Fang Tianbao's confidant bought some time for Fang La, allowing his family to make many twists and turns before entering a spacious cave. With the help of two strong men, the family of three boarded the boat parked in the underground river.
a ship.
The boat went upstream along the underground river, passed through secret and narrow cave entrances and alleys, and came to a roundabout. A strong man got off the boat and inserted a torch into the mountain wall, and the dancing firelight illuminated the place.
Half light and half dark.
I vaguely saw that this place is very spacious and can accommodate two to three hundred people. Two torches cannot illuminate the entire place, and every corner is shrouded in darkness, which is scary.
"Father, mother, I'm afraid!" Fang Bo looked into the dark distance, hugged Shao's hand tightly, and said timidly.
"Second brother, don't be afraid. We are already at the back of Bangyuan Cave. Follow a cave and you will reach the boundary of Shezhou and the south bank of Xin'an River."
"The south bank of Xin'an River?" Shaw asked in surprise. Bangyuan Cave is obviously on the north bank of Xin'an River.
"That's right, the underground river we crossed by boat just now actually passes under the Xin'an River. It is very magical. The officers and soldiers must have never imagined it. They will only stop and search everywhere north of the Xin'an River, absolutely
I never thought of coming to the south bank."
Fang La said with a bit of pride.
One strongman was scouting the way in front, one was in the rear, and Fang La's family of three were in the middle, walking towards the exit cave. Fang La's foot tripped on a stone on the way, and he almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, the strongman behind held him.
he.
"Officer, are you okay?" Shao asked worriedly.
"It's okay, I just stumbled a bit. You and my second brother go first, I'll take a break and follow after my feet calm down."
Shao wanted to say something else, but when he saw the dark cave, he turned around and said, "Okay, officer, my second brother and I are waiting for you in front."
After resting for more than ten breaths, Fang La felt that his feet were not so painful anymore, so he continued to walk forward with the help of Lux. After a dozen steps, he saw the backs of the Shao family and the exit.
bright light.
Suddenly, several people came out from the side. The leader stabbed Shao's chest with a knife, pulled it out and stabbed it several times. Then he snatched the baggage that Shao was carrying.
The other two people surrounded the strong man who came forward and stabbed him randomly, knocking him to the ground. Fang Bo was left alone, crying in fear.
"Who! Who!" Fang La almost went crazy. He threw away the strongman's support, picked up the knife and ran forward.
At this time, the man who killed Shao turned around, and under the light of the dancing torch, Fang La saw that it was his nephew Fang Tianbao.
He put the bloody bundle on his back, turned his hand and pulled Fang Bo over, looking at Fang La with a sinister sneer.
"No! Please! No!" Fang La shouted crazily as he ran.
Fang Tianbao raised his head with a kind of crazy joy on his face. He held Fang Bo's head with one hand and cut his throat with a knife in the other.
Fang Bo struggled and fluttered in his hand, making a cooing sound, like a chicken with its neck broken.
Finally, the strongman roared and rushed forward, trying to cut Fang Tianbao into pieces. However, he was intercepted by two of Fang Tianbao's followers and they fought together.
Soon, the strongman sacrificed his own life to kill one of his followers and seriously injured another.
Fang La stared at Fang Tianbao, clenching his hands tightly, trembling all over, his eyes gleaming with hatred, wishing he could eat his flesh alive.
Fang Tianbao threw the lifeless Fang Bo to the ground and sneered: "Killing your relatives, you are in so much pain. Other people's relatives died for you and were killed by you. At that time, I don't know how you felt about others.
Is it painful?”
"Fang Tianbao, I will cut you into pieces!" Fang La said through gritted teeth.
"Haha, you are alone. I have two people hiding outside. Just say hello and they will come in. Three against one. My uncle, you have no chance of winning." Fang Tianbao said with a sneer, like a cat teasing a mouse.
.
"How did you find this place?"
"Haha, you asked me to be responsible for building this place. I stayed here for two months and it was not wasted. I finally found this shortcut."
"Why...why do you do this!" Fang La asked through gritted teeth.
"Why? Haha! Why? I'm not a madman! I won't sacrifice my life for any of your ambitions! A lacquer garden owner, a leader with thousands of followers, actually dreams of conquering thousands of miles of land and establishing an eternal foundation?
I only want the Fang family’s property and wealth, that’s mine!”
Fang Tianbao said viciously: "These all belong to my father! He is the eldest son, your brother! When you were well-dressed and well-fed, he was working hard outside; when you were eating and opening your mouth, he was fighting with others. Does the Fang family's property have anything to do with it?
