrait was painted by his daughter. She saw you holding her father's money bag. Please be honest.
Tell me, was it you who caused Li Wenji's disappearance? Who was behind you?"
"Although the person in this painting is somewhat similar to me, he is definitely not a villain. You can see that clearly!"
Even though Xilou mentioned this, Ajiu still refused to explain. After a while of silence, a cry suddenly came from the voice. It was Ajiu's daughter. Su Yan hurried over to protect the child and said to Xilou: "It's my father's fault.
If you don't want to harm your parents, wife and children, you should stay away!" After that, he led the family back into the house.
Xilou followed the trend: "You are a filial son, why don't you think about your family and really want to be a scapegoat? You must have felt something about He Zhang's death, but even if you escaped to the ends of the world, do you think those people
Will I let you go? Skynet is still there, where can you escape to?"
"The villain and his family are all innocent. Sir, please save their lives!" Ajiu's defense line finally broke.
Xilou raised the corner of his mouth with joy: "You can teach me."
Ajiu explained: "During the decades that County Magistrate He has been in office, he has been doing things for his superiors. As for who his superiors are, I don't know and dare not ask. I only know that there are three adults in the county government, Yang Quan, the county clerk, and Yang Quan, the county magistrate.
Lieutenant Ye Zhongyuan and the county magistrate, the three of them are doing a big thing, which is to dig mountains! Those missing people were all arrested by us, specially to take them to the back mountains to work as coolies. In addition to me, there is Rong Jin, he and I are both
One is Lieutenant Ye’s subordinate, and the other is Chief Yang’s subordinate, named Yu Mu. What we have to do is to keep wandering around Liangshan, specifically catching homeless people or nearby refugees.
Most people don’t have family members, and no one will care if they are arrested.”
"But seven years ago, Ye County Lieutenant suddenly asked us to arrest people late at night. He said that the more people, the better, and we would arrest them as soon as they were singled out. I didn't dare to ask more questions. I only asked Rong Jin privately. He said that he was digging mountains.
When it collapsed, many people died, so I rushed to make up for it. I was forced to have no choice, so I focused on Li Wenji and knocked him out when no one was around. That money bag was also mine.
Stolen."
"From what you're saying, you haven't seen the place where the mountain was dug with your own eyes?" Xilou asked.
Ajiu nodded: "I can't speak, I only know how to work, so I am not reused by the county captain. I am just a coolie. Naturally, I have no chance to get close to the place in the back mountain. If you want to know more, just ask Rong Jinhe
Yu Mu, they are the ones who know the most."
"Where do they live?"
"Yu Mu has no fixed abode and is alone. I can't tell where he lives, but Rong Jin lives in Chunxiangyuan, so he must be there!"
"Chunxiangyuan..." Xilou frowned, "brothel?"
"Exactly," Ajiu pointed to the front left and said, "He rented a room there and used it as his residence."
When they arrived at Chunxiang Courtyard, it was already dark and the alley was dark. Only the two lanterns hanging on the courtyard door were lit. There were very few prostitutes and the courtyard was deserted. Su Yan couldn't help but compare Yunlai Pavilion with it.
There is no difference between heaven and earth!
The old bustard thought that these hard days had finally brought hope, so he rushed to greet him. Unexpectedly, Sheng Nanping showed his county magistrate badge as soon as he arrived, and opened his mouth to arrest people. The old bustard was so frightened that he screamed repeatedly, and almost killed him.
He brought out his sad history. Just as he was being pestered by the madam, a figure suddenly flashed past the west side of the lobby. Xilou immediately flew towards him, but he was still a step too late. At this time, Su Yan shouted: "He is in the kitchen!
"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a series of ping-ping-pong-pong sounds. Xilou picked up a nearby bench and kicked it over. Because he used all his strength, the bench broke through the kitchen door like a broken bamboo. Only a howl was heard.
He yelled, and several cooks rushed out. Immediately afterwards, Rong Jin stumbled out with blood on his face, and collapsed on the ground with a plop, covering his wounds and wailing.
Xilou went over and picked him up: "Your martial arts are pretty good, but I just missed you. I wonder if your muscles are pretty good too."
He suddenly stopped howling and looked at Xilou in shock: "What do you want to do?"
Xilou smiled strangely, pressed him against the wall, and looked him up and down: "You have a good body, if you use torture, I have to think carefully about which one to use..."
Su Yan suddenly remembered the ten tortures of the prison that his master had told him, and suggested: "Why don't we use pipa torture! Pass two iron hooks through the pipa bone, hang it high on a wooden frame, and then pour molten iron on it.
The molten iron is cold and solidified, and the iron hook melts with the molten iron. You can't take it off even if you die, it's like an iron shield, life is worse than death!"
The madam on the side twisted her face when she heard this, and subconsciously distanced herself from Su Yan.
Xilou said seriously: "This method is good, then I will listen to you. I will take him back to the county government office and ask Magistrate Sheng to prepare the torture instruments!"
"We have all the instruments of torture. We have whatever you want. I am at your disposal for all my humble duties!" Sheng Nanping stood aside as if watching a show and said with a playful smile.
"Wait!" Rong Jin clung to the wall and looked at the west building. He found that the man's eyes were filled with murderous intent, so he did not dare to negotiate with him, so he said to Zhu Gou'er again: "Your Excellency, the county magistrate is aware of this.
People are serious about their careers and work hard for the county government. You... you suddenly arrested me and wanted to torture me. Why? There must be a reason!"
Sheng Nanping said: "You ran away so fast, do you still need me to tell you the reason? Be sensible and do it yourself. Your brother has already done it."
Rong Jin was stunned for a moment. When he understood, his expression suddenly changed. He spat and cursed: "You are a greedy bitch who is afraid of death. I knew he would betray us!" After cursing, he cursed the county magistrate again,
"You have only been in office for a few days, how dare you not take Ye County Lieutenant and Chief Yang seriously? You are just a temporary replacement. Sooner or later, Ye County Lieutenant will write to the superiors to remove you and replace you with an obedient one.
Come! Just wait, your good days are numbered!"
Xilou didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, so he raised his neck and left Chunxiangyuan, no matter how he yelled and threatened, he was indifferent.
On the way, the three of them were divided into two groups. Su Yan from the West Building escorted him into the back mountain and went straight to the lair. Sheng Nanping returned to the county government office, firstly to prevent Ye Zhongyuan and Yang Quan from discovering the clues, and to find a way to kill him if there was a chance.
The two took it. The second was to arrange the troops and wait for the news from the two people in the west building, so that they could be ready to respond at any time.
