[Bao Qingtian] Why is peace?

Where did most of the people in Xuzhou City go?

The three of Pang Yu are new faces, and it is not easy to gain the trust of the locals. What's more, there are two examples of imperial envoys in front of them. Wang Suzhen.

Wang Suzhen soon found out the reason from the people in the same village. It turned out that Yan Wushuang turned himself in and was tied up at Caishikou by Zhao Qiujie and his two brothers Wuhuada. Peerless!

This is really... appalling.

Wang Suzhen didn't know whether it was out of guilt, or simply because she wanted to do things for the Kaifeng Mansion, so she inquired more carefully. This time, she finally understood why Zhao Qiujie and Zhao Qiutang, two imperial envoys from Beijing, hated Yan Wushuang so much.

It turned out that on the way to Xuzhou, these two young princes were blocked and robbed by bandits under Yan Wushuang's hands. They almost lost the imperial purple gold hammer. Seeing it all made him feel humiliated.

So as soon as he arrived in Xuzhou, Zhao Qiujie immediately sent someone to arrest the bandit leader Yan Wushuang, wanting to avenge his kneeling.

Therefore, after they caught Yan Wushuang, they didn't open the court for trial, but directly tied him up, and they had to torture Yan Wushuang before they were willing to give Yan Wushuang a good time.

They had to wait for Yan Wushuang to be tortured for three days before beheading him.

When Wang Suzhen heard about this, she was almost terrified, and hurried back to tell Zhan Zhao and the others, her voice was crying: "What should I do, I...I told him to go back, I hurt him!"

"Don't panic, girl, can you find out what day is Yan Wushuang's torture?" Zhan Zhao asked.

"It's the second day, and there is another day tomorrow, but I heard that he has been beaten unconscious..." Wang Suzhen said with a shame on her face.

"Then your brother, have you been released?" Pang Yu asked.

"No..." Wang Suzhen shook her head in despair. Only now did she realize that she was too naive. In order to vent her anger, she not only failed to accomplish a good deed, but even harmed someone.

Bai Yutang frowned, "Then Chen Qian, the prefect of Xuzhou, didn't stop the two imperial envoys from doing this?"

Wang Suzhen really shed tears now: "Chen, Master Chen... I heard that he was also imprisoned for speaking for Yan Wushuang. The two young princes thought that he had colluded with Yan Wushuang, so let him be an official. !"

"It's ridiculous. They're just imperial envoys for relief, and they don't have the power to dismiss officials. How could Mr. Chen listen to them?" Pang Yu was puzzled.

Wang Suzhen sighed: "As soon as the two imperial envoys came, the arresters in the government office quickly turned to them and did not listen to your lord's command. What's more, the little prince still has a purple gold hammer in his hand. Whoever dares to defy them is tantamount to fighting against the emperor." How dare they refuse to listen? Besides, that Zijin Hammer is so strange that even someone as skilled in martial arts as Yan Wushuang would be seriously injured by it. If it weren't for that, the bandit leader would have escaped a long time ago..."

"What?" Pang Yuqi asked, "Isn't the Purple Gold Hammer just a decoration?"

"Of course not. I heard people say that the bandits under Yan Wushou came to rob the prisoners yesterday. Unexpectedly, after the little prince sacrificed the purple gold hammer, there was a thunderous sound at the point, and several people died on the spot. Personal!" Wang Suzhen said with fear and worry on her face, "Huang Daxian at the entrance of the village said that this purple gold hammer is a relic of the Taizu of the dynasty, and it is very spiritual. , it will become the most terrifying weapon in the world!"

"Some people believe in these superstitions?" Zhan Zhao asked with a smile.

Maybe that's really the case... Pang Yu thought to himself, isn't he himself a ghost who came back from the underworld?

Bai Yutang pondered for a moment, and then said: "It's hard to say whether it's the power of ghosts or gods. Just from Miss Wang's description, I think it's caused by delicate mechanisms, such as gunpowder."

Pang Yu suddenly came back to his senses: "You mean, there is... gunpowder in the Purple Gold Hammer?"

"It's a sunny day, where did the thunder come from, not to mention that it hasn't rained in Xuzhou for several months." Bai Yutang said, "As far as I know, this is the only thing that can make the sound of thunder."

Zhan Zhao said thoughtfully: "Although the weapons of the Taizu back then were miraculously handed down, most of them have deviated from their original appearance. But there is one thing that will not change, that is, these weapons can indeed increase combat power. The Taizu won the world on horseback, and the power of this weapon should be exerted on the battlefield. In this way, Bai Shaoxia's speculation is somewhat reasonable."

Pang Yu thought of something and asked Wang Suzhen: "By the way, Miss Wang, do you know which little prince is holding the purple gold hammer?"

"It's the younger one!" Wang Suzhen gritted her teeth, "These two brothers are more annoying than the other. It's not a good thing to be an elder brother's wine bag and a younger brother's bully!"