He earned it with his blood and sweat. But because he is a concubine, he should work like a cow or a horse. You are the legitimate son, so you can enjoy it! Is this fair? I don't accept it!"
"You are so brazen that you want to eradicate the injustice in this world! Bullshit, it is unfair for you to be in the position. If you want to eradicate it, you must be eradicated first. What kind of Holy Duke? In my eyes, he is just a turtle!"
The more Fang Tianbao talked, the more excited he became, as if he had transformed into a religious leader and was preaching to thousands of believers. He had no idea that there were hundreds of figures walking on the road leading to Fang Lai.
"You poisonous snake and wolf, why didn't I see it earlier!" Fang La suddenly relaxed, and his scolding tone also relaxed.
Fang Tianbao thought he had accepted his fate and was even more proud.
"Haha, you can see it now. Is there a missionary token in aunt's bag? With it, as your nephew, I can gather the believers in Nanhai and Minhai and create another career
Come on. Uncle, you can’t be too partial. If you leave any good things to your cousin, you will be punished. Do you think this is coming without retribution? "
"Both of us will suffer retribution." Fang La said coldly. Then a dozen people rushed out from behind him and shouted at Fang Tianbao: "Don't run! If you dare to run, shoot and kill him!"
Fang Tianbao subconsciously turned around and ran away. The men immediately opened fire with a loud bang, and two lead bullets hit him directly in the arm and shoulder.
Seeing that the visitor kept his promise, Fang Tianbao had no choice but to stop, squat on the ground and surrender.
He endured the pain and gasped, and said to Fang La: "Uncle, why are you doing this? If you had told us that there were pursuers, we would have just escaped together."
Fang La sneered and said: "I felt someone following me on the boat just now. When you killed your aunt and brother, I heard the movement behind you and knew that there was a pursuer coming. In this case, why not die. I
I have to go to Kaifeng Zhi Street to be cut to pieces by a thousand cuts, so just go with me!"
Listening to the sound of his uncle gnashing his teeth, Fang Tianbao couldn't help feeling panicked.
At this time, Wu Jie came forward with a torch, took a photo in front of Fang La and Fang Tianbao, and said happily: "Fifth brother, we caught it! It's Fang La, and there's a partner, his nephew Fang Tianbao!"
Walking out of the entrance of the secret passage, you are right on the mountainside of Qianyuan Mountain. In the distance are the continuous mountains belonging to Quzhou, and nearby is the Xin'an River, which is like a brocade winding in the dark blue mountains.
Thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, picturesque and poetic!
Wu Jie and Han Shizhong looked at the beautiful scenery in front of them and were fascinated for a while.
"Sir, we captured four people. One of them said he was a painter from Hongwenyuan Danqing Painting Academy, and the other three were his followers and assistants."
"Painters from the Danqing Painting Academy, what are you doing here?" Han Shizhong and Wu Jie looked at each other.
"I don't know, but my documents have been checked and there's no problem."
"Please come here." Han Shizhong said.
"I, Wang Ximeng, an intern painter at Danqing Painting Academy, have met two officers." A young man of seventeen or eighteen years old said with cupped hands.
Such a young painter?
"This is the war zone for bandit suppression in western Zhejiang. Why did Painter Wang come here?"
"I lost my way for a while and came here." Wang Ximeng said kindly. "We originally planned to go south along Xin'anjiang and Zhejiang to see the mountains and rivers. Unexpectedly, She County was told that the front was blocked. So we wanted to change our route to Wuyuan.
, don’t want to get lost.”
"Oh, Painter Wang is running around, does he have any mission?" Han Shizhong asked.
Previously, people from the Surveying and Mapping Bureau of the Ministry of War were running around surveying terrain and drawing maps, and there were many painting masters among them.
"The boy was arrogant and wanted to paint a picture of "Thousands of Miles of Rivers and Mountains", but somehow it reached the ears of the officials. The officials found the boy and said that the country of the Song Dynasty was more than ten thousand miles away, and "Thousands of Miles of Rivers and Mountains" was too petty, so they asked me to just paint one
"Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains". He also said that seeing is believing, so he asked Yousi to write a document for the boy, and also assigned two assistants and followers to help the boy travel all over the country, and he must draw a picture depicting the magnificent mountains and rivers of the Song Dynasty.
The painting is here."
"Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains"?
After listening to this, Han Shizhong and Wu Jie looked at the boundless and picturesque mountains and rivers of the Song Dynasty in front of them, and said with emotion: "Yes, it must be "The Picture of Rivers and Mountains of Ten Thousand Miles" to be worthy of our magnificent Song Dynasty."
