Chapter 258: The Suspicious Cloud of the Post Station (II)

After a while, Fu Bi took two soldiers to carry a ladder and quietly came to the outside of the wall, the ladder leaned against the wall, Fu Bi picked up his cloak and stepped up, Su Jin stopped him and said: "Don't, I'll come, your cloak is silver and dazzling, too eye-catching, since those people are coming at night, maybe they are wearing the same as me, and the dark cloak is more suitable for the actual situation." ”

Fu Bi said: "It's better to call the brothers, don't fall off your little body, how can I explain." ”

Su Jin rolled his eyes, and had to call a soldier to explain a few words softly, and the soldier immediately got up the ladder lightly, slowly climbed to the wall, and stretched his head slightly when he approached the wall, and then shrank down, doing quite well.

There was no sound on the stone tower, and it seemed that it was not noticed; The soldier looked back at Su Jin and asked for his instructions; Su Jin gestured twice, and made a gesture of climbing up the wall and pulling up the ladder; The soldier nodded, and climbed the wall lightly, standing still, still silent on the stone tower.

Fu Bi's face was anxious and he opened his mouth to talk to Su Jin, Su Jin reached out and pressed his lips to make a silent gesture, listening attentively; Hearing the sound of 'jumping' on the stone tower in the distance, Fu Bi and Yan Biyun were stunned, and suddenly heard Su Jin shouting: "Come down!" ”

The soldier on the wall was stunned, and his body slid down the ladder like a slide, and at that moment, a feathered arrow flew diagonally above his head, and disappeared into the open space outside the wall, and the wings fluttered and buzzed.

At the same time, there was a loud shout on the wall: "What person? Dare to break into the official post of the imperial court, the patrol team, and quickly go to the courtyard to get people. ”

There was a commotion in the post station, and the sound of footsteps was heard, and the post guard patrol alarmed the personal guard patrol, and suddenly a crowd of people turned on their backs.

Su Jin said loudly: "It turns out that the vision on the stone tower can be completely discovered. The man of the wall, it's time to report to your lordship, and take these postmen to ask. ”

Fu Bi said loudly: "Go back to the post station quickly to prevent chaos." ”

The three of them quickly returned to the gate of the post station, there was a commotion in front of them, more than a dozen post guards holding torches were blocked at the door by forty or fifty Yan Shu's personal guards, the post guards wanted to go out to get people, and the personal guards were told by Fu Bi that no one was allowed to leave the gate, and the two sides quarreled endlessly.

Fu Bi shouted: "Take them down and seize their blades." ”

The guards rushed up, dividing the blades of all the post guards by dividing them by two, and the post guards were confused and shouted, "My lord, what does this mean? We're here to wait, and even if we quarrel with them, we won't take our blades. ”

Fu Bi shouted: "Don't make noise! You can be aggrieved for the time being, stay in the courtyard obediently and don't move, there will only be a division later, the figures on the wall are a few of us, and you don't have to worry about someone coming in. ”

The two monks of the post guards were puzzled, so they had to sit by the fire under the coercion of the Pu Dao, and a cadre of guards raised their knives to watch, Fu Bi quickly came to the backyard, while sending people to take all the post guards and post generals to the front yard, and personally went to Yan Shu's room to report.

Yan Shu had already fallen asleep, suddenly there was a noise, and someone asked what was going on, and Fu Bi, who came in a hurry, quickly reported the situation, Yan Shu quickly got up, and followed Fu Bi to the front yard of the post station.

"Where's the general?" Yan Shu's majestic way.

A middle-aged man in his forties raised his hand and said, "My lord, it's down there." ”

"What's your name, who's your name?"

"In Xia Liu Youlun, it is the Zhecheng people's clan."

"Liu Youlun, are you guilty?"

“…… So, where do you start? Liu Youlun said aggrievedly: "I was patrolling the corridor of the back house with my brothers, and I heard the brothers on the stone tower say that there were people on the wall, and they just rushed out with people to prepare to take people, and they were ordered by the rich man to hand over the blades, and they were ......."

"Shut up, is this official asking about this incident, but the case that happened in Niutouyi nine days ago, the predecessor Ying Tianfu Yin Tangjie was killed in your post station, along with more than a dozen personal guards escorted by the old man, but is there such a thing?"

"This ...... My lord, I was wronged, this was not done by the little ones, the incident happened suddenly without warning that day, I didn't know that Lord Tang was killed, and the miscellaneous servants went to wake them up in the morning, only to find that all sixteen people in a courtyard were dead, and we were wronged. ”

Yan Shu paced with his hands in his hands, his eyes fixed on the general's expression, and said, "Don't you have patrol posts and lookout posts on the stone tower?" How come a dozen people died in the inn, but they were unconscious? ”

"This ......" Liu Youlun's expression was extremely unnatural, and he refused to speak out, and all the post guards also shrank their heads, looked at each other with a panicked expression.