Pang Yu's face was a bit worried. He thought that with Zhao Qiutang's temperament, he was at most a bit of a dandy, and he would not do something too harmful. If it was said that his brother Zhao Qiujie did it, he would believe it more.

But now it seems that Zhao Qiutang has a purple gold hammer in his hand, and Wen Ke ordered Xuzhou officials to use gunpowder to kill people invisible. Isn't it invincible?No wonder what he did in Xuzhou became more and more outrageous and cruel.

I heard that even Zhao Qiujie had to submit to Zhao Qiutang, and Zhao Qiutang had to make the final decision on everything.

The method of torturing people must have been thought up by Zhao Qiujie, but it was Zhao Qiutang who made the final decision... It can only be said that after getting the Zijin Hammer, Zhao Qiutang has indeed changed, and even began to conform to the saying "the wicked are getting worse" as Huang Daxian at the village entrance said. statement.

Pang Yu was in a complicated mood.

But Wang Suzhen begged at this moment: "Three adults, you are all from Kaifeng Mansion, can you go and save Yan Wushuang? And my brother, and Lord Chen... But Yan Wushuang is dying soon, you should go and save Yan Wushuang first. Go save him, after all he is in such a mess because of me..."

Zhan Zhao comforted, "Don't worry, even if you don't tell us, we won't just sit back and watch them take human lives carelessly."

"Really? Thank you so much!" Wang Suzhen bowed again and again, smiling through tears, "As long as you save the man, you can do whatever you want me to do!"

"We don't need girls to be cows and horses. On the contrary, the court owes girls a lot." Zhan Zhao said, "It was a good family, but it was ruined by two imperial envoys. Confession."

But Wang Suzhen shook her head and said, "As long as my brother can come back safely, it doesn't matter whether I confess or not."

Since we want to save people, it is good to save one more person.If Yan Wushuang was rescued, and the two young princes turned their anger on Wang Kun and Chen Qian, they would be dangerous, so it is better to get them all out at once.

But now there are only three of them, and they still need to make a good plan.

Among the people present, Zhan Zhao had the highest martial arts. He was in charge of pulling Chen Qian and Wang Kun out of the prison and leading them to evacuate safely.

But Bai Yutang and Pang Yu went to Caishikou to rescue Yan Wushuang, because there were guards there day and night, and they still needed to recruit Yan Wushuang's men, so it was easy to cause chaos and rescue people smoothly.

After the agreement, Zhan Zhao acted alone, while Bai Yutang took Pang Yu to find Yan Wushuang's men.

This group of people is not difficult to find, they are very loyal to Yan Wushuang, and they will definitely lurk near Caishikou to observe the situation.So it didn't take Bai Yutang a lot of time to find the person, and after the analysis was well-founded, he quickly made the rest of the bandits stunned, picked up the guy and decided to fight Bai Wuye.

Pang Yu was also taken aback, he didn't expect Bai Yutang to have the aura of a bandit.

In the third watch, everything is quiet.

Pang Yu followed Bai Yutang and a few bandits into the alley closest to Caishikou.Following Bai Yutang's command, the bandits rushed out silently, taking advantage of the guards' unpreparedness, several sneak attacks succeeded.Even those who reacted later and began to resist were at a disadvantage, and could only shout: "There are assassins!"

Seeing this, Bai Yutang immediately floated towards the execution platform, cut off the hemp rope binding Yan Wushuang with a knife, and patted Yan Wushuang on the cheek: "Hey, are you still awake?"

"Heh... I still have a breath!" Yan Wushuang looked tired, but his eyes were black and shiny, "Give me a knife, and I can kill two more people!"

"Spine." Bai Yutang smiled, and picked up a simple knife dropped by the yamen servant from the ground and gave it to him.

Yan Wushuang didn't pick anything, took the knife and went to help his younger brother.

Pang Yu didn't bother to watch, he had already prepared a lot of hidden weapons when he came, and now he saw any gaps and went to make up for them. Gradually, the yamen servants fell to the ground and couldn't get up.

But they shouted "there is an assassin" still being heard, and the footsteps of the arresters and servants coming from the government office were close in sight.

"Don't love to fight, go!" Pang Yu shouted.

Unexpectedly, there were chasing soldiers behind and people blocking them in front, as if they had figured out the direction of their retreat.

Although there was only one person, the indifferent expression on his face made people feel more vigilant.

"Xiaoyu, I didn't expect that we would meet again in such a way." The man with a purple gold hammer and a bloody aura, is it Zhao Qiutang or who?

"Zhao Qiutang, I have also heard about what you did in Xuzhou. A word of advice, don't make the same mistake again and again." Pang Yu said with a frown.

"Do you have to fight against me?" Zhao Qiutang's eyes flashed madness, "Then, you die with them too..."
