Yun Zhao waited until his two uneasy women came back before he felt relieved.

This assassination was not as simple as Qian Duoduo thought.

The number of people involved and the wide range of involvement are not something that money can predict.

After reading the documents sent by Qian Shaoshao, Yun Zhao realized that he had become a public enemy of the Ming Dynasty.

Anyone who has the ability to dispatch assassins will send out assassins.

The assassins Feng Ying met in the lotus pond were only a trivial part, and more assassins were ambushed on the roads between Yushan City and Chang'an. They not only had muskets, crossbow arrows, but also gunpowder, but also the strong gunpowder produced by the real Yun family.

What Qian Duoduo and Feng Ying didn't know was that the road they took had been sent by Qian Shaoshao to check it out almost every inch. Where they thought there were no people, there were actually people in the Yun family's black-clothed people hidden.

They didn't even know that this storm had caused twenty-two ordinary Lantian people to be killed by the assassins.

This is almost inevitable.

A small move by a big man will cause a small man to be killed or injured.

Qian Shaoshao was furious about this.

In just nine days, he caught 211 secret spies from Lantian County and even Guanzhong.

Mao Pijiang struggled to wake up in the morning, and the moment he saw the sun, he wanted to commit suicide again!

When he saw the Chaoyang, he was always ambitious. Now when he saw the Chaoyang, he realized that the day he was used as a big animal was about to begin again.

Every moment of the new day requires him to sacrifice his life to deal with it.

He raised a bucket of water from the well, and he looked at the reflection in the bucket, and the haggard inside was so haggard that the humanoid person gave him enough strangeness, and he couldn't help but feel sad from it. In the past, the graceful and beautiful boy was no longer visible.

The horse chew on the mouth was finally removed, but the four of them had no intention of talking.

Today I was lucky, and no one urged them to get up and work when the sun was noon. Therefore, these four former young masters finally had a moment of leisure to think about why they had fallen to this point.

"We were betrayed."

Mao Pijiang is not a fool. When something happened, he knew that he had been betrayed.

"Who betrayed us?"

Chen Zhenhui asked in a deep and bitter buckwheat steamed bun.

Hou Fangyu whispered: "We shouldn't believe in prostitutes!"

Fang Yizhi said: "Kou Baimen and Gu Hengbo are all heroes among girls and will not betray us."

Hou Fangyu sneered: "You actually believe in these despicable women so much?"

Mao Pijiang looked up at Hou Fangyu and said, "You chose the assassination candidates. Don't you think they are more suspicious?"

Hou Fangyu wanted to defend himself, but finally lamented: "I have fallen to this point. Do you even have to doubt me?"

Chen Zhenhui and Hou Fangyu were most blind dated on weekdays. Seeing Fang Yizhi and Mao Pijiang were targeting Hou Fangyu, he waved his hand and said, "Don't have internal strife. At this time, we can only overcome 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 joints in it. At this moment, we are trapped here, and my father should have known that if you ask Mr. Zuo to relax your cheeks for us, there may be a glimmer of hope."

Fang Yizhi sneered.

"The beautiful young man of Zuo Liangyu was taken to the head by Yun Zhao, and he didn't see Zuo Liangyu doing anything to Yun Zhao."

Hou Fangyu said furiously: "Since that's the case, we'll wait for death!"

At some point, the four of them stopped quarreling, and Mao Pijiang finally said: "We should work hard to survive. No matter which one can return to Jiangnan, we should hold up the banner of restoration and fight with traitors like Yun Zhao to the end!"

Chen Zhenhui, Fang Yizhi lamented without saying a word, only Hou Fangyu's eyes flashed, as if he was thinking.

They were really lucky today, and no one came to drive them out to work until noon.

The four of them lie on the haystacks and slept in the sun.

When people yelled, the sun was already westward.

Each of them sent a hoe and was led to a ravine.

The handsome boy who tortured them on the first day was also there. But this time, this devil-like handsome boy sat on a wooden platform wearing a scarlet cloak.

And under the wooden platform... there were hundreds of headless corpses standing upside down.

In fact, their heads are still there, but they are just hung up.

The valley was full of blood, and the killing was still going on.

The four of them were pushed into a big pit by the strong man and ordered them to continue digging...

The prisoner's mourning, crying, screaming sounds were heard before his death.

Apart from digging a hole, the four of them couldn't remember anything in their heads.

After another scream, the upper part finally became quiet. Soon, a headless corpse was thrown into a deep pit.

Without anyone's instructions, Mao Pijiang and the other four buried the corpse as fast as possible. Soon, another corpse was thrown down and they continued to bury it...

I don’t know how long it took to work, but the four people who were originally in the pit slowly stood on the ground on the layers of corpses that had just been buried.

At this time, it was already a time for the stars in the sky.

Several bonfires were lit on the ground, and the men in black who had just killed people sat around the bonfire and drank and ate, and from time to time they joked at the pile of people.

Mao Pijiang's hair was standing up all over his body, and he seemed to hear the ghost chirping.

"You said that these more than 200 miscellaneous pieces were killed, and why are these four dog thieves still left? Are we really short of big animals to serve?"