Fu Bi shouted: "What is this, that, the adults are asking you something, and I will answer." ”

Liu Youlun's body shook and he snorted: "Thief...... Thieves come and go like the wind, and we can't detect it, which is also unthinkable. ”

Su Jin stepped forward and smiled: "Come and go like the wind? As soon as we went up to the wall, your tower whistle found it, and shouted with a bow, why did it come and go like the wind that night, and could not be noticed? ”

Liu Youlun's body trembled and he was speechless; Fu Bi sneered: "It seems that if I don't give you some color to see, you won't tell the truth, come on, tie them all, take a whip, pick off your shirt and give each person a thirty whip." ”

The guards roared, like wolves and tigers, and used ropes to tie up the post guards and miscellaneous servants all tied up a boar and hoofs, someone had already taken a cowhide whip over, and the two big men took the whip and dipped it in the basin with water, shaking the tendon meat, and grabbed Liu Youlun, stabbing and stabbing two handfuls to tear off the clothes on the upper body, revealing the meat.

A big man spat two mouthfuls of spit in the palm of his hand and rubbed it and sneered: "The straight lady thief, she has raised a body of white meat, and this whip will be whipped later, that is called a special one." ”

Su Jin smiled: "This big brother, what is the matter?" ”

"Hey, our jargon calls it a little red plum blossom in the snow. This kind of person with fine skin and white flesh is the best metaphor. ”

Su Jin rolled his eyes, the mother's executioner had so many words, and he gave such a poetic name, which really made people laugh and cry.

The executioner lifted the whip, the void shook twice, and the tip of the whip made a snapping sound, which sounded very terrible, and after shaking it off the fancy, it was raised high and fell down on Liu Youlun's body.

Liu Youlun shouted in horror: "Don't fight, don't fight, I said it!" Brothers, blame me. ”

The whip stopped in mid-air, and the executioner smacked him and said: "Cheap billet, you have to beat it before you say it, waste all the work of Lao Tzu, like you, do you still have work?" ”

Yan Shu snorted and said, "Xiongda Xiongji, you guys stand down." ”

The two of them hummed and stepped aside, and Yan Shu walked up to Liu Youlun and shouted, "Say, what happened that day?" Where were you when the strongman killed? ”

Liu Youlun lay on the ground and gasped, muttering in his mouth: "I said, my lord spared us, we are also unintentional." ”

Fu Bi scolded: "What nonsense, why don't you say it quickly?" ”

Su Jin leaned into Yan Shu's ear and whispered: "Mention it in the hall for questioning, and it is good to record the confession, in addition, it seems that this matter not only involves him, in front of everyone, I am afraid that I can't say enough." ”

Yan Shu nodded and said, "Pull in for questioning, and all the others are detained here waiting for questioning." ”

Liu Youlun was half-dragged and half-carried by his own soldiers into the hall, and as soon as the door of the hall was closed, the noise of the outside world was suddenly cut off.

"Say, be happy, you are happy, the official is happy, you can't hide this." Yan Shu said lightly.

"I say, I say." Liu Youlun kowtowed like pounding garlic, "I said it all." ”

"What happened that night?"

"That evening, more than a dozen soldiers with a person came to the post station for the night, the villain waited for them to show the fire card to confirm and then arranged them in the northeast corner of the T-shaped courtyard according to the rules, several soldiers told the villain, they escorted a big official, so they could not leave, I waited for food and water to go in, the little one knew, according to the rules should be so, so they agreed."

"Later, Chen Xiaoer secretly came to me and said......"

"Who is Chen Xiaoer?" Yan Shu asked sharply.

"Lord Hui, it's a post guard under Xiao's subordinates, and he's guarding outside."

"Hmm...... Go on. ”

"Chen Xiaoer came and secretly told me that the person who escorted him was a bit like Lord Tang of Yingtianfu; Of course I don't believe it, scolding him for being a fool, Lord Tang was promoted to his post, how could he be as ...... as being escorted to Beijing, then Chen Xiaoer swore that it was the prefect of Tang, and said that he went to Yingtian to watch the dragon boat during the Dragon Boat Festival, and Lord Tang also took the stage to hang the green, and said a lot of things; said that he squeezed into the audience at that time to see it clearly. ”

"The villain will be suspicious, but I think in my heart, we don't have to ask too much about being an official, we are good at running errands, and we are good at getting paid, but we don't pay too much attention to it."

Yan Shu pondered and asked, "Then why did the strongman come again?" Where were you when the strongman came? ”

"Lord Qiyu, the little one hasn't said anywhere yet, can you give the little one a sip of water to drink?"

Fu Bi was angry, and he was about to kick him when he lifted his foot, but Yan Shu waved his hand to stop him: "Give him tea to drink, drink it and talk slowly, anyway, the night is still long." ”

The master put down the pen and handed a cup of herbal tea to Liu Youlun, Liu Youlun thought that his mouth was dry because he was afraid, so he drank the tea dry, licked his lips and said, "Thank you, sir." ”

Yan Shu said: "No need, keep talking." ”