"Yes, yes, when the little young master comes back, we will make such a suggestion. If you want to drag these four people back in the evening, you will trouble you..."

"That's right, as long as it is a dog thief who is not good for me, Lantian, he should be cut into pieces."

As the whispers of those people came, the four of them were cold all over, as if they were in an ice cellar.

"I am Hou Fangyu, the son of Hou Xun, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue of the Ming Dynasty. I ask to meet the Lantian County Master!"

Hou Fangyu shouted, asking Mao Pijiang, Chen Zhenhui, and Fang Yizhi to make a big soul.

Mao Pijiang covered Hou Fangyu's mouth and whispered: "Have you forgotten the old story of Wang Wenzhen, Zuo Liangyu, and Yang Sichang almost being killed in the whole family?"

Hou Fangyu couldn't listen at all. He broke free from Mao Pijiang like a mad tiger, rolled and crawled to the edge of the fire, and kowtowed repeatedly, "This matter has nothing to do with me, I was all bewitched by Mao Pijiang and Fang Yizhi."

The executioners who were drinking and eating looked indifferently at Hou Fangyu who kept kowtowing, then looked at Mao Pijiang, Chen Zhenhui, and Fang Yizhi, who were standing there in a daze, opened their mouths and exposed their mouths and laughed: "So, are they all big fish?"

Hou Fangyu hurriedly said: "Mao Pijiang and Fang Yizhi are both leaders of Jiangnan Fushe. This time they initiated the matter. They also colluded with famous prostitutes Kou Baimen, Gu Hengbo, Dong Xiaowan, Bian Yujing and others to prepare to kill Lantian County Zun.

You must report to the county magistrate quickly, otherwise it will be too late.”

The strong men nodded repeatedly, and two of the strong men quickly got up, rode on their horses and ran away.

Facing the executioners rushing over, Mao Pijiang closed his eyes in pain and said unwillingly to Chen Zhenhui, Fang Yizhi said: "I will die today. I will not blame others, I will only blame us for being blind."

Fang Yizhi, who had already made the right to kill him, laughed and said, "This person is not even as good as a prostitute!"

Chen Zhenhui, who had been tied up by the executioner, suddenly laughed and said, "He treats me well, and he didn't say that I am also the leader, haha, but I don't accept this favor."

Hou Fangyu watched the three of them be bound by others and passed by him like rice dumplings. His expression was hard to see. He moved forward in a daze and wanted to say sorry.

However, when these three people were carried by him, they turned their heads all over, and didn't even look at him.

"I'm asking for life... Do you know, Mao Xiang, you said in the morning that one of us needs to escape."

No matter how Hou Fangyu defended himself, the three of them 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 are not bad, so you don't need to tie it up, but you still have to be careful."

After saying that, he tightened the rope and rode his horse, allowing Hou Fangyu to stagger.

"Mao Pijiang, Fang Yizhi, Chen Zhenhui and the other two can still use it as long as they get rid of some of the bad habits of the old literati. As for that Hou Fangyu, let it go, even our old thieves in Lantian look down on this person.

Claiming that he is ashamed of this person."

Duan Guoren put a document on Yun Zhao's desk and said softly.

Yun Zhao opened the document and looked at it and said, "Why are the children of aristocratic families so unbearable?"

Xie Zhi whispered: "The Hou family is not a family. Their clan has only been from lowly to scholars for two generations. This requires continuous cultivation to gain the status today.

Such people have not yet developed the nobleness of the big family, and it is common for them to stand in line with the wind."

Han Lingshan said: "Since Mao, Fang and Chen have withstood the test of life and death, they should not continue to humiliate them. As for Hou Fangyu, we cannot stay for a long time. Let his father send 20,000 taels of silver, so take the person back."

Yun Zhao nodded and said, "That's it, but let Hou Fangyu go back first, and let this guy go back after he completely destroys the reputation of Mao, Fang and Chen in Jiangnan."

Xie Zhi nodded and said, "Leave these three people to me to deal with. They are all rare talents in Jiangnan. They were not used on the right path before. They needed someone to guide them to see the big world outside the well before they could repent."

Yun Zhao smiled and handed the document to Liu Cheng. After Liu Cheng used Yun Zhao's seal, he put the document again on Xie Zhi's table.

Xie Feng stroked the clerk and breathed a sigh of relief: "The treasure tree in Jiangnan sometimes grew yellow leaves, and I was overjoyed."

Han Lingshan smiled and said, "These four are already the most famous up-and-coming celebrities among the scholars in Jiangnan. If even they do not have the ambition to swallow the world, then the scholars in Jiangnan's desire to be at peace in a corner is obvious."

Duan Guoren smiled and said: They are not able to defend Jiangnan. Whether they face us, Li Hongji, Zhang Bingzhong, even if they are Jiannu, their mouths and pens are not enough to defend Jiangnan and rule with others."

Yun Zhao smiled and said, "I can order Zhou Guoping and others to be brave and diligent, and completely tear apart the connection between the people in Jiangnan and scholars. I think Hou Fangyu is a good breakthrough."
